[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuxoide:
Hi CVAngelo, thanks for your answer.

I forgot to mention that MTK Droid Tools fails to generate the scatter.txt file. Doing some research I found out that at this time it doesn't support MT6580M. Anyways I managed to make a rom backup using this tool but it completes the process with errors.

here is a list of what I've tried.

1. On my phone I did a Wipe data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache using the stock recovery but it didnt help, still on bootloop.

2. I did a data backup on my friend's phone using the stock recovery and it was placed on his SD card , then I put his SD on my phone and did a data restore. It didn't help, still on bootloop.

3.Rooted my friend's phone using King Root and installed Busybox. It was successfull. Decided to stay with the King Root app to prevent bricking my friend's phone.

4. I tried MTK Droid Tools to extract the Rom from my friends phone. It says it was complete with errors

(ERROR :No Split Boot Image" - ERROR: Zero file, no space left on device! - ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default )

There is plenty of space on the device and SD Card so I dont know what this means. Later I found out that this SoC is not supported yet by MTK Droid Tools

5. Tried editing MTKdroidTools.ini to make this SoC compatible. I managed to create a scatter file to use with SP Flash tools but I had no luck preparing

the previous Rom extracted from my friend's phone to use with SP Flash Tools since it was incomplete/corrupted (not sure).

6. Tried to flash CWM on my friend's phone using MTK Droid Tools but it didn't work (ERROR :No Split Boot Image)

7. Tried installing Philz Recovery and TWRP for MTK on my friend's phone using Easy Magic Istallers with both. Neither worked. It says It was successfull but

when I rebooted to recovery it was the same stock recovery.

8. Tried using MTK Droid Tools on my phone but it hangs in the process of recognizing my phone.

9. I managed to make a Nandroid Backup of my friend's phone using the app called Online Nandroid Backup. It was successfully placed on the SD and then I saved it to my pc.

10. I managed to extract boot.img and recovery.img from my friend's phone using the app called Flashify and saved it to my pc.

So all I have now is My Bricked Phone; a Nandroid Backup taken from my friend's phone; the files boot.img and recovery.img taken from my friend's phone.

Just as you said, Im tempted to try this TWRP for Wiko Lenny 2 on my phone. But I don't know man, I don't want to make things worse :laugh: I hope there's another way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
No, not MTK Droid Tools. I said to use SP FLASH TOOL to make the ROM backup from the working device and using the same tool to flash the ROM onto your own phone. SP Flash Tool will recover your phone. Use the following guide to learn how to use SP Flash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzyYXAflmOk

Hi! I have some news about rooting our phone, Wiko Lenny 2. I just installed KingRoot and pressed root, was curious if it will actually work. I had like 50% chance to get root and it worked! Here is SS from

[IMG="Root Checker"]http://i.imgur.com/qVT2DAH.png[/IMG]

. You can get KingRoot here. Not sure if it will work on clean rom since I did it with already flashed CWM and while charging phone with USB connected to PC. But I guess it's worth a try.

With this method status bar coloring is working as it should, without need to install xposed and flat style colored bars. I already checked Root Explorer and it's working like a charm, so does Lucky Patcher. For now, I'm trying to get Xposed to work...

[MENTION=5514839]Unfortunately[/MENTION] Xposed is not working with whis root. Will just give black screen with option with to show power menu. Sad.jpg

All the tutorials I've seen about SPFT make use of MTK droid tools wich is not compatible with my phone. :crying:

I need the scatter file in order to make the rom dump using SPFT and the scatter file can only be created through MTK droid tools :crying: :crying: :(

Thanks bro, I appreciate that you are using your time to help me. I guess I'll have to wait for a new version of MTK Droid Tools.

no it has been rooted properly and also running fine and also i made a custom recovey ctrcwm for wiko lenny 2 ,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Nope. That's not true at all. You can get the scatter file for your phone from sources other than MTK Droid. Isn't the scatter.txt already posted in this thread (post #83)? Check the earlier posts!

