Chinaphonearena.com: Sponsor Forums Official No.1® Forum NO.1 X-Men X2 4G LTE rugged 3-proof Smartphone

Hi, same phone, same problem. The above site might be interesting for you. No.1 supplies Qualcomm software and the phone's firmware with a tutorial to root. I succeeded in putting firmware on a bricked X2, but still did not get root access. But I am a newby, so give it a try. Good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
Fixed X2 boot loop and not being recognised while bricked

Ok so if you are still bricked (as I temp was) use this program: qtadb . wordpress . com SLASH download.

it fixed my x2 which was in boot loop, could not use adb or the flash program to even see it, win 10 was not recognising anything driver wise.

just extract from the x2.rar with all the boot img etc: boot.img and recovery.img

locate most recent android sdk/platform tools folder when asked for it

click on the corresponding "flash recovery" in qtadb and locate the extracted image, do the same with the boot img tab and find your boot img

that's the order i did it in, i may have reset phone between them and cleared cache by holding vol+ and power and using boot loader. I had installed an msm8916 file to root, that apparently does not... ah well we live and learn.

looking for solution to turn that x2.rar into a rom.zip as kitchen does not work with it. maybe im doing something wrong?

anyway phone on again so the search continues...

help!!

Hi

This forum is the closest thing I have found which might help me in my problem to fix my 1 week old X2.

I really enjoyed using it - I got it 2 weeks ago - and it was working fine for all the week then last weekend I had a few apps running and the screen froze. I rebooted the phone but it just stayed black and never came on again. It is a stock standard phone - and it has not been rooted or modified in any way. Someone suggested removig the battery then refitting it.

How is that done?

Is that a good thing to do?

What else can I try?

Has anybody any idea on what might have caused this?

I'm stuck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjfh:
Hi,

I have one as well: it is indeed fun to play with but it is not reliable. I had multiple issues with it in the past months. Therefor my advice is: send it back and claim your guarantee (especially if you want to use it as your primary phone). Otherwise use the unbrick advice from markatkins earlier in this thread (but you have to feel secure with android)

good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeff_T:
Thanks Mjfh

Looks like I have to pay a premium on the freight via courier to get it back to China. The local postal service won't take it because it contains a (non-removable) Lithium battery.. I'm not sure about unbricking it as it seems it is a very complicated process - and seeing that it seems completely dead -(not any signs of life, no lights, no screen) do you thnk it is just a matter of a firmware reset? If I attempt to unbrick it - I lose the warranty right?

So my best bet I think is to depart with several tens of dollars for the freight and demand a replacement that will not bug out inside 2 weeks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
issue, try this

Look I had this issue regarding dead and not turning on... sometimes charging it for several hours and it would just come back to life, i believe it is a battery issue, reading battery (stock rom) and when it may say 15% for example, the battery is actually empty and it dies, the charging should make display turn on but does not for a long, long time.

if this does not work, hold down vol up or vol down plus power button, this can breath life into it (sometimes both up and down plus power) remember press all at exactly same time and hold for 10 seconds at least for reset (unless it comes back before 10 seconds)

been a while since i held my phone so check top of page for my instructions as it is in there

best of luck

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
just do what I did, post and tell them battery removed (tick the plane and ship boxes - should be on form for international post)

I looked up why battery is now banned, its stupid... thanks to the more dangerous li-pol battery types, starting fires in planes and stuff like exploding, the air transport authority decided to ban the li-pol (explodes and loads of fires every year) and in that they included the more reliable (not dangerous and very few accidents worldwide) li-ion which is what is in your phone... so batterys in general.

play dum, say no battery in phone and tick that box for sea/ship shipping

remember this is a 80 degree c proof phone, pressure proof and should be able to contain the fire, but a fire wont start...

otherwise pay AUD100 (convert to GBP or USD for a similar horrific amount no one should pay)

if your phone does explode or cause a fire in transit... i am not accountable, you do this at your own risk and risk of being fined etc blah blah... read about % of fires from li-pol and li-ion, you will see the chance is slim, slimmer once sealed in a phone that will give it a heat proof case to try and get past plus minimal air to fuel a fire... good luck fixing or sending

I found an app called KINGROOT and worked like a charm. It rooted my No.1 Xmen X2 with just one click, it even fix the Kitkat SD write problem in the process.

