It would be helpful if you can provide a tutorial to install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).. is it possible to install custom recovery in our devices...
Thank you so much! And I have some notice about this that when I finished flashing the rom, there is a root status stuck on the device too!

Use the Boot.img for the same version which ever System version you aee installing......for example if you are going to flash 4.1.1 version then use boot img 4.1.1 ....or else you will find yourself in Bootloop/ restart/ hanging problems

Nice work there, I wish we see some development soon about our device and custom recoveries too.

Hi,
does it mean that by using your tool I will be able to flash a new factory ROM (dload\Update.app format), even if I had put a TWRP recovery to my P7?
Without changing back the TWRP to stock recovery?

Hi, did someone tested the tool? ( the first one) does it work? Because I want to install TWRP and I don't want to risk ?
If your bootloader is open, no Problem.
Put the twrp recovery .img in the recovery folder and choose flash recovery.
Only ADB and fastboot commands. If you have trouble - Plesse give me a info.
Does this program works alone? Do I need android SDK? Thank you for support!

You are in fastboot mode ...
ADB mode = phone complete bootet with USB debugging activated.

5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.
6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself.
7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-
8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command
9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-
10. Now this ends...
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-
11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS...
STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE
1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE
2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)
3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.
4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.
5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.
6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)
7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2

get "Flashify" app from playstore and first take backup of stock recovery and then flash the cwm with it. Thats it..
Actually I didn't knew this method before i made this guide..
Anyway, fastboot gives us a different feel, doesn't it? :v
wait I don't know flashify but it looks it needs root to flash the recovery ... but I think I need cwm to root ... so I think this is not gonna work ...
Ok got it, this may be useful to anybody face the issue with recovery:
I discovered you can workaround the issue in this way:
Temporary boot into CWM:
HTML:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Root the device using CWM
Flash CWM using flashify
[ CWM when you log out ask you for root so maybe it is not necessary to use the zip file ( but I'm not very expert so maybe I'm wrong)]
You can install GAPPS with CWM `gapps-kk-20140606-signed .zip` but be careful, whenever you update MIUI you will look all software installed using CWM. ( superSu and GAPPS for example )
thanks
thanks!

Okay bro :good:
I'll update the OP
I confirm #postadelmaga the CWM recovery does not stay, the only way to do access it is the fastboot boot recovery.img Here's how I succeeded with two phones now.
power on, start wifi, do Miui updates
install ADB or the files above on PC
reboot to fastboot with voldown+pwr
now comes fastboot boot recovery.img
in CWM, sideload SuperSu and Gapps
connect you preferred VPN (if in China)
install and update all Google apps needed
delete most Chinese apps
hey i m unable to flash recovery plzz help

Hi buddy could you plz port touchwiz from galaxy prime?
The simpler solution is to use the xiaomi update tool and flash a developer rom that has builtin root.

howto & root from permissions menu:

But to have the cwm running on the phone is always a safe bet for some recovery actions.
not working.
I tried this method. its stuck with flashing the recovery image. always showing flashing the recovery image.... that's all.

