I recently bought a HAFURY UMAX made by Cubot and i've been trying to find a way to root it and install a custom recovery. I've tried most of the methods that I could find on google like Kingroot, etc.
I haven't been able to find anything compatible because its a pretty obscure phone.
Any help would be awesome!
No information yet
I have been searching for this since my phone arrived and there's no clue about rotting it yet. Maybe installing another ROM but I'm not into cooking ROMs yet.
root software -- Cubot max <-> Hafury Umax
You can find a rooting software for Umax here. It woks on Max and Umax (URL is without :// for I am not allowed to submit URLs)- http guideroot.net/cubot-max-download-android-8-0-o-firmware-nougat-7
Best regards
Axel
I also need root for this device. Is there any kind people who can port twrp? Any help would be most appreciated thanks

TWRP: https://www.needrom.com/category/cubot/max/
After flashing TWRP you could then install Magisk which will give you root.
Have you managed to unlock your bootloader (although it is not necessary to install TWRP using SP Flash Tool) ?
Thank you for your help however the link you posted is for a cubot Max and I need twrp for cubot hafury umax. I don't think the twrp would work for the umax? As I think they have different chips mine is MT6580 and the max is MT6753A
Tried every app for rooting with no success.
I have downloaded every app and program that claimed to root nougat devices (RootKHP too, but it's just a bad coded virus) and I haven't been lucky yet. I have also done the "manual method"(adb push and then moving those files to /system) but this phone it's not exploitable in that way either. Maybe, compilling TWRP and installing it is the key, but HAFURY doesn't give any help to do so (as usual). I sent them emails, asking for help because of the bugs and also asking for the ROM itself. No luck. They claim to be preparing an update or something that will be released in the official cubot forum... but in that forum there isn't any entry about this phone.
Looks like HAFURY will not give a damn and, probably, will shut down in a time. They KNOW that this phone works faulty ( touch-screen problems, Wi-Fi unstable), but they are not doing anything.
I will not buy another phone from them nor from a chinese manufacturer. I have learnt.
I will try to buy a One Plus One as soon as I have money.
I too sent an email asking about an update and this is the reply I received. Dear Sir/Madam,
Sorry there is no update in the near future, the schedule of it has not been connected, you can keep an eye on our forum, thanks!
So it looks like cubot don't care about there customers
There is an update ROM on cubot forum.
Now we have access to ROM an recovery maybe we cud compile twrp?
What I found so far about the Update
As Stumbag said a couple of days ago, Cubot released an update for the HAFURY UMAX. I downloaded it as soon as I found it and, first of all, don't expect nothing. The only change I noticed is the build name, everything else is like the older version. The Wifi is still unstable, the touchscreen still requires to lock and unlock for working fine when it doesn't detect the touches and still, no root for this phone. I searched for a way to root a ROM before installing it but no luck yet. Also, I extracted the system.img and I haven't found weird packages, as I said, there's nothing different from the older build. What I noticed is a weird file called "recovery_rootcheck.bin" allocated in /data/ that contains other 3 files but I cannot read them properly. Screenshots included:
The location of the file: //i.imgur.com/FW9VAKi.png
The code of the file: //i.imgur.com/mNSpCgW.png
I dumped the older ROM before installing the new, but I am not sure I have done it well but, anyway, I have the dump file.
I will keep searching a way to compile TWRP but I have zero experience on compilling so I don't think I will archieve it.
So, CUBOT has released the ROM as an Update.
Guys. I did it. I compied a TWRP Recovery for the HAFURY UMAX. It works but the stock recovery is being reinstalled after a reboot. Tomorrow I will fix it and I will write a tutorial for installing TWRP and a rooted ROM I did. It's slightly different from the stock ROM (I removed bloatware, deodexed every package, zipaligned, changed the bootanimation and a few more things for making the phone truly free). The ROM is being uploaded to my GDrive right now.
Expect a new Thread tomorrow about installing TWRP and this Custom ROM.
Well done nekuake ?
Could you point me in the right direction for the twrp? Thanks
It doesn't work yet.
It doesn't work. The TWRP I compiled doesn't recognize the phone's partitions. I'm waiting for the reply of HAFURY/CUBOT, because if they send me the device tree, it would be quite easy because I know what to do next.

They didn't give a damn. Now, I am working in other things (university and that stuff). As soon as I have time again, I will try to use another device tree and adapt it to this phone.
Also, you shouldn't have bought this phone. You will see a lot of bugs that WON'T be fixed. HAFURY/CUBOT have a ridiculous support.

that sucks,yea i kind of regret getting this phone,and i hope you make some future progress with it when you have the time.I'm wondering is there any way to access the internal storage from explorer? i can only see the sd card for some reason and the mobigo app it comes with has the option to root but doesn't do anything but restart the phone

They released the phone ROM while ago: forum[dot]cubot[dot]net/viewtopic.php?t=1495
You can extract the system.img and take a look inside the System partition.

