So i was thinking that we dont have any thread to this device so i made this.
Can someone help me to unlock bootloader to this beatiful device. i cant get it open.
when im trying to unlock it with the code(adb or flashtool) it gives me error saying "command not allowed" i have tried many times and re installing the drivers and tried different os and nothing helps.
tried to make some research from google etc like stackflow but just cant find nothing. i have the imei right and everything. and tried to unlock with the sonys dev site. and i did out the device as e4g or e4. nothing
command not allowed
to my device xperia e5 f3311 but it also writes in the service menu * # * # 7378423 # * # * service info\configuration is line "rooring status:" bootloader unlock alloved: yes
I'm now looking for a custom recovery for my xperia e5 f3311 and install an supersu.zip and rooting proces is complete but

Hey, does the root works with your method?
If this work how do you proceed for that (Install CWM and install super su ?)?
Thanks

aint gonna happen. none of the tools doesnt support mtk 6735 with android 6.0. so we should have rooted phone to get recovery.img so i think that our only hope is to wait that kingroot or something will work on our device
You don't need to wait for the Kingroot as it is not possible to root locked bootloader with drm-verify enabled.
What You need is to create recovery.img to flash on /recovery partition (it should exist, as Sony started to adding them before E5).
There are autotools for MTK devices (they create recovery for specific SoC/CPU not model), but I'm not sure if it is safe to flash on Sony firmware as it is different than generic firmware used on standard (Chinese) devices.
Than using it should be possible to root it by flashing SuperSU zip.

The proplem is that cant get the recovery.img out from anywhere :/
So there's still no way to root this phone ? I really need to install Viper4Android on it ^^
Hey,
I saw the "Dirty Cow" fault on the Linux systems.
I also saw that fault should works on Android, I will see if I can root my device with that
I will be back soon

Have you managed to root your device?
I've been trying to make a working cwm or twrp recovery, but I need to extract the stock recovery.img to do so.
And that requires root.
Can you send me a dm if you managed to root it with the dirty cow exploit? Thanks.

I'm not certain that can work but it should if Sony didn't correct this fault, else I will always can recover via FlashTool to a factory version.

Can you check if it works?
I just need a confirmation that you got your phone rooted safely with that fault, then I'll start working on twrp and hopefully we'll have our first rom on this device soon.
But since I recently bought this phone and I can't get my pc to work (for flashtool, in case anything goes wrong), I need someone to test if the dirty cow fault still works on our devices.
If you have time, please check it out.
Hey,
I try but I need to install a tool called "NDK" for the "NDK-Build" command
I'm progressing
I am waiting for a miracle. I also installed Kingroot and in it I found that in 1497 people have applied for root so that we are not alone. ?
Hey there,
I've managed to set up fastboot and finding alternative drivers to work on our device.
Finally, I can now use adb with full fastboot access.
I've also managed to unlock my bootloader, so now I will have to find a recovery that will work on our mediatek 6735 chipset, build based on API 23 (marshmallow).
If necessary, I can try to port cwm from some different device.
When we have a working recovery, we can most likely flash anything, so I might make a prerooted version of the stock firmware.
Expect the first development for this device any soon.
Edit1: Due to health reasons, I might have to delay this for a week, my appologies.
I'm sorry I don't have the time to exploit the Dirty Cow fault (lot of Home Work) and I don't have the knowledges that I need :/
I hope @mrmarvin_16 will got the root access (Thanks a lot )
Hello. Excuse me for my English writing through translayte google. I am writing with Russian Forum 4PDA. We were able to unlock bootloader is a link to my post on this forum 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=753685&st=160#entry54277601 . And TWP recovery we also gathered, the download link yadi.sk/d/Vq0jgohxymPCG . Problem Only here we do not know how to sew it into the phone itself.
I flash recovery but i dont have boot to recovery menu
And as you flashed? I just have all the time an error in piercing through ADB.

Too risky. Not even kernel level, hardware level modding might end up very bad as samsung loves their efuse. Bootloader never downgrades, flashing unsigned bootloader file can easily brick motherboard completely.

Hello everyone.
I have decided to install a GSI on my Samsung A7 (2018) SM-A750G cos' with the stock firmware the power button does not work (but when installing a GSI the button works fine, and I have no idea why this happens XD).
The point is that I previously had a GSI installed but due to an error I bricked my phone, which led me to reinstall the stock firmware (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a7-2018/firmware/#SM -A750G) using Odin, and later a GSI using TWRP. But now when I install the GSI my device remains in bootloop. It should be noted that the stock firmware does boot correctly, but the problem is exactly when installing the GSI (with the no-verity and RMM Bypass patches used).
The guides I tried are these:

Hi, try install GSI from FOX Recovery, then swithch back to TWRP.
The TWRP is older, so it dont support Android 10. I had similar problems with bootloader on bit 4 for android 10.

