Yes it will install custom recovery on your phone and you can install custom roms (if there are any good ROMS out there which are better then stock).
But I wouldnt suggest trying any other ROMS for 3 reasons;
1. The bootloader of a lot of the Sky-850 variants are locked so you might brick your phone by trying to install another rom (I did once took me a good 5 hours to bring it back to life)
2. They are all in Chinese and Vietnamese so you can accidentally flash a wrong ROM without Knowing the right one.
3. None of these ROMS out there are any better then the stock one, not even close so you better stick to the Stock ROM.

I've got an A850S, and the only reason why im looking for a custom ROM is for the SMS fix, I'm using the phone outside korea you see. I'm actually looking for a modded stock rom for the SMS fix, or like a patch i can install for the sms fix, but haven't found any yet.

I also have the S version, Just Install Go SMS or Pansi SMS from the market. You will be good to go.
You can also root the device using the method above and freeze the stock messaging app (which I would not recommend for you).
So the best way is Install a good messaging app from the market and hide your stock messaging app using the hide feature in the app drawer.

I know what you mean by freezing the stock messaging app, thing is, if i use go sms or whatever sms app, im able to send messages with 160 characters fine, but anything more than that, it says unable to send message at this time, please wait until the service becomes available. I can set handcent to break the message into 2 separate ones, but id like it to be just one message if you know what i mean. (sorry kinda OC)

Finally get it rooted,
happen to have another os window 8 which i haven't used it for months, after boot up it take quite a long time to search for driver (not sure how long cause was away for an hour) , i never install the driver from this website link. after that i just run the software and it works, and follow all the steps given except i need to swop to my sdcard2 for the zip file as the sdcard is the internal memory of the phone

Is there any way to roll back to original recovery and unroot

[Q] Re: THE ULTIMATE NEWB GUIDE. I'm too noob for to noob guide, help.

. I don't even want a custom ROM. I just want to be rooted and run stock with rooted google play store apps. Am I there?
I just want to run rooted apps with no ROM flashing...oh god why...where is the guide to root and only root?
You'd think this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652398 would be where to go to do that, but evidently it's sending me down the road to custom ROM flashing. AGHGHGhjkdashbdas. Do not want.
Ok, so here's where I am, I have finished step 8:
1. Download Odin 1.85 .
2. Download(USE FIREFOX!) ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 OR TWRP 2.2.2.0, they are both named "recovery.tar.md5" and will be downloaded as "recovery.tar.md5", DO NOT CHANGE the filename or else it wont install.
3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
6. Only Click "PDA" and select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
7. How To Put your device into Download Mode: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT to your phone.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (f)
e. Insert the USB cable into your device. The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted - DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON.
f. You will now see a screen w/a yellow triangle warning you about installing a rom . Now release the volume key(s) - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
g. Press and release the "Volume Up" key to enter into download mode - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
h. You should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
8. Click Start in Odin. It will flash the new recovery and will reboot the phone when completed. Your device will autoreboot into android. You are done using ODIN.
9. UPDATING CWM OR TWRP:
Now you need to udate CWM, download and copy cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_skyrocket.zip file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and choose "INSTALL FROM SDCARD" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
sk8erwitskil's CWM thread is here HERE , check to see if above file is the latest or dl the "Flashable zip" CWM file from there.
If upgrading TWRP go here HERE and follow the dev's instructions on using goo app, or you can use the flashable TWRP 2.4.1.0 file HERE and copy that file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and pick "INSTALL" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
How to enter recovery read section #2 below.
How to use cwm read THIS, also read Q&A on recoveries
You can upgrade to either CWM OR TWRP from which ever recovery TAR file you used in ODIN in step #2 from above.
10. You're done newbie and soon to be a power user, read and educate yourself as much as you can before flashing, happy flashing.

I don't know how to do step 9. Do I even need it? I have no desire to run a custom ROM.

yargdpirate said:
OK so here's the list of instructions I'm using to root my Skyrocket:
I have completed everything through step 4. I completely do not understand what to do after that. So, like I'm a 40 year old soccer mom, can you explain what I'm supposed to do to fulfill step 5? Is it through the odin app on my pc? Is this completed on my phone? The link provided that ostensibly explains to noobs how to do this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970) doesn't adequately explain to me what I'm doing and where.
Help, please!

