Leagoo Elite 1 Root/TWRP/SuperUser
I give no guarantee for this to work and take no responsibility for any damage you do to your phone, I have this working 100% on my Leagoo Elite 1 that shipped with version 1013 of firmware.
Installed from Windows 7, I make no claims on other versions of Windows.
REQUIREMENTS:
Functioning brain
ADB Installed correctly (Guides on XDA)
VCOM Drivers (Comes with SP Flash Tool)
SP Flash Tool ( http://spflashtool.com/ )
Stock Rom ( http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-elite-1/ )
TWRP Recovery from this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63692847&postcount=85 ) (Thanks to yankeeboy)
KingoRoot ( https://www.kingoapp.com/ )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUIDE:
Firstly, BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE!!!
Flashing any rom will wipe all data from the phone. If there is anything you want to keep, take note of it now and back it all up! If you do not know how to do this, either turn back now, or go find a guide for it.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS AT LEAST 60% CHARGED SO IT DOES NOT DIE AND BRICK ITSELF WHILE FLASHING
Step 1 - Install/extract all programs mentioned above (ADB, VCOM, SP Flash, KingoRoot) and download Stock Rom and TWRP Recovery. Extract stock rom and twrp recovery from their zip/rar into their own folders.
Step 2 - SETTING UP FOR ROOT
-Open up Sp Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe(run as admin to be safe if applicable))
-Click download tab up the top
-Click Scatter-Loading button
-Navigate to "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" in the extracted ROM folder
-All sections in the table should fill out with files (If they don't, ensure the rom was extracted properly)
-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool
-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL
-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC
-Boot into Android to make sure all is well
Step 3 - PUSHING TWRP RECOVERY TO PHONE
-Open up SP Flash Tool again and it should load up the previous scatter file (If not, simply navigate to the same txt file mentioned in the last section)
-Uncheck all the boxes to make sure you don't reflash the whole Rom
-Click the box underneath LOCATION and across from RECOVERY
-Navigate to the "recovery.img" extracted from the TWRP zip/rar
-Double check the recovery box is the only one checked
-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool
-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL
-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC
-Boot into Recovery (Volume Up + Power) to make sure all is well
-Set language if required and reboot back to system (DO NOT INSTALL SUPERSU IF IT ASKS FROM HERE)
Congratulations you now have TWRP Recovery.
Step 4 - ROOT WITH KINGO ROOT
-Connect phone to PC
-Go to phone settings, "General Setting", "About Phone", Tap "Build Number" until it says you are now a developer
-Hit back, go to Developer Options, Turn on USB Debugging and go back to home screen
-Run Kingo Root on PC
-Kingo Root should detect your phone accurately and tell you what to do from here to finish the root
-Wait potentially a VERY long time for everything to install depending on your PC/Internet connection
-If you see a blue app with a tick on your phone screen, then root is good!
-Go to your phone dialer and dial *#*#3646633#*#*
-Swipe right to the "Log and Debugging" tab
-Tap User2Root then Root
-Get "BusyBox" app from Play Store and install busybox (this may not be 100% necessary but makes sure all is installed correctly)
Phone is now rooted, check with any root checker if desired

From here it is easy to do anything like install Xposed framework and mads etc.
For the Leagoo Elite 1 you will want this version of the framework or a later update of the SDK 22/ARM64 version http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm64/xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64.zip
Just flash using Flash Fire, there are many tutorials for how to do this.
hello, i own a leagoo elite 1 and theres a virus (downloaded via playstore, and grand permitted by mistake) . i used custom recovery to wipe everything, format, flash new rom , etc and virus is still there every time i boot. its a clock wallpaper that comes up and dont let you use touch screen or see behind it.
any idea how to get off this thing?
(i dont even know its name,and no antivirus can even notice it. it was installed as an unroot app via playstore
thanks
Hey mate, sounds like it has made its way into your recovery and is getting through that way. Have you tried using SP Flash Tool to flash a stock rom and stock recovery?
If that doesn't work, or you have tried that already, see if you can reroot, and then freeze the app with Ice Box off the Play Store.
Hope that helps.
hi, thanks for your reply.
i can root , ive done this many times afrer flashing new firmware (stock with stock recovery) to check if virus might be removed, but the main thing is that i dont know the name of virus to remove, or to change its permissions.
i download an unroot tool via playstore. by mistake i gave su permission, and then the phone reboot and stuck in leagoo logo.
after i flash again stock firmware, the virus is always there but i cannot see any app that seems to be the virus....
i root many times via kingoroot without any custom recovery or flashing su via fastboot.
i also yesterday flash custom recovery, and wipe system, and almost everything, but when flashing stock firmware , virus is there.
is there any custom firmware to try?
thanks

