I did not develop any of the following root, CWM, or Stock ROMs. I just wrote up the instructions and am using this thread to organize current and hopefully future development to make it easier to locate needed files and instructions to use the files.
No need to thank me. Thank those that really deserve it, the devs
Thanks!: jcase, Attn1, IOMonster, and any others I may have missed
Let me know if there is any suggestions to improve the instructions or if something is not clear, if there is something I may have missed, or especially if there is someone else that should be thanked.
*Note: My computer is Windows 7 64bit, directories will be different on 32bit Windows.

CWM & Root
UnRoot (Revert back to stock)
FOR GINGERBREAD May not work if you have updated to ICS. I have not tried. Let me know if you do try though
*You will need both Stock ROM and Stock Recovery to apply OTA update when/if they are released
**Restoring these will most likely wipe your data so be sure to backup first!!!
Restore stock ROM with CWM
1-Download one of the following zipped backup:
Presto-GRJ90_11282011.zip (mirror) (original firmware)
JUUS03122012.zip (mirror) (1st stock update)

FYI guys the JUUS03122012.zip file seems to be corrupt-there's no way to open it as a zip (I tried with 7-zip as well as windows explorer on multiple downloads). Does anybody have a working version of this file since Pantech isn't pushing it out?

OK, that is fixed now. I uploaded all the files through a web browser and that way seems to corrupt the files. I uploaded all the files through the drop box client on my computer now so they should all be working.
I also cleaned up the unrooting section and added the cwm backup for the latest update that was pushed out.

yes. after you root you will need to reboot once more for it to show the correct kernel version.

Great! The more places we can get information posted, the more interest we can hopefully get for this phone. I pretty much stick to XDA. If anyone else knows any other sites, feel free to quote these instructions or link to these ones.
I noticed that the cm9 file under the ROMS link was updated 4 days ago, any major changes yo those version? Also, thank you to all who is making this possible.

Since people are already in the command line you might as well just place a command for "adb reboot" here.
Great job with this post by the way. Just a suggestion for people new to all of this. Not to mention, the more they work from the command line the more they will become comfortable with it.
Just a warning. By flashing a full PDL file you are risking to brick your device in case something goes wrong, as PDL file flashes bootloader and radio.
Use it only if nothing else works.
Got native HotSpot enabled.
Hello there,
First-off, i would like to thank the Chainfire for the SuperSU files and the Kingroot for making the rooting process easier.
As far as i am aware, it is pretty hard to root this device. It runs on a Spreadtrum chipset sc7731. However, recently i figured out how to root this device.
->> REQUIREMENTS:
1. Minimal adb and fastboot tool.
2. Kingroot app.
3. As usual, a working brain.
->> METHOD:
It seems like that the device's default.prop file comes with a configuration :
Code:
ro.secure=1
which makes it impossible to root this device with absolutely any rooting software out there including the one-click apps.
To be able to root this device, the only efficient way is to replace the stock recovery with a custom one, deleting the default su binary file inside the /system/xbin folder as well as in the /system/bin folder, installing the SuperSU.zip file and finally by installing the Kingroot apk which will ultimately root the device.
I personally prefer the TWRP but there is no official release out there for this device. So, i ported a custom recovery for it in my spare time ( It may appear somewhat ridiculous but i had nothing more interesting to do so i changed the layout :silly
I have attached the recovery file below as well as the SuperSU.zip files below.
After you have downloaded the recovery as well as the SuperSU.zip, here are the steps to root it:-
Download the minimal adb fastboot for windows. You may google it, its available easily. (It turns out it may be the only tool that may work effectively in case your device is not getting recognized by any other adb.)
Rename the recovery as twrp and place it inside the Minimal adb and fastboot folder.
Connect the device via a USB cable and make sure adb debugging is on inside the developer options.
Now open the Minimal adb and fastboot tool and type the following commands inside the prompt:-
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Type the commands in the exact sequence. Your device will boot normally. Now, time to checkout the recovery. Type the following command inside the prompt
.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
In a few seconds, you will have the custom twrp booted in front of you. Now, open the Mount tab inside the recovery and check the system option within it.
Head back to the recovery homescreen and open the Advanced tab which is followed by opening the File Manager tab.
Inside the file manager, follow the path to the pre-existing su binary file, i.e /system/xbin and delete it. Do the same with the su file present on /system/bin.
Now, head back to the recovery home ,open Install tab and select the SuperSU.zip wherever you placed it and swipe to confirm the installation.
Reboot system. (It will probably boot without the logo so don't worry if it does.)
Now Google the Kingroot.apk, download it and install it. Give it a run, it will probably fail.
So get rid of the other superuser app i.e, SuperSU app via the option present inside it, i.e "Cleanup to install other superuser app" or something like that.
After a few seconds, it will disappear from the device and probably the same might happen with the Kingroot app.
Reboot the device.
Re-install the Kingroot app and run it again.
Congrats! You just rooted your device. Go ahead and check the root via an app like Rootchecker.
The custom recovery file has been attached and happens to be in the .zip format so kindly extract the recovery from it.
If you have any query regarding this, do let me know. :v
(I would be glad if you or anyone who finds this post useful would thank me) Cheers!
hello everyone ..... i will share the root trick without ubl (unlock bootloader)
this method only applies to root magisk only.
this trick I have tested with mobile phone huawei y5 2017 with android version 6.0
and xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk ..
what you prepare as follows:
1.Firmware same with your phone type (my recommendation is flash FW on your phone)
2.Boot.img from the appropriate firmware of your phone type
3.magisk manager
execution steps:
1. make sure the phone is connected internet
2. open the phone settings to activate usb debugging and install the source check from the outside in the security settings.
3. copy boot.img into sdcard on phone
4. install magisk manager application and open the application,
go to the settings on the top left and search "booted boot output format and you can choose according to your needs (if select img.tar, this works with Odin samsung). make your choice (if img = flash with fastboot or spflashtool, ufibox.
go back and select pairs and you will see 3 options "download zip, patch boot img file, install "
please select "patch img boot file" select file and search boot.img stored in sdcard and ok ... magisk manager will download automatically ... just wait until there is installation process is complete.
after finished you see its results in the internal memory in the folder "magisk manager"
there is a file named "patched_boot.img" that means success
copy patched_boot.img to laptop / pc and rename it to "boot.img" and flash it with the appropriate tool of your phone.
if boot.tar in flash with odin
if boot.img flash with spflashtool (if your chipset is mtk)
just install patched_boot.img your phone is rooted
thanks to @topjohnwu
I am sorry, my English is not good
*remember that all the risks in modification are at risk and I am not responsible for all your failures .....
thanks for visiting and hopefully to suc ...

