How to Root the Nextbit Robin

**Unlocking the Device: A Step-by-Step Guide**

To begin with, it's essential to understand that this process requires caution and attention to detail. The device will be erased during this process, so ensure you have everything backed up before proceeding.

Once you've confirmed that you're ready to proceed, open the Command Prompt and type `adb devices`. This command will verify that your device is recognized by the computer. However, it may display an "Unauthorized" message due to security restrictions on the phone. To resolve this issue, navigate to the phone's settings, then tap "About Phone," followed by "Build Number." Tap it seven times to enable Developer Options, which will allow you to access USB debugging.

Go back to the Command Prompt and type `adb devices` again. This time, it should display a "device" next to the serial number, indicating that your phone is now authorized and can communicate with the computer. Next, you'll need to reboot the device using the command `adb reboot boot loader`. Wait for the device to complete this process before proceeding.

To unlock the device, type `fastboot OEM unlock` and press Enter. If at any point the process gets stuck waiting for a device, close the Command Prompt and reopen it in a fresh environment. In some cases, adding a specific piece of text to the command may resolve the issue; ensure you include this extra part when typing `fastboot` commands going forward.

**Rebooting the Device**

Once the unlocking process is complete, type `fastboot reboot` followed by the necessary text (including the additional part) to continue the process. The device will reboot and prompt you to select "Yes" using both the power button and volume down button. Keep in mind that this step erases all data on your device.

Reboot the device once more, allowing it to complete its setup process as usual. After completing the initial setup, go back into Settings > Developer Options to enable USB debugging again. Type `adb devices` one last time to confirm your connection to the phone, then type `adb reboot boot loader` followed by `fastboot OEM unlock` to continue.

**Reformatting and Installing SuperSU**

After unlocking the device, you'll see a decrypt data prompt. Tap "Cancel" to bypass this step and proceed with wiping the data. This is essential for disabling encryption. Type `adb push super su.zip space SD card super su.zip` in the Command Prompt and press Enter to transfer the SuperSU zip file to the phone.

Install the SuperSU zip by tapping on it, then swiping through any confirmations prompts until you reach "Reboot System." Wait for the device to reboot, allowing you to complete your setup as usual. After initial setup is complete, download an app called Root Checker from the Play Store and tap it to check that your phone has root access.

**Custom Recovery and Further Customization**

Once you've confirmed root access using Root Checker, you can proceed with customizing your device further. As of writing this article, I have a comprehensive ROM repository available on my website, allowing users to sort by device or other criteria as needed. Additionally, I offer a video tutorial explaining the process of flashing a ROM across various devices.

