It does work on MTK devices I tested it on my XA (mt6755) but I never got up the courage to flash the boot delivery script (modem, preloader, etc)
For flashing the kernel, fotakernel, system, oem, userdata, etc it works fine on the XA.
The tool is mainly for Linux as the script is a .sh

Need custom recovery

Pls
Pls
Plsssss custom recovery
custom recovery m5 dual
yes please some developer please help us obtain recovery for our xperia m5's if i could have done it i already would have but im a noob at building recoveries ..........................sighh:crying::crying:
I've been using flash fire but takes too long please developers make a custom recovery
Yes please, I just got this from a great Vodafone deal, but would LOVE to have this set up like my Xperia T, with a locked bootloader, but custom recovery and debloated clean android
It's not that easy. As you may already know, Xperia devices doesn't have a dedicated recovery partition and thus you need to pack recovery together with the stock kernel and put a selector at boot (like "press up to go to recovery"). Besides that, the main issue I see right now is the lack of support from Flashtool, basically you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash new boot images, by unlocking the bootloader, Xperia Companion/Sony Update Service refuses to repair the device if something goes wrong, and since Flashtool also doesn't work, your device may end soft-bricked until you go to a Service Center, and that's what just happened to me =/
I was looking into the possibility of getting TWRP working with our device, but at least until Flashtool becomes compatible with our Xperia M5 I won't mess with the boot partition anymore. At my first try I got a non working boot partition but managed to get back to a working state, but then I tried a more "hacky" approach by getting the TWRP RAM Disk of a similar device, making the required changes (fstab, etc) and then repacking with our stock kernel but things didn't go well, I got my device soft-bricked again but this time it would go only into flash mode (no fastboot) and since Xperia Companion/Sony Update service refused to repair my phone because of the unlocked bootloader condition at the time of the failure and the lack of Flashtool support my only choice was sending it to the Service Center, now I'm currently without my phone *sigh*
@mbc07 good luck getting your phone back quickly, let's us know how it goes.
Yes, I have already posted on the flashtool thread to encourage them to support this phone. I hope the fact it is not on snapdragon does not put them off too much.
I may be wrong but it's not a matter of having a MediaTek/Qualcomm SoC, it looks like late-2015 Xperia devices uses a slight different S1 protocol that's not handled by current versions of Flashtool (especially the TA stuff). I saw some Z5 Premium owners having incompatibilities too and to reforce my assumption, Xperia C/C4/E4 are MediaTek-based devices but they work fine with Flashtool...
Since the Sony introduced drm-verity or what ever it is root on locked Bootloader with working recovery maybe nigh on impossible. Yes I know there's kingroot, flashtool is just a waiting game pretty sure it'll be included at some point
At least i know people are trying to get this for us. This thread has reassured me, thanks guys
Yep, I think things are moving in the right direction for those with big brains to make a big breakthrough for us!
News?
Has anyone tried it? :/ https://www.google.co.id/url?sa=t&s...gg9MAg&usg=AFQjCNHT7mAg7aMNhUEo3lpJYpzkL9KFRQ
Is flashtool still not compatible?

Yes, but you need an unlockable bootloader and a TA Backup (optional, but highly recommended). You just need to use this kernel...

Looking to be pointed in the direction of a root for Galaxy Tab A6 sm-t280

Hey guys,
Been searching for a few days now ive tried several root methods
the ones from playstore like
Kingroot
Kingoroot
Kingoroot desktop
Its a galaxy tab a6 running android 5.1.1
Build number LMY47V.T280XXU0APB6
All of the above say they can root it but they all failed
I have seen posts on forums such as this one offering custom roms for the device so I must assume there is a root somewhere and I just cant find it.
Any help would be extremely apreceated

Nope, no root for this device until an exploit is found.
Where is this custom rom you speak of?
I don't remember sorry
Is it likely one will be found a exploit I mean ?

