Automatic updates and create update patches with wyBuild.
After hours of trying to figure out a way to make Mast3rpyr0's batch files work correctly, I noticed it had problems sending certain commands. So I decided to use some of his batch file codes, and create a VB.NET application along with batch files. I have unrooted and rooted my personal phone multiple times trying to get this to work. I tested the app 3times!! Each time Unrooting my phone! All three times its has been successful!
What exactly does this do?
Exactly what it say, Root your EVO in 3 Steps.
How do you use it?
Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked ) Click the buttons starting from Step 1.
Why the large file size?
This includes all the .img and .zip files that are needed to root. (2 PC36IMG.zip @ ~ 170MB = 340mb) and a couple of other smaller files. I decided to add them to make things more simple and avoid having to explain where to get these files.

Megaupload - had to put this up, account suspended due to the amount of downloads =( they want my to go dedicated smh...
Official Page | Full (Download this if you never used this program before)
If you have downloaded this program before, please read this
Note: Its recommended to flash a custom ROM. Reason I say this is because for whatever reason, the eng-image doesnt allow proper SU permission!!
Requires: Dot Net Framework 4 and HTC SYNC

I would try it if I didn't fully root yesterday. But props to you guys for putting that together. Seems like a one step jailbreak. Very nice.

WOW! Great work. This will unlock NAND too? If so you might want to update your thread title....

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!! IF IT SAYS DONT MOVE YOUR MOUSE, DONT CLICK ANYTHING, DONT TOUCH YOUR KEYBOARD... THEN DONT!!!!
The reason for this is because for some reason a batch file cant send the command
Code:
adb shell cat sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
The only way I found to get around that was using Sendkeys. I know, send keys is lame, and poor programming, but its the only way that I could get this to work.
Basically, Sendkeys sends keystokes to a targeted window, as if you were typing. You might see your keyboard NumLock, Caps light blink while this is being used, which is perfectly normal. (Enjoy the light show)

That's because the windows shell interpreter parses the redirect as belonging to the Windows system, not the android system. So it's trying to redirect the output to c:/data/flash_image or some such nonsense. Since Windows doesn't do / for it's directory structure, but instead uses \ it gacks trying to find the directory to put it in (which would be wrong even if it worked, since it would be on your hard drive, not the phone). You can change the cat line to this:
Code:
adb shell cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/flash_image
and it should work just as well. Anytime you use a redirect in a batch script like that it's going to try and redirect to Windows. If it wasn't my day off and I wasn't so tired I might figure out a fix for that, but the code I posted above should do the trick well enough. I wasn't sure initially why people wanted to to read the file into another one in the first place, but I did it with cp when I rooted and it worked fine. I suggest testing it, and then possibly changing your program. That way you can get rid of sendkeys and people breaking root by clicking something when it's running

this is amazing. too bad noobs like myself could not wait to root and unlock nand. but the process was well worth it. great job, i hope this save someone a headache

Thanks, I'll see how that works later on, and if it works ill just upload a zip file with the updated code. Don't like the whole sendkeys thing,...I'd like to figure out on making it work without batch files... but I no pro code lol

If I am already rooted can I skip right to Unlock Nand? I did root using the toast method.

Yes, but you must run on the pushfiles.bat file before you goto step 2.

make sure you have the first PC36IMG.zip from the first root tutorial and the 2nd PC36IMG.zip from the nand unlock rename it eng-PC36IMG.zip or else you'll break it =(

Hi,
If I do this method will I be able to load custom Roms following these steps? I found these on another site and I am a noob so this one step thing would be great for me to get my feet wet...but the whole reason I would root is so that I could try another ROM...
Here are the steps I found...earlier it said I needed adb and sdk tools so I'm not sure if below will work if I don't have that installed on my computer.
Choose a ROM you want to try. Download it and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip)
2. Plug the phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file and save it to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders just on the sd card itself). Once it is done copying, unplug the phone from the usb cable.
4. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the white bootloader screen comes up (if it finds the PC36IMG.zip on your sd because you didn’t delete it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to update). Now using the volume buttons select Fastboot, then select Recovery and wait for the phone to boot into recovery mode.
5. Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.
6. Now scroll to Apply .zip from sd card and select the ROM .zip file we saved to the sdcard and wait for it to finish flashing. Once it is done, hit reboot and you are all set! Enjoy!

OP theres an updates restore image much better options from armon .02 works for people who have bad sectors ALLOT of us have
but 01 is for those who dont try that first

1. The program includes adb, just download, unzip and run Simple Root.exe
2.Yes you will be able to install custom roms after you have completed the all the steps.
3. Those are not complete steps, but its sorta on the right track... have you done the first part of root?

great job on making this easy guys.... To bad I couldnt wait longer than a week to root.

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I am a new EVO owner and this is my first android phone. I was an iPhone user but I have come over to the Android side. No regrets. I have basically a new EVO with the OTA update installed. So my goal would be to run your one click method and then learn how to load roms. I also read that people have some kind of rom loader on their phone that sounded pretty easy so I need to do more searching on the forums here so I can learn.
Ken

This would have saved me 3 hours....
Thanks dude though this seems awesome.

Videos are titled "Hero 4g" btw.

Part 1 worked for me but part 2 doesn't. When I click yes on part 2 I get a screen that says "Unhandled exceptin has occured" and it gives me a option to continue or quit and I click continue and it closes out.

Does this method work if I already have the .6 stock rom on my device?

CUBOT S200 root guide

CUBOT S200 root guide
Introduction
After a couple of months of searching for information, failing to get correct instructions from the seller and trying all available and often shady one-click root programs, I have finally successfully rooted my CUBOT S200 device.
In fact, all thanks go to rfax from this spanish forum:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/cubot-s200-root-y-recovery.93358/
The point of my post is to provide the same information in english and here, on the most widely read forum, xda-developers.com.
Before giving any instructions, I feel like I have to caution anyone trying this that I can accept no responsability for anything happening to your smartphone, as a result of following this guide. You are on your own and neither me nor anyone else is responsible for any damage, job loss, broken relationship, death or mass destruction
Also, make sure you BACKUP whatever you don't want to lose!
This rooting process should not result in any data loss, but it's always a good idea to BACKUP your stuff. So, if you have data on your phone for which you have no BACKUP, this is just a good opportunity to BACK IT UP.
Although it may seem obvious to some, please read the ENTIRE guide, BEFORE actually doing anything. This will allow you to have a general idea of the procedure and plan your steps.
Preparation
The hardware you are going to need is:
CUBOT S200 android smartphone (duh)
Windows PC
USB-microUSB data cable
My desktop machine is on linux, so in order to root my CUBOT S200, I used a Windows 7 netbook. I am pretty sure any Windows PC should do, but you definitely need a Windows machine for these instructions.
I have not even looked into the existence of an equivalent tool for linux or mac. If anyone has any information, please share and I would be glad to update the guide accordingly.
Here is a list of the software I used:
SP Flash Tools v5.1408.00
download here [RAR]
SuperSU
download here
You can find information about the latest version here
Recovery
download here
Drivers
download here
You should unzip/unrar all files, except for the SuperSU. Just keep the SuperSU zip file. It should be copied to the phone, either the internal memory or the external SD, if available. Just to be sure, I would recommend that you copy it to both locations. You can always delete it after you are done rooting the S200.
Inside the drivers zip file there is a folder and another folder inside it with a ...3rd folder in it and two executables, install & uninstall. The install is the one you will be using.
If you already have the required drivers installed, you can ignore these. If SP Flash Tool cannot proceed with the "download" as it calls it, then you need the drivers. More on that in the steps below.
Instructions
Overview
You will flash the Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery image to your phone using the SP Flash Tool.
You will then boot your phone into recovery and install the SuperSU program from the zip file.
That's it, just reboot and you have a rooted CUBOT S200!
Remember to BACKUP any data you have not already BACKED UP, or carelessly ignore this message, root your phone without any problems and then a few days or weeks later lose stuff for any unrelated reason and bang your head against a wall for not having seized this opportunity to BACKUP your sh*t.
Here goes:
Step 1
1. Make sure you have the SuperSU zip file. DO NOT UNZIP. If you downloaded from the link provided, the file should be named UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
2. Copy this file to you S200. If you have a SD card, copy to both the SD card and the internal memory, so you can definitely find it in the recovery.
Step 2
1. Power off your phone
2. Remove the battery
Step 3
Make sure you have unzipped the Recovery. There should be a folder named "Recovery CWM" inside, including 2 files: MT6582_Android_scatter.txt and recovery.img
Step 4
1. Make sure you have downloaded and unrared the SP Flash Tool. You should have a folder named SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00
2. Run the tool, it should be a file named flash_tool.exe
3. Click on the button Scatter-loading
4. Find the folder Recovery CWM from step 3 and choose the file MT6582_Android_scatter.txt. Make sure only RECOVERY is checked.

}
5. Click Download. The Download button should be grayed out and Stop should be green or active anyway
Ok, let's make a new step for clarity.
Step 5
6. Put the battery in your phone. DO NOT TURN ON your phone
7. Connect your phone to the PC with the USB cable. DO NOT TURN ON your phone
8. A red full progress bar should appear at the bottom of the SP Flash Tool window, then a yellow bar should fill up (pretty quickly). When the yellow bar reaches 100%, a small window will pop up saying Download Ok!
9. Close the popup window. Close the SP Flash Tool. Disconnect your phone. You now have CWM recovery on your S200
Step 6
1. Press and hold down your phone's Volume Up button. DO NOT LET GO
2. Without letting go the vol+, press and hold down the Power button. Hold BOTH buttons down
3. The white CUBOT startup screen will appear and a few seconds later the phone will enter the CWM recovery mode. Now you can let go both buttons
(not the exact things you will see, just for illustration)
4. Using the Vol+/- buttons, choose Install zip from sdcard. Click the power button
5. Then Choose zip from sdcard
6. Find the SuperSU zip that you copied to your phone in step 1 and confirm with the power button
7. Choose Yes - Install
8. Once SuperSU is successfully installed, you will be back at the first screen. Choose Reboot system now
Step 7
Not really a step. Your phone should reboot (don't hold down any buttons) and you should now have root access!
Enjoy!

In the Recovery zip you downloaded (see link in guide), there is also a folder Recovery Original.
In there you can find another scatter file, also named MT6582_Android_scatter.txt.
Flash this one and you should get the original recovery back.
Please, make sure you follow all the steps very carefully. Again, I know that people have followed this guide with success in the spanish site and I have done so too.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for sharing.

Working now!

I don't really know anything about that. Hopefully, someone will see this and come up with a solution, if it is indeed possible.
Congrats on rooting your phone, enjoy!

Maybe the drivers are not successfully installed. Try rebooting your computer and/or installing the drivers again.

Windows 10 drivers
First of all, thanks gor the great guide! I am now rooted.:good:
I did run into a problem with the drivers though. They don't work with Windows10. After looking around a bit I found a great guide with drivers that did work.
Here's the link.

Custom ROM for Cubot S200
Hi Panda2005.
Thanks for excellent post on rooting the S200.
I have tried several rooting tools and they all failed for one reason or another and your method worked first time.
I am new to Android and find it a little confusing compared with Windows but I am learning!
My question is can you recommend a custom ROM suitable for the S200?
Thanks again.

My question is can you recommend a custom ROM suitable for the S200?
Thanks again.

I am glad you managed to root your phone.
Actually, I have never tried any custom ROMs, so unfortunately I could not recommend any.
I have since bought a new phone, so I have not played with the S200 in over a year. A friend of mine has borrowed it, but he has not looked for custom ROMs either.
If you find/try any cool ones, feel free to let me know here.
Good luck!

Re Cubot s200
Hi Panda 2005,
Yes I too have come to the conclusion that the S200 does not have a big enough following in order to warrant much interest from the techies capable of creating such ROMs.
As a matter of interest can you recommend a phone with plenty of ROMs available for experimentation?
I have been looking at a second hand Samsung S4. Not too expensive if I brick it!

Sorry, I have not dabbled with custom ROMs in a few years, not since I had a ZTE Skate Acqua. Good times!

[Resolved] Titans2 Doogee DG700 Android 5.0 Lollipop Repartition/Root/Recovery/Xposed workshop

