So we just managed to get our Huawei P9 Plus (VIE-AL10C00B106) successfully rooted
0.) *** if you have your Bootloader UNLOCK Code from Huawei, jump to STEP 3 ****
1.) downloaded DC-Unlocker, created a account, added 4 Credits(4EUR) to account. Device should have USB DEBUG Mode enabled and you need to enable 'Manufacture' mode: in dial pad type *#*#2846579#*#* - you enter the "Project Menu", go to "Background settings" -> "USB ports settings" and switch to "Manufacture mode". Dont forget to have your device Drivers (ADB) installed
2.) Once your P9 Plus is normal booted, start DC-Unlocker (here we tested 1.00.1299) , select "huawei phones" with "auto detect" and hit the Search-Button. Your device should be found and listed with IMEI, FW ect.
If you have entered your account details under "SERVER" in dc-unlocker, you can now use the "read bootloader" Button to get your bootloader unlock code - your Credits are GONE then. SAVE THIS CODE BEFORE CLOSING DC-UNLOCKER!!!!!!
3.) Boot your device in fastboot - screen should show "locked" as status on the white screen. Type command "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXX" (replace the XXXX with your unlock code from DC Unlocker)
4.) Phone Screen should show a WARNING Message and offer to press VOL UP to UNLOCK phone - WARNING, if you select UNLOCK and press PWR Button to agree, DEVICE WILL INSTANTLY RESETED TO MANUFACTUR DEFAULT
5.) Download the Root-SuperSU-v2.65.zip (DIRECT DOWNLOAD) and put it on a SD-Card
6.) Download the TWRP3.0.2_EMUI4.1_H95X File (DIRECT DOWNLOAD)
7.) Reboot your phone and re-enable USB DEBUG Mode, dont forget to ALLOW Debugging via PC if promped. Insert your SD-Card with the SuperSU Zip into your phone if not already done.
8.) RUN TWRP3.0.2_EMUI4.1_H95X, it will reboot your phone in Fastboot mode. By pressing 1 and then enter, you will Install TWRP 3.0.20. Follow the instructions, by pressing enter again your phone should reboot
9.) while rebooting, HOLD VOL UP and VOL DOWN together pressed until Phone tell you "booting", it should boot into TWRP now
10.) On TWRP, in the right Corner, you can Switch Language from Chinese to English (selectable, dont worry). Now go to INSTALL, move to EXT_SDCARD as source and select the SuperSU ZIP -> INSTALL
the installation of SuperSU may show mounting/unmount errors, but will be installed anyway.
After Operation is done, reboot your Phone into normal Mode. You should find SuperSU installed on your device now.
Working Firmware Versions :
VIE-AL10C00B102*
VIE-AL10C00B106
VIE-AL10C00B163
If anything goes wrong, you may RESTORE your phone to TOTAL Stock by downloading
*VIE-AL10_C00B102 (initial CN nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI4.1) firmware - DOWNLOAD HERE (LINK will be added later)
Put the UPDATE.APP File (~2.8GB) (content of SDupdate_Package.tar.gz) in an folder named "dload" on your MicroSD Card and reboot phone with holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN. If the Huawei Logo appears, keep Buttons pressed until DEVICE gives you a vibration impulse. Device should now completly restore initial Firmware from SD-Card. PHONE IS LOCKED again after is operation.
****** i will add Firmware Files B102(initial full release), B106(update) and B163(latest update) LATER to this thread, need to Upload them first ******

not sure but is anyone having an issue trying to link google contacts and google calendar to the phone?
Yes, I had some problems but exported them from the web and inported them back in to the phone

how did u do that?? so u exported it from Google contacts den used their Computer software to upload it all back in?? back there is no backup made to google moving forward yeah??
anyone knows when the international ROM will be out? i heard some variants actually allow for Google accounts to sync with the phone.
Yes, exported from the web page on my PC and put the file on my phone, then opened contacts on the phone, selected inport from the menu and imported them from the file I cresated. I found no other way at the time other than moving them to your sim card on another phone, then use that sim on your P9+
Calendar and contact sync adapter work fine here, we installed the apks I posted in the mate thread...
Does this unlock also work with the International versions for example VIE-L29 ?
Could anyone test if FlashFire works?
Guys here real TWRP with decrypt option. Chinese TWRP ****. My sources are clear and free for every one

