[GUIDE] Rooting Teclast X16Plus (for both Remix OS 2.0 and Default Android 5.1)

(I wrote the 'new' version of rooting out of memory / conjecture, it should not do irreversible harm to your tablet, however, always apply common sense and proceed with caution. Caveat - I am neither a developer nor software engineer.)
'New' version of rooting procedures can be carried out with relative ease now that @krustymars has done the heavy lifting and ported TWRP to Teclast X16Plus; applies to both native android 5.1.1 and Remix 2.0.
In his write-up, it wasn't mentioned that TWRP can only be installed if X16 Plus's bootloader is 'OEM unlocked' and ROM will only boot if X16 Plus's boot image is patched (insecured), after the flashing of TWRP.
To unlock is not difficult (fastboot oem unlock), but it will also wipe /data of the ROM (making it unbootable too?). Question mark here as I am uncertain whether this action will render the ROM unbootable or not. For the sake of not doing double jobs, we assume it will.
The third condition for the ROM to first boot properly after flashing is the original recovery must be present (again I am not sure if a patched boot image will do the trick; for the same reason above, we assume it won't)
Therefore the only way out is to ensure the bootloader is not re-locked after the flashing of ROM, for us to be able to flash an effective TWRP AFTER the ROM has finished its first boot.
I believe the above are the main reasons why @stratos7 faced difficulties when intending to root via TWRP.
A simple and rudimentary step by step guide as below (you will LOSE ALL DATA in the tablet, backup all your important stuffs before proceeding):
1) Rename the ROM's original recovery.img to recovery.org. Copy krustymars' TWRP over and rename it recovery.img
This is to ensure that after the flashing, the reboot process will fail and the script will not re-lock the bootloader
2) Flash the ROM as per normal (enter DNX Fastboot by pressing vol+ vol- and power button concurrently, then use Intel Platform Flash Tool Program to flash).
3) After a successful flash, the tablet will enter recovery (TWRP) first time during reboot, and failed. It will be stuck in a boot loop (showing TWRP error).
4) Force shut it by pressing the power button for 10-15secs.
5) Enter fastboot by pressing vol- and power button concurrently.
6) Flash the orginal recovery via adb fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7) Reboot normally and the ROM will load properly (1st successful boot will take a while; as long as you see the Remix OS logo flashing, all are good).
8) 10x click on Build Number to activate Developer's Menu
9) Activate USB debugging
10) Reboot into fastboot by typing
adb reboot fastboot
11) Check to ensure that bootloader is still unlocked.
12) Flash krustymars' TWRP
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_TeclastX16Plus_by_krustymars.img
13) Flash patched boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
14) Choose Recovery Mode, ensure X16 Plus boots into TWRP fine
15) Reboot into ROM from TWRP
16) If you are satisfied that all are fine after rebooting into the ROM, and have copied the latest downloaded SuperSU.zip flashable file into the Internal or Micro SD memory, you can either adb reboot fastboot or shutdown the tablet and vol- power button into fastboot, and then choose Recovery Mode from within fastboot to enter TWRP to flash SuperSU to get root.
Do note that you cannot update binaries within Android, you can update the SuperSU app though if a new version comes up in Play store, just not the binaries. If your binaries become outdated, you will need to flash the latest SuperSU.zip again via TWRP.
The necessary files (minus SuperSU, do grab that from Chainfire's site) - https://www.mediafire.com/?3blso8sjw4kb3e6
Once again, proceed with caution / common sense and the above shouldn't land you in any irreversible situation. All the best!

OLD METHOD
The below instructions for rooting Teclast X16 Plus originated from Teclast's forums. All credits go to the respective creator(s), I merely translated them to post here.
1) Download the standard rooting package from http://www.mediafire.com/download/nrez4ggzau1u8ax/Root.X16Plus.V1.zip
2) Download your corresponding edited boot image file and extracted build prop file (for either Remix OS 2.0 ver B2016062701 or Android 5.1 ver 1.07)
- for Remix OS http://www.mediafire.com/download/b6aazky2y9eqch7/Remix_OS_2.0.zip
- for Android 5.1 http://www.mediafire.com/download/zz40a8cgav385l3/android5.1.zip
3) Download and install Intel's tools and drivers in the order below - http://www.mediafire.com/download/p723or9hxip5eu8/Intel_Flash_Tools.rar
You can omit this step if these drivers are already installed.
- iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0.exe
- IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.zip
- PhoneFlashToolLite_5.5.2.0_win32.exe
4) Download kingroot tool from below, copy the apk file to your X16 Plus and install. There is no need to run the installed app now.
5) Ensure USB debugging is switched on under developer options in your ROM
6) Unzip both the rooting package and your corresponding edited boot image and extracted build.prop files. Cut and paste the unzipped boot image and build prop files into the unzipped rooting package directory.
7) Launch command prompt and change directory to the unzipped rooting package directory
8) Connect your X16 Plus via USB
9) Type and enter - adb reboot bootloader
10) X16 Plus will reboot into fastboot mode
11) Type and enter - fastboot flash boot boot-root.img
12) Type and enter - fastboot reboot
13) X16 Plus will reboot into normal mode, wait for the bootup process to finish
14) Type and enter - su.bat
15) Run the previously install Kingroot app, Kingroot will prompt you to repair root privileges, allow it to do so.
16) Reboot your X16 Plus after the above repair and you will have full root access. If root access is still incomplete, run the above step 14) su.bat command again

