Here the guides in MINIX forum :
1.) Download the firmware package (.rar)
For example, FW005 full system image with PC upgrade tool:
http://www.minixforum.com/downloads/download.php?file=U1_FW010.rar
MD5 checksum: 0055D63C0EAFBF62DB5830E30E277ECB
2.) Verify the MD5 checksum of the downloaded package matches with the checksum we provided,
free tool: http://www.winmd5.com/download/winmd5free.zip
verified.jpg
3.) Extract the package, you will get the firmware image (.img) & the burning tool
4.) Install the new USB burning tool which is already included in the package (choose English at the beginning, if necessary)
install1.jpg
Choose "Install anyway" when system prompts for driver installation
install2.jpg
4a.) Launch the USB burning tool
tool1.jpg
5.) Connect the Micro USB cable supplied with the box between the OTG port of the box and your computer
(Windows based);
6.) On U1, power up the device from OFF state by pressing and holding the power button for 6 seconds ,
no other button is necessary to get into flashing (recovery) mode.
7.) Upon successful connection the "Connect success" message will be displayed inside the application
8.) Load the firmware image by selecting "File -> Import image"
9.) After loading, the 1st and 2nd box of "Configuration", "Erase flash" (Normal erase) and "Erase bootloader", should be checked by default.
If you want the machine to restart immediately after flashing, check the "Reset after success" option as well.
Then, click "Start" to start flashing
10.) The upgrade process will take approximately 2-3 minutes, the last 5-10% takes longer time to complete,
and you MUST make sure the power can NOT be disconnected during the upgrade (of course also the OTG cable) or your box could become a brick
11.) Upon successful upgrade, the application will display the message "Burning successfully"
then it's safe to unplug the power (and also the OTG! otherwise it will start to burn again after repower on if the USB burning tool is still running )
and connect your hub back to the TV for 1st start (which is also very important and takes some minutes);
So about 1st start:
It's very important that you DO NOT cut the power off from the hub during the 1st start,
since preloaded apps. will be installed in the background, if you power it off in the middle of the installation, some preloaded apps. might be missing.
NOTE: Always use the "Normal erase" option

I've got this new MyPhone A858 Duo, a dual-sim phone with 1Ghz processor from the Philippines.
I've tried rooting it using SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0, UnlockRoot 2.3.1 and Gingerbreak, but it seems that all failed in rooting this new android phone.
Any idea how to root this phone will be greatly appreciated.

I've heard this works for other people. With my phone it doesn't. When I plug it in, it doesn't show an unknown device. I've already downloaded and installed MT65xx Preloader and tried out a VCom, but still nothing. I've been going at it for a week, so if anyone's got an answer, advice would be great. Thanks!

After flashing the tablet is not charging, does not turn on the computer is not detected. The solution for such bricks include:
1. Remove the back cover plate.
2. Turning off the power connector.
3. Unpack firmware somewhere on your computer.
4. Turn SP Flash Tool 5.14 and set the path to the file from a folder with MT6582_Android_scatter unpacked firmware (see para. 3)
5. Expose setting Format All + Download and hit Download.
6. Hold down the Volume + pressed connect the USB and wait until the flashing process will start. (The buttons do not go!)
7. As soon as you see a yellow band of interest on the firmware download, you can release the Volume + and wait for the end of the process.
8. After the firmware disable USB, connect the power connector of the battery and turn our device for verification.
9. Put the cover back.
As I said, flashing a site Ainol not work and leads to a brick (3 times sewed, 3 times okirpichil). I solved this problem by replacing preloader.bin of the new version on preloader.bin from the previous version, which is stitched without any problems, and then packed RABOCHUYUYU latest firmware for our tablet did re-initialization of memory + 2GB USRDATA (instead of 1 GB for applications will be allocated 2 GB and there is no fault with the lack of space). Spread the firmware for the members of the forum.
To flash mode Firmware Uprade through SP Flash Tool (for those who okirpichil: see. The instructions above)
Do not forget to make backup NVRAM!

