The Tecno W5 is an MT6737M powered Android phone running on Android 6 (Marshmallow)
How do I root a Tecno W5 Android phone?
Download TWRP for Tecno W5 ported by Team Hovatek at
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...5HZGM/view
Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at
https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
Extract and copy the TWRP recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Unlock the Bootloader of the Tecno W5 using the guide at
https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16599.html
Download SuperSU 2.76.zip at
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_-waNKLv...t=download
Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s SD card and internal storage
Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide)
When the phone enters Fastboot, flash the TWRP recovery image to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once recovery is flashed in fastboot, hold the Volume up + Power button and don’t release till the phone reboots into recovery
In TWRP, if you get a prompt asking you to swipe to allow modification of the System partition, tap KEEP READ ONLY
If TWRP offers to root the phone, select NO
In TWRP recovery, tap Install
Navigate to the location of the SuperSU2.76.zip and select it
Swipe to confirm flashing of SuperSU.zip and wait till flashing is complete
Reboot the phone normally
Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker @
