Elephone P8 MTK6757 - Elephone P8000

Hi Guys,
I just ordered an Elephone P8 2017 with the Mediatek Helio P25 and was wondering who is the right person to ask about support for these phones. I searched for this model but the closest match that comes up is the P8000. I definitely want to root this device and if a rom is created for it......flash to that.
I'm looking forward to any helpful responses.

Well, I'd second that.
Mine has just arrived after only 8 days, and I really want a custom recovery (TWRP preferred).
Custom-ROMs will follow in time, I'm sure, but a recovery would be really helpful for a start.

I was actually able to flash TWRP and do a backup but it would not take the SuperSU flash. After a reboot, I lost TWRP so I'm still patiently waiting on someone to get it to stick.

You need special versions of the SuperSU-Binaries to permanently root the P8.
You find all necessary files on needrom.com:
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-recovery-25/
BTW: I recommend SP-Flash-Tool V5.1728 )or any later 1.xxx-version) for the P8.

So have you been able to root your P8 (2017) and get it to stick?

I successfully rooted mine. I'm a freshly registered user here on XDA so it's not allowing me to paste any URL links in this message but there's another version posted on Needrom website. Navigate Needrom website to Home » Elephone » - Serial P » P8 MT6757 and the latest pretty good solution to this problem is the addition titled "Recovery/Root fix".
You need to replace your boot.img with the same but modified version provided. This allows TWRP to stick. My P8 has been rooted for around 4 months now. I can boot into TWRP whenever I want to make a backup or flash something etc. Magisk root v16.0 is also provided to handle the root. Tried replacing it with SuperSU but it grumbles and comes back with an error. I haven't looked into it any further for the time being because Magisk seems to be handling the root just fine so far.

How to replace boot.img?
OK I've found this link to using Magisk to replace the boot.img
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/solved-elephone-p8-max-root-t3838494
Trouble is that Magisk needs TWRP to load it on unrooted phones.
So how do I flash root.img onto this phone?
About to abandon this. Trouble is that I used Titanium pro on my previous phone but that requires root. So I cannot restore my files.
I'll wait for a fix later. Installing apps manually. Ugh.

30e rollback to root device

Hi All! New here and looking to root my device and roll back to 30d to do so. Is there and step by steps as i downloaded thr proper drivers, lg mobile flasher, and the kdz file to perform the down grade. I found thevpost with all the links but am i supposed to just go into download mode and just flash thr kdz and go ahead with kingroot and then flash twrp using flashify as well as supersu? Its been a while i rooted my device.
Yes use KDZ to flash back D85130D then make sure your on wifi oe data .
1. Download kingroot and install
2. Dowbload LG-G3-Flasable-Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip from here. And put on root folder or phone storage . http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...&txt=LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
3. Download the latest TWRP for d851. Put on root of phone storage. And download SuperSu latest verison and put on root of phone storage
4. Download Banks Gapps 6.x.x.x. Put on root of phone storage
5. Dowbload and install flashify
6. Run kingroot till you are temp rooted
7. Flash twrp in flashify
8. Reboot into recovery
9. In twrp click install and install the AUTOREPACK
10. Now click back and go to install on twrp and install SuperSu.
Now once all done you are now permananet rooted on D85130D with Super Su. Also you can do the code trick to turn of OTA update google it or you can download a app called disable service and inside the app go to googleplayservices and you will see a bunch of stuff with checkmarks look for the one called systemupdateservices and un check it it will ask for root grant it . the. There you have it no more OTA
Kingroot just won't work for me at all on my LG D851. I've tried repeatedly on numerous occasions within the last 2 weeks and it's the same thing.....No Support for This Device. I have downloaded the apk from different links, direct download, mirror........I can't even remember now from what other sources besides those I used also. What am I doing wrong, it's as simple as hitting the install button (besides the google warning).
I got a G3 yesterday & tried several root methods, KingRoot (this app seems dicey to me, it adds a lot of other "stuff" that I don't want need), Stumproot (which said FAIL system is patched, and PurpleDrake method (which, after finding & rebooting phone, sat at awaiting device for 20+ minutes), and LG_root, where you had to type in the root script (also fail). I have successfully rooted my wifes G3 earlier this year (D851 same model as mine) but this one's a big PITA (ota updated to 30d MM )

M8s on Marshmallow - systemless root - how?

