Hey all.
I've been killing myself for the past 3 days trying to root my phone.
Ideally I'd like to pull the stock ROM and remove a few system apps.
But it seems like every method I've looked into has a per-requesite I can't do.
It's not a very common phone, so there's little support for it. I am in contact with the manufacturers, but the don't want to give me the stock image, nor provide any real assistance with trying to unlock it (obviously), so it's a slow and ongoing battle.
Chip: mt6753 (64bit, 1.3 GHz OctaCore).
Internal Memory: 16Gb.
RAM: 2Gb.
Android 6.0 (about phone) 5.1(website).
I've tried too many "one click root" apps and programs to list.
The issues are:
- MTK droid tools dropped support before this SoC came out.
- There are no root methods that I've found.
- There's no stock ROM readily available.
- There is no "unlock oem bootloader" option in the settings.
- adb reboot-bootloader reboots it normally.
- load bootloader from recovery reboots it normally.
- because of the 2 statements above, I can't utilise fastboot commands.
- because of the 4 statements above, I can't run a custom recovery.
I can get into the "factory settings" by holding volume down and power, and I can get into the recovery with power and volume up.
If someone could nudge me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
I'm willing to donate. I don't know the price etiquette around here, but I'll throw $10AUD upfront towards Cleopatra or equiv status members (She/He seems to be super knowledgeable), and another $20AUD for fix. (Is that too little? Don't know :S)
Thanks in advance.
