DISCLAIMER:
Do the following at your own risks. Steps are provided to help you Root and Install CWM Based Recovery to your Phone (Starmobile ASTRA) as a guide. Ultimately YOU are responsible for your own actions.
Addittional Warning:
To NEW starmobile ASTRA users, please NOTE the Android Version of your unit, if it says ICS or Android 4.0 or 4.0.4 then this guide will work for you. HOWEVER, starmobile has started releasing ASTRA with JB or Jellybean that is Android 4.1 or 4.2 version. THIS GUIDE MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. Be warned.
Personal Requirements:
1. You must HAVE prior knowledge of how to root Android phones, either you have rooted a previous phone or have helped/seen one being rooted.
2. PC running windows 7 and connected to the INTERNET. (I haven't tested this on Windows XP but you can try and give feedback, the internet connection is required for any DRIVER download which might be required)
ROOTING:
Software Requirements (Please download the following)
1. Root with Restore by Bin4ry
Steps:
1. Driver Installation: Install the correct drivers for your phone. (Do any of the following)
A. Search and Install MTK6577 driver / MEDIATEK VCOM USB Drivers
B. Install PDANet (it will automatically install the drivers for your phone)
C. Download and install SuperOneClick (it will automatically install the drivers for your phone)
D. If PC is connected to the internet, Windows 7 will automatically install drivers for you when you connect your phone.
2. Please ensure that USB DEBUGGING and INSTALL FROM UNKNOWN SOURCES are ON in your ASTRA. See SETTINGS. Connect your ASTRA to the PC using the provided USB cable.
3. Unzip the zip file Root with Restore from Bin4ry. Then RUN/START the Runme.bat file.
4. It will start the rooting process script, Choose 1 then ENTER (Device Type - NORMAL).
5. Wait a while, then look at your ASTRA and it should ask you to RESTORE, after which it will REBOOT.
6. The script will continue UNTIL you will see a message SUCCESSFUL.
7. Congratulations you have ROOTED your STARMOBILE ASTRA.
CWM-BASED RECOVERY:
1. Download Astra Recovery ZIP file, and UNZIP. Connect your phone to the PC and mount as USB drive.
2. Copy the mu7577.apk and recovery.img file to the root (or main folder or highest level folder) of your SDCARD.
3. Install the Mobileuncle Tools (mu7577.apk)
4. Run Mobileuncle Tools
5. Choose Recovery Update
6. Choose the recovery file in SDcard.
7. It will ask for root permission (GRANT it) the it will Flash the recovery image to your phone and reboot you to CMW recovery.
8. NOW YOU HAVE CMW Recovery for installing zip files/custom ROMs.
9. Use Volume up/down keys to navigate and Power button to choose/select. Be very careful, if you do not know what you are doing then do not select/change anything in recovery.
10. Choose Reboot System Now to exit recovery and reboot celphone.
Thanks Paul! You saved me a ton of time and effort.
Needs reboot 2 times. Then you can go to recovery now.

bricked my astra help
dddddddddd
Hi! The rooting steps worked for my Starmobile crystal but the cwm recovery didn't as my phone hangs during reboot (this is right after the starmobile logo). Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!
The rooting procedure will work for MTK6577 based roms. But the recovery is strictly for Astra. Better search for original recovery.img of your unit then flash it as the Astra recovery is not compatible with your phone.

I want to install Cyanogenmod on my i5801 running froyo. Looking for a simple & clean method.
After hours of surfing, I have reached these two tutorials:
android.gs / update-galaxy-3-i5801-apollo-cyanogenmod-7-2
newtechie . com / 2012 / 01 / how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-on-samsung.html
Which one is the recommended way? During my search, I learnt of something called Clockworkmod. Is there any need to first have CWM on my phone? Are there any prerequisites (other than mentioned in the tutorials) that need to be taken care of.
During the learning process, I have already rooted the phone using Super One Click, v 1.7.
Please help.

This is the tutorial for how to install any ROM on our phone.
If you have already rooted your phone, flashing cm is not very complicated.
just follow simple steps
1.download the cm7 odin package
2. download odin package for i5800 with ops file
3. open odin ..choose ops file
4. click 'one package' option
5. select cm7 tar package.
6. start phone in download mode pressing power, home and vol down together.
7. connect usb cable ...odin will show yellow color in one port
8. start upload and wait until reboot
9. wipe data factory setting while still connected with usb and pc
10. wait until odin says 'pass' with yellow turning blue.
11. disconnect usb and use cm7.

It's not a must but if anything does go to then it comes in handy because you can just restore the backup.
To get Cwm you can root your phone using superoneclick the flashing g3mod 2.5 kernel.

