Micromax a78!! Rooted!!!! - Miscellaneous Android Development

MICROMAX A78 ROOTED!!!
Guys!!! Micromax a78!! rooted!!!
So, here are the steps on getting root access on MICROMAX A78-
What you need
1. MICROMAX A78, data usb cable.
2. Download the Rooted Boot image file from the attachment below this post.
3. Download SP Flash Tool v2.1 from HERE.
4. Download MTK65xx Driver from HERE.
5. Download the MTK6573 Scatter.txt file from the attachment below this post.
6. Lastly download SuperOneClick root application for windows (search google), and install it...it will also install the adb drivers needed while rooting.
Installation Steps-
1. Unzip and Install the MTK65xx USB drivers on your Windows PC, just run setup.exe.
Connect your phone switched off and connect using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Do not switch on the phone
2. Copy the "rootedboot.img" file that you downloaded from my attatchment. Rename it to be boot.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5. Click on Options, check USB mode.
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your downloaded scatter.txt file. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6573_Android_scatter. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "BOOT". Leave boot checked. Now click on the "BOOT" just right to the checkbox and browse and select the boot.img (which was earlier rootedboot.img) file you downloaded from the attachment below.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. Warning messages will occur, but ignore them..
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this then Congrats You have flashed the unlocked boot.img!
NOW FOR ACTUAL ROOTING:
1. Restart your phone, now when the phone boots up, enable "usb debugging".
2. Now run SuperOneClick, and click "root"..after the process finishes, the a78 will be fully rooted with Superuser app installed!!.
Check by installing root checker from play store!!!
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
Credits!
I, Me, Myself

Hi,
Facing a strange issue and that too at very first step. When I am connecting the phone (Switched Off) to USB Cable after Driver Installation, Windows detects the device and tries to install MT65xx PreLoader. But after a few seconds, it shows the error: Device Unplugged.
Can you plz help to resolve this ?
Thanks,
Param

INSTALLING CWM on ZOPO ZP900 LEADER

This method successfully installs the CWM on the phone. CWM version supplied by ZOPO does not work. Use the CWM posted in the second link
I am a still learning and not a developer !
Hi All ZOPO ZP900 Leader Owners,
This is a guide for Installing Clock Work Mod Recovery Image on ZOPO ZP900 Leader Phone. Most of the owners of this fantastic phone would have desperately tried like me to install CWM on this phone (some may have found success). ZOPO does gives an option to order the phone pre-rooted however they do not install CWM ....or for that matter there is no Stock Recovery on the phone !!!. Start the phone with Power + Volume Up button pressed and your presented with an image of sick Android lying down with a Red triangle coming out of his opened stomach :laugh:
DONT TRY TO USE ROM MANAGER APP TO INSTALL CWM, THIS WILL ONLY BRICK YOUR PHONE !
So after breaking my head for couple of days, searching the net, downloading stuff I have successfully installed CWM !
So here are the steps !.
What you need
1. ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone
2. Download Fully working English CWM from here http://www.4shared.com/file/16vuWyiU/recovery.html. The one posted in Zopo website does not work.
3. Download latest SP Flash Tool for MTK6577 from here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Xgc3G_hB/SP_Flash_Tool_v3122200.html
4. Download the latest Stock ICS ROM for ZP900 from Zopo website link http://www.4shared.com/rar/hGY2ahbu/MP_MT77_root_en_play_fix_zp900.html
5. Download MTK6577 Driver from Zopo website http://www.4shared.com/zip/YXlLFoLm/6577driver_install_3_steps.html
Installation Steps
1. Unzip and Install the USB drivers on your Windows PC using the MTK 6577 Driver Zip file. There will be 3 folders named First Step, Second Step & Third Step. Open First Step install the MTK driver MSI file. Post completion open Second Step, click on ClickInstall Driver, it will automatically install the USB driver. Press Exit after installation (Win 7 may give error that installation was incorrect, just ignore)
Repeat the same for folder Third Step
Connect your phone switched off and battery removed using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Put the battery back but do not switch on the phone
2.Extract the latest ROM folder from downloaded ICS ROM. You will get 2 folders
database
MP_MT77_h958_zp900_zwx_ics_20120912-155136_TSZ_PC
Open the second folder (MP_MT77***). This is the folder that has all the image files. You will find recovery.img file. This is original file. You can either rename it or keep a back up and delete it.
3. Copy the new CWM recovery.img file that you downloaded from ZOPO website in this folder. Rename it to be recovery.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5.Click on Options, USB Mode will be checked, DA Download All will be checked, in the sub options Speed will be Checked High Speed, Battery select With Battery. Come to the main Application window
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your extracted ICS ROM folder, click on folder MP_MT77****. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "RECOVERY". Leave Recovery checked.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. A warning message will pop up. Press YES
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this the Congrats You have flashed CWM !
Check by unplugging the phone and re-starting it with Power+Volume Up button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM !.
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
Now I hope this opens the door for many other things !
Additional Info -
Install PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php or Snappea from www.snappea.com to make your device get recognized when connected to the computer. Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.

