Here's a detailed guide for all beginners who want to root Desire S with official 2.3.5 ROM using a PC with Windows Installed. I have personally tested this method on a few devices with a clean official ROM.
Notes:
This guide use the path "C:\Android" as example
Files preparation:
A) downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your memory card.
(You can always visit androidsu.com/superuser/ for a newer version. The above link is the version I used.)
B) download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img
Put this file in the directory containing "fastboot" and "AdbWinApi.dll" on your computer.
(You can always visit clockworkmod.com/rommanager for a newer version. The above link is the version I used.
Part I - Unlocking your Desire S and Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
1. Visit htcdev.com and unlock your Desire S first. Keep ALL files you downloaded from htcdev.com.
(A detailed guide is on that official website. At the moment, please choose "All Others Supported Models")
2. Ensure there is no file name as "PG88IMG.zip" in the root directory of your memory card. (The file may exist as you may have tried to root your device.)
3. Power off your phone.
4. Press and hold "Power" and "Volume-" buttons together until you a white screen with a few lines.
5. Use "Volume+" or "Volume-" buttons to choose "FASTBOOT", and press the "Power" button.
6. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
7. Run "Command Prompt" and run the following command:
cd C:\Androidfastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img
Part II - Rooting Desire S with ClockworkMod Recovery
8. Power off your phone.
9. Press and hold "Power" and "Volume-" buttons together until you reach a white screen with a few lines.
10. Enter "RECOVERY"
11. Choose "install zip from sdcard"
12. Select "choose zip from sdcard"
13. Choose "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"
14. Choose "Yes - Install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"
15. Turn on your phone. Install and test some root-required apps such as Titanium Backup/Root Explorer/ClockSync,etc
16. Then you are done. Enjoy
Good guide. You should add information about the difference between htcdev unlock and s-off. Just to let people know what they're doing and what could be done different.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
Agreed, for some, htcdev unlock means more unnecessary steps, over and over again.
Hello,
I hope unlock the Desire S bootloader.
At the HTCDEV site, HTC DESIRE S is not listed.
Can I select the normal HTC DESIRE or the HTC Desire HD ?
Need help
Thanks a lot for eyahl's and ammenRA's opinion.
My intention is keep this rooting guide as simple as possible.
And I think there is already a glossary out there, so I did not (and won't) post it here.
I hope you understand.

You don't have ClockworkMod Recovery in your SD card.
You should have flash(install) ClockworkMod Recovery directly into your phone through Command Prompt, which comes with a PC with Windows.
Make sure you are following the steps, especially Part I carefully.
yes i have clockwork recovery because when i start recovy it shows me normal clockwork program in which i can choose from sd card but that program which i should choose from sd card is missing i dont understand it ..
@poster
u forgot to mention that if they want to flash a ROM they need to also flash the boot.img of that ROM via fastboot.

You have to download the "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" from
"downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip"
Then put the zip into your sdcard
How to remove Super user and get back to factory reset
I don't find the Factory reset option under privacy and the BootLoader Factory reset is not allowing to do as well. How do I remove Super User and get back to Factory Reset
Thanks for the useful guide...
I've managed to unlock the phone as instructed.
However, when following Part II of the guide, when I enter Recovery Mode I dont have the option to 'Install Zip from SD Card'.
Instead I get an image of a Phone with a red explanation mark. I have made sure that Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip is on the root of the sd card.
Any Ideas?
Thanks a lot

OK, I managed to figure this out, I had to press power and volume-up to get to the menu in which i'm then taken to the Andriod System Recovery <3e> menu.
There is no option called 'Install Zip from SD Card' however...
You didn't flash the custom recovery, or didn't do it correctly.
You're in stock recovery.
Please look at the guide, look at what you've done and see where you went wrong.
Thanks for that Jack_R1... How sure how I missed that.
Everything seems ok now. Thanks a lot!

I have the SU application installed. etc.
i booted in to make sure everything is ** unlocked **
and its stating:
** UNLOCKED **
and S-ON still
am i missing one last step or has something gone incorrectly, im not sure i fully understand.
when i run the SU application from within the phone there is an update available. the SU app downloads the file and attempts to install it,. then fails "obtaining root".
Anyone got any ideas ? how i can get to the S-OFF or any links i can read ?

I used your method on the latest HTC RUU ICS with HBoot 2.02.00002 with some differeces I used SuperSU and 4EXT Recovery. It worked :good:
. 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.

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)
i wanna make a simple website were you cann choose the carrier and then the model.
woila. you get a list of important files you need to flash ( like root, custom recovery ) and a help file to important xda threads
and a little guide.
this is simple and clean. but its too much to upload all those files alone.
i need help. maybe you wanna do this with me ? . perfect!
example : HERE
im sick of searching for files for every single thing on a new phone.
if you wanna help me:
- write a little guide ( info.txt )
- put that in a folder with the files for root, a custom recovery and stuff like that,
- name that like the name for your phone,
- zip it,
- upload it somwhere,
- and give me the link.

