Hello! Anyone knows how can i root the Vodafone Smart 4?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psylos:
You can root it with cydia impactor.

first download the apk towelroot.

vodafone smart 4 is the yulong coolpad 7576u.

Vodafone SMART 4 POWER can somebody help me ?

Hello guys ! I have a Vodafone Smart 4 Power and i want to know if you can help me to root this phone . Is known also as Vodafone 985N and is made by Alcatel ( i think is a Alcatel onetouch pop S7 ) and it runs 4.4.2.

Any help will be greatly appreciated ! Greetings from Romania

Vodafone 985N Stock Rom

Can someone make a backup of Vodafone 985n? I need Vodafone 985n Stock Rom please.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hartcore:
So, let's do the point of the situation.

One month is past. The phone is starting to be commercialized well (vodafone plans, xmas shopping and so on).

I have a 890N with KK4.4.4. I'm waiting a second phone.

Kingo, SRSRoot and Impactor doesn't works.

They include any sort of exploit, from aragorn to signature bug passing by framaroot.

CP_unlock.apk closes.

I tried KingoRoot but is in chinese so I'm not sure of what it said, but doesn't root.

I'm downloading the firmware from yulong (Coolpad) website to try downgrading to 4.4.2 (known to be well-rootable).

But then how would I flash it? I'm not an expert but I suppose that obviously we haven't write permission, due to some sort of limitation by the bootloader. But if Coolpad releases CP-Unlock I think it's not their limitation. It's by vodafone or by google (supposing it because it stucks only with 4.4.4 but not 4.4.2 listening to users experiences).

That sort of recovery or quick-something doesn't help us? No hope or news?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
[MENTION=5755698]hartcore[/MENTION]

I've been there before and had even contacted my Chinese source (at manufacturer-forum) without any luck.

There isn't ANY OLDER(!) firmware for the 890N, like I wrote before.

You can NOT flash 889N firmware.

The bootloader is custom/locked and the recovery crippled.

Fastboot is crippled, too.

You will NOT get root, because there is NO known flaw which can be used.

This phone is exclusively made for the European market so it's less/not sold in China. Ergo less peoples are looking for root.

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hartcore:
I also contacted directly Coolpad but any answer for now.

I found the 4.4.3 firmware for 3601U that someone said it's compatible, I don't know on which basis.

Do you think it can do the trick? This isn't based on any china-phone, a similar, a better performance model, I dunno. Something that can pass like an official update, bypassing the locks, but is rootable.

It's frustrating have a chinese phone and can't root it. For example Airdroid 3 needs root, and I need it at work.

Without talk of other well-known functionality unlocked with root. I want the full control.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
[MENTION=5755698]hartcore[/MENTION]

As far as I know, there is no 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 for the 890N. Do you mind posting the link, please?

The 4.4.2 (for 889N) was rootable via Kingo or some other tools, like it's readable on the internet.

BUT if there is an older firmware, it has to be official, because otherwise you won't get it on the phone. The flash program (Coolpad CDA) checks the firmware (CPB) and the phone.

It's even possible, that the bootloader prevents the downgrade and only allows updates to newer firmwares. Coolpad has not the best reputation in that regard.

My Coolpad 9976A is flashable with SP-Flashtool, but it's only for MediaTek-devices and won't work on Qualcomm-SoC.

I want root too (for TB/AdAway/Xposed), but I don't think it will be easy at all.

vodafone 895n

hi guys !

sry but i got confused (big thread) anyone had luck with rooting the vodafone smart 4 power (895n) ?

and how ?

thanks !!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Unless you have an account at http://cscrm.obc.tcl.com/DHome/Login.aspx or it leaks I don't think you can get them. Try google.

As for Coolpad locked bootloaders I don't think they are locked (they do have a message on boot if you mess with it). Not even an imported china Coolpad one that I rooted for a friend had a locked bootloader.

The best bet is to build cwm with the kernel sources supplied by coolpad and attempt to create a cpb file with it (along the rest of the files that you can extract from the original cpb file).

Warning: Every time the phone boots it replaces the custom kernel so make sure you boot directly to the recovery mode after flashing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
[MENTION=2742499]blackburner[/MENTION]

It's a custom/locked bootloader, which prevents flashing unsigned files, like I mentioned before.

It doesn't matter how you spell it.

I own a Coolpad9976A myself (since Feb. 2014), so I do know it's behavior.

And yes, I've rooted my 9976A after every single update myself.

