[Guide] How to Root Original Cube T8 and Resize partition

Before we begin, this a guide written by a noob for noobs
Disclaimer; I'm not responsible if you fry your device. Just follow this guide assiduously and you should be fine

What you will need;
1. A Cube T8 Phablet with an SD Card
2. A Windows PC (version 7, 8, 8.1, 10 should do)
3. Common Sense
PROCEDURE:
1. Download SuperSU from the Chainfire site and transfer to the root of the SD Card WITHOUT extraction
2. Download and Install MediaTek VCOM drivers . This Youtube Video will help you guide you through the driver installation process.
NB: Depending on your version of Windows, you may need to disable driver signature check. This guide did just that for me on my Windows 10
3. After successfully installing the driver, download the latest version of SPL Flashtool and extract that folder to somewhere like \Desktop
4. Download TWRP Recovery T8 and extract to your \Desktop as well
5. Run flash_tool (which you downloaded in Step 3). If it doesn't run, try and copy it to the root folder of your hard drive, eg. C:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1524.00\, albo D:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1524.00\
6. In "Download" section choose "Scatter-Loading" point to "MT6753_Android_scatter" from /TWRP Recovery folder on the desktop (downloaded in Step 4), press "Download" button.
NB: if you did everything correctly you should see that recovery pane in the dialogue box has been checked
7. Turn off the tablet. Connect it via USB to PC (tablet needs to be switched off!). After short while, flashing tool should recognize the tablet and start flashing automatically, installing TWRP recovery. After that you should get a "Successful" dialog box
8. Disconnect tablet from PC. Run it in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER buttons simultaneously.
9. Using VOLUME_UP button, select "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing VOLUME_DOWN button. Wait until TWRP Recovery starts.
10. In TWRP Recovery, select "Install ZIP" and point to "/external sd/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" (which we downloaded and placed on the root of the SD Card in Step 1)
11. After installation is finished, select "Reboot". Recovery will reboot the device.
12. After the device has rebooted successfully, you should see a new app named SuperSU in the application drawer.
Boom you have successfully rooted your device if you see the app! If you didn't see this app, you did something wrong and need to repeat the process

RESIZING OF THE PARTITION
This was the main reason why I wanted to root the T8 so badly as I was limited to only 2.9GB of internal storage.
1. Download Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip and copy to the root of SD (without extracting)
2. Turn the device off and run Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER button simultaneously.
3. Using VOLUME_UP button, select "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN" button. Wait until TWRP Recovery starts.
4. In TWRP Recovery, select 'install ZIP' and point to "external sd/Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip"
5. In one of following windows that pop up, select the partition size you desire. I went with 9GB and lost only the apps that I had moved manually to the SD Card.
Here's proof of my new 9GB internal storage after resizing:
Have fun!

By the way garzie2000, I tried to install Xposed framework (xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip + XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) but I got a bootloop and I'm now restoring my backup.
Did you installed Xposed...?
Thanks!

I'm yet to try out the Xposed framework. Still quite experimental so these things are expected

Dear all,
I installed the xposed framework into the Cube T8, used the V80 and got a successful result.

Sorry I post the wrong position
Dear all,
I found a unoffical rom on CUBE OFFICAL WEBSITE, this rom inside a rom package called Cube T8 Plus FlymeOS adapt ROM(Just for Cube T8 Plus, not for T8)
, inside this package, you can find a file 合并分区线刷包, inside the file, T8-PLUS_20151224_ssd , this is the target file, unzip the file, and use computer usb to flash the rom with yours T8 plus., after flashing, finally, you will get a android 5.1 OS system, with Combined Data and SD Card partition, and A TWRP recovery, the OS not yet rooted, and also had been simplified, no google shop included, so your final job is install supersu to root it, and install Gapps zip file by recover Gapps zip file to get google shop........

