Hi friends, who want to root your Xolo q1010i running on 4.4.2 just download and install kingroot and kinguser. I have tried so many methods to root my device but nothing worked finally I rooted my device using kingroot.

Sent from my Q1010i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hadn't seen this post a few days before. Broke my head, but finally Kingroot worked like a charm.

Please note that the version linked in this forum didnt work. Get the latest version of Kingroot from their homepage. All the best...

I have rooted my xolo q1010i (4.4.2) using "bgos10"'s useful post

I am not able to root my phone using Kingroot apk. I hv updated xolo q1010i to 4.4.2 KK. Pls tell how to go about it without using PC.
I was trying to root my device by kingroot and all other apps. But none were useful. Then I decided to root using sp flash tool and followed recent post on first page of this thread by bgos10. Pls download all the attachments in one folder as per this post. Also download preloader.bin file and keep it in same folder. In sp flash tool selected both preloader.bin file and recovery file which you are going to flash in your device. However before this It is necessary to install MTK usb drivers. For correctly doing this follow the following link.
http://thebroodle.com/microsoft/win...tk65xx-preloader-usb-vcom-drivers-in-windows/

The MT6582 Scatter File will give you "PMT error" when you will try to use it through SP flash tool. So it is advisable to generate your own scatter file for your device. So see the post of "Anvesh2013" in this thread and download "MTK Droid Tools" for generating your own scatter file which you should use for flashing recovery. The MTK droid tools can be downloaded from following link.
http://androidxda.com/download-mtk-droid-tool

So by following step by step process I could flash the carliv recovery and also root the device. During rooting The carliv recovery gave me msg that root is not properly installed and do you want to fix it. So I selected yes and rebooted device. After rebooting I noticed that device was rooted perfectly.
Thanks to both "bgos10" and "Anvesh2013".

I keep getting PMT Error even after flashing preloader.bin.
I tried to flash CWM from another linked and it worked. But in result when I flashed CM12 with CWM, my IMEI number got wiped.
Kindly help me out get rid on PMT Error.

Thanks and Regards.

I have a question, If I format the Booloader of my mtk 6582, could I flash a new bootloader, If I do manually for example, erases from (0x0000000000000000 to 0x0000000000c00000) >> (bootloader to begin of mbr)... Then could I flash my bootloader backup? Or could it brick my phone?

The problem is that spflash tools says "PTM changed for the ROM: It must be downloaded." but I want not format /system either /data ..... I've try do manually format (except bootloader, system and data) but the problem is not solved .... Can some one help me?

I've tried download the preloader.bin but not work... spflash says the same error

Note: I want not do a readback