UPDATE:
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
From the moment I bought this phone, I only had problems:
-Facebook always freezing/hanging/lagging when I'm talking to someone that is talking at the same time (had to revert to Android 4.4 to fix this).
-Battery could not handle the heat of the "waterproof" phone and eventually bloated, becoming so swollen that I had to buy a new one.
-Back cover's cheap plastic snapping bits eventually broke as well, had to replace the back cover and order a new one (and one snap broke again).
-Phone was never waterproof, tiny droplets of water could get in from the microphone whenever it was humid and the phone was useless when it happened
-"Shockproof" phone fell from a height of one meter while I was cycling and now the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, even in recovery... completely dead
-Supposedly solid touchscreen cracked real bad at 2 places after I inadvertently put my keys in the same pocket
-The fake plastic chrome in the back gets all scratched and chipped as it's the first thing that touches any surface.
-I suspect this phone of having corrupted and ruin 2 genuine sdcards that I had to replace. Thank you for SanDisk warranty!!
Now all I have is a very expensive clock with a screen that I can just turn on and off. Go look somewhere else than Doogee to buy a phone. I dropped my old LG-P500 from the third floor when I hung the sheets while my phone was in there, dropped a cheap Mediatek Cubot down the stairs and both worked perfectly after. But a stupid shockproof phone can't survive a one meter fall
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS PHONE
Best way to use it is to revert back to Kit Kat. Believe us (Several XDA members and me), Android 5.0, even with the backport fixes is unresponsive, slow and sluggish.
tvladan made a guide for the best way to repartition + root + custom recovery + xposed your phone on post #239:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63260626&postcount=239
OLD POST:
This thread is a work in progress for the DG700 to get better partitions, root access, a custom recovery, the Xposed framework and fix memory leaks.
We are still improving it, here's what we have so far:
4GB internal storage partition --> OK
6GB internal storage partition --> IN PROGRESS
Root access with Kingroot --> OK
Root access with Super SU --> OK
Custom Recovery --> OK
Xposed framework --> OK
Custom ROM with black theme --> IN PROGRESS
Credits:
All this has been made possible by the common efforts of XDA members tvladan, Nudeldampf, Pepo1980, mikaelbrostrom, lunito.
ROM was made by Yalita35254
Recovery was ported from yuweng's TWRP by Hanuma50
Xposed framework was developped by rovo89
The bootanimation memory leak was fixed by arter97
The ColorFade memory leak was fixed by tonyp
Make sure to click "thanks" to these awesome people if you see their posts!
Disclaimer:
Of course, none of the listed people and me are responsible if you break your device completely. However, during the test phase I have flashed well over 80 times total and many times thought I killed my phone definitely, but it was always ok. Flashing is so easy nowadays, and you can pretty much always recover from any mistake by reflashing everything. If your phone is not detected anymore by the flashing software, unplug the phone, remove its battery and wait a few seconds before retrying.
Guide:
Step 0, getting ready:
If you just want a rooted phone with a minimal footprint that will still be easily update-able via the phone's "Wireless update", go on page 2 for a guide to simply root the phone.
When you make ANY operation in SP Flash Tool, PHONE MUST BE OFF AND ONLY CONNECT YOUR PHONE AFTER YOU CLICK THE "START" OR "DOWNLOAD" BUTTONS
If your device is undetected in SP Flash Tool, unplug and remove the battery then try again.
You don't have to do all the steps, depending if you just want a repartition, a root, or the whole package
Don't try to skip steps by flashing the rooted /system partition and custom recoveray at the same time, it will not work
Make sure you have at least 80% battery, just to be sure. Flashing takes a lot of juice, especially the first boot that will show a white logo with full brightness for a while
Step 1, Download drivers and open command window:
Download the VCOM USB Drivers attached in this post, extract them, then open a command windows in Administrator mode like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2, Install the drivers:
Change the directory to the location of the auto-installer and execute install.bat:
Step 3, Verify driver:
To verify if the drivers are OK, turn your phone off and plug it in your computer. You should hear the familiar Windows chime when a new device was plugged in. The Command Window should look like this after the installation:
Step 4, Download the ROM and rooted system:
Download both the 4GB of internal storage repartitioned ROM and rooted Android in this package
You will have to flash the ROM and the rooted /system partition in different steps, so follow the guide and don't try anything to skip steps.
Step 5, Format your phone accordingly:
Download SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01, extract and open flash_tool.exe
You must then format your phone to make it work with the customized re-partitioned ROM by entering these values in the Format tab:
0x0000000045F80000
0x000000018CC80000
Then make sure your phone is DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click start, wait a second or two and connect your phone. Let SP Flash Tool do its magic until you see the success popup
Step 6, Select the scatter file:
In the Download tab, select the scatter file from the r21 ROM you just downloaded to load all the partitions in SP Flash Tool
Step 7, Flash the repartitioned ROM:
After SP Flash tool finished the checkups, make sure all the settings are the same as the 1st screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 8, Initial Android boot:
When you see the success message from SP flash tool, disconnect your phone and turn it on to set up your android. Keep SP Flash tool opened for the next step
THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME, encrypting your /data and FAT partitions, then seeming frozen in the white screen for 20+ minutes. BE PATIENT.
While your phone is booting, you can prepare for the next step.
Step 9, Flash the rooted Android (optional if you want to stop here):
If you just want the repartitioned and don't care about root (yeah, right!), you can stop here. If not, click on the ANDROID partition in SP Flash Tool to select the rooted partition that was included in the package you downloaded.
Make sure only this partition is selected like in the screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 10, Apply the root:
Disconnect your phone and restart. This is mandatory before going any further, Android will install SuperSU for root permissions, wait for it to finish.
Keep SP Flash tool opened for the next step.
Step 11, Flash the custom recovery (optional if you want to stop here):
Download the custom recovery (Also attached to this post) then in SP Flash Tool, click the RECOVERY partition to select the recovery you just downloaded
Make sure only this partition is selected like in the screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 13, Fix the boot animation memory leak (optional if you want to stop here):
Lollipop has lots of memory leak, especially version 1.0. But one of the worst ones is the boot animation memory leak that XDA member arter97 describes as being due to the memory allocated to play the previous frame is not released.
This can end up in an unstable Android system because of core services being killed due to insufficient memory, or sometimes even in boot loops that you must end by removing your battery (happened to me a few times). Fortunately, he fixed this and posted the solution.
13.1 Get the new binaries to fix that problem, make sure you get version 2:
13.2 Make a backup of file /system/bin/bootanimation. I use and recommend ES File Explorer. Make sure you turn on root explorer to see the system files like such:
13.2 Replace the bootanimation file with the one you downloaded. The one for our phone is this one in the zip package:
bootanimation_v2.zip\aosp\32bit\bootanimation
13.3 Make sure the owner, group and persmissions are the same as the original bootanimation file. It should be the same as on my phone:
Step 14, Download and Install the Xposed Framework (optional if you want to stop here):
If you want the Xposed framework, get the Xposed Installer and the SDK from the official Xposed Lollipop post
14.1 Download these 2 files and copy them on your SD card:
XposedInstaller_XXX.apk
xposed-vXX-sdk21-arm.zip (sdk22 is for Android 5.1)
14.2 Reboot your phone in recovery:
Power off phone or reboot
When the screen is black, before the DG700 logo appears, hold VOLUME-UP and "POWER" button together until you see a black and white menu
Move the cursor to the first menu item (recovery) with the VOLUME-UP button, then select by pressing the VOLUME-DOWN button
14.3 Once You are in your newly installed custom recovery, tap install:
14.3 Select the xposed-vXX-sdk21-arm.zip file from your SD card and swipe the handle at the bottom to accept
14.4 Once done, reboot and go in settings->security and activate Unkown Sources:
14.5 Navigate to where you downloaded the XposedInstaller_XXX.apk file with ES Explorer (or any other way) and install the Xposed application.
Step 15, Fix the Color Fade memory leak (optional):
One of the worst memory leaks of Android 5.0.x is the Color Fade memory leak that causes memory to pile up every time you turn the screen off.
This has been fixed by XDA member tonyp, with his Xposed module that follows the official Android 5.1 patch, available on in the Xposed repository or visa the Play Store:
I'm not 100% sure if Doogee's r21 has fixed this issue, but activating this module will either fix the leak, or change nothing. Better safe than sorry. If I get any confirmation that we don't need it, I will remove this step
Post-Notes:
To make changes to system apps, you can use the following tools. I recommend using these to avoid a boot loop or applications "closing unexpectedly":
Delete system app with Titanium Backup (System application manager corrupted my system)
Integrate updates into system with System application manager (Titanium Backup just shows the loading animation forever)
Convert user applications to system applications with System application manager (Titanium Backup just shows the loading animation forever)
If you wish to install Doogee's r24 update, you cannot do it with the recovery as it will end up in a boot loop. You must use this technique explained by mikaelbrostrom on page 22 of this thread. I did not include these steps here as I did not test it and don't have the screenshots.
If you want to backup all phone, it seems that MTK Droid Tool is not working properly and XDA member lunito has found a way to backup all your phone with some hacks described on page 23 of this thread, using this technique. I did not include these steps here as I did not test it and don't have the screenshots.

