Hi there.
I tried for hours to root my Padfone S (PF500KL) after installing the FW-Update with Android 6.0.1.
Towelroot, KinRoot, KingoRoot etc, nothing worked.
Also, I was not able to install TRWP because of the blocked bootloader.
Is there anyone with a how-to for rooting the PF S or unlock the bootloader?
Thank you!
Guide to root the Padfone S (Android Marshmallow 6.0.1)
Meanwhile I did it.
Here's the guide to success.
What you need:
- Minimal ADB and Fastboot (get it here) Thread on XDA
- TWRP 2.8.7.8. (get it here)
- SuperSU root (get it here)
Copy the TWRP-file to the Minimal-ADB-directory and the SuperSU-zip to the main-directory of the Padfone.
If there's one, deinstall the SuperSU-App from your phone.
1. Flash TWRP
Go to fastboot-mode (press vol up + power on for about 10sec)
Start ADB, connect your Phone and use the command fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.8_v5.img
You will get an error-message such as "FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image)", but nevertheless it worked.
Go to recovery-mode (vol down + power on for about 3 sec) choose recovery to start TWRP.
2. Flash the Super SU
Tap "install", choose the SuperSU-file and start the installation.
Read carefully the note at the end of the installation.
Reboot without installing SuperSU from TWRP again.
Maybe you have to update the binaries in the SuperSU-App.
Well, it's done.
(Thanks to ninekw9s guide for the inspiration.)
Hi guys,
anyone know how to root this phone?
root on Cubot Cheetah 2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...bot-cheetah2-information-reviews-5-5-t3509666
I flashed TWRP, attachted as rar file. I did it like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-clones-t3421539
Did you know that devices has build in recovery menu?!
It can only backup some user data for you
You can get into by pressing POWER and Volume+ for a few sec. while turned of tile boot.
Hold Volume + and press Power again.
***Do not press Volume down, it is "enter" in first recovery screen you maybe start fastboot or normal
***Volume + is for navigate in first recovery screen
Do not flash other super user as in thread... i did and had a heavy bootloop (;
hello
i cooked my 1st rom for a Cubot like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690.
Then i flashed it with the recovery. As installation stoped i got a message: "no os installed do you realy like to reboot?!"
So i cancel process to restore systemfiles which i backed up befor. *
But now all system app are gone and recover them with Titanium backup doesn´t work well. I also got those files from stock image and maybe most by another backup by root explorer. What to do right now?
Try to install my rom again? Via fastboot? Or flashing a clean stockrom i don´t know.
I´m uploading Cheetah 2 rom i cooked since hours, it is ~2gb
Maybe someone can look into it
My pc is to slow to run a emulator to test it. That´s why i try flashing befor posting download link dang

Thanks, but it didn't work for me...
Any other?
Do you use same firmware as me? That very importat!
What doesn´t work for you?
Are you in develop mode, enable debugging or connected as android bridge?
I flashed today TWRP to another Cheetah 2! But this super user installation blow my mind and device!!! Installed chainfire (2.52) as in linked thread made my phone hang on cubot bootlogo. Then i downloaded SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip and i pass the boot but now all system apps are gone again! Recovered it with my TWRP backup.
Thinking about retry 2.72 SuperSu which maybe was reason of bootloop on 1st cubot rooting :fingers-crossed:
Keep in mind to backup your whole system if you enter TWRP 1st time, befor installing SuperSu. Suggesting befor install TWRP make backup with stock recovery!
Maybe a video i made on that 2nd rooting procedure is helpful to you?

I have cubot cheetah (1st edition). I Installed twrp, but it doesn't work. Touch doesn't work. Everything you posted, it's for 2nd edition.

I´m pretty sure boot into recovery is same as on Cheetah 2. I also believe you still not unlocked bootloader!
I Installed twrp, but it doesn't work. a) you did not Touch doesn't work. b) bootloader and stock recovery navigation via hardwarebutton TWRP via Touch

Do a websearch: "unlock bootloader adb" example
It is basicly same step as in ultimate MT6753 thread url = see me 1st reply
You just need fastboot.exe and your Cheetah running as adb device to install TWRP.
Make sure you got it installed Cheetah via ADB driver not as MTP device or else!
TWRP is same on cheetah 1 & 2 not 100% sure, maybe ask megathebest .
Alternative method:
adb.exe to unlock and
Sp flashtool with vCOM-driver installed

