So I'm in the process of trying to Root my ZTE Smarttab 10 on firmware v03b.
Ive been following instructions on the following pages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629630
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555
The instructions are spread out across those threads and my problem starts kind of early in the process.
My goal is to use ADB to boot in to the Bootloader and then use a recovery rom to use TWRP to install a rom.
What i have done:
I have installed the ZTE Drivers
I have installed the SDK tools and updated it.
Now when the tablet is running normally I can see it in ADB and is able to run the command.
ADB Reboot Bootloader
This reboots the devices to a black screen (I assume this is the bootloader) and windows recognizes that a device is there.
The problem is that when I try to see this from ADB i cannot see the device when running ADB Devices.
This makes the next step impossible as I need to use ADB to boot a recovery rom.
So I would have posted in the development treads listed above but as I dont have 10 posts (this being my first post) I cannot post in the threads above.
I'm confident that this is a driver problem and I have uninstalled and re-installed all the drivers related to this including SDK.
But no luck yet.
Where other people say they have succeeded is when in the device manager they have ADB interface and ZTE Handset ADB interface listed.
This is the state where I'm at but I still cannot see the device in ADB.
Anyone have any insight on this kind of problem and can offer any help for a solution or direction to get to the solution.
Thank you for your help and attention!

You can't use adb in bootloader mode, you want fastboot. So when you do 'adb reboot bootloader'. It reboots to the black screen (that is the bootloader). Try typing 'fastboot devices' and see if you're device comes up. It should if you have all drivers installed correctly and fastboot on your system. Then you'll be able to do 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to install the custom recovery, then a 'fastboot reboot' and lastly an 'adb reboot recovery' will get you into your custom recovery to flash a new rom. Don't forget to make a backup.

Thank you for the help ! it cleared things up for me.
Now the trouble's continue.
With the firmware im on (v03b) you cannot use the fastboot flash method but only fastboot.
And they way it is supposed to be done is that you run
fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery being a twrp recovery for my device)
When its booted to TWRP i should be able to see it in ADB to be able to run the following commands to it:
--> adb remount
--> adb shell
--> ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
However I cannot get it to show in ADB (or fastboot) when its booted in to TWRP.
Any ideas?
I managed to solve the last bit to.
Now it was actually a driver problem, so i just updated the driver in device manager and located the ADB driver from ZTE and it worked to boot in to TWRP and then to flash the device.
Now I have CM10 installed and is smiling!
Took me 4 days but damn it its done!
Thanks for the help!
Glad you've figured it out

I bricked my opx I was able to bring it to life but the ****ty recovery doesn't let me flash anything so I am stuck no OS and boot loader locked and my computer isn't recognizing the dam thing I have installed SDK tools and google USB drivers but for some reason I am not able to get the Dan thing to connect right when I try via adb sideload it starts then the phone says fail...... Please help I am love this device and brand but I am getting really mad I am about a week in to trying to fix this but no luck I am using windows 10 also
Sorry to say, but you gotta follow this thread.
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus X
Since you may ignore the other thread you started or it may get deleted I'll copypasta here:
We can try to unlock the bootloader as it is now, but that doesn't usually work unless you checked "OEM Bootloader Unlock" in the system settings before the device was bricked. Hindsight is 20/20 but as a word of advice for the future, never ever mess with a device unless you know the bootloader is unlocked or have made it possible to unlock it later without the OS. It also doesn't void the warranty on OnePlus devices to do so.
So first things first, the recovery will normally only flash the stock ROM as provided by OnePlus. You can download that file from here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04...xygenOS_2.2.1/. For future reference, when the bootloader on a device is locked the bootloader will not boot any software that isn't complete stock. If you try and change the OS or Recovery and it's not stock, the bootloader will not load it. This goes for any Android device.
If ADB sideload is working for you but hasn't been installing on the device (as-in, it sends the file but the device fails to install it) then you should be able to just sideload the zip file. It'll be slow though since it's about 780megs. If it doesn't send it then you can try using the ADB "push" command which is like copy and paste. You "push" the file from your computer to a folder on the device (you can see what folders are available using "adb shell" and then navigating with CD "change directory" and LS "list". If you can't find the sdcard you may have to mount it). Once again, it'll push slowly but once it does you should be able to install it from the internal memory.
If that works and it boots, go to Settings -> About Phone and tap the Build Number until it says you've enabled developer settings. Go to Settings -> Development and turn on "OEM Unlocking". Power the phone down. Hold the Power key and Volume Down until it shows the OnePlus logo and "Fastboot". I believe if you have the Android SDK you have the Fastboot program (it's commandline like ADB). Open CMD or Powershell and as long as it's the only device plugged into the computer you should be able to simply type "Fastboot oem unlock" and it will unlock the bootloader. Once again, it doesn't void your warranty.

