WARNING!:
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE
People using the Tecno Camon C8 and other MT67XX chipset supported devices have been having problem trying to root their phone and rooting apps such as Kingroot don’t seem to root the phone.
There is a process to root your phone but you might risk getting your device bricked and there is no flash tool as of now so as indecated above, do this at your own risk. This process works on other devices using the MT67XX chipset.
Here’s how to root your Tecno Camon C8
-Download this zip file from here or here. The file contains super SU for MT67XX devices.Note that if you are using the Mega app link you have to download the app first.
-Copy the file to the root folder of your SD Card.
-Switch OFF your device and turn it on keeping VOL+ and Power pressed until you see some tiny text.(basically, booting into recovery)
– Select the first option (Recovery Mode), use VOL+ to navigate and VOL- to confirm.
– Once booted to stock recovery select ”apply update from sdcard” using VOL+/- to navigate and POWER to confirm, and select the zip file you copied to the SD Card.
– After the flash has completed you will be back to recovery’s main screen and just select “reboot system now”.
Note: this zip file should work with any MT67XX device running a stock Mediatek recovery.
Note also: DO NOT apply any incremental ota update after flashing the root zip, flash ONLY flash tool roms when and if they will be available.
