Hi. I figured out how to root my Karbonn A3+, Spreadtrum phone.
1) Get the latest spreadtrum drivers.
2) Download an application known as rootmaster.
3) Open up rootmaster, it's in a different language, but it's a basic setup.
4) Finally, you'll reach a screen where rootmaster shows you your android device connected via USB (with USB debugging enabled).
5) Hit the green button on the right hand side down corner.
6) You'll see a circle going round and round and eventually, you'll have a tick.
7) You're rooted! Congrats!
8) Download root explorer and find the superuser.apk which came with rootmaster ( /system/app).
9) Download the original superuser (Shout out to chainfire) and copy it to your SD card.
10) Move the original superuser from the sd card to the /system/app directory and replace it.
11) You have now successfully installed superuser.
Good luck!

This is the first guide and the first rooting EVER for THL W9 based on MTK6589T chipset by MEDIATEK.
Also this will guide you to fully customize and apply fixes and mods to the official THL W9 ROM.
What you need:
a. PC or laptop in good working condition.
b. USB cable for THL W9 (micro usb) in perfect condition.
c. Some knowledge on ADB and Rom Customization.
d. Patience.
ATTENTION: THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
THIS CAN PERMANENTLY DESTROY YOUR DEVICE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF DATA.
SECTION A - IF YOU HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL ROM AND WANT TO ROOT.
1. Turn W9 off , wait for the vibration. Take off the battery, wait 5 seconds and put it back.
Plug usb cable to pc and install usb drivers when asked. (You might need to plug-unplug multiple times to get the driver right) - Driver on MEDIATEK official site or elsewhere.
You might also need ADB working (not sure about this). follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
2. Download (from internet) and run eroot v1.3.4. Link: http://www.runamux.net/search/view/file/9fLmV0ty/ERoot-1014.html
Boot W9 to Android and enable USB Debugging. Run eroot (with admin privileges) and IF everything is ok you have to see Thl W9 recognized by eroot.
Click Root. You have to get 4 ticks. Unplug usb, close eroot.
3. Check root - install superuser - busybox.
You can follow this using adb commands: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
OR
Enable usb storage mode and copy to SD card the following APK files:
BusyBoxPro v9.9.
SuperSU v1.32
Root Explorer v3.1.1
Root Checker Pro v.1.2.8
You can find those on internet or xda forums. Install everything and run everything.
On root check pro you have to see green text when you press verify Root and BusyBox.
On root explorer you can access root and make it ro->rw (read only, read write).
ROOT IS DONE!
SECTION B - IF YOU HAVE THE OFFICIAL CHINESE ROM WITH NO GOOGLE APPS OR ACCIDENTLY INSTALL THE official CHINESE ROM AND WANT TO GO BACK.
1. Be sure that your rom is in good working condition with no errors.
Otherwise maybe is better to flash official rom again. Language only CN,EN.
Official ROM with flash tool here: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/W9_20130702-FH16.rar
Source site: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/thl-w9/
If you have the international ROM and want to root, please go to section A.
2. PERFORM TASK 1 ON SECTION A.
3. DOWNLOAD SP FLASHTOOL OR BIRDA FLASH TOOL and official Rom THL W9. BirdA Flash tool included in rar file.
4. Select proper scatter file (specific for official chinese rom) and click download button on flash tool.
Turn Off and remove battery from W9. Wait 5 seconds and put back. Plug USB cable.
Flash tool should detect W9 and start to load... The process will end with a green circle small window. Unplug USB and turn W9 ON.
5. When boot go to settings and language & input. First option is language, switch to English. (Go with symbols because on first boot you got chinese)
6. Perform TASK 2 & 3 of Section A to ROOT W9.
7. Now you have to remove chinese apps. There is no specific way to do it, but the main idea is here:
a) uninstall everything you can from settings->apps.
b) disable everything you can from settings->apps->all. (Be careful to recognize what is chinese and not android's processes)
c) use Root app Delete application to remove unwanted chinese apps. (this is useful when attached to Android system) found on internet or xda forum.
8. Make it Google.
Extract apk files from gapps.zip. download here: http://goo.im/devs/UniqueDroid/gapps/gapps-4.2.1
I notice that google tts conflicting with existing. dont copy this.
Copy the files to your sd card,
Use Root Explorer installed on step 6, and move this apk files from sd card to root/system/app.
Restart. This will install all Google Files and you have to be able to google login, with google services etc.
9. Install extra apk files:
Playstore 4.3.11, maps7.0.0, googletts3.1, googlesearch 2.1.12.516912, youtube4.2.16 from APK files.
Download from internet or xda forums.
If you want to remove THL Stock lockscreen, you can use Holo Locker from play store.
If you ever had the error text to speech has stopped, then go to settings, language and input and under Text to speech select PICO TTS.

Finally to all my friends using VIDEOCON A20
here's how to root your A20
How to root?
: Using vRoot
site : www mgyun com
I'd recommend this method since most of my and my friends devices were rooted using this!!
Instructions:
1) Just ensure that your battery is above 20%.
2) Take your settings and go to Developer Options.
3) Enable USB debugging.
4) Download the beauty which roots your device:
5) Connect Phone via USB, and select Charge Only.
6) Open vRoot.
7) Wait till it detects your device (ensure you have all the drivers installed).
8) If not detected, click the green button.
9) Once your phone is detected, click the green button again.
10) There will be a lot of Chinese and you will see in English [ROOT].
11) Press on that. Your phone should now reboot.
12) Congratulations. Your Android is now rooted. Check the Superuser installed!
How it works: vRoot uses an exploit known as "masterkey". (Correct me if I am wrong)
The Superuser installed is vRoot's custom Chinese one... but the basic functions are all english!
Incase you want to remove root:
1) Open ES File Explorer and go to root directory ( / ).
2) Goto to system-->app.
3) Using Root Explorer, mount system as R/W.
4) Now find Superuser.apk
5) Delete it
6) mount as R/O Optional
7) Reboot
Thats it with vRoot. Not only that, if you are a Chinese user, you can even flash ROM's using it!!
Fully Working CWM 6.0.5.1 for InFocus M512
1 CLICK ROOT IS there.
As you may know, PochiMak released CWM 6 for the InFocus M512. But it had a problem... A huge one. If you flashed the recovery, you were stuck in recovery bootloop, and couldn't get out until you flashed the stock one back. Well luckily _zerg[email protected] released a fully working CWM6 for our device, no bootloops or anything.
Everything (almost) works just fine. Backups to both internal (sdcard) and external (sdcard1) storages work well.

A.P.U. - thanks for these instructions! I am coming back to this phone to play with and try to learn some things for android modding and development, and having CWM available is very, very helpful.
Note to any others who are coming along late: the linked location for the CWM zip seems to be unavailable anymore. I looked through that thread on the Russian forum and found a Google Drive location with that zip and other important files for the M512. Please check the below instead:

Awesome, it worked perfectly! Thanks so much! There's like no development for this device, so very happy to see root finally working.
Thank you very much! I've rooted the VK6735 with this for about a month now.
Although some root software said it could root this phone; it didn't. I kept searching and finally saw this method.
Everything is working fine (except it takes the phone a little longer to boot).
Installed a couple of root apps and Xposed modules en hadn't had a problem with them.
Thanks
