[lalitjoshi06]

Touch is disabled in kernel for recovery partation by infinix.

[XDAdeveeloopers]

when i connect my mouse via otg or flash it temporarily it works fine except that it shows that the internal storage is 0mb and when i try to install something it tells me that it's unable to mount /data as rw
also can you tell me how to get the password required in the first screen ?

Read OP carefully. You need to format data partition completly first time and need to patch boot img via lazy flasher.
Showing 0mb bcz it is encrypted. You can use memory card.
If you want root then go for magisk root till recovery updated.

 

[XDAdeveeloopers]

OK, now I removed the encryption, installed magisk and the root worked but when I try to install busybox and some other apps it doesn't work. When I try to install supersu zip it doesn't work (extracting ramdisk failure aborting) , isn't there any way to install supersu in order to get apps working correctly?

which busybox your trying and what error.
currently supersu have some error with new devices. which version you tried it should be 2.82 or above.

 

[XDAdeveeloopers]

I downloaded SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Busybox pro 61
MagiskManager-v5.4.3.apk

 

[lalitjoshi06]

I downloaded SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Busybox pro 61
MagiskManager-v5.4.3.apk

Use busybox form playstore stericson.

 

[XDAdeveeloopers]

I downloaded both free and pro versions of stericson's busybox and neither of them worked.
Also I downloaded supersu 2.82 and it also didn't work.

 

[lalitjoshi06]

Finally the Touch is updated and working now.
I enabled touch in kernel which is disabled for recovery partition.

System is encrypted.
Use magiskmanager beta 14.5 or flash lazyflasher via twrp then one time you need to wipe data partition.
Always remember when you flash orignal boot.img you need to flash lazyflasher or magisk otherwise your system will become encrypted again.

 

[XDAdeveeloopers]

Thank you, now touch is working perfectly <3

 

[lalitjoshi06]

I downloaded both free and pro versions of stericson's busybox and neither of them worked.

you can use ndk busybox from magisk app there is option download module.
But currently there is problem with module with this phone. the data partition is in F2FS format and its kernel is not handling f2fs properly.
TWO option for use magisk module.
1. wait for kernel update via infinix. or
2. format data partition as Ext4 from twrp.

Super su does not work correctly with f2fs currently.

 

[XDAdeveeloopers]

But when I format data partition it resets my phone

 

[lalitjoshi06]

But when I format data partition it resets my phone

yes formatting data will reset it.
