Hello, i just recently purchased an Allview P5 smartphone, it's really cost efficient but recently i started getting some problems because the phone is not rooted and i was wondering how to root the android 4.04. i tried the superoneclick 2.3.3 and installed adb and something from java, bu when i rung the program superoneclick the program just freezes and it's not responding. any suggestions or guides that i should follow?
best regards

Try root for HaiPai I9220. For me it works.
Having the same problem here, Superoneclick freezes on step 7 iirc.
HaiPai didn't work for me either
So that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764
There you will find this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?othd1gf76pa97zg
It is 100% functional, but need more knowledge and skill.
Ok, I came a lot further this time, but still stuck.
As soon as I let Cygwin `patch` the recovery.img, it does the patching and stuff, but it doesn´t create a new recovery.img for some reason..
If you check page 13 of that PDF manual: I get all the same messages in Cygwin, except for that "Repacking" bit.
Any Idea why it isn't repacking?
Losing my nerves a bit because of Cygwin, what a horrible program to get to work properly. Installation went on beyond 100%, till about 2000% and then just started to count further in negatives >____<
You must have installed 7-zip archive program.
SuperOneClick should work for this device. You may try this:
1) unmount the sd-card, turn ON usb-debugging
2) turn OFF usb-debugging
3) connect device to PC
4) click "Root"
5) when "Waiting for Device" appear turn ON usb-debugging
6) when "Starting ADB Server..." turn OFF usb-debugging
7) then turn it back ON
8) and back OFF
9) repeat this while "Waiting for Device" appears again.
@Stovka: I have 7zip installed, the unpacking/extracting of the recovery.img goes fine in Cygwin, but for some reason it just skips the repack part.
@AndreyETO: As soon as I disable debugging mode, superoneclick stops the procedure, so I didn't get far with that
So sorry, I don't really know what is the problem...
It was all ok for me - the one problem was that I had not installed 7-zip, but after installing it worked exactly according to instructions.
If it were successful: after recording recovery.img to the phone is first necessary to go into CWM mode (no run phone) and install the root file attached. End CWM recovery mode is classically done by clicking on "reboot system now", but after the first time there appears one more option (just I don't know what name), which must be confirmed! Otherwise, when you restart the phone again, then will be loaded the original file and the recovery process must be repeated - upload modified recovery.img and then root file via CWM.
Found another way to root, and it worked
I used the method in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 )I used the current newest version:V15)
The first time it didn't work, but after rebooting the phone and trying again it was succesfull
Anyway, thank you guys for trying to help.

Anyone found a safe way to root this phone? Or maybe a custom rom for this one?
I think it is a great phone which should has a place into xda forum

Same experience on Allview P6 Stony (P6_0201_V1179 software build). This method works for me - similarly I had to run the script (and the reboot cycle) 2x before it had an effect.
As pointers for others, before you try this method you need to make sure you have ADB drivers installed. Trying to install stock google drivers didn't work at all for me, what worked for me was installing latest PdaNet drivers (pdanetZ350.exe) from here: junefabrics.com/android/download.php *
Don't forget to install OTA Rootkeeper app afterwards and run it once - hopefully saves you the hassle of rooting again if the P6 should receive an incremental update.
Enjoy, thanks Flapperbol!
(*= sorry Im not allowed to post links)
Version 18 also works
Just to let you guys know that version 18 of Root_with_restore works. I just the ADB drivers from the PDAnet install (which I cancelled after the drivers were installed) and the phone is now rooted!
Does anybody know how to get rid of those ugly allview icons? I hate those things.

Hi every one, I bought ZTE V790 Movistar Motion, (in Venezuela) I've rooted and Install a Vietname Rom, Now my Phone Is (Model Number: V8403 Based version Viettel_V8403B01 Build Number VIETTEL_V8403V1.0.0B09) and it's a stupid Rom, I've tried to install another rom from Russian Site but my phone refuse it!!! I want my Phone Back I Don't want this Vietname Version Pleas HELP
Oh yes!!!
thanks for this tutorial bro.. it worked for me!!
now my phone is rooted!!
you're great dude..
thanks a lot..
BTW.. if i managed to root my phone is there any way i can unlock the SIM slots?
SIM2 is already unlocked but SIM1 slot is still locked.
thanks again dude..
it says adb is out of date...
Some tips:
1) If the device is not recognised in the root tool. Install JoinMe as well, it contains another USB driver.
2) If you are stuck in ZTE logo or "waiting for device", just enable an option in Windows Update to automatically search and install device drivers. Windows will ask this when you select 'Trouble shooting' if installing drivers fails.
3) You may need to install USB drivers in total three times from: ZTE USB driver, JoinMe and Windows Update.
ZTE 790 Root
My ZTE v790 still gets stuck in ZTE Logo.
Android driver still missing after selecting auto update drivers.
I'm using XP and it's online.
I reinstalled both the ZTE Drivers and Join ME.
Any other suggestions?
English version of ROM for v90
Hello
is there any English version ROM for v790? I have bought zte v790, android 2.3.6 and unfortunately there is plenty of useless applications in Chinese, as well as Chinese system communicates and the worst thing is that the browser is very difficult to get Google or any proper websites like facebook for example. I can do root and thank you for the instruction but then i will need to install ROM in english version. Is there any way to get English version for v790?
Thank you!

