Sorry guy's it's probably been asked a thousand times, anyone had any luck rooting the xgody x200?
I have been trying for quite some time to no avail and I don't have the patience to scroll through all the posts.
Also any ideas on how to recover one from bootloop? Somehow my partner has managed to get hers stuck in one.
Thanks in advanced.

I know this post is about a year old, but I had the same issue and solved both of these questions.
First things first, you'll need ADB, SP Flash Tool, the XGODY X200 CWM recovery.img, the official ROM, and the SuperSU zip.
Unlike most phones, you'll want to actually unzip the ROM folder before you start.
>>>TO JUST RECOVER STOCK ANDROID<<<
1. Pull the battery out of the phone.
2. Open SP Flash Tool.
3. Choose the scatter-loading file from the extracted ROM folder.
4. Press "Download"
5. Put the battery back in the phone. Press the power button and immediately plug the phone into the computer.
*Speed is crucial, if it gives you an error message, unplug the phone, pull the battery out for 30 seconds, press download, put the battery back in and try again.
6. Wait for the success dialog to pop up, unplug the phone, and turn it on!
First boot may take a few minutes, so be patient.
>>>RECOVER AND ROOT<<<
1. Pull the battery out of the phone
2. Open SP Flash Tool
3. Replace the recovery.img in the ROM folder with the CWM recovery.img and run Checksum_gen.exe
4. Choose the scatter-loading file from the extracted ROM folder.
5. Press "Download"
6. Put the battery back in the phone. Press the power button and immediately plug the phone into the computer.
*Speed is crucial, if it gives you an error message, unplug the phone, pull the battery out for 30 seconds, press download, put the battery back in and try again.
7. Wait for the success dialog to pop up, unplug the phone, and turn it on!
First boot may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Copy the SuperSU zip to the phone's storage.
8. Go to Settings>Developer Settings and enable USB debugging. In command prompt or a terminal, type "adb start-server" and accept the RSA fingerprint on the phone. then type "adb reboot recovery".
9. With the volume rocker, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard" (bottom option) and choose SuperSU.zip
10. choose "go back" and "reboot device now"
11. You won't be able to see the app icon for some reason, but SuperSU *will* be installed. Open any app that requires SuperSU and it will ask you to grant or deny superuser permissions.
NOTE: Should you ever have to change your SuperSU settings, you can use adb to force it open with "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n eu.chainfire.supersu/.MainActivity"

None that I could find. It seems this phone is too unknown. We could probably use the stock ROM to port another ROM for the same chipset but back when I was originally messing with it I couldn't get it to work. I see conflicting info on the internet and on-device as to what CPU this phone uses. Some places claim it uses a MTK6589, others claim it's a MT6572. Knowing someone else still has theirs, I might give it another shot, though. I can probably disassemble mine and see if it has any markings on the physical chip.
Regardless of what I find, this phone may be stuck on Android KitKat.

It is too unknown, most links from Google are to buy it,
You should be able to find the chipset from system information.
I personally have found that cpu-z give a ton of information regarding hardware.
If you can't access you system info then I could charge mine up and find out for you?
Have you reset yours using SP Flash tools?
If you want I have the tool and stock firmware that I could send to you.

I can probably find that out then; I haven't reset it. If you could send me that stuff, that would be great! I changed my main PC's Operating System and lost all my original files with it. Saw that the original download location now wants you to pay for it, too. Anyway, PM me and I'll give you my email so you can get me those files ?

