Step-by-Step Guide for Rooting the Cloudfone Thrill 430x



The Cloudfone Thrill 430x, which sports a 4,160 mAh lithium polymer battery, is Cloudfone’s top of the line Android smartphone. It runs on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play processor. It’s a powerful phone for its price.

Just like flagship devices from big name brands, the Thrill 430x has been given the “root” treatment by its more technically-inclined owners.

How to Root the Cloudfone Thrill 430x

Cloudfone Thrill 430x Android Smartphone

For the uninitiated, rooting is basically gaining full access and control of the phone’s operating system. It’s similar to “jailbreaking” iOS devices. No, it does not make paid apps free.

If you are new to Android, I suggest you forego rooting your phone at the moment and read up instead on “Android root” to fully understand its benefits and disadvantages. For the tech-savvy user, read on for our step-by-step guide in rooting the Cloudfone Thrill 430x (a.k.a Innos D9):

DISCLAIMER:

Rooting will void your phone’s warranty and is for advanced users only. Your phone could end up as an expensive paperweight if you don’t know what you are doing.  If you proceed with the steps provided below, you assume all responsibility. This website and its author may not and will not be held liable for any and all damages arising from the use of this guide. This article is for educational purposes only.

FILES NEEDED:

PREPARATION:

Extract downloaded files to separate folders in your desktop. You should have a separate folder each of the files listed above.

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1 – Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings > Developer Options. Make sure USB debugging is checked.

STEP 2 – Attach the phone to the computer via USB cable. A “cdrom_install” folder will popup with a file called “setup.exe” inside. That is the Cloudfone Thrill 430x USB Drivers. Install it. If installation is successful, proceed to STEP 3.

If unsuccessful, run SuperOneClick and go to the “Advanced” tab. Tick “Use Alternate ADB Parser” then click Check Drivers. It should find and install drivers for your device.

SuperOneClick

After it says drivers are installed, close SuperOneClick.

STEP 3 – Inside the Root with Restore by Bin4ry folder, double click on the “RunMe” file.

Root with Restore by Bin4ry

STEP 4 – A command prompt terminal window will appear. Press 1 and then hit Enter.

Root with Restore Select Device Type

STEP 5 – On your phone, a screen will appear asking if you want to restore your phone. Proceed with the restore.

STEP 6 – Your device will restart automatically. Wait until your phone finishes rebooting and is detected by the computer again. If successful, you should see the message below on your computer.

Rooting Successful

STEP 6 – Press any key to close the terminal window and enjoy your rooted Cloudfone Thrill 430x.

  1. sir pag nagkamali po ba sa steps may instances po ba na ma-brick yung phone?

  2. Meron na bang available na CWM & ROM for this phone?

  3. Sir same lang po ba ang steps for Cloudfone Thrill 430g?

    • Yes, the procedure is the same but the USB drivers posted are specific to the 430x.

  4. Sir, sana gawa po kayo ng video ng manual rroting para sa thrill 430x. hindi ko po maopen yung Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.7z

  5. pwede po ba sa lahat ng cloud phone?

    • Yes, pwede. The procedure is the same for most Android smartphones but you will need your specific phone\’s USB drivers. Otherwise, you can use SuperOneClick to find drivers for your phone online.

      • JC Llamas /

        I’m trying to get the drivers via SuperOneClick but I’m not getting anything.

  6. Oliver /

    anung ver. kaya ng clockworkmod recovery comp. sa 430x?

  7. Not only did this article work for my cloudfone thrill 500g, it\’s also well-written. Good job man! Thanks!

  8. Peachy /

    Hi Sir,Just want to verify if this also supports unlocking cloudfonethrill.dual sim sya pero both locked sa globe.already went to several shops in makati but still can\’t find one who can help me with unlocking my phone .hope you can help.

  9. jobert delacruz /

    gud day sir. please help me root my cloudfone excite 350i. i really need your knowledge in rooting. thank you so much.

    • Hi, the steps for rooting are posted above. The procedure is the same for all phones. You just need to get specific USB drivers for your phone model using SuperOneClick.

      • jobert /

        it means that it is possible for every phone model, even though i am running android 2.3 and not ICS? thanks sir.

