This method is tested by me and it worked perfectly. With this guide you will be able to root your U9200 with b113 and b115(android 4.0 and 4.0.3).
I am not responsible for any data loss or bricked devices! You do it on your own risk!
1) Download this zip. The password is: ccc333
2) Extract the zip to your desktop.
3) Download Android SDK Tools from here and install the packages.
4) Plug your Ascend P1 to the PC.
5) Make sure that USB Debugging is checked (Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging)!
6) Open "b113_b115-root_u9200---__[Nixing]" from your desktop.
7) Run "hwadb.exe".
8) Run "ubl.exe", click ROOT - this should root your device without restart and any problem, check if the Superuser icon has appeared.
After the device is rooted you will need to install recovery.
I used Geno's Recovery - run "Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1.exe" from the zip and the tool will install it.
From this recovery you can flash whatever you want w/o any problems! It's a little bit sad that it is in chinese but oh well...
I will attach a picture of the same recovery but in english so you can see what you are actually doing.
Good luck!
Hi.
When i try run "Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1.exe" i got stuck on reboot stage. Telephone just show Huawei Ascend. BTW Win 7 can't find driver for Blaze. I tried reboot manually with pressed power+volum up keys and recover update.zip. But recovery cant pass signature verification. :crying:

You can try this to install the recovery image onto the phone without the custom rom.
1. Download Android Control here (mirror) or here (XDA thread) and extract to a folder on your hard drive root (eg. c:\AndroidControl)
2. Download the Recovery image - recovery-new.img (the one included in Onekey) or recovery-off.img (the one that Onekey is based on)
Note: As far as I know, they are both Chinese language but based on ClockWorkMod so should be easy enough to navigate around. Edit: Though judging from the picture above then they may not be Chinese lol
3. Put whichever image you choose into the AndroidControl folder ready to be flashed over.
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone and then switch it off. Hold volume down and power key (I think lol) to boot into download mode (phone should boot to logo and then stop) then plug it into your PC.
5. Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android Control folder, run the following command -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-new.img
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery-off.img
depending which one you chose.
6. Once finished type - 'fastboot reboot' to reboot your phone.
7. Turn off your phone once rebooted and then hold the volume up and power keys to boot into recovery, if its in Chinese you've been successful
I am curious how you install some ROM as .zip file, when all original updates from Huawei have .app as extension.....

In my case it after step 5) it works a little bit different.
When run "Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1.exe" and stuck on reboot stage (just show Huawei Ascend), then you must install a driver for Blaze device manually, you can choose the standard "Android Adapter ADB interface" for this (it works in my case), after intalling the driver Onekey_ROM will resume and install only the recovery image and you phone is showing the Chinese recovery menu choose your "update.zip" or "gapps-signed.zip" from SD-card and it wil be installed (update.zip means your desired firmware).
It seems that the firmware in the Onekey_ROM_Ascendp1 tool will not be placed on the SD-card but in Local Storage, so it will not be installed, therefor put the "gapps-signed.zip" or "update.zip" before flashing on the SD-card so you can select it in Chinese recovery.
I only installed the gapps with original firmware B115 on the phone and all gapps are working.

Hi people,
I'm sorry for this little off topic but I don't know where to find other Huawei Ascend P1's users.
I would like to buy this device but before I would like to know if this device is going fine.
In particular way: how is the in call audio quality? Is it missing calls (like other Huawei device U8800 Pro)? How is the Network (GSM and/or UMTS-3G) quality?
Is the price balanced to the overall quality of the device? I just know that the Huawei Ascend P1 is able to record amazing video and the audio quality is really incredible, but the "phone" function, how is it?
Sorry for the off topic.
It's a great news that I can root the device, so probably at 99% I will buy it after reading your comments.
Thank you in advance,
regards,
kalo
Hey, I'm very pleased with my U9200, don't know about the others but everything works fine here. The device's default ROM was working perfect, I managed to root it and eventually changed to MIUI ROM. But yeah, the U9200 is a really good smartphone if you ask me. There are still not enough apps and tweaks for it etc.

