[Guide] HOW TO ROOT Huawei G510

Hi there,
My name is Andrew and recently I tried to root my Huawei G510 but I couldn't find any tutorial that covered everything from root to custom recovery and custom ROM so I decided to take a few pieces from every post that I saw and to try it.I want to mention that I am on Mac OS X and almost all the solution I found were for Windows which I don't like and I don't have a copy of it.
Firstly you need to root your phone and for that we will use 'Cydia Impactor', an application that is made by saurik[/] which is the creator of cydia.You can download Cydia Impactor from here and it should work on almost any device (and if it doesn't it won't brick your phone or something like that, according to the website).
Download Cydia Impactor.
Open Cydia Impactor.
Plug your phone in your computer and enable USB Debugging (by going to Settings -> Developer Options (turn it on if it is off) -> Android Debugging). ( pic. #1 )
If you don't have Developer Options go to About Phone and press multiple times on Build Number. ( pic. #2 )
Be sure that '# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su' is selected and press Start.
After a few seconds your phone should be rooted, to check if the operation worked install.
this application and press 'Verify ROOT'.You should see 'Congratulations! The device has root access.'
Download the 'Android' archive from the bottom of this post. It contains adb and fastboot for Mac OS X. I also attached an 'Android-ALL' archive that also contains adb and fastboot for Linux and Windows but I am not sure if it works. Also download the latest .img file from here (it's TWRP) and put it in the same folder.
[*]Now we should unlock the boot loader. Fortunately there is an app on the Play Store which will do just that for you. Install it from here.
Open it, click 'Check ROOT Acces', click 'Huawei U8951 Bootloader unlock'.
The device will restart in a bit and you will see some kind of a chinese logo, ignore it.
[*]Now that we have the phone rooted and the bootloader is unlocked we can flash a custom recovery.
Put your phone in fastboot.
Shutdown your phone.
Take the battery off, wait ~10 seconds.
Put the battery&cover back in.
Press 'VOL -' and 'Power' at the same time for ~ 10 seconds.
Open terminal, do 'cd <the android folder location>' (i.e /Users/flyingpotatoes/Desktop/android).
Type './fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', recovery.img being your version of TWRP.
Wait until it says that it is done and then do './fastboot reboot'.
[*]Let's put a custom rom.
Download your CUSTOM ROM and put it on your sdcard.
Repeat 1.10 but replace 'VOL -' with 'VOL +' (from 1.10.4).
You should now be in TWRP recovery.
Go to Wipe and Swipe to Factory Reset.
Go back, go to Install -> *your custom ROM*.zip -> Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot.
[*]Enjoy your rooted G510!

Samsung SM-J105F root

can somebody with a recovery that I can mode to run on my phone help? I am tired of using 360root.apk I want to use SuperSU and not these apps with Chinese interface

