How to root Phoenix Card images?
#1
Hi,

I used the phoenix card image from Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160505 but it seems it's not rooted yet and the tool is not pre-installed on it.

Can you tell me how to root it?

Thanks

The only Android image on the Pine64 wiki that's rooted, far as I know, is one of the 8GB dd images. The Android image that uses PhoenixCard is not rooted. 

Burning an image using dd (or Win32DiskImager) requires a different process than burning using PhoenixCard. You can't burn a dd image using PhoenixCard and you can can't use dd to burn an image meant for PhoenixCard.

It is quite simple (if you run the 0505 image of android). Just open SuperSU app and let it work its charm (installing dependencies). Do a reboot, and go get a root checker app from the store to check if it is all ok.

This worked for me Smile

FYI, I used the PhoenixCard image of android 5.1.1 build 20160505 on my Pine A64+ 2Gb

Ok but I got a 64gb sd card.
I don't have 64gb of space on my hard drive.
When you unzip the rooted images, they have the space of the sd card they are meant for.

by the way, there is no SuperSU app on the phoenix card image of android 5.1.1 20160505...

You are not ment to decompress the .img file. Just the rar file. (And that one does not take 64gb) PhoenixCard will automaticly resize the partitions on your microSD to give you all the space available in Android.

Look at the size :

but it's fine. I had 3x go on my hard drive.
