someone succeeded in rooting s88 plus?

I managed to install twrp, unblock system file, but sd card does not work ,because these are the "super" files of the s88 pro



I manage to start the phone, with twrp but bluetooth problem and the parameters crashes because it minds that I have a s88 pro ^^


that's all I managed to do

do you have the stock firmware for this model? if yes, then flash back stock firmware to get your device back to been functional
unlock bootloader @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html
flash empty vbmeta @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html
patch boot using magisk @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html

this firmware works for me on my Doogee S88 Plus: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...kZBMsYJE3x

unfortunately, whenever i try to patch the boot.img there with Magisk, the phone will get stuck in a reboot-loop until i flash back the original boot.img, so i haven't been able to root it, but this should at least get your S88 Plus back to factory-setup
(ps i made a thread over at xda-developers about trying to root it, no luck yet though: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dooge...t.4288321/ )

update: finally managed to root it, the final piece of the puzzle was that S88 Plus wanted the magisk-patched boot.img signed with the publicly-available-private-key from https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-35862-page-3.html Big Grin

the magisk-patched + signed boot.img is available from here if you're interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/solve...t.4288321/

(i would have uploaded it here as well if this forum allowed forum file uploads, but seems it doesn't. either that, or i don't have enough reputation to upload files, perhaps?)

thanks for sharing these, also file upload is based on file type and size and not user reputation

ohh didn't see it because i used the "quick reply" form,

anyway, i tried uploading here, got

> The file "magisk_patched-23000_TY62U.img" is too large. The maximum size for that type of file is 4096 kilobytes.

the file is 33,554,432 bytes uncompressed, with "zpaq -m5" compression (the best compression utility i know of) it becomes 10,503,642 bytes, oh well ^^ (for comparison, "xz -9 --extreme" is 10,588,268 bytes, 7-zip lzma-ultra is 10,636,915 bytes, winzip is 10,680,161 bytes ~)

You can upload the file to any cloud storage e.g Google drive, mega, etc then share on any platform

Have you tried to install a custom ROM on it?
