I succeeded to root my Star S7180
Look for
"Cwm Recovery S7100 by Angelobiz"
and flash it using the last part of this manual "MT6577 CWMR Root Updated V2"
Then you can boot into the clockwork mod and install a "su" root zip.

If it is a Star / HDC / UPAI Note 2 clone also known as a N7100+ S7100 and S7180 then there is a spanish forum which has instructions and fixed versions of the stock rom
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/forums/128-N7100-S7180
there is a moderator there who has deodexed and fixed some of the problems with the stock rom
Installing and flashing CWM for this phone is not for the faint of hearted. Using the MTK flash tool and creating your own scatter flash file and even your own up to date CWM is advisable. There is a thread on here which explains how to do the flashing and creating your own CWM recovery.
Or you use the CWM by the spanish forum and their instructions
good luck!

OK, I've looked on the spanish forums and I really cant get my head around it. Ive had some rooting experience via Odin when rooting my HTC One X and Galaxy S3 but nothing like this. Anyone care to do a guide in proper English as opposed to google's translated guide? Ideally I want to gain root access and install an improved rom. The one which is installed with the phone is pretty lame.
Thanks guys, any help appreciated

s7180
Further to my last post, if this is any good I keep getting the following error when I try to flash recovery.img to the handset:
BROM ERROR : S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Need download all images!
.................I havent a clue what the hell that means. Grr, its doing my nut in

I tried translating the spanish forum to no avail.
I also tried using the method for the NT6577 chipset, nadda.
Any help would be appreciated

It would appear that your the only one who has managed to root yours. Please would you mind compiling an idiots guide for us noobs If I can get Clockwork mod on the phone I think I could probably figure the rest out.
Much obliged

Thanks for the pointers guys, I was unable to escape the bootloader!

its not a guide as such but might help in giving more pointers.
I managed to replace the existing recovery and replace it with my own generated CWM recovery.
In order to do this I followed this guide!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764 which has a link to a tutorial
I went and installed the droid kitcen and MT6577 plugin as well in order to create my own recovery as that was my prefference. use any files of the internet at your own risk or lower the risk and DIY it!
This is curtesy of yuweng who did all the hard work writing it up.
Regarding to my phone which is classed as an S7180 or N7100+
I found this website
http://gt35pro-mobile-gadgets.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/hdc-s7100-note-2-is-now-renamed-hdc.html
He also gives out the links to which packages to download inlcuding a CWM recovery.
**************************** disclaimer *************
Don't use a scatter file that you did not create using the tools that yuweng is referencing to in his thread and tutorial!!!!!!!!!
if you use the wrong scatter file you flash the recovery into the wrong section of memory and therefore run at a HUGE risk of bricking the phone
***************************** disclaimer end *************
In essence the order I did things in
Backed up my original recovery using the Flashtool
Created my own CWM recovery using the Android Kitchen which needs the MT6577 tool and plugin installing as a mod (search XDA for the guide as to hoto do the install and yuweng also has a tutorial on how to add the MT6577 recovery generation for this)
Using MTK Droid tools to generate my own scatter file. ( a scatter file is like a memory map as to where the start and is and in this case the map for the CWM)
then using the Flash tool i flashed it using my scatter and my previously created CWM. See yuweng tutorial.
Again Gregg has provided a CWM, I can't comment on it as I never tried it.
anyway the moment i had CWM, I flashed the ROM that was on that blog page. Which came of the spanish forum originally. And they are now on version 1.2 las time I looked. 1.0 fixes a few things, i am using 1.1 as 1.2 removed the touchwiz look a like launcher and my 3D sheep widget
TIPS
* Driver installation is crucial to succesfully flashing with the FlashTool
- Switch phone off and remove the battery, then plug it in. Complete that driver install
- Re-insert battery and check without booting it you will notice that it does not have the same behaviour as with battery...very odd...still do it just in case
-boot it up and once ready put it in USB debug mode and connect usb lead and let the driver install complete
* READ THE TUTORIALS - Seriously i spent 1/2 day nonstop checking things
* Don't do this if you are not sure about what you are doing at all.
* Check your scatter file values for where the recovery is going to be flashed at least 4 times before commiting them into the flashtool. It pays to be safe!!
* Dont get freaked out by Hex values when you put them into the flashtool. if it looks wrong then check again. Only when you press the download button in the flashtool with your phone attached will it start.