Assuming that you have successfully installed your custom recovery you then need to know which recovery you installed before you update it. If you used CWM you can get the updated version from the Skyrocket development thread. Put the updated CWM file on your SD card and flash that zip while in recovery. If you used TWRP you can update it through the app that it installed if it did install one. GooManager (someone correct me if I am wrong on the name) I think GooManager needs suoeruser privileges. So which recovery did you flash?

i think you should stay on stock, read more b4 you brick your phone, no sense in rooting/installing custom roms when you dont know how to install a file on your scard, im not putting you down but trying to give you friendly advice

Vincom has a point. I taught myself through these forums and Google how to do it back in October of 2011. I flashed many a ROM and many files since then until I bricked mine Thursday. Now I have to pay 60 dollars to get it fixed. But on the upside I now have a Note II to play with.
Edit: She is asking for help though and she did ask in the right thread. Some people need more help than others.

For just rooting u have to run the superuser zip through your recovery
Oh and if you are not understanding what the stickies are saying to do then look it up on youtube because there are a lot of step by step instructions there.

a. put updated file in your micro sd card.... plug ur micro sd card to pc... drag file and drop it in your micro sd card. put the micro sd card back in phone.
b. to go to recovery press power button + vol+ + vol- all at once and hold.
why do u need to unlock play store app? playstore is accessible completely even without root. you can also sideload Amazon appstore and other apps without root. no need to get all bricked up just to run playstore. i'm confused what are you trying to do again?

im guessing he wants to run apps from play that require root, eg titanuim backup, but he doesnt know how to put a file on his sdcard, but then he has to learn how to install zips from recovery which someones got to teach him since he doesnt want to read/learn/search for the answers. he seems to be impatient and wants it done "now", its a brick waiting to happen, my advice to him was to slowdown and learn

agree and such bad attituted too. i wouldn't want to help anybody who cusses in every conversation geez little respect goes a long way

It you just want to root and not want to flash any custom ROMs or anything related to it,I will tell you how to from total beginning
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST , BACKUP EVERYTHING
In order to root Android 4.2 the following three requirements must be satisfied beforehand:
The Android SDK, which you can download from Google Developers
A custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
SuperSU, which you can download from CF-Root
There are no major differences between the two, but TWRP is more touch-oriented thanks to larger buttons. CWM is also available in a touch-compatible variant, but it has much smaller buttons. It's a matter of personal preference between the two though, but you have to choose one.
Before starting the process I urge you to perform a backup, as all data might be lost afterwards. You can copy the contents of the SD card to a safe external location such as cloud storage service or computer hard drive.
The first step that needs to be performed after all the files are downloaded is to install the Android SDK. Afterwards open the Android SDK Manager and select the following two items:
Android SDK Platform-tools -- it contains the required programs to install Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Google USB Driver -- it contains the necessary drivers for the Nexus device
Then you should create a folder in an easily accessible location within the command line. In this example I will use a folder named "Root" in my C:\ drive in Windows. The path name will therefore be: "C:\Root".
From the folder where Android SDK Platform-tools is installed (in my case it is "C:\Program Files x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" copy the following files to the previously created "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
The following files must also be copied to the "Root" folder:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery that you previously downloaded for your specific device (please see below)
For my 8 GB nexus 7 wifi(codename "grouper" I will use TWRP with the name "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img".
You can easily find the codename for your devoice by looking into Google
The custom recovery file differs for each device, please make sure you download the correct file
In order to make the process smoother for instance the SuperSU file can be renamed to "root.zip" and the custom recovery to "customrecovery.zip". It's a matter of convenience, but for accuracy I will stick to the original naming for this guide.
If the previous steps are completed you must have the following six files in your "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery. In my case it is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img"
From there, you can proceed to install the drivers for "fastboot mode". To install them, follow these steps:
Power off your Nexus device.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down then press and hold the Power button; the device will now enter "fastboot mode".
Go to Device Manager (Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager in Windows 7/8) and identify the device; for me it shows up as Android 1.0.
Right click Android 1.0 and select "Update Driver Software," then select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," then click "Next".
From "Have Disk..." option go to the folder where you have Google USB Driver installed (for me it's "C:\Program Files .(x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and select "android_winusb.inf".
Out of the three options select "Android ADB Interface" and validate any future warning window to install the driver.
Final preparations
Everything is prepared in order to start the installation process, but in order to do so a command window must be opened. Windows Key + R opens "Run"; type in "cmd" and the command window appears. Typing "cd C:\Root" and pressing Enter sets the "Root" folder as the working directory. Pressing the Shift key and right clicking inside the "Root" folder will also deliver the same result.
The device must be turned on in "fastboot mode" which I have explained at step no.2 during the driver installation process, and obviously plugged-in to the computer. You then have to type in the following commands while in "fastboot mode":
fastboot devices -- this is just for verification purposes; if there is no listed device then the drivers have been improperly installed and steps 1 through 7 must be redone.
fastboot oem unlock -> you have to accept the prompt in order to continue -- this command will unlock the bootloader, but it will also erase the data on the device which is why a backup is necessary.
fastboot reboot-bootloader -- this will reboot the bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img -- this will flash the custom recovery --please use the specific file and name for your particular Nexus device!
fastboot erase cache -- this will erase the cache -- might not be necessary but it's just as a precaution.
fastboot reboot -- this will reboot the device.
After Android 4.2 is loaded and running the SuperSU file must be copied from the "Root" folder to the internal storage (shows up in Windows Explorer as a Nexus device). A simple copy and paste will do the trick here.
Then you have to power off the Nexus device and enter "fastboot mode" again. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate until you can select "Recovery Mode". After the power button is pressed the device will reboot in the new custom recovery.
Rooting your Nexus device
If you have ClockworkMod installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select "0" (zero) folder
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Yes - Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Go Back"
Select "reboot system now"
If you have Team Win Recovery Project installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Press "Install".\
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" -- for me it's in the "0" (zero) folder
Swipe to confirm flash
Press "Wipe cache/dalvik" (just as a precaution)
Swipe to wipe
Press "Reboot System"
After Android 4.2 loads your device can run apps with elevated privileges (meaning it's rooted). A SuperSU app is installed in order to allow root requests, so please use your judgement on which apps you grant access.
If you experiences any problem, please reply and I will look into it.

