Gionee Marathon M5 (Allview Energy P8)
I've been looking for this myself for several days now.
I managed to get ADB to work fine on MtkDroidTools & SP Flash Tool (SPFT) using the Gionee_Driver_Install_v2.1.0.exe drivers.
I've also managed to manually get a mapping of the scatter regions (scatter file), dump a full image of the ROM (hopefully valid) using SPFT, but when I try to load it back in MDT and it starts unpacking it, it fails complaining about being unable to find the signature for the boot.img image. This is probably because my retailer (Allview) has their own flavor of the boot image which they didn't sign.
On top of that, they've also added a boot-recovery script called /system/recovery-from-boot.p which runs on boot and is (supposedly) meant to overwrite/restore any changes made to the recovery/boot partition.
This is as far as I've got. It's tricky. I'll need to look further into this...
Device details (rebranded version of Gionee Marathon M5):

Kingo Root doesn't have an exploit, I have tried the above

Tried it all
I've also tried all the methods I could find on Google and none seem to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i don't know nothing about Mtk phones, but because i have this phone i started to learn. Also i saved OTA from allview who contain boot.img, maybe it will be helpfull

Apologies to criszz, I had to go into developer settings and tick 'Enable OEM Unlock' then boot into fastboot and do as he suggested. And success, but without a working custom rom i'm not sure what use it is

You can make and flash custom recovery
After that you can make an fresh backup and put it here.

Thank you very much for the firmware!!!
Can I ask how to install it, please? SP flash tool or TWRP recovery?
In more, before to install the firmware, I would need to make a back up of my NVRAM and IMEI: so I need to root my current android.

Nope. You can make a back up with SpFlashTool, root is not required. Look at the forum how to use the function "Read Back" of SpFlashTool.

Root or custom recovery is currently unavailable for this ROM.
You can install this one - Acer_AV0L0_T04_1.001.00_EMEA_GEN2_(rooted), it's already rooted, you just have to install SuperSu from Play Store. Also there is a custom recovery for this ROM, look here. Guide to install it is here.
You can also install this ROM, but with this one you can't use 4g in Europe.
Thanks
Excellent!
Thank you a lot!
Question
Hello,
through your useful tips, I made a backup of my NVRAM.
Now I plan to install the ROM lollipop already rooted.
But during the procedure, I had a doubt that I would like to clarify before proceeding.
I have read that to install this kind of ROM, the bootloader has to be unlocked.
Please, can I ask if that is correct? Do I have really to unlock the bootloader before to flash the ROM?
If I have to unlock the bootloader, can you post a link with a valid guide, please?
In the advanced options of my device there is a button who says: ¨allow the OEM unlocking¨. Do I have perhaps to activate this option?
I think that this is the last information I need before to flash
I thank you in advance and I wish you a nice evening.
Greetings

Well, sincerely i don't know if bootloader unlocking is required for successful flashing, because I unlocked my device the fist day I bought it. So, when I decided to flash another ROM, my bootloader was already unlocked. But I think it's not obligatory.
Anyway, OEM unlocking is not complicated, so you can do it to be sure.
Attention! The OEM unlocking will erase your user data!
Firstly, allow USB debugging and OEM unlocking in the advanced options on your device.
Then, you have to install all the drivers. Please read with attention this manual.
(You can also read this thread)
Now unpack View attachment adb.rar to the root of drive C.
Connect your device to PC with the USB cable and confirm USB debugging.
Launch the windows command line (cmd) as administrator and type the following commands:
1) Go to the folder with adb:
Code:
cd C:\adb
2) Check if adb recognizes your device:
Code:
adb devices
If it recognize your device you will see your serial number. For example:
Code:
List of devices attached
TWGMIJGMFMDE65LR device
If the list of attached devices is empty, it means the drivers are installed incorrectly.
3) Reboot your device to the bootloader mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now you will see on your phone the black screen with "FASTBOOT mode" at the bottom.
4) Check if fastboot recognizes your device:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it recognize your device you will see your serial number.
5) Unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Confirm the unlocking on your device using the volume up key.
6) Reboot your phone to the normal mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done!
P.S. Sorry for my english.
Very good!
Easy and fast procedure.
To be sure, I will unlock the bootloader too.
No problem, also my english is not the top .
Thank you a lot for helping me.
Greetings!