This procedure has been tested on LENOVO K4 NOTE MARSHMALLOW (S219) and it worked perfectly fine.
i posted this thread since the previous procedures only covers rooting prior to S218.
verified working on s219
DISCLAIMER:
I JUST FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED BY "AYAN CHOUDHURY" ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL SO CREDIT GOES TO HIM.
IF SO HAPPENED THE PROCEDURE WAS MADE BY ANOTHER DEV AND WASN'T QUOTED PROPERLY BY MR. AYAN COUDHURY. MY APOLOGIES AND GIVE CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE PROCEDURE
I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, SOFT BRICK, HARD BRICK, AND OTHER INSTANCES FOR YOUR DEVICES AS IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR ME 3-4X BEFORE POSTING THIS THREAD.
original vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPx8QWnYLNo
Before we start:
Here is the details of my handset
Model: Lenovo K4 note (PH) [MTK MT6753 8CORE 1.3GHZ 3.00GB RAM]
Model #: A7010a48
OSv: marshmallow 6.0
Android security patch level: April 1, 2016
Kernel ver: 3.18.19+ [email protected] #1, su jun12 18:27:10 CST 2016
Build number: A7010a48_S218_160612_ROW
Step 1:
download all necessary files.
all files and links are not mine and credit goes to the owner of the files
adb tools : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1djhqSkJ6QkFKaUk...
recovery(i.e TWRP) : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1RlB0U01sUkVHMjg...
aroma file manager: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1TmJqRmxIUUI3YUU...
Super Su : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1V2ZobTI0RVpKQ1E...
xposed installer : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1N2RDc2Y4TzlWaWM...
xposed framework : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B16daNyhWTx1QmlRTHhXOUMydDQ...
step 2:
a. back up any necessary files from your handset.
b. since some computers doesn't show your lenovo k4 note while on recovery mode, it is imperative to put aroma file manager and supersu on your sd card. "do not extract. just copy them as it is"
take note that the next step will definitely hard reset your device.
step 3:
a. enable developer option on your handset. go to system settings/about and click build 7x or as it says "you are now a developer"
b. go to developer option do this two things
enable oem unlock
allow usb debugging
c. once you are done please connect your device to your laptop
step 4:
a. run adb server (go to adb folder, shift+right mouse click and choose open command window here.
b. it will prompt you to allow your pc to connect/control your devices just click YES
c. on your command window, type ADB DEVICES (it will detect your lenovo k4 note)
d. once detected type ADB REBOOT-BOOTLOADER (your device will reboot)
e. once rebooted, type FASTBOOT DEVICES to verify if you are already in fastboot mode
f. if connected proceed to step 5. if not please repeat procedure
step 5:
a. once connected go to adb folder on your computer. you will see a file named unlock recovery.bat
if not, copy this text
call adb.exe devices
call adb.exe reboot bootloader
call fastboot.exe getvar all
call fastboot.exe oem unlock
call fastboot.exe format userdata
call fastboot.exe erase recovery
call fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery/recovery.by.gursewak.img
call fastboot.exe getvar all
call fastboot.exe reboot
echo done successful please press any key to continue
echo disconnect your phone and press power button untill phone reboots
pause
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to notepad and save as batch file, name it as UNLOCK_RECOVERY.bat
b. click the UNLOCK_RECOVERY.BAT then it will ask you on your device to confirm, (will add screen shot later on) just press volume up button
c. once the process has been done, (will take few seconds) extract recovery.img to adb folder
d. go to your previously opened command window and type
FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY RECOVERY.IMG (the one you extracted)
step 6:
a. once flashed, disconnect your device (it will show a tiny text telling you transmission ok)
b. press and hold the power button for few seconds to turn off the device
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU WON'T TURN ON THE DEVICE UNLESS THE NEXT STEPS ARE DONE. IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON YOUR DEVICE REPEAT TO STEP 1.
c. press and hold vol up+vol down+ powerbutton simultaneously for few seconds, once you felt a vibration, release power button whilst still holding the vol up and down button
it will show the lenovo screen then go black. (don't worry it means you successfully flashed recovery.img)
d. connect the device to your computer
if lenovo shows on your device, now is the time to recopy aroma file manager and supersu. if not just wait for the screen to turn back on.
e. once twrp recovery is on, go to mount and check SYSTEM. (do not touch anything aside what i unstructed)
d. go back to previous menu and go to install
install aroma file manager and wait for it to finish
f. once installed it will go directly to aroma file manager, go to system folder and scroll down. look for recovery-from-boot.p and delet it
g. once deleted exit aroma file manager (button can be found on right corner)
h. go back and install beta supersu which you copied. (browse sd card)
i. once flashed, reboot system,
step 7:
a. if you made it this far, then you are almost done.
b. just finish the lenovo start up.
c. once done, connect your device again on your computer and copy xposed apk and xposed arm to internal or sdcard
d. install xposed apk
e. turn off your device
step8:
a. reboot to recovery (press vol up and down and power button simultaneously, once you felt a vibration release power button whilst holding vol up and down button. lenovo screen will show and it will eventually go to twrp recovery)
b. click install and install xposed arm
c. onced install. reboot system.
THERE YOU GO... YOU ARE DONE. YOU CAN VERIFY ROOT BY DOWNLOADING ROOT CHECKER FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE.
WELL I WAS FORCED TO ROOT MY K4 NOTE JUST TO PLAY POKEMON GO.
I WILL UPLOAD SCREEN SHOT ONCE I ALREADY COMPILED THEM. THANK YOU
IF YOU LIKE AND HELPED YOU A LOT PLEASE HIT THANKS AND LEAVE A MSG.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, JUST COMMENT IT HERE.
Thanks it worked. I was about to complain when twrp recovery does not show up. BUT IT WORKED THANKS
xposed isn't necessary to root the phone. Am I right? Maybe you should explain that in the OP. You'll get people confused down the road if they don't already know what they're flashing.

