[ROOT + TWRP 3.1-0] Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 - Android General

UPDATED THREAD
Hey, guys. So here it is:
ROOT + TWRP
Smart Ultra 7 ONLY !
NEW TWRP VERSION: 3.1-0
_____________________________________________________
HOW TO ROOT ? :
This nethod will break OTA, so for update you must use SUGAR.
1) Download TWRP and SPFT from my PAGE and place it on desktop.
2) Download these files and put them on your SD CARD: SuperSU_1 and SuperSU_2
3) Turn off your phone and run SP FLASH TOOL.
3) When the SP FLASH TOOL starts, select MT6755 scatter file and MTK_AllinOne_DA.bin file (they are in SPFT folder)
4) Select ONLY recovery and load the TWRP_3.X.X file. (X.X means a version of TWRP)
5) Press download.
6) Connect your powered off phone to PC via USB cable.
7) After flashing the TWRP, hold VOLUME UP + POWER to boot into TWRP.
8) In TWRP press "INSTALL" and flash the boot patch - SUPERSU_1 and then flash root - SUPERSU_2.
9) Reboot and enjoy.

KingRoot Fidelity
Is it safe to root with KingRoot? Have been trying to figure out the best way root this phone for two weeks now, and trying to avoid KingRoot all this time.
Can you replace the KingRoot Binaries and Root Management Tools with the SuperSU ones?
Will Xposed Framework work on this phone? Really want AdAway, Greenify and Xposed Tweaks on the Vodafone Smart Ultra 7.
Thanks!

You can replace kingroot with supersu thanks to this app:
http://download.dlapk.org/?apkid=darkslide.com.supersume&ver=6.7&server=snah
I did not try the xposed yet.
But it should work properly.

Thanks for the reply,
I still feel skeptical about KingRoot, and there are reports that indicate that replacing KingRoot with SuperSU isn't that easy either, KingRoot seems to completely deny root once altered or removed, which makes it look even more shady, I really want root on this phone, there are tweaks I would love to do such as dpi change, remove the vodafone label on the statusbar and more, but I don't know if I'm willing to use KingRoot in the process. I'm used to SuperSU and Xposed Framework working flawlessly, so I'm really 'scared' on this one.
Thanks

Root. After enabling USB debugging and unknown sources, I click "try to root" and then get the "Failed to root" screen

I guess we'll have to wait for further development on the phone, I won't put my phone trough KingRoot, and you even reported that it isn't working for you... oh well.
Really wanted root on this phone, lets hope someone actually picks it up just as they did with the previous model (Smart Prime 6 / Smart Ultra 6).

İt did not work for me too ı hope a way can be found for rooting otherwise i desperately regret to bought this phone

Don't give up just yet, I do understand your desperation, as I feel almost the same as you, but you'll see someone will find a way, at least I hope...
This phone its awesome for its price point, and would be absolutely marvelous with all the tweaks and adjustments root brings to the table.
Who knows, maybe we'll have a full developed phone (custom ROMs, root, recovery, all of that good stuff), we can only wish someone works on it... :highfive:

Doesn't work for me too
Waiting for some devs...

This one is working for our VFD 700:

once again, sorry.

Now I'm working on custom recoveries for this phone.

Hey mate, just tried with the link you provided, unfortunately no success.
Been trying since yesterday to root with KingRoot, using different versions even.
Any ideas? USB Debugging in turned on and Unknown Sources as well (obviously).
Really really really want root on this phone.
Thanks!
Custom Recovery, Woop Woop :highfive:

That's strange that it's not working for you..
Many people say that it's not working for them, others say that it's working..
Where the problem could be?
I got my phone rooted after the second attempt, because I forgot to turn on USB debugging.

Everything matches the about phone screen you've sent,
I don't really know what can be different or wrong, but I've done everything right, I even used USB debugging to change my phone's DPI trough Android SDK...
I'm really confused, should I keep trying?

Umm, did you update your phone?
Because my custom build version is 120FKN1 and I even didn't update it.

I didn't, the phone came as it is out of the box, no software updates were made...
I guess we've found the issue, if the software versions don't match, that means everyone with yours (120FKN1) can root with KingRoot, and everyone with mine (060FFN1) can't...
I've got an issue in my hands I see...

Marshall London root?

