I have just bought a Sky Devices "Elite" 5.0L (with Android Lollipop 5.1 stock firmware). I need to root it, in order to appropriately use Link2SD and remove a few pieces of software that came preinstalled. I have tried KingoRoot v4.9.5 (and some others) with no success: phone can't be root, yet.
Has anyone had success in rooting this model?
Thank you very much in advance!
Gabriel, from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Dont Root
DONT ROOT with KingRoot on Sky Devices or One Click they will soft brick and the device will only boot to the logo screen and freeze.
Update: KingRoot V4.9.6 android and V3.2.0 win, should work as they have address the issues with older versions.

I have a new SKY DEVICES Elite 5.0l phone with original stock ROM, I am trying to extract the ROM so that I can unbrick another Sky Elite 5.0L
same model same firmware version but I cannot get MTKDroid tool to detect the phone, I have tried everything under sun but to no avail
I just cannot get it to detect the phone
I also root the phone using Kingo Root PC which went smoothly, I even tried Rom Manager but that app don't support SKY Elite 5.0l at the moment.
I need to get this to work before Monday as I will have to give back the working phone to it owner.Please is there anyone who can help
your input is highly valued...
UPDATE: ....
so since no one was will or have any information on this situation that I am in
I continue to nosily around with the phone, and I manage to get MKT Droid tool to detect it
and it is showing the Phone info,
then I hit a roadblock again, I cannot create a scatter file as the option is grayed out
Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3/v2.4
AS I WRITE THIS, I WAS INFORM THAT THERE IS NO version of MTK Droid tool for the MT67xx chipsets.... time for bed
Could you successfully root a Sky 5.0L "Elite" (with Android Lollipop 5.1) phone? With exactly which software / version? Just to be sure, bear in mind that KingoRoot is not the same as KingRoot.
Thank you,

I used KingRoot to root my platinum 5.0, with lollipop. I have BusyBox. I had no problems, and did it untethered. I had no problems with bricking.

Hi, did anyone succeed in extracting the ROM from the Sky Elite 5.0L?
I tried to root one using the latest version of KingoRoot but only succeeded in soft bricking it! Now it boots to the Sky Devices screen and hang there. I can boot into Recovery but need the proper ROM to revive the phone.
Can anyone help ???

Hard Luck there, I have one with the same problem and I toss it in a box I dont even bother with it again as no one seem interested in dealing with this model..
Hi, I I still don't understand if it's safe to try and root the sky 5.0L (android 5.1 v1.5) or not, can anyone help ?
So today after a long while I was able to get the phone to boot up to the logo screen, now to get it to boot to the home screen.
UPDATE: SUCCESS SUCCESS! OK I got the Sky Elite to boot to home screen ......

Okay sorry
As I said, my phone was Developer Edition so I did not unlock bootloader because Its already unlocked. So I just downloaded all in one kit and updated TWRP 2.7 and I found SuperSu for Android 5.0 Lolliop than I just installed it from TWRP
Would be very grateful for a link for Lenovo A7600 Rom for Lollipop O/S. A link other than that posted in 3 parts on a spam site.
Thanks

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

Really nice to see your response, would you be kind enough to inbox me with your custom recovery. I really need to even get the stock rom to reflash if you could help. Thanks so much for replying and if we can get someone interested in porting to LP i would happy to contribute.

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.
Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

Hi, I looked all over and cannot find a guide for rooting the US version of this phone. I've already killed it once using the Chinese guide (I got it from Hong Kong an assumed is was the Chinese version).
I don't want a custom recovery, just root. I'm not a new to rooting, just out of practice, I've been using Nexus devices and have grown used to its ease of rooting. I have also seen a lot of people brick there device on here and other forums and would obviously like to avoid that hastle
Thanks in advance.

I was only able to root the device by using a custom recovery via fastboot first: https://twrp.me/devices/letvle1pro.html. Then I installed SuperSU via TWRP.
Thanks mate, I was thinking that was my only option. Can I ask which versions of Twrp and SU you used? Should I just use the newest stable releases?

For TWRP I use the 3.0.2 from the web site I posted. For SuperSU I use v2.74. I think it was a beta version that I have installed, but it worked before also with 2.65 stable.

I did it! i rooted my phone. i tried about 5 different apps such as kingroot (didnt work). eventually one of them (not sure which one!) added a switch under security settings called "root permissions" i turn that on and rooted the phone easy.
You could root your Meizu with a Flyme 6.x.x build.
But with Flyme 7.x.x it's impossible.

You can do it the way sd_shadow suggested. But I personally had no problems simply flashing the Magisk zip from a custom recovery. That should take care of the root, as well. That's about it.
So, in simple terms:
1. download Magisk.apk
2. rename it to Magisk.zip
3. flash it as a regular flashable zip from custom recovery
4. reboot.
Personally, I would not recommend rooting your phone unless you really need to. One of the main reasons for that is that banking apps and likely DRM apps won't work anymore. Yes, there are ways around that...but...if you don't need it, why make things complicated for no reason?

Hi, Do you have the same model?( Moto g60s xt2133-1 ).
I haven't done anything yet, I don't want to brick the cellphone.

I have rooted cellphones before but I need to be sure about the right files to do such thing.

I´ve followed the next instructions in order to root my cellphone. motorola g60s xt2133-1. with android 12
then after bootloader unlock , go to lolinet and download the file that corresponds to your cellphone.
in my case:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
I am using telcel service from Mexico so I choose RETAIL because I didn´t see amxmx (which corresponds to telcel) on the list.
I ´m using android 12 Compiled version : S3RLS32.114-25-1-3 (check about section in cellphone settings).
I downloaded this version.

extracted boot.img
then i followed the next instructions.

Hello.
Why did you want to root the phone?.
Can you modify some system settings with root? Specifically the speaker volume, since Android 12 basically broke it (it's insanely loud).
Have you looked into downgrading to Android 11?
Thanks .

Well, I am the same guy ("Daneka" but unfortunately I forgot my password), I rooted my phone in order to do Mac spoofing and It Is working very well.
About the speaker volume as far as I know there are some apps capable of managing your volume settings but they require root .
Hope this info helps you.
My personal opinion Android 11 ,I think, it Is More Stable than 12 .
