Hello,
I'm interested in rooting a Cubot King Kong 3 phone (MT 6763 phone), which features Oreo 8.1, and I hope that I am currently posting in the correct forum category.
For my general understanding, I have a few questions and I really that somebody is so kind to help me shed some light on the following:
1. Is it possible to root any random phone just by unlocking the bootloader with ADB, flashing TWRP and then installing SuperSU in the recovery?
Is this the general approach I can use also on the Cubot King Kong 3? Or do I need a TWRP which is modified / customized for this phone? I would like to clarify this, before I do something and brick the phone.
2. What are some safety measures to take, before trying to root, so that I can reinstate the phone to the original state, if something goes wrong?
3. Do I have to disable any kind of data partition encryption so that I can root the phone? Or can I still root the phone without doing this?
4. What is a scatter file and for what is it used? I've read a lot of guides and it seems to be used only with SPFlash. Does this mean, that I do not need this, if root by going the ADB+TWRP+SuperSU route?
5. If after unlocking the bootloader with fastboot, I am getting the message "Orange State Your devices has been unlocked and can't be trusted. " at boot, then what went wrong and can this be fixed?
6. If after flashing the stock ROM, which Cubot provides on their forum, I get a red text "Not Verify" in the upper right corner of the screen every time the phone is on, then what went wrong and can this be fixed?
I am really thankful for your advice, you can't imagine!
what i did without sucess
Hey, i'm waiting exactly for the same things! I tested some TWPR, but no one worked at all. I cannot found any Magisk binaries who's look works with kingkong 3.
At the end, i was deseperated, so i try some kingoapp and other oneclick root apps, but without success.
I hope one day, someone with knowlegde and talent will helping us ?
As long as OEM/Carrier allows it, phone's Android can get rooted: that's true for all brands/models.
If you flash TWRP Recovery then phone's Stock Recovery gets removed. You have to re-flash phone's Stock ROM to bring it back.
SuperSU doesn't root phone's Android, it's a superuser (AKA root) management tool that allows you to manage which of all of the apps you contain installed gets granted root permission.
A phone's Android is got rooted if su binary ( what is a Linux tool, ~ 100KB ) is present on it's /system partion or any other partition.

To reiterate:
The typical way to achieve root access on an Android device is to first unlock the boot-loader, which disables verification of the /boot partition. Once the boot-loader is unlocked, the user can introduce a su binary to the system and also a superuser management app to control which processes have access to root. Unlocking the boot-loader is intentionally disabling one of the key security features on the device, which is why the user has to explicitly allow it to happen by typically enabling a toggle in Android's Developer Options and then issuing an unlock command to the boot-loader. With MediaTek-su, a script especially present for devices based on Meditek chipset, however, the user does not have to unlock the bootloader to get root access. Instead, all they have to do is copy a script to their device and execute it in shell.
Note that the user isn’t the only one that can do this, though. Any app on your phone can copy the MediaTek-su script to their private directory and then execute it to gain root access in shell.

it seem you have some mods in /system or /webtop partition
Did you ever unlock your bootloader?
ATT right?

if you Answer are NO
and YES
this is the way to do it follow this link and you need a PC and your phone attached to it by USB:

I believe i just rooted it with gingerbreak but then i followed this tutorial: http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-enable-webtop-without-laptopusb-dock/
it edited my webtop stuff so how do i fix it so i can update
lol don't panic! (....I have a towel =D)
You just entered the recovery menu. To see the error message, you need to un-hide it by touching the screen on the bottom right corner (right above the search button). This will show you what error you encountered.
If you're OTAing up, then you probably had Titanium or something that removed bloatware or modded the system with a theme or custom files. If that's the case, any OTA will fail because you will not have passed the pre-install check. You have three options:
1.) Go here and get the Automated Upgrade for PC Users. That will allow you to upgrade and bypass the test, while also keeping your data. This doesn't require any mods or unlocked bootloaders. (BE WARNED THAT IF YOU USE THIS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE BLOWN. DON'T DOWNGRADE WITH SBFs AND STICK TO EATING YOUR FRUITCAKE! However, Radio and Bootloader SBFs are still considered safe. As any wise man would do, proceed with caution.)
OR
2.) Unlock your bootloader, install CWM from Tenfar, and then get KP's 2.3.4 ROM Beta 4 and put it in your SD card. Boot up CWM and install it. That easy. =] (BE WARNED SOME PEOPLE BRICKED THIS WAY.)
ORRRRRR
3.) Using the fastboot from Motorola and unlocking your bootloader, just flash the images here. (Currently the best method and seems to produce the best results, but if you don't know how to do it, then don't do it.)
If you need instructions on how to do any of the above, use this noob bible. And lastly, if you want to root, use the preinstall method (also in bible.)
Happy upgrading!

I had the same problem and also had only used gingerbreak and webtop mod. I tried using pc update software but it thought I was on orange france (mine is AT&T) so I didn't proceed. Decided to flash the gingerbread plus pudding sbf in pudding thread, worked perfect and kept all data, you don't need to unlock bootloader before updating
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Except my bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I posted this in the wrong thread earlier... Apologies
I rooted my Z3v with Kingroot (I'm beginning to think that was a mistake). I seem to have "limited" root capabilities. I cannot install BusyBox because R/W permission fails. I run root checker and get positive results. Also, I cannot make any changes to the phone's root or install a recovery. Is there a way to fix this? If not, how do I start from the beginning and get rid of Kingroot in exchange for SU and a recovery?
Install SuperSU from play store and install it's binary, and uninstall all kingroot apps after and reboot phone. Done.
Binary won't install.

Same exact issue
Hey, just wanted to say that I'm having an identical issue regarding r/w issues after kingroot and SuperSU Binaries won't install. I'm a newbie to rooting but my Z3v D6708 has no data connectivity through USB Debugging (hardware damage) so this was my only option. I have however been experimenting with doing a kingroot uninstall from within the king user app, then rooting using kingo root (different website entirely from KingRoot) then I rerooted with kingroot (to make it stick? I had to kingo root after every reboot) and that got me some slightly updated SU Binaries that allowed xposed to install and some modules to function. I would love for someone with more knowledge to do some research into this and fix the R/W issue though. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help!

I was having read/write issues and believe I solved this with the Advanced Tools App, Settings and Root, SD card write access. Play around with the switches in that section and one of them seemed to do the trick for me.
In SU is there still the "fix permission" option?
Looks as if I didn't remember right, it seems "fix permission" is in the ROM manger etc.... CWM, TWRP.

Better use prerooted firmware by installing recovery
I got this phone and I want to root it, but I don't know how to do it.
Is there any clone of it so that I can find a method ?
It is a MT6735 based phone, Mediatek Quad-Core 1 GHz, Cortex-A53, Lollipop 5.1

