Hello,
Ususally, when I want to root a new device I do the following:
1. starts with rootking, and similar application.
2. search google for custom rom.
I would like therefore to ask: Is there a better way to do it ? maybe using twrp ? or do it manually by modifying filesystem and bootloader ?
If someone have more experience and can help with it, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
ranran

Why I cant even downloading and updating my apps in my device, is that because of my device is root? Tell me about superSU details and uses of superSU
Hi,
If you have a specific issue, you will need to be more clear on the issue and provide more details.
As far as what "rooting" actually is, Here's a good explanation I found .. .

Hi,
Is it possible to find a way to root from already rooted devices? It may sound weird, but I got a rooted device from one who did not provide how to do it. Since I have another device which I want to root, I hope there is any way to extract some pieces of information.
It is not a typical device with customized bootloader. I can extract some files like hacked system apps but it should be not enough. Any suggestion or advice?
Best,

Are the two devices the same? If not then, no, the other rooted device won't help you.
To find how to root the device you want to root, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"

Yes, they are exactly the same. And obviously the reason why I'm asking here is there is no information on Google.
After researching, I'm pretty sure that eMMC hacking is the only probable way that does not depend on a specific/unknown device. As it's been done with Amazon TV here (http://solderwiresandplastic.com/20...the-amazon-firetv-to-achieve-root-privileges/).

Careful, the android on TVs and TV sticks/boxes isn't quite the same as android on phones and tablets.
If the other device is rooted and is identical you can try using adb to pull a copy of the system.img from the rooted device. Then use adb to push the rooted system.img to the non rooted device. Or use fastboot to flash the rooted system.img onto the non rooted device.
What is the model number of your non rooted device? Is the rooted device the exact same model number? Or does it have the same device name but different model number? I'll make sure there are no device specific things that you need yo know about that might cause issues.
Rooting by directly interfacing with eMMC is a very extreme method that is very rarely used.

Thanks for the reply. But I'm not that ignorant to try exactly the same method for TV to other devices or to be confused with model numbers or so. Usual rooting methods are not applicable in this case, for even USB communication is blocked intentionally for security reasons. If I could use adb to connect to the device, I would not ask this kind of question.
I know hardware hacking is very extreme, and devices whose rooting method is unknown usually require such extreme methods. Of course, I won't try to modify eMMC myself because it's too risky. On the other hand, it looks quite easy and promising compared to unusual rooting methods, e. g. hacking firmware update routine to penetrate system files.
Hi guys,
I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone has a Leagoo T5 and might be able to help with rooting it, ideally without flashing the OS?
I'm worried about bricking the phone, which is why I'd rather just root the current OS if possible. My current OS version is: OS2.1_E_20181025
I'd looked at many of the well know root tools, like KingRoot, KingoRoot and OneClickRoot, but so far none of these offically support this device.
So, has anyone successfully rooted this phone with the default OS, and if so, which rooting tool did you use?
Note - My goal is to install an app (needs root access) that can prevent the phone from charging over 80%, to boost the battery's lifespan if left to charge.
hi
I hope you find your happiness here

Hi, thanks for your reply.
So, is it not possible to root Android without flashing the device first?

Unfortunetly YES
hi i was wondering if any of you know about this phone (krono net titan) and if it is even rootable (is that even a word) or if i can even install twrp in it (sorry for my broken english)
Hint: Change this thread's title to Krono Net Titan - how to root / TWRP? thus mainly owners of such a device get addressed for helping you.
Hello the phone is rooteable. But it is very difficult to do it because you need to create a custom recovery for it and get the firmware is impossible (because krono only gives the firmware to technicians). I have already unlocked the bootloader but I need the firmware to create a twrp custom recovery using twrpdtgen (here is the site if you want to see "https://github.com/twrpdtgen/twrpdtgen") and root it using magisk. My phone hardware is mt6580 if you have the same hardware I can help you with it when I get the firmware.
Please do move this to the correct thread, as I am new here.
So, as I stated in the title, I need help rooting this phone. I am familiar with rooting, flashing and all of that. But there is a huge problem with this phone, as I am unable to find the stock rom of it anywhere on the internet. There are no guides, either. It's like this phone doesn't even exist.
Another thing is, that this phone was modified in my country to be called "A1 Alpha 20", it's the basic version, not the Plus one. I'm pretty sure there are guides for the Plus one... But the name/model is Alcatel 3L (2020) 5029Y. The phones are the same, I'm pretty sure the Alcatel 3L rom would work fine on it, too. They have the same specs as well.
It's a pretty solid phone, with good specs, not sure why nobody is talking about it. Even my older phone, Samsung J5, has a ton of guides, and of course, I installed TWRP on it and rooted it a year ago. It's working good, even to this day.
So, I'm asking for your help here, I need tips on how to root this phone. I want to know if it's possible pulling the stock firmware out of it, or just rooting it without TWRP? I can't find TWRP for it either, I'm afraid there is nothing I will be able to do for now. I have access to ADB tools and a PC, if I can maybe do something with these. I enabled OEM unlocking without having to format which means that my bootloader was unlocked? If so, could that make pulling stock images easier???
Please help me out. Thank you. For any additional information (model, build number, all info that I can pull out using applications and such) just let me know and I will tell you.
To add root functionality to Android all you have to do is to replace existing ( restricted ) Toybox binary by an unrestricted version, like Toybox 0.8.5.