I'm trying to do the same thing, so far with no luck. I will add that this tablet goes by other names, including Polaroid Q1010, Q10, and M10.
I've tried all the usual Android app one-click root apps (iroot, vroot, kingroot, etc.) and they all failed. I tried a PC program called Impactor, which also failed. I've been able to push Supersu.apk, su, and busybox to /data/local/tmp but can't get any further. I tried an adb sideload of something called Poladoiq10root.zip and it complained about an invalid signature.
I've tried adb on Windwos XP, 8.1, and Ubuntu 16.10. I can see the USB device in Ubuntu but can't mount it. The suggestion here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210) is that you can open nautilus in su mode and then move stuff on the tablet but nautilus doesn't see the tablet even though the USB driver is loaded. In short, a brick wall at every turn.

Have you tried unlocking the bootloader in settings? The option is in developer options once unlocked. I'm curious what exactly this does and if it'll help making root possible. I really hope someone figures this out! Maybe KingRoot will eventually get around to it.
I added the st1009 to the list on KingRoot's device request Google doc.
Also have same tablet no luck here on the one click root apps please post update if root comes available

I just got the smartab ST7150 from the Walmart Black Thursday sale for $28
SmartTab ST7150 7inch tablet specs include a 7inch display with an HD resolution of 1024×600 pixels, quadcore processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of memory, Micro SD support, Android 7.1.2 Nougat operating system, front and rear cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 2500mAh battery which should give you a good five hours of battery life. Although GPS support on the SmarTab 7inch ST7150 Tablet is not highlighted by Walmart’s product listing,
I am able to see it fine on both windows 7 and My Linux Mint Mate duel boot configuration. Adb works fine and I can boot the tablet into the recovery mode, but it appears that there is no fastboot or bootloader partition installed on it or it is somehow hidden in Nougat. Diskinfo does not list a bootloader partition but because of Nougat's enhanced security, maybe it is hidden without root? I'm not sure.
it does however, have the option in developer options to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. as far as I know, from my Nextbook Ares 8a root solution thread, this does not unlock the bootloader. It allow the bootloader to be unlocked with the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
One problem is that I can't get a booloader mode. from recovery, when I choose it, it boots to a black screen. It appears that there is not bootloader partition.
Maybe this was done on purpose to foil would be rooters?
have smartab st1009 too

Just checking to see if you have any new info on rooting or backup upsoftware solutions for this tablet
thankyou for your time
Managed to unlock bootloader, but no TWRP I can find.
I did manage to unlock the bootloader on my Polaroid Q1010/Southern Telecom ST1009, running 6.0.1. But I haven't been able to find a custom recovery to install as of yet. The method that worked for me to unlock the bootloader was first enabling developer options and allowing both OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging, then I opened ADB and typed "adb reboot fastboot", and that brought up a green screen with an android logo in the middle. There was no text visible on the tablet, but fastboot commands worked, most importantly "fastboot flashing unlock" which did the trick. Now I just have to figure out how to either build a custom recovery or pull the files needed for someone else to build it, as I'm not a developer, just a hobbyist. I hope this helps, and I'll update if I get farther.
Note: I just noticed that I couldn't detect this tablet at all via USB unless it was undocked from it's keyboard.
Have you tried searching for this model as "Viking" or possibly, "Viking Pro"? Good Luck guys. I had a rooted one. Your journey is an educational one.
i managed to get mine recognized by adb, tryed adb reboot fastboot, gets to the smartab powered by android screen, and hangs. tryed the oem unlock command, since that could very well be fastboot. no responce from device.

