Trying to Root a phone bought off eBay...No Luck. XGody X200 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

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

Kingroot works with xgody g200 android 5.1.

[Q] Rooting Samsung Rugby Smart on Linux

Hello all,
I am a total newbie with mobile technologies, but know my way around a linux-box alright.
I just got a Samsung Rugby Pro through an upgrade at ATT.
My goal is to run Ubuntu touch as my main OS. I know some people think this is a silly aim, but its my money, so for the sake of simplicity, can we just agree that it is a goal?
I have been doing every backflip I can find to root this thing. Or flash it. Or do whatever is necessary to enable fastboot via the linux terminal.
The adb install I have works just fine (i.e. it detects, can restart it, etc). I have tried messing with the 51/71/99 android.rules in udev many, many times. Fastboot will not recognize the device. I have loaded the device into the bootloader screen various ways (via adb, via volumedown+home+power before and after plugging it in) ; no luck.
I figured it may be because the phone isn't rooted. This has led for my current root quest.
Using linux, and not having current access to any other OS's, I haven't been able to use Odin, or any of the other (likely scan) knock-offs. I have heimdall installed, and for the bloody life of me, though it says its working, even when the phone is in boot-loader, it doesn't do anything once the b*stard restarts.
I have tried downloading what feels like a hundered update.zip scrips, cwm.zip's...etc, etc. No luck! Whenever I try to install the update from the SD, it says there is an error in verification. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do it during normal operation; not that that would particularly help.
I have also tried a zRoot application, and a host of others...most of which all require root access?
Perhaps this is a simple deficiency in my understanding of this whole process, but there seems to be a bit of a loop of which one is needed first; root or cwm. I am spinning round and round; my cat is looking at my chain smoking funny and my gf says I stink.
So here I come to you all. How the hell's this done? If anyone has successfully rooted the Rugby pro on linux, I would be eternally greatful for the help. If you know how to go all the way to ubuntu-touch, you will have a cat and a lovely lady also eternally greatful.
Please...help.

[Q] Rooting Posh Equal S700a?

Hey guys. I've rooted a few phones before, but I've recently purchased this Posh Equal S700a phablet running Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. However, I cannot root this device for anything in the world. I asked in the XDA assist forum and was directed to this subforum. I've searched around the internet and can barely find anything on the phone, let alone a proper rooting method for it. Does anyone know of a way to root this phone? So far I've tried:
iRoot
-----------
I've tried both the mobile APK and Windows application. The Windows application doesn't detect my phone, even though I have the drivers properly installed. Only USB_DIAG shows next to the picture of the iPod USB cable, but when I click the button to start the rooting, it says no phone is found. The mobile version of the app claims that the phone has been successfully rooted when I press the Root Now button, but the phone never actually roots. Sometimes I will get their version of the SuperUser app installed to my device, but after running a Root Checker app, it says that my phone still isn't rooted. As a matter fact, if I run the iRoot SuperUser app, it will even tell me that the phone isn't rooted and that I will need to run the iRoot application again to reroot the device (but this never works).
Kingo
---------
Kingo actually detects my device and gets to the rooting process. However, when I get to the fastboot menu, the phone will reset once more into the fastboot mode, then restart one last time to take me back to the homescreen. By that time, the Kingo pc app will say that the process has timed out and ask for an email address so that they can send the report to the developers.
Root Genius
---------------
Did 15 minutes of resetting and installing suspicious looking apps. I deleted them and ran a virus scan after the application failed. Anyway, the application kept saying that it successfully added files and was transferring the necessary root files to my phone, etc. Every 5-10%, the device would reset and keep attempting to do the same thing before ultimately quitting at around 80% and saying something along the lines of "Your phone is really tough, do you want to manually root?". From there I get directed to a site in Chinese.
Towel Root
----------------
Device not supported
FramaRoot
--------------
Device not supported
There was also another oneclick flash tool that I tried, but I can't remember the name of it right now. I will have to check when I get back to my Windows desktop. That app also hung early in the process as well after detecting the phone and identifying the basic info such as model number etc.
Did you ever figure this out?
I just go the S700A as a backup phone and would like to root it or upgrade to 5. Did you every figure it out?

