Hi all, I've been browsing since yesterday about rooting Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, however there was little that could be found. And in this point I'm not even sure whether it is possible.
Does someone have experience with rooting this particular phone. I will appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance

ROOT on Lollipop is actually possible, russian guide HERE.
Every game I tried worked flawlessly. I don't think I have ever had any problems with that. Also resolution change (to 1080p) helped with FPS. I think 1440p is for Adreno 330 too much.
Hi, how is it possible to change the resolution? Thanks.
i used the lenovo companion app and it shows that i'm rooted. but when i installed the supersu, either via playstore of twrp, it keep asking me to update binary. Any idea what i can do? thanks.

After pressing update? Still keeps asking? I just flashed latest SuperSU (2.46 i think) in twrp and everything works fine.
yes it tries to update then say not successful. needs to reboot. but then the same after rebooting. not sure if it's because i don't have root. i did manage to install twrp and can reboot into twrp.
Then flash latest SuperSU zip in twrp. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work
hi bro, i tried that, and it really didn't work. I'm also puzzled. downloaded v2.46 from the supersu website and flashed via twrp. the message is successful. but when i open up, it still prompts me to update binary. sigh.
Rooting Vibe Z2 Pro
Hi,
First I unlocked the Bootloader and used Kingroot app to root VIbe Z2 pro.
I also installed TWRP and it is working fine.

Do you have ROW or chinese version ? Kingroot mobile or destop version ?
I have a chinese model and after lollipop update Gapps not working [ tried a lot of GMsinstaller in vain ] , if you can help me with detailed steps please, I think only after root I can change pemission to gapps in order to work. Tried download and install directly on the phone kingroot v4.5.0.722 and is not working [I am not unlocked the bootloder yet , I am afraid not to brick the phone ].

look dude... i'll be super honest with you. In no android planet will you be able to root your device if you keep a locked bootloader. Get it unlocked first. Does your device have ''fastboot''? because everything will have to start with that.

There are dozens of devices rootable with those one-click generic apps like KingoRoot or Towelroot etc... which doesn't need unlocked bootloader, or even adb/fastboot. Ofc you won't be able to flash custom recovery (via fastboot) and things like that, but essentialy you'll end up with SuperSU installed along with su binary (that's the point of rooting the device, right?).
Before Lollipop firmware update our device was possible to root via those one-click apps.

Honestly to say you are right. I dont know why i was being rogue with you. I think what i should hav said was '' in no android planet would you want to root your device with a locked bootloader''. Reasons being no Nandroid backup restore method.. neither via recovery nor via fastboot image flashing method. Of course taking nandroid backup will be possible e.g using Online Nandroid app, onandroid executable scripts e.t.c. Besides unlocking bootloader only clears your user data. We all know rooting is not a disaster but a window to disaster #BRICK. Think about it.

Anyway download pdanet for pc... Install it. Have usb debugging on. Check that on developer options on your device. Connect your device to pc then run pdanet to install the necessary driver. (You could also download and use "adb drivers installer.exe for pc as an alternative".
Check your phone screen to confirm the debug promp.
Download iRoot English version for pc.
Install it and run.
Connect your phone with the usb debug still on.
Once your device is detected and name displayed. A button "Root" will appear. Click on it and your phone will reboot if rooting successful.

Looking at the new Yota phone, will there be any development (root, ROMs, themes etc) for this device?
Has it already begun or are developers waiting?
I am thinking about getting one (the device) so I wanted to know about tweaks I could potentially start with, root being the first.

i have honestly not heard about this device and its looks pretty cool! i cant wait to see what development we might get for it.
I'm also very interested in the Yotaphone
As of now, it is available in Germany.
I really want to get one, I'm just waiting for the first user reviews an especially wheter the phone can be rooted and the reading app FBReader will be re-configured to work with the eink screen.
Hopefully, Framaroot will be able to root the phone and from a comment on FRReader's Facebook page, it seems that the Devs are collaborating with the Yota team to make FBReader compatible.
Good news: FBReader has been updated!
1.9.4:
* Added support for YotaPhone e-ink screen
link to Play Store
hopefully, the first users getting their Yotaphone can try it out and report back
And as FBreader is open source (GitHub), lets hope that more and more devs use their code and calls to the yota library to support the e-ink screen in their apps
Root
According to a Russian Board, the Yotaphone can indeed be rooted throug Framaroot (by using the Gandalf exploit intendet for Qualcomm SoCs)
Source
Lets just hope that the bootloader is unlocked and we can access Fastboot or something similar.
IMO we don't even need full ROMs as the Yotaphone is running vanilla Android that could easily be tweaked throug the Xposed Framework and something like GravityBox
Hello guys, im having my yota phone now!
see attachment,
and i can confirm that i am rooted by gandalf exploit framaroot.
Would def appreciate a review ))