HI, I got this phone yesterday, it is now rooted with a custom CWM recovery and it's a great phone!
No issues so far, seems fast and stable and even plays flac files!
DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledges about phones and phones utilities too.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
How to root :
You need to download four files
1. CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2.zip
or TWRP_M2.zip
2. SP_Flash_Tool
3. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
4. MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64.zip
Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to your internal storage card on your phone. You will need this later.
In Windows (not virtualbox) extract CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2.zip, SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532.00.000_Windows.zip and MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64.zip
Go to the MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64 folder and click flash_tool
Then Click the Download tab at the top.
In that window click the Scatter Loading button and browse to the CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2 folder and select the CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2 file.
View attachment 3563620
Click Download.
Turn off your phone
Plug the USB cable into your phone and into the computer
Don't turn on your phone
When the Windows driver installer pops up cancel searching Windows Update and make it install the driver from MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64
You may have to force this by agreeing to install a non-signed driver, don't worry, it will still work.
Your phone should stay on a black screen, if not do this again until Windows has the correct driver.
You need to have the Preloader driver installed, once it is the flash_tool will flash the recovery.
The phone boots to Preloader then normal boot, if you miss the preloader option you have to restart and try again.
If your phone does not reboot (mine did not) you need to turn off the phone and then turn it on while holding Volume +
You will get three options on the screen
Recovery
Fastboot
Normal
You change the option with volume +
You choose the option with volume -
We want recovery
In Recovery
The volume buttons move up and down
Power selects the option you are on
You need to Install Zip
choose file from /sdcard
0/
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
After installation choose reboot and YES fix root!
Your phone will restart and you will now have root access.
All credit for the recovery : Caliv
sorry, but how did you root it?
Flash the custom recovery and then flash update_supersu.zip from the internal storage card.
Edit : Guide in first post.

No, if it works as it should you will have no changes except a su binary and apk to control access.
Hello Kangburra i am from germany and i have no x64 bit PC-System. Have you the MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7 for 32 bit system? So that i canflash it on a german WIN 8.1 32-bit system ?
CWM means it is also a recovery for the case if the flash fail
Thank you for answer.

Hello,
thanks for the detailed instructions, but could you also provide us a download link for the 32 bit x84 mtk Drivers, who work with Windows 7?
Thanks

Finally I obtain access root on Elephone M2. I try three time but was my error.
Thanks Kangburra for your attention and instructions.
CWM Carliv 6 For Elephone M1 can anyone help me?
Got no popup and cannot install the MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64. My phone reboots normal :/
Is the phone plugged in when you restart it? Is there a failed device in Windows Device Manager?
No failed device in Device Manager and the phone is plugged in. I've got it working and can access it with the Explorer in Windows. But the Flash-App doesn't flash a recovery
The driver for windows is not the same as the preloader needed to flash.
That's correct. But how can I change it (windows 7)? Don't know what I must uninstall and how I can install the correct drivers.

why would I root? bought m2 for 3gb RAM, but only 780 there

Kangburra, great post, txs
Lost my suscription, so starting again as newby
Why would I root? Many sites warn against it.
Rooted my previous non-brand Chinese phone with Android 4.1.1., only 1GB of RAM and partitioned phone memory (12 Mb)
Used Kingroot, worked like a charm, usefull because of partitioned phone memory and could get rid of junk & tmp files. Did not solve low RAM btw (Android too old for swap apps)
bought M2 for bigger RAM, but only 780 Mb out of 3 GB available for apps (in my phone, checked with several appps); get the impression that this is due to the launcher that Elephone installed (becomes visible after installing Nova). As I understand it, the so called UI is only a launcher (60 Mb). Why then so much RAM in use?
So my question(s) to you: (1) do you agree with memory findings, and (2) will this improve with root?
TXS in advance for your thoughts

Hello everyone! So after the new MediaTek DAA and SLA protection bypasses you can find GitHub repo of here , using the bypass we are able to use SPFlash Tool, here is a guide how you can do it! This guide is for RMX3085 (Realme 8) ONLY. DON'T DO ANY OF THESE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE!
ALWAYS USE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE OF SP FLASH TOOL.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING RELATED TO FORMAT ON SP FLASH TOOL! (IT'S WRITTEN EVERYWHERE, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IMEIS IF YOU USE FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD. YOU ARE SAFE IF YOU USE DOWNLOAD ONLY.)
Requirements:
PC or Laptop
Internet connection
Realme 8
USB cable
Windows Method
Requirements:

}
3) Download this file and install it, after installing power off phone and connect to pc while holding Vol+- (don't leave the buttons after connecting) . You might need this driver as well if it's not detected.
4) Press next, connect your device to PC while holding Vol+- buttons (your device needs to be powered off, and don't leave the buttons) and you will see the mtkdriver down below. Install it.
5) Choose MediaTek USB Port and install it.
6) Then run the brom.bat under Bypass folder.
7) Now power off the phone and connect the phone while holding volume + and - (Don't leave the buttons until the bypass is done)
8) After the above step Go into Flash Tool folder and open the SPFlash tool go to Options>Option
9) Click on Connections and select UART and set Baud Rate to 921600
10) After that choose scatter file and also if not set, set your download-agent. You don't need to select auth file as authorization is disabled. Once you do it, it should look like this. ALWAYS MAKE SURE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE IS SELECTED! DON'T SELECT OTHER MODES!
Select all the Partitions except opporeserve2 and cdt_engineering. otherwise you will get errors.
*11) If you want to flash super.img partition also then download this scatter.txt file and replace it with the another scatter file which is present in the decrypted firmware folder. After that select it again in sp flash tool.
Again Make SURE "Download Only" is selected. Don't select ANYTHING ELSE! You will lose your IMEIs, Serial Numbers, Capability of Hardware Attestation etc. if you choose "Format data + Download" make SURE you selected "Download Only".
Now, you can start downloading with the button and after that a checkmark will appear. You can reboot your phone and use it like before now! All your userdata will (inevitably) be cleared!
After flashing it should look like this. Download has been complete. Enjoy!
"Congrats Now your Realme 8 is Unbricked "

If you face any issues write them down below...
Some people having this problem so I want to add one more thing to the guide. If you are not having any issues related to boot then don't follow these steps.
After waiting more then 10 minutes, if it doesn't boot up/bootloop. Or shows DM-Verity corrupt error then do this.
1) Try boot into stock recovery by pressing volume up + power button after that when your screen flashes quickly unpress buttons.
2) Now press volume down + power button, by pressing these you will boot into stock recovery.
3) Go to format option and do a full format.
4) Your phone will definitely boot up after that.

Realme 8 Firmware (RMX3085) - Realme Firmware
Realme 8 Firmware RMX3085 Official Flash File (Stock ROM). flash your phone using realme flashtool or MSM Download tool.

if "Brick" occured in rooting process - then can recovery be done without data loss :
Prerequisite: firmware version on the body must the same as downloaded "Decrypted OFP" (as example both is A.22 )
HowTo:
at step of SPFlashing (currently that is 10-th)
- check ONLY next partitions in SPFlash to restore :
PRELOADER RECOVERY VBMETA LK LK2 BOOT
... and NO any of other
(as thats only are touched by currently described rooting processes)
after recovery exist on every boot:
"dm-verify corrupted..."
how to get out of this message?
Reset with clearing data not helps ...

Wait for 10mins if it didn't boot then.
Format with mtk client
python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc
that boots ... BUT
on every boot thet alerts about "corruption"
ok cleared partitions with python...
still the same alert ...

Try booting into stock recovery and format from there
Ok. format from recovery menu solves ...
now that boots normally =

-no boot allowing by pressing key required
good behaviour to see when boot subsystem altered, as at every boot alerted and required to press longer power button to confirm/allow starting ...
interesting, that is something new on mine (device versions) or overall ...
I have it anyway. have you solved it yet? Do I understand correctly?

I Think that is not so solvable /possible if someone decode debug and finds /... but that is quite acceptable for rooting /if you don't want to make illegal spionage and so on/ ... also as if your device will be rooted by someone - you will see alert of changes on boot ... that is good ...
if you are rooted - you must be alerted .
but if you will going to stock rom and have protection - then flashing "stock" (surely without 3 partitions that IMEI-and-so-on-related ) and then format from recovery menu helps return to "factory" operation

There should be some mistake in your process. Because this guide is working and tested by many people.
Does global firmware have realme dialer instead of google dialer?
Can I flash Global firmware my indian device?
on your firmware package, it does not flashes super.img by default. Because in scatter file
- partition_index: SYS48
partition_name: super
file_name: super.img
is_download: false
changing false to true helps fixing destroyed super partition