Restore Backup with: TWRP
hi, i apologize for such a noob question, but i've never rooted a phone before so i'm wondering what are the benefits of rooting the Huawei P9 plus? i understand the basic gist of what rooting does and why you'd want it for phones with heavy, heavy bloat (like, say, a Samsung S5 from a US carrier). but the VIE-AL10 unit's bloatware can mostly be uninstalled (i have the china unlocked version), and with NiLS lockscreen, Nova Launcher, and the Android N theme that i got from this forum, i was able to get the phone running mostly like a normal, clean phone without any sign of those tacky Chinese bloat.
so i'm just wondering at this point what more can root do? what do you guys plan on doing, or have done, to your P9 plus after rooting?
thanks, and apologies again if this is a really dumb question for those experienced in this.
tested on L29.
Phone unlocks but I got stuck on Encryption unsuccessful loop. I did full format, but this removed the OS completely.
I have TWRP running though
Ok working unlocked rooted xposed.
Will rooting/unlocking the bootloader void the warranty or trigger some sort of counter that cannot be reset ?

Can you unpacke and upload only oeminfo ? I don't have P9 plus , I will add in my SRK Tool huawei.
hi folks,
tomorow should be getting my hands on the Ulephone power 2.
its the 5.5 screen 4gb ram 64gb rom.
all looks good until i have seen that the normal duel sim is one is hybrid for sdcard which is the norm right,
ant
but............
usually its sim 1 is for 4g cards and the hybrid is for 2g/3g/sdcard. yeah?
well the power 2 looks like its sim slot 1 is a 2g/3g slot and the hybrid is 4g or sdcard??????????
so will have to choose 4g or sdcard??? that cant be right?
I don't try this device with sim.
I know you can use the older power (1) have a sim 4g and SD card
So i believe the power 2 have the same method.
My first steps: How to root this device? i don't find a twrp.
I try to root with kingroot kingoroot, no results
Please?
The power 2 is the same as the power wrt the sim/memory card tray; both sim slots support 4g, but only one at a time. So if you put two 4g sims in, only one of them will have 4g (you choose which one), with a sim and a memory card the 4g should default to the inserted sim, but you might have to check this in settings.
Received my power 2 a couple of weeks ago after having it on pre-order for a month and I love it (sold the original power towards the cost).
I haven't tried rooting it yet, but was thinking of trying to flash twrp for the original power and seeing if that works. The great thing about these phones is that they're very hard to brick as you can always flash them as long as they still switch on.

I'm sure it's not working the twrp from the power (1).
If you have troubles with bootloops you can flash again the facatory rom and SP flash tools.
Press the power volume + and - and SP flash tools gonna flash.
The only way is to made a twrp from the k6000 http://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-root-guide/
I don't know how, that device is almost the same...
There has been 2 ulefone Updates since launch
Android 8.0 is scheduled for end of the year.
Updates are fine, who can create a TWRP? So we can finally root the device

TWRP please!
Not so easy to do it. It will take very long time to port or build twrp
It sucks that power 2 still doesn't have root or twrp. I refuse to touch unrooted phones. I just received it as gift. I will keep it in a drawer and check next month or so.
I find that it lacks optimisation, kinda laggy in 3D/games ..
On Antutu, scores is 44000. I tested a galaxy S5 of a friend, it was 72000. For a phone that is several years older than Power 2.
I understand that it comes not with high end cpu/gpu but still..
I will copy my post from needrom website.
I have successfully rooted my two Power 2 phones. I had to port the TWRP recovery from Oukitel k6000 plus using Carliv Image Kitchen and following some online tutorials.
The only issue is, TWRP is semi functional, that is, touch doesn't work. I had to connect a mouse to my phone via OTG usb port and using some dongle to make USB smaller to fit the port. Also it comes with Russian language as default, but can be changed to English or any other as the original TWRP from Oukitel k6000+ (3rd button from second column, then click on Globe tab at the top right then choose English and the only button at the bottom to accept the change).
I am trying to fix this with no luck so far. But at least I am rooted and I was able to flash "SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip" which is the latest as of writing this. SuperSu functions properly and I am able to use AdAway.
If anyone is interested in the recovery image, I will post it. I flashed it using fastboot though after unlocking the bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock"

I would very much like to give this a go with my ulefone power 2!
Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

hello , i got a ulefone power 2 but unfortunately its not powering on. As i am from india and returning or replacing is costly and timetaking process, i need you guys to help me. I tried to flash it with software available on the website but stuck. I need some checksum.ini file which is not there in the firmware file provided. So anyone please help me. the phone doesnt even show the ulefone logo. i can just see the charging percentage when the charger is connected, then keeping it connected i tried to turn on but didnt work. keeping the charger connected ,after some time the display goes off and no mater how long you press the power button , the display doesnt show up. I can only see the notification bulb.
Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

