[Tutorial][Windows]Unlocking Bootloader And Rooting HTC Explorer - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hey Xda Members,
This Is A detailed Tutorial On How To Root Your HTC Pico. I Know There Is A Tutorial By Jaggyjaggs But Many of Pico Users find it difficult to root there htc pico by this tutorial . So I am Trying to make things easy for Newbies
Rooting Your HTC Pico Requires Three Steps:
1. Unlocking The Bootloader
2. Flashing A Custom Recovery.
3. Installing Superuser App(Getting Root Previllage)
Now You MUst Know Certain Things Before Rooting Your Device:
WHAT IS A BOOTLOADER?
The bootloader performs basic hardware initialization, verifies the integrity of the operating system, starts the operating system, and provides a method to update device software. This validation is important to verify that the software loaded on the device will not damage sensitive components (radios, processors, etc.) or violate regulatory or carrier requirements. Google provides a base bootloader as part of the Android operating system, and most device manufacturers optimize this for their specific devices.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER?
Unlocking the bootloader is the first step towards gaining root privileges. Some developers and enthusiasts unlock and root in order to experiment with applications or with custom builds of Android. Needless to say, you should not attempt to unlock the bootloader unless you know what you are doing.

WHAT IS ROOTING?
Rooting is when the user has gained root or administrative privileges on the device. In general, this gives users access to make modifications that would not normally be possible. With such privileges comes both risk and additional capability-best left to the very technically savvy. With rooting, you could make changes to the device that may permanently damage it or render it inoperable.

Nice job, even though the images are kanged
My phone's screenguard is still chipped above the HTC logo Gotta change that.
Meanwhile, nice job :good: (But, I still feel that most of the instructions are just kanged and made windows like from this tutorial here)
Also, to help the OP, here are some useful links.
Java Runtime Environment is enough for unlocking bootloader and stuff. One can download their respective versions from the links below: (Credits to FileHippo for servers)
JRE 32-Bit: http://filehippo.com/download_jre_32/
JRE 64-Bit: http://filehippo.com/download_jre_64/
Also, consider reversing back to Yannou90's recovery as some users had problems flashing SuperUser.zip in TWRP 2.4.1 :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for such clean tutorial- best yet found anywhere over web. :good:
Just want to make sure some things before I root my htc_pico:
1) I am having windows8 64bit OS on pc, is it going to be any problem (driver issue or anything)? 'cause i think htc did not update sync for explorer for win8, because i cant run internet-passthrough through my pc (Yet I managed using virtual OS(Vmware ) )
2) Is it really necessary to download and install "Google Android SDK Zip"?
3) While giving commands in cmd prompt, What should be the connection type when I connect my phone to PC? (Charge only,or HtcSync) ?
--
I'm sorry but I might ask a lot of questions regarding the topic 'cause I am new (and noob ) and I want to be sure that I do not brick my phone....
Thank you

No what you have to do is reboot your phone to recovery..

Seem a new Box should be created here for this device - HTC EXPLORER A310E

IMPORTANT NOTE: wifi error and solution!!
Be aware WIfi conexion won´t work with that method after rooting (at least 4 known cases and me).
I had to install .zip custom ROM for it to work, here it is: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z
it's the only one until now for HTC explorer so has some limitations: only english and chinese languaje, has a few preinstalled apps in chinese, and no android market, install it yourself and don't forget to do a complete reboot of phone (untick fast reboot option) to prevent market from crashing when trying to download any app.
Note that you are free to modify preinstaled apps adding and deleting files inside the .zip (system/app/) and will be installed in the "rom memory" not internal one
be carefull not to delete important system apps but there are many widgets and stuff not needed
and yes, we need a BOX for HTC explorer!!

some info
hi, im italian user, i was watching the post to understand how to root my explorer, but i'm not so good with english and this is very complicated for me, some words are different and i don understand so i dont want to be wrong, something like need box htc, i'm not sure, and in italy is revealed that with this method they banned your phone from warranty, can someone help me or is there another way to root this phone? im in your hand, all italy is seeking for this root...here is the best and the only way to do...
thanks a lot
ivan

@ivanmemento 'needs a new box' probably means a new subforum needs to be created for htc explorer. im not sure tho.
i dont thik there is a way you could root without voiding your warranty.thats one of the usual disadvantages of rooting.

re info
thanks to the explanation, i know about the warranty all my phones are h.ak..ed and rom substitution, and i know about something that can happens if there is a problem but in these chase i mean that if you give them the serial, is different because they can find your phone in their database/black list, and so this is the fact, in other chase like gingerbreak for example, they have nothing in hand to find that you have done something on the phone, it's like if they don't know and if you sent in warranty almost like the factory setting you have more probability to solve evantually problems, but it's ok, my real problem is that i don't want to made errors for the process of rooting, because im not so good both in english and both in codes thanks for your response...
hope to find a solution my phone is also brandized so have many software inside that do itself upgrade upload and other stuff that is expensive...
thanks to all

thanks a ton for the help bro but i am not able to find the exact RUU file for explorer....and when searched for it, the sites had country specified ruu so....i am from India and i dont know weather its there for India so....if u cud plzz help me with that as well.... thanks a lot again....

Hi, I found this:
filefactory.com/f/72ab89aee0b699ab/
There are 5 RUU there for htc pico. I extracted the rom.zip file from the europe version and then I tried to install it by recovery. I couldn't install it because the zip was bad. Did I miss something here? Did I do something wrong?
I really want to install the europe version.

After unrooting my explorer and flashing it with stock recovery I got one more ota in india but when I downloaded it and started installing.....it entered the recovery mode and after 1/4 of the installation it stopped and displayed a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark in it.....and when I manually entered recovery it displayed this message "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" and when i clicked update from zip it said " Invalid operation " and started rebooting!
So can any one plzzz give me a solution to this....plzzz its urgent...

I can confirm this process works for the HTC Explorer (A310b). Once I rooted the device I notice the network SIM lock was gone! I was unable to find a custom ROM for this phone.

Can anyone please re upload the files

The recovery in this tutorial seems to be clockworkmod unlike mine whwre it has a chinese version of it... so if u guys install rom manager, with clockwork mod, why dont u try flashing a rom and let me know what happens... i tried and t requested i hav clockwork mod

I have on question to a guy who tried it.
After the unlock, you have still s-on and at the top in hboot an UBLOCKED string, or u have s-off alone, or s-off and the unlocked string?

My Blog - My Youtube Channel
Hello everyone,
Today I want to explain you how to install a custom rom for the HTC Sensation , Sensation XE & Sensation 4G.
I have recorded videos, and I am now creating this thread to share my experience with you! If you know my blog, you can also find the How To on my blog
So this thread has to be separated in different sections:
I - How To unlock the bootloader (easy)
II - How To Hboot S-Off your Sensation, with hboot 1.27 & 1.29 it works (strange but not difficult)
III - How To Install the recovery, 2 different methods (easy or medium)
IV - How To perm Root your phone (easy)
V - How To install a custom rom on your phone (easy)
X - Any questions?
You can't miss one of this point. You must do it on the order.
I can't be held responsible for anything wrong on your device. I have done that twice and it works for me! If you have some questions, I can try to answer you, but you are responsible if you brick your phone!
RequierementsSo to proceed, there is some requierements:
- Install SDK
dowload link: windows, mac, linux
- Your phone drivers must be installed. If your phone is detected and you can plug it to your computer on disk drive, it must be enough.
- Sync your contact list with your google account, and save your sms with: sms backup & restore (and place the save file on your computer)
- Factory reset your phone, this is why you must have saved everything!
ManipulationsFactory reset:
- Uncheck Fastboot
Menu / Settings / Power / Uncheck Fastboot
- Check usb debugging
Menu / Settings / Dev Options / Check Usb Debugging
- Turn off your phone
- Reboot it into bootloader
Press power & volume down
- Select Factory Reset
Article on my blog
You can follow all instruction on the HTCDev.com website.
- Remove the battery from your phone
- Reboot on bootloader mode
- Select Fastboot
- Plug your phone to the computer
Dowload android sdk tools: windows
You must have the 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinapi.dll & fastboot.exe
- On the coputer: Go to Start / Run.
Enter cmd
On the cmd window:
- Go to the tools folder, use this command:
cd C:/toolsfolderlocation
mine is: cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
- Enter the folowing command:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Then you must have a message like that:
Now you have to select the part starting from <<<<< Identifier .... to Token End>>>>>
Do a right click to copy.
- Then go to the htcdev.com website. You have to enter this code into the box message created to that, after having selected the unlock bootloader for your device.
PS: you must be logged in.
Then you will receive an email with a file: Unlock_code.bin
- Download this file, it is different for each device.
- Place it into the same folder than previously use, with fastboot.exe, adb.exe...
- Go back to the cmd windows and enter this command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
A new screen has appeared on your phone, you have to select yes with the volume button and press power.
CONGRATULATIONS, your device has now an unlocked bootloader!
Article on my blog
This article has been writing to explain you exactly how to pass your HTC Sensation / XE / 4G to Hboot S-Off. I have succeeded to do that with hboot 1.27.xxxx & 1.29.xxxx.
There is no any reason for not working! But this manipulation is strange, because you have to use a cable to connect the sdcard to a special hole! I haven't done that before, but it works!
You can also follow this article with the video!
So before doing this How To, you must have done the previous One:
How To Unlock the Bootloader
Let's Go:
- Uncheck Fastboot
Menu / Settings / Power / Uncheck Fastboot
- Check USB debugging
Menu / Settings / Dev Options / Check Usb Debugging
- Download the temproot-sensation-windows file: Download link
- Unzip this file into a folder on your computer
- Run the temp_root.bat, your phone must be connected by HTC Sync
your phone must reboot
- Download the ControlBear for Juopunut: MOD-Edit: Link removed on Developers Request. No rehosting allowed by him. Please link to Developers xda-thread or not at all
Thanks to http://unlimited.io
Main page: http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm (you must use it to download
- Extract it and run the controlbear.exe
THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT OPERATION. Be quiet, patient, and take your time, it's difficult to succeed in only one time.
You must watch the video at 6:15 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwEbh_JsI8
- Take a cable,
- Remove the back from your phone, you must unplug your phone to do that.
If the computer wait for the device, remove the battery then restart your phone and plug it to the computer.
The video is an easier way to see how to do.
You must be patient and have a screen like that on your phone:
And on your computer the cmd command with:
Do not remove sdcard from phone
Do wire-trick now!! Check the instructions at http://unlimited.io
Click to expand...

You must do the wire-trick
Press the cable on the sdcard protection during 0.5sec, release during 1.75sec press again during 0.5sec.
2 possibilities:
It doesn't work:
1 - Your phone do not restart. Try again
2 - Your phone restart, but stay on the same Juopunut Bear screen. You have an Error Code.
Close the cmd command and run the controlbear.exe again
It works:
Your phone restart and you have this two different screens:

- Press Y and enter to accept
You can now see the S-Off on your phone when you restart it on Bootloader mode!
We now have to remove the temp root!
- Restart your phone
- Go to the folder extracted before: Temproot Sensation Windows
- Plug your phone to your computer
- Run the temp_root_remove.bat
Some commands are launched & your phone restart
Your phone is Now S-Off
You can now Flash the recovery!
Method 1
Method 2
Article on my blog
If you have followed the previous How To, you must, because they are necessary to continue with this one, you must know I have done it twice. Once with the Sensation XE and the over one with the Sensation.
I have succeed to unlock bootloader and SOff twice with the same method. But I haven't been able to flash the recovery on the Sensation with the same method than the one used for the Sensation XE!
So I have to show you 2 different means to do that.
The first one is my favorite because you understand what you do. The second one is easier because you use a tool!
Method 1- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Restart your phone on fastboot mode.
- Plug your phone to the computer.
- Open the cmd windows on your computer:
Start / run / cmd
- Copy & paste the file downloaded into the tools folder containing the fastboot.exe...
- On the cmd command go the the location to the recovery
mine is: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
So the command is: cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
Then, enter this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
This command means: I want to flash by the fastboot a recovery named: recovery-clock....
You must see on the cmd 2 times OKAY
If this method failed, you can try the second one.
Now you can use the recovery, try it!
To use it:
Volume up: up arrow
Volume down : down arrow
Power : enter
Method 2- Download KGS Utility v6.6 attached to the xda thread
- Connect your phone on HTC Sync
- Run menu.bat On KGS Utility
- Choose Install 4Ext Recovery (number3)
- Then Choose 0
- You want to proceed so press 1
- You device is the only on the list 1
- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Rename it by recovery.img
- Move this file to: KGS_Utility_v6.6/tools
- On cmd press a key to continue
Your device must reboot on fastboot mode
Now, you must have twice OKAY on your computer screen!
You can now follow the next how to: To root your HTC Sensation!
Article on my blog
- Download the file: su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (new link 10 - 05 -2013)
- Place this file on your device
- Restart on Fastboot mode
- Select recovery
When the recovery is running
Select:
- Install from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
Go to the place where the file is located
- selected it
- Confirm by Yes
Now your phone is rooted
Enjoy to Install a custom rom
I MUST FINISH IT SOON, I am so tired right now
Also I have to change pictures by correct sizes and links to big sizes
Enjoy this part!
If you follow the video, you can do everything alone
Be patient, be quiet and Enjoy!
Flow.

