oooh 101 need to know how

Which version of ICS do you have? There are versions that are just not rootable, at least for now. Even other firmwares need to be rooted several times before being successful. For me, I was lucky with Official ICS v161. I managed to root it with TPSparkyRoot in just 1 try. It may have been luck too, but who knows? I have only done it once. Search the forums for the links.

Why not using the search function first?
Before you can root ICS, you have to flash the engineer version of ICS.

Good Luck!

i think you are better off if you follow Cromson's link. That is what I did to have my LU6200 rooted but I used v161 instead.

So you actually dont have the engineer version message appearing on bootscreen? Didn't know that v161 is rootable.

Hi huuhung1178! I think you should downgrade to version 142, do root & make recovery in version 142. Copy rom cook to sdcard to flash by cwm.
And here the link for root & recovery version 142:

Download & extract rar file. There are 2 folder: Root & recovery.
1.Root: Connect your phone to pc & check usb debugging on your phone, click on file TPSparkyRoot.bat & do as instruction in pc screen. Remember is reboot finish, press any button to continue.
2. Recovery: Connect your phone to pc & check usb debugging on your phone, do as instruction in pc screen.

On almost ICS rom not compatiable with games. So, few game can play but few game can't. I think there is a part from ICS rom.

best (and fastest) way is with kies simulating an emergency recovery. It downloads directly on your pc. you have only to discover the temp file in the internet download directory unzip and voilà.

Hi:
I was intrigued with your comment, Can you explain how you do that? I have limited exposure to KIES and when I tried to do an emergency recovery to get stock my device did not show up in the window. There was a prompt for a recovery code. I have no idea what that is about or where I would retrieve such a code. Thanks!

shortly:
kies3 -> connect the device (the drivers will be installed) -> select "tools/firmware upgrade and initialization" -> click yes and accept to everything ; skip backup -> some components will be downloaded and installed on PC (the device will not be affected) . At this point the appropriate firmware start to download in a temporary folder. Discover this folder via an appropriate tool ( like procmon from sysinternals.com filtering the sm-p605.exe process - in my case C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3C06.tmp). when the download is finished this file is renamed from .tmp to .zip and inside it you will find the firmware (.tar.md5). Hope it helps

What is the difference between the note 10.1 2014 November and December 4.3 firmware on Samfirmware, one is from Taiwan and one is from Afghanistan. You think there are any lag fixes in those builds? Seems weird they don't have a December build for us...

[Root][TWRP][Custom Rom] ZTE Blade L5 Plus

Hello guys,
i recently bought a ZTE Blade L5 Plus and searched the whole web for this files. After nearly 2 days of intense research i found all the files needed to root the device and setup the TWRP.
I even found a version of the Resurection Rom which runs pretty stable on this device.
I'll upload all the files needed as an .zip on Mega.
The link to download these files will be attached to this post in the next few hours.
Update:
Here's the Link to the zip file. I've written some tutorials in it.
If anyone still got some questionsdont be afraid to ask, if not fell free to hit that like button.
Donwload Gapps for Android 5.1 here: Open Gapps Project
Download my .zip file from here: Blade L5 Plus.zip
PS.: Sry for my poor english i usualy speak german but anyways i hope i helped some of u guys out.

Hi!
Did you found the stock firmware?
I have this phone.. I rooted with iroot (king root) but I don't trust in this app.
I want to install twrp and then install supersu, but I don't have the firmware stock for restore in case of brick.
Can I trust in this method to install twrp? And then backup my rom?
Edit: I read the instructions. The Stock rom is in the zip.
Ps: Sorry by my english

So your problem is solved?
This method is pretty save i used it by myself and had no problems with it. Just read the instruction and everything should be safe.

Mmm... Reading the specs of blade l5 plus, my phone have two differences,my phone have a 13 mpx camera. In the specs 8 mpx.
My phone is single sim. In the specs says dual sim.
Would these details makes a problem? I don't know. :s
How many mpx have your camera? Is dual sim your phone?

My phone has a 8,3 mpx cam on back and a 2,4 on the front.
But pls tell me the name of your phone.

Zte blade l5 plus..
I edit the last reply... My phone is single sim... I suppose your phone is dual sim..
Mmm...

Hmm. I think it could work. But i must say that i CAN NOT promise u anything.
If u have root on your device download the flashfire app from the playstore. With this app its possible to create a full backup of your phone without the need of booting in your recovery. Copy the backup to your pc.
If just want to change the root app on your phone. You only have to download the "SuperSu Me" and the "SuperSu" app on your phone.
"SuperSu Me" removes kingroot from your phone without the loss of your rootrights.
I hope this two options where helpful. If so pls hut that thanks button. It wont hurt. I promise. :b
Sent from my ZTE BLADE L5 PLUS using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks. The app flashfire sounds fine.
I would evaluate SuperSU me or install twrp then flash supersu. But... First I need backup the rom. (with mtk tools doesn't work)..

With flashfire you can also flash the recovery on your phone.

