BTW it looks like the new firmware update, notwithstanding rooting, comes via OTA. Has anyone with rooted phone already flashed and re-rooted? Thanks

Hi is it fundamental to have? As far as I see, the phone, once rooted, does everything needed.

Thanks for the interesting insight. Did you flash with the original or the new recent firmware? Can you publish a link to the right SP Flashtool? Thanks!

Hi this is the link you wanted: https://mega.nz/file/2TgxVIYA#MBcgheeYZswCMKmNve10bZkx41m5pS6lmrqQ1uxvvLs

As far as this can help, I recently switched to an android 11 device (also rooted) and am experiencing the same trouble: on my previous phone (sony xperia XZP, android 9) my favourite app AlarmDroid took hold of everything doing the following: starting automatically showing the clock icon on...

Sorry if you got hurt, didn't even think of taking merits, I don't really care but for listing a viable procedure for linux (yours was for windows). Anyway, I'll immediately put a big thanks to your credit :) Btw, if I were you, I would be more concerned about the solidity of the process: as...

OK, when you issued the "fastboot devices" command, did the output string contain "EEA"? This is important to know if the firmware was the same geographic version. Also, before flashing, did you check in the phone info menu if the onboard version was the same 20220617V02 of the downloaded...

SO you installed the magisk with the ZIP file from recovery and not directly with the APK from android? Can this be source of trouble on this specifice device? I installed the APK and it did the job from userspace.

I perfectly understand how you feel... nevertheless the link to the firmware was provided me directly from Blackview support and in this very thread we have two users who reported successful rooting.... as for me I am now waiting for further input before proceeding: it would be really useful if...

Hi, thanks for your very important feedback. 1. yes, I have found that very option "oem unlock" in developer menu, and now checked it, I will try unlock soon 2. BRICKED??? This looks like hell... if you can find very patiently a way to shut it off and restart it in fastboot you could maybe...

Hello, I'm back from holidays :) I tried your procedure. Unfortunately it gets stuck when trying to unlock phone. After giving the command and pressing VolumeUP, the unlocking fails this way: $ fastboot flashing unlock (bootloader) Start...

Fantastic! So you uploaded boot.img, patched it with magisk and then flashed it from PC through fastboot, right? At the end I would like to to edit 1st message and describe the procedure which has been successful for the most.

Very likely the fastboot mode can be consistently entered only from the built-in recovery (thanks Blackview for including it from factory!). I am happy that you overcame this obstacle, now please let us know how rooting is going!

Very likely you are missing the right USB drivers, on linux this is no problem, while you may try the windows Blackview official drivers at this link: https://mega.nz/file/XCIWQYyL#KfRQmHtnMRkMQ8-i0ijgspWSyDbs_NLsjvKGnmagbl8

Did you activate fastboot mode on the phone from the in-built recovery?

Yes! Right now I am on holiday but as soon as possible I will try :)

Hello Adam, thanks for your replies. I am not understanding well, in the first one you talk about a patched boot.img but there's no link to it. In the second one you talk about using a 3rd party app, but is it safe? How do you know it does not install some unwanted stuff? So I don't...

Sorry, I forgot I had the ready link from the company: https://mega.nz/file/rDIAWJaR#TOjmxZl5LdjyVur3lwqP2wgNCm19tNoLhxXioRV8n70 Please let me know if this helps you to make some progress!

Hi, I have it, but you gotta wait up to 25th August, as I am now on holiday.

Yes, the MT68xx platform is likely to have introduced substantial modifications to the architecture and, therefore, the extraction methods. Is anybody reading this thread aware of new tools? About the SW, I got no restrictions at all, pls let me know in private how you would like to receive them.

Hello :) First of all, I didn't worry about unlocking bootloader as, pressing power+vol_up buttons when phone is off, already lets you enter to a factory stock bootloader with a menu an option of which can also apply patches, so it looks kinda "ready" without the need of injecting something via...

