Hello all,
I have her a ZTE Z9 Mini, but it came without any google application.
So my question is, what is the best way to install google services like playstore/contact sync / youtube and other google apps on my ZTE Z9 MINI?
Because its a brand new phone, there are no tutorials on how to roo/flash this phone.
And using Google Installer from XIAOMI doesent work as well - Getting a message unfortunaly appl closed or cannot connect with google servers bla bla that piece of ****.
Even if i use seperated apk's from APKMIRROR the same messages apear!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

google "gapps CM" (without ")and click on the first link. it leads to the cyanogen mod wiki but thats universally gapps.
everything is written there but ill write it here too. you need a custom recovery for that. (if you dont have one just google it, its pretty easy)
Note: All operations are a reference for other users of the god Scrapped out, but to see so many replies, know we are still in dire straits, especially update it, write some detailed steps.
1, the first root, thank silent star of the original paste [software tutorials] Z9mini a key tool ROOT: http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-442041-1-1.html

this is tutorial from Nubia board
This may help you.
But first, root your device like in post #2.
Could somebody rewrite the tutorial in good english, please?
Z9 Mini just got delivered
Has anyone managed to get Google services/Play Store etc installed and running yet?
OK, I have done it, it's about as simple as it gets.
Install TWRP
Flash the root package/SuperSU from TWRP (even though it's in Chinese, the buttons are in the same place as if it were in english, so easy to work out where "Install" is!
Flash gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip
Reboot
Add your google account details in accounts, fire up Play Store and let it update everything - job done.
Remove SuperSU if you want to use banking apps etc.

Which TWRP do you used?
Used Chrome, so google translate did the hard part.
I downloaded MoboRobo, so the laptop picked up the phone and installed the correct drivers
TWRP:-
won't let me post the link - I've not made enough posts apparently
Once the phone is seen by the computer (thanks to moborobo), extract the zip file and run the batch file within it as administrator.
ROOT:-
won't let me post the link - I've not made enough posts apparently
Download the package and copy the zipfile either to the internal memory, or bung it on a microSD and shove it into the phone.
In TWRP (accessed by powering off the phone, then on again whilst holding Volume +) press the top left "button" which if in English would be "Install", select the zip file and drag the swipe to the right to start it. Then it's the bottom right big button to reboot.
GAPPS (same procedure as applying root, just pick the correct ZIP):-
won't let me post the link - I've not made enough posts apparently
Then job is a good-un!
Does that help?

TWRP 2.8.6.0 in English
For easier handling I translated the Recovery into English - some words might not be that accurate, but the meaning behind it should be ok to understand all buttons
Boot into fastboot mode and use "fastboot -i 0x19d2 boot recovery_Z9mini.img" to test the recovery without installing it. Doing so I installed the gapps package without loosing the OTA update feature.
See download in the attachment and let me know if there is any problem!

The following way worked for me. There are also other ways to do it, e.g. via ADB.
* First of all you have to install the correct USB-drivers for your phone
* Enable USB debugging
* Download the platform tools (or whatever they are called in different forums) => adb.exe & fastboot.exe plus a few other data, which are usually all in the same package
* Reboot into bootloader
* Connect your phone to USB
* Open a command prompt
* If you only want to test the custom recovery use "fastboot -i 0x19d2 boot <image.img>" (depending on your Android version you may leave the word recovery away)
* If you want to directly flash the custom recovery use "fastboot -i 0x19d2 flash recovery <image.img>"
Another way is:
* Download the Chinese one-click-tool package from post 3 or 4 above
* Extract its contents
* Replace the original image file with my image file
* Run the one-click-tool and flash the recovery

Can i do this without ROOT, or do I have to root the device first?
In case I have to root it first, how to do it? And how to Reboot into bootloader?
Im just a beginner and would need it step by step.
Thank you!!!!!!
I also translated the Chinese one-click tool. You can download it from Zippyshare. Extract that file in one folder and start "ThemePush.bat". You will get the attached menu to install drivers, root your device and try or install TWRP.

I am new to Android. Been doing much reading lately regarding the Honor and have not found a solution to root my phone or install custom ROMs. I am looking at installing MIUI ROMs.
I have a similar problem. I flashed my ROM to the latest Huawei one. Now I am unable to access pink screen, nothing from USB gets mounted. And in my Recovery Mode, I kept on having "Installation Aborted" due to "Invalid signatures". Did Huawei lock my bootloader? I do not see a "Install zip from sdcard". I only have install
I am using Build Version: V100R001C1B923SPO03. Kernel version: 3.0.8.

6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552038 is a great thread which I tried to follow many steps but still did not achieve a rooted Custom ROM ICS.
/edit: I should also add: Windows does not seem to be able to install the Drivers for "Huawei Technologies" and "Unknown Device". I have Googled and none seemed to point at a solution.
I am really at a loss now because I have tried many solutions and none seems to work. I can't even get rid of the useless Chinese apps and install Google Play and get some useful applications. I think I may have screwed up quite a bit, PLEASE HELP!!!

Should be work. I had the same problem, it solved.
Please try again, then install gapps manually.
if you have any gapp that is not work well, move the APK file from DATA/APP to SYSTEM/APP folder and change the permissions of group and other to read only and then restart the device.
i'll try to search for you short movie that explain how you do it.

