Hi XDA,
Just got my self another android phone. It's Vodafone smart II 2 running Android 2.3.7. I found it hard to root using z4root or superoneclick... Anyway did somebody root this phone yet? Is there customized ROMs for this phone? I was messing with this phone and at least I found how to get into recovery ---> Volume up + Power It looks like it has Alcatel one touch hardware I think.... So help me to root this phone please Can I upgrade this to Android 4 ICS?
14/06/2012 - Update 1: I tried the universal androot from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598"] But did NOT
work it has been used to root Alcatel OT-981
- Update 2: I tried the same method used to root Alcatel One Touch Glory 918N from this link http://jcyberinux.com/rjdreyes/how-to-
root-alcatel-one-touch-glory-918n.html BUT I did NOT get anywhere
- Update 3: I tried different superuser.zip files and tried to install from recovery BUT unsuccessful
- Update 4: I tired to install Marina ROM for Alcatel OT990 downloaded from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com
/showthread.php?t=1556460 But failed to finish the process, the result the phone would NOT reboot. So I had
to restore it.
Is anybody else working on this?

Thanks! I've been trying to understand how android devices work since this is my first one and was about to ask you how you have managed to restore your phone after your little accident with it not booting.
Now I read the you have managed to root it!
My main objective is to update some custpack applications with newer versions and remove others. I'll wait for your youtube tutorial.
By the way, I just came across a link to the kernel sources from Alcatel:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
I got it from another thread here at xda and it was nice to find out that the Vodafone Smart II is there!
Root + kernel sources = ???

The tutorial is now available on Youtube under the title How to root Vodafone Smart 2 II it's Published on 17 Jun 2012 by bassalh2025.
XDA would NOT let me to post outside links cause I have less than 10 posts.
To restore it Boot into recovery then choose backup & restore It's an easy process anyway. I suggest to make a backup first just in case if you have an accident like I did with Marinia ROM then it can solve the problem in the future cause as far as I know there is no ROMs available yet for Vodafone smart 2
Splendid! After rooting it I have already managed to update Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and OfficeSuite without wasting precious memory. I simply replaced the /custpack/app versions with the new ones, reboot, et voilá!
Thanks for the root method!
Hello,
Can you please explain how to recover if phone it is stuck on boot ?
Now just Android image it is displayed on phone and can't enter to boot menu with Power ON + Volume UP buttons.
I jut tried to make backup with CWM got error and now phone it is stuck on boot.
If I connect to USB on PC it prompt for driver but can't find yet any compatible to try fastboot.
thank you.

Hello,
I have the same problem aswell, do you know exactly the cause of your issue? i think mine is that i used SUPERRECOVERY (a program for another android phone) that messed up my soft and i cannot boot to the RECOVERY mode, key combinations aren't working and i get stuck at green android image logo so i have to remove the battery every time ... Did the root work for you? i presume you rooted your phone before you tried to backup the CWM ? PS: i tried to ROOT my phone with that program SUPERRECOVERY, that is why i messed up my soft, did not had a chance to try the root method provided on this thread ...Vodafone Smart 2 here.
Hi,
I had no chance to root the phone, just made backup and after that I try to make backup with CWM and this one killed the phone.
Now I have backup files *.img but I can't find a solution to program this files.
I try to connect to PC but no drivers are found for this device even I try to point to drivers from phone SD card.
It look's like I need drivers for VID_0A5C&PID2132 to try to flash my recovery.img with sw from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144773
but I can't find it.
But how did you even manage to use ClockWorkMod because this program can't be used unless your phone is rooted, and what was the point in making a backup with that CWM if the phone already has the Alcatel recovery v1.0.0.0. preinstalled.
I had no idea that CWM will kill the phone if used on Alcatel V860 / Vodafone Smart 2, I just wanted to be sure I have 2 backup source... now I have one backup & one bricked phone that I did not even turned ON to see the menu how it looks... and 2 years Vodafone contract
Anyway, i had mine returned to the Vodafone center i bought it from, i will tell you how much they had my phone in service, but i am pretty sure by tomorrow or tuesday it will be back in my pocket it is pretty wierd because CWM is an app from Google play (android market) ... in my case i have no doubt that the program i used was made especially for noobs like me to use and Brick my phone ) Again that program that bricked my phone is called : SuperRecovert NOT Superrecovery, i made a mistake the first time sry ...
Look's like my phone will also go to Vodafone service because I can't find available any info, drivers or program to flash this Alcatel V860 phone... it's to new.
Yes, it's the best solution for now ... they will solve the problem pretty fast i'm sure ... we gotta' pay more attention next time
does the battery life is also bad for you?
for me it drains 1% for every 1 minute of calls...
Battery drain problem appear after you Root the phone or it is "feature" from new ?

