NEW! Minix U1 EZ root ZIP method

[dunno]

Just checked for FW007 and it worked successfully. Don't know why I had failure issue with FW006

[Warlord1981]

I am on latest firmware (FW007) and trying to root with USB-stick with the directions mentioned in first post. I've tried more than 15 times with all ways to format the usb to fat32 (windows format, amlogic tool, hp usbdisk tool, format from within U1) and nothing worked. It always takes me to U1 recovery without installing the package. Only 2 times it tried to install the package and it stuck on 0% and again took me to recovery. I've tried with 2 USB-sticks. I dont own a microSD. I have USB-debugging enabled.

Anyone tried with firmware 009A?

I keep getting failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed on FW0010, any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to install from EXT, udisk, ezroot.zip becuase it will not boot the recovery included in the zip

Finless when you have time could you update to 0010 and see if root is still possible please and thanks..

[skyhigh69]

Not 1 other person has tried with 0010 FW..I seen another post finless saying that minix has root protection..finless can you please update the ezroot for the new Fw

Hi,...

Same problem for me as described here:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...467#post553467

Checked R/W access of sdcard with NextApp sdfix, it says i got R/W access

Using MiniX NEO U1
Android 5.11
Build U1 FW013 2170629

The link from INPHIC-Jim doesn't work (404)

Tried several sd cards and usb stick, tried trough Update&Backup.
The root_u1 program stops and complains like described in the link above
with lots of R/W denied messages like :
E:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0pl on /sdcard by read-only (invalid argument)
and some more lines like this one
also
E:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard by read-only (Device or resource busy)
ending with : E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

-- secure check...
Secure check failed

Installation aborted.
OTA failed

Recvovery is listening adb sideload...
waiting adb sideload command...

------------------------

am i doing something wrong ?


P.S.
After trying to root the U1 i cannot use OTA anymore, i'm affraid the root_u1
program bricked the update&backup

[t2009]

I bricked my minix using this.Any Idea how to restore it?
