[Development] How to root Wiko U Feel (Lite and non-Lite)
[Development] How to root Wiko U Feel (Lite and non-Lite)
(28-08-2016, 12:17 PM)bartos38 Hello. Unfortunately I can't load this file TWRP Wiko ufeel(non lite). Instead of this I got load stock recovery. What can I do with that?
Many thanks
(28-08-2016, 04:37 PM)chet Warning - also didn't really work for me, I'm now stuck with a soft-bricked phone that doesnt boot Android
This is what I did:
1) activated developer options of Marshmallow phone settings (enabled USB debugging)
2) set 'Allow OEM unlock bootloader' option in developer options of phone settings
3) unlocked bootloader using FASTBOOT (was successful, checked in FASTBOOT)
4) flashed TWRP recovery image from the above post using FASTBOOT
5) booted into TWRP (success!)
6) chose KEEP READ ONLY option in TWRP, was not asked whether device should be rooted
7) flashed latest SuperSU (from chainfire web site) zip file using TWRP install option (some mounting error messages, mainly NV_DATA...)
8)rebooted system
Observations:
a) systems hangs, doesn't boot android (stuck with screen: WIKO, game changer...))
b) TWRP recovery works
c) fastboot works
I'm not sure whether the phone soft-bricked due to flashing TWRP or flashing SuperSU afterwards (didn't boot it up between TWRP flashing and rooting).
BTW the scatter file attached to the TWRP recovery file for the WIKO U FEEL (non-light) doesn't work with SP flash tool (crashes). Probably because it was created with miracle box.
Questions:
Since I dumped the whole phone using miracle box before flashing TWRP/rooting I should be able to recover my phone. Which images do you thing I have to flash?
SYSTEM.IMG?
BOOT.IMG?
Tried flashing SYSTEM.IMG (renamed SYSTEM.BIN) using FASTBOOT but it didn't accept the image file.
Tried flashing in miracle box but gave a strange writing error (read back in miracle box works though).
Any advice to get this phone running again? Can the dumps created with miracle box be flashed with SP flash (after renaming the .BIN to .IMG?).
Does anyone have a scatter file for the WIKO U FEEL (non-lite) that's working in SP flash tool?
Help would be very much appreciated!
