Rooted rooted rooted..

Read This Before you begin:

" If you brick / damage / change your device after root you can NOT revert back to Stock rom as there is no Custom Recovery has been ported and nor will be ported !!( device has been obsolated :eek:"

So think Twice Before you Root

Finally i found a way to root intel yolo aka xolo x500 or ANY OTHER x86 device..

it's exploit> Cydia Impactor..

Downloads

Root Tool

http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/

Drivers

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-android-device-usb-driver

Method.

Install Drivers..

On your Phone Turn on Usb Debugging mode . (Settings>Advanced>Usb debugging )

Extract Impactor.zip

Run Impactor.exe

**BACK UP YOUR ROM DUMP **

Now copy and Paste this code in Impactor. ( See the Attachment..)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/mnt/sdcard_ext/system.img

This will generate System.img file of about 768MB in your /mnt/sdcard_ext ( I.e your Memory Card ..)

Copy it to you PC or somewhere this might come in Handy someday..

However i do NOT know anyway to flash this image on Bricked device !!

Select to drop su.

DOne..

The rest you have to do is just install your favorite super user manager,

Personally i use supersu..

If you have any problems,

SHOOT ME MAILS,

I DON'T FREQUENTLY LOG ON TO XDA / MODACO etc..

HERE IS MY MAIL ID:

cyberpunk.pc@gmail.com

A Thing or Two you might wanna know,

1: This is root exploit,

So if you delete superuser.apk and su binary, NO OEM can tell that your device was rooted or not.. :laugh:

2: THIS IS AN X86 device not ARM,

i.e.:

a> Some root tools which uses arm binaries wont work on device.

b>Filesystem structure is bit different on X86 than ARM , so THINK TWICE before you screw up anything.

c> If you are Linux user then NEVER rely on useless apks,

Old fashion way of Terminal is best..

DO NOT USE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE..

CHAINFIRE 3D and any other Chainfire applications .. (They are build for ARM devices.)

Recovery Softwares .. ( There are NO CWM or even STOCK rom available for this device ..)

This software are SURE to BRICK YOUR DEVICE...

.

I hope you enjoy my post..:angel:

Although Xolo x500/ Intel Yolo are clones, the stock roms are different ,

Especially /system/app ..

In Xolo phones, Intel Wireless Display application is not provided, but YOLO does..

how do i backup stockrom for intel yolo?plese help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrus_pc:
Trust me or NOT , Your have screwed your system ..

It's not gonna restart ,

Solution: Just go to Service station , just tell them my phone got hanged . ( Act like you are noob ),

They will flash your phone with stock rom.

DONT TELL ANY THING ABOUT ROOTING , or your warranty is VOID !!

Why this happened ?

1> Chainfire 3d is designed for ARM devices , not INTEL (x86) devices..

2> Even developer says it's not for ICS ..

3> LAST BUT NOT LEAST: YOU did not read my whole post where i already mention not to Rely on APKs ..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mosta der Popanz:
thanks dude it's what i did and my mobile phone is still in Service provider Company and i really didn't read the whole post but can you tell me alternative app like chainfire 3d and way to move app to ext_sdcard on this Device , and how can we install stock rom on this ****ing Device thanks in Advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew Andrax:
Oh Man...you beat me to it...but it's totally ok. I was to post the same answer today :cool:

To get the Apk for the Intel wireless, my suggestion is the use of a playstore app called 'Bluetooth file transfer" send the Intel wireless apk to another Bluetooth enabled droid and you can easily harvest it to install in any other droid that is supported.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ricoh Brainii:
Hey andrew Andrax...what do you really mean by harvesting??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew Andrax:
Sorry...I meant the program will extract the said program as an apk and send it via Bluetooth. Then you can sideload the apk to another phone and install it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew Andrax:
Your link is all about running android 4.2 in an emulator on a netbook or laptop with 32bit architecture. The chip on the BT210 is a hybrid of the Intel atom chip. So this won't really work. I think the only way to get a custom ROM will be to build from source( AOSP ROM ). I am working on setting up my work environment but I haven't got access to a laptop(mine died on me) an internet connection that will allow me to download the android source code(9gb download size). It will take time. But you guys can try your luck and do the building. Cheers.