Hey,
is there any trick to get into Download Mode/Fastboot?
Should I press both at the same time? When do I release them..
With Vol. Down + Power Key i don't get into Download Mode..
I just managed to get there once, but I don't remenber how I did it.
And by the way. When I press Vol.Up und Power, I get to the android recovery, stock. where I can do a wipe or apply a update from sdcard.
Pease let me known

EDIT:
Got it. Hold VOL. Down and then Plug in USB Cable.
Phone in Download Mode.
Now I need the right drivers.
Phone shows a "Blaze"
Can someone tell me which driver to use.
thanks
2.EDIT: Got it. Under Win7 , installing Hi Suite, then change Driver for "Blaze" to Android ADB Interface.

Hello Guyzzz!!!!!
A Great Newzz for ALL!!!!! First the recovery was not compiled by me!
But NOW I am BACK with a FULLY WORKING RECOVERY AND FULLY COMPILED BY ME :good:
We have now a FULLY WORKING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY v5.0.2.8.
The CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY is TESTED on :-
1. LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725
2. LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P720H
I HELD NO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR BRICKED PHONES. YOU MAY TRY ON P720 BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Credit Goes to :-
1. I, Me and Myself ( For taking the initiative,compiling testing and removing all bugs )
2.. Cynogenmod for the SOURCES.
3. P720H tester ZOOM.
According to me, the CWM RECOVERY is fully working.
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO INSTALL THE CWM RECOVERY :-
Download the CWM RECOVeRY FINAL.zip from the link given below :
http://www.mediafire.com/?p59d9ppjlhkcp67
Copy the cwm5.0.2.8.img on the ROOT OF THE SDCARD not the External SDCARD ( Root of SDCARD means not in any folder )
The BIGGEST REQUIREMENT IS YOUR OPTIMUS 3D MAX should be ROOTED!!!
Now download ANY TERMINAL EMULATOR from the GOOGLE PLAY!!!!!
You can try this :-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
And install it.
Type the following commands in TERMINAL EMULATOR :-
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/cwm5.0.2.8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Once complete.
Turn off your phone.
1st hold 3d key then volume down button and at last power button.
Keep holding till the LG LOGO appears and leave when it appears.
You will enter the CWM Recovery
Proof of the Recovery :-
Worked like a charm! First I couldn't get the # to appear (the phone WAS rooted) so I just used the terminal emulator you specified, and that solved it.

is it somehow possible to activate nable adb access in CWM 5.0.2.8?
or can i flash a zip to do this?
Again .. i can enter S/W Upgrade Mode
There i only see S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading....
(NO ADB ACCESS! But the Tool recognize the phone but won't let me start the sw upgrade.)
In CWM i can mount & unmount storage and flash zip files or backup / Restore.
BUT no ADB access and Restoring the backup i made doesnt work either)
What breaking my head is that the LG Update must had set a flag to boot into recovery after i downloaded it so mindless.
Since then i stuck in cwm bootloop. There mus be a way to reset this flag. Somehow!!!)
Its over .. i flashed CWM-Loop-DeLooper -> now i stuck @ LG Logo.. also vol+ to enter S/W Upgrade not working anymore. Now its bricked! ARGH!

