    Hello ,I followed your manual ,and it showed me how to unlock the boot loader and install TWRP.
    But I have a problem now my Leagoo Power 2 Pro my phone boots up into android 8.1.0. But when I turn it on it says
    Orange State Has Been unlocked your device and can not be trusted, your device will boot in 5 seconds.

    I assume that the booting does not go ahead because of the DM verity check.

    If you can boot into recovery, you can flash the DM verity check disabler from the TWRP recovery.

    See, if the phone boots after flashing the above file?
