This method worked on QMobile Z8 Stock ROM KitKat which comes with new phone. But I flashed Lollipop Factory Firmware v5.0.2 using QFIL. Now, this method of rooting no more works. We can't boot into custom recovery. Device is automatically rebooted and custom recovery is replaced by stock one or just a blank screen appeared whenever tried to boot into recovery. I have tried almost everything possible. After flashing twrp from fastboot, tried to boot into recovery instead of normal fastboot reboot. Also replaced stock recovery file with twrp recovery file in firmware before flashing with QFIL. Manually unlocked bootloader through fastboot. But all in vain! Neither device is rooted without permanently flashing custom recovery. Nor custom recovery is permanently flashed without rooting. Result is same in each case. Any advice?
Can this new factory firmware QMobileZ8_MP_5.0_QMB_PK_06 be converted to flashable zip ignoring recovery.img?
Or twrp version needs to be replaced?
Edit: KingRoot works on 5.0.2 but still no compatible custom recovery found.