I've tried everything possible so far to obtain root.
Hopefully eventually one of the apps like Kingroot will work.
Why the heck Samsung locked the bootloader on this device I have no bloomin idea!
Me either no contactless pay as no cellular so why ?
I got mine direct from Samsung and the bloat is horrific
8gb model and over half of it is unusable and without a root an sd card isent really much help
In essence I have gta sa installed and can't put anything else on its infuriating!

It's still possible to customize the stock rom.
I have made some modifications to it and flashed no issues.
This means it can at least be debloated.

Hello ashyx
I have the sm-T285m. Yes, I could not root it using the usual programs out there. Any way to inject root into the system image and then reflash it through odin? (as you mentioned you have managed to debloat it-maybe a dumb question as am sure you already looked into it) I recall trying to do such a thing on Huawei Mediapad x2 when there was no root but ran into issues after I accidentally overwrote my entire windows o/s and disk with linux and then gave up (had to extract files from image, add the su then recompile something like that?...from memory over a year back and was only my first and only foray into linux) The odin tar files are separate ones for modem, system, bootloader etc.
Thanks

I already tried prerooting the system image.
It wont boot because the boot.img needs to be patched and you can't patch the boot.img on a bootloader locked device.
I even asked Chainfire if there was any other way and he said no.

Thanks Ashyx...you mentioned you managed to debloat it. I tried ext4unpacker (maybe archaic now though recall it worked on 5.0.2) to separate the system.img into components but could not. I am interested in editing system image
(A) change dpi (increase the lcd density to 380 or so to get things bigger),
(B) change system font (put in a preferred ttf font),
(C) remove many unneeded (for me) google apps from the system folder, and
(D) enable mobile data auto on off for mms via the features.xml or others.xml. Do you think these could be done (you already mentioned the debloat).
typically i managed to get all of the above done if rooted.
Any advice appreciated on how to do this unpacking and repacking.
Thanks
does this help? opensouce kernel?
(again maybe preaching to the choir but thought I'd ask-not knowledgeable here but posting if it helps in getting to a semi-rooted type state somehow)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sm-t285
btw i 'managed' to get oem unlock to show as checked permanently...does that mean the bootloader is unlocked now? (cross flashed through odin the 285 on my 285m the system CP file...and reverted back to 285m-no difference though in network as modem was still 285m as was partition and BL-reflashed the BL as well separately for 285m-after all this shows oem unlock checked-when i got the device new it was unchecked)
edit...from what it appears, it means it CAN be unlocked, yes? but not actually unlocked?

It wont make any difference. Enabling OEM unlock doesn't unlock the bootloader.
You still wont be able to flash unsigned boot or recovery images.
It will only allow you to flash an unsigned system image.
I use Ubuntu to mount and edit Ext4 images.
You can use the windows or Linux version of simg2img to convert the sparse image to raw then mount in Linux
Tbh Samsung need to provide an unlock for this device like they do for the Chinese devices as there is no reason why this device should have a locked bootloader.

LG k10 lgms428

I have a MetroPCS LG K-10 lgms428. That phone comes with the OEM unlock under the development section in the menu. I know how to eat an unlock it and send a command through fastboot. This will unlock the bootloader after I do that would it be possible for me to flash a version of cdb cwm or TWRP for a recovery and then rooted with SuperSU? If anyone has any links or info on this I would really appreciate it thank you

Its a good idea, I found link's for twrp for ms420 devices (mtk) but I was wondering if a twrp can be ported to work on ms428 (lz4)
No sure, don't really know much about porting.
I'm also working off of the friends laptop still trying to install Android SDK I'm just too unlock the bootloader. The laptop Works horribly so probably won't even have the bootloader unlocked till tomorrow.
Once that's done though willing to try anything to get root. I've been going to the forum, many people want root.

How do you unlock the bootloader just by "fastboot oem unlock"? It doesn't work. There are root methods already present for the devices.

Hey there I've had the LG K10 for about a month now it's ****ing blows kingroot doesn't work neither does any other new app that I found it's real nice if XDA Developers could developer root strategy until then I am stuck with a pretty much useless phone
No root at all I'm still frustrated
But I was wondering there's a system-less root by chainfire
There's a way to flash it via adb or fastboot?

