It's a bit hidden in an pretty empty development forum, but it's now possible to root YotaPhone 2 with lollipop :good:
the bootloader I figured out myself, and am trying for days on windows to compile a TWRP recovery for yotaphone with the android studio etc...
but doesn't work !!!! so I give it up, and hope somebody will compile a TWRP recovery for the yotaphone uses

Hello all,
The Yoga 10 and S6000-F seem to share the exact same specs (aside from the batteries), so the question is whether one could safely flash the 4.4 rom onto the S6000 to partake in the Kitkat goodness?
I don't believe this question has been asked before, but if it was, my apologies in advance. Thank you.
I also considering about installing Yoga Tablet 10 Firmware to S6000-H but flashing this version would be corrupt maybe device
I've a spare s6000 I'm willing to try it on if someone could point me to KK download and a guide to install it. I'm used to CWM/TWRP so not a complete n00b but have only rooted my s6000.
Anyone? Willing to accept CWM backup of your tablet if you've just wiped it before doing a backup.
Many thanks
Adrian
Finally managed to download the Yoga firmware from the Russian site. Tried to install just the boot.img and recovery.img - borked the tablet. Fortunately I know how to use fastboot and managed to recovery it with a backup I made earlier.
So, it might be possible mucking about with scatter files etc but just a plain old install won't work. You have been warned.
Many thanks
Adrian
Thank you very much for your try. Too bad just the install of Yoga firmware didn't work, maybe that would have been a to easy solution for us S6000 user. :laugh:
So there's no much hope left for an upgrade or custom firmware left I think.
Android L should be out soon so I've started looking at that. Ideally MTK will release the proper drivers etc. - here's hoping...
Many thanks

I need to be able to root my fone (not Phone ) so i can install arch linux and other things like xsposed installer
So sorry but nobody can't root it
Waiting for... coming soon
(Since I'm a newbie, I can't post in development forums, so I guess this goes here for now. If this is the wrong place, I apologise.)
I have an Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), which doesn't seem to have any support from the custom rom community. This is not surprising as it's a fairly uncommon device, and until recently, Asus has been less than helpful. However, the latest firmware update (supposedly; I haven't pulled the trigger yet) allows the Asus bootloader unlock utility to work on this tablet.
I've wanted to replace Asus's firmware since I bought the thing. I know that it's an uncommon device, so I'll have to do all the work myself. I'm an experienced Linux hacker, so I know how to configure and build kernels, how Linux OS images are constructed, how to read/write C, etc. However, I'm a bit of an Android newbie.
I figured the first step would be to port TeamWin recovery, so I'd have a way out if I brick the thing. But (from what I've been able to find) porting TeamWin requires a working CM or (preferably) Omni port. So it's kinda a chicken and egg problem. Do people just port roms using stock recovery and hope for the best? Or is there a (more involved, I'm sure) way of porting TeamWin that doesn't require an existing port? Or is there some other recovery (I don't know about) that's more standalone?
And then there's the issue of porting the OS itself. For thier part, Asus provides kernel souces, firmware images, and the aforementioned boot loader unlock utility. I imagine to get started, one has to compile a kernel and combine it with binary blobs extracted from the firmware image, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've looked around for porting information, but the guides I found all seem to assume you've got a working device tree from one mod that you want to graft onto another. I couldn't find much about really starting from (nearly) nothing. I'd like to say I'm surprised Google doesn't have something written up, but given how unhelpful I've found a lot of thier Android docs in the past, I'm not.
I'm mostly interested in porting AOSP to start, but I'd be willing to start somewhere else if some other ROM is easier to work with. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you might have to offer.
Any progress on this? I was able to flash twrp and root my Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), but had no luck finding a compatible rom. Did you get to compile one? Thanks!
How would you unlock the bootloader for this device?
Hello,
i would like to know: are there any root or custom-roms for the ZTE BLADE A612 (android 7)?
thank you!
please i need flash for this telephon please please
I have requested a way to root this phone to the ZTE support but they haven't answered for 2 weeks so looks like I had no luck. I guess they didn't intended it to be rootable in the first place, but I'll tell you if they will answer at some point
paranoid android
edit: I'm about to compile cynagon mod rom for this phone using the source codes and the vends (they're open-source!) from zte I'll start the process sometime next week, but I'm about all set. I'll let you know once I'm done
No Fastboot
The reason this phone can't really be rooted is that it has no real fastboot mode, only meta mode so that there is also no way to unlock the bootloader
Hey, long time no see... I had to sell my xperia z3 last night, so I bought this XT1254 Droid Turbo.... Which is on MCG24.25-5-5 Build.... Android version 6.0.1 Security Patch level January 1, 2017....
I searched around here and found some complex methods for twrp and root, so I thought about posting here... I already did root Z3 unlocked it's bootloader and stuf..
So Is there any less complex method for these things? I don't wanna unlock bootloader for camera quality sake but I'd only like to know about rooting, twrp and a fast android 7 custom rom which is fast / battery saver, supports xposed etc if possible.. (Links would be useful, if someone can) So... Please point me in the right direction..
Else i'm staying stock. Thank you very much in advance.
Anyone???