I've tried to use ported 6580 TWRP 3.1.1 and TWRP from Cubot Rainbow 2, it doesn't cause any bootloop but doesn't seems to work either
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-unofficial-custom-recovery-mt6580-t3505687
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-1-0-jemmini/
Both use the same mediatech however, I have no ****ing idea how to boot in TWRP, I've tried the **cubot max (DO NOT TRY)** that used something else then MT6580 and it gave me a bootloop, soo whoever said Max equal with UMax **** him
I'm trying other TWRPs
Well, i haven't tried to compile TWRP again because Cubot/Hafury doesn't want to give me any of the files I requested (as I though). I will mirror the repo of OMNI and, well, pray a little the next time I try to compile it.
For the moment, I have tried to use any of the TWRPs there are in the Internet of similar phones. They haven't work. The phones I tried were Infinix Hot 5 and Infinix Hot 5 Lite. Please, people, try things like I'm doing and we will have TWRP and Root soon.
Hi IV tried doogee X5 and some others but haven't worked I will keep trying come on peeps we can do this

Hello all!
So after much careful consideration I've decided to post this thread.
This thread is for all those people with the Goophone that isn't like the others. The ugly duckling - so to speak.
I purchased a goophone i5 from "efit" from dhgate.com after watching mayianjay's Youtube videos.
http://www.dhgate.com/goophone-i5-m...oid-4/p-ff8080813a071f7b013a594a682b5965.html
Unfortunately the phone WASN'T the same as mayianjay's and NONE of his rom's work with this particular model, even further I couldn't find a CWM or TWRP recovery.img anywhere on the internet that was compatible with this phone, so I thought I'd help out my new friends of XDA and provide you guys with as much information as possible.
The phone model information is as follows (according to Android System Info.apk).
Android Version: 4.2.1
CPU: MT6575
CPU Hardware: MT6577
CPU HardwareP1: MT6575
Resolution: 480 x 854
DPI: 240
Brand: MZ
Device: E939
Model:iphone 5
Now, if this is what your phone looks like then I have good news for you - as you are almost certainly wondering where to find a recovery.img - See the attachment below. You will need flash tools which you can downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=10599596, alternatively you can try using MobileUncle. For this particular model you just have to have the phone off before commencing the flash with flash tools.
The recovery image provided comes with TWRP and if it STILL doesn't work for you then your only other option is building your own - which can be found reading my dear friend yuweng's post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722&page=1 - There are alot of tutorials on his post and you can learn much on your endeavor to flashing your phone :victory:
Currently I have been unsuccessful installing any roms as I get "assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img")" when trying to install any ROM, which tells me that there are no supported ROMs for this device yet.
ROM's I've tried..
None from Colonelzap's blog work for this model

Thanks guy for the hard work.
I'm having no problem with my 3G connection out of the box.
But the GPS is not functioning at all.
All you need to do is edit the updater-script and remove those assert lines. That won't overwrite boot.img (which contains the kernel) but it'll allow the ROM to finish its install and you can make a try to see if it works or not. Maybe there's another way to flash boot.img...

Ah I see, I did hear there was a few GPS bugs but they can be fixed apparently, see that Goophone i5 lite rom thread I think this phone has the wrong 3G cell bands for my area (Australia VIC), Even though it says it supports it on the site.. :/ Looks like I'm doomed with the 3G Bug, I've tried copying the APN settings from one phone to another and all. Anyway no problem!

I also have this phone. (Goophone i5 which is MZ E939 model) and my 3G is stuck as well. I did the same thing you did friend - copy the APN's from my samsung galaxy which works perfeclty with 3G and APN's setting. When APN's appeared in goophone menu I was able to listed my GSM providers and I could choose this one I have SIM card inside. Neverthless during the connection I recieve "Unable to connect, try again later"
I did some tests using different apps and all shows that 3G 900mhz is working and is ON. But no success in connecting. It is really annoying when you have your smartfon offline - almost useless
I have the same problem with custom ROMs too. No way to install them - using ROM manager or SP flash tool. - always some error appears.
I tried to install the ROM then it say cannot find path to emmc something like that...
stock apk
hi, i have recently rooted this phone and i dumbfoundedly deleted the important apk's that includes the UI and home launcher etc
by any chance anyone may help me copy all the stock apk's and compile them into a zip/rar file for me? =[ would be much apreciated as i am unable to use recovery and updates also.:crying:

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
rootexplorer.apk
Vending.apk
DOWNLOAD IT HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o838cef8feakno
PS. I rooted the phone before replacing that, using MTKdroidtool
Now I see my phone is slower and the playstore opens but gives me an error when It installs some app (error code 110) which fails eventually.
IF some one can please give me the stock apps in system/app for this phone, I would appreciate.

