The following post is just a TESTED collection of tools and procedures that were found over at XDA forum or elsewhere on the Internet.
I do not take any credit for all those nice scripts and manuals - I just put them together for the young community of IdeaPad A2107A owners.
Below you will find methods of getting root and Clockwork Mod Recovery v 6.0.1.5 on IdeaPad A2107A (I own the -H version with dual SIM and ca. 4 GB of internal memory).
All processes were tested by me and are working well but obviously you are responsible for your actions.
My device runs on ICS 4.0.3, compilation A2107A-H_S341 and has a couple of European languages (tablet bought in Poland).
What you need is installed ADB drivers so the PC can "talk" to you tablet. You will find a lot of guides on the net - just make sure Windows device manager shows Android Device - Android ADB Interface or something close to that.
I also advise to enable USB debugging and allow installing applications from unknown sources - all in your tablet's settings.
Once you make sure you have done the above you're good to go.
So let's go!
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5o7dm16d430lwal (un7zip) and read as follows:
1 - Root
The method I chose is for patient people - the device will reboot 3 times during this process.
a) connect your tablet to the PC, open "1 - 4.03root" folder and run "root.bat"
b) just after you run the .bat the device will reboot and in the command prompt you will see "Press any key to continue . . ." - WAIT until the tablet boots up completely. When you see the lockcreen THEN hit a key in the command prompt.
c) the above will happen 2 more times - always WAIT for the tablet to boot completely.
This process will install Superuser and RootExplorer so find those apps and see if the root works.
2 - Backup the whole ROM that is on your device - will be useful with making the CWM recovery.img file.
For this you will need ca. 2GB of memory so I advise at least 4GB sdcard.
I also advise to go to the settings and in the memory tab set the "Default write disk" to "SD storage" - this makes the microSD the primary "sdcard" - makes things easier with backups etc.
ALSO in the settings set the screen to stay on for at least 10 minutes - this is how long it will take to do the full ROM dump - important to keep the script alive.
To avoid any issues turn the flight mode on so no new "data" is received by the device.
Once you're done open "2 - Backup" folder from my 7zip and copy the "gscript" folder to the root of your sdcard. Now install "GScriptLite.apk" and run it (needs root access!).
In the app hit the menu button and pick "Add Script" ->"Need SU?" must be checked -> "Load file" -> select "back_mt6575_a4_v2c.sh" -> save and click the script.
As I said - wait ca 10 minutes for the scrip to finish. Now you will have a nice backup in the SD - look for "backup_v2" folder - copy it to your PC.
3 -Mobileuncle - it's in the Google Play Store but you won't find it with our tablet - supposedly incompatible. Bull*hit!
Open "3 - Mobileuncle" folder, copy the apk to your device and install. We will come back to this later.
4 - How about the CWM? Yes!
Open "4 - CWM 6015" - you will find a PDF there - read the instructions. The subfolder "michfood" contanis all the scripts you need so you don't have to download anything else.
ATTENTION - the "recovery.img" used in this process is YOUR "recovery.img" that you dumped in step 2. So find your backup from step 2 and the original "recovery.img" from your ROM.
ATTENTION - our device is MT6575 so you pick nr 1 in the command prompt.
5 - Once you have the new "recovery.img" with CWM (it is actually smaller than the original file) copy it to the root of your sdcard.
Now open the Mobileuncle Tools you installed in step 3 and hit "Recovery Update".
There, at the very top of the screen you will see your new CWM recovery file - hit it and then confirm the update. It takes a second!
Now you will be asked to boot into recovery mode - go ahead, try it
If the tablet booted in CWM then you are all set!
REMEMBER - to go into the recovery mode while the device is OFF you need to:
1 - hold the power button for ca 3 seconds
2 - let it go and in the same moment press BOTH Vol + and Vol - buttons.
REMEMBER 2 - the CWM 6.0.1.5 makes backups in a bit different way than the old CWM - read here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846446
It also appears that the key to modding our tablet is the MT6575 processor - a lot of tools just need to support this processor, the device itself is not so important.
All the best.
Mike.

