Bad news............Yesterday I tested new KKM3 firmware (new fresh flash with cable):well, the new stock build has arrived https://cubot.net/platform/Support/detail/id/680/cid/86.html
has anybody tried to flash gsi over it?
anyway thanks for sharing
The kkm2 can work with permanent root.Thank you for the help! It worked and I succesfully flashed Lineage 18.1!
My mistake was, that I flashed the wrong stock firmware. I thought I have the KKM2Pro but actually I have KKM2.
Am I right, that there is no way to long-term root the kkm2 (with normal but, not always booting from recovery)? From reading this thread I have this impression, but mayby I overlooked some posts.
The instructions you share are quite standard for a gsi, but do not mention the modded firmware. Where can it be found? Do you have a link?There is a report that it is possible to flash lineage-20-light build to KKM3. According to user he was using modded stock firmware before flashing.

Commands:
fastboot devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot resize-logical-partition product 38000
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot-recovery
1. Go to the developer menu and enable USB debugging. In the on state, connect the device to the computer and transfer it from charging mode to file transfer mode. Connect with a good short cable directly, without any magnetic connectors and other pranks;
2. Open the console and type there:
adb devices
Look at the phone screen, it will ask for pairing. Check the box "remember the choice" and agree - in the console you should see the number of your device. If it doesn’t appear, enter again:
adb devices
We don’t touch the phone with our hands anymore, we do everything from the console.
3. We put the phone into bootloader mode FASTBOOT. To do this, enter the command:
adb reboot fastboot
The phone should reboot and you will see FASTBOOT on the screen.
4. Check if our device is available via the console. (Remember about the drivers and that the phone should be visible in the system in the off state?). We request the phone with the command:
fastboot devices
In the console, you should see the number of your device.
5. Command:
fastboot resize-logical-partition product_a 38000
Where:
resize-logical-partition - repartition the logical partition...
product_a - in subsystem "a" (have you studied the topic about Treble Project and know about a/b markup?) ))
38000 - for a size of 38000Kb (why so many - it's not clear, probably just took it with a margin)
6. Flashing the system itself:
fastboot flash system path to .img
7. further commands:
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot-recovery
After rebooting in Recovery, you can disconnect the device from the computer. Next, we reset the user data using the factory / data reset menu item (in my opinion, I write from memory) , then
turn it on and use it.
and what about disabling vbmetaThere is a report that it is possible to flash lineage-20-light build to KKM3. According to user he was using modded stock firmware before flashing.

How do you know that it is a screenshot from KKM3?? There is nothing written in Russian language about KKM3.There is a report that it is possible to flash lineage-20-light build to KKM3. According to user he was using modded stock firmware before flashing.

Maybe there is something that we are missing? I don't understand Russian but there was some talk about "specific keys" to unbrick devices after failed OTA (common issue). Can flashing those keys affect to rom flashing? I don't know what those are.I installed this lineage-20.0-20230109-UNOFFICIAL-gsi_arm64_vS.img.xz, which started up, the rest did not want to get up either
Good afternoon! The Chinese sent the key, removed the red inscription. Instructions in the archive.
I have translated it and read it. They still have problems with bootloop. That flashing procedure that someone wrote about was a standard procedure for flashing GSIs and wasn't working. So there is still no progress.You can find discussion from 4pda forum:
However, someone else tested those instructions after my message but failed like people here (endless bootloop). But I still think that the first user was able to flash a specific GSI LOS 20. At least the screenshot has same resolution than KKM3 and the same user has posted other KKM3 related stuff to the forum.

They now posted firmware dump of the LOS 20 installation (KKM3). However, there are many issues.
Known bugs: The screen lock does not work, it connects to the WIFI network, but there is no Internet access, it is impossible to enter the engineering mode, it is not possible to install apk from internal memory, it can be installed using ADBAppControl.
as far as i remember the conversation was about restoring imei and firmware after accidental flashing via spft in format mode
But there is already firmware dump available of successfully LOS 20 installation. So it is possible to flash GSI. Now we just need to figure out how to reproduce it. Or then there is different hardware on some units...as for gsi nobody from 4pda could reproduce successful flashing so far
yep, i didn't say that i don't believe that guy or it's impossible
Strange, on mine Silence is working fine.Hello,
I installed LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64_bvN.img on my new KKM2, it works fine except for the SMS : I can send SMS but I can't receive SMS. This seems very odd to me.
I tried SimpleSMS and Silence apps, same result.
Really stuck here, if anyone can help...![]()
You don't need to go back to stock!@birdibird
Thanks for answering.
Yes, Silence is set as default sms app.
Why would it be able to send but not to receive ? Something is wrong.
I tried these:
- swapping sim slots
- changing sim (other network provider)
- restart billion times
- checking smsc number
None succeeded.
Don't know if it's related to my problem, but I can't sign in Gmail web page (not app): "Unable to connect" either Wifi or 4G.. Other web pages are ok.
I think I will return to stock rom, then try flash again... It takes hours when you're not familiar with process.
Any other solutions appreciated.

I have moved the posts relating to the Pocket HERE. You can continue the conversation there. As and when development takes place for this device, you can make a request for a new forum as described by my colleague @Timmmmaaahh! above.Note to moderators : we have been polluting the Kingkong Mini / Kingkong Mini 2 thread with news, speculations and comments on the Cubot Pocket since April 23rd.
I think, both KKM / KKM2 and Pocket lovers would benefit from a split of the thread…
Cobus.
