Hi.

Sorry for delay.  I was busy porting RemixOS to Hibook.

Test TWRP for Hi12 and feedback, please. https://yadi.sk/d/0NGV6Uo3sFYbs

Easiest way is to download Rashr from the market ad flash the IMG from storage, you can then boot to it from the same app

Is it possible to flash the EXFat+NTFS support without formatting/reflashing Hi12?

I followed the instructions for this and it worked well with a clean root and NTFS support on microsd. The script for unlocking the bootloader said it was already unlocked (maybe from previous root or maybe from factory) so I followed through the rest of the procedure and I didn’t loose any installed apps. One strange thing though was when I removed my root from the previous method it also removed ability to connect as usb media to my PC so it’s only connecting as adb device and I wasn’t able to copy the install zips to my internal storage so had to use the microsd card.

Thanks for sharing the method it’s a better root than we had and opens up possibilities with the tethered TWRP.

Can you advise a step to step how to install this TWRP img? I could not get it from page 1 of this thread? Tks.

Official way would be to flash recovery img with fastboot like in this link:

How to Install TWRP Recovery via Fastboot

But it’s easier to follow tip from Richard and install Rashr app from playstore and use it to install img from internal storage.

I’m not sure why I lost MTP storage in android when I removed the old root method but with the new TWRP, MTP storage works well in recovery, shows up as HiBook on PC.

Thanks, it worked like a charm!

I need root to make some apps access external sd card (for example ttorrent), use ntfs usb devices and maybe find an app which low back light cause lower setting sometimes is too high…

Will root satisfy my needs?

Which root method is easier and safer?

Thanks

Thanks

Try to ask App developer also as may be fault of app not asking and being granted permissions to write to ex sd or maybe Google doesn’t think torrent app safe so doesn’t give permissions. You can probably fix most things with root if you know how, but that’s the hard part.

I installed the NTFS / Exfat fix in this thread. It works on microsd card but still can’t recognize NTFS formatted usb stick.
