If you wish to root your Mediatek Android phone, we'd dropped a guide on rooting using Magisk and stock boot.img at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html , no custom recovery is required.

Sequel to our Mediatek auto Philz recovery porter and Spreadtrum auto TWRP recovery porter, we've created this tool to make it very easy to port TWRP recovery for your Mediatek Android device.

Important Notice

If you have a device running android 9 or 10, you must disable dm_verity by flashing an empty vbmeta before flashing TWRP. See the update section @ https://www.hovatek.com/blog/dm_verity-i...-bootloop/
If while you're porting TWRP and you encounter the error message "DM_Verity found! You'll need to patch boot.img", then before flashing TWRP, ensure to see https://www.hovatek.com/blog/dm_verity-i...-bootloop/
If TWRP requests for password to decrypt data, try the fixes listed @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-30160.html
If the ported TWRP doesn't work (ie the phone simply boots back to homescreen) , then ensure you're using stock recovery from your current rom build also try both versions of the TWRP porting tool; one might work for you where the other one fails
If you have an android 8.x phone and the ported TWRP from your android version doesn't seem to boot on your phone, then try recovery.img from other android 8.x versions. e.g you have an android 8.1, try both 8.0 and 8.1G if 8.1 fails
If the ported TWRP has disabled touch or touch doesn't work then see the alternatives you could consider @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-24209.html
If TWRP has ADB and MTP disabled, then see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32715.html
If TWRP has touch inverted at 180 degrees, then see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-38100.html

Requirements