I had an idea if adding this command manually using the same method to the kingroot package will root my device properly without any risk off hardbrick?

You guys unlocked Bootloader? Without unlocking bootloader the TWRP wont work.
I have unlocked bootloader on metropcs k10, qualcomm variant. Used minimal adb and fastboot on a laptop with win 7. In windows, nothing worked until i used master admin privilege. Open command prompt, type " net user administrator /active:yes " and restart your computer. As soon as it booted up it found my device and installed drivers. Bootloader unlocked right away. Now i want to install twrp. Would flashing through adb and fastboot be the best way??

new to nexus. any easy bootloader/root method?

Hey Nexus family I'm new here. I've tried to follow the directions in dev section but can't seem to get this thing cracked open. Command shell noon. So is there a simpler version to achieve bootloader and root? Thanks
Easy and also best way (since you get to know al the necessary steps) is to follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
Agree with @peltus. It's worth to learn input via command line. Only 1 annotation: Win10 didn't connect by fastboot, so I took a Linux-Pc.
you can also use Nexus Root Toolkit
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Rootkit is just not recommended: may work, but you find threads here about issues.
Toolkits may work fine but if you run into problems you may need to fastboot anyway to fix things. So why not learn exactly what you need to do in the first place?
On another note I do fastboot everything on Windows 10 from a USB 3.0 port. You just need the correct drivers or revert to a USB 2.0 port maybe.

Command shell. Nexus root toolkit has come a long ways but damn near everything it does could be one simple command and a lot less reboots. Just remember the first time you unlock your bootloader you'll wipe your data and i could never get helium working right on 7. Get lastpass, let it reset you, root away. On Nexus devices it literally could not get any easier. (For us--thanks devs!)

Lg k10 at&t

Hey all. I Have a AT&T LG K10 (K425 Build number is MXB48T). As the new model is slated to release, im becoming more set on the opinion that our devices will not be receiving Nougat. So my sights have been set on rooting. My question is this: what can I do to root my device? (And to give you a clue to my experience, I have been using a Huawei fusion 2 from 2010 ( old I know. I didn't have a choice in that one ) which had a slim ROM on it, with a hugely modified system which was for a virtual memory file to increase its performance).
I've noticed that there isn't exactly much development on other versions, but if someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.

Non of the k10s that's running marshmallow (so 95% of them) can be rooted by any one click stuff (like kingroot,...). So the other solution would be to install Supersu in TWRP. In order to get into TWRP you either need to be rooted (obviously you are not) or you should get into fastboot and boot into TWRP from there. The MTK versions can get to fastboot and boot into TWRP without any problems. However the qualcomm versions are rarely able to get into fastboot and even if you manage to get into fastboot there is no way to flash or even just boot into TWRP... not to mention that you need to unlock your bootloader first which is also problematic in the qualcomm case.

My former LG LEON had the same symptoms. I guess it's qualcomms "secret" weapon against people trying to validate their warranty even if they messed up the device themselves...
Is it possible to downgrade to LL, and then root?OR Would doing that just be superlative to have MM?

Hey all. I Have a AT&T LG K10 (K425 Build number is MXB48T). As the new model is slated to release, im becoming more set on the opinion that our devices will not be receiving Nougat. So my sights have been set on rooting. My question is this: what can I do to root my device? (And to give you a clue to my experience, I have been using a Huawei fusion 2 from 2010 ( old I know. I didn't have a choice in that one ) which had a slim ROM on it, with a hugely modified system which was for a virtual memory file to increase its performance).
I've noticed that there isn't exactly much development on other versions, but if someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.

You can root if you are in MM too... Forget KingRoot... I am working on a new root method based of dirty cow. It involves very deep analysis of "init" and replacing sepolicy and getting root. It will be out in few days.

Since you have qualcomm chipset there is no way to root it.

Almost every phone is rootable but most of them see easy root methods like one click root and stuff.
I am working on a new root method based of dirtycow. I am able to get temporary root using dirty cow on Android 6.0. Now I am making it permanent. Even MTK can root using the method. It will be out in few days!