Recovery flashing using linux (ubuntu or similar)
Hi Dr_Gonzalo!
At first very thankful greetings from the other side of Austria . I just ordered a new ZTE Blade L5 Plus (Dual SIM ) and thanks to your instructions I'm confident to make it useful for my purposes (root, custom rom, ...).
Unfortunately(??!) I'm not using any Windows machines anymore but still like to get free access to my phone. So my question to you is:
is it possible to manage the process to get a custom recovery on the phone (TWRP or clockwork?!) using linux tools? Can you help me out with this or at least give me some advice to search for a solution?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Your welcome my friend.
I have to say that i never used Linux™ or any other OS before so its pretty difficult for me to offer you or anyone else with another OS than Windows™ a "safe" method for this. At the moment the only way i could think of which also could be working is flashing i via ADB Sideload but i'm not sure if it works without root (Please correct me if i'm wrong. "What i actually hope for you")
If this method isn't working for you, i can offer you my help in finding a way over Google™ and other Searchmachines. :silly:
You can search for yourself if im not fast enough for you with the Keywords:
Flashing custom rom...
...on mtk devices...
...on china phones...
...with linux...
...via adb...
Program for flashing...
...on a ZTE...
...custom recovery...
...TWRP or Clockwork Recovery...
...via linux...
and many more you know the drill.
If u have mor questions you can send me a PM or you can ask it in thus thread.
I hope i was able to help you "At least a little bit.????".

Just download the package all u need is in there, if u worry about the time it takes to download this "big" file, u can use Mega Downloader.
This program uses a pro account to get the full download speed etc.
But i have to say that i'm not sure about the legality of this program. Think about this before u use it!

In the first case, you still have at least the Lenovo recovery, you can choose the "Update Rom" tab and it will guide you through the steps.
In the second case, you have completely changed your ROM to a custom one with custom recovery, you will have to choose "Device Rescue" tab. You will need your model number and HWCode (present on the phone under the battery I think, or in the box) to download the last up to date ROM, and then flash it. Just follow the steps.
I must admit that It did not always work for me, so I had to go through a little more trouble :
- downloading stock rom from here (thanks to shreps) : https://moto.shreps.fr/?dir=Lenovo Vibe K5 (A6020)/ROM/StockFirmwares
- using QFIL to flash it (find some thread that describes it)
- using some trick to be able to update the ROM via OTA (avoiding the message : "your phone does not switch carrier")
Search on xda, all solutions are here, but I hope the simple way works for you

HONOR 8X MAX root

Hello Friends:
There isn't an HONOR 8X MAX forum, so I have to post here (for now).
Recognizing that there are non-trivial differences between the HONOR 8X and HONOR 8X MAX, does anyone know if a root solution is soon coming for the HONOR 8X MAX?
For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.
Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).
Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?
Thank you (and happy holidays)! ??

There is a way to do it, just look in this forum as there is a root solution already if you don't want to use it, you can always use adguard for example, as it works quite well

I'll have to look harder because I couldn't find one for the 8X MAX, only the 8X. If you have a URL for it, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries. Thank you.
P.S. I'm trying to avoid ads in apps in addition to the browser. Not that I'm selfish... I nearly always buy ad-free versions of items (including reasonably-priced yearly subscriptions) to support developers. But some apps don't offer that option.
(._.) Not to get off-topic, I'll welcome Root + AdAway again. Thanks.

Hi... I have the ARE-AL10 model. From your signature, yours may be a ARE-AL00 model (I suspect). I think it may be Snapdragon 660 versus 636. I don't know if it makes a difference?

I guess there's no root -- so far/ to date -- for HONOR 8X MAX.
These are great phones at value prices (unlike the $1,000/yr. upgrade treadmill that Samsung would like to continue).
But we do need ROOT to overcome oddities with Chinese phone builds (i.e. Huawei, Xiaomi) - several of which are not trivial and really problematic. :-/

Would the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro root/twrp work with The honor 8x max ?

For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.
Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).
Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?
Thank you (and happy holidays)!

If you are just look for adblocker you can get it even without root
use Blokada ad blocker it doesnt require root.

Thank you. I find that these no-root ad blockers don't work well within Apps (and what gets through varies from app to app), including Blokada which I tried. Also, I require root for other reasons. Thank you for the tip, though.

Thank you for that link. I might have to wait for that one to mature (iterations). It's hard to gauge all the challenges and pitfalls after translation. Did you install it?

Really like the big screen but no 4g lte issue is killing this phone. We need to root it.

This TWRP works to flash magisk it's just the backup feature doesn't work,I wish shao would help with the backup thing I've tried everything on Google to get it to backup stock rom but I get 255 error non stop cause I think it's having issues backing up encrypted data

Hi:
Which TWRP and instructions for installing it are you referring to? I would like to read how to install it. Thank you.

You have to register with 4pda and believe me it's a pain in the ass to figure out the captha because it's all in Russian,if shao would post a link to a non Russian site would be great but he still hasn't yet

Ah okay, thank you. I think I visited the same site you're mentioning and stayed away because, being in Russian, could lead to mistakes and brick the phone. ?
Forgive my ignorance, you mentioned "Shao". I don't know who that is. Did he create the 'root'? Thanks again.

Yeah he made TWRP compatible with 8x max

Thank you. I guess I'll (we'll) wait more, and if I (anyone) finds new developments, share them here.