^^you want him todo that, lmao, he doesnt even know how to put a file on his sdcard to flash it in recovery, theres no way a computer newb is going to be able to follow what you posted

That's why I have not used the word flash anywhere, I know that he does not know how to flash , I have posted the right thing for a total noob,( at least if he knows how to use command in windows or install drivers)
I helped him in the way I could and what he requested

You think that helped. LOL. Your telling him to do things that aren't even required to gain root with this device. Not everything is a nexus bro. Next time you wanna help study up on the phone your giving advice about. lol

Well , thanks for telling me that every android isn't rooted in same manner, I was thinking that all devices are rooted in same ways like for my nexus

naman14, im not putting you down, your step by step howto is admirable, good work, but the problem is that the op is clueless on tech stuff, its not the word "flash" he has a problem with, i could of said "install" and it would lead to same conclusion, he doesnt know how to copy a file to his sdcard, if he cant do that he has no business in modding his phone until he learns more. anyhow the op is long gone by now

I upgraded my samsung skyrocket s2 version 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 through the Kies. Then I tried to install TWRP 2.2.0 and Odin 1.85. I saw COM 14 ; COM 17 when I hit start button .It said
FAILED. Now it showed a yellow triangle in the middle of phone & monitor pictures. ( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again). Please help . Thank you very much.
I just tried other laptop . I saw COM 3 but it said it couldn't open the serial (COM )port . All thread completed (success 0/ failed 1)

complete guide by navin_n
People always asking again and again on flashing ROMs, Recovery, GApps, Root etc. So, I have made detailed step by step guide for this. Hope now it will be clear to everyone for these processes:
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING FROM FOLLOWING, PLEASE MAKE ANANDROID BACKUP, BEST WITH TWRP!!!​BECAUSE TWRP CAN MAKE BACKUP INCLUDING PRESIST AND MODEMST PARTITIONS!!![/CENTER]

STEPS:
1. Copy the downloaded zipped STOCK ROM to the root directory of External SD card or Internal SD card.
2. Power-off the phone.
3. Put the phone in the Recovery Mode and for this you need to press Vol+ and Power button at the same time for few secs and then release the Power Button.
4. In the Stock Recovery, perform wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (In the menu, use +/- volume keys to scroll up/down & power button for confirmation).
5. Depending on which SD card you have copied the zipped STOCK ROM, choose "Apply update from /sdcard" or "Apply update from external /sdcard" accordingly.
6. Select the zipped STOCK ROM to flash.
7. Wait until you get the confirmation of successful flashing.
8. Reboot the phone by selecting "reboot system now".
9. DONE. (Initial boot may take some time so have patience.)
GUIDE TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM:
AS FOR CERTAIN REPORTS IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO FLASH CWM RECOVERY IF YOU HAVE 1/8 VERSION
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Be sure to backup all important data (contacts, messages, call records, etc.) before proceeding.
2. Working Windows PC with ADB Drivers installed - without proper installation of drivers the process will not be successful.

