This guide is adapted from Blue Devil's tutorial on rooting the Allview P6 Pro using TWRP and SuperSU including all the necessary files.

• Allivew P6 Pro - it is recommended to perform a full OTA update to the very latest ROM before proceeding.
• A mini-SD card installed - the mini-SD card will be formatted later on in this guide as a portable device (if the card is used as internal storage, it will be encrypted and unusable).
• TWRP for Allview P6 Pro by Blue Devil.
• SuperSU 2.822.
• Android SDK Platform Tools
  • On Windows, download Android SDK Platform Tools from Google.
  • On OSX with Homebrew installed, issue brew install caskroom/cask/android-platform-tools.

1. Go to Settings→Storage & USB and click the mini SD card and format it as portable storage. You can, of course, make a full backup before proceeding.
2. Enable the developer options on the Android device.
3. Go to Settings→Developer options menu and enable the following:
   • OEM unlocking
   • USB debugging
   • Stay awake - not necessary but good to see what is going on without the screen going off whilst you are flashing and such.
4. Transfer supersuv2.822.zip to the root of the mini SD card.
5. Place twrp_by_blue_devil_mm61.zip on your PC somewhere accessible.

With Android SDK Platform Tools installed, you should be able to issue in a command prompt or terminal:

adb devices

and adb should show your Android device. If the command does not show the device, then adb has not been installed properly.

Issue:

adb reboot bootloader

and the device should now boot and just display FLASHBOOT… on the screen.

To make sure that the device has OEM unlocking enabled, issue:

fastboot oem unlock

at which point the device will prompt to press the volume UP button to confirm so press the volume UP button once.

Next step is to replace the recovery image with TWRP - issue:

fastboot flash recovery PATH_TO_TWRP

where PATH_TO_TWRP is the path on your PC where the twrp_by_blue_devil_mm61.zip file was placed. For instance:

fastboot flash recovery C:\twrp_by_blue_devil_mm61.zip

if twrp_by_blue_devil_mm61.zip was placed in C:\.

At this point, the fastboot command should indicate that the procedure has been successful so shut down the device by long-pressing the power key.

With the device shut down, hold the Volume UP key and press the power key once and release the power key. The device should now boot to TWRP and you should soon see the logo.

Once TWRP has loaded, swipe right as instructed to enable read-write mode and you will arrive at a menu with various options.

The operations are, in order:

1. Pick the Wipe menu item.
2. Pick Advanced Wipe
3. Tick (only) Data and then Change Filesystem
4. Select ext2 and swipe to re-format.
5. Press Back.
6. Select ext4 and swipe to re-format.

Proceed to do the same operations above but select Cache instead of Data.

Basically this process will clear the Data and Cache partitions by switching to the ext2 filesystem and then back to ext4 filesystem in order to make sure that they are no longer encrypted.

The final step is to install SuperSU so press the middle button on the TWRP interface to go back to the main menu. Pick Install and navigate to the supersuv2.822.zip file on the SD card.

The process will last a bit and SuperSU will be installed. Finally, press the Clear Cache / Dalvik button and then the reboot button to restart the the device.

The device is now rooted and will reboot - you will have to go through the Android setup procedure again. With the device connected to the PC, issue:

adb devices

and check that the device is listed.

Now issue:

adb shell

and you should get a command prompt.

On the device, navigate to your applications and select the newly installed SuperSU icon. Open SuperSU and switch to the Settings tab and set the Default access to' Grant. This will allow issuing su without the device prompting for permission.

Finally, issue:

su

and wait - the initial su will take some time so wait till the command returns and check that the prompt sign changed to the hash sign (#) instead of the dollar sign.

You can now open the SuperSU application and set Default access to Prompt.
