I posted a pic of "hello".
I switched to remix os because it sounds cool, but I can't upgrade higher than 8.1?
Something does happen when I flash an android 9 remix os:
The remix os logo shows
Its goes smaller and bigger
Thats it never goes to a home page or anything

No I found out why it dosn't work...
it's becuase the api level isn't supported:
Because device device wasn't released with Android 9 or higher.
Read this, especially the "Check Device Compliance" section: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image
How ever I found out some more interesting information about my phone:
My phone company (Maxwest) rebrands phones! So here is my original phone :
But Coolpad released this phone using android 7. Which means Maxwest had to change the api level of the device.

I'm not sure about that. Isn't that the requirement with just Google's GSI? Have you tried a Android 9/10/11 phh GSI?
Post #142 I asked him to try Android 11 GSI but that failed. Boots forever.
Anyway somewhat it may be solved by executing the following code in TWRP.
Code:
adb shell

su
mount -o rw,remount /
echo "setprop debug.stagefright.ccodec 0" >> /system/bin/rw-system.sh
Magisk should be flashed before executing that. It is claimed to be working in Walmart Onn Tablets which is another supercheap. The Onn Tablets were launched with Pie but not Oreo though.

Maybe the OP can try runing 'adb logcat' or 'dmesg' to see if the error can be solved. It could just be that some binaries are missing and they need to be pushed.
I'm also thinking of forking the phh generic device tree and making it more specific to the phone so that the op can have an actual custom rom. What do you think of that?
Good idea :)

Hey, interesting thread. I also have a phone with unisoc chip that I did a little bit of tinkering with but couldn't go any further than just unlocking the bootloader (using the same hovatek guide). Also this one comes with a unisoc sc7731e chip and same 8.1 stock rom.

btw, I have an idea, can you try using/porting a boot image by replacing the kernel from an android 9 device that has the same chipset as yours, that might make it to boot into an android 9 rom.

The real problem is no devices with Android 9 runs on a same/similar unisoc/spreadtrum chip, according to my research.

I have a maxwest nitro 5p, I got it free from the government assistance provider. the phone is a chore to use to say the least. I would like to root and load a custom rom but I can't find any info on this particular in the modding community

So far I have built this twrp with this tree https://github.com/Seplx/twrp_device_maxwest_sharkl2

you can download it from here

try to boot it with
'fastboot boot recovery.img'

if it boots I recommend that you don't do any operation within it as I'm still missing the partition sizes and I don' know the side effects of that.
Hello Seppppx! I am happy to tell you the twrp successfully flashed! Not only that I was able to root my device as well.

I would like to learn how make a device tree from scratch or maybe learn how to make my very own custom rom. Anyways could you give me some tips or a reliable article to learn from?

    Android phones/tablets powered by UniSoc ( formerly Spreadtrum ) chipset can only get bootloader-unlocked if both the vbmeta-sign.img - what contains the public keys - and vbmeta.pem - what holds the private keys - are present on device.

    this may be new lead pls elaborate

    As I can see I stated it wrong: must read "are present" instead of "are present on device". Sorry for this.

    1. Typically people by means of SPD Research Tool extract existing vbmeta-sign.img, then pass this extracted file to fastboot what rewrites it at its own when you run
    Code:
    fastboot devices
    fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta-sign vbmeta-sign.img
    fastboot reboot
    You don't have to create vbmeta-sign.img at your own as you can read elsewhere.

    2. File vbmeta.pem what holds the unlock-token what you get with
    Code:
    fastboot devices
    fastboot oem get_identifier_token
    must get created at your own - see attachment. Once created you rename it to signature.bin and flash it as follows
    Code:
    fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin

    HTH