Thanks for replying so quickly.
I have tried your recommendation but again there's a problem. I seem to have a problem connecting to "adb server". And I do not have a custom Recovery or a rooted Andoid. The batch executable (root-me-cmd) will not run finish. It always stops at adb server.
Also, in Disk Manager, under Other Devices, there's the Android one, but it doesnt update. The computer cannot find where to download the drivers. And in Disk Manager, Android is always under Other Devices and attempts to manually on the device but it also had failed.
I am really at a loss. I am not sure how I can resolve the problems with my phone.
I thought of flashing back the original 2.3.5 GingerBread, but that requires a recovery image.
Hi,
I think you need a correct driver,
Try to install driver with this software: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=Mzk1MzA=
then run "root-me.cmd" again.
I hope you will succeed this time.

Hi kobire. Thanks for informing. I have gotten the Android USB drivers.
Good news and bad news: Using the batch script, I have rooted my Huawei Chinese build to V100R001CHNC00B923SP03. I see a Superuser app in the app drawer. To make that work, I had to install HiSuite to get the adb server settled properly.
1. I am unable to access custom recovery, i.e. "Install from zip"
2. In pink screen mode, my computer do not see any Image for recovery mounted. As a result I do not know how to install other ROMs or even roll back the ROM. I cannot progress any further. I would really like Install from zip, get back my gapps!
Attached is a screenshot of my problem in Device Manager. I have manually added them from Legacy Devices. Automatic or manual search for drivers wouldnt help much now.

My Honor /edit is confirmed be rooted though. So does that help?
/edit:
I have installed Root Explorer. I am able to navigate to the /.cust_backup folder, and have backed up the contents. I was thinking whether I could copy over the recovery image through this Root Explorer app without bricking the phone? i.e. "8. A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img"
3. Will I get a custom recovery in that case? I will not have entered pink screen mode though. Any comments?
Congratulations! You succeed to get root!
Unfortunately, in this version(B923) there is no access to change the recovery by the pink screen.
But the good news, you can manually install google account, gmail, google talk
It will work perfectly.
The only problem is google play. You must move the "com.android.vending.apk" to folder: system/app. and change the permissions of "group" and "other" in the properties to read only and then restart the device. then google play will work perfectly.
Recommended to move the other "com.google ... APK" into this folder, but it is not required.
i recommend using ES File Explorer
I have attached pictures.
I hope I helped you.
Thank you very much for your reply! Thank you also for the effort u put into uploading the pictures and posting detailed instructions on how to get Gapps working!
I have found out what is my problem. The problem lies h the phone bootloader being locked and unable to allow me access into \image folder. Thus I couldn't install CWM and Custom ROMs.
After days of trying to root my phone using the various methods shared by forumers here, I have finally rooted my phone, installed Custom Recovery, and my MIUI Custom ROM.
Would like to share the workaround. It is very simple, as pointed out by Singapore forums on the Honor. B919 (I confirm) is the only Build that allows Custom Recovery.
Detailed instructions found here:

On Huawei Honor u8860 ICS update i've been dealing with this very well since march when the first versions came up to me, but I don't know what i did wrong that i can not get it more updated. It Crashes when unpacking steps 1/2.
Very well, I've installed the latest chinese version B932 and i tried to root with the root tools for the B923 SP03 by mistake without turning debugging on.
Well after that i've tried to install many other versions even the gingerbread 2.3 and all of them crashes on the unpacking thing and I can not access anything on the pink screen as well and not installing GAPPS... i'm stuck with a chinese version.
Can you help me?
I appreciate!

it worked for my u8860 before and after the update
I just got this Huawei HUAWEI Y550-L01 for a great price and it's a massive improvement on my G300 (which actually cost me about double what I paid for the Y550 a couple of years ago!)
There doesn't seem to be any custom ROMs available for it yet but I was wondering if it's possible to just root it, as there's quite a few apps I like to use that require root?
I've e-mailed Huawei and they've sent me my bootloader unlock code but unless I can root it, there's probably not much point doing that at the moment.

Root Genius didnt work
Framaroot didnt work
Eroot didnt work
SRS One Click didnt work
Vroot didnt work
Kingoroot didnt work
For now i dont think we have root on Y550
Apart from anti virus, theres not much i need root for, but the two key things changing the dpi (because the resolution isnt good enough), and full link 2 sd (because of the lack of storage space) are kinda important
Its a pretty new phone though, pretty sure root will be around soon enough.
BTW.. can you change title to Y550 rather than 500.. help people using the search function.

