    1. Download

    1. MTK MediaTek auto preloader drivers #1 pack– These are the drivers that will allow the MTK SP Flash Tool to communicate with your mobile. Try these drivers first, as they may eliminate the need to disable Windows driver signing. If you have any issues then use the #2 pack.
    2. MTK MediaTek auto preloader drivers #2 pack – These are the drivers that will allow the MTK SP Flash Tool to communicate with your mobile. You made need to disable Windows driver signing enforcement (see video).
    3. Download latest SP Flash Tool – This is the tool that will be used to flash Blackview BV8000 Pro with TWRP
    4. Blackview BV8000 Pro root pack – This pack includes the Blackview BV8000 Pro TWRP, Blackview BV8000 Pro stock recovery, Blackview BV8000 Pro stock boot, SuperSU.zip, and Blackview BV8000 Pro scatter file download (MT6757_Android_scatter.txt).

    [spoiler style=”steelblue” collapse_link=”false” title=”KNOWLEDGE POINT about scatter files. Click here to read”]NOTE: A scatter file is what tells SP Flash Tool where to flash various parts of the firmware on your phone’s EMMC.[/spoiler]

    2. Install MediaTek MT6757 Helio P20 preloader drivers

    If you don’t already have MTK Preloader Drivers installed, we’ll go through that step now. NOTE: If you get an unsigned driver error and can’t continue with the driver install, then go to step #3. NOTE: Use #1 pack or #2 pack. Do not need to use both.

    [spoiler style=”steelblue” collapse_link=”false” title=’If MTK MediaTek preloader vcom driver pack #1, click here’]

    1. Open the MTK adb vcom auto install driver pack #1 in WinRAR / unZip
    2. No need to extract, double click DriverInstall.exe or installdrv64.exe for x64 bit Windows
    3. Allow any permission requests

    [spoiler style=”steelblue” collapse_link=”false” title=’If MTK MediaTek preloader vcom driver pack #2, click here’]

    1. Open the MTK MediaTek auto vcom driver install pack #2, and go to Win7_WinXP folder for 7 / XP, or Win8 folder for Windows 8 / Windows 10.
    2. No need to extract, double click DriverInstall.exe
    3. Allow any permission requests
    4. When you see “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software”, click “Install this driver software anyway”
    5. At the end you shoold see something like this[/spoiler]

    3. Turn off driver signature enforcement

    Do this step if:

    • You don’t already have MediaTek preloader drivers installed

    and

    • Getting error from Windows telling you drivers are unsigned and can’t be installed with pack #1 or pack #2

    [spoiler style=”steelblue” collapse_link=”false” title=’Click for disable driver signature enforcement guide’]

    To install preloader drivers, some users of 64-Bit Windows may need to disable Driver Signature Verification / Enforcement. This quick procedure will have you up and modding your phone in no time.

    1. Hold SHIFT while left-clicking restart. It’s the same for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
      disable-driver-enforcement-1
    2. Your computer will reboot and give you various options. Select “Troubleshoot”.
      disable-driver-enforcement-2
    3. Choose “Advanced options”.

      disable-driver-enforcement-3
    5. Select “Restart”.
    6. Select “Disable driver signature enforcement”.
      disable-driver-enforcement-6

    Your computer will now reboot into a mode which will allow you to install unsigned drivers, which is covered in the next steps.[/spoiler]

    P10 vs P20

    There is a big jump from Helio P10 vs Helio P20 with the P20 allowing decoding and encoding up to 4kx2k, as well as support for dual-displays.

    P10 vs P20 we see the GPU is a nice bump up from Mali-T860 MP2 to Mali-T880 MP2.

    P10/20 vs P30

    Comparing Helio P10 and P20 vs Helio P30 rumored specs, we see the P30 carries a big.LITTLE configuration with 4-core Cortex-A72. We also see the P30 will have ARM’s new Mimir GPU. Mimir is the codename for ARM’s latest GPU technology.

    Note there is also a Helio P30T. Helio P30 vs P30T gives us 780MHz vs 850MHz respectively for the GPU and 2.0GHz vs 2.2GHz respectively for the Cortex-A72 cores.
