Please note that this guide was written with information from the below threads, with the intention of making it easier for people to find the necessary information, and unlock their devices. So if you follow this guide, be sure to go and thank their posts:

Why follow this guide?
If your device is locked and you have no unlock attempts left, along with the message 'Network unlock PIN number is entered incorrectly. Contact your Service Provider', then this guide will unlock your device. You can also use this method, if you are too stingy to purchase an unlock / defreeze code for your device.
What to consider before following this guide.
This unlock method basically removes the IMEI number from your device. I have however followed this procedure on 10+ devices without any issues, just be sure to follow the part of the guide where you backup the files.
DISCLAIMER: Proceed with the below instructions at your own risk, I take no responsibility for bricked devices etc.
Prerequisites
1. Download and install Odin3 v1.85
2. Download Samsung USB drivers from here or install Samsung Kies, to install them.
Step 1 - Flashing Rooted Rogers ROM
1. Download the Rooted Rogers ROM (You may need to use Google Translate)
2. Unzip the .tar.bz2 file, you will be using the .tar file inside
3. Put your device into download mode (Turn it off, hold down VOLUME UP + POWER until a warning screen comes up, press VOLUME UP to continue), connect it to your computer
4. Open Odin, click on PDA, navigate to the .tar file (SGH-I927RUXKJ5_STOCK_ROOTED.tar), do not touch anything else, click Start. If the ID:COM field is not yellow, you have a driver issue.
5. Wait until your device finishes flashing and reboots. You will need to download Superuser from the Play Store. If the Superuser app won't open, factory reset the device, then install it again.
Step 2 - Unlocking the Device
1. Download ES File Explorer from the Play Store
2. Go to 'Settings > File Settings', tick 'Show Hidden Files'
3. Go to 'Settings > Root settings', tick 'Root Explorer', click yes on the warning screen, allow the Superuser request
4. Click on 'Home Directory' in the Settings menu and change it to '/'
5. Navigate to /efs/ in the file manager
6. Move the below files to a backup folder on your device (e.g. /mnt/sdcard/BACKUP)
.nv_core.bak
.nv_core.bak.md5
.nv_data.bak
.nv_data.bak.md5
nv_data.bin
7. It would be a smart idea to copy the backup folder somewhere safe on your computer, so that it is not lost when you factory reset the device etc.
8. Reboot your device, it will now be unlocked, though will have a generic IMEI number. This hasn't been an issue for me, with the device connecting to Australian mobile networks. You should now have an unlocked device!
Please click the 'Thanks' button if this thread helped you, and also be sure to thank the posters of the two threads at the top.
Here it is. Full T-mobile With root, wifi calling, bluetooth and volte all working - since this is t-mobile based all bands should work as well
Updated to use API4 System Image and API4 Modem - MyMods has also been updated for the API4 System - Whatever you do DO NOT FLASH the API4 BL file. you will be Stuck on the new firmware without root if you do this as you cannot go back
To Avoid Repeat Questons. READ! READ IT AGAIN! and then READ it once more! if you do not Understand any part of this. Do Not Continue!!!
This Guide assumes you have some basic knowledge and is for advanced users!!!!!!!!
This Guide also Assumes you have an sdcard inserted in your phone(however some of you may not and this will not work.)
i will post an update to this guide when we have a method working for those of you with no extsdcard
Read this entire post before doing anything to avoid issues and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
Note! if at anytime during the following steps you see the samsung boot animation before step 11. start over cause you screwed up!
Step 1. download the following files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237653 bbx.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631641263 API4 system.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535467223 T-mobile APGC Bootloader
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862665245 T-mobile API4 Modem
Step 2. extract system.rar and bbx.rar and then copy system.img and bbx to your extsdcard(the sdcard you inserted into your phone)
Step 3. odin sprint userdebug firmware available here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
Step 4. Directly after odin is done with the sprint file you will immidiatly be presented with an update screen
Step 4a when this process of erasing your phone is finished it will reboot(this is the point you want to do the next step)
Step 4b. press and hold power, home and vol up to enter recovery
Step 4c If you see the samsung boot animation. you did NOT do this right and i would suggest you start over
Step 5. open a command prompt in your adb folder and do the following steps 1 at a time(these are case sensative)
Step 5a. adb shell
Step 5b. su
Step 5c. setenforce 0
Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Note! - if you still have odin open and the sprint file in the ap box make sure you uncheck it so it doesn't reodin the sprint firmware
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930TUVU1APGC_CL8706614_QB10376889_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930TUVU2API4_CL9115549_QB10937257_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. install any additions i have included if you like. most of all enjoy it
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
If you plan on running the debloat/deknox file you will need to disable auto updates in google playstore as soon as you finish the setup wizard or you will be uninstalling the apps that managed to update
Note! Keep in mind that i remove alot of things(ie. allshare, knox, gear manager, game manager, tmo apps, google apps, facebook and alot of other things) if you need any of what i remove, you can simply open the zip and go to META-INF/com/google/android and open the following file "updater-script" in notepad++(do not open it with windows notepad as it will screw up the formatting on the entrys) you will see a whole bunch of lines that begin with delete_recursive, remove the lines with names of the apps you do not want removed. most of this stuff is self explanatory by it's name as to what it is and should be very easy to figure out. when done editing the file, save it. and flash the updated zip in flashfire. it's as simple as that.
Additional Files for those that want them(these are all flashed via flashfire)