Earlier today I bricked my Padfone 2 by installing 3rd part font. After a reboot to apply the changes, it got to the boot logo but never any further.
I got it up and running again, :victory: and to those out there in same or similar situation, here's a tutorial on what I did:
Before we start, there's a few things you need;
1.1 Latest ADB version (I used 1.0.31) [ATTACHED]
1.2 Latest Fastboot version [ATTACHED]
1.3 CWM Recovery [ATTACHED]
1.4 Latest ASUS USB Drivers (available from ASUS Support site) [ATTACHED]
1.5 Padfone 2 Firmware (available from ASUS Support site)
*** NOTE: For ease of use, place extract and place all of the above to the same folder.
*** NOTE: Inside the Padfone 2 Firmware ZIP file, there's another ZIP file. This is the one we need! The one I used was called "WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip"
*** NOTE: This method does not install CWM Recovery on your phone, it only boots it temporarily.
If you have all of the above, continue to step 2;
2.1 Booting your Padfone 2 into Fastboot mode
2.2 Press and hold Power + Volume up buttons
In Fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer and launch cmd. Wait for windows to install necessary drivers if needed.
3.1 Navigate your CMD to the folder containing ADB, Fastboot and CWM Recovery (recovery.img)
3.2 In CMD type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
In the CWM Recovery on your phone, select the option titled "Install ZIP from sideload".
Use the volume keys to navigate and select by pressing the power button.
4.1 In CMD, transfer the Padfone 2 Firmware by typing
Code:
adb sideload [firmware-file-name.zip]
- Example from my case, I wrote:
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
4.2 When it is done, you'll be presented with CWM Recovery's screen again, select "Reboot system now".
4.3 CWM Recovery will present you with a warning saying: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" - Select "NO".
If you are experiencing problems with driver installation, you can fix it manually. If windows installed the drivers correctly, skip this step. To solve this, go to device manager by entering the Start menu, right-click Computer and select “Manage”. Select the Device Manager.
You should see a failed device named A68. Right-click it and select “Update device software”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “Have Disk”
Now browse and navigate to the folder you extracted your ASUS USB Drivers to and select the file named “android_winusb.inf”
Select “ASUS Android ADB Interface” and install.
All done! You should have a working Padfone 2 again!
Please note that you may need to root your phone again.

Hi,
I have the same problem like you rafael_mfr .
Is there any solution to unbrick my padfone 2 ?
Bricked?
I have now joined the club
Not sure if it's bricked or not but the phone is stuck on loading (silver Asus with circulating loading) unstopping for more than an hour.
Tried your technique and all other possible ways but no luck any ideas?

As far as I know, the QHSUSB_DLOAD error is hardware related and cannot be fixed by normal means. I believe it requires some special hardware or flash tool or something.
You could try manually installing the Asus USB drivers by following the last step and see if that works?
In any case, the tutorial only fixes software based issues.
Mine got totally bricked some time ago. Somehow the mainboard was fried and needed replacement.
It didn't react in any way when trying to power it on. If i plugged in the charger, it would get pancake-making hot!
Asus dispatched a UPS guy to pick it up and send it for repair. When the mainboard is fried like mine was, they can't tell if it were rooted or not, so they had to repair it.
All in all, I had a great experience with ASUS warranty

Your issue should be fixable!
I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked?
Was the
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
successfull?

Yes, bootloader is unlocked
Yes, adb sideload is working via CWM but tried it with the latest firmware update (WWE_A68-10.4.17.7-0-ota-user.zip) from asus.com after renaming the file to "WWE.zip" for shorter cmd lines
Anything else needs to be checked?

Tried that at the very beginning.
That issue has started after I installed GPS Status - Test and Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus&hl=en as part of getting a better GPS performance I have reset GPS and then Get Xtra data but after restarting, it never loaded the system. I hope this helps identifying the issue
I might try this way as a final try

I wouldn't recommend doing an SKU conversion. There might be (not sure) a slight difference in hardware in the different areas. I know products sold in China sometimes aren't up to spec with the rest of the world in order to keep prices down and sales up, for an example.
So if the voltage settings are a little off in comparison to your hardware, it might get fried.
That being said, your issue is a weird one. It sounds like software malfunction, easily solvable with a reset or sideloading firmware, forcing me to wonder if your device have been flashed with a different SKU or, perhaps, have a hardware malfunction.
For now all I can come up with is; repeat the process. Give it reasonable time to boot up, 10 mins. should be more than enough. If there's still no progress, enter recovery and clear the cache and try booting up again.
Otherwise I'm stumped.
Might be time to consider the RMA option?
A lot of Padfone 2's are born with a eMMC fault - so it could be related?
Fixed, wipe data partition (from stock recovery ONLY) what an intermittent issue
Thanks..... it was wery usefull
There's another way to un-brick.
The first day I received my Padfone 2, after only 6 hours I got it really badly bricked. No button combination would work, all I got was "invalid kernel"
On Modaco there's a thread http://www.modaco.com/topic/365818-padfone-2-invalid-kernel/?p=2191432 that worked very well, even a self-proclaimed noob as myself could finally get it together. It was amazing as I thought I had to send the Phone back to Germany (from Portugal)
For those who prefer the German language: http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-padfone-2-forum/531509-bricked-invalid-kernel-2.html
credits go to Paul O'brien and manu7irl who posted this solution on MoDaCo and Vakilando on Android-Hilfe who inspired me to give it a second try.