------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 1 ---------------------------------------------------------
For those who are running the same compilation as I am (A2107A-H_S341):
- you can download my recovery file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?um372gh6ayf6t6w
To use it you need to do:
1 - Root
(optional backup with GScriptLite.apk)
2 - flash the recovery file with Mobileuncle
Be careful and make sure you have a backup if you want to try this file with another compilation.
Cheers.
------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 2 ---------------------------------------------------------
Tested (by user: manwithmanypiercings) USB drivers are in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34651039&postcount=51
------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 3 ---------------------------------------------------------
I think there is even easier way than the one I originally posted above.
BUT I cannot be sure that it will work with all of you - the reason is that I made so many changes to my A2107A-H that I do not know whether this method works "just because it's universal" or because my tablet was tweaked far enough.
On the other hand when you consider it reasonably it looks like it's quite simple and there is no particular reason why it shouldn't work with a stock A2107A.
So...
What you need:
1 - this package: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fbuzi5xjofs7vgf
2 - PC running Windows 7 would be the best (7 gave me no problems at all - takes 1 minute to do it). I made it on Windows 8 as well but there is a lot more fuss to install the proper driver.
What you do:
1 - turn on USB Debugging on your tablet
2 - connect the tablet to your PC (if it's the 1st, some default drivers will install - that's ok)
3 - tap on the notifications area in the "Connect as" change to "MTP" - this is quite important !
4 - from the downloaded package run the "Flash_tool.exe"
- click "Scatter-loading" on the right and find "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"
- in the list in the lower part of the window you MUST have the "PRELOADER" (super important) and "RECOVERY" ticked and leading to the correct files. The PRELOADER = "preloader_lenovo75_a2_ics.bin" (in the package) and the RECOVERY is the recovery file of your choice -> there are 3 in the package - pick the one you want. You can flash them over and over so if you don't like one then try the other.
5 - click "Download" above - you will see a prompt saying that not all images were loaded - that is fine - we only want to flash the RECOVERY - so click "Yes"
6 - now the Flash tool is waiting for the tablet - press "reset" on the back - Windows will recognize a new device (and WILL NOT find the driver unless you have done it before) - no worries, you have the correct driver.
7 - open Windows "Device manager" and locate the MT65..... unrecognised device -> update / install driver -> point Windows to "USB VCOM Driver" folder from the package and pick your system. My Windows 7 found the driver on the spot but asked to confirm the install - "insecure" driver - I obviously clicked "install anyway" and so should you.
8 - once the driver is loaded the Flash tool will flash the new recovery file - you will see some colour progress bars in the program - at the end you should see a green circle.
That is it. Unplug the tablet, press reset on the back and you can now enter the recovery mode.
FUN FACT: the "reset" button on the back is not really a reset button, it's more like physical cut off button to temporarily disconnect the battery.
I have the Lenovo A2107A under Vodafone's brand Vodafone Smart Tab II 7
It has Android version 4.0.4 and compilation: A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA
Imanaged to root it and install CWM using this thread. But somehow I was not able to create the CWM modded recovery.img
I used the one provided here and it worked fine.
Thanks for this.
I can't connect tablet to PC

Hi there,
Try those drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?vx2hyv7dpwlmeyy
They come from the current Android SDK but I am running a 64 bit system and I'm not sure if those drivers will work with 32 bit systems.
Fingers crossed!
I tried with yor recommend dirvers and with a lot of others and doesn't work. I have to unrecognised denices in Device Manager - A2107A-H and MTP.
I am very upset about Lenovo because their support doesn't exist.

First of all, a ton of thanx to csns for posting this detailed procedure along with all required scripts and tools...
I have just one question...Which Modified ROM did you install as I see you have unlocked calling feature in the video you posted???
I asked because the MOD ROM by pemergency in the other thread is for the 16 GB and creates some issues in the device...But your's is 4 GB, as is mine...
Thanx in advance

I'm glad you find my post useful.
As for the calling feature - it's not actually working
You see, to have the calling app (in other words "the phone" app) in the app drawer all you need to do is change one tiny value in framework-res.apk.
This value is telling the system weather the whole device is supposed to handle voice calls or not. I just tricked the system to make the Phone.apk visible but there is a lot more do be done in order to make a real call over the cellular network.
I've just had this tablet for a week and I didn't have much time to dig into this topic. Let's see what the weekend brings
Be patient, I think it's just a matter of time when someone posts a user friendly guide... Or search yourself and share what you find with the community.
Take care.

Hi csns,
Sorry to bother you but when I try drag and drop my original "recovery.img" to "cwmr 6015.bat" in the "michfood" folder, I get a warning message "System cannot find the specified file "C:\users\....\recovery.img" "recovery" and the bat script exits...I have tried the following:-
1. Copy the folder and file "michfood" and my original "recovery.img" file in all possible alternate locations of my PC including desktop as shown in the pdf tutorial in "michfood" folder.
2. The permissions for both folders is "Full Control" for all users.
3. Files not hdden or protected.
4. Also turned off my antivirus and firewall.
No luck....Please help !!! Thanx in advance

