Okay guys,
I spent a whole day yesterday to exterminate lame SONY's firmware, and get a refreshment alternation
so I gathered all tutorials, which I had followed to give my Xperia S new soul, and made this all-in-one tutorial for anyone, who's not sure how to do it.
Big thank to DooMLoRD, who's is making all this awesome tools and stuff to make our Xperias alive again.
Before proceding, Your Xperia S should run on the latest official Sony's firmware (6.2.b.1.96). Otherwise...otherwise you probably ought to update it to the latest version.
Here are the links to the sites I used. I also recommend you to check them out, because there may be a more recent version of a file:

1. Bootloader unlock
Checking (source: JuniorMember's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44713761&postcount=14)
1.1.1. In dial pad, type in *#*#7378423#*#*
1.1.2.Go to Service Info > Configuration
1.1.3. And check the Rooting Status
If it's Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes/No, then its not unlocked. If it says NO, you're not able to unlock it.
And if it's Bootloader unlocked:Yes, then it's (already) unlocked.
Unlocking (source: DooMLoRD's tutorial)
[ before we begin unlocking bootloader ]
1.2.1 Get the IMEI code for your device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out; note only the digits (no dashes)
1.2.2 Download the fastboot package with usb drivers (alternate drivers if the ones in package dont work OR this)
IMPORTANT: if you are using Windows 8 you will need to enable few things to allow driver installation
1.2.3.Make sure you have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
1.2.4.Power down your phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC; this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder.
If a phone enters but does not stay in a fastboot mode:I had that kind of problem, but I'm not sure how I actually fixed it; I only remember I did that:
1.2.4.1. Download and install Flashtool . After Installing, go to the folder where fastboot is installed and look for drivers folder; there you'll find Flashtool-drivers.exe. Install that: Be aware that there are Flashboot and Fastboot drivers at the bottom or at the top of the list Check also your phone's name.
1.2.4.2. If still does not work go to Device manager, trigger fastboot mode, connect to your computer, and quickly (when S1 Boot or sth like that appers in Device Manager) click with right mouse button (go to properties), then update driver and point to (usb_driver) folder in fastboot_with_Android_USB_file folder -> step 1.3.6.
1.2.5. Once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device
[ how to unlock ] (official way)
1.3.1 First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu: steps 1.1.1 - 1.1.3
1.3.2 Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
1.3.3 At the bottom click 'Start Unlocking the Bootloader'. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Continue" You will get numerous prompts, read all info and if you agree, click on "Accept"/"OK"/"Proceed"
1.3.4 Finally you will get a "Create Unlock request" page, enter your IMEI (sometimes the last digit needs to be removed for this to work), name and email address
1.3.5 You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
1.3.6 Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
1.3.7 Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder Select 'Open command window here'
1.3.8 Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
1.3.9 In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
1.3.10 If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
1.3.11 Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
1.3.12 You're device should now be bootloader unlocked. You can check by followin steps 1.1.1 - 1.1.3.
2. Root (source: DooMLoRD's tutorial)
2.3.1 Download the three files from the download section in this post.
2.3.2 Open FlashTool and flash the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.36 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable.
2.3.3 How to flash Put XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf to firware folder, which you can find in Fastboot's installation folder. Then hit the lighting strike, select Flashboot mode and select the kernel and hit flash and follow instructions how to enter flashmode.
2.3.4 Now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
2.3.5 CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP (Very very very important step it took me some time to figure out its meaning)
2.3.6 Extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of DooMLoRDs easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
2.3.7 the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
2.3.8 after rooting is over the device will restart
2.3.9 you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
2.3.10 once that's done, power down device and open FlashTool again
2.3.11 now flash XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.33 MB file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
that's it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone! Check with Root Checker app from GPlay.
3. CWM Recovery (source: hm9408's thorough version of DooMLoRD's tutorial)
3.1 Go to google play and download busybox. Once installed, open the app and tap install Also, make sure, you have SuperSU installed.
3.2. This should be relatively easy now. Your phone is now rooted, and you will now flash CWM Recovery on your phone. For this, hm9408 found a quick installer by DooMLoRD.
3.3 Just extract it anywhere, run it (cwm-install-en.bat, press Enter 3 times and it will start) while your phone is connected via USB, and you should be just fine. I had to do this step twice, because I didn't know you have to grant something with SuperSU. So during the process, watch the phone's screen.
3.4 You know CWM was flashed correctly when you shut down your phone, turn it on and your see the LED turns on BLUE when the Sony logo comes up. When it does, press the Volume Up button and the LED should turn GREEN for a couple of seconds, then boot into Recovery.
4. Installing custom ROM and gapps (google apps)
There's a link toCyanogenMod 11 beta 3 by RaymanFX which has already included kernel.
Other ROMs may not have included kernel, so you'll have to (1) flash it with Flastool, if it has kernel extension or (2) install it via recovery, it it has .zip extension.
4.1 Copy your ROM and gapps (their extensions have to be .zip.
4.2 Boot into recovery (step 3.4).
4.3 Navigate (with volume + and -, and power to select) to install zip, then select the file of you rom, install it, then install also the gapps by selecting the gapps.zip.
4.4. This is the most important step, DO NOT SKIP IT AT ALL COSTS For God's sake, in the main menu, wipe the cache and partitions and dalvik's cache. (I'm not sure if it's available to wipe dalvik's cache, but if it is, wipe it).
I forgot to wipe, and, holy cow, almost lost my pants, because phone didn't start, there was only sony's logo, slowly passing away again and again.
Well if that happens, look for an Xperia S firmware (e.g.) and appropriate kernel (e.g.), flash them via flashtool and wipe your sweat .
I think for a 2 years old phone, everybody should already know how to do this.
Or i think most of the people here on Xperia S XDA do already know how to do this.

