Nicely done!
I will definitely have to try this out when I receive mine in a cpl days.
I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to manually change the GSM band frequencies to match a U.S. based carrier? I'm going to be using the Elephone S8 and iron Metro PCS carrier. I'd really like to have more than a 2G-3G speed capability on such a nice budget phone.

Hello!
My Elephone S8 arrived today and I like it very much so far. But like on all of my phones & tablets I'd like to have root access to install a firewall, deal with autostarting apps, etc.
Has anyone tried a one-click-root sollution with success? I tried out Kingo root, towel root, kingroot, oneklickroot, root genius, drfone and root master but none of them worked.

Thank you so much for the warning!
I was going to root my phone today with the suggested method and now I'm glad I did not. I think I will wait for a working one-klick-solution without modding the system files.
Yep . I also notice it.
In the OTA.zip is a checkroot file [emoji14]
Didn't know that..

So, what does that mean? Will the OTA updates never work on a rooted device, no matter how it was rooted?
Hello skeleton1911.
I flashed your boot.img and my Elephone S8 is rooted. Thank you. But as mentioned before, the OTA update detected root and refused to update. So I flashed the boot.img from the stock ROM and bricked the phone. It will not boot up. So I have to flash the root back again to start the phone.
Is there a way to unroot the phone so that it can be updated? Thank you!

Hey guys, easier way to root on LBL. Try this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53448680
I'm having some problems with it- maybe I've done something wrong... I successfully got root (checked it with Root Checker), but now my phone keeps locking up and I have to reset it to wake it up. Right now I am charging it back up so I can repair it (hopefully) with PC Companion.
dave
if I get a root would I be able to flash roms?
At least ROMs which don't need a custom kernel. Flashing a different kernel requires an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, this really works with my japanese variant of Z1 Compact (Z1f SO-02F, see attached image) :good:
No custom kernel, Stock ROM, Full root access, No /system r/o reboot issue :victory:
But it take some more step then proposed, especially the main exploit apk file

Actually yes (on the computer), since it needs to download tr.apk. You can also manually download it from towelroot.com and place it inside files directory.

Hey guys, do u know if autorec is working on 5.0.2 RR Rom ? I want to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 on my D802 but i dont know if it will work or if i get a bootloop or something.. Please help me!
Thanks

Youcan try it but its better to use twrp 2.8.5.0 if it will not work then you can always flash back to stock
But you already have recovery right? So I dont see the reason why to downgrade to 2.7.0.0

Try flashify.. Or do it with another app to flash the recoveryimage as terminal is dangerous to flash it. Btw you need root.

Yes u can use autorec on stock lollipop, i've used it on Glora Rom V1.1, i have D801 Tmobile,
F320k stock 5.0 ROM rooted
has anyone tried Autorec on rooted F320k with stock 5.0.1 ROM.
I am not sure if SDK method works as well. Any Ideas on how to get a recovery?
@bloyde0411
I'm in the same situation as you, I've got the F320L Korean version.
I've heard that bender_007 is working on it, so you have to see the last pages of this thread.
I hope he makes one for f320k. I don't mind donating to support the development. Though I doubt it will be available soon . The Korean version seems very different from the previous ones.

ROOTING AND INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS!
Hello Everybody!
I just wanna Let you Guys now, As i Updated to OxgenOS 3.1.0 (Marshmellow) Community Build
Installing Recovery & Root will not Works afterwards.
Because of those Message some People allready read! on TWRP This package is for "OnePlus" devices; this is a "ONE".
Means that this Package is Optimized for the: OnePlus ONE! AS YOU ALLREADY READ!as i try to install Recovery and Rooting with ADB IT NOT REPLACES STOCK RECOVERY WITH TWRP! EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO BOOT TO THIS RECOVERY IT GIVES YOU MESSAGE: FAILED (remote: dtb not found) , SO IT MEANS INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS AND ROOTING OXYGENOS 3.1.0 IS NOT WORKING IN THE MOMENT FOR THE ONEPLUS X , SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED A NEW HASH FOR TWRP INORDER TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERYS IN FUTURE.
If you wanna Still installing Custom Roms i hightly Recommend Downgrade to OxygenOS 2.2.2 and Install a Custom Rom like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android or Ressurection Remix.
ONEPLUS PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE IN A UPCOMING UPDATE..

Hello Everyone, i Updated my OnePlus X to Android 6.0.1 OxygenOS 3.1.0 Community Build today and now i rant in a Huge issue.
As alot of People Remember you Can"t Flash OxygenOS 3.1.0 on the OnePlusX Running a Custom Recovery
Getting this Error message:
This package is for "OnePlus" devices; this is a "ONE".
Ok.. i did flashed the Original Recovery after it did this.. :victory:
I think this Build messed UP my Hole entire Recovery Partition.
BECAUSE OF: this is a "ONE" ? Means this Build is made for THE ONE PLUS ONE?!
Now i tryed Reflash the Recovery Image but.. ITS NOT BOOTING!
ALSO IF I TRY TO BOOT A RECOVERY IMAGE IT SAYS. FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
This was my Steps i did.
1. TWRP Removed all data and cache.
2. Installed Original OnePlusX Recovery on the Device useing ADB.
3. Installed OxygenOS 3.1.0
4. Recovery worked first times.
5. After a While it stopped working.

It appeared like that. Reboot to system. Enable developer settings and enable advanced reboot menu. Reboot to recovery. You should be able to do that. Twrp does not work at this moment so settle for open recovery.
it was not Booting after a While to Recovery or System what i did was use this Method:

How is it annoying?
You guys are just too stupid to read what others are telling since noon.
It's a beta, and they recommend the use with everything on stock.
Trial and error also has consequences that you are not willing to face, so it seems that you're completely wrong or not being able to wait some hours.