Ok here it is: Xposed still works with this new root method, Only one catch, you have to install this before you install any of @OvrDriVE Mods.
If you plan on using Xposed then do not install @OvrDriVE my modifications zip as this will crash your systemui.apk.
As with any custom rom's, root, add-on's, you assume all risks with modding your phone. You have been warned.
Make sure you read all of my directions below, before you start posting errors with the install. Worst case you just have to start over with @OvrDriVE s installation.
Here is the way you can install xposed on your phone after you have root. I in no way have made any files or apks, I am just posting ways you get this loaded on your phone.
Please Thank the devolopers and others that have made all these files and apks possible..
The way to install Xposed framework via FlashFire:
1. Download FlashFire, You can get it from the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
2. Download the Xposed Installer Apk: Xposed installer Apk
3. Download the Xposed Framework zip.<<< this is the file that you will be flashing via FlashFire: Xposed Framework.zip
4. Once you have all the files downloaded onto you computer/phone: you are ready to start. If you have'nt all ready copied all the files to your phone storage, do so now. If you did then you can move on to the #5.
5. Open FlashFire on your phone. Once it is loaded and open, click on circle with + button on the bottom right of the screen.
Then Click on Flash ZIP or OTA button.
Now select the xposed framework zip that you downloaded from #3.
Next you click the check mark on the top right of
the screen( do not change any of boxes on the left of the screen.<<< You Have Been Warned!!!!! .
Next scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the left button (flash button w the lighting bolt)
Sit back and watch FlashFire do its magic..
6. After #5 completes, you can now install the xposed installer apk from #2. Once installed open and check framework in the app and you should have this : Xposed framework version 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 2016709 is active.
7. Now go to Download in the xposed installer and download: XTouchWiz 1.1.2 or Wanam Xposed 1.3.0 Made for Samsung Android 5 and 6 Roms by Wanam. You can also download Firefds kit 1.0.5.1 by firefds <<<<< this is just a modified version of XTouchWiz with more stuff added to it.. This works as well on samsung note 7 root method.
8. Once you downloaded it, installed it, then go into the Xposed installer app- modules- you select the the app in #7 by placing a checkmark in the box on the right to activiate the modules.
9. Reboot your phone to activate the module.
10. Enjoy your efforts and customizing your phone:
If you some reason you want to uninstall xposed : flash this:xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip
Awesome.....finally[emoji106]
Video tutorial could be found in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68831392..... make sure to download correct modified system.rar for your specific carrier.

If you guys want Samsung pay....u need to stay stock and use disabler package pro to debloat and like @OvrDriVE said we can't have it all ....either or we gotta give up something. .... but with this breakthrough with root from @freeza.... now WiFi calling and volte work.... we are moving in good direction .... until we all get new note 7 replacement phone in couple week..... happy Labor days guys for people in US.

Make Sure To Check Out The Information I Have Left Inside Of The Shell Script For The Users. Once Your Done With That Save Your Edits And Now Open The CommandPrompt.bat That You Have Placed In Your ADB Directory And Copy And Paste The Following Commands That You See Below One By One To Get Your Device Rooted.
Code:
adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su

