Intro:
This thread will serve as a location for basic how-to guides for the Xiaomi Redmi 2. I'm going to start off with a couple of the more obvious ones and go from there. If anyone has any suggestions for additions please feel free to let me know.
By attempting any of the processes listed this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches on fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.

[INDEX] Xiaomi Redmi 2

Rooting your Redmi 2:
This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.
Note:
Rooting does not Void Warranty.
Caution:
This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.
In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.
Steps to follow for rooting:
Download the Root.zip and Copy the file to the folder 'Internal storage' (root of internal storage).
(File at the end of thread)
Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner, A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.
Wait until device will reboot.
After reboot a new app SuperSu will be installed.
Open the app and Choose "Continue".
Choose "Normal", Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, device will go into Boot Loop.
Note - Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, it will brick your device.
After sucessful updation , press ok.
Your Phone has now Root Permission.
Open any app using Root permission and SuperSU will ask for Permission.
Enjoy your rooted Redmi 2.
Un Root The Device:
For Un Root , open the SuperSU app,tap on Settings, Choose Full Unroot.
Your Device is Un Rooted Sucessfully. The SuperSU app will be removed.

Flashing Custom Recovery:
From Mobile:
Install Flashify app from Playstore
Once installed, access the application through app drawer.
Allow root access now and get navigate to Flashify’s home screen.
First take a backup of your recovery in case something goes wrong. (RECOMMENDED)
Now tap on recovery image and by "Choose the file" menu locate the .img file you want to flash.
After successful flashing it will ask you to reboot your device.
Done! You have custom recovery on your phone.
From PC:
Enable USB debugging, go to settings>about phone and then tap on Android/MIUI version 5 times. Developer Options will be enabled. Now go back to settings>Developer options and enable USB debugging.
ADB and Fastboot Drivers installed on your PC. I can provide you the drivers but it would be a better option to install MiFlash to get all the necessary drivers and Miflash software with you for future use.
Install Miflash on your PC. Lets suppose we installed it in C:\Xiaomi folder.
You can see two folders, proceed to "adb' folder
Then proceed to "Google" folder.
Proceed to "Android" Folder.
We are at our destination.
Now Hold down "Shift" button on your computer keyboard and right click with mouse on an empty part of the window. You will see that in the menu that appears, you have an option - "open command window here". Click on that
To verify if ADB is working and installed correctly, type "adb version" in the command window that opened without the code. You should get the adb version which means its working fine.
Turn off your Phone. When its completely switched off, press and hold "Volume Down" and "Power" button together and then the phone will turn on in Fastboot mode.
Use the USB cable to connect Phone to PC.
Copy the Recovery.img in the Android folder where we are running the Command prompt. (C:\Xiaomi\adb\Google\Android in my case as i installed Mi flash in C:\Xiaomi folder)
Now go back to command promt and enter the following commands -
Code:
fastboot devices
Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command to flash recovery image -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you enter this command, the recovery image will be flashed on your device. Once it is completed, enter the final command to reboot your phone -
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot.
You have have now completed flashing custom recovery replacing Stock Mi recovery on your Xiaomi Redmi 2.

Flashing custom ROMs:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom ROM you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of screen.
Note: This will factory reset your device. If your custom ROM doesn’t require a factory reset, then simply skip this step.
Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom ROMs .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom ROM installation process. This may take some time.
Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see “Wipe cache/dalvik” option, select it and then do “Swipe to wipe” on bottom of screen.
Once cache & dalvik wipe completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom ROM you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new ROM, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

Flashing Custom Kernels:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom Kernel you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
In the TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom Kernel .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom Kernel installation process. This may take some time.
Once flashing completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom Kernel you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new Kernel, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

Great !

New CM 12.1 is awesome, finally the camera works
I am curious on why I keep on losing root access. I never had that issue with any other phones and custom ROMs.

