Tecno Spark 7 Pro Rooting Guide

First of all I would like to thank the hovatek community, specially the admins who are always there ready to help along their vast amount of informative guides unlike most of the scammers out there. Without their help I likely never would have gotten my device rooted.

Device info

---

• Device name: Tecno Spark 7 Pro

The easy way

You can easily check your Build ID from CPU-Z app or using adb: adb getprop ro.build.display.id

If you have the same device and Build ID as me then you can safely flash boot_magisk_patched.img from fastboot mode.

I wouldn't recommend this if your Build ID is different.

If the requirements stated above are met then proceed.

Steps:

• Get ADB and FASTBOOT.
• Unlocked bootloader.
• Grab boot_magisk_patched.img from this repository.
• Reboot into fastboot mode from adb: adb reboot bootloader
• Wipe vbmeta
• Finally flash the image: fastboot flash boot boot_magisk_patched.img
• Enjoy!

The hard way

If The easy way isn't in your favor then you gotta move in the hard path... phew!

Below are the steps, I need to warn you that this isn't for noobs.

If you're one of them then step back.

Proceed with caution, I am not responsible for any sort of permanent damage made to your device.

Unlock bootloader

Warning: Unlocking the bootloader will cause your device userdata to be wiped up.

Unlock developer options in your phone and enable OEM Unlocking in developer options before proceeding.

Then you should just simply follow this guide until rebooting into fastboot mode.

Later in fastboot you run this command: fastboot flashing unlock

Bypass secure boot and dump the whole rom

• Make sure your phone charge is below 2%, yes I ain't joking. Your device could get stuck in the preloader mode on failed attempts and since this is a non-removable battery device we can't do anything other than just waiting for the battery to drain up totally for reviving it. Just remember not to panic if you mess up and wait patiently.

• Follow this guide until step 14.

• Follow this guide to dump your whole rom.

Important notes to remember:

• Before running WwR_MTK_x.y.z.exe, open Template.init inside WwR folder and add MT6768 under [CPU] section.
• Before attempting to readBack in SP_FLASH_TOOL, double-click on preloader item under Download tab and select preloader_kf8_h696.bin (Download from this repository)

Flash empty vbmeta.img to get rid of dm-verity

Follow Method 3 in this guide.

Patch boot.img from magisk and flash it

Follow this guide

And that's it!

I Hope this guide was able to save you some time and headache.