Is there any way to update this tablet to latest android I can't find anything on it
Unlocked with fastboot, rooted with Magisk:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
once in fastboot mode (it takes a few seconds or so for the screen to show fastboot mode):
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
I couldn't get kingoroot ro kingroot to root the device. You can use mtk-su from this thread (download to PC, extract and use arm64). Once extracted place mtk-su into your adb/platform-tools folder then push it to the tablet, and follow the rest of the commands:
Code:
adb push mtk-su /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 mtk-su
./mtk-su
That will pop a root shell and make SELinux permissive. If your tablet is on Android 7.0 (Nougat), pull the boot image to internal storage (make sure you are still in a root shell on the tablet. This may have to be repeated):
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/boot.img
Now download the latest Magisk zip, extract it to your PC and open the common folder and copy the magisk.apk to you adb/platform tools folder and install it on the tablet:
Code:
adb install magisk.apk
Once installed, open magisk and select the install option, then patch a file. Select your boot.img you just pulled. Let Magisk patch it. It will be saved to /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img. Then you need to reboot to fastboot again and flash the boot image.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
You are now unlocked and rooted.
I also have an ST7150. I'd really like to root it since 1gb ram isn't worth a damn. I tried a good handful of apps and such (kingroot, framaroot, etc...) all failed. My bootloader is able to be unlocked and I have usb debugging enabled... I guess ill give adb a try and dabble til I get bored with, as Im pretty noob when it comes to software, I went to school for electronic engineering, which is more or less hardware, so I'm hoping someone with some extensive knowledge will delve into this and find us all a solution.

@DragonFire1024 I followed these instructions but I when I get to the step to run "mtk-su" I get this error:
Code:
./mtk-su: not executable: 64-bit ELF file
and just for clarification, I am running
Code:
chmod 755 mtk-su
beforehand but it does not seem to make a difference.

Are you sure you downloaded the proper ARM version of mtk-su? you will have to use arm64 mtk-su. And I doubt that it's been patched.

I did but I think the issue is my version of this tablet is using an Intel atom x3 Sofia processer. And this is for mtk. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct. unfortunately this will only work on devices that have a mediatek CPU.
Hi. Has anyone managed to root Ulefone Armor X5?
The phone is based on MediaTek Helio P23 MT6763, 64-bit Processor.
Baseband: MOLY.LR12A.R2.MP.V91.7.P4
Kernel: 4.4.146#2 wed Sep 25 16:10:16 CST 2019
Build Nr: Armor_X5_MH1_EEA_V01
I have installed the drivers uploaded onto Mega by the Ulefone company here:
https://mega.nz/#F!t64QzRxA!SxZFFl3WrgujTaFshrFuKA!03YnGSYa
I have created the patched boot.img by Magisk Manager 7.5.0.
Enabled the OEM Unlock and USB Debugging thru the Developer options.
Thru ADB, successfully reboots to fastboot by "adb reboot bootloader". The PC recognizes it as typing "adb devices" gives the serial number.
And so far that's all.
Typing "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" gives no result on the phone screen. The ADB says: waiting for device.
I am following most of the steps explained here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-ulefone-armor-6-tutorial-t3948089
Any advice on what I am doing wrong?
Is it possible to brick it or bootloop by flashing the patched boot.img directly?
Many thanks.

If your PC Is not seeing device in fastboot. It may be you need to update your fastboot.exe
In my case there was two possibilities. In Windows 10 I gave myself higher
admin rights clicking right in the folder of my fastboot programm. I tried a little bit, but there is no big thing to get a positive answer writing (before of course I switch on under developer settings usb debugging and gave answer in phone screen) :
fastboot devices
Better and easier is it on Linux, because writing sudo in front of fastboot and ready is it:
sudo fastboot devices
sudo fastboot flashing unlock
or
sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical
:good:
Hi,
Recently rooted mine Armor X5 (with some pains) so remember mistakes I did and you might be doing.
First, confirm that fastboot sees your device ("fastboot devices") . If you get "waiting for device" then
try different ADB & fastboot installers (e.g. 15 seconds ADB Installer 1.4.3 or ADB installer v1.3
Good luck

Thanks for the advice. I am still waiting for someone to give detailed instructions of rooting it.
Did you flash and use TWRP or flashed the patched boot.img straight? Cheers.

