[GUIDE] How to ROOT your “Bird v1277” MTK 6577 Dual SIM mobile phone

[chunky2]

Found this on the Internet not my work, I now have a ROOTED fully working mobile running Ice Cream Sandwich, all credit goes to "TPSparky" for the development of the software.

First of all, go to the settings - Developer options and check "USB debugging"

Your phone NEEDS to be recognized as an "ADB Device" in "Device Manager" on your pc, or else this won't work!

Download this file:
https://rapidshare.com/files/1767087805/4.0root.rar

Unpack the RAR.
Double click the TPSparkyRoot.bat


TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Your phone will re-boot several times, be patient!!! The procedure should look something like this:

Once it's successful, your phone should now have a "Superuser" app installed and it should be rooted

YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Hi freeyourmobile, Yes it looks the same as my BIRD V1277 mobile.


Hi IcedFlame, no problem, but can you tell me where I should re-upload the pictures to?

RESPECT...

Hello chunky2,
I've searched everywhere on the internet, but I did'nt find an answer.
Does this Phone have a built in compass?

Hi, Not sure at the moment as I did a factory reset to clear out some old data and now its lock in recovery mode and I dont know how to get out of it.

Oh - I feel sorry for that.

V12 / v1277

I Think we should call this type of phone by its model which is V1277 and V12 respectively.

V12 looks perfectly the same as V1277 but it has MT6575 cpu which on the otherhand;
V1277 has MT6575 version 2 which they code named MT6577.

I think if we all agree with this we could identify/classify right away which phone was it whether its brand is either star, ulefone, bird or what not. Right?

By the way, Is anyone here got to try flashing a custom rom for this kind of phone like the MIUI? :fingers-crossed:

Rooting failed

I desperately need your help because i know that you are my life saver.

Model number: I9100
CPU: MTK6573
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9100XXK13
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100
Build number: GT_I9100_01
Custom build version: 1341280728

After the first rebooting the output text is : cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied.

I have tried it 3 times but with the same problems. Is your rooting program dedicated only for MTK 6577 because mine is MTK 6573. Do you have some clues on how to fix this. Thanks for your time in helping me out. :fingers-crossed:

I had a similar problem when trying to root my bird v1277 with Android 4.0.4
I ended up having to do the first steps of the script manually combining the phone's engineer menu and the adb shell.

The objective is to put the local.prop file, with ro.kernel.qemu=1 in it, in the /data directory so that the phone will run in emulater mode and give adb a root shell.
For this I created the local.prop file on my computer and pushed it to /data/local/tmp. Then I entered the engineer mode on my phone and searched around and found a place where you can type shell comands as the system user and copied the local.prop file to /data with busybox.
Hope this helps you

Instructions:

[email protected]$ adb push local.prop /data/local/tmp/local.prop
from PC: adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
from PC: adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/busybox
Enter engineer mode by typing on the dialpad *#15963#* (this may vary from phone to phone so search around if this code doesn't work).
Goto CDS Information / Network Utility. Then run: /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/ocal.prop /data/local.prop
You can run: ls /data to confirm local.prop is there.
Reboot.
From here on you can either manually do the rest of the script or copy the rest of it to a new script and run it.


EDIT: amended to make it actually work (originally tred to use mv instead co pushing busybox and using cp.
EDIT2: amended adb chmod to adb shell chmod

Hello

I do have a V1277 as well, but I'm not that up to date on android manipulations. Thing is, that I went into the engineer mode, got to CDS info/network utility. Ran ls /data and saw the local.prop. (I'm not sure if I did it before the " Then run: mv /data/local/tmp/local.prop /data/local.prop" or not...sorry...I'm noob). And also I ran the
Anyways. Everything still gives me error messages telling me that access is denied. In fact the mv command as well.

I guess I may be missing the first line of your instructions. If you have time can you please explain it a bit more deeply? (I got the TPSparkyRoot thing, with adb.exe in it, tried running the command adb push from total commander and also adb terminal)

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone.
I recently bougth a micro d-hdmi to hdmi for my v1277 so that I could use it to connect to my lcd tv.
I connected it and it works. The only thing that bothers me is that it won't go on full screen on the tv. The picture is always on portrait and centered at the lcd which kind a disgusted me. I cannot find any options on the hdmi menu to turn it to fullscreen or have it default to landscape mode just to use the whole screen real state.
Does anybody knows howntp do it? Is there an app to solve this that is available on google play.

Help.

.

Try these ones *#*#3646633#*#* or *#3646633#

You can also check if SystemLog / NetLog has an operational shell command box

id
ls -ld /data
cat /data/local.prop

I think i've tried all the engineer code listed on forums/web but anyway i tried again the one given by you and the result are still the same.
SystemLog / NetLog has no operational shell command box. But anyway i've installed "Terminal Emulator" from google play.
From the shell command in the device are there any way for me to check any directory that allowed system user running in emulator mode and give adb a root shell.