TWRP is not required in order to root the MaxWest Nitro 5P. In fact, you could not root it using TWRP even if you wanted to. This device ships with Android 9 Pie Go Edition and is fully Project Treble supported. Also, like many devices of its kind with a System-as-Root (SAR) configuration, this phone has no boot-ramdisk. The only workaround to attain root is to patch the ramdisk in the recovery image and flash the patched image to /recovery versus the typical /boot partition. This effectively enables Magisk to hijack the recovery partition. Thus, the tricky part. In order for root to be properly installed, the phone must manually be booted to recovery mode during each and every reboot. However, it won't actually boot into recovery mode due to Magisk hijacking the /recovery partition. It will boot into the Android OS with Magisk systemless root installed. If you choose to boot the phone normal, it will still boot into Android, but without Magisk installed. This is rather unorthodox and inconvenient but it remains the only solution for these devices with no boot-ramdisk. For more info on Magisk running in recovery, see the official GitHub documentation here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
TWRP is not compatible with this type of install and will cause a bricked device. Simply unlock the bootloader, patch the stock recovery image with Magisk, and flash the patched image to the recovery partition via fastboot. Boot to recovery mode during the next and every subsequent reboot. I am presently drafting a rooting guide on this device and I will post my link here when finished, for anybody needing instructions.
The OP of this thread originally requested info on root for purposes of possibly installing a custom ROM. Indeed, there are a few Treble GSI ROMs compatible with the Nitro 5P (ARM, A-Only). However, you do not need to have a rooted OS in order to install GSI custom ROMs, but only an unlocked bootloader. I will compile some resources for compatible GSI Treble ROMs and list this info in my rooting guide coming soon. TWRP isn't needed for GSI installation. Everything can be done in AP Fastboot Mode. I am not certain if MaxWest Telecom has released the kernel source code for the Nitro 5P. I will research this. This code will be required for the compiling of custom ROMs such as LineageOS & Pixel Experience. It is likewise needed for TWRP to be built from source.
No problem. I'm certainly not saying that TWRP cannot be booted or even installed on the Nitro 5P. I'm only stating that under no circumstances can the Nitro 5P (in its stock configuration, at least) be rooted using TWRP. The only root solution -- due to the boot image being devoid of a ramdisk -- is the method I outlined above. Now, if someone compiled a custom boot image with integrated ramdisk, this would certainly change matters. Out of curiosity, have you tried flashing TWRP to the /recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img? Or, in the alternative, you can replace the stock recovery image with TWRP by decompiling the .pac firmware package, repack the .pac archive, and flash TWRP using the Spreadtrum Flash Tool. I'm just curious as to whether anybody has tried that.

Magisk is the only supported root solution for this devices

Scroll down until you reach the installation heading titled "Magisk in Recovery." Follow those steps and you will attain root on your Nitro 5p. In a nutshell, you will be patching a stock recovery image versus a stock boot image. Magisk will be able to hijack the /recovery partition and enable systemless root on the Android OS.

Keep in mind that you rarely ever need to be rooted in order to install a custom ROM. However, you will need a custom recovery and the custom ROM itself. To the best of my knowledge, no custom ROMs have been ported to, or compiled for, the Maxwest Nitro 5p. However, the Nitro 5p is Project Treble supported, meaning you can boot and install a Generic System Image (GSI). There are a nunber of custom GSI ROMs available here on XDA, which have been build by various developers. This is a link to several GSI ROMs built from some of the more popular custom ROMs, i.e. HavocOS, LineageOS, ArrowOS, PixelExperience and others. These are available both with and without GApps, in both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

I've tried unlocking the bootloader with no success.
For members having difficulties unlocking the Nitro 5P bootloader, you need to use the Token Identifier method typical to Unisoc (Spreadtrum) devices. There is a comprehensive YouTube guide on the process.
You will need a modified fastboot tools build, A Linux PC (or Windows PC running Ubuntu Live), and ADB Debugging/OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options. Links for the files you will need can be found here https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only viable method for unlocking the bootloader on the Nitro 5p.

I had trouble originally but a fellow xda member ma
I had trouble but someone here made a token for me. I'm bl unlocked for sure. I'm going to try to magisk root this weekend. The specs are poor on this device (nitro 5p) but is gsi/treble compatible . So I plan on trying that but in the end I'll prob just debloat stock to be as vanilla as I can and also add custom audio.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Viper4Android FX with the NEON audio drivers works quite nice on the 5p. A good debloating and some build.prop tweaks to optimize RAM efficiency and responsiveness made a big difference for me. You can also add a line to build.prop to disable the boot animation during boot up, which speeds up boot time considerably. Use Kernel Adiutor-Mod (APK available here on XDA) to enable Touch Boost under CPU settings and change the CPU Governor to Performance. Set I/O scheduler parameters to a 512 KB read-ahead on internal storage, using the noop scheduler preset. Set SELinux to permissive mode as well and use the Low Memory Killer (LMK) preset of Very Aggressive. In the ZRAM options, ensure Swappiness is set to 100.
Keep in mind that when rooting, you will need to install Magisk to run in recovery versus the typical boot.img patching.
