I have an OPPO a5s smartphone. Its uses Mediatek Helio P35 and I want to upgrade the system because it seems like OPPO has no plan of providing us with it. The phone is also unrootable because they removed the fastboot binaries and they won't allow you to unlock the bootloader. Luckily, a temporary root works on the phone because it has a mediatek processor but given that it is temporary, I can't make changes to the system. I downloaded partitions backup app from the Play Store and backed up its recovery using temp root then ported TWRP to it and reflash it through the same app but it seems that OPPO won't let you boot to it either. So I thought that maybe I can flash a GSI through the Partitions Backup App, given I still have the temp root, and I can restore it. The problem is I don'f know if it is going to work. Will it work?? Please if someone can help me, your help will be very much appreciated. Thank You.
Hello and you can not share tvrp?

Hello
First when you are making any changes to the boot partition (recovery) you should unlock bootloader if you do so it will not let device to boot if you unlock bootloader let me know I will make twrp image for this phone
You all don't read do you. This device CAN'T have it's bootloader unlocked and fastboot mode has been blocked. Unfortunately there won't be a way to root this device without an exploit

Hi! I have the Huawei Ascend G7 and unlocked the bootloader. Then I tried to get root with iRoot and it worked but I don't like the Kinguser App and would like to replace it with SuperSU. That did not work. I read something about Cyanogenmod and custom recovery stuff but don't know where to start and what will fit for my G7. I just want that SuperSU works. Any help? Can someone please give me a step-2-step tut? Do I need to place those images of recovery (don't know which fits with my phone) in internal drive of my phone? For example here it is described something with SuperSU(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57896700&postcount=17) but the sentence "After extract Find the way how to use the fast boot you can flash cuatom recovery and then after root flash the stock recovery" is kind of confusing. I only manage to reboot the phone with those commands via CMD.
Hope someone can help! Thank you!!!

just install twrp then install supersu v.2.71 binary update from TWRP. if u dont want a permanent TWRP recovery, extract the recovery.img then execute command "fastboot boot recovery.img" (assuming you already have the driver and fastboot.exe), and install the supersu binary update like usual. google it. or just port A6000+ recovery
I think you have to unlock the bootloader first. I have tried this option a few times and whilst it says it writes the recover.img, it boots just the same.
Hello!
I'm looking for a way to root my Lenovo A6010.How do I make a full backup of its ROM before I make any changes (like rooting or tampering with the boot loader)?
I could not find a TWRP for Lenovo A6010 on their official page.Can you please explain in more detail what modifications I have to make to obtain root privileges?I found 2 threads where the owners complained about bricking their phones with KingRoot.I need root to uninstall all the bloatware and to remove write restrictions from my SD card.Thanks in advance.
Later edit: I found a procedure for A6000 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/root-root-lenovo-a6000-plus-lollipop-t3199532 that worked for me, I had to change the TWRP img from the package provided there with the one for A6010, you can find it on the 4th page of the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65346556&postcount=33 .
The good thing is that by following the A6000 tutorial TWRP will behave like a Linux Live CD, and the only modification to the phone's OS will be the installation of SuperSU.No changes to the bootloader or recovery partition.
I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it.
It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.)
The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev here wrote that temporarily ran CW via fast boot.
I would like to root my R1. I hear now that Magisk is the way to go. (Instead of SU.)
Most every Guide says that I have to have TWRP installed before installing Magisk. But there's no TWRP for the R1. And I am incapable of compiling my own.
I learned, from Nuu Tech Support, that I can get into the phone's Recovery mode with some hidden button pushes. Here's a screen shot:
My first question is, could I simply install Magisk by selecting "Update from SD card"?
If it's not that easy, then, second: I can also get to a fastboot screen. (Not shown here.) Could I install Magisk from ADB on my computer?
I suppose a third question: Is there a version of TWRP that's compatible with this phone? And if so, how do I find it? It would be nice to have a Nandroid backup.
I am willing to show various screens that come up from various button pushes if that would help a dev here.
More data for TWRP'ing
So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support.
In the meantime, I found that the bootloader can be unlocked (or allowed to be unlocked) via a setting under Developer Options.
I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1.
It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB.
I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting the R1's Recovery Partition.
Anyone know of a TWRP model version that's close enough to work on the R1? (I presume a TWRP for another MediaTek device might work?)
I would hate to try KingRoot to get root.
I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has.
So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.)
I already had ADB installed and could talk to my R1 via ADB.
But once the R1 had booted into fastboot mode via ADB, I got a message from fastbood devices that it was "waiting."
I learned that that message means that I didn't have drivers for fastboot.
I ended up installing a fresh version of Win8.1 and using the Windows' updater to find the needed drivers. I had to have the R1 plugged in to the USB in fastboot mode for this to work. After that, I could talk to the device via the fastboot command.
So I unlocked the boot loader (which wiped my data - not every Guide warns you about that) and I did "fastboot boot recovery.img."
I got the message that the recovery file had transferred. After abotu 15 seconds, the phone rebooted. But no TWRP.
Rats.
I didn't want to try the fastboot flash command in case this unoffiical twrp from an unofficial site bricked my phone. If I understand things correctly, booting in fastboot to the recovery.img should give me a temporary instance of TWRP.
Presumably, after copying Magisk into memory, I would be able to get root that way.