Thanks a lot! Its strange that in any instruction not says this way of use CWM, i read a lot differents cwm instructions, but the always the same - use power off key ot use 3d button.
Who don`t how to use CWM menu :
"properties button" - up
"home button" - down
"back button" - back
"search button" - ENTER
Cannot select options in cwm
Hi Eklovya,
Brilliant job done!!
I have successfully rooted and installed CWM following your method.
However, when i go boot to CWM, I can use the volume buttons to highlight the options (I wanted to backup), but I am not able to select the options. i tried the power button and the 3D button, no go. What do i do?
I just exchanged my P920 and got myself this P725 today!!!
schubeir
EDIT: my bad!!! found the solution in the post just above!!!!
schubeir
(possibly long post , I will try to make a post at least a little fun to read).
Guys, I humbly come before you, kneeling and desperate, trying to solve my problem .
I've serarched XDA and a lot (!!) of others forums and comunities to revive my P720H (LG optimus 3D Max in Brazil).
I am not a complete noob in custom firmwares for Android, but this time, the LG phone gave me a hell of a headache (and almost a divorce, for the 3 days going too late to bed, trying to solve it).
I will explain what happened and what I've already tried to do and the results.
Causes:
I've tried to install ClockworkMod in my P720H because it still was in Android 2.3.6 (I think).
I've successfully rooted the phone using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886057 with the SuperSU app on GooglePlay.
When I asked CWM app to reboot in recovery mode (to wipe things and install the .zip file on the sdcard root) things got bad.
My phone could not get passed the LG logo anymore.
So far we have a cause: CWM app did something to the phone. I am not able to boot the recovery menu nor to pass the LG logo on the screen.
Over the communities we may find that it's a common issue.
It is important to say that I am able to enter the 'S/W updating' state. When I connect the phone to the computer, holding VOL+ and placing the battery, I got the S/W screen.
What can I do? In several posts (even here in xda) we may find 3 or 4 different solutions to restore the phone. I think I've already tried everything, but I am sure that the steps became fuzzy in my read and I mixed the solutions in the end.
Drivers:
- I have already the drivers installed: When I connect the phone (with or without battery and with or without vol+ pressed) my Device Manager recognizes everything. I don't have any component marked as 'unknown device' or with exclamations points or anything. This is a good thing, I guess. I had to install more than one thing to solve every driver problem. I don't remember exactly, but I think that the LGDriver-something and the omap4430 something too.
Solutions:
- I have tried the LG Support Tool and so far it appears to be the closest to a solution that I've reached. With the phone connected (in S/W mode or no), I insert the IMEI and the software recognizes the model and starts downloading something (500mb approx.). But after decompressing, during the installation phase, it gets stuck at 4%. I waited for more than 20min and still got nothing better than 4%. It appears to be a common issue too.
- The LG_FlashTool (version 1.2) does not work either. In fact, it does not even recognizes the phone. I've changed the COMport to 41 (according to some guide) on Windows Device Manager and chose the port 1 on LGFlashTool. Even after selecting the kdz, bin and fls files, the software does not connect to the phone. I don't have a screenshot here, but I've seen here in xda that the software displays the model of the phone on the top and a READY message on port 1. Mine does not do it.
- KKDZ_FW_UPD_EN: I've tried this one but it does not even start working. The interface is not that good, so I don't know where I may be failing. I need to 'read phone information' or not? What do I have to chose on each combobox? How to proceed?
And why the hell is there so much .exe on this thing? Do I have to run a apache server to do something?!
- OMAP4BOOT: This one connects to the phone and works, I think. But I don't know its purpose. It's just to place the phone on 'S/W updating' mode? If so, it's useless, because I can enter it easily. If no, maybe I am missing something. Either way, I don't have a version for the P720H. If I remeber correctly, it proposes P999, P760, P870, ... I choose P760 to test it and it works (apparently, again).
- SmartFlashTool: I don't remember if I have already tried this one. As I said, it was too much already.
- NVFlash: I've found it only to G2X, so I didn't know if I should try forcing it to my model. I can give it a try if you help me.
Other softwares and downloads:
KDZ:
- V10B_00 and V1A_00: found today and downloaded for my model and country (will try to extract things and use it later).
- LG_P725_V10F_00: I was using this one until yesterday, because I didn't have the one to P720H
- LGP700AT-01-V10d-232-03-SEP-11-2012+0.dz : Found in an indian repository of some kind of LG data leak. Apparently is useless. DZextract gave me nothing.
DLL: LGP720_20120330_LGFLASHv1377: Needed in some of the softwares above (LG FLashTool? I don't remeber).
BIN and FLS: LGP725_LG_P725_V10F_00_AP.bin and LGP725_LG_P725_V10F_00_CP.fls, extracted from LG_P725_V10F_00.kdz. I don't know, but I should try extracting these from the V10A_00, because apparently is the correct one for my model/country (I am not in my house right now).
Well... :crying:
tl;dr version:
I am facing a LG logo boot loop in P720H. I've tried to reboot CWM in recovery mode but it didn't work. I've tried several approaches but I don't even know what is the point of each one. I found that this is the best topic to use, because is one of the fews that covers the P720H.
I have all those softwares and almost 5gb of downloaded material (kdz, img, bin, exe, ...) but I don't know what I am supposed to use.
In the end, I want my P720H in android 4.x if possible. If not, I just want the crap 2.3.6 again. :crying:
Can you help me? I am not a total noob in custom firmwares and roms, and I am willing to pass all the information that I can :fingers-crossed:

