Here the version of the recovery TWRP 3.2.1 for Maze Alpha X 6/64

Please test it and tell me if it works.

How to flash:

I Fastboot method (must unlock device) :
1- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode : adb reboot bootloader or phone off, press and hold at the same time POWER and Vol+ buttons
2- Connect your phone to your computer with adb/fastboot already installed
3- Unlock your bootloader : fastboot oem unlock (it will erase you data, only data)
4- Flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_X_twrp_321.img

II SPFlashTool method (no need to unlock device, but can not works for you) :
1- Download latest version of SPFlashTools.
2- Execute it and load the provided scatter (the recovery image must be in the same folder as the scatter and must be renamed to recovery.img) then press "Dowbload" button
3a- windows SPFlashTools users : phone off, press VOL+ and connect it to your PC (running SPFlashTool and waiting for phone connetion)
3b- linux SPFlashTools users : phone off and connected to PC , press VOL+ and POWER while your PC is running SPFlashTool (with sudo) and waiting for phone connetion.

If needed here my TWRP backup of Maze Alpha X
It contains all partitions except nvram and data.

Unzip it in your SDCARD in the folder /TWRP/BACKUPS and run TWRP to restore the partitions you need.

How to root:

1. Boot into TWRP and choose first "change language" and choose your language then press the "cancel" button while asking you for decryption password for data
2. In your PC download the Magisk-v15.4.zip and put it in your SDCARD (not internal storage!)
3. Install the Magisk-v15.4.zip from the SDCARD
4. reboot and install the MagiskManager apk

I have test it myself (with fastboot method) in a friend phone (MAZE ALPHA X 6/64) and it works great.

Soft bricked Alpha X with fastboot method

I tried method with fastboot. But I think I've soft bricked my Alpha X (6/128).:crying: Now I need stock rom for getting back my phone. Is there a source to get stock rom?:confused:

I have tested it on an Alpha Maze X 6/64, it works great.
Simply flash a recovery cannot brick any thing!
Even if the flashed recovery is bad (it is not the case of this TWRP), you can always boot Android.

You have to do correctly things and no worry.

Some infos :

1- Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone data (only user data, not the system)
2- Before flashing recovery you can first test it without flashing it : fastboot boot recovery.img
3- while testing it and if it works great, do immediately a full backup using the running TWRP, or at least boot, recovery and system, in an external SDCARD
4- If the test is OK you can now flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5- if for some reason something were wrong, you can always boot the recovery again (as in step 2) and restore your stock recovery (you have backup is step 3) or the whole rom

Thanks for Your answer.
But certainly no. I did all you wrote before but doing a backup. When I started recovery via fastboot it worked very well. So I thouhgt that there's no need to do a full backup. Then I flashed recovery and after restart it booted immediately into recovery. Now I'm not able to start android. So I think I need a stock rom for flashing my Alpha X with a complete stock rom . Afterwards I do Your way and do a full backup before flashing TWRP.

I am almost sure that you have flashed the recovery image in the boot partition !
You have do that fastboot flash boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

To have your phone working, just flash the attached boot.img : fastboot flash boot boot.alpha.x.img

@ dreambo

Thank you very much, but i need the preloader file for SP_flash Tool to flash TWRP, because SP_flash don`t flash recovery without this *.img file :)

Hope I can find it into the TWRP Image

Hi dreambo,

I've done what You wrote in Your advice, nothing changed. Maze Alpa X still reboots to TWRP. I'm not able start Android. Do You know a source with stock rom?

Have you try to restore with the backup I upload ?
You can also flash the boot.img from withing TWRP instead of using fastboot, have you try this ?

Hi dreambo.
What kind of Maze Alpha do You have? Mine is 6GB/128GB. So can I use Your backup?
It is not mine, it is the property of a friend : all I know it is a 6/64 one. Before restoring do a full backup of yours.

Try to restore only boot and system partitions and see if it works.

Have you try to flash the boot.img using TWRP ?

Try also this : fastboot boot boot.img
