The Coolpad F2 is the first 8-core powered Android phablet released by Chinese manufacturer Coolpad back in September this year. The Coolpad F2 rocks a 5.5″ HD display along with a decent spec sheet which include a 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, microSD slot, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 2,500mAh removable battery as well as Android 4.4 KitKat running in the background.

not work 🙁
I don’t expect this to work. Stop posting noob methods to root. Try something more technical and manual. This is bound to fail.
well then, don’t appreciate the codings of the software developers that is already made for us. If you want a harder method, try finding a custom rom with manual rooting on it.
If that is 2mlg4u, try SRSroot, check if your device is in the compatibility list and use it.
TO root the Coolpad F2 just follow this guide.http://androiduniverse.it/archives/248 It’s an option inside the menus, pretty simple.