anybody...?
Is it still unavailable?

it seems that it has not been done yet ... I just got mine with lolipop and I am also waiting for a root method ...

It seems like this guy managed to do it with vRoot/iRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...00-unboxing-hands-t2953664/page3#post59997977
but it did not work with me, either with the latest version of iRoot or an older version. And that was with a Vanilla installation of the latest Android 5.0 from the Doogee website. I asked the guy which version of iRoot he used, but no answer..

Yea but as I understand what he wrote there, he flashed back to KitKat and than rooted the phone, which we know was possible. (Flash back to Android KitKat that's the title of his post) I would like to keep Lolipop and have my phone rooted since it came with some bloatware installed and I need to install some apps that need root privileges. I guess it's a matter of waiting for somebody with the proper knowledge to root it with Lolipop installed. Doogee DG700 users please keep this thread alive until a proper root method for Lolipop is posted. Thanks

Oh yes, you're right, I did not read correctly as usual..
Well, let's hope a hacker cannot live with an unrooted DG700 and fixes that

Heya!
Is it me or nobody found a way to root the Doogoo Titans2 DG700 that has Android 5.0?
There are guides everywhere for KitKat, but it seems like Lollipop 5.0 is more robust and nobody cracked it yet.. It probably means that there is no CWM Recovery for the MTK6582 either huh?
Anyone found info on the subject? Google has not been cooperative and I cannot find anything on xda. I don't think I can live with a phone that has no root and no Xposed framework hehe!
Thank ya!

That's great news! Now, how do I get this old version of Vroot?

Be careful guys, my phone is completely messed up:
-Cannot uninstall any apps as "settings" app crashes
-Cannot open google play store, even after clearing data
-Google play services keeps crashing all the time
-App "superCleaner" got installed and I cannot uninstall it, even with an uninstaller as it comes back after reboot

Dang...sorry about that...are you sure its from the root procedure? Mine works ok...I also checked it with root checker...Green results.

Haha don't worry it's not your fault!
Trying to reset phone right now, will see what happens. If still broken, will reinstall lollipop completely.
I will then try the procedure again and post updates here. Might not finish today though, getting late here

No probs!
I managed to re-flash, re-partition and re-root. All works well and I see the storage space increased, but after the initial setup, the phone enters into a boot loop if I restart.. No idea why. I'm trying to figure out why and when it works perfectly, I'll post the correct vRoot with the EBR1 and EBR2 files in case people want to repartition as well.
In the meantime, if anybody has an idea why it would boot loop, go ahead and tell me.

I'll try it too and post results ASAP. Meanwhile, i did some trying with IRoot en version, did not work but got some suspicious apps installed, also my PC antivirus found the software suspicious. After 2 failed root attempts from iRoot I managed to uninstall the apps that it installed on my phone. Did some reading on the internet and found some troubeleing accusations regarding the vRoot / iRoot software installing crap on users phones. I'll still try rooting with this older version of vRoot and see what happens.

Ok I give up.. I don't know enough about Android. I really don't know why my phone is working perfectly after repartitioning until the first restart after initial setup where it ends up into a boot loop.. I asked help to another XDA member, Elizabeth, who has very good knowledge in repartitioning. Hopefully she can help.
So of all I wanted to do:
1-Repartition for bigger data partition to have more apps (10 apps and phone is already full???)
2-Install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP
3-Root the phone
4-Install XPosed
All I managed to do was root.. everything else not working but I will still give you guys what I used in case you want to mess with it and can manage to get it working
1-Repartitioning
I attached the files I tried to flash
4GB.rar for a 4GB data partition
6GB.rar for a 6GB partition
And I also included the original one from Doogee for Android 5.0 in case you want to try on your own. I never managed to flash using the scatter file. Every time I was flashing the EBR files with the original scatter file and it seemed to work well, until the first reboot. I created my EBR files with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/howto-modify-ebr-mediatek-devices-t2769604
And tried using these EBR files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850
But they all resulted in the same boot loop after the first time I restarted the phone (so if you never, ever restart, it works great )
2-Custom recovery
I got a custom recovery from that thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-doogee-titans2-t3115515
and I also attached it here. However it is of course not working either, cannot even get into recovery.
3-Root the phone
Just used the VRoot I attached. I rooted my phone about 9999 times with all the flash I did in the past 36 hours and it usually works on the first/second try, except now that I have reinstalled all my apps and after about 10 times GRRR! So just keep trying, it will work eventually. If after 3 tries it's not working, delete the "KingUser" and "supercleaner" apps, try again 2-3 times, rinse and repeat. I was just unlucky that last time.
4-Install XPosed
I did not even get that far since I never was able to install a custom recovery.. There is a guide on how to install the new alpha version for Lollipop and it doesn't seem very hard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
That's it! Good luck and I hope we'll have more help to put more details and a better guide

Thanks a lot so far! I'll try this tomorrow after work when I have more time

First, sorry for the late reply!
Maybe I'm missing something, but all I get from Vroot is the error 0x000007d1 with "no device found" USB Debugging is enabled and I've installed the universal ADB drivers, can access my phone storage from the Windows explorer, but vroot just won't work.