}
Setup, Preparation and Prerequisites
Basic tasks that I may refer to throughout this guide:
Open command prompt - Press Window Key + R, type in "cmd" (without the quotes), and hit enter.
Enter the bootloader - Turn the phone off. Hold volume down + power. The bootloader is also known as fastboot mode.
ADB and Fastboot Installation
Download the full Android SDK here (scroll to the bottom of the page>DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS>SDK Tools Only) or get a slimmed version containing only the essential components(Thanks @El Daddy)
Link removed since it expired
Extract the zip and place the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.
**If you chose to download the slimmed sdk skip to step 5**
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go into the android-sdk-windows folder and run SDK Manager.exe. Install the following packages (there are a total of 4 packages):
- Tools > Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools
- Extras > Android Support Library, Google USB Driver
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go back into the android-sdk-windows directory, and you should see a new folder named platform-tools. If you don't see this new folder, repeat the step above.
To confirm that it is indeed working, open a command prompt window and enter the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
adb version
If it displays "Android Debug Bridge version x.x.xx" it is working. If it is gives an error saying that adb is not a recognized command, it has not been successful. Carefully repeat the steps above if this is the case. Close the command prompt window when you are done.
USB Debugging - On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
Show File Extensions - Open a command prompt window and run "Control folders" (without the quotes). Go to the View tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. This will help avoid confusion when renaming files.
Battery - Ensure that your phone has at least 60% battery remaining, and that your PC is plugged in and wont shut down spontaneously during the process. The procedure doesn't take very long (5-15 minutes), but its best to have enough charge in case something goes wrong.
Backup (Optional) - Unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe all data from the device. This includes apps, settings and even the contents of the internal sdcard (pictures, music, etc.). Copy all important files off the phone onto a PC or upload them to a cloud.
Driver Installation - Try this first, but if that doesn't work look here. Still having issues? Give this a try. None of these working? Hopefully this does the trick.
Downloads
Download a custom recovery of your choice and the SuperSU zip below. Place both files (recovery image and root zip) in the platform-tools folder located on your desktop within the android-sdk-windows folder.
Custom Recovery:
TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) or ClockworkMod (CWM)
Root:
SuperSU
Information
Rooting a nexus device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: Unlocking the Bootloader, Installing a Custom Recovery and finally Rooting. Each new step relies on the previous step to have been completed, and a basic summary of each part is:
Unlocking Bootloader: Opens the door to the internal memory of the device to be written on to. This allows you to flash images onto the main partitions of the phone.
Installing a Custom Recovery: A custom recovery is flashed onto the recovery partition of the device and overwrites the stock recovery that exists by default. Custom recoveries bring lots of functionality and give you the ability to perform wipes, install flashable zips, create full backups of your NAND (Nandroid backup), and various other features. An unlocked bootloader is needed to install a custom recovery.
Rooting: You can gain root by either flashing via recovery a pre rooted custom rom, or flashing a zip containing the SuperSU binaries. A custom recovery is necessary to do this.
After completing these steps your phone will be rooted, the phone will have a custom recovery installed, and the phones bootloader will be unlocked. This, in my opinion, is the most practical and beneficial method for rooting your phone. It gives you some basic adb/fastboot knowledge, and should hopefully help you have a decent understanding of what is going on. Also this method will work regardless of what android version your phone has. Using a toolkit will only make things worse in the long run...learn to do it properly. It has been proven that every time you use a toolkit, god kills a kitten. Save the kittens.
If you are confused by anything in this guide, I would highly suggest getting it clarified being before moving on. Ask your question in this thread and I or someone else will likely answer. Also I'd suggest that you read over the whole thread a few times before actually doing anything to the phone.
Understand? Good...lets begin:
1. Unlocking Bootloader
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into the bootloader/fastboot mode by holding volume down + power.
Plug the phone into your PC, then open a command prompt window window and type:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.
If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command:
Remember that this step will wipe EVERYTHING off the phone
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
On the phone a screen should pop up asking whether or not you would like to unlock the bootloader. Use the volume rockers to highlight "Yes" then press power to confirm the action.
After the above command has finished excuting, run the following (DO NOT skip this step, it is more important than you think):
Code:
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot. Next you will be presented with a screen containing an android logo and a progress bar (this may take up to ten minutes to complete). Wait until the phone has fully booted up into android, then proceed onto the next section of the guide.
Close the command prompt window.
2. Installing a Custom Recovery
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into the bootloader/fastboot mode by holding volume down + power.
Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* Remember that you should place the file in the platform-tools folder inside of the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.
Open command prompt and run the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
On the phone, use the volume buttons to scroll onto "Restart Bootloader" and hit power to select it. After the bootloader reloads, use the volume buttons to scroll onto "Recovery Mode" and power to select it. You should then be greeted with your newly installed custom recovery.
Close the command prompt window.
3. Rooting
Now that your phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed you have a two options to gain root (Pick one or the other. You don't need to do both)
Option A) Flash SuperSU binaries which will give you root with the stock rom
Confirm that you have downloaded the SuperSU zip from the downloads section above and that it is located in the platform-tools folder inside of the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.
Turn the phone off then boot into the bootloader. (volume down + power). Once in the bootloader use the volume rockers to scroll onto Recovery Mode, then press power to select it. This should bring you into your newly installed custom recovery. Leave the phone at the home page of the custom recovery.
Open a command prompt window and run the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
Code:
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v[COLOR="Red"]X[/COLOR].[COLOR="red"]XX[/COLOR].zip /sdcard/
This will copy the SuperSU zip onto your phone. Once the command has completed continue.
Instructions for TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP):
Install > browse to SuperSU zip and select the it
Swipe to confirm the installation. Then reboot.
Instructions for ClockworkMod (CWM):
install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard.
Next, browse to the location where you previously copied the SuperSU zip and select the it.
To confirm the installation, scroll down to "Yes" and select it. The installation shouldn't take very long, and once it has completed you may reboot.
Option B) Flash a custom rom which will come pre-rooted
Note that not all custom roms will be pre rooted, however the majority of them are. Read the OP of the ROM thread to see what the verdict is.
Copy a custom rom (you can find these in the Nexus 5 Android Development and Nexus 5 Original Android Development section) onto the phone (remember the location where you copy it to)
Turn the phone off then boot into the bootloader. (volume down + power). Once in the bootloader use the volume rockers to scroll onto Recovery Mode, then press power to select it. This should bring you into your newly installed custom recovery. To install a custom rom the general procedure to follow is: factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash GApps. Here are the recovery specific instructions:
Instructions for TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP):
Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset
Install > browse to the location where you previously copied the ROM zip and select it > Swipe to confirm the installation
Install GApps using same process as ROM, then reboot.
Instructions for ClockworkMod (CWM):
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > navigate to the location of the rom > select the rom > confirm the installation by selecting "Yes"
After that you may install the GApps using the same method for flashing the rom, and finally reboot the phone.
Keep in mind that the first boot after installing a custom rom & wiping the phone may take longer than usual, as the phone will need to rebuild the dalvik cache and initialize other first boot stuff.
Congrats! That is all! Your phone now has an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery installed and is rooted...Plus you saved a kitten. Enjoy
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why am I seeing a red triangle with a dead android when booting into recovery even after I flashed a custom recovery?
What you are seeing is the stock recovery, meaning that the custom recovery that you flashed did not install correctly. Try the following suggestions:
Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your phone. Only use other ones, if the stock one isn't working
Try using different USB ports. USB 2.0 ports (the ones that ARE NOT blue) are preferable. USB 3.0 ports (the blue ones) may cause problems with connectivity.
If you are on a desktop, use the ports on the back of the tower instead of the ones in the front. These ports are directly connected to the motherboard, rather than the ones in the front which are usually attached to a header cable which then indirectly connects to the motherboard.
My phone wont boot into android. I can only access the bootloader and custom recovery. What do I do?
Suggestion 1: Factory reset via recovery.
TWRP Instructions:
Boot into recovery
Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset
Reboot
CWM Instructions:
Boot into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
If that doesn't work continue onto Suggestion 2.
Suggestion 2: Push a ROM to your phone and flash it.
Download a ROM onto your computer. If you don't have time to look for a ROM, just download the stock ROM.
Move the downloaded ROM onto your desktop, and rename the file to "ROM.zip" (without the quotation marks)
Boot phone into recovery
Open command prompt and run the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
Wait for it to finish copying the file, then flash the ROM. If you need further details on how to flash a ROM take a look at the OP, section 3. Rooting, Option B)
If that doesn't work continue onto Suggestion 3.
Suggestion 3: Flash the factory images.
Flash the factory images
My phone wont boot into android. I can only access the bootloader. What do I do?
Flash the factory images
My phone exploded. What do I do?
Tape it back together then flash the factory images
Awesome post. Got a question: if I ONLY unlock bootloader will I still be able to get and install OTA updates?