So I recently bricked my G3 and it was a living hell to unbrick it from the lack of info but I gathered what I could and did it. My G3 is working great now so here's how I did it: (for the record I had no download mode, no recovery, and no system for flashing JasminROM after flashing a 35B bootstack...so don't do that.)
Required Materials:
Bricked G3
Screwdriver
Wire
USB Cable of good quality
PC
Solder (Optional)
Soldering Iron (Optional)
Things required on PC:
Secureboot disabled and test mode enable
Qualcomm USB Drivers (attached)
TOT File
Zip file containing willcracker's tools (attached)
Pics:

Have drivers installed and tot file ready. Also make sure battery is removed and top cover is removed to expose motherboard.
Steps:
1. Plug in USB cable to PC
2. Connect one end of the wire to ground (or solder it to the ground point as it is much easier to simply hold one wire end)
3. Connect other wire end to the second point from the bottom (see pic)
4. Plug in the USB cable to phone (should hear windows tone for connection within seconds)
5. Release second wire end
6. Check device manager for device, should be Qualcomm 9008 (jot down port #)
7. Open the zip
8. Extract contents to desktop
9. Run Board Diag as admin
10. Select downloaded tot file under Image Extraction (BIN section)
11. Choose an output folder (any folder) we'll call this Folder O
12. Click Extract
13. Choose B2 from first drop menu
14. Choose the correct com port from second drop menu
15. Choose Folder O for Target Dir
16. Check AP CHECK and EMMC Test
17. Hit Start
18. Restore Device should now have drop menu, select aboot and hit start
19. Do the same for: BackupGPT, boot, dbi, laf, PrimaryGPT, recovery, rpm, tz and finally sbl1 (MAKE SURE THIS IS THE LAST ONE FLASHED)
20. Phone should get disconnected
21. Put battery in
22. Power On
23. Flash the complete KDZ using LGFlashTool for a completely clean install. Make sure software versions match.
Credits to @willcracker for files and guide, I just rewrote it and made it much more clear (test point was in the posts under thread and weren't well explained). If you have questions, feel free to ask.
Reserved.
I used This thread and it also worked for the vs985.
I'm about to do this for two different G3s. Will post back results. Both of them are hard bricked.
One G3 is unbricked and I am about to do the other. Thread is perfect. Thanks a lot OP!
THANK YOU, thought I my VS985 for good for spare parts only, but today it has been brought back to life, so Thank you

Hey i did this thing for all img... Including system userdata and cache... Now its still the same... When i switch it on it shows lg logo and goes to "Demigod Crash Handler"...... Help please........
I got through step 19, but now I get the LG logo with "Boot Failure" under it and it's stuck in a boot loop. Any idea what I did wrong?
ETA: I was able to get into the Firmware Update mode and use the LG Flash Tool. Thanks for this guide.
Question, after updating from OTA 47a mine started rebooting continually. After trying several options I did a factory reset which took several hours to actually get it done. I set it back up and when signing into a second Gmail account it rebooted again. Did another reset. I got into safe mode, deleted apps like google maps, Gmail, tv, books, etc. Then let It sit over night. It shut off. Now it would only load up to the LG screen or Verizon screen and then shut off. But it seems to get worse cause now I have to pull the battery and sometimes for several minutes. (phone worked perfectly before these updates and never rooted)
I tried to use LG Flash Tool but the phone won't stay in download mode long enough. Sometimes 20 seconds sometimes 5.
So my question is what are my options short of sending it to LG or using as a paper weight.

Sadly, I don't know what else to suggest. *If* you had been able to get it to stay in Download mode long enough, I would flash the 10B TOT. TOTs flash more things than KDZs, so sometimes flashing a TOT will solve a problem when flashing a KDZ doesn't (I've personally had that experience). Flashing KDZs after flashing the TOT is fine.
If there's some way to force it to go into QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode (I haven't looked at the first post in a while, so maybe that's what they're referring to), then there's a third option, which you'd have to Google that term to find the recovery directions using different drivers and a different program. It would show up as QHSUSB_BULK 9008 in Windows' Device Manager - I believe in the Ports section, but possibly in the Modem section.
On the upside, I had the absolute best experience with LG for a repair, but that was my tablet under warranty - no idea if the experience differs if you're out of warranty.