Woops, yep done.
Oh well, thanks for trying.
Yeah, lack of space and inability to use link2sd was the main reason I wanted root, although there's quite a few apps I use that need it too. Apart from that though, the missing encryption feature kills it for me. I e-mailed Huawei asking why it was missing but they haven't replied!
I have filled out the email response form on a couple of the root methods asking for Y550 to be added if possible. It was only launched in October, and November for most of UK so its pretty new, but generally there is root out there for most Huawei phones.
Most apps can be moved to SD the native way using app manager or similar but its the space hogging ones like Facebook that cant be.
For those passing by this thread, make sure you set SD as default in settings>Storage and then select defaut storage location as SD
and for ref:
CPU: Qualcomm MSM8974 (think this is a misidentifiation. meant to be MSM8916) Snapdragon 800 x 4 on Elpida (Krait 400 Arm 7)
GPU: Adreno 330
Overall, on the phone its not a bad bit of kit, was bought to replace a dying Galaxy S2 and the specs are pretty much the same as the S2, more CPU but less Storage.
Negatives:
Lack of storage space, about 1.3gb at stock
Screen Resolution: Is fairly low but actually looks pretty good. Just needs the DPI dropping down a bit.
The Huwai stock launcher is pants (but easily replaced)
The Good:
Battery life at the moment seems pretty good. Using it all day, whatsapp, twitter, music player (but no games), ive not come close to having to worry about a charge
Included apps: You can actually remove the bulk of the bloatware and most of the included apps are reasonable. The backup program is functional (but let down by lack of scheduled backups), the messaging and contacts replacements are passable (but lacking merge contacts), the power management is actualy fair good with good contral of which apps are shut down to save battery and which stay open, good control of which apps are allowed to push notifications etc so that aspect of it is good.
Camera: average, but fast and functional. Good enough for snaps, but lacks obviously from only being 5mp
Mobile internet is snappy as hell
The Meh..
Not totally convinced about the settings, drop downs etc with the MIUI styling on them,

Down now to £69.99 on O2 Paygo
£1.47 on Ebay to unlock.
this phone is £49.95 on PAYG upgrade from carphonewarehouse.
The Ascend y550-L02 is now available in Australia through Vodafone PAYG for $99 AUD (including some pretty sweet extras), making it perhaps the cheapest 4g LTE option in OZ. All the standard one click root methods already mentioned don't work with this sub model either. A new root would be very appreciated! Unfortunately I'm not a developer, but I do like to reward those who are smarter than me and allow me to tweak my devices. Thanks in advance!

DISCLAIMER - THIS CWM AND ROOT METHOD IS DESIGNED FOR THE G620 - IT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PHONE BUT LIKE ANYTHING THERE ARE ALWAYS RISKS WITH INSTALLING CWM AND ROOTING YOUR PHONE. IT WORKED FOR ME, BUT I BEAR NO RESPONSIBILTY IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR YOU, BRICKS YOUR PHONE, OR TURNS YOU INTO A PUMPKIN.
Ok, rooting the Huawei Y550..
Source Credits Here and Here
Originally this is the boot image for the G620 but it has the same partition table as the Y550
Three step method - first you need your bootloader unlocked, then CWM installed, then superuser installed.
First you will need your bootloader unlocked. You can get this by emailing Huawei
to get your unlock email Huawei on [email protected]
Send them a request for bootloader unlock with the following info:
Serial Number: under battery
IMEI: under battery
Product ID: call * # * # 1357946 # * # * to get it
Model: HUAWEI Y550-L01
Once you have your code...
switch device off
boot into fastboot mode "volume down and power"
connect by usb to your PC
wait for drivers to install (just install the huawei app to get the drivers)
download and install ADB toolkit from google (or Android SDK Slim which ive attached as a zip)
open the directory adb toolkit is in, shift and right click and select open command window
type in... fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678 where the number is your unlock code
Your bootloader will now be unlocked. Source and more info
Update: Alternate way to get the unlock code Link
UPDATE - TRWP RECOVERY
We now have TWRP thanks to patrik.KT. Source
1) Download the TWRP Image file Link
2) Place the image file in the same directory as fastbook.exe from the previous step
3) Connect phone in fastbook mode
4) Check compatability by booting only initially.
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP_y550_20150130.img
5) if boots correctly go back into fastbook mode and run in the dos window
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_y550_20150130.img
CWM Recovery
Zip file download Link
Extract zip file to computer
Put phone in fastboot mode (Down volume and power button)
Connect phone to PC and run the file - install-windows.bat
This will install a CWM boot to your phone and then reboot it
Contents of zip showed up clean with McAfee

Superuser
Dowloaded superuser.zip from HERE
(Do not use Super-SU it doesnt work with stock roms)
copy superuser.zip to your SD card.
Boot into CWM (Volume up and power key)
select english language if prompted
install zip from SD card and install superuser.zip
Boom....
Phone has CWM and Root.
Only downside is parts of the CWM (notably the backup section) are in chinese
Translation for backup section is:
backup image to internal SD
restore image from internal SD
delete image from internal SD
restore image with options from internal SD
backup image to external SD
restore image from external SD
delete image from external SD
restore image with options from external SD
Note: I tested on L01 model, not tested on L02 etc.
Wonder if this will work for the Huawei Y536A1 (At&t Tribute) as it is almost the same phone as the Y550?

