I have some sad news for you man ! that Russian youtuber is just a copy/past guy ! He took the recovery directly from a russien forum where the dev who makes it doesn't have a u20plus he is a famous twrp builder called Jimmini. I've already contacted him & he told me that he'll check it out when he have the time, so don't expect anything from the youtubers

Hello guys
I have managed to root oukitel u20 plus like 20 days ago, but forgot to post on XDA, here are steps:
1. Go to Developer options and enable OEM unlocking
2. Shutdown phone, hold volume down and plug in USB cable, keep holding the button until you see fastboot, for some reason controls are inversed it says volume up to select but its volume down to select, or other way around i dont rememeber.
3. After windows detects your device go to fastboot and type in command "fastboot oem unlock" without quotes, use buttons to confirm the prompt. After this you can use fastboot to boot TWRP. This will wipe your data!!!
4. Once phone boots copy SuperSU 2.78 or newer to device internal memory, and reboot back again to fastboot.
5. Download twrp from my link and put it in your fastboot directory, now type "fastboot boot u20_twrp.img" without quotes.
6. You will be booted in TWRP with Touchscreen working, select and flash your supersu.zip.
7. Reboot and enjoy your root and stock recovery for OTA.
Explanation:
For some reason when you flash TWRP with flashtools touchscreen is not working, but when you try to boot recovery instead of flashing it, the touchscreen works allowing your to flash zips and do backups.
Twrp link:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/biqa9f
Solution 2: (Not tested)
While in twrp you can flash zips with command line, without touchscreen.
1. Go to your adb command window and type "adb shell" without quotes.
2. Once in shell type "twrp install /sdcard/SuperSu.zip" without quotes... Adjust location and name of the zip file to where you putted it.
3. It will install supersu without touchscreen

Go to your settings, scroll down to "About phone", tap "Build Number" 5 times, when it says you are developer now, go back and enter "Developer options".
Find option called "OEM Unlocking" enable that, then reboot to fastboot do "fastboot oem unlock" and then try to boot twrp image.
Check this image for refference about "OEM Unlocking":

Hello everyone. Today I'm presenting you the first development for the LG K10 (MTK chipset). As you can see on announcement text this is beta stage yet so be careful and make you sure what are you doing on your device.
Note: This version can't be written over the stock recovery partition as this has further sizes than stock. Only can be used by downloading via fastboot. Check out installation instructions.
Disclaimer:

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
What’s new in 3.0.0.0:
TWRP 3.0.0-0 is out now for all currently supported devices.
Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
Update AOSP base to 6.0
A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
BUG LIST
Can't mount /data partition w/o wiping data because of encryption
Battery percentage doesn't show the correct value.
CPU Temp percentage doesn't show the correct value.
No more(?)
Installation Instruction
Warning: After applying these steps, you might lose your data and your device will have been installed some unofficial stuff. So, it'll give you some warnings during boot up. To skip this warning, just wait till device boots up. To remove this warning, you need to flash whole stock partitions (check this thread to do). As I said above, I'm not responsible for anything. You've been warned twice.
Install right usb drivers for your device. You can find them on official LG website.
Go to "Settings->About phone->Software information and click continiously on build number 7-8 times. You'll see a tost with message "You've enabled developer options."
Go back and go into Developer options, and check "Enable OEM unlock" and "Enable Android Debugging"
Download ADB, fastboot and drivers. Run and install/accept everything. When you're done, copy/cut and paste the image file to root directory of adb folder. (Must be like this http://i.hizliresim.com/jnga7r.png)
Connect your phone with your PC, run command promt and type following commands;
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
-Check your device after this command and follow the instructions on your device. Apply the steps to unlock the bootloader. (This will erase all data)
fastboot boot twrp3_k430-berkantkz.img
And after all these steps, you must see TWRP screen on your device. It will ask you for the password. Don't worry, just click on cancel and voila! TWRP is done for your device. You can edit your system or flash anything with it. But it's not possible to make modifications on data partition unless you wipe it. You need to wipe data partition to remove password/encryption.

