i think this only works on iq6A

do you already own this phone?

Cherry mobile Omega HD info states that its a dual core phone while all info about i-mobile IQ6 states its a single core phone. does anyone know which mediatek chipset the Omega HD uses? It's GPU?

yes i had it

How?
How can we flash the CWM to the Omega HD if you don't even give us a flashtool? Is this Rooting process tested? is it working?

Please help me

How to Backup the phone
just bought the phone yesterday
do yo guys know how to back up this jellybean phone?

Hey guys, if you have FB we have a group with most of oHD users. Just search "CherryMobileOmegaHD" in FB (can't post links yet. sorry)
There are custom roms in the group, the usual rom cooked from dsdixda's kitchen (zipalign, deodexed, rm bloatwares)
@cyzarine
What do you mean with backup? We have the stock rom in the group, you might want to check it out.

Bummer! I'm stuck at step 3!
You will see that RECOVERY has a check beside it. Click on "Download." A warning will appear, proceed anyway.

-- umm... NO, I DON'T!! There must be a step that's missing... :-S
edit:
nevermind. I forgot to rename TWRP file to "recovery"
Thanks for this!

anyone have a kernel that have oc"?

In need...
Woke up to a drained Omega HD today.
Plugged it in to have it charged.
Switched it on afterwards.
"OmegaHD" flashed before my eyes, followed by a blank screen with the familiar Cherry Mobile tune playing on the background. And then nothing! NO DISPLAY! I touch the screen and there are sounds playing to confirm each press, which means I am pressing on the right places -- only that there is NO DISPLAY APPEARING.
I switch it on and off, still the same results.
Wiped cache. Nothing... Since it's practically new, I go ahead and factory-restore the thing... still the same results. NO DISPLAY! :-S
What else can I do to this device to have it work properly?!

Have you installed any custom rom or any other zip files with your phone?

I am glad to see first person who rooted with the help of my tutorial and files. That also confirms the steps are perfect. Actually worked for me so should work for all. Thanks a lot for your faith and trust in me. Will be around for more developement and roms.

Success!
]I have rooted by iberry-auxus note 5.5 as per your guidance.
But the USB DRIVER not correctly installed.
I have updated the driver through device manager
My operating system is windows 7 ultimate x64
Everything went smooth as you instructed
Thank you for developing this guide to root the model.
:victory:
The USB DRIVERS can be downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180436

Using the note for about 2weeks. Rooted successfully. Titanium backup is not working properly. Any solution for it.
Also the network refresh is poor. So network switching is very slow and many times have to manually do refresh or reboot.

latest twrp recovery
while browsing through elephone p2000 thread I came across this link which gives the latest twrp recovery
http://n2k1.com/n2k1/ELEPHONE_P2000/
Downloaded the 8.77 MB file flashed the recovery file alone through sp flash tools
Working fine on our auxus 5.5 note.

flashing the preloader is not necessary though is it?

Yes it is not necessary

I am not sure if above USB driver is useful or not. But when you connect MT6592 Phone to PC without Battery, the PC shows a box with
"Searching drivers for YunOS system"
and if Internet is connected , it will download a tiny driver automatically from Microsoft site for Chinese Mobile Phones and an entry in Device Manager appears like
"YunOS ACB Interface"
Now Flashing Tool will automatically connect your phone to pc on next available COM PORT (COM3 or COM4 etc.)
So it is not USB Driver. It needs YunOS ACB Driver. You can find it separately somewhere on net, if searched.

No, Preloader is not necessary but in case it is wiped or corrupted, its good to flash the original provided by company makers. I have included all Preloaders directly from respective company stock roms

Seems drivers are not properly installed. These are new drivers by iBerry.
1) Uninstall any android driver you installed before from ControlPanel/Programs. Reboot/Restart PC/Laptop
2) Install this USB Preloader Driver http://d-h.st/kcH (from iBerry)
3) Then Install this SPFlashtool Driver http://d-h.st/vRd (from iBerry)
4) Reboot PC/Laptop/Computer , Keep pc connected to Internet on all the time. DO NOT yet connect phone to pc.
5) After computer restarts Run SPFT "flash_tool.exe" and press DOWNLOAD button
6) Now connect phone (without battery) to pc. Let windows install drivers, then flashing will start in less than 5 min. Dont wait for hours.
Hope this helps and inform if works.
PS: For GOD's sake do not quote whole opening post in your queries. Do you want me to read my own thread? Hope you have read XDA basic terms and conditions.

Rooted!

Thank You, I managed to root my phone with your help Mahendra. Also, my apologies for quoting the whole post. I suppose it needs editing including driver links. I also removed SIM card from the phone before rooting.
Rooting apart, I wanted to ask if there are any advantages/differences by installing your ROM? Can I not create a ROM by taking a complete image of my current phone's state? I was thinking about Xposed Framework. Not sure but your advice would really help.
Finally, I was wondering if there are any good flip cases available online. The local stores do not have any for this brand and model as it's fairly new in the market. The one from iBerry is Rs 990 which I think is unreasonable. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Also, is there a way to light up the soft buttons?
Thank You and keep up the good work.

Is there any chance of there being a cm11 port on this phone?
I don't like the icon size on the stock ROM and Titanium Backup doesn't work

I dont use or recommend Xposed FW. You can use as per your requirement. Works fine.
This is rooting tutorial. I will be happy if you stick to the rooting related questions in this thread from next time. A little XDA terms and conditions page will help a bit to you and us.
Yes, flip cover by iBerry is costly and even I am also looking for low-cost option.

For icons size to change use any other launcher, like google now or nova or any other you want.
Move Titanium App to internal memory or install Link2SD, check settings and then install Titanium Backup. plz google for more info on titanium.

For titanium backup issues try super user app by Koushik Dutta (flashable zip file link is available in play store). First uninstall super su from the application itself. Then install super user through recovery. Ignore the warning regarding su binary.

It worked for me. Just take a nandroid backup of your current rom before giving a try.

CUBOT S200 root guide

CUBOT S200 root guide
Introduction
After a couple of months of searching for information, failing to get correct instructions from the seller and trying all available and often shady one-click root programs, I have finally successfully rooted my CUBOT S200 device.
In fact, all thanks go to rfax from this spanish forum:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/cubot-s200-root-y-recovery.93358/
The point of my post is to provide the same information in english and here, on the most widely read forum, xda-developers.com.
Before giving any instructions, I feel like I have to caution anyone trying this that I can accept no responsability for anything happening to your smartphone, as a result of following this guide. You are on your own and neither me nor anyone else is responsible for any damage, job loss, broken relationship, death or mass destruction
Also, make sure you BACKUP whatever you don't want to lose!
This rooting process should not result in any data loss, but it's always a good idea to BACKUP your stuff. So, if you have data on your phone for which you have no BACKUP, this is just a good opportunity to BACK IT UP.
Although it may seem obvious to some, please read the ENTIRE guide, BEFORE actually doing anything. This will allow you to have a general idea of the procedure and plan your steps.
Preparation
The hardware you are going to need is:
CUBOT S200 android smartphone (duh)
Windows PC
USB-microUSB data cable
My desktop machine is on linux, so in order to root my CUBOT S200, I used a Windows 7 netbook. I am pretty sure any Windows PC should do, but you definitely need a Windows machine for these instructions.
I have not even looked into the existence of an equivalent tool for linux or mac. If anyone has any information, please share and I would be glad to update the guide accordingly.
Here is a list of the software I used:
SP Flash Tools v5.1408.00
download here [RAR]
SuperSU
download here
You can find information about the latest version here
Recovery
download here
Drivers
download here
You should unzip/unrar all files, except for the SuperSU. Just keep the SuperSU zip file. It should be copied to the phone, either the internal memory or the external SD, if available. Just to be sure, I would recommend that you copy it to both locations. You can always delete it after you are done rooting the S200.
Inside the drivers zip file there is a folder and another folder inside it with a ...3rd folder in it and two executables, install & uninstall. The install is the one you will be using.
If you already have the required drivers installed, you can ignore these. If SP Flash Tool cannot proceed with the "download" as it calls it, then you need the drivers. More on that in the steps below.
Instructions
Overview
You will flash the Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery image to your phone using the SP Flash Tool.
You will then boot your phone into recovery and install the SuperSU program from the zip file.
That's it, just reboot and you have a rooted CUBOT S200!
Remember to BACKUP any data you have not already BACKED UP, or carelessly ignore this message, root your phone without any problems and then a few days or weeks later lose stuff for any unrelated reason and bang your head against a wall for not having seized this opportunity to BACKUP your sh*t.
Here goes:
Step 1
1. Make sure you have the SuperSU zip file. DO NOT UNZIP. If you downloaded from the link provided, the file should be named UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
2. Copy this file to you S200. If you have a SD card, copy to both the SD card and the internal memory, so you can definitely find it in the recovery.
Step 2
1. Power off your phone
2. Remove the battery
Step 3
Make sure you have unzipped the Recovery. There should be a folder named "Recovery CWM" inside, including 2 files: MT6582_Android_scatter.txt and recovery.img
Step 4
1. Make sure you have downloaded and unrared the SP Flash Tool. You should have a folder named SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00
2. Run the tool, it should be a file named flash_tool.exe
3. Click on the button Scatter-loading
4. Find the folder Recovery CWM from step 3 and choose the file MT6582_Android_scatter.txt. Make sure only RECOVERY is checked.

