I followed all the steps and when I'm about to flash my ported CWM the red bar went to 100%, but i got an error:

BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)

Need download all images!

(Hint)
DA paritial images download is ONLY allowed under following prerequisite: 1.All images have been downloaded to target before, and target could boot up: 2.The images layout map on the target is same as the load that is to be downloaded.

when this error appeared on my end, I just created a new scatter file using MDRT and used that in flashing recovery.img

because it has secured boot.img, unsecuring it then flashing back doesn't work as well.. it prints an error partition size changed..

phone specs:
Hardware : MT6575
Model : O+_8.75_Android
Build number : Oplus_A100ALPS.GB2.MP.V2
Build date UTC : 20121117-112624
Android v : 2.3.6
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13.P1, 2012/04/27 18:49
Kernel v : 2.6.35.7 (queen@dell-desktop) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 Sat Nov 17 19:25:05 CST 2012

now I will try rooting it via CWM recovery (the way dev roots nexus even it has secured boot.img) hope you can help me..

when this error appeared on my end, I just created a new scatter file using MDRT and used that in flashing recovery.img

you have O+ 8.75 right? are successful in rooting it?

I'm trying to root mu phone, and I'm using this tut:

Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?jq6jz5i9vyr8zwv

I'm able to upload my boot.img and everything is OK with that boot.img, same size az MTK Tools says and all good. After that I unlocked boot.img in cygwin with plugin for that, and all is good, but boot.img size is smaller than original. Is that OK? After that I can not download that unlocked boot.img with Flash tool to my phone, there's error...

Whats wrong?

Edit:

I tryed with a recovery also, and here's error, same as error for boot.img:



Any help?

After trying again, there's new error:



Can I flash/boot with insecure boot.img with fastboot or something?

Hi buddy,

The second image seems to show that your boot.img is too large for the partition please check this It should be around 5.5MB maximum :eek:

What version SP flashtool did you use?

It still seems to me some versions work better than others for flashing while others work better for reading back :confused:

You could try SP Flashtool v4.0 for flashing the recovery.img to see if it works ok.

How to Video Here :good:

SP Flashtool v4.0 Here :good:

Kind Request Regarding This Thread

Hi All,

Welcome to this thread started by @yuweng who is the master of mt65xx soc. :angel:

Speaking for myself here.
After receiving many PM's I would ask all people wanting help here to PLEASE PLEASE read the entire thread very carefully first because many of question you have got have been answered many times over and while we do not want to appear rude towards people I am sure you can understand that we get fed up with answering the same questions over and over again.

If after reading the thread you are still stuck then by all means feel free to ask for help which we will gladly provide you :)

I am sure you will all understand how messy the thread will get otherwise. :eek:

Many Thanks in Advance :cool:

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Can I try to flash boot.img (is smaller than original, original is 6mb, with ro.secure=0 is about 4,2mb) with that SP Flashtool v4.0?

I am not too sure if thats right buddy can you upload your 6mb boot.img for me to take a look at and make sure it's correct.

PS: My quote above is not aimed at you Pyntux

Sure, just a sec to reboot to Windows and upload boot.img... ;)

Edit:

Here I am, in Windows, hehehhe...so, this is original boot.img downloaded from phone, same size as MTK tools says (I think):

Code:
http://www.4shared.com/file/MTJyOKeu/boot.html

, but I'm not sure is it good... :(

This one is with ro.secure=0, I edit original one in cygwin with plugin for that (thanks to Yuweng, if thats his plugin, I do not know, I'm sorry...):

Code:
http://www.4shared.com/file/-_FngVH7/unlocked-boot.html

I'm confused because second boot.img is smaller than original, and the original one is same size as MTK Tools says, in scatter file...

This is scatter file generated with MTK droid tools:

Code:

Sorry buddy I am having major PC issues at the moment :rolleyes:

I will try get things sorted and take a look at the boot.img for you :(

If I was you I would just stick to flashing the recovery.img to test SP flashtool v4.0 works OK on your device. I think the boot.img will be ok but if its wrong you could end up with a brick for a while :( That risk is up to you :eek:

I have to work tomorrow but I will check it when I get home so I hope its not too urgent :eek: I hope you understand. :eek:

Hi dj_suca,

Some phone's require you to have the battery removed and some need the battery in :confused: Again a little bit of trial and error may not go a miss. I have heard of some phone's needing the volume + button to be held in too. :eek:

Also a pc reboot may help and try different usb ports.