Just one thanks cannot say how much grateful I am. THANKS. It work.

Thanks a lot Potatohead ! You rock !
I will try this instruction and post a feedback as soon as possible !

potatohead,
I have just finish to root my tablet. It's very easy and everything is fine.
Once again, thanks a lot ! :good:

great job !!
all are OK under win XP
Thx

Hi @potatohead , Hi @TrYkeR ,
I've just discovered a new firmware V1.07 for our X16 plus on the Teclast website (in the download section) . My tablet is running with the V1.04 version.
Do you know you to flash it, cause TeclastOTA is unable to ugrade it both with the Online mode ("undiscover new version") and the Local mode ?
Reno.

I'm using 1.07, I use a tutorial from their webside.
The big problem is download the firmware, their server sucks a lot. I use jdownload since chrome crash 2 times and do not recover the download
Firmware:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nvKVjnF
https://yadi.sk/d/TrUPzmkXsFrXJ (mirror)
here they talk about it:
http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/teclast-x16-plus-i-want-to-change-from-v-1-04-to-v-1-07/
I didn't find the post that I use, but was really easy, like paste the .img files into a folder, put teclast plus in "download mode", they called it diferent, and run an script (.bat)

Hi @TrYkeR,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I searched for the tuto but I didn't find it too (I already have the V1.07 download). I do not want to do it by myself, i'm not enough confident.
If you find it...

Hello friends,
I have the same question.... is better remixos or android 5.1 firmware 1.0.7?
Thanks a lot !!

Thanks in advance!

So did anyone else happen to pick this up from tinydeal while they had it for $79? Not sure if it's arriving with 5.1 or Remix, but this is good to know.

[Guide] Return to Stock and Re-lock Bootloader

You may find that you need to return to stock/locked bootloader for various reasons. You can find how to do this by digging throughout various threads on this forum. decided to simplify things and bring it together in a single thread. After restoring you will be able to do OTA updates as well.
FLASHING FACTORY 5.8.019S
STEP 1: Download the backup
-- Source Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/le-pro-3-lex727-twrp-backup-eui-5-8-019s-t3504761
-- FILE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5xyvHc4wgEVWHFKMWZqLWEyTTg/view?usp=sharing
Note: There is a TWRP backup for 20s currently on this forum. I do not recommend using it. Many have had issues booting after restoring it (me included).
STEP 2: Setup TWRP Backup Directory
If you download it to your PC use adb to push it to your device. You should have an existing directory within /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ that holds your backups. I believe the directory is your device id.
If the directory does not exist, you need to get the info from your device.
Code:
Run adb devices
It will be the hash listed by your device. Make a directory in TWRP/BACKUPS/ with the device id. Mine is "6293eaef".
For example, any backups that I want to restore to my device from TWRP need to be located in a sub-directory within: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/6293eaef/
At that point you should have the directory you need to copy the backup into.
STEP 2: Copy the Backup (originally named TWRP.zip) to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/6293eaef/stock
Do the following if you downloaded it to your computer:
Code:
adb push TWRP.zip /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/DEVICE_ID/stock/
adb shell
cd /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/DEVICE_ID/stock/
unzip TWRP.zip
If you downloaded to your device, you just need to move the zip file to the TWRP backups directory and extract it.
STEP 3: Restore in TWRP
Boot into TWRP recovery (if not already there).
Code:
adb reboot recovery
OR
Code:
hold volume up and press power button
RESTORE the backup.
I selected everything. This will install default recovery and remove TWRP.
Do a FULL wipe AFTER flashing. Be sure to wipe the data partition to clear any encryption.
[OPTIONAL] RESTORE LOCKED BOOTLOADER X727
This should not be necessary for X720 devices because the bootloader comes unlocked. I would only suggest re-locking if you need to return your device for warranty support.
To lock the bootloader you need to flash emmc_appsboot.mbn and xbl.elf from an OTA
Step 1: Get 5.8.020s OTA
-- File: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767124419
After downloading extract 5.8.020S_sta.zip.
Inside the firmware-update folder are 2 files: xbl.elf, and emmc_appsboot.mbn. You need to flash both of these files in the bootloader to relock it.
Step 2: Boot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
OR
Code:
From power off, hold volume down and then press the power button.
Step 3: Flash stock bootloader from OTA zip
Run the following commands while in the firmware-update folder you extracted from 5.8.020S_sta.zip
Code:
fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
The bootloader is now locked again.
Run
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
and then
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
to verify.
NOTE: I found that after using this method to re-lock the bootloader I could no longer use the guide for persistent bootloader unlocking.
If you want to unlock the bootloader again later, you need to manually flash the emmc_appsboot.mbn from the file in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...7-model-persistent-bootloader-unlock-t3500388
FILE: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668275431
I hope that some of you find this helpful. Please let me know if there is any additional information that I should add to this thread. I will update it as needed.
Cheers!

