Hi I have had a Duke in Asia for about 6 months fully rooted running 3.2, so it is possible. I have attached all files and instructions in a word document to allow this to happen, but it is as always at your own risk. Please refer to the Euro version under "Tablet PC Duke Root" discussion forum for other queries
Thanks to Krtonsrx8 who supplied the boot image from "Tablet PC Duke" from Europe I have updated the install files to make the installation simpler for the Europeans. I have also modded the boot file from Europe so now there are separate processes for the Asian "Prolink TA8 Tablet" (mine) and the Europe tablet mentioned in this discussion.

Thanks folks. I found the answer is another thread.
Now I wentback to backup. However Im unable to do the ADB portion to send the superuser. it says device not found.. kindly help.
hi just seen your post, it has been a while since I put everything together. Make sure the .android folder is under your user folder and that USB debug is ticked under development. Have another look at the instructions and follow them line for line and you will get there
thank you very much!
Help

Hi!
Editing or flashing IMEI's is illegal.
If its a legit issue of it being wiped, you'll have to send it in to the manufacturer or a service depot.
We don't discuss such topics in XDA. Sorry. ?
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------
I'll add that the only success I've seen restoring an original imei , without a service center giving it, is buy restoring your EFS folder. If you had it backed up. Most people don't tho.
Good luck!
i really need some help .. i have root my SGH-T999L running 4.3 but i disable the knok . i dont remember the tools i use but every thing was working fine .. i rooted it for unlocking but i find out you cant unlock it with apps in apps store ... so bring it to a unlock shop they charged me 6,000 jmd ( jamaican dollars) but i didnt unlock it .. turn off my device for a day .. when i turn it back on i notice my wifi wasnt working .. so i booted in recovery mode which is cymod ( dont remember the spelling) but my recovery is philz wiz touch ( dont remember the name )
then i wipe the device n factory reset and alot reset .. when i turn back on my device n check the imei its ( null/null ) base band unknown and service mode is empty... i really dont know what to do ... i dont ave any money to buy any software or stuff to unlock it just want some help to fix my phone please
Hi,
The best thing you can do is go back to the shop and tell them to fix it. It could be your only hope.
Here is a very informative thread for your device. Read the first few pages, and you may need to try reverting to stock... That is covered in post number 3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370981
Ask any questions on any of that in the thread above.
Really though, I suggest asking the shop to fix it if you feel it was their fault, before messing with it yourself.
Good luck!
ummmmmmmmmm so what if i install back the stock firmware would that make it imei fix or the wifi to work?
Maybe, but unless you previously backup up your efs folder, which could be used to restore your imei, There's nothing much else you can do.
Flash stock, if it doesn't work, you likely need a service center.
Unfortunately that's about it. If you feel the shop messed it up, demand they fix it. That's your best option I'd say.
Ask in the thread I linked if you'd like other possible ideas.
Again, I hope it works out! ?
---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
Also note the updated link I posted, the first link was not the correct one.
just one last one quest ... what if i use galaxy_s unlock and galaxsim unlock to back up ma eps folder would that be a good thing ? because when i open ma eps folder on ma device i see : wifi , imei etc .. when open them i see files in those folders
I would ask that in the thread I linked to find out from the experts who own your device. ?
after flashing my rom to stock firmware ... i got my wifi working ... but when i check my imei it says " //00 and my bluetooth addresss is unknown
Please ask for help in the thread I linked.

I just bought the LYF Wind 1 Smartphone and couldn't find a proper way to root it, so I made up my weird way, which works perfectly fine and I'm sharing it with you guys..
Steps :-
Download Wind1Root.zip (mod edit: Please use the blue download button and not the green one.)
Extract it
Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone
Run unlock.bat
Enable USB Debugging again after reset
Run root.bat
UPDATE - Recovery replaced. Touch works now. Using Redmi 2 Recovery.
For any help, watch this video
or read the noob friendly guide at - http://www.ugeeky.com/how-to-root-lyf-wind-1/
i have unlocked bootloader.....and when i execute root.bat my lyf wind 1 shows twrp but in cmd it shows no device error....i have installed fastboot and adb
If anybody know how to replace Kinguser with SuperSU...
I tried installing Supersu-me and Superuser from playstore but none worked.
Supersu doesnt open. It stucks giving a black screen.
Its happening in my LYF wind 4.
If any custom recovery working, please do reply.
This worked well on my Lyf Wind 1 well. Not it is rooted with SU, But when i boot into recovery mode the TWRP has a bug and it shows only a blur screen after swipe to unlock. I need to power of and on again...
Bro can you please provide a root method for LYF flame 1 ? It will help me a lot !!
Need stock ROM and flasher for my Wind 1
What if something goes wrong when trying something new & attractive but UNSAFE?
If it's not available, then how to backup whole stock OS present in the phone right now?

