I. Backup and Root:
Method 1: just for ROOT - Works with all version till now (1.041.0):
I recommend doing a FULL backup before rooting. Check method 2 for backup details!
Update your Android to the latest version
Install Framaroot. For more details see this thread.
Method 2
Prerequisites: Update your phone to the latest version. Download all the tools and drivers for the steps below from here.
1. Only for Windows Vista, 7 and 8: Disable driver signature enforcement (allows you to install the unsigned drivers). This is a very important step. Search google for your windows version!
2. On the phone go to Settings->Developer Options and Enable (put a tick on) USB debugging
3. Connect your phone to the PC and wait until the ADB driver installs automatically. If it fails manually install it from device manager->update driver and select the driver from the “ADB_driver” folder.
Then install the drivers from “MT6577 USB VCOM drivers” folder. Windows will tell you that it cannot verify the publisher of the driver. Select Install this driver software anyway on all the dialogs.
4. Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools”. The device should be detected in about 20 seconds. If it fails go step 1.
Once the phone is detected (picture 1) select Block Maps. Make a screenshot of the Block Maps screen and click on the Create scatter file button. Save the file in a safe place.
5. Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder.
In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created with MTKdroidTools. Then go to the Read back tab. Delete all the entries if any are present.
The click the add button, this creates a blank entry. Double click on the blank entry. You will be asked where to save the file and then to enter the Start Address and Length select Read Method to be Read Page Only.
You find out the values from the screenshot you made before. I created a Sizes.txt file to help you out with the formatting – CHECK if the sizes and start addresses are the same for you!!!!!!!
It’s recommended to add all the partitions (making a full backup) but you can just add recovery.img and boot.img
Turn off your phone. Unplug it from the computer. Remove the battery. Press Read Back button. Holding the Volume Up and Power button together plug the cable to the phone and computer. Once you see a progress in the SP Flash Tool you can release the buttons.
You will see a green circle the progress is complete (Recovery and Boot read back will take few seconds, full backup will take around an hour). Unplug your phone. Make an archive of the backed up files (zip/rar/7zip) so that the files don’t get modified by mistake.
6. Power on the phone. Connect to PC. Adb should be enabled.
Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab and click “Recovery and Boot” button. Select the boot.img from previous step, you will be asked to make a CWM recovery automatically – choose NO and select the recovery.img from the previous step. If it asks to install created recovery to phone choose NO. Close the program.
7. Power off the phone. Disconnect the cable and remove the battery.
Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder. In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created in step 4.
Leave the checkboxes on BOOTIMG and RECOVERY. Double click on them and select the modified boot.img and recovery.img (they are located in Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools\recovery). Press the Download button, when a message appears saying that not all images are not loaded correctly press YES.
Holding the Volume Up button and Power button simultaneously plug the USB cable.
After the green circle appears remove the cable.
8. Power on the phone. Connect to PC, Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab the “SuperUser”, “Build.prop” and “Delete china” buttons should be active. Press the “SuperUser” button. Now your phone is rooted.
9. Repeat step 7 but use the files from step 5 (unmodified boot.img and recovery.img).
NOTES: Doing a backup doesn’t violate your warranty. Having a backup is a must. OTA firmware updates checks if some of the system files are modified (build.prop and others take a look at the update-script for details). No not integrate update of system apps to rom (using Titanium backup or similar). If you cannot update OTA the use the backup from step 5 to restore your original firmware.
II. Enable init.d support (only for rooted devices):
Install init.d toggler from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.initdtoggler
Note: If someone managed to get init.d support manually please post the steps so I can add it as an alternative method.
III. Swap Phone Storage with SDCard (only for rooted devices):
1. Make a backup (apps, media, contacts)
2. Do a factory reset
3. Using a root explorer (ES File Browser, Root Explorer or other) go to folder /system/etc