Mine last about 3 days with normal use: About 1 hour with wifi on maybe playing media for few minutes + Few phone calls + few texts /1day and I always have my phone powered off at night about 7 to 8 hours and I always use 2G GSM + killing the Apps running in the back ground with Task killer.... And I have it rooted for a couple of days now. Usually the smart phones battery doesn't last so long unlike the old Nokia.
I noticed the battery capacity for this phone is only 1200mAh!!!! It is actually ok cause it's not 700mAh, but you get what you pay for in the end of the day it is a cheap phone. I knew that there is what they called Gold battery but this is for the previous Vodafone smart phones the Huawei versions with 2430mAh for something like 13pounds this can last for about one week with normal use.
@bassalh123
i followed your guide and working fine. thank you.
Parents got one of these and lot of crap on it also Volume very low
Cannot access you tube but is the root message extracting file to phone and then using file manager to run it or is it via Odin?
When rooted can the volume be increased and can Titanium be installed to remove all the crap also can the start up vodafone splash screen be removed
Thanks

Hi Mr Irish man,
In one word Rooting android gives you access to system files. So you can uninstall pre-installed Apps like Vodafone music ... Some Apps maybe needed by the operating system so don't uninstall them!!! so be careful.
Refer to Youtube video and learn how to root your vodafone smart 2 it's under the title how to root vodafone smart 2 II

So I want to to root my Vibrant but I can't...Every way I tried it needed to reboot my vibrant to recovery didn't work...
I tried GS Tweaker, ONeSuperClick, rom manager, terminal emulator.....
I got my update.zip file into my SD card but Im stuck with the rebooting thing
I tried all the ways of rebooting: the manual rebooting, Android SDK application... everything thing, I spent the whole day finding ways, watching videos and reading from vibrant wiki..
So what I reached to yesterday is:
while I was talking to one of the pro of android in one of the chat room somewhere, he said maybe because my phone needs "hardware updating" that the buttons can't reboot something like that (since I'm not in the states and I cant get OTA updates from T-mobile)... so I need to download ODIN and find Samsung drivers...
can anyone help me in this please?
try http://www.akaskriller.com/free/flashing.php
there are some files that you may need to ODIN. good luck, hope it works out.

ok....thats weird
first try pulling out your battery.....then put it back in...then hold both volume buttons while you turn it back on w/ the power button....when the black samsung screen pops up let them go...the phone should go into the stock 2e recovery...

Hi there all,
Thanks in advance for looking,
I have a chinese dual sim with android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, as main stream manufactures dont make Android dual sim phones.
I have routed the phone useing superoneclick.
I have been loking for a way to do a total back up of the phone to preseve it.
I have downloaded titanium back up pro and clock recovery mod as well as droid X recovery.
My problem started when I used the "fix permissions" option in droid X which proceeded to over write my system resulting a expensive brick.
Its locked in a loop trying to boot up.
I have read on the forum that it is possible to re-flash through the sd slot on the phone.
1) Is this possible with my mobile?
2) If so what software do I use ?
3) A good simple guide in the process would be a must as I am complete novice.
4) Please bear in mind that this is not a mainstream phone.

