Warning: So try running this guide on your Wiko Sunny 2 Plus or Wiko Sunny 2, do it at your own risk
Apparently there is no official guide to root Wiko Sunny 2 Plus / Wiko Sunny 2, trying in many ways using some rooting apps the root always failed as it was too recent a device to find a vulnerability within the device and rooting, is not possible via King Root or Kingo Root
but after some time I discovered that it is possible to root thanks to Magisk by flashing a modified boot image using this program, which allows at the end of the flashing to obtain root without installing any TWRP or flashing ZIP files
This I believe is the only solution to root devices that have no official rooting guides or no one has ever published a working guide
The first thing you need to do is open the settings and go to "Device Info" and press 7 times on the Build Number and access the Developer options, enable "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging"
Then if you have Windows click on this link: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip To download the ADB tools, extract the ZIP package where you want and open the folder
Connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and enter the ADB commands folder, hold down the SHIFT key and right button and click on "Open PowerShell window here", at this point write the command
adb devices and if you show the RSA key on the phone, do allow, to check if the phone is recognized by the computer.
Finally type the command adb reboot bootloaderand press enter to restart our phone in fastboot mode
Entered in Fastboot Mode, let 's write the command fastboot oem unlock, press enter and confirm the unlocking of the bootloader (This operation will perform a reset and all your data will be deleted, so if you want to make a backup)
Finally we go to reconfigure the phone as if it had just been bought
Log in to your computer and download the following APK applications from the following Links
Magisk Link : https://magiskmanager.com/ Link Root Checker: https://root-checker.it.uptodown.com/android (Optional: if you want to check if the root has been performed correctly)
And finally as the last thing to download you need the firmware of the phone in question
This guide is good for both models, downloading the correct firmware
Firmwares Download Links:
-
Wiko Sunny 2 Firmware: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pl7057yg7cn8kgy/Wiko_Sunny_2_V11_16062017_SPD.zip/file
-
Wiko Sunny 2 Plus Firmware : https://www.mediafire.com/file/l1q7d9rp3ei0sni/Wiko_Sunny_2_Plus_MT6580_20102017.zip/file
Making sure the firmware is compatible with your device and having the correct boot.img
Extracting boot.img from Wiko Sunny 2 Firmware
In this case the Wiko Sunny 2 firmware is compressed and you will need a small tool to get the boot.img
To extract the Wiko Sunny 2 firmware you will need to download a small tool that will extract the SUNNY2_V11.pac file with the SPD Upgrade Tool, to locate the file just mentioned you need to enter the firmware\ folder and copy the file to the Desktop, Then reach this link and download the tool: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/69mjqte07ypy6m5/SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R19.0.0001.zip/file,
extract it into any folder and run UpgradeDownload.exe and select the file you just extracted by clicking on Load Packet and after loading you should find a folder named "ImageFiles",
enter the subfolder and still inside you should find the boot.img file we need, copy it to the Desktop and close the tool.
Extracting boot.img from Wiko Sunny 2 Plus Firmware
However, for the Wiko Sunny 2 Plus it is not necessary to use anything else other than Winrar or 7-Zip
Once the firmware has been downloaded, open the ZIP, you will need Winrar or 7-zip, inside it, enter the Firmware folder and look for the boot.img file and copy it and drag it to a folder created on the desktop for convenience
Always connect the phone via USB cable and copy the boot.img image to the phone's internal memory, finally also copy the APKs of the applications to be installed
In your phone go to settings and enable unknown sources
Install Magisk APK and Root Checker APK
Open Magisk Manager, and on the Magisk window click on “Install” and allow permissions to the multimedia files of the device
Press on "Next", then on "Select and update a file", and a file explorer will open, go to select the image file previously copied from the computer, the name is always boot.img if in case you forget it
Finally, after selecting the image, click on "Let's go!" is Magisk will expect to create a patched image
At the end of the process what comes out in the log “ All done ! ", When this message appears at the bottom, the patched image will have been created correctly
The name of the patched image should be like: magisk_patched_XXXX.img and will be saved in the Download folder, take the patched boot.img file and copy it to your computer
Reconnect our phone to the computer, reopen PowerShell and send the device back to Fastboot Mode with the usual adb reboot bootloader command
Now we will do the actual operation to get root permissions:
Open PowerShell and write this command cd foldername (replace foldername with the name of the folder that contains the patched image ) and press enter
Finally, write the command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_XXXX.img and press enter and the patched image will be flashed
When the flashing is successful, restart the device with fastboot reboot, when it restarts we can check if we have successfully obtained root permissions on Wiko Sunny 2 Plus / Wiko Sunny 2!
Now you are done, you will now have fully gained root access on your Wiko Sunny 2 Plus / Wiko Sunny 2 and can use all root apps etc...
Warning: if the name of the patched image is different from the one written in the guide, replace the name " magisk_patched_XXXX.img " with the name of your image
_If the image has the same name provided in the guide, replace the Xs with the characters that appear after the name " magisk_patched "
If you are not sure the firmware provided in the guide is not compatible, try looking at the firmware serial number on Phone Info to find the correct firmware if it does not work
By carrying out this guide your device will lose the warranty and it is also a very delicate operation
Don't try to root with rooting apps like Kingroot or Kingoroot, as the phone is recent enough to have vulnerabilities to be able to install working exploits, to tell the truth I also owned this device and tried and tried to root again with this app but I never succeeded!, it was a useless attempt as rooting apps can't root recent phones