Well theres one way to find out.
Joking aside, I dont know, would be a risk trying it (but then me trying g620 method on my y550 was a risk)..
Hard to find specs on the Tribute but all i can find...
1.2ghz quad core - the same
screen 480 x 854 pixels, 4.5 inches - the same
internal storage looks to be the same or similar, i have 1.6 gig on my y550, ive seen 1.62 reported for the y536, but it would need the partitions to be the same.
Y536 specs Link
Y550 specs Link
Pretty much all the specs are the same, slightly different size and weight.
Would be a gamble... but if you only paid $40 from walmart not a very expensive gamble.
Word of Warning - there are various stories that AT&T dont sell phones with unlockable bootloaders or dont allow them on their network. Not sure how reliable these rumours are
No problem with the unlocked bootoader on At&t's network on my Mom's Y536... just my $.02
Nice one dimspace. It seems to have worked on my Y01, at least CWM is installed and so is SuperUser.
I'm having a bit of trouble verifying though, as I don't really want to setup my Google Account on this phone (I already spent a while before erasing the storage). I downloaded this root checker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472076 which shows
"Application Superuser found"
and then in red
"Terminal does rooted
Busybox not installed"
so do I need busybox installed to check root? If so, which of these zips should I install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44175626#post44175626
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929852
or maybe there's a newer version I need to install? Do I need to install it from CWM?
I use Jrummy Rootchecker..
You can download the apk without play store and just sideload it from SD.
use APK Downloader
just put the apps id in the box and generate download link, and you can download the apk direct.
The Jrummy rootchecker address is com.jrummyapps.rootchecker
For busybox, again just install busybox installer from play store (or download apk as above) id is com.jrummy.busybox.installer - then run it and follow the instructions to install busybox
For terminal - use terminal emulator - id is jackpal.androidterm
all three of those working fine with me and i have full root, busybox and terminal.
the busybox installer will automatically check root, and download the applicable busybox for you, terminal installs as a normal apk. but you dont NEED them as long as your root is working. some applications do need busybox, but you dont have to have terminal.

New Method to Root M4 Aqua Dual E2363 *26.1.B.1.85 Found on Locked Bootloader. Please click on new method under Root How to root 5.0 Lollipop with RootkitXperia AND CHECK HIS TWITTER FOR UPDATES
STEP BY STEP NOOB GUIDE FOR TWRP AND ROOTING
BOATLOADER
YOU CAN UNOFFICIALLY UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER HERE
You first need to unlock your bootloader before you can root your device.
@lucaszell for the amazing guide. @Sam205 for pointing it out in M4 Aqua forum
1. Go to Sony Website HERE
2. Choose M2 or M and complete the steps to get your KEY
3. Install Flashtool
4. Go to Settings - About phone - Status
Scroll to down to see serial number. (device name)
Amended for clarifications
1.: Go to the folder where Flashtool is installed. Usually C:/Flashtool
2.: Open the folder named "Custom"
3.: Open the folder named "Mydevices" (if it exists, in my case Flashtool version 0.9.18.4) (You may create if it doesnot)
3b.: In the newer Flashtool, you need to put the folder in "C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\registeredDevices" in step 3.
That is, if you've picked the default for your flashtool home folder or you can choose manually.
4.: Create A New Folder and Rename the folder with your device code. Refer to Obs2 how to find your device code
5.: Open the folder created previously
6.: Create a new text file and rename it as ulcode
7.: Paste your unlock code and save it in the text file
8.: Open Flashtools and try the BLU option again.
Obs 1: the step #3 I think it depends on your Flashtool version, because it wasn't mentioned at the solution
Obs 2: at the step #4 is mentioned your device code. your device code is showed in the log when you click the button BLU, at the "Current device", after your device model.
Search a line like:
09/045/2015 23:45:08 - INFO - Current device : C2104 - AB100C2DE3 - 1272-4136_R5B - 1269-5420_15.3.A.1.17 - WORLD-a_15.3.A.1.17
in this case, the device code is AB100C2DE3 and this should be the new folder name (step 4)

TWRP Recovery for M4 Aqua (No gui, command line only)
This is for E2303 I didn't test on other models, feel free to do so but I take no responsibility whatsoever if anything happens
This will disable OTA updates, if you want them back you can flash the FOTA kernel with FlashTool
Confrmed to be working on those variants:
E2303, E2306, E2333, E2353, E2363
Ok here it is thanks to @jeffreyvh kernel we can finally flash zips however we have 3 catches:
1. No GUI (Sony's fault until they provide full sources for our phones, we're stuck here)
2. You have to mount /system, /data and /cache manually (Working on it)
3. No external SD card support (working on it)
No problem? Cool..
Ok here's how to do it:
0. You need unlocked bootloader <-- Click here to see how
1. Download the recovery.img
2. Flash the recovery file with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Pull the cable turning off your phone.
4. Press the power button + volume down, when the phone vibrates, press the volume down button repetedly.
5. The Sony logo will disappear and you'll get a black screen (It's okay, congrats you've now booted twrp)
Now for the magic:
Connect your cable, make sure you have ADB and drivers installed.
In your terminal or dos window type:
Code:
adb shell
you'll get a prompt like ~ #
type these three commands:
Code:
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system /system
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/userdata /data
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/cache /cache
Now that you have the partition mounted you can flash your zip files:
We don't have external SD card support so for now we're going to stick with sideload
type:
Code:
twrp sideload
adb shell will exit, it's okay now we can install the zip file like this:
Code:
adb sideload <path_to_zip>
path to zip on your computer without the < >
so if you downloaded superSU on C:\Downloads\SuperSU.zip
you type
Code:
adb sideload C:\Downloads\SuperSU.zip
when you're done type:
Code:
adb reboot
and pull the cable
For Rooting:
Download SuperSU flashable zip from here https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
and flash it like explained before
good luck