This is due to the reason that may be your android is not branded. First of all download the ES file manager. Dont worry it will be installed in Sdcard. Now open the explorer and go to the show hidden file tag in navigation bar, after click on root explorer and click on Mount r\w. For that superuser will ask for granting permission. Now go to device tab and click on search and type busy box which is installed in /system/xbin thus move it to /system/bin/. Now cent percent your problem will be solved.. If you dont find busybox then re root your tab..
Factory Reset on Restart.
Hi Everyone...
I have a HP 7 Plus (1301) tablet and I rooted it with Root Genius, none of the other rooting programs could root it. After rooting it it installed "King User" app. Now the problem began:
(1) It does factory reset each time I off it and restart.
(2) The above solution of copying the busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin DID NOT help.
(3) I have no problem with available space on the internal storage, all space is ok when seen in system (app) -> internal storage
(4) I tried updating with its original stock ROM: Doesn't let run any method of update...from int-storage, ext sdcard or adb sideload.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated ..

I have the exact same problem if it restarts it restores
Same here! Any solution yet?
Bump. Same problem on HP 7 Plus?
Any solutions yet?
Working now ..... just like 'Factory Reset'
Finally I have something working now:
(1) I had to find the original ROM … since I had bought the tablet in Australia I had to flash it with that ROM made for Australia.
It doesn’t take any other ROM even made for that same model, all these times I was trying North American one.
(2) Also only the adb sideload works, tried doing an update by sdcad …NO GO.
NOTE the above operation made the tablet work OK but un-rooted …. so I lost the root altogether.
Well ... the tablet works well ….NO MORE reset after restart…..
I hate this unit now …. it has only one socket doing all: Recharging, usb-in, usb-out etc. Now the socket has gone loose, they should have designed it with a separate charging socket at least. This unit is a new one still being sold in the shops, will never recommend it to anyone.
Do you still have the update.zip file?

This is a long shot, but wondering if you still happen to have the update.zip for this, which you used to fix your phone. It's no longer anywhere on the internet! And have been blowing my brain to try and fix it the last couple of days, HP won't help me cause they don't have the files anymore. Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried another update.zip but it's an american one, and I need the Australian one.

So, by moving busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin, is that the same to deleting it? Does /system/bin equal deleting it? If not, how can I find /system/bin? Thank you.
Sir please help.
Please send me the Australian ROM and guide me also. I will be really grateful to you.

I picked up this device from walmart for $29.99 with the intentions of learning some new development stuff.I
thought for 30 bucks there's gonna be a lot of these little "duallies" running around why not a cheap candidate?
So far as i can tell there is little info found about this device so I'm looking to collect what little is known about
it in one place in hopes to get a jump on it. First things first, I am responsible for my own actions as you are yours.
If your not sure ask or simply dont do, some of this stuff can brick your device!
*ROOT*
These are the instructions I followed to root.
http://www.androidarea51.com/all-things-root/working-root-for-lg-optimus-fuel-woot/
dont forget to install supersu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
and busybox afterwards!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
*RECOVERY*
Downloaded "TWRP Manager" from play store.
twrp settings, I enabled the sd card patch.
Install twrp\device name :l34c\version i instaled: openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-l34c.img
click install... wait... things will pop up..... things will go away... wait some more...
finally a dialogue that states sucess.
***ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF LOSING RECOVERY OR THE ABILITY TO ENTER IT AFTER
A WIPE AS WELL AS PROBLEMS BACKING UP AND OR RESTORING.
I have "injected" twrp manager into the system using titanium backup (link2sd will work also). This seems to
prevent any issues I have read about previously mentioned. Also I have successfully preformed backups as
well as restores, both before and after wiping. I have not figured out how to enter twrp recovery upon boot
yet, so be careful of what you do!
*SAFE TO REMOVE APPS*
yet to come
I use "titanium backup" from the play store, still trimming.I can get it down to about 230MB
available "free" ram at the moment but not consistently.
Ok had an issue with a task manager improperly reporting free available ram... true availability was
around 150mb free. There are apps that have to be replaced when removed, for example a launcher
for a launcher but some do not. Again I'm still trimming and experimenting, right now my system rom
around 244mb free. Most every thing I have done has been on the phone its self without the need of a P.C.
*STOCK BACK UP*
Yet to come
Any candidates for a true stock rom? Ive hacked the crap out of this one so far without the need of a back up... i know tisk tisk tisk!
I'm going for a debloated deodexed stock rom, hopefully!
*DRIVERS*
The only ones I could find that actually work. The Verizon drivers mentioned for the g2, not surprising since it runs on vz towers!