The CWM from taiwan101 for the 9300+ seems to be working fine. I was able to install .zip file from SD card. However the CWM is in Taiwanese, so if anyone can provide the CWM in English, thanks in advance
link for 9300+ CWM http://d01.megashares.com/dl/KicT315...M_Recovery.rar
UPDATE - Finally got a full working English CWM for ZOPO extracted from Mod ROM posted thanks to Kyrie1965. Tested and everything is working. Download from here http://www.4shared.com/file/16vuWyiU/recovery.html

This method successfully installs the CWM on the phone. CWM as such works (able to navigate through the menus etc) but some of the function such as Install from ZIP, Backup etc, mount are not working, Gives an error Unable to Mount Sdcard !. Not sure if the issue is with CWM version supplied by ZOPO, need to try with other/older versions of CWM.
Please feel free to post links of CWM that works

Check your device drivers USB driver has not been installed properly. I faced this issue and after multiple attempts of reinstall of USB drivers the flash tool started working properly
Also you can try installing PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.
Note Connect the phone to flash tool first without battery, in options select with battery, press download after selecting the required file, when it says searching unplug the phone put battery back, dont switch on, plus back the usb. The flash tool should load the required file.

It will flash the entire ROM again. My guide was specifically for flashing only the CWM and not the entire ROM. I wanted to keep the Stock rom intact as it came from ZOPO.
Word of caution, I am yet top try flashing the complete ROM so if you are trying ensure that your have taken a backup via CWM (if already flashed) of your existing full working ROM before attempting anything. Also flash only ZOPO Stock or customised ROMs,
From where did you bought this mobile?
Does the imei start from 355,889,3535
Is it ips 1gb ram .

Drivers please help.
Please help me install the drivers.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and my phone is not being recognized.
I've followed all the steps properly but I'm not getting the phone to even show up on the device manager. SP tools refusing to detect. Thoroughly frustrated and wasted 3 days on this.

Use only latest sp flash tool.
But I did! Still not recognizing. Nothing's happening, and no yellow bar is coming.. I downloaded the latest version of sptools, tried about 6 different versions of drivers, but my phone is not visible even as an unknown device on the device manager.

MTK droid tools 253 is not identifying the UNite 2 8GB model. What went wrong?
SOLVED - HAD TO WAIT FOR AROUND A MINUTE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Problem with 8GB version
When I connect my phone to the computer, the preloader driver is installed and there's the typical connection sound in windows. But just after that it gets disconnected in like 1-2 secs. I am unable to use MTK Flash Tool because of it.
I have a 8GB rom version of unite 2. Anybody else having the same problem?? Any solutions???
PS: My phone is perfectly getting detected by adb in developer mode.
Rooted succesfully with u r method
Followed u r all step for Readback and Rooting Got success thanks for u r hard work
I have 4 Gb Version :good:

This is How i unbricked my Unite 2(4GB)

While trying some mods for Unite 2 , my phone got bricked, i must have done something wrong because those mods are working for others. so it was completely my mistake. so i spent my last 4 hours trying to find a solution and this is how i finally got it work.
JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT TRY THIS GUIDE ON YOUR ON RISK, IM NOT GIVING YOU ANY GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL GOING UNBRICK YOUR DEVICE, IM JUST SHARING THE METHOD WHICH WORKED FOR ME
MY DEVICE
MICROMAX UNITE 2 4GB
KITKAT 4.4.2
following was the symptoms of my device only try this guide if yours are identical to mine
Phone was not booting up (nothing was happening no matter how long i press power button)
wasn't booting into to recovery mode also notification led was not turning on when plugged to PC (i.e No charging)
windows was making device plugged and unplugged sound over and over again when i was connecting it to pc using data cable
now from the 3rd point i figured out that my phone was being detected by my pc but only for a brief moment
so after searching for a while i found out that it was a problem with the PRELOADER and device was trying load META mode(donAt have any clue what that is) so i needed to Install MTK65XX Preloader USB Vcom Drivers for SP Flash Tools.
this is how i did it
Step 1 :Firstly Download MTK USB VCOM Drivers from here
DOWNLOAD
the extract it
Step 2 : Now open Device Manager in your PC by right clicking on My Computer and then click on Manage.
Step 3 :Next go to Device Manager in that and click on your PC name and then click on Add legacy hardware, see below
Step 4 : Now in Add Hardware Wizard click on Next >> Install the Hardware that i manually select from a list (Advanced) >> Show All Devices >> Next >>Have a Disk >> Browse, Now select the inf file according to your OS and from where you extracted the downloaded drivers.
Step 5 : Now click on Next on the wizard to install the drivers and when promoted for security issue just click on install any anyway to finish the driver installation.
Step 6 : After installation finish restart your PC.
Source
now remove battery of your phone and then plug it to your pc using data cable While Holding Volume up button
the windows will recognize it and install drivers, now open device manager and if you find a device under Ports(Com&LPT) which has Mediatek, MTK, USB, VCOM,PRELOADER keywords in it then you are good to go
now download SP Flash Tool
Devhost l Mediafire
and Factory rom
Download
and then extract the Factory rom archive
Then flash Stock ROM by following these steps:
Step 1: Open SP flash tool and load the Scatter file of Stock ROM it is inside the extracted factory rom folder
Step 2: Select Format all+Download in drop-down menu.
Step 3:Remove the battery of your phone.
Step 4:Click Download in SP Flash Tool.
Step 5:connect your phone to pc via USB cable while holding volume up button you can release volume button when the process is stared . Wait for flashing to complete .
Step 6: when the process is completed unplug the phone, insert the battery and then turn it one hopefully it should boot now and you should see Micromax logo just remember first boot take long time so just wait for it to completely boot
if this doesn't work then don't loose hope keep on searching for other ways ,
Nice one.... Will be helpful for some