Instructions
I found this guide very helpful and thus you can refer it here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
SOME CONSIDERATIONS :
1.Make sure you choose the FTF file for your device or you can risk bricking your phone forever.
At the moment, there are no FTF files so you will need to be patient.
2. Make sure all drivers are properly installed
3. To boot into flashmode/fastboot, you will need to turn off device.Hold volume up OR volume down and then connect your device while holding the volume key.
Volume up would take you to flashmode while volume down would take you to fastboot mode. Remember, you will need fastboot/flashtool drivers before you can flash anything.
here is another guide for you just as reference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
However if you have still issues , I can rewrite the guide.
ALL DRIVER PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia M4 to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.
DOWNLOAD LINKS
DOWNLOAD GOOGLE DRIVERS FOR MTP/ PC ETC
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
DOWNLOAD UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVERS HERE :
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
UPLOADED FILE : Sony Xperia Drivers for ADB.
UPDATE (EASIEST METHOD) :
Use flashtool drivers to install adb/fastboot/flashboot drivers. This is the most simplest and easiest method I have come across lately.
Simply download flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Go to folder where you have downloaded it. Usually C:/flashtool/drivers.
Select the drivers for your particular device. I use universal for all three types of drivers. It is helpful to boot into fastboot/Flashtool before installing the drivers but not necessarily.
FOR LINUX DRIVERS :
(No drivers required)
In your Xperia go to :
Settings > Xperia > usb connectivity > usb connection mode
Select Mass storage mode (MSC) > Press OK
Then plug your phone with your SDCARD inside
Try this guide if that does not work,LINUX DRIVERS GUIDE
Good Luck
Still problem ? Quote me back

On windows 8 and above you will need to disable DRIVER VERIFICATION in your windows settings to successfully install your drivers

GREENIFY
HOW TO KEEP RAM CLEAN AND KEEP YOUR PHONE BUTTER SMOOTH :
The phone MUST be fully rooted and all the recommended applications isntalled. They can be easily found on the Google Play. Links are provided for reference. In this guide I have used all the PRO (paid) applications. The Free versions will do fine but It is expected that some options are disabled in the free version. You can help developers by your contribution to their work
ADVANCED TASK KILLER
Advanced task manager is used to kill tasks running in the background.
Add advanced task killer widget to your home screen. Every time you need to kill background applications, just tap it once. This way all the applications in the background are periodically killed and thus, more RAM is available to your system and thus increased performance.
GREENIFY[ROOT]:
This application/system basically looks for applications running in the background. These background processes might slow down system. Furthermore, these increase the battery usage and reduce battery time. Greenify detects the background applications and hibernates them. This not only speeds up the phone but also saves battery.
SICK OF BLOATWARE?
TITANIUM BACKUP [ROOT]
Titanium backup is used for backing up your applications and system files. This can also DELETE applications from your ROM permenantly.
I recommend you make a backup with Titanium backup before uninstalling the files. REMEMBER, IF YOU UNINSTALL A SYSTEM FILE, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM and you will end up in BOOTLOOP.
I will paste a screenshot to tell you which applications can be deleted easily.
OTHER SETTINGS :
Go to your settings>developers tools> background limit> use as less as you want. THIS WILL INCREASE USER EXPERIENCE
HOW TO SWAP EXTERNAL MEMORY & INSTALL AS MANY GAMELOFT GAMES AS YOU WANT
Many of you are having problems installing many games in your internal memory and can only utilise 4 gb of your memory. This means only 3 gameloft games. Thus I will briefly help you with memory issues related to Xperia M4
This one is very easy. Install Folder Mount and it will do the rest. Remember with free version, you can only mount 3 folders. The application is frequently updated and it has great support for Xperia M4.
Basically this application creates a link folder in your SD card which is detected by games automatically once fully setup. It also moves your files into your SD card and this saves your EXTERNAL MEMORY FULLY. You can install as many games or applications and link them to your SD card. Its that simple.
Use App analyzer option to mount folders. Manual folder mounts are not recommended!
Go to app analyzer>Select Game> Creat pair(s)>Move files as well> Mounted
Make sure Folder Mount is ticked green before running games.
INTERNAL MEMORY PROBLEMS
Internal memory not adding up? Unknown files hogging your space.
This can be managed by SD MAID and TITANIUM BACKUP.
With SD Maid, you can free a lot of space. It has many cool features. I use the Corpse finder and System cleaner, App Cleaner.
You may also try app cleaner if you like.
Go to CORPSE FINDER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
SYSTEMCLEANER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
TITANIUM BACKUP IS USED TO RELOCATE THE MEMORY THAT IS MISSING.
Titanium backup> MENU > clean up the dalvik cache
This will also give you back some INTERNAL MEMORY BACK.

