OK, if you are ready to take the risk of rooting your tecno Camon C8, download this file from this link... It's a zip file containing super SU for all MediaTek 67***chip
https://mega.nz/#!cx4xmT7a!OOv35GA0x8TLq2lPi0h4yu4RsMt4q_HGYgaQOCEVFvo

Note that you have to install the mega nz app before the file will be downloaded to your phone automatically...

After downloading, save the file to the root folder of your SD card,
Power off the device and turn it on keeping VOL+ and Power until you see some tiny text.(basically, booting into recovery)

Select the first option (Recovery mode), use VOL+ to navigate and VOL- to confirm.

Once booted to stock recovery select "apply update from sdcard" using VOL+/- to navigate and POWER to confirm, and select the zip file you copied to the MicroSD.
After the flash has completed you will be back to recovery's main screen and just select "reboot system now".

PS: this zip file should work with any MT67** device running a stock Mediatek recovery

PPS: DO NOT apply any incremental ota update after flashing the root zip, flash ONLY flash tool roms when and if they will be available

Re: How To Root Tecno Camon C8 by macbeyland(m): 10:35am On Aug 31, 2015
I think I now get where the problem is... When it shows the no command screen, all you have to do is to press the power button once.. (note, DON'T press down the power button for long, just press it once and release it fast) immediately you press and release the power button ONLY, it will display the recovery options.. From there you can then proceed to choose the zip file following the procedure i posted above.....Also note that you might need the volume button instead of the power button, to okay any selection you make when in recovery mode.... I believe this guide should help... Cheers
Re: How To Root Tecno Camon C8 by macbeyland(m): 10:37am On Aug 31, 2015
The above procedure should help

How far
Re: How To Root Tecno Camon C8 by Andking: 12:46pm On Sep 01, 2015
Android has a chain of signature verification that (by default) protects your device from being hacked or having an unofficial image installed. Recovery images, updates, and OS images all have to be signed. The bootloader verifies that the recovery is signed by the manufacturer's key, and the recovery in turn verifies that the OS image (and any updates you try to install) are signed by the same key.

That's why you need CWM or TWRP to flash an update that roots the device. You don't need to root to install CWM or TWRP, but you do need to unlock the bootloader. This wipes all user data on the device. It's a security mechanism, to protect your data: if someone steals the device while it's locked, and wants to flash a different OS to bypass the lock and steal your data, they first have to unlock the bootloader.

so how do we unlock the bootloader?
Re: How To Root Tecno Camon C8 by macbeyland(m): 7:50pm On Sep 01, 2015
Seems the tecno Camon C8 bootloader has to be unlocked before the phone can be rooted....for those who have the device, Please go to Dialpad and press :*#*#7378423#*#* . Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Look at Boot loader unlocked allow and if it's show No you cant unlock bootloader. Otherwise, you can unlock your bootloader.

u r right! explain it clearly. SUPERSU INSTALLER apk needs be downloaded and installed. after that, ensure you download the zipped update to your sdcard. now, reboot into recovery mode of the stock ROM. ensure to apply update from SD card and locate that zip and perform operation. viola!
Enjoy!
NB: I used this method when I upgraded innjoo fire to lollipop version which was root pre-installed and it worked just like that