just got my phone bro. would you be kind in sharing the method you used to root your armor x5.. thanks.
I have the some problem.
In other device, fastboot are work alright.
I try to edit (repack) Zip Rom with replace boot_verified.img with img from magisk, and instal with SP multi port from official site, its error' on boot.img....
Any idea to verify signature boot_verified.img from magisk.???
Sorry for my bad English..
A Solution
Hi, popping in to say I had the same exact problem. After you enter fastboot through the command "adb reboot bootloader", go into device manager and look for Armor X5, right-click update drivers, and then select search for drivers online. It should automatically update with the adb driver.
( I also found the code at the end of the romprovider tutorial titled "How to create a prerooted patched boot.img with magisk" useful, although fair warning it did wipe my device clean )
My input
I'll say this: There is 2, yes, two fastboot 'modes' in this fone, and is provable thus: adb reboot bootloader - shows a black screen with the tiniest of writing, and...
adb reboot recovery - boots us into (origional) recovery, where we can choose to boot into fastboot, however, when booting into this mode, at the top of the screen we see fastbootd - note the 'd' at the end? fastboot commands work, but dont stick, appear to write succesfully.
So when people say they cant use fastboot commands, this is why!
I got as far as:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot -i 0x0E8D devices
fastboot -i 0x0E8D flashing unlock <-success - bootloader unlocked, and can be relocked.
fastboot -i 0x0E8D flash boot boot.img <- magisk_patched.img (did not show anything to say it worked)
fastboot -i 0x0E8D flash recovery twrp.img <- twrp (tried all available twrp versions, none worked so far, reckon we need a twrp built for this particular fone)
After reflashing the boot, fone bootlooped.
After flashing recovery, fone bootlooped.
So hopefully someone will chip in, because it's not normal that we can apparently flash anything with bootloader unlocked, but now we cant.. I'll point out my fone is an android 10, probably the reason no other twrp's will work, most likely being made on android 9
I have 30 years programming experience, just getting old and cranky...
Seems my thread starter was moved to god knows where, (bang go donations until I see something worth donating to lol), I AM a developer, who buys toys just to hack them!! So may threads in dev section have ZERO useable information, 'scuse the coment :/
Hi, on my side I am stuck in the same way because I found several versions:
- mt6762
- mt6763
i feel all twrp and magisk are for 6763.
Can you confirm which version you have?
Sorry but I'm stuck months too and I really need to root my phone ;-(

error for me too
you are win?
Using win 7 x64,
Phone is on Android 10_Q
Mtk 6765
This is an aarm64, meaning a 64-bit fone, no instructions available so far work, because they are all for android 9, lot's of 'Q' root's, but not for what they call 'A' only boot, which is not the same as A/B partitioning.
All I'm reading now is the same tut's on hundreds of websites giving the same old information... and the fact root is gone. From what I read, My fone is so up to date that I'm where most will be shortly, and with root devs too busy keeping old hat alive... Figure it out: TWRP is actually dead, now. This is why they no longer accept requests here. Twrp cannot be loaded in a dynamic partition setup, (so far) it wont even fastboot boot twrp.img, not happening with ANY twrp. So forget TWRP. Twrp is old hat to my fone.
Magisk, haha, not one version works for true 64bit, (Not implemented yet), and prob never will be, say tata magisk and say tata su, cause we cant write to the deduped ext4 system, root is kinda pointless now, cause if we cant read/write... Overlayfs is the fix I read, in about 5 years...
So its writing custom kernels for the A only tat's the way I read...
Wake up, it's time to experience the cave in to google domination... their AI patc things much quicker than waiting on devs working on what used to work...
Fingers crossed they get round to the new updates instead of concentrating on what works for ONE fone...

