Ok I am posting a simple tutorial to Root your Canvas HD and flash Custom Recovery without using SP Flash Tool. Sometimes it is very difficult for newbies to get proper driver and correct version of SP flash tool. Some users scared to use SP Flash Tool. So here is the solution.
Requirements:
1. Canvas HD of course
2. Framaroot application
3. Root Checker to check if your device is Rooted or not.
4. CWM v6.0.3.3 OR CWM v6.0.3.0 OR TWRP v2.5.0.0 or TWRP v2.6.3.0 or CWM v6.0.4.0 (Touch Based) or CWM v6.0.4.0
5. MobileUncle MTK Tools v2.9.8
Procedure:
1. Download the Framaroot application form the above link and transfer it to SD card
2. Now go to Settings>Security and put check mark on Unknown Soruces
3. Now use file manager and browse to the location where you have placed Framaroot Application
4. Install it and open it. Now Select "Install SuperSU" and hit Boromir.
5. Now go to Play Store and search for Super User and install it after opening it might ask to update SU.bin, hit yes and then "Normal"
6. Reboot your Device.
7. Check with Root Checker, if your device is rooted or not.
8. If it is rooted, download MobileUncle and install it, remember it require root access to work properly.
9. Now download any custom Recovery i.e. CWM or TWRP from the above link and rename it to recovery.img and place it in the root of SD card.
10. Now open MobileUncle and tap on Update Recovery it will automatically search the img file, you just have to select and confirm it. Then it will ask to boot your device into custom recovery tap on yes.
11. Your device would be booted into custom recovery.
Congrats your device is now rooted and flashed with Custom Recovery, now you can flash any custom ROM and now you have full control over your device.
How to Full Unroot and flash stock Recovery:
1. Download this stock Recovery file.
2. Rename the file to Recovery.img and place it in the root of SD Card.
3. Now open MobileUncle and tap on Recovery Update, it will search the file by itself, you just have to select the file and confirm.
4. It will then ask whether you want to boot into recovery, if you want to confirm you can tap on yes otherwise its not required.
5. Now open SuperSU and go to settings, scroll down to Full Unroot and tap on it. The process would be finished within 1 or 2 secs now you are on Stock v4.2.1 that too unrooted.
Now your warranty is intact you can go to service center for any help from them

What kind of changes are you talking about? If you are talking about the changes which you have made through Gravity Box and other modules of Xposed framework then you should just uninstall the Xposed Framework.

I would suggest you to go to Service centre only.
I was just been going through different forum threads and found that most people find it difficult to root there device,
So I decided to write a easy tutorial to do that(not ment for Android 5.0 Lolipop, yet)
things you should know before following this:
a. it MIGHT(not necessarily)trigger KNOX(on samsung some devices)
b. you need unlocked bootloader in case you have a sony device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
these are the steps you need to follow to root your device, it is a general method and SHOULD work on almost all devices(might not work for few):
1. First of all you are supposed to know what device you are using, and if you know what device you are using, you are ready to proceed
2. Next thing you would need to find is the process needed to flash image/md5 to the device you want to root(might trigger KNOX)(unlocked bootloader needed)
3. So if you don't know how to flash image/md5 to your device, just search here, on XDA for how to install cwm recovery(for example) on *your device*(might trigger KNOX, google it to know if your device have it or not, will void your warranty)(unlocked bootloader needed)
4. Cwm recovery is a custom recovery(few more are there too) for almost every device (you can make one if its not available yet, just search XDA)(if not, this is probably not a process you can follow, find some other)
5. When you have successfully installed the cwm recovery to your device, then you would need to know how to enter recovery mode on your device, generally, holding power+volume up keys for few seconds when the device is off will get you to recovery mode, and on Samsung devices, it's power+home+volume up keys that are supposed to be kept pressed to get to recovery mode, and if any of these don't works, just google "how to enter recovery mode on *your device*"
6. Now you need to download a supersu update zip from: HERE.
7. Place it anywhere on your phone and now turn off your device and boot to recovery mode (by process explained above)
8(a). When you enter recovery (any custom recovery you can find), there's an option to install zip from SD card (external or internal)
8(b). Select it and find out the supersu zip you downloaded above and then select it and confirm to install it
When it's done(installing that zip), you are done, you had rooted your device successfully and now you can enjoy the root access!
Just reboot your device normally and you can find SuperSU icon in the app drawer(if you don't, just install it from play store), open it and it will simply open with an option to follow them
If for some reason, supersu says super user binary is not installed and supersu can't install it, then it's not rooted, and you can retry the process of installing supersu update zip by booting to recovery and installing it from there (explained above)
It is not supposed to happen (the problem stated above) as you are not doing any wrong thing during the process (if you followed my steps)
So, that's it if you have any problem during doing this, just reply and I will try to solve it for you
tell me if it didnt worked for you, i will make a list of devices that are not able to be rooted by this( i guess there wont be any.)
Hit thanks of I helped you

