Yes, it’s done. Vaibhavknockout is proud to present root and CWM recovery for Funbook infinity. In case of a question or clarification, feel free to ask me on this thread.
Credits: Goes to Bin4ry for his awesome “Universal ICS and JB rooting kit” and exploit. You are awesome Bin4ry. Please donate, if possible, to Bin4ry for his contribution to android development. Press thanks or donate if this helped you.
Discalimer: By following this tutorial and by downloading the files mentioned in this tutorial, you agree that you are doing so at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage whatsoever to your funbook infinity. This tutorial assumes that the user is working on windows platform and has the tablet and USB cable available.
Note: For those who are unaware of rooting and CWM recovery and its uses, kindly read this Namaste guide for Xperia Arc before proceeding.
A) Preparing funbook infinity and windows to communicate:
1. On your infinity tablet, go to settings-->Developers options and tap on USB debugging to check (tick) the USB debugging on.
2. Connect the funbook infinity with your windows computer via USB cable.
3. You probably already have adb (android debug bridge) drivers installed which you can confirm if your computer detects the tablet and gives you the option to safely remove the tablet (refer to screenshot 1).
4. If it is the first time that you have connected your tablet to your computer, then allow windows to automatically install the drivers for you, after which you will see safely remove options (screenshot 1).
5. Change the connectivity option from MTP to mass storage in settings-->storage-->options-->USB computer connection
B) Rooting funbook infinity:
1. Download ‘Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.7z’ file from attachments given below.
2. Unzip the contents of the file to a folder and rename the folder to ‘rooting kit’.
3. Go to the rooting toolkit folder and open ‘RunMe.bat’ by double clicking the file (screenshot 2).
4. In the cmd window, type ‘1’ (without quotes, for selecting normal) and press enter (screenshot 3).
5. Wait till the program asks you to connect your tablet (screenshot 4). Now connect the tablet to the computer via USB cable.
6. Wait till the program asks you to go to the tablet (screenshot test) and tap “Restore my data” (pic 1).
7. Allow the rooting toolkit program to install root files on your tablet (screenshot test 2). It might restart the tablet once or twice which is normal.
8. Once the program is done, it will give you a success message and will ask you to press enter (screenshot 5). Press enter and it will close the cmd window.
9. Restart your funbook infinity once again and enjoy your rooted tablet.
10. Optional – To check the root status of your tablet, install ‘root checker’ on your tablet from play store. It should tell you that your tab is rooted now (Pic2).
C) Installing CWM recovery on funbook infinity:
1. Download ‘Novotools_v1.0.apk’ and ‘recovery.img’ files from attachments given below.
2. Install a file manager from play store. You can use free program ‘ES file explorer’ and enable root explorer feature from settings. I personally use ‘root explorer from speed software’.
3. Place ‘Novotools_v1.0.apk’ and ‘recovery.img’ in root of your SD card. So the path to these two files should now be - /SDcard/Novotools_v1.0.apk and /SDcard/recovery.img (screenshot 7).
4. Open and install Novotools using file manager application (Pic3).
5. Open Novotools app and tap on ‘shutdown’ to just check whether you have given root permissions to app. If everything is good, then your tablet should shut down (Pic4).
6. Switch on the tablet again, open novotools and tap on ‘flash recovery’. Wait till the message flash recovery disappears from screen (I recommend waiting a little longer ~ 2-3 mins).
7. Tap ‘enter recovery’ and allow the tablet to restart.
8. Your tablet should now enter into CWM recovery. There are three ways to enter this CWM recovery on funbook infinity. One is by Novotools (as done in step 7 above), second by going to settings-->backup and restore-->enter recovery mode, and third by switching off the tablet and holding both the home and power buttons together until recovery starts.
9. To navigate in the CWM recovery, just press home button again and again to scroll up and down, and press power button to select an option. You can’t go back while surfing in recovery, so choose your option wisely.
10. Enjoy!
D) Removing bloatware (crap apps) from funbook infinity:
1. This tutorial uses ‘root explorer’ app to select and move files, but ‘ES file explorer’ can also be used to follow these steps.
2. Open ‘root explorer’ and grant root permissions to ‘root explorer’.
3. Navigate to /system/app folder. Tap the settings button from navigation bar at the bottom of your screen (Pic5).
4. Tap on ‘Multi-select’ and start selecting following apps (bloatware for me, may not be for you) from the folder – apps.apk, elearning.apk, Email.apk, Email.odex, entertainment.apk, Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, games.apk, GMS_Maps.apk, livetv.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.odex, mstore.apk, Needforspeedtherun.apk, PlusOne.apk, Talk.apk, Tetris.apk, WeatherWidget.apk.
5. Either delete these from ‘root explorer’ or move to SD card if you plan to use them later.
6. Enjoy a faster funbook infinity.
E) System dump:
Find the complete /system dump of micromax funbook infinity in my infinity dropbox. Enjoy!
F) To take complete CWM backup of stock ROM:
1. Go to CWM recovery as mentioned above.
2. Scroll doen to 'backup and restore' using home button.
3. Enter the menu by pressing power button.
4. Scroll to 'backup format' and enter.
5. Check whether the default format is .dup.
6. Now go to 'backup' and press enter.
7. Wait till the backup is complete, then press power and hold until tablet restarts.
8. Connect your tablet to your computer and COPY the complete folder 'clockworkmod' on your computer at a safe location.
G) To restore a previous backup:
1. If you want to restore, just copy this folder 'clockworkmod' back to SD card's root.
2. Go to recovery and enter 'restore', wait and restart as mentioned above.
Kindly press thanks button, it's better than saying thank you. :angel:

