I just got a Chinese phone and it doesn't allow installation of any Google app. I was told to try rooting and tried but it didn't root. I tried King root, iroot(both PC and phone version s). I tried flashing superSU and magisk.zip in recovery  but I keep getting errors

What is the model of your phone?


see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html for how to root using boot.img and magisk

You're to follow https://www.hovatek.com/blog/your-androi...asy-steps/ and you'll need a custom recovery.
Do you have the stock rom / firmware for your model?

Backup your phone's firmware using miracle box, see guide https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
You'll obtain recovery.bin after successful backup then rename to recovery.img use the recovery.img to port TWRP custom recovery @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21839.html or Philz recovery @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21495.html

Flash the custom recovery using miracle box https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14106.html , you'll need to rename to recovery.bin and copy preloader.bin from the backup folder to flash.

Let's know if you're able to boot to recovery mode.