I've had it for 2 years, but spent a whole day yesterday to install CM, because I struggled with fastboot drivers for 4hs, then 1h to root it, then another 2hs to properly install CWMrecovery, because I didn't know I have to have BusyBox installed and then I didn't wipe the cache and had to do everything again. And don't say me everybody should know that, because there are people who does not even try to do that, because then don't konw where to start and nothing.
Cheers!

It takes you one hour once you exactly know how to do it and in case you already have all files downloaded.
And about tutorials: they're often incomplete. In my case, I struggled with finding drivers for fastboot and making them work 4hs. The unlock tutorial says to install one drivers then try another, but none of them worked. So it took me time to search forums and find something out. Here, I wrote what I'd done, so anyone else would know what to do.
Edit: every tutorial about unlocking says Windows should report unsuccessful installation when you connect the device in fast boot mode. Well, my didn't report that, so I wasn't able to point to the usb_folder. And then phone booted up after 5secs in fastboot.

no it took me hour to search for tutuorials (doom has for root and for unlocking BL too), read that, backup TA partiton, unlock, root, flash... DONE
I needed an whole afternoon, too! If you have to read everything from beginning and you are not able even to deal with the technical terms it needs long time. So, if I wouldn't have done it before, this tutorial would have been very useful to me :good:

Well okay. Then write that down to a paper and stick it to a mirror, so you'll see your extraordinary achievement every time you wake up, and be proud of yourself, cause you did all that for the fisrt time in only one hour, although everyone else needed an afternoon. You're probably the smartest person I've ever seen, cause you apparently do magic :good:
Repair shops should totally hire you, since they often need an eternity to do their job.

i only wanted to say that this thread is completely unnecessary.. this phone is more than 2 years old... last update was i think 1year ago.. so there is nothing new... tutorials for unlocking BL (2nd March 2012) and for rooting (17th June 2013) are here for more than a year...and tutorial for instaling CM you can find in almost every CM thread... thats all I wanted to say :victory:... have a nice day
It is kinda necessary..
Some people still dont know how to flash these roms...And then end up spamming other threads...:/

Your method is long and unnecessarily beating around the bush. Here's a much quicker way (how I did it in less than half an hour):
1) Copy the ROM zip to your internal storage
2) Unlock bootloader with Sony's info on their site.
3) Extract boot.img from the ROM zip / kernel zip.
4) In fastboot mode,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
5) Go into recovery while it's rebooting, wipe everything & flash the ROM zip.
TBH, DoomLord's stuff is not required, never really was for me..
Sure, it's good stuff, but not required in this case..
The tutorial is good, it's just unfortunate, is that after more than two years, yet no one has been able to unlock the bootloader problem that allows not be unlocked.

Hey, hey, hey,
where do you type that code in? In terminal emulator on a phone or maybe cmd on a computer? I've seen a lot of tutorials ordering to type a code, but none of them actually explained how and where you have to write it.
Thankss!

