Observation On Infinix Hot 2 [X510-D5110-Androidone-20151208] on Root

So today I embarked on what seemed to be a fruitless journey as I tried to root the Infinix Hot 2 on the latest build (December Security Patch of course) and I observed the following:
1. Flashing TWRP Recovery that was previously made for this device doesn't Flash. SP/Infinix Flash Tool flashes the recovery quite alright but booting to recovery with ADB afterwards gives a "No command" screen.
2. Kingroot (PC & Mobile) can't root this device as of yet :'(
3. I think the bootloader can be unlocked using the Android One Toolkit that was created for 1st Gen Android One devices. Reason being the fact it booted to fastboot and prompted me with the option to accept bootloader unlock or not.
Should you come come successful with flashing recovery or rooting this latest build, please comment your method. Thank you...

recovery partition is protected, it will get back to stock recovery if you boot the system. so you really need to boot recovery as the first thing you do after flashing.
which because of the similar bug we can't unlock our bootloader, is impossible to do with default setting. flash your lk partition with this:

Thanks I will try this in the morning...
One more question... Does this mean after flashing recovery I can boot directly into TWRP using key combo?

why do you think you need another scatter file. you already tried flashing twrp right? use that one. then change the location of partition named "lk" to point this file. that's all.

Guide to install Nougat / Emui5 on BTV-DL09

Okay, managed to get Nougat and root for my BTV-DL09. Here is a fast forward tutorial how to do that.
I could only root it by using Magisk, Supersu (even the special emui5 ones) did not work for me.
Files:
ROM: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1224/g490/v78425/f1/full/update.zip (BTV-DL09C233B336)
Data: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...full/dualcu/cn/update_data_full_dualcu_cn.zip
TWRP, make sure to use twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750327 (thanks to greatslon)
Root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
I came from version BTV-DL09C100B006, this is how I did it:
Bootloader must be unlocked, custom recovery installed (Do not install the one for EMUI5 yet, it won't boot).
Enter recovery by adb reboot recovery
Wipe, reboot recovery
Flash ROM + Data
Flash Magisk Root
Flash Recovery again (will be overwritten by the udate)
Reboot, Done.
Download playstore / vending APK from APKmirror: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-7-6-08-release/ and transfer it on the device.
There is an app called "Downloads" preinstalled (there is pretty much nothing on the tablet, not even a browser after flashing it), you can use that to open/install the play store APK and get things going.
Please make sure you know what you are doing and you know how to recover from a soft brick. I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong.
The version you should have now is BTV-DL09C233B336 with security update from February included.

Thank you very much, and how to downgrade ?

can someone upload a youtube video showing us the the new EMUI5 on this tablet, and give us an overview about the new features and performance?

Beware that:
1) this is a chinese ROM
2) Nougat version 7.0.0
3) if you don't like the downgrade process is difficult
4) if you want to downgrade have to find another ROM!!!

any idea to downgrade please

You need another ROM, FULL not OTA.
1) extract from the .APP the recovery (both) and boot images
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
2) get a build.prop from the ROM you want to install
3) copy the build.prop in the /system folder, overwriting the original: now the old ROM will unlikely boot!
4) go in fastboot mode and flash recovery, recovery2 and boot images
5) copy the update.app in the dload folder
6) reboot and maintain pressed both volume keys to start recovery
7) if you are lucky the recovery will install the ROM.
Of course you will loose all your data (uhm, not even but... MAKE A BACKUP before!)
If you don't know well how to do ALL this don't even try!
If you have the original european LTE ROM please share it!!!

Switched to eu rom, updated to nougat.. unlocked bootloader and rooted with magisk
But using magisk caused the fingerprint sensor not to work at all and there is no settings for the FP in the settings menu.
Uninstalled magisk and the fingerprint worked again but obviously I lost root.
Flashing SuperSU didn't work gives an error in twrp no matter what version I try.
Any idea on how to root without compromising the fingerprint sensor?? :/

How to install MAGISC without TWRP and locked bootloader?

Hi,
I used Magisc with several chinese brand phones and never had problems so far.
Now I got a new Moto Z, and I don't want to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery.
Is there another way to get Magisc working on my new device?
I understand the concept of systemless root and modification in general. The bootloader unlock and custom recovery installation do not fit in this concept, don't you think so?
Kind regards

Systemless mean that's it's doesn't messed with system partition so u can get the OTA update..
Or some app that detec change from system partition then refuse too work..
And to do that u need to flash TWRP and unlocked bootloader..