If no luck try this SP Flashtool SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85.7z

    When i started this thread, not many rooting guides/ softwares/ techniques around, nowadays there are tons of it so this guide is kinda obsolete . . . :D

    So this will remains here as a guide & the same can be applies for rooting the unrootable MTK devices & also for the latest unrootable MTK 4.4.2 devices too . . . :cool:
    Tips : Upload stock recovery.img, port custom recovery, patch SELinux & root it via ported custom recovery


    One of my friend bought the latest, cheapest Shanzhai clone of the clone, MT6577, 4 inch S3 9300 android phone & it doesn't come rooted, with 3e recovery & no gapps ! Can't find support at all b'cos there is no brand on it ! :eek:

    Tried all existing rooting doesn't work... :silly: So far i've tried zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008, mkroot, SOC, Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v3 & a few other more that uses the exploit /data/local/tmp method all fail to work... :eek:

    With that, it triggers my interest & while looking for solutions at www & xda, found out mostly branded android phone has cwmr & therefore it is the easiest way to gain root access... :D

    And so here is the updated tut that exactly to do that & i believe its universal & it can be use on Any MT6575/ 77... :fingers-crossed:

    Happy Modding... :laugh:

    How to get ROOT on Cherry Mobile Candy TV

    This instruction for Cherry Mobile Candy TV Android phone

    Build Number: CHERRY_M57_8051-1J-8_HVGA_4G&2G_V013

    AND
    Noname chinese Lumia 610 replica (i have one of this)

    Build Number: hexing15_6626_gb2

    (Build number gets from MTK Droid tools)

    So, to get started complete thise steps

    1. Turn on "usb DEBUG" and "install apps from other sources" in settings of your phone (i dont know exact how this shows in english, so find by self)

    2. Connect phone to PC and install drivers
    You can use DriversZopoZP100 folder for drivers search or google it, if something missing

    VERY IMPORTANT - always check windows device manager for properly installed drivers (no unknown devices, or yellow "!")
    use 32 bit OS, i use win732bit for this

    3. Turn off phone remove battery and plug usb cable again, install all drivers

    4. Turn on phone, connect it to PC
    At this point you can run MTK Droid Tools and see(fist run app, second connect phone), that app sees your phone
    All what you can do here is make scatter file and later compare manually with my one (its for sure)
    MT6575_Android_scatter.txt
    If app didnt see your phone - this is driver problem, you must solve it

    5. Ok, here we go!
    Look at included picture test_point.jpg
    Its my phone, your must looks like my. Peel the stickes, so you have acces to six points.
    Solder two of this (marked with red circle) with wire or connect it together by something else
    After many trys i preferred soldering for this!!

    This is very important because without soldering this pins phone activated some virtual COM port, and SP FLASH TOOL cant work with him properly. This is the reason why all instruction in the net dont work for oru phone!
    When pins connected, phone activated ANOTHER Virtual COM port and can be flashed
    BOTH cases req. drivers and you must install it, when system asks

    So, with connected pins plug usb into phone (you may left it with or without battery - try it! i preffered install battery also!) - windows find new device and installed driver.

    Disconnect phone from pc, remove battery
    Open SP Flash TOOL
    Use ONLY 3.1222 version!! for example 3.1224 dont work for me! i spend many hours to understand it(
    click scatter loading, chhose scateer file from candy folder
    uncheck all boxes, click on RECOVERY, choose hexing15_6626_gb2_120815__recovery_121220-045622.img (NOT RECOVERY.img) from same dir

    Check only RECOVERY checkbox!!
    Click on download - TOOLS is waiting for phone.
    After that - plug in battery, plug in phone
    Flashing process must started. First - red line, after yellow and green circle at the end

    Now you have custom Recovery in your phone, so disconnect test points, put your phone into recovery mode (press and hold vol+ and POWER). After entering recovery mode connect usb, run MTKDroid tools

    it's detect that phone into recovery, so you MUST back up whole phone, after that - make ROOT (YES FINNALY!!) and delete chinese app (i add all my chinese app in config file, but you may have some another)

    So, try this out!
    I recommend to read other instructions of using SP FLASH TOOL

    Important thing is connect test points and use 3.1222 version
    without this i have
    BROM ERROR : S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005) error on firs stage of flashing (red line) (solve this with test points)
    and
    BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054) on secod stage (yellow line) (solve this with 3.1222 ver)

    Also many thanks for all guys, who make all work of discovering thise things!!

    sorry for bad english

    I think I did it!

