[Development] How to root Tecno W4
[Development] How to root Tecno W4
(27-12-2016, 05:59 PM)wabtechnerd In using the SP Flash Tool for rooting, are these instructions assuming that we are also flashing the stock ROM?
I'm using a W4 I just bought and the ROM version is newer than anything I've seen online. Basically when I try to flash TWRP using the SP Flash Tool I get the error "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded." Searching that on Google shows me the solution is to format, but since I am only flashing a recovery.img I'm not sure if formatting will format the entire phone (thats what the instructions seem to indicate here: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html as they say in step 6 not to format unless you have the stock ROM for your exact model).
I would like to just flash the TWRP recovery to run the SU.zip but haven't sucessfully been able to flash. Any help on how to proceed would be most appreciated.
My build number is W4-AW875A1-M-161010V10
KERNAL VERSION 3.18.19+
Thanks.
(27-12-2016, 08:00 PM)wabtechnerd I also just tried using the AIO Flasher tool using the following steps mentioned here: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-466.html
All the drivers and it recognized the phone and everything but when it went to flash it failed with the following error:
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed)
So I still cannot get TWRP on my W4. Any other suggestions?
PS I also didnt reboot right away and now the phone is stuck with text "USB Transmission OK Time 340ms Vel 32490Kb/s"
Since I cant take the battery out any other suggestions on how to reboot this thing...adb devices is no longer listing it as a device and unplugging it and plugging it back in does nothing...time to put it "safely" in the fridge

Dump your firmware in scatter format using Miracle Box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
upload stock recovery.bin and scatter file then provide the download link(s)
