I don't have a solution for you, but I can tell you what I've tried (I have the K350N also) and what doesn't work, for me anyway, so that you don't have to waste a week trying them yourself and get extremely frustrated like I did.
You need a scatter file, so that tools for MTK chips can copy your phone's boot and recovery images. One for the MT6735 exists but is not for the K8 and won't work. Supposedly you can create your own by using block info given by MTK Droid Tools, and manually editing the scatter file, but even the latest version (2.5.3d) does not support the MT6735 and does not give the info needed.
SP Flash Tool needs correct address info (which is gotten from a scatter file), it doesn't seem to take it from your phone. Without it, you'd not be able to pull the correct parts which make up your boot.img and recovery.img, so it's useless without the exact scatter file for your phone (whether it's the same SoC or not).
If you can get Miracle Box to stay connected to your phone, you can try its "Read" function. That didn't work for me, even after dozens and dozens of tries and messing about with different drivers.
Your best bet is probably to try using ADB to get the block/address/size info of the internal partitions, and editing that into a scatter file. Also, apparently the K8 uses a "standard Android" header, not MTK header like older MediaTek chipsets do. (Not quite sure what it means, but knowing so will probably be useful).
That's what I plan to try anyways, and if I manage to do it, I'll post again.

Well i spend best part of this morning trying to a different aproach , i managed to find a ROM file (in kdz format, whitch woulve been useless for mtk tools anyway) whitch i extracted for a Recovery.img and tried to port the various recovieries with no awail for now. From what i've seen the filesystem inside the rom is a mess some of the files have the MTK headers others have the android ones and I'm trying to make this work entirely by trial and error.. If I'll manage to boot into the recovery I'll let you know. Wish me luck
Ok I managed to make a port from K10 that actually boots to recovery. I'll post updates as I work on it (all trial and error~)
Maybe you will get more luck than me. SuperSu fails to install somethign about failing to decompress ramdisk
Here is the Recovery : https://www.mediafire.com/?xopqenbvgrswgxm
I booted into it using fastboot boot xxx.img command from adb
As I am complete noob when it comes to android modding I'm surprised what I achieved thus far

i flash the image you give, and it cant mount system, so it cant flash supersu, the lg k10 have the same problem that this recovery (it might be for the port), so we have to wait a super su version for lg k10 and k8 and a functional TWRP

did u managed to unlock your bootloader? From the strategy of rooting HTC, LG also need a bootloader unlock before you having some privilege in flashing recovery... or rooting...

That was step 1 you have to go to fastboot form adb and unlock it from there
I've got the k8 us375 model today and its running 6.0 with an update waiting to install. I'm sure it won't matter much but I'm going to avoid updating anytime soon.
With little research into the device I'm reading people trying kingroot and getting stuck with a semi brick and error. From what I've read about marshmallow is the root needs to be accepted from the boot.img which also needs to be insecure.
So unlocking the bootloader is first.
Second is modifying the kernel and
Then recovery needs to be made so that superSu can be flashed.
I'm no expert but neither am i a newbie to this process, however I'm a little rusty. If anyone knows a better way to describe the processes needed please enlighten me. I'll be away from my PC till this weekend but have a laptop i can tinker with tonight. Until i completely understand what needs to be done I'll continue to do research. Thanks

