[Q] Dell Aero - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

The company I work for has received some Dell Aero's for eval. We mostly have iPhones and WM devices deployed. I have been playing with the Aero. Interesting device. Has anyone been able to get side loading done on the Aero? Also there is not toggle 2G/3G option so I cant force it to 2G.
While the phone has it's issues I would like to get some other apps loaded on it.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

ROM Or update
Hello guys
would somebody tell me a thing about this device (it may be a little thing indeed):
dell aero V01B from At&t. Cant find nothing about this device. It´s not even listed in dell web on line support. Neither at&t´s. Da***d!
I appreciate n reply.
Rgds

Finally I'm not alone to trying upgrade
let's roasted this phone to the oven
first I'm newer in here and Linux or Android environment
but I'll try to share what I found from googling activity
1. Root

I've tried using SuperOneClick but stuck on process. Maybe not supported for Android 1.5

Items such as google apps were _not_ deliberately removed: they actually were never included. Those missing apps are not freely available and depend on agreements with Google to be added to any distro. That agreement never happened, possibly were never attempted.
2. Flashing
-----------
FYI, firmware flasing for Dell Aero is Marvell (CPU) but I don't know why there is Tavor mention when recognize session the Phone with PC (Firmware Flashing tools)
Before instalation the phone should in flash mode :
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold all Button [Power + Back + Volume up/down + Menu + Camera]
- Flash mode came with Green Screen and some statement from Developer (c) Copyright 2008 Borqs Ltd.

Any updates on this? bitung did a great job here. I know its an old phone but I have one just sitting around I'd love to tinker with or turn into something to play emulators on/as a gmote.

You realy did a good job for this. My friend has one Dell Aero and he would like to upgrade to 2.x.
I did try my best to hack it but currently I still hasn't finished completely. This device could ROOTED by SupperOneClick easily. I also obtained the source code from DELL open source with release 2.1and built them sucessfully. But I wasn't able to find a good way to produce a ROM image like HTC etc as the flasher to be used for this device is different. I did try the TAVOR platform flasher that you provided but it didn't work. From the "flash mode" screen, we could see the bootloader provider is "Borqs", so I used firebolt instead. I found the firebolt is definitely a correct flasher for this device but it reconginized mff ROM file formate. As the Dell Mini i3 from China is similar with this device, so I try to download a "DELL_MINI3I_OMS1.5.ophone8_E034.mff" to flash it. But the firebolt seems block as some "IMEIBinding..." message. So I think we did need a original ROM from Dell to initial the workk first.
Because after I shell to the device with ROOT, I found it didn't have recover partition like other common device, so a original ROM would be very helpful when error occurred to restore back. The way I could try only now is manually install the 2.1 that I built with adb shell. But it would be easy to brocken.

sideloading still an issue
Hello all
I rooted my device form this other post on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-643868.html
I even pulled the settings.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and changed the install_non_market_apps to 1 but when i try to install an .apk file the security block still pops up. I dont know where else they have enabled the block.
I can install apps from the computer through adb, but I would like to install apps on the go without the need for a computer.
Thanks a bunch

hey hi there alan, I'm gurwinder. i'm frm india. here in india online shopping websites have lured us for buying dell aero at very cheap prices, i think lot of people have bought it online. but now all of them are facing lots of problems this phone has.
1.first of all this phone has locked access to everything we can download limited apps from Google market...yes android market because its not updated version, have 1.5 cupcake version and it doesn't allow system to be update...there is no option to download update to operating system in mobile. it so it doesn't allow any root app like z4root or superoneclick to be downloaded from android market...neither we can download it on desktop and transfer it to phone...it is no use because such is not allowed to be installed in phone..
2. we seriously want to upgrade the android operating system but cant do it..
3. there is a urgent to need to root this phone because we have very limited access to rights.... it is like we are provided with a desktop with a guest account....so at&t and google have every admin rights to this phone
so i thought going online and asking for help form you guys....you guys are expert and i know you will surely help us
thanks...

