[Please help] PHANTOM 6 PLUS NOUGAT ROOT METHOD
(11-08-2017, 04:17 PM)Bantu Bruh The phone reboots after nothing... I decided to use Bryanthuku's method and after you install Magisk Manager you will have root

(11-08-2017, 05:21 PM)Bryanthuku Highly unlikely
i updated system to android 7
rooted
backed up recovery.img and then sent it
or maybe other owners who have rooted to send their backed up of recovery.img

stuck at read only or allow system modifications
Try this Philz @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...hqa2c/view

Relax
I'm testing my try
It's not ideal with twrp or anything
But I have got root
Which custom recovery did you use cos we're trying to port one but haven't yet received the Nougat stock recovery.img
Well, Its kind of a Process.
I downgraded back to Android 6.0 A9-...............V108(Stock-Rom) - {Through Fastboot Because my phone cant be discovered in sp flash tool (unrelated error)}
installed ota updates upto Android 6.0 A9-...............V124 - (Last update before Nougat)
Opened (Nougat) Update.zip in PC , extracted and edited its updater-script and compressed it back into the zip file.
Then copied it to exSD-card
Boot into Twrp for android 6.0 Through bootloader
Backed up Boot.img "....V124"
flashed update.zip{with edited updater_script}
(This Patches boot.img.p for nougat into current boot.img for "....V124")
Made a backup immediately after patch to get - Android 7.0 Stock Boot.img
Then installed Magisk v13.3 zip file.
Made a backup after magisk installed to get - Modified/rooted Android 7.0 boot.img
Then Restored Boot.img "......V124"
All in bold was done without rebooting
Since there were definitely going to be errors because of patching android 7 boot.img into an android 6 rom...
Reboot back to bootloader and fastboot the "....V108" -Stock rom
I then updated stock rom up to android 7.0 {Official way}
After Nougat boots successfully I turned it off.
got into bootloader and flashed the modified nougat boot.emmc.win (Twrp backup)- changed it to (.img) first
Hence rooted.
To revert back to stock boot.img get into bootloader and flash the stock nougat boot.Img (twrp backup)
Image of magisk installed, root Success and
Android 7 Stock Recovery.img also in attachments.
All Through android 6 updates i only factory reset through twrp for android 6 after downgrading so as to keep my data (internal storage safe)
users already running nougat can simply reboot into bootloader (if unlocked) and typefastboot flash boot bootN1Mod.img-to rootorfastboot flash boot bootN1Stock.img- to unroot(using adb and fastboot devices )
It worked on my phone but it is to be tried at the Owner's Own Risk.
(11-08-2017, 07:12 PM)hovatekAny time I try to unlock my bootlader it says invalid imei after reboot I have tried everything I could, flashed it back to marshmallow changed the imei successfully and updated back to N7, when I tried to unlock bootlaoder again it brings invalid imei and mtk tool won't work on it, please what can I do.(11-08-2017, 05:21 PM)Bryanthuku Highly unlikely
