How to Root Cherry Mobile Flare S Play and Install TWRP recovery

In this tutorial I have 3 method for Rooting. It's up to you of what you prefer. Just try the first method if not work proceed the 2nd and 3rd method.

Warning! Rooting can void your warranty!. DO it at Your own risk!

FIRST METHOD

(LOW RISK)

Rooting via Recovery Mode only

Pros: No need PC. Can root via your mobile phone only!

Cons: Success for rooting only 50% chances

Requirements:

Procedure:

1. Download Androidcribs root app.

2. Then On your internet or data.
3. Click Root then wait.
4. If success download rootchecker in playstore
5. If not please proceed to 2nd and 3rd method...

SECOND METHOD

(MED RISK)

Rooting via Fastboot

Pros: Medium Risk only.

Cons: Wrong command can't work unlocking.
Can delete all your files. you need to back up first.

Download all:

1. Adb drivers

(run exe file to load needed drivers)

2. Vcom drivers: .. (install sa pc)

3. Minimal Adb fastboot tool

(extract the file then copy to desktop)

4.TWRP

5. SuperSu.zip

(copy this to your root directory of sdcard(sa labas lang ng sdcard wag sa mga folder ok)

PROCEDURE:

1) Unlock bootloader:

1.1) Boot for first time your device. I recommend to NOT register/login/add Wifi/add accounts/etc., because the unlock process DELETES all your data in the device. So to go more fast, skip all, and go directly to SETTINGS. In section ABOUT DEVICE, enable the developer options with eight time picks over “Build number”. Then in SETTINGS/DEVELOPER OPTIONS, enable the option “OEM unlocking”. Then power off.

1.2) Boot your device to Fastboot mode (hold power button and vol up) choose fastboot mode or boot into bootloader), then connect your phone to PC via USB cable. Open folder fastboot from minimal adb fastboot tool(run as administrator)

Click Run me.bat

Execute in your computer the command “fastboot oem unlock”, say YES with “vol+” and “power” buttons. Then select reboot. This ERASES completely your device (factory restore), but the bootloader will be UNLOCKED! Two reboots needed.

2) Install custom Recovery:

2.1) DownloadTWRP recovery and rename into recovery.img

copy this recovery.img inside (minimal adb fastboot tool folder)

2.2) Boot in the BOOTLOADER mode. Then execute command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”;

and then “fastboot reboot”.

3) Rooting:

3.1) Copy last beta of SuperSU v2.52 to your SD Card (file BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip).

3.2) Boot in the TWRP with “Vol+” and “Power” buttons.

3.3) Install ZIP from external-sd card.

3.4) Reboot .

3.5) After boot, start SuperSU and configure it. Root done!
