Hello everyone! This is my first post, I'm very very new here If I somehow missed a rule or two and shouldn't have posted here or etc DO TELL ME, Im open to anything and I appreciate it! To the point, I won't stretch the topic, I'll tell you how I rooted my Gionee x1 device, and the problems I faced and their solutions. You may ask yourselves or just come reply here, Who even owns that device, Well I own one and I wasn't able to root this device it was hard, so for the other mates out their having bought this piece of brick.
and, there's a reason to why Im writing this topic, do read to the end.
So, to start I first of all researched alot both on google and xda forums for any way of doing it, most of which either didn't work or were not supporting my device(f.e. One Click Root Methods didn't work at all).
1. This post has a reply by ZedLens, which is awesome but to my surprise it didn't work for me.
2. This post BusinessKid is a great tutorial for any MTK Device, but the 3rd step of "The Download Stuff:" I couldn't find the scatter for my device.
3. I've a strict download limit for my internet, so I couldn't download the Stock ROM, so I somehow had to extract it from my device, which I failed why? MTK Droid Tool wasn't able to recognize my device. I diagnosed for all possible reasons for this, bad USB check, bad device port check, wrong process check nothing worked, so at the end of the day I somehow managed to download the Stock ROM of Gionee X1 and EVERYONE HAS TO DO IT IN THE END, you'll really need it anyhow.
Now the rooting process,
Tools/Stuff I used:
1. SP Flash Tool(This thing here, is like your hand during examination)
2. MTK Drivers(Important)
3. Stock Gionee X1 ROM
4. Magisk Manager App
I'll attach the Magisk Patched boot.img here along with the scatter so that you can directly flash the boot img instead of wasting time to download the stock rom and etc etc. also you can reply down here if you need any other file, I'll send it to you somehow :3
NOTE: All the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/sucess/etc to your device.
Steps to install:
1. Get Stock boot img
2. Install Magisk Manager (DON'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE use TopJohnWu's Github)
3. Somehow get the Stock boot img into your Internal Storage or anywhere, where Magisk Manager can find and Patch it, Use adb push, connect usb and copy it to the Internal Storage, ANYHOW.
4. After copying, Open Magisk Manager, you'll find two things on the main screen, one is Magisk which has status infos such as (Installed: ), (SAR: ), (A/B: ) and (RAMDISK: ). Within the same square which contains those status info you'll find a Install click on it.
4.1. After clicking on install you'll get a new menu, select next in the Options Square ignoring the choices there(Preserve AVB 2.0 blah blah) and click Next. Now you'll be in the Methods Square here, you select "Select and Patch a File", now locate to the Image and after successfully locating and selecting it click on Let's Go on the right cornor.
4.2. If your image is patched successfully your log in front of you will look something like this:
- Device platform: armeabi-v7a
- Installing: 23.0 (23000)
- Copying image to cache
- Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0
- Unpacking boot image
- Checking ramdisk status
- Stock boot image detected
- Patching ramdisk
- Repacking boot image
- Signing boot image with verity keys

- All done!

Click to collapse
4.3. You have your patched boot image!!
5. Now get the patched image back to your pc -.-
6. Prepare yourself to focus, Im not responsible for your bricked device!
7. Goto This XDA Post for Tutorial and Information about SP Flash Tool, MTK Drivers ADB Drivers, etc etc.
8. Download and Install MTK Drivers(Link Credit: Bovirus' this post)
1. You'll find a exe, just execute it and it'll be installed automatically.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. Download and open SP Flash Tool and select Scatter-loading file.
10. Now After you've selected the scatter loading file you'll find there are various selections in front of you, Preloader, lk, boot, recovery and etc etc
10.1. DESELECT or UNSELECT (OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) every selection other than boot.
10.2. In the row of boot/bootimg, (remember the patched boot image?) click on LOCATION you'll get a explorer window to locate to the patched boot image, locate and select it. In the last it should look something like this:
https://imgur.com/a/WMbTTAC
10.3. Click on Download in SP Flash Tool and connect the device, see next step.
11. Power Off the device and Remove the battery(See 3. in Issues I faced).
12. Now while pressing the Volume UP and Down Button together, connect the M-USB to your device port. I can't explain this but, firstly connect the USB cable to your pc then to your device haha.
13. You'll hear the device connected sound of Windows(If windows user) and the flashing will start
14. Reboot to OS and Voila! Check your Magisk Manager, your device is now rooted! Do remember to install the Magisk App just below the Magisk Root Check!
Now, issues I faced:
1. Device wasn't connecting to the SP Flash Tool, I reinstalled the MTK Drivers but it didn't do any change.
2. FastBoot flashing didn't work, I opted for SP Flash Tool later.
3. Device was starting into Factory mode and/or Recovery mode whenever I pressed Volume UP/Down and then connecting the device through USB, removable battery came to my rescue. Removed the battery, pressed both volume Up and Down button and then connected the USB.
NOTE: Again, all the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/success/etc to your device.
Links for boot.img and scatter file: Here is the MediaFire link, I've scanned the files with my Quick Heal Total Security I'm not those multidadoffspring who likes to spread virus/malware etc. and Here is the VirusTotal Link.
Feel free to tell me my errors and mark how can I improve, I appreciate it
And also, if you need any other file from the Stock ROM of the same device, do tell me here or DM at my insta: heartwastaken
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you!!
Have a great Day