Hi,
I recently had to return my phone back to stock because of a warranty issue. (battery dying between 25% and 40%)
So chances are high that I will get the phone back with Marshmallow instead of Lollipop.
is there a guide or can anyone give some pointers how to root this device? After a bit of reading I still have a few specific questions, so maybe someone here can help.
A) What TWRP version will I need for the M8s on Marsmallow?
B) Will Magisk systemless root work on this device?
C) If the rooting has succeeded and I remove some bloatware apps from /system/vendor and /privapp and such. Will this trip the Google safety net? Or is safety net not yet applied to our M8s devices?
Thanks!
I don't personally have the M8s version specifically. But as the device forum sections for all the M8 versions in general are becoming pretty quiet; I'll try to help you to the best of my knowledge.
A) The TWRP recovery posted in this (M8s) forum section should work fine on Marshmallow. Looks like it's only updated to 2.8.6
B) Should work, yes. I would suggest the current stable Magisk version, which is 14.0
Backup your stock (unrooted) ROM before trying to root (as you always should - this is best practice and just good common sense). Then if anything goes wrong, you can easily restore to stock.
C) Not sure. But I can tell you on my current device (OnePlus 3T) that removing system (bloat) apps does not trip safety net.
Hi @redpoint73,
Thanks. That takes away some worries and gives me some confidence for giving it a third shot . Nandroid's don't work on the M8s unfortunately, I've tried this once since I botched something up during my first root attempt, put back the Nandroid and my Bluetooth was dead. (and probably more, but I didn't investigate it further back then.)
As in regards of removing bloat, since HTC has the S-on I was only able to remove the pre-installed apps from within TWRP (or else the apps were back after a reboot), so I guess this process remains the same?
Thanks so far and I'll report back my results in this topic. Now I first have to wait to see if they give me my warranty, since the bootloader said relocked and the firm I had to send it to is notorious for blaming factory faults on rooting of the phone. Fingers crossed!

Should be the same, yes.
The reason for this, is that the system is write-protected, even with root. On the M8, there is a kernel mod which disables the write protection (allows you to modify system while booted to OS), but I don't know if there is such a mod for the M8s. But if you were able to do it in TWRP, the same should apply on Marshmallow.
So I finally got my phone back, or well, to be accurate, I got another phone (albeit another M8s) back under warranty. I guess they f'd it up during repairs or something. And as expected my phone was upgraded to Marshmallow.
Anyhow, the more I read about Magisk and systemless rooting the more lost I seem to get lost. Is there somewhere a step by step guide for obtaining root on this phone?
Let me recap from what I've understood so far (SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2 and SOURCE 3)
1) Backup my boot partition, I am still searching how to accomplish this without rooting the phone first. Booting to TWRP without installing resulted in mangling some data in the boot partition, so unfortunately that is not an option. (blanks the OS version)
2) Boot to TWRP and flash the Magisk zip file. There should be an option somewhere in TWRP to enable systemless rooting.
3) ?
So if anyone knows if I am on the right (or wrong) track please let me know .
Thijs
Edit: I can't seem to get the phone boot TWRP for some reason (from my harddrive htc_fastboot boot twrp.img). This used to be possible on my old M8s which I had send in for repairs. Do I really have to flash it because I have no way of backing up the old original recovery .
Okay, since it is kinda dead in here let me bump this for anyone in the same situation. I've managed to install Magisk successfully. The steps involved
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash twrp (htc_fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) I've used the latest version from Captain Throwback which I've found in the OP of the Void_Zero Lineage OS thread.
3) boot the phone and copy magisk systemless root zip and the apk file to your internal storage Grab the uninstaller as well in the topic.
4) reboot to recovery (adb reboot bootloader)
5) flash the zip from within recovery
6) reboot the phone and install the Magisk app.
7) done
Use this guide on your own risk. It worked flawlessly for me but no guarantees .

How to root xiaomi mi a2 lite?

Finally bought it.
Still fresh and everything, also my first Xiaomi device.
I only ever rooted an old Samsung device and an LG device (forgot their series now, haha..).
So my goals/targets:
1. Root
2. Custom Rom (if any)
3. Unlock bootloader? If it is locked by default.
I haven't looked what OS version my device have, as I haven't booted it up. Rather finish up the rooting first before putting anything inside.
Thanks for your time!
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Root it.
3. No custom ROMs available unless you want to try a GSI.
For 1 & 2 go here.
For 3 go here. Really read up on how to install the GSI if you decide to go this route. There are some guides within this forum.