6. Put the battery in your phone. DO NOT TURN ON your phone
7. Connect your phone to the PC with the USB cable. DO NOT TURN ON your phone

Step 6
1. Press and hold down your phone's Volume Up button. DO NOT LET GO
2. Without letting go the vol+, press and hold down the Power button. Hold BOTH buttons down
3. The white CUBOT startup screen will appear and a few seconds later the phone will enter the CWM recovery mode. Now you can let go both buttons
(not the exact things you will see, just for illustration)
4. Using the Vol+/- buttons, choose Install zip from sdcard. Click the power button
5. Then Choose zip from sdcard
6. Find the SuperSU zip that you copied to your phone in step 1 and confirm with the power button
7. Choose Yes - Install
8. Once SuperSU is successfully installed, you will be back at the first screen. Choose Reboot system now
Step 7
Not really a step. Your phone should reboot (don't hold down any buttons) and you should now have root access!
Enjoy!

CUBOT S200 root guide
Introduction
After a couple of months of searching for information, failing to get correct instructions from the seller and trying all available and often shady one-click root programs, I have finally successfully rooted my CUBOT S200 device.
In fact, all thanks go to rfax from this spanish forum:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/cubot-s200-root-y-recovery.93358/
The point of my post is to provide the same information in english and here, on the most wide read forum, xda-developers.com.
Before giving any instructions, I feel like I have to caution anyone trying this that I can accept no responsability for anything happening to your smartphone, as a result of following guide. You are on your own and neither me nor anyone else is responsible for any damage, job loss, broken relationship, death or mass destruction
Also, make sure you BACKUP whatever you don't want to lose!
This rooting process should not result in any data loss, but it's always a good idea to BACKUP your stuff. So, if you have data on your phone for which you have no BACKUP, this is just a good opportunity to BACK IT UP.
Although it may seem obvious to some, please read the ENTIRE guide, BEFORE actually doing anything. This will allow you to have a general idea of the procedure and plan your steps.
Preparation
The hardware you are going to need is:
CUBOT S200 android smartphone (duh)
Windows PC
USB-microUSB data cable
My desktop machine is on linux, so in order to root my CUBOT S200, I used a Windows 7 netbook. I am pretty sure any Windows PC should do, but you definitely need a Windows machine for these instructions.
I have not even looked into the existence of an equivalent tool for linux or mac. If anyone has any information, please share and I would be glad to update the guide accordingly.
Here is a list of the software I used:
SP Flash Tools v5.1408.00
download here [RAR]
SuperSU
download here
You can find information about the latest version here
Recovery
download here
Drivers
download here
You should unzip/unrar all files, except for the SuperSU. Just keep the SuperSU zip file. It should be copied to the phone, either the internal memory or the external SD, if available. Just to be sure, I would recommend that you copy it to both locations. You can always delete it after you are done rooting the S200.
Inside the drivers zip file there is a folder and another folder inside it with a ...3rd folder in it and two executables, install & uninstall. The install is the one you will be using.
If you already have the required drivers installed, you can ignore these. If SP Flash Tool cannot proceed with the "download" as it calls it, then you need the drivers. More on that in the steps below.