I'm preparing myself to do CM7 flashing. I've already done single-click rooting using superoneclick, but my friend advised me not to use single click rooting which he says is bit unsafe. Instead he said that I should unroot the system and root it via the terminal method. Is my friend correct?
just flash a custom Rom and there is no need to mess about rooting your phone.

1. Download d10dc root https://www.dropbox.com/s/rhsvca9epfv53ld/ROOT_icood70pro.zip
2. Enable debugging on the tablet via USB.
3. Connect to your computer and install ADB driver. (if driver fails then manually install http://u12455652.letitbit.net/download/45792.49d38524b49df16a0b360c4e0f4b/usb_driver.zip.html)

adb inside d10dc root is the one I need! Where you get that? Is that an original adb (v1.0.26) or exploited?
my RK3066 got problem to use USB debugging, I can install driver successfully by just adding my USB VID and PID into android_winusb.inf but "adb devices" cannot find it. I tried adb from ADK or embedded in some app, but only using this one can find my device.

try booting up in recovery may be that will help

I always can use any adb in recovery mode.
but only by using your link, now I can adb using USB debugging. Thanks.
Anyway, I found that it is not easy to flash recovery for unsupported device. I want to try CWM or 4Ext Recovery but they support only most popular devices by auto detect and one click flash. I tried to find the way to suite CWM or any recovery binary into a custom devices but seems no easy or general idea + require linux machine. Some said flash will overwrite /recovery but sometimes they copy somethings to /system if I check the recovery.img source. Normally there are boot, system and data partition but where recovery binaries located is still unclear to me. I am thinking I might need to resize partition on device originally without recovery.
Are you able to flash CWM in your device? How is that possible?

yes i had flashed CWM on my device
in bootloader mode (guide is given)
the CWM i had flashed just replace the recovery ramdisk and your original kernel will be same
so you can try it
there is enough space on rk3066 (16 MB for boot and recovery so you dont need to do anything)

I followed the instruction was able to flash the ROM to my D70pro ii running 4.1.1 (ROM 20121220), but now it is running in a boot loop, it will only boot to cwm 5.5.0.4, it wont boot to android 4.1.1. I tried to make recovery, it say cache recovery not found. Now, I think my only lifeline is install .zip through SD. My question, should I try install cwm 6.0.2.7 or should I install Darkwater's custom ROM. I hope I can make a factory stock ROM first before I venture into custom ROM. Unfortunately, I dont have a choice now, any suggestions, please?

Hello!
We have a small community in Hungary with this tablet, and this method has some serious problem that came up for a few people including me.
After the first boot with a rooted tabled, gapps going to crash many times. The only solution was to reinstall gapps from CWM (from the cyanogenmod source). After the second boot AOSP keyboard started to crash. Others had problems after a week of use. They had infinite boot loop and the only solution was to flash the original fw.
Do anybody else had problems like this?
after a few attempts, it worked like a charm... thanks for a nice and clear tutorial...
if only there were some custom kernels for this device...
btw in developer tools - how can you enable "Full screen anti-aliasing"? it's grayed out and unavailable...
one more thing
on the official Prestigio web site and in the device manual it says that this tablet can't be charged through usb port - not exactly true...
i used my android phone charger and plugged the usb cable to the device and charging worked (it doesn't work only if plugged in the computer usb port)...
but i don't know what happened - usb charging didn't work today (maybe it has something to do with rooting of the device - it worked yesterday when it was unrooted) - if i figure out what happened - i'll post it here...
Hello,

You have to downgrade first. After the reboot with the 3G older firmware your tablet will be a non responding brick, but don't worry it has to be this way. Push the power button and the tablet going to power off.
Anyway as I wrote, after rooting most pepole got many problems (chrashing apps, bootloop ect.) and the community is too small to solve problems like this. Easy rooting method is still needed.
You don't have to worry, you can flash the factory firmware to your tablet even if it's a halfbrick, you can do rooting safely.
I tried it a while ago. I have ROOT now! Great. This way is right. THX
-----EDIT-----
Some trouble with automaticaly close some apps has solution in wipe/factory reset, wipe Dalvik and Cache and format SDCARD. I have not any error messages now.