Yes, if you only unlock the bootloader you will still be able to get ota's. The lock state of your bootloader will not affect your ability to receive ota's.

What about if you unlock the boot loader and root, will you be able to get OTAs then? I guess a better question is what's the point of no return (without reflashing the factory image) where you break OTA updates? Thanks for the thread btw!
Can people please post confirmation of TWRP or CWM recoveries + rooting working without problems if they've done it? I know it's unofficially supported at this time, but getting some data collected would be useful.

If you unlock bootloader & root, and modify some system files, OTAs may not be able to pass some pre-install checks, at least this has happened to me on N4 before. I added one line to /etc/build.prop, also one of the older SuperSU versions had to be uninstalled for pre-install OTA checks to pass.

There isn't *yet* a booting custom recovery for the Nexus 5. Give it a couple of days.
I see some Desire folks
Did u order one chromium?
Is unlocking the bootloader going to be the same as on my GNex, where it wipes the device in the process? If so, this will be the first thing I do when I get it out of the box on Monday.

If you wipe cache exactly after you unlock the bootloader, without booting, no.

There are currently no working custom recoveries, so it really only makes sense to unlock the bootloader for now. That way you'll be ready to continue on with the guide right when a stable recovery is released.

Maybe it's a silly question, but can I unlock the bootloader before even booting up the phone for the first time? Can this cause some problems?

Ok, the wording in OP is:
"Currently neither recovery has official support for the Nexus 5, so the download links below are unofficial and may not be functioning 100% correctly."
and:
"**Warning: Currently there are no officially stable custom recoveries, so i would only recommend unlocking the bootloader for now**"
Which implied that it does work, just not thoroughly tested. Now from the recent replies you're saying it DOES NOT boot at all into recovery?

