Okay, let's start from the beginning after I bought my new Cubix Cube CX100...
The first time I ever tried to root this was using Kingo ROOT. But then, I realized I couldn't play Love Live SIF when I'm rooted. So, I tried to find solutions like installing SuperSU from Chainfire and 'hide root', but it didn't work. It needs binary updates that when I try to, it gives me an error "Installation Failed, Reboot phone". So, I unrooted my phone to play this game.
Oh, I tried accessing the Recovery Mode and found a menu, but I didn't get to try anything because I still have less knowledge in this.
Second try is when I discovered the xposed framework's rootcloak, so I, once again rooted my phone and tried this option. By this time, I experienced a loop on boot. The way it loops, the logo shows animatedly but doesn't stop looping and the music keeps playing. I pressed my volume keys, and somehow, I successfully boot my phone.But yeh, the rootcloak didn't work either. So, I uninstalled the RootCloak and xposedframework. and unrooted my phone again.
One more option I found is Cydia Substrate's RootCloak plus. It didn't work, either. And once more, I unrooted my phone.
The next event is I discovered a page about flashing my phone's firmware.
guidemehub.com/2015/09/cherry-mobile-cubix-cube-stock-rom-firmware.html
I skipped to rooting the device and found another way to root it using KingRoot (I don't know the difference between KingRoot and KingoRoot, though)
Once again, I tried rooting this phone and using the SuperSU but still, it did not work.
I was talking with my friend about Rooting, and he mentioned CWMs and TWRPs which my eyes came across. And luckily, I found the branching thread in the same site about CM Custom Recovery.
Once again, I rooted my phone using KingRoot, and as the instruction provided, I used RashR flash tool. I selected and downloaded a preferred custom recovery and flashed it (CWM I chose). After then, I restarted my phone to recovery, but I couldn't. It directs me to the Cube booting, showing logo, and directing me to my phone as if nothing happened.
I again downloaded the original stock rom from that site, and re-flashed my phone's stock recovery. But didn't work, either. And so, I unrooted the phone and didn't try any other options now.
In the present, I talked about rooting once again with my friend, and told me he uses Framaroot. So, I downloaded it, but to my bad luck, when I pressed Faramir (or any of the three), it shows me:
Exploit Result
Failed ... Try another exploit if available (Error #9)
And my friend reacted in a way that the error was unknown to him. And so, he told me about Mobileuncle Tools and about its available tools for android.
When I pressed the Update Tool, it says
Check start Safe Flash update ZIP(NULL Package)
Cant find Update ROM in SDCard
Analysis update package end
And another thing, I found the Recovery Update tool in this app. So, I pressed it and showed me a list of custom recoveries such as CWM and more.
I picked CWM, of course. And downloaded the img within the program.
And so, I tried flashing the recovery within that. After trying so, the app restarted me to Recovery mode. My phone restarted, and when it booted, it boots directly to the system, like nothing happened.
I tried shutting down and using the hardware keys (Volume UP + Power) to access recovery mode, but I couldn't do so. Now, I'm looking for solutions to access my recovery because if I can't, and if one day my phone corrupts, I can't access recovery... I found some tips like using adb fastboot flash recovery or something, but still I'm not sure and I want to confirm.
So, can you guys recommended me some ways to restore my stock recovery or just change the recovery directly to CWM? Sorry for the long story, I specified every single thing I have tried so far and I'm thinking that I bricked my recovery just from keeping on Rooting and Unrooting, or one thing that changed it is the RashR tools.
Join the group in fb for cubix cube that's all I can suggest.... So you could get more infos and guides in t/s your issues with your phone.

I guess I fixed it and all... I'm now running Samsung S6 and PhilzTouch Recovery... ?

