In today’s post I will showing you a universal rooting guide for devices running Mediatek processors. It is clear that not all smartphones, including those
equipped with an MTK CPU, are rooted the same way. But they do follow a common line of action when carrying out the root process.

Today we are going to try to clarify what that process is, explaining each one of the steps to carry out the rooting and getting the always desired administrator
permissions in Android. To make everything more real and a little more interesting, I’m going to pick up a Mediatek processor phone and I’ll try to root it as I
write this post.

At the time of writing these lines, I have an Oukitel Mix 2 without rooting. Will I get away with mine?

The first and most simple step when diving into this odyssey is to try to root the device with a universal rooting app. These are applications, both for Android and
PC, capable of carrying out the rooting process automatically.

The best universal rooting apps are those of PC. However, even if they are called “universal” they do not work with all devices. In spite of that, they are usually
quite effective.

Some of the most popular applications are KingRoot, KingoRoot, Vroot, ToweRoot and Framaroot.

Trying to root with the Kingroot app …

The Oukitel Mix 2 – and I suppose the rest of MTK Helio P25 CPU devices – is not compatible with any of these universal rooting applications. Therefore, you
must move on to the next step.

If the generic rooteo does not work – as it is the case-, we will check out more traditional methods. The best way to root an Android is installing a
recovery.

If we replace the recovery that comes standard with the phone by a custom recovery, such as TWRP or ClockworkMod Recovery, we can install an app to give us
root rights. All this from the recovery, without getting to Android.

The personalized recovery of Team Win

Recovery Project (TWRP)

It is important to make clear that it is not worth to install any custom recovery: it must be one that is expressly compatible with our brand and device model

In the case of Mix 2, I found a version of TWRP specially prepared for this phone on the Needrom website.

To install our custom recovery we need a computer. For the computer to recognize the device, it is necessary to install the phone drivers. For example, phones
with Mediatek MT6750 processors require the installation of the MT67xx USB VCOM drivers.

You can directly download the MT65xx / MT67xx USB VCOM drivers in RAR format from the following direct links:

We will also have to install the ADB drivers for Windows so that we can communicate with the terminal. You can download them HERE.

At this point it is important that we consider 2 things:

Normally rooteo entails loss of data. Make a backup of all the photos, contacts, videos and important documents.
Keep in mind that when rooting a device the warranty is voided. A badly executed rooteo can end up with your phone turned into a nice brick. Acts assuming
the possible consequences.

If you already have everything clear, let’s make sure you have the phone fully charged and the “USB debugging ” enabled in the Android settings.

SP Flash Tool is the tool used to flash any device in the Mediatek home. Now what you will do is “flash” or install the custom recovery that you have
downloaded in point #2.

So that you can launch the flash it is necessary that you have the scatter file of the phone. This file is usually found together with custom custom recovery, or
within the device’s ROM stock.

The flash of a custom recovery with SP Flash Tool is done in the following way:

In Scatter Loading File click on ” Choose ” and select the Scatter file of our Android device.
Rename the name of the custom recovery to ” img “. Load it from the “recovery / Location” line. Leave the rest of the tabs unchecked.
Click on ” Download “.
With the phone off, connect it via USB to the PC. The application will recognize the device and apply the flash.

The other alternative to install the custom recovery is to flash it using fastboot commands. In this case, the main commands to install the recovery are 2: “
oem unlock” and “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img“.

With the first command, you unblock the bootloader (be careful, all the data is deleted at the factory), and with the second one you install the recovery.

In our Mediatek mobile we have applied the following commands:

First step: unlock the bootloader

Now we launch the flash and boot in recovery mode

The fastboot commands follow the following structure:

fastboot [<option>] <command>

update <filename> flashea device from update.zip

flashall flashea boot + recovery + system

flash <partition> [<filename>] write a file in a flash partition

erase <partition> delete a flash partition

format <partition> format a flash partition

getvar <variable> shows a bootloader variable

boot <kernel> [<ramdisk>] download and start the kernel

flash: raw boot <kernel> [<ramdisk>] create a boot image and the flash

devices list of connected devices

continue continue with the auto-start

reboot reboot the device normally

reboot-bootloader restart device in bootloader

In addition to these we also have other commands, such as:

fastboot oem unlock (to unlock the bootloader)

fastboot oem lock (to block the bootloader)

All this road has been traveled to reach this point. Now that we have a custom recovery like TWRP or similar installed you just need to install a rooting app

Simply copy a file in ZIP format with SuperSU or Magisk in the SD, and install it from the recovery.

In the case of my Oukitel Mix 2, the recommended rooting app is Magisk. Therefore, once I managed to install TWRP using fastboot, I only had to copy the
Magisk installation file in the SD of the phone, restart the device from the recovery and install it. Got it!

Finally, you will make sure that you already have the root permissions active and running. For this, nothing better than installing an app like Root Checker
will help you check the status of root privileges in your beloved Mediatek CPU device.

DOWNLOAD: Root Checker

Developer: Free Android Tools

Price: Free

Although I have tried to specify a lot, in the end every phone is a world, of that there is no doubt. Whenever you are going to root some of your devices with CPU
Mediatek it is advisable to look for an installation tutorial expressly prepared for your exact make and model. However, after reading this little guide I am sure that
you will understand much better how to carry out this process.

I hope this article has been helpful, and as always, for anything, we read in the comments area.