Found the fix to getting stuck at ZTE Logo!
Hi guys,
Like Furiku, i kept getting stuck at the ZTE Logo when attempting the steps from the OP.
After doing some research, i found another spanish-language guide that included the Moto Helper drivers. Installing the drivers did the trick.
As i am a new user and cannot yet post links, please search for the file indicated below on google, install, and do the steps again. I'm using Windows 8 and there comes a point when it goes beyond the ZTE Logo to a green screen which looks pixelated, and i thought i might have ruined my phone. Gave me a 3-second heart attack. Then the Moto Helper drivers kicked in, and it rebooted, and now the SuperUser icon is there.
Please note that I am making the same disclaimer as the OP: Do this at your own risk. Follow instructions to the letter. We cannot be held responsible for issues that may lead to a damaged/bricked phone.
Google this file and DL: MotoHelper_2.1.32_Driver_5.4.0.exe

I've installed all the drivers. On the English words displayed (after being told to press any key & doing so), I get "fastboot error: protocol fault (no status)" & "< waiting for device >" with the phone's display stuck on the ZTE logo. I think that the problem is that my phone uses Android 4 (Jelly Bean) whereas other phones successfully rooted are using Android 2 (Gingerbread). Any ideas?

Is there any custom ROM for this phone?
Why when I plug jt my computer it says it's a V790 when it's a t2 lite
Hi, I just bought this phone from TECA Mobility, it turns out to be an Alps S5. See attachement for a detailed description.
I tried to ge the root. I tried some different tools, without success.
MTK Droid Tools ROOT button doesn't work but gives a link to xda's MKT forum, so I started with the recommended procedure. I tried to read back the ROM with SP-FlashTools but no way, it doesn't start. I also made some attempts with the Android SDK but adb backup of course doesn't work for the System partition without root.
When I send the adb reboot recovery command the phone goes in download mode, with the adb reboot bootloader command it goes in fastboot mode, while to have it in the factory recovery mode I have to manually hold down the start and vol down buttons. However, it doesn't matter, the readback does not start.
Should I try to install the CWD recovery without having a backup of the ROM? I think it's too risky. I looked at NEEDROM to see if I can find my ROM, but didn't find. I found these, "S5 SM-G900 MT6592", but I cannot be sure it's the right one.
Somebody can help me? I want to root the device.

Hi
1) First root your device using MTK Chopper (from PC) or framaroot (from android app) . Both work fine for MTK phones
2) Then using MTK droid tools backup your ROM. Here is the guide for that

I think you mean MOTO Chopper? It doesn't work, same as framaroot. They are old tools, they don't work anymore on the ROMs released after June 2014.
ODIN could work but I have not the sure/right file to download.
Generally speaking, the first thing to do is that of getting a backup of the ROM from the un-rooted phone
The guides that have been reported to work in these cases are:
From XDA:

From China Devices:

Hereunder is the link to a success case story:
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-Rooting-new-octacore-S5
There is no way I know to get the root with one-click-tools, there is no case I could find of anybody being able to root these phones by following other procedures.
If anybody knows better, please send me a link (MTK phones with ROM s released after june 2014 only!!!)
My only problem now is that I cannot get the read back with Flash Tools. I have tried uncountable button-pressing combinations, I have put the phone in recovery, download, fastboot mode, I have tried with and without battery, phone switched off or on - no error, but the read-back doesn't start (however my phone doesn't have the USB connection working when it's off or without battery).
The only way to skip this step is, if I had already a copy of the firmware available, a sure one.
Kindly help me if you can