I tried following the link for 1 & 2
4. Now connect the phone with your PC via USB cable, open an administrative command prompt, move to the directory where the Android platform tools are placed and unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Got stuck here with "waiting for any device". Do you have any insight for this?
Edit: Nvm got it fixed.
But how do I root? Finished up everything on the thread but I'm still not rooted. The thread doesn't say anything about it either.
You have to flash magisk and install the app, then you can give root acces.

Ah okay, it seems to be the app that I wanted to test root on being the problem of me thinking root is not there (and well, older version stating its rooted)
Helium Backup doesnt seem to work with root here. Does either of you use it and knows how to use Helium Backup with root on Mi A2 Lite? Or is the only way with Helium Backup from desktop?
I have had only used titanium backup (freeware), sorry but I don't know anything about helium.
What are you trying to recover/backup, only data or entire apps?

I just got my wife a new Nokia 3.1 (Oreo 8.1) and Helium wouldn't work on it. I was able to back up her old phone running KitKat, but with Oreo on the new phone it was a no go. Neither phone could be rooted so it was disappointing that Helium couldn't do the job. It appears that Helium is not compatible with Oreo.

OnePlus 7T vs Pixel 4a - Android 10 - Root without TWRP?

Longtime OnePlus owner (3T and then 5). The 5 is still a great device for me overall but I've never been thrilled with the camera (no OIS) or the intermittent GPS Lock issues I've had.
The 7T is on sale though it may be a bit large for me. The 4A looks like it will be very cheap and have a good camera.
Anyway, I know that devices that ship with Android 10 don't yet have TWRP so this would apply to both devices, but I've never rooted without it. I've seen the instructions using the patched boot image method. It seems straight-forward, but also risky.
Any thoughts from those of you who've always used TWRP and are now unlocking the bootloader, rooting with Magisk, and installing Edxposed without TWRP? Do you find that to be overly risky for a daily driver, or just fine if you follow instructions?
It's been good for me personally on my 7t, as I follow instructions. I sim unlocked mine within 3 days, bootloader unlocked within a week, converted to international firmware and then to a custom rom and I've landed on msm extended. You generally extract a bin file with python to get the fastboot files for a custom rom, and then flash them in fastboot or some roms have fastboot files with a bat file for windows that's super easy to use, just one click to install like in msm extended vs extracting files and then manually flashing like in omni.
Aside from my ramblings root is really easy to get, you generally(not always it depends on the rom I think) boot the patched boot img and then direct install in magisk manager. So fastboot boot \magisk.img ( or whatever file path and img name) or you can direct install to the inactive slot if you took an update(depends on rom I think) So basically take the boot.img from the rom or update, patch in magisk manager, boot it from your pc, and then direct install or to the inactive slot.
TLDR: it is safe if you follow instructions and can read.
Side notes, xposed is generally a privacy risk and threat so I wouldn't use that. Mods like xprivacylua are crap and don't actually work, use Blocker for trackers and analytics blocking.
And twrp is not too far off at this point, they've been slowly developing it and the chinese already have a full functioning one for the 7t(don't use it, not open source)

Thanks, I might just wait for the non-Chinese TWRP before jumping in. TWRP has saved me from a few mis-steps along the way.
EdXposed - Yes, there are security issues with it and it's a hassle getting the correct variant these days, but I use GravityBox which requires EdXposed.

This is my first one plus device coming from a pixel 2 XL which I honestly loved so much like the way it just felt and I never rooted or messed with things like that since my Motorola nexus 6 lol I was a bit nervous but followed the steps and instructions and I'm rooted latest stock oos with blu_spark kernel and yet to run into any issues yet so if I can you would be able to aswell as long as you follow all steps on whatever it is you want to do your good.

Question Brief explaination required, BL Unlock, TWRP & ROOT

Hello all, Hope you are having great time.
I have just bought Poco F3 (Global variant), and have tried unlocking bootloader, and currently awaiting 168 hours. i have few queries if you brief me since this is my 1st Xiaomi device, coming from simple & easier Oneplus 5,
1) If i change to another pc to unlock bootloader after 168 hours, or if my old pc died, will the counter restart in case of changed PC?
2) I have problem and confusion in getting current stable TWRP since the forum is mixing things up for me probably because of my lack of knowledge, so basically, i want TWRP for my MIUI v12.5.2 Global, through which, i can flash ROMs or mods for my likings, so if you guys link to current stable TWRP, it would be really great.
3) I also read that if we flash Magisk, TWRP's removed, and if we flash TWRP, Magisk will be removed, so the above current twrp version has fixed this? initially, i just want to flash magisk to root official pre-installed miui os, after sometime, i will go to custom ROMs.
4) Last question, how can we flash stock miui ROM, are we only able to flash stock miui through fastboot or now also possible via TWRP?.
I Would appreciate if you clear the above query, i have searched a lot, but things gets confusing for me, and can't make it clear which twrp, or method to flash will work. so having to ask you. Hope you will understand.

