Nokia X Rooting Guide for all versions.
Hello Everyone. Today I wanted to create a full and final Tutorial on how to root Nokia X. Whether you are on v 11.1.1 or have updated to v1.1.2.2.
Step-by-step guide:
1. Download and install Nokia X Usb Drivers (if you haven't).
2. Download Nokia X ToolKit from here.
3. Set your device to USB Debugging and connect it to your PC.
4. Run the Nokia X Toolkit. You will see this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Choose Option 21.
6. Let it work and after a while you'll find your phone booted into CWM.
7. There goto Mounts And Storage --> Mount System.
8. Then choose Flash Zip from SD Card.
9. There you'll find a zip of Superuser. Flash it.
10. After flashing, you should choose Reboot.
11. It will give you a prompt about fixing CWM. Just select NO.
12. Done. You will be rooted now.
I hope this works. Tested by me. So Enjoy. Credits to Ethan for this magnificent Toolkit.
P.S: Much better than KingRoot and other methods, I believe.
I had flashed my stock rom with CWM 6.0.4.8
so could you give me stock recovery img or root.zip
Thank you!

Then you need to download the toolkit and choose option 1. It will send the zip automatically to your phone memory.
Thanks it's working with this Toolkit, after new update

You only need to root after update v 1.1.2.2. No need to install g-apps again. Yes, choose option 9 and root. G-Apps donot need to be re-installed again.

It says clearly that more than one android device are connected to your computer. You need to de-attach the other phone and connect only Nokia X to your computer.

My wife's phone got the OTA update. It already downloaded so I just had the file name, showing it is in cache:
6c7ff815e7762f651ad6f8c74e5cb281093f1e0b.signed-yakju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.6c7ff815.zip
But based on other OTA updates for Yakju it appears that I can put the normal first part of the url in front of it, so download link is: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_maguro/6c7ff815e7762f651ad6f8c74e5cb281093f1e0b.signed-yakju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.6c7ff815.zip

I've just flashed it with CWM alongside with chainfire's root and it worked flawlessly
Thank you!
Have you problem with the new SuperSU?
I have read this: "Be careful with that version of SuperSU. It is not yet stable (on the N4 at least). There is an issue where for some reason (and we haven't figured it out yet), you lose root, and the daemonsu process starts eating up ~70%+ of your CPU time. Battery dies pretty quick. "

could you make a small guide with the steps you followed for flashing?
I assume that with this method you don't lose any of the personal data. right?
@aryan79
I've flashed 20 minutes ago, until now It's working fine, I will post if some problems occur
@sakis_the_fraud
I've had already CWM installed, I'm assuming you also have it:
1.- boot into CWM
2.- backup
3.- flash OTA zip
4.- flash superSU
5.- Reboot system
That's all

I just did this myself - stock 4.2.2 and stock bootloader.
Adb sideload worked fine and I didn't lose any data.
Only strange thing was my live wallpaper was uninstalled, but everything else seems ok, and I just reinstalled the wallpaper from the Play store.
I don't see "yakju" mentioned in the software build details anymore like other releases???

I just have a question that if a rom based on Kitaab is rooted and it got bricked, so flashing the jellybean rom will create any problems with imei or not?
No it will not affect IMEI. It may lost if you do not use proper files to flash it. There are methods to have backup of IMEI. Search for proper method, I think mtkdroid tool does that with PC and mobileuncle tool without PC. Google is there to help you.
Best of Luck.

can anyone help me step by step how to flash a CWM Recovery on my xolo QC 800 Tab .. want to change its ROM to latest one.
Will it work if my phone is virus infected
Hello Bro,
I want to install the original OS on my XOLO Q1010i. Because my mobile is infected by some adware & malware. It contentiously shows ads and installs different application without any permission. I m fed up of this, to get rid of the virus, I did factory reset for 2 times and Hard reset the phone once. But its not working, that virus downloads and installs files on my phone whenever I use internet.
So, this procedure that u have mentioned here, will it work in this case. I want to install new original system.
Thank you, Bro.
Please Please. Reply.. Help me
Hi everybody,
This is my first post and come up with a problem regards my Nokia X+ phone.
I installed Lewa (from this site) onto my Nokia phone. After that, I accidentally removed important files (system files...). After that, I cannot start the phone and flashed using Nokia Flasher (from this site) and cannot install other Rom or OS at recovery mode.
I tried all the day, but no use. Please help me if you have solution for me?
I am eagerly waiting for your help.
Please show me a solution. I am almost thinking that my phone is no longer works. Hope somebody shows a solution for me.

YSH ALSAGER said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I removed System files and other important files using "Root Explorer" that comes with LEWA.
This is whole story in summary:
My phone model is Nokia X+. But rooted and installed LEWA OS from this forum. I didn't like LEWA and couldn't install other OS like Kitkat or Lollipup ROM. And without understanding the importance of that system files, I removed them.
When I restart my phone, it only shows LEWA starting symbol and cannot use my phone anymore.
* I tried to install other ROMs in recovery mode, but they are aborted while installing.
* I have not taken backups.
Feeling sad about what happened to my phone last day.
Is there any solution for me?

I know. And I even know if developers like you are not here, we would have struck at very basic Nokia X android platforms. Kudos to you.
But I think this forum has at least one ROM without any errors. We don't have marshmallow, but what about Lollipup ROM (without errors)? If this forum has it, please give me link.
Hi guys,
recently bought this A5 at reasonable price( 50$). It goes fast as any other 4-core brand named device i have seen. But it came with much bloatware such as a search service that somehow i cant stop. I must disable it once a day and then again tsoup! it is on again...Anyway that's why my first thought was rooting the device.
Sometime ago i rooted and old samsung with just a click. But this blackview seems to be solving the circle square. No support, google says little only some russians i can not understand.
So, to end this story i need help to root this device. Flash a modded preinstalled rooted version maybe?
Thanks in advance...
Edit: Managed to root it finally. just flash supersu via twrp(3.03 custom recovery image from needrom site)...8 hours piece of cake ^-^. Thank god for the last beta version 2.79 SR3 201xxx of supersu. All the other version had me to bootloop.
Hi there, please tell me how you did it. Some links to the correct files would be great.
Kind regards, Skyfire

Sorry for the delay, just go to needrom.com under blackview section u will find many costum twrp. I used the 3.03 version. U will also need sp_flashtools, adb drivers and a mt6580 scatter file to flash the twrp from your pc. Let me know if u need any help.

Thank you very, very much !!!! You made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWRP is installed and installing CM 13 was done in a blink of an eye.
Kind regards, Skyfire

I flashed the recovery.img with sp flash but when I enter recovery mode, twrp doesn't show up...
Instead, the stock recovery mode boots up.
sp flash says that the flash was successfull but it doesn't work out for me...
btw I only flashed the recovery.img. I didn't flash any boot.img or anything else.
any ideas what went wrong?

That's hell of a problem...did u select the scatter file in sp tools? maybe your firmware is different version? if i remember correct there are 3 versions of blackview A5. I have the A5_C1_Blackview_SD_Q20160709. If different then u must find a twrp for your version..Sorry mate
There is a thread over at 4pda with different versions of twrp but the links are all down. Maybe if you find somebody that speaks russian ore use google translate you can get it there.
Today my new A5 arrived and of course I wanted to root it.
But I have a new Build number = A5_C1-Blackview_SD_Q20161010
Also the drivers are not working.
Does anybody ca help me out ?
thx in advance
My build = A5_C1_Blackview_VO.X_20160420
Would this be a good idea...? Or a bad idea...?
If I go into: Settings -> About phone -> Wireless update
There are no OTA updates available... But there is an option to install "Local updates". I can select the "SuperSU" zip but I get warnings about bricking the phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, would this produce desired results? Or brick the phone?
While I'm here, what about installing custom ROMs, eg one of the 6.0.1 ROMs from needrom.com?
helo, i want to root my blackview 5, i already downloaded all files that should be used to preparing the root. but the problem here is all this files and procedures are odd for me. can you screen shoot how to root start at the beginning? tq