Nice, Looking forward to it.
hey, By the way, isnt everything (bit by bit) is identical to the original funbook.
so, i was guessing, if i could just flash cyanbook, it shouldnt give us any trouble, should it?

Yup, everything is same except the recovery is a bit modified to suit infinity. You can try and flash cyanbook (I myself was thinking of it) but do take a nandroid backup of your stock rom first.
And after installing, do tell us about the experience asap.

Cwm is hanging/freezing at md5 generation process vaibhav(2 times now)... Gonna try it one more time before I give up on this.
About the recovery part, didn't we just throw it out the Window(or phone memory) with your help. So it makes these two similar, right?

Yes, i had also tried to take a backup and it hangs at MD5 generation for me too. Don't worry about this error because recovery has already generated the backup files for your boot, cache, data, recovery and system. To check this, just connect your tablet to your computer and go to clockworkmod folder, these .img files should already there.
Now, to fix the MD5 error, i'll post a small tutorial in a day or two (you just need 'md5sum *img>nandroid.md5' command), so don't worry about that. And besides if anything goes wrong, you are always welcome to use my tablet's nandroid backup to restore (i am pretty sure you will find my tablet's setup much better than stock.......). I will be uploading my nandroid backup, system dump and also adb backup too in a day or two.
I am right now quite busy with my PhD thesis work until tomorrow, but surely will check back regularly to help you with the process. I suggest you to go ahead with flashing the cyanbook.
PS: About the recovery part, whatever floats your boat......

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the rooting guide for infinity.I have a question though.
My funbook infinity got locked as my younger sister tried the patern lock and exhausted the maximum attempts.Now it is locked and cannot be unlocked using google account as there is no internet access.Is there anyway around to solve this problem.Secondly are we able to use any usb dongle for internet after rooting or we need to flash a custom Rom to use dongle other than photon.
Thanks
THanks
Thanks bro ...
I was thinking is it neccessary to install recovery mode ?
Recovery Mode problem
Hi Vaibhav, I have a few doubts about the funbook infinity rooting
Please reply as soon as possible
1. Even though I have not rooted my tablet, I just checked for recovery mode. I went to recovery mode through settings--> backup and reset--> recovery mode. The tablet rebooted into recovery mode, but I could not scroll into the options using the reset(home) button. The only thing I could to is to use the power button. If I can't scroll then I cannot install CWM recovery after rooting. It this a problem with the tablet or is it that I should root first? You had mentioned in your post about installing the CWM recovery where you told to scroll down using home button,but it is not working. :'(
2. How can I install a custom rom from where I can overclock the tablet??
3. How to unroot the tablet??
Hoping to get a reply as soon as possible. Please reply for all the question..
Thank You
u r genius...

