someone succeeded in rooting s88 plus?

I managed to install twrp, unblock system file, but sd card does not work ,because these are the "super" files of the s88 pro



I manage to start the phone, with twrp but bluetooth problem and the parameters crashes because it minds that I have a s88 pro ^^


that's all I managed to do

do you have the stock firmware for this model? if yes, then flash back stock firmware to get your device back to been functional

this firmware works for me on my Doogee S88 Plus: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...kZBMsYJE3x

unfortunately, whenever i try to patch the boot.img there with Magisk, the phone will get stuck in a reboot-loop until i flash back the original boot.img, so i haven't been able to root it, but this should at least get your S88 Plus back to factory-setup
(ps i made a thread over at xda-developers about trying to root it, no luck yet though: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dooge...t.4288321/ )

update: finally managed to root it, the final piece of the puzzle was that S88 Plus wanted the magisk-patched boot.img signed with the publicly-available-private-key from https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-35862-page-3.html Big Grin

the magisk-patched + signed boot.img is available from here if you're interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/solve...t.4288321/

(i would have uploaded it here as well if this forum allowed forum file uploads, but seems it doesn't. either that, or i don't have enough reputation to upload files, perhaps?)

thanks for sharing these, also file upload is based on file type and size and not user reputation

ohh didn't see it because i used the "quick reply" form,

anyway, i tried uploading here, got

> The file "magisk_patched-23000_TY62U.img" is too large. The maximum size for that type of file is 4096 kilobytes.

the file is 33,554,432 bytes uncompressed, with "zpaq -m5" compression (the best compression utility i know of) it becomes 10,503,642 bytes, oh well ^^ (for comparison, "xz -9 --extreme" is 10,588,268 bytes, 7-zip lzma-ultra is 10,636,915 bytes, winzip is 10,680,161 bytes ~)

You can upload the file to any cloud storage e.g Google drive, mega, etc then share on any platform

Have you tried to install a custom ROM on it?