Dell Aero 2.1 Factory Update
I am Not responsible for bricked devices , dead SD cards, Thermo nuclear war , dead pixels or breaking your WARRANTY . Read only if know what you are doing . It can easily make your smartphone a smart paperweight.
Dell Aero a great phone with android cupcake now can be updated to 2.1 eclair .
1. Works only on windows xp so either use a windows xp PC or run virtual xp mode on windows 7 . ( Google Virtual Xp mode for windows 7 )
2. Download and install Firebolt. (http://www.mediafire.com/?f45haso0nklvfxf)
3. Enter flash mode on dell aero by pressing all buttons and holding . Power button should be held in the end . Phone should be powered off while holding button combo.
4. Connect phone via USB cable to the PC . Open device manager search for unknown device TAVOR . Update its drivers by searching the folder C(local disk):\program files\borqs\firebolt\drivers\usbdrivers\ or where you installed the files. Once done you should see an USB device named MTK bootloader in device manager.
5. Download firmware and extract it . (http://www.mediafire.com/?26b744sedds2yu4)
6. Switch off phone take out the battery.And open Firebolt and set it to look like this.
7. Press the button in red circle and select the extracted firmware file(.mff).
8. Connect the phone WITHOUT battery via USB cable to the PC.
9. Press flash(black rectangle) and insert battery together .
10. If the phone powers on in flash mode ( Green Screen with Flash Mode written on it ) let the software flash the phone. Elif try the step again.
( This method doesn't give usb error like the engineer method in which you turn the phone on flash mode first and then flash it . )
( If error occurs or flashing doesn't start try reinstalling the drivers or get the drivers signed)

z4root is not in the market for a long long time check google, and also check "install from unknown sources" in android settings

[Q] Obtaining root on generic tablet

Ok I've got a generic tablet from Walmart, the DOPO MD-740. It's running ICS 4.0.3. I've been in contact with customer service about this thing, and while they're friendly and courteous, they really don't know anything about their product. According to their lead tech "there is no recovery or download mode".
Headache.
Well fooling around with this device, I've found.... SOMETHING....
While holding the volume up button at the same time as the power button, it boots straight to one single image, shown below. I have a feeling it's the download mode. Whatever it is, it's progress. Can anyone recognize what I got into? It's not a fatal error-- when I hit the reset button and reboot the tablet normally, all is fine.
I've tried to reboot into recovery via adb but I get the message that the command is not allowed. And of course, su is not allowed either.
Anyone have any suggestions on running adb on my computer... what process I would need to follow to manually root an ICS tablet? Would I just follow the same steps as I would in manually rooting a gingerbread device, or is there different lines of code I would need to use for ICS?
As for what device the kernel for THIS device has been ported from (it's obviously emulating something that has a magnometer which this unit doesn't have, etc...)... tech support doesn't know that either. The only clue I have that MIGHT help (other than the kernel version, build number, etc... all this is documented in another post, if anyone cares to take a look) is the FIRST boot image is of the penguin.
I would appreciate ANY feedback/information/advice anyone could offer in progressing with this "adventure"!
Thanks
Well with another twenty minutes of blindly pressing buttons I've found the recovery mode. From the screen displaying the android with the open panel (which I have concluded is NOT the download mode), pressing volume up, back, and power at the same time opens the recovery mode. The recovery is:
Android system recovery <3e>
Recovery system v4.00
No option to apply zip from sd, I guess this is to be expected on a stock device.
hi
in application select usb debug mode
install from unknown sources
connect to pc and run DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT
should work
regards
fred
didn't work.
After adb started successfully, sat for two hours and did nothing.
hi
are you using windows ?
is it reconized by windows ? do you have the drivers installed ?
ich processor use that tablet ?
Yeah I'm running Windows Vista, and my PC does recognize the device when it's connected (says drivers have been installed properly when connected under USB debugging mode, no problem transferring files in USB mode)
It's the ARMv7 processor
The device is recognized as Full ASOP on Rk29sdk
I've run across a new problem, which might actually be the main issue of the WHOLE problem. I was trying to push some files with adb from my laptop and it came to my attention that the driver for my device only acknowledges it as a mass storage device, even when the tablet is NOT mounted for mass storage. SOOOO... I guess I need a driver that will allow me to use adb. Any suggestions?
did you try with the drivers package from sdk ?
yup. Even gone as far as uninstalling the adb and sdk programs I had on my pc, downloading the newest versions and reinstalling. My computer "recognizes" the divice, but only as folders. Even when it's not mounted as mass storage.
STILL having te driver issue. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fnd a driver that will work with adb?