Yes that is correct, they do not boot. I will update the OP now, sorry for the confusion.
Originally I had read the following threads and it seemed that they were somewhat functioning, but it is now confirmed that neither one boots.

Understood? Good...let's begin
Setup, Preparation and Prerequisites​
Basic tasks that may be referred to throughout this guide:
Open command prompt - Press Shift + Right Click anywhere on the screen and select Open Command Window here/
Enter fastboot mode- Turn the phone off. Hold volume up + power until the "fastboot" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot -> Bootloader from the power menu.]
Enter recovery mode - Turn the phone off. Hold volume down + power until the "OnePlus Logo" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot -> Recovery from the power menu.]
ADB and Fastboot Installation​
1. Download the ADB For Windows from here :- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k
2. Run the .exe file downloaded from above as Administrator.
3. Press 'Y' every time the installer asks for.
4. Continue Driver Installation.
Now,ADB and Fastboot have been installed on your PC. Great !
Some Important Things​
Show File Extensions - Open a command prompt window and run "Control folders" (without the quotes). Go to the View tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. This will help avoid confusion when renaming files.
Battery - Ensure that your phone has at least 60% battery remaining, and that your PC is plugged in and wont shut down spontaneously during the process. The procedure doesn't take very long , but its best to have enough charge in case something goes wrong.
Backup (Optional) - Unlocking the bootloader will/should completely wipe all data from the device. This includes apps, settings and even the contents of the internal sdcard (pictures, music, etc.). Copy all important files off the phone onto a PC or upload them to a cloud.
Downloads
Download a custom recovery and the SuperSU zip below. Place both files on the desktop.
TWRP:
TWRP
Root:
SuperSU​
USB Debugging - On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
Enable OEM Unlocking - On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'OEM Unlocking' option. Also,a free advice, make sure that from now on,OEM unlocking option is enabled before you reboot. Sometimes,it might get disabled itself.
Enable Advanced Reboot - On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
1. Unlocking Bootloader
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power. The phone will display "fastboot" text indicating that it has successfully entered fastboot mode.
Plug the phone into your PC, then open a command prompt window on the desktop (Shift + Right Click -> Open Command Window here) and type :-
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.
If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command: Remember that this step will/should wipe EVERYTHING off the phone
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
After the above command has finished excuting, run the following
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now, your phone will reboot. Continue to the next step to install Custom Recovery ...
Wait until the phone has fully booted up into android, then adjust the following settings on the phone:
USB Debugging - On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
Enable OEM Unlocking - On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'OEM Unlocking' option. Also,a free advice, make sure that from now on,OEM unlocking option is enabled before you reboot. Sometimes,it might get disabled itself. [Most probabaly,it will already be enabled as you did it above.Then,NO NEED to disable and enable it.]
Enable Advanced Reboot - On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
2. Flashing TWRP
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power.
Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* ,Make sure that this file is placed on the desktop.
Open a new command prompt on desktop and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed.
In TWRP, select Reboot and then select System. Now your phone will boot into System and you have cleared Steps 2/3 . Grats.
So, now, time has come to do what we want to achieve through all this. The 'ROOT' . Keep following .
But,before that, take a Nandroid Backup.
3. Making a Nandroid Backup
Warning: before you make a backup with TWRP you must remove all lockscreen security. If you do not do this you will not be able to unlock your device after restoring your backup (entering your pin will result in an "incorrect pin" message), you'll be forced to perform a factory reset to boot into Android. To remove lockscreen security go to Settings>Security>Screen Lock and set it to swipe/none.
A Nandroid Backup is a very important thing to have before installing any custom software on your device. It's basically a backup of your stock system that you can fall back on if anything goes wrong or if you just want your stock ROM back. You can also use Nandroid Bckup to create a backup of your favorite ROM set up exactly the way you like it. The backup you create can be easily restored using the restore tool in TWRP recovery.
Boot into TWRP Recovery .
Go to Backup Menu and select all the listed partitions.
Swipe to take Backup. The process will take some time.
Reboot
Now, let us continue to rooting !
4. Rooting
Now that your phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed, you have two options to gain root (Pick one or the other. You don't need to do both. ).
Option A) Flash SuperSU binaries which will give you root with the stock ROM
Confirm that you have downloaded the SuperSU zip from the downloads section above. Connect OP3 to PC and send SuperSU to your phone.
Turn the phone off. Then boot into recovery mode by holding volume down + power. Leave the phone at the main screen of the custom recovery for now.
Install > browse to SuperSU zip and select it
Swipe to confirm the installation. Then reboot.
Option B) Flash a custom rom which will come pre-rooted
Note that not all custom roms will be pre rooted, however the majority of them are. Read the OP of the ROM thread to see what the verdict is.
Copy a custom rom (you can find these in the OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development section of XDA or Custom OP3 Software section on OnePlus Forums) onto the phone (remember the location of where you copy it to)
Turn the phone off then boot into recovery mode by holding volume down + power. To install a custom ROM the general procedure to follow is: wipe Dalvik + System + Data + Cache, flash ROM, flash GApps.
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select Dalvik + System + Data + Cache > Swipe to Wipe
Install > browse to the location where you previously copied the ROM zip and select it > Swipe to confirm the installation
Install GApps using same process as ROM, then reboot.
Keep in mind that the first boot after installing a custom ROM & wiping the phone may take longer than usual, as the phone will need to rebuild the dalvik cache and initialize other first boot stuff.
Congrats! That is all! Your phone now has an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery installed and is rooted. Enjoy !
The very first thing we highly recommend you to do now is to take EFS Backup and save it at your cloud and PC. It is very very important.
5. Making an EFS Backup
All too often, we've seen folks who have a corrupted or missing EFS Partition. This results in your IMEI being lost and no cellular activity on the device at all. This can be a royal PITA to fix, and some folks haven't been able to fix it at all. You can take a precautionary measure to safeguard yourself against this by taking a couple of minutes to back up your modemst files.
Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone (if you don't have it you can download it here).
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512
This will place two files (modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin) on your internal storage. Make sure you copy them to your PC and other Clouds immediately so that you have a backup there to use if you need to restore it in future.
That's it !! Incase you ever need to restore Nanroid or EFS Backups, continue.
6. Restoring a Nandroid Backup
Note: If you happened to forget to remove lockscreen security (PIN/Pattern/Fingerprint) before creating your backup, and you cannot get into your OS after restoring, you can do the following to fix the issue. Boot into TWRP and use the built in file manager to delete /data/sytem/locksettings.db. This should be enough to get you into your OS again. If it isn't you can also try deleting /data/system/locksettings.db-shm and /data/system/locksettings.db-wal. If this still doesn't fix your issue you can delete /data/system/gatekeeper.password.key and /data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key.
Boot into TWRP Recovery .
[Only and Only if you want to restore /system and /data too from the Backup] Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select Dalvik + System + Data + Cache > Swipe to Wipe. Go back to TWRP Home.
Go to Restore Menu and select the backup you want to restore.
Select the partitions you want to restore.
Swipe to Restore. The process will take some time.
Reboot
7. Restoring an EFS Backup
If by chance you end up with a corrupt EFS partition all you need to do is flash the files back to your device using fastboot.
Boot into fastboot mode (power + volume up) and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.
Keep modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin (backed up earlier) on your desktop and open command window there.
These fastboot commands will restore the files:
Code:
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin
Code:
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin
Reboot your device.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now disconnect phone from PC. Hope your IMEI etc is back.
That's it for the guide. Enjoy !