[Tutorial] QHSUSB_DLOAD Hardbrick Fix for I9505

Hello.I had my phone updated from 4.2 to 4.3 a few days ago and after updating itself in recovery,it simply died.No charging,no battery pull reset,just plain dead.I connected it to my laptop and it recognised it as QHSUSB_DLOAD.After googling around i found that only a JTAG will save it.Well,that ain´t true.I will give you a tutorial that will fix your phone in a few minutes.
First of all,i did it on Windows 8.1 x64.
Prerequisites :
QDLoader HS USB Driver : x64 driver or x32 driver
I9505 Pit file : Pit file download
Boot repair tool : I9505 Boot repair tool
Needed files to enter download mode to flash a stock rom : Files for Download Mode
Stock ROM to flash.I used this one but IT IS FOR THE LTE VERSION. Please download the stock rom for the Non - LTE version if you have it.
And lastly,Odin : Download here
Step 1.
Make sure that your device is connected and in Device Manager , it show as QHSUSB_DLOAD .If it does,disconnect it from your computer.
Before installing the drivers,we need to disable driver signature enforcement.
First,press WinKey + C and choose Settings

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
or if you prefer the modern one in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10,choose Change PC Settings
Choose Update & recovery
Click Recovery
Then,at Advanced Startup,click Restart now.
Your PC will restart.
Click Troubleshoot
Advanced Options
Startup Settings
Once entered here,it will ask for us to restart.Click Restart
When at the list,press F7 to disable Driver signature enforcement and boot.
Step 2.
Install the 64 bit or 32 bit driver depending on your OS WITH YOUR DEVICE DISCONNECTED.
Now plug your device to your computer via USB and it should pop up in Device Manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
Next,go to Control Panel,choose Folder Options and check Show hidden files.
Make a new folder on your desktop and put the galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB in that folder and nothing else.
Now extract the needed files for Download Mode in another folder and leave it open and the folder you have galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB open aswell.
Open galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB and do not click Recover Device until you read the next step.
Step 3.
This is the most important step because we will flash the stock boot files for our device.
With galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB open and the two folders above open, select all the files in the needed files for Download Mode folder and be ready because when you click Recover device,you will need to drag those files in the folder where galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB is and you have to be very fast when doing it.
Click Recover Device and drag the files in the folder mentioned above and click overwrite very fast.This should be done in 3 seconds max. and if it won´t work,repeat the last step until you do it right.
Your phone should now boot in Download Mode.
Step 4.
Download Odin and click on AP and select the .tar file and wait a few minutes.
Click on Options and check Auto Reboot , Re-Partition and F. Reset Time. Make sure that these are the only checked options.
Now go to Pit tab and select the downloaded pit file.
Click start and wait for it to finish.
That is it.
Final note :
If your device is restarting and it does not boots in Download mode and shows up that the battery is charging,disconnect it and pull the baterry and the press Vol. down , Home button and Power to enter Download mode.If you do not flash a stock ROM with Odin,after your first restart,it will become hardbricked again.
Don´t forget to hit that thanks button if it helped you.
Goodluck.

Plz help me i am using this tutorial to fix my p5100 device but it shows permission denied . Other then samsung note 4 repair tool , I got appropriate things for my device. Plz help

Thank you a lot! It worked!
It took me a bit of time, this is my extra info for others:
- When doing the step 3, a command window with scrolling text will appear with 2 lines. You must do the copy paste thing BEFORE the text starts rolling as that indicates it started using those files. If no window with text opens, try again
- With odin I had 2 problems: One, that it was failing to do the copying, the reason was that I was using a wrong ROM. Second was that a ROM was written, but it was the incorrect one so I had to start again from step 0.
So try a different ROM.
I read the cable may be a problem too, but it wasn't in my case.
In between retries and after succeeding, removing the usb cable AND the battery may help.