1. Download the required zipped Custom ROM and copy it to the root directory of External SD card or Internal SD card.
2. Download the Recovery Tool zip file. (Link to download the Tool) . Make sure to download whole files. After that copy the zipped file to the root directory of C:\ or any place you prefer and then unzip the downloaded file.
3. Enable USB debuging mode. ("Menu Button" >> System settings(Settings) >> About phone(On the phone) >> Tap 6 times on Build number>>"Back button">> More >> Developer options >> Enable USB Debugging)
4. Connect the phone to the PC.
5. Go to the folder where you have unzipped the Recovery Tool file, and then execute the batch file "run.bat".
6. In PC, new window will open. Input your choice of Custom Recovery accordingly.
7. Follow the steps on-screen until all completes.
8. After completion, in the Fastboot menu, select "Boot recovery".
9. If the Custom Recovery was flashed succesfully, you will get CWM or TWRP recovery menu.
10. Perform wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
11. To flash the firmware: Select "Install ZIP" >> "choose zip from sdcard0 or sdcard1" depending on which SD card you have copied the ROM, external or internal >> Select Custom ROM >> Click Yes to flash selected ROM.
12. Wait until you get the confirmation of successful flashing.
13. Reboot the phone by selecting "reboot system now".
14. DONE. (Initial boot may take some time so have patience.)
GUIDE TO INSTALL GAPPs & ROOT:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Backup all important data (contacts, messages, call records, etc.) before proceeding, if necessary.

APPS taht can be remover (thanx navin_n)
If you have already Rooted your device then you can easily uninstall the system apps using "Root Uninstallers" available in Google Play.
However, for me , i prefer to use Root Explorer and delete the apps from system folder. The following apps are safe to delete but still i advise you to backup the files before deleting. If you use Root Explorer, make sure to change attribute of the system folder from Read Only (R/O) to Read Write (R/W) when deleting.
Be ware you make it on your own!! If there is also odex file, delete them too!!!
APPs that can be deleted:
folder --> /system/app
nubia_account.apk - only if you log in in nubia account (maybe you need this to use themes)
nubia_Calculator_v1.2.1.apk - calculator app (i dont like it so i installe another one and delete this)
nubia_Calendar_v1.0.apk - nubia calendar app
nubia_ClockWidget.apk - clock widget
nubia_Music.apk - nubia music player
nubia_myfile.apk - nubia file manager
nubia_NBSecurity.apk - nubia antivirus and system cleaner
nubia_NotePad_v1.1.5.apk - nubia notepad
nubia_zbiglauncher_v2.0.apk - nubia launcher for old people (everything is biiig)
NubiaPlatLogo_V1.0.0.apk - nubia lanim showing when you tap on NUBIA version in "about phone"
ZAppDataBackup.apk - nubia main app for backup your phone
ZDataBackup.apk - nubia backup app
ZQuickSearchBox.apk - nubia quick search box (if you install GAPPS it contains original google search box)
ZVideo.apk - very basic media player
If you dont use Live Wallpapers you cen delete the main app:
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
and of course all livepaper apks
BasicDreams.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
NoiseField.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
folder --> /system/preset_apps

ROOT
the only way to root it so far is to run an Chinese exe, which will root your phone and install superuser (chinese one). Then you need to uninstall the superuser and install one from google play.
CWM
so far there is only chinese CWM 6.0.4.6..looking for someone who can make it english.

