[Android General] jacksmack:
I finally found a way to root the myPhone Hammer AXE M LTE!!! You can use Magisk to patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA! See the attached thumbnails at the bottom.

My steps:

1) Upgrade to the latest OTA from myPhone (1.0.3). In the event that you can’t download it through your phone, I’ve uploaded it to MEGA: https://mega.nz/#!Ndw3TYrR!nozVRHC1M4ugn-_PKzC7tn1fAAV6w7bB7Iq2uRr8FHA

1a) I had to manually reboot into recovery to install the update. Power off the phone, hold power + PTT until you see the myPhone logo. Once you see the dilapidated robot, tap and hold power then vol + (in that order!!!).

2) The update should be on your external SDcard. Select it and wait for the install to finish.

3) After the install completes, reboot to your system and install the Magisk Manager: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

3a) If you want to use my patched boot and scatter, skip steps 4, 5, and 6 and go to step 7. Patched boot, Scatter, Magisk.apk and Stock Recovery: https://mega.nz/#!YAQ3BQyS!dJjw-O9pyB7ra2q3qrheo7VFXeyUc4MmW1aqbBqTi6I

4) From within the Magisk Manager, go to settings, enable BETA. Go back to the main Magisk screen and select install. Select patch boot. Patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA.

5) Once that’s done, Magisk will spit a patched_boot.img to your Magisk forlder on your internal drive. Copy that over to your PC (or email it to yourself, my PC couldn't see it for some reason).

6) If you don’t already have a working SCATTER file, you’ll need to download one. The only one I’ve found that works is in this ROM: https://www.needrom.com/download/myphone-hammer-axe-m-lte/

7) Grab SP Flash Tool: https://spflashtool.com/ , launch it, load the SCATTER file, either the one from the .zip I provided or the one from the ROM on needrom.com (they’re the same), uncheck all the boxes in the lower half of the SP Flash Tool window except for the boxes to the left of the boot and recovery rows. Click in the “location” field on the right-hand side of the window, a dialog will pop up, choose the your patched boot image, if you’re using the one I provided it will be called “magisk_boot.img”. See attached thumbnail for reference.

8) Make sure that the field above the area with the content to flash is on DOWNLOAD ONLY. Make sure you don’t have and Android devices attached to your PC and upon successful inspection, click “Download”.

9) Turn off your myPhone AXE M LTE. Wait for it to fully power down (there will be an additional vibration after the screen goes blank). Attach the phone to the computer via the USB cable that shipped with it. If the SP Flash Tool is in a good mood, it should start flashing immediately (the bottom strip on the window will turn red, then yellow, then you’ll get a pop-up saying “OK!”). If SP Flash Tool is being an @$$, you may have to unplug the USB cable, hit “Download” again, plug the cable back in and repeat until SP Flash Tool correctly sees your phone.

10) Once you get the “OK!” box, reboot the phone. Go to Magisk Manager. Hit install. Choose the direct install (the third option, bezposrednie). Reboot the phone.

11) You should now be able to install XPOSED, VIPER, etc through the Magisk Manager. For XPOSED, make sure you’re using the MAGISK SPECIFIC APK (downloaded from with the Magisk Downloader, just click on the text describing the module and you’ll get a changelog): https://mega.nz/#!UYwExLjC!AAZi-qho0PHWNjXMzAikbTHmTjaEtYfLlqYeDbeJM14

Note: Everything I've tried except for the DOLBY modules has been working splendidly. If you brick yourself, just reflash the ROM from needrom.com and start over.

Thanks and credit:
