I have Lenovo Lephone S686 with following specifications. If anyone has any idea on how to root this phone, please reply.
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225 Dual core 1.2GHz
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno203
Memory : RAM : 512MB / ROM : 4GB eMMC
Found already?
Am sick and tired of the stock....
tried 1-click root, king root, and all other root method and failed...
Anybody knows how to root this? bin4ry method did not work.
Hi everyone,
I found these instructions for rooting the Lenovo S686 from Chinese forums, you can try and see if it works. Below are the instructions which I translate from Chinese.
You need to install a 3rd party recovery, because S686’s original recovery cannot install unsigned update.zip. There are 2 kinds of update.zip, smaller one, about 1-2MB, is for obtaining root. The bigger one is for flashing the entire system. There is no 3rd party recovery for S686, but after looking at some other models’ recovery, I think we can use A765E recovery.
Turn on USB debugging. Connect USB wire. For desktop PCs, it is better to use the back USB port.
Download this: ht tp://pan [dot] baidu [dot] com/share [slash] link?shareid=415868&uk=4130114971
After uncompressing, you will get 2 files, update.zip and Lenovo_A765E_OneKeyTools.exe. Do not uncompress the update.zip. Just put it on the TF card.
Make sure the drivers are installed. Most of the time, if it doesn’t work, it is because of driver problems. You can check whether drivers are properly installed by going to Device Manager.
Installing fastboot driver: without disconnecting USB wire, turn off phone, take out the battery. While pressing ON and VOL -, connect USB wire. Most likely fastboot driver will install automatically.
Run 刷入中文Recovery (Chinese CWM recovery). Phone will reboot 3 times.
Entering recovery mode: Turn on the phone. Red LED will light up, before it goes off, press VOL + and -, hold until Lenovo logo appears. If you see Android recovery, it means the above steps did not work. If you see Chinese CWM recovery, flash in the update.zip that you put onto the TF card.
After this post on the Chinese forums, there were many people saying it works, and many people saying it does not work. I (tangys) could not get it to work with my S686. So either I am an idiot, or the guy who wrote the original post is an idiot. So please try it and post back here whether it works for you or not. Thanks.

just use framaroot i think it's downloadable on google play then use the gandalf exploit!
Just FYI I`ve noticed that you`ve mentioned Chinese characters in the previous text, let me know if you`ve met any translation problems, i`m the one can do the help
hi.from where i can find kernel or some ROM for lenovo s686.thanks
This following method worked for me. Got ride of the bloatware that Lenovo put on there.
got the files from
www lenovohome net/thread-137736-1-1.html
some detailed instructions to setup here
lenovo zol com cn/177/1763_1767961.html
I'm a noob at rooting/changing firmware so took some extra time.
Need to setup the ADB drivers. This was slightly involved as the drivers from the phone ITSELF showed up as not properly signed. So I had to go and turn off the win8.1 check to get it properly installed. You end up with Lenovo ADB Device in device mgr and a few other Lenovo items.
Basically, there's an exe that you run (name has chinese char in it.. so it may look strange). It's an automated CWM installer. My version now shows CWM 6.0.1.5. All the text in there is in chinese.
Lastly, you flash in the update_v2.zip and when done, you get a root enabled , bloatware removed CYANOGENMOD system.
One note: when done flashing and you choose reboot, there is actually a prompt for you to "repair root". I've found that you must say yes at this point. Otherwise, root is not working when rebooted. You'll have to repair root later.
That's the good side. Now the bad side:
This phone only has 3 keys (pwr, vol+ / -) so there's currently no way to get menu button.
There is also no store in the version flashed....no sure how to install any apps
Need to resolve these issues.

