I managed to extract the stock recovery, I leave links below so that you can download them, although the reason why I needed to return to stock was because flash rom, lost the signal 4G telcel, and even with the update ota fails to recover, if You know some solution I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you very much !!!
The way to replace that I am going to use is by following this process (*) and where you go for flashify you use the stock image that you gave me instead of the TWRP .

Smart Ultra 6 - ROM 6.0.1. with ROOT

Hi i decided to post here the way to get the latest update ( 6.0.1 ) for VSU6 with ROOT.
First you need to be root and to have Custom recovery on your VSU6.
Then download the vsu6.zip, inside you'll find the stock ROM modded by me and SU.zip.
Reboot on your recovery, install the ROM its going to take a while so be calm and wait when finishes DO NOT REBOOT.
Install SU.
Now you can REBOOT your phone normally AGAIN ITS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO START but there you have it Smart Ultra 6 with root.

And, I can flash other partition, exept preloader and secro...
Hi, I have return my Phone, I have buy new One, less expensive (yes already discounted on the same website ! 15€ less !).

Hi, I have tried to read my NVRAM:
The computer say when I start my phone:
ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_DA_FAIL (0xC00660003)
What's append ?

Hi guys, I received yesterday my Oukitel k10000 pro. I put in root a dozen MTK phones but this one is very annoying.
I tried to make a root by fastboot by first unlocking the boot and then flashing the recovery with TWRP. with needrom method . Result: bricked phone, blocked on the start logo.
Required to flash with the original rom with the utility SP flash tools: always "ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_DA_FAIL (0xC00660003)"
finally it works if I format memory first ... the original rom is reinstalled but I lost nvram ... arrrrrrrggggggg
My phone is now in stock, but I lost my Imei ... dirt.
I was able to install TWRP via fastboot on the second try, TWRP starts in Russian and does not recognize the size of partitions that do all 0KB and can not mount partitions ..... I think this version of TWRP is not compatible yet with this phone!
I do not know what to do to root this damn phone properly.
*Has anyone managed to root this phone properly?
EDIT: Finally Nvram restored with SN_Writer_Tool_v1.1728 . Exellent software.

Wrote imei manually in engineering mode cause i not found it
The twrp on first post cause bootloop someone need to delete it...
BTW this is my temporary solution for root and use this phone:
1) i downgraded the phone to the previous build
2) after that I lose imiei
3) flashed twrp by needrom NB. (When u open this twrp u need to flash supersu or will get bootloop)
4) It will boot and u will get root
5) open engineering menu and open GPRS section, then fill imei manually and press write, reboot and voilà imei back and phone rooted.
Problems:
-U can't boot twrp after that or u will get bootloop(I think) if someone's want to test...
-U need to stay on older build to have it working
-If u upgrade u lose root
-SuperSU not pass safety net
Pro:
-U have root and imei back
Ps. I'm totally a noob on battery related stuff... I bought this phone for his battery... But my question is: after all this flash to get all working (before found this solution I flashed like 20 times) I need to make a cycle of battery charge or it is OK? Thanks
MT6755
Hey!
Anyone knows that is there a rom for MT6755? I have that version on my K10000 Pro,
and currently phone is without an OS.. So im kinda stuck in here.
Or is it that i just don't know what im doing..? ^^ First time rooting.
It went sideways, and phone has only twrp flashed.
Personally, I resold it. the sound is really execrable.
The K10000 max impressed me so I ordered one despite I dont real need one
I hope OREO will come soon
there is a new version on needrom.com OUKITEL_K10000_Pro_V6.0_20170726. but the recovery from V.1 is not working.. (cant go to reecovery and creates bootloop) if u find a new recovery pls post it here. Thx in advance!

Can't update

My device is rooted and i have installed a TWRP recovery, & i want to update it, but always stuck at the recovery mod with ERROR 7!! help plz
This is because you're trying to update without flashing back stock recovery.img of your firmware build, and TWRP isn't able to analyze and confirm the update package as valid before starting the update process.
To update correctly, extract the recovery.img (32MB like) from your update package (probably you'll need to downlaod the update.zip of your actual firmware if you didn't stored a copy) using Huawei Update Extractor program, flash it by ADB in the same way you flashed TWRP and once done, update again. Then you can flash TWRP again.

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:

etc.
Credits: Thanks to suninterbru for the bootloader unlock link.
Thanks to 4pda members for firmware links etc

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?
Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.
Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?
@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Oops, my bad. Here's the link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Thank You
@SkynyrdZ
Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.
I am waiting for my U7 arrived. Any one try this website :

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.
TWRP recovery for root with magisk from 4PDA Forum.
and firmware. Gome_2017M27A_MT6757_V01 (U7_GM_00_V1.0)
And I found root guide from GOME U Series Forum. (Chinese) It is same as this website.
(I am waiting my U7 delivery too.)

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?
The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.
Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.
Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

Thanks. It work great. It is so simple to make the phone root with TWRP. After flashing patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file then go to Recover mode, install Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.
