I have Tecno WX3P phone. I would like to change the font of my phone but it just won't do so. I'm told that for me to be able to change its font I should root it. But I don't know how to root my phone.

How to root Tecno WX3P?

The following description is rather generic. It should just give you the right key words to use a search engine to find the matching information. This link using the MediaTek specific SP flash tool looks promising: wx3 (The SP tool is a MediaTek world specific way to flash images to a phone)

Classical approach

  • Install the Android SDK or something where the adb cmd line tool is included
  • Go to the settings -> About / Info -> Search for "Build number" (maybe buried in sub menus like software information)
    • Tap it 7 times to enable the developer options
  • Go to the settings -> Developer options
  • Enable developer mode
    • Enable USB debugging
    • Enable OEM unlocking
  • Boot into fastboot adb reboot fastboot
  • Unlock phone fastboot oem unlock ... (Here there might be some other steps necessary like entering some special code e.g. some kind of fastbooet oem <oem specific command> -> entering it to the OEM web page -> fastboot flash <some binary>)
  • Install a custom recovery like TWRP (there are different versions for each device, for you problem this one might work: TWRP X3)
    • Note that TWRP does not currently work with Android 10 (status Dec. 2019). The way partitions are working and the mounting of /system has changed.
  • Download SuperSU (not all version are working, also newer releases ) and install SuperSU to get su (and so root access) from within TWRP

Newer Approach

  • Do the same like above and stop before installing TWRP. Maybe you do not need to install it, but just run it once with fastboot boot twrp <device specific name>.img to use it for installing the Magisk zip.
  • Use Magisk
    • Get the zip from downloads
    • There are easy ways like directly booting this with fastboot, sometimes a "build image patching" is required (e.g. under Android 10)