Seems this device has no support anywhere. I spent the last 28 hours trying to fix my problem with no luck it went as follows:
-The device rom had a lot of adware related to something called: com.android.ser
-To get rid of it I rooted it successfully using FrameRoot
-I used some malware cleaners and deleted some sytem apps reported by them including com.android.ser
-My big mistake: I felt I need to clean more, and thought Mediatek apps are another source of adwares and deleted them, the device crashed and when rebooted stuck in bootloop.
-I went into recovery and deleted cache + data , didn't work
-installed ADB and tried sideload (which is an available option in the stock recovery) a ROM which I found here. It pushed the rom up to 100% but immediately failed after that.
-used fastboot app. It connected successfully, could restart the device from there but when I try to flash system.img it fails.
-USB debugging in developer options were most probably not enabled as I remember. Unknown sources was enabled.
Help is appreciated.
Update: Resolved. I'm posting the solution below, which is generic for Mediatek Devices, just ensure you use your own device's ROM, recovery,boot,...etc
(please note we are working on Windows)
(This Video has most of the below notes)
1- From device manager manually install Mediatek USB VCOM drivers and ADB, , installing PDANet (free PC application)helps a lot for some of driver installation, which was true in my case. Installation of PDA Net should be while device is connected and in normal mode (The boot loop in my case).
2-Download Smart Phone Flash Tool
3- You need what is called the "scatter file" for your device. In my case it was included in the ROM zip. There is also a tool to create one called "MTK Droid Tools".
4- open the scatter file, and make sure each image type is assigned to the corresponding image file. In my case the assignment was done automatically as the scatter was included with the ROM zip.
5- Shut down the device (use a needle or pin to reset in case of Ainol Numy 3G AX10)
6-Keep the device disconnected
7-click download on SP Flash tool
8- connect the device. The counters of download start counting and when done (about 5min), a small window with green sign pops up.
9- if download does not start try to fix your drivers. Sometimes you need to uninstall-reinstall drivers. Sometime you need to try from different sources.
10- tell me if this post was helpful
I have been looking through the posts here and on other sites, and I cannot seem to find anyone with experience of rooting the Blackview A8
I have tried using the Kingo Root phone app and their PC software application, which did not work and left a number of other applications installed.
I want to root the A8 in order to be able to use ES File Explorer and StickMount to download photos direct to USB sticks.
If anyone has any suggestions to help with this they will be very gratefully received.
Bump ...
The processor is a Mediatek 6580A, in case anyone has rooted another device with this processor...
Full specs for the Blackview A8 on devicespecifications.com - I cannot post the Url at present
The device has the possibility of USB OTG, but does not connect to any device I have tried, and the USB OTG Checker App tells me that the API is installed, but no USB OTG in the Kernel.
Dropbox works fine as a backup/ transfer method, but I want to be able to use USB Sticks for when I am not on WiFi/ Network...

I have successfully rooted my Blackview Y806 A8 phone. I flashed a TWRP recovery first and then manually flashed the supersu zip. I will try to find time to write more detailed instructions asap.

I have the TWRP recovery img and the supersu zip file. Does anybody know whether I'm allowed to upload these files directly to this website? And or put links to other websites relating to rooting the A8? One more thing. I believe there are two types of A8s. The Y806 and the Y813. I have the Y806 but my son has the Y813. There is a way of telling them apart. I will make a start on the instructions once someone confirms whether I can proceed.

How to make the difference between both A8?
Rooting A8 Instructions
First you need to download the correct Stock ROM for your device:

10. The process will start (If it doesn’t start after 5 seconds or so, unplug the cable and plug it back in).
11. A green circle with a tick will be displayed signifying it’s finished!
12. You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.
FLASHING SuperSu.zip
1. Copy the SuperSu.zip file to your SD Card.
2. Reboot your phone into the new TWRP Recovery
3. Select ‘Install’ and locate the SuperSu.zip file and select ‘Install Image’.