Hi I have just bought the chinese dual sim galaxy note 2 GT-N7102 mobile phone and i am desperately trying to root it but in order to root it i need to access odin download mode so i can flash. I have tried the standard way of accessing odin download mode which should be: after switching phone off press Volume Down, Home and Power button till warning screen appears and then press Volume Down to enter Download mode but ive tried it and it does not work! Any help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about rooting this model or accessing download mode on this handset?
here are some information on the phone to help you further:
chinese dual sim galaxy note 2
model number: gt-n7102
android version: 4.1.3
kernel version: 3.0.31
build number: JRO03C.N7102XXALJ1
Also i have realised this phone is wierd it uses mtk65xx usb driver for connection to the pc instead of samsung usb drivers.
Entering factory mode.....
In order to enter factory mode or also maybe known as odin download mode on the chinese dual sim custom made galaxy note 2 follow these instructions:
1. switch phone off
2. keep power button pressed and press volume up key and keep pressing the volume up key until you see download mode onscreen.
Its in chinese but you can pretty much understand the basic stuff like flashing from sd card etc.
Now you can flash custom roms, root etc...
NOTE: THIS PHONE IS CALLED iHKC HERO 2
Thank me if i was helpful!!!
Same problem, unable to put N7102 into download mode

I am also looking for ways to root my dual-sim N7102 (from China) phone. I tried many ways, but cannot put phone into download mode. Following your advice, instead of any download mode, I get into a menu with the following options:
Android System Recovery Utility:
1- Reboot system now
2- Apply update from SSD card
3- Apply update from cache
4- Wipe data/factory reset
5- Wipe cache partition
6- Backup user data
7- Restore user data
However, any option I press, it doesn't do anything and just shows the Android guy on its side with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. I cannot go any further.
I tried ODIN, but it doesn't detect the phone, same with Kies, doesn't recognise the model.
I also use adb reboot download from a command line, but same story, no download is possible.
Any ideas?
To root chinese phones you should try that chinese app that has a hat as an icon, don't remember the name now but it's made for the chinese market and it aurodetects your chinese phone and roots it. Just reply to this thread as i'msubscribed and will check the software name when I'm on the computer! talk later

Thanks, I am trying many rooting kits, but it seems I am always getting stuck when trying to put the phone in download mode, it just refuses to go into download mode. May be this is a special phone, not sure what else I can try, if you find that chinese root let me know, thanks.
Sure man just got it. Its called zhuodashi, download it from their website. You will need pdanet software for the driver and tethering. Please check my posts and see if you can help with my problems cause nobody is answering on this forum.... thanks

I got the way. I ordered the phone and I got a note that stated the steps and download links. Now since I dont have access to post websites here you will need to read it off the attachment.
1)Please open USB DEBUGGING and connect to your PC (Win XP,Vista, 7, 8)
2)Download Snappea from the download link in the attachment. Inside the folder there should be Snappea, Install it and connect phone. Snappea should ask to install an app on your phone, accept it and Snappea should Identify your phone.
3)Go to your Task Manager and Kill the Process called "wandoujai_helper"
4)Go to the folder you downloaded from the link and in the MTK6577 folder open the "MTK6577root.bat" file. The page should look green with chinese letters, Well just press ENTER, then click "Restore my Device." (No need to type password). Then it will reboot 2 TIMES, dont touch it.
5) Check the app drawer for a new app with a # icon. if its there then you got root access.
Now I would recommend to grab a superSU.apk attached and before STEP4, go to the folder and look for those 2 superuser apks and replace the superSU.apk with an english one I attached and then proceed to STEP4. Then it will install in english.
Just as a favor, if you know or learn how to install Clockworkmod or any working Recovery, let me know to [email protected]
It's probably gonna be easier just usingthe soft I stated above.

GT-N7102 backup Needed!!
I am willing to pay someone via paypal, for the person who can upload a full gt-n7102 backup. I bricked my phone trying to install CWM and it is stuck in a bootloop. Please someone just make a backup, may be M5D and just upload it, and send me an email to [email protected] I will pay $20 via paypal... You dont need CWM to make a backup.
Steps:
1)Turn Off Phone
2) Click and Hold the Volume Up+Power Button
3) Once in Recovery Mode, Press HOME
4) Then Backup
5) The "backup" should be in a newly created folder in the SDCARD, just zip it and send it to me.
Since this phone is not that popular it is important that we all keep a backup, online just in case, plus it will help others who bump into this issue. I have searched many forums but nobody has uploaded a full GT-N7102 backup.

Hi,
I think you might have the same problem as I faced. What i eventually figured out is that you need to press the "Menu" capacitive button instead of the power or home button to select an option in this "recovery" mode.

No, I gave up trying, but then realised the phone was already rooted when it came from China. Google Play was not working because the model was not recognised by Google so I couldn't install any apps. I then discovered a little program called APK Installer, which allowed me to install Titanium Backup and then I was able to uninstall all the chinese apps, and then install all other apps this way.
You can search the net for apk apps, there are several sites. The only problem is that I always have to use this method to install apps, but at least it works.

This is my first time asking for help directly here, I always find the answers in the other threads solved, but this time I can not find an answer.
I have a alcatel one touch 5020t evolve its a MTK6575 (t-mobile but is used in el salvador), I used to MTKDroidTools to install CWM Revocovery, I did back up with the same program but apparently did not because i look and i cant find anything in the back up folder, only left some files called:
ALCATEL-ONE-TOUCH-5020T_130818__boot_patched_140129-175612.img
ALCATEL-ONE-TOUCH-5020T_130818__recovery_140129-175612.img
in the folder called recovery.
Now the phone on, the startup screen and then turns off, I can enter a menu by pressing on + vol +, where it says enter recovery mode or normal mode, before they tried to install cwm I could go in and delete everything from there, now I get the menu of recovery mode and normal mode but since does not enter recovery mode, got it turns off, like when entering the normal mode.
I tried to flash with sp flash tool but I get an authentication error that is on the img
The pc recognizes my phone, makes the sound when you connect something, now if we go to Device Manager, a device called first appears:
MTK USB Port
After that is disconnected and then a new one appears called :
Media Tek Preloader USB VCOM Port
But there ir a problem, then this becomes a repetitive one disconnects and connects the other, but only when I connect the phone without battery only stays in:
MTK USB Port.

Sorry, but i could not solve yet, nobody helps me
So were you able to flash cwm to the device? there are several threads requesting a custom recovery for this device and either way could you upload those first two .img files I may be able to use them to try to recover my device
*** Okay so the problem is that the boot loader on this device is locked and for the time being a custom recovery is not possible. I still have access to the recovery on my device so if I could find a way to build an update file from the source code or an official firmware update I could fix mine. Yours may be too far gone. sorry.
any luck with a solution? How close to one have you got to...

A friendly warning: Don't just mess around with the Bootloader, that's one delicate piece of software, try to find how to unlock it first, then we can talk of changing the recovery. For rooting purposes I can attest that you can safely root it using the OneClickRoot solutions around the net. I used some chinese root and it worked like a charm.

I have had a OT-5020T with all the same symptoms as you describe. After much research and diagnosis here is what I have learned and know to be true.
You have soft bricked your phone. For this phone it results in the boot loop you described. At present a Custom Recovery that works is not available for this phone and any attempt to flash an existing one results in a soft brick. There are apps that will flash a Custom Recovery while the phone is one but once you reboot ... !!! Bricked!! This is because ...
a) the memory mapping for this phone is different that other OT-5020 models, so the Custom Recovery placement and indexing is wrong when flashed, causing the boot-loop, and inability for Custom Recovery to load,
and ,
b) the bootloader is locked for the 5020T (different story for other OT 5020 models), and no one has found a way around it yet. Trying to flash back stock firmware for the OT-5020T requires it to be unlocked.
One Touch Update 2.8.0 doesn't seem to want to work one the phone has been altered in this way. SPtools won't work because you need an accurate OT-5020T scatter file (memory map) ,and certification file (bootloader unlocker) to flash any image. In addition to all this the phone doesn't maintain a steady usb connection long enough to allow use of android tools adb and fastboot commands although it does can stay connected in a different mode.
What I have used to restore my phones firmware is a package from Furious Gold that allows the phone to be flashed to factory firmware. I have used it successfully, so I can confirm that the phone wasn't a permanent brick.

This just means you don't have a recovery.. just flash a new rom.
hi XDA community i have a problem regarding my a850 and i hope u or anybody can reply this comment in an instance cuz im in emergency...
IM EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM VERY DETAILED SO IT'S GONNA BE VERY LONG COMPOSITION, INCLUDING FROM IM ROOTING THE PHONE UNTIL I TYPED THIS COMPOSITION
so recently i "Framarooted" my device and was working properly as i expected,then i want to install TWRP, i see my baseband version does not have ROW or CN in there, it kinda like "A850.V13 ...(cant remember)", but i flashed anyway using the ROW version of TWRP and Mobileuncle MTK Tools. When I want to enter recovery (via MTK Tools) it doesnt show up, just stuck at white,big "Lenovo" logo (it probably doesnt work) but i was able to boot back to normal. Then i used System App Remover from Play and attempted to delete some chinese apps, and I DID a mistake... i was so clumsy enough to delete all chinese apps that origins from the rom i accidently deleted the file "classical" (which i guess the entire system ui, launcher etc) . Upon after deletion of that file I SHOULD HAVE NOT DELETE , it suddenly booted off with the startup sound muted halfway (its like, the boot startup sound have like 4 second duration and i heard the sound just for 1 sec).
Then it boots up again, but stuck at the logo "Lenovo For Those Who Do" after startup animation, so i assume this is bootloop or soft brick
Realising this incident i GOOGLED " a850 bootloop","a850 unbrick","a850 stock rom","a850 emergency reset" and "a850 emergency backup", then I found a website which describes how to flash stock rom to a850, so i did that, as it might work, but actually not for my case. I followed and downloaded exactly steps and files from that website and loaded Flashtool with its scatter file, then ticked PRELOAD and selected the preload.img, followed by checking USB mode ,clicking "Forced High Speed", checked the DA DL thingy, clicked Firmware Upgrade and the progress bar moved, after that i plugged my phone, without battery, to the pc via usb. I heard the hardware insert sound, but, Flashtool did not start flashing, it;'s still SEARCHING.
Then I read that u need the USB drivers, so I assume i do not have drivers for this phone. I used the Device Manager step and when I plug my phone, it pops up "MT65xx Preloader"(or MTK i dont remember) then I quickly rightclick and "Update Driver". It has two selections, ONLINE or BROWSE, so i clicked the online solution, but Windows seems cant find the driver i need,
so i used BROWSE option, which i used your usb driver by entering the directory of the driver in your file in "C:\Users\User\Downloads\Compressed\Lenovo_Drivers_SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150\Drivers" clicked install then it pops up an error "The third party INF does not contain digital signature information", so it doesnt install. So I used USBDeview and plugged my phone again without battery, it pops up "MT65xx Preloaded" with a purple dot, and if you need, i rightclicked that purple dot and clicked PROPERTIES, and here's information it gave:
Device Name: MT65xx Preloader

After checked, i resorted to HARD RESET via recovery (i tried to go to recovery again to see there's hope in there) and it BOOTED TO RECOVERY! (yay) but again problem strikes, the recovery I see now is FULLY CHINESE i dont understand even a single option i gave there.
So now my phone condition is still cant boot to launcher, and my very last resort is to use the JTAG option

You should log in to windows with out drivers verification in order to install the drivers. Tutorial on how to do than on windows 8 here. Then flashtool should regognize the phone... (you should fix this problem because you may also need it in the future)
There is also a way to fix your phone (if the classic theme is the problem) using ADB. Go to this page and scroll down to ADB method(tutorial) in order to install the classic.apk as a system apk through ADB.
(i am attaching you the apk: View attachment Theme_classic.apk)
Very thanks though cuz this actually solves my problem on my previous devices which doesn't detect upon connection, but I've actually resorted
to do unsoftbrick by a more professional person in my town (he sells and services phones) and it charged me RM50 ($15). Now my phone is back to normal with a rooted state (Chinese superuser app)
Again thanks for replying.
PS:also can somebody redirect me to lenovo a850 modding page? anybody

This is such a forum
Tried Installing a custom rom using Flashtool. Now the phone can't come and can't be dected by my pc. Installed the Drivers and they Installed. At first first I was having a Brom Error report Now nothing happens when I p,lug the phone.
So this is my first post on XDA, due to the lack of information on this particular device. Here I'll try to explain how I managed to root this device after trying several methods available here and all over the web. First I'll explain what didn't work:
VROOT (*)
Framaroot
Motochopper
SRS Root
MTK Toolkit
Nearly every solution on the web
After trying every method above, I noticed none of them were working. They all were giving false positives. No ROOT at all. I was kinda frustrated, 'cause I had followed every instruction possible, without success. I double checked my PC drivers, and I noticed something odd: Every time I changed the USB connection type on the L50, Windows installed different drivers for the device. I'm saying this was odd because I installed the drivers from LG drivers pack, so I was a bit confused. So, after Windows Installed the drivers for MTP, Modem, PTP and LG mode, I tried VROOT and... VOILÁ! I had ROOT:laugh::laugh:
So here are the steps I followed, and the tools I used:
Download VROOT (a.k.a. as IRoot) from w w w. mgyun. c o m / en / getvroot (without spaces)
Enable DEBUG MODE (Surf the web if you don't know on how to do it).
Plug your device to your PC and wait until Windows Installs the drivers for the connection type.
Without unplugging the device, Change the USB connection type to the next one. Wait 'till windows finishes installation.
Repeat the previous step untill you finish with all connection types.
Check Device Manager for missing drivers. If you have some missing, repeat steps above.
Open VROOT/IROOT and plug your device to the PC. Follow on-screen instructions and wait.
ENJOY!
Now, I have to find a Custom Recovery that works with L50... so if you guys know where I can get one, I'll appreciate your help.
Your Thread will be moved to appropriate Section.
So I tried to make a recovery for this phone, but it cannot boot. It says boot certification error, and the phone reboots normally.
So is it possible that the bootloader is locked? I want recovery for this phone too.
someone know how i can do a nandroid backup on LG L50 ?
Thank you so much. Worked on D213AR
Can you confirm if there is a way to unlock NFC hidden option on my phone?

If you managed to get Root (with the steps described on the OP) You can use Titanium Backup.