I'm having this exact issue. Any luck fixing the issue?
After going back and forth with verizon I got down to 2 options. Send to LG and pay for repairs or take Verizon's offer of early upgrade on device payments. I got that offer thru chat. I told the girl if she wasn't tech support to let me know how to get one. She said she was so I told her to let me explain everything first. Then she said short of sending it to LG I did everything. So then she gave me that offer.
I'm not happy about it but had to do something.
I got the LG G5 and like it but hate it. This only seems to charge to 90% over night then stops charging. I have only got it to charge to 100% maybe 4 times total in the 11 days I have had it.

It just pops right with a flat head or a pry tool.
When I extract the tot with BoardDiag, everything goes swimmingly, but when I try to start eh AP check and EMMC test, it says "There is no partition file (rawprogram0.xml)."
Any clue as to how to fix it?

Can you verify if where BoardDiag extracted the partitions from the TOT that the "rawprogram0.xml" files actually does exist or doesn't? It creates some partition file (can't recall if that's the correct name) when it extracts the TOT. I assume that's the same name as the one it creates.

By saying that you had no download mode, did you mean that the screen was black when you attempted to go into download mode? Or did you mean that you tried using the LG Flash Tool with no success? I was in the same situation as you were (flashing Jasmine Rom on the 35b bootstrap and getting a black screen even when the device was powered on) and I didn't want to unscrew the phone to get into the motherboard. Luckily, I was able to unbrick using the "downgrade to 10b method" by @LASERWOLF452 which I will link. So I attempted to get into the download mode, but the screen was black. However, my phone was recognized as the "LGE Mobile For VZW" in the device manager. From here, I was able to follow the downgrade guide, and while the screen stayed black for the entire process, the display miraculously showed the LG logo at the "waiting for reset" part of the flash tool at around 85%. Then everything went as usual, with me only having to do the battery pull when the screen displayed "factory reset status 3". Upon turning the phone back on, it booted normally into the setup wizard. However, the flash tool took a very long time to finish up, taking 1277 seconds instead of the usual 150-180 second time.
Tl;dr: Tried putting your LG G3 into download mode only to get a screen that shows absolutely nothing? If your device is properly recognized by your device manager as "LGE Mobile For VZW", then your download mode should still be working and you can follow the steps for the downgrade method to get your phone back up and running.

