Heya!
I was wondering if there are any existing tools or information about rooting Infinix Hot 11s? I've tried searching for anything related to it and I've seen a couple of threads with information about rooting old Infinix phones here, but to my understanding there isn't one related to this particular model.
It's powered by a Helio G88 processor and the operating system is a modified Android build called XOS. Full phone specs are here for anyone curious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rooting Android means installing a ~100KB piece of software ( SU-binary ) on it.
So either push a matching SU-binary onto Android filesystem or replace the pre-installed ( restricted ) version of Toybox with a matching unrestricted one, wil say with one that has SU-cmdlet incorporated.

Hi, thanks for the response!
I understand, but how would I go about doing that with this particular phone? Because to my understanding, I need TWRP, I haven't found a TWRP version for my phone and I fear using a TWRP build from other phones or older Infinix phone models might brick it. If ever I have to port TWRP, is there some sort of guide for me to follow so I can try making a build of TWRP that works with this?
Thanks!
To add a suitable SU-binary to Android's filesystem TWRP in NO case is needed: you do it via ADB.
Example:
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION_OF_SUITABLE_SU_BINARY_ON_PC> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"
I recently bought this phone and is looking for a way to root it safely as i want to remove bloatware and use some apps that need root (like screenrecording without microphone and just internal audio, i heard that needs the magisk module?)
is there a way to root it preferably without a pc and i dont want to wipe my data unless really necessary, i have also unlocked the oem bootloader from dev options as this phone uses a custom version of android 10 (xos dolphin 7.0), processor is mediatek helios something as far as i know, just for reference

Hey! I tried following what you said, but unfortunately it did not work. I found a thread with instructions quite similar to what you posted: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/universal-guide-root-any-android-device-manually.2684210/
The original poster said that this method no longer works. Is this true?

the 2 lines of code shown above by me always worked for me, at any Android version - at least up to Android 10, and should work on Android 11, too
also do any of you have links to the stock rom for infinix hot 11s nfc? I bricked my phone trying to install the wrong twrp for this phone. Thanks.
So, any luck in rooting Hot 11s? This xos skin is driving me nuts. Always closing background processes, and sometimes even foreground process. We desperately need a twrp for this device.
Here is how to do it
Download your phone's latest firmware (the one you are running ) extract the boot.img from it and put it in your internal storage and install magisk from github
Press install in it and it would prompt you flashing a boot.img do that
Then copy the patched img to your pc
Then in platform-tools (search for it on google) click on the address bar then type cmd
From there type in (adb reboot bootloader) make sure your usb debugging is on
Then when it reboots to fastboot
Type (fastboot flash boot *your patched boot.img*)
That's exactly how i rooted my phone and i have an infinix hot 10s
And this method is universal
I want to install custom ROM on my infinix hot 11s, PLEASE someone work on it. HELP US!
We need developer support for infinix hot 11s please someone make TWRP and custom rom for it
Me to, please anyone develop custom rom and twrp for infinix hot 11s

Hey! If you successfully do that method, do you know how to fix the problem "<waiting for any devices>" in fastboot? Is it because of the driver for my device or other cases? Thank you in advance.

Hey there,
I just received a H60-L02 shipped from Mainland China. Being on OS X, I had no trouble installing adb and unlocking the boot loader.
There is something I don't understand though : to gain root access on my phone, I need to install a modified ROM of Huawei's android upper layer ? Why is that so ? Do I need to find a ClockWordMod H60-L02 EMUI 3.0 Rom to root my H6 ?

Thanks, but I can't do that, insofar as I can't run .exe on OS X. Also, I'm trying to understand the basic concepts of rooting on android, in order not to **** things up by doing things I would do on other linux distribs. From what I get, rooting is installing a modified ROM in which everyone is a superuser ?

rooting is getting superuser access to any rom, if you take a look at the batch file, there is a link where you can download twrp, put it in the same directory where fastboot and adb files are
Code:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_h60.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices
Ok it works. From what I get, twrp is a manager that enables you, once the boot loader is unlocked, to flash whatever you want on your android system. So you flash SuperSu, and it is done.
Thanks a lot for your help and explanations !:good::good::good:
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

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.

Hey,

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.
Hey,
I didn't find time to try this exploit but the thing I should do is just install the package dirty cow for android (released on github) and after use the "run-as" command for install super su...
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 )

Theres no Kernel Posted here for the latest Oreo Build . I suggest You downgrade to 7.1.1 so that you can download Xposed Modules and Also performance in NOugat is better than Oreo and theres alot of rootable kernel here with DRM Fix .

Yes, Existenz is the best ROM for XZs now. But I prefer to use 7.1.1 because of Xposed Modules compatibility and theres many to install from xposed Forum. As for now Oreo is not yet supported by Xposed.
Rooted yrs ago, but having trbl now
Guys, I've rooted devices, but it's been a few years. I don't remember it being this complicated.
Here's what I think I understand:
Fastboot mode allows me to the ability to flash(overwrite) image files, which are what loads when my device powers up.
ADB is an interface that allows my PC to talk to my Android device at a command level.
My ROM (is that what some are calling Kernal?) is what I see as a user on the device.
>writing a new ROM gives me different Android functionality and user interface experience.
Root is an access level and is what allows me to overwrite the ROM, and uninstall bloatware (my goal)
Bootloader must be unlocked, and USB Debugging enabled
all being true and I don't necessarily dislike the XZs Dual G8232 interface (I just want to remove some garbage):
1. What does the Recovery.img do, and why do I need to overwrite it?
2. What's the best way to go about this?
>> I have watched a few videos and read several step by step guides, none of them seem to work as written/recorded for me.
Am I not getting this concept correct?
1. Must have drivers installed, a new boot.img (the new ROM) and recovery.img, and a means of communicating (adb)
2. Unlock bootloader, enable Debugging
3. get phone into Fastboot Mode (struggling here, key combo into fastboot mode has the phone off; adb into Fastboot reboots the phone , but the LED turns orange and no further commands execute.)
4. Overwrite the Boot.img
5. Overwrite the Recovery.img
6. reboot normally, done
thanks

You don’t need to root your device to install TWRP, but you will need to unlock device's bootloader, which will erase all the content on your device.

Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, once your phone is in recovery mode use the volume buttons to scroll to 'Fastboot' or 'Download Mode', then press the power button to select it. Replace 'twrp-version' with the exact file name of the . img file you downloaded. Hit Enter to install TWRP to your phone.

To install a suitable Custom ROM a device-matching Custom Recovery must get installed beforehand.
You must not root device's Android to flash a Custom ROM. Root is only needed to debloat Android. Take note that you can temporarily root Android.

Okay so I looked up more and I have an option called "Unlock bootloader" so I think I can unlock it so what else stop me from rooting my device?
The so-called "root" is a functionality of Android OS, has nothing to do with a device's bootloader what starts device's Linux kernel and afterwards Android OS.
Don't confuse things.

You need installing img file with correct vbmeta file or using vbmeta modified.
Here the TWRP: TWRP TEST USB
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery recoveryTWRP.img
fastboot reboot-recovery
if you not have vbmeta modified and want use one so use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/vbmetaandroidsc_mod-zip.5338181/