Well, this happened to me once and I think the reason was that the path was too long - I guess it may have something to do with the fact that the .bat is a simple "program" and can have some problems with handling long paths.. specially with "national" character in them.
Try finding a location as close to the root of the drive as possible, and make sure you have full R/W access. Or try with a pendrive for example.
Since you made a backup of your ROM I think you are quite safe with using the recovery I uploaded - first post -> UPDATE 1.
They seem to fit all 2107A devices. If not I will tell you how to restore the original recovery from your backup.
You can also read UPDATE 3 I just made - your choice.
Thanx
Hello csns,
Thanx to your help, I have also got CWM recovery working on my device.
BTW I saw these two posts on a forum in Russian (I guess)...I used google translate and am pretty sure these two posts that I provide links for below have two modified ROMs with everything working, including phone and radio !!! The only draw back is that once you flash these ROMs you'll get Russian language, which can be changed to English from the language menu
I plan to fo it myself as well tomorrow,would let you know the outcome
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=286687&st=920 (go down to the post labelled "A2107_Foxtrot_v100")
and
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=286687&st=440 (go down to the post labelled "Прошивка Tasemart
MOD 1.1")
and of course you can also try the "Angeleas_Final" modified ROM also that I'll upload and provide links to tomorrow
Thanx again for all your help !!!
I also had many trouble getting the cwm bat file to work. It is very picky about its path and arguments on Win7.
I moved the michfood folder to C: and moved my own recovery.img to C:\michfood\recovery.old
cd C:\michfood
cwmr\ 6015.bat recovery.old
That worked - otherwise it wouldnt finish the cpio stuff.
Reworking that horrible script to work on linux would have probably taken less time -_-
Anyway - thanks!
Permissions problems on Windows7
Hi,

2. The permissions for both folders is "Full Control" for all users.

My solution:
It was required to use a directory not to deep in folder structures, so the best is as short as possible like "C:\michfood".
I had to add "Full Control" permissions for "everyone" to the "michfood"-directory and enable the "replicate permissions to subfolders"-option (I don't know the exact designation because I use it in german ... )
I had to delete an existing "Recovery" folder inside the "michfood"-directory from earlier attempts to create the new file and for this I had to take over the ownership of the "Recovery" folder before I was able to delete it.
The original Recovery.img must be in a different folder than "michfood". This can be on the desktop but for a shorter path it could be in the root directory.
I had success after copying "cwmr 6015.bat" to "go.bat" (it's shorter and does not contain any space in it) and calling it from command line from its directory( C:\>cd C:\michfood ) with: "go C:\Recovery.img" ( I had Recovery.img on C:\ ).

(?) Not sure as this info was only printed on sticker, but couldn't be found on website.
Hardware : MT6575
Model : GT one EX
Build number : ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.2
Build date UTC : 20120914-073612
Android v : 4.0.4
Kernel v : 3.0.13 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 Fri Sep 14 15:35:04 HKT 2012

To get to the Stock Recovery (Android System Recovery <3e>) screen: hold VolumeDown+Power 3 seconds, after you seed "Dead Robot", press Home (middle) button. (I recommend you to do the "backup user data" immediately!)
To get to the "Factory Mode" screen: hold VolumeDown+Power many seconds (just for testing your hardware)
To root your phone the only method that worked was by using MTK Droid Root & Tools 2.2.8, but not newer (docs .google. com/open?id=0BzICkEGDGbT1R3otSE9YNjZWN3M). For instruction in Russian read this: forum .china-iphone. ru/viewtopic.php?p=794732#p794732, but for English speakers:
0. Make sure all 3 drivers are installed (docs. google .com/open?id=0BzICkEGDGbT1N2R2Z1RvX0lHVXM)
1. You should get into Factory Mode first (hold VolumeDown+Power many seconds),
2. Press "Root" on your PC window of MTK Droid Root & Tools, the program will reboot your phone
3. While the phone reboots - hold VolumeDown+Power many seconds to get into Factory Mode again
4. The program MTK Droid Root & Tools will then reboot the phone again, while you repeat Step 3.
5. Now you have a temporary root, therefore press "SuperUser" button to get a permanent root for all apps that will ever need it.
6. Press "Backup" to create full backup and share in this forum!
7. Press "To prepare blocks for FlashTool" (a tool to restore IMG images of your phone from your desktop)
My own fresh backup (ZIP archive of IMG files ready for SP Flashtool): docs. google. com/open?id=0BzICkEGDGbT1QjZKQnhVY2F1Znc
As the built-in ROM is too small for many apps, I recommend using Link2SD to move apps to SD card.
Please upload some more advanced Recovery (e.g. CWM Recovery or Modified Stock Recovery). Thank you!

As far as I can remember - you should use the scatter file that came with the SP Flashtool software. If this particular version of SP Flashtool doesn't work, try another. Or alternatively in the SP Flashtool dialogue try to uncheck some image files (especially red ones like PRELOADER and DSP_BL) that shouldn't be flashed.
In this folder you will find several scatter files: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzICkEGDGbT1UVIwV1JmMHRIR0U&usp=sharing
It works.