Not completely accurate. Magisk modifies boot.img (boot partition) and to modify it, you need to have an unlocked bootloader.

Right! So you can accomplish a Magisk install without a custom recovery for example using the Magisk Manager or Flashfire but as stated above, in order to boot a modified boot.img the bootloader needs to be unlocked or otherwise it will refuse to boot it.

There should be an option to install magisc like a systeme update with the stock recovery.

I don't think you understand how Android works, there are several stages to the system in which the actual /system rests. Basically everything is signed and validated to guarantee the installation of the official software and to protect the phone. Even if you can install Magisk via the stock recovery (which would require a phone specific Magisk which is the opposite of the universal interface that topjohnwu is targeting) you won't be able to boot the phone because the /boot partition is altered and the verity function won't allow an altered image to load in order to protect the phone. So in order to load the changes Magisk makes, the bootloader which checks and loads the boot.img (that's why it's called boot-loader) needs to be unlocked so it boots everything (the new boot.img needs to be compatible of course, you cannot boot the S8 img on the G6 for example). If I missed anything or something is wrong please correct me.

Of course you can (with some possible limitations set by the OEM). With fastboot, for example. But you won't be using the recovery at all (stock or custom).

Actually you can boot into twrp rather than install/flash twrp which means u must use cmd to boot twrp everytime for flashing something~ As for locked bootloader, just like others said, you must unlock it.

There are installation instructions on how to create the patched boot image with the Magisk Manager in the release thread.
When you have the patched_boot.img file, you'll need to flash it to your device. On most normal devices you can do this with fastboot. Check out your device's forums/DuckDuckGo/Google/Whatever-search-engine-you-use for instructions on that.

I'm also interested to install Magisk with as less impact as possible, so to summarize for newbies like myself:
* Unlocked bootloader is needed. Period.
* A custom recovery is needed to flash Magisk. TWRP for instance.
* That custom recovery prevent the built-in OTA update to work
* But TWRP can flash OTA updates that can be downloader from XDA for example
Am I correct?
Also,
* Magisk needs a patched boot image
* This image has no impact on the OTA process at all
* There are encryption matters to take care of (I don't understand them yet though).
Is everything correct?
Thanks.

Not necessarily. You can let the Magisk Manager patch your device's stock boot image and then flash it to your device with fastboot. See the installation instructions in the release thread.

It definitely does. See the official docs

Possibly. Depends on what you're talking about.

Great answers. It's more clear for me now. Many thanks sir!

Hi!
There are good news for you, rooting with magisk is very easy that way . No bootloader unlocking, custom recovery,
adb and fastboot command, no sdk no mtk tool . NOTHING but Sp flashtool - our best friend. This method really works with mtk phones android 5.0+ .
What U only need is
Sp flashtool and its drivers /scatter file with the ROM/ -I think not mtk devices with their own flashtool will work too
the ROM of your device
Magisc manager app on the phone
First of all you need clear up the device / after backup somewhere if needed/with sp flashtool - flash the whole ROM in format+download mode.
Install Magisc manager app , it will load for U a zip file in the map of the app
Put the boot img file of your rom in that map too
Run install option - it will create a patched boot img file within the app s map
Run again sp flashtool with download mode , mark only the boot section , and flash that patched boot img in phone
After reboot phone it is rooted
best regards

Forgive me and explain me something:
I read that "no custom recovery needed" and through the application it will create a patched boot img file.
I installed Magisk Manager 5.4.3, οpens and displays "not installed". I followed the steps that are described in the guide without anything being done.
One of the users they created patched recovery from the application menu in what order did they do it? 
 @Galaxtracker: you write "it will load for U a zip file in the map of the app" Where is the map of application ; I do not see any folder created ιn Android/Data or or somewhere else.
I have the Ulefone S8Pro with unlock bootloader (Android 7)

Install Magisk Manager.
Press install.
Select "Patch Boot Image File".
Select the stock boot image you've previously saved on your device.
Wait.
Flash the patched boot image to your device.
Done.
All of this is covered in the installation instructions...
The folder being mentioned above is MagiskManager on your internal storage (where the patched boot image is also stored).

