the best process is really just flashing a custom recovery like cwm and just flashing an update.zip for rooting. you will need cwm eventually so i think theres nothing wrong with flashing cwm first before rooting. and this process works with jb mtks.

don'T think so.....because if you flashing the (from droid tools modyfied) boot.img you can do a backup in droid tools....you can't do this while flashing the recovery....and i prefer droid tools backups instead of cwm-r backups!

If your phone is MT6577 base you can patching your own stock boot to CWM (in English) with MTDT. I have MT6577 1 GB Ram from Zyrex vendor and successfully patch stock boot to be CWM-5.0.xx and flash using MTK Flash tools

On Goophone I9 (MTK6589) when I try to do a back up it gets stuck at userdata_nvram_only.ext4.tar
Hello Rua1, I'm so happy to see you here my friend.
I don't understand this line please?
what did you mean to say here Rua1? because I'm confused.
I just got a new phone, which is: STAR S7589 - Quad Core MT6589 1.2GHz 1GB RAM - Android 4.2.1 JB.
I'm trying now to create a full system backup before I do anything to the phone, but I can't do a READ BACK following your method via SP FLASH TOOL. (I'm using version: 3.1308.0.125)
when I click on Read back and then plug in my phone nothing happens! the SP Flash Tool says: SEARCHING as if it can't feel the phone even though my drivers are okay and good!
here is the story:
* I have the right drivers for mtk6589, and I could load MTK Droid Root & tools and I created a scatter file (MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt)
* when I go to SP Flash Tool and load the scatter then go to the read back tab and create the ROM_0 and put the needed Hex code for a full back up ended at the: CACHE Address for a full back up
* then I switch off my phone, then I remove the battery for about 5 seconds then I put it back and then on SP Flash tool I click on READ BACK then now I plug in my phone to the computer then I wait and nothing Happens!
I tried pressing the volume + and - in various ways and still nothing happens! no read back ever started!
can anyone here with the same phone model help me find out how to start the read back process on SP Flash Tool for a full system backup?
I'm still trying tho, but I guess I need some help here.
thanks guys, and appreciate your work Rua1

MKT Droid Tools uses ADB which uses a different driver to that required by SP Flash tool. Remove and replace the battery, plug in the USB cable and then open Device Manager to see if all drivers are installed
of course installed and all is fine... and not the first time to use mtk droid and toos... so all my drivers r fine... I need help from people with the same phone... maybe there is a combination of keys to be pressed or something, as I tried many and still nothing and still cant read back and still SPFT is saying: Searching!
::EDIT::
ok, even though I tried 2 different drivers for the mtk6589 so far and both are working for MTK droid and tools, but I still want to try what you might have JohnnyInBriz can you link me both drivers if you have them?
I even tried: PDAnet ADB MTK6577 / MTK6589 Drivers.
I won't mind trying further more.

Remove the battery and replace. Connect USB cable without turning on the phone. Check in Device Manager if the driver is missing. If driver is installed then start any download or readback after removing/replacing the battery before replugging the USB cable (with phone powered off)

Guide for properly install mt65xx drivers on windows 7 x64 to read back from SPFT
after spending almost half a day searching like crazy for whats wrong here with this phone or driver or windows or whatever, I managed to find a solution based on some useful member's contributions like: yuweng. "thanks buddy"
thanks to you JohnnyInBriz as it really seemed to be a driver issue... "but" also a port issue.
first of all I advise anyone willing to install mt65xx drivers to check out yuweng signature and click to view the 3rd contents to find out a link to Mediatek Driver Auto Installer and to download it but don't install yet! wait alittle and read...
now I also advise a clean uninstall of all old mt65xx drivers u might installed during testing this and that with a little handy program called: USBDeview this program has 32bit and 64bit versions. check below to download:
USBDeview 32bit
USBDeview 64bit
now after downloading the right version for your system from the above links, launch it, now either u plug or unplug your device (android) just look in the USBDeview window for all mt65xx drivers or preloaders or android devices and select them all (use Ctrl+click to select) and right click on 1 of them and choose UNINSTALL.
close USBDeview and restart your windows.
now it's important to hit F8 before windows starts to enter Windows Advanced Startup options.
now choose from the menu:
disable driver signature enforcement
now windows will load..
make sure your device is not pluged to the computer
now you remember the auto installer from yuweng's signature? "Link above"
now start installing it by unrar then double click: Install.bat
drivers will be installed and if you get a windows driver signature warning message just ignore it and click on Install Anyways!
when the auto installer is done, it'll tell you to hit enter to finish and it'll close once you do so.
Restart your Windows now.
now remember what I said about Port problem?
try to change the USB plug of your computer when u plugin your device, now just plug it into a different USB plug than the one u used before.
now I look into my Device manager window and I see under Ports (COM & LPT1) :
Preloader USB VCOM Port (COMxx) "where the xx is the number for the com"
but hey... if u plug with or without battery and switched off phone then u won't see this lasts forever, it'll be shown for a second or 2 then will disappear (don't worry).
now to SP FLASH TOOL:
unplug your phone and remove battery..
open SP FLASH TOOL and load the scatter then head to the READ BACK section and do as shown in rua1's 5th post here then hit READ BACK and now if you remember u have ur phone without battery, now put your battery back and plug in your phone to the computer and there you're.... READ BACK will start.
I hope as this helped me that it'll help any one with same problem, I just wanted to write it down for myself and all of us for future easy find and use.
thanks to:
rua1 for his amazing tool.
yuweng for the auto mt65xx drivers installer, and many others things to list, for example his TUT for fixing SPFT reporting error: too large & causes region overlap... thanks buddy.
and thanks JohnnyInBriz for your reply about driver problem as it lead me to do all this.
now I still need help understanding this line here:

I think rua1 tell for everyone this:
#18
So even if someone wants to try some ROM improved, but different and not safe to be on your device, better you be prevented and removing those options in SPFT.

thanks lopestom and Mawe79 for your explanation, and actually this is what I thought but excuse me if I just wanted to make sure and not just leave it to guessing if you know what I mean.
as for bricking the phone so I'm unfortunately sad to announce that my Star S7589 is now BRICKED! Rofl!
seriously it's bricked because I was stupid enough to try formatting my phone using SP Flash tool and choosing Format Whole Flash. so this way I removed the preloader from the phone and it's now dead.
I haven't found any resources so far on the internet for a solution to such case specially when it comes to the new MT6589 processor, not to mention the phone model itself.
if anyone interested in checking this out with me trying to find a solution to this case (as I know it'll happen to others sooner or later) then I'll be glad to provide the whole story and what I tried to do and what I found out and what's going on on device manager, etc. just contact me in PM cause I guess this is not the suitable thread for my case.
thanks again guys.
::EDIT::
I'm glad to announce that I unbricked my phone.
Missions accomplished and problem is solved with a very unique way.
will write about it sometime later.
now it's official that MT6589 can be unbricked even if u make a Whole Flash Format via SP Flash Tool.
::EDIT # 2::
I downloaded a stupid ROM from needrom.com for my S7589 and it caused my phone to get bricked again ( Rofl )
no worries as I got it back to life, but the thing is that this time it was different... kinda little tricky to get it back to life but it happened after sometime.
I need a Stock Factory ROM for Star S7589 without being modified or rooted or anything, is this possible? PM plz if u have it... hope it's latest: something after 15th of April 2013.
still trying things out, and once I'm sure I'll write about it later.
thats all

