The safety tips

First things first. A rollercoaster is fun as long as you have tried your safety belt. It’s the same with rooting a device. You have to first learn about the safety precautions.

• Don’t every root your phone when it’s displaying ‘low battery’ indicator. You don’t want your phone to die out while being rooted. This could prove fatal. It could end your joyride.
• Make sure you have charged your phone battery to 80% at least. Sometimes, downloading can take a long time. So make sure your device has enough power for such situations.
• If you can’t root your phone for some reason using this guide, don’t try another method unless you are sure that it works. Rooting involves changing some system files. So be sure you are safe.
• Follow this instruction guide as is. Don’t innovate or do stuff that you don’t understand. Just follow the easy steps and you’ll end up fine.

Step 1: Get everything together

Now that you know the thrill of the ride and have come prepared, it’s time to get your stuff together. Make sure you can check (tick) all the following before you go to the next step.

• Recheck your phone. Be sure you are using Coolpad Note 5 in this tutorial.
• Grab your phone’s USB cable. You may have to connect it to your PC during this tutorial.
• If you haven’t installed USB drivers for your phone on your PC, go ahead and install them now. If you can connect your phone to your PC successfully, then you have the right drivers already installed on your computer.
• Enable ‘Installation from Unknown Sources” on your phone. You can access this from phone settings>security. You need to have this enabled because you can’t install root applications from Play Store. If this setting is disabled, you can’t install any apk file manually i.e. from outside the Google Play Store.
• Create a backup of your important data. Although this procedure to root Coolpad Note 5 doesn’t require you to wipe your data, making a backup is still a good precaution before you try to root your phone.

Step 2: Download KingoRoot app

You can either root Coolpad by flashing a custom recovery or by using the KingoRoot app. Here, we will use the latter option.

Here are the reasons we rooted this phone using KingoRoot app.

• Flashing custom recovery to this phone is yet to be verified by a top developer at XDA. So the current recovery files are untrusted. They could contain a virus or a trojan. You never know.
• To install a custom recovery, you need to flash your phone using Odin for PC. It’s a high-risk procedure and not suitable for newbies.
• KingoRoot makes things easy as it only takes touching a few buttons here and there to root your phone.

Now let’s download this app. Grab your apk from the link below.

If you can’t connect your phone to your PC for some strange reason, simply move the file to your phone by copying it to an SD card. Go to file manager on your phone and move the file from SD storage to the internal storage later.