How did I root my “Full AOSP Rk29sdk”-MID 7-inch tablet (Android 4.0.3)
Hi Wingnut79 and others,
I have an Android 4.0.3 Tablet 7 inch, named "Full AOSP Rk29sdk" - and was also eager to root it....
After hours of search, trial and error, I succeeded.
My tablet is now fully rooted, and I can use ROM manager and all the aps for rooted android-devices....
How did I do that ?
I explain it here, in the attachment...
As you can see, my Windows is in the Dutch language, so I nevertheless hope everyone can understand what to do where...
I hope this can help...
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad!
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad! If u go on ebay u will see tons of tablets with ics 4.0.3. but the android on it it's a modified and weird version. I doublt it even is ics. One of my friends have it, and he cannot use the App Market, bcuz it said "Device not compatible with Market". Did u successfully downloaded stuff form the Market? If not, that maybe it's a piece of Chinese crap and u should call walmart for a refund.
It downloads apps from Android Market, Getjar, Amazon etc... just fine.
BAUDI--
I will try this later this afternoon, is it going to be an issue that my laptop OS is windows vista?
Mine tablet is a chinese tablet - but it's clearly really Android 4.0.3.
So, I also download and install applications from Playstore /Android Market/ etc.
It has Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS-AGPS, FM-radio,.... and evrything works really fine.
My sole problem was: no rootaccess (what I didn't understand, because it's "Android Open Source Project"...?)
Wingnut79,
as far as described in the guide I refer to, it works equally well on Vista. Just sometimes a little bit other name or place to find the properties or so - but should not be a problem at all.
I forgot to insist on the need to kill and restart adb after each change. I am not sure its really necessary each time, but I experencied that when I first thought "again nothing", it seemed well to work after "adb kill-server" and then "adb start-server"....
At some steps (I can't remember wich) I even rebooted my PC....
Now, everything works immediately...
So ROM Manager etc. works well, I have SuperUser... etc .
Good luck!

Just because it says it is 4.0.3 doesn't mean its pure AOSP. Remember that the China gov has its hands into a lot and there are things that they like to install on their devices to monitor the users and then close it up so it can't be changed.

I tryed many ways trying to root my tablet, even unlockroot.exe
I found SuperOneClickv2.3.3 and it found my tablet right off, it said my tablet looks rooted( but I knew it was not) so I let it do the root process, it installed superuser also

Hello,
So SuperOneClick did work for you?
What kind of tablet do you have?
What version of Android was it running when you used SuperOneClick?
Thank you,

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>adb backup -apk -shared -all -f /backup/mybackup.ab
adb: unable to connect for backup
So it sees the device but I can't backup?
[edit]Now I connect to the device, the 'adb reboot' command works and the device responds. it's just the backup command that is not working.
Please help

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>

Hello,
So SuperOneClick did work for you?
What kind of tablet do you have?
What version of Android was it running when you used SuperOneClick?
Thank you,

The thing is I don't have access on my tablet. It won't boot.
So I can't start an app from the tablet, or maybe I can?

[Q] T02A internal memory says 0, no install

ok so this is my first post, ive been messing with android for a year now, first rooted about 2 months after i got my first phone(verizon lg vortex which is also screwed up(boots up but doesnt go past the verizon logo after the lg logo) anyways i thought id save money ordering a "non-branded" tablet Model: T02A (It is the same as EKEN T02 i think)
7`capacitive touch screen 800x480
4GB NAND FLASH
512 MB RAM DDR3
ARMv7 A10 Cortex A8 1Ghz
0.3 mpx front camera
Kernel 3.0.8+
OS - ICS 4.0.3
but after installing titanium backup i simply used the reboot the device option, come to find out it basically factory reset itself and now shows 0 in the internal memory but 37.7MB of apps, it wont let me install apps and there is no way i can find to direct it to install in another location, i can download apps from anywhere but the market but no install, is there anything i can do to get the int. mem. back or somehow flash the original os? ps i have aalready tried hard resetting both with vol down and power and the settings>backup&reset>factory data reset>reset tablet.
as it is i can use it as basically a video screen with stuff on my sd and surfing the net, but i bought it with a bit more in mind. if anyone can PLEASE help i would appreciate it, and im sorry if this post is a bit long...