bootloader in x720 is already unlocked from LeEco

Hello folks,
I am using T.A.R.S. 21S EUI 5.8 USA version and TWRP 3.1.0
How do I return to stock? stock recovery, locked bootloader, and stock ROM so that I can get OTA updates?
I already tried:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-...oader-t3539513
I am able to restore successfully, but I am not able to install any OTA update with this and device is stuck with 19S only. I tried both local update and OTA update. UE boots into EUI recovery and says "Installation failed". I tried both 20S and 21S updates.
I think latest is 23S now.
Thanks

What device?

Hello. I want to return to stock x720 ROM. I won't to flash US version, so I need CN backup? Or how to do?
I flashed custom Recovery (TWRP), Kernel (BlackScreen), OS (AICP) and Root (Magiskv12). Should I flash trough recovery lastest official OS version?

I had to send the phone back to LeEco for repair, so needed to go stock.
Glad I found this post, thanks OP.
I tried the steps, all seemed to work okay, but now I am stuck at the leeco boot logo.
I can get to bootloader:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device product name: [le_zl1_oversea]
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Serial console enabled: false
(bootloader) Serial hw output enabled: false
I can also get to stock recovery, wipe data and update with update.zip
I think the phone is missing OS or something.
Please help.

HwOTA7 and HwOTA8 for Huawei P10 Lite

HwOTA7 + HwOTA8 for Huawei P10 Lite​1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
and will be repack firmware (only HwOTA8)!!!
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"

for anyone wondering, I solved Magisk installation on oreo!
use .app extractor to get the RAMDISK image, patch it with magisk app on the phone. then use fastboot to install to ramdisk partition, like so
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_image.img
hope this helps

maybe you need to do both kernel and ramdisk images seperately

If you mean that: http://www.mediafire.com/file/icpfjhw9eysjlao/FIGO321.img (TWRP-3.2.1-0 for Huawei P Smart)
I've not test yet if it's fully comatible, but you can enter into TWRP and seems to works.
Reboot into fastboot and enter the command:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk FIGO321.img
recovery_ramdisk partition in Android 8 is the Recovery

Guide to check and change fingerprint from CN to WW with final Android 9 1910.64 RAW

