ROOT:http://www.thlmobilestore.com/news/thl-mobile-phone-root-method/
After you root your phone you can install supersu from playstore and you ready.
You can also root it with the installation of twrp.
RECOVERY:http://www.needrom.com/mobile/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000/
Download from playstore and use MobileUncle to flash recovery, place .img file into root of your memory.
you have to have the twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000 recovery.img file of your phone before you flash it put them in your sd card
Instruction :-
1 first root your phone
2 install mobile uncle tool.apk
3 open mobile uncle tool
4 select flash recovery then select the twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000 recovery
5 then reboot your done with flashing recovery
Another way to install the twrp is with the flashtool, download it from needrom also download the factory rom from needrom, run the flash tool program locate the scatter file in the factory rom then go to recovery and locate the twrp file uncheck all the files except the recovery file ,then change to download only and press download, this procedure must be done without the phone connected, after you press the download button switch off your phone then keep pressing the red reset button behind the first sim slot insert the usb cable and then release the reset button the procedure should start if the procedure don’t start it means that you’re missing the preloaded drivers of mtk.
With this way you can also installed a factory rom.
Tips:Xposed Framework and Gravity box after the latest update v3.4.0 are working perfect.
For Titanium Backup and Mobileuncle to make it work,change the supersu,install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
if you want you can download the zip file and install it from twrp.
Factory roms:

Great device
HHow about battery life and screen on time?
Yes excellent device, I have received the phone yesterday and I was trying to root it and installed the recovery so I don't have screenshots of the battery yet, one is thing is that the phone was at 4% the previous day and it last about 2 hours of 3/4 of use before it shut down.

this phone is almost perfect! sucks there is not a 900/2100 3g unit
i'm predicting 10 hours screen on time
Thank you for this post, I'm considering this for my next phone and I was wandering about rom customization. The original rom is good?
I don't know this brand, I'm wondering if it is compatible with cyanogenmod or miui, do you know?

Compatible with MIUI, it is easily ported throughout all mtk6592 devices. Not cyanogenmod though
It seems that the major drawback for development is mediatek not releasing the source codes, but they seem to be trying to change, they opened the mediatek labs to give support to developers. Don't know how this will work though... I hope they finally release the source codes soon.
Edit: I've seen a video stating this phone has an amprius battery, it's a company that is supposed to be making major breakthroughs in battery development... anyone knows how to confirm this?

Click to expand...

This phone has a 4.35v 5000mAh 19.00Wh Silicon Anode Lithium-polymer (Li-po) Battery.
Amprius (Brand) is Lithium-ion (Li-ion) .... (Google it) ... http://www.amprius.com/
I'm leaving mine alone until the warranty runs out....Might root it though.
I'm just put in 'Next Launcher Pro' and using that rather than the MiUi.
The original rom is actual pure android with some themes,if you install the xposed framework and gravity box you can edit the rom as cyanogenmod,about miui sure,cyanogenmod i do not think so.

You can try a different way, just install the rcovery in the link that I have provide follow the instructions there and when you boot into recovery mode and exit it will ask you if you want to root your phone.

I have solved thanks the suggestion of a needrom user
I have made a factory reset then i have used Vroot (Chinese version) and the root works
Make that I install superuser from the play store which automatically replace the Chinese version of superuser
Thanks to everyone for the help
Got 2 of those in the mail
<Sorry if this is a little off-topic>
My first concern was the GPS - so I rooted one of them, installed MT GPS EPO Fix, FasterGPS & GPS Status.
GPS seems to zero in after 2 seconds. I'd like to note that when "sensor filtering" was set to "none" in GPS Status, it would see the satellites but not acquire a fix. With any other option it's ok.
(I didn't test the performances before applying these mods - I'll try it with the other phone later)

Anyone get their fitbit working with this phone
I love my fitbit but its recently not working with this THL 5000 although its supposed to support BT LE...

The procedure is this:
1)Download the firmware and unzip in one folder....
2) turn off the phone....
3) run flashtool and select scatter file from the firmware folder
4) in flashtool app... make firmware upgrade button if you want to flash all the firmware or download only if you want to flash only one file or a part of firmware... Like the two ebr files to increase the memory in primary partition
5)only now connect the usb cable to the phone
6) now the procedure will start... .. And you probably see the bars start.
Remember that if first you didn't have installed the drivers to recognize the phone you will hear only one o two beep that means that the phone is connected with usb cable but you will not able to flash it

Has anyone rooted this phone successfully?
The shop where I bought it from replied to the same question that it isn't safe yet so they didn't rooted before shipping.
Sure... The procedure to obtain the right root is described in first page

I guess the first option for rooting this phone (using vroot) should be removed.
I downloaded from developer's site the "apk" file and the antivirus found a threat (I ve attached a screenshot) !
Then, I googled about the vroot application (as I ve never used it before nor heard of it) and I got results that vroot Windows application is concerned to be malware, even though a lot of people has already used it for rooting their phones .
Dunno, I ll just pass the vroot option. I ll post at a later time if I ever root this phone following the second option.

This is a collection thread of the Fastboot ROMs files for Mi1/1S/2/2S/2A/3/Pad.
"http://en.miui.com/thread-14641-1-1.html"
Fastboot is one way to flash ROMs to your phone, it's safer than flashing in Recovery mode. Different phones enter Fastboot mode differently, e.g. for Xiaomi devices, you should turn off your phone, and hold the Volume+ & the Power button at the same time. You could find the way for you device using Google. When flashing ROMs in fastboot mode, you should connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
The files are arranged reverse from the latest ROM version, please pay attention when downloading.
You could use Ctrl + F to quickly find the ROM version you're looking for.

Please make sure you power off the device before inserting sim cards.
You need to use the correct size sim.
Does your sim definitely work in another phone with the same frequency bands?

Currently running row ROM on nvidia shield tablet but battery life has become terrible in the last few updates. At least it gets hspa+ in USA and LTE elsewhere on the planet. And the big + was never had to wait on ATT to bless an update!
Going to use this Chuwi to replace a pipo m6 pro w/custom rom Itravel with.
Let us know all about it as soon as you get it!
Edit: Now they say shipping 5/15.....maybe I should get interest on the cash I gave them 4/15.....???
Will hold tight. I have time to cancel if the first hands on reviews are terrible!

Hi! I just started looking into Chuwi products. I'm anxious to hear your review of the Hi9! I also would like to know why did you choose the Hi9 and not the Hi10?
Thank you!

Hi, I’m still running some benchmarks, I will post a review soon.
One important point to note, this is the Chuwi Hi9 Air not Hi9. Big difference!

I didn't note that difference, thank you for pointing that out. I have to modify my searches!

Well, if I should ever receive mine I am glad to see they may update a few things! Ordered 4/15 still not shipped. Thanks much for your unboxing on YT. Hopefully the updates won't disable any wifi or cellular bands!

You say in the video that there will be no custom rom flashing due to A-Only, how does that correspond with the fact that A-only system.imgs are available?

And is the Android Security Patch updated in the new OTA?

I checked, all the bands are still there! The LTE is apparently up to cat 6.