Temporarily went back to native dpi for debloating purposes. Will revisit later.
After messing with DPI settings I'm having a"contacts has stopped working " when tapping on the phone app.

I've got a few of these that are bootlooping. They show the LG logo, and then TracPhone Wireless splash screen infinitely in a loop.
Two questions.
1 - Is there any way to recover them? I'm hoping for some sort of a dev tool that I could flash a stock image or something (like Odin is for Samsung phones)
2- When these phones started bootlooping, I installed TWRP on the other Fuels that I have, thinking that I didn't want it to happen to them. My understanding of the TWRP that's installed from TWRP manager doesn't flash a modified boot image, so you can't enter TWRP from a powered off (or in my case, bootlooping) phone. Is that correct? I flashed a custom boot image from elsewhere that allows me to tap vol up at the LG logo to boot to TWRP. Any idea if this is enough of a safeguard to in the even of similar boot loops?
Any chance you know how to get it in diag mode? I need to connect it to DFS but can't without diag. Thanks for your help!

I flashed a custom boot image from elsewhere that allows me to tap vol up at the LG logo to boot to TWRP. Any idea if this is enough of a safeguard to in the even of similar boot loops?

My apologies for the delayed response. I have a lot going on in life.
As for recovering them, use the device you have closest to stock to make a backup. Do this before you attach your account or put any thing in to it after a "fresh wipe". To the best of my knowledge there isnt a tool like odin available, i could be wrong though. You can push a back up to the looping devices via adb. in order to do this you must have previously enabled usb debugging. The instructions are available on the web, i my self dont know how to do this. If you can establish an adb connection im sure you can command it to boot into twrp. For setup and testing use one of the devices that doesnt have a problem to establish adb. There is a little info on another thread i created about investigating the boot process the link is in my signature for the defy. Please be patient with me as i have two jobs and a single father, im not a hacker or developer. just a normal guy that is fascinated by my little robot willing to learn any thing. now that I know this thread is becoming active Ill monitor a little closer. Also if there is any thing i can help with ill be glad to do so. Im wanting to get a second fuel just for dev and learning purposes.
Recovery
Is there a way to access recovery on the lg fuel? I am stuck in a boot loop because I disabled the home screen service as well as other things that I did not pay attention to. I do not have a custom recovery installed.
I've never been able to boot to recovery by way of button press. Seems like there's a way to get into boot loader mode though. Just can't remember off the top of my head, I'm at work now and don't have the fuel with me. I'll see what I can figure out in a few hours when I get home. In the mean time you can try button combos upon boot to include the home button. If we can get ADB talking to it there's a chance I can send you copies of the files needed. Give me more details of what you have done just before the boot looping.

I bought the optimus fuel a few months ago and i've been using it primarily for a music player/run keeping devices during my jogs. I turned off mobile data and i've noticed that i still see signal bars on the top notification area - does this mean that the radios are still on?
I was wondering if there was some way to completely disable the cellular radios so that i could conserve battery life inbetween days where I don't run?
Thanks!
This is a pretty cool app....

Airplane mode and then turn WiFi back on does the trick. "Radios off" = ton more juice
Has anyone found out anything else for this little phone? I have the LG Optimus Fuel. Had it for a few months now. I rooted it as soon as I got it and uninstalled a few system apps like the LG keyboard, the default SMS app and Chrome along with 2 or 3 other Google apps. It's still running fine.
I installed TWRP recovery and a custom boot image so I could boot into recovery by pressing the up volume button. Works great. I made a full system backup and saved it to my external SD card and saved it to my Debian laptop.
Right now I'm just looking for a custom ROM for this little phone but can't find one. I'd love to get Cyanogenmod on this phone but there are none. I'd port it myself but I'm not able to at the moment.

