[MOD] [root] [CHUWI] [Vi7]

This is a guide on rooting the new Chuwi Vi7 Phablet as a result of spending lots of hours on this proyect with the hope that others find it useful.

PREREQUISITES:

A) Linux users generally install the android-tools package so you have the adb command available.
In Manjaro linux and Arch Linux just do

Code:

---

sudo pacman -Sy android-tools

---

In Ubuntu probably

Code:

---

apt-get update && apt-get install android-tools

---

A) windows users would need to install the intel drivers for android and adb.exe (presumibly; not tested)
Run CMD and type adb.exe devices
If you see your phablet you should be good to continue...


1) (Recommended) Apply the over the air update; you know you have it when you can see the Google Playstore installed.

2) Connect your Chuwi Vi7 to your PC with a microusb cable

3) unzip the attached file and transfer all the individual files contained to the Chuwi´s /data/local/tmp folder
as follows:

Code:

---

  adb push app_process32_original /data/local/tmp/
  adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
  adb push chattr.pie /data/local/tmp/
  adb push install-recovery.sh  /data/local/tmp/
  adb push libsupol.so  /data/local/tmp/
  adb push su /data/local/tmp/
  adb push sugote-mksh /data/local/tmp/
  adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
  adb push supolicy /data/local/tmp/
  adb push toolbox /data/local/tmp/
 adb push vi7root /data/local/tmp/

---

4) Now from a terminal run these commands:

Code:

---

  adb shell
  #(you will see a shell prompt ending with $)
  su
  #(you will see a shell prompt ending with # else ABORT immediately)
  sh /data/local/tmp/vi7root
 reboot

---

and that´s it!