great share!Thanks for your work!

heh why temp root for HTC-DEV unlocked soff process ? root will be much better ..as they can ignore removing temp root again ..after SOFF ..for root (works for both SOFF and HTC-DEV unlock) they can use my one-click -root tool (present in the soff guide ..link in my signature ...it basically uses the temp root method only then flashes the required root files then removes temp root ) ..just a single click of root.bat (also you can include this a final root alternative ..as this requires no recovery )
EDIT: also ppl who have their motherboards replaced ..were unable to do HTC-DEV unlock due to IMEI changes ...so in that case the general soff method wont work ..and hyuh(aka globatron ..one of dev of juopunutbear) is kind enough to release another version of controlbear..which just works with temp root ..and my guide covered that ...so in this case you can either redirect them to my guide (link in my signature) or you can use that info and add another sub-section here
EDIT2: also as for recovery ..if 4EXT there is the easiest way of installing it ..i.e doing root using my root tool and by using the recovery_updater.apk/reeocovery_controller.apk (the latter is in play store ) ..check the 4EXT thread for more info regarding the apk's

great guides for everyone who just buy a new sensation, like how great your rom review video

Thanks! Worked perfect. S-off on my 1.27.000 bootloader. Anyone nervous about trying it...it's not that bad at all. You might have to do the wire trick like 20 times, but it will work.

Boot into hboot and fastboot flash the recovery using ADB. You also need to have a ROM on your SD card that you can flash after you install the recovery.

Welcome to the thread, it's been long time i was waiting for a single comment other than mine : p.
well, i got my hands on "CWM" and it's in English as from where i get it i saw it in english language. One thing i haven't tested it, coz i'm not sure about my device 'bootloader' status. don't know incase it's unlocked or locked. i think CWM can be installed/flashed only when bootloader is unlocked. so i'm not installing CWM until i'm sure about safety.
"Framaroot" worked for me too last night but "supersu" icon did not appear in menu but i installed an app to confirm root and "supersu" notification came up for granting permission. what ever, Will you also please share "framaroot" version you used and what exploit worked for you. i used framaroot 1.9.2. and please tell me about "bootloader" too.
i'll upload "CWM 5.5.0.4" for y511-u30 or u25, but again i have not tested it. i'll edit thread about how to install. : ). take care and post results after testing. i hope it will be safe. goot luck.

It's ok about version, any chance of remembering "exploit" you choose to root device "boromir" or "Barahir"?. as i remember, "Barahir" worked for me. again not sure. but device got rooted without showing "supersu" app but hidden and installed.
anyway, i have uploaded Framaroot app and in short i'll be uploading "CWM".
is your device "bootloader unlocked"? i'll not recommend you to try installing "CWM" without bootloader unlocked.

CWM information/img/files added.
I am trying to find unlocking bootloader solution for every one and then will add "CUSTOM ROMS".

faramaroot v1.9.2
select "install Supersu"
then "boromir" but not sure
its nearly 2 months ago i have rooted with faramaroot,

Ok. Thanks for replying. I am not sure but i think, to flash custom ROM "bootloader" needs to be unlocked. Maybe 'CWM' don't need bootloader restriction but required root.
Try to find way to unlock bootloader for our device. There are ways but some cost much and the one which don't is official way and they have not answered any of my email/query yet.
It not a problem for me individualy to get bootloader unlocked but i want to find out solution for every one.
One more thing, just want to make sure that it only with my device serial or same with some others too.
1. Serial mentioned in phone settings is strange like "0123456.." and serial behind battery is different.
2. Incase, u ever boot into chinese bootloader/recovery by pressing vol- and power button. Did u happen to see "Board test fail"?
Thanks, I'll be waiting for ur reply.

Vol- and power i think does not work or only it is used to "fast boot" the fone
however Vol+ and power shows board test fail but still u can test some hardware, all menu comes in chines but still camera, mic and other hardware can be checked.
i always reboot to recovery by writing commands to terminal emulator.

Thanks for info, u r helping. It clear doubts regarding regarding issues and i could move forward for more tests. i'll try my best to make addition in main post about how to flash/install recover VIA "ADB". i hope....
I enter fast boot by "adb" and the command i am gonna ask u about give no results, except dots "....". Tried even entering into chinese mode/fastboot but same result.
Can u confirm "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" without qoute's. It only show info about bootloader, either locked or unlocked. Thanks again.

Kingroot 4.8 worked, so I ran the TWRP Setup and guess what another way to ruin the phone even further. Stuck in a boot loop now.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUYS GUIDE! It will most likely break your phone from start to finish!
Please provide a reset copy of your system.img and recovery.img for people who have lost their phones due to this guide, it would be very useful as the devices can be restored if adb / fastboot access can be achieved.

Well well QuantumRevenger,
Sorry to hear that this method didn't worked out nicely for you.
Maybe your firmware got upgraded and the recovery didn't stick?!
Did you try the combination Power + Vol Up while the phone is off and enter
the Recovery menu clear Cache + Dalvik after this reboot.
I can't help you with the systems files because i ditched the vodafone firmware for Vanilla 4.4.2 Android.
The only thing i can do for you is point to this thread where i moved towards myself-> MTK devices
Here you will learn an little how your MTK device works, also you can search XDA for an different Easy Magic TWRP or CTR or even Philz!
Enjoy
&
Good luck!

Do you know if this will also work on the UK model?

Hello RHodgett,
It most likely would work because this model bought by Vodafone for their (EU) market.
As we all know it's a cheap china phone suited for Vodafone requirements!
~Not speaking for the firmware updates they push once an while~
But rooting can be done very easy with the given root from my post or even now with the updated
Kingroot 4.8 said by QuantumRevenger. And like for the custom recovery it can get tricky mentioned by QuantumRevenger, i had no problem with this at that moment.
But i urge you to read my answer to QuantumRevenger problem from above, after that you can decide at your own risk.
Enjoy
&
Good Luck!

Thanks, I'll give this a go when the handset arrives in a few days and report back.
Can you explain how to then install the Vanilla 4.4.2 Android firmware? (or any other suitable stock firmware for the device)

No Problem & you're welcome!,
For flashing roms you need an custom recovery otherwise you can't Flash.
Nobody here is tailoring for our Vodafone branded(China) smart first 6 so you have to go where i send QuantumRevenger towards and where i am. (See post answering QuantumRevenger).
Here you can use the roms and learn more about our MTK devices in general.
For flashing roms you must install in the recovery as an zip file and then you're done!
MTK has other methodes to install but that's for advance users only.
Enjoy

Goodluck.

Hi, I've root using the Chinese apk and root checker says the device is rooted but I wasn't able to install SuperSU 2.46, it keeps saying the binaries need to be updated and it fails every time I update.
Rebooting using the TWRP setup just shows the Powered by android splash. I'm not sure what to do now?
Edit: Ok I've flashed a recovery from the threads you linked, finally got a bootloader working. Now to flash a ROM Got CM12.1 running, thanks!

DID not work for me

So I followed all the steps and everything seemed to work fine. The TWRP software said it was going to reboot into recovery but it is stuck at the android logo screen.
When I hold power button + up key its the same, stuck at the android screen.
When I hold power button + down key it boots into vodafone android.
I'm kind of stuck to what to do now (sorry I am really new to this)?

Darn that's a bummer! It worked for me and had everything running xposed, SuperSu etc. :/
Try another Magic installer use CWM or Phillz, they can be found here or via google.
So weird i bet Vodafone did a firmware push on there bootloader or not all EU firmwares are the same(dat would be pretty nonlogical).
Sorry for the troubles please try the above solution and report back if that fixed it.
Goodluck!