Hey guys,
I really don't know where to ask this since this phone doesn't have a forum or anything - at least that I know of. If there is one I am glad if you can point me to it.
So, is there any way to root this device? I only bought it as a second phone for listening to music but I'd really like to root it, so, do you know anyhting?

Try King Root latest version. Not Kingoroot, but King Root.
KingoRoot, King Root not working. Anything else?
Thanks for reporting. Hoping for a root option before pulling the trigger...

not any news on this? i would love to root this phone and have a custom firmware. mine is full of bugs thats make it useless as a phone and camera, the only good thing about mine is the sound!
Me too want to root this phone, anyone know? Kingoroot & King Root cant root. After failed to root, it popup to ask them for help. It's around 150+ people already interested to root this phone.
This was essential for me. I have given up on purchasing this device. Based on monitoring the support page, it also seems the manufacturer is slow to develop updates. This device is starting to look like a manufacturer's experiment. I hope they do create an updated device and open to the US market...

If I were you, I'd try to flash root binaries via the recovery menu. Keep in mind, that I don't have that phone. If that fails, you can wait for the custom recovery and you can try to install binaries from there. Keep me updated.

Yes it is extremely slow development on this phone, since i did get it at the release there have been like 4-5 updates and none major update just some bugfixes that actually made the phone worse.
The support at MP is good fast answers but their not that good at helping you, they basically just copy&paste a standard Q&A.
My phone does stop vibrate occasionally, notification led is only functional sometimes, random reboots, Led flash is unusable on taking photos it does blend the lens so photos get almost black and some minor bugs, did contact support about this and they was not able to do anything due to that this is a gift from them. I had to pay for a shipping and repair myself.
I was hoping for root and custom rom, but as it seems that it will never happen i have an nice looking paperweight.

A custom rom might be a stretch due to the unique nature of the device, closed source code for the DAC, among other things. I have had trouble finding source code for this device, using code from similar devices tend to run into kernel panic issues.
I am working on a way to have flashable system images and a custom recovery on this device... and also a way to return the device completely to stock. The good news is that once you have binaries, you can use Fastboot to restore partitions. I have been able to re-flash experimental recovery builds with the original without any issue. No need to unlock or root.
And yes, root is possible. Kingoroot worked for me and I was able to successfully remove Kingo for SuperSU using the built in root swap tool in SuperSU.
I plan on starting a new thread for everything that I have for the Marshall London when I have everything working. Root, recovery, flashable ZIPs and stock images.
It may not be a device that is widely used but it definitely has a niche. I use it exclusively as an MP3 player because of its amazing sound. I also will be using it as a travel phone when I go to Europe. Shame the phone didn't find a larger market or even make it to North America because it's a very unique phone.

930A ATT S7 Snapdragon Xposed framework

Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!

Does This CF-Auto Root Trully Works ON G930T

guys i want to root my phone on the fast and very simple way possible.
found this root method on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
this is the link for the root method https://download.chainfire.eu/982/C...Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip
i did not tryed it my self yet. but if theres a user that rooted their phone that way, let me know.
bump
I don't think this will work unless we get our Bootloader unlocked (which hasn't been done yet as far as i know)
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
this is kind of lame.... why chainfire release a auto root if the thevice have bootloader locked down? and onlockable?
Confused myself
I want to say root is possible, there are tons of sites with instructions: https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...i57j0j69i60.9343j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Of course, XDA doesn't seem to have a specific G930T thread for rooting with instructions, then see threads like this today. I was all set to give it a try, but unsure if should proceed...
Did find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/sm-g930t-root-doesnt-void-warranty-t3415936
EDIT: so the one linked in original comment was the bleeding edge root process and seems like had a really high failure rate. Most current I've seen is: http://lifeatsamsung.com/root-t-mobile-galaxy-s7-sm-g930t-2/
Seems a little more clean cut and easy. I'll edit again if I find a newer solution or at least commentary on success/fail
In comments OP posts:
Yes I am planning to make a video tutorial.
Also I used the method provided here (this is Max Lee's website)

Worked for me, no problem. Even installed the debloated, deox'd ROM. Unfortunately after root you will need to follow rest of guide, otherwise you will see some lag issues.
On the other side of it, phone is great, fast, if not faster than before, and got root. Let me know if you would like some screenshots proving a TMO phone is rootable or if can answer any questions

This means that the only rooting method right now isn't as stable as it would be if it had a unlocked bootloader the root right now will cause some issues but they can easily be fix from some of the steps after rooting guides that are in the xda forums and yes it using a Qualcomm processor Witch is pretty much the snapdragon and there hasn't been any luck this past year of getting the bootloader unlocked for full and smooth rooting I'm really ****ty at explaining sorry if your still lost
The Chainfire method he released does NOT work. I'm not sure why he released it...maybe he knows of a future bootloader unlock that we don't know about.