Once you have the scatter, you're good to go with SPFT. You do NOT need MTK Droid!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluedragon38:
I exactly follow your instruction. Because a friend have a problem with this phone. he reset it but forget his gmail adress -_- and the phone ask to put the same gmail adresse -_- (first time i see this on android phone what the hell !) so i follow oyur instruction for flashing ROM , but when i connect to phone "shutdown" to computer , i hear the sound that the phone is connected to computer but SPFT do NOTHING.. and the phone "charge"... what the hell :/ i start to be crazy with this WIKO phone -_-

edit: the sound of connected device is here , then there is te sound of disconnected device -_-
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keminekoo:
Make sure if drivers are installed. Restart SPFT, try to take of battery, wait couple of second, put it inside, wait another couple of seconds and it should work. If not... do it again. It happenes to me every time but it usually works after 2nd / 3rd try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
See my earlier post #74. Even if he [MENTION=4167693]bluedragon38[/MENTION] can successfully flash the phone, it will NOT solve the original problem. That problem is the new anti-reset (anti-theft) protection on Android 5.1.1 which REQUIRES the user to input the Gmail address and password that was used to setup the phone prior to factory reset. It cannot be defeated in theory. It is like the iCloud lock on iPhone (stupid piece of crap).

After he flashes the phone, assuming it's even allowed by this lock from hell, it will continue to ask for the Gmail account and password. The solution is to recover the Gmail account and reset the password if it was forgotten and if his friend had set up the account recovery options. However, once that is done, he has to wait 72 hours before the phone will even accept the new Gmail password.

If he can't recover the Gmail account that was used to setup the phone, unfortunately, he's s**t out of luck. The phone becomes a brick! Thanks Google.

BTW, I read of someone claiming that there may be an exploit in version 5.0 of Lollipop. But I don't believe it. If true, it would be all over the Internet. DOES ANYONE HAVE VERSION 5.0 FOR THE LENNY2 so I can confirm if indeed the anti-reset protection can be defeated this way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keminekoo:
As far as I know, Lenny 2 is shipped with 5.1 so there is no way for 5.0 unless someone will port it but why since 5.0 has a lot of memory leaks and stuff.

Another thing is that when you buy the phone, do some stuff and do factory reset, yes.. it will ask for Google account which was used before and there is no way to bypass that. But when you are flashing ROM it's erasing all and it's giving you option to either login using Google account / create new one or skip this step and have it without it, and when you want to add account, you can go to settings and just add it. So he can actually flash the ROM and use phone without problem (you can install apk from sdcard so problem is only stuff that needs to be sync) and meantime he can recover his Google acc. / even if there is a need for account after flashing ROM, you can make new one so android will be satisfied and play with gettings old one back.

Also since he has Google acc I bet he was using it in some web browsers or so. There is always an option to check the fields or options and look for it. Even if you are not saving passwords, it will save your mail/login in some fields (i.e. facebook login) if you use it frequently.

Sync is a nice thing, tho. So are stickies / notes to write stuff down ^^

Yes i read many articles and its ****ing stupid... thanks genius google ! so i must contact the wiko S.A.V.... :/ What the hell ...

edit: and as i told you its not my phone.. i try to unlock it for my friend and he doesn't remember what he does ... and of course .. he gives a wrong number to check google account.. (number finish by 07 and i don't find it !)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluedragon38:
So finaly i call to WIKO after sell service. And they tell me to update the phone... I try it during 3 days before call them and of course , when i call them it works... (i do exactly the same thing and they explain to me that sometimes you must try and try and try ... sorry but its not normal in my opinion i have no probs with samsung/sony etc...)

anyway now it works ! The upgrade "f*cked" the google protection ! :D

now time to root .. so i will read what you said ! :D

edit: and i validate that kingroot work perfectly !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
His situation must be different from my own. I cannot boot the phone unless I can provide the Google account and password. So there is no way to "update" the system or search through any websites...I cannot get to the point of the home screen. My Lenny 2 is an effing brick! Flashing it will do absolutely nothing to defeat the anti-reset lock. Just look at all the info on the Internet. Even if you flash the phone, it will indeed keep asking for the Google account and password which I do not have. I can't recover the account because there were no recovery options when the account was created.

There is no way around this for me as I believe you're right that there's no Android 5.0 for Lenny 2.

