Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't it working?
First: update your ADB. If you don't have ADB, then you'll want to fix that before you spend another second at XDA. I personally only use official releases from Google, so I might not be much help if you're using something you found at random at XDA or elsewhere on the Internet. You can download Google's latest release of their tools from the very bottom of this page. (I recommend installing or extract them to C:\Android for easy access.) Using the "SDK Manager" included in that download, choose to install "Android Platform-tools" and "Google USB drivers", and remember to run it again once in a blue moon for updates.

If ADB isn't the problem, I'm happy to offer what assistance I can. Please describe what you were trying to do and how, then attach any .log files the script created.

Where is TWRP?
The link to the latest version is linked in this thread under Step 3.
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img and put it on your internal storage.

Does Data need to be wiped?
For everything to work properly, YES. If you don't have an inherent understanding of what will happen if you don't run a Format Data, then please do so the first time you enter TWRP. This will erase Internal Storage and remove the default encryption so that TWRP can function to the fullest. BACK UP YOUR STUFF FIRST!

Is no-verity-opt-encrypt necessary?
YES, but not totally. This ZIP makes it possible to allow system modifications, and prevents a couple easy ways to end up with corrupt data or bootloops.
Download that from Step 3 in the thread above, and put it in the folder named zips next to EasyRecowvery.
If you're going to install SuperSU right away, you shouldn't really need it.

What is selinux?
selinux is a major security feature, and also a major pain in the butt depending on who you ask.
If you don't know if you need it in "permissive" mode, just leave it be. You can always reflash later.

Why isn't TWRP showing Internal Storage?
These phones use encryption out of the box. In order for TWRP to function properly, you will need to use the Wipe Data feature after installation.
This will blow away everything on your Internal Storage, so make sure you don't have anything important in there!

Did you see the post just prior to yours? It only worked on the initial release. If you have a H918 on 10b firmware then it works. Otherwise you have to search for the firmware version you have. Which version do you have?

I am on 10u bought this phone cheap from eBay for its sound quality.... But it isnt what I was thinking as compared to my Lenovo Vibe X3 (this phone sounds more powerful than
V20) the DAC won't fire up the way I want so need to Root so I can do some changes to put it into high impedence always. If not able to fix this phone it will be a bet on my 2month salary, that's what it costed me.

Please find the screen attached I was talking about the link where instructions were, even it it's not gonna help he someone will need that link.

The only way to root for you is to downgrade to 10p and use this thread:

    I don't always follow a new device during the troubled early days of root...
    ...but when I do, I'm utterly scarred by the chaos and confusion.​

    Since I've watched the current V20 root exploit evolve from "maybe DirtyCow would work here" into a full-blown war on Nougat's sepolicy, and finally into the emergent "Recowvery"; I thought it might be fun to get my own hands a little dirty and write some wrappers to automate the rooting process with ample error-checking along the way.

    >> Please take a moment to check out @jcadduono's Recowvery thread at http://xdaforums.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594 for more information, to say "thanks," and to donate if you can afford it. <<

    WARNING: ATTEMPT AT YOUR OWN RISK! THIS PACKAGE IS RELEASED AS-IS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED
    THIS PACKAGE MAY MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER (or harder) BUT NOTHING CAN FULLY PROTECT YOU FROM TROUBLE WHEN ROOTING A DEVICE!
    IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU END UP WITH A BRICK IN YOUR POCKET AFTER ATTEMPTING ROOT    ​