I've been trying to root my k8 (k350n) - european version the last few weeks... so far i got:
(here i try to post a url i can't yet... you can find my topic on chinaphonearena - i describe everything there - search "lg k8 k350n twrp" on google - it will be the second result)
the twrp boots but i'm afraid it's not a perfect port so it migth not handling the partitions well... i mean when i try to install supersu i think it cannot find the boot.img (it seems to find but can't patch it).
The newest supersu supposed to patch the boot.img automatically so i believe the only thing we should manage to get a working twrp...
if you want to try i have to warn you that sometimes when i mess with the twrp i have to make a hard reset the get my phone working again. When you boot to the twrp it asks if you want to make your system writeable - you don't have to do that in order to install supersu - however if you allow twrp to make your system writeable you might lose data (i only lost data if i did a format in the twrp but only writeability doesnt clear data in my case...)
edit1:
so i found that supersu can only patch boot images compress by "gzip". The boot im. of our k8 is compress using "lz4" method. I also realized that my twrp works so far as the supersu tries to decompress the boot image... so
We either wait till supersu deals with lz4 or if we could somehow take (dump to pc) the boot image in fastboot "re"compress to gzip - flash back to the device - restart twrp (not boot to android yet - which obviously would not work), install supersu - restart to fastboot take the boot image "re"compress to lz4 and flash the patched boot.img back to the device.
well it's just an idea which actually stucks at dumping the image without root and who knows what other reasons...
or if we knew what tweaks needs to be done to the boot image and we could just make it on pc and flash it in fastboot (i have the stock boot image - i have the whole firmware actually)...
Any advice would be appriciated
Here we go guys...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/twrp-root-lg-k8-k350n-t3475807
I actually had to return it. It was brand new in the box but the imei was linked to a delinquent account and I couldnt activate it. I'm subscribed if anything.
I have an at&t variant HTC m8, I recently stitched to cricket wireless. SIM swap went fine. I've been wanting to gain root to remove att bloatware. I'm on android version 5.0.2. My main issue is I've gotten nowhere unlocking boot loader using a pc. Tonight I resorted to using kingroot from Google play,which worked on third attempt. However supersu said it needs an update.
So basically I'm lost and trying to find away to gain root without a computer if possible.
I've never used kingroot. What happens if you try to update the root binary?
May be a bit irrelevant. I think you'll need to unlock the bootloader to do what you want (delete bloatware). I don't think kingroot alone will get it done. Reason being, you can't modify the system partition with root alone. You need kernel mod wp_mod, which is flashed with custom recovery TWRP. And you need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom recovery.
What issues did you have exactly when trying to unlock the bootloader?
I believe my main issue was that my pc is out of date running an unauthorized widows 7 lol. I was unable to obtain adb or any twrp files to unlock boot loader hence my attempt at a one click type solution. I think I'm going to read up more and try the whole process over this weekend, but any tips guides or instructions would be helpful. The more I have looked into this the more conflicted things have become.

Not sure what "unable to obtain adb" means if you don't explain what happens exactly, where you are trying to get the files, etc. So all I can do is assume, and hope that I don't suggest you do things you already tried.
If you want an adb/fastboot installer, the following should work, and decently up to date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Otherwise, there are other adb installers if you just type "easy adb" into the XDA search function.
No such thing as TWRP files that can help you unlock the bootloader. By definition, you can't install custom recovery until the bootloader is unlocked, and TWRP is a custom recovery. So nothing can be done with or by any TWRP files until you unlock the bootloader.

Again, can't really help with what is "conflicted" unless you give some specific details.
Its understandable that a lot of the threads may be confusing, as the info is often outdated. This is getting to be an old device, and a lot of folks that wrote the various guides have moved on, and not updating the guides.
The following is a pretty good AT&T specific guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796
But as mentioned, some things are outdated:
1) The driver package is old. You can get updated drivers by downloading HTC Sync from the HTC website. After installing (which will also install HTC drivers) you can uninstall Sync, but keep the drivers; if you don't want Sync (but I haven't had any problems keeping it).
2) I believe the Dropbox link for adb installer is dead, but I already gave an alternative above.
3) The TWRP version is really old, don't use it! Get TWRP 3.0.2 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
The exception might be in the stock Android version on your phone is old, but if you tell me what it says for OS number on the bootloader screen, I can advise more specifically.
4) TWRP version is old, again, don't use it! v2.76 is the latest "stable" version, and you can get it here: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
Everything else in the guide should still apply.
Vomer's guide is also a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
Again, the TWRP version is out of date (use the current one linked above).
You only need to do Sections 0 and 1, as the remainder of the guide (S-off, SuperCID) doesn't apply for what you are doing (unlock bootloader, custom recovery, and root).
Also, highly recommended to make a TWRP backup of the stock ROM, before you root.
After root, flash wp_mod with TWRP to enable system partition changes to stick (and deleting bloatware is a system change). What wp_mod depends on your Android version. But for Marshallow, the wp_mod can be found here (you just need the zip wp_mod, not the whole ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-stock-unlocked-developer-sense-7-t3262894
Thanks for the help I'll give it another try, honestly have no real need to mess with device. I know the phone is old but I still have it and it works better than others I've had.