Note to users: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage done to your device. I did this on my phone and it worked just fine. Any damages done to the device is your fault. Please make sure to follow the steps carefully.
This is a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F without TWRP. I've included a backup stock firmware in case you soft-brick your device.
BACKUP STOCK FIRMWARE FOR SOFT-BRICKED DEVICES:
In case you have soft-bricked your device by doing this tutorial incorrectly, download the stock firmware HERE and follow this guide to re-flash your phone, HERE. Do not attempt to root your device again unless you know what you're doing this time.
I also recommend completely backing up your device after successful root - click here to find out how.
WARNINGS:
1. You will have to WIPE ALL YOUR DATA in order to complete this tutorial.
2. You are at a very high risk of screwing up your device if you proceed ahead with this tutorial. Please make sure you know what you are doing, and that you have knowledge of re-flashing your phone. I am not responsible.
Requirements:
1. A Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F device;
2. PC;
3. An USB cable;
4. Odin v3.12.7 - Download Here;
5. SuperSU .tar file - Download Here;
6. ADB - Download Here.
Instructions:
1. Download Odin on your PC from the link above, and extract everything from the archive to C:\ODIN (create a new folder);
2. Download the SuperSU .tar file from the link above and place it in your C:\ODIN folder. DON'T extract this archive;
3. Download ADB from the link above and extract the contents of the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
4. Make sure USB Debugging AND OEM Unlock are ENABLED in Settings --> Developer Options on your phone. If you don't know how to activate Developer Options, check this out. After you've enabled these, connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC.
Note: If the phone tells you an access request is being received from your PC's fingerprint, accept it.
6. Open ADB on your computer by going to a Command Prompt, and typing cd C:\ADB;
7. Type adb devices to make sure your phone has been detected by ADB, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. In the Command Prompt, type adb reboot recovery and press enter to reboot your phone into Recovery Mode;
9. Once your phone has booted into Recovery Mode, select the Wipe data/factory reset, and then select Yes when it asks for confirmation:
(Note: THIS STEP IS MANDATORY. If you don't wipe your data, the encryption on your phone will remain and you will be unable to root your phone.)
10. After you've wiped your data, BOOT DIRECTLY INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM RECOVERY MODE. You can do this by holding down Volume Down + Home Key + Power Button WHILE STILL IN THE RECOVERY MENU.
Important Note: Ideally, you should still be in the recovery menu after doing a factory reset. Then do the instructions above to enter Download Mode. If you reboot AND THEN go to Download Mode, this method won't work, because your encryption will be put in place again and your phone will become unrootable. Please do the above steps with caution.
11. Hold the buttons down. If you did everything correctly, you should see a screen like this pop up:
12. Press the Volume Up button to proceed to the flashing section. You should see this screen:
13. Now, make sure that the USB cable is still connected to your phone. Open ODIN on your PC, and click on the AP button, then select the SuperSU archive that you downloaded. Make sure that your phone is detected, Odin has to say "Added!!" in the log to the right. If it doesn't say that, re-connect your USB cable to your phone, or switch the USB port on your PC. Then press Start to begin flashing SuperSU and rooting your phone:
14. After Odin has finished flashing your phone, it should say PASS! at the top left of the window, under it's name. Your phone will reboot automatically.
15. Once your phone has rebooted, you should be greeted by the usual setup screen that happens when you factory reset your device. Set up the settings as normal, and install SuperSU from the Play Store HERE once the phone is set up. (This is VERY important.)
16. After you've installed SuperSU, download Titanium Backup from the Play Store, and uninstall the system app "Knox" and everything with "Knox" in their name, and also uninstall "Device Security". They could mess with your boot and spam you with "Unauthorized Action" notification. You don't need them anyway -- once you're rooted, those two don't work anymore.
And that's it!
Your phone should be rooted now! I recommend installing Root Checker to see if you have done everything correctly. It should return this result if so:
Thanks for reading my tutorial! I hope it has helped you root your phone. If you did everything correctly, you should be rooted now. If you have soft-bricked your device and your phone is stuck on the Samsung boot logo, please download the included backup firmware and re-flash your phone, and do not attempt to root your phone again.
Hit the "Thanks!" button if my guide helped you!
Please leave any problems you might have in the comments, and don't be immature. I will not help people with a bad attitude. As I said, if you **** up, it's your problem and I am not responsible. But I will still try to help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendations (Optional):
I recommend the following root-only apps to enhance your rooted experience.
1. Titanium Backup - Must-have app for rooted users. Useful in debloating your phone, freezing apps (hiding them from app drawer and disabling them - even system apps), backing up apps and more.
2. FlashFire - Useful for completely backing up your phone, flashing your phone with ZIPs, restoring backups and more.
3. Link2SD - Useful for moving apps to the SD card or to the Internal Storage, and more.
4. Greenify - Greenify working in root mode is the best battery saving app there is. It hibernates the apps that you don't use so that you can get the most out of your battery.
5. ES File Manager PRO - The perfect file manager. It lets you back up your apps, has a root explorer function, can let you see hidden files, lets you create shortcuts to any file on your home screen, and much more. There is a free version too, but I strongly recommend the PRO version.
Note: You guys can leave root-only apps in the replies as well, I didn't include a full list of them, obviously, so you guys can help people finding the apps they need to enhance their newly unlocked root experience.
If you want me to send you a list of safe to uninstall system apps, PM me.
Quick extra tip: To disable the ugly white frames for icons in the TouchWiz Home launcher, go to Settings -> Display -> Icon Frames and choose Icons Only.
Many thanks for this great guide.
I have two questions: if we root, do we lose the ability to encrypt our phones and use secure folders? Also, do we lose the ability to use NFC?