I had to erase the SD card after the rooting process for the fix to work and after the root, had to reboot the phone 2 times. Everything is working super fine so far. Hope this work for everyone!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
Trying new root version...

I have just tested the newest software from kingroot as advised released by denispunk, I am amazed as I only downloaded the previous version a few weeks ago, no luck with the old version of "new_kingroot...", however I may be in a slightly different position to others as my phone seams to have an issue locked in (despite flashing and wipe of partition) where it has a partial root access of some form, so trying this now......................

Tried 2 times and failed, I want to ask all reading this to please download (rename from .zip to .apk) and attempt root on their x2 or x6800. if you fail click on the huge submit button as I have been doing this for some time in the hope that they would see demand and accelerate the process of making a workaround.

For all looking (that search for root x6800 online ) this should work the same % for anyone with the no.1 x6800 and the x2 [I have the X2 and got money back from insurance claim, so I also have x6800 on the way :)] because the x2 and x6800 are the same rom from what I have researched, the only difference is the micro sd capacity, the 4g bands supported and a huge 6000mha battery in the x6800. most components otherwise are identical.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
All reading please have a go...

if you are reading this you have an x2 or x6800 or know someone who does...

if your not very experienced or if you are experienced in ROM work, try point 1 and then try point 2 below, but please just do point 1 if nothing else :)

1) email No.1 and "beg" for a android 5.0/64bit kernel ROM for the x2 and x6800 to be released - I have done this and want to encourage you all to help me force the company to meet consumer demand, by setting a consumer demand. This 64bit update would increase the phones potential as it has a 64bit CPU, it currently runs 32 bit software which is slowing it down.

once done read point 2

2) I wanted to see if some experienced persons could visit the en.no1phone.cc site and download the M2 firmware (not a spelling mistake) as this device and the x2 use the same unusual ROM's which look similar in layout. my hope is we can bind parts from the 2 ROM's together to get a 64bit android version onto the x2/x6800... please understand I do know this will need work and will most likely not work ever but with the unique rom types I figure there is no harm in trying and someone might have the ability to open them and do some magic.

now the phones are physically different but No.1 use the same basic layout in their ROM's and the most basic possible stock android with nothing but background pictures added.

my hope, from what I can see in the files of the two ROM's, is that we can merge/build the OS, kernal and some of the information from the M2 ROM into the x2 ROM (I have supplied the x2 rom in the top of this post on page 1) and hope that its basic enough to maybe work with some tweaking, I know the CPU is different and that I am explaining this simply like a drag and drop, but if it does work we can get 64 bit software for our CPU's

if all else fails we can hope No.1 release what we ask for, and you can flash the original x2 rom back onto the device until they release it or someone on here gets through the ROMS and makes us our own.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
Root worked

I finally sourced a slightly newer .apk and root worked. Kingroot will root no.1 x2 or no.1 x6800. So far used it to access battery stats with Xposed and installed one power guard to lower CPU speed to gain more battery. The device is very fluid still on 533mhz in power save CPU mode with I/O scheduler in "row"

I advise anyone looking for this phone rooted to visit the official www.kingroot.net site
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
Great news everybody, since my post asking for us to all send kingroot requests to support our device for root access, the number of requests jumped almost 30 points and they listened! Kingroot responded and now...

Kingroot.net will root the no.1 x2!

If you just landed here looking for the software to root the X2 or X6800 from No.1, please help us make this phone better, this forum helped get kingroot.net to enable root for the X2 so help us and say thank you by sending an email to no.1 regarding getting lollipop on the X2 and X6800.

You just need to...

Email: sale@001phone.cn

Skype: quecc1989

Or MSN: sky58168@hotmail.com

Ask for lollipop ROM to be made for the x2 and the x6800 and say it will make the phone faster and have a better battery life. Copy that if you like :)

Update on this: not only will the software give the phone a bit of a boost in power, it should improve battery life and I completely failed to mention before that we will have faster app boot times as well because we will get access to ART instead of Dalvik (Currently I cannot find a way to run ART in KitKat without factory resetting to get out of the nice boot loop it sticks me in).