Hi!
Magisc works fine for me from the first time. Excuse me I won't do installation again to see how it goes. Really it causes some hesitation but in the end it's clear.
I use Total commander, and magisc folder is on the external SD card after installing magisc manager app. Factory reset later will not clear the root. After installing manager it says "not installed" till the end of the rooting process. Opening the app it begins to look after the downloadable zip file, you have to wait and download it. This zip and the stock boot img must be in the same place in a folder, and the app itself makes the patched boot img but I don't remember what was the name of the option. This is the flashable img file. In the end after flashing with flashtool and rebooting, magisc manager says "installed". Good luck

Hi, I am trying to centralise this sort of information and am compiling it in another topic for Magisk and android-based media centres too.
Trying to properly document things (full sentences with references, links, and examples) rather than just writing some brief summarised steps that most people will not understand - not just for myself but to share should it assist others learn and understand the preparation and steps involved, plus consequences and ramifications of their actions (which never seem to be stressed enough).
Here is what I have compiled. Hopefully it will help and prevent you going loopy!? :silly:

*** EXTREMELY CLEAR MAGISK ROOT INSTRUCTIONS ***
(Work In Progress! To Be Verified & Critiqued By Others)​
Connect your WiFi so that all auxillary files can be downloaded during the rooting process.
Ensure you have a minimum of 2GB of free disk space. Allow for 1-2 hours to perform these steps. Do not rush!
Bootloaders come with every Android device, and give it all the instructions on how to boot and what to execute. If your Bootloader is locked, then you have not flashed anything like TWRP previously, or, you have re-flashed a stock Bootloader and Recovery, etc. The process is much easier when you have previously rooted the device using another method, and the Bootloader already unlocked.
To preserve your System partition, Magisk only modifies the unlocked Bootloader boot partition, which can easily* be restored and 'locked' later.
0. Before starting anything, always perform a FULL Backup (ADB) of your device, using a good quality USB cable and ADB FastBoot toolkit. Or on some devices you can use a Micro SD card with a TWRP recovery.img to boot into TWRP to perform a backup of partitions. Do both if you want! Make sure you search for the appropriate commands and usage of ADB FastBoot backup so that all data is backed up and included.
> ADB FastBoot: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
> TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/ \\ https://twrp.me/FAQ/
> Plus various other solutions...
1. Identify your device's firmware, build number, Bootloader, full unique model number, etc. Download any two of these apps:
a) AIDA64 ("System", "CPU" & "Android" tabs.)
b) Device Info HW ("General" & "System" tabs.)
c) DevCheck ("Hardware" & "System" tabs.)
2. Download the stock Bootloader, Recovery and Firmware (___.tar.md5) for your device model, variant and OS. (e.g. match your firmware, build number, bootloader, full unique module number, etc). Some sites will force you to pay to download - search around and you can get free download links, or sometimes from the manufacturer's site. From this firmware, we need to either extract or download the stock Bootloader.img image separately.
3. Install Magisk Manager v5.3-v5.6 as of 2017.02.22 ("Magisc" is typo by guy above).
4. Open Magisk and go to settings, adjust theme, change the language, enable notify for updates, change prompt timeout, etc.
5. On the home screen of the Magisk Manager app, click "Install" then in the pop-up select "Install" again.
a) If you have root access already, choose "Direct Method" - Select, wait, reboot and done (very easy!);
b) If you have stock recovery & locked bootloader, choose "Patch Boot Image File" - in the pop-up explorer, browse for the downloaded Bootloader Image.
c) ... I don't know about "Download ZIP Only" - I assume for flashing with Odin or ADB FastBoot from PC or existing root/unlocked user....?
NOTE: If you are being asked to browse and select a file, be aware that there is no confirmation! As soon as you click, that JPG or RAR archive will be used for patching (and result in an error if cannot be extracted!!!)
6. A file will likely be downloaded in the background (flashable ZIP), a black screen will pop-up processing etc. Wait.....
The processed Boot image will be processed and output to the /MagiskManager/ directory.
If you do NOT have root, or custom recovery, you will need to:
a) grab a PC, install the USB drivers for your device and confirm your device is fully recognised
b) then flash the "patched" Boot image from the Magisk Manager directory with ODIN for Windows or FastBoot on Windows via a good-quality USB cable.
7. ...
8. ...
I think that is it... I may have forgotten something. Please advise if something needs to be fixed or corrected. My Media Centre was already unlocked, so I did not have to unlock and flash the Bootloader.
9. Install free TWRP on your device, and choose to backup any partitions, should you wish to restore them later. Set an alarm to backup your device every few months! What are you prepared to lose if your device was lost/squashed/washed/crunched et al.???
Say thank you and donate to the amazing and all powerful Magisk developer 'TopJohnWu' and team!
Sweet! :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, you'll get unadjusted display due to the notch in Honor Play, but that'll be pretty much all! Make sure you completely remove any fingerprints you've saved in EMUI before flashing OpenKirin. Otherwise fp sensor won't work for unlocking phone