However, Once supported, the following method MUST work!
OFFICIAL SONY WEBSITE TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of this model. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu.
Open the Contacts app.
Click the menu button in the top right.
Click Settings.
Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above soft key bar, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).
Click Enter service code. A dialler will appear.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked(bootloader).
If your bootloader can be unlocked, proceed to the above website and follow the on screen instructions. You do not need to download full adb , just download the platform tools attached with this guide.
FOR MY REFERENCE. IGNORE
Just for my reference. Ignore it
These do not work.
Refer to first post for prerequisites.
ROOT CONFIRMATION
It was false root confirmation. You are more than welcome to try to find which method works for you from the following.
I have few confirmations of root working on Xperia M4 using this tool. Ignore what it says about kitkat or anything. Just make sure you got USB debugging enabled and drivers installed.
http://rootgenius.com/
Other methods that might work.
METHOD 1 (Kitkat/Lollipop. Unlocked/Locked Bootloaders)
This method has been implemented many a times by me and it has yeilded high results on different devices I have worked on.
We will replace the KingUser (chinese app like SuperSu) with SuperSU so you do not need to worry. You can also factory reset in order to be completely certain that no extra scripts are left in your system if you have any doubts about privacy.
1.Install iRoot (also called Vroot) (in chinese). The Chinese version is on 1.83 while the english translated is still on 1.78. Use the Chinese one.
http://www.mgyun.com/
2.Run iRoot app from PC. Wait till it is complete. You will have root with some system cleaner app with King user. Maybe you be successful with full root. Check Root Checker.
METHOD 2
It is also a chinese method and it also has been used by me for few devices. Many people have problems trusting it, but it installs superSU so I think I would not be concerned much. Feel free to try
1.Install KingoRoot
http://www.kingoapp.com/
2. Run the script and see if it helps. Wait about 15 minutes .
METHOD 3
1.After running iRoot for explort, run KingoRoot. Wait about 5-15 minutes as it would go on forever if it is not successful in rooting your device.
2.Close afterwards.
3. Run Iroot and Kingoroot together. Wait till it is restarted and you acquire root with KingUser.
The trick here is the moment, System is being restarted (device), Kingoroot pushes some scripts and together they are a deadly combination.
To GET SUPERSU if you got any other app instead for ROOT
1.Install supersu from market.
2.Update binaries
3.Restart.
Does not work ?
Use Beta SuperSU instead versions 2.48/2.49.
Install apk and try updating binaries.

In some scripts, you might find outdated version of SuperSU and it would not work unless you change the file with the latest SuperSU. Make sure you keep the name of the zip same, for example if the folder contains update, rename superSU 2.48 or 2.49 or2.47 or 2.46 to update as well. If it contains superSU, rename it to SuperSU.zip from supersu beta 2.49Beta etc.
You can find the superSU zip here :

Kingo root doesn't work, and there are security concerns about iRoot/vRoot. I wouldn't recommend either. Towelroot doesn't work on any Lollipop device to the best of my knowledge. SuperOneClick and Z4Root are both for Gingerbread devices, so neither of those are even worth trying.

I don't see a prerooted ftf working either, until there is a recovery method for the phone. As far as I know, only a true stock ftf can be flashed using flashtools.

Very nice work sir, Appreciate it very much.

The guide has been completed. It is upto you to try and find an exploit. At the moment, this is your best bet and I have used many methods for recent devices on Lollipop to root my devices and these tools have been successful. At times, you only need to update SuperSU in the script usually. Give them a try and post your valuable feedback.
I hope you are all aware of USB debugging needs to turned on and you have all the latest drivers installed!
If any script can not find your device, it means either USB debugging is turned off or you do not have drivers installed

I know USB debugging has to be enabled. Updating or installing SuperSu is only useful once the device has been rooted. Unfortunately none of the methods posted are capable of doing so. If you post a guide to rooting, it shouldn't be up to me to find the solution; respectfully, it rather defeats the object of "a guide". Some of the methods proposed haven't worked since Gingerbread. Which script are you referring to, and how does one update it to include SuperSu?

I understand your point mate. No offense!
The problem is that I do not own this device, if I had this device or you can provide me an FTF file, maybe I can work something out. For now, you can try these methods. I have successfully rooted LG devices/ Xperia and even samsung using the above 8 methods.
For your other questions, look at this. Also, Sometimes when i was trying to root my device , supersu 2.46 was not able to root it with the same script yet when i replaced it with 2.447 beta. It did

Hi,
Recently i purchased Cube iWork10 Ultimate 64GB Intel Atom x5 Z8300 Quad Core 10.1 Inch Dual OS Tablet and something wrong went with android side, I am not able to use it so i search for official firmware and did not find. I found firmware for tablet SN number start as i15TC,i15TD and i15T.
http://www.cube-tablet.com/download
http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownList.asp?SortID=7
I installed following img on my device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-stock-cube-iwork-10-flagship-i15-t-t3372281
Camera did not work at all. Second problem i can not change Auto rotate when i want (with game work like it should).
I resize partition by using Phone Flash Tool and X98 serie GPT file
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=725568
https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/resize-android-partition-the-easy-way-for-x98-serie/
I contact resller (banggood) to provide me official firmware and unfortunately they ignore my email. Then I create new topic in thier site to ask about firmware and got link for firmware but i think i need password in order to download firmware. Here is my topic
http://forum.banggood.com/forum-topic-307419.html
Then i went to http://www.51cube.com/ to check if there is any email to contact them about firmware and i sent couple emails to most of them and unfortunately they ignore my email. I resent the same email and got answer from Eddy with official firmware ( i told Eddy that reseller ignore my email then he provided me link for official firmware).