stupid question
Hi ! Im following yuweng tutorial to make my own recovery ,but im stucked in starting android kitchen. I have installed all and i am at page 13 of the manual , when i am at in the cygwin command windows at cygdrive/c/android-kitchen-0.219/ and type "menu" ,nothing happens , just "comand not found" ,How do i start kitchen menu?
Its the fisrt time im doing this ,so may be a stupid question.....sorry.
Thanks in advance.

S7100 Working Root Exploit

Hey everyone,
After spending hours toiling through the different methods listed above (thanks to everyone for posting those), I've found a much simpler way to root the S7100, not sure about the other ones.
Go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
and download the Framaroot 1.6.1 .apk to you phone. Install it, and wham, rooted. Or at least thats how simple it was for me: Hope it works for anyone else trying to root.
Note: This root exploit also works on many other types of phones as the thread explains.
It doesn't install the recovery or anything, but it's certainly a start.
Specs about the phone:
Model Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V15,2012/10/08 20:22
Build Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga_2013088

Ulefone N9776 e1911_v77_gq2000_a41_6628_v20) root

Hello everybody.
I have a problem rooting a N9776 bought from DealExtreme, this is the 4.1.1 version with the 3.4 kernel.
The problem is that it is impossible to root, at least for me. I tried every method on this forum (and others) in order to get it root, unsuccesfully.
This is a list of the methods i tried (as i remember).
- Bin4ry exploit (the first that i tried)[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460]= I click on restore, the phone reboot, nothing happend (no root, no SU.apk)
- MT6577 CWMR Root (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8mxvy0ey5yfdu59)=
First problem: I cannot generate the recovery.img, i used cygwin's command to do it, but the image does not appears
Second problem: I managed to get all the links in the guide, but i don't know if there are the versions needed in order to get this done, due to missing links in the guide itself.
Third problem: cygwin says: "perl v5.14.0 required, v5.10 used", and i don't know how to upgrade perl .. or what the hell perl.
-SP Flash (tool http://colonelzap.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=n9770): I loaded the scatter file, pressed the "download" button, take of my N9776 battery, USB pluged in, put the battery back on, the process starts for like 2 seconds, and boom, error (BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)).
Im getting a little bit to frustrated, and just to be clear, i will say two things:
1- I'm a complete and absolute noob on all this, i never rooted a phone before (only a tablet, wich was easy).
2- My english isn't perfect (as you can notice), so, sorry for that.
Can somebody help me with this?