So, I've tried several things and several adb and mtp drivers on two different computers, but Windows is still telling me that is has no correct driver for MTP. And vroot just keeps telling me it can't find the device and giving me the "helping" text of "USB_DEBUG", which basically opens a link to their forum explaing on how to enable USB Debugging - which I have enabled.
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Hey any one tell me how to root ASUS_T00Q 5.0 lollipop

[GUIDE to ROOT] for new users, step by step, main aspects clarified

INTRODUCTION (don't skip it if you want understand what you are reading)
Here we are, as promised.
A guide for beginners who hardly understand all the brief steps described in guides: root Galaxy S5 G-900V, unlock-bootloaders, etc. thanks for everyone who helped me with big patience (jrkruse, Bryanx86, XeCuTioN, youdoofus and all other guys) and who developed the scripts/guides. This guide is to help you keep focusing there
I'll try to be as brief as possible, remembering me when I entered in theis world without knowing this phone, and eager of flashing quickly the desidered ROM. I admit I've spent different days and a bounch bad words around figuring out all the obstacles that appeared time by time: you should know from the beginning that a small variation of the process described here may force you start from zero, loosing an amount of time, and that there are different phone models and also with different chipset, so you need carefully understand which phone you have before learning the process or losing time with wrong experiments, they will not work.
Anyway this guide will help many figuring out different aspects of phone, useful to everyone who is appraching flash the S5, it's a collection of important things I've read arond and experimented myself.
PHONE:
I have a S5 G900V with Toshiba chipset "CID11", and I tested all the following only on this phone, for questions/explanations read this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
I'm not going to give any support to other versions, but post me if I forgot something
DEFINITIONS:
PHONE: unfortunately there are a moltitude of Galaxy S5 released, they are dedicated to particular geographic areas and particular service operators, the 900V is created for Verizon brand and it has a native ROM with SIM locked. If you bought one with SIM unlocked (and you may even read under "about" it is a 900F for example! check the right one starting the download mode) and you want root it/upgrade you should consider that the first rom uploaded to begin the following process is Verizion original, and it contains SIM lock: you will not use your phone later till you flash the final desidered rom! Chances are also, if you have like I do a CID11 chipset, the SD card will stop be recognized, and that's a boring thing. EDIT: the SD card will work, it was my phone with the SD gold contacts spoiled, accurately I lift them up and sd worked always later.
CHIPSET: as I know there are two variants around, one with Chipset Sasmung "eMMC" and one with Toshiba "eMMC". Before you start you need to read the file /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid under the root path, the first two bytes will be 11 or 15, if you have 15 you're lucky and you may even remove the locked bootloader, if you have 11 there are not solutions yet for unlock, but you can install Marshmellow 6.0.1 (unrooted/without root). To check the file CID I suggest to install xplore from Lonelycatgames (you may find a copy around, google it and download apk, open the folder root, the path /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/ and at file cid push long and use the hex editor.
BOOTLOADER: The Verizon phones accept ROMs only containing their certificate (it's more complex but let's say it's like that), they are called stock ROM (ROMs coming from brend, original, untouched). To load other custom roms you need to unlock the Bootloader to avoid checks on certifications, and this is possible only if you have a CID 15 and only after rooting phone, and unlock bootloader. Then you will you are able to flash TWRP which is a nice console for upload any kind of rom.
Anyway, anyCID, there is a "workaround" called Safestrap that loads a TWRP console instead of the classic Android operative system (OS).. and it happens when you will reboot from its Safestrap applications: the console will load instead of Android on next reboot, and when you will reboot from Safestrap console, itself will restores Android the next boot. It's the only way to load ROMS when your CID is 11, but only very particular releases (read about down); and the way to unlock bootloader on CID15. We're waiting that someone in future will unlock also the CID11..
the "bootloader" or "download mode" can be opened only from phone switched off by pressing VolDwn+Home and when u sure u're pressing them correctly then press power keeping them pressed(!) until u see the bootloader, press then volume up.
"recovery console" or "recovery" is reached from phone switched off in the same way, but pressing Volup+Home (the power) until u see the recovery.
ROM: it's a file containing usually the kernel, the system with main applications (excluded google apps), some scripts (commands) to cancel datas before installing.
GOOGLE APPS: you have to flash them after flashed the rom (if the rom asking explicitly for them because made without (it means it doesn't contain inside any google apps that may be crucial for booting), or.. you have to flash them if you're targeting the final result (the last flash) and you want have apps updated in your "new flashed phone". It's not necessary when u're in process of root phone/unlocking.
FLASH A BOOT IMAGE/package: it's a file used to replace the bootloader, when it's needed, for example if you are upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmellow the bootloader can't stay in lollipop version, the versions should match, be sure to have both compatible already downloaded.
ROOT: it means gain the administrators privileges to edit system files on phone.
TWRP: it's a smart console to manage the phone with full control, allows to change the Android versions and many other things.
RECCOMENDATIONS:
1) have battery on phone around 100%, looks because it seems that at lower values make the phone react sometime unexpectly (power safe) during operations, that means you may loose after a lot time to figure out what problem occured/process skipped.
2) During the flashing, in download mode, the phone may not be charged from USB, and the PC power is much less powerful then the charger, you may see a quite impressive battery draining even when connected to PC, this is why is better to start near 100%.
3) During update, the USB up/downs may use lot of CPU of your PC due to driver recognition, keep then your Windows "clean" for the process, no apps in backgroud which use lot of RAM and CPU (for example browsers with many tabs opened), so the driver detection could be faster, avoid programming interruptions (for example installing apps in root.bat)
NOTICE: any time u'll use Odin you don't need to change its flags/settings (for example auto reboot), leave them as they are. If you uploaded something wrong/not certifed under download mode and the phone refuses that, you need to switch off the phone and restart in download mode again, it's not up to software Odin in your PC; you can leave it opened.
Odin will check the checksum of files that are loaded, so for big rom files you have to be patient and give it time to read all file.
When Odin is open and USB connected, you have to see the phone connected by COM, if it doesn't connect the phone may be bricked or you have to install the latest Samsung drivers (!! **you can't forget installing them if it's the first time using a Samsung device!!)
HOW IT WORKS:
useful to understand how is reached the goal here to prevent bricks, solve easier problems, find yourself an overcome. This root kit targets to install 3 applications on the phone, then use a temporary "bricked" kernel to allow edit system files and root the phone before it loads all Android, then restore the previous kernel working, and it ends by using applications installed before to install Safestrap into boot, to have a TWRP console even if the phone is locked.
As the Safestrap substitute the normal Android boot, if there is any problem on the process (=Safestrap will not boot when it's supposed to boot = you started it from its application) the phone may brick here, because when Safestrap stars it need to restore Android normal usage: if it will hapen the Android won't load again, the phone is bricked, read in that section how to solve it.
The first application, Kingoroot,it's made for allow the root permission into other two applications, it's a supervisor. If you use it gently and its installation succeded ok in the beginning of root.bat it will be enough for do all the job (even if the main Guide author suggest to buy SuperSUme).
Busybox it's a software that allows Safestrap to install, whothout it Safestrap won't work.
Safestrap it's a simple application, that if used in right way (I failed lot of times, but I always recovered my phone) permits to have a powerful console on next reboot.
IMPORTANT:
Whne in process, wait always that the USB drivers finishing detecting phone and become "stable" (CPU and hard disk aren't working, keep check them to be sure, as well the icon of the phone should appear in Windows resouces). You may need to start from zero if u miss this, a really stupid reason to lose time.
FILES YOU NEED:
G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 as the main old rom, that works as starting point.
OK3_ROOT_V5.exe: set of tools and scripts for rooting.
Find them all in the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
PROCEDURE:
1) Open OK3_ROOT_V5.exe in one folder, if you use windows with particular language and not latin chars avoid to extract it on desktop, prefer a path like C:\galaxy for example.
2) Switch off phone, remove SIM card and SD, switch on in recovery mode and wipe data system and cache, then boot to bootloader
2) open Odin, open under AP G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 and wait until it finished read file, connect phone USB, be sure phone is recognized, start flashing. Wait until phone boots, wait until it shows the beginning screen.
3) choose english, then wi fi button down, then skip the connetcion and everything else asked, insert any fake name.
4) When setup ends don't activate Wi fi, go to settings, about, press 8 times build number, get the development menu active, go into it and enable usb debug, wait for popup and allow your PC always, then disable the verify usb application installation in the same menu. The driver may set itself again after this, wait some seconds befor go over and be sure the phone is seen by Windows resources, when you see the icon of the phone on Windows file explorer and the CPU is low again it's time to run root.bat, not before! Go into OK3_ROOT folder, run root.bat, a black old DOS window will open (this is not Odin! Not confuse this window and what you read there with Odin messages, please!) and follow the steps you read in this new DOS window..
it will install apps, reboot in download mode and show you a new Odin window, select NK2_kernel.tar and flash it, now put your eyes over DOS window of root.bat, it should recognize your firmware and after some seconds display a full page of ########, if it doesn't something went wrong, you need to go to recovery console, wipe everything, and flash again the main big flash (=start from zero).
If succeed, and you will read it in the DOS window, as the last step, you have to disconnect USB, pull battery, switch phone on in download mode and flash VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar with Odin
5) After reboot open KingRoot application already installed, Click The Up Arrows a couple of time until you get to Try It and yes click Try It, then on the main circle, go back with arrow and you will have confirm that is rooted. Close Kingroot, open busybox free app, allow the root access, click on install (even if it start scannig) and wait some seconds, when it say it completed close it. Open Safestrap, allow root, click on install, the app will quit itself, open it again and click on install, it will quit again. Now reboot phone by the power key, hen rebooted open again Safestrap and now you'll be finally ready to click on the button "Reboot to recovery". Before doing it be ready to organize the next step, like files for unlocking bootloader or flashing a locked phone to 6.0.1.
END rooting phone procedure.
BRICK/RECOVERY: if it happens during root, before you upload any other ROM, there may be three ways to solve that:
Pull the battery out (it's almost safe) and:
1) Light: go under download mode and flash VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar, see if the phones later boot up normally.
Chances are, with "dirty" chache data that lead the phone to brick, you can't start the root.bat procedure again succesfully (use root2.bat to avoid the install of the three applications that supposed already installed). Then you may try to:
2) medium: go under recovery console, wipe data and cache, boot fom there to download mode and flash again VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.
Or, if still not successful:
3) Strong: go under recovery console, wipe data and cache, boot fom there to download mode and flash flash full G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 (that means start from zero)
SAFESTRAP WORLD:
WARNING: you should follow at the letter the above process above, any difference may result in a fail of Safestrap recovery to open and phone bricked at samsung logo (+custom). If so don't worry, you have just to start the download mode and flash VZW_BPB1_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 again to see the phone working. But chances you probably now have to repeat all the procedure from zero because your phone is "dirty" and Safestrap won't work more, proceed to what I called "strong" reflashing in brick section.
NOTICE: when you reboot to Safestrap, after Samsung logo, you need to wait 5-10 seconds to see Safestrap.
FLASH FIRE METHOD:
You may prefer to use FF (Flash Fire) to flash your room, it is a app (apk) that needs t be installed on phone when the phone works in normal mode, it allows you to create a list of different "orders" to execute exactly one after the other after you give it the final "ok". The app reboot the phone and starting itself to flash. It may be faster then Safestrap, but when I tried once it didn't work for me, it flashed partially and rebooted before it finished, I had a soft brick and I should restart from zero. Probably it was me pretending to flash something wrong, there is only one way to upload 6.0.1 on a CID11 phone and I did only once with Safestrap.
For dealing with FF you need the phone rooted, after you followed the process above you don't need to install Busybox, neither Safestrap, but you need to find and install SuperSUme.apk, which is another "root manager" program as Kingoroot is, but FF doesn't work with Kingoroot.
After loading kingoroot copy the Flashfire apk and SuperSUme in your phone, install both of them, start first SuperSUme, allow the root, and let it remove Kingoroot in its procedure, when it finished launch FF and let him the root as well.
You need to find these two apk, google them, since SUperSUme is available only paying you should know what you are doing. I used these versons and they worked: supersume-6.0.apk, flashfire-0-50-android-apk-download (notice there is 0.52, but I tested 0.50)
PS: if you feel this useful, please thank me pressing the button