Hi everyone,
This topic is probably outdated, but i recently did a few research in order to root a Wiko Rainbow UP 4G with Android 5.1, like mega180 asked.
From what i found (every info is not fresh), the easy way to do this is to use Kingroot v4.8.0. I tried it and, yes, it works. But you have this app stuck on your phone, and you may want to get rid of it. I read that the app superSume Pro is good for this, but it's not free and i haven't tried it myself (yet).
I might have found an less easy way to get the root, which is the following one. Please correct me if you read something false, as i'm quite new in the Android game, i don't have a strong understanding of everything. So, if you :
1) unlock the bootloader
2) install a custom recovery like TWRP
3) flash Super SU
... it should do the job, right ?
So step by step :
<> Step 1 - Unlock the bootloader
For this, a simple fastboot oem unlock command should work. For those who would not know, please note that this will erase all the user's data (and that is a good thing). By the way, i looked into a ROM with a method similar to this one (thanks to this article and its author !), and fyi that's the OEM commands we can find inside :
Code:
oem p2u
oem reboot-recovery
oem append-cmdline
oem off-mode-charge
oem unlock
oem lock
oem key
oem lks
I'm note sure to get the purpose of every command here, like "oem lks" for instance, if you have any information to share ...
<> Step 2 - Install a custom recovery
I found on a french forum that a version of TWRP had been released for the Rainbow UP 4G, but the links provided to download it are dead today. Has anyone heard about that ? There is nothing about Wiko phones on the TWRP website. Once you have it just do a fastboot flash recovery your_custom_recovery.img and that's it, i guess.
<> Step 3 - Flash Super SU
All you need is the Super SU flashable zip, but ... on the website, the links are (also) dead ! With this file, simple flash it with TWRP and you will succeed.
If that is ok to get root access, the only things i miss to try it are these files that must exist somewhere ... so any help will be welcomed. And if all this post is full of stupidities and i'm completely wrong, i'll be glad to know it too !
Thanks for reading !
Dear XDA Developers Users,
I have two STK Hero X mobiles. One of them is rooted and working (1), the second one is soft-bricked (2). I´m looking for a way how to unbrick the second one, maybe using the first one.
Both mobiles: No official or custom ROM available, no custom recovery available, rooted using KingRoot, Android 5.1, MTK6735P chipset.
The working one (1): Can use ADB, Fastboot, Dev options, stock recovery
The bricked one (2): Can only get to recovery, fastboot. Bootloader locked. Freezes at the STK logo during booting. I had removed a few system apps using System App Remover: AVG antivirus or Chrome. In recovery, there is a root integrity check. A few files are modified (2; because of root, I suppose, including /system/bin/app_process64), missing (7; antivirus), and new (13 of them). It´s the Android System Recovery <3e> which looks like that (not a my photo):

}
What I´ve tried (2)
- Factory reset using recovery (/data, /cache). Still feezes at the logo during booting (two hours).
- Create a ZIPme recovery from the working one (1) with system apps. In the recovery (2), the ZIP is loaded via SD card and suddenly interrupted with no reason. (Battery charged.) Tried with two different ZIPme recoveries.
- Create a FlashFire ROM brackup (1). Can´t because of the KingRoot. Supersume Pro didn´t help. Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/chainfires-flashfire-can-now-create-fastboot-flashable-backups/
- Create a complete ADB backup (1), and restore it (2). Well, wasn´t possible because the ADB in recovery (2) doesn´t support adb restore. Source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351¨
- Unlock the bootloader (1). I can´t boot the OS and allow OEM via Dev tools. Unlocking with Fastboot fails. Source: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-via-fastboot-android/
- Port a TWRP recovery and then simply use a recovery from (1). Well, I can´t unlock the bootloader. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798257
- Create a complete nandroid backup (1). I can´t restore it using the stock recovery. Source: https://www.informationlord.com/create-nandroid-backup-without-cwmcustom-recovery/
I will be grateful for any idea how to make my mobile (2) boot into Android. Maybe using the files from the working one (1), restoring the partitions? In the recovery (2), there is a backup user data option. The mobile has a 16GB storage, and after a factory reset, the backup user data needs around 12GB of free space on SD card. Since there is no user data, is it possible it includes the system files somehow?
There's been a few posts talking about this on various forums, but nothing I can see that indicates if anyone's managed to do it.
I wan't to unroot my T95Z 3GB/32GB so I can use various TV apps.
So far I have:
- using the shell, deleted the files "su", "su_daemon" and "sud" in /system/xbin. This removes root, but it still fails the SafetyNet check, presumably because there's some other remnant of root around somewhere which is detected. Should I be deleting anything else?
- installed Magisk (which regains root), but even with the various cloaking functionality enabled it still fails SafetyNet. I'm assuming that's because the stock firmware image (even after removal of the su files) is failing SafetyNet and Magisk can only preserve the SafetyNet status if it originally passed.
Does anyone have instructions to successfully unroot the T95Z Plus 3G/32GB please? ... or alternatively a unrooted firmware image that can be loaded onto it please?
Many thanks.