Of course, the vast majority of us don't have any real need to mess with the device. But we do, nonetheless!
First off I noticed on XDA unless someone has a decent link other than rooting this device. There is hardly any love at all for this tablet and a great tablet at that.
I'm making this thread A. To help others in this situation and B. To gather as much information as we can on this device.
Currently my issue is I'm trying to hunt down the Raw Image File for this device, if anyone has it or knows where it is please post it!
The Oldest firmware I have is this UL-P01M-WW-3.3.8.0-user.zip to UL-P01M-WW-5.4.3.0-user.zip
I'm trying to flash this system back since ABD will not work or recognize this device nor will Fastboot works since bootloader is practically locked.
I'm trying to use the ASUS Recovery Flash Tool but need the raw.zip file for this device. Any information anyone has on this product lets all post it here!
For debricking please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bricked-asus-zenpad-s-8-0-z580ca-please-t3461656
it has the link to "Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.6.1.raw". Just zip it and select that this with your "Asus Recovery Flash Tool"
Works great and debricked my brick
Lol. i was about to post you the post you made on this - which i followed to unbrick - thanks, BTW, both.
So... has anyone worked on rooting Z580c running on android 6? I'm fine with what i have, unrooted and running on 6 without much of a fuss, but i would love to be able to use AdAway once again (when i had rooted running android 5). If you know any proven methods let me know - thanks.

hi, may i know if you have Z58CA version of asus zenpad s8? I upgrade my device and have WW_PO1M-V5.6 firmware stock from their official site. I wanted to root this tablet cause my screen got broken at its still functional with ADB and OTG when paired with adapters supplying the power.
Im new to rooting this tablet and havent tried TWRP or CWM and i cant find a specific one for this device to unlock its bootloader. Also to mention if its succeful will it get locked again without problems?
So I recently bought myself a Nextbook Ares 11A (you can get look at it here: http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.php?product_id=33
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to root it at all. Anyone have an idea how to root it. I have tried King and Kingo root, both PC versions. Vroot/iroot, framaroot apk, and some others that i kinda forgot.
One of the first things I did to this tablet was upgrading its android version to 6.0.1
I think one of the main exploits to use for this would be the firmware update
-quick note. If your having problems with this tablet rebooting by itself re download the android 6.0.1 firmware update and install it again.
Firmware update download: https://goo.gl/Cev80L
Same here. Can't root it. Awesome tablet for the price just $197 for a 11 inch tablet running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Here are my specs. Hope e can find a root soon. Boring without root access. No cool apps without have root.
Netbook Ares 11A
Model# NX1611264

Security patch level 2015-11-01

nextbook ares 11 a
After installing the correct adb/fastboot drivers along with the intel chip usb drivers, i was able to unlock/flash boot.img and bootloader. All i need now is a working twrp_recovery image to finish rooting this tablet and remove encryption. If anyone has a working twrp recovery or knows how to make one based off the rom, then please post it. I would love to have this tablet rooted and non encrypted.

i have the same tablet is there anyway you could send a copy of firmware or the stock recovery @mrspinler
look-up vampiro's work on the ares 8, he has made a twrp that will work, with a mouse connected to the ares 11, the are a few modified roms for the ares 8, including a remix os, that works great, except for touchscreen doesn't work, but touchpad, and attaching a mouse works great

tim i am sorry but i am unable to give a stock recovery seeing as i tried to flash other recovery images. however i would be glad t post the update file but i can't post links yet. The update file is in the very first post, and you have to unzip it onto the sd card to get the tablet to notice it.
If you are familiar with rooting android then perhaps you could provide the stock recovery image so that someone with more programming knowledge can actually make a cwm or twrp recovery from it. The boot.img file is correct as well, which happens to be inside the update file. I know this because i almost bricked my tablet XD.

Have you been able to root this tablet with the ares 8 files? If so then how did you get the recovery.img to work and what about the encryption files? I ask because the ares 8 has the same cpu but it is android 6.0.1 rom versus android 5.0/5.1.

heres the deal i downloaded the update on the first page and always got stuck at like 35 percent tried to flash the recovery from the 11rootkit it didnt work tried from the ares 8 and just get an error screen ive got the tablet unlocked fully and can flash anything in fastboot but no file at all with bring it back ive tried the firmware files and there not in the right format for fastboot the tablet is bricked but can still get into fastboot but no working recovery

I'm very interested in this endeavor. I have a Ares 11A as well but I'm in desperate need of a stock ROM as mine got trashed by the Marshmallow update. As a result I had to install Win 10 on the device temporarily, but i would like to get it back to the original stock ROM and try again. If that fails, then I'm going to have to build an entirely new ROM (never done this before) based on Android-x86 Marshmallow.
What's really sad is that support for this device is sorely lacking from the vendor(Efun/Yifang). They don't even post a stock ROM on their website (nextbookusa.com) for this device. However, this device is similar to some of the Chinese tablets posted on techtablets.com so I MAY be able to find a stock ROM / drivers there.

