[Solved] Elephone P8 Max Root

Hello, this is my first post
Don't let me waste time...
Requirements
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 OR backup from your device using a box e.g Miracle box, CM2, etc
2.Download Latest Magisk Manager
Steps on how to root an Elephone P8 Max using Magisk Manager and patched boot.img
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img
1.Install MagiskManager apk on your android device
2.Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
3.Launch Magisk Manager app
4.If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
5.If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
6.Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
7.Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
8.Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
9.Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on you
1.Sp Flashtool
2.Fastboot
3.Miracle Box
1. For Sp Flashtool copy the patched boot.img with mt6755 scatter file and make sure to rename patched boot.img to boot.img before flashing
2.For fastboot copy the patched boot.img to your fastboot folder and press shift right click on a free space in the fastboot folder, you would see open command here. Click on it and boot your Elephone P8 Max to fastboot with power+volume up and use volume down to select fastboot and connect your Elephone P8 Max. Your PC type fastboot devices to check if the system as seen it. Now type fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
You are done.
3.For miracle box rename the file from .img to .bin before flash.
In case you lazy..:laugh:
I have the patched_boot.img here

Hi I tried fastboot.
fastboot oem unlock OK
fastboot flash recovery patched_boot.img
works, but after switch off an boot into recovery, just normal android 7 starts, no twrp.
When boot finished, touching on display does not work anymore.
Any hinds?

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

Looking for a walkthrough on installing a custom ROM on a BLU G90 PRO

I need WIFI calling enabled and non of the unlocked phones they sell at Best Buy or Amazon come with the feature activated. It is literally not listed in the settings I am looking at installing a custom ROM with WIFI calling activated like it is on my old Samsung A50. I honestly don't know the first thing about the root program that android runs on so I am looking for someone that has patience that can help a noob.
I have watched many youtube videos on this topic but I have found nothing on my specific phone.
Thanks in advance

About ROOT: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...attery-charge-limit-root-application.4251443/
About GSI: You not need TWRP. But if you want backup your userdata so need install that.
All depend about your decision: I'm install GSI and test. I chose the perfect GSI for me; so I don't need the backup => you not need custom recovery so use stock recovery.
I want GSI and need backup => need TWRP.
In the true both recoveries [stock & TWRP] has the fastbootd implemented!
So you need:
1- unlock bootloader;
2- stock or specific vbmeta file;
3- know how use fastboot commands for flash GSI;
4- Every time is more security flashing Custom ROMs if you have stock ROM!
Are you ready for flash GSI??!
Even if something goes wrong and you can't "revive" the device again?
Do you have everything it takes to feel relaxed if something goes wrong or successful?!!
I can put the instructions myself. But I will never be responsible for your actions and choices.​So make up your mind!

About updated ROM version: You can remove/copy all partitions from last version any time. So boot.img or recovery.img can have with SPFT Read Back process with scatter file from v10.0.03.03 stock ROM.

ROOT: Simple. Use custom recovery and flashing magisk-zip

Unfortunately in the compiling TWRP time I haven't MicroSD to testing.
But now I know about and need fix so easy. The fix is not easy because my time and the issues about different adress/partition of MicroSD in G90 Pro. So I needed more knowledge and informations to fix that and need only write correct adress/partition. That's is to mount/start MicroSD automatically in the TWRP. But....
I not remember now because I not using MicroSD or OTG in the TWRP or ROMs. But maybe worked with the option in the TWRP - Wipe - FORMAT DATA; Reboot - Recovery. Test!
I have PBRP (other awesome Custom Recovery) if you want test too.

It's a shame you didn't try to remove the boot.img file from version 10.0.04.03 because it would be interesting to know the kernel changes. But as far as I know it was a security update and the fix for call volume I think.
I not using Xposed a very time ago. Sorry. You need search/ask in the Xposed forun.

Sent in PM to you.