As bizarre as this sounds, I managed to get root on a similar phone (another MTK6592 S5 knockoff) with MTK tools. After exhausting my options, I clicked the ADB button and tried to get root shell regardless (via 'adb root shell', which probably isn't the proper command but it works regardless), which caused some sort of hang. After a minute or so I unplugged my phone, which caused things to start responding again; plugging it back in showed me as having temporary root, and the get root button actually worked the next time I tried it. I have no idea how or why it worked, or if it was a once in a lifetime occurrence, but it can't hurt to try.
Also, if your phone is anything like mine (and is actually running some form of KitKat), good luck getting write support for external SD cards. I couldn't get the system partition to mount (to write changes to the necessary file) via anything but ADB shell.
Problem solved
Good to know, thank ypu.
However in the meantime I solved my problem.
My phone works this way: I have to remove the battery and connect it to the USB cable. Then it goes in "preloader mode" and tries to install a driver called "MT65XX preloader driver". This driver actually emulates a COM port. If data transfer doesn't start, then, after a few seconds, the device goes down and disappear from Windows list. So it is easy to miss it when we install all drivers. I had to dowload it (from Google cloud service in my case), install and ... the Read Back started !!! Now I have completed the procedure and my phone is rooted with the CWD recovery installed.

Maybe your phone was using firmware dated before june 2014? These was a bug that was exploited by Framaroot, but now they fixed it.
Is your phone also from ALPS? They sold it to me as capable of installing an external 64GB SDHC card, but I cannot have it working. Did you face any similar issue?
Otherwise 32GB cards work fine. Have you tried Aparted app? I use it for formatting/maintenace. This app makes partitioning, I guess it should work.
Also, if your phone is from ALPS, does it really have the ROM memory that is advertised?
I am facing some interesting issues with my phone on this respect. It was sold as having 16GB internal ROM, of which about 12GB avalible for users. In fact, the settings menu shows 10GB ,( 8GB available) of internal memory, and about 4GB of phone memory. Well, if I am correct, this so called internal memory maps to the directory /data (the one highest level in the root), who corresponds to partirtion mmcblk0p7. This partition actually has a size of 2.3GB instead of 10 !!!. f I install and try to run online Nandroid backup, I cannot have it working on paths directed towards the SDcards, but it works on the path data/media. Well, a backup of about 1.2GB is shown in the setting menu of the phone as a memory consumption of about 5 GB !!!
Then I had also hard time in copying this file from the /data directory to one of the SD cards. Root Browser and Root Explorer didn't work, only ES Manager with root rights worked.
Maybe you can give me some advice in finding some tool or SDK procedure to assess what the real total size of the memory is? Or some suggestion on how to fix the ext 64GB card? I got bad feelings with the guys who sold this phone to me, so I would like to collect some more evidence if possible.
I downloaded some applications for making device inspection. They read the manufacturers' data, so they get cheated - even if, in some cases, they can show the right amount of unused memory still available (quite lower than declared by the phone) . Also I cannot see the real size of the RAM memory used by the CPU .

Hi, I just bought this phone from TECA Mobility, it turns out to be an Alps S5. See attachement for a detailed description.
I tried to ge the root. I tried some different tools, without success.
MTK Droid Tools ROOT button doesn't work but gives a link to xda's MKT forum, so I started with the recommended procedure. I tried to read back the ROM with SP-FlashTools but no way, it doesn't start. I also made some attempts with the Android SDK but adb backup of course doesn't work for the System partition without root.
When I send the adb reboot recovery command the phone goes in download mode, with the adb reboot bootloader command it goes in fastboot mode, while to have it in the factory recovery mode I have to manually hold down the start and vol down buttons. However, it doesn't matter, the readback does not start.
Should I try to install the CWD recovery without having a backup of the ROM? I think it's too risky. I looked at NEEDROM to see if I can find my ROM, but didn't find. I found these, "S5 SM-G900 MT6592", but I cannot be sure it's the right one.
Somebody can help me? I want to root the device.

