The procedure works also for maze alpha X, except that you have to use this TWRP instead of the one mentioned in the tutorial.

I have not test it on Maze Alpha X (I do not have this phone), but I am sure at 99% that it will works, because we have the essential ingredients : the TWRP and Magisk
Thanks, I will try and report back

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

I tried to long :(
I renamed your boot.img to recovery and flashed it as recovery instead of boot :( I haven't think about what i'm doing :crying: Now i have an bootloop and can't acces the booloader anymore to flashe the right recovery back :crying:

Has anyone an idea?

Push the Vol+ button and the Power button at the same time and continue pushing until you have a menu : choose the bootloader using Vol+ button and then confirm with the Vol- button. You will in the bootloader mode and you can restore you partitions.

Sorry that it not works for you, because it must works in any way even with a wrong boot/recovery flashed.
The booloader mode is independent from any user partition, and it must works even if all the user partitions are formatted!

What about the SPFlashTool ? it will not works (because we need a complete flashable official ROM from MAZE) but it will at least recognize your phone.
If SPFlashTool recognize your phone, you must ask MAZE for flashable ROM, it must provide it, if they are a correct company.

If SPFlashTool do not recognize your phone, in a computer correctly configured to works with SPFlashTool, I cannot help you, perhaps a hardware issue, but know that a wrong flash of boot/recovery never kill a phone at all!

In fastboot mode only the command fastboot works not adb.
adb works in normal android boot or in TWRP recovery.

What show the command : fastboot devices ?
Nothing because i can't get the Phone into Bootloader to select Fastboot :(
It always shows the Boot Screen with the info "Phone is unlock ... will boot in 5 seconds" and thats the only thing i can see.
I can't get the Phone into Bootloader :rolleyes:

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?
Cheers. I encountered the same problem as you. However I had my own backup done before flashing recovery and could easily fix everything and do it the right way, which differs from the description in Post #1.
Here is how it worked for me (6/128):

How to flash:

I Fastboot method (must unlock device) :
0- Boot up new phone and enable developer settings (hit build# like a madman) and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock
1- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode :
Code:
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
2b-
Code:
fastboot boot recovery_maze_alpha_X_twrp_321.img
2c- do full backup on external sd and reboot into bootloader
3- Unlock your bootloader :
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
(it will erase your data, only data)
4- Reboot!
5- Enable USB Debugging again
6-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
7- Flash the recovery :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_X_twrp_321.img
8- Power off (hold all three buttons 'til blackscreen)
9- hold volume up + power and reboot into recovery (if you don't do it on first boot twrp wont work)
10- factory wipe in twrp to disable encryption of data
11- flash magisk ( I used magisk v16.0 and manager 5.6.3 and passed SafetyNet check :fingers-crossed: )
12- profit

Hi IxBUSTERxI,
I've got 6GB/128GB variant of Maze Alpha X. While rooting the phone, whithout having made a backup :)crying:) I softbricked it. Dreambo was so kind to provide me his backup of his phone, but it was 4GB/64GB variant. So now camera of my Maze Alpha X dosen't work anymore. Maze itself isn't also providing stock rom as a flashable version. If you own the 6GB/128GB variant it would be very kind, if You could upload a backup of Your ROM (without personal data) so I con flash it via TWRP to get my camera working again.
Thanks in advance for Your effort and time!