I'll expand on the above link because no one can view all of the info in that thread w/o registering for that site [PITA].
Load towelroot (www.towelroot.com). Upon running towelroot, press "welcome to towelroot v3" 3-times (quickly). Change 1337 0 1 0 4 0 to 1337 0 0 0 4 0 (change only the ONE to a ZERO), click "make it ra1n" and you're rooted. :good:
This was verified on an L34C running Android 4.4, Kernel 3.4.0+, build KRT16S.L34CV10c, Sw ver L34CV10c.
YMMV; IANAL
My apologies for the inconvenience, I was unaware for the need to register.
What I would like to do with the L34C is find a ROM with all the phone functionality removed, and few to no Google Apps (let me just add the ones I need). I am not planning on using it as a phone (I still have my old Casio flip-phone, need nothing else). My intention was to experiment with creating a PalmPDA "replacement", something small to carry around for addresses, notes/memos, calendar (you know, the stuff you used to do on PalmOS), and in addition figure out how to do record-level synchronization **locally** (as in I don't need to send my data to some dirt-floor shack in Bangalore just to have it sent back to a device 2 feet away from my computer). Additionally, would line to use it as a basic portable media player. Essentially, trying to re-create the Palm LifeDrive on Android.
To my knowledge there are no roms available for this device. Your best bet in my opinion is to remove apps 1 by 1 after rooting. Google each and find out what the risk and severity of removing them are. I have donated my device to a less fortunate fellow employee. So as of now I'm unable to help with testing. This method is what I do for all of my devices until I'm finally happy with its performance and functionality. Think of Android as the swiss army knife of the computer world, you can do just about any thing with it, you just gotta figure out what tools are useful to you and the ones you can do with out, then you gotta ask Google witch ones Android can function with out. I hope you find what your looking for in the little robot, its a really neat world inside there!
I hate to bump an old thread but, I also don't it necessary to start a new one, at least not yet anyway but, I too am looking for a way to flash stock ROM. I have LG34Cs to use as a reference..
Where is the link to exposed framework at for this phone?

Broken as in doesn't boot into recovery. The phone will still boot into android, assuming you have a working system, and within android with root you can flash a working recovery image over a broken flash with the dd command on the twrp device info page (twrp.me/lg/lgoptimusfuel.html). So no real risk of brick, just possible inconvenience that might require a battery pull.
I built twrp 3.2.1 with same sources but I have not tested it since my battery seems to have completely died and the phone won't boot with usb power alone.
Here is link anyway in case anyone is interested:

Hi everyone,
I bought a No.1 X2 (001mobilephone) about 3 months ago, I have tried every version I can of PC > Phone rooting software and .apk's plus tried using a few similar tools that use ADB. (inc kingoroot, kingroot (chinese), SRS, oneclickroot, towel, androidroot, etc)
I cannot get the phone rooted and I do not want to wait, phone-less, for a month (at least a month to send to the manufacturer who was supposed to have rooted before it was shipped - and who knows if they will send it again without root).
the phone (may?) seams to have partial root, when i installed led manager, and have since done a wipe, the led settings seamed to have stayed with my custom email and other notification colours.
Specs/software is:
Qualcomm MSM8916
android 4.4.4
Kernal 3.10.28