For those interested in pushing their device's capabilities, I invite you to explore these resources and share your experiences with this community.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys D from the unlocker.net and today I'm going to show you how to rot the next bit Robin so if you aren't familiar rooting is essentially to Android what jailbreaking is to IOS so in rooting your Android device it allows us to get complete administrative rights and we can change the software on it that means removing the bloat Weare that our carriers put on or whatever you want uh and then down to things like entirely flashing new versions of Android called custom roms so once we root the device we can actually flash a so once we root the device we can actually flash what's called a custom recovery image now normally the recovery image is used by your manufacturer to flash the device in case of an error or something they can Flash their own ROMs which is their entire operating system and everything that is supposed to be on the phone when it comes out of the box now what we do is after we have Rude access we can put a custom recovery image and that allows us to flash unsigned ROMs or ROMs that are not made by the manufacturer and there is a huge ecosystem of people developing these ROMs and some of them are really cool with interesting performance tweaks interesting customizations and just even some of them are built on newer versions of Android that the manufacturer hasn't quite made a ROM yet for all kind of cool so without further Ado here's how to rout flash a custom recovery and go through that whole fun process on your next bit Robin okay so I'm going to be using Windows for this tutorial but you can use a Mac by downloading the Mac 8B setup procedure below and following the steps in terminal instead of command prompt you also need to put the do slash and other things that you should just know if you're used to doing these type of procedures on a Mac you can also Google for more information this will also erase everything on your phone so please make sure that you back up anything you want to preserve okay so first we're going to set up ADB so you can click the link below to be taken to my site and then click this link here and it's really quick it only takes about 5 minutes to do uh essentially you're going to download a quick program that will then install uh ADB fast Boot and everything else including the drivers that you will probably need after that we're going to download the recovery image normally recovery image is used to recover a phone when it is damaged or broken by the manuf fact we're going to actually flash a custom recovery image that will allow us to not only do that for ourselves but to do other things like flash custom roms and also to flash files that will allow us to get route access which is what we're going to do in this tutorial so click the link here to download the latest version of the TWRP Recovery click the next link to also download the Super SU okay so if you get a choice to save those files in a certain place we need to put them in the c a ADB folder now that's going to be what was created whenever you did the ad tutorial that I linked to before so if it didn't do that give you an option that is uh mine automatically puts it in downloads we're going to find those two files in downloads and we're going to copy them over to that folder and just make sure that it is in the folder with ADB and fast boot both inside after we do that we need to enable USB debugging on the phone so we're going to pull down the notification tap at the top tap on settings scroll all the way down to about phone scroll all the way down to build number and continually tapping it until it says you're a developer we can then hit back go to developer options and in here we're going to enable OEM unlocking click enable and USB debugging and click okay okay then we're going to plug the phone in via USB and we're going to go to that ADB folder we're going to hold down Shi on our keyboard and right click in any blank area in here and then hit open command window here once in there we can type in ADB devices and hit enter and this is to check to make sure that our phone and computer can see each other uh it says unauthorized here so to fix that we need to go on the phone and you'll see this dialogue pop up we're going to say always allow and click okay and then back on the computer we can type ADB devices again and this time it should say device next to the serial number which means it can see it so now we're going to type ADB reboot boot loader and wait for the device to reboot then we're going to type fast boot OEM unlock and hit enter if at this point it gets stuck at waiting for device we're going to close the command prompt then right click anywhere blank in that same ad folder and hit open command window here again to get a fresh command prompt then we're going to type in fast boot but we're going to put in this little extra bit at the end which you can copy and paste from my site below or just read it from here and type it in uh then finish the rest of the command OEM unlock now for some reason uh the next bit Robin requires this sometimes not all of the devices apparently but some of them do so if we get stuck here waiting for device you just need to make sure you put that little piece at the end of every fast boot command so it'll be fast boot that piece and then whatever the rest of the command is so we're going to do that for the rest of this tutorial it'll say this on your phone so we're going to uh push volume down to select yes and power to select that but keep in mind that at this point this is where you will erase your device so just make sure that before this you have everything backed up it'll reboot and we can and wait for that once the device reboots go through the normal setup process to get back to your home screen once we do that we need to reenable USB debugging so we're going to go back into settings back into about phone tap build number so we can be a developer go back developer options USB debugging back on hit okay and back in our Command Prompt we can type ad devices again and we'll get this dialogue again we can tap always allow and okay to and then we're going to type ADB reboot boot loader and hit enter then we can type fast Boot and I'm going to paste my little extra part afterwards and then flash recovery recovery.img and hit enter and then we can unplug the phone and we're going to push the volume down button to get to recovery and the power button to select it and it should boot into the team win recover that we just flashed onto the device it tells you decrypt data just hit cancel and then here it's going to say we want to make things not just readon so we're going to say yep to that by swiping to allow then on this screen we're going to actually wipe data and we need to do this in order to disable the encryption that you just saw hit wipe format data type in yes and hit the check mark at the bottom right then we can hit back back again back again then our computer we can type ADB push super su.zip space SD card super su.zip and hit enter and that'll push the super su.zip file uh that we downloaded earlier to the storage after we've formatted the phone and then we can tap install super su. zip and swipe to confirm and then wait for it to install once that says it's done we can tap reboot system and wait for it to reboot then the device will reboot you'll need to go through the setup proc in one more time okay then once it reboots we can download an app called Root Checker from the play store so that we can make sure it has root and tap that once we open it it should give us a super user request we can hit Grant and it should say that it is rooted there you go you're rooted have a custom recovery and can go on to do any number of things including flashing custom roms which are a lot of fun uh if you want to do any of that though click the link below to be taken to my site where I have a really cool ROM repository filled with ROMs for a lot of devices and you can sort by device and other uh facets as well I also have a video on how exactly to flash a ROM regardless of the device you have so check that out uh otherwise uh let me know if you guys have any issues with this tutorial don't write them in the comments on YouTube though they don't notify me when you do that so please click the link