(GUIDE:) How to ROOT the TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi Model) - (12/10/21):

Hello all,
BORING INTRO STUFF (Safely Ignore This):
I couldn't find any guide that was current enough to make me feel confident in going through with rooting this tablet. So because of that, I decided I would make on my own guide for those that needed this. I tried multiple guides here and all of them resulted in a boot-loop.
VERY SMALL PSA: I'm apologizing in advance if this guide is both pointless and longer than it needs to be. I figured it would be useful as a future reference in-case anyone needed this.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
* TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi)
* This can be done on Android 9,10 & 11 (Process is the same)
* Your specific firmware downloaded (*DO NOT SKIP THIS*)
* Tablet is charged to at least 50%
* Maximum of 20 minutes to both read & follow the process
* FIRMWARE: The link below is the firmware I used. I would still advise you to both look for your specific version and to use the link provided below only if your tablet is exactly as followed:
* (T860XXU4CUI4) - BUILD NUMBER
* (ANDROID 11) - ANDROID VERSION
* (XAR - CELLUAR SOUTH) - SERVICE PROVIDER SOFTWARE VERSION
( https://samfirms.com/SM-T860/KOR/T860XXU4CUI4 )
* SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS: ( https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver )
* ODIN: ( https://samfirms.com/download-odin ) Latest is 3.14.4. Use that one or the newest one
* TWRP (OPTIONAL): T860 (Wi-Fi) ONLY. DOWNLOAD VERSION "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-gts6lwifi.img.tar" OR THE LATEST ONE AVAIABLE.
( https://dl.twrp.me/gts6lwifi/ )
* MAGISK APP: ( https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager )
* LZ4 TOOL: ( https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
* 7-ZIP: ( https://www.7-zip.org/download.html )
HOW TO ROOT:
1. UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER: *** THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA *** (GO TO SETTINGS > ABOUT TABLET > SOFTWARE INFORMATION & TAP BUILD NUMBER 7 TIMES. GO TO DEVELOPER OPTIONS > TOGGLE ON OEM UNLOCKING) TURN OFF THE TABLET. AT YOUR PC, HAVE A CABLE CONNECTED TO THE PC. WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP, PLUG IN THE CABLE. WHEN THE SCREEN TURNS ON, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP.
WHEN THE SCREEN CHANGES PROMOTING YOU TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, PRESS VOLUME UP. ONCE BOOTED UP, GO THROUGH THE SETUP AGAIN AND MAKE SURE Wi-Fi IS CONNECTED. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS AGAIN AND THEN ENABLE USB - DEBUGGING.
2. EXTRACT THE BOOT.IMG.LZ4 FILE AND MOVE IT TO YOUR TABLET: After 7-Zip is installed, the LZ4 Tool and the firmware you downloaded is extracted somewhere, open the extracted firmware folder. Right-click on the AP file and select 7-zip then open archive. Look for boot.img.lz4, drag it inside of the LZ4 Tool. Once done, drag the boot.img.lz4 on top of the LZ4 executable. It will be extracted as boot.img. Right-click the boot.img file and select 7-zip then add to archive. Change "Archive format" to tar and rename it to boot.tar. Finally, move it to your tablet's storage.
3. DOWNLOAD THE MAGISK APK: Install the Magisk apk that you downloaded and open it up. Within the app, select install, uncheck recovery mode and press next then check "Select and Patch a file". Locate your boot.tar file that you moved into your storage from earlier and wait for Magisk to process it.
4. USING ODIN: Go ahead and locate the new file, it starts with Magisk (NOT THE BOOT.TAR FROM EARLIER SHOULD START WITH MAGISK). Once done, move the Magisk tar file to your computer and turn off the tablet. With the tablet off and Odin open (Run as administrator) , press and hold both VOLUME DOWN & VOLUME UP then plug the cable from your pc into your tablet. With Odin open, go into the "options" tab, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and Select "AP". Locate the Magisk tar file you moved from your tablet and then press "Start".
ONCE IT SAYS "PASS" THEN STOP AND READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING. *IMPORTANT*
PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME DOWN FOR 7 SECONDS. THE SCREEN WILL TURN BLACK. VERY QUICKLY WHILE STILL HOLDING POWER, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP INSTEAD. PRESS POWER TO THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PROMPT AND YOU SHOULD BE IN RECOVERY. THIS SHOULD BOOT YOU INTO STOCK RECOVERY. USE THE VOLUME KEYS TO NAVIGATE, SELECT "Wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button and select "Factory data reset". Finally, select "Reboot system now" and Wait for the tablet to reboot into the OS.
5. FINISHING UP: After the tablet has restarted back into android and you took a couple of minutes to go through the setup one last time. Scroll up into the app drawer and make sure that you see the app "Magisk", go ahead and select it and press ok to download Magisk. Afterwards, open it up and Magisk will ask you to reboot to finish setting up root. Press ok. Once restarted you are done with the rooting process.
Lastly, as an optional step you can install TWRP.
6. TWRP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL): With the tablet off and Odin running on your pc, go ahead and press VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP at the same time then plug in the data cable from your PC. Press VOLUME UP to go into download mode. Once in download mode, select "AP" then select the TWRP tar file you downloaded and make sure to uncheck "Auto reboot" from the options tab in Odin. Click start and after it says "PASS" unplug the data cable. On the tablet, press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER to reboot and when you see THE SCREEN TURN BLACK, QUICKLY PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME UP. You should be in TWRP and you are now officially done.
* From now on, I would recommend you use the Magisk app or some reboot app to boot into recovery as it is difficult to use the button combinations to access recovery.
* IF YOU'RE NOT USING MAGISK TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY, I WOULD USE THIS APP INSTEAD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eypcnnapps.quickreboot&hl=en_US&gl=US
Credits: If all went well then I appreciate you taking the time to read through this guide carefully. Hope it was as clear as possible and that you found it helpful. I will be editing this post from time to time to make it cleaner.
Again, Thank you and if you have any questions, I will answer them when I see them.

