[Please help] Trouble with rooting UMX U683CL
[Please help] Trouble with rooting UMX U683CL
(13-11-2022, 04:16 AM)somnomania I'm having so much trouble with this process, I think at least in part because it's a no-name brand, but also many guides I'm finding on the rooting process are very much "draw the rest of the owl". Lots of "okay now do this with this file" without explaining how to do that or where to get the file, which leads me to my current problem. I'm trying to follow the guide here. Where I'm stuck is "GPT file from your firmware or backup". No idea how to obtain that. I have the firehose programmer file, I think; the main guide I'm following to try and root my phone, here, says I need prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf, which I've downloaded. I have all the drivers, I have QFiL, I have QPST, I have Qualcomm GPTtool, and I don't understand what to do with any of them or why it's not working. What I need, based on the main guide I'm using, is rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml. But I need the GPT file to generate those? I'm so far over my head with this, I just want my phone rooted and working.

(24-11-2022, 08:03 AM)somnomania I did already have them installed, apparently, but I chose to repair them just in case. When I plug my phone into the computer, do "adb devices" and then "adb reboot edl" to put my phone in download mode, it shows up in Device Manager as QHSUSB_Bulk still. Every guide I've seen seems to imply that I can put my phone in download mode from the phone (i.e. boot the phone in download mode and THEN plug it into the computer), but I don't know how to do that. If, once it's in download mode, I then unplug it from the computer and then plug it back in, Windows tells me USB device not recognized, and it's in Device Manager as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I then have to open my phone and take the battery out to get it back out of download mode so I can start over.
If I try the other installation method, I have the same end result. I reboot the phone in EDL mode, it shows up as QHSUSB_Bulk. I choose to update drivers, I browse my computer, I pick from a list of available (which is the downloaded one and Care Suite something, which I assume is connected to the fact that it's a former Lifeline phone), I select the downloaded one and install. Windows tells me it's installed successfully, but then if I refresh Device Manager, the phone is still showing up as Unknown USB Device.