[How to/MTK65xx] ROOT, Backup & Flash (MTKDroidTools, Spflashtool, CWM) [MTK Only]
Hi
This is a guide to ROOT, backup and flash your MTK65xx or Other device (Supported devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/framaroot-supported-devices-t2722980 all credits to alephzain) written by s7yler.
More guides & reviews on my Youtubechannel http://www.Youtube.com/s7yler and http://s7yler.blogspot.com
(Tools used are Framaroot, MTKDroidtools/CWM and SpflashTool)
I will try to write this guide in step by step, so everyone can understand it. This is for PC and will work with Windows 7.
-> All is done by your own risk! this is just a guide to help people with the tools and process. <-
How to ROOT the phone first
1. Get the latest Framaroot apk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
2. Download it and install it on the phone, open the Framaroot app on the phone.
3. Let it be on Install SuperSU, and try the last method, if that dont work, then try one of the 2 others.
4. Then it should say success root, and now reboot the phone.
5. After reboot the phone should be ROOTED, download root checker from the Play store and verify that your rooted.
How to make a simple backup (not completly 1:1) of your stock ROM / MTK phone
1. You have you brand new MTK phone.
2. What I do first is to install all possible drivers. So you go to your PC and install these apps/drivers:
Snappea - http://www.snappea.com/windows
Pdanet drivers - http://pdanet.co/a/ (When it ask what device you have in the install process, just say "Other")
Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Drivers - (Install file) http://www.mediafire.com/download/cypm22rgs2k83ji/MT6577+USB+VCOM+drivers.rar and here the raw drivers http://www.magicdriver.com/driver4214-ver_1.1123.0.html
For the Preloader VCOM drivers for Windows 8 please read here, and follow this:
http://thebroodle.com/android/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers-windows-8-8-1/
3. On your MTK phone you must in "Developer Options" enable "USB debugging mode".
4. Now download MTK Droid Tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49597819&postcount=922
5. Start MTK Droid Tools, and connect your phone with the USB cable to the PC. (if Windows install some drivers, then let it install them automatically).
6. Now on the first page of MTK Droid Tools, it should display all infos about the phone when you connect it.
7. If the sqare is Green, then you have root shell and ready, if its not green, press the ROOT button to the right in MTK Droid tools.
8. Click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button and then Backup to backup your IMEI/NVRAM, the backup files will be inside of the MTK Droid Tools folder.
Also you can manually write down your IMEI number just in case it should be lost.
9. Now go to the tap "root, backup, recovery" (in MTK Droid Tools).
10. Click the Backup button, and it will create a complete backup of your ROM. (in the end it will ask, if you want to pack it, just answer no)
11. When it is finished then also click "To prepare blocks for FlashTool", that will convert the backup to be compatible with Spflashtool. (choose the files.md5 inside the backup folder)
12. After the backup is done it will be inside "backup" in the MTK Droid Tools folder. And inside it there will also be a new folder called "!Files_to_FlashTool" Inside there the files for Spflashtool is. So when loading your backup with Spflashtool you must load the scatter file from inside there.
13. Now to install CWM (clockworkmod recovery) In MTK Droidtools, choose "To use boot from phone" and click the "Recovery and Boot" button. It will ask you a lot, just say yes every time, and it will end of sending CWM recovery to the phone and reboot into it on the phone. After you see CWM on the phone you know it is done. You can switch the menu with the volume keys, and the power is the select button.
14. Inside CWM you can also do a complete backup of your phone (remember to have enough space, you can do the backup to the internal storage OR to the SDcard - try "backup" if that fails then choose instead "backup to external sd" or vice versa). I recommed doing that because CWM makes another backup than the one made with MTK Droid Tools. So if you should get problems or loose something, you can always run your CWM backup into your phone and it will be as before.
15. After your done the backup, copy the backup also to a safe place on your PC. Just in case!
16. So now your Rooted, have installed CWM recovery, have a IMEI/NVRAM backup and a backup for Spflash Tools plus CWM backup.
To make a 100% FULL 1:1 (more advanced) ReadBack ROM backup using SP FlashTool please check these guides here, and learn how to:
http://mmx-unite2.blogspot.de/2014/08/how-to-create-readback-backup.html

