Before we proceed, let me remind you guys, that you are doing this at your own risk and no one is to be held responsible!!!
This ROOTing procedures and installing of CWM works perfectly on my device, so read and follow all the instructions carefully!!!:fingers-crossed:

Preloader.bin file
Click to expand...

Moving on...
1. Extract all the files you downloaded from the links above on your desktop, and it's better to put them on same folder.
2. Right cllick on SP Flashtool and run as administrator.
3. Click on Scatter-Loading and look for the "ScatterFile".
4. Uncheck everything except for the recovery and look for "recovery.img" and hit enter, F9, or download button.
5. Click yes then turn off your phone, remove and put back the battery.
6. SP FlashTool will start downloading the custom recovery image.
7. Wait until finish downloading...the next screen will appear and hit enter.
Congratulations!!! You have now a Custom Recovery installed. Turn your phone off, and just press VOL UP + POWER BUTTON to enter into your new recovery.
NOW your phone is ready for customization, but before doing that...SECURE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!
I dont have customROM available for this device yet, but thanks to rovo89 for his great Xposed Framework
With this great application, you can now modify your ROM without modifying any APK's or flashing from recovery!!!
Some customization done on my phone is the APM (advance Power Menu)
Volume option to set independently
I also managed to backup the stock ROM of this device, that can be easily download back to your phone by means of SP FlashTool. (assuming you have messed up your phone system and failed to work properly)
Other purpose of the full backup is for the customROM, (wish that some of our good devs here might find time to take a look and help us make a customROM out of it)
I'm not good of creating customROM, but I'm hoping that I could build one...regards to all!!!:fingers-crossed:
This is my first thread so please consider this , just post any comment if i missed anything...thanks!!!

It is safe. I have been using it on my Karbonn Titanium S6. I have also create CTR Touch recovery and TWRP Recovery for Karbonn Titanium S6. I will upload them if anybody needs.
The phone can become bricked for many reasons - It can become bricked if you try to flash wrong pre-loader in SP Flash Tools. So when you use SP Flash Tools, select only Recovery and de-select everything else. Also use only Download Only mode in the SP Flash Tools., other modes can overwrite memory and brick your phone.

pleas help me!!!
i dont press volume down to OK mode my phone is huawei y560 u02
please help me. his does not work for my phone. no download mode no recovry!!
just this screen and volume down Does not work

Want to install custom recovery and root to your brand new Ulefone Be Touch?
I bought mine from http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_194400.html
I tried Kingroot, VRoot and this Be Pro recovery & root http://www.needrom.com/download/root...ipop-20150529/ but these didnt work for me.
So i unpacked that Be Pro recovery image and mixed it with Be Touch stock recovery image and repacked that. Also modified stock Be Touch boot.img.
Now we have working Carliv Touch Recovery (Thanks Carliv) and root in Be Touch.
This rar includes SP Flash Tool, drivers, boot.img, recovery.img and SuperSu installer which you have move to your sd card and install from custom recovery.
Instructions:
-Extract RAR
-Put UPDATE-SuperSu to your phones storage
-Install drivers to PC
-Open SP Flash Tool
-Check boot and recovery and select files from files-folder (Uncheck others if they are checked)
-Push download button
-Remove battery from the phone and connect USB
-Disconnect USB when SP Flash Tool says OK
-Install battery and start phone with vol up + power
-Select install zip from sdcard and select super su
-Reboot phone and you are done
-Click thanks if you are satisfied
UPDATE
Here is new boot.img and recovery.img for rom version "20150806" http://www.megafileupload.com/54gw/B...very082015.rar
Download link http://www.megafileupload.com/Pc9/ROOT_Be_Touch.rar

So I'm guessing all we have to do is install the drivers, open the flash tool, point the recovery and boot image in there, flash then after install the root zip from internal/external card and all will be working?

I would say proceed as mentioned in the steps above. You are just repeating what has been mentioned above

Thank you for that 1st rooting technique.
Did you know if OTA updates are still working with it ?

Took 1 minute to root! Phantastic, thank you a lot for that easy description!

» Non-rooted devices
Magisk 14.0 introduces a new and neat method to install on non-rooted Android devices. This new process doesn’t require your device to be rooted, nor does it require a custom recovery like TWRP. But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.
But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.img dump placed in the internal storage.
Make sure that you enable USB debugging and setup ADB access first, you will need it later in the guide.
Download Magisk Manager 5.3.0: Link
When the APK has been downloaded, use a file manager to install it. Now run the app from the app drawer.
Go to the app settings and tap on “Patched Boot Output Format”. You can select “.img.tar” if you will be using ODIN to flash the file or else simply select “.img” for the rest of the devices.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go back to the app main screen and tap on the “Install” button. Go to INSTALL > PATCH BOOT IMAGE FILE.
Navigate through the storage and select the stock boot.img file. As soon as you select the stock boot.img file, the app will download the installer to patch the image.
Once the process is complete, you can tap on the “CLOSE” button.
Your new and patched boot image now include root and support for modules. So the last step is to grab this boot file and flash it your device via fastboot or ODIN (Depending on the output format you chose in step #4).
Connect your device to the PC via USB cable and navigate to the Magisk Manager folder inside the storage. Your “patched_boot.img” file will be present right there. So copy it to your PC.
Move the “patched_boot.img” file to C:/adb folder. And type in the following command to boot your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your phone enters the bootloader/fastboot mode, enter the command to flash the file:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Finally, reboot your device:
fastboot reboot
That’s all, you have just installed one of the most trending mod out there and especially on your non-rooted device without any need of a custom recovery. Isn’t it great? Tinker around with the app and see what all things you could do.

I can confirm this is working! Thank you!

Reporting working on Android O (8.0), I download update from Asus and patch boot image. Thanks

I know it's been some time since this was discussed, but I am trying to go through this process. Can you confirm that you unlocked the bootloader on 8.0 with the Asus tool? Or did you install magisk without unlocking the bootloader (if that's possible)?
thanks

I don't think the unlocker tool works anymore.

How to Install Custom ROM on any Android Device
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED CYANOGENMOD ON YOUR TABLET!​huge thanks to DavidRGX for making this custom ROM

First of all, big thanks, it worked without any bugs.
However, it's honestly going slower for me than the stock rom, system it's taking up to 750mb of ram which is way worse than in stock rom even with a bunch of moderately heavy apps like youtube, and a faster even if marginally rom it's exactly the point here, do you know what might be causing it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...iple-swap-space-in-cache-data-system.2145133/
Would that work with this tablet and rom?, i have a working backup so i'm not trying to be a toxic dude who's blaming you for my own irresponsability.
By the way, i had apps moved into external sd in stock rom, they don't show up in apps manager right now as it was expected, but could that be causing some kind of conflict?
cheers mate!

Ok, for anyone having issues with the ram, scroll down this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/cyanogenmod-12-1-lenovo-tab-3-710f-unofficial.3771079/
There`s a patch for the ram memory leak with instructions, it works

I am unable to boot in TWRP after flashing it through SP tool. It bootloops and start in stock rom after that it shows stock recover

Flashing TWRP works, but it gets stuck on the TeamWin logo for me. Any fixes?

Any help on this?
Thanks in advance!
