When we first install TWRP we get the unmodified partition screen....What should we select there?

All I remember was a keep read only button

I have a ROM skeleton that can flash your upgrade through TWRP recovery, I'll upload it later, simply unpack the firmware with customisation tool, drag and drop the system folder into the .zip and rename boot.partition to boot.img and throw that inside the .zip too
There is no longer ANY need for USB burning tool.
With this method you can backup your device before flashing so if something does go wrong your device is completely recoverable

Has anyone had trouble with a wireless KeyBoard with the 7.1.2 software? I could not get the Enter key to work with most apps, especially browsers....so typing in addresses was useless..


Tried a Keyboard remapping app I saw because this was an issue in 7.1.1 and voila

I've got a T95Zplus on the way (3GB/32GB version) I guessing these are one of the better android boxes and from what I can gather you can customize the firmware? (I've had a few android boxes before but never customised any so the whole custom firmware will be new to me)

Hello every body. How can I be sure to have a 32gb 3gb version? For example, can I try to test my ram with some apps like memtest on pc? Or maybe can I try to fill the space available on my box with somes large files to be sure it isn't a upgraded (fake) 3gb 32g version likes the SD card buy in China for 10$ to 128gb? What do you think about it?

Thats because noone was able to get recoveries, make proper flashable roms etc until like 2 weeks ago when I put 100% effort into this project

Hey every one. Just a little feedback about the test of my t95z plus 3gb 32gb in 1073.
Every tests are OK the built in storage is truly a 32gb (I fill it with no error to be sure) and the ram seems to be 3gb too (I use an app named fill memory to simulate a full memory use) and I do a memtest with no errors.
At this time we are 3 people with the same box 3gb 32gb in 1073 stock rom and for us and our box the only TWRP working is for the 2gb 16gb and the only rom booting is for 2gb 16gb too.

I'm thinking it is because you are still on the 7.1.1 firmware, do a twrp backup, and then flash the stock 7.1.2 through the USB Burning Tool , flash twrp and then try and flash the custom 3/32 rom.

Stock 7.1.2 and the USB Burning Tool can be downloaded here:

OK thanks. The only one things afraid me about that it's if the box don't restart after USB flashing have we got a solution or not?
And second point where can I found the good wire to do that?

Uploading POISON ROM now!
Also i found another way to implement init.d without kernel modification
Heres a sneekpeek of what to expect along with blazing fast performance and a crapload of apps removed, roms only 450mb.

    This is just a little thread ive made to share details, support, roms, etc for the T95Z Plus.

    Guide to making a rom
    Wanna create your own ROM? Check out my Android guides on Youtube right Here

    Firmware
    7.1.2 for the 3/32GB T95Z variant

    Flash instructions
    1.Use the USB burning tool.

    Recovery
    So far we have a working recovery(TWRP) thanks to @rrvuhpg
    You can download it from HERE for the 2/16GB T95Z variant(Mirrored and renamed custom-recovery.img for the sake of flashing instructions)
    HERE for the 3/32GB T95Z variant(Mirrored and renamed custom-recovery.img for the sake of flashing instructions)

    Flash instructions
    1. Download ADB and install it on your pc(not explaining this, there are 5 second installers) then open a command prompt in the directory of the custom recovery
    2. Enable USB debugging, go to settings>about and click build number about 10 times, then go back to the main settings menu and you will see developer options, enter it and check allow USB debugging.
    3. Connect to your device via IP address. go to settings>about>status and get your IP address. it should be something like 192.168.25.19
    4. In CMD type the following commands, replace YOURIPADDRESS with the address we got from step 3
    Code:
     adb connect YOURIPADDRESS
    adb push custom-recovery.img /sdcard/
    adb shell su -c dd if=/sdcard/custom-recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery
    adb reboot recovery

    ADDITIONAL
    To revert, Download the stock recovery from HERE and do step 4 again, this time replacing custom-recovery.img with stock-recovery.img
    Code:
     adb connect YOURIPADDRESS
    adb push stock-recovery.img /sdcard/
    adb shell su -c dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery
    adb reboot recovery

    Modified Launcher
    Heres a modified sunvell launcher i made, the UI is ugly when you first get the device so this makes it alot smoother, custom wallpapers are currently semi working so i didnt include it in this version.
    But heres what it will look like.
    Screenshot_20180113-015022.png


    Custom launcher download

    Instructions-
    1. Place on device
    2. Rename the file SunvellWin8Launcher.apk
    3. Place the file in /system/app/SunvellWin8Launcher/ and overwrite the existing SunvellWin8Launcher.apk
    4. Set the permissions to 644(rw-r-r)
    5. Reboot

    ADDITIONAL
    To revert follow the same steps but with the stock launcher

    Stock launcher download

    Init.d
    Here is a recovery flashable zip file that enables init.d support.

    Amlogic Init.d enabler download

    Instructions
    1. Place on device
    2. Reboot into TWRP recovery
    3. Flash the Init.d-Injector-v1.6-T95Z.zip file
