How to Root Vivo V3 Max and Install TWRP recovery

An unofficial build of TWRP recovery is now available for the Vivo V3 Max, thanks to liamcrayden over at xda who ported over the TWRP build in English from a Chinese version.

With TWRP, you can root your Vivo V3 Max using either SuperSU or Magisk zip. While rooting with SuperSU is simpler and straightforward, but Magisk gives you the flexibility to disable root on-the-fly when needed.

Grab the Vivo V3 Max TWRP recovery from the download link below and follow the instructions link to get it installed via Fastboot and then root your device by following the guide.

  3. The recovery image flashed fine but I failed to root my device. After flashing Chainfires SuperSu Zip When i turned on my phone there was super Su launcher Icon , when I opened it, it displayed “SU Binary not found”. I also tried Magisk Method and it gave me a similar result. I’m on Funtouch OS_2.5 , Software version PD1523F_EX_A_2.7.16
    Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thank You