Anybody who blocked phone on apple logo or install wrong ROM or anything please try this solution:
wait till phones battery is fully uncharged then plug the phone to charger wait some minutes and press VOL - (minus) together with power button
After few seconds some menu will appears (more or less RECOVERY look like)
Choose CLEAR FLASH option using "MENU" button...
Phone should starts with factory menu and settings.
I did it about ten times and works perfectly in my goophone e939 or whatever it is...

Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):

Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

hi
bought this 8 inch tablet from Asda in Uk for my young lad and it updated the firmware straight away here is a copy of the image
http://hugefiles.net/kyypdhg855a0
hugefiles.net/kyypdhg855a0
if anybody needs it
it is a fairly clean rom only has an asda widget which is uninstallable,
cant tell you too much about it as he smashed it about 2 weeks after getting it and it hasnt worked since
i think it was the lollipop update, the pad was pretty decent for £50

Thank you very much for sharing the file. The links seem to be dead, as in they're no longer uploaded/accessible from the URL you have provided. Do you think you could share the file again? I apologise for any inconvenience.
Or could anyone share the stock ROM from the P791 tablet from ASDA?
Thank you and kind regards.

i havent got the file anymore - i originally got it from the settings in the tablet,
settings - about tablets - system updates
it just downloaded the file via browser to downloads folder as i recall, and you copy it out before it detects the update file is there.
it downloads from ftp://mypolaroidtablet.com but i cant access that from my laptop without a username and password
i dont recall it asking when accessing from the tablet, which i cant do as its been dropped a couple of times and now the screen is cracked and the wifi doesnt work
regards
k
http://southerntelecom.com/polaroidsupport/updates.html - some update files but doesnt seem to list this one, unless you find one that is compatible

Hey there, I just got one of these p791 Polaroid tablets for Christmas this year.
When I try to do the usual update method (Settings > About tablet > System update) it locks up and I have to force it to stop. So no auto-updates for me.
Currently stuck on KK 4.4.2
Is there anyone or anyway to get this ROM so I can manually install it, or anyone who's had this problem and fixed it so I can just update my tablet.

Hopefully you already got it sorted.. However, if not then you may want to know the tools usually used to fix this device are:
RKBatchTool,
AndroidTool,
Or PhoenixSuit (although I've not managed to get this one to work)
You can do a quick Google search on any of the tools mentioned above as well as find information on the installation process including the flashing of the P791 device.
I wasn't able to get mine turned on again but you may be able to. (Years ago I used these tools and got it working again, but can't seem to do it this time, maybe mines just had it. I think these are the only options for us though and I remember the annoying task of trying to figure it out as the specific device you're talking about, the one from Asda isn't hardly mentioned nor is it even supported by manufactures anymore so now I have an account on here I thought I'd just post this reply ?

**Update**
Since writing my reply to your OP I decided to give it another go and was successful.
I used AndroidTools to complete the process of flashing the stock update.img via the "Firmware" tab. If you need any help doing it feel free to reply to this post!

hey, ive been looking for help for a very long time now trying to get my tablet working, got in touch with the support team at Polaroid and they told me i was practically on my own because they dont have a copy of the firmware but now ive found this thread im hoping that you could help me, i dont really know how to get to firmware from the link in this thread to work on my tablet, ive tried loading it from an sd card on the tablet but it fails, i know im probably doing it wrong so some help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
Hello there, I bouth a pptv king 7s and recived it yesterday. I want to install/fastbook TWRP on it so i can pull the original framework from the phone and have a backup. I tried to fastboot the phone with the pptv king 7 TWRP that i found on this forum but it didn't work, i assume its because there is some difference between the 7 and 7s because the 7s has a 3d display.
now my question is. can some of you help me to manage to fastboot the phone so i can pull the original framework from it or does some one else have the original framework? i would like to install TWRP on it later and Xposed Framework.
If i try to install the pptv king 7 framework i will lose all my 3d apps and the 3d wont work and won't be calibrated.
I am willing to try almost everything. And is it possible to install some 3d deep settings like the htc evo 3d (i think?) had.
Thanks.
Edit: the phone is standard rom/firmware and rooted with Kingroot
Edit 2: I found the original Rom here -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8RgrDS it is a really slow download and you need to download some 3rd part program. I will do it and re-upload it here for you guys! i will edit it later.
And to flash the phone you need this flashtool -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nuUqmIt i will download and re-upload it too!
and some other guy said you could use the 2D rom so i prove the link to the download there too. -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1skUk4Yp

I have tried to temporary boot twrp with fastboot but it won't work i guess it is something with my drivers on the pc.... i got it unlocked anyway... i guess thats a small step lol...
Edit 4: Got TWRP installed now! found out what i did wrong.... SP Flash tool didn't recognize my phone... and i was searching for problems and after a while... i tried to turn off the phone, plug it out, press download button in sp flash tool and then plug the phone in... and it worked! i only flashed the recovery so i can install xposed framework!

