Anybody?

It looks like someone was going to start trying to build TWRP custom recovery for that device but they never did anything with it, the date is from 2021 and there hasn't been any progress and no coding has been posted/published/released. Whatever it was, it is long dead now.

If they had built a working TWRP and if the bootloader on the device were unlocked, TWRP could have been flashed onto the device, then it could have been used to root the device by flashing some form of modified file to inject root binaries to gain root on the device.

Thanks for the explanation.

It looks like there are a couple of binary blobs posted to this project https://github.com/twrpdtgen/androi...720.011-mp1k61v164bspP7-release-keys/prebuilt , so I thought maybe the Image.gz file does contain a prebuilt twrp image and, if so, what the state of that prebuilt image would be.

would anyone be willing to upload there super.img? I hosed mine and sadly didn't have a back-up. Finding this phone's firmware has been a hassle to say the least.

So I have an unmodified Wingtech visible midnight. If anyone can tell me how to get the .img files off of it for the purpose of sharing to this forum/ rooting/ backing up, then I'd gladly share the files with anyone that needs them.

You can't pull the .img files from your device without rooting the device first.

rooting the device is stupid easy, assuming somebody has rooted to be clear.
the phone is fun to play with.

I deleted my original super.img not paying attention using windows and the backup i made on my Linux was the one i hosed sadly.

I was just responding to them asking how to pull img files from the device in order to aid in rooting/modding the device, I was pointing out the redundancy of that statement.

On one side of the coin, if the device was already rooted, pulling files to aid in rooting would be unnecessary, on the other side of the coin, if a known rooting method exists for the device, again, pulling files to aid in rooting would be unnecessary.

no worries, i realized that after the fact and xda forum has changed since the last time i used it.

shedding some light on this phone

So I've became the lucky owner of two of these devices, and after hosing one and having to rebuild from scratch I want to provide some helpful information on rooting, backing up the device and general info that may or may-not be needed! So let's...
