Root Infinix Zero 5 (X-603) (Systemless root Support OTA)

Systemless Root Magisk Beta 15.2 ( Thanks @topjohnwu for Magisk)
As it is systemless so it doesn’t change system file. It only changes in Boot image.
Whenever you got OTA just Reflash Stock Boot img and update your device to latest version.
This Boot.img is taken from latest version of XUI 3.0 Nougat version Build No. X603-H575A-N-IN-171227V175. So When it will update need to Patch again boot.img with updated version or this can also be used.

You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on you
1.Sp Flashtool
2.Fastboot

Because you flash boot.img as recovery
That why your phone is getting that fault
You are suppose to flash boot
Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img OK
Or use sp flashtool or miracle box
I included the scatter file

I have the twrp but it doesn't touch only if you use otg with Mouse

Alternative scatter file for MT6750
Hi lmkratos,
thank you very much!
This worked like a charm but I had to use a different scatter file (attached here) as the P8 Max has a MT6750 (not MT6755) and the PMT didn't match so spflash refused to flash boot ("PMT changed for the ROM").
If you happen to be on Linux: spflash works perfectly but take care to stop ModemManager (WAN modems) before flashing as it interferes, so
"service ModemManager stop".

rec Please send it, thank you

[GUIDE] P20 Pro Android 8.x How to Root

For those who would like to root, but not install any version of TWRP, here is a guide I put together. Hopefully it's easy enough and specific enough to understand:
1. Be sure to download the firmware you are CURRENTLY on to avoid any possible issues. Find it under SETTINGS, SYSTEM, ABOUT PHONE, BUILD NUMBER. The region is in parenthesis and the firmware version is the last three digits.
2. Extract the RAMDISK.img file using this Huawei Updater Extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
3. Obtain a previously patched RAMDISK file to get an initial Magisk install on your phone first. There is one on XDA floating around named CLT-29-MAGISK.img.
4. Boot into ***FASTBOOT and then get to a CMD window with your ADB tools and use the command "fastboot flash ramdisk CLT-29-MAGSIK.img"
5. Reboot the phone and download Magisk Manager 5.5.5. There may be other versions that work, but this version worked every time for me.
6. After installing Magisk Manager 5.5.5, install the next two upgraded versions while INSIDE Magisk Manager until you get to 7.1.x.x. To avoid any issues with Magisk Manager, don't exit out of the application until you install 7.1.x.x.
7. Click INSTALL on the first option next to the word MAGISK in Magisk Manager to patch your freshly extracted RAMDISK.img file from Step 2. Magisk Manager does not allow for direct installation of the Magisk zip file any longer so you need to patch a stock RAMDISK file to be flashed in Step 9.
8. Copy that RAMDISK.img file to your PC and place the file in your ADB tools folder. It would be good to save a copy of this file for later if you need to re-root. By doing so, you can avoid steps 1-3.
9. Boot into FASTBOOT and then get to a CMD window with your ADB tools and use the command "fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img"
10. Reboot and you'll have root!
***FASTBOOT
To boot into FASTBOOT, turn off phone, hold down the VOLUME DOWN button for a few seconds, and while still holding it plug your charging cable into the phone. The screen should turn on with a white background indicating you are in FASTBOOT mode.

Hi good guid, I flashed version 9.0.0.252 and had a lot fc. back to 215, everything works, any idea what the latest European working version clt-lgrp2-ovs 9.0.0??

[ROOTED] Lava X81 using Magisk Manager by patching stock boot image (No TWRP)

Thanks alecks!!!!:highfive:
------------------------------------------------------------
Youtube Video Assistance:
Video Name: How to root Android using Magisk Manager & stock boot.img
Channel : Hovatek
------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS :
(0) Unlocked Bootloader
To unlock bootloader in Lava X81 by Fastboot mode use the command
fastboot oem unlock #unlock bootloader via fastboot mode
{{{{{ NOTE: Unlocking bootloader in Lava X81 will erase all the user data. So please take a backup before unlocking bootloader. }}}}}
(1) Stock boot.img for your phone model (its best its for your Build Number / Variant ) . You can extract from the stock rom / firmware of your device (you may check our collection at https://forum.hovatek.com/forum-89.html ) OR backup from your device using a hardware box e.g Miracle Box, CM2, Nck Box Pro etc
(2) Download Latest Magisk Manager {Currently 7.3.0 (220)}
(3) Active internet connection on your Android device
(4) A windows 10 Laptop
---------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS :
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img
1. Install Magisk Manager 7.3.0 (220) APK on your android device.
2. Copy the stock boot.img of Lava X81 to your phone's internal storage or SD card whereever you want (Internal Storege\Dowloads is the better option)
3. Launch Magisk Manager app and check for latest updates. After the updates you will see that Magisk Manager is up to date.
4. Then, Select (Magisk is not installed. Latest 19.3 (19300)) Install > (Install Magisk) Install > Select and Patch a File >
5. Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on (select Dowloads option or in my case, I used ES File Explorer File Manager), then Select it
6. Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file for our arm64-v8a Device platform.
7. Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under
/storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched.img
(Then I renamed it as "patched_boot.img" for our convenience)
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
Among a variety of options to flash, I preferred Fastboot method
(0) Connect your Lava X81 one or two times to the PC (for preinstalling drivers)
(1) Boot your Lava X81 into fastboot mode.
(2) Open platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows.zip file
(3) Simultaneously press Keyboard's Shift key and Right click on the mouse, to open PowerShell window
(4) On the PowerShell use the following codes to flash:
Starting from phone's normal usb debugging mode,
adb devices #Ensures your phone connectivity in ADB (Android Debug Interface) mode via USB Debugging
adb reboot-bootloader #Reboot your phone to Fastboot Mode from ADB
fastboot devices #Ensures your phone connectivity in Fastboot mode
fastboot getvar unlocked #To check whether the bootloader is unlocked or not. It should be unlocked to proceed further steps
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img #Flash the Magisk Patched Boot image file in Fastboot Mode
fastboot reboot #Reboot to the system from exiting Fastboot Mode​
(5) Congrats and check with a Root checker app for root status. While checking for root status itself pop out for root permission.

Root Lava X81 using Magisk Manager by patching stock boot image (No TWRP)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/zjb78878i52865c/Root_Lava_X81_using_Magisk_Manager_by_patching_stock_boot_image_%2528No_TWRP%2529.zip/file

It is worked successfully guys!
Try it.
Two Bugs:
1. Cannot try reboot to the stock recovery. It strucks. You have to switch off and switch on the phone. During this your phone will make fear "Performing factory reset". Don't worry! blah blah blah...
SO YOU MUST DEVELOP TWRP RECOVERY FOR LAVA X81
2. Cannot flash .zip files using Magisk only. It every time asks TWRP or any other recovery to flash the zip file.
So you must develop TWRP recovery for Lava X81
3. While installing SuperSU it says "binary occupied" by MagiskSU. So apps like FlashFire won't flash zip file.
4. Don't try to uninstall stock YouTube app & and replace it with YouTube vanced app. Use YouTube Vanced the app for no root along with MicroG. But YouTube vanced 14.21.54 seems to be exceptional.
