[Android General] garzie2000:
Before we begin, this a guide written by a noob for noobs :p

What you will need;

1. A Cube T8 Phablet with an SD Card

2. A Windows PC (version 7, 8, 8.1, 10 should do)

3. Common Sense

PROCEDURE:

1. Download SuperSU from the Chainfire site and transfer to the root of the SD Card WITHOUT extraction

2. Download and Install MediaTek VCOM drivers . This Youtube Video will help you guide you through the driver installation process.

NB: Depending on your version of Windows, you may need to disable driver signature check. This guide did just that for me on my Windows 10

3. After successfully installing the driver, download the latest version of SPL Flashtool and extract that folder to somewhere like \Desktop

4. Download TWRP Recovery T8 and extract to your \Desktop as well

5. Run flash_tool (which you downloaded in Step 3). If it doesn't run, try and copy it to the root folder of your hard drive, eg. C:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1524.00\, albo D:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1524.00\

6. In "Download" section choose "Scatter-Loading" point to "MT6753_Android_scatter" from /TWRP Recovery folder on the desktop (downloaded in Step 4), press "Download" button.

NB: if you did everything correctly you should see that recovery pane in the dialogue box has been checked

7. Turn off the tablet. Connect it via USB to PC (tablet needs to be switched off!). After short while, flashing tool should recognize the tablet and start flashing automatically, installing TWRP recovery. After that you should get a "Successful" dialog box

8. Disconnect tablet from PC. Run it in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER buttons simultaneously.

9. Using VOLUME_UP button, select "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing VOLUME_DOWN button. Wait until TWRP Recovery starts.

10. In TWRP Recovery, select "Install ZIP" and point to "/external sd/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" (which we downloaded and placed on the root of the SD Card in Step 1)

11. After installation is finished, select "Reboot". Recovery will reboot the device.

12. After the device has rebooted successfully, you should see a new app named SuperSU in the application drawer.

Boom you have successfully rooted your device if you see the app! If you didn't see this app, you did something wrong and need to repeat the process [IMG="SuperSU"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3597564&stc=1&d=1451835841[/IMG]

RESIZING OF THE PARTITION

This was the main reason why I wanted to root the T8 so badly as I was limited to only 2.9GB of internal storage.

1. Download Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip and copy to the root of SD (without extracting)

2. Turn the device off and run Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER button simultaneously.

3. Using VOLUME_UP button, select "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN" button. Wait until TWRP Recovery starts.

4. In TWRP Recovery, select 'install ZIP' and point to "external sd/Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip"

5. In one of following windows that pop up, select the partition size you desire. I went with 9GB and lost only the apps that I had moved manually to the SD Card.

Here's proof of my new 9GB internal storage after resizing:
