This repository contains several hand-cooked (manually) boot images for the Bluboo Picasso 4G Android phones. I modified the boot images to contain the required files to gain root access on the phone without using TWRP/CWM or any third-party rooting program. The phone will be rooted just by using one of these boot images that matches the phone.
This video shows the result of a rooted Bluboo Picasso 4G Android phone:
- Get/download SP Flash Tool from spflashtool.com (Windows/Linux)
- Run SP Flash Tool
- Load the scatter file
- Load the correct boot image file (click the "location" cell of the "boot" row/partition)
- Click "Download" button
- Plug the USB cable into the phone (the phone should be turned off prior to this)
- Wait for the write/download process to complete (in seconds)
- Unplug the USB cable
- Turn on the phone
- Install SuperSU on the phone (either by sideloading or using Google Play)
- Done, the phone should be rooted now!
Make sure your know the risk of this process. This includes, but not limited to: You might (soft) brick you phone, or you might lose your data. Do this at your own risk!!!
Please backup the whole flash contents before rooting the phone.
