Followup replies by people who successfully managed to apply this rooting procedure are very promising. Only thing missing for cautious users to actually perform this step is to have a way to undo all this in case of unforeseen errors.

While, in theory, it is well known from where the current firmware could be downloaded from, in practice this requires to be registered on the chinese forum where it is available. Apparently this requires a mainland china phone number and is thus rather impossible.

Unfortunately nobody with proper access to these files has been able to make them available on any western download platform. In case someone here does have access and would be inclined to help with this, here is the URL of the relevant forum posting:

Anybody?

EDIT: In the meantime, some generous soul at xda-developers provided the latest firmware version L1657.6.09.06.00 at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JBz...2cc9spp_dxF_WX and its MD5SUM is 61be6ef407781d885df4715de73a97f0
