• 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.