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire 500 single sim Query

Hi, I have a New HTC Desire 500 single sim, and I would like full root. Previously I had a HTC Wildfire buzz and my wife had a HTC Explorer. With the Help of XDA Developers I rooted Both, unlocked the bootloader, (S-Off on wildfire) and have installed around 20 ish custom roms sucessfully throughout the net, so I am familiar with the rooting processes.
The HTC Desire 500 single sim however has got me stumped. I have already unlocked bootloader and installed the custom recovery. Originally I joined xda to ask a question about the below (copy and pasted) instructions, but I wasnt a developer or didnt have the 10 posting so I couldnt. This was posted by Junior Member and credits go to
@ SPSPaWn, I have followed the instructions and can confirm this does give you root access as well as installing Super SU.
So I got what I wanted so whats the problem?
well the problem is whilst the root is permanent, some of the programs (stock programs and modules) come back \ reinstall themselves when I reset or the phone resets. I have downloaded a few root checkers from android market and confirm I have root. so for example of what im trying to unistall, Keyboards - I have loads of them installed, Russian, Spanish, (every other country you could think of) I only want english, so I got a root uninstaller and unistalled the following, Keyboards - all except English, Twitter and Stock. Sometimes it would hard reset on uninstall Twitter or Stock and when it booted back up again, all the stock modules \ programs would be back installed again, or at least appear in the list again of things I can uninstall.
Im thinking this is down to 2 reasons, 1) there appears to be a system program called recovery, which I havnt uninstalled for safety reasons, as there is no custom roms available for the phone yet, and I really cant afford to screw it up.
The other is whats different about the way I rooted the desire 500 compared to my wildfire is that I still have not figured out, or have not found a successful program to turn the S switch off in bootloader. I did this on my wildfire and had full rights, and when I removed system programs they remained removed, HTC desire 500 no such luck. So Im really thinking its one of these and Im more inclined to think its the S switch in bootloader, but nothing touches it at the moment, guessing its still too new.
Any thoughts or ideas, im going bold from scratching my head. Thanks.

[Q] Troubles with my bro's Xperia e10i mini

Hello all !
My name is Seby, and I'm here because I consider this a serious community.
With some months ago, I changed the ROM of my Alcaltel One Touch 991, and my brother saw that I can do it, so he wanted to change the ROM of his Xperia e10i mini.
I rooted it, then he was needed to go out of country, so he got just the phone rooted.
Now, he came back, and wants to continue to change the ROM.
The phone was/is still rooted, so I started to search a good CWM for it.
After 2-3 hours of searching for solutions ( found somewhere a tutorial where unlocking bootloader was needed, but I couldn't unlock it because flashtool got error about remounting the system rw, then I kept searching another CWM ) I found a nice tutorial about How to install CWM on xperia e10i. ( this is the tutorial - this is the CWM )
I have installed it, then I wanted to test if it really work, so I spent about one hour to find the combination of keys for it. (spamming Back button while the first "Sony Ericsson" text is loading)
But sadly, it doesn't starts... I tried with ROM Manager (downloaded from pc and copied on sdcard because it doesn't appear in the Android Marker) and rebooted it in Recovery, but it was just rebooting.
I searched for the directory called CWM (or something like that) in phone's data and sdcard, but I couldn't find it.
I'm really bored of this solutions' search, so that's why I registered and posted this.
I hope you can help me, by telling me what should I install, what to do next, etc.
Here is the ROM that I want to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961707
(looks nice, and the part with "is the most stable and feature-complete ROM for the mini for day to day use" convinced me)
Here are some details about phone:
Firmware
2.1-update1
Baseband ?
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel
2.6.29

Did you try Volume down to get in to CWM?
That rom you want to install is 3 years old CM6 = Froyo
Pick some other one, atleast CM7....
You need to flash the kernel first (you can use flashtool)
Kernel has CWM built-in
Enter CWM and install .zip from SD (rom)
I used these when i had my X10 mini
Kernel
Rom

Thank you very much for the reply !
I followed the steps: I unlocked the bootloader, then I loaded the new kernel version... but after ithat, it exited from Flash Mode and started to turn on... but it is stuck in a boot loop now...
It cannot start the OS, it just restarts the loading animation after its own end.
I can access the CWM so I think I can fix it.
I will try to add directly the CM7 because I've read somewhere that this kernel works only with it, so I will give a try
If you have any suggestion, just tell me.

Hurray ! I've installed the ROM !
First, I couldn't install the ROM from CWM (error: can't mount /sdcard) ... then I put the SDcard in my phone and I saw that it is corupted, so I gave it a reformat, then I copied the ROM to the SD, and moved back the sdcard to the sony ericsson and I finally loaded the ROM
Thank you very much for your reply, martinusbe !
Until yesterday, I've lost my hope.
By the way, thanks to all tutorials too

Great.
Now you can try some different roms :silly:
P.s. there is a 'thanks' button, to say thanks...
