IMPORTANT Info (read this before proceeding any further):
- Please back-up your system folder using any file manager (ES or file manager) before doing root. specifically the busybox file.
- Also, do a back-up of all your messages, contacts, call logs and apps using the Backup and restore application.
- Rooting your device will VOID its warranty.
- Download and use these files at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damages or failures that might happen to your PC or device.
What you need:
1. S2-4.0-root folder containing the root.exe. Download link* (Download this file and extract to your local drive. In my case I placed it on my drive D :\). By the way, This file was sourced from the MU forum.
2. USB Drivers (with ADB driver) here: Driver link.
3. ADB installed on your machine – see below.
*password <here>
ADB (Android Debug Bridge):
Information here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
1. Make sure that you can connect to your device via ADB before you continue rooting your beloved P700.

Root Proper:
Once you have verified that you can connect to your device using ADB, then follow the steps detailed below.
1. Connect your P700 (powered ON) to your PC using the supplied USB cable.
2. Open command prompt and type “ADB devices”. This should show a set of numbers corresponding to your device (see screenshot on top). If not check ADB topic above.
3. Browse to the location where you placed the S2-4.0 folder. Open it and run P700_ROOTv1.0.exe (WARNING: this action would immediately reboot your device) and follow the instruction on screen.
4. Wait until your device is ready.
5. Hit Enter and your device will reboot again. Follow the on screen instruction and wait until your device is ready.
6. Hit Enter when your device has completely restarted.
7. Now you will be prompted with the following line: uid=0 <root> gid=0<root> (follow the instructions next to it). In my case - id is 0. If not, try again and repeat the procedure as mentioned in the instructions.
8. Hit Enter again and your device will reboot for a third time and you will see the following lines: Remount succeeded….....
9. Once your device is completely restarted, hit Enter and the windowed root dialog will automatically close.
Your device should now be rooted.
Screenshot of sequence above:
How to check if you are rooted
1. Use ADB shell and check that you can run su.
2. Use Root checker (download from Google play store).
3. Use ES file explorer or any file manager to enable Root explorer and mount the system folder. If you don’t have any issue with these steps then your device is already rooted.
ADB shell (rooted)
NOTES:
- The following files will be pushed to your system (Superuser, su , MobileUncle toolbox and RE Chinese).
- Root explorer (Chinese) will be installed on your device. You can opt to remove this app using Titanium backup.
- This process was tested on the current ROW(Rest of the World) build (P700_ROW_S108_120614), so I am not sure if this will work on other available builds out there.
- If you see or experience any issues, you can always do a factory Data reset (root will be preserved).
IMPORTANT Info (again):
- Please back-up your system folder using any file manager (ES or file manager) before doing root. specifically the busybox file.
- Also, do a back-up of all your messages, contacts, call logs and apps using the Backup and restore application.
- Rooting your device will VOID its warranty.
- Download and use these files at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damages or failures that might happen to your PC or device.

Does anyone know why this phone s not recognized in most parts of the world? I thought XDA dev would have it but even they don't list it in the phones section.!!
A friend is thinking of getting one and he was asking me to see if it was a good phone.
Hi Epsilonthegreat.
Maybe you can assist me:
I have taken the P700_ROW_S113, cooked in some modifications (most importantly I replaced the kernel) flashed it on my Lenovo A750
It looks like it is working well. Which I expected, as the P700 is just the A750 with a different screen, but the screen is in the kernel. Just like the P700i seems to be the A789 with a different screen.
I did so in the hope of getting the ROW "Rest Of World" languages. However, it seems to only contain Vietnamese in addition to English and Chinese.
Do you know if this is normal for the ROW's? Or did I download one that has already been tweaked, not the original?
Thanks

Hello cybermaus,
Unfortunately the P700 ROW version only have English, Vietnamese and Chinese on it. Maybe due to the reason that P700 ROW was only officially marketed on these areas.
Below is the Language screen shot on my unit.
Regards.
Yes, that is what i have. Thanks.
Its a pity, I had hoped to get a multilang version
But still the exercise was very useful. I now have a ROM as stable as the cleaned up A750, but even more cleaned up and better internationalized.
Anyway, a return gesture to the P700 community: I have written a small review of the Lenovo Security app, which you guys may want to put on your phones, as it works very well on it.
It worked! thanks man!