9. Now Your Phone Will Automatically Reboot And Then FlashFire Will Install The Rom. Once It's Done Installing Your Device Will Reboot Again, Now You Will End Up With A Black Boot Screen With No LED Indicator Light. Next Is To Wait Patiently For Almost 20 Minutes On This Black Boot Screen Until You End Up At The Setup Wizard. While At The Beginning Of The Setup Wizard, Don't Press Anything! Now Repeat "Step 7" To Root Your Device Again. Once Rebooted You Are All Done Your Device Is Now Rooted Again And You Can Now Restore Any Of Your Applications And Data And You Don't Need To Install Busybox Since My Modified su.img Has Already Got It Placed Inside The Image File And Extracts It To su/xbin. Also My Modified root.sh Shell Script Will Add More Tweaks To The Rom Adding Init.d Support, Setting Kernel To Permissive, And Disabling Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling!
Note #1 - Turn Off Automatic Updates For SuperSU In The Google Play Store Because Whenever There's A New Version For It And If You Update It, Root Will Break.
Note #2 - If Your Going To Use S-Health Don't Allow Google Play Store Or The Galaxy Apps Store To Update It Because The Latest Version Of The Application Checks For Root And Breaks The App. If It Gets Updated, Just Remove Any Traces Of It From system/priv-app/SHealth4 And data/app/com.sec.android.app.shealth-1 And Then Install The S-Health App From The Link Provided - Click Here

Everything Works Wi-Fi Calling, VOLTE, Even Bluetooth Works I Even Paired One Of My Bluetooth Headsets And Even After A Reboot It Automatically Re-Paired And It's Still Connected No Bugs Whatsoever This Is 100% Deodexed And Not Ran Into One Bug Yet! Even Though I Always Thought Benchmarks Is Bull In My Opinion, I Always Get Above 143,000 Antutu Benchmark Scores!
Oh yeah by the way even though i don't use Xposed, but for testing purposes even Xposed works!
Thanks for this @jovy23 any difference in how the phone reacts as compare to stock, is it more fluid less stutter

It's super stable there is no instability issues. Samsung pay will not work because of root im guessing latest samsung pay update should now check for both triggered knox and root even while i was on the odexed firmware root method samsung pay or any of the other paying apps didn't work as well. Flashing the modified tar file will likely flash the sprint firmware but the step after that your installing the tmobile firmware over it so there is no sprint system once your device boots to the setup wizard the only thing that's sprint is the kernel everything else is tmobile based.