You use fastboot.exe or the fastboot binary for linux, same one that you used for unlocking bootloader..
Finding something to type into terminal emulator is pretty rare, and it'll usually be specified that you need to type it there..
Hello all XDA Members and others who are viewing this thread.
I finally found a way to root the IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT MediaTek devices!
I personally used it on Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 MT6592M with 2 Gb RAM 1.4 Ghz Octa Core Processor MT6592M.
Devices that won't be rootable by apps like Kingo Root, Vroot(for a certain time), Framaroot, towelroot etc can be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users can also follow this guide created by The Android Soul for picture tutorial. : Click Here
Note : If you're rooted but want to install CWM then follow this guide to create CWM and flash it via SP Flash Tool or Just copy the created recovery and flash it via Rashr (Download from play store)
Let's get started without wasting time.
Things you'll need MTK Drivers : All MTK Drivers 2014
Your Phone with USB Debugging Mode turned on in Developer Section
Usb Cable and most Important
A Calm head :silly:
A video is already available link is in 1st point.
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"]Warning Rooting Voids warranty. I would in any means not be responsible for dead devices, bricked SD cards or any other activity that leads to damage of your device. If you know the risks still want to continue then go ahead.[/SIZE][/B]
First we would like to load scatter file for our device. Process in the video link in 1st point.
Disconnect the phone's battery (if any) [ IN CASE OF XOLO HIVE JUST SWITCH OFF THE DEVICE THEN WAIT FOR 30 seconds and connect the device ] and then press volume up button and connect it with PC it will connect device in preloader mode.
1) We would like to have a backup of our UNROOTED stock ROM. Download MTK Droid Tools (Google it) and then use this method to backup your UNROOTED stock ROM. It is basically Read Back method from SP Flash tool Follow this video tutorial : How to backup unrooted stock ROM
Warning : Please do not continue this tutorial if your device has fake information or any kind of restriction or ubifs file system or you'll brick the device. You have been warned.
This is a text guide for the video :
2) After backup extract the firmware you created using MTK Droid Tools. Process given in video.
3)Now when you get boot.img for your device you're good to go
4) Open MTK Droid tools with administrative privileges and make sure your phone is connected and then migrate to root,backup,recovery tab and click the option to choose boot.img from and locate your stock boot image and make a CWM recovery from it.
5) Wait for process to complete and then check recovery folder inside MTK Droid tools folder. There you'll find two files
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]XXXX_bootpatched.img & XXXX_recovery.img[/B][/COLOR]
6) Now open SP flash tool and load the MTKXXXX_Android_scatter_txt and untick every option except for boot.img and recovery.img. Then click on both tabs and locate the modified images created by MTK Droid tools which can be found in recovery folder itself if you haven't moved them.
7) Make sure your phone isn't connected at this time and then hit download button in SP Flash Tool and then with phone's battery removed with volume up button pressed connect it to PC and then flash process will begin. After completion you'll see a green circle at that point disconnect your phone and switch it on. Don't disturb the phone until flashing completes and you see a green circle.
Congratulations! You have CWM Recovery for your device without ROOT!
ROOTING
1) Now download this zip file and flash it via CWM Recovery. SuperSU.zip and reboot.
Congo many will get root access now but not Xolo HIVE You do need to flash this zip. Users that don't get root after flashing supersu zip can also continue further.
2) Download Vroot from here and install it.
3) Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and wait till it detects your device.
4) Now click root button and voila you're rooted!
Now reboot and you'll see the superuser app Now you'll have two Superuser apps (NOT XOLO HIVE USERS) SuperSU from flash and Superuser from Vroot. Not to worry just open SuperSU and it will automatically ask to remove the other Superuser app choose that and reboot and you're done
Luckily those who don't want or find complication in SP Tool Read back method, just download the stock ROM for your device and extract boot.img from it and then follow same steps from 4th step at the beginning from where to create CWM for your device.
I suggest use androidxda.com for most stock ROM's.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users don't Panic I have your CWM and Boot image ready Just download from here : Xolo HIVE Recovery.img
Xolo HIVE Boot Patched.img.
KINDLY DON'T MIRROR MY FILES. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE GIVE THIS LINK TO PEOPLE.
Xolo HIVE users I saved your work upto step 5 from step 6 ,i.e, flashing you need to do manually
I know it's a long and complicated process but it is only method working until a new exploit is available to root the impossible mtk devices.
Conisder me a donation if you can as it will help me to make more guides and apps
If you cant donate hit thanks :good:
That won't cost you!
EDIT : I am adding Xolo MT6592 scatter file too in case you can't generate it. Remember to load scatter file uncheck all options leaving boot.img and recovery.img then flash the boot and recovery I provided ONLY XOLO HIVE USERS