Hi, same phone, same problem. The above site might be interesting for you. No.1 supplies Qualcomm software and the phone's firmware with a tutorial to root. I succeeded in putting firmware on a bricked X2, but still did not get root access. But I am a newby, so give it a try. Good luck
UNBRICK no.1 x2 using original ROM
Thanks for this, i now have access to the ROM, and if you can understand the instructions its possible to install the ROM again.
I just did this today, however its partially rooted, as was my phone when I received the X2.
I need to now try to use kitchen and a bunch of other tools as described here to try and install Su and/or root the rom: en.miui.com/thread-21539-1-1.html
if i am sucessful i will post instructions, for now here are clear instructions on how to (should work as tested on my x2) unbrick X2 with this software.
1. download this: "ht tps: SLASH SLASH drive DOT google DOT com SLASH file SLASH d SLASH 0ByeMRyNUHsNRdGc0Qk1jQlJIb3c SLASH view" (i have less than 10 posts so cannot type full url, replace SLASH SLASH with // and DOT with .)
2. extract the rar (download trial of winrar or similar to extract (noobs))
3. launch the setup.exe from the folder you extracted too. (remember where it is installed)
4. extract the X2.rar to a folder (new folder on desktop or my docs)
5. right click (win 7, 8 10) and run as admin (the installed program from desktop called "QMSCT")
6. open the "setup" menu in QMSCT and click "configuration"
7. make settings look like the picture in: "ht tp s: SLASH SLASH drive . google . com SLASH file SLASH d SLASH 0B2M8OmUI5XS-SGtudHYwS0tLZGc SLASH view?usp=sharing"
all check boxes and fixed options must be identical, i have highlighted red
8. insert (red again) the file names shown in the picture (they will be in the original extracted rar where you launched the setup program or in the directory you installed to).
9. in the bottom field locate the folder where you extracted the x2.rar, this folder location is the folder you must browse to and select in the bottom of the settings screen. Only care about the red markings i made, i will now tell you below how to get the information you cannot change yet in the settings.
10. first SAVE, exit the settings, then exit program.
11. plug in no.1 X2 Mobile, while phone on hold power until options appear, then hit restart, before it turns off and vibrates, hold down both volume buttons and then also press and hold power... do'nt let go until phone vibrates and turns on to a blank screen... sometimes it will restart, just do it over again and again until it boots up blank (screen has lit up back/grey)
12. when screen blank windows will install driver. NB: Unfortunatly i had issues here and it took a windows 10 tech preview install 10041 build x64 to do this, however it did not get fiddly i just had to try xppro, win 10x64 on a laptop and then my desktop to work it out, also I was following chinese instructions that had been translated and were not perfect to begin with. So any win 7, xp or 8 might need to source which driver to install from no.1. Windows 10 tech preview is free and can be put on another partition easily if you search (noob) on xda or google i am sure someone will have covered it.
13. unplug phone, launch QMSCT again as admin, go into settings and click "Start setup process" then click ok on dialogue box. now plug in phone and hold vol buttons again, then power and hold all 3 down until it reboots into the blank screen. if all works a port will be found (1-8 i think i saw in my many attempts) once it has found it and you see the information on the screen look similar to my screen shot, click on save. note your port will maybe differ, and if it does not work, restart application and phone again and repeat. when it saves, exit configuration, exit application and then you need to restart application
14. if all is right, plug in phone, hold the 3 buttons in order again, and the application will start flashing it. DONT UNPLUG UNTIL RED OR GREEN shown in app.
RED=fail - go back through my instructions and the supplied "flash tutorial.docx" in the RAR (you extracted this at the begining - the pictures may help more than the instructions they gave)
GREEN=Woohoo! all done, unplug phone and do the power button combo, it will restart (might need to do combo a few times)
NB: settings stay the same once this application is set up, so you do not need to go through all again in future, just launch app and then plug in phone and do 3 button combo.
I hope this helps, if you are good with CUSTOM ROM creation, feel free to see if you can get this rom rooted and flashed and tell me/readers of this forum... if anyone wants a real challenge, root this rom, make the kernal 64bit and not 32bit and then post here.... this is what I want to do eventually if i can work it out.
good luck any bricked x2 owners

Ok so if you are still bricked (as I temp was) use this program: qtadb . wordpress . com SLASH download.
it fixed my x2 which was in boot loop, could not use adb or the flash program to even see it, win 10 was not recognising anything driver wise.
just extract from the x2.rar with all the boot img etc: boot.img and recovery.img
locate most recent android sdk/platform tools folder when asked for it
click on the corresponding "flash recovery" in qtadb and locate the extracted image, do the same with the boot img tab and find your boot img
that's the order i did it in, i may have reset phone between them and cleared cache by holding vol+ and power and using boot loader. I had installed an msm8916 file to root, that apparently does not... ah well we live and learn.
looking for solution to turn that x2.rar into a rom.zip as kitchen does not work with it. maybe im doing something wrong?
anyway phone on again so the search continues...

