I have rooted my X2-CU !!!!!

I know i have been rude with VROOT but i read on lenovo forums ( http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/9996-lenovo-vibe-x2-получение-root-прав/page-2 ) that the new vroot would work so i tried that. I had to download the one in the thread 1.8.0.12451 (because the latest didn't work).

Of course i had to disable my eset antivirus otherwise i couldn't download the file (hum hum). Then, once VROOT launched i had to be careful on my vibe x2 because the antivirus software put by lenovo on the phone needed a confirmation (two times, because it installs a chinese app for root, like superuser) then the phone rebooted and now i have root. I was able to install titanium backup and uninstall some crappy bloatware :)

Now i have to uninstall vroot and perform a full scan on my computer... yeah i'm ungrateful.

Hi

I recently bought a vibe x2 from a guy in aus who flashes them with a rom so they can run andriod. Long story short my brother updated the lenovo ui so its back to CU operating system (chinese) the guys overseas for the momeng and tried to walk me through reinstalling the rom he uses but i cannot get it to work. Im going to send it to him when he gets back.but during my trawling for lenovo drivers i came across this

]https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/phones/vibe-series/vibe-x2/downloads/DS101342

According to the guy its a complete ROW rom, it has everything youd need to use it but its beyond his skill level.

Ive looked around here a bit but have never seen domeone use this. Does anyone know how to??

(I am a complete noob by the way when it comes to this sort of thing, hardware i can do a little not software/programming, so layman terms appreciated )

Finally i rooted my Lenovo Vibe X2-EU

hello every one,

I bought my Lenovo Vibe X2-EU from KSA about 3 weeks ago. I updated the system to the last version "X2-EU_ROW_S126_150115"

i didn't try any tutorial before to root my smartphone, i only tried "Kingroot" which i found in other forum and it worked :)

it's so Easy to use (the app is in Chinese language) :

1 - Install the application "kingroot_3.5.0.apk".

2- Press the GREEN button and wait a few minutes.

3- Press the BLUE button and That's all :p your phone is rooted.

compiling kernel module

hi

i have a rooted lenovo vibe x2. i want to compile a kernel module for it.

( actually i need /dev/mem which is not compiled in)

i did a 'make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=... M=subdir' and got my module.ko

when i insmod, i get: exec format error

and dmesg:

version magic '3.10.35 mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 ' should be '3.10.35 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

i tried playing with configuration, and got to '3.10.35 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 '

however i can not loose the p2v8

this seems to come from: CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT,if i comment out the CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT, it reenables it when i compile.

looking further i found:

Symbol: ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT [=y]

Type : boolean

Prompt: Patch physical to virtual translations at runtime

Defined at arch/arm/Kconfig:219

Depends on: !XIP_KERNEL [=n] && MMU [=y] && (!ARCH_REALVIEW [=n] || !SPARSEMEM [=n])

Selected by: ARCH_MXC [=n] || ARCH_PICOXCELL [=n] || ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM [=y] && <choice> && MMU

i can not disable MMU, as it changes to armv5

disabling ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM means i need to select a processor type

any of the 'ARM Ltd.' either doesn't compile or is ignored

and i do not know what the '<choice>' is

any idea anyone ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cracktech:
Only amateurs will use Kingoroot , we normally would recommend Vroot/iRoot on Lenovo for desperate users since it is a clean install/uninstall. reason being Kingoroot doesnt use normal naming e.g "su" binaries is named "ksu" binaries on Kingoroot, and it installs "ksu" in other parts of system that a nrmal Superuser app doenst installs "su" e.g in bin folder and later it will be orphan file there effecting the smooth running of any future Superuser app. Even other Chinese Superuser exploits uses the name "Superuser" but Kingoroot will install "Kingroot.apk" (or something to that effect) instead of "Superuser". and if you try to install SuperSU update zip (after installing TWRP/CWM recovery) to try to replace the old Superuser (which it only replaces another Superuser.apk with another Superuser.apk) it will balk at first and will ask to remove the the previous Superuser (Kingroot) maybe successfully or maybe not. and then you will be stuck at neither being rooted by Kingoroot or SuperSU= no root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cracktech:
CU versus AP firmware

As far as I know the baseband for CU version is NOT compatible with North American Telcos, what you have to do is to get a modem file from a AP version and replace the modem file(s) into your AP firmware, the rest should be the same. That is what I gather from Lenovo Russia on X2. As far as it being rooted you better checked it since (as a user of many Lenovo phones models, I am) the SuperSU installed is not correctly installed if it is you should be able to run any rooted app on it like RoootExplorer as a test

The only long term permanent solution is to install an AP firmware.