For uploading 6.0.1 to my locked phone I folowed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
I would just add that having the SD card "not recognized" I simply copied files of ROM and GAPPS into the phone folder accessed by Windows resources. And when I reboot to Safestrap I flashed as last step the GAPPS, nothing more to add.
When you wipe Data you actually don't delete the /sdcard folder, so the ROM files are safe there.
if you accidentally delete files under safestrap you can upload them by adb, but it will be really slow (around 500KB/s), here is the command: adb push /path/to/local/filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip
You may evaluate to flash also this before GAPPS:
Tethering_Fix_Knox_Removal_Slight_Debloat_V2.zip to remove Knox and useless apps from this ROM
If you need to put your default system language (the ROM is in english) download from google MoreLocale 2, open a DOS windows with the path to the folder of root.bat, activate the developer menu (point N°4 of post above), connect the USB, and type
pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

Do you know any details about the new pf4 modem?

no, Im not that expert, here is just a guide to help people into the process..

thank you for the great guide. I was able to root my phone with the clear instruction.
However, I am running into one trouble.
When my phone is setting up the language and etc, it requires me to insert sim or wifi. I can't skip that step without doing one or the other. When I do turn on the wifi, the phone then upgrades itself to android 5.0 but the root is still there. I am using T-mobile sim card.
Is there a way to get around the check up? I made sure to follow all the steps correctly too.

if u're talking about the first beginning steps, after the first big ROM loaded, yes you can skip. Select wi fi button, but after skip all the rest. I've never had to connect to internet or inserted a sim card for the process.
I connected/inserted sim only after the flash to desidered rom

What kind of details did you want to know? Mine works fine.