Okay so after you`ve accepted taking the risk, let`s start...
So,i was spending alot of time trying to make The "OEMINFO-Hack-Tool-v1" to work, I discovered a Simple And way safer procedure...
MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED!( Or it won`t work )
1. Download The App ( 5iromtoolbox ) in the attachment & install it in your rooted device...
NOTE: I recommend The "Kingo App" for rooting, its way quick and simple...
2. Click on IMEI backup...
3. After Its completion, connect your phone in MTP ( Media Transfer ) mode, browse to SDCARD
4. Copy the whole folder somewhere in your PC ( Backups are Always Important )...
5. Now, browse to SDCARD/5irom/imeibackup/ and click copy on the file "5.img"
6. Back to SDCARD ( root ), Create a folder named "OEMINFO-BACKUP" & paste "5.img" file in there...
7. Open Up "OEMINFO-Hack-Tool" folder & run "2-oeminfo-hack-windows"...( This time it should Be successful, if u had troubles...)
NOTE: If it says "ADB/Shell denied superuser access", Change your superuser App to SuperSU...
8. After completion, Copy the "Dload" folder of your firmware to the SDCARD & and Turn off your device...
9. Hold "Volume up + Volume Down", then hold the power button ( The Firmware Update process Will start )...
10. After Completion the device will Boot up, But!, Unrooted... ( If your dial *#06# you`ll notice a Blank IMEI )
11. To fix that, Root the Device ( Kingo App recommended) & install the "5iromtoolbox" app again...
12. Go to your "file manager" app and Copy the "5irom" folder to the "internal storage"...
13. Launch "5iromtoolbox" and restore your IMEI...
14. After Completion, RESTART! the device, ( It will do a Hard Reset )
15. After Reboot, Dial *#06#, this time the IMEI would be back to Original....
AND THATS ALMOST IT!
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED YOU.