1. As long as you login with the same account and not before the 168 hours passed, you are ok to continue the process. The countdown is linked to your mi.com account not to your PC.
2. TWRP 3.5x is ok. It doesn't really matter what MIUI version you use, you can install some custom ROMs but SOME custom roms require different Custom Recoveries and ADB on windows (havoc, Arrow... have their own process.) Read recommended procedure carefully for each ROM because they differ.
3. That happens to idiots that DO NOT READ ISTRUCTIONS all the way. Some ROMs require installing TWRP twice. Once to boot (temporary) and again later in a permanent manner using a different method. Each ROM has step by step procedure so problems can be avoided. After you permanently install TWRP you can install magisk (usually using boot image). If you are not careful you install TWRP, install new ROM and find out you reverted to last recovery or only have fastboot and you have to start all over.
4. DO NOT FLASH MIUI USING TWRP. EVER!!! IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY and you will need EDL Authorized Service.
Only use OFFICIAL MIUI FLASH TOOL to return to Original MIUI OS (RECOVERY OR FASTBOOT VERSION). All 2021 Xiaomi phones have a antirollback protection to prevent you to return to Original software. Only some versions of MIUI can be installed on some versions of thehe smartphones. Ex. My Poco F3 (eu) accepts reinstalling only MIUI 12.0.4 and update afterwards to 12.5.3.
Oficial Mi Flash TOOL prevents you to install the wrong software and to brick your phone
TWRP doesn't care about this Rollback Protection, forces MIUI installation regardless and bricks your phone permanently. Only official service can bring it back to life afterwards for 30 to 100 usd

Ohh I see, the last answer has opened my eyes, this is why it is always better to ask some loyal people if something's new, so the EU ROM in their forum should also be flashed only via mi tool? Regardless of the instructions in that forum where they say in instructions that we install twrp and then flash EU ROM and we are done...so is that right procedure or not applicable to 2021 devices like you said? (Asking this because EU roms are also custom but based on miui stock)
there is also this guide which contains a lot of useful information...
How to flash ROM and TWRP on POCO F3 / k40 / mi11x. And an explanation. A very important guide
Mandatory instructions for beginners (and not only beginners) to install ROM and other on poco f3 Prerequisite, unlocking the bootloader For questions, if something is not clear, please write to "Conversations", I will try to correct it in a post...
forum.xda-developers.com
remember to always backup your data and files to pc because unlock BL, and some rom require format data including internal storage so.. ya backup to pc. even they not instruct to format internal storage, just in case you need to because the storage is encrypted by default

Beginners step-by-step guide to installing Xiaomi.EU on POCO F3?
I have finally unlocked the bootloader (no guides mention it will wipe my phone at the same time!). Now I am looking again at Roms, HentaiOS and ArrowOS were contenders but Xiaomi.EU sounds like the best of all factors, a Poco F3 centric...
forum.xda-developers.com
I never installed Xiaomi EU or One OS.
The two main reasons I don't use any MIUI based OS are:
1. those annoying 10 seconds of waiting for almost every permision required by a lot of apps;
2. the main reason, because i like to use Nova launcher combined with gesture navigation. The Stock Android 11 does not allow users to disable navigation buttons outside of the Stock MIUI/Poco Launcher.
Also I am not 100% sure if Widevine L1 certification works in Xiaomi.eu. I know there were issues at one point.
That is needed for using streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video.... in FullHD, and also, maybe most importantly, is needed for Banking/Payment apps, including Contactless (NFC) payments.

This is really advance and I didn't get all the points he mentioned.
So can you guys please simplify it:
After unlocking bootloader, I will only root stock miui already installed, I boot to recovery via fastboot, install into ramdisk select twrp file, and then flash magisk?
I will install unofficial miui like oneos or EU after sometime, what should be the correct method, via twrp or fastboot?
