Hi, I just bought this phone from TECA Mobility, it turns out to be an Alps S5. See attachement for a detailed description.
I tried to ge the root. I tried some different tools, without success.
MTK Droid Tools ROOT button doesn't work but gives a link to xda's MKT forum, so I started with the recommended procedure. I tried to read back the ROM with SP-FlashTools but no way, it doesn't start. I also made some attempts with the Android SDK but adb backup of course doesn't work for the System partition without root.
When I send the adb reboot recovery command the phone goes in download mode, with the adb reboot bootloader command it goes in fastboot mode, while to have it in the factory recovery mode I have to manually hold down the start and vol down buttons. However, it doesn't matter, the readback does not start.
Should I try to install the CWD recovery without having a backup of the ROM? I think it's too risky. I looked at NEEDROM to see if I can find my ROM, but didn't find. I found these, "S5 SM-G900 MT6592", but I cannot be sure it's the right one.
Somebody can help me? I want to root the device.

Hi
1) First root your device using MTK Chopper (from PC) or framaroot (from android app) . Both work fine for MTK phones
2) Then using MTK droid tools backup your ROM. Here is the guide for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
3)Then using MTK droid tools , make CWM recovery for your phone and install it . Here is guide for that

I think you mean MOTO Chopper? It doesn't work, same as framaroot. They are old tools, they don't work anymore on the ROMs released after June 2014.
ODIN could work but I have not the sure/right file to download.
Generally speaking, the first thing to do is that of getting a backup of the ROM from the un-rooted phone
The guides that have been reported to work in these cases are:
From XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5
From China Devices:
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-ROOT-CWM-Readback-your-ROM-with-SP-Flash-Tools#
Hereunder is the link to a success case story:
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-Rooting-new-octacore-S5
There is no way I know to get the root with one-click-tools, there is no case I could find of anybody being able to root these phones by following other procedures.
If anybody knows better, please send me a link (MTK phones with ROM s released after june 2014 only!!!)
My only problem now is that I cannot get the read back with Flash Tools. I have tried uncountable button-pressing combinations, I have put the phone in recovery, download, fastboot mode, I have tried with and without battery, phone switched off or on - no error, but the read-back doesn't start (however my phone doesn't have the USB connection working when it's off or without battery).
The only way to skip this step is, if I had already a copy of the firmware available, a sure one.
Kindly help me if you can
Hi
Odin doesn't work for MTK mate
Try this latest app . It worked for some latest MTK KK phones
http://www.kingoapp.com/index.htm
Some other KK phones got rooted using vroot and rootgenius
Try your luck
Final option is to read back from SPFT which has 90+ success rate

As bizarre as this sounds, I managed to get root on a similar phone (another MTK6592 S5 knockoff) with MTK tools. After exhausting my options, I clicked the ADB button and tried to get root shell regardless (via 'adb root shell', which probably isn't the proper command but it works regardless), which caused some sort of hang. After a minute or so I unplugged my phone, which caused things to start responding again; plugging it back in showed me as having temporary root, and the get root button actually worked the next time I tried it. I have no idea how or why it worked, or if it was a once in a lifetime occurrence, but it can't hurt to try.
Also, if your phone is anything like mine (and is actually running some form of KitKat), good luck getting write support for external SD cards. I couldn't get the system partition to mount (to write changes to the necessary file) via anything but ADB shell.
Problem solved
Good to know, thank ypu.
However in the meantime I solved my problem.
My phone works this way: I have to remove the battery and connect it to the USB cable. Then it goes in "preloader mode" and tries to install a driver called "MT65XX preloader driver". This driver actually emulates a COM port. If data transfer doesn't start, then, after a few seconds, the device goes down and disappear from Windows list. So it is easy to miss it when we install all drivers. I had to dowload it (from Google cloud service in my case), install and ... the Read Back started !!! Now I have completed the procedure and my phone is rooted with the CWD recovery installed.