Hello all,
I have a Z2 on MM with 23.5.A.1.291 firmware. I want to root and install a custom recovery and have looked at the threads on here about it but I'm pretty confused! None of the various options seem to be up to date, or stable, or understandable.
This thread seems to be the most up-to-date, but the instructions are pretty vague, files seem to be missing, and quite a few people seem to have had problems with it.
Can anyone explain the simplest, safest way to root the Z2 on the latest firware? Or at least help me make head-nor-tail of the existing instructions...
Many thanks

Download .314 ftf (or any rootable ftf for z2)
Then search for dual recovery for Xperia z2 and download the last version
And download Xperia root kit
1. Flash the ftf file that you have downloaded
2. Root it using Xperia rootkit(usb debugging must be on)
3. Install dual recovery using your pc
Thats it now you have root and recovery
I followed the guide you linked to and everything worked perfectly! As long as all files are available, I would do this again. Be sure to follow the directions exactly and you'll be fine.
Whatever you do, DON'T try to flash Nut's Dual Recovery on MM, because you'll then be in a continuous bootloop at the Sony logo; don't ask me how I know this! ;>)

I've read through that entire thread pretty much and still haven't found clear step by step instructions :/
I've downloaded the flashtool but don't know what to do now: there is no option to 'flash' or select a file..
Surely someone out there is able to write a clear, full, step-by-step guide to root this very popular phone..?
I've rooted many different phones and installed plenty of ROMs but never found so much confusing information before!
IDIOTS GUIDE Root and TWRP
Okay, may as well do it my self...
IDIOT'S GUIDE: (for Z2 Marshmallow .291)
1. Firstly go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6aEcBP7FwsWUGpQdHdvaVRCQlk/view and download the .291 kernel.
2. Then download SuperSU from here.
3. Put both these files on your phone's SD card.
4. Next download the .575 kernel here.
5. Before this can be used, you need to change it from a .zip file to a .ftf file.
- Go to the file location in the file browser.
- Click on the 'View' section in the top ribbon (Win 10).
- Check 'file name extensions' in the 'show/hide' section.
- Rename the kernel file, deleting the .zip and replacing it with .ftf instead at the end.
6. Download the Recovery for MM from here.
Extract the zip file.
7. Download the correct drivers for your phone: simplest way seems to be by installing Sony PC Companion and connecting your device.
8. Download and install 'Flashtool' from here. (The 0.9.18.6 version seems to have better compatibility).
9. Install the drivers for the flash- if you are on windows 10 or 8 you will need to turn off driver signing first:
A) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
- This will take you to the advanced boot menu.
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machineTo install the drivers you need to go to the Flashtool install folder (e.g. C:\Flashtool) and go in to the 'drivers' folder and run the 'flashtool-drivers.exe'.
- From the menu select Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers, and then scroll down and select Xperia Z2 device drivers (not sure if this last one is necessary if you've done step 7 previously, but I did it and everything worked.)
- Click install, and click okay on the warning messages.
10. Enable developer options on your phone (repeatedly tap on build number in 'About phone' in settings.)
Then make sure that USB Debugging is enabled, and in 'Security' that 'Allow Unknown Sources' is enabled.
11. Back up vital data (though you shouldn't loose anything), then power your phone off with it not connected to the computer.
12. Startup Flashtool and let it update etc.
13. While holding the volume down button on your phone, connect it to your PC.
Flashtool should respond and spew out a few lines of text ending with something like 'Phone ready for flashmode operations'.
14. Click on the lightning bolt, select 'Flashmode', and then in the next window browse to the location of the .575 .ftf kernel file you made. Select it, then click 'flash' at the bottom right. There should be more lines of text hopefully showing that this is completed successfully.
15. Close Flashtool, disconnect your phone, then turn on your phone.
16. Flash the recovery: Reconnect your phone to the PC and select MSC mode.
Go to the unzipped recovery and run 'install.bat' as administrator (if that doesn't work try not as administrator).
If the window that opens up stays on 'starting daemon...' for a while check on your phone as you may need to authorize the 'unknown source' connection from the PC.
The installation should complete with a 'press any key to continue'. Your phone should then automatically reboot in to TWRP recovery.
17. Install SuperSU: Once in TWRP go to 'Install' and select the SuperSU zip (you may need to select 'storage' and choose your SD card first). Swipe to install!
18. Reinstall the .291 kernel: still in TWRP do basically the same as for SuperSU but this time with the MM .291 zip.
19. Cross your fingers and reboot!
20. All being well you are now rooted, you can check root by installing 'Root Checker' form the play store.
21. Open a beer and relax!
(22. Install Cyberian camera!)
Please give me some thanks if I have helped you!
I will post this as a new thread as well so it's easier to find.