somebody knows how update or find stock firm for this phone?
I rooted using Dr.fone, now I need a ROM - help XDA, please!
6/16/18: I had Dr.fone installed on myPC so I USB'd into my Posh Mobile Equal L700 and the app found it. It did give me choice of only a "Mediatek" or "Samsung" phone. I was brave and chose Mediatek. The app ran for awhile then showed Root Successful.
Just to check I downloaded RootChecker app from Google Play Store and it shows the phone is rooted. Also, Malwarebytes now keeps giving me the message it is rooted and may be unstable (Oh yippee, that makes me feel good....not.)
Now I am stuck at flashing a new ROM on this device and can't find one that works. Search on YouTube for ROM for Posh Mobile Equal L700 by Sheena Rodriguez - I am prevented from including the actual URL in this posting b/c I have not done 10 posts yet. However, every time I try it, (and apparently I am to download directly into my phone and not into my PC then use a USB to get it to work, but I'm trying that next, even though I have no idea if that is a real "thing"), it comes with a "blocker" page that tells me I need to "try" one of two apps and then the install will finish. That seems way off to me.
Does anyone out there have a reliable ROM to refer me to? I am absolutely raw new to this so I really need a "do this FIRST, second, etc." instructions.
P.S. - a tech from Posh Mobile just told me this phone is no longer supported, even though I'm still within my one-year warranty, and then when I questioned him further he told me Posh Mobile no longer exists. I think the phone itself has decent bones and could still have a lot of life in it, but it REALLY needs a new ROM....
Help!
-sincerely, geogat.

DigiLand DL718M - Root Needed , DL701 procedures do not work on the 718m

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

SRSRoot states that it is compatible but I can't get it to recognize my device even though I can see it in CMD... Any luck on your end?
Hi I picked one of these up too, surprising little $40 device.
I dont want to start another thread but would like to add that I too am looking for a capable root
Thanks.
Also looking for root - anyone flash a custom recovery onto this device?
*found this tweet says it works for this device - trying now*

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

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

I've already had an Acer B1-810, which i just sent back to repair the bootloop (sshhhh don't tell anyone), yet I still want to buy this one to tinker and test how long it's gonna last. I just think it's better to wait for a root so i can disable background app and boost it a little bit. Small question: Does it have many bloatwares ?
None at all actually
Any news on people being able to root this? I have had no luck so far.
what I've learned so far
from power off, holding down volume down and power button boot into a menu in Chinese.
the top item is a system test
the second item displays test results
the long item is some sort of debug menu
the item below that clears/wipes personal data to factory reset(useful if you forget your lock code)
the bottom item reboots to normal operation
the volume down button navigates the menu, the power button selects choices, and the volume up button acts as a go back button in sub menus.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
the OEM Android version is nearly stock I did the update and am at 5.1
the developer options is missing the unlock rom option, which is the easiest way to get to root.
these universal adb drivers seem to work
github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
as does this fastboot:
code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/detail?name=fastboot-win32.zip&can=2&q=
the fastboot menu is in English, which is nice, but the partitions are write locked, and I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.
and I recommend the ap ' volume in notification ' to solve lolipops refusal to actually change the volume!
So, no one has figured out how to do this root yet? I'm dying to know and I would like it rooted. I've tried every method, even the PC ones. iRoot does not work like I hoped it would :/
getting closer
so it dawned on me i can use adb to reboot into recovery mode, which i did and is in english!
i then tried to sideload, and it told me i had to use adb version 1.0.32 or newer, quick download, and unrar later into the same directory i overwrote my old adb files.
from there i used adb reboot recovery to open the stock android recovery, it provided a dead android robot with his chest open, tapping the power button and volume up at the same time took me into the recovery menu.
i was unable to apply a zip file update superuser.zip either from the adb sideload, or from the sdcard.
it said installation aborted.
got the same response with an .img file with clockwork mod recovery
also same message when trying to use sideload to load superuser apk file
the fastboot that comes with the xda copy of adb 1.0.32 didnt seem to work at all, so went back to previous version of fastboot, mentioned in an earlier post.

