[TUTORIAL] Vodafone Smart Grand 6 ROOT (VF-696)

[DoodeeDoo]

Hello everyone!
This phone can be a pain in the arse to ROOT, and I've let it bootloop once for a year until I figured out how to reflash the Stock Rom. But this way it will always work, and it's pretty simple.

Requirements:

• KingoRoot: https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm
• ADB app
• ADB drivers
• Fastboot app

It's the KingoRoot app and NOT THE KingRoot! They are different and the KingRoot doesn't work and can make your device bootloop if it "successfully" roots.




Steps:

1. On your Android, go to Settings
2. If you already have Developer Options, skip this step. Go to About Phone, tap Compilation Number 7 times. Then go back
3. Go to Developer Options and enable USB debugging
4. Connect it to Windows using USB Cable. If you don't have ADB, Fastboot and drivers, download this tool made by Snoop05: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0M...ljU2NPR0k/view
5. Open Command Promp
6. Type adb reboot bootloader . Check your phone for permissions.
7. Once it's on fastboot, type fastboot oem unlock. This only needs to be performed once, even if you reflash the stock rom. Sometimes it doesn't need, others does. I've tested some Smart Grand 6 phones and not everyone needs it.
8. Do what it says to unlock the bootloader. If it gives you erros, just ignore.
9. Then reboot. You can take off the battery then put it again if it you cant reboot using the hardware keys.
10. Once it boots up, install the KingoRoot app. Proceed to root (remember to uncheck "Install recommended apps" to not have bloatware installed!)
11. When it's rooted, go to Play Store. Download SuperSU BUT DO NOT OPEN IT JUST YET
12. Delete KingoRoot app and SuperUser app that was installed.
13. Open SuperSU and update binaries.
14. Reboot and profit!

You can install Xposed, Viper4Android, Link2SD and update Busybox and it all works without any problem!


Enjoy
