Leagoo S8, ROM and rooting - General Questions and Answers

Hello
So i will get a Leagoo S8 phone next week, switching from a redmi note 3, and i am planing to root it instantly becouse i heard there are some bloatware apps and i will instal a custom rom onto the device.
Upon searching the forums and the interwebs i found no tutorials / resources that would lead me in the right direction. I did find a tutorial for Leagoo M8 ROM on here but will it work on S8?
So i hope anybody here can help me.
Cheers

Bootloader is locked. There are no solutions to grant root now.

I have a Leagoo T5c, and I found that option in Developer settings too, so if it is self-explanatory, then bootloader should be unlockable, right? I too would like to root my phone, but contrarily to the S8, that uses a MediaTek SoC, mine uses a brand-new SpreadTrum chip, and I'm not sure it can rooted at the moment.

updated mine from LEAGOO_S8_OS4.0_20171107 to LEAGOO_S8_OS4.0_20180227 and its working fine.
less heat, less lag, camera less grainy indoors (before was grainy but great outdoors, now its both great) curved display was fix(no need for rounder apps) but i was still unable to root the phone (would be great if it was rooted so i can remove apps rather than disable them and tune things up)

will this work for unlocking the bootloader? https://www.technoprotocol.com/unlock-bootloader-android-device-using-adb-fastboot/

will this work for unlocking the bootloader?
no

If a root solution is found for Leagoo S8 will it be possible to applied it to the Leagoo S8 Pro?

found this but not sure if this will work on our devices (leagoo s8,s8 pro) but if you have downloaded the firmware you may flash again if you bricked it. try at your own risked. it says there how to back up root and port twrp for ur device.

can you confirm if the boot-verified.img
inside the firmware of leagoo s8 that i download can be used for magisk to be patch and flash it through adb? thanks

From what Ive found, modifiing any of the boot or recovery files will screw up some verification, then youll have to format and flash the whole rom again possibly getting a NVRAM Warning error. So, does anyone know a way to verify(?) the edited files (boot.img -> build.prop(or default.prop?)), or any workaround? Also, I think that the bootloader kind of worked in the Leagoo OS version that came with the phone (althrough, I tried to unlock the bootloader then, it showed YES/NO and warnings like on any good phone, except that the YES selection did NOTHING, the bootloader stayed locked no matter what), havent you guys by any chance updated from Needrom?(I did) I think that the newer version had removed the bootloader completely. Someone should post the first stock rom version if you have it.

I think that in order to flash any modified files, we need to generate/verify all of the files.
Anyone any ideas? What file/s is/are the key to verifying flash files? Or is there a code somewhere in every flash file (recovery-VERIFIED.img, boot-VERIFIED.img)?
Why is Leagoo so damn good at making those things hard to unlock. As I said before, in the 1. version you could at least access (broken) fastboot, now the phone just turns off when accessing fastboot.

latest firmware with user debug possibly can extract root
latest firmware userdebug..possibly root solution can be extract..

Please need some help on stuck on boot huawei Y635-L21 :/

Dear xda community
My phone is as I mentioned huawei Y635-L21 , quadcore qualcomm snapdragon(1.2 Ghz * 4) processor with 1gb ram and 8gb rom.
let me tell you what happened. I recently rooted the phone with Kingroot(latest version). and I installed xposed and it says there is some problem with the rom and I did just as I saw in this forum to activate xposed on huawei phones by checking the option as I saw on xda forum. till then every thing was going fine until I installed xposed module and did some twiks. suddendly when I rebooted the phone it froze at the huawei logo. then I reset the phone and I was able to boot properly, I unistalled xposed this time the phone was doing fine until... I tried to make mx player a system app, when I was doing this.. and the screen becomes dark and the phone did not respond, I shut the phone and when I powered it, here we go again... back at the frozen logo . reset won't even help now!
the phone still has it's default recovery and locked bootloader, so I tried to update the software with "Huawei Y635-L03 and Y635-CL00" but not working(they are Update.app format). I will try with my version and let you know but If you have any Idea what to do with this and any suggestion will be welcomed , and what flashtool should I use?
Pleeeease
sorry for making it a history lesson!:good: thanks!
Has anyone found an alternative way to root the Y635, apart from Kingroot?
Huawei Y635 Bootloader
Download DC-Unlocker from website, follow all instructions, pay £5.00 or so to get your bootloader unlock code, will tell you on there website how to get this, use Minimal minimal adb & fastboot or search web to unlock Bootloader, hey presto.
---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------
P.s if you install Philz Touch Recovery 6 for the Huawei Y635 also through Minimal ADB & Fasboot after unlocking the Bootloader it gives you the option to install SU binary and root the phone in Philz Touch.

Thanks for the reply and info.
I already did that a couple of months ago when DC-Unlocker had a special offer to unlock all Huawei phones for free. It's Sim unlocked and I have the bootloader unlock code ready for when I bother trying to root it.
Not gotten around to rooting mine yet because it's not so terrible out of the box, it's the first time for me not to root a device within a couple of days of purchasing it, which says how good the Y635 is to not need to be tweaked so urgently.

I've done similar before with TWRP and CWM to root several other Huawei models, but never tried Philz Touch Recovery yet.
So did you actually root a Y635 using this method?
Huawei Y635 Bootloader & Root
Yes I did unlock bootloader & root this way as Huawei are pretty useless giving out bootloader codes via emails, I probbably got the only custom rom available atm for the Y635 which is the CarbonRom Cm11, google it, its on a spanish forum i think, runs very smooth, no problems, even changed the dalvik to ART runtime, lol, as for Philz Touch Recovery 6 again no problems at all, but yes it asked me if i wanted to Root inside the Philz touch, p.s Kingroot & Kingo root do not work either through APK or on Windows, tried & failed several times.