How to load and unzip
Menroid said:
Vodafone Smart first 6* NL *(EU) Rooting and More!
Done & Closed!After a wild chase finding the correct tools and apk's this took me 2 days to complete an fully rooted and Simlock free Vodafone branded Smart Firt 6.
Most of the files can be downloaded from below here on XDADISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may Void your warranty and can result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
It may be that you get an *softbrick *(bootloop) because Vodafone still pushing update's for their Firmware patching and upgrading the software!
#Rooting:
1# Download the root.apk onto your phone or SD card and install.
2# Now start the app and you will see it's all in Chinese, just click on the Root Shield Badge ontop of the screen.
3# Let it do its magic installing the scripts most likely it will auto reboot your phone without rooting it,
you must restart the root app again and click on the Badge (like done at step 2#).
~Now you are Rooted but the Superuser is Chinese and what i have noticed it's a temporary Root, if you lose root again just redo step 2#!
4# Download and install SuperSu-2.46 now launch an root app most likely the Chinese app will popup granting
for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!
#Twrp or Cwm Recovery (PC version):
1# Download ADB Driver and install on PC. Download from here; http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2267ab98
2# Download TWRP Setup (thanks to Dees_Troy & Yuweng) and unzip on your PC.
3# Activate USB debugging under developer mode* and connect with USB to your PC.
(done by *tapping 7 times on the build number in the about phone section)
3a# Open the Twrp setup.exe and click on the next button.
3b# Just wait till the installation is completed followed by credits.
3c# On the next window, click on yes to proceed.
3d# Select Start Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MediaTek and click on ok
3e# Click on Yes to auto port.
3f# Now make sure your phone is connected, adb driver installed and usb debugging enabled, then click on OK.
~if you get any pop up msg on your phone screen just click on yes.
Just wait for a few seconds while the setup is been completed,
if the process was successful, your phone should automatically reboot into recovery.
~Now you need to make an full backup with Twrp so that all the files are safe!
#More Updates following Soon!

I loaded into the Phone memory, but not it says cant ready such a file. SO how does one unzip the root file whilst in the Android phone? OR is is that we unzip whilst on the PC and then transfer all of it into the ANdoird phone?

Thanks

That's the problem. SiInce the file is in ZIP format, downloading into the SD card and then doing the Power+Vol up, and update from SD zip, gives me an aborted message.
Putting the Zip file in the Phone memory (not the sd card) just doesn't open the file, saying format not supported.(casue it is ZIP)
What am I missing? please help with a step by step idiots guide, if you can .

The root is an normal APK there are only two zip files here; the TWRP and the SuperSu.
TWRP.zip is an magic installer for your PC with the given USB drivers and Debuging turned on(See my guide).
Now SuperSu.zip can only be installed via an custom recovery like TWRP.
I'm noticing you're trying to flash without an
custom recovery?, that's an no go.
1# Root with given or Kingroot 4.8.
2# Install custom recovery TWRP, CWM or Phillz (Must be an magic installer version via PC) all these versions can be found on Xda.
3# Flash SuperSu via custom recovery and replace the first installed Root!
That's all there is to it, no deeper layers on how-to install.
Enjoy

Good luck!

OK got it. THe only way I could get the APK into my phone is via the phones own browser from this site. I could only move from my pc as a ZIP file only. Hence could not install. But now its done. I think I am rooted now. Root checker still says not rooted, but I can use ES file explorer and have managed to remove a few app. Does this mean it is Rooted?
Can I remove the Rooting apk from the phone now without any adverse impact?
I have also managed to load the TWRP on the SD card. IF I want to Flash a rom, how do I go about it? Can you link and stable ROM which I can use? Need a small tutorial.
AND very many mahy thanks for your support on here and input.

Okay Onlydongles,
I don't think you have Root (yet!), Es browser has an side menu.
Here you must scroll down and select Root Explorer, that's the real test if you got Rooted!
If not install Kingroot 4.8 via your phone browser.
For ROMs you have to go where I send everybody towards ->MTK Devices (link given in answers above).
Flashing ROMs is easy done by custom recovery select the downloaded ROM zip and flash with the given creator instructions B).

[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

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 .......
sorry for my english is not my primary language

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 .......
sorry for my english is not my primary language

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.