Ok I did this and it triggered KNOX... I let SU try and Disable it, but it's been trying for over 30min.
Edit: Re-booted and let SU try again. It disabled KNOX it said.
Many devices are not able to root via this method, especially those with locked bootloaders. There is no generic root all method as there are too many variations on software, hardware, and everything in between.

Hi,
I do not have permission for posting a new thread on XZDualRecovery Q&A so I have to post in here. I have updated to .314 firmware and when I tried to install locked dual recovery (.150 &.151 versions), it got some errors and did not reboot and the green led did not occur. I selected option 1 for superSu and tried version 1.94,2.00 & 2.01 but did not reboot either.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Florence

Salut,
try to re-root your phone with xperia tools... or, with, try to reflash the 314 firmware ftf with flashtool and re-root
I think you did not root the device, before you tried installing dual recovery. What you need to do now is to root the phone (use this tool) and then try to install dual recovery again (select option 1).
Thank you for replying.
I have re-rooted my phone and still the same problem. I found a strange thing. When I exacted the dual recovery, it did not let me to choose an option and there's nothing in the step 3. see the first picture.
When I just double click the install.bat without exacting, I can choose an option but it cannot find the path so I think why it keeps saying "no such file". see the second picture.
Thanks

First connect your phone to the pc and open miflash tool u will see some random words. Then turn off your phone and after it turns off wait for 5sec and press all the three buttons and you will the notification light is turned off. Now on you pc you will see that in the notifications panel that qualcomm drivers are being installed. Now open windows and search device mangers and scroll down to other devices you will see Qualcomm drivers.. And now right click it on it and select update and choose the file which i have provided above(after extracting it).
And your drivers are updated and now you will see that Com10 or Com20 will be Showing. Select the flash folder( A57 twrp 3.11) and click on flash. And follow the procedures as described above!!

First of all you can use the method above and again get access to your recovery or option 2 is that download the stockfirmare for oppo a57 and using Xiaomi flash tool. Install stock rom and the last but easiest option is to google search how to fix hard bricked oppo a57 and flash the firmware. Will provide link and descriptions later !!!!!!

No need for firmware your phone isn't bricked!!!
Last updated May 2020
Keeping it short. This is a simple way to root your device. You will need a computer and a data cable for this.
Objectives :
Have root using Magisk
Be able to install OTA from the settings without bootloops
Avoid boot loop
Very important :
This will work with ANY Xiaomi phone, and should work with ANY ANDROID phone as well. The difference between phones would be in where you can get your boot image from.
Your phone has to have an unlocked bootloader
Your phone has to have stock recovery. TWRP WILL cause bootloop for root and/or OTA updates from system.
I like to have root with magisk and don't want to install TWRP because I want to be able to install OTA from system without boot loops. This guide will help you achieve this with ease.
Steps:
Download the ROM full zip file. This could be the ROM ALREADY installed on your phone or you are updating your phone to it. Here is a video of one way to get your ROM file.
https://youtu.be/KsxHial1v1U
Open the file and extract "boot.img" on your phone or Computer.
Move the boot.img file to your phone
Download and install the latest Magisk official manager app from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.4.0/MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk
Open Magisk manager and click install then "select and patch a file" like in this video
https://youtu.be/USHcCMYlexM
Copy the Patched image from the download folder to your computer adb/fastboot folder
Reboot your phone into fastboot (press and hold power and vol down) and connect it to the computer
Flash that patches image file using fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open Magisk manager and complete the installation if needed. The app will prompt you for action.
Enjoy
Update May 2020
Hello again,
Sorry for being away for so long. Here are some of the things I have noticed people are confused with and need to make them clear:
This method works for ANY Android phone. As long as you have the Correct boot.img and can unlock the bootloader
MAKE SURE 100% you have the correct boot.img file for your CURRENT ROM
MAKE 100% SURE, the boot.img file you get from the FULL ROM zip file, not an OTA update zip file
Make sure you check the date and time of the "magisk_patched.img" file to make sure that is the one you made
Make sure you use the LATEST magisk manager
Make sure you open magisk after flashing the magisk_patched.img as boot image. Magisk manager will tell you if there is another step needed, just click yes and it will be done in seconds
Make sure to enable "Hide Magisk" to allow you to have your BANK apps working as well as security checks
If any app you use gives you an error "YOU ARE Rooted bla bla bla" Use magisk manager to hide the root for this specific app (in the settings)
That's all I can remember, good luck