I decided to write the commands for those who have TWRP or stock recovery. Both will work as it has the fastbootD option.
First, select the GSI for your architecture. On BLU G90 Pro, it is arm64 ab. Usually we must unzip to have the img file.
Copy the GSI.img file and the modified vbmeta.img file in the ADB folder - tools platform with which you unlocked the bootloader. Remember the need for the most current version of ADB!
platform-tools#downloads
For some users it is necessary to write warnings:
Stop now if you do not know what you are doing or have no experience in reviving your device!!!
You must have backup of your NVDATA, NVRAM, NVCFG, PERSIST, files made from your device.
The device must have the bootloader unlocked!
You need know the difference about fastboot and FASTBOOTD in your device!!
Your device has bootloader mode: recovery - fastboot - reboot (system)
Stock recovery has very options:
reboot system - reboot to bootloader - wipe - Enter fastboot - ...
reboot to bootloader => normal fastboot
Enter fastboot => FASTBOOTD
FASTBOOTD => some options
TWRP:
Reboot - Reboot bootloader => normal fastboot
Reboot - Reboot fastboot => fastbootD
Spoiler: Install GSI - BLU G90 Pro - G0370WW
Device in fastboot => You see the Serial number by your device
Code:
fastboot devices
The file vbmeta can use stock vbmeta; BUT you should flash vbmeta mod [vbmetaAndroidSC_mod.zip] for have TWRP and GSI.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_mod.img
Wipe userdata
Code:
fastboot -w
Your device MUST be at the fastbootD menu now. If not, you will not be able to flash the GSI successfully. Again, you can using TWRP or stock recovery.
fastboot normal to fastbootD
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Erase a flash partition
Code:
fastboot erase system
or
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system
deletes the product partition, allowing a larger system partition
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
I not need resize-logical-partition product. But if you want:
You will need a larger system partition to flash a GSI. There are 2 ways to achieve this
A. fastboot resize-logical-partition product 509344768
B. fastboot resize-logical-partition system 3089272064 or 3889272064
resizes product and system partitions. This gives you about 3GB of system partitions. You can adjust or arrive at your own numbers if you want different sizes.
Flashing GSI files: Sets disable-verity when flashing & Sets disable-verification when flashing the file img in the system partition.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img
GSI.img is the file of any zip file that have any name by developers/Custom ROM.
For confirm great & fast start GSI
Code:
fastboot -w
For confirm and boot clean go to normal fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Reboot to system
Code:
fastboot reboot
Wait the time 5~15 minutes to start.
Enjoy
Note: Since the Team Win code maintainers; still haven't found a way for TWRP to modify (write/copy/delete) any file in the logical partitions (System - Vendor - Product - odm) as Super partition; TWRP cannot install the img file on the system partition.
If you want to make changes you can try this: [SCRIPT][Android 10+] Universal Mount System read write R/W
In the GSI files you can modify files in the Super partition.

Code:
fastboot -w
Your device MUST be at the fastbootD menu now. If not, you will not be able to flash the GSI successfully. Again, you can using TWRP or stock recovery.
fastboot normal to fastbootD
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Erase a flash partition
Code:
fastboot erase system
or
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system
deletes the product partition, allowing a larger system partition
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
I not need resize-logical-partition product. But if you want:
You will need a larger system partition to flash a GSI. There are 2 ways to achieve this
A. fastboot resize-logical-partition product 509344768
B. fastboot resize-logical-partition system 3089272064 or 3889272064
resizes product and system partitions. This gives you about 3GB of system partitions. You can adjust or arrive at your own numbers if you want different sizes.
Flashing GSI files: Sets disable-verity when flashing & Sets disable-verification when flashing the file img in the system partition.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img
GSI.img is the file of any zip file that have any name by developers/Custom ROM.
For confirm great & fast start GSI
Code:
fastboot -w
For confirm and boot clean go to normal fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Reboot to system
Code:
fastboot reboot
Wait the time 5~15 minutes to start.
Enjoy
Note: Since the Team Win code maintainers; still haven't found a way for TWRP to modify (write/copy/delete) any file in the logical partitions (System - Vendor - Product - odm) as Super partition; TWRP cannot install the img file on the system partition.
If you want to make changes you can try this: [SCRIPT][Android 10+] Universal Mount System read write R/W
In the GSI files you can modify files in the Super partition.