Hi! I have bought this phone about a month ago and rooted with supersu (with old version of Supersume) unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and made a backup with it, but... whenever I restore any partition(s) it gets stuck on the "Wiko game changer" logo and after a while it reboots in recovery. Is it normal? The only way I can get it working again is to reflash the whole rom (again!!). I cannot even grab logcat or something... How can I avoid to flash the entire rom?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red john 07:
Advice please I don't found any custom ROM for my wiko why should I install custom recovery then
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
There are several other benefits of having a custom recovery besides flashing custom ROMs:

* conveniently and rapidly create full/partial backups of your device

* flash SuperSu v2.65 to quickly root your device if it isn't already rooted

* clear your dalvik cache without being rooted

* flash a custom startup boot image onto your device (different from boot logo and animation)

* quickly flash back to stock from a disastrous custom ROM

Does Root persist?

Or anyone already updated and can confirm same root method working?

Gesendet von meinem LENNY2 mit Tapatalk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
No root will certainly not persist! However, if you have flashed a custom recovery on your phone, the OTA will fail...you need stock recovery and stock boot image/kernel in order to install OTAs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobmaster:
You can try Flashfire from Chainfire, it has a feature for detecting ota updates and keeping root though I didn't tried it yet, cause I don't have any update in the software updates app, but you can try it. Just remember to keep a full backup from CWM just in case something goes wrong and report here and in the G+ Flashfire community.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keminekoo:
As long as you have root (through kingroot at least), you can download Flashify from Google play store, download recovery.img to your phone and flash it using app above. Remember to select "disable recovery flash" when prompted so it won't flash stock again.

Also I'm on the newest update v18 (at least for my country, dunno if there is any newer) and either replacing boot.img or using kingroot works without problem. Root works. (Just trying to get xposed to work on stock kernel.)

@ whoever whants to have working xposed (it worked for me at least) loook at those posts: 1 & 2, install busybox and reboot phone. After that you can download "Device Controler" from PlayStore and check if SeLinux is Permissive if yes, then you should be able to install xposed without bootloop.

Noob questions:

Why is it necessary to move the sh file to a new directory? SUPERsuME does not do it automatically or is this something needed specially for Wiko phones? I've never had to do this with other phones on which I executed SuperSuME.

Why is it necessary to make this Su file permissive?

What will happen if you DON'T run those lines of code to make Su permissive?

I'm eager to learn about this.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keminekoo:
Welp, those commands are just to make selinux permissive in lollipop. Not much to do with supersume. I was digging after that since even after changing kingroot to supersu I got bootloop when I was trying to install xposed. So basically you want to do this to get Xposed working, it wont work without premissive selinux at least on lollipop.

Help with Selinux

Good day gentlemen, was trying to make selinux permissive like in the sudo terminal suggestion by kanimekoo,

that last command in the terminal returns this:

"Usage: chmod [OPTION] <MODE> <FILE>

-R, --recursive change files and directories recursively

--help display this help and exit"

and even after that some apps say selinux is "enforcing", some say it's "disabled"... please help.

I installed the cwm provided in this thread, it works fine until I flash some zip with it then I get bootloops, so was forced to install the boot.img provided in this thread too, but then selinux will no longer get enabled/ permissive, I got permissive mode on stock Lenny2 lollipop 5.1 v21.

I was just here for the cwm, I can't get it through mtkdroid cos it doesn't support this phone.

I had no problem rooting it before (using kingroot).

Try this way... Search Google Play Store for app called "Universal Init.d" enable it and then go with this link. It should do the job too if it comes to permissive selinux.

I kinda need my phone so I don't have much time to play with it. Tried today and it stuck at bootloop so I'm going back to stock.

But as all of us know there isn't any source code for mediatek devices using our processor (mt6580m). I already tried to make a TWRP port from other devices that share the same mediatek chip but it had no touch. I also noticed that even Flashfire's aroma framebuffer is lacking the touch, even if it uses the stock kernel... so (I think) there's some libs (or something like that) that load at boot that give us the full touch capability... For now I prefer the stock system (with little modifications but heavy optimization) as I cannot use it as a guinea pig since it is my only (working) device...