*Even if it did work, I don't consider Kingroot an option for rooting anything, it's a nasty way of doing it...

SM-J327U(nlocked) variant - unlocked bootloader, what now?

So I just picked this phone up from Best Buy, it was cheap and unlocked. Already have it working with a T-Mobile SIM. I'm somewhat new to Samsung devices, but I'm pretty sure this means it's an unlocked bootloader too.. In Developer Options there is a switch for "OEM unlock," which allowed me to flash TWRP built for the SM-J327P, ending up in a nice bootloop.
Anyway that's not the point, I used Samsung KIES to reflash a stock image and it's back to normal.
Assuming this bootloader is unlocked, what do I need to flash to get root? Does this mean I have to build TWRP myself?

if you want twrp refer to the user ashlyx she is a recognized developer here on xda and she may be more than happy to build twrp for your device. I have the cf_autoroot for your device you can flash with no problem. i will give you the link.

this is the permanent website for all things related to cf_autoroot. the old website is deprecated.
Funny you point me to that site, because I'm the one who uploaded that firmware yesterday. :laugh:
There already were images for the 327T, T1, and some others, but not the U.

You can use J327T one for some strange reason the j327U one doesn't work but if you just boot up into that one it should give you root
Can i flash this firmware on the j327T to bypass Google account FRP just like you can flash SM-950U1 firmware on the SM-950U to do the samething? Just a random thought.

New device : Gome K1

Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?
Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?
Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks
Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?
Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.
Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.
Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires :(

sprint s8 root

Note:
-Although your ui will will show 80%, you will be able to charge to 100%

How can I get back to G955USQU5CRIB firmware. I think I may have rooted too early. Sprint didn't unlock the phone yet and I'm unable to flash to verizon.
My original plan was to flash from Sprint to Verizon so the phone could be used on that carrier. However, I'm stuck with Sprint software and the phone, although rooted is still locked to Sprint.

The bootloader version is the 5th number from far end of your current firmware 3 or higher cannot be rooted and the only method is partcyborg rom
there is no downgrading or nothing
if you have to have root get another device
you cannot use cf auto root or flash twrp as we have locked bootloaders
if the bootloader gets unlocked then yes cf auto root and junk will work then

I haven't found anything. I'm on same Baseband Version. That #5, five numbers from the left seems to be a killer.

Yea, I've had it for so long stock, just upgraded to s10+ and decided to just keep this as a secondary because it's still solid, no a single issue
(long time root user, webOS, epic touch 4g, then all even galaxy S devices) root was so fun!
Thanks for the post my friend, maybe someday this version will be cracked

And there's no way to root without wiping data huh? I was hoping to just add root to my current device, I'll read up too though, I've been out of the root scene for a short bit

More than likely no. I swapped system images a few times. Kinda like dirty flashing and it worked. But errors begin to pile up. One can try. But more than likely user data will be corrupted

Yea, that's what I figured, if I had a better internet, I would start messing around, it takes forever to download anything for me, out in the cuts.. I like to have my Stock firmware files ready to go incase I need to fix a soft brick or something..
Anyhoo, thanks for the posts my friend, I appreciate it!

Official Android 10 for F907N

In case you guys know already, the android 10 has been released for the F907N
I cant find any thread for the F907N so I just opened a new one so that you guys can come and discuss!!!
Thanks!!!
what you think of the update so far
I can tell its good!!!
Very smooth, stable!!!
Especially the full screen gesture!!! No you can access the phone from any corner, any side of the phone (thanks to the One UI 2.1)
For the other aspects, android 9 is good already so this one just somehow improved it!!!
yes the performance is good, phone has become smoother and more buttery. I just wish I could have managed to get Samsung members for India and Samsung pay, I am in India and Korean language is something I dont understand,
anybody guide for rebrand 900n to inter rom, or just debloat korean apps is quite annoying
Hi all,
I already posted this query in another form, but maybe this form seems to be the right place.
I have the Korean version FOLD 5G SM-F907N. I am having problem in receiving 5G signal in UAE although all setup is done with coverage.
Will I be able to install the Stock Firmware? Which one I should install? is installing European version a possibility? (i.e. SM-F907B or others) or I will run the risk of bricking the device?

I would like to do the same too, tried to find info on this -- but nothing much on it. Does the Euro one also seem to get more monthly patches?
While I note the PDA is the same, we're one month behind on the patches as we speak. Also, Korean bloatware is annoying.
Did you have any luck?

First unlock its bootloader. Select OEM Unlocking from Settings → Developer Options, then reboot to Device Unlock mode to actually unlock the bootloader. This will have the side-effect of resetting the device.
unzip the downlaoded file and flash through odin. and then install Magisk application for root.

How To Unlock Bootloader of Samsung Galaxy Fold
Open your device settings and head towards the about phone section
There click on the built number for 6-7 times until the pop up shows “You are a Developer now”
Now in your smartphone’s settings open Developer options
In the Developer, option menu look for the OEM unlocking
Switch the OEM unlocking ON and switch off your device
While switched off try to reboot your phone into the download mode by pressing and holding the power and volume down button for sometime
Once in the download mode, long-press the volume up button, this will unlock your bootloader
Now if you wish to install a custom ROM on your device you have to bypass the Vaultkeeper security, to do so go through the initial setup
Enable developer options again from the settings, and verify that the OEM unlocking option still exists and switched on! The VaultKeeper service will automatically remove the conditions from the bootloader after it verifies that the user has enabled the OEM unlocking option.
Now your custom firmware will be installed easily and your bootloader will be unlocked finally.
While switched off try to reboot your phone into the download mode by pressing and holding the power and volume down button for sometime
Once in the download mode, long-press the volume up button, this will unlock your bootloader
Not working for me. In download mode when long press volume up key nothing happen