Hi,
there ar ea lot of Chinese phones, this phone is ment to be sell china only.
There are many forums but in Chinese.
I wrote a little review on gizchina.cz (is in Czech language,so use google translator)

TIP
For new users i recommend do this:
-boot your phone and see vhich version of formware you have (latest at this time is 0.50).
-If you have 0.44, then go to dialer and dial ##36. You get to the menu where you can select which server will be used for updates (at this time is 0.50 only for few people for feedback). then go to ybout phone and tap serach for updates and you get the update.
-after update is installed, go to about phone and tap 5times "build number" line , go back and go to "more" and "developer option" and turn on usb debugging.
-launch my root.bat, select root your phone and th ephone will reboot to bootloader and will be rooted.
-now you can install custom recovery (from my bat.file) it is bilangual CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery. Everything works fine as i used it.
-now after root and cwm recovery installed, make backup of your 0.50 rom and then you can proceed to delete bloatware (a lot of bloatware).
for rotted phones with CWM recovery:
if you want to make update from ZTE OTA, you have to load original recovery, the one in my package is not functional with update to 0.50 and above, so you have to flash from CWM recovery this package, then reboot and get the proper stock recovery, which will be functional with the update 0.44-0.50 and later.

Thanks for the info! I'm currently updating to 0.5 and will let you know if I manage to root it too.
I`ve read the review and mine phone too has the squeaky back cover. It started squeaky after just few back panel removals. This is not a concern for me, but I wanted to ask you something else: How is you call quality? When I do calls the other side can hear me perfectly but the sound through my ear speaker is muffled and not very clear. Increasing the volume make it even worse. Do you experience such an issue?

-the back cover is really squeaky (i allready ordered another one)
-I am very happy vith the call quality. I had a nexus s whos volume vas up to 100%. Now i am about 60% and everything is loud and clear as i can hear
root and installing cwm is like a charm..i made it in the las 2 weeks (as i own the phone) about 10times
one Question: If you reboot the device do you also have the message "android is upgrading" every time no matter what you do or not do with the system?

- I tried updating to 0.5 both through FOTA and with direclty downloaded update from the chinese official site to the sd card, but I always get some error (forgot what it was), will try tomorrow once again.
- My apps are upgrade after each reboot too. I was hoping that 0.5 will fix this issue, but It seems this is not the case.
- I'm on the hunt for a new back cover too, but I will wait for the official blue ones Share your thoughts on the one you purchased after a few days of usage
My only problem with the phone I experience is the bad incoming sound quality during calls. I will have try another sim card.
ps: boy this phone is a beauty

Hi, can you please tell the name of chinese official site for our phone? thanks!

SITES IN cHINESE LANGUAGE
Hello,
so there are many sites. To see attachments you have to register to the sites, which is a little bit tricky due to instatnt need of translation in the registration process, but it can be done.
official with a lot of new information also from ZTE service:ztehn.com
the best for custom ROM and Recovery (development):anzhi.com
to see anzhi.com you need to add two adress in your windows hosts file see here
also some good information can be found here on myzte.cn

another tip
-If you get the "android is upgrading" on every boot, then you have to uninstall titanium backup, reboot, wait 3 minutes and let the system settle down, then install titanium again, reboot, and its done.
-if you want to restore WIFI access point and passwords form Titanium Backup, use backup from tar file, not from XML!!!

Waiting on a custom rom
Hello everyone,
I used the method I found at needrom.
It did the trick; the device was rooted, gapps installed, an multilangual.
But I didn't manage to install the latest update (50). I thought it was because the device was rooted, so I removed root, whitout succes, I am still not able to install the update.
Also I think the contact manager is buggy; newly added contacts dissapear after rebooting the device, it doesn't matter if I sync the device. I have to import my contacts from my SD card every time this happens.
So, I hope there comes a good custom rom for this device with this excellent hardware! I have Miui unofficiall on my Xiaomi Mi2s, it works like a charm. I hope soon this device appears on the list one of these days

update
-if you installed the ROm from needrom, i think you cannot upgrade to 0.50.
-on www.ztehn.com you can download the full 0.50 rom (only english and chinese language) this rom you can flash.
-contacts: If you are in contacts, press "more" and "advanced" and check the "default storage" it must be set to your google account. Then go back and check "display settings" and check which accounts are to show in contact list.
I had same problem and the problem was, that all new contact automaticly save to local storage and i have the local storage unchecked to display..so i havent seen my newly added contacts!!!

I have same issue
I have same isse. I dont hear anyone. But everyone hear me. i think that built in speaker doesnt work.