Another method to install TWRP is via update.zip but if you have to unlock oem via adb (minimal adb fastboot.exe) why manuel flash it.
How:
Rename twrp.zip to XXX-stock-rom name-XXX.zip place it at you internal memory boot into fastboot by power and volume button.
Ya, there are loads of tutorial on the internet about TWRP 3.1.1 For Cheetah 2 which means root is possible for the device running the latest Android OS.
Here is a guide which has shared the latest TWRP 3.1.1 with rooting guide

i had the same problem but was very easy coming out. just connect the otg cable to your phone since the handset supports otg functionality then use the pc mouse once you have rebooted into recovery mode. works swiftly!!!!
Hi everyone
I have been trying to root my cubot rainbow with no success, I have trier every way possible on which I will list.
King root - apk and PC version
Kingo root - apk and PC version
Iroot - apk and PC version
Towel root - didn't Evan let me open this app
Root genius - apk and PC version
Then I tried custom recovery, I got the tools of needrom and I got to it I did everything right I -
Unlocked my boot loader (I think) as once I accepted to unlock it there was no way to check if it actually was unlocked because everytime I did "fastboot OEM device-info" it returned something like "Failed(no controller)" < something like this anyway so with me not really knowing if IRA unlocked or not I went onto the next step.
With the scatter file and recovery.IMG to hand I opened up sp flash tools and then tried to flash the recovery. It then told me everything went okay and it was done. But when I boot to recovery it's still at stock.
I then tryed flashing with fastboot and same thing happens it tells me its all okay but its actually still stock
This leads to is my bootloader acc unlocked then? (I did try multiple times and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers)
So anyway is there any way to root my phone?
Instruction here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=741031&st=1000#entry54800941
but on russian
Thank you for your reply I have had a look and from what I can understand it looks positive, but.... I can't find the instructions or translate them properly for the actually rooting
Here google translate of first post, bold below it is what you need:
1. Fully comply with the instructions for the firmware of custom recovery
2. Download and put in the root of the SD card archive SuperSU
3. Turn off the smartphone, hold down the + volume and power buttons simultaneously, select "Recovery Mode"
4. Select "Installation" and select the previously downloaded archive.
5. Reboot the phone.
After enabling, Root-rights and SuperSU will appear.

TWRP for sc7731c hope it helps
hi all a have a sc7731c phone on android 6.0 and i was able to install twrp on my device
it all started when i found a stock rom on the web (Google your device for stock - rom or - firmware)
once i had the rom i started searching for a way to extract the stock recovery from the rom
and i found this tool SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001 using this tool i extracted my stock
recovery from the ROM ( recovery.img ) , first stage complete i had a stock recovery
taken from a rom for my phone - brand and model must be right on the stock
firmware/rom or you risk damaging your phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:when you unpack the firmware/rom you should get a .pac file
ps:finding my stock rom took me several days of search.
now for STAGE 2 i had a stock recovery a needed to change it
for twrp another few days of search i came across a site
called hovatek here i found a tool to port (change) the
stock recovery to boot the twrp recovery the tool name is
[Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.0 by Team Hovatek (x86)
i PORT my stock recovery with this tool the tool creates a modified recovery on the
output folder( a few kb bigger ) stage 2 done.
STAGE 3
1- a fully working ADB, for this your best option is android-studio
2-turn on USB debuging and OEM unlock in DEV options
3-name the new recovery file recovery.img
4- place the new ported recovery.img in the adb
installation folder ( c:\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools )
5-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
6-if ADB is properly installed and Windows has the correct android device
driver you should be able to use these commands using android-studio's ADB
command- adb devices
-if the device is detected a serial number apears
command- adb reboot bootloader
-the device reboots to a black screen with small white letters saying FASTBOOT mode
command- fastboot devices
-the device displays the serial number again
command- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- if all went well it will say successful
command- fastboot reboot
-dont remenber if it booted straight to twrp or if i had to use power + volume up
-by the way on my phone to get in the default recover its 1 second hold power
and then with the power pressed for 1 sec add volume up 3 sec and let go of both
any way it worked i hope it helps ppl with these sc7731c phones
i have twrp 3.0.0 fully working (My Model - Selecline/Auchan s6s4in3g)
tips: youtube vídeos on how to use SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
the hovatek site has a great tutorial on how to use the recovery porter tool
the last part the ADB commands was a ***** as Windows did not install my device
correctly and this is crucial -install phone driver manualy/Google device/Google android device. good luck
ps: all merit goes to the developers of these tools, a great ty to them
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed by the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
Here is a Ready twrp 3.1.1-0 recovery for SELECLINE/AUCHAN S6S4IN3G

its awsome when one understands it and can do it himself, enjoy your root :good:
In the Hovatek application, you can cheat your TWRP version. I don't know if it's working on other devices instead of using a lollipop version you can use Marshmallow version.

