Has anyone managed to root this phone? I've tried many rooting apps and it has always ended in a fail. I checked to see if the bootloader was unlocked but it seemed to be unknown with no indication of whether its unlocked or not
The specifications of the phone (not sure if needed since I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff):
Name: LGE LG Phoenix 4
Carrier: ATT
Board: msm8937_32
Android Version: 7.1.2 (Nougat)
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (Cortex-A53)
Graphics: Adreno 308
OpenGL: ES 3.0
Architecture: armv7l (32-bit)
This is all I can provide. If this isn't helpful, then I may do a bit more research on this phone. I am really edged about rooting this phone. It could be an easy process unknowingly, or it could be teeth gritting difficult. Hopefully, it won't be hard, nor easy. Hopefully someone can find something

Yes I have I looked at the LG Aristro 2 and their both the same device. I used the LG Aristro 2 TWRP recovery and was able to use custom recovery with no problems. There is a custom ROM for that device that can be used on the Phoenix 4 as well. To unlock the Phoenix 4 (including AT&T) in fast boot mode you'll need adb.
Commands:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fast boot devices
fast boot oem unlock
And no prompt just auto erases data and is unlocked. After TWRP flash reboot to recovery by pressing VOL - and power. Release power and press again at the LG logo and should see a "Factory Reset" screen. Go to yes to do so and the device will reboot to TWRP. Take the Aristro 2 ROM and side load it with adb.
WARNING: /data in TWRP will ask for decrypt key for /data. The custom ROM zip will erase the key and allow to have root and full custom recovery
I completely bricked a LM-X210APM trying to install the Aristro 2 ROM. Does not power up...nothing. Just a warning to anyone who comes across this on search and is thinking about attempting it. Just don't
Can bootloader be unlocked for root?
Magisk work?
Anyone have success?
Hello, dear friends. will you be able to install firmware with Redmi 4A on this device? the processor is the same, the RAM is the same. what could go wrong? who is very well versed in this matter?

Hi,
My android device CPU is MT6592 (8xARM Cortex –[email protected] MHz) with instruction set 32-bit ARMv7. Board and product is ht1_107a_iball_mjk. Apart from this, Codename is REL, Internal Memory is 16GB and RAM is 2GB.
I did root and un-root my device multiple times.
I see connected device through adb devices command. After adb reboot bootloader and fastboot oem unlock, I confirmed on android device by pressing Volume Up key but there is no change on device screen and computer screen even after 30 min. I changed USB cable and USB port. However, there is no change.
Therefore, I am not able to unlock its boot-loader.
After adb reboot bootloader and fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, I found No TWRP or other Custom Recovery images are compatible for my device.
Therefore, I am not able to install Custom ROM as well.
I tried all above procedures multiple times and with multiple ways. However, at the end I am with Stock ROM (Android 4.4.4). And only two processes I can do successfully; rooting and un-rooting.
In such scenario, may my device be hard bricked, if I continue above processes multiple times forcefully?

Hey Everybody!
I am new to this forum, looking for a way to root my trekstor Surftab breeze 9.6 Quad. I already tried out the recommended tools, unfortunately none of them worked out. Is anyone of you aware of a method rooting the tab? Or did anyone already rooted it?
First ofall I am looking for a way to move files and apps to the external sd and delete pre-installed apps. Farther, if possible and available, a custom rom would be pretty amazing.
I'm only familiar to nexus root toolkit on my old nexus 4, otherwise I'm a newbie in rooting.
Maybe there's some of you able to help me. If necessary, I will look up more information on the tablet.
Lucas
Maybe as an Update:
Trying to build a working adb connection using the andorid sdk tools, the surftab is not listed as a device in "adb devices"
Anyone out there who can help me with the tablet?
Alright, new update for today.
I was able to get a driver running and the root-toolkits like KingoRoot, KingRoot, One Click root etc. noticed the device, I even was able to start the rooting, but all of those tools said "Root failed" or "Your device is soild to root".
Looks like those one click solution aren't able to root the surftab. I also tried towelroot and framaroot, both without any success.
I am still looking for help
If you are still interested, I successfully dumped whole eMMC memory from this tablet, so I can send you, for example, the boot partition. You can try patch it with Magisk
The magic
Yes, if it's not difficult for you, you can share the firmware. I will be grateful
Hi!
I attached xz-compressed stock boot.img for you!
Also, I have full eMMC dump, but:
recovery partition data are not usable (overwritten by uncompatible recovery image during mine tests)
no data partition
no platform bootloader partitions mmc0boot0 and mmc0boot1
Trekstor-Surftab-Breeze-9.6-ST96416-1-emmc-dump.dd.xz [1.12 GB]
Decompress and use kpartx tool (need force to ignore omitted data partition)
I have this tablet rooted now, so you can ask me for anything about it.
With love for all open source,
petabeda
Just one thing: fastboot boot is not supported here, so If you are afraid, flash modified boot.img to recovery partition with fastboot flash recovery boot.img for test (adb reboot and then adb reboot recovery
You will lost your recovery, but, at least, no bricked device in case of error (recovery is actually second boot partition)