For those unaware of what I am going on about, Dalvik is the runtime android is moving away from because it has to decompress each installed app before it runs, ART (android run time) installs app's already decompressed (more space used on install but fast launch). I find the x2's 8GB is plenty of internal space for applications so let's harass no.1 sales email and Facebook/twitter/google+until we get lollipop.

Official no.1 site is: http://en.001phone.cn

They use a picture for contact info but feel free to click on my links above for msn, Skype etc

Sorry if this was a ramble, but power of word is going to be easier than us taking and editing ROM's or making ROM's to get lollipop... If we harras them endlessly they will fold and build it for the phones and all it takes is one email each... Maybe a followup each too :)

I hope the same for the No.1 X6800

xdaforums.com/general/help/root-1-x6800-rugged-ip-68-phablet-china-t3254950

Not much people know the No.1 smartphones (the rugged ones are awesome for the price).

Update: I rooted the No.1 X6800 with 'NewKingRoot v4.62' app and after that buy the Super-SuMe-pro' app to keep it 'trustfully rooted and with SuperSU'.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markatkins:
Hi again.

I am unfortunately discontinuing my work on the ROM for no.1 phones x1 and x6800

firstly no.1 have listened, but want more money... they released an x2i with all the requested upgrades I sent months ago (and others via other sites)... but instead of keeping the hardware, they changed it so that the x2i rom wont work on the x2

the new model should be nice but keep in mind it is the same shell and there is no way it can stay crush proof and rugged and increase battery more than 500mah (I measured the space). so it is still only 2000mah or max 2500mah.

I am also done because I lost my device in a pool (wet and destroyed no matter what I tried to do to recover... rice, battery out etc.)

I have been waiting for the x6800 but to be honest I have found something else you may all know... blackview bv5000.

it may not be as rugged but it turns out, despite bad advertising, that it has a gorilla glass in it that can handle some serious hits (phone might not be crush proof though) and that with ip67 rating that I have seen user tests for 3 mins fully submerged, I think It does what I need.

also I don't believe the x2 is ip68 at all now, I am thinking its ip54-ip66 only. seeing as I had it repaired for water tightness once, it should have been tight the second time, but was not.

I do want to say though, it was in water, and it survived otherwise, but the screen touch was the item that went after being unable to return home to remove the battery fast enough (I think it sat with wet insides for 45+ mins).

so on a plus the hardware survived water inside for at least 20 mins before the touch went. so if you have an issue and your x2/x6800 does get wet, make sure you have a tool already that opens the bolts (iPhone 6 stardriver at any repair shop in a mall is compatible) keep it with you and open the x2 and cut the red wire if you cannot take off the soilder (I have portable batt solder iron)

ToolPRO in Australia (super cheap auto I think) has the right star shape driver to open, and Bunnings has the <AU$20 AA powered solider iron.

I will post a short review of the device and a link to the cheapest place I could buy it once I can confirm if it is as good as the x2.

I will keep an eye out here and answer any questions people may have like version of google movies that works and anything you come up with including a test flash of a ROM if someone makes one to get a 64bit version on the x2. only can flash and test boots ok though, but saves you from testing and loosing a phone. mine is not going anywhere but bin so I am happy to kill it with a non tested custom or similar phone spec ROM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeroensky:
Why should a manufacturer root a device they sell? I never seen that, because then they get more bricked devices back.

Did you try the latest kingroot?

Because my No.1 X6800 was so easy to root (Android 4.4.4). I used latest kingroot, and after that supersumepro. Without the need of a computer.

Ok, so I eventually got this running (both 32-bit and 64-bit Version 6.1.6965), but it was not a trivial install:

- had to disable firewall and antivirus

- had to uninstall all old versions and patches

- had to remove the device drivers for HTC USB Sync

If the PDA locks later based on time, the device center get connected and can sync...

This is the same with WMDC 6.0 ?
