I have an 'Advanced A4 2019' phone from BLU, and it's known to have spyware. I wanted to flash the phone's recovery with TWRP to install a custom ROM, but I can't seem to enable flashing. It runs android 8.1 at the moment.

Commands I've tried in fastboot:

fastboot getvar all

all: 
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

fastboot oem device-info

FAILED (remote: 'unknown cmd.')

fastboot flashing lock

FAILED (remote: 'Not implement.')

(This is the good one)

fastboot flashing unlock

FAILED (remote: 'Not implemet.')

That's not my typo, it says not implemet. Also, its worth mentioning that the screen that pops up in fastboot is different from the normal one. Has the binary just been patched and there's no way to put my own OS on it? Thanks in advance

@alecxs I can't flash, that's the issue And I can't su until I flash and root – Ari Eythorsson Feb 22 '20 at 06:18
no MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin, auth_sv5.auth? – alecxs Feb 22 '20 at 06:23
@alecxs Just downloaded SP, I'm going to try it out and I'll update – Ari Eythorsson Feb 22 '20 at 06:29

@alecxs I can't use SP, I can't find the scatter file Edit: I'm on a linux computer so I can't get the MTK tools – Ari Eythorsson Feb 22 '20 at 06:44
is this your phone model and ROM version? https://androidhost.ru/Ueo – alecxs Feb 22 '20 at 06:58
MTK droid tools is outdated, create scatter file with WwR MTK – alecxs Feb 22 '20 at 07:01
@alecxs Good find! Yeah, that's the ROM, I just cant seem to replace it. Although if I recall, there's a mode that you can get to from recovery that'll let you do it – Ari Eythorsson Feb 22 '20 at 07:01
@alecxs That link is dead and everything else is super shady. Is there a way to get it with adb? – Ari Eythorsson Feb 22 '20 at 07:03
try mtk-su but i strongly recommend creating your own scatter and make a full ROM dump with WwR MTK and SP Flash Tool before mess up – alecxs Feb 22 '20 at 07:07
links working fine you probably didn't login 4pda.ru it's the official documentation from the original author vvaaavv – alecxs Feb 22 '20 at 07:16