Anyone have idea how to root firmware for i15-TFL?
I think the correct place for my thread is to put it in xda-developers iwork-10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/iwork-10
but i am not able to do that because rules of this forum (to prevent spam, you must have a higher post count in order to make a new thread in this development section.�But feel free to make new thread in the non-development sections like General, Q&A, etc. Thanks for your understanding! )
Thanks in advance
Hello, I`ve met the same problem with same device with unknown revision serial "i15TFL": I`d flashed TWRP and Android stop starting proper.
Have you managed to restore the original Android on your device? Please give me instruction how to do this, and, if you could, post firmware files to Google Drive (Baidoo cloud speed really low).

I resize partitions and restore the original firmware on my device by using Phone Flash Tool 5.3.4.1 and X98 serie GPT file ( i have chosen gpt_20g_org)& TWRP Boot.
In the android firmware, replace the file gpt.bin
On the computer, install and run the Intel Phone Flash Tool . Click Browse ... , select the flash.json file, in the Configuration: field , set the recover option .
We translate the tablet into DNX FASTBOOT MODE , for this, on the off tablet simultaneously press and hold the On and both volume buttons . USB-cable connect it to the computer, make sure that the program saw it and click Start to flash
The first launch will take a lot of time, be patient
Then i installed window.
Everything worked like it should but without root
I can upload firmware to Google Drive but can not post link coz (To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!)
All data will be deleted. Everything you do, you do at your own risk.

Thank you wery much. I am even managed to get working Remix OS and Rooted stock Android (I don`t test it, but it should work) images.
How to install:
1. Download this firmware and flash via Intel Platform Flash Tool.
2. Put Rooted stock Android or Remix OS zip into internal memory or sd card.
3. Make sure you had activated "Enable OEM Unlock" in Android Developer`s menu.
4. Boot into recovery (choose android boot then hold Volume Down, in appeared menu choose recovery, device will reboot, then again choose android.. welcome to TWRP).
5. Install zip via TWRP.
Notice: Never never ever upgrade SuperSU APK. After upgrade it`s unable to update binary and stop functioning at all.
Notice: At RemixOS cameras does not work at all.

Np. Thank you for sharing your experience. I knew this method and its for re install android firmware but still have 2 problems I have mentioned it(check out first post) Camera did not work at all. Second problem you can not change Auto rotate when you want (with game work like it should). Also there is video showing how to install RemixOS in our devices, search in youtube ([SL] 043 Cube Iwork 10 Ultimate: How to flash ROM + root + MIUI + play.google + 512mb videocard - YouTube). You can follow the same step to install different img. I tried 6 different img and all of them have the same problem with auto rotate and camera. I resized partions coz android side have just 8 GB and its not enough for my games.
all imgs which i found and img which you provided not for i15-TFL . Its for iWork10_V1 and i15-T
But at rooted android image everything ok with camera and autorotation, after 1 day of RemixOS usage I decided it's better for me to return to stock os, but I also need root permissions. So, my experience is successful, everything still unresolved is sd card unmount during device sleep. But I detected it even on stock image.

For me with rooted android img camera & auto rotation. I had problem with sd card mount and unmount and i fixed it by uninstall supersu and install just busybox. Then i decided to resized partions ( 20 GB for android and rest for win) and i used sd in win side to install program&game. To do that search in youtube (Install any Windows programs or applications on microsd card Tech Guy Charlie).
Hello thank you for your Help.
The Root is there and the auto rototion is working.
But i have one problem there, the canera is not working after installing the rom via TWRP.
Is it a bug?

Do either @Mathias31 or @nm101 have links to the firmware and ROMs which you used to resolve the rotation and camera issues you experienced? I tried the previous links and it looks like they have expired....

Did you get your camera to work? My rotation and camera are not working...
OEM Win10 and Android both (GDrive)
I'd uploaded this one year ago at 4pda (russian forum), but totally forget about this thread.
Also, as I noticed, camera and rotation sensor works right on original firmware only.
Step by step guide for Oppo R9s Plus international version
This is for the Oppo R9s international version cph1611
1. First download the files from this folder (alternative links at the end of the post):
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qbobokagdgme2oa/AABQBtKTmbwChne9z1DaayHca?dl=0 )
2. Than first install the Oppo driver.
For Windows 7 just install the QcomMtk_Driver_Setup.exe and test later.
2. For Windows 10 you'll have to shutdown/power off your phone, than connect it to your usb, while pressing Vol+ and Vol- at the same time, until you plugged it in. Then go to your device manager and search for new hardware.
It will find a new device without proper driver. Install the driver from the Win10_Qualcomm.rar manually.
It will say the driver is not verify able, just install anyway.
After that check your device should now be listed as something like: qualcomm hs-usb qdloader
3. Register the oppo.reg
4. Than extract the file CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2 (don't know which programme do that under windows. i used ubuntu to extract, I saw 7zip should do it)
5. Extract the recovery.img into the same folder as the files from CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2, or MsmDownloadTool.exe will not start.
6. Power off your phone completely, by pressing the Power Button long and slide to shut down.
7. Connect your phone to usb, while pressing Vol+ and Vol- at the same time.
8. Check your device manager, it should show something like Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader ............
9. Inside the extracted folder from CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2 folder, you will find the tool: MsmDownloadTool.exe
Open it and set language as you need. After opening press F5. A pop up menu will appear. There deselect all, but recovery.img and boot.img (if you wanna keep your private data).
For the recovery.img you need to choose your file by clicking into the right side of the pop up menu and search for the location.
10. Flash your phone
11. After successful flashing, power the phone on by pressing: Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time.
After power comes on (short vibrate, display shows Oppo) switch directly to pressing Vol- and Power button to boot into the new twrp recovery.
12. From there you can install supersu (.zip file have to be copied into your phones memory, than install in twrp)
13. Reboot (don't need to wipe cache/data)
Install xposed and than whatever you want
Install hookup for ColorOs3.0 to get rid of root warning (It is in chinese, but don't panic, just switch on all options and your done)
Let me know, in case the link above goes down.
I will add pictures for better understanding, when I have time.
Have fun with your rooted phone