File download from my github: TWRP3.5.0_10 BLU G90 PRO
About updated ROM version: You can remove/copy all partitions from last version any time. So boot.img or recovery.img can have with SPFT Read Back process with scatter file from v10.0.03.03 stock ROM.
Stock ROM G90 Pro BLU_G0370WW_V10.0.03.03
ROOT: Simple. Use custom recovery and flashing magisk-zip

Whenever I go into fastboot mode (with the text on the bottom left) no fastboot commands will work on my G90 Pro. Therefore I can't follow the rest of the instructions. Any possible solutions? Thanks.

First flash the original boot image into your phone and make sure your phone can boot after you flash the original boot image.
fastboot flash Magisk-patched-boot.img
Patched boot image can be made on another phone.

This is what i did
The original boot run finely but the patched one give me a boot loop

Miui 13 doesn't support yet unless you patch the boot img. Just revert to 12.5.9

The safe way is to not flash boot image with TWRP or Orangefox custom recoveries. Flash with fastboot mode with PC is better to prevent issue.
What version of Magisk?
If you are using the latest Magisk v24.X but it bootloop, you may report issue to Magisk author in his github.
If you used Magisk v23, it is said not working on Android 12, so will not work on MIUI 13.

1. Download stock MIUI rom.
2. Extract two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. Compress the two files to a TAR file, like: boot_and_vbmeta.tar
4. Copy the TAR file to the device.
5. Open magisk app.
6. Choose "Install magisk to file" and select the TAR file. It will create the file magisk_patched.tar
7. Copy the magisk_patched.tar file to the PC.
8. Extract magisk_patched.tar to get boot_patched.img and vbmeta_patched.img
9. Enter in fastboot in device.
10. Flash boot_patched.img and vbmeta_patched.img to the device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_patched.img

Installing Custom Recoveries
A. Preparation.
1. Download firmware for your device
2. Extract ap file using Zarchiver and extract recovery.img from recovery.img.lz4 and compress it to recovery.tar
3. Patch the ap file with a magisk which will patch both boot.img and vbmeta.img (from magisk, choose install then select file to patch)
Exynos 850 Resources
t.me
Alternatively you can extract boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 from the ap file and compress them into a new tar file and then patch that file.
note: if you don't want root then just extract the vbmeta.img and use zarchiver to add it to my twrp.tar file.
You can flash this new file from odin at step 5
For Exynos 850 android 11 use a21s patched magisk.
For Exynos 850 android 12 and most other devices use delta magisk
4. Unlock OEM in developer options
5. Attach phone to pc and reboot to download mode
6. flash patched ap file.

C. Recovery Problems
Most recovery issues can be solved by attending to the following issues.
1. Did you root using the full ap file patched Magisk .
(This contains the patched boot.img and vbmeta.img)
Exynos 850 users must use the special a217 magisk?
2. Did you then go all the way through the setup process?
3. Did you download the recovery to match your baseband?
See https://t.me/a127f_res/54 for Exynos 850 recoveries
4. Did you hold down power and volume up after Odin says pass?
5. Did you format data from stock recovery?
If you forgot to do this, just install stock recovery.img from TWRP and reboot.
6. Did you type multidisabler twice?
If it doesn't work try this
Physwizz Collection
Decrypt. If multidisabler doesn't work try this method. 1. Copy /vendor/etc/fstab.**** over to another folder. 2. Edit it to remove the line containing the word "encryption" 3. Boot into twrp 4. Use twrp file manager to replace the fstab file with the edited one. 5. Format data (not just...
t.me
7. Did you reboot to recovery by choosing reboot from the menu and then choosing recovery?
8. To avoid touch issues go to settings and untick "allow time out"
9.For touch issues use a usb mouse
physwizz(Really Old Dev) in physwizz testing & discussion
If touch doesn't work on twrp, connect a usb mouse Everyone has an old mouse at home and the adapter costs less than a cup of coffee
t.me
D.To restore Stock Recovery
1. Attach phone to pc and reboot to download mode
2. flash patched ap file or stock recovery.tar
3. reboot
Or just flash stock recovery.img from twrp and reboot.