Hi
This forum is the closest thing I have found which might help me in my problem to fix my 1 week old X2.
I really enjoyed using it - I got it 2 weeks ago - and it was working fine for all the week then last weekend I had a few apps running and the screen froze. I rebooted the phone but it just stayed black and never came on again. It is a stock standard phone - and it has not been rooted or modified in any way. Someone suggested removig the battery then refitting it.
How is that done?
Is that a good thing to do?
What else can I try?
Has anybody any idea on what might have caused this?
I'm stuck!

Hi,
I have one as well: it is indeed fun to play with but it is not reliable. I had multiple issues with it in the past months. Therefor my advice is: send it back and claim your guarantee (especially if you want to use it as your primary phone). Otherwise use the unbrick advice from markatkins earlier in this thread (but you have to feel secure with android)
good luck

Looks like I have to pay a premium on the freight via courier to get it back to China. The local postal service won't take it because it contains a (non-removable) Lithium battery.. I'm not sure about unbricking it as it seems it is a very complicated process - and seeing that it seems completely dead -(not any signs of life, no lights, no screen) do you thnk it is just a matter of a firmware reset? If I attempt to unbrick it - I lose the warranty right?
So my best bet I think is to depart with several tens of dollars for the freight and demand a replacement that will not bug out inside 2 weeks.
issue, try this

Look I had this issue regarding dead and not turning on... sometimes charging it for several hours and it would just come back to life, i believe it is a battery issue, reading battery (stock rom) and when it may say 15% for example, the battery is actually empty and it dies, the charging should make display turn on but does not for a long, long time.
if this does not work, hold down vol up or vol down plus power button, this can breath life into it (sometimes both up and down plus power) remember press all at exactly same time and hold for 10 seconds at least for reset (unless it comes back before 10 seconds)
been a while since i held my phone so check top of page for my instructions as it is in there
best of luck

Nice work
you need to install all ports to make this work well... i am going off memory from over 2 months ago but if you can revisit my instructions and check how many ports i have to setup, it should get you a green light, i could see an error in a photo at bottom of word... something about ports, this may confirm my theory.
I will answer all the questions soon, once I have a phone in my hand (give me 2 weeks, and tinker while you wait )

just do what I did, post and tell them battery removed (tick the plane and ship boxes - should be on form for international post)
I looked up why battery is now banned, its stupid... thanks to the more dangerous li-pol battery types, starting fires in planes and stuff like exploding, the air transport authority decided to ban the li-pol (explodes and loads of fires every year) and in that they included the more reliable (not dangerous and very few accidents worldwide) li-ion which is what is in your phone... so batterys in general.
play dum, say no battery in phone and tick that box for sea/ship shipping
remember this is a 80 degree c proof phone, pressure proof and should be able to contain the fire, but a fire wont start...
otherwise pay AUD100 (convert to GBP or USD for a similar horrific amount no one should pay)
if your phone does explode or cause a fire in transit... i am not accountable, you do this at your own risk and risk of being fined etc blah blah... read about % of fires from li-pol and li-ion, you will see the chance is slim, slimmer once sealed in a phone that will give it a heat proof case to try and get past plus minimal air to fuel a fire... good luck fixing or sending
I found an app called KINGROOT and worked like a charm. It rooted my No.1 Xmen X2 with just one click, it even fix the Kitkat SD write problem in the process.
I had to erase the SD card after the rooting process for the fix to work and after the root, had to reboot the phone 2 times. Everything is working super fine so far. Hope this work for everyone!