thought this was the only one for the 10.1 " multipad .
so is there any posibility to have anything newer than 4.1.1 for this tablet? (even with small drawbacks)
did anyone manage to succesfully install some of the other rk3066 based roms on this multipad?
Have you checked if your processor is clocked at 1.6 ghz? Mine sits in 1.5GHz. It's not normal!
?
max cpu for this tablet is 1504mhz (1.5 ghz)
This thread will help you to update and root android version 1.4.2 on your galaxy tab 2 (P5110 only).
This solution requires access to a PC running Windows.
This procedure was tested on stock 4.1.2 ROM and may not work on other versions.
WARNING:
I am not responsible for bricking your device, using this thread is at your own risk!
Requirements:
- Odin (download)
- Latest galaxy tab 2 android firmware (download)
- Clockworkmod (download)
- SuperSU v1.10 (download)
- Samsung usb drivers (download)
Process
Step 1:
Copy SuperSU v1.10 to the root of your SDcard.
Install the Samsung USB drivers.
Step 2:
Make sure Samsung KIES is not running on your computer!
Step 3:
Make sure your tablet is not connected to your computer or another power supply.
Shut down your tablet and turn it on holding both power and volume up (right) button pushed.
After some seconds you'll see a yellow triangle, push volume down now.
Step 4:
Connect your tablet to the computer and start Odin.
When Odin is succesfully connected you should see a orange box lighting up. (in Odin)
Step 5:
Extract P5110XXCMA2_P5110OXXCMA4_SMO.zip to a place you can find it.
In odin, click on PDA and select the tar.md5 file you just extracted.
Step 6:
Click on start and let Odin flash your tablet.
Step 7:
When flashing is complete your tablet should restart, turn it off again and repeat step 3.
When you're in download mode again click on PDA in odin and select GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar.
Step 8:
Click on start and let odin flash clockworkmod on your tablet.
Step 9:
When flashing is complete your tablet will restart once again, turn it off again.
Start your tablet by pushing volume down and power at the same time (not volume up)
Step 10:
Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose SuperSU v1.10 file you already copied to root of sdcard.
Step 11:
Once you're done flashing you can go back to the main page of clockwork recovery and clear cache.
When that is finished you can reboot your system
That's it!
Your device has been updated to version 4.1.2 of android and rooted with superuser.
WARNING: Do not install ROM Manager until developer says app will support Tab2 10.1 < Posting this because someone bricked their Tab2.
In addition, ROM Toolbox may not work properly (1 crash reported).

I recommend doing a full backup of android in clockworkmod recovery (use step 9 to get into clockworkmod recovery)

You can install the update above, it will reset your recovery to default.
That way you'll be able to flash the new recovery
Thread changes: I deleted superuser and added supersu, this way root will work.
Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial.
We bought 2 Tab 2 10.1's yesterday (It's our wedding anniversary on Monday these where the gifts we bought each other) and after spenging last night flashing PA, CM and PACMAN I settled on a stock rom.
All the others just don't have the right feel..... Where is the Sotmax rom when you need it... :laugh:
Any way so my tablet had root and a custom rom installed already (and a back up) and was stock after flashing.
For the mrs I just followed this and all went according to plan.
Only thing I can say is the link you have to teamhacksung.org is broken.
I did also flash philz touch straight after this.

samsung usb driver is bad link
anyone got a working one?
I think that, if Kies is installed on your pc, you dont need to install samsung usb drivers again...
I've updated my Tab 2 to 4.2.2 but am largely unimpressed so wanted to use this method to root and then install a custom ROM.
If I use the Android firmware from the link above, will I be back on the older version of Android (which doesn't bother me), or do I need to follow all them steps above but use the 4.2.2 rom from somewhere?
Anyone?
Wow, no love. Was wondering the same thing. ^
Can I use this method with stock JB 4.2.2?

No. There's a different root method for 4.2.2. Android-Andi posted a root method for that firmware in the development section. It's in here somewhere...

Hi,
I had to connect my Nexus to my PC a few months ago because I wanted to root it. (Everything went well)
Now, I installed the 4.4.4 update on my phone and it lost its root access. I need to root it again (with a toolkit or not) but my PC can't install the driver. I tried on 2 PC (W8.1 and W7) and with 3 different cables. I downloaded the Google Driver from the google site, I can't connect my phone to any PC anymore ...
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance!
You'll need to connect in the bootloader anyway. Boot into the. Bootloader and see what shows up then. Then the 15 second drivers via the link in my signature and fastboot flash a recovery.
Dont use a toolkit

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
On the bootloader, the PC dectects the device: "Android Bootloader Interface"
But, if I follow this tutorial for example: www . ibtimes. co . uk /how-root-nexus-5-android-4-4-4-ktu84p-install-cwm-recovery-1453807
SuperSU can't get the rights.
(I used adb-setup but nothing changed)
Thanks.
I'm not going to comment on other guides not on XDA. Our guides are verifyable.
Did you fastboot flash a recovery yet?
These are the steps
Fastboot flash a custom recovery
Flash from there, a supersu zip.
The app alone is not enough
All guides are in my signature

I tried with PhilZ Touch one, it seems to work, I hope I didn't make a wrong choice!
Thanks again!

I think my opinion is obvious. You can root directly from philz by the way. Then just install supersu app