bro i want to ask you about the scatter file, because you have not provided that and it is most useful. i have a xolo hive 8x 1000 and when i am trying to generate scatter file then this error comes. and i have read that this can brick the phone. And the person in the video you suggested in step 1 also said in his video not to proceed if any error comes. so please help.
Scatter file can be easily made :?
You just have to click block path tab it won't brick :/
Also I have provided Xolo HIVE recovery and bootpatched file! Just download this and flash it via SP Flash Tool! You can create scatter yourself! Watch the video!
Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and connect to PC and let mtk droid tools read it.When it does then you click on blocks map tab!

And if u have rooted your xolo 8x 1000 then please provide a video link or tutorial. Thnxx
What above I wrote is tutorial only
Switch off the phone open sp flash tools load scatter file and uncheck all boxes excluding boot.img and recovery.img make sure you downloaded the recovery.img and boot.img I attached in the post, just locate my given recovery.img and boot.img and click download button on sp flastool then connect your phone while u keep the volume up button pressed. Now the process will begin and it will give a green circle on successful completion. Switch on the device install vroot on PC I gave link in thread then just connect your phone with USB debugging on and then wait for Vroot to detect the phone then click root and you're done.

Well nothing worked for Xolo Hive if you read my guide too. Flashing SuperSU.zip ends up in a infinite binary update with failure
can you please root xolo 8x-1100
i also don't have pc
I certainly have helped rooting Xolo 8x-1100 and 8x-1200 to a member.
You need PC for flashing boot.img and recovery.img, Sorry my friend: (
Or try rooting via towelroot first then tell me if you succeed.
Also download your stock ROM from here and send me the recovery.img from it follow this link and download : Xolo Play 8x-1100 stock rom

Yes the bootloader obviously should be unlocked before you do the flashing stuff!Flashtool works for me and the state of usb debugging never affected its functionality ! Make sure you have all the drivers properly installed!

Dude one more simple doubt. Is it possible for you to tell me how to install the drivers in my win 7?
Now I am facing another problem. I just tried to restore my xperia m dual c2005. But it didn't go well. I saw my xperia waves got stucked. So i just removed my battery an replaced it. When I switched on my phone it only shows SONY logo. I tried to repair my software by using PCC and Xperia Companion. It shows error messages. Then i showed it to a mobile service agent in a local mobile shop. He told me that m dual c2005 model had a sony only memory. So they cannot do it because the memory can't be re-writeted in this model. Is that true? Or is there any other better option to resolve my phone's issue?
Please help me bro....:crying:

Dude one more simple doubt. Is it possible for you to tell me how to install the drivers in my win 7?
Now I am facing another problem. I just tried to restore my xperia m dual c2005. But it didn't go well. I saw my xperia waves got stucked. So i just removed my battery an replaced it. When I switched on my phone it only shows SONY logo. I tried to repair my software by using PCC and Xperia Companion. It shows error messages. Then i showed it to a mobile service agent in a local mobile shop. He told me that m dual c2005 model had a sony only memory. So they cannot do it because the memory can't be re-writeted in this model. Is that true? Or is there any other better option to resolve my phone's issue?
Please help me bro....:crying:

To Install the drivers
I think you might be able to solve this problem! The problem is with your partitions.So follow:
first of all install fastboot and adb drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
go to device manager and verify that and android device interface or something like that appears.
If it doesnt then s1 boot device will appear as unknown device , right click on that and update device driver and then select the option let me pick from drivers on my computer .
After that select android device then dont select anything , itll get autoselected and click next!
now your device should appear in device manager!
To restore the system completely
Install a recovery for the device by the following procedure :
first download twrp from https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiam.html, rename it to recovery.img
go to cmd with admin rights in the folder in which recovery is put
(flash the recovery in boot sector)
type :
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
now boot the phone up the recovery should automatically open up, it may get stuck for some time but only once it will so be patient,;
go to wipe, then advanced wipe! select every option and micro sd,internal storage and usb-otg are optional
then swipe to wipe , it will show that it failed but dont worry some partitions are of sort that they show error now after this the problem should be resolved , after this flash a rom of your choice or restore a dual stock firmware backup (note: you cannot restore backups which were made from cwm , for that flash philz or cwm recovery)
Please report and hit thanks if i helped you!