Hi guys,
I figured out how to root Asus Transformer TF101 B90 running on stock ICS (US version), but I'm not sure about B70 or B80
PLEASE Follow these steps, but as everyone says I'm not responsible your tablet, so do it on your own risk....
1) Install Android SDK (lookup on youtube and there is a video guide as it is)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
2) On tablet Go to setting -> development -> and select USB debugging
3) On tablet Go to setting -> security -> select Unknown Sources
4) On tablet Go to setting -> Accounts & Sync -> turnoff Asus Sync and Uncheck "Run/turn on Asus Sync" option
5) on XDA search for "ViperMOD" and download it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21007398
6) Dont have to install drivers if you have installed ADB(Android SDK) from step 2.
7) Now turn off anti-virus/internet security (mostly not required but just in case)
8) Run "viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5" which you downloaded (step 5).
9) read the options properly and choose "step 1" other steps dont work..!! (rooting process will restart the tablet once or twice, so dont worry).
10) IMPORTANT " DO NOT INSTALL CWM, SUPER USER OR BUSY BOX from "ViperMOD Primetime v4.5".
11) Go to the link below and download CWM directly into your tablet. Once you have downloaded install and run it and its a one click CWM installer and this will give you root and CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
After step 11 you should have root and CWM on your tablet below steps are for flashing a latest version of CWM and desired ROM
12) Now goto market and download and install "OTA Root Keeper" and "Titanium Backup" in this order.
13) Run titanium backup and back up user softwares. (Remember to give superuser permissions")
14) Now go to the link below and download latest CWM to your laptop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
15) Now turn off your laptop and push down power and volume down buttons together and as soon as there is a recovery option press volume up botton and that will take you into recovery.
16) Install latest CWM and restart the tablet.
17) now download the ROM you want from the forum and copy to MicroSD.
18) Get back into recovery and do a clean flash of the ROM and you are done.
I know it looks very long to read but steps wise its very easy..
I have the root and currently running Revolver ICS Beta on my TF101...
BIG SHOUT OUT TO
jcase for "Nachoroot"
Roach2010 for "CWM"
baseballfanz for " pointing me towards "ViperMOD"
Viperboy for "ViperMOD"
brk for "toolkit v7.1 universal"
without you guys i would have been stuck with crappy stock ICS
Step 11 needs to be cleared up a bit. Not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do. It says
11) Go to " Razorclaw and down load " CWM from the link given there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427838 .
I already have Razorclaw installed but when I open the app it says the device lacks the needed file. No idea what that means. I'm not sure if that's what I'm even supposed to do though. I don't see anything about CWM in that link you posted or even anything on Razorclaw in that link unless I'm missing something.What exactly am I supposed to do for step 11?

I have changed the steps and i hope its clearer, but basically what im telling is download CWM from the link given and run it and not only install.
this is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
Btw razorclaw doesnt work anymore, so dont bother about it. ViperMOD will root your tablet so "razorclaw" is not needed... all you need is "CWM" from the above link.. Hopefully you got my point.
Thanks Dude
OK worked for me just fine after a day of no joy --you saved my ass I did have to factory reset after updating to 9.2.1.17 without using root keeper bet I don't do that again
Big Thanks! Worked on my Slider without any hiccups.

i am the lucky one, who
a) has tf101g
b) has CWM 5.5.0.4
c) has no rom
d) has no recovery files/roms on internalSD
any suggestions?

5800xm user did you install a different ROM? If so may I ask which one? I just purchased the slider and have been looking for a way to root it. Have you had any issues since you performed this method? Is this the best way to root the slider?
Sorry for very late reply as i never bothered to look at this thread... I would advice you to put all your required files onto internal memory and access CWM and flash from there as CWM v5.5.0.4 wont allow you to access external MMC... If you have already already solved your issue then forget this

Emulator is a hardware or software used for duplication of behavior of main system to host system.
In short your pc is main system here and device is emulated system.
I think you should than turn on usb debugging and set device as media storage and try.
IF YOU ARE STILL UNABLE TO ROOT THEN TELL ME AND I HAVE ANOTHER METHOD FOR YOU.:beer: cheers.