did you follow the procedures well?
was your phone rooted?
is it a Y300?
where were you in the steps until the error occured?
try to find ways to unbrick your device, because thats seems to be whats going on...
ps: I don`t really use the device no more, so it be pretty hard to help you with that.
ill probably send it to service but thanks
fastboot doesnt work, twrp is gone, only accesible mode is download mode
my phone is a rooted huawei y300(EU) with twrp recovery and a oficial rom, it failed after the step where i have to reboot, i can read the imei using dc unlock and its not 0 or my original imei, and i think that might be the issue, idk where i messed up, tried using dsf cdma tool but dont really know how to use it and the tutorials out there on the web dont work for me, anyways thanks for the reply
ps. i got a new one to but its a waste to just let it collect dust
Guys: I need your understanding, experience, patience and HEEELP!!!
The history:
2 months ago, I bought a new HUAWEI GR3 (TANGO) TAG-L23. Processor = MT6753T
I tried to root it using KingoRoot. I Messed it up... Got a soft-brick: splash screen boot loop. At that moment, I still had access to Fastboot and Recovery mode (stock recovery).
After tons of days googling, found a TWRP recovery that someone claimed that worked in GR3.
I decided to flash it using fastboot commands from my PC. Result = OK. Flashed and worked like a charm.
Tired of searching a stock/custom firmware for GR3 TAG-L23, I decided to download and flash a GR3 TAG-L22 rom using TWRP.
Result = Messed it up again... this time worst... Hard-bricked I think: the phone didn't show any light, couldn't boot it again in any mode... Dead...
The only hope I had is that it is detected by Windows for about 10 seconds as MEDIATEK USB PORT (COMxx) where xx changes when I connect it from one USB port to another.
Since then, I tried almost every tutorial/video/solution/forum/website over the internet, tried almost every SP Flash tool version from v3.1224 to v5.1628, downloaded every scatter.txt for MT6753 processor, tried changing with/without battery option in SPFT, pressing every phone buttons combos, with no luck...
I always get the same error: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)
Downloaded and installed almost every driver I found on internet: not overwritting them... I created a Virtual Machine, and test them separately using snapshots. Result = Same DRAM_FAIL error.
last week, got another HUAWEI GR3 TAG-L23, untouched, brand new...
I did the following with the new one:
Flashed TWRP recovery using fastboot commands = OK
Rooted it using SuperSU = OK
executed tons of ADB commands that found over the internet, to dump the partition table and stock rom using dd command = OK (I think... what I got is a bunch of files - system, lk, boot, logo, cache, frp, userdata, secro, recovery, nvdata, protect1 and 2, tee1 and 2, and so on).
Using the partition table information, edited one scatter.txt file for MT6753 and, one by one, adjusted the partition info (start and lenght). I did it because when using any downloaded scatter file, and selecting the files that I got from dd commands, SPFT showed error messages saying them were wrong. After editing it and loading the files that I got from the second phone, SPFT recognized them as good ones.
But.... I'm still getting the d...mn S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0) error
Also tried to get a rom backup and scatter file from the second phone using MTK DROID ROOT & TOOLS v2.5.3 with no luck: it shows all phone information (except IMEIs), a green rectangle shows up, but... a weird message appears at right: "ERROR: TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set Default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!". Then I click on "BLOCKS MAP" button, a new window appears showing the partition info (that already got using adb command prompt) and "create scatter file" button is grayed out... And if I try to perform the backup, it starts fine, but ends with error, and no file is backed up...
Let me mention that I already read and googled the totalbytesperchunk error and the grayed out button stuff and tried all alternatives too, and nothing worked.
My work environment:
PC = Laptop With 8 GB RAM / Windows 10 pro x64
Virtual Machines: Windows 7 pro 32 bits, Windows XP 32 bits, Ubuntu 32 and 64 bits...
What else can I do?
How can I use the second, rooted and working phone to get a rom/firmware working dump? it is possible?
If someone decides to help me, let me know what do you need (dumped files, downloaded scatter.txt files, screenshots, whatever you need...)
COM## is a COM port. You can use a terminal program to directly interact with the device.
You are not completely bricked yet.
I do not have any further details to help you, but I can tell you there is still hope.
Connect the dead device to PC, load up a terminal app (if on windows, just load up the app named Terminal)
See where you can get with that.
good luck
Please Help cesarr4: my TAG-L23 bricked - Need your TWRP
I have a bricked GR3 after using Kingo Root. You mention in the post:
"After tons of days googling, found a TWRP recovery that someone claimed that worked in GR3. I decided to flash it using fastboot commands from my PC. Result = OK. Flashed and worked like a charm."
Please share this TWRP recovery, please.

I attached the recovery I'm currently using in the second GR3. I'm still looking forward the stock rom and a way to recover the first one... have u found a way to unbrick it?
Here you can find the recovery too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-huawei-tag-l01-p8-t3433520
I have the same problem with kingroot, and cannot find TAG-L23 rom.
I sent my phone to huawei support and they said it's a board problem and need to replace, the cost is near to the phone's original price.... No way!
In clangsm web page there's a stock rom but you need to pay for vip membership.
Please help with this issue.
I'm still trying to get a working rom image from the 2nd GR3 that I bought... No luck yet... I'm plenty sure that there is no need to do hardware replacement... can anyone point me to a tool/step-by-step guide to readback and save a flashable rom image from GR3 phone, and a SP tools that works with GR3 chipset/PCB?
Hi, i have a TAG-L01 and i got the same problem, i've tried a lot with no lucky, it seems sp flash tool don't support our device(or is huawei that don't want).
If you have some ideas please tell me, i will help(our devices are exactly the same, all TAG-Lxx are the same)
Hello
I have a TAG-L23. I was able to install the TRWP recovery mentioned in previous posts. But I do need the Stock ROM, since I am not able to start the phone. It is allways rebooting. any idea where to find the ROM? maybe cesarr4 can do a backup on TWRP from his second phone and we can load it. just make a backup in the recovery and Zip it, then you may share it.