Has anyone successfully rooted the device with this method yet? Any reports on how you had to modify it or what may have gone wrong and how you corrected it?
i rooted my op3 successfully =) the only bad sideeffect is the "warning bootloader is open" message. this only appears at boot and tells that the devices is not googles trusted anymore.

And opening the bootloader probably disables the possibility of getting OTA updates as well? Could it be rooted without opening the bootloader, so OTA updates can still be obtained?

I don't guess you can do a "fastboot boot recovery.img" like on Nexus devices? I'd like to keep stock recovery but will flash twrp if that's the only option once the stock images are available.

How to root your Phab 2 (PB2-650Y)

This is NOT a guide for n00bs. You will need a functional copy of ADB and FASTBOOT (as well as any required Lenovo ADB drivers if you are windows tragic) running on your PC with Debugging enabled prior to proceeding.
This is NOT my original work. All the real credit goes to some guys in Russia as best as I can tell. I merely google translated their work and cooked up my own method for rooting (which is a bit easier than what they recommend). You can find their source materials here: Russian Lenovo Website - Phab 2 Unlocking the bootloader thread.
Grab the latest version of SuperSU from Chainfire (https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/)
Download the version of TWRP I found on the Lenovo Russia website here (it is attached to this post)
Copy SuperSU to your Phab 2's SD Card (it can go on either the internal or an external drive) (ADB push SuperSUxxx.img /sdcard/)
You need to unlock your bootloader if you have not already done so:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
Allow your Phab 2 to fully reboot and verify debugging is still enabled and the OEM unlocking option is enabled in Developer options.
Now that we've got a good clean operational unlocked bootloader let's apply our new recovery:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-PB2-650_3.0.2.img
Hold down the power button on your Phab 2 until it powers off.
Press the center of the volume rocker (both vol+ and vol- need to be depressed) and at the same time hold down the power button until your Phab 2 posts. You'll know you did the procedure right because an ASCII arrow symbol will be scrolling through the device's 3 boot options (Recovery / Fastboot / Normal).
Release the power button and roll your finger holding the volume rocker to the volume up side of the rocker. Release the volume button.
Press Vol+ until Recovery is selected (it is the first option)
Press Vol- and wait 20 or so seconds for TWRP to load.
You now have to decide if you want to make TWRP your permanent recovery. If so, mount SYSTEM as RW and using TWRP's Advanced File Explorer navigate to /system and either delete or rename recovery-from-boot.p (I renamed mine to recovery-from-boot.p.save).
Go back to TWRP's main menu and select INSTALL. Navigate to the SuperSU image you copied to storage at the very beginning of this guide and flash it.
When you're done, reboot.
Don't panic when your Phab 2 bootloops once. It'll boot fine on its second pass. In another 20-30 seconds you will be greeted by a fully rooted Phab 2.
Enjoy! Screenshots are attached to the second post.