Please do not place the file on other sites!
Changes:
- Support MT6592. Unlike previous SOC, here, when reading the ROM through the FT, not read block preloader. This block can be backup in the program after obtaining root shell.
- File MTKdroidTools.ini has new variables ScatVer111 and ScatVer112, which listed SOC for which it is necessary to do a new type of scatter the appropriate version. At the moment it V1.1.1 for 6572/82 and 6592 for V1.1.2. If the SOC in these variables is missing, the scatter is the old type. Scatter the appropriate type is done with the backup and from "Block Map".
- When you create a CWM file size compared to the size of the block. If the file size exceeds, then flash it is not offered, but the file is saved. If you choose to create CWM automatically and exceeded its size, we attempt to do CWM of mini template, which excludes the partitioning SD card into 2 parts.
- On phones with ubifs filesystem backup system unit is in 3 forms:
- tar archive. not for FlashTool!
- system.ibifs.img. not for FlashTool!. Of this file under linux you can make an image for Flashtool
- nodl_system.bin. As owners say, this file can flash through FlashTool. It must be edited manually rename and move to a folder for FT.No guarantees, on your own risk!
241- Additional options for newwer MTK chipset
Sonme trick for newwer chisper and Android version
Temporary root on Mediatek
GUIDE - How to
This guide was created originally by rua1 and transferred to new owner as old maintainer rua1 is no longer active.
- Make a ROM backup using Flashtool and ReadBack
- make the CWM recovery
- install SuperUser (get root)
- etc..
If your phone cannot rooted using the ROOT button.
1. Make scatter by means of MTKDroidTools
Scatter is the text file with addresses of the blocks, necessary for the SP FlashTool program.
After creation of scatter don't close the main window of the program!
Otherwise once again it is necessary to turn on phone.
2. In SP FlashTool choose this scatter and go on the Read Back tab
3. Choose path and a ROM file name
Click on Add button. Double click of a mouse on the appeared line. Choose a file name, the name has to begin with ROM_ as offers FlashTool! Remember path and the name of ROM_ file.
4. Determine the ROM_ size
Type has to stand in HEX. In the field of Start Address it is necessary to write down 0x000000. In the field of Length we copy from scatter the address of the block following after RECOVERY or the address of other block for fuller backup. For phones with type of the blocks EXT4 it is the cache block address. The number in the Hex format has to begin with 0x
5 . Choose Read Page Only on yaffs2 type blocks phones
In FlashTool choose Read Page Only in the field of Read Method. If this field isn't present, the window with this question can emerge, too we choose Page Only. On phones with EXT4 blocks it doesn't get out (as a rule).
6. Read Back ROM_
Click on Read Back button and connect the switched-off phone to PC. Here the options depending on a concrete phone are possible. Maybe it is necessary to press at the same time with connect of a cable the camera or volume buttons. Experiment and study work with FlashTool in threads with similar phones! On some MT6573 models, for example on B63, it can't be executed with any combinations and only testpoint need!
7. Prepare files for FlashTool and make CWM
If everything passed without errorss, we open the MTK Droid Root & Tools window which we left on 1th step. If for some reason the window isn't present, it is necessary to turn on phone and to connect it to the program. Click on To process file ROM_ from FlashTool button and choose the ROM_* file saved on the 6th step. At successful unpacking rom it will be offered to choose CWM from similar phone. Chosen CWM it is checked on compliance to the connected phone and if ok, the CWM is created.
Starting with v2.4.0 CWM it is made automatically and the file from similar phone shouldn't be looked for any more!
Аttention! Yaffs2 type blocks from this backup can't be Downloaded to phone, they aren't correct!
Use backup on 9th step if phone have yaffs2 type blocks!
8. Download new CWM to the phone
Start FlashTool, choose scatter in the folder created on the 7th step. Remove marks from all blocks! Click on RECOVERY and we choose the file CWM in the same folder which was created on the 7th step. Click Download and connect a cable to PC (phone has to be switched off) and expect the end of process.
DANGEROUS! On this step the CWM recovery block has to be marked only!
Also it is necessary to use only the Download button and not to use at all the Firmware Upgrade button!
9. Make backup, install SuperUser etc
Start device in CWM mode, connect to MTK Droid Root & Tools, go on the tab root, backup, recovery and, pressing on this tab the necessary buttons, we do:
- backup! ! ! (if in phone there is yaffs2 type blocks, do here surely, they received with readBack on 7th step aren't correct)
- install superuser (often mean "get root" under it)
- and other if need
Never needlessly flash/download preloader and DSP_BL blocks! It is always dangerous!
On some models of phones (for example Alcatel) you will have a brick even if you download these blocks read from phone which you own!
Always remove from them marks in SPFT!
134How to install CWM on most rooted mtk devices
I believe this procedure is not possible on phones with a ubifs file system.
This Tutorial was originally written by Rua1 on the Russian forum, here.... http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post986046.html#p986046 post #1000
You will need Adb drivers installed on your computer. http://pdanet.co/a/
And MTKDroid tools http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Mtkdroid tools contains exploits necessary for the rooting process, and this may be detected as a virus by your antivirus program, just temporarily disable your antivirus while downloading, or if you're really paranoid, don't download!:laugh:
Connect your switched on rooted mtk device to your computer and open MTKDroid tool, the tool will recognise your device and connect to it, if the colour indicator in the bottom left corner is green, you already have root shell,and can go on to the next step, if it is yellow, click on the root button at the bottom, and wait for the progress bar, if the indicator stays yellow, or you get an error message, this probably means you do not have Busybox installed, you can install it from the google play store. When the indicator turns to green you have root shell which is necessary for this operation.
Next click on the tab 'root,backup,recovery' and select 'to use boot from phone' then click on 'recovery and boot' and shortly after a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to 'make cwm recovery automatically' click yes
The tool will then create the recovery and another dialogue box will appear asking to 'install created recovery to phone', click yes.
And finally the tool will ask to reboot into recovery mode, click yes and the device will reboot into CWM recovery so you can check the installation was successful.

I assume that you have the necessary drivers installed as that subject is dealt with at length elsewhere in these threads.
Open Droid tools by clicking on the .exe file and connect your rooted switched on phone(with debugging enabled), the application will connect to your device and will show its details. If your device is rooted the colour indicator in the bottom left corner will be yellow, click on the root button at the bottom
wait for the progress bar and the indicator turns to green and then you have root shell, which is necessary for backup, and will remain in that state until you reboot your device. If the indicator stays yellow, that probably means you don't have busybox installed, you can install it from google play store
Next click on the tab'root,backup,recovery' and tick the box next to 'backup userdata and cache' if required, and finally click on backup, when the tool has finished copying the files, you will then have a complete backup of your device which is saved in the mtkdroid tools backup folder. Note Userdata and Cache may contain your personal data.
Should you need to restore your device to its current state, you can do so by flashing your backup back to your device as follows.
Open droid tools, no need to connect your device to pc, click on tab 'root,backup,recovery' then click on 'to prepare blocks for Flashtool'
then navigate to the folder with your backup file, open the backup file, then select the MD5 file and click open,
the tool will then copy the required files to another folder '!Files_to_Flashtool' which is also inside the backup folder. you can then flash the files to your device with SPFlashtool by selecting the scatterfile in the 'files_to_flashtool folder'
Known bugs: Error when preparing files for FlashTool if in the backup folder there are two scatter files, (normal and PMT). It is necessary to remove one of them from the folder, this will rectify the error.
Thanks to Rua1 for creating this fantastic tool
Never needlessly Download preloader and DSP_BL blocks! It is always dangerous! On some models of phones (for example Alcatel) you will have a brick even if you download these blocks read from your own phone! Always remove ticks in SPFlashtool!!