In the Recovery zip you downloaded (see link in guide), there is also a folder Recovery Original.
In there you can find another scatter file, also named MT6582_Android_scatter.txt.
Flash this one and you should get the original recovery back.
Please, make sure you follow all the steps very carefully. Again, I know that people have followed this guide with success in the spanish site and I have done so too.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for sharing.

Working now!

Maybe the drivers are not successfully installed. Try rebooting your computer and/or installing the drivers again.

Windows 10 drivers
First of all, thanks gor the great guide! I am now rooted.:good:
I did run into a problem with the drivers though. They don't work with Windows10. After looking around a bit I found a great guide with drivers that did work.
Here's the link.

Custom ROM for Cubot S200
Hi Panda2005.
Thanks for excellent post on rooting the S200.
I have tried several rooting tools and they all failed for one reason or another and your method worked first time.
I am new to Android and find it a little confusing compared with Windows but I am learning!
My question is can you recommend a custom ROM suitable for the S200?
Thanks again.

I am glad you managed to root your phone.
Actually, I have never tried any custom ROMs, so unfortunately I could not recommend any.
I have since bought a new phone, so I have not played with the S200 in over a year. A friend of mine has borrowed it, but he has not looked for custom ROMs either.
If you find/try any cool ones, feel free to let me know here.
Good luck!

Re Cubot s200
Hi Panda 2005,
Yes I too have come to the conclusion that the S200 does not have a big enough following in order to warrant much interest from the techies capable of creating such ROMs.
As a matter of interest can you recommend a phone with plenty of ROMs available for experimentation?
I have been looking at a second hand Samsung S4. Not too expensive if I brick it!

Sorry, I have not dabbled with custom ROMs in a few years, not since I had a ZTE Skate Acqua. Good times!

[Guide] How to Root Cube T8 Plus

Hi
I found a russian site how to root the Cube T8 Plus h**p://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t695306.html. Here a short translation:
Disclaimer: ******* I'm not responsible for any damages *******
1. Download SuperSu directly to your Cube T8 from official site: h**p://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Download Flash Utility/Driver on your PC: h**p://uploaded.net/file/eyo5yt8c
3. Download TWRP for Cube T8 on your PC: h**p://uploaded.net/file/o54jinin and extract its content to a folder.
Mirror: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...ourcekey=0-11J8nUVn2_sUUAPHA9kwWg&usp=sharing
4. Install Device Driver from Step 2. on your PC (you have to agree Security warning). Depending on Windows version used, disabling Driver Signing might be required prior installation.
5. Start flash_tool.exe
6. Go to "Download" tab and Click "Scatter-Loading" Button, move to folder created in Step 3. and select the file "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt". Press the "Download" Button
7. Power down your Cube T8 tablet. After power down, connect it to a USB Port on your PC (No, you don't need to power it up - leave it powered down!). After a few moments, the flash tool should recognise the tablet and will install twrp recovery and should show "Success" Screen
8. Remove tablet from PC. Boot into Boot Selection by pressing Volume-Up and Power button simultaneously, Select "Recovery" and wait for twrp booting up.
9. In twrp, Install Zip File downloaded on Step 1. This should be found in Folder "MyFavorite"
10. Reboot device. By selecting "Reboot" in twrp, the device will hang. But don't worry; just press the power button for about 10 seconds for a forced reboot.
11. Voilà, you have a rooted Cube T8 Plus

Thanks for the guide. Can you provide more mirror? Uploaded is currently blocked in my country. Google Drive would be sweet.
Thanks.

