[ROOT][GUIDE] Root your LAVA IRIS 501 Jellybean 4.1.1

By this time you may have been updated your LAVA Iris 501 to Jelly Bean 4.1.1
If not then you can read my post HERE and update your LAVA Iris 501 to Jellybean.
Now it is time to Root your mobile.
Earlier with ICS; Rooting was done with "Root with Restore by Bin4ry v15" but now with Jellybean, this process will not work.
Steps for Rooting:
Download and install MediaTek Driver
Download CWM Recovery from link given in my post
I am also giving link for Scatter File in-case you do not have Scatter File
Flash your phone with this CWM Recovery using SP Flash Tool (Process given below)
Process for Flashing CWM:
01. Make sure that mobile is Switch Off and not connected with PC
02. Create a separate folder in PC; for example "Recovery"
03. Copy Scatter File and CWM Recovery in this folder
04. Rename recovery_cwm_6.0.1.5_iris.img file to recovery.img
05. Start SP Flash Tools
06. Click on Scatter Loading button>Browse to "Recovery" Folder and select Scatter File
07. Now you will find that only Recovery file is checked in SP Tools
08. Click Download button
09. It will give you warning, "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue! Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?"
10. Click on "Yes"
11. Remove mobile battery and re-insert after 3-4 seconds (Do-not Switch ON Mob)
12. Connect mobile to PC with USB Cable
13. Flashing will start and it will be done in few seconds
14. Disconnect USB cable and Power On Mobile.

Process is same but in case of lava iris 455, it has got Screen Size 4.5 Inches and Resolution is qHD, 540 x 960 Pixels. Hence CWM Recovery may not work properly with this device because here attached CWM Recovery is for Lava Iris 501 screen size. You may get white screen in recovery mode. Hence I will not suggest to install CWM Recovery given in my post in your device until you have official recovery with you or try to find out a compatible CWM Recovery for your device.

This method is only for LAVA Iris 501 Jellybean 4.1.1
If you have ICS in your phone then first you need to upgrade the firmware of your mobile to Jellybean.
Detail is given in my post HERE
I have also updated my post and now you can download driver from given link.
To install the driver, you need to right click on each inf files and select install.
Let me know if it works for you.

[STABLE][CWM][RECOVERY]Alcatel_OneTouch_Flash_6042D_BY_PIJUSH_SEN

Installing Clockworkmod Recovery on your Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D means that you will be able to flash new custom ROMs on it. Without custom recovery you cannot flash new ROMs. Also, it should be installed on rooted devices. Clockworkmod Recovery can also be used to backup your entire ROM.
WARNING: Installing a recovery may brick your phone...Don't Blame Me.. Do at your Own Risk...
Note:- Alcatel OneTouch Flash Recovery Uses a secured boot.img,so a custom recovery will cause boot loop..Please Download and Flash The unsecured boot.img from below link. And flash it with recovery..
You need:
1. A Windows PC
2. CWM recovery (Download)
3. Unsecured Boot.img (Download)
4. SP Flash tools (Download)
5. Driver (Download)
6. Scatter file (Download)
7.Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D
Follow these steps to flash custom recovery using sp flash tools:
Step 1: Extract/unzip all downloaded files.
Step 2: Open SP flash tool and load scatter file.
Step 3: Unselect all blocks and select only RECOVERY and BOOT.
Step 4: Click the location column of RECOVERY and BOOT and select downloaded
recovery and boot.
Step 5: Press and Volume Down + Power to Enter in CWM Recovery Mode.
If you face any problem contact me at facebook.....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
I have tried all the recovery on the net but they all get boot loop..

connecting in sp flash & mtk droid tools.
hai there
I have a peculiar problem here. I am not a programmer or some thing like that. But an avid fan of android.
I am not able to get my rooted 6042d detected in SP FT & MTK droid tools to take a back up. My system is Win.XP [SP3]. I even formatted the system twice to remove left overs. Even, I am clue less how to get it done. I installed the drivers provided by you. I think my ignorance of windows is the main hurdle here. Can you please guide me - how to? Sorry for the bother.
I wish to flash the secure CWM made by you and the LP style rom followed by it.
1. spft says 'the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect....reinstall..'
2.mtk droid tools says 'the device is not revealed.. connect or reconnect...' - on the right side -' in system already available android debug bridge 1.0.26'
thanks
PS: I know how to use both the tools, I did it with my previous device, also of MTK-zte.

Solution of your problem....

I recomend u to go to this link to solve your Spft problem...
and i think u must download your stock rom instead of making backup...
after this problem solved try to flash unsecured boot.img first..
then u can try flashing My CWM recovery or Philz Recovery
(philz recovery can be found here...)
and got to this link
you can understand what is your problem connecting in mtk driod tool...
I think u must flash it.. because its the problem of your phone...
and if u face any problem contact me or for instant help just take the help of Google BABA!!!...

thanks for the swift reply.
SPFT problem solved as you suggested. But the problem with DT persists.
I do not have the stock rom of onetouch flash 6042d. [ my device is wrongly showing idol3!]
I want to have a SPFT back up in Droid Tools to be on safe side with imie etc. [being able to run Droid tools.]
I highly appreciate what ever the hints/advice I need in this regard, if extended.
When your LP themed rom for our device will be out?