Very informative read, and also put in plain english for people that dont understand the usual processes for root, in layman's terms. But you're forgetting one thing available for locked bl that i found very useful before i unlocked mine, and that is flashfire. I was able to flash roms which could or would not flash through safestrap, through flashfire. Other than that, good job writing this

Seems like the file name for OK3_ROOT_V5.exe changed. They call it GS5_LOLLIROOT.tar.gz now (must unzip twice to get all the files) but I looks like what is needed is in this zipped file.
Might take the plunge tomorrow so wish me luck, and thanks again for the explanation!

By "run root.bat" in point 4 do you mean "3 - Root Process.bat"?
Thanks for clarifications

Barabba11,
Since you seems to have a genuine desire of helping people, (and because I want to have my phone rooted), I want to comment your instructions and also try to find what I did wrong, since my phone is locked in the black “Samsung Galaxy S5” screen when trying to accomplish step 4 (no worries, I have been there before…).
Here I go…
FILES YOU NEED
Samsung Drivers: No comments here, straight forward thing to accomplish.
From the original post Here, under “Installing PB1”:
1. Download G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_VZW.zip and unzip it
Click to expand...

This is what you get today (161108) if you download and unzip that file:

From the same previously mentioned post, now under “Rooting Instructions”:
1. Download this zip GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what you get today (161108) if you download and unzip that file:
Then, under “crc” folder you will find:
And finally, “System” folder is empty.
At this stage my series of comments:
1. I don’t see anything called OK3_ROOT_V5.exe mentioned in step 4 of your procedure. I assume you’re referring to the zipped file GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z but since almost every suggestion here indicates to read thoroughly, I don’t want to miss any detail. Can you please confirm if what you call OK3_ROOT folder is the unzipped GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z?
2. I don’t see anything called root.bat in the unzipped folders above, mentioned in the same step 4. Can you confirm which one of the .bat files are you referring to? Is it 1 - Install APK's.bat, 2 - Flash NK2.bat, 3 - Root Process.bat or 4 - Flash PB1.bat?
Since my phone got stuck in the black screen when reaching this point and I had to get back to square 1, I’ll wait for comments.
Warmest regards, it is really appreciated what you do here, it is just my humble opinion that detailed instructions in plain English, with proper file names, punctuation etc, would save this world a lot of time and frustration, leaving you developers more time to deal with the important stuff, I’ll be happy to help rewriting or reviewing anything in this regard.
PD: Not sure if the images are going to appear, I don't see them in the preview. If that's the case, you can check here

This thread is out of date since the rooting method has entirely been changed

Can you please indicate where can I find the updated method? Rgds

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, since they changed the main files I'm disoriented too. If they removed the bat files it means everything is different now, and honestly I'm hearing now about that..
Would know too why they changed the process, it was working, complicated but working, and I still have my phone at unrooted Android 6 waiting for a major update, like root or Android7.. I don't have enough time to experiment something that may appear useless for me later.
Anyway reading the instructions may warn you about different aspects to consider.. and reduce the waste of time if some conditions happened.
Kindly write in this thread they way you proceed and I'll have care to edit the first post reminding it. Thank you

Great thread, need some help still
How do I check my chipset when I don't have root access? I downloaded xplore but I need root access to check the root folder.

go into the xplore settings and change the root inside, I've no-rooted phone and I can see it. In the beginning, it's just a way for them to push you install rooting apps

If I root my S5 900V using this method can I then reflash it with 4.4.2?

[HOW-TO][WORKAROUND] Use GApps on the Nubia X

Guys, please check your phone version before downloading the toolkit - dont use 2.19 toolkit on 2.21 phone-version! I don't know why everyone is killing their phone right now! This is not an easy-to-do tutorial! It requires time and at least a bit knowledge. Please read this carefully - use google for the most important words and start after understanding everything! I won't help via PM when you 'bricked' your phone!
Welcome to the WIP Tutorial "How to use GApps on the Nubia X"!
Keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it! Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Understood? Let's go then!
STEP 1 - Preparation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We need to prepare the phone now.
Note: This is mandatory for the rest to work
Unlock the Developer options by going to Settings ►About phone ►Rapidly tapping on the "Build number" field until the phone returns "You are an developer".
Go to Settings ► Other system settings ►Developer options - and change the state of "OEM Unlocking" to ON.
Again in Settings ► Other system settings ►Developer options enable "USB Debugging"
Now, you need to prepare your PC (in short: install adb). Please Google this on your own ("How to install adb on {your OS}").
Alright, we are done with the phone for now.
Let's go to the downloads!
STEP 2 - Downloads
Click to expand...