I'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to click the download option in the flash tool coz nothing is happening after that. A dialogue box pops up which reads "Not all images are correctly loaded which may cause boot up issue! Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?" And when I'm clicking on Yes, the download progress is remaining unmoved at 0%. plz help. Screenshot included.
EDIT : Looks like this method is for jellybean. I'm using stock ics.
I prefer you use binary4u method i think you are getting these error because when you were rooting a another device was connected or try to as admin

A dialogue box pops up which reads "Not all images are correctly loaded which may cause boot up issue! Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?" And when I'm clicking on Yes, the download progress is remaining unmoved at 0%. plz help. Screenshot included.
EDIT : Looks like this method is for jellybean. I'm using stock ics.

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.
Best if luck.

I have already been into that link since even I thought that I'm having driver issues but my device is included under adb in device manager and when I tried to update the drivers, it said that the best drivers are already installed.
I'm lost in a limbo, don't know what to do.

Ok My last suggestion.
Remove all the connected device(dongles, bluetooth device) from your comp except your mobile with Usb debugging on.
restart your comp.
now place it in C drive(just for caution) or if it was on C drive move it to another drive.
Now try to root if it doesn't root.
Try frameroot.

Another suggestion if the above method does not work.
Try with a different port or with different cable.
Warning: This thread is for Karbonn smart tab 8 version 2
Version 2 tablets can be identified by S/N: ST*********** ver 2 at the back panel of the device
Root on Karbonn ST-8 Ver 2:

Rooting
Download the utoo-root-signed.zip from here and copy it to a microSD card (do NOT extract it)
Charge up the battery in your Karbonn ST-8_version2, Power Off and remove the charger cable.
Insert the microSD card into your tablet
Get into Recovery mode( Power+volume down ) .
In the recovery you can move with the Volume down button, you can select with Power or Volume up
Select the apply update from EXT option
Select the utoo-root-signed.zip, this will install the package
Wait for the update to finish
Select reboot system now
This is a tried and tested method and has worked for everyone till now.
Attached zip credit goes to xda user @Lannig
Lag-free Tweak
Install SetCPU app
Download the file Setcpu.txt from here
Paste it into the root of your SD Card
Open SetCPU, first change the governor from "conservative" to "performance2"(This is the most important thing)
Click on options button(three dots) and then click Device Selection
Select Custom Frequencies
Now Set Min frequency to 48 MHz and Max frequency to anything according to your preference(Now you'll have the choice of setting the frequency upto 1.5 GHz)
Note:
When you wan't to conserve more battery lower the Max Frequency(while browsing or listening to music maybe) and when playing HD games up the Max Frequency(Most games will run perfectly with even 1200 MHz)
48MHz of Min frequency will give more battery in in standby mode.
Try not to Clock the CPU above 1.2 GHz for a long time as it could cause heat issues. The governor itself should speedup everything for you.
Low Internal Memory
The fact that our devices have only 1.51 GB of Internal Storage limits the capabilities of our devices. Especially with HD Games.
I recommend using GL2SD for games at the moment.
Get used to using the app, its pretty easy..

Ok guys,This the first and last time I am posting this....
To unbrick ur tab......
1. Post what u did
2. What is wrong with the tablet according to your understanding
If you want to be helped the above two points really matter........
3. See this link
4. All info about unbricking various types of bricks can be found on the thread....
5. Also i would suggest you go through the thread fully and understand every detail
6. Another alternative for you guys would be Karbonn service center, But I feel it is useless as they take minimum 30-45 days to repair things
7. The method i mentioned is the first one,sdcard one
At this moment we have an experimental unbrick package with us thanks to developer @fuser-invent
This package is to be used in the STEP 3 of SOFT BRICK UNBRICK SDCARD method
Step 3
This only works if the first method completed far enough to allow you into the Stock Recovery or if the Alternative Methods worked and you now need to install the correct firmware.
0. Restore your SD card back to normal capacity with the SD Formatter software. This can take a long time, be patient. Choose the following options:
- FORMAT TYPE -> FULL (Overwrite)
- FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT -> ON
1. Get THIS firmware package
2. Download the above zip extract the above zip to the root of an empty sdcard( less than 2gb ). It should look like this all four files should be in the root of the sdcard.
3. Just FYI, the zip folder among those four files is the stock rom ( it has boot.img,bootloder.img,system,recovery.img,aml_logo.img,logo.img )
Also this package is a recovery package for soft bricks....
4. Put the sdcard in your tablet
5. Hold down the Power and Vol - buttons to enter the Stock Recovery
6. Flash your firmware package and reboot the tablet.
7. If it worked, either plug your tablet into the computer and use USB mode or shut down your tablet and remove the SD card, then remove the "u-boot.bin" and "uImage_recovery" files from your SD card.
8. Boot back into recovery and make sure that the firmware package correctly installed the Stock Recovery on your device.
Your tablet is now back to it's original Factory Settings.
6. For furthur assistance see this link
7. If you are successful plz report back...........it will help others

