[Please help] Cant get my Tecno Camon CF7 rooted
(17-04-2020, 05:46 PM)Goldinhma I've been trying to root my tecno CF7 without success. I've tried countless tutorials but yet nothing came up.
I followed the procedure to unlock my OEM bootloader.
And everything worked fine, but when I press the code to check if my phone has been unlocked, nothing comes up!
But when I boot up my Tecno CF7 it shows the "Orange State, device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". And from my Developer options, the OEM bootloader has is active and greyed out and states boot loader unlocked.
So I decided to get the TWRP for Tecno CF7 and using adb, I flashed the recovery and it was success.
But when I use the adb to enter the recovery, it just brings the android robot and I couldn't see the recovery option to choose from the list so as to start up the TWRP.
I tried the power button and volume up, but yet from the list nothing like recovery except the "recovery log".
Don't know if I've done anything wrong or missed anything.
I've also tried installing the Recovery with SP Flash tool, but when I plugged in my phone, it shows error: brom cmd ...."
My phone is still working fine and it's currently the one I'm messaging witj
Thanks

Thanks so much! I followed the step and I finally rooted it successfully! Any suggestions on custom Roms I can use?
(23-04-2020, 08:56 PM)olakunal Custom roms for CF7 have bugs just like other Generic System Image (GSI) Roms eg: Hotspot not working etc.------------------
I would advise you stick with your HiOs stock ROM, which in my opinion is also a custom ROM as it differs from Google's original vanilla android roms.
If you need some modifications, I'll advise you go use Xposed Framework for Oreo + Gravity. Gravity helps you unlock most of the features available in other custom Roms.
TIP: You must perform a full nandroid backup (all 35 partitions) using my custom TWRP before you install in Xposed. Safety first since you're still a beginner so you can easily recover from your mistakes without any help.
To fully backup all 35 partitions on your MediTek chipset, you need to be running my custom TWRP for CF7. Get it here https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-31817.html
If you're still interested in testing a Custom ROM this would be your guide. Jackson Ma kinda released Lineage OS 16 aka Android 9 (pie) GSI for Camon CF7 a while back. You can read here first.

Thanks so much! I'll stick to the advise on using the ROM that came with it to avoid issues.
I'll check out the Xposed too. Thanks