Hi see if the link helps you to find the mach of your phone model file:///data/data/com.android.browser/files/kingelon_g9000.mht , you can root it using v root you will need a pc to root your phone.
Hey Guys,
So I just bought a brand new ZTE V5 Max and upon receiving found out that it didn't have GAPPS installed which I heaily use those apps so I went down the route of figuring out what was needed to install GAPPS. Please keep in mind I'm writing this to help fellow users of this phone so they don't have to go through the teadious research and chinese translations, I will not be held accountable for anything that goes wrong with your device when doing the below process, I just know it worked perfectly fine for me:
Step 1: Enable Debugging Mode
Head to Settings > About Phone > tap Build Number 8 times or something > Now go Back to settings and tap More > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.
Step 2: Install Drivers
Plug in your phone and install the AutoRun.exe that appears in the virtual CD drive (shows up when youplug the phone in)
Once you have installed the drivers verify in Device manager that all devices relating to the phone are installed and there's no unknow devices.
Step 3: Root the Phone and install CWM (Chinese Version sorry but the bits that are needed have english written )
Download the Rooting and Custom Recovery tool here -- drive.google.com/file/d/0B8qJPucQA8GkQy1uTk93dUNuMkE/view?usp=sharing
Unzip and double click on the ZTE-V5-MAX-TOOL.exe
It should come up and ask for a password enter the following (no spaces in the password had too due to XDA posting rules) - www . ydss . cn
Now select Option 2 which is the Root option
Now the tool will detect the phone and press any key and it'll reboot (my computer installed more drivers at this point and I had to close the rooting tool window, reboot the phone and start again, once again selecting option 2)
Now it should proceed through the rooting process.
At the end it'll try and install a chinese verison of the Root Checker tool mine failed which is ok.
It then display Sucess.
Now at this point I rebooted the phone and installed a Root Checker to validate that I did have Root acess and I did, you can proberly skip this step.
I then fired up the Rooting tool again but this time selected option 3 which will install the Custom Recover CWM
Once again press any key and it will begin installing the custom recovery
Once complete you should see sucess.
Reboot the Phone and go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Recovery and it should boot to Recovery CWM if it does yay.
Step 4: Installing Gapps
Reboot the phone
Install ES File Explore and give it Superuser Access
Now go to the uper directoy and tap and hold on the System folder then view the details.
You'll need around 150mb free space in there to be able to install GAPPS, I had to install an app called "Uninstall" (red coloured trash can). I then uninstalled the following : Easy Mode, Handbook (as it's chinese), neoshare, nubia Niudun, Nubia PlatLogo, Nubia Poster and Video Sample.
I then had enough room.
Now download Micro Gapps (Go to drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1T7tp6tJ_3kQkZSWjNsazJZbGc&usp=sharing
Then click on "1.10 update_gapps" then "pa_gapps-modular-m" and download it. Then put it in the root directory of you Phone Storage.
Now reboot into recovery (Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Recovery)
Go to the second Option in Recovery called "***** Zip**) and browse to the phones storae and install the Zip.
If sucessfull go back to the main menu of Recovery and go down to the (****Cache**) option and select, then select it again to confirm.
Once complete go back to the Main menu again and choose the top option to reboot.
Walla your done.
Website I for info: shuajizhijia.com/jiaocheng/9170.html&prev=search then use translate in Google.
Have fun guys.
Have fun guys, and keep in mind I probaly wont reply if you ask for help as I have a day job
Now select Option 2 which is the Root option
Now the tool will detect the phone and press any key and it'll reboot (my computer installed more drivers at this point and I had to close the rooting tool window, reboot the phone and start again, once again selecting option 2)
Now it should proceed through the rooting process.
At the end it'll try and install a chinese verison of the Root Checker tool mine failed which is ok.
It then display Sucess.
Now at this point I rebooted the phone and installed a Root Checker to validate that I did have Root acess and I did, you can proberly skip this step.
I then fired up the Rooting tool again but this time selected option 2 which will install the Custom Recover CWM

unable to add google account
Hi, I have just received my new ZTE Max 5 and I've spent all evening trying to set up my google account. The phone has google play store installed but I cannot install any apps because I cannot establish my google account. Every time I try to set up the account it says "there was a problem communicating with google servers". Any ideas? (I have disabled 2 google 2 step verification).
Can't turn on my phone

You said you have the "ZTE V5 Pro". Maybe that is just a typo, but this thread is about the "ZTE V5 Max", so be careful about what you do.
You can try looking at this post and see if it is helpful to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...alcom-2-gb-t2965623/post63005167#post63005167
But you must make your own assessment and take responsibility for the outcome if it is not the right thing to do for your phone.
I just want the GAPPS zip File.
Hi, I want to root a cubot x9. Could you recommend me the apps that I can use, for root by telephone, and from pc? I'd rather to root my phone by phone without using the pc. Thanks.
Did you have any luck figuring out how to root this phone?
You can see it in this forum:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/root-y-twrp-recovery-mds-cubot-x9-twrp-recovery-2-7-1-0.91238/
Actually, after a bit of googling I found this tutorial on getting TWRP onto any Mediatek phone, which includes links to various tools for rooting (and is also in English )
Are there any different roms out there for the Cubot X9 besides the stock?