Hi all bv9000 pro Users!
Recently I went on a journey to root this awesome rugged phone with one purspose: to remove that F*@(#&$ god awful loud annoying sound triggered by the OS when you use a camera app to take a picture + the boot startup sound (A bug blackview hasn't gotten around to fixing).
I successfully managed to port TWRP 3.1.1 from the Blackview bv8000 Pro and run it on the Blackview bv9000 Pro-f!
I've then managed to flash in Magisk to gain root access.
DISCLAIMER: I do not take responsibility for any bricked phones caused by the process, do so at your own risk (yadayadayada).
NOTE 1: Although I've got it running on the bv9000 Pro-F, this image should also work for the non-fullHD version, if someone can test this I'd be happy.
The link to the stock ROM (with the modified recovery img) can be found in the post below.
NOTE 2: No need to download anything other than what I've listed, Magisk is included in my custom recovery to circumvent the need to load the devices encrypted storage (or any other external storage) nothing stops you from mounting external usb storage.
What you'll need:
- USB Mouse (As there is no touchscreen input support, your device should have come with a usb-c otg cable so there's no problem here!)
- MediaTek SP Flash tools (I'd recommend the latest version) https://spflashtool.com/
- unlocked bootloader (You should be able to do this via the developer settings -> unlock OEM Bootloader)
EDIT: To unlock the boot loader, do the following:
1) Go to settings -> unlock OEM Bootloader (tick)
2) plug your device in (assuming you have ADB installed), use adb to access fastboot via. command prompt:
"adb reboot bootloader"
Then once the device is rebooted into fastboot mode
"fastboot oem unlock"
KEEP IN MIND THIS WILL REMOVE ANY FILES, so back them up
- I've done this with windows, but you should be able to repeat with linux no problems!
- A little patience
Pre-preparation:
First install any updates and back up your data (it's just easiest to use the google cloud backup as restoring becomes easy as pie, updating also fixes the setup wizard crashing on first setup). This is necessary because OTA updates cannot be performed with TWRP recovery, and flashing TWRP before doing OTA updates will flick the device into a recovery boot loop.
Install the SP Flash tools, and the MediaTek VCOM Drivers
(I won't link the specifics here, a quick google search should be able to help you, just note you might need to disable driver signature enforcement)
Two options for flashing:
1)
My Full Stock ROM already pre-prepared for flashing:
Patched ROM
No need for extra prep here! you should just be able to load the scatter
2)
My custom patched TWRP stock rom: recovery-verified.img
Blackiew's stock rom: stock rom
- Download the stock rom, backup the recovery-verified.img in the R06 folder, and then replace it with my custom patched TWRP stock rom (file name should be the same).
- Run "CheckSum_Gen.exe" once you replaced the file, it will generate the necessary checksum to allow SP flash tools to successfully flash recovery.
Once you've done with the pre-prep, switch off your device, take a deep breath and you're ready to go!
Steps!
1) Load up SP Flash Tools, select the android scatter file you've downloaded in the R06 folder
2) Select Download Only (I MEAN IT, FORMATTING WILL REMOVE YOUR IMEI AND RENDER THE PHONE USELESS)
3) Deselect everything but recovery (You only want to flash this)
4) Hit download
https://pasteboard.co/HkufwZZ.png
5) Hold volume up + power and plug in your phone, keep the volume up button held
6) very quickly the flash should be complete, and you should be greeted with a big ol' green tick to verify
https://pasteboard.co/HkuiTBB.png
7) Once you're done, remove your USB cable, plug in the OTG then we proceed to flash magisk
8) Hold power + volume up until you reach the bootloader, then use the menu to select recovery
9) You *should* be greeted with the TWRP recovery screen (Which is great success! )
DON'T PANIC IF YOU CANNOT USE THE TOUCH SCREEN, the kernel I've patched is missing this, seems the driver is different between touch screens, just plug in your OTG mouse to continue from here!
10) Use your mouse to first hit cancel, we don't need to decrypt the user data storage.
11) But oh no! it's all in Russian (no problem, Next step sorts that)
12) Use your mouse to navigate the menus as shown here to change to English! (or your preferred language) Change Language
13) Click install, then navigate up folder levels until you are in the root directory
14) scroll down and click on Magisk.zip, install it, allow it to install any apps as system apps (because this will then install to the system image, not the userdata)
15) reboot the phone (if it hasn't rebooted already)
16) You should be able to boot into your usual phones OS, if you don't see Magisk listed in your phone apps, just download it from here:
Magisk Manager
17) Congratulations! You should have complete root access :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Feel free to express your thanks, or list any problems you have, but keep in mind my studies take all my life, so I may not be able to help with all the problems you have
Congrats! Would it work on the BV9000 HD version?
Hi!
From what I've seen they both run the helio p25 chip
(Just a difference in RAM size) so it should.
You're more than welcome to try.
Just keep a backup of the original ROMs recovery. If something goes wrong during the boot to recovery you can easily re flash
hi i tried both optinos but they didn't work for me
I tried the first and the second options and it was showed me same error:
ERROR: STATUS INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER(0XC0010007)
I tried download only, format all and download, if i install original ROM its installing without problems!
In settings-> developer options -> OEM unlocking is enabled
can someone give me tips if I'm doing something wrong. thanks
My phone is Blackview BV9000PRO-F
Hello,
i have the blackview 9000 pro Hd (not full hd)
i first tried your prepared patched rom = not working (get erorrers in step 6)
then i chose step 2 and i was thinking to use the stock rom from the NOT full hd rom
now i get a green screen from the flashing: but after rebooting in recovery nothing happens, just normal reboot then
perhaps this is not so clair for me:
- Download the stock rom, backup the recovery-verified.img in the R06 folder, and then replace it with my custom patched TWRP stock rom (file name should be the same).
- Run "CheckSum_Gen.exe" once you replaced the file, it will generate the necessary checksum to allow SP flash tools to successfully flash recovery.
the file name you posted here " My custom patched TWRP stock rom: recovery-verified.img" is ramdisk-recovery.img
i replaced the ramdisk-recovery.img... it is not clair need to replace recovery-verified.img to?