  10. I\’ve read from articles that says rooting will remove some functionality ie; wifi teethering? is this true? i haven\’t tried rooting my alcatel glory x 918n for fear i might brick or render my phone dead.

    PS: how about updating the the android ver. 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 does the alcatel support site have these binary file/s? Regards ^_^

    • No, rooting will not remove any functionality.

      As a matter of fact, the opposite is true as rooting enables users to add functionality manufacturers usually do not allow.

  11. May drivers din po ba kau ng 430g ?? Please enge nmn ng link..

    • You can use SuperOneClick to find the drivers for your phone online.

      • greiyz /

        ..help nman po pde pu ba gmitin ung pag root sa cloudfone thrill 430g para lumaki ung internal memory nia

  12. mackoy /

    sir possible po ba ma root ang cloudfone excite 350g?
    running on android 4.0.4

    • pinkjuly88 /

      Hi, I rooted my device with this procedure, we have the same device. Cloudfone Excite 350g

  13. hi sir! ask ko lang po.. sabi nila nag fafatal error daw pag windows 7 gamit nila and mas preferable daw mag root pag windows vista.. what’s your opinion on this sir? thanks!

  14. Romy Samson /

    Sir,

    Tried looking for the driver yet I could not find it.

    Do you have any suggestion or any other process?

    Thanks.

    Newbee lang po…

  15. jonjon /

    sir question… the device is asking for encryption password before restoring. what will happen next?

  16. lester /

    sir 430g phone bkit ayaw magwork sken?may adb driver naman po ako..

  17. pede po ba sa claudfone ice to?

  18. Eileen Grace /

    i got exactly the same result sir except for the part where mine said MOUNT: PERMISSION DENIED after the line “Going to copy files to its place.” Does this mean rooted na ako Sir?

  19. sir panu mo mag install ng recovery pag na root na yung phone? thanks

  20. Sir bat saken after ng root is unfortunately system UI has been stopped. Why ?

    • The rooting process probably didn’t finish correctly. Try rooting again and wait for your phone to restart before using it.

  21. di ko ma download yung SuperOneClick sir. ok pba yung link? tnx!

    • I just checked the download link for SuperOneClick. It’s fine. Try downloading it again.

      • Sir, ask lang po f pwede din po gamitin 2 pag root ng cloudfone excite 350g

      • sir panu ba ichange yung location/storage nung mga apps na iiinstall kasi pagnagdadownload ako ng apps laging error insufficient space daw yung internal memory.. 430g yung unit ko kahit na change ko na yung default storage from internal memory to usb storage.. error parin. ?

      • 5strings /

        sir, any info about the EXCITE 350G, hindi ko talaga makita ung driver nya sa SuperOneClick, i need help po, salamat ng madami

  22. sir cloudfone thrill phone ko mabilis mafull ung internal memory khit na unti ung nag rurun na app. and ung mga iba kung app nsa sd nman.. root po kya ang possible na solution dito. thanks.

  23. Um-okay naman yung installation sa’kin, but I would like to suppress the SU prompt.

  24. Gud day sir, just wanna ask if in case the phone will be “bricked”, what are the possible ways to restore it to its former state… I want to root my Cloudfone Excite 350i but a little bit hesitant of “what ifs” in case the rooting fails… Though, it’s cheap compared to other branded android phones but still its worth a good amount of money….

  30. Ok sana yang Cloudfone Thrill 430x, kaso wala pa syang mga custom ROMS, wala pa ring JellyBean. Sana may Pinoy na gumawa ng custom ROM para dito.

  31. when i plug the phone via usb, should it be shut down or okay lang na naka-on? and sa cloudfone may option whethre to connect as usb storage, media device, camera (PTP)….should i choose usb storage or media device?

    • i finished all steps and showed that it was successful…but i still cannot find the superuser icon in my apps…

      • I tried tge steps again and now my 430g isrooted. It is also already on autolink with link2sd but why is it napupuno pa rin internal memory kya I still get messages na error downloading app due to insufficient memory.

  32. dominic /

    sir sabi po sa phone ko system ui stop working..tapos nawala ung battery signal message and signal notifier ko sa taas..tapos hnd ko makita ung notify bar..pag ni slide down ko wala lumalabas tapos bumagal po ung phone ko..what should i do..thrill 430x help po

    • It means that rooting wasn’t done correctly. To fix it, you will need to boot into recovery mode and reformat the phone. You will lose all phone data (contacts/apps/settings/etc).