14. After Odin has finished flashing your phone, it should say PASS! at the top left of the window, under it's name. Your phone will reboot automatically.
15. Once your phone has rebooted, you should be greeted by the usual setup screen that happens when you factory reset your device. Set up the settings as normal, and install SuperSU from the Play Store HERE once the phone is set up. (This is VERY important.)
16. After you've installed SuperSU, download Titanium Backup from the Play Store, and uninstall the system app "Knox" and everything with "Knox" in their name, and also uninstall "Device Security". They could mess with your boot and spam you with "Unauthorized Action" notification. You don't need them anyway -- once you're rooted, those two don't work anymore.
And that's it!
Your phone should be rooted now! I recommend installing Root Checker to see if you have done everything correctly. It should return this result if so:
Thanks for reading my tutorial! I hope it has helped you root your phone. If you did everything correctly, you should be rooted now. If you have soft-bricked your device and your phone is stuck on the Samsung boot logo, please download the included backup firmware and re-flash your phone, and do not attempt to root your phone again.
Hit the "Thanks!" button if my guide helped you!
Please leave any problems you might have in the comments, and don't be immature. I will not help people with a bad attitude. As I said, if you **** up, it's your problem and I am not responsible. But I will still try to help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendations (Optional):
I recommend the following root-only apps to enhance your rooted experience.
1. Titanium Backup - Must-have app for rooted users. Useful in debloating your phone, freezing apps (hiding them from app drawer and disabling them - even system apps), backing up apps and more.
2. FlashFire - Useful for completely backing up your phone, flashing your phone with ZIPs, restoring backups and more.
3. Link2SD - Useful for moving apps to the SD card or to the Internal Storage, and more.
4. Greenify - Greenify working in root mode is the best battery saving app there is. It hibernates the apps that you don't use so that you can get the most out of your battery.
5. ES File Manager PRO - The perfect file manager. It lets you back up your apps, has a root explorer function, can let you see hidden files, lets you create shortcuts to any file on your home screen, and much more. There is a free version too, but I strongly recommend the PRO version.
Note: You guys can leave root-only apps in the replies as well, I didn't include a full list of them, obviously, so you guys can help people finding the apps they need to enhance their newly unlocked root experience.
If you want me to send you a list of safe to uninstall system apps, PM me.
Quick extra tip: To disable the ugly white frames for icons in the TouchWiz Home launcher, go to Settings -> Display -> Icon Frames and choose Icons Only.

Hi,
I search the recovery.img of Oukitel K10.
I have make OEM Unlock, and I can get fastboot.
I have find many fake websites to hot to do this, but realy don't trust (last time I have brick my K10000 Pro).
The better way is now to "fastboot boot test.img" and see if my phone boot before flash anything.
But I dont find a recvery.img who boot my phone
I have the "fake" ROM (I search inside, and it's seem match as mine)
The other problem is SP flash tools don't want to get me my NVRAM ...
Anyone have root is K10 ? (I have a brick until my device is not root, I don't use it in stock ROM !)
So I finaly test the "normal" way, whit the SP Flash tool method, and it's works.
I don't know why, when I fastboot the image, the phone won't boot, but whith flashtools, it's works.
I have now My Oukitel K10 rooted, and cleaned
So, what did you use to root it?
Yea can u tell us how you did it atep by step. My flashlight its not working andi cant hear a thing on Bluetooth... Need to root this.. or someone else knows how to fix it?
I actually found a step-by-step guide here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-oukitel-k10/
But, i got stuck at downloading the image over my phone,.... i never get green light after flashing....
The phone functions normal, after... because nothing flashed i guess...
And that guide is incomplete, you need to first disable digitally signed drivers check, otherwise the preloader won't work at all...
Did anyone else try it?
What do you guys get?
Mind to share your knowledge? How you obtain your Oukitel K10 rooted cleaned?
I've got this phone today. Here is my quick root procedure.
1. Prepare a magnifiying glass for reading messages on your phone.
2. Download SuperSU (ZIP) and TWRP for oukitel k10.
This one works for me (OKITEL_K10_V121_20180112).
3. Reboot to bootloader.
VOL-DOWN+POWER
4. Unlock bootloader. It will destroy /data now.
fastboot oem unlock
# VOL-UP confirm
5. Reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader again.
6. Flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Reboot to recovery
# Hold VOL-UP
fastboot reboot
8. Format /data again
because no one knows password
9. Install SuoperSU.zip
Advanced - sideload -swipe # <-- on phone
adb sideload SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip # <-- on computer
10. Reboot to system, setup and install SuperSU from market.
Now you should have root.

