The Tecno W5 is an MT6737M powered Android phone running on Android 6 (Marshmallow)

How do I root a Tecno W5 Android phone?


  1. Download TWRP for Tecno W5 ported by Team Hovatek at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...5HZGM/view
  2. Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
  3. Extract and copy the TWRP recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
  4. Unlock the Bootloader of the Tecno W5 using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16599.html
  5. Download SuperSU 2.76.zip at https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_-waNKLv...t=download
  6. Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s SD card and internal storage
  7. Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide)
  8. When the phone enters Fastboot, flash the TWRP recovery image to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter

    Code:

    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

  9. Once recovery is flashed in fastboot, hold the Volume up + Power button and don’t release till the phone reboots into recovery
  10. In TWRP, if you get a prompt asking you to swipe to allow modification of the System partition, tap KEEP READ ONLY
  11. If TWRP offers to root the phone, select NO
  12. In TWRP recovery, tap Install
  13. Navigate to the location of the SuperSU2.76.zip and select it
  14. Swipe to confirm flashing of SuperSU.zip and wait till flashing is complete
  15. Reboot the phone normally
  16. Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...heck&hl=en