Note that this appears to be just a stock ROM mildly modified to work better in Spain. And on top of that, it appears to be based on an old version of the official ROM (v7 - it's up to v9 now according to the "official" thread on NeedRoms, but I have no idea what the source is for the official ones on NeedRoms, I can't find anything on the Cubot page)
And just a follow-up - I'm guessing the "official" roms on NeedRom are via the OTA updates.

If anybody in future is looking to root the X9, feel free to inbox me. I'm going to write up a tutorial on it, but until that's ready, I can give pointers on how to go about it. For a start, none of the one-click root options work, the only way I was able to root it was to do the no-root CWM install, and then root from CWM.
Hey! This is my first post, hopefully of many to come!
Iv just bought the X9, and to want to root this bad boy.
Its got a lot of potential I think, under the covers.
It just needs the power of su
If anyone can help, that would be awesome, as I've spent
Hours goofking it, and, well, its pretty crap to say the least!
Thanks in advance
double post
I was able to successfully root when I first got the phone. After doing an OTA update, I can't get into TWRP, even after trying to root again.
Has anyone rooted after doing a OTA update?

You can root it with Kingo ROOT.
I have tried it and it worked.
I've successfully rooted it with iRoot
Is there already a Custom Rom with English instructions available for the cubot X9?

What's the worst that can happen ?
I've tried iRoot. This will automatically install the 'Secure Search' program (and more!) in your browser which is very difficult to remove. Therefore iRoot is definitely a no go for me!
I recommend "kingroot" not kingo root. I used kingo but was having trouble with lucky patcher working properly. When I used kingRoot it worked like a charm.

Root cubot x9-TWRP recovery
Here is a quite simple guide to root your cubot x9 and install TWRP recovery. I have tested myself and it works fine!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON YOUR PHONE! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
What you will need: A cubot x9 (Yeap I know...dont be shocked)
A PC running Windows (This method has been tested on win7 and win10)
A USB cable
Ten minutes from your life and some magic files that I will post at the end of the post.
*IMPORTANT* : Because I am a new member on the XDA community I cannot post any external websites so I cant post any files *sorry * . To find the files that I am referring too just google needrom . com and login in in this website search for cubot x9 and you will find all these files over there *OR* you can just send me a PM and I will reply with the links of the files.
(1):First of all before we start rooting we need to make sure that we have the correct drivers on our Window PC. Simple open the Control Panel go to Device Manager. Then turn off your phone and plug it in your computer. If you see for a moment a device with the name "PreLoader USB VCOM Port" the you have the correct drivers (clap*clap). If anything else appears you need to download the correct drivers. Just download the "All MTK USB Driver 2014.rar" file and unzip it. The re-plug your phone(turned off!) to your PC and when the device shows it self quickly right-click on it and choose update drivers. Then choose update through your computer and choose the folder you just unziped and press OK. Wait a while and *boom* you have your drivers. Before you continue check again if the drivers are correct ( if the "PreLoader USB VCOM Port" shows on Device manager). If not repeat this step.
Now lets root our phone like there is no tomorrow !
(2): Download and unzip the "SP Flash Tool 5.1343.01.rar" and "RECOVERY CUBOT X9 (MDS TWRP Recovery 2.7.1.0.). Rar". Then download the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" file. Turn on your phone and copy paste the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" file on your phone sorage(as a zip!). After that unplug your phone and turn it off. Go to the SP FLASH TOOL folder you unziped and run the flash_tool application. You press OK on the first window that pops up and then you choose on your right Scatter-loading. Browse your PC and choose the "MT6592_Android_scatter CUBOT X9.txt" which is inside the recovery folder that you unziped on the beginning of this step. Press ok. Then on your left you go to options->option->download and make sure to tick the box which says DA DL All with Checksum. Close that window and find and choose "Download only" and then click download(see the image on the end). After that the application is ready and it looks for our phone.
And now here is the tricky part. Right now our program is ready and searching for our phone. If we have the correct drivers and connect our turned off cubot the program will install the TWRP recovery in a few seconds. If everything went good a green circle will popup. After we see the green circle we have to go fast and press simultaneous the volume+ and power button on our phone till we see the CUBOT sigh. If we were a little too late the recovery will be lost and the phone will boot normally on stock. If this happens repeat the step (2) again.
(3): (Do you feel it? Root is near!) If everything went as planned right now you are on the TWRP recovery. Simply press install and find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip you saved on your phone storage before. You choose it and the you "swipe to install". After the installation finishes reboot your phone. After some magic your phone is now rooted!!!
After the reboot if you ever want to run on the recovery simple turn off your phone plug it on the power and press volume+ and power simultaneous.
Please hit thanks button
for root i have used Kingo ROOT
