Prerequisites and notes

• TWRP has been compiled by Cleopatra, and root is possible. However, there are still issues with injecting files into System from within Android.

  Root functions which only require root shell permissions are working without issue. For example, Xposed, GravityBox, gsam root permissions, system-app root uninstalling, and the like, are not a problem.

  In addition, TWRP functions such as mount, install .zip, wipe, restore, and backup, are all working without issue.

• This TWRP was ported by Cleopatra. All credit to her for her excellent work. The root functions are believed to be an issue with the Vernee ROM, not a failing of Cleopatra’s TWRP
• Backup anything you don’t want lost (important images, documents etc…) to your PC or a TF SD card. Just in case some issues arise

1. Download and extract the Vernee Mix 2 root pack. It includes:

• Auto installer for adb commands, adb drivers and fastboot commands– These are the tools that will allow your PC to communicate with your mobile.
• Vernee Mix 2 TWRP– The MTK6797 and MTK6797T Vernee Mix 2 custom recovery used for rooting and flashing custom ROMs onto Vernee Mix 2.
• Vernee Mix 2 root SuperSU.zip– The SuperSU.zip used for rooting MediaTek MT6757CH Helio P20 and MT6757CH Helio P20 Vernee Mix 2 through TWRP recovery.

2. Install the adb drivers and fastboot commands

• Extract the above download.
• Run “adb-setup.exe”.
• Hit “Y” to all 3 questions.
• The Google adb driver installer will then popup. Go ahead and allow and install.

4. Copy the TWRP and open the command window

• Open Windows Explorer and go to “c:/adb”. This folder was created when you installed the Fastboot and ADB command set
