  • Unlock the OEM locking

    > adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot oem unlock

  • Mount the root partition as read-write

    > adb shell
> su
> mount -o remount -o rw /

  • Dump raw images

    It is highly recommended to do this to backup your device. Since Adbd may return unauthenticated on Linux on my side, use macOS instead.

    > adb reboot recovery
> adb root
  timeout expired while waiting for device
> adb ls /dev/block/by-name

  • TWRP/Fastboot images

    Download from here, or see 'Dump raw images'.

    Touch screen doesn't work in TWRP now, use OTG devices. Fastboot driver may be missing on Windows and macOS, finally I tested Fedora 37 and it works.

    > adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
> fastboot reboot
> adb reboot recovery

  • Allwinner FEL mode

    Power off the device, press on the 'UPDATE' button, then connect to PC and click the 'POWER' button 5-10 times, your device will go to FEL mode. Use Sunxi-tools to perform further steps.