WARNING: NEVER remove the SDCARD while the phone is running!!!! Never power on the phone without an SDCARD!!!!
IV. Entering the service menu:
Open the dialer (where you dial phone numbers) and enter:
*#*#3646633#*#*
V. Changing the maximum output volume of the headphone output:
1. Enter the service menu (chapter IV. In this guide)
2. Select the Hardware Testing tab and navigate to Audio -> Headset mode
3. Select Level: Level 6 and change the Max Vol. field to the desired value and press the Set button. I recommend a maximum value of 150 (the absolute maximum is 160).
You can also edit the loudspeaker volume (from LoudSpeaker Mode) or the phone volume (from Normal Mode).
VI. Enabling A-GPS and EPO
A) Easy method: Settings -> Location access click on GPS satellites (the text NOT the ON/Off button).
Enable A-GPS/EPO.|
B) Service menu method: Enter service menu -> Location -> Location Based Service
Here you have the AGPS and EPO tabs – use the enable checkboxes
Please upload your phone backups and post links in this thread:
I. Flashing firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Check chapter I of previous post for tools link.
II. Flashing pretty much the same as step 7 of chapter I in first post. You load the scatter file and then load the files if they are not loaded (double click and pointing to the corresponding file).
I strongly recommend to do a full backup of the phone before flashing! (If you don't already have one)
You need to flash the following files: MBR, EBR1, UBOOT, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, ANDROID (they must be ticked and correct files shoud be loaded).
DO NOT FLASH: PRELOADER, DSP_BL.
You don't need CACHE and USRDATA (if it's not your own backup)
II. Legend:

Sorry I haven't tested that. I don't want to customize my phone from scratch.
It should be restored but I cannot guarantee that! Write the default values somewhere to be sure!
How do i unroot? I do not able to upgrade anymore
Nice one mate! I for one didn't know about the service menu and I found the headphone volume with high-impedance headphones to be a bit lacking.
One thing to add: improve GPS performance: http://www.gizchina.com/2013/07/23/how-to-fix-poor-gps-on-mediatek-phones/
A-GPS and EPO are disabled by default on some phones -_-
Another thing: you can tweak the camera output to "raw" which apparently gets rid of most compression, and the overzealous noise reductio:
Service menu>camera>raw capture mode: capture mode
Service menu>camera>raw type: pure raw
Currently experimenting with this.
EDIT: camera settings are only honored in the debug camera app.
Could somebody upload EMEA dual sim stock recovery to i.e. dropbox or somewhere else? I am not able to upgrade after root anymore. Tried to flash back original boot and recovery and remover supersu. No lucky :crying:

pubbapubba you have modified some system files that's why your phone fails the update checksum progress.
Sorry I don't have a phone without root, but you can update to the latest version (1.041.0) from the second post of this thread (just uploaded minutes ago) but it's ROOTED.
Flash ONLY the following files: BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, ANDROID, UBOOT, LOGO, SEC_RO!!!

Citruspers, I will add the GPS and other tweaks when I have time to properly describe all the options
Thanks for the detailed guide!
When I am running the flash_tool two things happen...
1. My "Read Flag" column is a check box radio with N/A beside it. Not like what your screen shot shows.
2. I can add the starting and length for each item, but the last errors out saying "[Warning] Read back address is adjusted to 512 byte alignment. For the last item "bmtpool" (I have manually typed the values and also cut and pasted your text file entries. My scatter file has the exact same start and length as your guide.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
EDIT: I tried several times and with changing nothing I now have the Read Flag choices and was able to set page only. I am still getting a Warning on the last item, but the values stuck... am now going to perform the backup and see how it goes.
Ahh... the selecting of the scatter file is the difference. If I load the scatter file first I have no Read Flag choices, if I leave it blank I do. The scatter file changes to EMMC and gets rid of the Read Flag choices.
EDIT: Also just realized I did not upgrade the firmware to 1.41 so am doing that now. (My original CATB15 came with 1.41, this is a replacement brand new out of box and it needed to be upgraded. Will see if that makes any difference.
EDIT: I upgraded firmware and ran it anyway. Was able to root the phone following the steps... Thanks for the guide.. Only thing I saw so far is I would not load the scatter file first in step 5.... as this removes the ability to set the Read Flag choices, although they get overwritten when you do load the scatter file in your screenshot as well.

1. Which method. Famaroot or the tested one?
2. If you want to put the factory version you must have a backup of a factory firmware. I'm waiting for factory (as I call them "virgin" firmwares)
3. You SOULD (not 100% guaranteed) be able to update after root IF you don't modify the build.prop, the framework and library files (in system) and the /system/apps folder. You can add files to system but DO NOT replace, modify system files! Do NOT integrate system app ugrades to system. I'll add the full list of files that SHOULD NOT be modified for the OTA updates to work - when I have time!
EDIT: Unrooted firmware added to second post. It's EMEA DS 1.1041.0. Thanks to Wedee. Please confirm if the firmware works (on DUAL SIM phone It may brick Single Sim)
friend all cat b15 is EMEA???? as if my cat b15 is EMEA?