THANK YOU SO MUSH IVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO HARD TO GET ROOT ON THIS TABLET FINALLY THANK YOUUUUUU
by the way guys, when it says to reboot to make magisk work.
you are risking a bootloop.

Oh by the way, aside from TWRP being wonky thank you for the guide I had been playing with the idea of rooting this thing for over a year now. You made it easy.
I go through all the steps and it works fine. Once I try for TWRP I end up with
"partition recovery
Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)
CUSTOM recovery
VBMETA T860XXU4DVG6, 54204454R"
From that point it just loops back to that message and downloading mode until I wipe it all and start over again. I TWRP a no go for the S6 now? I guess I can dig around on their site as well. Any input anyone wants to throw my way will also be appreciated.

Hi Sadistic - ,
I need to start with a complement. This is a really clear guide.
But, When I get done with step 3, the Magisk patched boot file has a .img extension
On step 4, Odin is expecting a .tar file extension so the file doesnt show up.
Did I miss something?

Hi Sadistic - ,
I need to start with a complement. This is a really clear guide.
But, When I get done with step 3, the Magisk patched boot file has a .img extension

Yes, step 2 is moving the extracted boot file (re-named to .tar) to my tablet and then patching it with magisk.
The patched file from Magisk has an .img extension.

Ah I see, I would try to do step 3 again, take screenshots of the end result from magisk o:

Let's just cancell this. it was over 20 days since I asked for help & now I'm getting asked for screenshots.
I have moved on.
I probably should have put that in my reply.

GUIDE TO FLASH TWRP AND ROOT SAMSUNG GALAXY J8
YOU ARE THE SOLE RESPONSINLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
WARNING!​Always keep your stock firmware files on your computer. If you mess up your device, you must re-flash your stock rom. Do not forget that you will lose your data in the process rooting!