Ok, guys! I've just rooted my Yotaphone. android 4.2.2.
I need big favour now. I can choose only MTP and PTP connection. So far I couldn't found any good soft to mass storage connections.
Can I install any additional soft? For Example: "USB Mass Storage Enabler" was really close to connect "Mass storage mode" but after I choose "Mass storage mode" I don't see MTP connection on computer screen and nothing more.
Disable (uncheck) 'USB debug mode' that might bring mtp back.
Alternatively, freeze the enabler app and see if that brings mtp back.

i have asked Yota Devices for GPL'd kernel sources and their intention to support Custom ROM development in general, but so far I have not heard a real answer from them, just a link to the developer section on their website. That contains info for app-developers, not ROM development (at least at this moment). Maybe if more people ask, they will release sources, which will help development.
Bootloop after Chainfire 3d driver install
Hello all,
I have successfully rooted my Yotaphone c9660 using Kingo Root. I installed the driver in Chainfire 3d application. After that my phone restarted and entered a bootloop . After reading over forums and got to know that the bootloop happened because of the driver. The solution is to remove the library files using adb on the pc. But that requires a recovery like CWM. I have no CWM because I used Kingo. I dont think the phone also has a default recovery. Can anyone suggest how to fic the issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hellooo.
Is it possible to access the bootloader / download mode in this model? If so then you could attempt to unlock the bootloader, then look around and see if someone made a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. If someone has then you can flash that and attempt what you need to do.
Good luck.

Hi Guys,
As already many of us know that we can use the Easy root toolkit to root our Xperia .402 Fw without the need to Downgrade.
I am making this thread as many have been asking me the steps to do it.
I am not responsible in any way if something goes bad. I have personally rooted 2 phones using this method and everything is fine.
Head over to this Post and download the V10.0 from there.
Follow the Steps mentioned below.
1. Download the attachment and extract it
2. Download http://towelroot.com/ and put tr.apk inside folder /files
3. Start your phone and plug it to your computer
4. Run install.bat and follow the instructions on screen
Now extra steps that I did.
After phone restarts download rootchecker from playstore and check if root is there.
It would show you the root.
Now Download the attached superuser.apk ( Dont install from Playstore )
Install it and open and it would ask you to update binaries do that ( Normal way )
Restart the phone.
Now my phone is Rooted with Locked Bootloader.

Don't unplug the phone before restarting after the first part of root process. After the reboot files are added it seems. Did that at first too and it didn't work. Wait it out and press a button during reboot and when it boots up it'll be fine.

Yes now I'm on CM13 but I did my root on COS 12.1 before, KingRoot works on both ROMs for me.
Yes, for me rooting gives a lot as I'm using Xposed modules like Amplify and Greenify and some other nice software, but if you don't find it useful don't do it Read on internet what ROOT gives, it's not useful for everybody, but for me is essential.

Hi guys,
I have been trying to root my device for 2 days, with no success.
I have tried 2 different Windows computers, just to make sure that I wasn't making any mistake with the drivers. The problem is that I never get to see my device when I launch the command "adb devices". Developer option is activated, ADB modeas well, OEM unlocking as well. Driver installed (Google generic one and tried also ZUK USB drivers 1.0.5), I get to see 3 devices in System Properties:
- under portable devices
E:\
Z1
- under ShenQi ADB Devices
android ADB interface
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
I don't get the RSA Authentication authorization request from the device once I plug it in....
Really no idea of what to do. Should I try kingroot?
Thanks in advance

Use the tool in the link below and follow instructions. It will do everything for you and install a custom recovery and let you install su.
Would recommend uninstalling all previous USB drivers and start again.

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that there hasn't been any threads about rooting the Xperia Z2 Tablet on lollipop. Most threads have discussed how to root the device on 4.4.4 and to create an update image to maintain your root whilst updating to 5.0+.
I've scoured the interwebs and found nothing so I'll make it easy for those whom don't know how to achieve root or don't want to do much work without creating images and such.
First off I'm not responsible for any inconvenience that may come with rooting your device and losing your warranty. I can and will be willing to help out in restoring or answering questions that you may have.
This method uses Kingroot... For those who have a problem with kingroot, it is only used to achieve root and this guide will also be showing you how to remove kingroot and install Supersu with ease. Using the link below download the necessary files: Kingroot V4, Supersume, XZDualRecovery 2.8.26. Place all these files on the root of your devices internal storage/SD card excluding Xdualrecovery as that needs a PC. (If you want to Xposed working I will also supply the files needed for that as well). https://www.mediafire.com/download/wrsajbgw2jr6czt
*Make sure you have unknown sources enabled under Settings>Security>Device administrators as well as Developer Options available and USB debugging enabled. (To enable Developer Options go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number and click it 10 times).
1. Install NewKingroot.apk and run the application. It will notify you that a root method was found and to try it. It may take up to 2 minutes to achieve root. (If all you wanted was root and are content with kinguser then you're done! :good: if you want Supersu and/or a custom recovery then continue on to step 2!
2. Connect your Tablet to your PC via microUSB. On your PC open and extract the contents of TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip to your desktop. Now double click install.bat a screen will pop up providing you with options to install xdualrecovery. Choose option 2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser by pressing 2 and enter. The script will run its course and tell you to grant permission on your tablet. Open up your tablet and a kinguser prompt will show asking you to grant or deny permission to ADB (Grant it!!!) afterwards your tablet will reboot on it's own to TWRP. (I advise you to either make a backup of the tablet now or after you install Supersu as insurance in case of any mishaps). Click reboot System.
3.Install Supersume, open the application and run it. It will of course ask to grant it permission (Grant it!!!) it will check the environment (making sure that there isn't any Pokemon nearby that you don't need... Sorry Pokemon Go reference) and it will begin removing kingroot and install Supersu. If you didn't have Supersu installed already great! It'll open up Supersu automatically. Supersu may ask you to update binaries (DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot and you have to start the process over from step one!!! :crying: Just click Normal and once it says successful you're done! :victory: The next step is optional if you Want Xposed.
*Optional 4. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Open your app drawer and open NDR Utils. It will ask for permission (Grant it!!!) now here you may choose your preferred recovery... Philz Touch Recovery,TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Click Reboot to Primary Recovery (fourth option) once it's rebooted you want to click install>SD>xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20160620.zip and swipe to install. You should get a success when it's finished. Now simply reboot and your apps will be upgrading. Congratulations you now have root with SuperSU and xposed! :victory:
**if you wish to uninstall Xposed simply reboot to recovery and click install>SD>xposed-uninstaller-20151218-arm.zip uninstall the application once it's rebooted and you're good to go!
***if you have a problem with Supersume not working, reinstall Newkingroot.apk and run it again to get root. Then run supersume again (Grant permission!!!) and let it run its magic.
If anyone has issues, has questions or needs help PM and I will do my best to help and answer all your questions. Please don't be discouraged because I'm new here! I will be soon adding a link to a video tutorial on how all these steps can be done!

Glad it worked for you. Just wanted to help people out as I had invested time trying to figure out my own. I didn't like flashing files constantly so tried making easy.
Never had luck with kingoapp and today isnt any different
Thanks so much. I am away for another week but I can not wait to try this. I got a verizon z2 tablet since it seemed to be the cheapest 10 inch tablet. You have breathed new life in to it.

Am i correct that you don't provide the kingroot.apk?
Which version are you using?
How do you boot into custom recovery from device off? Everytime I try it takes me to the stock recovery

Power off device. While device is booting up at the Sony logo hold power and volume down/up (depends on customer recovery) until led flashes green and device vibrates then let go

That's great news to hear! I picked one up and wanted to root and I did on KitKat but when I upgraded to lollipop I lost root and rooted it the long way... Needed something simpler and couldn't find anything on here. So I wanted to make sure a guide was available to all. Enjoy and let me know how it went

If you're talking about your google drive, there is no kingoapp.apk in there
All there is:
- supersume.apk
- tabz-lockeddualrecovery
- xposed uninstaller
- xposed v85.1
- xposed installer
I downloaded the most recent kingroot, which worked on my Verizon sgp561, and then I used your superuser file to change over to su. Seems to work just fine.. I'm on 5.1.1.
I tried the most recent kingroot and it fails.
An old version gave me an error code of 0x162982

Sorry that you're having issues though

What is the software version you are having problems with?
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a way to root my Trekker-M1 Core.
I have tried having activated usb debugging:
- Rootkhp Pro 1.9
- Kingoroot
- Kingroot
- Sp flash tool but couldn't find the proper rootkit
I could find many rootkits, but unfortunately for other kinds of Crosscall Trekkers
Phone info:
CrossCall Trekker-M1 Core
Android 6.0.1
Hardware version: V1.00
Kernel 3.10.49
If someone could help me, would be wonderfull
Hi Bfreenoe. I just rooted my Crosscall Trekker M1 with Kingoroot. (I like those phones but they have too many little ****ty google apps that you can only remove with a root)
I used the official Kingo Root app that I installed on my phone.
Download on your computer or directly on your phone the Android's version of Kingo Root
Here's the link of the official website:
kingoapp.com
Then you just have to put the apk somewhere on your phone where you can find it easily.
Make sure you've got enough battery (They say 70% but I was at 60% when I did it)
And you'll need an internet connection of course.
I hope it'll work for you
Halp!!!1!!

Hi Ulf,
After loads of tries, I succeeded rooting my Crosscall Trekker M1 using iRoot v3.4.9. APK. BUT it seems quite complicated from there to either :
- install a custom recovery as this device is not supported neither by TWRP neither by CWM, as I can't get the recovery.img
- replace 'irootsu' with Supersu, Superuser or Magisk.. Staying with these chinese app omnipotent in my system doesn't really make me feel that my phone is safe and sound..
Does somebody know how to root this device using a 'cleaner' method ?