P.S. I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE ACCIDENTALLY. SO READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
My phone has no white sticker, but a black sticker the size of the small white one. Would that be the y814?
Then it's a Y813

The MEGA link always give me download failed even I have a stable wifi connection. Any other miror on y813 stock rom link?
The Mega account for the ROMs isn't mine. It belongs to Blackview.hk
Edit:
Silly me... I was holding wrong keys for the start menu... thank you, it works!
Whoever you are... I owe you a beer!
Old message:
I did all from the tutorial (I have a black Y813). It finds the phone when I connect it to the USB, says all OK. But when I try to boot into TWRP (holding Volume- and Reset button) it still boots in the original factory Chinese boot mode. No TWRP mode.
Works! Works! Works!
Okay, now I have root. So far understood.
What have I to do if I would like to renew the total system. In may case the Android system has several adware included. I wish to change the rom against a "clean" system.

I solved it myself. I have flashed the whole downloaded y806 file and checked all items in flashtool to be flashed. After a longer boot duration the system works great and ....without adware. Great!!

Hi, but which keys are the valid ones?
Guys, do you got problems with A8's battery?
Is there a connection between rooting of A8 and decreasing A8's high phone idle?
Hey guys! I'm about to root my Blackview A8 using the method mentioned in this thread. How is everyone's experience with this? Is rooting my phone using the above-posted method completely safe?
I'll recommend this

I'm really thanks with you, this really worked and I recommend this process (I've a Y806) But you missed something. To install the drivers of the FlashTools you have to disable the obligatory use of signed drivers before to install it (If you don't have disable, The installation won't finish) Thanks
Hi. I've managed the first part of the process, up until receiving the green tick and copying the SuperSU.zip to the memory card on my A8. The problem comes when I want to go into TWRP: I manually enter recovery mode and I get a dead android icon with the line "no command".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

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!

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 all!!
This is for all the people who managed to softbrick (or hardbrick) their Lenovo Tab 3 8' (TB3-850F) tablets!
All you will need link, at the end of the post. I don't know for how long it will be up, but you can use it for now.
By the way.... Should you find something useful here... please hit the thanks button in the end
A. Unbrick
This requires flashing a clean stock rom. You will need:
a. stock rom for the TB3-850F (Google is you friend )
b. Sp Flashtool (you can download from their official site). From there, also download the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 (or any latest version).
Steps:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
Note : If you encounter problems installing Windows drivers in Windows 10, google how to install unsigned drivers in Win10
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
3. Unzip the rom file you downloaded.
4. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
5. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and in SP Flashtool click options and 'with battery'.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your device and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
B. Root and TWRP recovery
This requires that you have or download:
a. platform tools (adb and fastboot)
b. a twrp.img (image file) for the lenovo TB3-850F copied to external SD Card and platform tools folder (google is... useful )
c. latest supersu.zip (flashable) copied to an external SD CARD
d. busybox.apk
Steps:
1. Grab tablet, go to settings ---> about tablet ---> click version number 7 times to enable developer options
2. From settings again click developer options and enable OEM Unlocking and usb debugging
3. Navigate in the platform tools folder. While holding SHIFT right click and select open commandline here (or similar)
4. Connect tablet to PC and in the command line issue: adb devices
If a weird number shows up and says device on the left you are all good to continue.
5. Now on the command prompt again issue: adb reboot bootloader
Your tablet should now reboot to fastboot (big Android, laying down)
6. Issue command: fastboot oem unlock (also check tablet screen for confirmation)
Wait a little bit and reboot your tablet. (should work with holding the power key down for a little longer than 10 seconds. If not hold down volume key and power button for the same amount of time - tested and working)
**At this point it is ESSENTIAL to leave the tablet to fully boot. The bootloader unlock triggers a FACTORY RESET which you must leave to complete and set up your tablet from the beginning.
** It is also ESSENTIAL to complete the boot and set up cycle because, after the automatic factory reset you will need to RE-ENABLE developer options and usb debugging. Once you are done continue to 7.
7. In the platform tools folder copy the twrp.img (you should have downloaded earlier, check upwards... )
8. Open the command line again and type:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
** This will load up TWRP recovery only for this boot time.
****BE EXTRA CAUTIUS TO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications. Essential! Should you do otherwise go back to how to unbrick your tablet.
9. Choose install, and install supersu.zip.
10. Choose reboot to system and allow complete boot cycle! Essential!
11. Your tablet should now be rooted. However to succesfully flash the twrp recovery you need to have Busybox installed. Download as .apk and install it (at the time of writing this I believe Busybox 54 is the latest version).
12. Once installed back to the windows terminal and issue:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
ONCE AGAIN - DO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications!!!!!
13. From you external SD Card install twrp.img, select recovery when prompted.
14. Reboot to system and enjoy!!!!
Note : Install an app that makes it easy to boot to recovery. (I personally use root essentials - Trying the combination keys did nothing for me, or just poped up the chinese options menu. That does not mean the recovery has not been installed correctly. Booting to recovery from rootessential menu, boots straight to twrp)
All you will need and credits:
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...ourcekey=0-SDvJaXtWWk-TY9B53ct8dw&usp=sharing (thanks button, thanks button, thanks button!!! )
Results:
(it is in Greek, but you get the idea )
Hope I have helped! Happy playing with the commands and whole process! :good:
Lastly, if you get stuck at any point, you can either use this thread or PM me for further advice, explanation and/or any kind of assistance.
Note: Special thanks to @MotoJunkie01 for actually taking the time to further help people on this thread, as unfortunately I do not currently have the time to do so myself. It is worth checking out @MotoJunkie01 's threads also. There, you can find very useful and updated information.