or here:
http://pinoyscreencast.net/how-to/g...-smartphones-using-spft-mtk-droid-root-tools/
To flash a backup or ROM with Spflashtool:
Disclaimer: Don't flash another preloader and DSP_BL blocks! It is always dangerous! On some models of phones you will have a brick even if you download these blocks read from phone which you own! Always remove from them marks in SPFT! ALWAYS have a working backup of your original ROM before you flash a new unknown ROM. I take no responsibility for any harm done while attempting this!
1. Go download Spflash tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982576
Both version 3 or 5 should be good to use. If your having problems with one of them or they crash, try this newer version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650125
2. Disconnect your phone if connected with USB to the PC, and turn OFF the phone completely, also take out the battery if possible (but can also work with the battery inside the phone, for phones with builtin battery).
2. When you now again connect the USB cable to the phone with the PC while the phone is still off, Windows should popup and beginn to install the MTK65XX Preloader Drivers, this only happens if you installed the Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Drivers correct in Windows. After they successfully installed, disconnect the USB cable again.
2. Start Flash_tool.exe to start the program
3. Now hit the "Scatter-loading" button, and go to the backup or ROM, inside the folder "!Flash files Spflashtool" load the scatter.txt file. (ALWAYS only load a ROM that is 100% made for your phone, flashing a wrong ROM may make your phone non-bootable)
4. When the scatter file is loaded, it will show all the content in the Spflashtool window.
5. If you only need for example to flash the EBR files, you can deselect all the others. But remember that it must be same ROM or backup.
6. Hit the "Download" button in Spflashtool. Then there should be some pink lines with colors showing that it loads the files.
7. When it stopps to flash/load, connect your phone with the USB cable, remember the phone must be OFF (and without the battery inside if possible to remove). If nothing happens then maybe it is necessary to press at the same time with connect of a cable the camera or volume buttons. For example, hold the volume up button down, insert the USB cable, and then insert the battery (still holding the volume up button down) when you hear it connect in Windows and the colored lines begins to move, let go off the volume up button.
8. Now it should connect (maybe Windows install some drivers by now - the MTK65xx Preloader drivers) and it will in the end continue to flash in Spflashtool when the phone is found and connected. (If you get PMT has changed error, you need to change in SP Flash Tool from "Download Only" to "Firmware Upgrade" but you will need a backup that contains ALL files then including the cache and usrdata files, or it will not allow to flash. Also the phone will be formatted first with Firmware Upgrade, and then flashed.)
9. Now wait while it flashes all files, when it is done, a window will popup white a Green circle. Now you can disconnect the cable, close Splflashtool and reboot the phone. The phone should now boot up with the new ROM.
10. A good thing can be to do a full factory reset after your booted or do it in CWM, to clear all caches. But not necessary.
To enter Recovery or Download mode - turn phone completly off then
Download mode = vol up + pwr (hold both down for several seconds)
Recovery = vol down + pwr (hold both down for several seconds)

Hey sorry, I changed my text now. The ROOT part is not only for MTK phones, also other devices. Here is alephzains list of supported devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/framaroot-supported-devices-t2722980
You also may try it on others, the worst there can happen is that it just says root failed, and not rooting the device. But then you at least have tried.

In Spflash tool load the scatter file from the backup or ROM directory where you also have all files including the modded EBR files, when loaded it will show all the content to flash, every line has a checkmark in front, uncheck everything but the EBR1 and EBR2. And then flash as I write in the guide. That way it will only flash the EBR1 and 2 to the phone.
Hope i can get this right

So you did install all the drivers I write about in my guide, and rebooted? Normally Spflash tool should recognize the phone after that. (and set the USB debugging mode to on?)

Hi!
For the last few days I was trying to find the right ROM for me. So I had to learn about MTK Tools and SP Flash tool and I even succeeded with loading different ROMs. What I did not succeed is to restore the original backup made with MTK tools. I followed the tutorial from the first post, the flashing operation ended OK but my smartphone (THL w200s) just wouldn't start. As a matter of fact it starts the beginning but after it passes the animated log it stops. I did not flash the CWM recovery on my device before creating the backup as I wanted to save a snapshot of the original ROM as it was from the factory. More than this, I installed a fresh ROM (I guess it was exactly the same with the default one), everything was OK, I rooted and made my settings (configure emails, etc.) and I made a backup with MTK tools. I had the same issue: I restored the backup with SP Flash Tools, flashing was OK but after that the phone would not start.
What am I doing wrong?

How to make a simple backup of your stock ROM / MTK phone
1. You have you brand new MTK phone.
2. What I do first is to install all possible drivers. So you go to your PC and install these apps/drivers:
Snappea - http://www.snappea.com/windows
Pdanet drivers - http://pdanet.co/a/ (When it ask what device you have in the install process, just say "Other")
Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Drivers - (Install file) http://www.mediafire.com/download/cypm22rgs2k83ji/MT6577+USB+VCOM+drivers.rar and here the raw drivers http://www.magicdriver.com/driver4214-ver_1.1123.0.html
3. On your MTK phone you must in "Developer Options" enable "USB debugging mode".
4. Now download MTK Droid Tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49597819&postcount=922
5. Start MTK Droid Tools, and connect your phone with the USB cable to the PC. (if Windows install some drivers, then let it install them automatically).
6. Now on the first page of MTK Droid Tools, it should display all infos about the phone when you connect it.
7. If the sqare is Green, then you have root shell and ready, if its not green, press the ROOT button to the right in MTK Droid tools.
8. Click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button and then Backup to backup your IMEI/NVRAM, the backup files will be inside of the MTK Droid Tools folder.
Also you can manually write down your IMEI number just in case it should be lost.
9. Now go to the tap "root, backup, recovery" (in MTK Droid Tools).
10. Click the Backup button, and it will create a complete backup of your ROM. (in the end it will ask, if you want to pack it, just answer no)
11. When it is finished then also click "To prepare blocks for FlashTool", that will convert the backup to be compatible with Spflashtool. (choose the files.md5 inside the backup folder)
12. After the backup is done it will be inside "backup" in the MTK Droid Tools folder. And inside it there will also be a new folder called "!Files_to_FlashTool" Inside there the files for Spflashtool is. So when loading your backup with Spflashtool you must load the scatter file from inside there.
13. Now to install CWM (clockworkmod recovery) In MTK Droidtools, choose "To use boot from phone" and click the "Recovery and Boot" button. It will ask you a lot, just say yes every time, and it will end of sending CWM recovery to the phone and reboot into it on the phone. After you see CWM on the phone you know it is done. You can switch the menu with the volume keys, and the power is the select button.
14. Inside CWM you can also do a complete backup of your phone (remember to have enough space, you can do the backup to the internal storage OR to the SDcard - try "backup" if that fails then choose instead "backup to external sd" or vice versa). I recommed doing that because CWM makes another backup than the one made with MTK Droid Tools. So if you should get problems or loose something, you can always run your CWM backup into your phone and it will be as before.
15. After your done the backup, copy the backup also to a safe place on your PC. Just in case!
16. So now your Rooted, have installed CWM recovery, have a IMEI/NVRAM backup and a backup for Spflash Tools plus CWM backup.