This thread is not for rooting. If you're asking for does this work on K430DSF, must work. It has alos MTK chipset, as far as I know.
About rooting, I couldn't find a right method to root this devices. Actually, I don't need to root my device. Root isn't needed to port new roms. Root can provide you only customizing stock rom. So I'll try to port new roms.

cmd run as Administrator. OR: On device- Menu-Settings-General-Developer options (if don't have then: about phone-common-software info-tap about 10 time on build number)-enable OEM unlock.
P.S. sorry for my bad english)

Hi, thanks for your time and effort. Any advice how to get it working or how it can be used?
I'm able to boot into it but I'm lost in the start screen "Unmodified System Partition". Without the touchscreen I cannot use "swipe to allow modifications".
Update: After some fiddling on the screen I was able to enter the twrp. Thanks
Thanks
Stephan
Thanx.But not working for my device. 10-30L . i can't make backup,i can't flash nothing. I think we must wait for official relase...

Nice. Was this on Marshmallow?
Thanks for porting TWRP to the TB2 A10-30F/L, @Costi979 and @ProtoDeVNan0! :good:
I've tried booting it first via fastboot boot recovery.img, which worked great, but it fails to backup /system, /boot and /data, as SELinux is still enforced. Building my own kernel based on msm8909_defconf from the Lenovo Support source code for the A10-30F with SELinux disabled in the config worked so far, but now I can't seem to get the touch screen working (which did indeed work with the above attached recovery.img). How did you port TWRP and which kernel (from what source?) did you use? Is there a GitHub repository?
Perdon...este TWRP vale para LENOVO TAB 2 A10-30 TB2 X30F
Gracias, no me atrevo, por que hay varios modelos de TAB2 A10-30, pero si me aconsejais que es para este modelo, genial.
Hi all,
I've tried to recover my Lenovo Tab2 A10-30.
I have done the first 3 steps :
1-Turn off Your device.
2-Hold Vol up and plug in usb.
3-From stock recovery select reboot to bootloader.
but then the tablet stay whith the LENOVO logo (powered by android) and doesn't go to bootloader.
I've tried to wipe data, then reinstall fresh firmware TB2-X30F_S113_160816_ROW_FULLOTA. Tablet runs well, but no reboot on bootloader... (
any idea on how to install recovery.img for TWRP and then supersu ?
thanks for your help, and sorry for my english ;o)
Regards
Sebastien
Power off tablet, power on and keep pressing volume up and down keys. Tablet will boot in bootloader. Connect to pc, device manager will install proper driver. Use QFIL to flash firmware

Hi,
Yes, OEM unlock is enabled and USB debug also.
RECOVERY MODE is working good (vol up + power) : I can go to RECOVERY. Then I select "Reboot to Bootloader". The tablet reboots but stay in the screen with the LENOVO logo and "Powered by android".
If I start whith buttons (vol up & vol down + power) : same behaviour, tablet stay in Logo screen.
If I start whith down button + power, I can go to the factory meny (with all chineese characters).
Perhaps my bootloader partition is broken ? With RECOVERY MODE, can I reflash it ?
Thanks for your help,

Many thanks Jugehuge !!! I never thought it was the good screen, always thinking the tablet was on a bootloop ! :silly:
So I've tried Fastboot and IT WORKS like a charm ! many many thanks, I was on this since Christmas !
So TWRP is installed. good.
Now, I have another problem to root : when I tri to install SuperSu, I have an error message in the log saying :

SuperSu is not installed and no root after.

Thanks Jugehuge, but I don't really understand where I am supposed to find these files for policies...
Nevermind. I wanted to try another TWRP because the one I have installed has a lot of errors (can't stat many folders, ...) Can't return to Fasboot anymore... Can't instal another version of SuperSu (many errors in logs)...
So I will stop my actions, because I have the stange fealing that I will made a big mistake
I will give the tablet to my daughter as this, she will have to restart her games and I will not be able to give her a lot of gems, nor remove the advertisings. But she will be happy to have her tab back !
Many many thanks for your help and to have try to help, but I'm giving up... I've rooted 6 phones and tablet from Samsung in couples of minutes, but for this Lenovo, this is a nightmare for me :silly:
Thanks again