​GETTING STARTED​1. ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS: Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information and tap “Build Number” 4-5 times to unlock developer options.
2. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> enable OEM Unlocking (this will format your data).
Download the following files to your computer:
1. TWRP-v3.5.0-j8y18lte-goldfish07.tar: https://tinyurl.com/J8-TWRP
2. Odin3_v3.14.4.zip: https://tinyurl.com/J8-ODIN
3. Magisk-v24.3-flash.zip: https://tinyurl.com/J8-FLASH-MAGISK
4. Magisk-v24.3-app.apk: https://tinyurl.com/J8-APP-MAGISK ​5. AnyKernel3-j8y18lte-goldfish07.zip: https://tinyurl.com/J8-ANYKERNEL
6. tryfix_j8_lockscreen.zip: https://tinyurl.com/J8-LOCKSCREEN-FIX
​FLASHING TWRP​1. Extract Odin flash tool and start the program. DO NOT CHANGE ANY OPTIONS, THEY ARE ALREADY CONFIGURED!
2. Turn off your phone. Press and hold ONLY volume up and volume down buttons, NOT POWER BUTTON. While holding volume up and volume down buttons, connect the phone to computer using USB cable. Your phone will boot into download mode. Then you can stop pressing volume buttons. It will ask you to press volume up button ONCE. Finally, you will see the download mode interface. Check the Odin app, you should see ID:COM place has one recognised device and also, check “Message” box. You should see “ID:…/… Added!” message. If you cannot see it, try disconnecting and connecting your phone to computer again. If you still cannot see it, try installing USB drivers from here: https://tinyurl.com/J8-USB-DRIVERS
3. On Odin sections, click on “AP” and select TWRP-v3.5.0-j8y18lte-goldfish07.tar file.
4. Now, click on “Start” and wait for TWRP to be flashed.
5. If TWRP is flashed correctly, you will see green “Pass” message.
6. When you see pass message, disconnect the phone from computer. Press and hold volume down and power keys until screen goes off and SUDDENLY start pressing ONLY volume up and power buttons until the phone boot into TWRP. If you do it wrong, press and hold volume up, volume down and power buttons until the phone shuts down. Then again, press and hold volume up and power buttons until it boots into TWRP.
7. When you boot into TWRP for the first time it will ask you “Keep System Read Only?”. Check the box of “Never show this screen during boot again” and “Swipe to Allow the Modifications”. You will see the TWRP options. Go into “Settings” then check “Skip Digest generation during backup” and uncheck “Unmount System before installing a ZIP”. Go back to main TWRP menu. Go to “Wipe”-“Format Data” and type yes in the box and apply it.
​ROOTING​1. Go back to main TWRP menu and select “Mount”. In the section of “Select Partitions to Mount” select ALL the options, System, preload, Data etc. Then go back to main TWRP menu.
2. Either connect the phone to computer, use USB OTG or Micro SD card to copy these files to the phone: “Magisk-v24.3-flash.zip”, “Magisk-v24.3-app.apk”, “AnyKernel3-j8y18lte-goldfish07.zip”, “tryfix_j8_lockscreen.zip”.
2. Go to “Install”, press “Select Storage” and pick the one you copied the files (Internal Storage, Micro SD card or USB OTG) and press “OK”.
3. Select “AnyKernel3-j8y18lte-goldfish07.zip” DO NOT check “Zip signature verification” and “Reboot after installation is complete” and “Swipe to confirm Flash”. When it is done, DO NOT select “Wipe Cache/Dalvik” or “Reboot System”. Just press back button ONCE to go back to “Install” menu.
3. Now, select “Magisk-v24.3-flash.zip” and flash it the same way you flashed “AnyKernel3-j8y18lte-goldfish07.zip”. When flashing is complete, just press back button ONCE to go back to “Install” menu.
4. Then, select “tryfix_j8_lockscreen.zip” and flash it the same way you flashed previous zips. When flashing is complete, select “Reboot System” and wait the phone to start normally.
5. When the phone starts, complete the setup process and install “Magisk-v24.3-app.apk”. Connect to internet, start Magisk app, wait a few seconds and it will ask you to reboot once. Say okay and let it reboot.
6. Enjoy!
​Special Note: If you want to use a faster, lighter, preconfigured, simpler and updated stock rom with VOLTE, I strongly suggest you to use debloated rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stock-rom-v7-j810f-g-m-y-gf-j8y18lte.4478935/

I assume we leave "Use SHA2 for hashing" checked as well. So just two boxes checked.

Any reason I can't check "USB OTG"?
I get mounting errors later if I don't check it, but it isn't letting me
Any ideas? Thanks
(End up in an infinite start loop if I ignore the errors)

Yes, leave SHA2 checked. If possible, try using another otg device to check whether the issue persists.