Acer z630s db files
My acer z630s phone sn and imei is invalid. help how to input my imei number.
i nead acer liquid z630s mtk6753 db file.
sorry for english
Root is good! ... This ACER Z630s is a novum, - very special phone, - that will not come back on the market in near future, because of these five things:
1.) battery = big/removable, 2.) real dual-sim + SD, 3.) 3/32 GB, 4.) LTE/4G on both SIM, 5.) low price (new between 180 € and 300 €)!
For me, all the other missing features (Glossnast/Galileo, NFC, display-resolution (ppi), water-resistance, etc.) are not important (but yes, I miss them), because no other smartphone has all 5 points from above gathered in one phone! ... So why is the community only interested to develop TWRP or Lineage for more popular phones, though this very interesting one has still no root, since it was released in September 2015? - I would give my Note 4 for this phone - so good is it!

Hi,
Today, I tried rooting my Acer Liquid Z630S using Kingo One Click Root and I was successful. I tried using my PC. You can check for the detailed instructions on their official website. I don't know whether I can post other website links here but If you want, just let me know. Download KingoRoot (PC Version) if you prefer.

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with my Lava Pixel 2 phone?
I'll tell you what I did and what the problem is now.
Several days ago I wanted to upgrade from the stock Android 5 to 6.
My phone had not been rooted before.
I managed to root the phone and install TWRP Recovery on it, but I did not make a backup before I started
and made some changes that prevented me from making a useful backup after TWRP recovery was installed.
After several attempts at installing Android 6 I finally was able to install one (Ruben).
This version is very bad and I would like to either go back to V. 5 or a better V.6 or V.7
The main problems I have now are the following:
1. I can't boot back to the TWRP Recovery menu. Any attempt to do that starts up the phone!
2. I can't find the correct driver to allow my phone to communicate with my computer.
I get as far as my computer identifying the Phone by name, but I can't make a connection to transfer files etc.
Any help with this would be appreciated!
The easiest method is to flash twrp recovery by sp flashtool if you know how to use sp flashtool after that you can root your phone by magisk zip by flashing it in twrp after that install magisk manager this method is 100% working
This recovery works in both lava v2 2gb/3gb
Unzip the files first then you can get the files
Mtk windows 10 driver working in any windows like xp 7 8 10 install driver for phone it is for windows to detect phone while flashing using sp flashtool just download sp flashtool
disable signature enforcement in windows 10 so you can easily install driver
Works in both 2gb/3gb
Flash it using spflashtool

Thanks cool92rj.
Can we change directions a bit?
Since I made my post a couple of days ago a lot has changed.
First off, I was able to get back my Android v.5.1 stock ROM.
I did this by loading the VCOM USB drivers on my Win 8.1 notebook and running SP Flash Tool.
Then I installed ROM 5.1
It worked.
However I would like to try out various v.6 and v.7 ROMS.
Since rooting my phone, I have been unable to get back into TWRP's boot menu.
In fact, I believe TWRP is no longer on my phone!
And I don't even know if my phone is rooted anymore!
I downloaded the files you shared above.
When I tried to Download the TWRP Recovery.img I got a "PMT changed for the ROM it must be downloaded" Error.
I tried to resolve it by Formatting, but that just bricked my phone.
So I started again just now and re-installed ROM 5.1
Could you please give me specific instructions how to :
1. Install the correct TWRP recovery image to my phone?
2. Root my phone?
3. Allow me to try different ROMs?
Thanks!

fastboot boot superboot-athene_NPJ25.93-14_eng-noverity.img
- Go to Play Store, and install phh's SuperUser
- You should have root
Warning & attentions
- This is a temporary root, if you reboot your device, root will be lost (you have to boot the superboot img again)
- You can try to flash this superboot to get permanent root with
Code:
fastboot flash boot superboot-athene_NPJ25.93-11_eng-noverity.img
but it seems it doesn't work/the bootloader don't allow it on many variant
+1 booting the img file worked. Sadly flashing it didn't.
Hey guys, has anybody come up with a stable way of rooting the athene (Moto G4 Plus)? Wanna try the RR on it, but i am quite new to Motorola and the series of threads that i have read through doesn't actually give a specific guide to get done with it (seen many people ending up with a bootloop). And as i can see, there are not many posts on the latest NPJ25.93-11 build (i got my phone yesterday). Should i go with a guide and root it or wait some more time for a stable guide?

