[GUIDE] How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 / 10.5.1.A.0.292 [Locked Bootloader]

[Kavindu911]

Flashing

Because you are only flashing the kernel from an earlier firmware version. This is not altering anything else and that's why it only takes seconds.

Basically -
1. Install Flashtool.
2. Open Flashtool.
3. Press the lightning bolt icon.
4. Select "Flashmode".
5. Browse to and select the 230 kernel only FTF file.
6. Press "Flash".
7. Power your phone off.
8. Hold volume DOWN and connect the USB to the PC while still holding the volume down key. You can release the volume down key when flashing commences.
9. Wait until the kernel is flashed and it says you can disconnect your device. Disconnect it and power it on.

Then run Easy Root and follow the on screen instructions.

When you're rooted, follow the instructions above and flash the 283 or 292 kernel only ftf, depending on your installed firmware version.

No team viewer, but install the drivers linked in the first post, then follow the steps in this post. Flashtool is very simple to use, to be honest.

Did you try this that is linked in the driver pack thread?
If so, I cannot help any further as I have Windows 7 and therefore have no driver issues.

hi, i was using your method but sadly it didnt work.

When i was in the rooting part, after opening exroot it says"tr.apk not found. Trying to download.....". It cannot connect to the site afterwards, im in my office and the network is restricted. This is most definitely the reason, couldnt download it with the phone either in the website.

So i tried the flashtool root tool, it was supousedly working ok, but at one point it said root finished, rebooting.... and nothing happened, i rebooted manually, flashed the .283 kernel no problem. (superuser was in the app list so i assumed root was ok)

I tought process was over but realized the root didnt work ok, rootchecker says root is not complete and i cant get access trough flashtool as it just says root access denied but i dont get any message on the phone other than "shell has been granted superuser permissions".

Finally i tried to install supersu instead of superuser but it just said, failed try again after reboot.
Got any thoughts? sorry for all the rambling, im thinking of trying to unroot but not qute sure where to go now.

 

[kingvortex]

Reboot and open SuperSu again. It should update the binaries then.

If not, do it somewhere that Internet isn't restricted. The steps in the guide work fine.

If you can't follow a (let's be frank) very simple tutorial, I don't really think tinkering with your phone is such a good idea.

If you have flashed a 10.5.1.A.0.283 rom to your device then yes, this guide and the kernels will work for you.
