Then download this file and store it on your phone (Rooted ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1945558
Then, download the CWMR 5 OR Touch 6 from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1766533
Put CWMR md5 in Odin 1.85's PDA slot and then run (make sure phone is in Imaging Recovery mode again).
Then, once that is done, you can boot into CWMR by holding the volume down button and pressing the power button.
Then, navigate to the Rooted ROM that you saved on your phone and "Install zip from sdcard"
You will now have root.
but i cannot gain rooted room download will stop when i download about 10 percent.
as for CWMR 5 page, i do not know which download files i should download.
if you can , please send me needed files to [email protected]
No need to post another thread.
The problem you are having is that you have a connection problem trying to download the ROM. Use a different internet connection. Never try to download a ROM with your phone. Try downloading with a computer instead and transferring to your phone.
For CWM5/6, you can use this link: http://ubuntuone.com/2O7eQhjVdisrOVwJ96Kzky
Maybe try an internet cafe or ask a friend to download it for you. This is a problem that is related to your internet -- not to "how to install."
i cannot download after all ... by asking my friend
please help me with sending rooted rom file to [email protected] :crying:
That is too large of a file to send and that is too much to ask of someone. You need to find another way to get it.

[TIPS] ROOTING and FLASHING anything on P8000 WITHOUT PC
Hi guys, I found a method to root and flash anything on my P8000 without unlock the bootloader, use SP Flash Tool and even use PC. I tried to go this way because I was not able to get my P8000 recognized by Flash Tool nor as a MTP (mass storage) device in any Windows 7 laptop. I decided to write this post because no-one over the net talks about alternative method of rooting Elephone P8000.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for ANY damage (software or hardware of any type) caused to your device, remember that I'm not a developer, and I'm only reporting my personal experience. DON'T try to flash rom linked below on other devices or flash roms which are not compatible with P8000.
Rooting and flashing process may VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
LET'S START.
1) DOWNLOAD THE STUFF: download everything directly through the browser of your P8000.
-TWRP recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8g....7.0_v.4_1.zip
-Custom Rom: choose the rom you prefer from the link below and download it directly in your smartphone, my favorite one is Nexus rom:
-Eragon rom:http://www.needrom.com/download/eragon-3-for-p8000/
-CyanogenMod 12.1: http://www.needrom.com/download/stab...nogenmod-12-1/
-Mokee OS: http://www.needrom.com/download/mokeeos-2/
-EMUI V3.1 : http://www.needrom.com/download/emui...lite-stable-2/
-NEXUS rom v2.4: http://www.needrom.com/download/nexus-10/
-Flyme rom: http://www.needrom.com/download/p800...5-3-15082-5-1/
-Gapps: if you choose to install Nexus rom. or Mokee OS or CyanogenMod 12.1, you may need to install google apps also if you want google services and play store to run on your device. Click on the link from the browser of your device. Select ARM_64, then 5.1, and than "pico" and click on the button to download: http://opengapps.org/. If you need others apps download them from the play store.
2) ROOT YOUR P8000.
Use an app called Kingroot, but you will not find it on play store. Get it from the link below:
http://kingroot.it.uptodown.com/android
Download the app directly using the browser on your smartphone, then install and open.
Skip the tutorial and click on "Root device". Wait the process to be done (few minutes) and don't be scared if the device reboots. This app is able to root the most of android devices, but not the 100% is compatible.
3)UNZIP THE RECOVERY:
Install an app knows as RAR from play store, than open it and navigate to the directory where the twrp recovery zip is contained (usually "download" folder). Open the zip and extract the IMG file contained in it into the same folder.
4)INSTALL FLASHIFY.
You can find this app on the play store, or you may download it from the link below:
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/pqLDpS5F/file.html. Open the app and grant superuser permissions, than accept the agreement.
Click on "Recovery image", than "choose a file" and than "downloads", select the IMG file of the recovery you extracted before and wait for the process to finish, a message will appear. This app can be used on any android device that is compatible, but flash only IMG and zip files specific for your model. Now we can install the Rom or any zip file you want through the twrp recovery.
5) NANDROID BACKUP:
Power off your P8000 and than boot into recovery mode. To do this press and hold power button and volume up at the same time, release them when white writings appear. Press volume app button to select "recovery mode" and than volume down to enter recovery mode.
Swipe the bar to allow system modifications, click on " backup" and select every partition displayed, then choose where the backup file will be stored and write the name you want to give to the backup file.
Swipe the bar to start and wait untill the process finishes ( few minutes). Press the back button to return to the main menu.
6) INSTALL ROMS OR OTHER ZIPS:
Before Installing a new rom you need to wipe many partitions of the device, from the main menu select "wipe" and "Advanced wipe", then select the partitions that you may wipe: system, data, cache.
Swipe to wipe and wait the process to finish (few minutes) an then press back button to return to main menu.
Now click on "install" and select "internal sorage" among the options, navigate and select the "download" folder where your downloaded zip files are(rom and gapps in this case). Select the zip that you want to install ( the rom in our case), swipe to confirm and wait few minutes, than press back and install the gapps zip as well.
At the end of the process click on "reboot system" and wait for the smartphone to reboot.
The first time it will take more time than a usual reboot (from 5 minutes to 10 minutes).
I hope this article will help you out!
Please forgive me for my bad english.
It's wrong that nobody over the internet talked about the method. I talked about this method in the last command at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/general/tutorial-flash-root-update-elephone-t3248742.