Go to Settings -> About phone and Check the build number:
If it Says EMEA_DS.1.1041.00 Than its EMEA region, Dual SIM and the version is 1.1041.0.
I don't know what are the other regions? Maybe there is an version for the Americas?

The file named "Update_data_full_hw_(insert your region here).ZIP" It's a US, EU or Asia specific file you should flash as well. It include soft keyboard and other useful stuff.
Place ALL of its contents in the dload folder when flashing.
I finally found a way to root the myPhone Hammer AXE M LTE!!! You can use Magisk to patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA! See the attached thumbnails at the bottom.
My steps:
1) Upgrade to the latest OTA from myPhone (1.0.3). In the event that you can’t download it through your phone, I’ve uploaded it to MEGA: https://mega.nz/#!Ndw3TYrR!nozVRHC1M4ugn-_PKzC7tn1fAAV6w7bB7Iq2uRr8FHA
1a) I had to manually reboot into recovery to install the update. Power off the phone, hold power + PTT until you see the myPhone logo. Once you see the dilapidated robot, tap and hold power then vol + (in that order!!!).
2) The update should be on your external SDcard. Select it and wait for the install to finish.
3) After the install completes, reboot to your system and install the Magisk Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
3a) If you want to use my patched boot and scatter, skip steps 4, 5, and 6 and go to step 7. Patched boot, Scatter, Magisk.apk and Stock Recovery: https://mega.nz/#!YAQ3BQyS!dJjw-O9pyB7ra2q3qrheo7VFXeyUc4MmW1aqbBqTi6I
4) From within the Magisk Manager, go to settings, enable BETA. Go back to the main Magisk screen and select install. Select patch boot. Patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA.
5) Once that’s done, Magisk will spit a patched_boot.img to your Magisk forlder on your internal drive. Copy that over to your PC (or email it to yourself, my PC couldn't see it for some reason).
6) If you don’t already have a working SCATTER file, you’ll need to download one. The only one I’ve found that works is in this ROM: https://www.needrom.com/download/myphone-hammer-axe-m-lte/
7) Grab SP Flash Tool: https://spflashtool.com/ , launch it, load the SCATTER file, either the one from the .zip I provided or the one from the ROM on needrom.com (they’re the same), uncheck all the boxes in the lower half of the SP Flash Tool window except for the boxes to the left of the boot and recovery rows. Click in the “location” field on the right-hand side of the window, a dialog will pop up, choose the your patched boot image, if you’re using the one I provided it will be called “magisk_boot.img”. See attached thumbnail for reference.
8) Make sure that the field above the area with the content to flash is on DOWNLOAD ONLY. Make sure you don’t have and Android devices attached to your PC and upon successful inspection, click “Download”.
9) Turn off your myPhone AXE M LTE. Wait for it to fully power down (there will be an additional vibration after the screen goes blank). Attach the phone to the computer via the USB cable that shipped with it. If the SP Flash Tool is in a good mood, it should start flashing immediately (the bottom strip on the window will turn red, then yellow, then you’ll get a pop-up saying “OK!”). If SP Flash Tool is being an @$$, you may have to unplug the USB cable, hit “Download” again, plug the cable back in and repeat until SP Flash Tool correctly sees your phone.
10) Once you get the “OK!” box, reboot the phone. Go to Magisk Manager. Hit install. Choose the direct install (the third option, bezposrednie). Reboot the phone.
11) You should now be able to install XPOSED, VIPER, etc through the Magisk Manager. For XPOSED, make sure you’re using the MAGISK SPECIFIC APK (downloaded from with the Magisk Downloader, just click on the text describing the module and you’ll get a changelog): https://mega.nz/#!UYwExLjC!AAZi-qho0PHWNjXMzAikbTHmTjaEtYfLlqYeDbeJM14
Note: Everything I've tried except for the DOLBY modules has been working splendidly. If you brick yourself, just reflash the ROM from needrom.com and start over.
Thanks and credit:

Ok. Mine is still running 1.0.3. I bought it from Biedronka less than a year ago and it already had Marshmallow on it.
Well, I do not know if your procedure works on 1.2.0 and do not want to brick it.

