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

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.

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!

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, 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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
3)Then using MTK droid tools , make CWM recovery for your phone and install it . Here is 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

Odin doesn't work for MTK mate
Try this latest app . It worked for some latest MTK KK phones

Final option is to read back from SPFT which has 90+ success rate

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 .

None have worked.Kingoroot sees my phone as a TCL Device(5038x), but the real name is Alcatel OneTouch D5 (5038x). Does anyone know how to root this phone?
Do you have an impact if it's locked bootloader. and if so how it unlocks.
People are explaining how to root the most popular phones, but not the specific phones like i have.

Can you run adb shell? If so, run "adb shell" in a dos terminal do the following:
#cd /system/
# cp build.prop /sdcard/
# exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then from the same dos terminal run "adb pull /sdcard/build.prop" ... (make sure your current location e.g. c:\users\blablah\yadayada)
Then use windows explorer to navigate to where the build.prop was saved to view its contents (you should be able to open it using notepad or wordpad) ... report back the values for the following:
ro.build.version.release
ro.product.board
ro.board.platform
If it's MSM8212, 4.4.2 and MSM8610 you're pretty much out of luck...
And yes Alcatel bootloader for Qualcom (e.g. MSM8212) devices has thus far not been 'hacked' if you know what I mean.

I tried mobo genie method and it starts one click to root after launching it (saw it in task manager) but it didn't root it.
I've also tried downloading one click root from official site and was without results.
The tool that worked for me was Shaume (shuame.com/en/root/).
It's a chinese based website which is probably one of the reasons.
After rooting it installed King User (basically SuperSU) and Cleaner Master.
PS: It might say that it failed to root but it worked.

Just picked up at Best Buy for $39 a Digiland DL718M tablet. It has lillipop 5.1 on it. I read the threads on the 10 inch digiland tablet and tried everything there that seemed relevant. This included iroot, v root, and kingo. None worked and Kingo bricked the thing on a second attempt. Luckily I was with in the 15 days at best buy so I just returned it saying it failed in a software update (which it did....) With the "new" new tablet I did not do the OTA update and tried kingo and iroot out of the box. Both failed. Anyone been able to root this puppy yet? I sure am getting no where fast. (did activate USB debug for all attempts). Tried PC and onboard software. Nothing is working.....

Hi fourtwentybuddy,
Did it work for you ??? The site seems to be suspicious so I can't open it. I'm looking for root for this device too.
It did not work...the site downloaded the app just fine however the biggest issue has been getting the device recognized by adb. I've tried 2 different adb drivers and neither of those made the device not have the exclamation point in Device Manager.
*update*
the latest Kingo Root application for windows had the proper adb drivers for this device. However none of the common rooting apps i tried were successful KingRoot Kingo Root SRSRoot. Ill try iRoot RootGenius & MobileGo this week but im doubtful.

Ahhhhh! Sad to hear that. I guess I will wait until some root comes up, then I will get one of these tablets.
I spent the $50 and for that alone it is not that bad of a tablet...as far as feeding my itch to tinker with things - I should have applied that $50 towards a nexus 7

I've already had an Acer B1-810, which i just sent back to repair the bootloop (sshhhh don't tell anyone), yet I still want to buy this one to tinker and test how long it's gonna last. I just think it's better to wait for a root so i can disable background app and boost it a little bit. Small question: Does it have many bloatwares ?
None at all actually
Any news on people being able to root this? I have had no luck so far.
what I've learned so far
from power off, holding down volume down and power button boot into a menu in Chinese.
the top item is a system test
the second item displays test results
the long item is some sort of debug menu
the item below that clears/wipes personal data to factory reset(useful if you forget your lock code)
the bottom item reboots to normal operation
the volume down button navigates the menu, the power button selects choices, and the volume up button acts as a go back button in sub menus.

