How do I root an Itel A56 W6004 V022

[officialugochi]

Please I tried following the generic way of root Unisoc devices but it won't work, I tried using the boot.img and tried flashing it using ResearchDownload tool but it kept handing when it gets to the turn of BOOT, returning a timed-out related error. I also tried using ADB to flash it, it spend over 2hrs while it was stucked at Writing boot. I also tried using the recovery.img too though without a good result.

I saw a blog post (can't reference it now, will do later) that said rooting a No RamDisk devices using the boot.img shouldn't work, recovery.img should be use, that's why I tried it, but still didn't worked.

Please help. I hope you understand the long jargon I just wrote above.

You should avoid flashing modified files to phones like this via flash tools as you'll most likely end up with a dead device (stuck in flash mode)
To root, try https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-40911.html
Have you confirmed that your model has empty ramdisk? provide a link to the boot.img

Thanks very much.
Yes, I thought on the Magisk app, I can know whether or not my device has a RamDisk, it says Yes or No. I don't have the original boot.img of my device but I have the one from the firmware W6004 V022. Ohoh it seems the file is too large and I can't upload it but here it is in google drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nb3o8QO...sp=sharing

But on this reply https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-409...#pid222074 I saw that using the method will not work on a No RamDisk device.

TBQH, I am still very much confused on how to start rooting this devices.

permission required to download the file.
If magisk says ramdisk No then it doesn't have one. You'll be rooting using recovery then

Its not so confusing.
Now, I just learnt that your model has no ramdisk (according to magisk).
If this is so then you will be rooting using magisk-patched recovery to recovery partition
You'll still be using the technique @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-40911.html (its an Itel thing) except you're working with recovery not boot
For recovery partition rooting, you need to boot straight to recovery mode after flashing the patched recovery. This is how you gain root. The phone will boot up normally when you do this then you check for root access

One way is to try https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21410.html
If that fails, another is https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32663.html

The goal here is to avoid the device booting to home screen before you attempt booting into recovery mode because recovery-from-boot.p would have replaced your magisk patched recovery with stock recovery by then

Thank you, I was able to sign the patched magisk recovery using LiLi. can I now use windows adb to flash it?

Yes

For some reasons, it isn't progressing, it kept hanging at Writing "recovery" ........., It doesn't move forward.