1. Extract your stock ramdisk from firmware finder, and put it on your SD card or internal storage
2. Install magisk manager
3. Open magisk manager and click "install magisk"
4. Select the "patch boot image file" option
5. Reboot your phone and copy the patched_boot.img generated by magisk manager to your PC (reboot is usually
needed in order to see the file when you connect your phone to USB)
6. Go to fastboot and flash the patched ramdisk as you flashed recovery earlier.(No need of TWRP when update available just flash the stock ramdisk and update will be installed.)

in locked bootloader can't flash unauthorized and/or unsingned image, patched boot image is unsigned category, twrp is unauthorized category... can't gain root access with locked bootloader

Is there anyway to root the Honor play without having to pay any third party services, assuming you have the bootloader unlock key ofcourse

nothing... my honor play bootloader permanently closed after january upadte

Please help me to root my honor play

So has anyone figured out how to root the phone?

I've tried multiple rooting programs to try to root the phone, but none of them seem to work. So my question is, has anyone figured out a working method to get root? (I've unlocked the boot loader already)

If you go into developer options it allows you to unlock the bootloader.

I don't think that completely unlocks the bootloader

All that does is ALLOW the bootloader to be unlocked - it doesn't unlock it.

I just unlocked the bootloader
Used adb
"Fastboot flashing unlock"
Next im gonna try to apply root
Wish me luck

I have just ordered this phone. Will hopefully be able to share backup copies of ramdisk(boot) to be used with magisk to give root

Well if anyone is Interested in trying out mtk-su to get system-less, boot-less root it should work. It worked with my umidigi phone that also has mtk p70 soc. And running pie.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/amazing-temp-root-mediatek-armv8-t3922213
Here is device back up script project I had done based on that mtk-su.
https://github.com/mrmazakblu/Root-Backup-Helper

My test of using mtk-su did not work out.
But i do have backup copy of the stock boot.img , install magisk manager (currently i used V 7.3.4, after magisk update, V20 caused device trouble. Recommend stay with mahisk v19.3) and patch the boot.img from link below, then flash with "fastboot flash boot /file.name" to have full root.
here is stock boot file

:::UPDATE::10-27
Successfully flashed magisk with twrp. But because the current twrp has no working touchscreen. It was done with ADB commands.

You can follow full guide found on magisk thread.
Here is general steps.
1. Install magisk manager app
2. Select install. Choose option to patch local file.
3. When complete, copy that patched_boot.img to PC
4. Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
I did not share the patched boot.img. you need to do this step on your own. Is better that way.

I feel maybe I was too general in the steps. (not enough detail) sorry.
If you got to the part when it is loading patched_boot
then you got past the patching part.
so, you need to find the patched_boot.img . It should be in the download folder on device
copy this to your PC.
reboot phone to bootloader mode.
then open terminal in same window as the copied patched_boot.img file, or use the full path name in the command.
In the following example, the patched_boot.img file is saved in c:\adb
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img c:\adb\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot c:\adb\patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

Do you mean, flashing gsi image, or editing things on stock system. I have been focussed on tarp, and my tried either case.
I can do that soon and confirm if system is freeze.
OK, first time i tried to flash GSI here it is failed.
used fastboot flash system **gsi.img**
(phh v119)
it flashed without error, but will not go past bootloader splash screen. --ODD
will try again later

I did everything according to the instructions that you suggested, and everything worked out for me, I got a root, but when I try to change the system files, the phone freezes, maybe the root is not full? Thanks for your work)

Well all depends on what system files you have changed.
I was able to delete the system private-app file "blu-ignite" (an unauthorized app installed program) without freezing system.
I was on magisk 19.3. when I try to update to magisk v20 then I have issues. Freezes, wifi not turn on, ect. So try to restore stock, and Will have to use custom update Chanel with magisk to force it to use the older version.
I am also trying to see if twrp can be used tethered, to install magisk. By using "adb shell twrp sideload" command. And sideloading the magisk file.
If, when I see it works I can write the the whole process.