Yeah but nobody explained how to do it completely without using PC.
I thought this method of flashing ROMs with recoveries (philz, cm, twrp etc...) was common knowledge? I've been flashing ROMs like this since my HTC evo days. Isn't that the whole point to having a third party recovery?

Hi do you speak italian?
Can you learning Moore?

EDIT: included rough procedures for OEM unlocking, and updated link to recovery-verified.img (Sorry for uploading the wrong file ><)
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.

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.
HI,
I obtained a nokia 6.1 recently.
I had the bootloader unlocked.
I then went to flash the latest ( official) lineage 17
I did all the usual stuff ( i am not a stranger to installing custom roms ), and then tried to temporarily boot into twrp, in order to flash the lineage zip.
I was using the twrp as recommended on lineage site for this device ( nokia 6.1 TA 1050 )
For some reason, after using fastboot boot twrp.img, ( I renamed the image) the phone just booted back to android one screen.?
I could use power/vol up, to get out and back to existing installation, but nothing else.
I then tried temporarily booting the lineage recovery. ( according to the lineage installation instructions)
This involves using a combination of ''fastboot flash boot'' and hardware keys to get there
This worked fine - and I was able to sideolad the lineage zip.
Problem is, if I want to flash images , and do other stuff the lineage recovery cant, i need twrp ( even temporarily).
After installing lineage 17, I tried again to get into twrp, with the same (non) results.
I was wonderinfg if I was getting confused about slots.
I believed that booting twrp temporarily would boot to the right slot? - maybe not.
I then decided to do fastboot flash boot_a, ( etc, ) and then fastboot flash boot_b, ( etc ) to make sure it would boot off either slot. With hindsight, this was dumb
That got me twrp., but lost me the ability to boot into the lineage installation.
After a bit of a panic, I managed to get back to my lineage install.
I have tried since to temporarily boot twrp ( not to both slots ), and am still getting the same results- it boots to the android one screen, and just sits there.
But - if I try to get to recovery using the hardware buttons, I can get to Lineage recovery - which I find strange, because I thought official lineage packages did not install their recovery by default?
Makes me wonder when I thought I had booted lineage recovery temporarily, that maybe I hadn't, and I just booted into a pre installed recovery using the hardware method.
I am probably doing something stupid ( quite common for me ), can anyone enlighten me ?
Many Thanks

Yes - it appears that if you cannot boot into twrp temporarily , then this worked for me!
--at your own risk---
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
This will FAIL - but ignore and then right after,
fastboot boot <filename> .img
Voila - boots into TWRP temporarily.

A lot of people rooted are having issues with DEX with either systemUI closing, systemuidex closing or the app only staying open on PC pr TV for a few seconds.
Please can anyone who is rooted please let me know if they can access DEX and if so - is it working for you?
Please show a pic of magisk front screen with version number and state your exact rooting procedure
Hopefully we can then find out what is breaking dex
UNLESS anyone knows what sort of log may diagnose the issue? I have a dumpstate/logcat but not sure what part im looking at

We're do I get root how to for the u version
The only version that is rooted is the B version. The international, European, and North American versions are not able to be rooted.
We have root on the B variant
I believe the issue is related to having the "Data" folder being decrypted - This "Decrypting" process is on step # 4 under the 2nd process "PROCESS IF COMING FROM STOCK A12"
I have tried the process without the "Formatting the data" step which allows me to boot with root + Dex working. The only issue is that I'm limited to storage, It's fixed to 32gb out of the original size(512gb). Is there a way to resolve the limited storage issue?
Note: If we decrypt the data(Format data via twrp), we are restricted to:
- Cannot share pics in Samsung Gallary
- Dex's system ui constantly crashes
- Cannot install apps such as games that requires external downloads from installing an apk
- GMail cannot download embed files from an email
- ETC anything related to storage within the data, we cannot access/delete/edit when the data is decrypted

Thats some great info thanks very much
although that would also effect the download and install of Magisk potentially and that works - do you have an example of an app or game doing this so i can test?
i can confirm i cannot share pics directly from gallery but can within apps such as telegram
Downloading docs from Gmail is buggered
Dex is RIP.
@ianmacd do you think there is something we could be missing - we are effectively doing the disabler's job manually on F926B and its not unreasonable to think we may have missed something - could running the multidisabler be useful to see if it picks something up (even if it completely breaks things) so that we can then do the required modification manually?