I have two surftab tablets. One version of the SIM card is fully functional. Another wifi version will not load. When loading, the orange logo at the moment of "collection" freezes. If there is, you can go into recovery even factory reset.
But nothing changes. I believe that the EMMC resource has been exhausted and therefore this behavior.
and to be honest, I don’t know how to write the partition. Since only the adb sideload command is available in recovery mode. Apparently, it is impossible to overwrite the firmware except through the programmer.
Until that time, I could not even pull out the firmware. Since there was no root access
Thank you for your help. As a thank you, I will give you a link to a tool to repair the Nexus 7 bootloader. Through a vulnerability in the tegra cpu. As I understand it, I use this method to hack the nintendo switch. I personally bought 4 nexus 2012 on the secondary market and one of them was able to restore in this way. They of them had a damaged eMMC other power controller. And even with a soldering station, I could not replace it because there is no suitable frame for the reball. In general, nexus are not bad, but there is very little disk space for installing google services and GAPPS are useless. And it is difficult to change partition. And it makes no sense because of the available firmware.
I see, you can''t unlock bootloader, because your device is not bootable at all. So, there is no way to get into fastboot mode?
We are anti e-waste fighters giving second chances!
The first photo is the available recovery menu. Where after choosing a factory reset, nothing changes. And through the adb update, only sideload mode is available.
The factory partition is not corrupted as the restore completes successfully. But the download fails. And not just does not occur, but freezes as in the screenshot above. Most likely a hardware problem eMMC.
Earlier, I saw something similar, for example, in Asus Zenpad, if turn off or connect the camera incorrectly, then the download stops. But here animation is stuck.
I don't know how to check eMMC exactly.
logs files is empty
And with recovery, no commands are available (like adb or fasboot)
There is a one way how to diagnose/repair/have fun with that Trekstor tablet - If you could and want to disassemble it:
have your tablet powered off
disassemble the tablet
carefully disconnect FFC cables (display and digitizer)
remove mainboard screws
at back side in the center of the board, there are three testpoints.......yes you are thinking right, these are actually 1.8V UART signals and GND
Connect these signals to your serial converter (in my case, Raspberry Pi), be careful and talk with the same loundnesses
Don''t power on the tablet, only plug usb cable, tablet will try boot and run healthd (charging mode with battery animation)
Your console will show you the magic (PBL/SBL) bootloader messages and Linux log and event, maybe, the console (though no root), lalalal (/dev/ttyFIQ0)
Wish you luck
After that, if everything goes well, you should be able to use reboot fastboot command to get fastboot mode !
I'm looking for help in gaining root access to my phone. I have searched the forums and while this device already has it's own thread, it seems as though the info provided is relevant only to those with Mediatek processors (?) and mine has a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. I've tried pretty much every root application available (both for pc and .apk) and none have successfully rooted my device or even achieved temp root. I am open to installing custom recovery +SuperSu and have done so on previous devices, however I'm completely lost on this one as Fastboot and anything resembling a bootloader menu are apparently hidden.
adb reboot bootloader reboots the phone normally, shows Alcatel splash screen then home screen
fastboot hangs at <waiting for any device>
Powering up the device while holding Vol up/down boots into a screen with various options (factory data reset, apply update from ADB, etc) but no fastboot mode.
Is there a way for me to root this device? Why do all the root applications fail?

Here is the guide for locking/unlocking your bootloader and flash custom recovery .
*Your Warranty will be void after unlocking bootloader*
What You need
A Laptop/PC
ADB Drivers
TWRP recovery
Some Patience
For Unlocking Your Bootloader :
First of all Install ADB drivers In Your Laptop/PC , Link is Here

Now go to the Developer Options and turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
Connect Your Mobile To your Pc through a USB cable.
Open ADB folder on Your Pc ( It will be in Local Disk C on your My files ) .
Right click + Press Shift in Adb folder , a popup will open , choose 'open command window here' .
Write Commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(It should reboot your phone to fastboot , if not you must have done something wrong)
Code:
fastboot -i 0x17ef oem unlock-go
(This will unlock your bootloader and it will wipe your internal storage So better to backup first)
Done. Your phone will be rebooted and Your Bootloader is Unlocked.
For Flashing TWRP :
Download the twrp for Lenovo k6/k6 power (karate) from official twrp site.
Place it in the adb folder and rename it to recovery.img .
Now run these command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot -i 0x17ef flash recovery recovery.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done Recovery is flashed , Now You can Flash anything with the Help of TWRP recovery.
If You want to lock Your Bootloader again :
Use the same process as above , and use command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
It should relock Your Bootloader.
Any query about unlocking bootloader or root , feel free to ask here.
Can you please help me with install and use aircrack-ng and metasploit in my Lenovo k6 power.