[GUIDE] Wiko Pulp 4G + Pulp Fab 4G Root, Custom Recovery, Xposed, Unbrick (stock ROM)

I decided to write a guide for the Wiko Pulp 4G and Pulp Fab 4G to collect all the information and resources there are to be found on them in one thread, and to help those that aren't familiar with rooting and flashing etc. This guide will cover how to root your phone, install a custom recovery (TWRP), create a nandroid backup, install SuperSU (over KingRoot/KingUser), install Xposed and the Xposed framework, and how to do a hard reset and a full reset to stock ROM. There are many different ways to do these things but I will only discuss the easiest and safest ways to do them, without the need for a computer.
Okay so the first thing we want to do is create a Nandroid backup. This is a complete backup of our phone which we can use to fix it in case we manage to screw something up. To make Nandroid backups though, we first need to have a custom recovery. I will explain how to do this with Flashify, but to use Flashify our phone needs to be rooted first. Note that you should pay attention to your phone's battery life when doing these things because your phone can get bricked if it dies while in the middle of something.
1. Rooting your phone
These phones are very easy to root using the KingoRoot app from their website, however we will not want to use the newest version of the app but a version not older than 4.9.0. I will explain why later. To get this app, google 'KingRoot 4.9.0 APK' and download the apk file straight onto your phone. Now open it, enable 'Unknown sources' (your phone will prompt you to do this if you haven't done so already), and install. Open the app and follow the instructions, and your phone will automatically get rooted.
Once it is done rooting it will show you a screen 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"
}
Just ignore this screen and close the app.
2. Installing TWRP (custom recovery)
Now that our phone is rooted, we can easily install a custom recovery using Flashify. You can download 'Flashify (for root users)' from the Play Store for free. Or if for some reason you don't have access to the Play Store, just google 'Flashify APK'.
Now we need an .img file of the custom recovery we are going to install that is compatible with our phone. Two users of this forum, sebi3481 and chuppito, worked on it and produced a custom recovery file that works on both the Wiko Pulp 4G and the Wiko Pulp Fab 4G which you can download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3qXB-4YIhwXSHBleDVwbjQzbTA/view
Be sure to thank sebi3481 and thank chuppito for their work by clicking the 'Thanks' button in the lower right corner of their post!
After downloading the img file to your phone, open Flashify, tap 'Recovery image', select 'Choose a file', and tap 'File explorer' to look for the file you just downloaded (for some reason if you select 'Downloads' instead of 'File explorer', the file will be greyed out and you won't be able to select it). Select the img file, tap 'Yup', wait for it to finish, and tap 'Reboot'. Now your phone will reboot into its new custom recovery. Swipe to Allow Modifications and you are done!
If TWRP offers you to root your phone or to install SuperSU, select no. Your phone is already rooted and we will be installing SuperSU ourselves right after creating a Nandroid backup.
3. Creating a Nandroid Backup
In TWRP (our custom recovery), first go to the Settings to uncheck 'Enable screen timeout'. This will prevent our screen from locking while it is creating a backup. Then, go to Backup, check all boxes, tap 'Select Storage' to choose where to create the Nandroid backup, and Swipe to start the backup. These backups are quite large (over 6GB) and take quite a long time (can be over 30 minutes), so choose a place where you have enough space and don't worry if it appears to have frozen, just wait it out.
Once finished, tap 'Reboot system' to reboot back into Android.
4. Installing SuperSU
If you followed this guide and rooted your phone using KingRoot, it will have installed its own superuser app called KingUser (or something along the lines). The problem with this superuser app is that it isn't compatible with every root app there is, so we will want to delete it and replace it with SuperSU. This can very easily be done using the app Super-Sume Pro which you can get in the Play Store for $5 (though if you've gotten this far you should already know how you can pirate it if you want to try it before buying).
Note that Super-Sume Pro only works if you rooted your phone with a version of KingRoot 4.9.0 or older, which is why we used KingRoot 4.9.0 in step 1, rather than the newest version from their website.
Once installed, open Super-Sume, grant it root access, press the blue button, and wait for it to finish. Once it is finished, SuperSU with automatically be opened and prompt you to update the binary. Tap Continue and then choose Normal. When it finishes installing tap Reboot, and you are done!
5. Installing Xposed
First, download and install the Xposed apk from this thread (attachment at the bottom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Next, download the SDK and place it anywhere on your phone or SD card:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/xposed-v86-sdk22-arm.zip
Now open Flashify, select 'Zip file', and choose the zip file you just downloaded. Select 'TWRP or Philz' (don't check any of the boxes that come up after you do), tap Yup, and choose 'Use provided'. When the flash is complete, tap reboot. Now your phone will reboot and start installing the framework which will take some time. Again, don't worry if it seems to have frozen, just wait it out. Once your phone has rebooted, you should be good to go! If somehow it did not work, try doing it again but choose 'Copy first' instead of 'Use provided'.

