The Tecno Camon CX Air (e.g CXAIR-H3713A-N-170618V105) is an MT6735 powered phone running on Android 7 (Nougat)

How can I root my Tecno Camon CX Air?



There are two main steps:
  • Unlocking the Bootloader of the Tecno Camon CX Air
  • Flashing the Hovatek Philz recovery.img and SuperSU.zip

Steps to root the Tecno Camon CX Air



  1. Download Philz for Tecno Camon CX Air ported by Team Hovatek @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...B5N3M/view
  2. Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
  3. Extract and copy the Philz recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
  4. Unlock the Bootloader of the Tecno Camon CX Air using the same technique at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-18936.html
  5. Download SuperSU 2.76.zip at https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_-waNKLv...t=download
  6. Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s SD card
  7. Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide; don't forget to re-enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging)
  8. When the phone enters Fastboot, load the Philz recovery to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter

Code:

fastboot boot recovery.img
  • The phone should automatically boot into Philz recovery mode (depending on which you flashed)
  • Do a full backup by tapping Backup (Recommended) then proceed with the guide once done
  • If Philz offers to root the phone, select NO
  • In Philz recovery, tap Install
  • Navigate to the location of the SuperSU.zip on External SD card and select it
  • If you're having trouble loading SuperSu from storage then flash SuperSu.zip via ADB Sideload (refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19467.html )
  • Reboot the phone normally
  • Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker

Does adb detect your phone when you run adb devices?

if you need a scatter file compatible with SPft, then you need download an SP flashable rom for your build OR dump the firmware of your device in scatter file format using Wwr_tool or a hardware box / dongle such as CM2

OK.. If I'm reading thus correctly, I should get a SP flash able rom n then extract the scatter file from it and then put in the same folder with the recovery
and then using it to install a custom recovery for my phone. You should know my phone is not rooted, it's because I want to root it that's why I'm installing a recovery.

check the first post in this thread, SPft is not needed OR better still you can root using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html

Can you just port a recovery for my TECNO Cx build number ( CXAir-H3713A-N-17207V139)? So I can use SPFL. I understand that tool better.
