[ Advanced ] Rooting Teracube One

Guides
#55

Ok folks, thanks to @Sharad I learned a new trick (with most of my other Android phones, I simply run Install/Direct Install and it works, so this is new to me).

Here is what I did to make it work:

  1. Grabbed a copy of the original boot.img, placed it in Teracube’s download folder.
  2. Launch Magisk and select Update, follow by Install.
  3. Click Select and Patch a File, and locate the boot.img file in the download folder. Magisk will then patch this file.
  4. Once completed, download the patched boot.img to your computer and repeat the Root steps (from the top of this post).
  5. Once the phone is rebooted, run magisk to verify that it is now updated to 20.4.

PS: I have edited the original post to include the new patched boot.img to save time for everyone.

sorry, but i can’t cope with this description. it is nowhere clear when I have to do what and how. can someone could make a detailed youtube description.

#57

a really great community, you don’t even get an answer!

#58

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The steps written were derived from all other forums and support websites. It is written in the best of my ability. If there is a particular step that you are stuck on, I am happy to assist.

#59

hi, the instructions do not say when I have to connect the cell phone to the pc. there is also nothing there when I should execute which file, how or with what. there is nothing in there.

Under the Bootloader Unlock section, step 8 is where you need to run the tools on your computer and connect your phone to the PC/computer prior to running the step.

And under the Root section, you are required to connect your phone to the PC/computer before running step 2 and beyond.

PS: Thank you for your feedback. I have updated the steps to include additional steps and clarification regarding connecting your phone to the PC/computer as well as running commands on your PC/computer to perform the steps.

so far it is understandable. but there you write “Using platform-tools on your computer run the command”. which tool must i use, there are many, see appendix.

and how am I supposed to do that, because if I double click, none of them will run.

Aha… upon installing the Google Platform-tools, you are required to execute the command through Command Prompt. On Windows (assuming you are running Windows 8 or 10), you can launch Command Prompt by pressing ⊞ and R together, follow by typing cmd and click OK.

Once Command Prompt is launched, go to the directory where you installed the Google Platform tools. In your case, type:

cd '\program files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot'

This is where you will execute the commands. Hope this helps.

I have moved “teracube_patched_boot_sw1_magisk_20.3.img” into the folder “cd ‘\ program files (x86) \ Minimal ADB and Fastboot’”. the following message appears when executing.

The latest version filename is teracube_patched_boot_sw1_magisk_20.4.img. When you execute the command, make sure you type the name of the file exactly to the one you have downloaded.

And yes, our instruction assumes you copy the bootloader file to the Google Platform-tools folder.

#65

I restarted the phone after activating the boot loader. what do I have to do now to root the phone?

#66

The link to the 20.4-patched boot file requires permission to the Google Drive file, like the previous file did.

#67

do I have to go through the whole thing again?

#68

You don’t have to do the bootloader unlock and the reset again.
Just flashing the (newest) boot img file again, and I think having Magisk manager see it.

I did “fastboot flash boot teracube_patched_boot_sw1_magisk_20.4.img” and then “fastboot reboot”. the “Root Checker” app says that it is not rooted.

I’ve tried it 4x now, it can’t be rooted.

#71

Try install Magisk and see. You can get Magisk from here to check and use root.

#72

The link is now fixed.

#73

I installed Magisk and the menu under superuser says “No apps found”