Hi, you need to unlock the OEM bootloader, if this is still locked it will prevent the flashing of custom ROMS.
I might've missed this step, will update post as necessary.

Hi,
I've uploaded the wrong file, the uploaded file should be recovery-verified.img.
I'm uploading a new file and will correct the link now,

I already did this step:
Enable developer options-> OEM unlocking is enabled
Is that enough for this MTK phone to be unlocked the bootloader ?
And tried the both options but the results are same.
I have been unlocking bootloaders on many phones but first time MTK phones. If i try with adb commands it recognize when is in the android with command adb devices and show my device but if I try reboot bootloader and check in device manager in windows its show its connected and drives are correct but if i try to show the devices, it doesn't show any device connected
Hi,
You need to install fastboot drivers once it's in bootloader mode,
then use fastboot, not adb.
"fastboot oem unlock"
Then follow instructions.
simply doing settings -> oem unlock won't unlock the bootloader, it allows you to do so later via. fastboot
Check the original post, I've added the extra instructions sorry about the confusion!
Thanks a lot. I finally succeeded to unlock the bootloader and root my phone and install the magisk.. I did without use your rom just I unlocked the bootloader and install your twrp file and after in the recovery mode i format the data and istall magic and i still have the last updated android.
I hope this it ill help to other people. Cheers

Congratulations .... I need a tip,.
And, brother, thank you very much. Worked perfectly.
But first I would like to get you a tip ..
One of the main reasons I have done all this complicated process was to be able to disable the crap of the loud music that plays when the device is started.
I want complete silence at startup.
How do I disable this ****?

Hi guys, lemme apologize for disappearing, life and whatnot!
For those stuck in a TWRP boot loop, simply restoring the original recovery then restarting the phone will be enough to fix the problem.
(Actually you really don't need TWRP after the phone is rooted, maybe I should update the guide?)
Many Thanks
First off, thank you for your hard work. Loved the "**** it we have an OTG cable let's use it" haha. It works fine for me.
Second, do you happen to know if someone has ported Oreo on our bv9000 ? Or do you know of any ETA ?
Thanks again,
Cheers
Anyone tried on the BV9000 Pro? Don't think mine is 'F' OR 'Fhd'.... I must have first model brought out...
Ugh.. Windows and Drivers?!?!
I keep getting Driver not Recognized in Windows 7 Pro X86.
I installed the latest vcom/usb drivers, in legacy also. No Go.
I installed from several other sources the drivers, including the Automatic Mediatek driver install. No Go.
So if anyone has a tip for me, please let me know because once more Windows is proving itself ridiculous. I can't even get to the storage of my phone. Did something change with a Windows Update that it's not allowed anymore?
I put my BV9000 Pro in OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. I backupped everything. My phone is ready for it. It's as ready as Amy having coitus with Sheldon for the first time.
