Wait I think framaroot doesn't have the kitkat compatible version yet. Maybe you would use the motochoper long method Through the use of pc.

Experience4u:

Give me the method

Experience4u:
Where do I get the android drivers for my phone. Secondly can I backup my ROM before trying to root and how can I back it up.

Dapo777:
Get Innjoo drivers here http://www.innjoo.com/Support/downloads

Experience4u:


Pls can u drop your number or email so I call you to direct me on stepwise fashion to follow on this rooting. Thanks

Dapo777:


1.- Download motochopper .zip
2.- Extract motochopper .zip using 7zip,winzip,winrar,unzip,… or another uncompressor application.
3.- Put your phone on USB Debugging mode (activate checkbox on Settings>Development options>USB debugging or Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging).
4.- Only Windows users: Make sure Android drivers for your phone are installed in your PC. If not, you can find some drivers in this page.
5.- Connect your smartphone to the PC.
6.- Once the S4 is properly recognized, go to the motochopper file and launch the run.bat file. Launch run.bat on WIndows ; run.sh on OSX or Linux
7.-Once this window pops up, click on any key to continue.
8.-A message will appear on your Galaxy S4, to which you click OK. After a short while of waiting, you’ll be asked again to click on any key. Your S4 will restart.
9.-Press on any key and your S4 will reboot.
10.- If you want to check if you are already root or superuser in your Android phone or tablet you can download HowToRoot app from Google Play Store and click over the padlock in the top-right of the screen. It will show you a message about if your device is rooted or not.

S4 is Samsung S4, remember this What the method I used for rooting my gionee e3 and it worked for me. That was before I heard about framaroot. So try it and see If it works for Innjoo 12s and give me feedback.

This almost undoubtedly won't work...
S4 kernel is old compared to the kernels in 2014 phones
Especially those kernels after June 2014...
But miracles do happen sha... Let's see

Experience4u:

Xmyloxyloto pls can u give me step by step method IR ur email or number for pm

xMyloXyloto:


Have you tried the method Dapo777 posted?

Experience4u:

That requires I download ROM of 500mb from Innjoo website

xMyloXyloto:

First you need the adb drivers and preloader driver. Adb is common but get the preloader driver from downloads section of innjoo website. The file would be 'Mtk Flashing Drive'


Use mtk droid tools to create scatter file first
You would see button like 'block load' or something then save as text file
You could also use mtk droid tools to flash but it's slow af

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5_3RXfZ3tuCME80Qk4tM2JuNHM/edit?usp=docslist_api

Also download superSu binary... It will be in zip format

In sp flash tools select the text file you created previously under the scatter loading button. In front of the recovery and boot partitions select the files from my links accordingly
Click download and connect the already switched off phone
Make sure it is set to 'Download only'



Now boot to recovery and flash the su binaries you downloaded and reboot your rooted phone
You may have to download normal superSu from playstore after the reboot though...

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any Bleep up you may impart to your phone.
Do not use the files from those links to attempt to root other phones! Only for innjoo i2s

Mail me for any thing you may not understand... I only say that because I might forget to check here for any replies so just mail me for quick response. Peace

Believe it or not, this is the short method

Experience4u:



"In sp flash tools select the text file you created previously under the scatter loading button. In front of the recovery and boot partitions select the files from my links accordingly

mexzony:
hello,
to be honest the whole method does not take up to 10 mins if properly understood. so lets go over it step by step
things you need
1) adb driviers
2) download mtk65xx flasing drive here http://download.innjoo.com/rom/MT65xx_Rom_Flashing_Drive.zip

and mtk flashing rom and tools here http://download.innjoo.com/rom/MTK_Rom_Flashing_Tools.zip
3) download boot and recovery image here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5_3RXfZ3tuCSFFzUDhyTDZreEk/edit?usp=docslist_api
and https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5_3RXfZ3tuCME80Qk4tM2JuNHM/edit?usp=docslist_api( as given by xMylo.
4) download superSU binary which is in ZIP format and save it in a folder on ur phone.
5) download mt65xx preloader too and unzip

a)now unzip thge adb divers to a suitaable folder,
b)plug your phone to your pc and it should automatically detect ur phone then go to device manager to see if ur phone appears there and if it does there should not be a question mark sign on it, if so select ur phone and select update drivers and then choose to install locally from computer and then select the folder of the unzipped adb driver and click next. the rest is history.
Note: you may have to turn of driver signature detection on windows 8 else it wont let you install.
c) swicth off ur phone ,plug it in and the system should still detect it in device manager, install the preloader same way from device manager by updating its drivers.
d) install the mtk flashing drive by clicking on the batch file or install them individually.

if done correctly open mtk droid tools in administrator mode and then ur phone should be detected then clikc the "Block MAp" button and click on create scatter file and save as txt file on a suitable location on ur system.

e)now open sp flash tools and then click the "scatter loading" button and select the scatter file you created earlier by navigating to the desired folder and load it unto spflash tools
f) now look closely in sp flsh tools and you will see two files BOOTIMG and RECOVERY, Now under the "location tab " of each click on the empty box and then slect the approopraite file ie the boot.img file and the recovery.img file accordingly you downloaded earlier
g) switch off ur phone but do not plug it into the pc yet. now make sure that you select download only option and then click the download button. now plug in ur swithched off phone. it should download to your phone and sp flash tools should pop up an "ok" box.

remember that the superSU you downloaded should be save in a folder on ur phone
now boot ur phone into recovery by using mtk droid tools by clicking "reboot" and then "in recovery" and then from there flash the superSU file onto ur phone by slecting it from the folder on ur phone while it is in recovery mode.
when succesful it will indicate and then reboot normally using mtk droid tools.

droid tools should indicate that you have root access.
confirm with root checker.

NOTE: pls take ur time to read and understand.it does not take up to 10mins just requires patience.
pls if you do not have sufficient knowledge then pls manage ur phone in its unrooted state and siddon look after all it is still a nice phone with wonderful features

Experience4u:
OK, thanks. When I switch off my phone and plug it on my lappy, the PC doesn't recognise it

xMyloXyloto:




Nice one. My problem is that I can't type this much

Upon all you know some people still won't understand it right?

Hope u r not referring to me?

I was able to change my imei and was able to use glo bis , but king root v3.3.1.. and towel root couldn't do the magic of rooting my Innjoo I2s phone. I don't think anyone has been able to root Innjoo i2s phone

indigene:

kitkat 4.4.4 is unrootable, it happens to be at present the highest ios platform for andriod. There no real reason to root it. Note: if you root your innjoo phone, you simply give away your warranty

Experience4u:

Are you saying there is no reason to root this phone? What about the Accrued ans possible benefits

xMyloXyloto:


1.) Kit kat 4.4.4 is not the highest os platform
2.) Nigerian service centres like Carlcare don't check if your phone is rooted before fixing your phone accordingly
3.) Innjoo devices don't use Kit kat 4.4.4 anyway so why are you mentioning it?? ?

Actually the most annoying part is that 4.4.4 is rootable


Please don't come here and start scaring the noobz. Thanks

indigene:

I had rooted my devices in the past, did not see, so much acclaimed benefits,other than un-installing pre-installed apps I don't need to have more space, in my device memory.
Rooting your device, leaves you in the mercy of hijackers, you no longer own your phone, you re at high risk when conducting any financial transaction.