Anybody tried this?

It works perfectly, but I had to disable the driver's signature check.
Now I just need the modified scatter file to get a better memory repartition. These russian guys on pda.ru found out how to repartition the memory, but the file is now disappeared from internet http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=695306&st=560#entry44767726

Yes !
it worked for me but i didnt succeed in installing the right driver (package given in this post was correctly installed) for tablet in off mode,
so i had to force download of recovery and if SuperSU install (with error) when i launch it it warn for binary installation.
but root is effective and i can now use soft like adaway or else that need complete root access :victory:

That's weird, it worked flawlessly for me.
By the way, the internal 2 GB storage is way to small for me, I need a bigger partition and since the 4pda guys deleted their scatter files, I'm trying to create it by myself following this guide, I hope to not mess up things
Ok, I found the scatter editor (that was deleted too). Here you can download it. OP, if you want, you can add it in the guide.

Thanks for your feedback and your work Dyonysus, i assume all errors was consecutive to Kingroot installation (he didn't succeed in rooting but i left it installed when i flashed the recovery as i checked sometmes if a root policy was avaible)

This root guide can be used for Cube T8 also?

I also confirm this method works perfectly. Good job finding this.

So, have you succeeded in repartitioning the internal memory? If yes, did you face any issues or errors in the process and is the device stable and working as fast afterwards?

Unfortunately I didn't. I got a bunch of problems tryin' to forge the new scatter file and, when I finally got a decent one, the damn tool didn't flash it properly.
If someone could find those two files or just ask those russian guys to upload them again, it'd be terrific.

Hi,
This post is a subject to change (grow), since I will keep it as a record for my tips for this fine tablet.
Installation of TWRP recovery and increasing /data partition (YES! That's possible)
I've succeeded getting TWRP, root and larger /data partition, so after screenshot I'll put detailed how-to. Sorry for duplicating first post, but I'd like to have everything in one place in the way I exactly did it.
Warning: this method seems to be blocked in some newer OS updates, see this post for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64801688&postcount=25

You need SD card for that.
Cube T8 Plus TWRP and root:
1. Download SuperSu and copy it to the root of SD card (without extracting): http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Downlad Utility/Driver to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/eyo5yt8c
3. Download Cube T8 TWRP recovery to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/o54jinin and unpack.
4. Install driver on PC. Depending on Windows version, if the driver installation fails, it may be necessary to disable signature check (google for that).
5. Run flash_tool (downloaded in step 2). If it doesn't run, try copy it to the root folder of your hard drive, eg. C:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\, albo D:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\
6. In "Download" section choose "Scatter-Loading" point to "MT6753_Android_scatter" from /Recovery (downloaded in step 3), press "Download" button.
7. Turn off the tablet. Connect it via USB to PC (tablet needs to be switched off!). After short while, flashing tool should recognize the tablet and start flashing automatically, installing TWRP recovery. After that you should get "Success" screen.
8. Disconnect tablet from PC. Run it in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
9. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
10. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "/external sd/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"
11. After installation is finished, choose "Reboot". Recovery will hang, but do not fear Press Power for 10s to force turn off. Then turn on the tablet.
Your tablet is now rooted!
Change partition size:
1. Download and copy to the root of SD (without extracting) Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip: (take attachment from the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-how-to-resize-data-internal-t3180978/ )
2. Run the tablet in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
3. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
4. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "external sd/Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip""
5. In one of following windows choose the partition size. I recommend between 8GB and 10GB. WARNING: If you choose less than the current size, you may loose your data. More than or equal to 8GB is a safe value.
Enabling Multiuser accounts:
1. The device must be rooted
2. Use any root explorer to edit /system/build.prop.
3. Add to the end of a file:
Code:
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5
4. Reboot
Info: After first try to swich to guest the device force rebooted, but then it worked well.
Disabling killing background apps
If you encounter situation in which apps are being killed right after they are put to background (each application switch using recent apps causes application reinitialization), just make sure that Developer Options/Apps/Don't keep activities is switched off!
Permamently disabling pre-installed chinese apps (they will not reappear after full reboot)
There are 6 chinese apps pre-installed, which can be easily disabled. You can try to simply uninstall them, but you'll find that after full reboot they reappear.
So the best way to disable them is to use any root explorer and get rid APKs in /system/vendor/operator/app. I myself renamed app folder to app.old. They do not appear anymore.
What to do if tablet seems to be dead (black screen - no reaction), but it just misbehaves
Couple of times I've had a situation in which the screen was blank and I couldn't wake up the device. I could however run recovery, so the first time I performed reset from recovery and it helped.
Next time I found out that it's automatic brightness that fails and causes the screen to go blank. So the solution is to press power button, make a swipe gesture from the top to show brightness slider (you will not see it, but it works even on the lockscreen), and try to blindly press this slider. It should be about 2,7 cm (1,06 inch) from the top, with ca. 3cm (1,2 inch) margins on the left and right. Then stop using autobrightness with slider set to zero.

