I think it’s still worth it, since the manufacturer initially wanted to install version 5, but for some reason I stuck 4.4, although from that moment on, I bought this device, I already had two OTA cards. : rofl:

Shaman34,
no one wanted to install lollipop on x2. for he was not yet then.

I took today to play with this subject ... With root access, everything is sad for him? About a dozen options I tried ... Generally deaf = (
Although analogs breaks like. Sorrow! The kernel with the root shell eats. But it catches the bootlap at boot.

serega_83,
But what about this, already relatively old, picture?

Just because of it, the hype went that the X2 would go on sale with Android 5.0 preinstalled.
Probably, at the last moment, we found some serious bugs, and rolled back to the previous version.

Convenient, by the way, thing - updates over the air. After the purchase complained that the touch buttons did not always work, and yesterday afternoon the update for the touch screen “flew in”, which this bug fixed: rolleyes:

BOOT! Finally, for all those who suffer, the long-awaited root of the law :)

What about OTA updates? I just did not come across a root shell before. If the kernel is updated, will the root fly off?

And xs ... It depends on what OTA will check. You can make an experiment. Make it at 117 and upgrade :)

1. drivers must be installed from the archive with the firmware
2. flash the SP Flash Tool (from the same archive) according to the instructions (which is in the same archive with official firmware)

The whole problem is that the phone goes to the boot-loop and it does not turn off (I did not succeed), but at some point (you see it is boring to reboot: D) ​​and then the flasher "picks up" the phone and flashes

another problem: I got stuck nvram, the result of mashing nvram:
1. I do not have the device serial number
2. when searching for wi-fi networks, writes something bad, but connects
3. until you restore IMEI the mobile network will not work

Will such a combination work - put the root, delete the unnecessary software and return everything to un-root? And is it possible in principle to do un-root on it?
The program for corp. Mail as it checks that the device was not rutovan.

If it's not a secret, what is your corporate mail such that it checks for root or not? I work in the MTS technical unit, there is a corporate mail with a corporate list and telephone numbers of all employees of the Russian MTS and not only everything works for a bang, you put the program, you need to install it as an administrator and password.

Good for enterprise. This is some kind of secure solution for exchange.
