Flashing the CWM file works problemless...

CWM and navigation with buttons works great too........but...... i have flashed the SuperSU_2.46 successfully.... after that the phone stucks on Bootlogo "LENNY2"... (i wait around 20min)

Nothing works after that, so i decides that it´s a goog idea to flash the hole rom V14 ... the device need a loog time to boot (ca. 15min) and now i have to rebuild my settings and apps... but thats ok...

That's great progress. At least you're back up and running! Good for you. After you're done rebuilding settings and so on, flash the SuperSu zip again. Then let us know if you're rooted.

The scatter file I used is EXACTLY the one posted by xixixix in page 9 of this thread. I right clicked it and downloaded.

It does not give me any error.

So the cause of yours must be something else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Me and [MENTION=6301917]adri123[/MENTION]. Can you please post the scatter.txt or is that asking too much? I want to compare it with what I downloaded. I think what I have downloaded is different! Has weird partition names.

Or if it is easier, can you open the scatter.txt with a text editor and take a screenshot of the first few partitions. The scatter.txt I downloaded from the same source has really weird partition names!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Thanks for posting up the scatter.txt file. I compared side by side with the one that I downloaded from the same source and they appear to be the same.

So you're right. Maybe something else is the matter. For example, I noticed that your version of SPFT shows a column called "Region". My SPFT doesn't have that! So it must be the version of SPFT. I can see that you're using version 5.1628. My version is 5.1408

This must be the reason. I have tried updating using the Help>Software Update option in the menu. But it always says I have the latest version. So I will now search online for this apparently newer version 5.1628.

[MENTION=6301917]adri123[/MENTION] what version of SPFT are you using? I think this may be the source of our problem where the scatter file fails to initialize.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
Hi CVAngelo,

I used both SPFT versions 5.1524.0 and 5.1436.0 and they both gave the same error.

Let's see with the new version.

By the way, what windows version do you have?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
I downloaded version 5.1636 from needrom.com and it works! No errors opening this scatter.txt. Weirdest thing.

I'm on Windows 7 64bit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
I downloaded SP FlashTool version 5.1628 from http://spflashtool.com/ and it worked: no more "invalid scatter file" problem ! Thanks!

Now i will try to flash a recovery.

[MENTION=6532230]CVAngelo[/MENTION], will you use CWM or TWRP? I'm new in these things and all the polls and forums i read say TWRP is better.

Edit: I managed to flash TWRP! youhoo!! Thank you all! Now i'm waiting for my USB OTG cable to be able actually use it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goingorbit:
A little thing more: I read somewhere that the battery must be detached during download of images (activated on the phone with volume up), but this will lead to SPFT BROM error.

So KEEP the battery connected, that works.

I tried TWRP but touchscreen is not working.

Where did you get a working port?

On TWRP.me Lenny 2 is not supported.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
Here is the TWRP i used and that was posted in this thread earlier but then removed (i dont know why) http://d-h.st/4xqq .

By the way, according to [MENTION=7288053]Predatorhaze[/MENTION], it's supposed to work ONLY with otg cable and USB cable mouse. Since I don't have an otg cable yet (waiting to be delivered from Hong Kong :)) I can't guarantee it will work. For the moment I see the TWRP menu and everything but cannot select any option since I can't click on them. In other words, I confirm your observations that touch screen does not work with this TWRP on the Lenny2.

[MENTION=7288053]Predatorhaze[/MENTION] do you confirm that TWRP works with otg cable and USB mouse with the Lenny2 ?

Cheers all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
I was planning to flash CWM because all I'm aiming to do is root the device so I can get rid of all the freaking bloatware that's jammed in the system. It's my wife's phone. And while I'd been waiting to figure out the SPFT error with the scatter, she's already run out of internal memory!

By the way, didn't you have to flash the patched boot.img before the custom recovery could work? And what version of the wiko firmware was on your Lenny 2?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goingorbit:
I do agree. CWM in this case is better than a crippled TWRP, though this last one is more powerful on every aspect.

If it's useful, I did first firmware (mine is V21) then boot and cwm in one shot and immediately reboot in cwm to apply SuperSU.