So is it possible to root the phone with the official rom?
Or am i missing something?
Although this is a pretty safe way of rooting these phones.. advance at your own risk!! I am not reliable for your phone. If you are broke and have never rooted devices before you might want to wait till you have a bit of cash for a new one if yours bricks.
I am making this tutorial to help others out that have ran into this issue before. Trying to root a THL 4000, 4400, 5000, & it getting stuck at the fastboot mode. I'm sure that this will work with any MTK device that has to have 3 windows driver states. So lets get this started
Things you will need......
You will have to have developer options enable on your device. If you do not know how to do this then follow the link below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/enable-developer-options-in-android-4-2-jelly-bean/
Windows Auto USB drivers for MTK devices....
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2p5zAW61UE2NjVLeTJNSEY0X0k/view?usp=sharing
Root Software... Kingo Root
http://www.kingoapp.com/
Get the “MTK Droid tools” only not the drivers. I don't think they are automatic as that is the method we will be using.
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2014/01/download-mtk-droid-root-tools-v252.html
Step 1
Keep your phone unplugged.
Tell windows not to auto install a driver for your phone. Go to your start button and do a search for...
“Change device” This bring up at the top... 'Change device installation settings' Click on that then you should be able to select “no, let me choose what to do” Then “Never install drivers from windows update.” Hit “Save changes”
Step 1.1
Before you reboot!!!
If you have plugged in your MTK device before trying this then you need to go to your device manager and delete the driver that is listed under “Android Device”. (on windows7 it was a HTC driver that auto installed that I had to delete.)
If not then move on to step 2.
To find device manager ..
Hit start then search “device manager” It should list it at the top. Click it then Android device should be the first one in the list.
Plug in the phone.
Right click on the HTC driver or whatever it installed for your phone and select from the list delete or uninstall this driver. Then it's going to want to reboot go ahead and say yes.
Unplug your phone restart your computer & move on to step 3
Step 2
Reboot Windows.
Step 3
Install the main driver.
Extract the USB driver .zip you download into it own folder.
Click into the folder then click on install and follow the install processes.
This will install all the drivers for MTK Devices X86 & 64bit(32bit/64bit)
With your phone booted up..
Then Plug your MTK device into your computer with your USB cable.
(If you see the installing driver message pop up from windows click it. Hit stop trying to install driver from windows update.)
The message it should say is “driver installed successful” in the same window it will list the driver it installed it should say “Android Composite ADB Interface”
Then it installed correctly.
If this failed then reboot and then plug in the phone again.
If step 3 worked then move on to rooting
Install Kingo Root and root!
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and some other information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom that says root and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT OR HANDLE THE PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go into fastboot mode.
This is where it will work or get stuck in fastboot.
If it worked the you are all set.
If it failed and got stuck in fastboot then continue on to step 4 of this tutorial.
Step 4
(If you just got stuck in fastboot mode above close kingo root and try holding down the power button on the phone. If power button did not work pull the battery if its a THL 4000. Hit the reset button on the back if its a 5000. Then boot backup into Android.)
You have to install a driver for all states of your android phone.
Recovery driver,
Fastboot Driver, << If it is getting stuck in fastboot when trying to root it.
Main system driver.
We have installed one for the main system now lets install the other two
Recovery driver.
Unplug your phone from your computer.
Power down your phone.
Hold the Power button and volume up at the same time till you feel your it vibrate or go to a screen asking you where you want to go. If it asks you use your volume and power buttons to navigate the menu and to select “Recovery Mode”
Now in recovery mode plug your phone back into windows. Because you installed the auto driver and you have windows not looking at windows update it should install the drive automatically.
It should be something like this..
Driver installed successful
“Mtk device driver” or “MediaTech device”
Then it should have the driver to talk to your phone in recovery mode.
If your phone has a option for fastboot in your recovery menu the select it.
If you don't then select “Reboot device” or “Boot device”. In the recovery menu.
Install Fastboot driver
If you had the option to go there from recovery then you should already see windows installing a driver for fastboot. It should say the same thing your recovery driver said when it was successful. If this worked skip the next few lines and move to the next step.
You only have to try to install this driver if when trying to root it with Kingo root it gets stuck in fastboot mode & Kingo fails to root or just sits there at waiting on device.
If you end up on this mode don't panic it happened to my THL 4000 & THL 5000.
Warning this is not the best of recommendations but it worked for me!!
Kingo root was hung on waiting for device and would not fail or stop trying like it was froozen. Now keep in mind I gave it about 30 mins to stop trying. The phone was still in fastboot mode so I X out of Kingo root to close it and unplugged my THL 4000 phone still in fastboot mode.
Now with phone in hand still in Fastboot mode reboot Windows. After the reboot pulg your phone into the computer with your USB cable still in Fastboot mode.
Windows will automatically install the same driver that it installed for recovery mode.
Then you are ready with all 3 driver Kingo root can access the phone at all levels to root the phone.
After the install on windows is complete if it is still in fastboot mode.. unplug the phone from the computer. Try holding down your power button (and if it shuts it off your good). If it does not work open up the back and take the battery out.(THL 4000) If the battery does not come out then take the back off and look for reset button.(THL 5000).
Now your device should restart back up to the main system. Stay at the main system for rooting in the next section.
Root the THL 4000 5000 MTK device.
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and someother information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom of the page and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT THE PHONE ON THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go back to the fastboot except this time it has a windows driver and it should get past that part this time. When its done it will say finish at the bottom leave the phone plugged in and hit the button. It should come to the rooting screen again and say Un-root OR Root again. Then you know its rooted.
Congrats your THL MTK device should be rooted now!! It should have installed SuperSu for you. Now go download some cool root apps!
With the MTK Droid Tools you downloaded follow this really good youtube tutorial from ITXtutor on how to back up you MTK device!!

I was able to root my device by installing and running the KingoRoot apk, It does everything by itself, it just needs an internet connection. Easy and safe.
My THL 5000 with the latest firmware was a bit resistant to rooting.
I tried several tools without success, but the kingoroot apk worked like a charm!
After getting stuck at 30 and 50% for ~30s the progress got stuck at 90% (and I was getting a bit scared) but I didn't touch the phone and waited until after about 2 minutes it jumped to 100% and rooted succesfully.
I did the root because I needed to fix the USB OTG, which was not allowing the use of the tiqiaa USB IR blaster with Zazaremote.
After doing the root, I ran the USB Host Diagnostics (Chainfire) and it reported that there was a problem with the OTG USB and offered to attempt a repair.
I accepted it, the phone rebooted and the problem was fixed!
Now I'm the local IR device terrorist! muahahaha