Here are the steps I followed after some extensive reading of other peoples methods and trying every possible app that would not work:
How to install TWRP and root the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (SM-J105F)
The device is powered by a Spreadtrum chipsets and Android 5.1.1
Basically what you need to do to root your Samsung, is to install/flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, which other than the limited functions of the OEM recovery, has all the features you need to flash a custom rom. You then boot into this TWRP recovery and use the touch menu to install/flash the SuperSu xx.zip file to give you root. It seems that other methods to root do not work on this specific phone.
Here is an Odin3 flashable *.tar md5 TWRP file that will also make it possible to root your Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J105F, unfortunately it has to be paid for. Find it here: http://www.saroms.co.za/product/samsung-galaxy-j1-mini-j105f-root-file/ - and follow the bellow steps to flash the TWRP custom recovery and after rooting your J105F Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini.
Note: Odin3 only flashes with xxxx.tar or xxxx.tar.md5 files. TWRP can also flash xxxx.zip files.
To get into Odin mode or Download mode on the phone, switch off phone and unplug any cable to your PC or charger. Now hold in the Home button, the lower part of the volume button (V-) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot into a recovery screen and if you push the top part of the volume button (V+) you will switch to the Download screen. Only now can you plug your phone into the PC and run Odin3
Once TWRP recovery has been loaded, do the following to boot into TWRP recovery: Disconnect any cables to charger or PC. Switch off the phone. Now hold in the Home button, the upper part of the volume button (V+) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot showing the Teamwin screen and then the menu buttons which work from the touchscreen.
If you do not want to pay for the correct TWRP recovery for your specific device, then use Google to search for the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar
1. Download the following files:
(i) OEM Samsung firmware for your phone in case you have to fall back and reinstall the firmware i.e.
XFV-J105FXXU0AQA3-20170329071250.zip
(ii) TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar or any other custom TWRP recovery file for your model phone.
(iii) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
2. Go to Settings > About device > Software Info > and tap on Build number a few times until you are a developer.
3. You should now see and tap on 'Developer options' if you go back to Settings.
4. In Developer options. turn on 'OEM Unlock' by moving the slider to the right, Enable. Never set that setting to off once you have loaded a custom firmware or TWRP custom recovery! You phone will brick and only show *“Custom binary blocked by FRP lock” after the next reboot!! (FRP = Factory Reset Protection)
* If so install OEM firmware with Odin3 and start again.
5. Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip file to the root of your internal storage SD card (not external). This will be installed by using TWRP recovery. Use your PC to do this.
6. Turn the device off and boot into "Download Mode” (V- and Home and Power ... and then V+)
7. Run the Odin3 application on your PC and load the recovery *.md5 file under 'AP' or load the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar.
8. Connect the MS-J105f to your PC and let Odin3 connect and ID:COM will go blue and show i.e. 0 : (COM4) > then click Start.
9. The SM-J105F will power on when done. Disconnect cable and power it off again.
10. Boot into recovery (V+ and Home and Power) will now boot into TWRP.
11. You will now see the TWRP menu touch screen.
12. Tap Install > scroll to the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip" file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory tap it.
13. Swipe at the bottom slider to confirm install.
14. Tap Reboot to system when done and you should be rooted.
15. Install and run SuperSU from the app store and run.
16. Install and run Root Checker Basic.
To reinstall the OEM firmware, download the proper xxxx.zip from the Samsung website.
You must the extract the xxx.tar.MD5 file from the download
If you can get into the Download screen on your SM-J105F then use Odin3 as above, just under PA select the OEM file xxxx.tar.MD5 (it takes a short while to select properly as it a very large 2 gb file after extracting)
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks to all whose posts and contributions helped me.

Notes:
Before you get started, you will need access to Developer options. Got to About phone on Settings and click on your Build number till you get a notification stating that you've gained access to this options.
After that, enable both OEM unlocking and USB debugging to unlock the bootloader and gain permission to transfer downloaded files from your PC to your phone via the charging cable.
If your software firmware is 6.0.1-01003, don't update your system to be safe since that I haven't tested installing TWRP on a updated firmware.
Tutorial:
To get started, you will need to download this .img file which contains a flashable TWRP 3.0.2-0 that is unofficially supported for the Alcatel Pop 4 and import it to your device.
https-://uplo.adfi.l.es.io/x.9h.18
In order to flash the TWRP .img image, you will need to gain access to temporary root and in order to do that, you'll need to install KingRoot. To install it, enable Unknown sources if disabled then visit the site below to download and install it.
https-://kingroot.net/
You should see something like this.
https-://ufile.io/491p5
Download SuperSU's Latest .ZIP file below (Should be V2.82 as of 21/08/17)
s.upersu.com/download
Its normal if your phone reboots during the process. Just make sure that you quickly unlock your phone and return to KingRoot to continue the process after your device has rebooted.
After you have successfully rooted your phone, you will need to install Flashify in order to flash the TWRP image I provided you with. The link to install Flashify is below.
https-://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Since that the temporary root that came with KingRoot is very unstable with the Pop 4, be very gentle navigating through the phone for the time being or your device may reboot and you will need to reroot with KingRoot again.
Open the Flashify app, grant root permissions, go to Recovery image then click on choose a file. After that find the downloaded TWRP that I provided you with, click and it and select YUM! (Meaning yes) to flash TWRP. After it has flashed TWRP, it should give you the option to reboot into TWRP.
Once your booted into TWRP, swipe right to gain access to read and write privileges and make sure you check the box above so you don't have to do that again.
Click Wipe, Format Data then enter "yes" without the quotations of course then press the blue button on the bottom right of the on screen keyboard to format the device.
After the device is formatted go back instead of rebooting, press the on screen back button then install and find the SuperSU .ZIP you've downloaded then swipe right to flash. After flashed, clear cache then reboot.
After it has rebooted, set up the device as if it was new then after set up you should see that you've got SuperSU in your app list.
To access TWRP in the future, hold power button and up volume button till TWRP boot screen loads up.
I will upload a test video showing me using my rooted Pop 4 soon.
I have edited the links so they wouldn't be detected by xda since i'm not allowed to post any links as of right now since i'm using a new account.

