Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.4 by Team Hovatek not working for me
(29-07-2019, 08:46 PM)rbk I've used this before with success on the same device I'm using right now. We recently received a software upgrade and for some reason it will not work.
I need to root this device but I cannot do this by unlocking the bootloader as the device does not have volume keys. I managed to root it previously by flashing over the custom TWRP recovery with SP Flash tool and then adb reboot recovery. However since the software upgrade when I boot to the recovery image I get the native android recovery and not my custom TWRP.
Please help.
I'm trying to attach my recovery images without success I keep getting an error.

What’s the phone’s model/chipset ?
Have you tried tried rooting using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html ?
(30-07-2019, 01:57 PM)rbkI'd done that method before (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html) it resulted in serious operational issues. I can't and don't want to touch the boot and I need to root with SuperSU not Magisk.(30-07-2019, 07:15 AM)innageeMediatek MT6737M running 6.0 Marshmallow I've tried a generic TWRP for MT6737M with the same results.

(30-07-2019, 02:03 PM)rbkOkay I've managed figure out that the issue I'm having is related to this file in my system folder: recovery-from-boot.p. It's essentially overwriting my custom recovery every time I boot up. To fix this I just need to boot to recovery while powered down. I can't do that without volume buttons. I can also change the name of the file or delete the file but I can't accomplish that without root.(30-07-2019, 01:57 PM)rbkI'd done that method before (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html) it resulted in serious operational issues.

(30-07-2019, 04:53 PM)X3nonJust to close this thread for anyone having the same problem rooting the boot with magisk and then using that to modify the "recovery-from-boot.p" file was successful. Here's my procedure:(30-07-2019, 03:47 PM)rbk ...
I'm going to attempt to root with Magisk and the link you sent me. Delete that file. Then flash over the original boot image (essentially not touching it) and try to boot the my twrp again.
good idea! you can try this
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/[boot location] of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb shell mv system/recovery-from-boot.p system/recovery-from-boot.bak
adb reboot recovery