hi
will it erase internal phone memory (i mean after flushing ROM can i get my data using any recovery software)
i am also using same s219 Rom model lenovo k4 note phone.
Actually i deleted some files unexpectedly from internal memory but i want them back, so i tried many ways but no software is identifying internal memory as a drive. I tried to root using root apps but marshmallow not allowing.
i found this topic, but i have only doubt is after flushing the rom can i recover my data using any recovery software?
Thanks in advance
thank you so much!
now to answer some queries and give thanks...
@Duffy144: glad you like it.
@Bdwilk: thank you for the input, i will do that.
@infected_162k: i haven't tried yet since i haven't been able to check latest OTA, but i will try it now since s218 causes lag and memory leak when using facebook messenger. and as you've said. thanks for the confirmation for s219, at least i am more confident. btw, does this really solve the memory leak of the s218?
@anvesh.k yes it will delete all files as the procedure requires you to factory reset your handset.
Rooted K4 Marshmallow
Damn. Finally. I got root. Can finally get rid of that Cell Broadcast. Thanks Sir ansei. The unlocking of bootloader, flashing of twrp and supersu process is pretty much straight forward and will only take you about less than 10 minutes.
Am not sure if this is a systemless root i have. If so, it's great. I am on S_219. Zero performance or stability issues.
I feel my K4 Note runs smoother and snappier compared to S150 row. Still getting the hang of the revamped user interface though.
Overall, Marshmallow 6.0 S_219 runs great with unlocked bootloader, twrp and supersu.
Can someone confirm if this works with 2 gb / 32 variant?

Amm, about that memory leak thing, i basically know what that is cause it was a huge problem in my father's phone(gionee m3). But i exactly don't know how to know if it's still there or not as I use messenger hardly 2-3 times a week. guide me about this so I can tell you exactly.
Another thing that will help other users: I have to factory reset my phone due to a google error ( unable to communicate with Google server). I was not sure about root and xposed will be gone or not. But here is the result : lost both, root and xposed. Just flashed both again, super su and xposed framwork, worked

Old data? Not sure what you are referring to. After the unlocking of bootloader, flashing or twrp and root, restarted the phone in normal mode. Went through the setup wizard and all. Reinstalled my usual stuff. Back to where I left in Lollipop. Zero issues with Marshmallow 6.0 S_219.
Sir Ansei, everything is fine except 1 minor issue, when rebooting to TWRP, I often get the black screen. Power cycling the phone works. Any ideas?

May be what he trying to tell is he accidentally deleted some of his important stuff and now he wants to get it back with the apps that use root to dig around. But as per my experience, it only work if that portion of sd card of internal storage is stayed untouched not if overwritten by something else. But if you already rooted, just give it a try...maybe you'll be lucky...

I cannot get fastboot to recognize my device & perform the bootloader unlock. Whenever I type in " adb reboot bootloader" or click on that "unlock_recovery.bat" file, I get booted into a dark screen where "fastboot" is written at the bottom & the command prompt window says < waiting for device> & I am stuck there until I reboot my phone.
Please tell how to get past this!

5. open minmal adb and fastboot and enter the following commands:
Code:

some users report a password prompt while in Twrp, just press "cancel" then go to twrp home screen , WIPE-FORMAT DATA, after formatting data , go back to twrp home screen -REBOOT-RECOVERY , after that flash the root file (make sure your root file is on an external sd card .

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.
Place the root file on an external sd card.

Thank for your fast reply. By following your steps, I was successful in rooting the phone but when rebooting back to home screen, the black screen's still there.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.
Need stock boot.img
I require the stock boot.img so if anyone is kind enough to upload it, ill be greatful. Or if anyone knows how to extract it from the raw image, that'd also be appreciated.

Download the official firmware from Asus website and unpack the zip file, and you'll see the boot.img file there.