Hi Sebastien,
Those stat errors are fine. I had them coming also but those didn't prevent from rooting.
It's hard when there isn't much community behind the product. For Samsung products is fairly easy to get rooted as there is community behind them.
One question. Did you download Latest(V2.79):Recovery Flashable.zip from SuperSU??
After a lot of struggles, we've finally managed to root the Sony Xperia E5.
If you own this device and would like to root it, this thread will guide you through the process.
Requirements:
-You must have the correct drivers installed!
You can't proceed without them as the adb interface won't recognize your device.
-The modified boot.img for 37.0.A.2.156 which you can download here
-The modified boot.img for 37.0.A.2.248 which you can download here
-Twrp recovery which you can download here
-The adb interface, google it.
-Your bootloader must be unlocked via the Sony official method. If you can't find the E5 in the list, you can use the code of the E4g.
-Supersu 2.79 zip which you can download here
-An equal kernel (boot.img) to your desired firmware version. 37.0.A.2.156+37.0.A.2.156 or 37.0.A.2.248+37.0.A.2.248.
-The no-verity encryption fix (optional): (link to be added)
-30 minutes of your time.
I'm not responsible for any possible damage caused to your phone, even though it most likely won't go wrong if you follow the instructions carefully.
I can, however, provide support if your device is stuck in a bootloop.
I won't reply to questions, of which the answers are already mentioned in this thread.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU'VE DOWNLOADED THE KERNEL THAT IS MEANT FOR YOUR SPECIFIC FIRMWARE VERSION!
IF THE TWO AREN'T EQUAL, YOU'LL HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE AND YOU'LL HAVE TO AGREE THAT I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!
Instructions:
1. Unlock your bootloader, check out Sony's website to see how.
2. Check whether the boot unlock succeeded or not.
To do so, you can open your dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#* .
A screen will appear, tap on service info and go to configuration.
Check the rooting status:
*If it says 'bootloader unlock allowed=yes' it means your bootloader is still locked.
*If it says 'bootloader unlocked=yes' it means your bootloader is unlocked.
3. Install the correct drivers for your device, Sony adb+fastboot etc.
4. Go to the root directory of your adb folder, location depending of where you installed it.
Hold Shift and right click to show a menu.
In that menu there should be an option called 'open command prompt here', click on it and it should start adb.
5. Make sure to enable usb debugging on your device.
6. Connect your phone to your computer and type this command in adb:
Code:
adb devices
If your device shows up, it means adb recognized your device and you may proceed.
If it doesn't show up you have to double check your installed drivers in device manager.
7. Type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to reboot the device to fastboot.
8. Now you'll have to flash the kernel and recovery.
Put both of the files into the root directory of the adb folder and rename them to boot.img and recovery.img, type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
to flash the kernel and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to flash the recovery.
9. Unplug your device and boot into twrp by pressing the power+volume down buttons. Keep holding the volume down button and release the power button quickly.
10. When you're in twrp, head to 'wipe'->'advanced wipe'->'(user)data partition'.
This step is optional, but recommended to avoid problems with encryption.
Update: the forced encryption has proven to bring limitations and issues to the recovery and system.
The updated steps are now mandatory!
11. Now head to 'install', browse to the directory in which you saved the supersu zip file and flash/install it.
12. Flash the latest version of the encryption fixed no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file, which can be downloaded from here
At first I made my own fix zip file, but I lost it and lot's of other projects, so the above file is a workaround.
13. If the installation succeeds, you may reboot your device.
Please be patient, the first boot may take a while.
It will reboot during the initialization, so don't panic and think it's a bootloop, cause it simply isn't.
I hope this has helped people with rooting their Sony Xperia E5.
I'm here if you need support, unless it's something dumb and/or already mentioned.
UPDATE APRIL 2018
A new modified kernel is available for the latest firmware 37.0.A.2.248!
The rooting process is the same as written above, but instead of flashing the older kernel and firmware, you'll have to flash the new ones.
Be warned, you cannot flash any newer kernel on an older firmware version and the other way around!
The kernel and firmware versions always have to be equal, no exceptions.
An advantage of flashing the newer kernel is that it should support Magisk, while the previous one didn't.
If you want to root your device with Magisk, or install both Magisk and Supersu, the rooting instructions will differ.
You can find new instructions here: (Link to the thread to be added!)

You must enable oem unlocking in developer options.
To do this you'll have to go to settings, tap on about device and tap build number 5 times in a row.
This will enable the developer options on your device.
Now go to the developer options in settings and make sure oem unlocking is checked.
Now try to unlock the bootloader again.
It should work now, but if it doesn't, you'll have to check your drivers.
It worked perfectly, I had to restore everything because my phone turned on with fabric presets, but the technology saved me, my phone automatically did a backup this morning. Thanks!

Unlocking the bootloader always deletes all your data, I'm glad you've made a backup.
So did you manage to root it?
Well, right now im officially Rooted, but unsucesfully... My device is detected by Root Checker like a rooted device, but I dont know why some apps dont recoignize it. I have two apps what works with root:
- The first one ask me for root permissions but says dont detect root...
- The another app dont ask me and dont recoignize it...
But that everything looks fine, i dont know whats the issue.

