I succeeded to root my Star S7180
Look for
"Cwm Recovery S7100 by Angelobiz"
and flash it using the last part of this manual "MT6577 CWMR Root Updated V2"
Then you can boot into the clockwork mod and install a "su" root zip.

If it is a Star / HDC / UPAI Note 2 clone also known as a N7100+ S7100 and S7180 then there is a spanish forum which has instructions and fixed versions of the stock rom
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/forums/128-N7100-S7180
there is a moderator there who has deodexed and fixed some of the problems with the stock rom
Installing and flashing CWM for this phone is not for the faint of hearted. Using the MTK flash tool and creating your own scatter flash file and even your own up to date CWM is advisable. There is a thread on here which explains how to do the flashing and creating your own CWM recovery.
Or you use the CWM by the spanish forum and their instructions
good luck!

OK, I've looked on the spanish forums and I really cant get my head around it. Ive had some rooting experience via Odin when rooting my HTC One X and Galaxy S3 but nothing like this. Anyone care to do a guide in proper English as opposed to google's translated guide? Ideally I want to gain root access and install an improved rom. The one which is installed with the phone is pretty lame.
Thanks guys, any help appreciated

s7180
Further to my last post, if this is any good I keep getting the following error when I try to flash recovery.img to the handset:
BROM ERROR : S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Need download all images!
.................I havent a clue what the hell that means. Grr, its doing my nut in
I tried translating the spanish forum to no avail.
I also tried using the method for the NT6577 chipset, nadda.
Any help would be appreciated

It would appear that your the only one who has managed to root yours. Please would you mind compiling an idiots guide for us noobs If I can get Clockwork mod on the phone I think I could probably figure the rest out.
Much obliged
Matt
Thanks for the pointers guys, I was unable to escape the bootloader!
its not a guide as such but might help in giving more pointers.
I managed to replace the existing recovery and replace it with my own generated CWM recovery.
In order to do this I followed this guide!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764 which has a link to a tutorial
I went and installed the droid kitcen and MT6577 plugin as well in order to create my own recovery as that was my prefference. use any files of the internet at your own risk or lower the risk and DIY it!
This is curtesy of yuweng who did all the hard work writing it up.
Regarding to my phone which is classed as an S7180 or N7100+
I found this website
http://gt35pro-mobile-gadgets.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/hdc-s7100-note-2-is-now-renamed-hdc.html
He also gives out the links to which packages to download inlcuding a CWM recovery.
**************************** disclaimer *************
Don't use a scatter file that you did not create using the tools that yuweng is referencing to in his thread and tutorial!!!!!!!!!
if you use the wrong scatter file you flash the recovery into the wrong section of memory and therefore run at a HUGE risk of bricking the phone
***************************** disclaimer end *************
In essence the order I did things in
Backed up my original recovery using the Flashtool
Created my own CWM recovery using the Android Kitchen which needs the MT6577 tool and plugin installing as a mod (search XDA for the guide as to hoto do the install and yuweng also has a tutorial on how to add the MT6577 recovery generation for this)
Using MTK Droid tools to generate my own scatter file. ( a scatter file is like a memory map as to where the start and is and in this case the map for the CWM)
then using the Flash tool i flashed it using my scatter and my previously created CWM. See yuweng tutorial.
Again Gregg has provided a CWM, I can't comment on it as I never tried it.
anyway the moment i had CWM, I flashed the ROM that was on that blog page. Which came of the spanish forum originally. And they are now on version 1.2 las time I looked. 1.0 fixes a few things, i am using 1.1 as 1.2 removed the touchwiz look a like launcher and my 3D sheep widget
TIPS
* Driver installation is crucial to succesfully flashing with the FlashTool
- Switch phone off and remove the battery, then plug it in. Complete that driver install
- Re-insert battery and check without booting it you will notice that it does not have the same behaviour as with battery...very odd...still do it just in case
-boot it up and once ready put it in USB debug mode and connect usb lead and let the driver install complete
* READ THE TUTORIALS - Seriously i spent 1/2 day nonstop checking things
* Don't do this if you are not sure about what you are doing at all.
* Check your scatter file values for where the recovery is going to be flashed at least 4 times before commiting them into the flashtool. It pays to be safe!!
* Dont get freaked out by Hex values when you put them into the flashtool. if it looks wrong then check again. Only when you press the download button in the flashtool with your phone attached will it start.
stupid question
Hi ! Im following yuweng tutorial to make my own recovery ,but im stucked in starting android kitchen. I have installed all and i am at page 13 of the manual , when i am at in the cygwin command windows at cygdrive/c/android-kitchen-0.219/ and type "menu" ,nothing happens , just "comand not found" ,How do i start kitchen menu?