*bump*
Any bug?
Can't wait to try it. What exactly does this script? I mean how it is working
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
It works like that:
-It makes the BackupMarket folder in C:\
-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (which is in /data/app/ and this file could not exist!) in the phone to the C:\BackupMarket folder
-It copies the file Vending.apk (whic is in /system/app/ this file exist in every devices) from the device to C:\BackupMarket
-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (whic is included in the script) to the /data/app/ directory into the device
-It copies the file Vending.apk (whis is included in the script) to the /system/app/ directory in the device
-The script will reboot the phone.
This is how it works, if you wants the source-code, don't hesitate to contact me in PM or at [email protected]
Thanks for the explanation, tried it and works great. Thanks for this script mate.

Doesn't work for me - creates the directory and then sits there, doing nothing. No files copied. Debug is on, USB Storage off (also tried with it on). Unarchived and ran ADB in archive with "devices" - nothing shows as connected so that's probably why.
Will try again at home where I did the original root - maybe ADB is not working here. Will update later.

You have no ADB Drivers in your PC. I'm 100% sure of that, and now I will explain to you why is that:
The script controls that your phone is connected to the PC and that is correctly running with ADB. If the phone isn't working fine with ADB the script will NOT run until the phone is correctly running with ADB.
In english, that means that your ADB Drivers aren't installed properly
Let me know if the script works on your main PC

Yes, and I figured that out after awhile and tried to install them but was unsuccessful. I tried it again on the home PC (Vista64) where I had previously installed the SDK and it appeared to start but not finish - after showing the transfer statistics, it basically just stopped.
I did see activity on the phone, but not a full reboot. When I looked at the market however, it had definitetly updated it and it was working great. With the script still active and the phone connected, I did a manual reboot. At that point the script declared the update a success.
So guess the only thing it missed was doing a full cold reboot.
The new market looks and works great - thanks so much for putting this together for noob hackers like myself. In addition to making it easy, looking at the syntax of the script taught me a few things. Cheers!

If you have bought one of these phones from eBay or wherever as I did you will probably be struggling with all the annoying Chinese stuff (unless your Chinese of course) and trying to root and ROM it.
It is NOT possible to brick the MTK65x3 chipset phones so don't worry about breaking it if you have one of these. Some people are saying they have 'soft bricked' their MTK65x3 phones but that is only because they do not have the correct software to do what it is they are trying to do.
There is another method posted on XDA by a chap (or chapette) called 'bn' someone or other but I personally found it a very long winded, badly explained and difficault tutorial. I in no way am suggesting that 'bn' is not professional, he likely knows much more about this stuff than I but I didn't find he was very 'layman' friendly for us folke that need more detailed instructions.
If your reading this 'bn' I mean that with total respect and have a tool I have found called 'MTK ROM Studio' that I was hoping you may be able to help teach us how to use correctly to backup and modify our ROM images.
If anybody wants to ammend or correct anything I write here then please feel free to do so if you are sure of your method. I am not an expert at this but I can tell you how to easily do the following with software I am posting.
1. Root the Chinese MTK phones.
2. Install Uncle_Tools which is simular to Clockwork (CW does not work on some or all of these phones).
3. Uninstall all Chinese stuff from your current ROM at the touch of a button.
4. Download your own scatter.txt from your phone.
5. Download your own firmware information text document
6. Install BusyBox
7. Install Superuser
8. Backup your current ROM to your SD card.
9. Change IMEI 1
10. Change IMEI 2
Download the file I have posted at the bottom of this page and extract (Run) the 'MTKdroidTools_v106.exe' setup file.
The other file, 'ROM Studio' is for those that feel confident in using it to develop some ROM mods or whatever that they will hopefully let us know about. I am not going any further into that without help.
Open the MTKdroidTools folder and start (double click) the green MTKdroidTools.exe icon.
Don't be alarmed that some of the text is mumbo jumbo, just ignore it and read the English bits! I have converted some of the original Russian text to English but if anyone can clean it up please feel free.
In some or all cases (sorry I'm not sure) it may be required for you to pre-flash the recovery.img first. You may as well do this anyway and I have included everything you need in this file MTK65x3_Recovery_Flashing.rar (Sorry I no longer have this software)
The pictures explain it all. I hope this helps you out somewhat.

Are you sure your not using some naffy download manager as the link works fine when I click it.
If your trying to download this on your phone then don't, this is a Windows application that accesses your phone over USB
This mistake arose in Mozilla Firefox 12, Google Chrome 19, Internet Explorer 9, Opera 12 (computers). I suspect that a problem simply in the file name????