That thing is working on that build number, I can personally confirm that, and as far as I know, it doesn't depend on that either. Check that fastboot is working properly

Which phone's recovery did you use? I want to port the rom for wind 1
@ Akash : Thanks for your input. Would you kind enough to post a link to fastboot , as ugeeky hosting sever is down. and I dont think the fastboot that I have is working properly. My Laptop is running Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.14393 64 bit . I hope it is not a problem .
Thanks again.
this is not working when i start root.bat it stucks up with a blur black screen and nothing happens I had to power off the device and power it back on. but the root did not happen, pls inform me what is the problem.
LeHarkunwar, A Big Thank You for coming up with the Root !! Have got rid of a lot of crap ware and unwanted stuff.
However, the points raised by "Java Baba" and "davinashgandi" deserve some attention. There has to be a tutorial/instructions for flashing stock firmware and stock recovery in the event that things go a little awry. A link to stock firmware and stock recovery with instructions for flashing the same is necessary and would decorate this wonderful work of yours.
Secondly, the twrp recovery is not at all functional when booted into. In such a case, applying incremental updates ( This Morning there is a new 37 MB update available) can soft brick the device.
The Wind 1 community will really appreciate if you can do something about this.
Again, Many Thanks for your superb work !!!

Stock firmware is not modified by this method, and there's no way to backup the stock recovery until we get the factory firmware, for installing any zips to the system, you can always replace the update.zip with the file you want to flash( remember to rename the file you want to flash as update.zip) in the files folder and then run the root.bat file.
Thanks Aakash. Yes, I'm aware that this method doesn't modify stock firmware. The suggestion was made so that people with soft bricked device would be able to revert to stock firmware if anything went wrong.
As for recovery, I managed to download the stock firmware and extracted the stock recovery. I also successfully flashed the stock recovery over twrp. However, the 37 Mb update was aborted due to some mismatch. No idea how to get around this with stock recovery. Yes, it's possible over twrp like you said but I would prefer to apply it through stock recovery.
If only we had a functional custom recovery, things would be even better.
On a side note, has anybody been able to figure the rebranded model and company of Wind 1 ?
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
Ok. I have tried flashing the downloaded update.zip via stock recovery and twrp but no success. I guess the only option left now is via sideload method. And if i'm not wrong then i would lose root if i installed it via adb sideload.
Slightly off topic, the voice Volume of Wind 1 appears low and somewhat muffled. It's not clear and loud like its in my MOTO G. Can fellow users please confirm this. I have also tried the *#4636#* code which opens the testing menu but it's of no use. Need some application or code to access the engineering menu via which we could increase the voice volume.
Hey bro,i am same version of Android on my Lyf wind 1,n I'm glad to have a solution that you came with, I want to upgrade my mobile to marshmallow(stock version), can you please instruct me how can I do that, I'll waiting 4 ur response, thank you

please can someone give me flashing tutorial for lyf wind 1 , my set is dead , its not powering on now ,
@harshad
Please ensure that you have properly installed drivers for LYF Wind 1. To check this, enable USB-Debugging and connect your LYF Wind 1 to PC. You will also get a message on your phone regarding granting authorization to your computer. Click on Yes. If you don't click on yes then you are bound to get the device not found or device offline errors !
While flashing, i got the device not found error a couple of times and i noticed that i hadn't granted authorization to my computer for USB debugging. The authorization window had popped on my mobile and i was too busy looking at my computer screen.
Now, open Device manager on your computer. Click on Scan for Hardware changes. If the drivers are not installed properly then you will see Yellow exclamation marks against your Android phone. Please install the USB drivers for LYF Wind 1. ( Google if you don't have the drivers)
You need to have;
1) ADB and Fastboot installed as Administrator
2) USB drivers for LYF Wind 1 installed
3) Allow OEM Unlocking , enabled via developer options.
4) Enable USB debugging , enabled via developer options.
If all the above things are in order then you shouldn't have any problems rooting LYF Wind 1 with Le Harkunwar's excellent tutorial.

Try a battery pull. Take out the battery and wait for 5-10 seconds. Insert the battery and now try powering up the device.
found this for stock rom installation incase something goes wrong http://giveawaytricks.in/install-stock-rom-on-lyf-wind-1-lyf-ls-5010/

you need to download stock rom and flash that to make your phone work again. I found this site, zeon22 has also listed a site, but i found this to be more user friendly in downloading files.

I also received the update but I'm not interested in updating since my phone is running fine just now, I don't want to loose root or brick my phone while updating which will most probably be more bloatware(few more apps from reliance jio). I will wait if marshmallow arrives for flashing stock rom if it arrives (although chances are pretty slim). Meanwhile I'm working on a port of cyanogenmod for this device form Yu Yunique, the device from which harkunwar got this twrp from, but I'm still not able to resolve touchscreen driver issue. Info on this device is really limited, and i don't know anything except that this device is from zte.
