Thanks to OP for the translation!

sorry mods if this is bypassing the spam guards.

i cant get OTA UPDATES after unlock the bootloader LOL

They do warn you specifically that pushed updates will no longer happen.
I think the solution is to find the updates from ASUS and use an app like FlashFire

There is a request for a Rom on the cyanogen forums.
Xposed worked like a charm.
It also appears that the kernel source is available although I'm not sure from where.
Still not sure where to find the ASUS updates

Thank you very much it works perfect, but how do you flash the recovery.img and boot.img to un-root?

TWRP Decrypted and Couldnt Mount Storage
Thanks for the guide, its 100% worked!
But I have a problem. I couldnt mount storage to instal ZIP file. Also my TWRP said its encrypted, and i dont what password to decrypt is.
Anybody know how to solve this?

Is there any CN stock recovery to download?

i got error device 'null' not found when trying to sideload the supersu. help me please

Hello, I have this device from another retailer, it has Marshmallow on top and when I flash this image the device bootloops. Is there any way to help me build CWM or TWRP for my device running 6.0? Thank you in advance.
PS: I can send any img file (system,recovery,boot) I have the complete package to flash it with SP Flashtool.

I don't know. Do you have the full MM rom zip? My phone is still on 5.1.
Well, I do have it but your phone will have excessive battery drain while wifi is on. I'm trying to fix it but I think the problem is the wifi driver. And it will have the company's applications. I can send you the image but we have to keep it secret because I will be fired from the company. If you want I can make a pre rooted ROM to flash with cwm. The device has thousands of wakeups from the wifi Android system UI.

Tutorials and the tools are not my work, so I don't take any credit. However, the tutorial is come from China. I combine my experience and translate them as much as I can to english.
Instructions:
First, download the root files (at the bottom of this post) accroding to your tablet model (at the back of your tablet) and install the driver in the computer.
Please install in the following order:
1) iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0.exe
2) IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
3) PhoneFlashTool_5.3.4.0_win32.exe
Pay attention to the following points
a) you must install those driver in the above order
b) Don't change the install location of those driver
c) Close your antivirus software to avoid unknow problem
Then, go to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging. Enable OEM Unlock and enable USB Debugging Mode
Now, connect your X80 Plus to the computer,
Open a Command Prompt window in "Root X80 Plus H6C3" folder (To open a Command Prompt window in any folder, hold down the shift key and right-click on the folder) and enter the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Press Enter
Wait for the device to enter fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Press Enter to unlock the oem and enter the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press enter to flash the kernal, then enter the following command
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command will restart your tablet.
It is normal that tablet reboot 3 to 4 times automatically, just wait for it. (turn on the tablet yourself if the tablet do not reboot automatically)
After your device is on, check that Wifi and bluetooth works or not. (Wifi and Bluetooth may not works with the replaced kernal, just perform a factory reset)
If everything is ok, enter the following command
Code:
root.bat
Wait for the Command Prompt until it stuck at this command, "adb shell su --daemon"
Now, disconnect the tablet and reboot it manuly
After the device was booted up, Supersu already become a part of system app.
Open Supersu now, it will notify that the SU binary needs to be updated. You must need to install the binary once, but you will fail at 100%(unless there is a miracle, and your tablet is root successfully, congratulations)
Close Supersu and reconnect the tablet, enter the following command again.
Code:
root.bat
Now the command prompt should run all of the command smoothly and Supersu should have no message about the SU binary update !!
Therefore, if your Supersu shows nothing (works properly), your tablet is rooted, thats amazing.
If Supersu keep notifing, please enter the following command again and wait for it to boot up automatically until Supersu have no message about the binary update.
Code:
root.bat
Note that this root method are not stable yet
Known issues:
1) Old version of Titanium Backup was unable to execute the SU command
2) LBE are not 100% compatible with this root
Post reply if you have any requires or problem.
Stock Rom for X80 Plus just in case you need them, and the instruction will be translated later

