Computerless methods:
1. Framaroot
2. Towelroot
3. Kingroot for Android
4. Kingoroot for Android (Not recommended, but often works)
5. iRoot for Android
6. z4root
Methods requiring a computer:
1. iRoot
2. Root Master
3. Kingroot
3. Kingoroot (Not recommended)
4. CF-Auto-Root
Root Checker - Check if your device is correctly rooted
SuperSU - the recommended superuser application
ADB and fastboot drivers:
ADB and fastboot are (extremely simplified-ly) a way for your computer to talk to your phone. And installing them may be a bit of a problem for some users.
To install it on windows there is a handy tool called the 15 Second ADB installer which will install pretty much everything you need.
On Ubuntu install with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
On Fedora:
Code:
sudo dnf install android-tools
On OS X using Homebrew:
Code:
brew install android-platform-tools
Recovery:
A custom recovery is an important part of device unlocking. It's the best and the most convinient way to fix your device if something goes wrong.
Root is required (in most cases) for installing the recovery.
The two most popular recoveries are:
1. Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) - CWM is a very stable recovery with many useful features. You can use the link here to download and install the official version via the ROM Manager app.
2. Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) - TWRP is a stable recovery with a very nice UI and many features such as the terminal, partition managment, file browser and so on. I personally use TWRP because of it's functionality, but if you're starting out CWM would be a better choice because of it's stability and compatibility. Also TWRP is a tiny bit more difficult to install as there is no one click installer.
If your device is not offically supported you can get an unofficial version, however there is no gurantee the unofficial version will work, it might even forever break your device. In most cases it does work, just look at what other poeple who tested it say.
To find unofficial recoveries Google:
[your phone model] cwm recovery
or
[your phone model] twrp recovery
After installing the recovery the first thing you should do it do a nandroid backup.
If you have any questions first try to Google the answer, butif you can't find it feel free to ask me here with a post (not a PM).
Also remember to quote me or tag me with @janekmuric if you want me to repond.
My phone is a Google Pixel (sailfish) and I am trying to flash the latest version of the Team Blackout zip for Google Voice. My goal is to install a dark themed google voice app in the easiest way possible without having to root and keeping stock recovery with over the air updates. The easiest method I came up with was to flash a Team Blackout Zip without installing but instead just booting into TWRP and flashing the zip file. I am open to other methods of getting a black google voice app on my phone. Thus far I have unlocked the bootloader and have tried the method listed below:
1- Download latest version of the Google Voice Team Blackout Zip on Computer
2- Go to Android Studio - scroll down to command line tools only and download windows sdk tools
3- Download latest TWRP.img file
4- Create new folder to put sdk tools in along with twrp.img along with zip file to flash from Team Blackout
5- Go to new created folder - hold down shift key and right click mouse button - select Open powershell window here - type adb devices - adb reboot bootloader - fastboot devices - fastboot boot twrp file(rename file to twrp.img then grab file and drag to powershell window - hit enter
6- Go to TWRP on phone - hit advanced button - hit adb sideload button - swipe bottom button
7- Go to powershell window and type adb sideload then drag and drop file.zip(change name of file) and hit enter
8- Then reboot phone
The whole process seems to work with no error messages in TWRP on my phone or in the powershell window/command prompt however I can't find the app on my phone. I have tried other Team Blackout zip files for other apps which also seem to get installed but after can't seem to find any of the apps. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong? Is the phone not allowing the apps to install because of the stock recovery, or am I somehow looking in the wrong place on my phone? I have tried looking in my file explorer app as well as apps in settings with no sign. I also don' t know if the apps have to be installed after being flashed?
Please let me know if you can figure out what I am doing wrong or if you can figure out a better method of getting a black themed google voice app on my phone without rooting and with keeping stock recovery along with future OTA updates?
my eMMC is 11
Phone is a SG900V
How do I get from 4.4 to 5.0 once I've installed everything? I followed the below tutorial and was able to get root and everything working on 4.4 but once I try and flash the MMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip from Safestrap the phone wont boot. Been trying different things from a few hours now I'm lost. Need 5.0 for android auto rooting this old phone to try and get carstream up.

TWRP
TeamWin Recovery Project – or TWRP for short – is a fully touch-based custom recovery that was initially developed for Nexus devices, but has since been made available for countless other smartphones and tablets as well, in form of both official and third-party builds.
Installation
Installing TWRP is super-simple and if you’ve previously installed a custom recovery, you shouldn’t have any trouble doing it. Though for those who haven’t had any prior experience with custom recovery installation, we have you covered. Just head over to the guide linked below and follow the GooManager method for rooted devices or the fastboot method (for both unrooted and rooted devices with an unlocked bootloader) to get TWRP up and running on your device in no time. If neither of these methods work for you, the flash_image method should come handy, though it requires root access.
Features
TWRP gives you access to all the features you would expect from any custom recovery, and then some. Let’s take a look at them in detail.
Interface
The interface of TWRP comprises of large buttons that make it easy to spot the feature you require at a quick glance and select it with a quick tap. You’ll also find soft buttons for Home and Back here, along with one for the log view that shows progress of all the operations you’ve performed in recovery.
Install
As the name suggests, the Install option lets you install any recovery-flashable zip file to your device. This can be a ROM, a kernel, a mod, a theme, a system app – pretty much anything that’s available in the recovery-flashable zip file format.
So recently I was browsing Wish and discovered phone's could be bought and ordered two devices out of pure curiosity.
This guide probably will apply to a LOT of devices out there, if it works for you and you aren't on one of these devices, let me know! More than interested to see how many
devices this will work on apart from these 2 Wish specials I do plan on buying a few more Wish devices in future to see which one's are the best to go for in terms of price/performance.
This guide will go through rooting them and restoring a few parts of Android.
This applies to the following devices:
-Alps R10
-Alps S93
I'm not responsible for any damage done by following this guide, please do so at your own risk.
I don't like using Kingoroot and don't suggest it at all, but for this guide we will use it, following by replacing it entirely with SuperSU.
Things you'll need:
-Kingoroot APK (Not to mix up with Kingroot)
-SuperSU 2.79 APK (2.79 is required for rooting after Kingoroot, any newer versions will give you the error 'Binaries occupied')
-Root Browser
-Root Uninstaller Pro (or a similar app)
Let's begin!
1. Start off by installing the following Apps: Kingoroot, Root Browser Classic (optional, not needed for root), Root Uninstaller Pro
2. Launch KingoRoot and allow it to root the device, you might need to restart it once complete.
3. Once rooted, open up Root Uninstaller Pro and confirm that you have root access. (OPTIONAL: Remove the preinstalled Facebook and WhatsApp apps. I can't confirm if these apps are legit so it's best they go)
4. Install SuperSU 2.79 from the downloaded APK file.
5. Open Root Uninstaller Pro, switch to 3rd party apps, select SuperSU, and push "To system app", reboot the device and allow android to start back up. You'll get a message saying "Android is upgrading" Sit tight as this can take a few minutes.
6. Open up Root Uninstaller Pro, switch to System Apps and locate SuperUser (Ensure you get the KingoUser one and not SuperSU which we just installed) and remove Kingouser. DON'T REBOOT THE DEVICE.
7. Close Root Uninstaller Pro and open up SuperSU. You'll get a message that binaries need to be updated, push YES for this and select NORMAL installation. Wait up to 10 minutes for this to install. It'll take a while on these devices. Restart the device once complete.
8. Open up SuperSU and confirm everything it no longer asks for binaries to be updated.
9. Open up Root Uninstaller Pro, head to System Apps, and remove Kingoroot.
10. Reboot device.
11. Go to the Google Play Store and install the latest version of SuperSU. Launch it and update the binaries again once prompted. Reboot the device once this is complete.
