If you wish to root your Mediatek Android phone, we'd dropped a guide on rooting using Magisk and stock boot.img at https://forum.hovatek.com/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://blog.hovatek.com/dm_verity-is-pr...-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://blog.hovatek.com/dm_verity-is-pr...-bootloop/
  • If TWRP requests for password to decrypt data, try the fixes listed @ https://forum.hovatek.com/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://forum.hovatek.com/thread-24209.html
  • If TWRP has ADB and MTP disabled, then see https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32715.html

Requirements

  • Stock recovery.img (extracted from the firmware or by dumping the phone's ROM using Miracle Box, SP Flash tool etc )
  • Download MTK Auto TWRP recovery porter by Team Hovatek from the link at the bottom of this post
  • Windows PC

It happened when I extracted zip file. All othter dirs are good except exe file, it just showed up a liittle while  and then disappeared.
My pc is win7. I have searched internet. There are lots of complaints about this when extracts exe file from zip or copying exe files .
Someone guessing issue from antivirus . But no answer yet.
I have tried this tool on other computer, it works great, though ported recovery is not working for my Gionnee M6.
Thanks for your effort.

It look like you have either anti virus or virus it self on your Pc that can not allow the file to be stored on your pc drive u need to run deep scan if its smadav try to disable anti Exe
