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!!

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.

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!

Hello to everyone.
I'm using Lenovo A560 and want to root it to delete all those junk, built-in apps so that my RAM usage will decrease. I have tried many times using various root software (rootgenius, kingo, framaroot) yet didn't successful to root my a560. I have already installed usb driver for lenovo a560. Anyone can help me? I already have tried to root my phone like in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769260 thread but still the same problem occurred.
When i used rootgenius, my phone just reboot and reboot until 86% and the process failed. same on the kingo (except my phone did not reboot like before, it just failed after a reboot). In framaroot, the #error 6 message pop out.
Anyone can help me how to root my phone please? My phone system:
Android 4.3
Baseband ver : A560_A_0001_140330
Kernel Ver: 3.4.0-g80ec9c8-01182-gb30d6a7-dirty [email protected] #6
Build Num : A560_S010_143330
#just put every details for that i'm a newbie in these things. Any help would be very appreciated. (manual root not recommended, but still can try~)
Thanks!
Same problem here. Anyone can help please? Android 4.3 running on Lenovo A560.
problem solved.
I finally managed to root my a560 by installing the driver from the phone into the PC . Then I used iRoot to root my phone. It works! I followed the methods provided by a Russian blog (cannot post outside link because I'm a new user,credit to the blog)
Here's the methods (translated, contains grammar errors).
Remember, you're doing it at your own risk. The site administrator can not be held liable for the actions that you make.
1. Download and install the program on your computer VRoot
2. Disable antivirus (as needed).
3. Run the program, connect the device to your computer (if it is not defined, then try to install the drivers from the official site of your device). On the phone should be included: Debugging via USB, install from unknown sources in the USB connection must be uncheck MTP and Camera (RTR).
4. Once the device is determined, press the bottom right button green "ROOT", and wait.
5. Then, after the last window, the device will reboot (And it can be disconnected from the computer).
6. Root entitled to receive!
Russification (Thanks to Timur):
- Set on the PC this Chinese VRoot
- Put on sotik "Chinese" root-rights
- Then go to the Play Store, we set out SuperSU
- Run it, he will offer to update binary.
- Click to continue, and then click "OK". Pops request of the Chinese root.
- Press the right button zelёnenkuyu. After SuperSU say that the installation is successful, it will prompt you to delete other applications control root-access.
- Click "Yes" forward (SuperSU remove our "Chinese" and replace it with a more simply). Writes again about the successful installation.
Note : The phone will ask you something in Chinese after you root the phone. Just click the right button when the phone pop-up something after you root. This is because right button is the 'YES' and left one is 'NO' and i think that is the phone is asking for root permission.
P/s : for some reason I cannot delete the pre-installed software on my phone, even using root explorer. Anyway, the softwares that need the phone rooted can be installed.
1. First, you can root v387 by Kingo Root on Windows with phone usb cable connection:
- Install Kingo Root in windows
- Start Kingo Root, plug the phone into the pc, hit confirm usb connection, phone will be recognized as an HTC phone, do not worry and click yes to confirm rooting... and the phone will be root after it automatically restart. If you still do not see SuperSU, do the manipulation root again and make sure 100% success!
2. Next, you can install TWRP through android app "Rashr - Flash Tool":
- Install Rashr - Flash Tool in phone
- Copy "TWRP_Philips_V387.img" to SDCard in phone
- Start Rashr - Flash Tool, choose "Recovery from Storage", choose file "TWRP_Philips_V387.img", confirm install, restart phone and done!