could you please upload system folders , priv apps folders screenshots (or any screen**** you might think virus might be located, so i can check with my leagoo folders?
please refer to your firmware version so i flash the same and then check.
thanks
Hmmm without knowing which app from the Play Store it was that did this, I don't think I'll be able to help much. If a full flash (system/data/recovery/everything) and wiping dalvik cache etc. hasn't stopped it I'm at a loss for what to do. If you can, try and find the name of the app and I'll look into it
I am using the ROM stated in my guide from NeedRom "X5601_OTD_ELITE_5365U_V1.3.1_S1019-s7yler" direct link to download here: Leagoo Elite 1 ROM V1.3.1 S1019
Try flashing this rom in full if this isn't the one you were using. It works 100% on my phone, no issues at all since install.
i used an "unroot" app (there are two in playstore that comments say that bricked phone) it might be one of them, but theres no unroot app in my phone. its hidden i think...
the rom that you use is a custom one? i have to try a custom one to see if something fix this thing.
i wipe everything, i resize, change format to sd, internal sd, system etc, but its still there.
the only thing that i see in recovery after wipe system, is that i have 3 mb used in system after format system and wipe system. well is there a way to format system via adb ..?
im suspicious about theese three megabytes...
thanks
first of all thank u for instructions on how to instal custom recovery
few months ago i was able to root my phone with kingroot,tried 2 or 3 times before succes
then i did unroot because phone display died and i didnt want to mess with guarantee so i unrooted phone, now when it came back from fixing i didnt manage to root with kingroot even with desktop version, i did everything like u said in instructions and everything is ok but when i try to root, on 75% phone restarts and i get message root failed, i noticed that kingroot app doesnt recognize my phone when i connect it as usb storage but only as mtp device, could that be a problem?
and yeah i managed one time to gain root access when phone restarted, kingo finished his job to 100% and said that it have root access now but when i restart phone it gets stuck on leagoo screen and wont boot.
i entered recovery to try clearind dalvik/cache, phone opened me stock recovery (i flashed philz and it was working when i checked for success) is there anyone who had this issue and how can i fix it, i really need root because of things like cpu control,battery consumption is really big on stand by
for 2400mah battery even a clock is big consumptor
cheers
Edit: cause i did this process few times im not sure that i did that thing with phone dialer code, is it crucial for this. i didnt think it is cause first time i rooted my phone i didnt know about that and it worked for me without it

All kind time of day. I apologize in advance for my English. I use a translator. Please help. Some time ago I tried to install root on my phone Leagoo Elite 1. I on XDA forum advised to install the firmware version S1019 I did all the instructions but the phone does not start at all. Not respond to any buttons. I tried to reflash the phone to another firmware version. All versions that I tried just successfully installed but the phone still did not want to run. The only firmware version that ran the phone version S161210. But this version runs very slow. Please give me some advice what should I do?

No sound after flashing phone
Hi all,
A couple of days ago I flashed Leagoo Elite 1 with the latest rom. After flashing the phone loudspeaker stopped working. I've downloaded the original rom from Leagoo website (stock rom) and tried to flash the phone again but still don't have sound on loudspeaker.
Just to mention that sound is working when I use the headphones. I guess problem is in problematic firmware.
Any advice how to fix this?
Thanks
I rooted my phone, everything was going fine. Last night the 3 buttons at the bottom stopped working. Now I want to visit service center to fix that but as my phone is rooted, I uninstalled the KingRoot in the process to unroot. Now Root checker is showing no root access.
But one problem is still there, on boot screen it shows =>root text. And even after unroot its still there. Any solutions??
you have it falsh it with stock rom
search it in google and install it using sp flash tool

Remove root text from boot screen
Hello,
Hard reset your device. once your device is ready then download flash ROM and flush using SP tool. this trick works for me.
thank you !
I am trying to root my Android Phone (ZTE Grand Memo Lite) using Kingroot PC then suddenly the PC turned off.
I tried to root it again but it doesnt work anymore, even Iroot, Kingo Root and their android versions, but none of them worked.
Can this be possibly the system is damaged? or How to fix this? :crying:
Hi !
It could be that the device have suffered a softbrick
Try to flash the factory firmware and if still doesn`t work , the next step would be a service center , the motherboard might be affected
Cheers !
So I bought an Acer A1-840FHD off of Letgo, and when I got it it had been fully working, but I was unhappy with all of the bloatware that came with it. So I had rooted it and uninstalled all of the bloatware, but I guess my root wasn't correct because it started to restart every time I put it in sleep mode and tried to wake it up. I uninstalled the root and then I did a full factory reset but that didn't solve the issue. Now I can't use it because it crashes doing anything. I would like to install the stock ROM, but I can't find a tutorial or a download for the ROM anywhere on the internet. Can someone help me please? The OS it's running is Android 4.4.2
EDIT - Restarted PC, ran kingoroot again, fixed the issue
Hi All,
Ok, I have been trying to figure out what I have done wrong here, but after about 4 hours or troubleshooting, I'm at a loss.
I rooted the device using kingoroot, transferred to supersu and then activated the option for supersu to start at boot. This put me in a bootloop on the fire orange logo.
After reading about unbricking the device, I realised I needed to flash the stock image via adb sideload. I picked up the stock image for 5.6.1.0 (which is what it was on) from the rooting page link, and now kingoroot is failing.
Can someone help me out with this please as its driving me mad. Thanks