Thanks a ton
Amazing , followed your instructions and my tablet is now rooted and also has 9+GB of data partition. Thanks a ton.. Keep up the good work.
--Rao:

after using the resize script it not remount the partition and android not start. Android ask for a password to "decrypt data" but the problem is that the partition is missing.
Any suggest about this?
thanks
For the moment i can resize partition up to 6 gb using a edited scatter file

Please can I use this safely on the original Cube T8?

I've taken the link from the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-how-to-resize-data-internal-t3180978/ - see attached files, to get a correct link. I wouldn't reupload this. It looks like x-d is rotating attachment links.
Please edit your quotation so it does not contain wrong link.

[root] ulefone armor 2 - easy rooting procedure [SUPERSU]

Hello mates! What a heck of a problem rooting this fancy brick, right? Not anymore ! The guides available in here are very confusing and lack of simple information. I'm just trying to help.
Special thanks goes to sumec100 who made me into the first steps of this process.
Rooting the Brick
*What will you need in a first moment:
- SDK MANAGER AND PLATAFORM TOOLS ONLY https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads *end of the page, 132mb archive* (Plataform-tools is attached in case you can't find it)
- SuperSU: https://mega.nz/#!t2wGDbhL!H07JxlbmLH2tFQD7Frx2BKlJp0AyDthXkbEj6sw4z08 (this one worked out) (Leave it in your SD Card before start the process)
- TWRP ported by Jemmini from 4pda and translated to English by TuksOID. : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Uwkl_2vqHfXkbLGmF-gKbs63UxVKmw_T
- ADB Driver Installer: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
- ARMOR 2 Latest Drivers: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8NC4kBpjQhYdDNhdzdUdTRsRFE&usp=sharing
0) Go into your Ulefone Armor 2.
Settings >About phone > Tap ''build number'' 8 times until you see ''now you are a developer''.
Developer options> OEM unlocking (yes) >USB Debugging (Yes)
After all drivers are installed in Driver_Auto_Installer you downloaded from ulefone.com keep ADB Driver Installer open and plug in your phone on your PC. It will auto detects your MediaTek device. Just click ''Install'' wait until it finishes and close it. Now you are properly connected to your phone.
1) Open ''cmd.exe'' as an administrator.
Type: cd (path you unziped plataform-tools inside SDK tools folder) kind of looking like this: ''X:YOUR PATH\tools\platform-tools''
Put the recovery image you downloaded (I suggest you to rename it as ''recovery'') in ''plataform-tools''
2) Back to the cmd in the way you leaved it do it:
adb reboot bootloader Press Enter. The phone will reboot in fastboot mode. (I suppose you did not shut it down, please don't)
fastboot flashing unlock Press Enter. The phone will prompt you. Read the content of the text if you want. To keep going press ''Volume Up'' DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img Press Enter. Now the TWRP will be flashed. Note that I used ''recovery'' as file name.
After the successful flash:
fastboot boot recovery.img Press Enter. TWRP will now start.
3) Unplug your phone.
Your TWRP will show a ''Enter Code'' prompt since your device stills encrypted. Press ''Cancel''
Drag the bar to allow modifications;
Press ''Wipe'' in the main menu;
Drag the bar to do a Factory Reset (THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL);
Press ''Install'';
Select the SuperSU file you downloaded in the above. (I hope you copied it in your SDCard. If you did not, You can plug your phone in your PC, mount your Storage via TWRP, copy the zip file and keep going);
