Question TWRP for Cricket Dream 5G

[Welkwo]

Give me a bit and it'll be available, I've got to revert my phone to stock and perform a backup in that case... It'll be up later tonight

Correction, I forgot that @Josephdbrewer25 already has one posted, it can be downloaded here: https://mega.nz/folder/UARQCD6I#8CSNy43GWo6XjEKk_mlldw

You might not have to.. As this phone has become more available to the greater public and more people have started putting the firmware online.. I found another one online that was the same size as the one that you had so I downloaded it and I will try it. I'll keep you in the know

After downloading, to flash super with MTK Client change the downloaded super_XX_XX_XX.img to .bin.. It's the same format as a bin file (Raw image)

quick question: I think I messed up the build.prop, does anyone have a stock copy I can download? If not, is there a way to restore it to stock using the posted backup on mega using twrp (or do I have to use the MTK client)? Thanks.

It turned out it wasn't the build.prop and I just had to flash one of the super images that was posted, but it's now booting up again. Thanks again for helping out!

is this a newer device guys? If so I may go grab one to dev on for a bit. Also, are you aware you can built twrp as a proper boot image? if i get one I will get twrp in order and try to add decryption support. I enjoy low budget device hacking and modding as you'll see from my other posts and Cricket is also my Carrier

lol, they have a device at my local Cricket, gonna head over and check it out

They should just give you one for free. .that's how myself and a few other got theirs..

'm having one hell of a time with mine.. Now mine is stuck in the BootROM stage.. i was able to flash some stock firmware to it but now it's having a time booting out of bootrom and into fastboot altogether.. windows keeps noticing it and then it'll drop the connection and then recognize it again and repeat in like 3 seconds increments.. I don't know what to do at this point..

not sure how you guys got one for free, seeing as it's advertised as a $189 device. Either way though, I payed a lil more than I wanted for it since I was under the assumption it was just a $20 low budget device but upon actually getting it, seems to be a rather decent device. Should take decent pics with the 48mp camera, love the fp reader on the back like it is, and was super surprised to find the screen was much bigger than my current S10+.

So where are we on the modding of this thing? More importantly, what can I do to help and clean up any remaining issues you guys are having?

For some reason mine was pretty fantastic out of the box but I'm just wondering how after an hour or two it seems to slow down tremendously.. I'm not sure if its the cache doesn't hold well or it is just a faulty device I've got or what

bone stock where it downloads a bunch of crap or just in general on any rom ?

I'll be putting out a custom stock rom at some point as well as already starting initial work on a AIO ToolKit for this device. Bone stock device to bl unlocked and custom stock and recoveries all in one stop

So far, TWRP is done. The instructions are on up above, some have had issues with flashing modified vendor partition. @DrScrad had issues and I provided a modified super, he had issues with flashing. I flashed it on my Wife's phone from stock without issue, so proceed with caution. The modified super disables forced device encryption for better comparability with TWRP, TWRP currently has decryption options but with FBE enabled it will not decrypt data. I have not yet tried manual encryption for comparability.

sounds good, with every new device I always start from scratch. About to do a full dump before i proceed. While I go through it I'll also be writing the toolkit. I am interested in a zip i recall seeing though. Wasn't there a rw zip for making the dynamic partitions rw ? That would be easiest for me to work with to create a custom stock image. I dread the thought of having to use otatools and start building my own super images again, haven't had to do that since 2019. Boy that was a trip, everything was new and little documentation. Now we got cool things like rw zip for dynamic. Only other way I know to get rw on dynamic is to dump super and rebuild it, which I don't want to do if at all possible

I have a modified RW super, it is already built into the disabling forced encryption super.img

Disable force encrypt with RW: https://mega.nz/file/CpE3BSzJ#B8vA1108at0Tdd9DpE5OIgsEmBoV_Y8PlwY2uHotzTU

Verify the integrity of the file before flashing! I believe that's the issue others had where they had an incomplete download. All of my flashing efforts with this image have been successful, be sure to perform a factory reset prior to flashing this image.

that's a rw super 100% unmodified besides adding rw and killing encryption in fstab ?

Yes, this is mostly stock.