WARNING TO H6C4 OWNERS! SD Card becomes unusable with this rooting files. Any SD Card after rooting recognized as 0,9 Mb size and you can't access files on it. You can't use SD Card reader too.
Please report if you do not encounter this issue.
Hi.
I'm stuck on "adb push SUfiles/Superuser.apk /data/superuser" command in root.bat
I've done all the previous steps without problems.
Before executing root.bat I have set again Usb Debug and OEM Unlock, is it correct?
Sometimes I get stuck on "adb remount"
What can I check?
Thanks

[X553] recowvery, unlock, root Infinix HOT 3 LTE potential - with TWRP

Notice : I don't own the device my self, so i need some one to test this method.
This will allow you to install TWRP and flash SuperSU!
Step 1 : Unlocking your bootloader
You need unlock bootloader first before installing twrp.
You will also need adb and fastboot. You can download them in a portable small form factor here :
[ADB FASTBOOT][LINUX&WINDOWS]
Start by turning on developer options in Settings -> About device -> Software info -> Build number. (tap 7 times until it's enabled)
Now navigate to Settings -> Developer options -> OEM unlock. (turn it on)
Don't ever turn OEM unlock or Developer options off when using a custom ROM or recovery. This could lose to loss of all your data.
Enable usb debugging on developer option, and extract adb and fastboot to a folder on your PC.
Type adb start-server and make sure to check the notification on your phone to accept debugging authorization.
You can reboot into fastboot mode with adb reboot bootloader once authorized.
If it fails to authorize or show the notification on your phone, you may need to try other USB ports.
You can check the status of your bootloader lock with the fastboot getvar all command.
ex. (bootloader) unlocked:yes
Step 2 : Running recowvery
You can find the recowvery binaries (you need to download all of these) at :
Here
You're now ready to follow the recowvery installation instructions.
See here (running section)
Bonus: There's also a full write up on that page on how recowvery works if you're into that kind of stuff.
Step 3 : Flashing TWRP & Rooting
Once you've got your permissive shell in adb, you will have access to your partitions via dd.
You should transfer TWRP to your internal storage (name in twrp.img) using MTP, or you can also just use adb push. (mentioned here)
Download TWRP build here.
This step requires that you've used dirtycow to replace /system/bin/run-as with recowvery-run-as. If you've rebooted since doing that, you will need to go back and do that again.
Code:
adb push twrp-3.0.2-x-xxxx.img /sdcard/twrp.img
adb shell
$ run-as exec dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
"<wait for it to complete>"
$ reboot recovery
You should be inside TWRP now. It will ask you if you want to enable system modifications. You should swipe yes, otherwise your OS will replace TWRP on next boot.
Flash the latest zip from here to turn off forced encryption at boot and allow you to boot a modified system. If you're flashing SuperSU.zip, it will also do this for you so this won't be necessary.
Warning: If you don't flash either no-verity-opt-encrypt or SuperSU, you will probably end up in a horrifying never-ending boot loop of "corruption"!
Latest SuperSU : here
To disable encryption after flashing SuperSU or the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip, you must use the [Format Data] button on the Wipe page in TWRP. No other options will work.
Back up all your internal storage and apps data that you can to your PC. You can use Titanium Backup with SuperSU before doing this step if you like.
Warning: Using [Format Data] will wipe all your apps and data (including internal storage) off the phone, giving you the out-of-the-box experience of a new phone!
Once this is done, you should be able to backup/restore/use any function of TWRP without any issues.
Flashed SuperSU? You're done! Boot up (it will reboot a few times) and set up your SuperSU Manager to your liking and give this post a thanks!
Step 4 : Have fun!
Thanks for this great work brother
But sorry i can't try any thing right now because I have exams nowadays
I want to tell you also that I just rooted successfully my hot 3 lte now using kingoroot apk with out using pc 😄😄😄

