Steps to install

  • Backup your personal data and IMEI
  • Check your partition table layout A or A/B (depending on Stock used 8.1 or 9) with Treble Info app and choose correct system image

To go into fastboot or recovery keep Vol+ and power down when starting your phone

  • Install TWRP (after flashing don't reboot into the main system)

    • Fastboot :

      • Install Mediatek USB driver and adb/fastboot utilities
      • Open a console in the fastboot utility's folder
      • Reboot your phone into fastboot and plug it
      • Unlock bootloader (or flashing non-critical partitions), flash TWRP image, lock back (optional?), reboot into the recovery:
        fastboot oem unlock fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot oem lock fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot flashing unlock fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot reboot recovery

    • SP Flash Tool :

      • Download and install MediaTek VCOM driver and SPFlashTool
      • Download Stock Image
      • In SPFlashTool go to the download tab and load the scatter file of the stock rom MT6771_Android_scatter.txt
      • Uncheck everything except recovery and change the recovery.img to the TWRP one.
      • Click Download and connect your powered off phone and let the flash go until green check-mark.
  • Reboot directly into recovery and flash Magisk if you want to go into the stock rom.
    Without Root, stock rom remove TWRP and install back stock recovery!
  • Boot into recovery:

    Overlay is raw copypasta from stock image and may need some tweak (for the notch especially)

You can probably flash the system with fastboot or SP Flash Tool directly but I didn't test. //25.12.2019 Tested. Flashing system directly with SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1916_Linux works. @AreYouLoco?