Basically, I deleted the Android partitions and reallocated the space a a Windows partition. I got into the device UEFI boot manager by pressing the power + Vol down buttons, then releasing the power button when the Nextbook logo appears, then release the Vol down button. It's a little tricky to get into it but it can be done. Before you attempt to do so you have to get the device into fastboot mode (power+vol up buttons) and unlock the bootloader first. Be advised though that finding Windows 10 drivers will be VERY difficult! It's not for the faint of heart! I went to the techtablets.com website to find the drivers as they specialize in supporting Chinese-made tablets.
As I've stated earlier this is a temp solution. When all is said and done, this will become a dual-boot or multi-boot tablet
this is the only thing i can find but cant get it right http://www.nextbookusa.com/_gendownloads/NX16A11264/update.zip
Looking to start a discussion on rooting the unlocked version.
I have tried the root for other variants for this phone and does not work
hi would love to see my k8+ rooted. i have the lmx210ulma version mtk and android 7.1.2.
There are recoveries for this phone and i have a full partition dump i nade today using salt on my ubuntu 18.04 machine. when i say full i mean something like 30-50 .img files pulled.
Any way. The problem on my end is booting into fastboot mode or rebooting to the bootloader. i have tried ADB, recovery and key combinations with out ever getting there. I can however get the phone to download into recovery download mode just fine.
any help would be appreciated

Any way. The problem on my end is booting into fastboot mode or rebooting to the bootloader. i have tried ADB, recovery and key combinations with out ever getting there. I can however get the phone to download into recovery download mode just fine.
any help would be appreciated

We are now in this forum. Why some dork mod moves these too early?
Why here, why not to the K8 forums instead?
The link I posted should work with your device...
Just got told to go to the k8 forums because im really just trying to get the bootloader unlocked. Temp root is nice but my plans involve a recovery and a fully rooted phone. Im trhing to develop a way to compile apps and operating systems completely on the device but i need full access.
Im looking for firmware for LG K8 2018 X210ULMG. Where can i find it ?
go to google and type in "LG K8 + LMX210ULM stock rom" you will get at least five pages or more.

I can't fin anywhere for X210ULMG. Try and when you will find paste here link because anywhere is this rom.
which android version do y0u have 9n your k8. I also need you to go to settings system software info and tell me the software versiion. And just for SandG no seriously, open up a terminal in terminal emulator and type getprop. im looking fir the value of
ro.lge.swversion_arb
to be of further assistance may i ask what exactly you are using it for? ie reflash stock fix brick or other. i can help you with the best plan of action and any other how to.
If you are still out there the ULMG and ULM are the same device. There is no ULMG stock rom. So you will need to flash your K8+ using the ULM firmware. If you are looking to roll back to get to the bootloader the lowest version you can find is a letter F version. None so far have an ARB value so happy flashing.
I myself own this device and its an easily rootable phone with bootloader unlock. Just flash the kdz with the lowest letter value then adb reboot bootloader and then in fastboot mode use fastboot oem unlock and your free to flash any cv1 device twrp recovery.img to the phone.
Just make sure to use either carliv image kitchen or android image studio to check and make sure that system, syatem.img, are both ext4 in recovery.fstab. System.img will probably be labled emmc which will cause failure to mount. Also cache and data as well. Firmware/modem should be labled as vfat. Just as if they were labled if you looked at original fstab.
To root just extract boot.img from kdz and patch using magisk and flash using fastboot flash boot boit.img then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img When booting into twrp first time flash no verity opt encrypt and make backup. Upon exiting make sure all parts are mounted or twrp loop will occur.

I have problem because one month ago I flashed My K8 ULMG with kdz for Aristo 2 . I downloaded the software from Aristo 2 and made Brick through it.
Now it doesn't turn on, gives no sign of life, nothing. When connected to a laptop, the computer can only see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Do you know solution for it ?
There are two versions of the k8+ a qualcomm version and an mtk version. Did you read my post after your last reply. I was trying to help you determine that sort 0f thing.
As for a fix.... no as of currently there is no fix for either the qc or mtk versions once bricked. i am working on possible solutions but those are not going to be any time soon.
Your best bet at this point is to look for a used and damaged phone and replace the board in your phone with a different board. Find a k8+ lm-x210ulm or an aristo 2 board. They are cheap around $20 us and can be found with broken screens. They have no arb values so can be flashed and downgraded to get the boot loader unlocked and reflashed and upgraded after with guidance.
Dont feel to bad it happens. I have 4 boards that are trash but im still gonna try to unbrick them. But please what ever you do dont do it with out guidance. pm if you need and ill help.