Your welcome. :good:
And by the way just to let everyone know i have found a way to get the rom to install from the internal storage as well! Internal storage root method will be the main method so no more MicroSD card instructions from now on which should be somewhat easier. Once im done testing, I will most likely release the instructions tomorrow or by the weekend.
I recently found my old tablet and it had kingoroot installed and then I flashed stock rom to my tablet but now it randomly restarts and every time i try to setup it i got error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and "settings has stopped"
Here is the tutorial I followed:
Code:
The following instructions are for Windows only. Please don't use a virtual machine as these can cause problems communicating with the device. There is an alternative method for Linux or macOS. Just tell me if you aren't on Windows, I can easily change the instructions. Please make sure you have Windows set to display all file extensions. This can really help for debugging purposes.
First we need to download the tool that downloads the stock firmware. It's called SamFirm and it downloads it using Samsung's servers. You can download the latest version [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462). Please also make sure you have the [Microsoft Visual C++ 2008](https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/1/1116b75a-9ec3-481a-a3c8-1777b5381140/vcredist_x86.exe) and [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010](https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe) x86 Redistributable packages installed. Now to download the tool that flashes to the devices different partitions. On most devices you use a tool called fastboot, but Samsung devices aren't like most devices (excluding the Galaxy Nexus). This tool is called Odin, it's Windows only and leaked from Samsung so you need to get it from a trusted source. You can download the latest version [here](https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip). Extract the "Odin_3.12.3.zip" file. You should now have a folder called "Odin_3.12.3". Treat this as your working directory and download all other files to this folder. While you're here, extract the contents of "SamFirm_v0.3.6.zip" into this folder.
Now to download the stock firmware. Open "SamFirm.exe" and make sure "Auto" is checked and "Manual" and "Binary Nature" isn't checked. In "Model" put `SM-T210` and in "Region" put `BTU`. Click "Check Update" and wait for it to find the firmware on the server. Now check "Check CRC32" and "Decrypt automatically". Then click "Download" and save it. Let it finish downloading, checking, and decrypting. Once it finishes you can now close SamFirm. Extract the zip file it gave you. You should now have a single file ending in `.tar.md5` (you may also have `.dll` file, ignore it). This tar.md5 file is your firmware. Do not modify it. If you have more than one .tar.md5 file, tell me.
Now shutdown the device and then hold the Volume Down, Home/Bixby, and Power buttons. This should put the device into download mode. Accept any warnings then plug the device in. Open "Odin.exe" from the "Odin_3.12.3" folder. In the log, it should say `Added!` and have a blue COM thing near the top, meaning it detected your device. If it didn't detect it, then you may need to configure drivers (you can ask me for the drivers if you need them). Click the "Option" tab and make sure "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" is enabled. Also check the checkbox next to the "AP" button and then click the button. Select the tar.md5 file. Now click "Start" in Odin.
It should now reboot and go to the boot animation. If it doesn't boot in 15 minutes, shutdown the device. Then hold the Volume Up, Home/Bixby, and Power buttons. Then use the keys to select "Factory reset". Please note this will wipe all user data. Once it finishes you can select "Reboot" and now it should boot correctly.
I have been battling with this problem so long I only wanted to root my tablet to have some fun with root required apps
Any help with the problem? I only need to root the device or get it to work with stock rom
Hello all XDA Developers and site visitors,
I recently picked up a Junsun A931 Rear View Mirror on AliExpress and didn't see any forums on it. So, I decided to write my own about how I managed to gain root and install Magisk. Links to all the files will be included.
This works for Junsun's A930/A931 with Android 5.1. The process will probably work for other Rear view Mirrors with MTK chips, you will need to have access to the boot.img and scatter file for your device.
**Disclaimer: Proceed at your own risk! Although this worked for me without issues, there is always a chance of bricking your devices/making your device unusable. I am not responsible for your device(s).
Instructions:
1. Install MTK Drivers provided.
**I only have the ones for Windows. Mac/Linux, I couldn't find any MTK drivers for you.
**If you have trouble installing drivers, try turning off "signed drivers" in Windows Recovery.
2. Attach device to computer via USB cable.
3. If computer doesn't recognize device when it's fully booted:
-Go to "Set Up"
-Slide over to "Other" tab
-Scroll down to "Version"
-Click on "Version" until it brings up a menu (Same principle as Developer Mode, except it pop's up a menu)
-Click on "USB Host"
-Select "USB Device" (the one that has "adb" in the description)
**If this doesn't work, then try switching USB ports on your computer. It only ever works on my USB 3.0 ports.
4. Install Kingoroot on PC.
5. Launch Kingoroot and let it recognize your device, then click "Root."
** This is only a temporary root. It will reset every time you shutdown/restart. If that's what you want, stop here. Otherwise, continue on.
PERMANENT ROOT:
6. Open your choice of ADB on your PC. (I used Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
-Type "adb devices" to see if your devices is recognized and listed.
-Type "adb install [location of magisk.apk on computer]"
**replace "[location of magisk.apk on computer]" with location of magisk.apk (provided in RootPack.zip). This can be done by just dragging the file into adb or you can type the address from Windows Explorer.
-Type "adb push [location of boot.img for device] /sdcard/download"
**replace "[location of boot.img for device]" with location of boot.img for YOUR DEVICE. USING A BOOT.IMG FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN YOUR DEVICE BEING BRICKED!!! That being said, I have provided the software for Junsun A930/A931 for Android 5.1. If you have a different device, you will need the boot.img for it.
-Type "adb install [location of file explorer apk]" or install an file explorer from the Playstore, etc.
**replace "[location of file explorer apk]" with file explorer of your choice. I used ES Explorer.
7. Now open Magisk on the Rear View Mirror. (Make sure you're either connected to WiFi or Data)
**Be sure to grant it SuperUser Permission from Kingo SuperUser.
- Click "Install" next to "Magisk is not installed"
- Click "Install" on propt that pops up
- Choose "Select and patch a file" option.
- Scroll down and click on Es Explorer (or the file explorer you chose)
- Now go into the "download" folder and click the "boot.img"
- Click the option "File way"
**The "Normal Android Way" option kept failing for me.
- Let this complete.
8. Go back into ADB on the PC
- Type 'adb pull "sdcard/download/magisk_patched.img" C:/Downloads'
**You can replace "C:/Downloads" with whatever location you want to pull the file to on your computer.
9. Launch SP Flash Tool on your PC (provided in RootPack.zip)
-Load Scatter File by clicking the "Scatter-loading" button next to "Scatter-loading File" in the "Download" tab.
**This can be found in the firmware that I've provided, IF you have the Junsun A930/A931. If you have a different device, load the scatter file for it, instead.
-Now unclick all the boxes.
-Now click the box for "location" on the "boot" aisle.
-Select the "magisk_patched.img" that we just made from C:/Downloads or wherever you saved yours. Click "Open."
-It should have now have put the location of your "magisk_patched.img" file in the "location" box and the box next to the "boot" aisle should now be selected again (If not, make sure it is. Also, that it is the only one selected)
-Now click on the "Download" button (with the Green Arrow) at the top.
-Hold the home button the Rear View Mirror and click "Restart" (be sure to keep the mirror connect to the computer via USB)
-Now let the bar at the bottom finish.
-When it's done, there will be a pop-up that says "Download OK"
-Your device will restart
10. In your Mirror, launch Magisk Manager.
-Congratulations! The Magisk Installed option should now be green and you should have permaroot! Enjoy!
**You can now uninstall Kingo SuperUser.

great tutorial, really appreciate it
locale?
Thanks
seeing the A930P mt6735 root here, reboot after root language becomes us and timezone becomes China
I think I'm back to the default, but if you change the language, time zone to Japan and then restart it, it will go back to the default again
Do you need to change settings with build props etc?