That's odd, do you see the supersu app in your app drawer?
If not, install it from the play store and within the app update the su binary.
Also make sure that in supsersu settings, superuser is enabled and that mount namespace seperation is disabled.
Let me know if that worked out with you
I confirm you thats all ok, i dont know how to resolve the issue...

Hi, if you use Magisk try to disable build in Busybox and install it from Playstore app. It solve the problem on some devices.
OK, I downloaded Magisk and Busybox, I wish I have all the requirements for use any root app! I will reply again if Im done, Thank you!

No-frills cpu control didn't work on mine either, I replaced it with kernel adiutor.

Hello.
Why do we need to flash modified kernel?
Isn't recovery just enough for installing supersu zip onto system partition?

Flashing only the recovery will result into a bootloop.
As this is a newer device, some kernel patches are required due to dm-verity, bootcheck, etc.
Also make sure to first flash the kernel and then the kernel afterwards to finish the rooting process successfully.
Good luck.
Please! Need Help Fast

You haven't done anything wrong so far.
The two downloaded files must be placed in your adb folder
You must rename the kernel into boot.img and the recovery into recovery.img
Try to then re-enter the commands of step 8.
If it still says waiting for device it means you'll need to check if you have the proper drivers installed in device manager.
If you really want to turn your device off for now, you can long press the volume up+volume down+power buttons at the same time so your device will turn itself off.
I need help
After unlocking the bootloader, I can`t restore the backup.
EDIT: I attached a zip with AIDA64's reports for this phone. One report has Magisk hidden from AIDA64, the other doesn't.
This mostly a copy of _cab13_'s Rooting the UMI F2 post as the same instructions for rooting that phone are how I rooted the S5 Pro. So please give _cab13_ thanks here if this helped you root your phone. I'll take a thanks for removing the orange state warning if I helped you with that
Please be patient when posting questions, I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I just have many responsibilities which take up a great deal of my time.
Rooting the S5 Pro
Disclaimers
This is important, please read thoughtfully.
whatever you do, NEVER EVER use SP Flash Tool in "Format All+Download" mode. This will wipe your IMEI['s]s and some other bad stuff will happen like loss of fingerprint sensor. This cannot be reversed by us.
Once bootloader is unlocked, warranty is considered void. By following this guide, you consent to that happening. Safety net CTS will not pass anymore unless you flash Magisk which hides the unlocked bootloader.
Never re-lock your bootloader while running anything unofficial as the phone will not boot until you unlock again.
And, once again, a lot of bad things can happen like boot loops, if that happens to you, don't freak out! Simply re-flash the stock ROM, redoing the rooting process from the start. It might be time consuming, but that's your safest bet!
More important even, have fun rooting, it's before all a hobby!

Unlocking Bootloader
ATTENTION!! After unlocking the bootloader, all user data in the phone's memory will be lost, so do not forget to throw all the most important things on your computer or flash drive!
1) Activate "Developer options" through Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number multiple times.
2) Open "Developer options" in Settings > System > Tap Advanced.
Enable "OEM Unlocking" and enter your password to confirm. Enable "USB Debugging" as well.
3) On Windows, download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot by shimp208
On Linux, use your package manager to install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot
4) Open command prompt (Win + R > type cmd) or a terminal on linux.
5) Plug your phone, accept the prompt about adb and the PC signature.
6) Type adb reboot bootloader to reboot in fastboot mode. Unplug your cable from your phone
and replug it after fastboot is printed at the bottom of the screen.
THESE NEXT TWO STEPS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DATA
7) Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+
8) Unlock the secure partitions using fastboot flashing unlock_critical and pressing Vol+
9) Restart using fastboot reboot
You will now always see "Orange State" at boot; this is completely fine and will only delay your boot by 5 seconds.
Rooting using Magisk patched boot.img
This is "experimental" and is probably overkill, but everyone managed to install Magisk with it.
1) Clean install UMIDIGI_S5Pro_20200702.V3.02 (or the European one) with SPFT by selecting the scatter file, pressing download an rebooting the phone
(Make sure it is in "Download Mode" and not "Format + Download")
2) Patch boot.img by copying it to your device, using Magisk Manager to patch it, and get back the magisk_patched.img in the Download folder back to your PC.
3) Start ADB while booted; run adb reboot bootloader. Alternative is to reboot to recovery and selecting "reboot to bootloader"
4) unlock if not already done with fastboot flashing unlock followed by fastboot flashing unlock_critical
5) In the following code, the vbmeta.img and the recovery.img are the stock files from the ROM you downloaded and extracted.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
When rebooting, install Magisk Manager. It will prompt to finalize the installation, you can do so.
Congratulations ! You are now a proud Magisk user ! All credits goes to @topjohnwu he's the real MVP here.
Returning to stock / Resolving issues
The best way to resolve any issue is to return to stock. Here is the method.
1) Download latest stock ROM on UMIDIGI's forums
2) Download SP Flash Tool if you don't have it yet (Windows only)
3) Extract stock ROM in SP Flash Tool directory. Refer to Flash Tool guide if needed.
4) Open SP Flash Tool, Download Tab, "Choose" in Scatter-loading file, select the scatter file in the stock ROM directory.
5) If you want to keep your data, untick "userdata" partition. MAKE SURE FORMAT IS NOT SELECTED!
6) Press Download and connect your device via USB. Reboot the phone or turn it off and everything will be flashed.
7) If you want a full stock experience, I recommend relocking the bootloader so that SafetyNet will pass. Get into fastboot mode by using adb reboot bootloader and use fastboot flashing lock_critical followed by fastboot flashing lock. This will wipe your data once more.
You should be good to go.
ONE LAST THING
Get rid of your orange state warning.
Download the attached zip file and extract.
Put your phone into fastboot and:
Code:
fastboot erase lk
fastboot erase lk2
fastboot flash lk lk_patched.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
No more orange state warning! Reflash the stock lk before unrooting, though.
ATTACHED LK FILE IS FOR UMIDIGI S5 Pro ONLY.