This is excellent news, i have been searching for so long for this 7s firmware as i wish to convert my king 7 to a 3d version. They have spares on Banggood lcd screens and full housing, so was going to make this a my new project. Was just missing the firmware. So thank you very much
I also had Trouble flashing through sptool, and thought it was a problem with the mtk drivers as im using win 10, so i decided to flash twrp with flashify instead which worked a treat. Then did the normal flashing Su and Rom through twrp. Never used fastboot method, im quite new to flashing these chinese phones so i'm a bit cautious to try methods that im not to sure about.
I have cm13 on my king 7 now, but wish to convert it to the 3d version once my spares are ordered and are with me. But before i do this, do you think there's a possibility this would work? As the phones have physically the same hardware minus the 3d screen and firmware, so i shouldn't see why i couldn't work.

Yes, i think it would work, because its the same components except the 3d screen, the framework have a different driver that tells the phone what to do and when

I thank you for the links above, but i think that is just a bit to much for me, i don't want to make a mistake, especially as it's in a different language.
Wish it was a bit more simple than the method in the video. If you could get the Rom and share, i would be very grateful.

This must be the biggest pain in the A*** download i have done! Twice it has just stopped after getting to around 70% and wont let me carry on, and in between resuming for over an hour! i give up with it, if anyone manages to get this Rom downloaded, then please share. =]

Thank you for the links you have provided. I managed to install the flyme Rom, but quickly uninstalled again. Rom insn't optimized for the king 7 and there's no support for the three main buttons For Android (Back, home and menu) its a big shame that most chinese phone manufacturers mainly use apple based os's which really makes me annoyed. I heard there's a patch on a Russian forum for the buttons issue. But i think i will just stick with Cm 13 for now.
What is this zip you have posted? Is this another Rom? If so, is it working ok? Curious to know before flashing...
And i have some mtk drivers installed, but they're not working for me so unable to use sptool to flash any official Roms. Just using Twrp atm which i prefer
If you can link me to some that actually work, i would be grateful.

Oh dear, it looks like you have a normal King 7 NOT a 7's, if you had a 7's version, you would have a 3D gallery and other 3D software within the phone. Also it states only KING 7 not KING 7s the build number says PP6000(2D) if it was a 7s with 3D it would say PP6000(3D)
I would contact the supplier and demand a refund or a partial refund, did you buy from Gearbest by any chance?? I was speaking to someone on HUKD forums regarding this exact same issue and he received a partial refund of just £20!
I would keep pushing for more, as they have sold you the wrong product which is very misleading. Check AliExpress.com for spares, they have a 3D replacement screen for sale as well as full spare housing to make the switch to a 3D model (If you wanted)
I have yet to find a tear down tutorial to follow before i try this myself
So it isn't a Rom you posted?
@ fleebleflam
Yes I bought it at gearbest, I asked them if it was a King 7S, it answered me Yes

Hi,
there is a new Smartphone with MT6750T: Gigaset GS370 /GS370 Plus.
Has anybody already made/compiled a TWRP recovery for this phone?
I want to use Magisk , so I need a custom recovery to flash it?.
Thanks in advance.
I'm interested in rooting this phone too.
I just bought it for measly 55€ as they are giving you 100€ cash-back for buying it right now.
I want to root this phone (GS370, not the plus version) as well. If somebody is going to attempt it, I would be glad to hear about the results.
Hey guys! Any news regarding this topic? Do you by chance know if project treble is being used?
Any news here? I tried to find a tool to root GS370 plus but without success. Kingoroot fails, SuperOneclick does nothing and zykoroot i can't find a download
Has anyone a idea?
There's probably not much going on in terms of projects for the GS370. Gigaset also has not yet released any sources for that device.
I've been in contact with their support recently and asked them when they're going to deliver Android 8 (later this year, they're waiting for drivers by MediaTek, according to the support rep) and when they're going to release their sources. My question regarding the sources was ignored and I haven't been able to get a clear answer from them.
Yesterday, i downloaded the latest update package from the ota-update-servers (they're chinese hosted btw) via their wonderful api. The update.zip contains the usual and a scatter file which (among other things) tells at which physical adress the recovery is located at. I am going to extract the original recovery today and try to port twrp for this device.

Have you made any progress with this?
Sadly not. I don't know why, but i can't get SP Flash Tool working with this particular phone. This is vital to extract/reflash the recovery or bootloader.
More info
Please tell us more. Could You give us the files?
hello!
Can someone provide me a link where I can find the stock rom / firmware for this device?
Need to get the boot.img :/