Hmm.. could you give me some more information? Did you install Magisk or just use the temporary root with KingoRoot?
You could probably edit the build.prop to get the correct results by changing the "en" to "jp" for Japanese (or the whatever region). However, I'm not sure why yours is resetting to default after reboot? Mine always retains the settings after restarting. So if you could give me a little more information, I'll see if I can figure out what's the problem.
Great write up! Thank you.
I ended up picking a diff model Junsun /w 2gb RAM and am having issues with the USB port:
aliexpress : /item/32844242296.html
It won't recognize any USB devices, so assuming the drivers are missing or it's disabled permanently somehow. This unit is not powered thru USB port, there are separate 12v +/- to hardwire in. I've tried multiple USB cables as well.
I tried USB sticks for storage, but my actual intent is to hook up a USB DAB+ antenna like I'm using on another vehicle's Android
HeadUnit:
aliexpress: item/33003465623.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5ad74c4dUcy6j9
I just need basic USB drivers and 5V output on the USB port, any ideas on how to get this working or add drivers onto the existing ROM etc.?
Thanks!

Also, just adding more info to my post above.
I've tried contacting Junsun directly and thru AliExpress, they weren't helpful and just advised this feature isn't supported.
Apparently the USB port can be used for flashing firmware, but no other information.

It won't recognize any USB devices, so assuming the drivers are missing or it's disabled permanently somehow. This unit is not powered thru USB port, there are separate 12v +/- to hardwire in. I've tried multiple USB cables as well.
I tried USB sticks for storage, but my actual intent is to hook up a USB DAB+ antenna like I'm using on another vehicle's Android
HeadUnit:
aliexpress: item/33003465623.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5ad74c4dUcy6j9
I just need basic USB drivers and 5V output on the USB port, any ideas on how to get this working or add drivers onto the existing ROM etc.?
Thanks!

So MTK usually doesn't recognize in Windows the traditional way. You'll need a MTK program or the ADB/Fastboot. Since I don't have this model, I have no way to test it but I would look around the settings to see if there are some extra settings menus like developer mode. In the A930, they have extra menu by clicking the "version" and tapping it multiple times (not Android's but Junsun's custom one).
The driver's that I provide here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11poc-Pr30J_aPmhVJktuqZx1H9fkX371/view?usp=drivesdk
Should work for your model since it uses the same processor. It should be able to recognize it on start but if it doesn't recognize it when it boots up then there's probably something in settings that will enable it to. It will probably be hidden since it's most likely only for developers who were working on the rom.
Hello I've just rooted my junsun A930 alps-1.6.91 with Dr. Fone root, it showed device as ASUS A10 but rooted no problem and so far seems permanent..

Thanks ! It works! I try many times with Kingoroot, but allways fail. My mirror is recognized as MediaTek FX. It is android 5 . Is there any options to upgrade it to newest Android version?
Hello I'm looking for upgrade or custom rom myself, if I find anything I will let you know, but we're already in the best place XDA for it to happen... Good luck
I ask on Junsun Official Store and their answer: "Our equipment cannot upgrade the system. The system is fixed in the device..." So , no solution from official.

It depends on if anyone will spend the time to build an update rom or port for that device. If you send your device info, someone might end up working on it for you

I doubt it will ever have the support for the most current Android version. Most devices like this don't receive updates from official channels and the product isn't popular enough for most developers to have it.
updating fail due to power failed

Contact them and ask for the firmware for your device. They will most likely send you it. Flash it instead.
Then follow the steps I outlined but using the firmware they sent you instead. That is if you want root.
I requested but they are not respond

Orginal firmware ony we can flash in mtk mt6753 chipset? No other solution? I try miracle tool it shows mt 6753 then try to read boot8 after tool auto shutdown
Do you have a picture of the back of your device?
I don't know of any other tools/methods. There's some other programs for MTK development but they won't be much help in this case. You'll need to get the stock firmware back before anything. There's no programs to find suitable software nor is there a cross-reference. There is also no custom roms for these devices. Thus, why root and Magisk integration is such a positive.