No luck for me finding a custom recovery (twrp or anything else.)
If you have any exp with them, see if you can make the F2's (found in the F2 root thread) work. It SHOULD only need a minumum of tweaking, just to account for the (afaik) slight soc differences. i'm not gonna hold my breath. there seems to be a void when it comes to enthusiasm for this phone. by my serial no, i have the 4832nd phone manufactured. compared to serials ranging from 22000- 189000 for my other umis (f1play, s3pro, f2, power3)
I think I'll try making TWRP soon for it.
The F2 TWRP would not be usable this easily, it's easier to start fresh.
If anyone wants to try, download the sources for the F2 TWRP on my GitHub, then you need to extract the stock kernel and replace the F2's with the S5pro's

hello folks,
This message is not about rooting s5 but rather about downgrading. I posted on the umidigi forum but have not received an answer. So the problem is the new OTA update that they pushed out yesterday. After update I lost 4G connectivity and i am unable to restore it. I want to roll back to the previous update. They have the roms available on the forum and I downloaded one but what I am not sure is can I use SP flash tool to just download the older ROM version on top of the new one?
I see lots of manuals on how to update but how do I safely downgrade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I see lots of manuals on how to update but how do I safely downgrade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do a "download only" flash of the "super", " vbmeta_system", and "vbmeta_vendor" partitions only (uncheck all other partitions) from the previous ROM. That should do it.

What precisely stuck you?
There is a new update firmware please make a rooting tutorial on youtube.,
Somebody made a custom TWRP and posted it on here. So if that'll help anyone out and get them to make a tutorial video, that be great. 'Cause I'm reading this over and over again, and I think I can do it, but I'm being very hesitant about it. And it's getting me all frustrated. I had it on "Flash Mode". And when I continued typing it out, it didn't go through and that had me on a raging panic attack. Luckily, it didn't mess up. But now I'm more hesitant. Please make a quick tutorial, doesn't even have to be perfect...
TWRP is at the bottom of this page:

Thanks for this guide. I am completely lost with step 7 and 8. What does the Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+ mean?????? Where do you enter the unlock code and what is it?

I am able to get FastBoot Mode on my screen (through step 6). I plug the phone back in per directions & I hear the Windows device connected chime.
I type: fastboot flashing unlock in the same cmd window
and I get "<waiting for any device>" in the cmd window and it hangs.
Every few seconds I hear the Windows device disconnected noise, but no device connect chime. This lasts indefinitely.
I repeated step 7 several times with variations with the Vol+ button: pressing first, holding down while pressing enter in cmd window, pushing afterward, holding down afterward, etc. Same results as described above.
Any help available? Should I not unplug my phone from the PC? The F2 directions did not require that.
thanks!

Sorry for the delay bro, I think you can't unlock the bootloader of Your Phone, bcoz it is not directly from the realme, I mean the phone which u bought is customized by your sim(carrier) company