Hey everyone,
After spending hours toiling through the different methods listed above (thanks to everyone for posting those), I've found a much simpler way to root the S7100, not sure about the other ones.
Go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
and download the Framaroot 1.6.1 .apk to you phone. Install it, and wham, rooted. Or at least thats how simple it was for me: Hope it works for anyone else trying to root.
Note: This root exploit also works on many other types of phones as the thread explains.
It doesn't install the recovery or anything, but it's certainly a start.
Specs about the phone:
Model Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V15,2012/10/08 20:22
Build Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga_2013088
Hi guys,
Need help to get what kind of phone get into my hands? How to get differences beetwen those 2? All I know its the version with MTK6589.
Also I'm trying to instal some ROM at this phone, and can't get it done. SP Flash Tool is not seeing the phone, same with Odin, when I try to instal ROM from recovery mode it always say: aborted.
Did anyone of you had this phone and manage to be done??
Thanks for advices.
Your first question: We cannot tell you which device to buy/is better. That is a decision for you to make based on your needs.
Your second question: please clearly indicate which device you're having the issue with so we can recommend your next course of action.
thank you

Thank You for the answer. Im not considering buying any of this devices, I just got it from my sister boyfriend to see what can I do with it. That's why I asked do anyone got idea how to check is it HDC or Goophone.
To Your second question: I think its HDC S5, so lets stay on it. I tried to instal ROM via SP Flash Tool and the program didn't find the devices (I was doing everything like in the instructions), same with Odin (which i guess is normal since its a chineese clone). Stock recovery at this phone is in china language so I tried to instal ROM via CWM Recovery and got only information that instalation is aborted.
ROM installed right now is:
model.. sm-g900h
device.. mtk 6589
android..4.4.2
baseband version. G900HXXU1ANCE
Ok well you'll need to ask your question here.
It's not a popular phone and has very little support so you may not find what you're looking for.
good luck
Hello I am really wanting to put a kernel on my phone but I just switched to an android phone from a iphone and it's so confusing to me. The kernel I want to install is the Hacker kernel.

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Listen to the developer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65314272&postcount=75
Zip files are meant to be flashed in twrp just like all custom roms and mods that you find.
Any one who has a custom rom for samsung sm_920r4? please help.............

ok, Thanks for the replay. To be specific I need a custom rom for my samsung (SM-G920R4) because I need to flush using Twrp 2.8.7.0 but I could not find a custom rom for my specific rom. What happened was my I just bought my phone from a dude who I met on sell and buy viber group here in Ethiopia (big mistake I know) and it worked fine for a day or so and then I logged my google account. After that my phone run out of battery so I plugged it and turn my phone on and when I did this I got frp locked it just bootloops showing me "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I took it to some phone fix guy and he managed to turn the frp lock off but it need to be flush he and also I tried to flush it using stock firmware with odin but that didn't work so I saw on xda thread that some guy was able to fix the same issue as me by using custom rom here is the link to that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-sw-rev-check-fail-device-3-binary-2-t3218678
But, I could not find a custom rom for my samsung model number SM-G920R4 us cellular, So I am begging this community of developers to save my phone if they have a custom rom for my model number? I am student and I can't offered to buy a new phone. Please help. Thanks for taking the time and reading this.
No problem. This should be perfect for a development member to pick up and assist.

