Rooting U1

Hi all,

I am trying to root Minix Neo U1 FW013 20170629 Android 5.1.1

First way:
I followed:
https://www.cnx-software.com/2015/1...-based-minix-neo-u1-box-in-windows-and-linux/
According to
https://www.facebook.com/cnxsoft/po...-on-other-tv-boxes-but-not-/1078139022220155/
It should have worked but it didn't.

Also

As in the image above, in the root_u1.bat there is a simple command: adb root is that what should accomplish the root?

Second way:
I followed:
https://www.cnx-software.com/2013/0...root-android-devices-via-windows-or-mac-os-x/
But again the Cydia Impactor 0.9.52 which recognized the device didn't finished the rooting.

Third way:
I have also tried Kingo app both APK app and PC application.
https://www.kingoapp.com
without any luck.

I am not ready to flash custom ROM.

Any good ideas?

Hello.
Be aware the issues and the problems you may have when you root a device.
You must be aware of the risk, bricking the device .
If you dont need root it is better to stay with a unrooted device, safety first.

Sometimes it is better even installing a custom ROM than root the device.

If the custom ROM is easier to flash and dont have problems it it better.

Here is the link of the custom ROM:
https://theminixforum.com/index.php?threads/unofficial-6-0-1-marshmallow-rom-for-the-u1.107/

And again if you dont use/need root leave the device unrooted.

Hi,

Same advices as @notrui2
But if you must root your device, the best way remains to flash the good TWRP. Then you can flash any root manager you want.

Do so at your own risk......

Download SuperSU here
Download TWRP here

- Rename TWRP_3.0.2_U1_SDcard to recovery.img.
- Put recovery.img & SuperSU-v2.82 onto an SD Card formatted to FAT32
- Put the SD Card into your Minix and boot to TWRP recovery (same process as stock recovery).
- Swipe to allow modifications
- Select Install
- On the bottom right click "Select Storage"
- Choose Micro SDCard
- Select the SuperSU zip in the top left
- Once flashed select Reboot System
 
Hello, I am new to the forum. I have tried to root my Neo U1 with all the techniques posted in the forum and it has not worked.
Marty I have not tried your technique because the link to download the TWRP does not load the page. Can you send it to me in another way?
Thanks in advance.