nubia-root-toolkit V211 (Actually the magic behind everything). Source: 百度云, pw: 7m9s - by 绯色玻璃
nubia-root-toolkit V219 (Actually the magic behind everything). Source: 百度云, pw: 7m9s - by 绯色玻璃
Link2SD (in order to convert to system later)
GoogleFrameworkInstaller
Great job so far.
Now, we can start doing dev-things !
STEP 3 - Let the magic happen! (ROOT)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: this is the part where we change system files. Please continue at your own risk! If you don't know what a root is you should better not do that.
Note: I don't own this toolkit. The source is linked above. I would recommend translating the original page source and reading throgh it. Source
Alrighty then? Damn, ur edgy.
Plug in your phone and wait until it gets recognized by your OS.
Extract the "nubia-root.zip", go into nubia-Root ► nubia-X, and run the "nubia-X_Root-V211.exe" with admin priv.
We don't understand nothing, because it is a chinese source... But according to the original thread, close (X) the first window that appears.
You will now see a window with "(Random text) ROOT"-Button on the right. After you click it, you'll get a log output of what your phone is doing via ADB.
Finished? You will see "Success" at the bottom including some weird characters. Lmao #chineseprograms.
What happened right now?
Well your phone is rooted. The program archived this by flashing a partition on your phone with adb.
First, it unlocked it (see my dev thread for more infos) and after that it flashed the bootimage. In short.
Now boot back into your phone and continue your journey!
STEP 4 - Installing apks on the phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember all these apk's you have downloaded before?
We are going to use them now.
Make sure your phone is still plugged in. We are using 'adb' now so open up a command-prompt / powershell / bash.
The syntax is the following: "adb install NameOfTheFile.apk" - do this with every downloaded apk. Example: "adb install /home/user/link2sd.apk".
STEP 5 - Install GApps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the fun part.
We are going to install the required Google Apps as a normal user.
IMPORTANT: Don't run any of the Google Apps after you see them on your phone. I know you are hyped but its not time to do this right now.
Run the App called "谷歌安装器" (or the app with a playstore-like symbol). You will see a screen with chinese text and a blue button.
Click the blue button - the app will now download every GApp you need. After every download you will be prompted to install the app - confirm this and deny any Nubia tips for "hey you can download a newer app". Just install it like a normal app.
If you encounter the "unknown source"-error, follow the instructions on the device (or google "how to enable install apps from unknown sources").
Thats it! Wohoo.
Well no.
Please restart your phone, before continue!
STEP 6 - Make GApps powerful (using Link2SD)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well I didn't found a better way as making the GApps System right now.
Because we don't have access to TWRP (right now ;D), this is the way to go.
I assume you have Link2SD installed (if not, go to Step 4 and install Link2SD!).
Open up Link2SD and click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
Click "Search" and type in "Google". You will see a bunch of applications there but we only care about some of them.
We will use the following procedure: Click on the searchresult ► Click on the three dots ► "Convert to system app" ► Confirm. (It might be called somewhat with "system" in it, if you dont find it).
Do this procedure with the following apps: "Google Service Framework", "Google Play Store", "Google Play Service", "Google Contacts Sync", "Google Calendar Sync" and "Google Account Manager".
Done? Restart your device again. (You can do that by clicking on the side-menu of Link2SD ► Reboot ► Reboot.
Step 7 - Enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, you are an official hacker now... Well not really.
But you did something which is not that easy.
If you want to learn more or if you have any questions left contact me on discord (My ID: Captain Teemo#9394).
And if you are happy with the result, consider my time writing this for you and drop me a coffee: https://paypal.me/THeckel - your awesome!
Thanks for reading and enjoy your nubia - as you want!

@Teeemoo, most of the people will do that for first time. It will be good to include:
BE SURE THAT THE PHONE VERSION MATCHES THE VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE!
The described process up it's only of v2.11. For v2.19 and up you need the corresponding tool.
If you ignore that, you risk to soft brick your phone.
1. Magisk and Xposit will be loaded on the phone - do not play at any cost with them (upgrade or stuff). That will put your phone on a boot loop. I know it form personal experience. To fix that it's a bit tricky.
2. When you start the root - be sure that your phone is unlocked. Watch it when it ask permissions.
3. Moving apps with Link2SD can be tricky as well. The app will be moved to /system partition and it's limited. Also if you promote and demote app, doesn't mean that you'll get the same space on /system again. There is option to do that, but need some expertise level.
4. Abut when the GApps to be set at system - after the reboot or before it - I'm not that sure. For me was working the option only after the root. For that reason, preload the Link2SD in advance.
5. v2.19 root reports a virus inside. If you're afraid to open it, then use a sandbox for that purpose (shade sandbox is pretty ok for that purpose).

this is awesome, thank you so much. Let's get you some coffee

Solved : passed "Google play services" in "Link2SD" by mistake.
Thanks for the great job :good::good::good:

Thanks for the quick reply , i did not have an update to do on the phone, i used the chinese software to root first like mentionned in the tutporial , then phone went into device corrupted ,
now im trying to install the oem firmware on the phone im trying with smart flash tool , but in the nx616j update file has no map.txt file
what can i do to reload oem software on the phone?

There are 2 versions for the software.
One of them has a single button on the right side with strange symbols and "root" in between.
The other one has 2 buttons - one is with "root" and the other "fastboot" in between.
If your phone is in boot-loop and before you do something stupid hard-core.
Reboot the phone in fastboot - long hold power, then when restarts - volume down + power.
You may need few restarts before stabilize it in fastboot.
Then use that second software and press the button which has label "fastboot" in the text.
Restart and you have to be ok

here is th escreen after root

I read but it's not so clear you mentioned something like 2 programs witch program are you referring too?. Also if you saw my picture I think the software must been reinstalled. I normally works with Samsung and having all the software to fix it but Nubia it's something new for me . Thank you very much for your help.

Br_other refers to the original Chinese link (see the tutorial there is the link somewhere).
The new tool includes a fastboot option.
Try to get the new download, otherwise I will reupload it later.
Otherwise:
Your bootloader is unlocked and a wrong bootimage was flashed.
So basically to repair you need to get into fastboot or recovery by pressing (phone must be off) volume down or up with the power button simultaneously.
If this still works you can download the official firmware, extract the boot.img out there and reflash it with ADB.
Basically adb flash boot boot.img

Hello. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
I have finished all the steps, however when I open playstore, stuck at "checking info" status. What could have I done Wong? Or missed any.
Thanks

phone is brick now
Hi guys
let me explain you whats going on with my phone ... But first i would like to thanks @Teeemoo and @br_other they've helping me a lot with my rooting issues but since then my phone is in boot loop mode and i can't use anymore I read everywhere on the net to found a solution but it's seems to not having anything works!!!! To do a short story my phone was working fine with the chinese rom but was useless without google play services. i was waiting every day for a root or global rom to flashed. Last week i receive a OTA software update version 2.19 so i did the update. 2 days ago i saw a post with all the instructions to root the phone and install the google framework with working apps in the main pages, not like the stupid sand box that was terrible to use. I followed the instruction and root the phone . After the root complete the phone reboot in bootloop mode and with no way to recovery my original software. I've posted my issues in this forum and get help from 2 member mentioned above. They told me to found the other root file with fastboot recovery it was really hard to found because the link is not active anymore but i finally found and install. I've put my phone in fast boot mode and try to recovery but i always had the same error message see the pictures attached. I decide to do more researched on the net and i found a way to install the boot loader IMG using ADB command . I try to install but i realize by making some test that my bootloader is not unlocked so i'm not able to install the image . I d'ont know what can i do now but i think i will throw my phone out the windows .......

Because you need to replace the 'boot.img' part with the location of ur boot.img file.
If you don't have the boot image, tell me and I will extract it for you.