is this working for phab2 pb2-650m?
I assume so. The original work was based on a 650M but I can only validate my additions on the 650Y since I don't have a 650M

You should make a video of the procedure. So you are saying after flashing the recovery, have to press power and volume up+down together until phab2 posts. What is posts? Do you mean reboots? And what do you mean by roll the finger?

Introduction​​
Rooting this device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: ​
Unlocking the Bootloader
Installing a Custom Recovery
Gaining Root Access
Each new step relies on the previous step so please follow the entire process and a basic summary of each part is described as below:
Unlocking Bootloader​​Opens the door to the internal memory of the device to be written on to. This allows you to flash images onto the main partitions of the phone.​
Installing a Custom Recovery​​A custom recovery is flashed onto the recovery partition of the device and overwrites the stock recovery that exists by default. Custom recoveries bring lots of functionality and give you the ability to perform wipes, install flashable zips, create full backups of your device (Nandroid backup), and various other features. An unlocked bootloader is needed to install a custom recovery.
Gaining Root Access​​You can gain root by either flashing via recovery a pre-rooted custom rom, or flashing a zip containing the SuperSU binaries or by Flashing Magisk Zip for a system less root. A custom recovery is necessary to do this.
After completing these steps your phone will be rooted, the phone will have a custom recovery installed and an unlocked bootloader. This, in my opinion, is the a practical and beneficial method for rooting your phone. It will give you some basic adb/fastboot knowledge, and should hopefully help you have a decent understanding of the entire process. This method will work regardless of any android version on the phone.
If you are confused by anything in this guide, I highly suggest getting it clarified being before moving on. Ask your question in this thread and I or someone else will likely answer. Also we would suggest that you read over the whole thread a few times before actually doing anything to the phone.​
Setup, Preparation & Prerequisites​​Basic tasks that may be referred to throughout this guide:​​Open Command Prompt: Press Shift + Right Click anywhere on the screen and select Open Command Window here
Enter Fastboot/Bootloader Mode: Turn the phone off. Hold volume up + power until the "fastboot" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot > Bootloader from the power menu.]
Enter Recovery Mode: Turn the phone off. Hold volume down + power until the "OnePlus Logo" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot -> Recovery from the power menu.]
ADB and Fastboot Installation​1. Download the ADB For Windows from here Credits @Snoop05 his Original XDA Thread Here
Or You can manually update Fastboot and ADB binaries here Credits @lj50036 his Original XDA Thread Here
2. Run the .exe file downloaded from above as Administrator.
3. Press 'Y' every time the installer asks for.
4. Continue Driver Installation.
Now, ADB and Fastboot have been installed on your PC and should be Working as desired.
Things To Remember​Show File Extensions :good:
Open a command prompt window and run "Control folders" (without the quotes). Go to the View tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. This will help avoid confusion when renaming files.
Battery :good:
Ensure that your phone has at least 60% battery remaining, and that your PC is plugged in and wont shut down spontaneously during the process. The procedure doesn't take very long , but its best to have enough charge in case something goes wrong.
Backup (Optional) :good:
Unlocking the bootloader will/should completely wipe all data from the device. This includes apps, settings and even the contents of the internal sdcard (pictures, music, etc.). Copy all important files off the phone onto a PC or upload them to a cloud.
USB Debugging :good:
On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
Enable OEM Unlocking :good:
On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'OEM Unlocking' option. Also make sure that from now on, OEM unlocking option is enabled before you reboot as sometimes, it might get disabled itself.
Enable Advanced Reboot :good:
On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
Unlocking Bootloader​
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power or select reboot to bootloader if advanced reboot is activated via developer options. The phone will display "fastboot" text indicating that it has successfully entered fastboot mode.
Plug the phone into your PC, then open a command prompt window on the desktop (Shift + Right Click -> Open Command Window here) and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.
If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command:
Remember this Step will WIPE EVERYTHING off the phone so Backup all your Data
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You would be greeted with a Unlock Bootloader Warning page, Hit the Vol button to select Yes and turn it Blue and Hit the Power Button to Execute the selection
Your device will reboot, show you a Secure boot warning, reboot into stock recovery and wipe all data. Once done, your phone will reboot into the OS.
Please continue and follow the next post to install Custom Recovery