Hello all,
Am a totally novice to rooting stuff. However i managed to root my device using Kingoroot. Am trying to install CWM recovery but it fails with every method.
Using Odin, it gets stucks at flashing recovery.img and nothing happens...Neither it shows fail nor pass. Removing battery and restarting the device works fine so am not sure if anything at all happens. I tried different computer, different USB cables, different USB ports. nothing works
Also i tried using ROM Manager app. Even it says flashing failed. Am not sure if its all coz of Kingoroot?
Also a strange thing, at times when i reboot my phone, TiBa says i dont have root, even though superuser is still there. I have to root the phone again in such cases.
I thought of of trying Flashify, but flashify keeps saying you dont have root/superuser access though i have granted root permission to flashify.
Am really frustrated, and wondering what can make it work for me?

Sounds like KingoRoot isn't working 100% and maybe you aren't using the right recovery file for Odin. When you plug in your phone and open Odin as admin (this is important), does it show your phone connected as COM:XX where XX is any number? If not, then it's driver issues, most likely. If so, then I would try TWRP recovery.

Well Kingoroot might well be the reason...Tried to unroot using Kingoroot. But it simply wont recognize my device. It did recognized my device while rooting though. Also the system recognizes my device. No problem whatsoever with it.
Regarding recovery file, i tried CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 from Chainfire. And also from few other sources like Galaxys3root. Also tried 1.85 and 3.07 version of ODIN. Both of them detect my phone. The older ODIN shows Flash failed straight away after clicking start. Whereas the newer one as i said earlier goes ahead and gets stuck on recovery.img.
Also TiBa works but it says Superuser binary needs update and may not function properly. I tried downloading SuperSU. But even SuperSu binary update fails
Really frustrating as my device is getting too laggy and so want to switch to a lighter ROM
CF Auto Root isn't a recovery. It flashes one for the process of rooting but restores the stock one when finished. Typically it's meant for a specific build version of the software. Just try loading the newest TWRP, CWM, or Philz recovery through Odin. If you have a successful flash, make sure you boot to recovery before it boots to the operating system the first time and install SuperSU zip from Chainfire.
Hello,
I come for you, because I am trying to install android 4.4 on my phone, because android 4.3 isn't compatible with pokemongo.
I have a galaxy s3 GT-I9300 from a few years, I've never rooted it and it runs on android 4.3.
I've been looking for guides that say that I need to install CWM recovery to then be able to install CyanogenMod.
So I've downloaded Odin, and CWM recovery, added the CWM recovery .tar in the AP box of Odin, put my phone on download mod, plugged it, and run Odin.
It appears that it works succesfully, but when I reboot my phone in recovery mode, I still have Android Recovery System <e3>, and I can't install zip from sdcards (if I understood correctly, <e3> doesn't support zip, whereas <e2> does, and CWM is supposed to put it to <e2>), so I can't install CyanogenMod.
Here is a screenshot of my Odin after running it: (I can't post the link since I'm a new user, so it's on imgur)
/87oPm2l
I can't think of any more information to provide for now.
Thanks for your help.

It could be permission issues. But try using a different cable.
Also, the recovery you are flashing has to support the model of the phone, otherwise, Odin will refuse to install it.

Thanks for the answer, I was not in root mode.
I fixed it and it now works, I have been able to install CyanogenMod from the zip in recovery.
Now I tried restarting my phone, and it's stuck in "Android is starting".
I have a little blue alien popping on my screen, then the screen turns off, then the screen turns on and says things like "starting applications, preparing settings, optimizing applications". But it seems to be doing it on repeat and it's been an hour. Is it normal that it takes so long? I haven't seen it mentionned anywhere from what I checked.
Hey,
I'm kind of a newbie developer so please bear with me!
I have a WileyFox Storm, that runs Cyanogen OS 13 (kipper) as stock. A while back, I tried rooting it, and in the process installed TWRP Custom Recovery (which is a custom one made for the Storm). Well, the process of rooting didn't work (multiple times), so I gave up.
Right, it comes to today where my device can receive an OTA update. I pressed install, where it rebooted back into recovery. As it turns out, I forgot about the TWRP CR which was still there, thus, I could not update my device.
I now want a way to install the stock recovery (just the recovery), without having root access, and preferably without factory resetting my device (I have done this too many times and it just pisses me off!).
I assume I just install the .zip from CM's website, and side load the recovery.img using ADB but I simply do not know enough.
Please help, thank you!