6. Unbricking
So we messed up and somehow bricked our phone, no worries! There are multiple things we can do to unbrick it. The first thing we want to try is enter the recovery mode to either restore from a Nandroid backup, or do a factory reset. We can enter our recovery by turning off our phone (by taking out the battery and putting it back in), and then pressing and holding the 'Volume +' and 'Power' buttons. Your phone will boot up and the Wiko logo will appear, but keep on holding the buttons until the recovery screen appears. For the Pulp Fab 4G, it is possible that you have to press the power button after the Android logo appears to enter recovery.
6.1. Restoring from Nandroid backup
If you have TWRP installed and have made a Nandroid backup, simply select Restore, select the backup you want to use, and Swipe to Restore. Remember to create a backup regularly and copy it to your PC or other storage devices!
6.2. Doing a Factory Reset
In case you don't have a Nandroid backup,
TWRP: Select 'Wipe' and then Swipe to Factory Reset (do not go into Advanced Wipe).
Stock recovery: Use the physical buttons to navigate to and select 'Factory reset'.
6.3. Reinstalling the stock ROM
If you could not fix your phone using the previous methods, there's one more thing you can try, and that is reinstalling the stock ROM. You can download the ROM for your device from their website. Unlike most ROMs though, these ROMs come with a tool to install it. For this you will need a computer. As far as I know you cannot get the ROM seperately to install it in the traditional way.
Pulp 4G stock ROM:
http://world.wikomobile.com/update-891-pulp-4g
Pulp Fab 4G stock ROM:
http://world.wikomobile.com/update-902-pulp-fab-4g
Extract the files to a new folder, open the exe file, and follow the instructions.
This guide is mostly finished so I'm already posting it but I will be be adding more stuff when I get the time.

Thanks a lot, Adnihil. I'm going to buy Wiko Pulp 4G next week and your thread looks very usuful. Will root/customize it ASAP. :laugh:

my flashify freeze when a push choose a file.

Adnihil said:
I decided to write a guide for the Wiko Pulp 4G and Pulp Fab 4G to collect all the information and resources there are to be found on them in one thread, and to help those that aren't familiar with rooting and flashing etc. This guide will cover how to root your phone, install a custom recovery (TWRP), create a nandroid backup, install SuperSU (over KingRoot/KingUser), install Xposed and the Xposed framework, and how to do a hard reset and a full reset to stock ROM. There are many different ways to do these things but I will only discuss the easiest and safest ways to do them, without the need for a computer.
Okay so the first thing we want to do is create a Nandroid backup. This is a complete backup of our phone which we can use to fix it in case we manage to screw something up. To make Nandroid backups though, we first need to have a custom recovery. I will explain how to do this with Flashify, but to use Flashify our phone needs to be rooted first. Note that you should pay attention to your phone's battery life when doing these things because your phone can get bricked if it dies while in the middle of something.
1. Rooting your phone
These phones are very easy to root using the KingoRoot app from their website, however we will not want to use the newest version of the app but a version not older than 4.9.0. I will explain why later. To get this app, google 'KingRoot 4.9.0 APK' and download the apk file straight onto your phone. Now open it, enable 'Unknown sources' (your phone will prompt you to do this if you haven't done so already), and install. Open the app and follow the instructions, and your phone will automatically get rooted.
Once it is done rooting it will show you a screen like this.
Just ignore this screen and close the app.
2. Installing TWRP (custom recovery)
Now that our phone is rooted, we can easily install a custom recovery using Flashify. You can download 'Flashify (for root users)' from the Play Store for free. Or if for some reason you don't have access to the Play Store, just google 'Flashify APK'.
Now we need an .img file of the custom recovery we are going to install that is compatible with our phone. Two users of this forum, sebi3481 and chuppito, worked on it and produced a custom recovery file that works on both the Wiko Pulp 4G and the Wiko Pulp Fab 4G which you can download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3qXB-4YIhwXSHBleDVwbjQzbTA/view
Be sure to thank sebi3481 and thank chuppito for their work by clicking the 'Thanks' button in the lower right corner of their post!
After downloading the img file to your phone, open Flashify, tap 'Recovery image', select 'Choose a file', and tap 'File explorer' to look for the file you just downloaded (for some reason if you select 'Downloads' instead of 'File explorer', the file will be greyed out and you won't be able to select it). Select the img file, tap 'Yup', wait for it to finish, and tap 'Reboot'. Now your phone will reboot into its new custom recovery. Swipe to Allow Modifications and you are done!
If TWRP offers you to root your phone or to install SuperSU, select no. Your phone is already rooted and we will be installing SuperSU ourselves right after creating a Nandroid backup.
3. Creating a Nandroid Backup
In TWRP (our custom recovery), first go to the Settings to uncheck 'Enable screen timeout'. This will prevent our screen from locking while it is creating a backup. Then, go to Backup, check all boxes, tap 'Select Storage' to choose where to create the Nandroid backup, and Swipe to start the backup.