No sharing issues , and 100% working DEX
I used your BL file , extracted recovery from your AP File to make an Odin flashable TWRP.tar to sideload and flash your app-debug.zip

whats your internal storage size? and have you reset device since you last managed to get this working?
Yes , I have reseted the phone.
When flashing to stock I used CSC ( the one that wipes data )
Did a stock recovery factory reset and also format data when I used the twrp recovery .
There is something with wrong with your AP file Bro , because I first used that file , and I tried the camera and had the sharing issue . Same happened with your older build , So I think the problem is there.
I Have the 256gb version

Ok sounds promising
Please can you provide a step by step procedure here and if i can replicate it i will amend the first post and files in the rooting thread
looks like formatting in TWRP could be the issue then - and we need to format at a different stage? (please still provide full process)

Yes , do that factory reset from stock recovery .
I also think the twrp format is not working as expected
edit : about the full process...
I ended again in a mess , and did several random stuff (as I got stuck some times in Download mode)
But .. If you ask me what I think that works , it would be like this:
1. Flash odin to stock , NOT using HOME_CSC
2. Do the initial setup (usb debugging and OEM status ( if shown ) checked
3. Flash odin the BL file , and TWRP.tar
4. TWRP , format ( I think nothing happened in this step ), reboot to TWRP , sideload and flash app-debug.zip
5. Reboot to download mode and flash stock recovery , and do the factory reset there ( at this step I tought I woud lose the previously flashed magisk stuff , but that didnt happen, and I got booted & rooted )
******
So I'm sure the BL file helped me to flash TWRP , because I tried it alone (TWRP) and it didn't work ( got bootloops ending in download mode ).
What I didn't try , now that Im reading myself , was to do a factory reset from stock , after doing that initial setup , and tried to flash that TWRP file right after that.

Stock recovery now
I can try to flash twrp , and can go back to stock recovery if it doesnt work

the key is that if you install TWRP now and dex and file sharing etc etc is still working then i need to look at these files
As far as im aware = the DEX issues are a result of having TWRP installed

Well, then I can try to install twrp , and launch DEX to see how it goes
Be right back and let you know
edit :
Flashed TWRP successfully !
No sharing issues , Dex working fine !

ok so i am now rooted with stock recovery and everything is working - Dex, sharing etc etc
so i am missing TWRP
please can you go into finer detail into what you then did to install TWRP i need to have as much information as possible - please also confirm if you can mount data and flash files in TWRP if not then there is not really much point in having TWRP installed - i am thinking this is unlikely as you have not disabled forcencryption
I have managed to follow this far
1. Flash odin to stock , NOT using HOME_CSC
2. Do the initial setup (usb debugging and OEM status ( if shown ) checked
3. Flash odin the BL file , and TWRP.tar
4. TWRP , format ( I think nothing happened in this step ), reboot to TWRP , sideload and flash app-debug.zip
5. Reboot to download mode and flash stock recovery , and do the factory reset there ( at this step I tought I woud lose the previously flashed magisk stuff , but that didnt happen, and I got booted & rooted )
I am now rooted with stock recovery - i find it hard to see how we can just install TWRP and use it normally and mount /data without having to at least destroy user data each boot as forcencrypt has NOT been disabled
what is making things far too hard is a process that follows things like this:

there are just too many variables - for instance, forceencryption could have been disabled without you realizing when doing the random bits - did you reflash my AP files at any point?

I agree with you about the variables
In short
I was rooted with stock BL6 and twrp
So I flashed to this newest stock , and tried to keep my setup and get rooted again
I flashed HOMECSC and after that gave a shot with newest twrp ( to flash newest app-debug.zip )
I ended with a download mode bootloop
So I used your guide with your files , everything went fine .. except for the sharing and dex issues
This is when the forceencryption could have been disabled , exactly !
Then , I did the steps above , back to 100% stock ( steps above ) , without your AP File this time .
TWRP , is useless at this point , it cant mount data , it is the same behaviour as with BL6 version
Edit : Nice that you could replicate it !

Thanks for the info
looks like using TWRP at a starting point is the only way thats going to be of any use - rooted stock is the way forward!!!
