Hi, I just bought a Sonim XP7S that would like to root. But before doing that I'd like to make a full firmware backup just in case. I'm new to Qualcomm devices, so I ask:
1. is there anything like WWR MTK to do that? 2. If I cannot make a firmware backup of my device is there a firmware around I can download? 3. Is there a TWRP recovery compatible with my device? (I see z2_row in the description below. Do I have to assume that TWRP recovery for the Zuk z2_row is compatible?)
I'm asking here after I've done some unsuccessful search around the net.
Here are the specs of my device:

Ok. I was able to solve questions 1 and 2 (I learned how to use Miracle box). So I made a backup and rooted successfully the phone. Now I only need some help for the TWRP custom recovery.