On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'OEM Unlocking' option and make sure that from now on, OEM unlocking option is enabled before you reboot. Sometimes, it might get disabled itself.
Enable Advanced Reboot:
On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
Download all the files, place SuperSU or Magisk on Device Internal Memory and TWRP img in the Android Folder under the Platform Tools folder in C Drive
Then boot it into fastboot/bootloader mode by holding volume up + power or selecting the reboot to bootloader via advanced reboot options.
Open a new command prompt in the same location and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name).img
Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed or you can also use the command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
PS: DO NOT BOOT IN OS JUST YET & CONTINUE TO THE ROOTING POST
Gaining Root Access​
This is a continued post from the above post...
For Users who want to remain Encrypted: :fingers-crossed:
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.
2. Swipe right and enable modifications.
3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.
4. Navigate to Install and select Magisk Or SuperSU to root OnePlus 5.
5. Swipe to confirm the flash
6. Reboot System
Keep in mind that the first boot after wiping the phone may take longer than usual, as the phone will need to rebuild the dalvik cache and initialize other first boot and would reboot a few times due to SuperSU Flash.
For Users who want to Decrypt Data have to Format Data & Flash No Verity OP5 Zip :fingers-crossed:
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.
2. Swipe right and enable modifications.
3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.
Go to “Wipe” section and tap “Format Data”, and type “yes” to mount internal storage
4. Download & Transfer no_verity_op5.zip to the device over MTP from here Credits @snowwolf725
5. Go to “Install” section, select no_verity_op5.zip, and swipe to confirm the flash
6. Transfer latest Magisk/SuperSU to the device over MTP to your Oneplus 5 & Swipe to confirm the flash
7. Reboot System
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.
Congrats! That is all! Your Device now has an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery installed and is rooted along with your preference of staying encrypted or decrypted.
Warning: Do not flash partial update OTAs (under 1 GB) on a modified device! If you want to use partial OTAs, you must first flash a full OTA that it applies to, and then flash the partial OTA from stock recovery. Flashing partial OTAs from TWRP will either fail or soft brick your device. You can return to a usable state by flashing full zips in recovery.
Enjoy :fingers-crossed:
Making a Nandroid Backup​Warning: before you make a backup with TWRP you must remove all Lockscreen Security. If you do not do this you will not be able to unlock your device after restoring your backup (entering your pin/pattern/password will result in an "incorrect pin/pattern/password" message), you'll be forced to perform a factory reset to boot into Android.
To remove lockscreen security go to
Settings > Security > Screen Lock and set it to Swipe/None.
A Nandroid Backup is a very important thing to have before installing any custom software on your device. It's basically a backup of your stock system that you can fall back on if anything goes wrong or if you just want your stock ROM back.
You can also use Nandroid Bckup to create a backup of your favorite ROM set up exactly the way you like it. The backup you create can be easily restored using the restore tool in TWRP recovery.
To Create Nandroid Backup:
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery .
2. Go to Backup Menu and select all the listed partitions.
3. Name the Backup if needed (Optional)
4. Swipe to take Backup.
This proces should take 4 to 8 minutes depending upon the size of data.
5. Reboot System when done.
Your Nandroid will be stored in the Backup Folder inside TWRP Folder /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
Restoring a Nandroid Backup​
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery
2. Go to Restore Menu and select the backup you want to restore.
3. Select the partitions you want to restore.
4. Swipe to Restore. The process will take 6 to 10 minutes.
5. Reboot system once done
Note: If you happened to forget to remove lockscreen security (PIN/Pattern/Password) before creating your backup, and you cannot get into your OS after restoring, you can do the following to fix the issue.
Boot into TWRP
Use the TWRP File Manager and Navigate to /data/sytem/ and delete the following files:
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal.
gatekeeper.password.key
gatekeeper.pattern.key
You may or may not have all the above files so delete the ones you have.
Reboot the phone and (if you've set a PIN) enter it to decrypt the storage one more time. After that you can simply unlock your phone with a swipe.
Upon Boot > Go into Settings > Security > set your preferred unlock method
Android will ask you if you want to set a boot-time code too so select as per convenience.
Making an EFS Backup​All too often, we've seen folks who have a corrupted or missing EFS Partition. This results in your IMEI being lost and no cellular activity on the device at all. This can be a royal PITA to fix, and some folks haven't been able to fix it at all. You can take a precautionary measure to safeguard yourself against this by taking a couple of minutes to back up your modemst files.
Download & Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone from here
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512
This will place two files (modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin) on your internal storage.
Make sure you copy them to your PC and Cloud immediately so that you have a backup there to use if you need to restore it in future.
That's it !! In case you ever need to restore Nanroid or EFS Backups, please continue and follow the next post...
Restoring an EFS Backup​If by chance you end up with a corrupt EFS partition all you need to do is flash the files back to your device using fastboot.
Boot into fastboot mode (power + volume up) and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.
Keep modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin (backed up earlier) on your desktop and open command window there.
These fastboot commands will restore the files:
Code:
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin
Code:
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin
Reboot your device.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now disconnect phone from PC. Your IMEI should be back.
That's it for this guide, Enjoy :highfive:
Thank you for your support !!
First OTA 4.5.1
Theoretically unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP should be identical to the OnePlus 3/3T and previous devices, i.e. just like a Nexus (R.I.P.).