Whoa you have been busy you must've heard XDA helps those who help themselves.. :highfive:
I just dropped by to say, 1st rule of modding is taking a pristine stock backup..
For MTK devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tools, a quick search will help you take a full backup using this tool.
Afterward, you can even try using SP Flash Tools to flash a Magisk patched boot image to your device for ROOT!
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File.
Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash Tools, I'll start playing with it.
Root nuu r1
Did u ever manage to figure out how to do this & get TWRP to install? :fingers-crossed:
No, I haven't had time to play with rooting lately. I still would like to root it tho.
Anyone know how to root the nuu phones?

do you have stock rom?
Hi there,
I have recently installed a Magisk Module on my successfully rooted phone that so far didn't display any problems until I enabled said module (this one: Pix3lify, sorry can't post links)
Now it's stuck in a bootloop and I dont know how to recover my data from this position. I do know how to reinstall the stock rom and re-root just fine, I dont need help with recovery. What I do really wish is to backup some files from the user data partition.
I don't know how to do this as I never been in this position and before I spend all day trying to recover it I was wondering if you guys maybe know a way to do it, if possible at all.
I have access to:
- Fastboot
- Recovery (the BlackView Recovery ROM, no TWRP, couldn't find an image that runs. However, I do have access to `fastboot boot` to flash any image)
- SP Flash tools
As is expected, the device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I just want my data if it's possible. If not, I'll just recover using the method that will remove all data, sadly...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I decided to swallow my loss and install the stock rom since nobody replied yet, however, I did make a full backup of my ROM (especially userdata) and I now can see the filesystem inside WWR_MTK, but I can't read /data because it's encrypted (but I know the password) my new question therefore is if i can open up this image still. Thanks in advance!
I have a Alcatel U3 4055T phone (same as TCL 4055T) and I have tried all the simple methods (PC/APK …Kingroot, kingoroot etc) of rooting it with NO SUCCESS. It has Android 6.0, Baseband MT6737M, 3G/LTE. Now I have thought of trying rooting it manually, I have read online and figured out that I might need do as follows:
(1( UNLOCK the boot-loader
(2) FLASH a custom Recovery (TWRP)
(3) EXTRACT Boot image from the phone
(4) PATCH the image in (3) with Magisk
(5) FLASH the patched image back to the phone
I have just successfully unlocked the boot-loader BUT I can find any version of TWRP or any other custom recovery to FLASH into my phone. I have tried all suitable TWRP(s) that I could find online with no success.
PLEASE help me out in rooting my phone … any help from the members and admins will be highly appreciated.
This is to inform that I have successfully rooted this phone using Magisk and now I can enjoy all those apps which require root. I wish to thank the makers of Magisk ... this was simple and straightforward . BUT I I still have stock recovery.
Hello friend can you share the details, I just installed Magisk but cant find any option to root.

Well … the method I had used only applies to devices with MTK chips. The Best part is that the device only gets rooted after boot && running a script. Means if you wish to keep it un-rooted (for some reasons) you can also do that. The package contains 2 apks and one of them is “magisk” … and other is “mtk-easy-su” install both , you only have to run the later and it will execute magnisk. You can also tic the box for automatically root at boot. Here is the package: https://offlinemodapk.com/mediatek-easy-root-apk/#more-3134
To run those kinds of application, you need the Magisk Manager app if you have a rooted device. By enabling the magisk hide on the app, you would able to run whatever application you need, which cannot work on rooted devices. Becric