This is for last Nougat update, it's stable but you have to flash the root image every time you turn off you phone, it works like a temporal root.

Thanks for the reply. But can i install the Resurrection Remix ROM with a temporary root through flashify? as i understand with my little knowledge, it reboots to recovery to install the ROM and if the root is broken with that, does it affect the installation? I just don't want to end up with a fully bricked device on the second day xD so just making sure

Well you can try RR by flashing custom recovery (TWRP) . Root is not needed in that process.
I think waiting for stable version would be a better idea. Can you confirm about xposed on official Nougat, without xposed rooting is a waste for me?

Just to confirm, i need to unlock bootloader to install TWRP and i can install RR directly.. and i don't need to root my phone to install a custom ROM?

Yep need to unlock bootloader and install twrp. Unlocking it will erase data though.
Hi, does systemless magisk root work with the latest official build? I rooted the first soak test using this method.
Edit: Found answer elsewhere - causes bootloop for anyone wondering
FYI
How can I disable secure-mode from fastboot?
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>mfastboot [B]flash[/B] boot superboot.img
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'boot' (12092 KB)...

As Systemless Rooting modifies boot.img,
On stock boot.img it causes weird problem, so possible to root with Custom boot..?
I tried flashing Custom kernals available here, it cause bootloop, can you try making supported kernel for nougat and try root on it...?
I have no knowledge about how it works, it's just thought came in my mind...

How to do ROOT Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL with Magisk / NO SP Flash Tools

Hello guys. I'm from Brazil and I did not see anything about root here, just a post and very difficult for beginner users. I have done a complete tutorial in PT BR and resolve to translate here for you. Sorry for the mistakes in English, I used Google Translate. I also did a video explaining, you can understand very well, the process is simple, but I have detailed everything.
The ROOT process is extremely delicate and in some cases can damage the device, fortunately most of the time everything is reversible, but you must be very careful at each step of this guide. It is worth remembering that all the risk is on your account and I have tested all the procedures.
There is a method of doing ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL where SP Flash Tools software is used to install Custom Recovery and then install SuperSu for ROOT access. The problem with this method is that it did not work for me, and I received several types of errors between them.
ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
ERROR: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (0x13BE)
Both with no apparent solution, could be anything from drivers to the version of Android I'm using. As I understand it, SP Flash Tools only works with Android 6.0, and I'm in version 7.0.
Without further explanation, let's go to what matters in this tutorial:
How to make ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL
Reminding me that I am in ROM 7.0 version WW-14.12.1707.48. This tutorial is a bit different from what you're used to, and I need to explain why.
Unlock Bootloader for Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL
Asus provides an APK on its website to unlock the Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL bootloader, the problem is that this APK does not do much, for some reason it does not work fully.
But it can release some feature that allows the installation of a custom boot, which is what we will do in this tutorial.
Download the Asus APK UnlockTool: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
The APK does not fully unlock the bootloader, but it does release some important things. Install and authorize the APK to release Bootloader.
Install the APK;
Accept the terms;
Accept the unlocking of the Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL Bootloader;
If you do not perform this procedure, you may have the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed in locked state)" error - Thanks to User lukesouzaOFC DMC for warning.
As the bootloader is not unlocked 100%, it is impossible to pass a Custom Recovery and install SuperSu or Magisk and thus have ROOT access.
So the XDA user dr_awesome867 created a ROOT method on Zenfone 3 MAX using Magisk , the whole process is simple, but I'll detail step-by-step here so you do not have any questions or problems.
Basically what we will do is modify the boot of the original ROM of Zenfone 3 MAX through the Magisk and then install this boot by ADB.
ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL with Magisk
Download the ROM you are using, you can download the ROM from the Asus website, the server is very fast and the ROM is downloaded as well. To find out which ROM you should download, on your Zenfone 3 MAX, go to Settings> About> Software Information . I have ROM TW_14.12.1707.48_20170725;
ROM: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
Download ADB Shell, this package is the basics to be able to do the installation;
Download ADB Shell / Torrent 27Mb
Download Magisk Manager, and install it on your Zenfone 3 MAX;
Download Magisk Manager
In this part of the tutorial, the download of the ROM you downloaded should be over. Go to where you saved the ROM files and extract them. After extracting the files, you will see the file "boot.img", copy it to your mobile;
In Zenfone 3 MAX, open Magisk and select Install
In the next menu, Install again;
In this menu, select Patch Boot Image File;
Navigate and select the ROM boot you've placed on your phone;
Wait for the process to finish;
Magisk has created a file called "patch_boot.img" and it is located inside the Magisk folder in the root of your device. Take this file and put it in the folder of the Root Kit Zenfone 3 that you downloaded up there in step 3 (ADB Shell) - We will use this file and install it by ADB Shell, releasing ROOT in the device;
Still in Zenfone 3, turn on USB debugging to do so enable developer mode.
Go to Settings> About> and click Version Number several times;
Will enable developer mode, go back to Settings and go to Developer Options;
Go to Superuser Access and select Applications and ADB;
Go to the computer, in the folder you extracted the Root Kit (ADB Shell) and hold Shift and right-click anywhere on the screen and select Open Command Window here;
This command will make the Zenfone 3 MAX restart in FastBoot mode. If it gives a necessary authorization notice, go to Zenfone 3 MAX and give the debug permission;
Now, enter the command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
This command will install the boot customized by Magisk
The process is very fast, finished, type the command
Code:
fastboot reboot
To restart the Zenfone 3 MAX;
Open the Magisk and see the magic happening! You have ROOT on Zenfone 3 MAX ZC520TL with Android 7.0.
With Magisk installed, you have numerous advantages that SuperSu can not offer, such as being able to install Modules. Check out our article with The Top 10 Modules for Magisk .
Did it work out for you? Do you have any tips or questions? Leave it in the comments.

