I just bought a Coolpad 1S 9976T, with factory Android 4.2.2, Build number 4.2.040.P0.140901.9976T.
Upon following the above rooting instruction “to the letters”. I got the error message “Failed :- (…Try another exploit if available (Error #9).
The only other available exploit is Faramir, which gave me the same error message.
I couldn’t go further on the rooting effort.
Please advise. Thanks.