To flash a backup or ROM with Spflashtool:
Never needlessly Download preloader and DSP_BL blocks! It is always dangerous! On some models of phones you will have a brick even if you download these blocks read from phone which you own! Always remove from them marks in SPFT! ALWAYS have a working backup of your original ROM before you flash a new unknown ROM.
1. Go download Spflash tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982576
Both version 3 or 5 should be good to use. If your having problems with one of them, try another version.
2. Disconnect your phone if connected with USB to the PC, and turn OFF the phone completely, also take out the battery if possible (but can also work with the battery inside the phone, for phones with builtin battery).
2. When you now again connect the USB cable to the phone with the PC while the phone is still off, Windows should popup and beginn to install the MTK65XX Preloader Drivers, this only happens if you installed the Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Drivers correct in Windows. After they successfully installed, disconnect the USB cable again.
2. Start Flash_tool.exe to start the program
3. Now hit the "Scatter-loading" button, and go to the backup or ROM, inside the folder "!Flash files Spflashtool" load the scatter.txt file. (ALWAYS only load a ROM that is 100% made for your phone, flashing a wrong ROM may make your phone non-bootable)
4. When the scatter file is loaded, it will show all the content in the Spflashtool window.
5. If you only need for example to flash the EBR files, you can deselect all the others. But remember that it must be same ROM or backup.
6. Hit the "Download" button in Spflashtool. Then there should be some pink lines with colors showing that it loads the files.
7. When it stopps to flash/load, connect your phone with the USB cable, remember the phone must be OFF (and without the battery inside if possible to remove). If nothing happens then maybe it is necessary to press at the same time with connect of a cable the camera or volume buttons. For example, hold the volume up button down, insert the USB cable, and then insert the battery (still holding the volume up button down) when you hear it connect in Windows and the colored lines begins to move, let go off the volume up button.
8. Now it should connect (maybe Windows install some drivers by now - the MTK65xx Preloader drivers) and it will in the end continue to flash in Spflashtool when the phone is found and connected.
9. Now wait while it flashes all files, when it is done, a window will popup white a Green circle. Now you can disconnect the cable, close Splflashtool and reboot the phone. The phone should now boot up with the new ROM.
10. A good thing can be to do a full factory reset after your booted or do it in CWM, to clear all caches. But not necessary.
To enter Recovery or Download mode - turn phone completly off then
Download mode = vol up + pwr (hold both down for several seconds)
Recovery = vol down + pwr (hold both down for several seconds)

I'm receiving an error message "SU inaccessible" after hitting the ROOT icon. The phone is a No.1 S7 MTK6589.
I previously tried using the Frameroot app but it failed as well.
Any ideas what the problem might be and how to solve?
Thanks,

I have updated the Original Post with a video now, that show the whole process how to flash and use SP Flash Tool.

Very Useful Tips

Fun accident
Well here's my story.
I was trying to debrand some Huawei Y330-U05 in order to resell them. My first clue was to root the devices and remove all the Entel PCS crap, but I was unable to remove the Boot Splashscreen. So I looked over the net and I could not find a compatible ROM for my model. I downloaded a Y330-U01 ROM from Europe and I tried to flash it figuring that later I'd have to fix the 3G bands. FlashTools did not let me do that and I had the stupid idea to boot the biit.img and recovery.img from the U01 into the U05 with MTKdroidTools. Bricked the phone, and the only way to bring it back was to use the U01 ROM and flash it back. I changed my device from U05 to U01, like I wanted at first but I cant change the 3G bands and I don't have 3G connnection now.
I can't flash back the U05 backup ROMs I did from the phone before I started messing with them because the of the model mismatch (Phone now thinks it is a U01 version). And since there is no stock ROM for the U05 model to download, except for an UPDATE.APP from Movistar Mexico that phone refuses to accept, I'm afraid that if I reverse the whloe process I will end up with a bricked phone and no Stock ROM to bring it back.
Here comes the question. How do I force install a WRONG ROM into my phone? Remember: my Y330-U05 now thinks it is a Y330-U01.
Thanks a lot!