The country doesnt matter you may flash any country's generic rom,mine was indian but I flashed brazillian..
And about the flashtool I dont think emma is good , i prefer flashtool any version...if you find the latest not working then you may try the second latest but 99% it does work good..
Most important : You need to connect your device in fastboot before installing drivers and flash the boot partition by those command so go here on how to boot in fastboot mode http://www.theandroidsoul.com/boot-sony-xperia-m-fastboot-mode-51835/
try and report ...

yes you will have to unlock bootloader and for that too i suggest you use flashtool because it does the work in seconds,!

It enables you to flash modes and other cool stuff! even if you dont wanna do that then dont touch it !flash a cyanogenmod recovery,which is quite basic and wont modify anything that may harm your phone...

taking firmware backup doesn't void your device warranty. instead this process doesn't require rooting or unlocked bootloader :fingers-crossed:
isn't it possible to do a spflashtool readback if we have a scatter file ...
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
My device ( woods)(E4) isn't using this chipset ? shouldn't we try to edit a scatter file from the correct chipset and pulling the block map from adb ?
I want to get a valid scatter to do a readback of an unpatched boot image and stock rom using spflashtools and then patching boot with magisk .
Then we could flash back to stock etc etc ...can any of you who rooted woods use terminal or adb and pull the correct mount points so we can create a scatter for the 2GB/16GB woods variant .

@KevMetal
you can do this by following the main post
it's a miracle dump so obviously you can't make it spflash tool flashable. but our device have newer mtk chipset MT6737M and miracle tool isn't capable of flashing factory images to newer chipset you need a dongle to complete the flashing process. if we make this process more simple than you need to follow these simple steps.
dump firmware with miracle tool. its in .bin format change the extention to .img and this firmware is ready for flashing with fastboot tool.
do not flash these files in fastboot mode *pgpt.img* and "preloader.img*
if you still want to flash pgpt.img the correct way of flashing this file is "fastboot flash partition pgpt.img"
I am unable to backup using this guide as miracle tool fails to detect my phone. I followed the guide thoroughly but the tool shows "Waiting for USB Port..." two times and then "none usbport, maybe driver not installed". My phone shows white LED when I connect it as per instructions in OP.

why did you brick while flashing recovery ? didn't you make a backup before flashing ? either way since there are so many SKU versions it would be better to make your own backup .
if your phone isn't booting after twrp it is because you didn't flash the no dm-verity zip
if the one you got isn't working try the no dm-verity and good instructions for installing in my thread for SKU xt1762 ....
to reboot to recovery hold power and volume down ...you won't go directly to recovery but first to bootloader ...using the volume key "scroll" until you see it says recovery and select that option using power button
when in recovery flash no dm -verify zip
don't flash stock files from my post cos I think they might not be cross compatible between variants for stock only custom roms .
otherwise download a scatter file and stock rom from google and the interwebs and flash your phone using sp flashtools and scatter file .

No, I didn't brick my device. Actually, I wasn't able to backup my stock ROM using this guide, so I flashed TWRP and backed up my stock ROM using that. I just need stock backup so that I can go back to pure stock if required.

if you backed up using twrp why would you need pure stock ? there is very little chance you would need stock recovery and boot because you are way more likely to get Oreo via custom rom .....the backup you made in twrp is more than enough in my opinion ...anyways

The main reason is stock recovery, even stock boot was backed up by TWRP. Stock phones get higher rates while reselling.

You need to press start button in miracle tool not the vol. Down or up or power button any more. As present COM & LPT port disappears a new port has been established as soon as you press the start button in miracle tool. In first attempt COM &LPT contain MTK USB Port driver as soon as it's removed a new port appears, the actual driver software we need MTK Preloader usb com port#7. Hope you understand it very well

Hello guys,
can I use this method for my moto XT1771. My Androind version is 7.1.1 .Thanks.
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.

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,
Please accept my apologies ><

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.