Sorry your quite right, a corrupted archive. I have uploaded it to my own website so please try again, it should be fine.
Also I have tried some of the other ROM's for download on here and they are not as good as the pre-installed one on mine. In my opinion your better off just deleting the chinese crap and tweaking your existing ROM.
Oh and I have mixed boot images and data files from different ROM's loads of times and black screened my phone but easily got it back again so I guess you really can't brick these! That's a first for me!
Thanks! Now everything managed to be downloaded!
Hi,
I think by 'bn' you'are talking about BM (Bruno martins, a portugues guy), who posted his work on:
- his website
- eten users forum
I already root my s820 using Unlock Root and installed SuperUser, But wanted to try you proposition, to remove chinese applications...
... but when I download your .rar, "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" cannot be executed.
Am' I the only one who cannot launch it ?
Another think:
It exists a update.rar rom for T9199+ devices on the web:
(see on talkingmobi.com/?s=T9199&x=0&y=0, click on T9199 link, then click on the green button)
According to the date release (2011-10-28), I think this is the original rom of our devices.
The Droid Tools is a "7z.SFX.exe" which is basically a self extracting 7zip archive. You should be able to right click it and extract it with WinRar as I can. If not install 7zip and open it with that.
I have just downloaded my upload, extracted it and ran it and it works fine for me.
Droid_Tools_s810_s820_T9199+.rar
You're right : the second try was the good one !
I launched "MTKdroidTools" and created my scatter.txt
After test, It seems that the Root-Shell is obligatory to launch at each session to allow Device access,
But for me, like on your screenshot, the buttons "delete chines apps", "backup" etc... are not clickable...
(see image below)
I already test an other way to make a backup (by the recovery), but it appears several error messages:
"Error: names longer than 100 chars not supported"
is there an other mean to backup our device (perhaps TitaniumBackup... ) ?
Hmm... That's new!
You won't be able to use the Remove Chinese App's / Backup etc untill your phone has sucessfully rooted which is why those buttons are not clickable.
What I can think of to check so far:
1. Have you got USB debugging enabled? If not then turn it on and try again.
2. Pre-Flash the recovery.img by following this and don't forget to install the included drivers! Recovery_Flash as I did that before using this software.
Let me know how you get on!
I have just noticed that the scatter.txt included in my Recovery_Flash link is formatted slightly differently from the one in the phone. Maybe that is why the root works after, I dunno!
It's all Right !!
I had already :
- enabled USB debugging
- pre-flashed the recovery.img proposed by BM
So I just pre-flashed recovery.img using my new scatter.txt (which indeed is a little different that the one proposed by BM)... AND IT RAN ! (see image below)
Asta la vista Chinese App's & hello backup !
I found the original russian post where this "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" has been proposed; it seems that it will still evolve... !
Cool, glad u got it to go bud.
Drop me a 'Thanks' if you would
Phill.

Thank you! Going to try this as soon as i get to my a210.
.... Placeholder ....
And you can just press the 3 point?, Only root, the kernel does not need to unlock me ....
Probably not. It dumps a CWR image to /dev (overwriting the factory recovery?), which is boot, so you have to be unlocked.
CWR is used to mount /system (rw) so that adb can push Superuser and some other binaries.
I got stuck, after loading up CWR. My Windows 7 (x64) couldn't recognize my A210 while CWR was running. Downloaded USB drivers through the Android SDK, and the Acer USB drivers, but neither of them did any good i continued with the rooting process (so that it could clean up after itself) but nothing got pushed to /system (which is no surprise, seeing my tablet was unrecognized). So, now i have an unlocked bootloader, no root, and i'm unable to get into recovery... nothing happens, if i hold volume down, while powering on. I have to press the reset button, to restart it properly.
Could it be that there are no drivers for Windows 7 x64?
Edit: ok, i've read through the topic at android-hilfe.de, and got it working (had to manually install the driver). Now i have root! Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
I don't know if it will work with 4.1.1, because I do not have 4,1.1 on my tablet! You have?
I get everything back to its factory state, or even be the standard kernel?

Please learn english, or use a better translater tool for your questions!

