    Hey..

    Tried above method and it works!!
    (could not root using CWM for some reason so had to use CTR)

    Thanks for finally providing recovery and root for A99 (lollipop)

    I am facing an issue that my phone is not rebooting (neither system restart nor reboot from recovery). It just turns off and I have to manually switch it on again
    Is it due to some error in flashing?? please check this..

    I am considering flashing stock recovery and uboot files to prevent this.. is it ok? .. as i can re-flash recovery when needed

    Lastly, I see a MIUI v6 zip file in last post.. is it a port for A99??, if yes have you tested it and if it works can you share that too??

    Thanks in advance !

      It is not due to any error... It's a bug of our stock lollipop.. Just flash KitKat preloader & then it will work

      USB debugging on or off???

      Keep Debugging on all the time...
      Also, Make sure your phone allows debugging from your PC (allow permission from the pop up when u connect for first time)


      Try connecting phone to the computer in all modes (normal, recovery and fastboot) so that drivers are installed for all of them

      Once you connect the phone in switched off mode while SPtools is running it should detect the phone (by change in status at port no etc.)

      If you are still having trouble post screenshots of your SP tool window..

      Hope that helps

      Cheers !

      Check for drivers, or reinstall drivers as your device is not going to charging mode once connected to PC due to lack of proper instructions from PC which is caused by broken drivers..

      Hello,

      Sorry was out of town so no net access

      please install the drivers first no matter what warning windows shows...
      without the drivers you can not run SP tools..

      So make sure all drivers are installed properly then connect phone to SP tool and check for connection..

      Good luck!

    7. Unknown18 May 2015 at 00:35

      You PC will not detect the phone...
      SP tools will detect it..
      If it still doesn't work.. start from scratch... delete all drivers and reinstall only ones required..

      No other known method to root for this phone. Sorry