Yeah, I had the same issue with the software that comes from Ulefone, it was asking for Checksum Generator that I have to download separately, it was like 150kb stand alone executable, you put it in the same folder of your stock ROM and wait forever for it to build the Checksum, which unfortunately didn't work since it complains about multiple RECOVRY images. So scratch that.
What you need to do, is as I did, download SP FLASH TOOL, it works great, no shinanigans or bullsh!t. It flashed the stock ROM in less than 2 minutes (around 1:30 seconds, to be exact) and revived my phone. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to use it. It is easy, just load the scatter file, for the other file, you can use the same all in one mtk file that comes with SP FLash Tool (I did this) or use the one from your STOCK ROM.
I hope that helps :good:

All I can think of, you did something wrong. Initially, while I was trying to port TWRP, I had the same issue, I was trying to save some steps by flashing the recovery after I unlocked the bootloader without rebooting, the result was TWRP was not able to see any partitions.
Flash Stock-ROM and redo the steps. If you flash the preloader you might have to OEM Unlock your phone again.
I mentioned that if you "do not flash SuperSu, the system will NOT boot to Android". Also mentioned that after you unlock the bootloader, you have to RE-ENABLE USB Debugging, and while you are at it, check to see if your bootloader is unlocked inside Developer Options.
Edit: BTW, try not to unlock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. If it is unlocked, then skip the steps for unlocking the bootloader. It might cause an issue.
These are the steps I used to flash TWRP and I was able to flash SuperSu, all rooted apps are working fine, AdAway, Lucky Patcher...etc!

Apparently if you dont flash the supersu first time you go into TWRP then it gets messy. Got the root working now. Thank you for the help and of course for the TWRP build!
Also if anyone's wondering it's possible to restore the system via fastboot. Extract the rom zip (can be downloaded from http:/ulefone.com/download/power2.html ) and flash boot, recovery and system;
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
link for sp flash tool u used.

