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://forum.hovatek.com/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.

Note
- If the ported TWRP has disabled touch or touch doesn't work then see the alternatives you could consider @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-24209.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 )
- Download SPD Auto TWRP recovery porter by Team Hovatek from the link at the bottom of this post
- Windows PC
