Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it? - General Questions and Answers

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

@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.

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!

This is because I think you format your phone by sp flashtool that's why it's not a big problem it will be OK

"Portable" TWRP porter [MTK] [TWRP 3.0.2 - 3.1.1]

There are many k8/k10 models and each models have many different firmware which requires unique TWRPs.
It's impossible to make only one TWRP working for all models however this tool can help you easily port your own TWRP (from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1, whichever you prefer).
This srcipt is only for MTK devices. Qualcomm support can be added once anyone having a qualcomm device will be able to boot into anything from fastboot.
(at the moment no one can "fastboot boot any.img" on a qualcomm device)
TWRP 3.0.2:
Just download this file: http://viid.me/qopRut)
(for 32bit windows download this: http://viid.me/qopRlZ)
TWRP 3.1.0:
http://viid.me/qRlxPx (64bit windows)
TWRP 3.1.1:
http://destyy.com/qFank3 (64bit windows)
http://corneey.com/q4KEZt (32bit windows)
Uncompress it, put your stock recovery image (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin") into the uncompressed folder ("twrp_port" or "twrp_port_x86" in case of 32bit version) and run "twrp_port.bat"
You will get your ported TWRP ("yourTWRP.img") for your device in that folder and you can use it to root your phone (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223).
---------------------------------------
How to get your stock recovery image:
Fisrt you need the kdz firmware of your device:
1. method:
- reboot your phone into download mode (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k10/download-mode/)
- start LG Bridge, go to software update and chose update error recovery (right bottom corner).
- from here follow kappu's guide to get your .kdz file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-downloading-kdz-lg-bridge-t3504497
- you can let lg bridge finish the flashing process, no data will be lost.
2. method:
- download firmware for your device:
k10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/stock-versions-model-lg-k10-t3457319
k8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/lg-k8-k350nds-stock-kdz-firmware-t3456467
- now you have your kdz however you better do the next step if you are not sure thats the exact firmware your device has
- use lg up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/flashing-firmware-using-lg-t3517839) to flash that firmware on your device (just to make sure you are really using that particular firmware)
- all data will be lost
Now you have your kdz, lets extract the recovery image:
- download lg firmware extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
- upack it somewhere and put the kdz file into that folder
- run "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe"
- open your kdz file (first open button from above)
- tick the first entry under file name (the .dz file) and click on "Extract KDZ"
- you will get that .dz file extracted in your LGFirmwareExtract folder
- close LG Firmware extractor and open it again
- now open .dz file (second open button from above)
- find your stock recovery image under file name (usually it's "recovery_190464.bin"), tick that entry and click on "Extract DZ"
- your stock recovery image will be extracted in the LGFirmwareExtract folder.
Now you just copy this "recovery_190464.bin" (or whatever it's name is - just make sure it's a .bin file) into the "twrp_port" folder and run "twrp_port.bat"
Do not flash it on your device!
No TWRP's can be flashed for good on these LGs... yet...
Only use "fastboot boot yourTWRP.img"
If you succesfully ported and tested your TWRP, please upload and share it with us with the proper description of your model and firmware version!

Gott any method on how to flash it permanently and stop the system on overwriting the recovery. It seems that twrp is one of the important thing needed.

I`m afraid no. There is no way to flash it. Why is this important anyways?

For convenience I guess?? It's hard to make changes with K10 without recovery and PC :c
Anyway any new project with MTK?

Well... i think usually you have a PC nearby when you test something new on your phone...
However with the new security patch it's actually impossible to root or flash anything modded but using the new 3.1.0 twrp you can delete the stock apps which is the most imprortant aim of rooting our device (i guess). So no more new project on my side...

One more thing does the K10 only have fastboot mode and no recovery mode even a stock recovery?