      I don’t have my Thrill 430x with me right now so I can’t give you step-by-step instructions on how to boot into recovery mode but if my memory serves me right, you can do it by:

      Turning off the phone and then press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons until the the recovery menu appears.

      • dominic /

        sir ok na po na recover na..sir ano po sa tingin nyo nagawa kong mali…sinunod ko naman lahat ng instructions…saka sir meron ka po ba mail or etc. pra mblis usapan senxa po sa istorbo..TIA
        reply po please :)

  33. sir… bakit ayaw ma root ng 430x ko???

    stuck lang siya doon sa:

    checking if i run in normal mode or blah blah blah….

    wala ng sumusunod pagkatapos… parang walang nangyayari…

    i followed the steps above pero wala talaga… ayaw Y_Y

    • Make sure all appropriate drivers are installed. Also, try using a different computer.

  34. how can i restore my files..?

    please answer….

  35. boss pano ko mabalik s normal ung coudfone excite350e? its shows cloudfone logo only after rooting? thanx…

  37. Sir, i know this is not the website that i should ask this issue regarding my cloudfone 430x. Everytime i’m using my Wifi, browsing in the internet, then suddenly I lock my phone, or it automatically lock when i’m not using my phone, it has a chance to hang up my wifi connection and my virtual keyboard, then my notification bar (at the top of the phone) is clear, or no options at all..(it should have the wifi, bluetooth, gps, data, auto, brightness general, meeting, outdoor and silent options when looking at the notification bar) and when i’m typing on my virtual keyboard, it dosen’t input anything on my phone.so here’s my question, how can i fix this issue?do i need to update my android OS to fix this?as of now, I have 4.0.4 version of android in my phone. (it is according to the setting -> about phone of my mobile device.

  38. Mark Gil /

  41. i’ve rooted tons of fone even unlooking bootloader but this one giving me pain in neck. grrrrrrrr!!!
    and when i inspect the usb drivers installed i notice that one of the driver has a question mark sign…that might be the cause of system UI stop processing..hmmm

    give feedback later…

  42. FYI: I have now root access on my Cloud thrill 430x, successful! Thanks so much Lyle.God bless.

    • FYI: I now have complete root access on my Cloud Thrill 430X,just following this very simple instructions in this site, thanks so much Mr LyLe, more power. God bless!

  43. Manage to root my Thrill 430X, Thanks Lyle, You’re the Man!!
    BTW i used my old laptop running WXP..

  44. pwed ba ito sa cloudfone 350g? tapos kung pwed ganito rin ba ang process if not pwede paturo?

  45. ask lng po. may requirements po ba before magroot? ex. build #, baseband version, etc.? compatible ba ang rooting sa WINDOWS 7 Ultimate?

    • Lyle /

      No specific requirements other than the USB drivers. For this tutorial, I used Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

  46. nell /

    Sir, pwede rin po ba ito sa cloudfone thrill 430g ?

    • Lyle /

      The procedure is the same for most Android phones regardless of brand or model.

      The key to making it work is successfully installing the USB drivers of the phone.

  47. sir, my cloudfone 430x cannot detect my wifi at home, but my friend’s phone can detect it and even my laptop. what should i do? please help me. Maraming salamat po!

    • Lyle /

      Can it detect other WiFi networks? If not, you have to send it in for repairs. A faulty WiFi is covered by warranty.

  48. Marcus /

    sir?first time ko po magroroot may case po ba na brick na ang cf 430x? natatakot po kasi akong mag root eh bka ma brick lng ang fone ko

    • Lyle /

      I am not aware of any specific case of a bricked 430x but the possibility of it happening to your phone is real.

      Ask yourself why you want to root your phone in the first place. Weigh the benefits against the risk and decide for yourself if it’s worth it.

      Rooting is not for everyone. I, myself, didn’t root my first two Android phones and I was perfectly happy with my previous phones and customized it to the hilt.

      • Marcus /

        :) salamat po hindi ko na i ro-root ang fone ko :)

      • Benjamin Espina /

        im just rooting my phone because it has only 2gb and i nid a directory bind to bind it in my phone sd to my ext sd card for that to work i need to root my phone and thats it
