For those looking to root their Android devices, we'd dropped a guide on how to root using Magisk and stock boot.img at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html . That method only requires your stock boot.img to root, no custom recovery or one-click-root apks.

Sequel to the Mediatek auto Philz recovery porter, we're releasing this version for Spreadtrum Android users to easily port TWRP recovery as well.

Important Notice

If the ported TWRP has disabled touch or touch doesn't work then see this fix OR alternatives you could consider
If TWRP requests for password to decrypt data, try the fixes listed @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-30160.html
If TWRP has ADB and MTP disabled, then see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32715.html
If the ported TWRP doesn't work, then ensure you're using stock recovery from your current rom build and also try both versions of the TWRP porting tool; one might work for you where the other one fails
If you have an SPD android 7.x phone and the ported TWRP doesn't work on your phone, then try porting recovery.img from both android 6 and 5 versions.

Requirements

Stock recovery.img (You can download the firmware then extract the contents of the pac file, use rashr.apk or flashify.apk if rooted or dump the phone's ROM using a box/dongle etc )