Official Flash Tool Leaked

Good News..

Official Flash Tool has been leaked .

"www.adrive.com/public/fdR6fN.html"

Using this tool All intel medfield phones can be flashed...

"NO STOCK ROM IS AVAILABLE YET"

So DON'T USE THIS TOOL UNLESS YOU HAVE SYSTEM IMAGE
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harryson50:
how do i use the tool?:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrus_pc:
Tools Usage

With this tool , Direct System On Chip Flashing is supported which means we no longer require unlocked bootloader,

Also this tool Archive ships with Recovery and Droid boot image..

So one can Try out new recoveries and can also revert back to old recovery..

The worst thing is No system rom is available any where.,

I highly doubt if manufacturers have it !!

One has to backup his stock rom with romdump or DD method ..

And later in case of failure one can flash it using this tool ...

Need To Port CWM

I have tried Every possible ways to flash Stock Rom but due to Fastboot limitation for Larger Files,

System Dump Cant be flashed directly, Now all we need is Custom Recovery..

I arrived at following conclusions after my all efforts:

Conclusion:

1. Boot loaders are NOT LOCKED !! ( Good News)

2. Fastboot won't allow to flash Larger Files than 100 MB :crying:

3. Only way to Enjoy ROM tweaking is now to Port CWM Recovery.:confused:

Find some developers who are experienced with this stuff ....

By the way you can back up your stock rom using this command

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/mnt/sdcard/IMAGE_NAME.img

Here is X is partition number ..

Go to /dev/block/ and find your partition numbers there..

They usually starts with mmcblk.

WHOA!!!

My phone got a soft brick after turning it off after 3 months of being on everyday :( Well, this has to be a dilemma. I am planning on using the leaked flash tool to recover my phone (It is my only phone at the moment :crying: ) If anybody has a rom dump of this phone, please pm me a link to a copy of it so I can start work immediately. I promise to post on results that I may get. The rom dump will also help me be able to also start work on a custom recovery for our phone (that is if noone has yet to start work on it)

Thanks in advance. Eagerly waiting for a response. Cheers.

P.S. I guess it would help if you just linked a copy of the rom dump on this wall as it will help any enthusiastic enough developer with this phone to also start work on a custom rom if possible. ;)

ROM DUMP

You'll first need the following:

Downloads

Root Tool

http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/

Drivers

http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...ice-usb-driver

Method.

Install Drivers..

On your Phone Turn on Usb Debugging mode . (Settings>Advanced>Usb debugging )

Extract Impactor.zip

Run Impactor.exe

Once Impactor.exe starts running, DO NOT root the phone. Rather use the open temporary shell to execute the following DD commands

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/mnt/sdcard/IMAGE_NAME.img

Where X is partition number ..

Go to /dev/block/ and find your partition numbers there..

They usually start with mmcblk. (To find this, you could install ES Filemanager from google play store and navigate to the filesystem of the phone (/sdcard/ and not /sdcard/ext ...which the latter is your external sd card)

This will provide the stock rom which will be more than sufficient for use to recover the phone. Thanks.:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raoulteeuwen:
The link provided did not work, but i found some Intel Android drivers ... Got to /dev/block. Found mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1 ... mmcblk0p9 ... What to use for the X?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrus_pc:
How to Backup ..

Just use this command as super user...

By the way You have LOST you stock rom as soon as rooted .. ( You should have backed up your stock rom before rooting ...)

However this image is still be usable ...

So cheers !!

I followed instructions: "Once Impactor.exe starts running, DO NOT root the phone.

For those whom have accidentaly bricked their devices here comes a solution:

First i will assume you own a completely bricked phone and you are desperately looking for a fix .

Good news for you is that you can give your Yolo phone a new lease of life.

Since at the time of this post there is no official rom and flash tools for your safaricom yolo phone ,we shall use xolo x500 which is almost similar to yolo b210 (difference is dual simcard for x500)

Step one grab all the necessary tools from here

(androidxda)

Choose the x500 rom

Install all the necessary drivers included in the downloaded zip

Install the flasher , if it throws up an error check that you have installed all the drivers correctly

The tool is easy to use and the rom file contains all the necessary tools to unbrick your device even if its completely bricked

I hope this info will be helpfull