Yep. Got that.. Lenovo stock ROM encrypts device after clearing data or every factory reset..
It doesn't happens with custom ROMs..
Is it necessary to type 0x17ef, i.e. Block ID??
AFAIK, Mostly I type Fastboot OEM Unlock or in case of Motorola, Enter key and for flashing, just Fastboot flash ......
I have k33a42 2gb ram/16 gb K6 Power and Nougat 7.0 (K33_S229_170908_ROW)
Is this method also valid for my phone?
Is there any way to reset boot loader settings to their original state?
Hello,
I have Lenovo K6 Power (K33a42, 32GB, 3GB RAM)
I had accidentally selected USA band in *#*#4636#*#* . Since then, I was only getting signal in one of the selected 4G SIMs, the 2nd SIM was without network. My phone was updated to latest Nougat 7.0 prior to this problem (build S229, July security patch).
To solve the USA band problem, I flashed original ROM with help of Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant 3.2.0.9 (in hopes of reviving the networks). It downloaded S156 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) by default, which I flashed onto device successfully. Still the network problem was not solved, the 2nd sim still did not show any network.
Later, I found this link :
Code:
cnet dot com / forums/discussions/accidentally-selected-usa-band-in-moto-x-play/
so to try the solution I downloaded Platform Tools from Android Developers website :
Code:
developer dot android dot com /studio/releases/platform-tools.html
(Please adjust the above links correctly, XDA did not allow me to post direct links since this is my first post)
and as per the instructions tried these commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
Now, the signals did show up on both sims upon reboot, but I realised I lost VoLTE. None of the 4g sims were able to connect to VoLTE. I tried Network Settings Reset, APN settings reset, Restart, updated again to Nougat latest build S229 from phone's Software Update menu, nothing worked.
I also have a minor problem, upon reboot the 1st sim instantly shows network bars, the 2nd sim shows zero bars. Yet inside 'Phone Status' menu, network is shown as connected and even SMSes are received. Putting on Airplane Mode helps, but this is annoying, as I will have to deal with this bug each time I restart.
Can anyone please help? I want my phone's boot loader to be back to default network settings, and both my networks to work like when the phone is new.
I have a lenovo k6 power. I have done
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
But after that my phone isn't detecting sim cards. Someone have a solution for this?
hello guys

Just after flashing the recovery (the last step), hold the power button, and the volume up button until your device reboots to a screen where you can select recovery option.
The trick is, don't let the device boot to the system, since it flashes the stock recovery and you will have to do it all over again. boot directly to recovery after flashing a custom recovery.
btw, I was on the last update (some S31) stock Nougat 7.0.
Got Unlocked and Twrp Running with this method, including my last step. Hope to see some custom ROM working without issues with it.
little confession here
Well I got this device from a relative and she says it hangs like hell, I was in a habit of getting the back cover out and pulling the battery. forgot about that here and removed the back panel with full force. luckily only some plastic bits came off. That's what happen when I keep jumping in all the forum flashing all kinds of device for my peeps. :laugh::laugh:

Modemst 1 and Modemst 2 means your Imei of sim 1 and sim 2.
Go to phone and type *#06# and it will show you the imei.
It must be null as you erased it.
Since they both are same,you wont have signal in both sims.
I'm unable to find any guides on how to root this device with A64 SoC. The guide here only works with intel cpu. I've heard fast boot is disabled for this version which is quite unfortunate...
Is there maybe a pin somewhere on the PCB to short to access fastboot or MASKROM?
Model is NX16A8116KPB

I tried to find firmware for this tablet for days, absolutely nothing. Not even in nextbook site resources, it's non-existent. Since my tablet is softbricked and selecting bootloader just reboots to forever stuck logo, I could attempt to flash firmware from other similar devices such as Q64 10.1". I'm able to put tablet into FEL or flash mode by using sd card, instructions here.
I Have the same one and unlocked the boot loader but cant find TWRP for it.
Be careful with FEL mode. I'm currently trying to bring my Ares 10a back2life, but I think I bricked it further when I wrote some bs to somewhere probably important. I used to get to the Android logo at least, now not. Still get FEL mode though.
I found out that when it "gets stuck" at the logo it actually is in fastboot. You should see it in Device Manager if im not mistaken.