For the internal memory you should use Link2SD.

I did, obtaining a virtual 8GB vs. 1.5 in origin.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
Oh by it isn't necessary to flash a custom recovery in order to be able to root the phone. For me at least.

I rooted my phone already before flashing TWRP.

I rooted it with KingRoot. It worked after 3 trials i think.

I had Lenny2 version 8, then i went to wiko official site and with their little tool i installed version 21. I'm in Belgium.

When i go to phone settings, it still says Custom built version 8 but when i enter *#*#563412#*#* in the dialpad, it confirms me that the version is 21.

Here are all the info that appear when i enter the above code:

Model Number: LENNY2
Android version: 5.1
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1449/MD.WG.MP.V6.P12, 2015/09/02 10:15
Kernel version: 3.10.72 android@HTSVR12 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 12 15:38:46 CST 2016
Wiko build version: WIKO LENNY2 Version 21

Then i rooted it with KingRoot.

Then i think i installed Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v2.4

Then i installed Apps2SD (the developer was veeery supportive. amazing).

And now flashed TWRP. (worked after 3-4 trials).

But i didn't flash boot! Should i have done it ? It seems TWRP is working. By that i mean i booted into it. But i still didn't try clicking on its menu options sinc ei don't have an OTG cable yet at home.

SO do you confirm that if it booted into TWRP then i shouldn't do anything else with boot image ?

cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
I re-read the instructions. The patched boot image is for CWM (it's the Carliv version and it is awesome!) So I don't think you need to bother with the boot.img for TWRP.

I appreciate that you shared with that need trick to used the dial code to find the out the version number of the firmware. So I used it and found that the phone had v18. So I proceeded to simply flash the rooted boot image and the CWM. So now I have custom recovery finally!

I don't like KingRoot at all. So I am not going to root that way. I'm just going to flash the SuperSu v2.65 zip and root that way. It's the easiest way to root once you've got a custom recovery installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
OK. Glad you found your way. Keep us updated to tell us if everything went well.

Question 1 : I messed a bit with Apps2SD and i uninstalled some android packages i shouldn't have. I feel like flashing the original v21 rom again, with the official tool i mentioned above. But will that erase my TWRP as well ?

Question2 : I feel a bit bad that most of you (except Predatorhaze it seems) will go with CWM and i will go with TWRP. Do you think it's really bad i do that? What are the reasons not to go with TWRP ? Since i will have an OTG cable very soon.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Yes it's all good. After flashing the patched boot image and the custom recovery together, I booted into recovery and I really like the Carliv CWM. Then I tried to flash SuperSu from the external SD card but it turns out that the SD card won't mount for the some reasin. So I had to copy the SuperSu v2.65 zip to the internal SD card and flashed it from there. It went completely smoothly from there. So I am now rooted and debloated. I freed up about 500Mb of space by trashing all the bloatware and the Google apps that she doesn't use! So she's now a happy camper. Plus she has an 8Gb external SD (she always did). So her phone is now what she wants it to be for her.

Regarding your questions. Yes, you will lose your TWRP custom recovery if you flash the stock system to the phone. It will be replaced by the stock recovery of the stock ROM. But you should wait to get the OTA cable and mouse before you root. Just flash the SuperSu v2.65 zip or higher and you'll be rooted.

There's no reason not to go with TWRP. It's more flexible and capable than CWM. I always use TWRP for my own devices. But if you're just looking to root and backup frequently, CWM is fine too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
Thanks for your precious info.

A) How do i flash the SuperSu v2.65 zip ?

B) Could someone send me the Calendar Storage apk ? it's the com.android.providers.calendar (edit: not needed anymore. i downloaded it from here)

As i said earlier i uninstalled it by mistake and i'd like to put it back. This would allow me to not redo everything from scratch...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Once you have a custom recovery installed, to flash SuperSu zip (or any flashable zip) just copy the zip to the internal SD card and select Install Zip from SD from the recovery menu. Then select the zip and click on it. Then respond Yes when asked if to install.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri123:
Thank you CVAngelo.