i just collected the links.
like i said all credit goes to xu wailin (reason for the chinese sites)
but for you all, i'm re-uploading the complete package with hookup to dropbox. just give me a few days, while my upload here is terrible slow (thailand standard). will post as soon as all is up.
Hey guys,
here the new upload:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qbobokagdgme2oa/AABQBtKTmbwChne9z1DaayHca?dl=0
I also repacked the files in the tar.bz2 to a normal .zip added hookup to remove root warning etc.
for hookup:
after installation go to exposed and activate hookup. IT IS IN CHINESE! but don't worry. just activate all options (all slide buttons) and you are done.
no root warning etc.
have fun and tell me if the new archive is ok. haven't tested it yet.

did you install the oppo drivers before? and register the .reg? i could open it after download.
anyhow. i will upload the tar.bz2 file again and the recovery.img. think while zipping there got something broke.
OK, I reuploaded the recovery.zip already. can open now. already on the upload for the tar.bz2 file will finish in the next 10 min. (internet at work is nice and fast i see). you can still use the old folder link. unpacking the tar.bz2 -> 7zip should do it, but i never tried it under windows

ok re-up already. try the tar.bz2 and the recovery.zip. should work now.
use 7zip for tar.bz2 or anything else that can unzip under windows. add the recovery.img to the same folder as the firmware and the msmdownload tool (it has to be all in one folder) if not msmdownloadtool won't start

Yeah I had an issue installing the drivers, when i chose the driver files it said they were already up to date.. I followed everything else though. If you updated the .zip I'll try again but it could be a problem with my PC, I'll try again.
Step by step guide for Oppo R9s Plus international version
Step by step guide for Oppo R9s Plus international version
This is for the Oppo R9s international version cph1611
1. First download the files from this folder (alternative links at the end of the post):
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qbobokagdgme2oa/AABQBtKTmbwChne9z1DaayHca?dl=0
2. Than first install the Oppo driver.
For Windows 7 just install the QcomMtk_Driver_Setup.exe and test later.
2. For Windows 10 you'll have to shutdown/power off your phone, than connect it to your usb, while pressing Vol+ and Vol- at the same time, until you plugged it in. Then go to your device manager and search for new hardware.
It will find a new device without proper driver. Install the driver from the Win10_Qualcomm.rar manually.
It will say the driver is not verify able, just install it anyway.
After that check your device should now be listed as something like: Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader
3. Register the oppo.reg file
4. Than extract the file CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2 (don't know which programme do that under windows. i used ubuntu to extract / I saw 7zip should do it)
5. Extract the recovery.img into the same folder as the files from CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2, or MsmDownloadTool.exe will not start.
6. Power off your phone completely, by pressing the Power Button long and slide to shut down.
7. Connect your phone to usb, while pressing Vol+ and Vol- at the same time.
8. Check your device manager, it should show something like Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader ............
9. Inside the extracted folder from CPH1611EX_11_A.01_161210.tar.bz2 folder, you will find the tool: MsmDownloadTool.exe
Open it and set language as you need. After opening press F5. A pop up menu will appear. There deselect all, but recovery.img and boot.img (if you wanna keep your private data).
For the recovery.img you need to choose your file by clicking into the right side of the pop up menu and search for the location.
10. Flash your phone
11. After successful flashing, power the phone on by pressing: Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time.
After power comes on (short vibrate, display shows Oppo) switch directly to pressing: Vol- and Power button to boot into the new twrp recovery.
12. From there you can install supersu (.zip file have to be copied into your phones memory, than install in twrp, NOT extract before, twrp can only handle .zip files)
13. Reboot (don't need to wipe cache/data)
Install xposed and than whatever you want
Install hookup for ColorOs3.0 to get rid of root warning (It is in chinese, but don't panic, just switch on all options and your done)
Let me know, in case the link above goes down.
I will add pictures for better understanding, when I have time.
Have fun with your rooted phone

I think you forgot to power off? Power off your phone. than connect it to your pc while pressing VOL+ and VOL- until plugged into usb. than you should be able to install the drivers.
if not try to uninstall your old drivers, reboot and than repeat the steps above.
you use win7 or win10?

Referring to the Chinese user guide, it did say drivers definitely work on Windows 7, the drivers for windows 10 didn;t work for some users. So Master Wu highly recommend users to root in Windows 7 platform.
If msndownloadtool appears as "unauthorized", please open msndownloadtool0.exe hack version and exit, then open msndownloadtool.exe version.
In your case, I suspect your drivers are not properly nstalled on your Windows 10. Don't ask me why but this does happen to some users.

I don't have a windows 7 pc, would a virtual machine running windows 7 do the trick?

Did you disable drivers signature in windows 10 before you install Oppo drivers?