bump. I mean, help? Same issue.
If the issue is you need a custom rom for that variant the op has then unfortunately you're out of luck, no one develops for that variant sadly.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Phone Boot Issue
Hi,
I'm new to XDA developers and pretty much a noob in Android related stuff, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 with TWRP installed. Last week it went into a bootloop or something and wouldn't go past the "Samsung" screen. I wiped the caches but it didn't work, did a Factory reset but no good either, then used ODIN to install a Custom ROM in it but ODIN gave errors and that didn't work either. Basically, there was an error displayed in TWRP "No OS Installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" I tried solving this following a Youtube tutorial. The guy flashed a Cyanogenmod in his phone using TWRP, I tried doing the same but TWRP gave an error " could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary in the ZIP file" . I extracted that file on my PC and it had only an md5 file in it"
Well I've been searching the internet a lot but haven't been able to find any S6 (920-F) Custom ROM which has a ZIP file that contains The META-INF folder (I'm not sure what it does) but I'll be really grateful if someone sends me a download link for it.
Or if there's some other solution for a problem then please help me out.
Thanks
Just got a new Lenovo s5 (k520 running ZUI 3.7.177 ST) but can't root it (tried KingRoot and Root Genius so far).
It has a nasty little OS (ZUI 3.7) which keeps killing apps it doesn't like. It took me two days to find an adblocker which would work (AdClear) after trying Dns66, Blokada and a couple of others which I can't recall. It's tightly locked down.
* Anyway, my question is... Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone or OS?
* Or, has anyone any suggestions for apps or rooting options which might be more successful?
If there's any other people out there with this phone, I would seriously consider chipping in to buy one for a dev to work with... give me a yell if you're interested.
Cheers,
Specs:
OS ZUI 3.7 (based on Android O)
CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa core
ROM 64GB
RAM 4GB
Edit: Hmmm, I was hoping that the latest Magisk beta (16.6) might help, but no luck. It does seem to get further along but fails with an 'unable to find boot image' message (my apologies for not being able to quote that accurately). Nothing seems able to find that .img. Can't back it up either as no app can find it. Yes, I need to brush up my adb skills ...my last effort ended in an error reporting lack of appropriate key, as I recall (sorry, have a bit of a flu just now). Anyway, has anyone else been able to look at this phone? Anyone have any ideas (or just thoughts) about what I can do here?
Thanks.
Just to update.... I have tried every simple rooting option I can find -with no luck.
I have found one reference to installing twrp & rooting this phone, but I'm unsure how legit it is ...it just looks a little like its put together by a script; but maybe they just copy/paste a lot when writing tutes? (I have written to them but have had no response from them in a week). The tutorial makes reference to a dev/group in China successfully installing twrp, but only on a Chinese release, not international.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of the group or people referenced at
http://tutoraplikasi.com/cara-root-lenovo-s5/
or if anyone might have an idea of the dev(s) in China working on twrp & lenovo?
Just a shot in the dark, really, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers.
OK, looks like time for some more serious reading and brushing up of old, much neglected skilz... I will probably close this thread and open another ( if there's no objections) in the xda twrp forum.
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to compile twrp for this device with a view to flashing magisk. Hopefully, it will work. Seems that adb & unlocking the bootloader is the only way I'm going to get to actually see the partitions holding the IMG files etc. (Though I do have one or two ideas about escalating privileges/permissions, but that's a whole other bunch of research -and time which is always short.)
Anyway, if you have an interest in rooting this phone have a look for a thread under twrp Q&A.
Cheers.
Seems like it was just a matter of waiting... XN Logos has come up with a solution, it appears --

At least I managed some in depth reading in the meantime. I'll report back on success of the procedure.
Hi I have also a Lenovo s5. I hated zui 3.7 too and I succeded in installing Lineage OS 15.1 by phh using only fastboot mode... I tried rooting It but unsuccessfully. Now I want twrp and if it would be possible even root. Did you succeed with XN Logos?

Haven't actually tried yet. After all that looking for a root solution I now have been too busy. Will probably do it this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. Did lineage work well? Any bugs or other issues? ZUI is a dog.
Yeah everything is okay... In the previous updates there was a problem with the audio in ear but now is solved. The only thing that is a little (but not dramatically) worse is battery life because in zui the fact that the os kills every app in background makes the battery last longer.
Hey guys, I know it is no the perfect thread for this yet this phone almost doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. I have the same issue with apps closing as you do. I wanted to install Lineage OS yet as there is no official release for lenovo S5. I would really appreciate some guidance on which release would I install and how. Would it be via the twrp? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm a lucky owner of this beautifull beast, the Lenovo S5 K520, but with the horfull ZUI3.7. I always have been using Cyanogen and after lineage OS.
It did not luck for me to install it on the Lenovo S5.
I manage to install TWRP-3.2.2-0713 with the help of the S-Droid toolkit for Lenovo S5.
From there, I did try every rom from phh on this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
but the best I did get is the first logo of lineage OS going on and never stop for hours. I also did try AOSP treble Rom from this site : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659, but there I'm getting the Android text changing of ligth theme, but bothing more.
Could you please tell us the procedure and the version of the software you are using so that you are able to use Lineage OS on a Lenovo S5 K520?
Thanks a lot.

Hi i did in this way...
1)fastboot -w
2)fastboot erase modemst1
3)fastboot erase modemst2
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase boot
6) fastboot erase recovery
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot flash boot boot.img
9) fastboot flash system {systemname}.img
The only thing you should do firstly is download the firmware from a video in YouTube whose name is like "ROM Lenovo s5" or something like that and extract the firmware in order to have both boot.img and recovery.img. Hope I could help
P.s. I used phh lineage latest build
Lenovo S5 global version stock rom
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if any of you have a copy of the original ZUI 3.7 non-Chinese stock firmware. I had trouble with my phone and contacted the customer service. Unfortunately, they've sent me the Chinese version (K520_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00011.0_O_ZUI_3.7.355_ST_180412_qpst) and now my phone is almost unusable as the rom only contains crappy Chinese stuff... :crying:
All apps are Chinese and it contains no GApps... I cannot even restore previously save config.
Please help me and send me a backup or the original non-Chinese firmware.
Thank you very much
I didn't even know the existence of an original firmware for non Chinese phones indeed when I bought it it came with a horrible chinese firmware with few translations. Did you find it? Because I want to try it too. If you didn't find it I'm also going to look for it