As 2012katas said, it's very important to go to the thread he links in #6. Yes, it is a HUGE thread, but it is detailed for a reason. 99% of your questions will be answered in that thread.
For example, the thread clearly says to use the ELF2 rescue image and the USB image tool to prepare your card first, then delete the ELF2 files from it and replace them with the files for your tablet. It also says that if that doesn't work you can try the SD Formatter software with my suggested settings to try and prep your card. I have no idea if the package will work until someone tries it the correct way and reports back.
On another note. If it doesn't work the first time, try to delete the u-boot.bin file only and then try again. Also mentioned in the thread, some people need to press and hold the power and vol- buttons and then when the tablet starts lighting up, start pressing the power button repeatedly, but that is rare.
As for the people with deep bricked tablets (showing the M3/M6 chip), you don't have anything to loose at this point so you best bet is to download the ST10_20121129.zip package, remove the patch.zip and update.zip, put the ST8 v2 firmware package zip I made in that folder, edit the config_progress.xml so the firmware package name is correct and no longer called update.zip, delete the part for the patch.zip, renumber the remaining steps, zip the whole thing back up and load it into the AML USB Burning software.
That might work or it might not work. You have to intelligently experiment because there is no official release for the tablet. Also you will notice that in the unbricking thread I say that if you can get the tablet showing some signs of life after the M3/M6 chip deep brick, you can then move to the SD card method. So if the usb_spl.bin and u-boot-orig.bin for the ST10 work with the ST8 to at least get the tablet out of M3/M6 mode then you could use the SD card method.
Lastly, to 2012katas, I'm rarely on XDA so if you have more questions, I see them more often on DragonDevs. You seem into this Dev stuff and smart, so feel free to get in touch to troubleshoot more.
Awesome TAB
I love this tab...
Runs Asphalt 8 flawless on 1.5ghz OC'ed.............totally awesome no lags..

Hi guys i've got my phone rooted according to the instruction
WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.
Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:
•Odin_v3.09.zip (if don't have it already)
•recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip
• GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip file to your computer.
The procedure is as:
1.Copy the "GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
2.Turn off the phone.
3.Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
4.Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
5.Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
6.Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
7.After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
8.Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
9.After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app
•KNOXAgent.apk
•KNOXStore.apk
•ContainerAgent.apk
and i could not find out where is are this 3 APK hiding at so i decided to reset it back to factory setting but this problem still persist which comes this message:
"Device Information :
The device as detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."
anyone got anyidea how to find this 3 apk please?
Or how i can revert it back to factory settings without it popping out again ?
Have de same problem!

Hey friend i have the same problem too, i am still looking for a solution, but if you want to revert it back what you can do is re install the room using Odin, you will have the phone like brand new but without root..... if you find a solution a would apreciate if you share, i will tell you if i find something!!
Actually found this... No credit goes to me I'm just passing the info along...
How to disable ANNOYING messages "DETECTION Information":
Using TITANIUM BACKUP and FREEZING app called SEAndroid.apk DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY!!
DO NOT USE IT, YOUR SYSTEM WILL GO BACK TO CUSTOM AFTER SOME TIME!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

1. Use File Manager with root explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.
2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store

Root browser (that i used) from the store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=bg
Good luck!
So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.
First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.
I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.
