Hi,
The stock recovery has been restored due to the inappropriate attempt to boot your phone into recovery. Flash TWRP again, than first boot into recovery but when you see the boot screen, you have to release the power button and keep only the vol-up button pressed until you see the TWRP welcome screen.

Hi,
Try to flash the latest ROM with SPFT in Firmware Upgrade mode but before starting the flashing process, replace the stock recovery by the TWRP one in the list of partitions. After finished, don't forget to boot into recovery first.

Good day everyone.
I'm kinda new here, but offer with C Note made me create account here. I'm curious if anyone has already got this newest smartphone? Will it be possible to install TWRP on it? Having rooted phone is my only issue these days, if it will be possible someday (either way - unlocking code, proper ROM, anything else), I'm taking it.

And one more question - how does it looked in Your case with taxes for new phone? It depends from the destination, is it given to anyone, just because it's West Asia region, or it's a total lotery?

I'm really into buying this phone, but that one case will blown away my questions.

Hi

Can i change format /system/, /cache/ and /data/ from ext4 to f2fs using twrp? It's safe or maybe I'll brick my phone? I asked becouse f2fs is better, faster and designed for flash memory file system.  

P.S. I have Umidigi Z Pro with  V3.01_20170408 ROM, twrp 3.10 na root.

You'll brick your phone or simply won't be able to format your partitions to f2fs. The MediaTek platform is not compatible with that file system.

Can I (or how can I) root my C Note? The phone is ordered and will be in my hands within the month I think. How does rooting works - by some kind of code, application, or just by entering the googleplay and choosing one of the apps?