Dear Friends,
I am a newbie to android.I also faced the same issue after rooting my T02A tab(Telmoco tab,a Indian company but Chinese re-branded device).
I bought it for my wife and did some experiments with it(rooting).Later its automatically doing factory reset in every booting.Also every time I need to login to play store after turning off the device.So she is very upset with the tab as I bricked it.So I did lot of research to bring it up as you guys are trying.After googling I found a support website of EKEN tab (eken.com/support/) and downloaded firmware for T02A and a livesuit(firmware update utility) from another website.
First download both links from below mentioned websites.
Please note that I am not an expert so what ever you are doing please do it on your own risk.
Also these steps and all I found from diffferent google searches so I won't be able to help you if you ask me any questions.
I am happy to answer but no idea about it..
Lets start
Firmware link from eken site for T02A is f t p://202.105.131.8/t02.rar
Livesuit link whatisandroid.me/LiveSuitPack_v1.07.zip
Extract livesuit rar file to a folder and run LiveSuitPack_v1.07.exe and it will extract all the contents to same folder.
extract the t02a.rar(downloaded firmware)and yo will get the following file "sun4i_crane_t02a.img" .Later we need it for firmware update.
Run "LiveSuit.exe" inside the livesuit folder(run as admin)
Now the livesuit user wizard will popup.
If the popup didn't came automatically then choose "wizard upgrade" manually
I prefer you to use the upgrade guide.
so press yes
Choose Mandatory upgrade mode as it is recommended
It will tell you to remove all connected usb devices from your PC as it may interrupt your process.
also remove the power source from the Tablet.
press next
then select yes for to select image file
choose the "sun4i_crane_t02a.img" (extracted firmware file)
The livesuit will tell you to power off the tablet by pressing power button for 10 seconds.
once the device is off press and hold any button except power button .
Then connect the tablet to the computer using your usb cable.
press power button 10 times quickly.
The device will now go to recovery mode(If I am correct)
Then the usb will try to find the driver automatically for upgrade(I am using windows 7 so it found driver automatically)
Then it will update the firmware if you are lucky.....
Sorry for my bad english.....
Fix From Another Post
I found a solution, hopefully this can help someone in the future
The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.
To fix it :
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full. If you cant install the terminal use Uniflashv2 (open uniflashv2 and connect your device with the debug usb on, go to rom modding, then file manager)
2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"
3. power off then power on (reboot)
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal
jeewa19 posted this fix, and it helped/ was my exact problem. I hope this helps others as well :cyclops:

iBerry Auxus CoreX2 3G / CoreX4 3G Root/Guide

Anyone got this tab yet? I received my Auxus CoreX2 couple of days back. Trying to find ways to root the device. Currently stuck at finding USB drivers for the tab. When you connect the Tab to PC, it allows mounting storage as USB drive (which means no ADB access). If anyone has any inputs on things I should try, please share.
Update: Root successful. Apologies for the delay, but the tutorial is coming very soon. Stay tuned.
Update 2: Tutorial will go live on 1st February by the end of the day. In the meanwhile another rooting method posted by someone else seems to be working on both CoreX2 as well as CoreX4
Update 3: Firmware update instructions added
Update 4: Firmware update instructions for CoreX4 added
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rooting Options:
Method 1: Courtesy user @Kudremukh. It seems to be working on CoreX4 as well (CoreX2 is confirmed).
Finally I am able to root my Auxus Core X2 3G Tab. For this I first checked the chipset details of tab. I found It is Rock Chip. After searching on net I found 2 links on the web on rooting rockchip based tab rooting
1. forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=84374.0
2. tabletrepublic.com/forum/teclast-a10-dual-core/how-root-teclast-a10-dual-core-2491.html
Please check this out
Procedure of rooting:-
1. go to first link and download the App ( it is a chinees app) mentioned in the link
2. Enable USB debug mode on your tab
3. Lauch the application you just downloaded and connect tab to pc
4. if your device not recognised when connected to PC, then you download and install "chinees android manager" application from the second link.
5. If your device recognised then click on " ROOT" button ( actually it is not button, it is a link with chinees language). You can see the image in the second link.
6. Thats it YOUR DEVICE IS NOW ROOTED.
7. In my case I tried twice the same procedure to get root acces.
8. sorry I forgot to mention that, after process is over a Supervu icon will be created in your tab.
9. click it and get access
10. I am not very fluent in english. So if there is any problems in my writing, please excuse

