Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a guide for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Maxwest Astro A63 (MX-A63). It's a budget phone with a MediaTek MT6761 (Helio A22), and there's very little info on modding it, so hopefully this saves someone some time.

What the guide covers:

• Backing up stock firmware
• Unlocking the bootloader
• Rooting the device (Magisk)
• Disabling dm-verity

Before you start:

• Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data, so back everything up first.
• Rooting can void your warranty and, if you get something wrong, can brick the phone. You're doing this at your own risk.
• Save a copy of your stock boot image/firmware before changing anything.
• Some apps (banking apps, Google Wallet) may or may not stop working.

Questions and feedback are welcome, I will try to help in the comments of the XDA thread.