Thank you friend. You helped me a lot. I had rooted my Pulp Fab 4G before and was able to flash TWRP and add Xposed Framework thanks to your post. I appreciate your post. I wish you all the best. Greetings[emoji106]
Sent from my PULP FAB 4G using XDA-Developers mobile app

thanks, this helped a lot

Hello,
Will this work on Wiko Pulp Fab 3G?

Hello, I bricked a Wiko Pulp 4G with kingo root.
My PC OS is Windows 10 64 bits.
I do not manage to install the drivers included by Wiko with the stock ROM.
Does someone have a file to put on a sdcard to flash it with the stock recovery (update from sd card option) ?
I can't see another way to fix this problem, maybe you can help me ?
Thanks,
Sebastien
--- Edit ----
It's ok i managed to flash it with a Windows XP...
Thanks for your guide i should have read it before trying to root my phone...

i need a new rom
good morning i don't understand why wiko pulp fab 4g doesn't support andorid 6.0. ( the compoments are very good) i need a custom rom, please help me!

I had some peculiar issue's with WIKO's flash software too.
It repeatedly failed at 94%
Then I was like "wtf, I'm going to check what it has done up to those 94% and if the system boots, I'll reflash it from there."
Turns out, failing at 94%, there was actually nothing missing from the firmware, it was 100$ perfectly installed.

Recovery mode don't work
Hello
I bricked my phone (Wiko pulp 4g), my recovery mode or fastboot mode won't open from any way, it just crashes and reboot the phone when I try to enter on recovery mode. (All the phone still work, the only thing that don't work is reading SIM cards).
What can I do? I already tried to install stock rom but my wiko program on pc don't want to download and inject the rom on android.

Sorry for the late reply.
Is your issue with loading fastload when you try to do it at boot (open bootloader trough button combination at powerup?)
Can you trigger fastload trough ADB instead?

Just to know: I'm not very used to Android, so I don't know how things work. The Pulp Fab 4g is not having, so far, an official 6 or 7 android upgrade, is it possible to install a custom ROM? I can't find any information on this...
Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I have no knowledge on Android!

What if i only do the kingroot thing?
I just want to root my phone... why would i want to do all those tings if with kingroot allready is rooted?

Unlike most ROMs though, these ROMs come with a tool to install it. For this you will need a computer. As far as I know you cannot get the ROM seperately to install it in the traditional way.
Pulp 4G stock ROM:

Pulp Fab 4G stock ROM:

Extract the files to a new folder, open the exe file, and follow the instructions.
This guide is mostly finished so I'm already posting it but I will be be adding more stuff when I get the time.

[GUIDE] Installing XPOSED on Galaxy S4 SGH-1337M (2017) (WITH PICTURES)

THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR GALAXY S4 SGH-1337M
Guide made on 2017-03-12
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!
PERFORMING THIS WILL MAKE YOUR WARRANTY GO AWAY!
LEAVE A THANKS IF IT WORKS
This guide is split up into four parts meaning that if you just want to root your phone or just want to restore to stock then you can YOU CAN NOT INSTALL XPOSED WITHOUT ROOTING AND GETTING STOCK FIRST!
Welcome to my guide on how to install XPOSED on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-1337M) this guide is strictly for the SGH-1337M the reason I made this was because I spent a lot of hours trying to put parts of threads together since no one had specifically made a guide that was simple and noob friendly for installing XPOSED. Another reason is some people feel uncomfortable following guides made for the SGH-1337 mainly because it is different from the SGH-1337M. Another reason was I found no updated 2016/2017 guides for it. Follow every part step by step or you may risk losing your phone.
Also make sure you backup anything that isn't synced with Google that you want to keep, photos, music, contacts. This will delete all data on the phone.