i saw your screenshot and yellow box at the bottom clearly indicates that your device has not been rooted properly. adb still exists as secure region. it is said that your device should said to be rooted properly only when your device got adb insecure. However, if your device has locked bootloader, doing so, i.e. entering or making adb insecure may lead your device to dead boot, a stage from which there are only two ways to survive from:- JTAG/RIFF box OR by replacing motherboard!!!!
However, if your bootloader is unlocked and only if your device is dev friendly, following link may help you to get green box at the bottom of MTK Droid Root Tools indicating your device has proper root access.
However, i have successfully solved this error in my panasonic p81 by making adb insecure.
Though, Do this on your own risk....Remember again, making adb insecure may make your device FAIL!!!!
Head over to following link:-

*** Use at your own risk these instructions worked for me on MY tablets that is no guarantee they will work for you ***
This is for the ProScan PLT9650G(K-1G-8G) tablet. It has the RockChip RK3126 chipset. The one I am working with was purchased in Canada at the Atlantic Superstore. I will just briefly outline what I needed and had to do to root and install a TWRP recovery on the tablet. See the attachment for the recovery image. I will explain how to get the programs and general steps to make a full backup of the tablet before ever rooting the device. It is a little difficult, and not necessary, but like any backup can be helpful to have around.
Specifications:
The ProScan tablet has:
- Android Lollipop 5.1.1;
- Quad-core Processor, 1.2Mhz;
- 1 GB of DDR3 Memory;
- 8GB Flash Storage;
- 800x480 Screen Resolution.
Backup Overview:
1) Install USB drivers;
2) Put tablet in bootloader mode;
3) Read the different partitions.
Tools Needed:
1) Rockchip Driver Assistant v4.3;
2) Android Tool v2.3.
Detailed Instructions:
This tablet is a newer version and requires at least version 4.3 of the Rockchip Driver Assistant. The older versions (4.1) won't recognize the USB product id (310D) in bootloader mode.
Download the drivers unrar and run DriverInstall.exe. Select uninstall to clean any old drivers and then select install to install the newer ones. I've done this under Windows 7/8.1/10. Since I've done it so often and so many times with different driver version, I can't remember if the bootloader drivers require you install them with the driver signing turned off or not. The problem becomes that the bootloader drivers (under Windows 8+) will fail the driver signing authentication and won't install. The ADB and MTP drivers are signed and will install correctly, but when you boot the tablet in bootloader mode the device will be unrecognized by Windows. If you end up with this problem follow these instructions and then install the drivers.
After testing on a new machine under Windows 10 the drivers install fine. There is no need to boot with driver signing verification turned off.
To put the tablet in bootloader mode follow thes instructions:
1) Unplug tablet (both power and usb);
2) Turnoff tablet;
3) Press and hold the esc and power buttons at the same time;
4) Hold until the stock recovery menu comes up;
5) Press the esc button to go down to the menu item saying bootloader;
6) Press the power button to execute that menu item.
The screen will go blank. Plug the tablet into the computer and it will be recognized as a device type "Class for rockusb devices" in the Windows Device Manager.
Download the Android Tool from the link provided. The link gives a detailed description of how to backup all the partitions. I have included my parameters.txt file that I created. From the standpoint of undoing the root operation described below I believe only the recovery and system partition needs to be saved. But saving all the partitions never hurts. After you have followed the information in the link and saved the partitions you can move on to rooting the device.
One serious warning I have NOT been able to write anything to the device using the Android Tool. It always give me an error and won't even try. The backups we create can be used from within the tablet to restore it later if needed.
Custom Recovery Overview:
1) Root device;
2) Download the image file on the tablet;
3) Flash the recovery partition with the image file.
Tools Needed:
1) KingRoot;
2) Terminal Application;
Root Device:
The device rooted using KingRoot. Startup the tablet and go through the setup process. Download the apk from the link provided. The version used in testing was 4.6.2. You will need to allow "Unknown sources". The app will eventually give a button just try to root. This will eventually work and the tablet will be rooted.
Extract the img file from within the zip file below onto the internal drive. Make sure you put it in the Download directory. If you are doing this from the tablet it should go there if you move it over using the computer make sure you put it in that directory or change the command below to the proper directory.
Install a terminal emulator. Anyone will do, the one I chose is linked above. Open the emulator and type:
Code:
su
at the prompt. KingRoot should prompt you asking if you want to grant root privilege to the command prompt. Then type the command:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/Download/TWRP_800x480_Unified.img of=/dev/block/rknand_recovery bs=4096
. That's it if you type:
Code:
reboot recovery
the tablet will reboot and TWRP should start up.
Notes:
If you saved the original system partition you can install it using TWRP and effectively unroot the device but keep the TWRP recovery. With the recovery image you can install it over the TWRP and return the tablet to its stock state. I'm giving these tablets to my kids and I wanted a way to return them to the state I bought them plus after I've personalized them for each of my kids I can make a backup in case they do something that messes them up.
This will also work for the PLT1065G but you need to use different recovery/parameters. The kernel is different (looks like a different touchscreen).
Thanks for this. Got one for $50 at Loblaws today. Will attempt rooting.
Got it for my 6 yr old
Edit: Fixed boot issue

I'm giving these tablets to my kids and I wanted a way to return them to the state I bought them plus after I've personalized them for each of my kids I can make a backup in case they do something that messes them up.

