Unlock bootloader via htcdev, download TWRP2630-KKOneMine and put it in the fastboot folder where you use it to unlock bootloade and flash it with the command fastboot flash recovery TWRP2630-KKOneMine.img. and you should be able to root.

Yes, it does. So make sure you back up the stuff before you unlock bootloader. You can find the download the one mini q&a, help & troubleshooting. It is the thread with something about sd card. Inside the thread, you will find it.

Not able to boot into recovery mode

My "Coolpad Note 3" is not booting into recovery mode after Flashing Cool ui 8 V22 Rom & TWRP Recovery. However Normally its booting absolutely fine and its quite stable Rom. But I seriously need to flash TWRP in order to install SuperSU and Xposed Installer. Anyone Please suggest any solution Asap.
(Also My Titanium Backup(Apps+Data) could only be restored after granting root access).

Did you flash the correct recovery for your model number?
Have you tried flashing the recovery again?

Yes I Have flashed the correct recovery with SP FLASH TOOL (Mtk 6753 Scatter file). It shows that it will boot into recovery mode but again screen blanks and same process repeats.

Did you try booting to recovery using adb?

Do you know of your bootloader was unlocked before you flashed the recovery?
If it was locked then that is why it won't boot to recovery.

Yes, it's the same for all android.
adb reboot recovery
This still doesn't work if your bootloader was locked when you flashed your recovery.
If the bootloader was locked, you'll have to flash a copy of your stock recovery.
Then unlock the bootloader, then flash the recovery. It will probably work correctly then.

As I Know, Coolpad Note 3 comes with pre-unlocked bootloader. And Earlier I had TWRP installed in it with the same method. I dont think so The Bootloader was Locked as I Have flashed Cool Ui 8.....nd that was done quite easily.

Ok, if you had TWRP on it before then it isn't locked.
Did you at any point create a nandroid backup while that version of TWRP was installed? Have you tried flashing that same version of TWRP?

Yes, those are nandroid backups.
Can you flash the recovery that you used to create those backups? Or is that the same recovery that you're trying to flash now but can't get it to boot?

I dont remember the exact version of Twrp as its not officially available for my device. But ya..I had tried to flash 2-3 recovery.img 's (including the one which I flashed earlier). But no one worked...it just repeats the same process.

The device may have came with bootloader unlocked when you got it, but you flashed a stock update Cool UI 8, if that stock update came with a locked bootloader as part of the update package then your bootloader is locked now, and that would still explain why you can't flash or boot to TWRP.
Verify whether the Cool UI 8 v22 firmware itself came with an updated and locked bootloader. It has nothing to do with whether your device came with unlocked bootloader.

Ya I Have checked...Coolpad has locked bootloader for this firmvare version. What should I do now....Should I flash the earlier version of cool ui 8 or Is there any method to unlock ot manually?
(Ps: Not able to find Adb & Fastboot drivers for this device)

I'm not sure about the bootloader, I didn't find anything about unlocking bootloader for Cool UI 8 v22. Does it have a "OEM unlock" setting in system settings? If so, enable it and then see if you can flash/boot TWRP. Try fastboot with the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
But I did find something about how to root your device, if the information is correct. You might be able to root what you have then use FireFlash or Flashify to flash the Xposed Framework and get it working. You probably won't have unlocked bootloader or TWRP though.
But, you also might be able to downgrade to your previous firmware but I'm not sure if that will unlock your bootloader or not. The locked bootloader might not allow you to downgrade your firmware.

Bootloader Unlock For SOV37 Possible

Just in case anyone wondering. I have XZ2 AU (SOV37) with Bootloader unlock allowed : No
So I use qUnlocktool, paid some money for it (nugsm), and unlock the simlock (even though it's already unlocked to begin with)
And after that Bootloader unlock allowed : become Yes.
Then I flashed Android 10 global ROM, unlocked Bootloader, phone unable to receive signal.
From there all I have to do is just to restore the backup from qUnlocktool, as result I have unlocked Bootloader and unlocked SIM.
Hope this can help some people.
Though by flashing to Global / Custom ROM you will lose NFC. recommended to use debloater (magisk) to remove NFC related services to prevent battery drain.

You can install the OTA update from here. Just follow the instructions Google provided at the top of the page and you should be all updated. It's only the full images that require the bootloader to be unlocked.

Just go look up factory images for Pixel phones. You can install firmware right from the web browser. You don't need to have root. Root is optional.

Do you mean without an unlocked bootloader? Root is not the same thing and does not determine how you can flash firmware.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use the Android Flash Tool. If your bootloader is not unlocked, downgrading is impossible.

This only works if OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options.

@Albi Lukaj, Please be aware that unlocking your bootloader WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND RETURN IT TO STOCK!!!
If that is not preferable, you might try applying the OTA like stated in Post #2, but I am not sure if it works downgrading a version (it probably doesn't)...
