How to Root Tecno Phantom 6 (A6) in Easy Steps

One thing that made me love Android device is for the facts
that you can tweak it flip it until you milk it to your satisfactions. As long
as Android devices are concern, they are rootable. I root my device for this
most important reason, to have dominion over it completely… I don’t know about
you.

This is one of the beastly device unveiled by Tecno Mobile few
weeks ago, it runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box and I’m going to
be showing you how to root it in easy steps.
All thanks to Team Hovatek, for porting and deporting the rooting
guides.

1. Absolute patience in following the steps involved
2. Twrp recovery image Ported by Team Hovatek (download
here)
3. Super SU.zip (download it here)
4. Unlocking the boot-loader of Tecno Phantom 6 (A6)
How Can I Root Tecno Phantom 6?

3. Extract and copy the twrp
recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe

    • Go to Googleplay and download MTKengineer mode. Open it and click on MTK settings, under TELEPHONY,scroll down and click on NETWORK SELECTING. From there u will see Gsm, wcdma only, Gsm/wcdma(auto) then select( WCDMA only) that's all.

    • Take note that after selecting Only 3G as directed by R&B when their no 3G network it will not show any internet at all

      Why Phone maker put 2G/3G is that when 3G is not available it automatically select 2G which is Edge.

  2. @ Akor, thank you, it worked. Do you have any solution to this issue of tecno w4 not allowing saving files directly to the SD card, even when you select the SD card as primary storage,it will automatically switch back to internal memory.