It seems the boot issue is still there. Do you ever get this? It will get stuck at the PROSCAN logo display.

I have had it stuck. It was when I was testing things. I can't remember what I did. I do know one time I left it for a day and I noticed the ProScan logo had a flashing cursor in it.

I've been fiddling with it and it seems to be completely random. So I guess it's something we'll have to live with.
I bought it for my 6 year old who's dying to play Pokemon Go. The app runs okay on it. It's just the 'GPS' (or lack of a proper GPS chip) that's a bit slow/inaccurate

There is a way to create an SDCARD and it will run from the SDCARD. I've forgotten how . I'm looking at one of my kids cracked ones right now. The touchscreen is cracked so I'm looking at build Ubuntu for it. I'll post when I figure out the SDCARD again.
Reset tablet to factory
I was able to use the factory irmware to reset the tablet from a computer. It will over write any custom recovery, etc. I have been unable to recreate a custom image any changes make the image fail. I found the software I used to create a bootable SDCARD but I can't get it to work keeps failing on creating the MBR. The software was the Rockchip SD Firmware Tool and there is an option to create SD Boot. So far I can only find v1.43 anyone have v1.45?
Let me know here as soon as you just remember anything related to this.
I got another tab like this, screen cracked and I could read off its firmware, so I now have a working firmware waiting to be written...

How did you flash the image? what software did you use,
Thanks.
it's not possible to change the rom or custom image of the tablet to another operating system like ubuntu or linux. It has allow OEM bootloader unlocked in the settings in developer section greyed out and it doesn't allow oem bootloader unlocking 'enabled'. You cannot enable it.
What you are doing is just resetting the factory image. or rom. you can just push the reset button with pin after charging the tablet for 3 hours.
These tablets are not 'cheap' to make and google, cell phone companies subsidize these 'cheap' tablets. so you have to use and pay them when you subscribe to their cell phone 'service' or google advertisements when you use their 'service'.
Lots of vaporware being pushed saying they can unlock something for $40 or downloading tools etc. wasted of time as it's impossible to unlock oem BOOTLOADER if the manufacture has locked it, you cannot install another operating system in the tablet, or smart phone. so don't waste your time.
Only some phones allow oem unlocking bootloader and those are the higher end phones costing $400-$600 for a tablet that are not 'subsidized' by google or you cell phone company as with 'cheap' phone or tablet.
the firmware is not available for download at the manufacture website that should raise alarms about the firmware. I've factory reset the device and now it's having reboot issues, either the firmware is defective or corrupt bootloader etc. The manufacture proscan seems to be selling the devices yet no technical support or even a direct download from the manufacture, downloading firmware from thirdparty servers is security risk. it seems like today lots bogus websites and no technical support from manufacturers in tech devices they sell. and people have to sites like XDA for 'free' technical support. Even Microsoft which makes billions in profits fail to provide proper technical support for some reason. and have to rely on 'free' technical support for bugs and issues with their software and hardware and lots vaporware apps etc.. bogus apps. that don't work.
Rooting gives the user the ability to install and change OEM software. from what i gather so don't waste your time, to root a device, allows the user to delete operating system files. if the manufacture doesn't allow changing the oem software there is nothing you can do. about so don't waste time trying root it or try to install ubuntu or linux on the tablet or smartphone if it's oem LOCKED. bootloader. you cannot unlock it. it's much harder to unlock oem software.
the method to 'restore' factory image or known as 'flashing the rom'
there is no reason to flash the rom etc.
1. just hold the power button and esc button at the same time
2. release the power button wait 2 seconds
and then release the esc button
you should now be in boot up mode.
this unit doesn't allow you to be in bootloader mode. so you CANNOT install another firmware or install linux etc. other than the proscan firmware.
3. press esc to select restore the factory settings
4. press the power button to select
this the easiest way to restore stuck in browser or need to flash the rom
again if the rom is 'corrupt' which is not likely
if that is the case
the option to "apply update from external storage" doesn't seem to work as you cannot mount to flash the rom and reinstall the .img file from the .zip file
"apply update from external storage"
where you saved your .zip doesn't work
the apply updated from ADB works you need a usb computer hooked up to you computer and terminal command to ADB to your table to rinstall the .imge file
update ,this no longer seems to work in installing the .zip file method to install the firmware.
lot of software and hardware that have no technical support or documentation and the stuff just doesn't seem to work and high security risk with no updates from manufacture as it cost them money to resolve issues. selling disposable technology tablets. that is not meant to last. basically toys. for kids.