Hello. Is adb the same command as the adb when you installed Android Studio? Also, which one is the ROM version number?
Someone knows how to edit this rom to use in sp flash tool I need to return to this original rom of my device I changed the skull to WW now my chip is not recognized and via adb I can not change from ww to TW

Hey,
your work is great.
But I'd like to ask if it's possible to edit it, so it can be adapted to a linux system too (or may be You'd like to link me it).
Thanks anyway.

Hello
This is the post which helped me to get root access on this device.
I cannot post an url, so search this on Google : [ROOT] Lenovo K5 Pro L38041
And the Chinese ROM on Google : lenovo s5 pro firmware and the third searched link
Before get into the process of rooting, if you have a global rom, make a copy of it...
There is no global rom which you can download, so, I installed the chinese one, but it's ok, as soon as you get root you can easily delete all the bloatware. But, if somebody has the global rom, I kindly please to make a copy and share with us .

How did you go about installing the chinese rom? I accidentally flashed the chinese boot.img to mine, would like to install the rest of the chinese rom to fix it. Thanks
No luck on finding global firmware, or finding TWRP for this phone, but here's a quick guide I assembled for rooting the ZUI firmware:
Firmware Links:
https://yadi.sk/d/jvDlauax6DjGEQ/Firmware Lenovo S5 Pro L58041
Important: Make sure to install the Qualcomm drivers
bootloader unlock from:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=929173
To unlock bootloader:
"On the site https://www.zui.com/iunlock in the first field enter IMEI1.
In the second field, enter serial number from fastboot (not the one in the settings), then enter mail and verification code.
Tick the checkbox, the sn.img file will be sent by email
In the developer’s menu, enable boot loader unlock and enable USB debugging
Put the sn.img file into the folder with ADB.exe, Start cmd. prompt, enter the commands:"
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash unlock sn.img
3. fastboot oem unlock-go
Rooting guide:
Copy boot.img from firmware archive to phone, use Magisk Manager to patch the file. Copy patched_boot.img into folder with adb.exe
To flash your patched img:
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
3. fastboot reboot
Factory Reset:
