[Q] Fail to root THL W100S - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
We recentlly bought THL W100S.
The Phone is not rooted and the android installed suffers from some bugs that is see alerts is chines.
I want to root the device and install a normal ROM.
I tried "Framaroot" - only the third option worked for root, it installed supersu, but the phone doesn't have a root access and when I open the supersu it tells me that the software need to be upgraded and when I approve the upgrade fails.
I tried using Vroot - same.
I tried using the cynagonmod installer - It told me the device is not supported.
Is there any other way I can root my device?
I really don't like the original ROM\
Thanks,
Rotem

Hi
I know that it as passed a month but if you still need help try this:
You can try this method (use google translate if you don't know to read it):http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/root-recovery-thl-w100s.51860/ - I know of many people that have used this and it worked but not for me. So I searched for it and I found this: http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
I managed to make it work and root my THL W100s.
Beware of this:
- The program will recognise your as HTC (for me Dream but there as been reports of other models).
- You have to install the adb drivers: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
- Downloading and navigating from the website was extremely slow for me. I believe it is normal.
- The phone will reboot my itself a couple of times. It is normal and don't touch the phone unless it prompts you something.
After the program does what's suppose to do, download SuperSU from chainfire (here on xda) to give SuperSU options and permissions.
Check if the root is done properly using an app like RootChecker
If you want to, you can also use the CWM custom recovery found in the first link. Install it after you root the phone.
Also you can use MTKDroidTools to root, backup and install a custom recovery. You can find all type of tutorials here: http://www.china-devices.com/
I hope I could help you.
Cheers

Does anybody knows how to root leagoo lead 2?

Hi people, anyone know how to root leagoo lead 2? This phone uses MTK6582 chipset, rom version is 4.4.2. I tryed root with root genius but it failed, it said that my phone is too tough to root (sorry bad english)
good question
im also looking to root my lead 2 usual tools dont seem to do the trick
Rooting is actually the first and easiest step to begin your journey on android developing, if you can't root, you won't succeed in android development. Don't worry, I will help you with root.
To root your device, I highly recommend Kongo android root(PC), it not only covers a really great amount of device, but is also able to unroot your device, all it takes is just a click after you plugged your device into the PC. Or if you don't want to use the PC, you can install an app that will help. It is called vroot, it is Chinese, so it might be a little hard for you to understand.
Kongo is not working. Stucks at waiting for device. waited about 1 hour and still stucked.
Re
Hi, try KingRoot works for me its chinese app.you can download from website kingroot.net place apk file on your Phone and install then you can root your device very easy
Thanks for the help. APK worked very well .
Is it safe to use this chinese root app
Chrome was warning about a "Possible Dangerous Download File", but I still downloaded it and scanned for viruses.
This is the APK virus scan report : apkscan (dot) nviso (dot) be/report/show/c4340bc2d1322e514e025430dc9c5d7c
I'm not an expert but i recon the antivirus picked it up only because there is lots of low level scripts that root your device i guess (cmdline files?)... and the hard-coded URL's listed in the scan point to few sites: Android.com , QQ.com, kingroot.net, ibutian.com, and non of them seem to be a malware websites.
Anyway let me know if it's all-right to use this APK and root my Leagoo Lead 2
You can use that apk. its safe and worked for me very well.
Tested now with kingroot but unable to root it.
Seems that last OTA update is the problem
Any other suggestion?
EASY DONE
Kingo root - DOESNT WORK forget it!
VROOT dont work - Forget it.
Sat back and had a think and BOOM
went to leagoo website downloaded the new V10 rom listed there.
Unzipped file, Flashed rom to phone first, only cause i wanted to update new device.
After flashing, UNPLUGGED PHONE used MTKDroid tools to flash cmw, (open droidtools, DONT PLUG PHONE IN) and go to root/backup/recovery and choose boot file, it asks to "create cmw automatically" say yes, VIOLA droidtools makes the recovery.
Then used SPFLASHTOOLS to flash cmw recovery - works great.
As i have been playing with MIUI and an Elephone P2000 had the file - UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
cant do links, so search in google "download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" and first link is the winner
booted into recovery, flashed it and have root, easy peasy

[ROOT][D605][4.4.2] Stock KitKat V20H permanent root method.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I've found a way to permanently root the latest stock KitKat ROM for our LG L9 II (D605).
Here's what I did:
Starting with fresh KDZ install of v20h (no cwm or other things necessary), you need to be on Dalvik (default). (It should work up to v20h, not just on v20h btw.)
Two important steps before proceeding: Settings/Security -> Enable 'Unkown Sources' and Disable 'Verify Apps'!
1) Download and install KingRoot, use it to root the phone (might restart, after it boots, just start the app again). Make sure you're on WiFi while running Kingroot.
2) Download and install SuperSU Me Free app, use it to delete KingUser and switch to SuperSu. Make sure to give the app root permissions.
At this point you're fully rooted with working SuperSU, although you will lose it at restart. If you just need 'temproot' to delete some stuff, go ahead, you're done.
To finalize root:
3) Put this file to the '/cache' folder. Root is required to do this step. Do it with Total Commander or some other file manager app (give it root permissions).
4) Download and install Reini Reboot from Play Store. Start the app, give it root permissions. Click 'Restart to Recovery'. Phone restarts.
5) Welcome to your stock system recovery. (Go up or down with volume keys and select with power key.)
Navigate to 'Apply update from cache', where you will find the root_v2b.zip file you put there. Click on it, it installs, then select 'reboot system now'.
You are now fully rooted, that's permanent.
(Might have to update the SU binary right after, and another time after you update SuperSU in Play Store.)
Feel free to hit 'thanks' if it helped.
Hi!
I just wanna say thanks for this easy described method of rooting my beloved LG Optimus L9 II. I tried this method about 30 minutes ago and so far so good. I appreciate your easy description of going about this method and I also appreciate that you either attached or linked all the tools that you need for this rooting. I hope that more people discoveres this method. I do hope that you know how much I really appreciate this. A BIG thanks from me!
i have cmw recovery, no Apply update from cache option. Any solution?

Yes. Do this after step 2)
3) Download this file and put in on your phone (anywhere).
4) Enter CWM and flash the root_v2b.zip file with CWM.
Thanks, it works like a charm. Point 4 can be done by just using "adb reboot recovery" though.
Work on v20g?

Thanks for the feedback. It's easier (noob-proof) this way though. But you're right
@Famenz: I think it should work up to v20H, but feel free to try.
D60520d-260-06 - OK
It worked for D60520d-260-06, brand Play.
I am using an older version of KingRoot-4.0.0.233-release-201505071219_105001.apk
Official XDA website SuperSU Me.
Please follow there thanks to @gatesjunior.

Installing the application does not require resetting the device.
root_v2b.zip is not compatible with V20H, gives me "E:footer is wrong" and cancels
Some questions.
- Why supersu me doesnt keep the root ?
- Can't I skip the step 2 and install supersume at the end ?
- Cant we just spy what method king root uses to root and make a root for us ?
- I havent tryed framaroot casue its too wierd that it ask for photocamera access permission... does it work ?
P.S. I just noticed that kingroot could be chinese ? (I see asian chars) And you know that chinese puts spyware everywhere !
(Ok, android it self is a spyware)
P.P.S. King root and framaroot doesnt work for me ! ( vodafone 20g )

You probably haven't noticed this, but the D605 has been abandoned way before even the P71x, and that was kept alive up until somewhere in 2016. It's quite safe to assume your questions will probably never find answers here.
About the spywhere, every piece of electronics is spying on you. If you want privacy, go live in the mountains.
literally there's no file to put on the phone because media fire is gone...

Rooting Astro TAB

Trying to root an Astrotab but I'm not able to connect the device with usb debugging because I don't have the correct USB drivers on my windows 10 machine. After scouring the web I've been unable to find any in existence and hopefully someone here has been able to do so or knows of some workaround. I'm new to rooting and I am using an application called oneclickroot , I don't know if this is the best method but the software isn't recognizing the device due to lack of drivers. Here are my device specifications below
Model A935
Android version 5.1.1
Firmware Version v3.3rc5
Kernel Version 3.4.39 [email protected] #9
Build Number A33_U92C_U992HB2C_1510077.20151228
root apk
try to get some rooting apk on tablet, and try to root with that
Which do you recommend? I heard that kingroot leaves behind alot of bloatware that is hard to get rid of
UPDATE
Still not able to locate any ADB drivers for windows 10 on this device. Tried non pc apk's Kingroot , Towelroot/Iroot. Still no success , any help would be appreciated.
Working...
After 4-5 grueling hours finally got it working! How do i know if this is temporary or permanent root? I used root checker and it says it is properly installed on this device. Only thing there seems to be alot of bloatware on my device now. How do I tell what is safe to remove? Some crap called one click , app cool , etc was removed and I lost root access. Re-did process and got root again but still have the same chinese applications present on my device. App Cool , King root , superUser.. My question is do I have to deal with having them on my device , or is there a safe way to remove them without losing root?

Remove all except Superuser because it is main root aplication

Can you explain how you got it to root properly? I tried king root application on windows 10 but I couldn't get it to root. It's all in Chinese, as well.
I easily rooted this tablet with KingRoot then used the KingRoot to SuperSU script to get KingRoot replaced. But mainly I'm commenting because I just wanted any tablet owners to know that I have the stock firmware and flashing tools (windows) that u can use to get the tablet back to stock or save yourself from a bootloop ( I can confirm this because I bricked mine using substratum lol) Also I can confirm that marshmallow will b an option sometime during Q1 of 2017 as quoted from insipira.
Sort of....
The Marshmallow update will only work on A10 tablets manufactured after October 1, 2016 (according to the folks at Inspira) Unfortunately, it will give you a white screen and nothing more on older versions of the hardware - I know. I have one. I tried. It doesn't work. Save yourself the frustration. The biggest pain with the A10 is that the bootloader is locked and attempts to unlock it are a waste of your time. If you brute force KingoRoot on it, it will not survive a reboot because of the unlockable bootloader. The vendor is unable (or more likely unwilling) to provide an unlocking code which tells me future tablet business for self and clients will have to go elsewhere. PITY - it is a really nice little unit but not worth calling in the NSA to try to root it. Oh well, lots of other inexpensive Android Tablet vendors out there.

Can you explain how you were able to unlock the bootloader?
I have the same device and I've been unable to unlock the bootloader. I can get ADB working, boot into recovery just fine, but I can't figure out how to boot into the bootloader, whenever I try to (either using the adb command to reboot into bootloader or using recovery itself) it just shows the "Astro Tab" logo and gets stuck like that forever. I made sure to enable the option about allowing OEM bootloader unlock in the "Developer Settings" window.

Can you explain how you were able to use KingRoot to root this? I downloaded the apk from http://kingroot.net, installed it, and clicked the "Try Root" option, but it got stuck on the "Acquiring Root" step after a few minutes and completely crashed.
Here is a picture of where it got stuck: https://i.imgur.com/L4Pxtjn.jpg I couldn't even screenshot since system was frozen, and even connecting via ADB didn't work at this point. The reason I noticed that the device froze was because the clock did not update (it was around 8:30 when I took the picture, not 8:16 as shown).
I'm also having an issue unlocking the bootloader -- I can't even get to the bootloader (see my earlier post for details) but that's a whole different issue.

A pain to root: cheap allwinner a33 tablet (Please help me!)

Hello, there!
The precious thing is a cheap 7" allwinner a33 tablet. By apps its recognized as Astar y33.
It is a 16Gb Storage Tablet with 1 gb ram. I bought ist for 42€. :cyclops:
Unluckily i only can install apps on a 1 gb internal storage and the 16gb are only for media or movable apps. It should have 1gb ram but Aida64 said it has 512 installed.
I urgently need to give root to it, to make it work -and enjoyable. I allready tried out:
-Kingoroot (also via PC)
-Kingroot
-Iroot
-Towelroot
-SuperOneClick.exe
-and various desktop based one click rooters
and all failed.
I dont know what i can try next.
I have the ADB driver, but not a certain fastboot interface driver, which i could not find in the internet at all. I have a 64 system.
Many people with similar tablets could root them with Kingo root or Iroot, but it worked not for me and my tablet must be somehow different, it also did not had any bloat or malware on it.
Please, please, give me a hint what i could try next. :silly:
These are the specifications of the tablet:

Root method for recovery
Good afternoon!
To apply the patch-and for rooting you device, it is necessary to get into Recovery.
So try to load into recovery by this way: "Settings-> Recovery and reset-> Recovery Mode".
After rebooting, you see some menu where you should select drive(sd card) on which the pre-recorded file "Update.zip"
After finishing, restart your device use first point of menu.
Now you have a root, it is necessary to update the SuperSu by selecting "OK".
P.S.
I didn't test it but find it on some good forums. Send privet massage to me if you have some questions.
Root_patch
Good evening!
I tried it out right now.
It was flashable but the su binary wont let me update. How should i update the su binary? Do i need another flashable zip?
Unluckily the root checker says that root permission is not granted yet.
Update: I flashed a current Supersu update.zip with my stock recovery mode.
It says "installtion abortet".
I dunno. I ll have to use the tablet to cut vegetables. *joke
Wow, seems like suddenly root was granted.
Last thing was: I tried to root it with Iroot via PC.
It installed some adware on the tablet but the root checker still said no.
Then Kinguser detected some malware in the notification are. I fixed this and noticed that i also could remove system apps with Kinguser.
Then i retried apps that recommed root like rashr and to my surprise - root was granted suddenly!!!
:laugh:
Woah! Somehow im not so sure what rooted it now, because i already tried everything five times before already and it didnt work ^^
I think, it could be this:
Kingroot has shown me before, that my device is not supported. I could kinda request compatibility, which i did.
Maybe this magic happend unnoticed and suddenly it was rooted.
Oh ****.
Afterwards i flashed some recovery.img someone told me its for TWRP for the tablet.
Since then, its in a bootloop.
How to fix this? For now, i will just wait until the battery has run empty. (That fixed beeing stuck in fastboot mode before)
THANKS!!!

Hey dude, you are awesome! I could not find anywhere this file. At last my tablet is rooted. I have been looking for firmwares for these tablets everywhere and, as they are really old and chinese crap now, all mirrors I find are down. Where did you find this zip? maybe I can find a firmware there. I need to flash it from 0 because I did a mess with adb and deleted every system app
Hello everyone
do you have an update.zip SuperSU-v2.82
Best Regards
Great !

Manual ROOT - without custom recovery

Hello!
I bought for my wife a Huawei Y5II phone (CUN -L21...B115). And I try to root, so that I can mount some folders on the external SD card:
1. I tried every application like KingRoot, KingoRoot, One click root, framaroot, SRS Root etc... but none of them worked.
2. There is no custom recovery for my model and software number
3. I have unlocked bootloader
Important info: I am a programmer (in VB.NET) but also I don't know very deep aspects of Android, so that I can write code by myself.
Is there anyway of manually putting binaries into their respective places? through adb and fastboot?
Or can I get an OTA update and modify it to include Super SU?
According to https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...-file-t3238991 , it might be possible to manually install the su binary. But I tried "adb root" and nothing happened.
P.S. believe me that I have searched a lot on XDA adn also on internet , but no luck...
Thank you
I watch both of them... On one I already commented.
KingRoot doesn't work (for me and for others. Also stated in original post)
And the custom recovery also doesn't work.
Thank you.. Tried with 5 recoveries.. Doesn't work...
you've been able to install recovery?