One update: trying to feed scatter.xml file to SP Flash Tool gets the complaint that "MT68 platform not supported on this version" (it's MT6833) but versions following 5.1924 don't have the field for scatter.xml file.... SO at the moment I am stopped at full adb shell to the device, but...

Update: I just obtained two firmare files, one maked EEA (likely for Europe) with date 2022-06-17 and another one marked NEU (likely NotEUrope) with date 2022-06-10, both subversion V02 directly from Blackview customer support. This is listing of EEA version: -rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 1000 41943040...

Hi, thanks for your answer. Do these tools also work on linux? I saw that BL8800 Pro ROM is not available on the page, is there anyother source where I can download or some tool that can make a snapshot from the phone? I saw that MTK Droid Tool looks like windows only but I am not worried...

ORIGINAL POST: Hello, this is almost a brand new phone, still no resources over the internet about how to root it. Is anybody working on it? Does anybody know a viable solution to effectively root BL8800 Pro without any damage? Thanks -------------------------------------------- ROOTING...

YasuHamed What app do u use to change/randomize mac address efficiently? feek.404 What app do u use to clone NFC?

Camera seems to be ok!

Storm Hi, this night I finally unlocked and flashed my XZP. 1 hour lost messing with fastboot drivers under W2016, just to discover that the right thing to do was the one in the video whose link is posted at page 176 of this thread. Then half an hour lost because TWRP wasn't showing up the...

Storm Hello Storm, looking at the many logs and posts of these last days, it appears that there might be diffuse problems with drivers/firewalls which prevent xperifix correct operation. I suggest it would be really useful to state in OP which are the standard drivers you officially support...

Hello, thanks Storm for your new efforts! These days I was also thinking the following: 8.49 is probably the (almost?) last version to offer unmitigated spectre vulnerabilities, as snapdragon835 should be in the list of non-immune CPUs. Would it someday be possible to conceive a rooting "from...

At least, I am happy I bought XZP and not XZ1C, as these mean actions completely burned its root devel. Congratulations, Mr Einstein!

It looks like that spectre patch for XZP is getting closer, Sony just patched XA1: http://community.vodafone.ie/t5/Android-Devices/Xperia-XA1-updated-with-Spectre-and-Meltdown-patches/m-p/214787

Hello, I really hoped to shed some other contents to my 1st post in this thread, which I have read from the very first message. BTW, like somebody else already said before, it was this thread and the *wonderful* work of Storm which made me buy last week my new XZP, which considering what...

It looks like that my .580 build is receiving notices of .200 update all the time, but if I were to update I'd rather go for .232 anyway don't want to update now. Only this system update notification is continuously bugging me to death. Is there any way to get rid of it in a clean way (the...

No. Anyway, try to factory reset it device and, if necessary, reflash it with stock version. If defect persist it might be hardware.

In .580, 5 out of 6 were fixed.

Looks way worse than .580 where just one of the listed vulnerabilities was left in red

Would be interesting to also check whether .200 fixes all stagefright issues

I do not confirm on my device. Everything works OK.

Me too drain at night is really little

.580 works well

You assumed wrong

No, in .580 stagefright detector shows that one vulnerability is still unaddressed

I confirm .580 is still vulnerable

Just for the records, I fixed the tilt issue by tweaking a parameter in the accessibility options. Also, overcome the stupid 3 languages limit of xperia kbd by installing Google kbd. Everything still runs smooth, I am checking battery drain. I would like to use different sounds for app...

U create them with prf creator, there are howtos just a google away.

Currently running on rooted+dual recovery .580: after stabilisation (at least five reboots) everything running smooth, also battery drain diminished. Deleted all carrier cruft. Only issue: even when vertical is selected, screen does still tilt according to accelerometer. Any clues about how to...

Which FW did u install?

Actually framaroot already offered rooting at the price of a horrible hack (3-4 reboots before device is ready when turning on or rebooting, plus device instability on heavy loads), never tried towelroot on it. But problem is not about rooting rather than getting rid of horrible stock firmware...