ok what should i select there? formal all+download or download only or firmware upgarade???
IMPORTANT: It appearance that Huawei is no longer going to provide bootloader unlocking services for their devices. Because of this, this guide is of no use unless you can find a way to get a code or you just held onto the code.
Hello, this is a guide for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Huawei Ascend XT. I am writing this because the current guide is not very well written and does not contain bootloader unlock instructions. This will be split into two parts: Part 1, unlocking the bootloader, and Part 2, rooting the phone.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE!
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
1. A Huawei Ascend XT with at least 60% of battery left
2. A computer with adb drivers, fastboot drivers, and the Huawei USB drivers
3. A Micro-SD card for your backups (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS!)
4. TWRP for this phone. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933 (credits to enigma2446)
5. The ZIP containing SuperSU. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933
6. The SDK Platform Tools. These can be found on the android studio website.
PART 1: UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER1. Geting the Bootloader Unlock Code: You need to get your bootloader unlock code. You can get this by going to https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock
(EDIT: It appears that this website is down. I have read that if you PM Huawei on Twitter or call them and provide all the details of your phone, they will give you a code. I have not tested this method, bit people have said it worked with the mate 10.) and signing into your Huawei ID. If you dont have one, create one. Then, follow the instructions given to you by Huawei to get the code.
2. Enabling the Enable OEM Unlock Option: To enable this option, you must enable developer options. To do this, go to Settings>About Phone and tap the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options. turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and press Enable.
3. Enable USB Debugging: While you are still in Developer options, enable the option 'USB debugging" and press OK.
4. Booting Into the Bootloader: once you have completed the first three steps, you can now boot into the bootloader. Connect your phone to your computer, and open the Platform Tools folder you should have downloaded and extracted. Shift-Right click, and press "Open Command Window Here" or "Open Powershell Window Here", depending on your version of windows. Once it is open, make sure your device is detected by typing "adb devices". If it displays your device, you are good to continue. If not, something is not set up right on your computer or phone. Once you verified that your phone is detected, type "adb reboot bootloader".
5. Unlocking the Bootloader: Once your phone has booted into the bootloader, you can now unlock the bootloader. YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED ONCE YOU TYPED THIS COMMAND. You can unlock it by typing "fastboot oem unlock <your bootloader unlock code>". Once it has finished, you can reboot your phone, and just run through the setup fast, because you will still have to wipe it again.
PART 2: ROOTING YOUR PHONE1. Move the TWRP image you downloaded (called
Xtrecovery) to your Platform Tools folder and rename it to "TWRP.img"
2. Insert Your Micro-SD Card
3. Move the SuperSU Zip you downloaded to the SD card
4. Re-Enable USB Debugging: Enable Developer options by going to Settings>About Phone and taping the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". Back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options, and enable USB debugging, and press OK.
5. Boot Into the Bootloader: Type "adb reboot bootloader" into your open CMD window or Powershell window.
6. Verify That your Phone says that the Bootloader is unlocked
7. Type "fastboot boot TWRP.img"
8. TWRP should boot. Tap "Keep Read Only"
9. You should now be in TWRP. Go to Backup>Select Storage and choose your Micro-SD card and tap OK. Uncheck everything and check "Recovery". Then, Swipe the slider to back up your stock recovery partition.
10. Once it has finished backing up, reboot your phone to the bootloader.
11. Once it is in the bootloader, type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" to flash TWRP as your recovery. (I believe this is the point where your warrenty will be invalidated by Huawei, so be careful.)
12. When it finishes flashing TWRP, reboot your phone to TWRP by holding down the power button and volume up
13. It should boot to TWRP. Tap "Keep Read Only", then go to (YOU ARE ABOUT TO WIPE IT AGAIN)Wipe>Format Data and type yes, and hit the enter button.
14. Once it finishes, go to Backup>Select Storage, select your SD card and hit OK, then check every box to backup all six partitions, and swipe to back them up. (At the end, it may seem to get stuck at 98-99%, DO NOT STOP IT! It is generating an MD5 checksum)
15. When it finishes backing everything up, go back to the home screen of TWRP, then go to Install, navigate to where you stored the SuperSU ZIP, select it, then swipe to flash it.
16. When it finishes flashing the SuperSU ZIP, tap "Clear Cache/Dalvik" and swipe to clear them.
17. Reboot your phone. IT WILL REBOOT MULTIBLE TIMES AND APPEAR TO BE STUCK SOMETIMES, BUT DONT TOUCH IT! This is normal and it will eventually boot like normal.
That's it!
Your phone should now be rooted and have SuperSU installed. Please note that this is a Systemless root, and will be removed if you factory reset your phone.Thanks to divineBliss for creating the original instructions.

To install a custom ROM, you need the ROM you want to install, gapps depending on the ROM, and the proper firmware. The firmware you are on can be found under about phone and is the last 4 digets of the build number (in the format of B1xx). Once you are on the proper firmware, have your ROM and other things it may require, (every ROM is different), and a backup (just in case), you can flash the ROM from TWRP. Follow the instructions provided by the creator of the ROM to properly flash it.

It will not. The TWRP recovery image is device specific and might brick your device if you flash it to your phone.

Well I did not see that, so yeah, I have bricked it. IT comes up and says it is unlocked, it used to sit there then boot into the system.
So I downloaded the TWRP, tried to reboot to recovery and nothing.
Now, it just gets to the yellow warning screen, then goes black. Just bought this today on a black friday sale for 49.00
But did it for a reason. Now I would like to be able to recover it....
I was able to run adb and fastboot, so know that the drivers work, but it looks like it won't even get there now.
And it won't even go to the recovery, so I guess this phone is a real brick.
Can't seem to get the back cover off to remove the battery either.
You need a copy of the stock H1711 recovery image to use
"fastboot flash recovery H1711-stock-recovery.img" to restore the stock recovery. Until someone creates a working H1711 TWRP, I don't know where you'll find a stock H1711 recovery image file.

Optionally you put phone into bootloader/fastboot or recovery modes by typing from an adb prompt "reboot bootloader" or "reboot recovery"

You'll have to use DC Unlocker and pay to unlock until the page returns
Since unlocking the bootloader is no longer supported, I have a suggestion but am afraid to try myself.
So, download stock version of rom (aka fastboot rom). Extract, replace recovery.img with twrp (renamed to recovery.img). Restart phone in EDL mode, flash. In theory, edl is working fastboot mode so it shouldn't matter if bootloader is unlocked, correct?