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

How to unlock Alcatel Ideal 4060A Bootloader?

Hi,
I'm brand new to this forum and my name is Jessy, and it's my pleasure to be here!
I recently bought this AT&T GoPhone (for around $29) at Walmart, and I was following this guide to allow me to use my SD Card as an internal memory storage unit for my phone, but I found out that I need to unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, SuperSU and Link2SD apps to the SD card and my phone. Since this smart phone is similar to the Idol 3, could I use this method to unlock the Bootloader for my phone or do I have to try a different approach?
I appreciate your time and I look forward to contribute further to these forums! Thanks again!
-Jessy
I picked one up on Black Friday, and decided to root it. I was only able to install an older version of SuperSU though (v2.46). First I had to install the PC version of KingRoot (It's in Chinese I believe, but middle button is always "next" or "yes"), root the phone, and then replace KingRoot with SuperSU. Took me a few tries.
This is the guide I used from the forum:
SuperSU Me_6.4.apk
KingRootSetup v3.2.0.1129.exe
1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)
2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option
3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...
4. after rooting,install supersume on phone
5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...
done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

My Alcatel Ideal 4060A froze a few times during the removal of KingRoot, but all I did was: turn off the phone, remove the battery, and finish the procedure once the phone was on. The phone was only $10 on Black Friday, so you could say it was only an experiment on my part. Unless it's a really good phone, where you can go to the manufacture's website and download the original firmware and install it through your PC, there's not much you can do to unbrick a cheap phone that is practically unknown.

Thank you Mario for your help! I'm having a little trouble having my phone being recognized by Kingroot, although I have ADB enabled from the developers option, it seems not to pickup my phone still. I'm still trying though and I'll let you know if I get it to work properly, and perhaps document my mistake so others following this post who happen to have the same problem could know what to do.
- Jessy
*UPDATE*
Just wanted to update that I found out what was my mistake, which is a really simple and basic mistake, I apologize!
What I did was that after I had enabled ADB through my phone, it was already connected to my PC right after I had downloaded Kingroot, so my solution here was simple. I turned off my phone first, then I turned it back on while still connected with Kingroot still running then Kingroot finally read my phone and it rooted it as you outlined. Thanks again for your help, it is too valuable for me!
Here's the guide that I'm following so that I could install more apps to the phone through my 64 GB SD card if you guys were interested, to make the phone more useful, and I also installed my obama phone SIM card on it as well (from lifeline wireless, because hey why not? )
Here's the link to add more internal memory to this phone

No problem. I'm glad you got the phone rooted. I originally picked up the phone to use as an MP3 player, so I removed most of the unnecessary stock apps with "System app remover (ROOT)", but now that I see how good the phone is (at that price), I plan to use it as a backup phone. It even has a notification LED light for unopened messages LOL; anyway, good luck.
My Alcatel bricked too using this method stuck at boot logo and does nothing... Any fix?
Thanks for writing rooting method for Alcatel 4060a Ideal Pop445. Need some help

I've been an iPhone user for many years, I'm almost new to android. I have unlocked the bootloader from the hidden developers options in the settings app. I haven't found any thing useful to root my new Alcatel Ideal 4060a (Pop 445) (at&t unlocked). There are tons of bloatwares and many apps that I can't transfer to sd card. I hope you two can help me out here as I don't want to brick my device.
Question 1: Do jessy did something wrong(regarding your given steps to root) that makes her device rooted OR she has just been lucky? Because someone just posted that he/she has bricked his/her device.
Should I go ahead and try my luck with your method you there would be some advice you would like to give?
Question 2: If I would be able to root this device, would I be able to install Android 6.0 Marshmellow?
Don't root this yet