Hello all,
First of all, I'm posting this here just cause I can't find a thread describing this situation.
***I'M NOT the owner/creator of any file here and is not that easy to find it.
***I'M NOT responsible for any casualities that leads to a bricket phone or else.
***Make sure that you have a backup of all your data that you want to keep.
***On the download link you can find all the files mentioned below.
I advice that if you try to push the recovery.img from others releases, may result a boot loop.
READ ALL THIS THREAD BEFORE START TO DO.
HOW TO SOLVE THE LOOP:
- Run or Install SamFirm software;
- Write the model number and set the region. (You will need to google a little to find out what's the name of yours, mine is ZTO -> Brazil).
- You can fill all the boxes or can check "Auto" to skip it. ("auto" always worked to me).
- And than, click on "Check Update".
***Your mobile don't need to be plugged to do the research.
- If the software find a firmware, UNcheck the option "Check CRC32".
- Download and Decrypt throught the software.
On the download link you can find the release that worked to me, but first, try to find from your region.
BEFORE MAKING MODIFICATIONS, IS NECESSARY TO GO TO (IF IT POSSIBLE):
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK AND USB DEBUGGING FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
- Using any version of Odin v3.09 or higher, connect the device on Download mode and select the firmware on "AP" slot, uncheck the Auto Reboot in Options and hit the start.
- When the flashing finishes, Odin will show a message in green "PASS", remove the battery and unplug the USB cable.
- Reinsert the battery and restart the phone normally.
- Try to use it for how about 20 minutes, letting the update finishes all background tasks. The phone will be very slow but don't worry.
- Restart again when the updates finishes and wait for more 20 minutes with the phone unlocked.
You should pay attention to the battery level after every system reboot.
- Now you are able to flash the recovery.tar.
To install TWRP:
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode.
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the "recovery.tar" into the AP slot and hit start.
When the flashing finishes, Odin will show a message in green "PASS", remove the battery and unplug the USB cable.
Reinsert the battery and press Vol UP + Home + Power Button till the TeamWin Appears.
DON'T do nothing, just restart again after that.
Reboot again in the Recovery mode and install the SuperSU.zip. MUST TO BE 2.82v or higher, if not, you will need to start over.
*** Don't wipe any cache after install the SuperSU.

Hi community.
I have SM-A115F/DSN (Galaxy A11) running Android-10.
Can I root it and, if so, how?
Maybe someone has already rooted the same device.
I am a beginner and I need a complete step-by-step method. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your answer. Yep, I have seen this site. I even left a comment there that instruction contains a broken link. You can use your mouse wheel (if using desktop) or swipe down (if using smartphone) to scroll down to see comments there. They fixed the issue, but they still have instructions that does not work. I apologize for mistrusting your link, but I am afraid to follow the incorrect instructions on this site. Since people say that this can lead to the fact that the phone stops working at all. No offense.