FIrst off many thanks to @vhercastillojr (as this thread is essentially his) and Chicken from the Vietnam telegram group for providing the RAW's/img's
********** DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I am not liable to any damage if you accidentally brick your device. This will void your warranty, if you had one. Also, using this method you won't be able to revert back to CN roms, lock your bootloader again and recieve OTAs, your device will be blacklisted by Asus ************
NOTE: To check your current fingerprint, download and install device info HW from the playstore. Under 'system' you'll find the current rom (CN or WW), the product id and fingerprint - they all need to match to be able to update your device later
NOTE 2: The main guide below skips early roms straight to last Android 9 for ROG II. For one user it didn't work and they had to use the previous, unedited guide which was based on 1910.35 RAW. If the below guide fails to update follow the additional guide at the end of this post.
----------
0) Download the ROG phone unlock tool and copy it on your phone and install it then run it. The phone will boot twice. DO NOT PRESS POWER TO STOP THE BOOT. It will wipe your data automatically. This will unlock your bootloader. EDIT: NEWER VERSION OF THE TOOL CAN BE FOUND here
NOTE: this will void your warranty, if you had one, with Asus, even if you re-lock your bootloader later... (Although, having bought mine as an import from China, I'm think the warranty only stands with the seller - in my case, 1 year, not Asus - but i may be wrong)
1) Download the WW International RAW rom from here
2) Extract the file on your PC. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button, Fastboot mode is the 1st screen you come across, the one with the options to Start, boot to recovery, etc...) connect to the side port and run "flashall_AFT.cmd" wait for it to finish and the phone will restart itself (it will take a number of minutes to complete, with the cmd window open all the time. If the cmd window only flashes up and closes down, then check the rest of the notes with this step).
NOTE: you need to remove or delete the original zip from the raw folder once extracted as it confuses the Flashall_AFT.cmd with the raw rom and zip having the same name. Also, it can help to extract to the root of C drive.
3) Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot app (windows). Install it on your PC to root of C drive
4) Download the rootww191064.img and place it in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) from here
5) Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot by double clicking ''cmd-here.exe''. Switch the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button) then type "fastboot flash boot rootww191064.img" without quotation marks
NOTE: you can also check your device is recognised in fastboot mode by the pc/laptop by running ''fastboot devices'' cmd which should show your device serial
6) Reboot the phone and connect it to PC, copy and install Magisk and Root Explorer
Magisk
root explorer
-run magisk, (update if necessary) and grant access to root explorer (after opening root explorer you should be prompted by magisk to gain root access, click 'allow')
7) Open the Root Explorer App on you phone. Then from the app, select Mount R/W to R/O. Search for "/vendor/factory" folder and Edit the file content COUNTRY from CN to WW (ALL Capital). Scroll to "/system/etc/AsusTheme/themes" then delete the hidden file to enable the hidden themes.
8) Restart the Phone. You are done. Check again with device info HW that your fingerprint has indeed been successfully changed.
From here, if you want to be on latest Android 10, download version 2004.60 from here (full zip), place it in root of internal storage and reboot. That'll bring you to A10.
NOTE: For those of you that are rooted: Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
Repeat the process for latest (currently 2012.65) using the same link above. Your phone should hopefully skip the other versions and be straight to latest. If not, you'll have to go through 2007.27, 2009.49 and finally to current latest 2012.65. Repeat the process mentioned above for keeping root if so desired
----------
For anyone still running early roms that 1910.64 won't flash directly to, use the same guide above but with the following corrections:
2) Follow the exact same instructions but using this 1910.35 RAW
4) Download root and stock boot img's and extract them to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
5) Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot by double clicking ''cmd-here.exe''. Switch the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button) then type "fastboot flash boot rootww191035.img" without quotation marks
NOTE: you can also check your device is recognised in fastboot mode by the pc/laptop by running ''fastboot devices'' cmd which should show your device serial
After doing the ammended steps above for 1910.35, follow the rest of the guide to change fingerprint, then update to 1910.64 zip, place it in root of internal storage and reboot.
NOTE: For those of you that are rooted: Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
******************* Thanks to @Barbatos19, who suggested I make video. Sorry to say I wont be, BUT several of you guys have recommended THIS VIDEO as a good reference guide... Hope it helps some others *******************
Finally(!!!), apologies that this post has become cluttered with instructions, I have tried to cater for all you and all eventualities!! Good luck

Which rom version are running, if it's already 1910.35 then you can skip the flashing rom part. But if it's different, you need to follow each step

Edit; didn't realise you were at this stage... Are you sure the flashing of the raw rom worked OK? Did you a cmd window open for a good 5-10 mins while the rom flashed?

Will KingRoot app work to root this phone? Don't want to have to wipe data to root.
I am pretty sure it won't, but humor me. Or is their something else out there that works?

One moment, I'll check the links... And yes, that is the only unlock tool available from asus website...
EDIT: yes, the zip file to download in step 4 needs to be extracted. it contains both the root boot img and stock img for later on when you unroot etc (both root and stock boot img's are for 1910.35). you need to place the rootww191035.img in the same folder as adb... and do the same for the stock boot.img for later use... read the instructions carefully...

in step 4) you download a .zip file that conatins BOTH rootww191035.img AND boot.img - the boot.img IS the stock boot for unrooting 1910.35, you need to extract both img's to adb folder on your pc.

What you downloaded is not, I think, the raw rom, its the update zip for those who have already changed fingerprint and are simply updating... Please use the links in 1st page...

He forgot the first & second step... Which are the most important:
1. Turn OFF screen lock (pattern, pin or code)
2. Log out from Mi Account (if you are logged in)

Good morning, I am terribly confused. Inside the Megapost, what is the noncwf and the cwf to flash? How do I know that my device has the cwf correctly? I hope you can guide me.

What do you mean change it??? Do you mean to say rename "twrp-CFW-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_0506.img" (the file that you linked) to "twrpnoncfw.img" and then make another copy and rename that one to "twrpcfw.img"?