SOME INFO:
MT6737/M (they seem to be the same thing)
Antutu Score: 30052 [source]
As of Jan 6 2018, latest official firmware is v13 06292017.
A. Root
Disclaimer: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not assume any responsibility for your own actions on your phone. Follow the instructions carefully, and ask questions if you're unsure.
Tested way: Magisk Manager patched boot method
Other option: SRS Root reports to root the v12 firmware, though I didn't use this method so I don't know if it works.
Magisk Manager Patched Boot Method
1. Unlock your bootloader (Note: this will factory reset your phone and you will lose all your personal data) To do this:
Enable bootloader unlock inside developer options, accessed by pressing build number 7 times in settings. Thanks @Nao Tomori !
Install adb and fastboot on a computer (Search it, it's available)
Reboot to fastboot mode (Switch off phone, press power and volume up simultaneously. Choose fastboot mode from the menu that appears)
Connect to computer by USB Cable provided
Open a command prompt or terminal and check if fastboot detects your device by typing
Code:
fastboot devices
A device number should appear. If nothing appears, it's a most likely driver problem. Click this button to know more.
Linux doesn't need drivers so try using fastboot in linux. If you really want to do it in windows, try PDANET drivers while connected in fastboot mode. No guarantees. I'm using a linux machine to specifically avoid this hassle
​
We're now gonna unlock your bootloader. Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and confirm unlock by clicking volume up on your phone.
Reboot and go through all the necessary set-up.​2. Download Magisk Manager from here and install the APK.
Make sure you download the latest apk version provided.
Note it says that Magisk itself is not yet installed.
We've only installed the helper app.
3. Flash Patched Boot Image
At this point you have two options: extract and patch your own boot image, or just use my patched boot image. I will assume you pick the second but this REQUIRES that you are on the same v13 06292017 official firmware. PM me if you want to do the first one. Download my patched boot image.
Download​
Move the file to a known location that's easy to type (home directory or C Drive)
Reboot to fastboot mode, same as before
Flash with fastboot then reboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
​CONGRATS! Magisk should now be installed and along with it, Magisk's Superuser
Press thanks if it helped you! And/or leave feedback if it worked for you, and if your setup differed from mine. Thanks
MODS
B. Mods
1. Xposed Framework (systemless)
Install Xposed framework from within Magisk. Install API24.
Then reboot. This first boot takes really long. I pulled out my battery once, then the next time it successfully booted after a while.
Install topjohnwu's Xposed apk from his systemless Xposed thread.
It will tell you that Xposed is installed but not active yet.
Reboot one last time
2. Dolby Atmos (systemless)
Install from within Magisk. Confirmed working!
RECOVERY
Reserved
If you get fail operation
If you get
Code:
FAILED (remote:
Unlock operation is not allowed
)
Just go to Developer Settings > OEM Unlocking and enable it.
I used PDAnet for Windows and it worked

hi there bro. i just want to know, is there a custom rom that we can use for this phone? i have the same exact phone but i cannot find any articles about any other custom roms that has been used on this phone. hoping to hear from you. thanks.
And another thing, can we use TWRP for this phone?
Hello. Is there anyone here who has a clean stock rom for Starmobile UP Prime? The phone keeps popping up ads and redirecting to chrome/google play. Contact names sometimes disappear too. I ran the malwarebytes app and it said that "Settings" app is the malware. I downloaded and flashed another rom before (I forgot from what website), but same experience. Hoping for helpful response.

WARNING #1: Unlocking BL and flashing a custom recovery voids your warranty. Please make sure to contact your carrier/seller if your phone is still under warranty after unlocking the bootloader.
WARNING #2: Make sure you have enabled OEM unlock and unlocked bootloader before trying to flash this. How you can successful root and install TWRP will be described below.
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
HOW-TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1. Get bootloader Unlock code here
2. Install minimal adb and fastboot
3. Plug in your phone and make sure all huawei drivers got installed
4. Enable developer options in settings as described above.
5. Enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging (both in developer options)
6. Open the adb tool you installed recently

HOW-TO INSTALL
Make sure you enabled OEM unlock in settings, if you haven't please do that now by tipping 10 times on build number (to activate developer options), than open developer options and go to OEM unlock, enable it
Have an unlocked bootloader is required! (In my case, I login the unlocker website at provide necessary information and get the unlock code so try yourself !!!)
Download the TWRP recovery from the download section below
Make sure you got fastboot drivers installed (I will describe this below in how to unlock your bootloader)
Open the adb/fastboot application on your pc and go to the directory where your TWRP img file is downloaded
Boot your phone into download mode (First method: fastboot reboot-bootloader while connected to pc. Second method: power off your phone, hit power on and volume down until it boots to download mode)
Check again if there is written: unlocked phone!
If yes type now into your adb/fastboot terminal:
Code:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