Hy everybody
I tried to root my A210 yesterday using your program. But I point out some difference between what happen and the "how to".
First, I didn't have 4 option when I start the tool. I just have the bootloader option and a root option.
Following the "how to", I first activated the open mode to boot.Then, I choose the second choice (root) and that's when it didn't follow the "how to" document. My A210 did restart and boot to a*SCHLEXEDEELER edition but it never ask me to restore my data. And when it get restarted, everything was as it were.I also didn't have all the part about installing the driver because my PC still detect the tab as "adb interface".
I aldo never had the section about mount and unmount system.
Then the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool ask me if I wanted to install the custom recovery. As I was pretty scared of what might happened, I answered "no". So the tool ended.
I cheched on my tab but I was still not root so I did all that stuff again but choose "yes" instead of "no" for the custom recovery.The*SCHLEXEDEELER tool printed out many lines but one caught my attention.
It was something like :"data\tmp\cwm[...].img : no such file or dir".there is a file called "cwm[...].img" (the [...] is because I don't recall the exact name) in the folder in wich there is the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool.
But I didn't suceed in making it finding this file.
And when I checked whether I'm root or not, it turns out that I wasn't.
Any ideas or suggestion?
Still, thanks a lot for your job.

FIRST OF ALL you don't read the thread correctly:
The "How to" of Heroturtle is NOT for V2.0 Final Edition!! Do not use that "how to" !!
So here is what the tool do if you select root:
Start your device into bootloader (fastboot mode)
Flash boot.img to your device via fastboot
Pushing binary files like su and busybox to your tablet
READY!
It's important that you have install all drivers correctly!
The 4 points are from the Versions before and are not necessary anymore now.
If you have done the root process, you must install SuperUser from the PlayStore! After that you have root!
Use only schlexedeeler Tool V2... You are confusing something and write about things that no longer exist in the new version!!! No restore my data. etc...
Sorry for my bad English
schlexedeeler Kernel 1.1, Not mount USB - NTFS format....
ok, got it.
I will try to install super user tonight and see if it's good.
I'll write a message to keep you inform about that.
thank you for your quick and pertinent reply

Tutorials/FAQ: For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated
Changelog: v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.
@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Well, you can try the backup and restore feature, as i didn't had the chance to test it on non-rooted phones and please report your findings as it will help me to improve the tool.
Thanks
Do people still use this tool? I haven't checked it for a while and i can see it has a couple of downloads, more than i expected actually. Should i update it and add new features?

doesnt seem to work with me - it cant establish an adb connection with my phone
no problems using other adb tools
if I run adb devices from a cmd promp it detects my phone
also each time I run the program it asks me to keep replacing files then it brings up an error about adb files (but these files are in the folder)
iv attached screenshots
edit
ok so iv done some more testing - turns out this app wont work if you have an adb emulator installed - for example if you have bluestacks installed make sure you end task it or exit the programme before running this else it wont work as it will get confused between the physical adb device and the emulator
Still get the error messages about files and asking to replace files at each start up
once I disabled the emulator it works fine in terms of connection however the screen shot feature I still cant seem to make work
It now says it has successfully taken a screenshot but the screenshot is not in the folder
edit again - ok so you put the screenshot bug in your pdf file as a bug but it would be helpful if you actually put the bugs on the op of this thread
Your screenshot prog looks just like ADB ScreenCapture by majdinj xda - it gives exactly the same read outs
The android screen monitor is basically a copy of droidATScreen which I have put in the attachment however droidAtScreen can also take screenshots and continuous screenshots too
Well Done!! GONNA TRY THIS.
Great work
gonna try this good work
@marcussmith2626
You are not typing "x" to exit. So integrated cleanup is not executed. So you get that overwrite error.
Now delete all files (except toolkit exe and readme) and try again.
I ask you to go through Readme file which explains bugs and why they are in programme.
My programme is much similar to majdini's because ff2png (file used to take screenshot in recovery) used by him and me is taken from same source (GPLv2 licenced).
Also screenshot terminal command is universal for all androids.
I didn't knew about majdini's programme. But when you mentioned it, I checked his one. My commands are differently expressed (commands same as explained above, but code is different). If you use his code sometimes there is error.
But my code does not give error in batch format.
(but problem is after exe conversion, this has a bug. Check readme for more info).

to aviod the error of the adb files you have to run program as administrator
you should include run as admin in your exe file in future builds
Sorry bro, real bad CMD to EXE converter you use, I could easily find your .bat file here:
EDIT: Removed.
as far as your ADB device select is concerned use the command (adb.exe -d) this will direct the adb to the first USB ANDROID ADB Device
and I would like to know Setup program you used...
