Hi,
I recently got my phone reset accidentally and some important images got deleted. Phone details:
Infinix Hot 4, Android version 7
Build number: X557-H807AD-N-171110V163
Model: Infinix X557.
Kernel Version 3.18.35+
I looked into recovery software and thought I'd give Dr fone (PC) a go. It successfully recognised the device and started the one-step root & recovery process. However, after a couple of minutes, it stopped with a message that it can't root this phone model and I should do it manually.
Hence, I have researched rooting of Infinix X557 and for my particular case of Android 7 I believe the following guide would work:
w**.techvilaz.com/2017/05/how-to-root-infinix-hot-4-after.html
I haven't rooted my phone yet, as I know that the consequences shall not be favourable and until I unroot the phone it won't receive updates. Therefore, I am thinking of inquiring if anyone knows how to unroot my phone once it is rooted. I will then root my device, recover files and then unroot it.
Any help relevant to my case of Infinix X557 Android 7 will be much appreciated. Please note that it has already been 25 days since my phone resetted and I am not left with much time to recover my data. I have asked on so many other forums but no luck. Please help!!!

Hello there!
I'd like to ask anyone for help regarding the rooting of my phone.
So far i have tried every program available like vroot,kingoroot,srsroot,framaroot and many others i dont remember,but no luck!
All of them have failed to root my phone.I ve installed the phone drivers on my pc and im running windows 8.1 on my laptop if that makes any difference.i also have usb debugging on.
The only time it worked, was with root genius but only for 5 minutes, then it unroots itself again.
So if you have any ideas please share,i only want to remove the bloatware that came with my phone.
Thank you
Did you have any success?
I have just been given one of these god awful phones for work,
seems that we are stuck with 4.22 android, which is a shame because the work related apps the company bought me the phone to use, won't run on 4.22 and all the developers of the app say is that I need to upgrade to Android 5
Rooting Huawei y330 u-01
Though this problem has taken a while now, it is possible to root your Huawei Ascend y330 u-01 using the kingo root option as at 4th December, 2015 :highfive:. I am not quite sure if rooting via phone works, but the results are impressive through the PC version. Unlike before where rooting restarts the phone unexpectedly and fails, support for Huawei y330 u-01 is now available for kingo root users. However, at the time of writing this piece, though root is successful, it is easily lost when you allow an application to access the root for a couple of times. Therefore, you should use this access immediately otherwise you will have to wait again for the kingo root program to root your phone again.
Hello, I really need an expert who can help me to root my device, it comes pre-rooted. Im trying to fix this for couple of days and cannot manage, I unrooted the device from SuperSu in the settings>full unroot
My phone is a Meizu Pro 5 with Flyme OS 5.1.2.0G that I installed following this guide (guide-how-to-install-i-international-firmware-on-your-chinese-mainland-meizu) when I had root acces. It originally came with Flyme OS 4.5.4.2I.
Now I need root access again and it seems impossible to get it, I tried recovering the telephone and changing the OS back to the original but nothing seems to help, maybe some of you know how to manually re-root the phone?
Thank you all very much for your time.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I was watching
Some youtube videos on hoe to root your phone, I thought it would work because of how many likes the video got. I did not know about devices being bricked at this time. So i downloaded kingroot and attempted root. It said root successful, so i plated around with some rooted apps then I tried to restart my phone it showed this. Yellow triange (Custom Binary Blocked by FRP) I regretted everything. Then I got a new phone, same brand. 5 months after having the phone my friends told me that they rooted their device and it didnt get bricked, I was told if i use the newest version of kingroot i wouldnt get bricked, so of course I tried to root, GOT BRICKED AGAIN ?. A week after my 2nd phone got bricked there was this mothersday sale in T-Mobile, so i got an LG K7 for 96 bucks. Right now I have this bestfriend who has the same phone as me (LG K7) and he said he rooted it with no problems, not bricked. nothing. Right now im struggling if I should root or not. Is it only Samsung devices that can get blocked by the FRP? Help!!

Hello Seniors: Complete newbie here. Pardon my ignorant question, but I would truly appreciate if you can please assist.
I have bought a new S7 (SM-G930F). want to root the device but have no clue as to what it takes. Have some questions -
(a) Are rooting and flashing rom two different things ?
(b) Does flashing rom mean installation of a new OS for the device ?
(c) I just wish to root the device. Want to have Super SU access. I do not want to remove stock OS and install install any other OS on the device. How can I achieve that ?
(d) I recall someone rooted S5 few years ago, everything went okay for few months, but then the rooted device started popping messages like Google Update service disabled quite frequently. Is this something that happens on a properly rooted device ?
I would truly appreciate your help.
- Alex.

Hello and Welcome to XDA-developers!
(a) Rooting is the process made in order to have ROOT access on device and Flashing is exactly the same as "Installing"
(b) Yes and No. You can flash a new rom (new OS) or you can flash an update of your current rom.
(c) HERE you have some information on how root your device. If you have any douts about it just ask it there, there are plenty users that can help you.
(d) This can be/not be related to root access
Report if you have more doubts and have fun! :good:
I've rooted and used custom ROMs on past phones such as the Samsung Galaxy series but now I am the owner of a very niche phone in the form of the Doogee N20 and I was wondering how to go about rooting it successfully without the help of a large user-base that has already figured it all out beforehand?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Afaik rooting methods are pretty universal. You need to patch a file called "boot.img" and flash it to your device with fastboot.
To patch it you need magisk canary. And to flash it you need fastboot and your phone's drivers.
Here is a video doing this on a OnePlus 8 :
You can try it yourself and see if it works. It seems you're not new to rooting, custom ROM install so you know the classic disclaimer "I'm not responsible for your phone, you did it, not me..."
Good luck.
(I personally didn't try this method since my phone is 5 year old and rooted from the beginning, but this new way of doing it is pretty convient)