I know that when I unlock the bootloader,the phone is going to reset...but,is it going to happen immediately or after that 168 hours of waiting?

People report different amounts of wait time, depends on the mi account I think

Phone is reset when the bootloader is unlocked, not before/during the waiting time.
Can do with locked bootloader?

No, bootloader has to be unlocked.
@Kiwironic followed your guide and worked very well, although I had to wipe data through the stock recovery to get the phone to boot, I believe that's just how newer Xiaomi phones work. I do have one question though, now that I'm rooted with stock recovery, would I be able to install OTA updates? I'm assuming I would of course lose root and have to redo the process from scratch if that's the case.

I had root on MIUI10 and updated the ROM to MIUI11 then did my root again the way mentioned and did NOT have to wipe. You can get OTA anyway, it will try the update first, it will fail, then it download and install a full ROM zip automatically. You have to wait for it to do that twice, that's all. The first boot after the update takes some time.
@Kiwironic First, thank you so your simple guide!
Can this cause bootloop on my device? If yes, can I simply flash the original boot.img to boot without any data loss?
Also another question: my device is rootless and bootloader unlocked, so my Google Pay doesn't work. When installing Magisk it goes back to work immediately or I have to do something to work?

If you flash the full rom, chances of bootloop is minimal. And should have stock experience except for being unlocked.
I got bootloop, using indian global V11.0.2.0.
After flashing patched boot, it gets bootloop recovery, only way is to wipe all data and reboot
After booting up and opeing magisk it shows a recommendation to install some ZIP
Accepting the recommendation results in bootloop,
Rejecting the recommendation and trying to Install > Direct Install results in bootloop as well

I got the exact same issue, every time it asked me to install additional zip files it went into recovery immediately after booting up.
Anyone know why this happened?

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP? Which version of Magisk are you using?
I have patched my boot stock image, installed full ROM, then flashed the patched boot image. Magisk did not show any recommendation installation.
There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

TWRP 3.3.1-8, magisk 20.1
Patching boot image with magisk wasn't a problem. The Superuser itself works normally, module doesn't. The magisk manager suggested to download additional files for the magisk to be working properly.
I'm on MIUI 11.0.1 Global
Was TWRP the cause in the fist place?

On first installation MM asks to download what it needs e.g. to verify SafetyNet. Allow and there is no problem about. TWRP is generally not needed to install Magisk. Things are documented in Magisk guides

Yes, as the title suggests "without TWRP". The reason is, you cannot install OTA and magisk easily without using the stock recovery. Any attempt to update OTA or use any recovery script on the phone will result in a boot loop.
The solution to get out of the boot loop is simple. Actually a couple of solutions.
One, flash your stock recovery, or
Two, flash a full ROM that includes the stock recovery.
No need to wipe data
That's the only reason I made this post and the other about OTA on root. I don't like to use TWRP because I want OTA install without boot loop. At the same time I want root. Hence the solutions I provided

I've tried flashing magisk via recovery and didn't work, the same bootloop. Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-miui-11-v11-0-1-0-pfjmixm-rooted-t3997299
I thought this might be a working alternative.
Gotta try installing magisk with stock recovery then, and if it still didn't work, well, more research for me..

You have to understand the requirements :
- stock recovery
- install magisk manager app
- patch the boot image for your stock ROM (same version on your phone)
- flash that Patched boot image.
- reboot
- done, that's magisk installed
