TWRP For Tecno Phantom 9
TWRP For Tecno Phantom 9
(13-06-2020, 12:31 PM)p2g2 Hello good people.
Hope all is well. I need help. For the life of me, I can't seem to install and run TWRP in my Tecno Phantom 9. I have unlocked the OEM, rooted the phone, enabled developer options, etc etc.
However, a when I boot into recovery, I get a blank black screen, and no TWRP. Is there something that i'm doing wrong or is the TWRP image corrupted.
I am using Minimal ADB and Fastboot on windows 10.
All vcom and tecno drivers are installed well.
I flash vbeta.img file first, then the TWRP via adb.
I would like to figure this out so as to be able to install custom roms and backup.
Bricked my phone earlier on and had to reinstall the firmware from scratch cause I have no backup.
Never had this issue with Samsung phones and my original Tecno phantom A plus AKA F7(old school I know )
Any links for a working TWRP for Tecno Phantom 9, tips and tricks for the installation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the help.
Good day

*make sure to use your phone’s stock recovery.img
I used the TWRP porter tool ([Hovatek] Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.6), followed every instruction from the thread, selected my current android kernel 4.9.117, but i still can't boot to TWRP recovery. The only difference now is that I'm getting a dead android red triangle image, with 'No command' text at the bottom.
Here is a log from the porter tool:
Code:... start log ...
Recovery image isn't signed
Recovery image unpacked successfully
All port files copied successfully
Recovery packed and copied to output folder successfully
... end log ...
I used adb to flash vbeta.img first, then the recovery image using the following adb commands:
Code:fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Is there something that I'm missing?

you flashed the recovery.img into boot partition instead of flashing to recovery. you are meant to use
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