Drag the bar to flash SuperSU zip file (DO NOT select any parameters)
Press ''Wipe Dalvik/Cache''
Press ''Reboot System''
Wait for it.
If you had a successful boot, now your device is rooted. Cheers !
Did your device don't boot in 15 minutes? I'm quite sure you messed up but keep calm, don't panic!
Unbricking the brick
*What will you need:
SPFlashtool: https://spflashtools.com/windows/sp-flash-tool-v5-1728
Latest Ulefone Armor 2 ROM: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8NC4kBpjQhYdEJTdTdpazVGQjg
The software is quite of auto-explained. Please, Do not use the Ulefone's SPFlashtool, use the one I provided. (I DID NOT CREATE IT)
Shut off your phone
In SPFlashtool set the ''scatter-loading file'' inside the ROM zip, Click ''choose'' and locate it.
Keep it ''Download Only''
Click ''Download'', SPFlashtool will be waiting for your device. (REMEMBER YOU NEED THE DRIVERS I QUOTED ABOVE FOR ALL PROCESSES)
Plug your phone.
Wait until SPFlashtool say it is finished.
[*]After that your phone is brand new. If you want to try again just go up and follow all steps again (Correcting mistakes, of course)
Known Issues
-Latest Magisk is not working with our Stock ROM. It bootloops.
-Latest Nougat Xposed Module Bootloops our phone too.
Any doubts or corrections please, say it !

The download doesn't contain the platform tools anymore. They have been moved into an extra download:
developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Funny thing: I can't quote links because of new account oO

Have you tried the new ROM that came out last month on needrom?

Hi,
Thank you for your work
but I could not find the platform tools 132mb archive in the link you provided.
The only download link close to 132mb is the 149mb I found.
Is this the file you were referring to?

No, I did not. I'm not messing with this system anymore (not enough time ) since I made my last format and root I decided to not try anything else since he is my daily driver and I need it workin 24/7

That's right ! Inside this zip and inside sdk tools folder it should be a plataform-tools folder. If not, tell me !

Hi,
I have flashed successful the latest Ulefone Armor 2 Firmware from their site h**p://ulefone.com/download/armor2.html
Then I did all the necessary steps to root the phone. But when I first time start the SuperSU app, get a popup message "SuperSU needs to update"
and hit "OK". After a while get this failure:
"SU Update unsuccessful"
Regards...

After install SuperSu and press "Reboot System", my phone keeps booting into TWRP.
Can someone help me?

Fixed. I restored my original ROM using this this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74294320&postcount=31
Now, Super SU is installed but is asking for update.

Hi all,
I managed to root my Armor 2 but after that I cannot install Netflix from Play Store. It says that device is not compatible.
Does anyone know if the app is restricted to rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

flashed the wrong recovery now stuck ( I used "one click" program )
phone constantly restarts and gives the following error
"
orange
state your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted your device
will boot in 5 seconds
"
the following video is someone else who has the same problem as me
( I didn't have a camera, so I used another video)
I can't do "fastboot and recovery" in any way. Always gives me this error

The best way to root armor 2
1) copy boot-verified.img from firmware folder to internal
2) install magisk
3) download any update in magisk
4) press install and select "select and patch a file"
5)select boot-verified. Img
6)after operation comlate copy magisk-patch. Img file in download folder to pc
7)flash it with sp flash tool