The latest 9976A-firmwares keep root, if you enable it in SuperSU.

You won't find a CPB-capable flashtool, which will write your modified CPB.

It has to be signed AND it has to pass the "special" bootloader.

They even crippled the recovery to almost no functionality.

This phone is exclusively made for the european market and doesn't behave like the regular CPs.

You can't compare these phones.

I also communicated with people at coolpad-forum with more or less no luck.

I don't like (wrong) information, which might work on any other phone, but won't work on this smartphone.

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've had the smart 4g and I couldn't flash much only part, theres a post in this thread with my experience. But after rooting I could flash anything even the bootloader. It was a custom one but it wasn't locked, it even had the qualcomm download mode (the flash disk mode with all partitions available on the PC).

The fastboot mode is pretty messed up.

Have you tried YGPD? I had some luck with it. The question is how to create a valid cpb and if the phone rejects it.

Now if the bootloader is locked or not there is no hard proof.

Edit: If your phone had a locked bootloader you could not even flash cwm. Or at the very least you couldn't execute it.

Edit 2: As far as I know for the smart 4 power users out there you can flash the alcatel pop s7 stock firmware (as always at you own risk, search the web).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
[MENTION=2742499]blackburner[/MENTION]

Keep in mind, that there are two versions of the smart4turbo (889N and 890N).

I've used YGPD and Coolpad CDA.

Yeah, the even messed up the fastboot-mode.

There are other ways to gain root access. You don't need a custom recovery.

All known exploits doesn't work for my 890N.

It's not my main phone and is more or less a mif/mobile router for my 9976A.

So my need for root is not so urgent.

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I know, kinda evil thing to do by Vodafone or Coolpad.

I bet that the fastboot mode needs a special handshake before it accepts flashing commands (or has a completely different protocol implemented atop of the flastboot usual one). Someone with the phone could use a usb sniffer an watch the process of flashing the phone with an stock firmware and see if thats the case.

Have you tried to flash anything with the flastboot mode? I bet it hangs and sits there forever right?

I've built a cwm image for the Smart 4G but I had to root the phone first so guess how I got in:)

If the bootloader is really locked only by exploit.

The phone was the Coolpad 8860U aka Vodafone Smart 4G, very easy to root. (Not vodafone smart 4, nor vodafone smart 4 turbo).

Yet I do have an idea to try root the new Vodafone Smart 4 turbo.

Extract system.img from the cpb file, install super su manually (mounting the system image on linux) and then do a direct replacement of the system.img on the cpb file with an hex editor (Still it will need checksum fixing).

For you and for all that mess its phones here it is my rom. FIRST OF ALL: I'm not responsible of resaults as a sports shop worker is not responsible if you hit someone with your new baseball bat. SECOND: It is not stock one, it have modifications such deleting some google software and some bloatware.

This also has one issue (I don't know why): Some google apps (specially problematic: Google Play Services and Google Keyboard) stop working, simply get error. I solvet it by unistalling and installing an old version of it (using adb or titanium backup you should be able to). Then, Play Store updated it with no problem. It should be right when you flash it. However, if you flash my rom and you face it, you know how I solved. I'm not a programmer so I can't help you with your specific issues.

I extract it following [MENTION=2742499]blackburner[/MENTION] instructions linked bellow:

Two possibilities:

1. Coolpad CDA, which is on the firmware-page too

2. YGPD is another program for the same purpose

Both restores the phone-software to its factory state.

A factory reset through Recovery should also to the trick, if you haven't deleted any apps with root access (so they are gone for good and only a reflash will bring them back).

The thing is I have two 890N (an excelent phone, really), one is mine and my brother has another one. One of them came with 4.4.2 and the other one with 4.4.4. I have rooted the one with the older version using towelroot, directly from the phone, and root works great, but no luck with the 4.4.4 one. So don't say it can't be rooted, if you want I can upload some pics. The other thing you were wrong is with the firmwares also. There are at least two of them, like I said before.

Yes, you need drivers for your phone. I'm not 100% certain, that you need to install them manually, because I never used that program and already had ADB and VCOM-drivers installed.

If the phones came from the same manufacturer and the programs/way how they work is the same, why should you spam the forum with different threads?

You only have to indicate which phone you're talking about.

Get the appropriate firmware AND software from Coolpad for your phone. The software, though it's in Chinese, isn't that hard to work with. The phones bootloader should prevent flashing the wrong firmware (from wrong phone for example).

We'll help you, but we can't hold your hand. :)
