[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafioso:
Guide to rooting infocus Epic 1 (for windows) for build 00.

This method is only tested on build 00IN_1_360 only. If you are on the older build, first update your phone to build 00IN_1_360 then proceed. Check Build number in settings->about phone.

Proceed at your own risk, I will not be help responsible if your phone bricks, Your warranty will be void after this. Also all phone data will be lost including data on internal memory like photos, etc after these steps so take necessary backups.

Prepare your system

1. Extract and Install MTK Driver Auto Installer v5.1632 (google it)

2. Install Phone F Driver (from phone CD-emulation/driver folder upon connecting your phone)

3. Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer v.1.4.2 (from xda)

4. Download latest SuperSU flashable zip file from here

5. Download twrp-3.0.3-0-epic1-noveritynoencrypt.zip from here, extract in the folder where you have installed adb and fastboot

6. Download noencryptnoverty_boot.zip from attachments and extract to folder where you have installed adb and fastboot

Steps to root:

1. Enable Developer options in phone settings (goto phone settings -> about phone -> tap build number 7 times)

1a. Enable OEM unlock

1b. Enable USB Debugging

2. Connect phone to computer, wait for hardware to auto install

3. open cmd as administrator

3a. goto the directory where adb and fastboot is installed

4. type command:

4a.

adb reboot bootloader

(Wait for phone to come in fastboot)

4b.

fastboot OEM unlock

(press vol up key on phone)

4c.

fastboot flash boot noveritynoencrypt.img

4d.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4e.

fastboot reboot

You will get an phone orange state prompt, do not worry its normal. Phone may reboot once or twice. Wait for phone to normal bootup.

5. open cmd and type command

5e.

adb reboot recovery

Phone will reboot in recovery i.e. TWRP

6. Tap on Keep system read-only. Do not swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for password, don't enter any press back.

7a. Tap Wipe -> Format Data. Come out to main menu, then click reboot and then recovery to restart recovery.

7b. Tap Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select Dalvik /ART, Cache, Data and Internal Storage. This is important step, as these partitions are encrypted at the moment, so if you flash anything the phone rom may corrupt.

8. Come out and then Tap Reboot -> System

9. Once the phone is back, turn off the phone. Then power on with vol up key pressed to boot into TWRP

10. Tap Backup, select all partitions, select phone storage (SD card preferred) and take backup (optional step but highly recommended )