    Thanks so much yuweng for being so helpful.

    In the end I asked http://colonelzap.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/hero-h2000-mt7577-rooting-tutorial.html for the earlier version's system img. I used that system to create my own rom and it worked!

    I now have full root as well as everything else working!

    Once again thank you for everything!!!

    Defo seems like a driver problem namely preloader-usbvcom driver.to check it turn off your phone and take out the bat then plug in the usb cable. Next go to device manager. control panel> hardware & settings> device manager. Now you will have to be really quick watching the list in device manager. Pop in your battery the list will quickly refresh and you should notice "Ports (Com & LPT) " appears & Disappears by "Processors" in mine. under this you should see preloader-usbvcom. if you have a yellow ! mark thats your problem. NOTE: You have to be super quick to catch it and it may take a few goes.
    I had to uninstall all drivers then reinstall about 3 times before they set properly.

    Never mind man .. MY PHONE IS ROOOOOOOOOOTED :D !!!!!!

    Damn this was such a hard & long trial to get this bloody phone rooted. I'll explain in short how I did it.

    GooApple V5+ (MT6575 1ghz - 2.3.6 Gingerbread)

    1. Factory reset the phone + format the SDcard (not needed probably)
    2. In "adb shell" do cat /proc/dumchar_info > /sdcard/firmware.info
    3. Connect the phone via USB storage mode, copy firmware.info from your phone to the "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146" folder.
    4. Open MTK_Rom_Studio.exe. Click on File, Load "firmware.info" and browse to the "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146" folder.
    5. Click on File again, then Save "Scatter" and save the scatter.txt in "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146" too.
    6. Open "Flash_tool.exe" from the "SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85" folder. Click on Scatter-loading and select the scatter.txt.
    7. Go into the Read back tab and click "Add". Double click the ROM_0 and browse to the "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146" folder and create a new folder called SPFT_UPLOAD. Open the folder and at Filename, type recovery.img and Save.
    8. Choose Type: Hex, Read Method: Read Page Only, at Start Adress I typed 0x980000 and at Length 0x00500000 (Saw this on MTK Rom Studio, ! IT CAN BE DIFFERENT FOR YOU SO CHECK IT !) and click OK.
    9. Then I shut down my phone, unplugged the USB, clicked on Read back and then Press and hold the volume - button on my phone and insert the USB cable in the phone. It began reading the "recovery.img" to "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146\SPFT_UPLOAD".
    10. Then I sent yuweng the recovery.img and he did something with it. I recieved a patched recovery.img and placed it in "MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146".
    11. Then I opened Flash_tool.exe from (SP Flash Tool 2.1134.00 another version - Tip of bigrammy). At Scatter-loading I selected the scatter.txt, then it automaticly chose the path of the new recovery.img. (Check if Recovery is checked in the list, if not , check it) then I clicked Download and it started to count down from 15 seconds to 1 second. When it was 0 seconds I plugged in the USB cable and it started to Download !
    12. Then I rebooted my phone, connected to adb shell again and typed "adb reboot recovery" as I don't know the shortcut buttons.
    13. Then I did 3 backup's of my phone as suggested by yuweng.
    14. Followed by mouting my USB in the recovery menu and copied "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to my SD card.
    15. Then I installed Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip in the recovery and BOOOM, ROOTED after 2 weeks of struggle !

    I really wanna thank you yuweng for keep answering my questions and keep helping me even with a headache :highfive:
    And also bigrammy for tipping me off with that Flash Tool version :D !


    I hope this euphoric 15 steps are usefull to someone and if you want I can always edit it (I think x))
    I'll be hanging around this post for a couple of days to make sure it's all clear for the following people.