Method 2: Rooting using ADB
Posted by user skv_vlr_mech
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37410666
This is almost the same method I used for rooting. I can confirm that this will work 100%.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Instructions to update firmware on CoreX2 3G (Tested on Windows 7, not working on Windows 8)
1. Switch-off the tablet and make sure the tablet sufficiently charged (I would suggest 50% charge as minimum)
2. Connect the USB cable to tablet (But don't connect it to PC)
3. Press and hold the HOME button (triangular) on the tablet and simultaneously connect the other end of USB cable to PC.
4. Your PC will show "Found new hardware" and it will search for driver. Drivers are located in the folder "Drivers". Let windows search for drivers in the "Drivers" folder and allow it is install drivers even if it complains about the drivers not being digitally signed.
5. If you don't get "new hardware" notification on your PC, try the following:
a. Shutdown the tablet by pressing and holding power button for 10 seconds.
b. Connect the USB cable to PC (don't connect the other end of the cable to tablet yet).
c. Press and Hold the Home button on tablet and simultaneously insert cable in the tablet.
d. You should now see "new hardware found" wizard on Windows.
4. Open the file "CoreX2-3G-Tool.exe". If the drivers were successfully installed, a green box will appear under "Connected Devices". If no green box comes up, restart your PC and follow the entire procedure to install drivers again.
6. Click "Upgrade" button and the process will start automatically.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT press Cancel or Disconnect the Tablet from PC during the upgrade process as it will render your tablet un-bootable and useless.

Solution to CoreX4 stuck in boot-loop (courtesy: ajayap.hk)
Hello,
In your update 4 on first post, I noticed you have provide a quote as to how to correct if things go wrong. I request you to kindly add a line about how to turn the tab off.
I did the following,
1. Tried by inserting the sd card with the stock firmware and then pressing the hidden button b/w the sd card and sim card slots and the power and volume down ("V-") button simultaneously prompting it to re-install my firmware.
2. This was the only way by which I could re-install as you cant switch off this tab when its stuck in boot loop.

My Dad just bought a AUXUS CoreX4 3G. Am waiting eagerly to root it and also wanted to install JB. I see some other devices of iBerry have JB installed on them but this one has ICS. Also this device CoreX4 3G is having problems with the Phone/Mobile part of it. The calls are not audible when on speaker mode even on full volume. and if we donot switch on the Data access over mobile network, strangely it doesnot connect to the mobile network.
Hoping if i Install a JB of some custom rom it will help improve the touch sensitivity and mobile network access control.

Amazing, Thank you dude. I am able to root my corex4 with this method. Now I am waiting for any custom JB rom to flash.
Latest firmware
Iberry has uploaded firmware on their website, but when i check from my tab for update in settings it shows you have latest firmware. Is there any change or patch in firmware they uploaded in website or just the same copy.

It is CoreX4 right? I am going to try this method and I want to make sure it is not a spelling mistake.
BTW, I am having a strange problem with the tablet. If charging is being done, regardless of how, the screen behaves very strangely. It registers touch input at random places automatically. I tried the charger included with the tablet, usb power charging, usb system charging. All behave in the same manner. This only happens when you have the tablet flatly grounded on a surface. If you lift the tablet in your hands, the problem goes away.
Can somebody confirm? I want to know that is this an issue with only my tablet or is a problem found across the board.
Update:
I called iBerry customer care and the guy on the phone confirmed that this is indeed a problem plagueing these tablets. He was giving me all kind of lame reasons, like "the battery is huge, it needs more power", "it might be happening because of voltage fluctuations", "it has ips screen, so power surges while charging can cause the issue". I have a iPad2 too so I quelled all his excuses.
So it seems this issue is a known issue with the tablet. The only way to use your tablet while charging is to keep it in your hands. Otherwise the performance of the tablet is quite impressive.
Happy to know
FIRST SWITCH OFF AND ON YOUR DEVICE AND PLUG IN YOUR CHARGER TO electric socket and 2nd insert the charger pin into your female charging port on your tablet and check it it will slove your malfunction .

