Kingnappa

Good morning, I would like to know if is it possible to root the Umi Super, maybe with Rootjoy?

Thanks

Dear UMI Super users,

I've already ported a TWRP recovery to UMI Super but the touch screen doesn't work (reported by a user since I still don't have a Super in hand), so the stock recovery probably doesn't contain the TP drivers. I can continue my work as soon as I received my UMI Super. megthebest is also working on it, so maybe he'll finish it sooner. He's an expert of that job. Once it gets done, I will add it to the list in this thread: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-2962-1-1.html
If somebody is interested, my non-touch screen TWRP can be downloaded from here: UMI_Super_TWRP3_NO_TOUCHSCREEN.img
If you have a USB-C OTG cable, you can try to control it with a mouse.

I've already reported this issue. The developers will solve it.

I've tried to use it but it seems that non every app works fine with that (Facebook app for example)

I guess the perfect solution is ROOT!! Not sure how much longer we have to wait.

Dear Kingnappa,

The solution is coming. Until that you can try with iRoot but be careful since that app might install malwares that you should remove after rooting your phone.

Regards,
Bence

iRoot didn't work on my UMI super, is there any other way to root this phone?

Same here.... I need to root for the phone and no bloatware!?

I need root to install adaway and change the damn LCD density.

Kingroot also didn't work

Instead of Adaway, until we have root, try Adguard. works fine too.

Thanks mate I am using adblock plus with proxy.