The device should now be rooted and Kingoroot/Kingouser free. You can remove Root Uninstaller Pro here if you wish!
Enjoy your rooted device! Everything after this is optional, but just helps restore a bit of Android.
Optional steps:
-Increase screen resolution
For this you'll need ADB.
1. Head to settings, unlock developer mode by going to About Phone and spam click Build number until it says "You are now a developer"
2. Go back to settings, into Developer Settings and Enable USB Debugging.
3. Download the Android platform tools.
4. Load up a command prompt in the directory of your Android Platform tools.
5. Set the new resolution:
-For Alps S93, enter: 'adb shell wm size 960x1920'
-For Alps R10/R11, enter 'adb shell wm size 1080x1920'
6. Update the density. Your taps might be a little off, and some things might not look right without this. These are the best I've found so far for these two devices:
-For Alps S93, enter: 'adb shell density 280'
-For Alps R10/R11, enter 'adb shell density 320'
7. Reboot and confirm with an app like ResInfo.
-Replace boot animation and shutdown animation with stock Android or a custom one
1. Head into SuperSU, Go into the Settings tab and un-check "Mount namespace separation" (This is required, otherwise you'll get issues writing to root. You can turn this off later.)
2.Launch Root Browser/Root Browser Classic
3. Swipe left to reach the root directory, navigate to the following path: System > Media
4. Delete/Rename/Replace bootanimation.zip. If you remove or rename it you'll get the original Android boot animation.
5. Delete/Rename/Replace bootaudio.mp3. If you remove this, you'll have no boot-up sound.
6. Delete/Rename/Replace shutanimation.zip. If you remove this we'll get the stock Android shutdown animation, which happens to be the same as the boot animation.
7. Delete/Rename/Replace shutaudio.mp3. This will make the shutdown silent.
8. Reboot the device and confirm you have the stock Android boot animation!
-Speeding up the devices a little.
For this one you'll need to install No-Frills CPU Control. It's a great little app and will help us out here especially with the R10/R11.
1. Go to the Google Play Store and install No-Frills CPU Control.
2. Launch No-Frills CPU Control and grant SuperSU permission if prompted.
3. Apply the following Settings:
Max Clock Frequency: (Alps-S93) 1.3GHZ and for the R10/R11 set it to 1.001GHz
Min Clock Frequency: (Alps-S93) 1.001GHz and for the R10/R11, 1.001GHz
Governor: Performance
I/O Scheduler: noop
Apply on boot: This one is completely up to you, however I've turned it on and not experienced any issues.
4. Push Apply and grant root access if prompted.
Other modifications I've made that aren't covered in this post:
-Removed the clone Samsung theme from the R10/R11. This can be done using Root Uninstaller Pro and locate the theme app and just remove it. Reboot and it should be gone.
-Replace Launcher3 with stock CyanogenMod. To do this you'll need to install Nova Launcher, Load up Root Uninstaller Pro and Remove Launcher3 under System Apps. Install CyanogenMod's Trebuchet Launcher and set it as a system app. Reboot and choose default launcher as Trebuchet. You can pull Trebuchet's APK from any Android 4.4 ROM on the internet. I used one from a Galaxy Young.
-Enabled the Navbar at the bottom. This can be done with Root browser, head to System, Build.prop and add the line 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' Save and reboot.
Hopefully this can help some of you out there who buy one of these devices, whether it was for fun, by accident or on purpose.
Let me know if this worked for you or not!

Without unlocking the bootloader or flashing a custom recovery, I don't think it's possible to upgrade the version of Android. This guide is just for gaining root access.

Thanks for the quick response. I already unlocked the bootloader but can't find any custom recovery for that particular phone (R10). I bought it just as a spare in case one of my four daughters breaks or has her phone stolen, but it seems to have ingrained malwares (the browser for one) and I don't trust it as it is. If I find a solution I will let you know.