So now i have TWRP installed and i'll let you know if everything goes well.

In the end i wont need to flash SuperSu, because i found the apk for the google calendar storage and i fixed it.

Let's see how everything goes when i get my OTG cable.

cheers all and thanks for the help

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
If you are going to use Flashify, your Lenny 2 must be rooted first, (and you should also install Busybox). You can root your device without PC using KingRoot (see post #100 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65428730).

Once you're rooted you can install the patched boot image and the CWM recovery. I'm not sure there's a TWRP recovery for Lenny 2 (just search the earlier posts).

WARNING: You MUST install the patched boot image along with CWM. If you install only the CWM, you will brick your Lenny 2. You have to flash BOTH!

hi all,

New to rooting and had to buy an emergency phone in France last week - fine for making calls but next to useless for installing apps (4gb of ROM -really!!??) given there's not enough space to download more than 1 app even if being put onto the memory card.

I've had a good read of this thread but reluctant to proceed. I've rooted my device and confirmed its rooted but the phone is only on android 5.1 not 5.1.1. There appears to be no updates available when i got to check for updates in the phone.

Am i ok to proceed with rooting using the files and guides on this thread given the above issue?

Thanks

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
As long as your phone is Wiko Lenny 2,you can use the files and information provided in this thread. Just make sure you follow exactly as described.

Just be aware that rooting your phone won't give you more space. However, even without rooting, when you first install an SD card, it will ask if you want the card to act as an extension of the internal memory. Say yes! And it warns you that the SD card will be formatted and you'll lose all the data on it. So make sure it's a new SD card.

This way, you'll have more memory albeit slower than internal ROM.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
It's a CUSTOM rom. It may very well be true. Hard to tell for sure because they don't give much info about the developer.

Even if it's true, just be aware that most custom ROMs typically have LOTS of bugs. So you should BACKUP your current ROM in case you wish to go back!

Yes. I have a rooted Lenny 2 among many other devices. The only custom ROMs I ever install on any of my phones is Cyanogen because they are the only developer I trust. But even they have bugs in their ROMs.

I have no idea if the ROM in that link works or not. I already told you what to do. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM. Then try the ROM provided in the link and tell us about your experience with it. And if you don't like that ROM, you can simply go back to what you have now by flashing your backup.

If you don't want to do that, then speak with someone who has installed that ROM.

I have the european rom, i don't know if you do too, and the flashing procedure i wrote before worked clean for me, without the need of doing complicated stuff! Only thing you have to do is download the tool to upgrade the rom, open it, let it extract the rom, pick up the folder where the rom is and substitute the recovery and boot files in the folder, and flash it through SP Flash Tool with phone off without the battery in and keeping the volume up pushed. I was able to fresh install the rom (format+install option) with modded recovery and boot and flash supersu afterwards. It was really easy! Shame my phone is broken tho.

Slt. J n sais si cela pourrais t'aider mais je te conseille la methode avec lucky patcher. Suis ces etapes suivantes:

* Tu telecharge l'app luckY originale.

* Telecharge kingroot et intalle-la.

-telecharger superSU ver2.78 zip Et intalle-le par le mode recuperation de ton telephone. A ce stade apres ca devrait faire l'affaire. Mais si cela ne marche pas . Continue comme suite:

enracine Kingroot comme fichier Systeme a partir de l'option install in system que tu trouvera dans lucky patcher.

_cela pourrait redemarrer ton telephone.

Apres va à kingroot lance-le.

Notice. Sache que si la premiere methode marche. Tu vas trouver une app nommée super utilisateur . C'est le gestionnaire de root. 2e methode avec kingroot si la 1ere lancée de l'app Kingroot encrée dans le system ne donne pas ; sors et relance encore. Essaie encore et encore.Tu devrais avoir l'accès root maintenant. Bne chance 😊😃😃

You have to turn USB Debugging on in Settings > Development on your phone. Once you turn that on, connect your phone to the computer (exit from MTK Droid Tools first). This will allow the ADB driver for your phone to be installed. Once that's done, fire up MTK Droid and connect your phone again.
