Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

ok, managed to boot the phone, but when got to home screen it says that my date is wrong....(1/1/2010).
auto-sync with network time....my date and time is back to normal...
shut down the phone (i didn't press the red button) and try to reboot into recovery (power+volumeup+volumedown)
............no twrp, i think (maybe stock recovery mode... some china word with android mascot as background...)
fortunately my phone was not bricked... but no twrp either.....so what is the problem..
thanks.

Hi All,
Really annoying self inflicted problem, changed the swipe code, forgot it, google account ADM wont reset phone, no sequence of button pressing gets phone into recovery mode, USB debugging appears to be off. How can I save my phone??!??!?!?!? What sequence should I follow, what ROM should I install, need a step by step if at all possible, complete newbie!!1? Thanks in advance.

ok you are most likely on 20160810 where recovery does not work.
you are most likely on windows 10 as well. first lets find a rom where recovery works.
We can use 20160810 rom and wipe userdata partition..
Here is the download link https://mega.nz/#!ys4DTIxa!8rrL0aktVQ8W7Q4Et8fvQ8jk2tAxLZvJOJH48S9Vkyk .
Once you have finished downloading you should then extract it to a folder.
Next we need to prepare your computer for the flashing process by installing the correct drivers.
look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042 scroll for your version of windows. follow the instructions and everything should work.
If you dont have add hardware option in windows then hit windows button and r and enter hdwwiz.exe.
now you have installed the drivers we need to download sp flash tools which is what we need to install the rom.
So go this website http://spflashtool.com/ now click on the first download link 'SPFlash Tool 5.1628' .
this will download a zip file. again extract it to a new folder. ok now you need to go in the flash tool and run flash_tool.exe by just clicking on it. now the software will load up.
You need to load the scatter file from the rom folder. The scatter file should be outside the encrypt folder and should be called MT6755_Android_scatter.txt . Now the rom should be loaded. You have some more options here, you can either untick all boxes and leave userdata (where your security and codes are stored) ticked or you can leave everything ticked which would flash the rom again. So once you have decided what option you have you need to turn your phone off. you then need to click download in flash tools and then connect your phone to the pc and hold the vol+ button. Then wait for it to flash, once the box with the tick opens you can close the program and restart your phone.
no recovery
there is no recovery in this build.........you have to flash one of your own.....
No recovery
Thank you, will start trying now and let you know.
Success!

Hi,
I have the same problem with my P9000 : Elephone_P9000_20160810, I even cannot install the last update 20170112 because the recovery mode is not working. but I use Linux mint on my laptop.
I already downloaded the Linux version of the flashing tool, give it a try but at the time of the flashing my laptop freeze. Scarred to death, I restarted my phone, no damage done, but now, after stay away from the idea the time to recover from my post traumatic syndrome disorder, I am ready to try again with the help of peoples knows what they are doing.
What are the points I have to be aware using Linux mint when I follow this tutorial.
Thanks for your time

As someone who has done this a few times - and forgotten this vital step almost every time, just a reminder that when using SPFlash Tool - after you set up the scatter file, you click on download so that it is trying to communicate with the phone before you even plug the cable into the phone, then with your phone turned off you hold Vol+ as you plug in the cable. It should send the file almost instantly.
Hi.
I wrote problems with my wife's P9000 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72990392&postcount=14
And yes: no solution works. And either there is no stock recovery or this device can't find them.
I offer 50 Euro for help. My goal: to install custom recovery (most TWRP), install custom ROM (some stable version of Marshmallow) and root it.
I tried about 6 hours and I have had enough.
Except that I will be appreciate.
German? English?
Vielleicht kann ich helfen
One of the official ota p9000 updates has a corrupt recovery. This is why you can't get into the recovery and why the official update fails all the time. (I think).
About the flashing part with sp flashtools. You need to install those mtk drivers with the driver signature turned off in Windows. Otherwise those drivers can not be installed on you pc and flashing your phone can't be done. Just search Google for how to disable driver signature for your Windows version.
About the part of making a scatter file. You do not need to make a scatter file. It is included in Roms that have a scatter file with them (the roms that are ment to be flashed with sp flashtools).
If you want to flash a custom recovery with sp flashtools. You load the scatter file of a stock ROM and make sure, in the download screen of sp flashtools, the location points to the custom recovery .img file. And make sure there is a check mark on the left of the row for the recovery. Otherwise sp flashtools will simply skip that part with flashing.
If you want to install a custom ROM without spflashtool. You need a custom recovery and flash it via the recovery.
I hope I helped you enough. Because this how it works for me every time on every mtk phone (that I owned). I do not want your €50

Hi, Just a couple of questions.
When did you get the P9000?
What version of Windows?
Things to download
I recommend you install the 20170112 (store on computer)here
Extract the RAR file, it is contained in a folder, no need to extract in a new folder.
Super SU root (store on phone, SD card preferred) here
And TWRP 3.0.2-8 from Jonny (store on computer)here
Go to Device Manager.
View - Show Hidden Devices
If you see MTK Preloader VCOM
or MTK USB Device, that's good. More MTK xxxxx the better.
Open SP Flash Tool
Load the scatter file from the load button. 3rd row down. Go to the Extracted RAR file and select MT6755_Scatter.txt.
Then press the recovery file location name (C: USER ........ recovery.img) and navigate to the
TWRP 3.0.2-8.img and select that.
Now Press the Download (green down arrow) button and then use the stock cable and connect to a USB 2.0 port, then while pressing the volume up button, on the P9000, connect the phone to the other end of the cable.
A Red bar down the bottom saying Download DA 100% should appear and then a yellow bar and some percentage, which will take 5 or so minutes to go all yellow then a big green tick on a pop up should appear and it's done!
Then go to recovery which is Volume Up and Power at the same time untill the ELE logo appears. When it appears release the buttons. Swipe the allow modifications and then press the install button, navigate to the SuperSu.zip by Select storage if you have an SD CARD, otherwise it will probably be in the Download folder. Swipe to install, wipe cache and dalvik, swipe and reboot system. Hope that works any questions just ask. Sincerely, X

Your instructions was very, very good but a little bit general for me. I lost myself in Your shortcuts (device on/off, connected/disconnected). But when I finished, I see You wrote everything.
So thank You very much. You helped me very much, You showed me the instruction I didn't find before.

You are the NINJA!
Thank You! Thanks to You I installed TWRP. Rest is easier.
You show me to install ANY MTK device and P9000 can be on. And You show me precisely that I should change the destination point for TWRP (so not default but the .img file).
And that was important for me. And thanks to You I did it.
Thank You.
Please write to me in private message Your account number or PayPal.
Thank You again.