I have just tested the newest software from kingroot as advised released by denispunk, I am amazed as I only downloaded the previous version a few weeks ago, no luck with the old version of "new_kingroot...", however I may be in a slightly different position to others as my phone seams to have an issue locked in (despite flashing and wipe of partition) where it has a partial root access of some form, so trying this now......................
Tried 2 times and failed, I want to ask all reading this to please download (rename from .zip to .apk) and attempt root on their x2 or x6800. if you fail click on the huge submit button as I have been doing this for some time in the hope that they would see demand and accelerate the process of making a workaround.
For all looking (that search for root x6800 online ) this should work the same % for anyone with the no.1 x6800 and the x2 [I have the X2 and got money back from insurance claim, so I also have x6800 on the way ] because the x2 and x6800 are the same rom from what I have researched, the only difference is the micro sd capacity, the 4g bands supported and a huge 6000mha battery in the x6800. most components otherwise are identical.
All reading please have a go...
if you are reading this you have an x2 or x6800 or know someone who does...
if your not very experienced or if you are experienced in ROM work, try point 1 and then try point 2 below, but please just do point 1 if nothing else
1) email No.1 and "beg" for a android 5.0/64bit kernel ROM for the x2 and x6800 to be released - I have done this and want to encourage you all to help me force the company to meet consumer demand, by setting a consumer demand. This 64bit update would increase the phones potential as it has a 64bit CPU, it currently runs 32 bit software which is slowing it down.
once done read point 2
2) I wanted to see if some experienced persons could visit the en.no1phone.cc site and download the M2 firmware (not a spelling mistake) as this device and the x2 use the same unusual ROM's which look similar in layout. my hope is we can bind parts from the 2 ROM's together to get a 64bit android version onto the x2/x6800... please understand I do know this will need work and will most likely not work ever but with the unique rom types I figure there is no harm in trying and someone might have the ability to open them and do some magic.
now the phones are physically different but No.1 use the same basic layout in their ROM's and the most basic possible stock android with nothing but background pictures added.
my hope, from what I can see in the files of the two ROM's, is that we can merge/build the OS, kernal and some of the information from the M2 ROM into the x2 ROM (I have supplied the x2 rom in the top of this post on page 1) and hope that its basic enough to maybe work with some tweaking, I know the CPU is different and that I am explaining this simply like a drag and drop, but if it does work we can get 64 bit software for our CPU's
if all else fails we can hope No.1 release what we ask for, and you can flash the original x2 rom back onto the device until they release it or someone on here gets through the ROMS and makes us our own.

Root worked
I finally sourced a slightly newer .apk and root worked. Kingroot will root no.1 x2 or no.1 x6800. So far used it to access battery stats with Xposed and installed one power guard to lower CPU speed to gain more battery. The device is very fluid still on 533mhz in power save CPU mode with I/O scheduler in "row"
I advise anyone looking for this phone rooted to visit the official www.kingroot.net site
Great news everybody, since my post asking for us to all send kingroot requests to support our device for root access, the number of requests jumped almost 30 points and they listened! Kingroot responded and now...
Kingroot.net will root the no.1 x2!
If you just landed here looking for the software to root the X2 or X6800 from No.1, please help us make this phone better, this forum helped get kingroot.net to enable root for the X2 so help us and say thank you by sending an email to no.1 regarding getting lollipop on the X2 and X6800.
You just need to...
Email: [email protected]
Skype: quecc1989
Or MSN: [email protected]
Ask for lollipop ROM to be made for the x2 and the x6800 and say it will make the phone faster and have a better battery life. Copy that if you like
Update on this: not only will the software give the phone a bit of a boost in power, it should improve battery life and I completely failed to mention before that we will have faster app boot times as well because we will get access to ART instead of Dalvik (Currently I cannot find a way to run ART in KitKat without factory resetting to get out of the nice boot loop it sticks me in).
For those unaware of what I am going on about, Dalvik is the runtime android is moving away from because it has to decompress each installed app before it runs, ART (android run time) installs app's already decompressed (more space used on install but fast launch). I find the x2's 8GB is plenty of internal space for applications so let's harass no.1 sales email and Facebook/twitter/google+until we get lollipop.

Sorry if this was a ramble, but power of word is going to be easier than us taking and editing ROM's or making ROM's to get lollipop... If we harras them endlessly they will fold and build it for the phones and all it takes is one email each... Maybe a followup each too

I hope the same for the No.1 X6800

Not much people know the No.1 smartphones (the rugged ones are awesome for the price).
Update: I rooted the No.1 X6800 with 'NewKingRoot v4.62' app and after that buy the Super-SuMe-pro' app to keep it 'trustfully rooted and with SuperSU'.
When device is off, and I press power button and volume up button. Then I get a bootloader that can boot from MicroSD card.
So place the compatible Rom on MicroSD and re flash it.
This works for me with original x6800 rom on my x6800 phablet.
