Hello, does anyone know a working method for rooting the Xolo A500S? Here's a link to the device if you want to see which device I am talking about :
http://www.gsmarena.com/xolo_a500s-5613.php
I found threads which were about rooting the Xolo A500 but none for A500S. In fact, I couldn't find anything related to this device on xda-forums which is sad. I hope this will, at least catch some attention of developers and experimenters.
I hope someone can find something lol.
Try this one

Apart from the generic warning about how one is always susceptible to bricking of one's device for trying to root his device, how safe is this?
I root spice mi 525, micromax canvas 4 and other 4 to 5 smartphone by this app successful.

It worked!! It didn't work at first with the SuperUser Installation post rooting but it worked with SuperSU post rooting! Thanks!
Now, how can we gain access to a flashable stock kernel and ROM images for the same model? Or does anyone have them?
Has anyone tried unlocking the bootloader for this (or similar) devices?
Try with supersu and restart device.

Thanks. Like i said, it worked already with the supersu app. Ahh now of only we could get the stock rom and kernel for this device.

I asked Chainfire on one of his threads earlier and it seems that CF-Auto-Root won't work for us...
Let's see if there's another way at least - original thread here.
Yes just read what he said. There must be another way surely.

Hi! I've been trying to download the OTA update on my phone but it stays on:
"Checking for available update.
Please wait..."
Anyone knows why? My phone is rooted by the way and bootloder is unlocked. Please help.
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When the device is rooted and is running stock ROM, the OTA updates are not working properly on most devices. For example, in my Galaxy Y, when I tried to install a new firmware it stopped during the installation and rebooted on the old firmware. Then it displayed the known s*** like "The installation was not succesfull. Please try installing the firmware using Kies".
Otherwise, if your device is running a Custom ROM, you can update to the newest version without a problem.

Ok. Thanks for answering. What if I unroot the device? Is it possible the update works if I unroot the device?
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you unroot your device, you will be able to install a new firmware on it. Are you using stock or custom ROM?

I'm using stock ROM.

OK then. The solution is on the post 5. Unroot the device, install the new firmware and you can root the phone again if you want.

Has anyone ever tried flashing the international version nc2 firmware on to their SM-N900A? If so did the phone work? Or did it brick? I'm just curious. Was thinking of doing this but, I don't want to brick my phone. Don't care if I trip knox.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Stock firmware will screw your phone. Only use a custom ported ROM.
Why would you want to flash the stock international firmware anyways.

I've always found the international versions to run games and apps so much more smoother ever since the captivate days. I like to play games and run a lot of apps on my phone and for some reason international versions always out performs the at&t bloated crap.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So what if I would use a kernel for the n9005 to get custom recovery. Would that screw up my phone aswell?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes. Locked bootloaders. If you were able to successfully flash it (you wouldn't) it would brick. You would need to unlock the bootloaders (can't be done at this time) to be able to flash a different kernel.
If any of this were possible (it's not) we would not be having a problem.

Basically... There is a lot more than just flashing required to make stuff work. The code has to be modified to run on our device, as well as bootloaders being signed and locked to each phone.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks graydiggy for your help. If that's the case I would rather just use all these nice ROMs that all these fine devs have prepared for us. Also what tutorial would you recommend to learn how to port ROMs to our device? I've been wanting to learn this for a long while now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have no idea about tutorials for software...
But this is a good place to start http://xda-university.com
I'm more into hardware mods than anything.

I did same as your suggestion. I disabled sim 2. Even though if someone calls me on that number he can hear the ring and here i don't get any notification as i have already disabled it. So it creates more confusion.

First flash beta 2 then reboot setup everything like Google account etc. Then flash BETA3 over it and don't wipe or factory reset just flash it as an update. Maybe it works. As worked for me