the OEM Android version is nearly stock I did the update and am at 5.1
the developer options is missing the unlock rom option, which is the easiest way to get to root.
these universal adb drivers seem to work
github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
as does this fastboot:
code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/detail?name=fastboot-win32.zip&can=2&q=
the fastboot menu is in English, which is nice, but the partitions are write locked, and I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.
and I recommend the ap ' volume in notification ' to solve lolipops refusal to actually change the volume!
So, no one has figured out how to do this root yet? I'm dying to know and I would like it rooted. I've tried every method, even the PC ones. iRoot does not work like I hoped it would :/
getting closer
so it dawned on me i can use adb to reboot into recovery mode, which i did and is in english!
i then tried to sideload, and it told me i had to use adb version 1.0.32 or newer, quick download, and unrar later into the same directory i overwrote my old adb files.
from there i used adb reboot recovery to open the stock android recovery, it provided a dead android robot with his chest open, tapping the power button and volume up at the same time took me into the recovery menu.
i was unable to apply a zip file update superuser.zip either from the adb sideload, or from the sdcard.
it said installation aborted.
got the same response with an .img file with clockwork mod recovery
also same message when trying to use sideload to load superuser apk file
the fastboot that comes with the xda copy of adb 1.0.32 didnt seem to work at all, so went back to previous version of fastboot, mentioned in an earlier post.

Lol, I installed the ADB files and I bricked my Tablet. This doesn't even matter now xD It just keeps restarting
Anyone find a working root yet I'm looking for one and I don't want to try anything with out being sure
tablet on sale again
this tablet is on sale again at best buy online. $36.99 for 2 colors, a really great buy.
I too own this, have tried towel root and kingroot but (of course) no root. This seems to be a "popular" device and for the price is an excellent choice to tinker with. My main reason for needing this root is so i can use my sd card to provide some extra ram. Eventually I plan to use this tablet as an UI for my home automation setup but i need root first.
If someone can figure out how to root a $800 samsung device, surely this $50 china tablet shouldn't be an issue.
Maybe we should all donate $5.00 to a root developer, so they can buy this device and root it for us and him/her self.
We get root, they get a free device. Its a win win.
Kingroot 4.8.1 rooted this device for me this morning

Tried Kingroot 4.8.5 and it didn't work.
I can't seem to root this thing. I've tried many onclick roots. You cant use the phone from 10 minutes without the phone going koo-coo. I want to load some random ROM and hope it works. I can't load the ROM without first rooting the machine and using cwm recovery or something. So I think......
Tried TowelRoot on the phone..Tried iroot on my pc etc. I've gotten my self somewhat familiar with adb in my cmd prompt. I'm learning just enough to be dangerous but not enough to make a difference. So far the closest thing to getting a root on this phone has been pushing some pwn and trying to run that. I did try MTK Droid Root kit but that started getting a bit to complicated to follow or they were ill written directions. Here is the nitty gritty...
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2684210
All was going well. But when I ran nautilus in Linux it did not see the phone anywhere. therefore I couldn't move any files.
Then I ended up getting to something similar but pushing some code named psneuter to the phone and another one called pwn. pwn started but then said failed in the cmd prompt.
I rarely give up on something like this but I can't so I'm writing here. Should I persue the MTK Droid Root kit or does someone have something I should try.

I'm not sure if this will be much help, but...
I recently purchased an XGODY model G300 off eBay, from "eternaldealer". Not sure how much it differs from the X200. Anyway, as received, this phone had pop-up ads and banners. The phone was not really usable. But, a scan using Malwarebytes found three malware apps, "Flashlight", "BeautyMakeup", and "Fun Weather". I did a factory reset and then disabled those three apps. (I cannot uninstall them... yet.) With those three apps disabled, the phone works just fine. You said that your X200 phone goes koo-koo after about 10 minutes? That is sort of what I was seeing before I disabled those apps. So, unless you have already done so, you might consider doing a scan of your phone using Malwarebytes, and maybe a few other malware-related apps from the Play Store. Or, just going into your phone apps list and disable any that don't look absolutely necessary.
As for me, I do want to root my G300, but only to do minor tweaks (e.g. shut off the startup/shutdown sound).
Good luck!

Assuming this thread is still relevant;
A couple years ago I rooted my girlfriend's XGODY X200. You'll lose all of your settings and apps with the method I used, but if it's worth it you could try this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/xgody-x200-t3347444
Kingroot works with xgody g200 android 5.1.
After the fifth attempt