Hello, I have the same phone, any news about rooting etc.. ?
Hi,
I got my Armor X5 P22 Mediatek MT6762, Android 10 phone a couple of days ago to replace an ageing Moto G5S. I have unlocked the bootloader on several previous Android phones, but found doing so on this X5 a bit harder.
Assuming you have enabled 'Developer Options' etc on the phone and installed the Mediatek drivers and 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' on your PC/laptop, I would suggest that once you are in Fastboot mode and have confirmed that Fastboot recognises your device with the command "Fastboot devices", that you next enter the command
Fastboot /?
This will bring up all the Fastboot commands and options installed on your phone. I then used
Fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability which returned an 8 digit number:-
D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
...
(bootloader) unlock_ability = 16777216
OKAY [ 0.015s]
finished. total time: 0.015s
I have no idea what the 8 digit number means, as I thought it would return '1' or '0' .
However I then did the following:
D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)
finished. total time: 6.704s
D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot reboot
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
rebooting...
On rebooting the phone, a warning appeared on the Home Screen for 5 seconds stating that the bootloader was unlocked, the phone could not be trusted and my warranty was void. The phone was factory reset.
On re-enabling 'Developer Options' and checking the 'OEM unlocking' option the phone confirms that 'Bootloader is already unlocked'
Don't know whether this helps anyone else struggling to unlock their phone.
The 'fastboot flashing unlock' command might be unnecesary.
regards

You dont have same fone, you have mt6762, I have mt6765
This worked for me (am using a mac so my terminal lingo may be different)
Device: Ulefone X5 2019
Chipset MT6763
Processor: arm64-v8a, A-only system partition
Reset device
Enable developer options, USB debugging, and OEM unlock, then in terminal, do:
adb device
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Device is now unlocked and reboots (unlocked warning now appears on reboot screen)
——
Then I installed TWRP & Magisk:
Re-enable developer options, USB debugging, and OEM unlock
To flash the TWRP recovery.img: Copy the TWRP recovery.img into the platform-tools folder, and from that folder, do:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then once finished, hold down the power and volume up buttons until it shuts down and restarts (restarts in TWRP recovery)
——
• Download the latest Magisk installer file and put it in the ADB (platform-tools) tools folder (or in your device storage)
• Inside TWRP, go to Advanced > ADB Sideload, then do adb sideload Magisk.zip (replace Magisk.zip with the Magisk zip filename )
Swipe the slider to install Magisk
Tap Reboot System
Hi guys, this is my first time creating a thread at XDA. So if there's anything wrong please correct me, and I'm not a native english speaker so I'm sorry if my word is confusing .
I'm not responsible for any damage that will happen to your phone. So DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* If you want to use TWRP and do more with it, go to THIS THREAD to flash TWRP and flash magisk file yourself.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .

********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.
Put Magisk APK to ADB_Fastboot folder and rename it to "magisk.apk".
In your phone, enable Developer Options.
At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.
********** UNLOCK BOOTLOADER **********
If you already unlocked your bootloader, please skip this step.
In this step, your internal storage will be WIPED.
Type adb devices, there will be a popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it all up again and do number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_empty.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver correctly or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.

Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
You need to flash your phone with clean stock ROM and SPFT. This is optional since almost previous system update is just about security and minor improvement. Use MTK Bypass Tool to flash it without DA file.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.

If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.

Hi guys, this is my first time creating a thread at XDA. So if there's anything wrong please correct me, and I'm not a native english speaker so I'm sorry if my word is confusing .
I'm not responsible for any damage that will happen to your phone. So DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* There's Re-lock Bootloader and System Update guide at the bottom, so read it if you need it.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .
Please download the files according to your current build number.
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201014V320
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201201V322
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210127V326
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210415V333
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210622V337
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210630V338
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210730V339
* Magisk version 23.0
********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.
In your phone, enable Developer Options.
At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.
********** UNLOCK BOOTLOADER **********
If you already unlocked your bootloader, please skip this step.
In this step, your internal storage will be WIPED.
Type adb devices, there will be a popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it all up again and do number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_empty.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver correctly or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
********** RELOCK BOOTLOADER **********
UNROOT YOUR PHONE FIRST or else YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
Basically it's doable, but only if your system partition is unmodified. You just unroot your phone and update the system in Settings.

There's tutorial on hovatek forum, you can try it. I haven't tried that but if you want to try and error just go there and do it yourself.

IDK about custom rom, but you can try GSI ROM. AFAIK only AOSP based rom can boot on this device. Maybe i'm doing it wrong because i'm not a linux expert, so just flash it yourself using fastbootd method.