Don't blame you. Hopefully they'll release the OTA you have for the rest of us and then we'll be able to see if the Magisk method works for it too. At the moment my aktualizacja program says that 1.0.3 is the latest OTA.
Files lacking in your upload?
Hello,
thank you for this tutorial. I encountered a few problems:
1) needrom.com requires not only an account, but also a premium one to download the file you linked.
2) Your scatter file was not accepted by my SP flash tool. I used the one I found somewhere else (searching by the CPU model) and it was accepted.
3) After I did this, I couldn't find magisk_boot.img which was supposed to be in your .zip archive. There is no such file there. There is only boot.img, but judging by the size this is an unpatched one you attached in point 4) of your tutorial.
4) I tried generating my own patched_boot.img and succeeded, but it is rejected by SP flash tool (wrong format or sth).
5) Only pair of boot and recovery files that was accepted is in "sig" folder of ur archive. But I have no idea what files are theese and I don't have the guts to try this.
I have no idea what to do now. Could you give me some clues?

Hey.
I'd tried contacting the original uploader of the needrom file but couldn't get through to him, so I've uploaded his rom to mega:
https://mega.nz/#!9UQh3CBK!LqmVOAxfoIstSVAPeypVzsi7G8PGWQWB_j9qcZB_-RI (this is the same rom from step 6)
As for points 2 through 5, sorry for any confusion, I went back and updated my links. This should resolve your difficulties (initial files I used at the time I wrote the guide): https://mega.nz/#!9UQh3CBK!LqmVOAxfoIstSVAPeypVzsi7G8PGWQWB_j9qcZB_-RI There should be three files inside, the scatter I used, the stock recovery and the modded boot image entitled "magisk-boot.img"
Alternate upload (this contains a modded boot for Magisk 16.6 plus the APK for Magisk Manager): https://mega.nz/#!YAQ3BQyS!dJjw-O9pyB7ra2q3qrheo7VFXeyUc4MmW1aqbBqTi6I
Note 1: on Linux I had to flash both the recovery and the modded boot at the same time because it kept hanging when I was only flashing the modded boot. I don't know why, I just troubleshot till it worked and that's why the stock recovery is included in the .ZIP I linked.
Note 2: I have a Hammer Axe M LTE (if you're in Poland, they were sold for 700zl at Biedronka). I don't know if this process will work on any other variant.
This is my MEGA folder for the Hammer: https://mega.nz/#F!hNAxAQBC!B0el82vXo1sKsEdIskoW1g

Okay... you have a "Rollback package" (C900 = free region). So now, you need to flash a complete firmware. It's easy with "dload" folder method.
Honor Chinese website doesn't give any firmware for Honor 8 now... I found B135 (Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.1 but you can do OTA updates, so it's good ) which will flash correctly on your phone and here is a link: https://mega.nz/#!ZgU22BYa!FP8UYXghy0dXxOYFeSf4BKdlF5_8AbVMKQ0ONkV5VpQ (It's for AL10 AND AL00 too, no worry!)
Steps for "dload" folder method:
0. Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop
1. Unzip firmware and copy dload folder to the phone (check if you have "dload/update.app" file - in SD card it's always working, but you can try internal storage too)
2. Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3. After long update, phone boot can be very slow (2-5 minutes) so wait patiently!
4. If successfully booted, check now if you have OTA updates. (you can delete the "dload" folder if all is okay then )

I don't know why it will can not work. It could be not pre-installed but you can install (and use) "Google services" APKs easily. (Don't forget to allow "Storage" permission / give full permissions)
Total size of the firmware given above is 5.29 GB (!!!) and you need to use "7-zip" to extract .tar.gz archive inside "Soft..." or "...Soft" folder. Extract archive again until you have "dload" folder which have "UPDATE.APP" file and 5 directories.
If I knew your phone model (AL00 or AL10?), I can try to give you the last firmware allowed to install on your phone (the "FullOTA" one - complete package firmware).

EDIT: Check your vendor info, type this phone number: *#*#2846579#*#* then go to "Network Information Query" > "Vendor Country Info". If you see "Vendor: all" and "Country: cn" = OK you can follow:
EDIT 2: If you see "allwyf" in vendor info, tell me and I will give you the good zip files!
Try to flash FRD-AL10C00B396 - "all-cn" vendor - January 2018 security patches included, via dload method. But there is 3 files to flash (in order!):
0) Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop.
/!\ It's better to use a SD Card, don't know if it works if you send files into Internal Storage! /!\
First flash: update.zip
1) Unzip archive, create "dload" folder inside root of SD Card memory if not present -or- delete "dload" content if exists, then transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory.
2) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3) First Boot can take some minutes, wait patiently...
Second flash: update_full_FRD-AL10_all_cn.zip
4) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
5) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
6) And... Boot again... ^^
Third flash: update_data_full_public.zip
7) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
8) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
9) All files were flashed! OTA update will not give you updates because it's the latest OTA update (currently)...
10) If any issue, Factory Reset can help.