Imma try this out, I’m stuck in a weird situation where my sd card slot broke. When I sent it in for service, they said it was rooted and refused to fix it. I specifically did not root it so that I could send it in for warranty service. So it’s mission to try and root, unlock boot loader etc so that I can have more storage space

1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/

So i recently bought my Samsung galaxy A 10 ,I have been trying to root it but no luck.i unlocked the bootloader, installed proper adb drivers and latest version of odin on my Pc. I was following procedures from rootmydevice.com slash root-samsung-galaxy-A10(sorry cant post external links, im new).evrything went fine up until i got to the flashing part using odin. I am not sure weather the twrp file is corrupt or I am missing something.anyone who might know please help.
here is my device info:
SM-A105F
Have you tried this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481
I'm stuck in two problems here...
1- I dont have the option OEM Unlock on my developers option. I think that it maybe because ive checked that option before and after that it desapeared... When entering on download mode, it shows OEM Lock: ON (L), i dont know if that means OEM is unlocked or locked...
2- I cant find the files in step 2: .extract the boot.img.lz4 from the AP file.
Just came here to find a root method for the SM-A105M. Seems like not a lot of love for the A10 here.. Lol Anyways, I will be testing this method I came across out tonight. I will post the link but can't confirm it's working. I'll post my results tomorrow.

Hi everybody,
I managed to root my A105FN with this method but with using the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 (no need of Magisk Canary)
It will be good to have a TWRP as welll but couldnt find a compatible one for the A10 (maybe useful for no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2 patch)
we need :
1. odin 13.3.1
2. official firmware for your device (to get the boot.img from AP_xxxx part => follow the other tutorial how to get boot.img and boot.tar magisk patched)(keep an original boot.tar, just in case stuck at boot)
3. 7zip ZS
4. Last Magisk Manager (for me was v7.3.1)
5. computer + usb cable
Warning : this root will give you big warning messages at every boot !
First you need to unlock your bootloader :
1/Under android, activate internet and go under "Developper Mode" (Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly). OEM unlock option should be there.
If not wait and retry to see if there ... (needs internet, dont know why)
2/Then go under Recovery Mode (VolUp + Power at phone boot). No method to go "Download Mode" directly for my device.
3/Under Recovery, we need to unlock the bootloader as well. I cant remember what exactly I pressed but try to press VolUp or VolUP+VolDown just after you click to reboot under bootloader... It should show you a page where you can choose to unlock bootloader by long pressing VolUP. if you dont have it, retry again ... without that no Flash possible.
Warning : this unlock will give you a big warning at every boot !
4/if you managed to unlock the bootloader, it s almost finished... know under Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
(reminder:follow the other tutorial to get the file and remember to use the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 and not the canary.)
5/when flash done, reboot by pressing VolDown+Power then immediately on reboot VolUp to go under Recovery Mode.
6/Under Recovery, erase data/factory reset and reboot to system
(7/I dont know if it s necessary the VolUp at reboot till the vibration)
8/wait the booting ... if you are stuck on the warning page for a long time, retry to reflash the original boot.tar and restart from "1/"
9/if you managed to boot under android, good news you are rooted but it s not finished yet....
Under Android check you have "OEM unlock option" under Developper Mode (cf. 1/) otherwise at the reboot the system will go KO.
So when you have "OEM unlock" enabled you can install Magisk Manager. It will ask you to install something and it will reboot automatically. That s why check you have "OEM unlock" enabled before doing that !
10/After reboot, Done. ROOTED.. enjoy ! you can reboot as you want ...
Hi everybody
Yes, I facing same everyone's problem, I see on "download mode" it's show "OEM Lock: On (L)" I try all the ways to unlock in YouTube but no any method to unlock
I try to unlock with all tools I have but useless (my tool: Z3X, Miracle box, MCT Dongle , NCK Dongle, Octopus Suite Unlock, Samkey Unlock Crack)
I try to flash Custom Rom with Odin , Try to Install "Magisk" and "TWRP" by method in many website , it's useless at all
However I think I need to unlock OEM first but I can't because OEM not show in the developer option
I try all the ways to appear the OEM Unlock toggle by a changing date, Flash tar.md5, factory reset in many website it's can't help me

Hi everybody,
er Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
Everything is about having this flash file you said you used. Please send us the link for that twrp file or whatever it is called right now as it is maybe not a Team Win Rom.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
It is not a TWRP file, it is the boot.img file from the original firmware for A10, patched with Magisk to access the root function, unfortunately it does not work, have tested it.

If you have an US variant of the A10, don't expect TWRP to work on your device.