Hello mate. I have the SM-A115F. Here's my guide how to get ROOT with Magisk!!!!!!!!!!
I'm aware you that you will loose all your data on your phone because you need to unlock bootloader.
If you're assept with that prepare for root
BE CARE FULL I'M RUSSIAN AND WORK WITH RUSSIAN VERSION OF FIRMWARE, SOME STRINGS MAY BE DIFFERENT. I TRY MY BEST TO TRANSLATE 'EM CORRECTLY, BUT NEVERTHELESS!!!!!!
You must do it with follow steps:
a) Preparig^
You need to get this software:
1. ADB and Fastboot.
2. Odin.
3. Fresh firmware (I'd used SamFirm, also it's required to install Visual C++ Redist: 2008, 2012, 2015 (x86 & x64))
4. Magisk Manager (APK)
-----------------------------------------
First steps:
a) Make phone backup!
b) Remove all google accounts!!!!!!!!!
c) Enable Developer Settings menu: Settings -> About phone -> Build Number (click over that menu 8 times and enter your password)
d) Navigate to Developer Settings -> Enable OEM Unlock and also Enable ADB (Enable Debuging)
e) TURN OFF YOUR PHONE and then wait for 5 - 8 seconds.
----------------------------------------
Unlocking Bootloader:
a) Plug your ORIGINAL USB THAT COMES WITH BOX OF YOUR PHONE to PC and NOT TO PHONE.
b) When you'll be ready: Press and hold Volume + and Volume - buttons AND PLUG USB (still hold volumes butttons).
c) after 2 or 3 seconds you'll see a blue screen where 1st position log press Volume + for unlocking -> Make it so!
d) you had long press Volume +, now system ask a comfirmation Perss Power Button.
e) When you've done you'll get clean and not vergin android phone with unlocked bootloader!
f) Make a first setup of your phone. When you've done repeat unlocking of Developer Settings and check slider of OEM Unlock IT MUST BE GRAY if so you really had unlocked your phone. If not you're failed!
----------------------------------------
Get Root:
Required:
1. Odin
2. SamFirm and Visual C++ Redist: 2008, 2012, 2015 (x86 & x64)
3. ADB
4. 7-ZIp Archive manager
a) Start SamFirm. settings up application by typing: Model: "SM-A115F" and regian (in my case "SER" = Russia, all data not required a double quotes AND checkout that checkbox "Auto" is selected)
b) After presetin' begin of downloadin' and decrypting of fiemware (you'll get a archive)
c) In firmware archive we must find file with prefix "AP_".
d) Open it with 7-Zip
e) We must extract from there a file "boot.img.lz4"
f) Now We must pack that file into .tar archive. As result we'll get "boot.img.lz4.tar"

No wiping during process
I already backed up everything but I don't want to wipe my storage. Losing data by accident is one thing but when it is part of the process I just can't do it.
So how do I root my a11 samsung galaxy without losing data and obviously bricking the device?
Feel free to email me.
I also don't have access to a pc currently but may buy one in the coming weeks.

Bootloader wipes the storage for some reason. How do I prevent this and still root my device?
The thought of a wiped drive/phone almost triggers a panic attack even if everything that I want is backed up.

You don't need to unlock phone's boot-loader etc.pp in order to root its Android. Look inside here.

Actually that won't work for me because I have android 10. Samsung Galaxy a11. Also how can I upload a screenshot of my device information?
Is there a number I can call for technical support in regards to rooting. I am in California USA.

Hello mate. I have the SM-A115F. Here's my guide how to get ROOT with Magisk!!!!!!!!!!
I'm aware you that you will loose all your data on your phone because you need to unlock bootloader.
If you're assept with that prepare for root
BE CARE FULL I'M RUSSIAN AND WORK WITH RUSSIAN VERSION OF FIRMWARE, SOME STRINGS MAY BE DIFFERENT. I TRY MY BEST TO TRANSLATE 'EM CORRECTLY, BUT NEVERTHELESS!!!!!!
You must do it with follow steps:

You need to get this software:

3. Fresh firmware (I'd used SamFirm, also it's required to install Visual C++ Redist: 2008, 2012, 2015 (x86 & x64))
4. Magisk Manager (APK)
-----------------------------------------
First steps:
a) Make phone backup!
b) Remove all google accounts!!!!!!!!!
c) Enable Developer Settings menu: Settings -> About phone -> Build Number (click over that menu 8 times and enter your password)
d) Navigate to Developer Settings -> Enable OEM Unlock and also Enable ADB (Enable Debuging)
e) TURN OFF YOUR PHONE and then wait for 5 - 8 seconds.
----------------------------------------
Unlocking Bootloader:
a) Plug your ORIGINAL USB THAT COMES WITH BOX OF YOUR PHONE to PC and NOT TO PHONE.
b) When you'll be ready: Press and hold Volume + and Volume - buttons AND PLUG USB (still hold volumes butttons).
c) after 2 or 3 seconds you'll see a blue screen where 1st position log press Volume + for unlocking -> Make it so!
d) you had long press Volume +, now system ask a comfirmation Perss Power Button.
e) When you've done you'll get clean and not vergin android phone with unlocked bootloader!
f) Make a first setup of your phone. When you've done repeat unlocking of Developer Settings and check slider of OEM Unlock IT MUST BE GRAY if so you really had unlocked your phone. If not you're failed!

Also had the same question. Did you manage to root yours? NB: On Android 11
A11 on Android 11. Have tried every method online and for the life of me can not root my A11 without getting boot loops nor can I successfully flash TWRP..
Any tips...
