We had previously released our TWRP auto porting tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/forum-39.html . Some were fortunate to get fully functionally TWRP with touch working while some got TWRP but with disabled touch or touch not working. If you are one of those having TWRP touch issue, below are some alternatives you could consider pending when or if a fix for this issue is ever found

What to do when TWRP touch is disabled or not working

For MTK devices @SachinBorkar has posted a guide on how to patch kernel @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27132.html ; you can try the method and see if it works for you or not. If not or too difficult then the alternatives below will come handy
List of successfully patched kernels with TWRP touch working

Karbonn Titanium Vista 4G @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27138.html
Gionee M5 mini @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27200.html
Tecno Camon CX Air @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27243.html

For Unisoc devices, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32743.html

Alternative 1 - Use OTG-Mouse in TWRP

Boot to TWRP recovery
Connect the OTG-cable to the phone then connect the mouse
A little mouse icon should appear in TWRP, you can move the mouse around and select items by left clicking

Alternative 2 - Boot TWRP recovery.img using Fastboot

This is a good option if your phone supports booting recovery image. Only way to find out if your phone supports booting recovery.img will be to test. Follow the procedure below

Run the command below in fastboot window

Code:

fastboot boot recovery.img

Alternative 3 - Use a non-touch custom recovery

If for any reason OTG-Mouse doesn't work for you, then you could consider using a non-touch custom recovery such as Philz or CWM. MTK device owners can port Philz using our tool at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21495.html, SPD device owners can attempt to manually port any of the 3 recoveries @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-265...#pid162255

Alternative 4 - Flash recovery.img into boot partition

This option is for those who either don't have OTG-Mouse or are unable to get a working non-touch custom recovery. You must have a copy of your boot.img readily available

Flash recovery.img into boot partition on your phone then power on your phone. The phone should boot directly into TWRP with touch fully functional
When you're done using TWRP and wish to reboot back to homescreen, you'll need to flash boot.img [either stock boot.img OR patched_boot.img] before rebooting
If you have boot.img stored on the internal storage or SDcard of your phone, you can flash boot.img using TWRP
- Install >
- Install Image >
- Navigate to the location of the boot.img and select it >
- Select Boot partition >
- Swipe the arrow to confirm flash >
- Reboot system

of stock recovery

I applied a report on the auto twrp and auto philz porter v1.2, when i flashed the ported recovery and trying to enter into recovery mode the phone automatically reboots as normal,I used also the patched boot.img from magisk but it is the same. Why don't you add the fix for the above issue on the v1.3?

There could be a number of reasons why that happened.. Create a new thread so we focus on it
BTW, that you encounter the same issue with magisk means its not an issue with our tool

Ne yazık ki, dokunmadığım tablette çalışmayan başka bir servis çalışmalarını açmıyor, ancak açık olan Dukunmatik yardımınızı bekliyor değil