I have rooted with Kingroot 5; latest windows version on their website. Now I'm working on replacing it with Supersu or Supersu-me.
I think there always be some solution as far as you are seeing something on your phone's screen.
Just a note from another user with an Alcatel Ideal 4060a... (got for $10 from Best Buy on Black Friday)
Don't try using King-O-Root, then proceed to install Super SU from Google Play. It works that first launch, but on rebooting...
It's permanently bricked. And yes, I tried everything, including adb, recovery (doesn't have an option to flash a rom), from-pc flashing (wouldn't connect/wasn't recognized by adb or the other tools), fastboot (wouldn't launch), etc.
I don't know about the alternate Kingroot app, though. That probably works as some people have said it does for this model.
I was stupid and assumed King-O-Root would work as well, since it seems pretty generic and worked for another phone. I've learned my lesson and will now only follow guides for the specific phone model I have.
Why am I even writing this if it's a different rooting app? Cause I spent 6 hours just to end up killing one of my phones, and this is my best attempt at feeling like there was some worth to the waste. (the chance of preventing someone else the misfortunate, and just ranting)
Anyway, I'm going to bed. (So annoying because I only barely was brash enough to go ahead without a phone-specific guide--was on the fence, but landed on the unfortunate side) Argh! Argh! Argh!

Any solution for this? I want to replace King-O-Root with Super SU.
None that I know of.
I have another Android phone that I was also trying to get root on, and that one gets it temporarily using King-O-Root as well, but I'm too paranoid to try to make it permanent on that second one. Losing both my Android phones would be too painful.
If anything, I guess try the KingRoot program, from the pc, and then use the "SuperSU Me" app, as the person on the first page of this thread described. That way worked for at least one person apparently. (though the poster just after said it bricked theirs, so beware)
By the way, is your root from King-O-Root temporary (till restart) or permanent? I installed Super SU during the same launch I used King-O-Root, so I never got to see whether King-O-Root itself would have worked as a permanent (though non-ideal) solution. (I know that on my other Android phone it's temporary)
King-O-Root = Bricked Phone
KingRoot5 = Root Successful + it is possible to replace with SuperSU

Recovery Retrieved!
I was able to pull the recovery from this phone. Can someone make TWRP for this device using the stock recovery?
Here is the actual recovery image file that I pulled:

Did you manage to unlock the bootloader? If not then you cant flash anything and building twrp would be useless.

I pulled the boot file. Could someone maybe look at that? I cannot boot to the bootloader.
I could try to flash_image twrp to the recovery and try that.
I got this phone on black friday, shortly after I got root with kingroot 5 pc and it was all great, however I got greedy and replaced kingoroot with supersu :silly:. First reboot and it goes into boot loop. Now its been sitting in a drawer. I think that purify deleted some app it looks at boot.
It looks like the simplest way to get a restore is 'IF' TCL/Alcatel does an update, someone intercepts the signed zip file, then that zip file could be distributed and used with the stock restore.
Hopeful everyone here can work a better solution... thanks for all your hard work everyone.
yes u r right
many time happen with me, Happen with me on asus KA10, But i got fastboot update img lucky. hope that u will get Fast boot image some day or we may able to get recovery for this device . in that case your your phone may start working

My phone is rooted, but not able to unlock bootloader so far ...

Rooting a mediatek mt6580 massive trouble.

Hey guys and gals, this may sound like an eye rollingly noobish post but honestly ive never had more trouble rooting an android device in my life! so I just got one of these:
https://www.shopandsmile.com.au/collections/android-tablets/products/10-inch-octa-core-3g-tablet
youve probably seen them floating around Aliexpress and the like, not a bad tablet but should go for less than $100 due to build quality, but moving on,
so its a Mediatek MT6580 chipset and the model is BXMC-K107
ive been trying to root this thing all day, I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb, however any attempt to root with any of the programs like kingroot, root genius, iroot etc have all failed, absolutely no luck with any of them, i tried the manual root method but couldnt get nautilus to work with my VM ubuntu install through virtual box, I will try again with a proper installed linux distro rather than vm but I cant see it making much difference.
I also used the main program people use for Mediatek devices (MTK droid tool) however when I open it, I get this error after it reads the tablet:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdis1ilv8qxccrm/Cap.........................ture.PNG?dl=0
trying to root gives me this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpvdexxswwyeh33/Capturascsxze.PNG?dl=0
cant create any backups, cant use any program to root, and cannot figure out where to go from here,
any help would be much appreciated!
THANKS!