i used this to root my hp slate 7 tab.....should work for you my friend but at your own risk....after using this i used unlockroot tool just to remove the chinese root app and install super su....hope this helps....
While searching for a method to root the JB build for the yarvik tablet of my family (usual methods have not been successful), i stumbled upon the following Windows based method that now i want to share and should work with a lot more devices:
On your PC:
1. Install USB/ADB drivers from your manufacturer's website
2. Install & connect via http://www.moborobo.com Management Tools, loads own device specific ADB-drivers
3. Download & install this Chinese piece of software from http://www.shuame.com/
In case you don't understand what you do:
- On Website press blue download-button with arrow pointing downwards
- During Installation uncheck every checkbox except the one that grays out the next-button upon unchecking
the download has been a bit slow for me (10kb/sec), if it fails or the take it offline: drop a comment, perhaps i can share the setup file somehow
4. On your device: turn on USB-debugging
On your PC:
5. Run Moborobo Software, then plug your device to USB-Port, wait until Moborobo has recognized it (in my case i had to click some dialogues...)
6. Run freshly installed software from Shuame.com (titled Ë¢»ú¾«Áé in my start menu)
7. When shuame-Logo appears on your device's screen, head on the windows-software towards the 4th icon in the top row; on the appearing screen click on the 4th icon in the 2nd icon-row (the android with some chinese signs + ROOT as title)
on your device:
8. download SuperUser (or superSU) from Market or install via other sources (if not already done)
9. replace asian root / su files (recognized as older versions) with newer ones by SuperUser or superSU
10. delete 2 chinese shuame-APKs from /system/apps directory or uninstall via Titanium Backup
11. => you're done.
if more than 10 People complain they can't find the right button's to click
then i'm willing to post a few screenshots...
else: have fun!
oh, and if this worked for you: drop a comment and let the others know!
thank you

[FIX] 'It is impossible to start ADB' or 'Phone not revealed' error in MTKDROID Tools

Many have faced this problem while using a new phone (Lollipop, Marshmallow and later) with MTKDroid Tools.
Here is the issue - MTKDROID ships with an older version of ADB. (The program hasn't been updated for a few years but it still works.)
This ADB cannot recognize the newer phones. So the obvious solution is to replace the older adb.exe from the 'adb' folder of MTKDroid Tools. But MTKDroid recognizes this and refuses to start, showing us the 'It is impossible to start ADB' error.
I have made a workaround which starts MTKDroid with the older adb and immediately when it finds everything to be OK, replaces it with a newer one. It worked for me. So I hope it will for you too.
Download the zip in attachment.
Instructions.
Goto your MTKDroid/adb folder and delete everything in it.
Open the zip file you have downloaded with winrar or 7zip or anything.
Inside the zip file, there will be 8 files. Copy all these files to the adb folder.
Now you can double click StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat and press enter to start MTKDroid Tools. A few black console windows will come and ask you to wait 10 seconds (this is to make sure MTKDroid is loaded completely), wait and don't worry it will close itself when the work is done.
There you go problem fixed and MTKDroid is ready for your command!
NOTE: This fix will help you to start MTKDroidTools and use it to create a scatter file for flashing and backup purposes with SPFlash tool. From what I learned, you can't use this to root your phone unless you enable the temporary root shell from Engineering Mode.
To do that, open your phone dialer, dial *#*#3646633#*#* .
Swipe left to reach Log and Debugging section, there select user2root, in it enable root shell and now connect your phone using the above method.
This method is not guaranteed to work on every phones out there and I still recommend flashing SuperSU the old fashioned way.
Please reply back with any of your troubles or suggestions.