Root has nothing to do with flashing ADB so you can go ahead and sideload it as long as you have the correct drivers for your phone
And my phone won't factory reset if I just sideload the recovery.img?
Yep you are correct
Hello, I need a little advice on getting my phone working again. I got a new Ramos MOS1 Max today and rooted it via Kingo PC software. I checked to make sure it was rooted using RootChecker and it said it was rooted. I was reading up on what to do next and some sites said the next thing you must do is to make a backup of your phone via TWRP. I installed the software and then attempted to use the "reboot and create backup" functionality. The phone rebooted and I was in the Android system recovery menu. I didn't see anything like what TWRP was supposed to show, so I just rebooted via the standard recovery screen method. Now when I try to start the phone, it gives me a logo, then ARMPHONE and it hangs on that.
I've tried wiping my cache partition via recovery menu and rebooting, but no dice. Next they suggested to do a wipe data/factory reset, and since I just received the phone today, I decided to try that. After doing that via system recovery menu it still wouldn't boot past the ARMPHONE screen. I don't have a lot of experience with rooting and modifying Android devices, is there something I can do to fix this? I've installed the android SDK tools for my version of android (5.1 I believe), but I don't know how to proceed. Is there a stock image I can use for this phone, or can I just use a vanilla android image?
Thanks in advance.

You can find the firmware here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=783029
Phone: LG Aristo MS210 (Metro PCS)
Bootloader: TWRP 3.0.3.0
So let me explain. I was just figuring out how to root the LG Aristo since I had never done it with a custom ROM. Yes, true story. Anyway, I was happy I got it working perfectly until I rebooted my phone. When I rebooted it, SuperSU was gone. I tried going to the play store and redownloading it, but I got an error code -504, and the thing is, I couldn't download any apps. ANY. I decided to look the error code up and I can't find anything on it. I tried multiple times doing multiple different things. From factory resetting, reflashing SuperSU, to factory resetting and then flashing SuperSU, wiping dalvik-cache along with everything except for system. It didn't work and I thought I could get it working.. Well... this next part I really messed up on. I decided to wipe everything. I selected all options and slid the cursor and it failed. The wipe failed. It said "E: /sdcard1 unable to partition" or something like that. I noticed that when I was wiping earlier the internal storage was also called that, and the funny thing is I have no microSD card in my phone. So. :/
Now when I boot I'm stuck on the LG splash screen and nothing else happens. I tried recovery mode (without ADB) with the power button + vol down key as I read here: (I'd post link but I'm a new member) that's how you get into recovery/factory reset. I'd use ADB to get into recovery, but since I just wiped the system, I don't have USB debugging enabled. I tried anyway and I gotta say this is my worst nightmare as I'm too young to get a job, (15 yrs. old) so I can't get a phone. :/ Oh, and if this can be useful: I know it connects to my PC over USB because I hear the sound it makes when a new device is connected. Is there any way I can use that to unbrick it?
EDIT 9/10/2017 9:31 PM (Eastern Time): I managed to get into twrp. I'm currently looking online for how to flash android 7.0 nougat (OS it originally had)

Hi,
Well the only way to fix this is that u need to be able to boot into recovery.
If u tried booting into recovery by holding the power and vol+/- and u end up booting to the boot logo, then recovery is also wiped.
In this case, u will need to check if u have access to fastboot. If so then obtain the twrp recovery for ur device and flash it then tried booting into recovery using the appropriate keys.
When I get time, I will research ur device for any recovery tool and stuff.