Good guide. This tablet has temperamental steps involved with custom recovery and root. This guide gives a good outline of those steps. Here is a link to my thread for Stock Android 6.0 firmware for this tablet for members who need a stock ROM.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment. I was really enthusiastic to read that you are working on a pure Stock Android 6.0 ROM for this device! Will definitely be waiting for that!
Thank you again!

Thank you for the encouragement. I am in hopes that we can eventually get a dedicated device forum for the tb3-850f. I truly believe this tablet has the potential for plenty of future development.
@r&xp I love you so much, I was in the same predicament as you and you helped get my tablet running again. Just wanted to mention, I had to hold volume down when plugging in the USB for the SPFT step instead of volume up. THANK YOU AGAAAAAAAAAAIN <3

Thanks for the comment!!! :silly:
Glad it worked for you. Isn' t it like a really good feeling when you actually see your bricked device boot correctly for the first time after you had almost deemed it unusable???
(also... a... small request... could you please click on that thingy... you know... that ehhh... thanks button??? :angel::angel:)
Just an update, since damaging my TB3-850F, I have since ordered another unit from Office Depot which is due to be delivered Monday or Tuesday. Once it arrives, I'll finish my TWRP flashable stock 6.0 ROM for this device and start back on the modified stock ROM.

Looking forward to it. I picked mine up from walmart just yesterday for using as a google maps/car media center
My Lenovo Tab 3 replacement finally arrived in the mail. I'll be picking up where I left off on compiling both unmodified stock and custom stock-based ROMs for this tablet.
On my modified stock based ROM, I'm considering the implementation of Substratum (Root Ver) for theming, but I would like to get the input of other device owners first. So far, I have debloated, deodexed and zipaligned the OS. I am including the modified/patched boot image with SuperSU v2.79 SR3 binaries installed for systemless root, Nova Launcher, Pixel Icon Pack, BusyBox v1.26.2 binaries pre-injected in /su/xbin/, and Kernel Adiutor-Mod installed in /system/apps/ for user defined adjustments to the stock kernel and governors.
You guys please give me input on what you would like included in the ROM. Thanks

Try again to get TWRP installed to your /recovery partition or, alternatively, try to simply boot into TWRP from fastboot with the fastboot boot twrp.img command. It is common for members to experience some difficulty in installing custom recovery on this device. It has been my experience that most members are successful the second time around.
Thanks MotorJunkie!! But mine after was saved from brick from this thread, i was rooted it also by your instructions from other thread.. Now the gps from GoogleMap doesn't determine the location (even the location already turned on ) ... Plus i couldn't check the systemupdate ( it says connection network failed even i was connecting to wifi already) ...
What should i do, or do you know how to fix it?

System updates (OTAs) won't install on rooted operating systems. To install an OTA, you must have unmodified stock /boot, /system, and /recovery partitions installed. On the GPS issue, go to Settings, Apps, and ensure Google Maps has been granted location access permission.
Hi ...
I followed this guide but during the unbricking' I unplugged the device from USB (since I could not see any input on device or indication in SP Flash Tool).
Now the device will not turn on at all (previously I would see the Lenovo Logo splash screen but then it would just stay at this screen. Now i do not see anything).
When I plug into computer by USB, it causes my computer to freeze up (Windows 10).
Any ideas or is this now completely bricked? (hard bricked).

It sounds like a hard brick. I can't speak for the OP, @r&xp on this, so you may want to get his advice. Have you tried the OP's methods of using your hardware buttons for forcing the device into adb/fastboot recognition? I think this is your only chance of recovering it. By it not powering on, from my experience, a bootloader or bootloader dependent partition has been corrupted, thus hard bricking the tablet.

Hello, I'll weigh in on this one. There are multiple threads above the TB3-850F on this forum and also another forum.
I initially followed a different thread and instructions which caused my problem. Notably do not allow TWRP write access !!! This mistake caused the soft-brick.
Anyone following any other advice about TB3-850F or downloading any other image BEWARe. Only follow the advice in this thread by r&xp:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727
Following this advice I now restored original image and then rooted in just a few hours.. Thank you r&xp for the good advice. :laugh:
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.
