Leagoo Elite 1 Root/TWRP/SuperUser

I give no guarantee for this to work and take no responsibility for any damage you do to your phone, I have this working 100% on my Leagoo Elite 1 that shipped with version 1013 of firmware.

Installed from Windows 7, I make no claims on other versions of Windows.

REQUIREMENTS:

Functioning brain

ADB Installed correctly (Guides on XDA)

VCOM Drivers (Comes with SP Flash Tool)

SP Flash Tool ( http://spflashtool.com/ )

Stock Rom ( http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-elite-1/ )

TWRP Recovery from this post ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63692847&postcount=85 ) (Thanks to yankeeboy)

KingoRoot ( https://www.kingoapp.com/ )

GUIDE:

Firstly, BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE!!!

Flashing any rom will wipe all data from the phone. If there is anything you want to keep, take note of it now and back it all up! If you do not know how to do this, either turn back now, or go find a guide for it.

MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS AT LEAST 60% CHARGED SO IT DOES NOT DIE AND BRICK ITSELF WHILE FLASHING

Step 1 - Install/extract all programs mentioned above (ADB, VCOM, SP Flash, KingoRoot) and download Stock Rom and TWRP Recovery. Extract stock rom and twrp recovery from their zip/rar into their own folders.

Step 2 - SETTING UP FOR ROOT

-Open up Sp Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe(run as admin to be safe if applicable))

-Click download tab up the top

-Click Scatter-Loading button

-Navigate to "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" in the extracted ROM folder

-All sections in the table should fill out with files (If they don't, ensure the rom was extracted properly)

-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool

-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL

-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC

-Boot into Android to make sure all is well

Step 3 - PUSHING TWRP RECOVERY TO PHONE

-Open up SP Flash Tool again and it should load up the previous scatter file (If not, simply navigate to the same txt file mentioned in the last section)

-Uncheck all the boxes to make sure you don't reflash the whole Rom

-Click the box underneath LOCATION and across from RECOVERY

-Navigate to the "recovery.img" extracted from the TWRP zip/rar

-Double check the recovery box is the only one checked

-Turn off your Leagoo Elite 1, disconnect from PC if currently connected and hit the big Download button on SP Flash Tool

-Connect your phone and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL A GREEN TICK COMES UP FROM SP FLASH TOOL

-Close SP Flash Tool and disconnect phone from PC

-Boot into Recovery (Volume Up + Power) to make sure all is well

-Set language if required and reboot back to system (DO NOT INSTALL SUPERSU IF IT ASKS FROM HERE)

Congratulations you now have TWRP Recovery.

Step 4 - ROOT WITH KINGO ROOT

-Connect phone to PC

-Go to phone settings, "General Setting", "About Phone", Tap "Build Number" until it says you are now a developer

-Hit back, go to Developer Options, Turn on USB Debugging and go back to home screen

-Run Kingo Root on PC

-Kingo Root should detect your phone accurately and tell you what to do from here to finish the root

-Wait potentially a VERY long time for everything to install depending on your PC/Internet connection

-If you see a blue app with a tick on your phone screen, then root is good!

-Go to your phone dialer and dial *#*#3646633#*#*

-Swipe right to the "Log and Debugging" tab

-Tap User2Root then Root

-Get "BusyBox" app from Play Store and install busybox (this may not be 100% necessary but makes sure all is installed correctly)

Phone is now rooted, check with any root checker if desired

From here it is easy to do anything like install Xposed framework and mads etc.

For the Leagoo Elite 1 you will want this version of the framework or a later update of the SDK 22/ARM64 version http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm64/xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64.zip

Just flash using Flash Fire, there are many tutorials for how to do this.
