Rooting Sonim XP8 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?

I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I did read somewhere (on XDA) that someone rooted the XP7 with kingoRoot, but....that's all I've found.

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.

any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone

Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work

I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.

ZTE N9520 / Stormer / warp-2 root?

Anyone have any luck rooting the zte stormer / n9520? I know the zte warp (n9510) has a root method already, but I was wondering if that would work on the upcoming zte stormer. I know its not out yet but maybe someone has a pre release device?
Here's the info:
N9520, android 4.1.2
Baseband: N9520B01
Kernel 3.4.0-svn10453 [email protected]
SW: N9520V1.0.0B02
HW: cyyB
ZTE is obviously pretty new to the us cellphone market, so it doesn't seem like there's been lots of progress made on rooting their phones yet. Or maybe there's just not many people buying them yet??
Are there any generic rooting methods that are common for ZTE devices? I'm just not finding a lot of results.

I own a few ZTE devices and as far as I'm concerned there are no ZTE specific roots. The older ZTE Blade device was able to be easily rooted using Z4Root apk which basically runs a Gingerbreak exploit. There are other Android OS specific exploits capable of rooting ZTE devices (i.e. Bin4ry for ICS devices) but most of these have been patched by now. ZTE devices definitely do not have as big market as Samsung devices and therefore development for these is less. I would recommend Vroot V1.7.1 one-click root tool that has allowed me to successfully root a variety of JB devices whenever you have the new Stormer in hand.

Root method for zte n9520
Hey guys. So I asked this question a bit back and found an answer...check out this Post. http://www.photo-cool.com/?p=136637 I even emailed the guy and he responded telling me that everything remains the same but the phone is rooted so you can use "Root" apps ie: Titanium etc. The guy will also update the post as soon as he finds a custom rom that might work on it but for now just to root the phone, follow these simple instructions. So this might've solved the issue. I found a cheap case on ebay that came with a screen protector and a car plug for like 5 bucks. Anyway...love the phone
Once again page is :

rooting the zte max
Yes the guy happens to be me and hes right just follow the directions i posted and you should be fine. I am working on a way to get the custom recovery working so we can then proceed on making custom roms on it i have 2 of these phones so i definitely dont mind building and testing on one of the devices since i purchased it to develope around it. Zte has always been difficult to get around but when theres a will theres a way and i determined to find it.
Most already knew about the root before he posted, but I greatly appreciate you working on recovery and roms. Would you possibly have an eta on those or custom kernel's?

The answer lies entirely on which build version is in the phone. The only known rootable version is 2.17.605.2 (a.k.a the "First OTA").
If your phone(s) have this build, do NOT allow the latest OTA to install. Root them immediately. Several methods are available, just refer to the resource index for your desired method. I highly recommend s-off, regardless of which method you choose.
If you have the prior build version, 1.43.605.3, then MANUALLY install the 2.17.605.2. RUU, Root immediately thereafter. Make sure you kill the ability for the OTA to be checked/installed.
If you have the latest version, 2.19.605.2, it is unknown at this time how to root...

Alcatel One Touch Evolve 2 (4037T) Lollipop Custom Update

Has anyone found a way to update the phone to lollipop? I have rooted the phone successfully through KingRoot, and wanted to go to the latest version of the software. There was this extremely sketchy set of links leading to a bunch of websites that use the typical survey scam to steal your information. If anyone has any real information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Have any of you guys found a reliable way to do this yet? Most of the links or guides I've seen on this so far seem a little be hand wavey in one way or another.
Also, you used kingo root to root it? It wouldn't work when I downloaded the apk, did you have to download it to your desktop?

Did you get it to work with google play? WHat ROM did you use, I'm unsure if I should use the GR3 (model TAG-L--) or the TIT-AL00 ROM.

Did you manage to get it working with google services?
I'm guessing the guys in this thread have either sorted the problem or no longer need the solution. However, if anyone else is in the same position, I'm just updating to let you know that I (with a lot of help from a friend) have got google play services installed and working on my phone. We used a combination of this thread which is the same process, but the device here is slightly different (TIT, not TAG) and therefore the CWM recovery file never worked on my phone. So using this thread, we were able to find the download TWRP instead (it links to another thread where you can download TWRP).
The entire process if fairly simple.
The hardest part for me was getting the bootloader code. I needed to contact Huawei consumer services (one of the European offices) and explain I needed the code. They told me I needed to contact the Chinese consumer services as that's where I bought the phone, they spoken very little English so it went nowhere fast. I contacted the same European office again and explained I cannot get the code via typing my info into the unlocker webpage, nor through the Chinese office. So they managed to get back to me after a day or so with the code (I needed to send a screenshot of the unlocker page failing to give me the code, along with the other phone info the unlocker page asks for).
Once you have that, just follow the guide for the TIT-AL00 (but with the TWRP recovery linked above). You don't need to root the device if you just want GAPPs. I have the device working with all the google apps etc, and didn't need root access.

I can install Playstore but can't download or update apps...ease if there any solution
this is a 2015 phone ... there's probably some thread discussion about this issue try using forum search bar

Still no news about getting Bootloader codes or about rooting?

Hello,
I just joined the forum because I can't find anywhere any way to get the bootloader code for my Huawei Honor 9 STF-L09 8.0.0.385(C432).
I want to root it but every way of rooting requires me to unlock the bootloader of my phone, but since Huawei stopped providing codes, there's absolutely no way to get it (at least I can't find it anywhere, and I've been searching for a whole months, trying different solutions such as Dc-unlocker etc. and none of them working of course, even though my phone is on the supported models list...).
So I'm asking you, do you have any recent and working solution to get my bootloader code or to root my phone?
Thanks !
Honor/Huawei has stopped giving them out
... Well, yes, as I mentioned. I was just asking if there was anyone there who managed to find a recent working solution other than asking them directly.
