The Tecno Phantom 6 Plus (A9) is powered by the MT6797 (Mediatek Helio P20) SoC and ships with Android 6 (Marshmallow) upgradable to Android 7 (Nougat). For those who have not yet upgraded their Tecno Phantom 6 Plus from Marshmallow to Nougat (A9-H971A-N1-170725V72),  simply follow the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-upda...pdate-zip/ .
For those who have successfully upgraded to Nougat and are looking to root, this guide will explain how.

How can I root my Tecno Phantom 6 Plus (Nougat) ?



Method 1 - Flash Philz Recovery using SP flash tool (RECOMMENDED)


Procedure

Method 2 - Flash Patched Boot using Fastboot


There are two main steps:
  • Unlocking the Bootloader of the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus (A9)
  • Flashing the patched boot.img and installing the Magisk Manager apk

Procedure
  • Create a folder on your Desktop and name it Hovatek
  • Download the patched boot.img for Tecno Phantom 6 Plus (Nougat) @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...VQN2M/view and Magisk Manager apk @ https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManag...v5.0.4.apk
  • Save both boot.img and Magisk Manager apk into the Hovatek folder, you'll be needing them soon
  • Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
  • Extract and copy the boot.img (from the Hovatek folder) into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
  • Unlock the Bootloader of the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus (A9) using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16225.html
  • Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide; don't forget to re-enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging)
  • When the phone enters Fastboot, flash the patched boot.img to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter

    Code:

    fastboot flash boot boot.img

  • Reboot the phone to Home Screen using

    Code:

    fastboot reboot

  • Once the phone boots to Home Screen, copy the Magisk Manager apk from the Hovatek folder to your phone then install
  • Launch Magisk Manager and Root checker to verify root
  • To unroot, simply flash the stock Tecno Phantom 6 Plus Nougat boot.img @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...1OVDQ/view in fastboot

You need to flash stock boot.img and recovery.img for your build number else it could brick your phone