Thanks so much, Adithya! This was a life-saver. I had spent over a day trying to get MTKDroidTools to work and only now found your post!
I have a new Nook tablet (BNTV450). This runs Marshmallow and the adb v31 included with MTKDroidTools 2.5.0 could not connect with it, as you reported. (BTW, I'm using 2.5.0 because 2.5.1-2.5.3 have a malware built in. androidmtk.com says not to worry about the malware (!) but my anti-virus reports it as w32.malware.heur which is quite serious. Anyway, these later versions of MTKDroidTools also use adb v31.)
I did need to make one small change due to a race condition: I added a 2 second delay between the call to run startup.bat and the call to run MTKDroidTools. So this section of StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat now reads:
start Startup.bat
timeout 2
cd..
start MTKdroidTools.exe
Without this on my Windows 10 PC, MTKDroidTools starts too quickly and picks up the newer version of adb even though startup.bat had just replaced it. The 2 second delay allows MTKDroidTools to find the old version reliably.
So thanks again for this! Really helpful!
Best,
Dennis

(BTW, I'm using 2.5.0 because 2.5.1-2.5.3 have a malware built in. androidmtk.com says not to worry about the malware (!) but my anti-virus reports it as w32.malware.heur which is quite serious. Anyway, these later versions of MTKDroidTools also use adb v31.)
I did need to make one small change due to a race condition: I added a 2 second delay between the call to run startup.bat and the call to run MTKDroidTools. So this section of StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat now reads:
start Startup.bat
timeout 2
cd..
start MTKdroidTools.exe
Without this on my Windows 10 PC, MTKDroidTools starts too quickly and picks up the newer version of adb even though startup.bat had just replaced it. The 2 second delay allows MTKDroidTools to find the old version reliably.
So thanks again for this! Really helpful!
Best,
Dennis

You're welcome.
I have included the changes you suggested.
Also I found this on stackoverflow which might help on w32.mal.heur detections.
W32 is the platform: Windows 32
Malware is the Category
Heur (Heuristic) might refer to what usually is the family or might be some specific naming of your AV
The heuristic term usually refers to detections based on generic signatures which look suspicious.
That detection looks very generic and might be a false positive.

Since the nature of the tool is indeed a hack itself your AV might be showing a false positive.
Still it's all up to you to decide.
All the very best.
Post updated.
Added a 2 sec delay to call MTKDroidTools. (Thanks @DMcRitchie)
Added a guide on rooting.
This doesn't work for me. I used to Only get the phone not recognized error now, after copying over the 8 new files to my now empty ADB folder, I get the error that says Impossible to start ADB.
I'm using a Figo Atrium upgraded from Lollipop to Mashmallow using the SP Flash Tool. All I'm trying to do now it root the device, I don't need a custom rom. Using MTK Droid Tools version 2.5.3
Edit: Fixed it. I had to turn off then back on UBS Debugging, simply revoking the USB did not work. It's seeing my device now but says it can't root my device and sends me to an html page with lots more instructions. The tool tells me my device can be rooted this way. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 Grrr.. time to spend days jumping through more hoops.

So this didn't fix it, just made it worse. Is there another way to fix? I'm using a Figo Atrium upgraded from Lollipop to Mashmallow using the SP Flash Tool. All I'm trying to do now it root the device, I don't need a custom rom. Using MTK Droid Tools version 2.5.3

This was supposed to fix the 'impossible to start error'. You shouldn't have used it if you were not facing that issue.
Don't worry you can just redownload MTK Droid Tools to fix that.
As for rooting, MTK Droid Tools CAN NOT ROOT phones newer than kitkat. Your best bet is to flash a custom recovery and flashing super su.
This guide is for those people who can't use SP Flash Tools because they need a scatter file which MTK Droid Tools can't make for newer androids.
All the best.
Thanks.
You gave me the most detailed answer so far. I got the info to use MTK Droid Tools from a website claiming it will work for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. That's why I tried it. If you are very knowledgeable about rooting in general, perhaps you'll answer my other thread asking someone to help me understand these things better. it seems according to you, i would be able to flash a new rom and SuperSU? See my other post and answer there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/guru-to-discuss-rooting-t3683594 - I did try the folks at the SuperSU sub forum and they cant help me.
When i connect Infinix Note 4 Pro X571 (bricked) to pc for Mtk to detect, it just boots to recovery mode (twrp)
tried using Maui Meta, it automatically installed vcom drivers then it said "it cannot find Kernal USB comport for AP and Modem handshake. Please check the usb driver version or find the driver owner to check"
thank you so much!! it works
I Get This Only :/ What's wrong? Noob Mistake?

I have the same issue. I just want to backup some stuff.

Hi
Great fix but I still have a problem, I only have the hardware and baseband detected nothing else, so I can not save.
An idea ?
Thanks