Alcatel OneTouch Flint TWRP

So i was finally able to install TWRP after rooting using this guide from @Casey Campanile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/alcatel-onetouch-flint-root-t3440088
**You must have ROOT first**
So it is actually pretty simple,
*Download the file i uploaded
*Unzip the TWRP file
*Download FlashFire
Now I did have OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and BusyBox installed when I did this, not sure if it makes a difference.
*Make sure BusyBox is up to date
1. I suggest doing a backup
2. Flash the TWRP file that you unzipped as Firmware Package
3. Done
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WIPE DEVICE THROUGH THE OPTION IN SETTINGS!!!
P.S. all this is done at your own risk. im not responsible for any bricked devices.
Thanks for the edit suggestions @Casey Campanile

*Download FlashFire
Now I did have OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and BusyBox installed when I did this, not sure if it makes a difference.
*Make sure BusyBox is up to date
1. I suggest doing a backup
2. Flash the TWRP file that you unzipped as Firmware Package
3. Done
P.S. all this is done at your own risk. im not responsible for any bricked devices.
Thanks for the edit suggestions @Casey Campanile

I can't believe no one has thanked you or at least said good going on this.I've had my Flint for about 6 months and used it as a backup mostly.I was sitting at work tonight waiting on the boss and I decided to look up and see if anyone had did anything with the Flint yet.I was floored when I came across your post. Everything is working great with TWRP but if I let it timeout and screen go dark it won't allow me to swipe to unlock.Not a big deal to me but I wanted to report it to you since no one else seems to be commenting on this.I appreciate your hard work and taking the time to do it. Great job!!! ? ??

So i was finally able to install TWRP after rooting using this guide from @Casey Campanile

**You must have ROOT first**
So it is actually pretty simple,

I've got an issue with TWRP I can't seem to find anything on.Wanted to see if you could help me figure it out.Initially after installing all was well.Made a backup and rebooted.Today,a month later I wanted to do a factory reset and Initially tried via settings/backup/device reset.It just rebooted back to home screen.I then rebooted into TWRP and tried via wipe but nothing will mount.My SD card won't even mount and everything shows all 0's.Any ideas?I'm not a noob by any means but I can't figure this one out.

Hmm, that's seems weird haven't experienced that before. I haven't tried to do a full swipe yet on this phone. Did it complete the wipe?

No it didn't.I couldn't get anything to mount in recovery to complete a wipe.I think perhaps that we should do a warning about trying to wipe from backup/reset in settings.At least until we figure this out.I was finally able to do a reset via Flash fire but nothing will mount in recovery still.

That sounds like a good idea only thing I would try is to try and restore the backup you did and try and reflash TWRP see if that does anything I have yet to try and reset this phone considering its my daily phone currently my lg g3 suffered the fading screen and I couldn't get it fixed

I highly recommend the Honor 5x if youre budget inclined and the Mate 8 if you have a few extra $$.I had the 5x and it actually is a damn nice device.I beat the Nexus 6 in Antutu scores with it.

That's pretty impressive I'm gonna look into that one, one thought just crossed my mind you try flashing your recovery through the fastboot commands on the bootloader?
I tried reflashing every way possible.Still nothing will mount.I think you may want to add a warning to the OP not to try and factory reset via settings.Maybe we can figure it out.
I added it to the OP. Something that might help is when I was digging thru this phone I found out it's the same as the Alcatel pop 3 5.5 looks like they just renamed it
OMG, this has been great. Im all rooted and TWRPd with my Flint now. It is a great feeling, but Im not sure what to do next Are there any benefits to this now? I can't find any custom roms for it...is there a way to get something newer than Android 5.1.1 installed?

