Guest dulpit Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hello all. I picked up one of these phones yesterday and so far, so impressed. One thing is bothering me, I can't seem to get OTA updates or acquire root. Would appreciate help with either. My phone is Irish, and is running the IE02C version. As far as I know there should be at least 1 update beyond this for Ireland. Have tried to find update, no joy. I switched to UK version (via links here), and again tried to update OTA, no joy (and as far I as I can tell there are possibly 2 updates available for UK). It's all very strange. With regards to getting root, I have tried Kingo & Wondershare MobileGo, both fail for me. From what I've read, these should have worked very easily. I miss my titanium backup & adblocker, any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brackehill_mob Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I've got 2 of these phones. My wife's rooted easily with MobileGo but i had to run it 3 times on mine to get root. Keep trying. When you succeed get twrp on it and then install SuperSu via twrp otherwise you'll lose root when you reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 updates for 5.0.2 are no more You must wait for update to appear on ota. Try getting temp root install twrp and install supersu through there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lunario Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Latest su6 appears to have system. Write protected that ks why you need twrp to root Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadowprime4512 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 For me root worked only with kingroot, but only on a clean android install before login into google services. Maybe it was just a coincidence but it was the only way i got a successful temporary root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my phone didn't open again. After SDCard update, my phone reboots and said "system update installing", phone didn't boot again, not even recovery! I'm really scared of doing same thing. My phone returned from Technical Service today. I don't know should I wait for OTA update or making sdcard update again :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bladebuddy Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 This worked for anyone, flashed the stock rom, didn't sign in, tried 4 different kingroot versions & mobilego root option, phone rebooted but root failed. Drivers installed e.t.c. Would like to know if folks with write protection managed to get root as I must be doing something wrong. Bought the device last Friday so I am guessing its write protected.