Maybe your phone was using firmware dated before june 2014? These was a bug that was exploited by Framaroot, but now they fixed it.
Is your phone also from ALPS? They sold it to me as capable of installing an external 64GB SDHC card, but I cannot have it working. Did you face any similar issue?
Otherwise 32GB cards work fine. Have you tried Aparted app? I use it for formatting/maintenace. This app makes partitioning, I guess it should work.
Also, if your phone is from ALPS, does it really have the ROM memory that is advertised?
I am facing some interesting issues with my phone on this respect. It was sold as having 16GB internal ROM, of which about 12GB avalible for users. In fact, the settings menu shows 10GB ,( 8GB available) of internal memory, and about 4GB of phone memory. Well, if I am correct, this so called internal memory maps to the directory /data (the one highest level in the root), who corresponds to partirtion mmcblk0p7. This partition actually has a size of 2.3GB instead of 10 !!!. f I install and try to run online Nandroid backup, I cannot have it working on paths directed towards the SDcards, but it works on the path data/media. Well, a backup of about 1.2GB is shown in the setting menu of the phone as a memory consumption of about 5 GB !!!
Then I had also hard time in copying this file from the /data directory to one of the SD cards. Root Browser and Root Explorer didn't work, only ES Manager with root rights worked.
Maybe you can give me some advice in finding some tool or SDK procedure to assess what the real total size of the memory is? Or some suggestion on how to fix the ext 64GB card? I got bad feelings with the guys who sold this phone to me, so I would like to collect some more evidence if possible.
I downloaded some applications for making device inspection. They read the manufacturers' data, so they get cheated - even if, in some cases, they can show the right amount of unused memory still available (quite lower than declared by the phone) . Also I cannot see the real size of the RAM memory used by the CPU .
Need stock ROM for Teca g89 mobile.
Hi experts,
I need stock ROM of TECA G89W ANDROID 4.4 2.4GHz 4GB-RAM +32GB 18MP 5.5-inch GPS SMARTPHONE. I brought this phone 6 months back and unfortunately the software corrupted.

Hello. Recent, i buyed a acer e700 tri sim, and I try to root the device. It comes with mtk6582, and run with rom stock 4.4.2
Some bodys tell Acer actualized this phone to 4.4.4 but i go to settings, search updates, and reply "is actualized".
No tool achieved root the device, and do not know what else I can do.
I saw somebody post in another webpage a cmw rom, but I dont want change rom, only root access.
Anybody can help me? Regards.
The easiest way is - imho - a firmware version like AV0K0.E39.1.014.00.EMEA.GEN1 with a tool called "Kingo Root" (but it should actually work with a bunch of other rooting tools), if you're on AV0K0.E39.1.020.00.EMEA.GEN1 or AV0K0.E39.1.022.00.EMEA.GEN1 (not available on the official page, improves the modem) most ways ain't gonna work anymore
=> download AV0K0.E39.1.014.00.EMEA.GEN1, put it on sdcard, go in recovery (V- and Power) and flash it, enable USB debugging, start kingo, wait a bit...
There're maybe some ways for newer firmware versions like 020 and 022 out there...but I haven't figured out them till now (bootloader is locked, acer thought about it but they won't release an official unlock method)

See the instructions (author has since updated) at
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...Touch Pop S3</b> 5050 | Every Android version
and the second page comments for recovery hints. TWRP requires some study and preparation before use so it's not good to be stuck when attempting recovery.
Note the comment on the 3rd page about the updated recovery image that lets you see what you are doing on the screen. For me I got it working, working in the dark (ie. not seeing anything on screen), so it's too early for a video tutorial.
Please Help me :/

Rooting using Kingo Root
Rooting nowadays is very simple.
But the easiest way to do it is the following:
1. Download Kingo Root for Windows, Mac or Linux;
2. Install Kingo Root;
3. Open the program;
4. Connect your phone to your pc through USB cable and wait for Kingo Root recognize it;
5. If your phone is rootable it will appear a button saying "ROOT", click there (If your device is not rootable then you are out of luck and you must try another method)
6. Don't remove your phone and don't click anywhere, wait until the rooting process is finished;
7. After this your phone should reboot, it means you are now rooted (If your phone did'nt rebooted, manually reboot it then);
8. Enjoy!
Note: Rooting will void the device's warranty, root at your own risk.
Download the phone's drivers if needed and disable Windows, Mac or Linux firewall if needed.
Hope it works for you!