No custom ROMs rn but u can install Xposed for lollipop and u can remove bloatware with titanium backup
Cool, so, I'm not clear what Xposed gives me though. Is it worth it?
Hey Xposed has different modules you can install, my favorite are YouTube background play and YouTube ad blocker but they have various ones, just take a look on the downloads section in xposed

Wow, my day is complete. This is great. Going to install soon. Ive been looking for a YouTube ad blocker! :good:
Just wanted to follow up again and say thanks for pointing me to this. I've got the framework installed and now im going through the modules, picking what looks good to me. This is pretty much all I needed I dont care if we never get a custom rom at this point.
Your welcome, there's a lot of modules, I would say just be careful which ones you install and use. Ive had some that gave me problems
CyanogenMod a possibility?

Xiaomi M11 Ultra, Cannot restore. TWRP?

Ok here we go. I bought this new. I did a deleted Magisk which I should of not done. Somehow the root is screwed up. I am trying to get in the phone to restore it to like I bought it. There was an issue when I bought it with Magisk. Something about it needed to be an app. Anyway, When I do a reboot I have a choice of Reboot, Recovery, Soft Reboot , Bootloader. I want to flash a rom again and fix the Magisk so it has no errors. I have read and tried the different way to do this. I installed TWRP but cannot get it to come up on a boot because there is no home button on my phone. Any suggestions?
You can start from scratch and install the official ROM that's supposed to be on your phone via miflash
Then you can start fresh on ROM of your choice and clean install of twrp and magisk etc

U shouldn't do what u dont really know from beginning
Way to fix your problem: download miflash and fastboot rom file to flash it to stock rom (any region u want because of unlocked bootloader)

I was wanting to unroot the phone and it was supposed to unroot it when you uninstall Magisk. There already was an issue with Magisk from the start wanting it to be an app instead of a system app. Things went down from there. I have fastboot, recovery on it now. Just want to be able to download some apps that won't install because of root detection. Now I have a corrupted root thanks to Magisk.

You don't sound like you have put in much effort tbh
You should read more and watch some of those video tutorials before doing things that break your phone
The phone is not bricked. I cannot find the firmware for this phone. Weird. I have looked a a lot of firmware and cannot find one for this phone. it says M11 Ultra and Redmi Note 2 (hermes) the Android OS is 10 but the hermes I see are 5.0. Too old os. I do watch the videos. When I got this phone it already was not right with the rooting it came with. I did not want rooting because I cannot download certain apps I use. I went through the steps to delete root through deleting Magisk but from there it went to ****. The phone works. But there is corrupted root and fastboot keeps tapping out when I boot to it. Also Magisk was updated to 23.1 at the start and there was a conflict with that. Had I known this phone was rooted I would of never bought it. Also not sure if bootloader is open. My PC sees it just fine communicating with the phone through a program I have not figure out. What I have tried does not work. I don't need an ass chewing here. I just asked for some help. Thanks

Yes I have put effort for a week now. I assume I need the fastboot rom to get this. I cannot get TWRP to even come up on the phone. Fastboot always does.

I also want to add there is no where in the developer options that I can turn on the OEM. What I watch on the videos is NOT on the phone I have. I do have debug on the computer sees the phone. thats it.

Check and make sure "USB Debugging" is on under Developer Options. Once this done, from the command prompt, execute "adb reboot recovery". This will take you to recovery (TWRP in your case).

When you get to Setting, in the search bar type "OEM" and it will list "OEM Unlocking" in the search result. Clicking on this should help you get to OEM Unlocking option.

It cannot be a Redmi note 2 and a mi 11 ultra at the same time....
It sounds like the other said, a fake phone

Again I cannot find the for sure Firmware for this. Not sure it is the right firmware. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144199997051?hash=item2192fd567b:g:MagAAOSwakdhP9I7

The phone works fine but its rooted and I don't want root. This all started because I followed what it said about removing root. Just do it through Magisk. That did NOT work. From there corrupt root. As for phone It works. But I cannot use my banking and investment apps on a rooted phone. That is the problem.

MTK6595, not much hope of resolving this without getting hold of seller and finding out the ROM producer and probably flashing again on a formatted system ( there are so many but a search on a browser may help). Flashing MTK systems are not hard, just need the correct ROM and leave it unrooted using SP flash tools. There are plenty of rooting bids for mtk's, so may be you can unroot too using the guides from a browser search. Unless you can return as an item not as described for a refund.