Instructions for unlocking the bootloader on Android 12 (Realme UI 3.0).
1. First of all, you need to roll back to Android 10 (Realme UI 1.0) in this way — https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1018185&view=findpost&p=108649502 .
2. Then unlock the bootloader according to the instructions from here — https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1018185&view=findpost&p=108311204 .
3. After you will need to download the Android 11 firmware (Realme UI 2.0) from this link — http://rms01.realme.net/SW/realme service/realme 7 5G/20680/RMX2111GDPR_11_C.09_2022011518240000.zip .
4. After that, you need to unpack it to any folder on your PC. Next , you find a file with the extension in the unpacked files .ofp and unpack it using the MCT OFP Extractor program to another separate folder.
6. After completing the process, you search in the resulting file folder for four files that are parts of the super partition image with the .img extension. Having found them, you open the folder with adb tools and run from it
the command line, after which the smartphone, switched to Fastboot mode (it can also be flashed in Fastbootd, is flashed both there and there), connect to the PC and flash these files in the order in which they are located in the folder with this command, changing only the name of the file being flashed:
fastboot flash super file name.img
7. At the end, you run the program to bypass the protection in the SP Flash Tool and this utility itself, specify in it as Scatter and Authentication files the files from the last folder (into which the extension file was unpacked.ofp), connect a smartphone in Bootrom mode, disable protection and flash all remaining files.
8. Then you download this Android 12 firmware (Realme UI 3.0) — https://rms01.realme.net/sw/RMX2111GDPR_11_F.04_2022080921130000.zip and repeat steps 4 to 7, flashing files already from it.
In the end, you will get a smartphone on the latest firmware with an unlocked bootloader, if you do everything right.
Not working
Hi. How to fix it ?
I want to root my device. Will twrp 3.6.0 from mastersenpai05 work on MIUI 14.0.1?
it seems to me that this TWRP is A11 and MIUI 14 A13.
No need for TWRP to root.
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
***On some devices, disable-verity is required.
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