Anyone know how install cleaned rom?
I keep getting bootloops as soon as I try to flash Magisk. I have no trouble flashing and starting up TWRP, but after flashing I can´t reboot to system. I also get the warning from my Pc when I connect my phone that it doesn´t recognize it. It reboots fine if I don´t flash anything. Any help? I also tried the steps on page 1 (Bootloader is successfully unlocked).
SuperSu works, but fails Safety Net, that´s why I want Magisk.

Hey there and sorry for the late response. What steps did you do so far? Is your bootloader unlocked already? Or are you at the start and this is your first try? If it is your first try, here is a step by step guide on what to do and what you will need.
What you need:
1. The SP Flash Tool and its drivers. You can find them on the Oukitel website or in the internet. Search for SP Flash Tool and download the latest. For the drivers it´s best to get them from Oukitel. Lower right side of their website and then click Latest software Rom and choose the K10.
2. The adb and fastboot drivers. Search them on the internet.
3. Your Smartphone.
4. A computer and the data cable.
5. The SuperSU 2.82 S3 files from chainfire. Again, search them on the internet.
6. The TWRP Image from this thread.
If you have everything, you do the following:
1. If you have used your phone already, safe everything you want to keep on your computer! You will have to erase your data at least once in the process!
2. Turn your phone on and go to settings.
3. Then tap on About your phone and scroll all the way down to see its build number.
4. Tap on that 7 times in a row to get the message: Congratulations you are now a developer. Go back to the settings to see a new option, the developer options.
5. Go to the developer options and tap on allow oem unlock and also tap on enable debugging options.
6. Leave the settings and connect your phone to your computer. Push the SuperSU file to your sd card (Magisk unfortunately does not seem to work and results in a bootloop at least for me).
7. On your computer, go to the folder where you saved the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Hold shift and open a power shell or command window in there (don´t actually know the steps for a Mac or Linux computer, sry).
8. Now type adb devices and confirm the access on your phone. If your phone doesn´t show up or there is no confirmation message on your phone, type adb kill-server and then adb devices.
9. Once your phone is confirmed, you type adb reboot-bootloader.
10. Now type fastboot oem unlock and press the volume up button on your phone to confirm the bootloader unlock.
11. Your phone will now erase your data (internal storage only, your sd card will not be touched, but may need to be set up and formatted again if it was used to extend the internal storage).
12. On your computer, type fastboot reboot and set up your phone again (just the basics, because you will have to erase it again). Don´t forget to turn on the debugging mode again.
13. Open up the SP Flash Tool on your computer and choose the scatter file from the twrp image (custom recovery). Only recovery should be ticked. Hit the download all button, connect your phone to computer and turn off the phone. Now wait till there is a green hook on your computer. This means, the download has been successfull.
14. Get to recovery mode on your phone by holding the volume up and power button at the same time and choose the first option, then hit the volume down button to enter recovery mode.
15. From here, go to the settings in the upper right corner and choose your language (ignore the message of the password and hit back).
16. Now go to Wipe and format your data.
17. Hit the restart button and press Recovery. Allow it to modify the system and pull the slider.
18. Now go to Install, choose your sd card and press SuperSU. Let it run through the process. Then restart and press system. First time the boot may take a while, so be patient.
19. Set up the phone and enjoy your root.
Magisk 17.1
Magisk 17.1 install AS IS, no warranty, no testing (yet).
!!! You can lose your data or brick your phone !!!
0. Don't try default install or upgrade via MagiskManager - you'll get bootloop.
1. You can try this boot-magisk.img (AIK repacked with force encryption and dm-verity enabled).
It works for me, but I did factory reset before trying.
- boot.img comes from OUKITEL_K10_V12_20180112.rar (I'm not sure about file's source)
fastboot flash boot boot-magisk.img
2. If your phone freeze on Oukitel logo, don't touch it. Wait.
If you stop phone here, you'll lose your data.
There is no way back - it starts data encryption.
3. If it fails, try flashing stock boot back and factory reset your phone.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That modified boot.img did the trick. What did you modify to make it work?
The forced encryption, however, is annoying. Is there a possibility to undo that?

I have just replaced the link of the lineage os with a new working from google drive.
Could you point out where that LineageOS ROM is coming from or was this created by you?
Looking for a working LineageOS version for an LG H420. (H422 should be the same hardware judging from reading through most ROM threads so far)