Thank you for this! I'm going to get this device as soon as it's back in stock. It will be my first ever OnePlus device (coming from a Pixel XL). I'll still be using that but the dev support seems to be the highest with these devices.
Definitely going to use this guide to get all setup, so thanks again!
Just wondering though, I've never dealt with this dm-verity thing, what is this exactly?
Also, the day I decide to sell this phone for the next generation OnePlus (6), is it relatively simple to get back to stock and relock the bootloader?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to be thorough before doing all of this and potentially bricking my new device lol
Thank you!
Link to TWRP?

First of all Welcome to the Oneplus Community Buddy, hope your get the device soon, i am also waiting for my unit likewise :fingers-crossed:
DM Verity is just another screen warning just like the secure boot screen, which depicts an unlocked bootloader and a modified recovery, it can be taken care off easily and even if you dont it wont harm in any way just take some addition 5 to 7 seconds on boot. I am here to help so it will be taken care off.
Also its easy to get back to stock as all full zips and both TWRP and Stock Recovery Flashable so just a process of 5 minutes to be precise once you have the required downloads and once stock bootloader can also be locked again via fastboot command.
If you just follow the steps on the guide, everything will be fine. Just wait for the official TWRP source to be released, should not be long though.
Thanks again for supporting Oneplus and Welcome to the Community :highfive:

Hey, many thanks for the guide.
I will be coming from an LG G6.
Question: since there is no external SD card, if we place SuperSU, DM-Verify etc on our internal memory...when we unlock the bootloader will the phone also wipe the internal sd memory??

[GUIDE][EUI][Coolpad Cool 1][TWRP/Root] Easy TWRP/Root Using QFIL for EUI

Today I will be making some short and easy guide to easily flash TWRP on your Coolpad Cool 1 from your stock EUI. It will be easier to flash any custom ROM if you manage to get TWRP installed on your device.
Preparation :
1. Get Developer Option on your Coolpad Cool 1. You can do this by going to Setting>About phone and search for Build Number. Tap on it for 6-7 times until it tells you that you are now a developer.
2. Go into Developer Option and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
3. Download all the necessary ADB Drivers, Qualcomm QLoader Drivers, Coolpad Assistant software, Magisk, EUI Recovery Coolpad Cool 1 and QPST/QFIL. (You can just google this, I have limited internet, so don't be counting too much on me to upload this)
Instruction :
1. Power off your phone.
2. Open QFIL software
3. Press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down button simultaneously and connect your phone to PC. This is to connect your phone into EDL (Emergency Download Mode).
4. Make sure your phone has been detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader xxxx (COMx)" in QFIL
5. At "Select Build Type", select "Flat Build"
6. At "Select Programmer" browse to your downloaded recovery folder path and select "prog_emmc_firehose_652.mbn" inside the folder. Don't worry, it will only show you this one file only anyways, so just click it.
7. At "Select Flat Build" , you can load your recovery files by using the "Load XML" button. Select "rawprogram0.xml" in the first popup and "patch0.xml" at the second popup. Again, it will only show you this one file in the popup box so you can't miss it anyways.
8. After all is set, click the download button and wait for it to finish flashing.
9. After the process finished, boot into your recovery directly by pressing Power button + Volume Up.
10. Flash your preferred rooting package. I use Magisk v16 and it's working fine with EUI.

I don't have that device but you can always try and let us all know.
Aplication cant download any files. Allways exit downloading
Τhe device model is R116 (not c103 or C106) Any tool that works with this model?? Qfil, Miflash, Coolpad download assistant didn't do the job. And ADB commands cant see it either.
Does this require formatting data?
Maybe yes i dont know.

Why not try magisk?
I'm not sure but your internal is 0mb because TWRP isn't able to decrypt your data partition. I don't use this phone but I have the same problem with my phone, what I did is that I flashed a zip which unencrypts the data and then formatted my internal storage it works fine after that
You can Try backing up your data and formatting your internal storage after flashing magisk

Hello,
thank you for your reply, I already solved the issue. I did all the things again, and then I formated internal storage and become normal, then I transferred the ROM via mtp and flashed it. All is fine now.
Thank you