Hi Guys,
We hope someone to release TWRP. Moreover, anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader?!
By the way, anyone knows where to find a custom ROMs for this nice phone.
Thanks.
Hi, When I flash my ROM I have "STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN".
My phone only have a black screen ...
I think I have flash a wrong preloader...
But I have the "serial" port.
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 !).
I don't know if he come with Silicone Case or not.
But I will try again to root it !
Already any news or ideas how to safely root and install TWRP on the OUKITEL K10000 Pro? Would be great! Thanks in advance!
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 ?
I have finaly find to root it myself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-oukitel-k10000-pro-t3626105
I can upload my very bad test TWRP recovery (image is inverted lol, and it's in russian by default !)
But it's too heavy for XDA. If I have time I publish it on my website.
ROOT?
I want to root my device. Can anyone approve the friend FukTheRegister method?
Ask for help and guidance.
Anyone working on a custom rom or something like that?
Hi everybody, I guess there is no (easy) way to get a working TWRP so far, and also no root? Would be great if both would be possible Thanks in advance!

Both seems to be possible. Haven't tested the needrom method yet and i wonder if it's worth it.

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!

Phone stuck in "device is booting now" screen after oreo update

Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...
Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 for Cubot Cheetah + TWRP

Hello everyone, I was able to successfully port a RR Rom for this device.
Installation:
- Get SP Flash Tools (I used version 5.1512.0, like before)
- Download the RR ROM - https://mega.nz/#!swcRzAgB!fI4CbeHIfx_CdyPrmMNcGN4uQFy4YhaJohufU_DGxGI
- Download TWRP (scatter file included) - https://mega.nz/#!1xUjRIiA!0aFkvFOe0QP_f5SlMcBAPo0nCWNJbW0iagW0OlDaLlU
- Open the "RR 5.8.5 - 7.1.2" zip file, and put "boot.img" and "magisk_patched.img" into your phone's INTERNAL storage so you can find them later
- Flash the recovery through SP Flash Tools to "BOOT" partition! (If you flash it to "recovery" partition, the screen may not work)
- Reboot, it should boot into TWRP
- Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache
- Flash the ROM (you don't need to flash Gapps, they are pre-installed)
- After it's done, go back and click "Install", then "Install image".
- Flash either "boot.img" if you want no root access, or "magisk_patched" if you want the root access.
- Reboot.
- Wait for it to boot
Bugs
- No fingerprint is available to set-up
- Let me know if you find any?

This is my 2nd attempt at porting, ever, sorry for not being straight-forward and making this overly complicated.
If this works well for people I might try MIUI next.
And let me know if your device reads/works properly with SD card inserted! I think it may be just my device that doesn't recognize any, but would be nice to get some confirmation.
All credits go to Cleopatra Bianchi for providing TWRP.

Thank you @kazkas1398, I'll try it... I'll be back!
I understand all of these, I know to work with adb, fastboot commands but I cannot unlock bootloader on my device, Cubot Note 20 Pro. I was searching about 3 days for this, I found what I knew but it seems that no command works in fastboot:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot oem unlock_critical
I must mention... Developer options, OEM-unlocking and USB-debugging checked, all MTK and ADB drivers installed, I'm not a begginer... but, of course, I don't know everything. So, I need a little help!
Nothing works, no command... it says "... command not supported in default implementation". I need unlock the bootloader first of all for rooting my device and other reasons.
I'm really frustrated, blocked in this situation! Can anybody help my to unlock bootloader, please? Thank you.
Ok friends, I managed to unlock bootloader, get root... and I tried to port the stock recovery with Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter.
Then, I flashed vbmeta and recovery images in fastboot mode...
After that, my Cubot Note 20 Pro is booting only in fastboot mode... until I flashed the stock recovery again.
Does anyone have any working solutions, suggestions other than waiting for an official TWRP? Thank you.
Edit:
I found this, I followed all the steps... but it stucked in TWRP logo... waited about 20 minutes... nothing... any solution please?! Thank you.

You need to utilize the Hovatek forum.Its a Mediatek phone and they specialize in those phones.I know many of the standard processes we are accustomed to don't work.I have the same phone and with limited searching I was only able to find TWRP 3.4.0 but it freezes while in recovery.Im sure theres something out there more compatible