Hello,
I recently acquired the HomTom HT10 and I am really liking it so far. Trying to get more out of this device I started looking for viable methods to root it. So far, none of them has worked.
Specifications:
Software:
- Android Version: 6.0
- API Level: 23
- Android Security Patch Level: 2016-08-05
- Kernel Architecture: armv8l
- Kernel Version (in device info): "[email protected] 2016/06/03"
- Kernel Version (in CPU-Z): 3.18.22 (1473842401)
- Build Number: HOMTOM-HT10-Android 6.0-V01-20160914
- Custom Build Version: alps-mp-m0.mp9-V1.33_aeon6797.6c.m_P11
- Firmware download at the bottom of this page: http://homtom.cc/
- Bootloader is unlocked
- I can access the device using ADB and Fastboot
- The only bootmenu is accessible by holding down the Volume Up button while booting the phone. In this menu there are 3 options:
1. Recovery Mode: This shows a blank screen with a picture of a droid with an open chest and a red triangle floating over it, as well as the text "No Command" written above it.
2. Fastboot Mode: This shows a blank screen with the typical "Fastboot mode" text.
3. Normal Boot: Does what you would expect.
Hardware:
- mt6797
- MediaTek Helio X20
- Mali-T880
- Resolution: 1080 x 1920
- Ram: 3 GB
- Memory: 32 GB
Rooting methods I tried (for each method, the mobile and PC version was tried, if one was available):
- Framaroot: 2 Exploits choosable, both of them return Error #6 immediately
- Kingoroot: Error around 85%, can't read Chinese error message
- Kingroot: Root Failed
- iRoot (formerly vRoot): Root Failed
- Towelroot: after pressing the "make it ra1n"-button, the application gets stuck
- Root Genius: phone reboots twice, the PC tool gets to ~56 % and says "Root Failed"
- The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually: Method 1 works, until I have to reboot into the recovery mode, Ubuntu just won't mount it. Method 2 relies on "psneuter", which gives the error "mmap() failed. Invalid argument". I presume it just doesn't work for my android version, maybe someone knows of an alternative?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210
Does anyone have an idea how I could get root on this thing? Can someone maybe point me in the right direction how I would go about decompiling the manufacturer firmware and building a rooted image, or at least build a custom recovery? AFAIK there isn't even a custom recovery available yet.
On another note, I also found MOD Edit:- Links Removed. Could this be useful?
If I forgot to mention anything, let me know!
Thank you for reading this,
Greetings, Nukeer
Edit:
I have managed to root my device, though I had to deal with quite a few real-life issues, so I totally forgot about this thread. I apologize for this late reply, but I guess better now than never. Note: the following two paragraphs are also copied from a reply I wrote in another thread about this phone. If anyone can answer my questions, I'd really appreciate it.
I have the Homtom HT10 running the firmware Android-6.0-V01-20161202 and I was able to root the device using Kingo Root. It's been a while, but I think there were some additional steps to go through before this root worked. My question is if anyone here has had success in rooting one of the newer firmwares, since I'm not sure if this root would survive the firmware update and I wouldn't want to lose root access.
Also, does anyone know how to replace the Kingo Superuser app with Chainfire's version?
[Source for my reply: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...omtom-ht10-t3564957/post72876549#post72876549 ]
Me too.
I also can not be.
ttp://hirachon.blogspot.jp/2016/10/root.html
also looking for a tutorial to root because i'm not satisfied with the current OS :
- losing connectivity: cannot receive calls (need to reboot or turn off/on SIM cards in settings)
- no 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks compatibility
- losing user preferences (language or default apps)
- froze and reboot if you set a password to lock your device (pattern or PIN)
- battery saving mode is too aggressive and not easy to manage