Thanks so much man, I've been pulling my hair trying to figure how to root this thing. You're the best. Do you know if there are any roms for it? maybe ported?
Thank you so much man, I can confirm this works with myphone a5!!!!
A different phone but same chip.
i have no image in the recovery, butyou can access it by adb anyway following this thread:
i have magisk now time to unninstall gapps!!!!
fastboot doesn't work to me anyway, I don't know why but it is the truth. may u can help me?
So many thanks for you work! I'd use your TWRP as base and ported it to the Wiko Sunny 2. The only problem is that touch input doesn't work well, it receives touches all the time.
I have an E504 with android 8.1.0 go edition, I accidentally deleted family photos and I need to recover them, for that I need to root the cell phone, you can do it or do you know how I can do it or who does it?

1. Flash TWRP what is at 100% suitable to your phone
2. Download SuperSU
3. Flash SuperSU by means of TWRP
0
Doing this quick update because today, when trying to root my phone, bricked it several times and lost all app info
If you are using android 7.11, this guide works fine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/how-to-root-zenfone-3-zoom-ze553kl-t3622256
If on android 8, SuperSU will brick your phone. Use Magisk instead:
- enable usb debug mode on your phone
- unlock bootloader
- plug phone into your computer
on your pc
- Download fastboot and adb:
* Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
* macos: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
* linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
- download the latest Magisk unlock script from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and copy it to a MicroSD or USB that you can attach to your phone. Look for Magisk, not Magisk Manager
- download twrp v 3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w?E81jQTCD (this is from https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w, as described in the old root guide using twrp + supersu. It is supposed to be safe)
- `adb reboot bootloader`
- `fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp image downloaded>`
- `fastboot reboot`
Right now, you should probably backup your phone.
back on your phone:
- before booting, press volume up on the bootloader, there, select Recovery. Using fastboot to reboot into recovery might cause the stock recovery image to reflash
- if prompted to enable system modifications, allow it.
- If prompted to decrypt your data in TWRP, use the PIN you setup. If it doesn't work, I can't guarantee you won't brick our phone. Feeling brave enough? In case of brick keep reading, it is easy to restore your phone to stock Android 8 using official firmware.
- press install, choose the device attached to your phone that has Magisk-xxx.zip and select it
- flash the image and it should be OK
In case of brick or unsuccessful flash from SuperSU and without backup:
- Don't panic, like I did today
- download the latest firmware from Asus: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
- follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
- when the phone reboots, boot into recovery
- enable ADB sideload
- on your pc: `adb sideload <path to newest firmare>`
- now follow the root guide above before starting your phone
- ???
- profit
Note: commands using adb and fastboot assume you have put the contents from the downloaded platform tools in your PATH, else execute them from the directory in which they were extracted, for instance, on linux:
- `cd /home/$USER/Downloads`
- `unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip`
- `cd platform-tools`
- `./adb devices`
Bricked my phone.
in which step?
You should have access to fastboot, try the downgrade tutorial and install android 7 then imediately flash the latest image from ASUS

After the magisk install. It logged some "can't mount partition" errors, I tried to wipe, but do not worked.
It got stucked on Asus logo.
I did the unbrick tutorial.
This is strange. Magisk is supposed to patch the boot image and install its app (by the way, if you update magisk using the app, phone enters bootloop)
Anyway, I have encountered myself many problems when installing, but nothing like this. Bootloops and corruption message on bootloader yes, but I can't seem to recall anything about partitions not being mounted. If installing stock recovery image, boot image and system doesn't do the trick, in my experience it is either bad partitioning, although unlikely, because those procedures doesn't repartition anything, or bad internal storage.
But just to be sure, you should reflash stock 7.1 image (recovery, boot and system) with fastboot, enter stock recovery and wipe cache/factory reset. If your phone is physically healthy, this should work

I can't really help you there. This guide is supposed to work for those who are able to unlock bootloader using official asus tools. Never heard of unofficial unlock methods. It is possible that you have a hardware problem if you use those tools and they just don't work.

Have you used the latest official unlocking tool? I see there's a July 2019 version available.
If you are on an older version of Android (not Oreo) are you presently still getting OTA update prompts?
I tried this tool but no result.
is it possible to root ZE553KL without loosing user application's data? I have unrooted device, wanted to migrate telegram secret chats to new phone. it is doable but with rooted smartphone only. if rooting process is destructive I cannot migrate. if rooting is doable with preserving installed applications along with their data then there is a hope for successful migration.
does this method look promising or it is just fake method?