Maybe this is a silly question but if I'm just connecting my phone to my laptop using a micro USB cable, do I need to check OTG? I'm not using an OTG cable to connect a flash drive...
The error i keep getting if this:
"Failed to mount '/odm' (no such file or directory)"

1. You can and you should check usb otg option in mount only if you connect a usb drive using an otg cable.
2. /odm error does not affect anything. It gives that error at first and then disappears. You should not worry about it.

I couldn't resolve the boot loop, so ended up flashing the debloated rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stock-rom-v7-j810f-g-m-y-gf-j8y18lte.4478935/). Working well thus far
Thanks for all the work everyone has put into these!

I have correctly flashed twrp now the problem is that I cannot access it and I tried everything to use the 3 buttons at the same time, volume down and power button, volume up and power button and turn off then turn on release power and leave the two volume buttons and it always goes to factory recovery. Any idea what else I can do?
first of all, Thanks

Unable to root my phone because i cant see the necessary files for it, where do i request it here?

Hi! I'm new here. Just read the post for newbies and tried to search for a forum for my Infinix phone but I cannot find one.
If anyone knows if threads or forums related to infinix phones please let me know, thank you.
MAIN QUESTION:
Okay so ive landed here because i wanted to root my new phone, ive done it already once only because my old phone was really old so i was able to find the necessary files.
I am wondering who can i send a request to either help me find/make the necessary file like the usb driver for the specific phone as well as the image /flash file(sorry forgot the correct term)
so i can proceed with rooting my phone
Also, the senior contributors that i was supposed to ask are labelled inactive.
Phone brand&model: Infinix Hot 20 X6826C
Android version: 12

I did a quick search and altough i cannot quite comprehend the jargons, if my assumptions are correct, mtkclient is a tool to help root my phone, correct?
EDIT: so it looks like i need a flash image or file, where do i get it? cant seem to find one(or maybe i missed it because i dont exactly know what im trying to find yet)
im unsure but i think it's this link:
Download Infinix Stock ROM for all models (Latest Firmware)
Download the latest Infinix Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File) for all the available Infinix smartphones, feature phones, and tablets.
androidmtk.com
but still can anyone confirm if im finding the correct file

mtkclient is a flash tool that works similar to SP Flash Tool, but without scatter file. you can use it to read boot partition off device.
https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient#read-flash
r = read
Code:
python mtk r boot boot.img

it looks liek it wants me to enter recovery mode to proceed with he command but when i did it just throws me this, ive no idea what is brom or prelaoder mode
Code:
Port - Hint:
Power off the phone before connecting.
For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn, or all hw buttons and connect usb.
For preloader mode, don't press any hw button and connect usb.
If it is already connected and on, hold power for 10 seconds to reset.

"Power off the phone before connecting.
For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn."
(use an online translator or ask a nearby person help you to understand)

okay so i've downloaded a stock rom for my specific phone model can i use that instead to extract boot.img(will only use this as last resort)

yes, if it is the same build/release you can use it from download. double check from settings - about phone.
regarding VCOM preloader drivers, I can see you haven't installed correctly (yellow triangles)
you can assign the *.inf manually in device manager. make sure phone is powered off. keep an eye for new device in device manager, connect the usb cable.
preloader is only visible for ~1 second, it disappears immediately when phone gets power of usb. during this second, pick the new device in device manager, click on > Properties > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer > Show all devices > Have Disk > cdc-acm.inf
Now each time you connect phone in power off state, preloader is ready to get connected to flash tool for ~ 1 second.

yes, i am able to see it but it only lasts like 1 sec and then it refresges and poof! its gone then the same problem occurs again
do note that
at the moment the device appears when i plug it in, i quickly entered the code
then theres a big delay then after a few minutes i'l get the same errors again

you do the opposite - first start reading/flashing, then connect phone

i have downloaded a stock rom but i still aint using it because:
The rom file is named: ""Infinix_Hot_20_X6826C_MT6768_V826_230314.zip""
the build number is "X6826C-H6927ABC-S-OP-230314V826" it somehow manage to match with ""... v826_230314" and "X6826C" on the downloaded stock rom file name, BUT
on the downloaded stock rom file too, there is this thing called "MT6768" but my cpu is "MT6769V/CZ" should i worry about it?