How I installed madOS (Oreo 8.1) on BLU Life One X (2016)

I finally succeeded it, after literally months of trial and error! So, I am writing this post in hope that someone who wants to install Oreo on Life One X in the future would find this post through Google search.
Here are the steps.
0. From this page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-official-mados-wiko-fever-clones-t3762800), download the TWRP recovery and the madOS Oreo ROM.
1. Download the BLUEFEVER ROM from this page (https://www.npcglib.org/~stathis/blog/2016/04/13/turned-blu-life-one-x-wiko-fever-4g/).
2. Download the SP Flash Tool from the page above or through Google search. The version I used was 5.1812, which seemed to be the latest version.
3. Download the Universal ROM from this page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/flashable-wiko-fever-stock-marshmallow-t3720484)
4. The critical things is you should not flash the Universal ROM as it is, because that bricked my One X. You need to copy "preloader_l5460.bin" and "secro.img" from BLUEFEVER in step 1 and overwrite them to the Universal ROM.
5. You need to install the Mediatek Driver. I used "MT65XX USB VCOM" driver. I found it using Google search, but forgot where I got it from. But with that name, I think you can find it.
6. Now start the Flash Tool, and and select the download agent in the Flash Tool directory (MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin), and select the scatter file in the Universal rom (MMX BLU), and then select "Format all + Download". Then, this is very important, press the download button BEFORE connecting the phone, otherwise it will not work.
7. Now, turn off the phone (I mean, power off, not just screen off) and then connect it to the PC. If the tool does not recognise the phone, press volume up + down at the same time when you connect it until the device connected sound comes from Windows.
8. Now the tool flashs the rom. Wait. It may take a few minutes.
9. If it is bricked, just leave it for a month until the battery drains and completely turns off, and then try flashing again.
10. Now, boot up the phone, go to Settings -> About and hit the build number several times to enable the developer menu.
11. In the developer menu, enable OEM unlocking.
12. Now, install the Google USB Driver. This can be easily found through a Google search. You need to get the "platform-tools" directory of the Android SDK, which can also be easily found.
13. Now, turn off the phone, and hold volume up + power button. The phone shows tiny menu (really tiny...). The first is recovery, the second is fast boot, and the third is normal. Choose fast boot. Type "fastboot oem unlock". You need to press the volume up button on the phone now.
14. Now the phone is unlocked. Type "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp_wiko_fever_oreo.img" to flash the recovery.
15. Restart in the recovery using the 13th step.
16. Go to Wipe -> Format data and format the data, otherwise the recovery will not recognise the storage and will not boot.
17. Go to Open Gapps and get ARM64, 8.1, micro. Editions above micro will NOT install with an error message that says insufficient storage.
18. Now connect the phone to the PC. The TWRP recovery automatically mounts the storage to the PC so that you can copy files into it. Copy the mad OS rom ZIP from step 0 and the OpenGapps from step 17.
19. Flash the two using the install menu of TWRP.
20. Done.
I do not use One X as a phone, so I skipped the radio flashing steps. It currently shows the baseband is unknown. If you want to use the phone feature, I think you need to flash the radio img or something using the instructions somewhere in the linked posts.
