[ROOT] Guide For Rooting myPhone A818

The credit does not goes to me.
It goes to SuperGuko of symb.ph
You can say thanks to me anyways.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YR BLASTS OR WHATEVER HAPPEN
YOUR WARANTY AND BRAIN IS NOW VOID.
What is Rooting and its benefits? —its like jailbreaking but its your Android phone, unlocking the capabilities of your Android device with the apps and tweaks that requires root access to the Android system. Its not necessary but if time came and you realized that you need to root your phone, then it must be it.
What is CWM recovery? – cwm is short for clock work mod recovery. All Android phones have recovery mode already but clock work mode is better and you can do more with CWM, like installing patches, updates, and tweaks on your device.
Rooting myPhone A818
First, you must download these files:
SP Flash Tool — extract once downloaded. This is the app used for flashing an Android phone.
http://www.mediafire.com/?dridzg1tdokf2up
MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers –extract then install. We need these drivers so that the phone will be read by the SP Flash Tool once connected to the PC.
http://www.mediafire.com/?9wi60a5dtst2aw6
CWM based Recovery –this is the working CWM recovery (recovery.img) for the myPhone A818
http://www.mediafire.com/?jt482l02ls8kl4h
MT6573_Android_scatter.txt –we need this scatter text file.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?tkizuj24vntmt9r
Root A818 –update file for rooting the A818.
http://www.mediafire.com/?kmbkj29lccsaili
Steps
Once the drivers are properly installed and the SP Flash Tool is already extracted and accessible, turn off your myPhone A818 and remove its battery.
Run SP Flash Tool.
Click the Scatter-loading button and navigate to the downloaded MT6573_Android_scatter.txt file.
Be sure that the RECOVERY is the only one selected, click on it and browse on the downloaded recoveryNonTouch.img file.
Click the Download button and just ignore the warnings.
Attach the battery again and connect the phone, be sure not to turn it on yet.
Wait for the process to complete. You will see a Green Circle with a label saying download okay. Normally, this process doesnt takes too much time and not more than 5 minutes as you were just writing a small-size recovery.img file.
How to enter into CWM recovery
Be sure that your phone is turned off.
Press Volume up + Volume down and power button until a set of choices appears then just press the up button to enter recovery.
With the CWM recovery, you can easily make a full back-up of your phone. This is as well called as Nandroid back-up. Just be sure you have enough storage on your SD card. Just select Select backup and restore, then choose back up and wait for it to finish.
How to root myPhone A818
Copy the RootA818.zip file on your SD card.
Enter CWM recovery.
Select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, then locate RootA818.zip.
Select Reboot system now.
To know verify if the rooting process is a success, look for the SuperUser app in your drawer, or just check root access with the Root Checker app from the PlayStore.
Enjoy!

simply root it with Vroot
This method is very complicated just simple root it with voot 1.7.2 sofware , you just all those drivers witch come with Q mobile software. Juts simple put mobile in dubugging mode , once sofware detected your mobile just simply press the Root button , your wmobile will restart once and its finally rooted . No need for all this stuff. I rooted my friend's A2 Classic with that method , if you want some screenshots i can provide that to.

Easy Rooting Method.
- I am not responsible for bricked phones
-and i am also not responsible if someone hit a bricked phone in your head
-don't worry your data remain safe :laugh::laugh:
Method:
first and first download the software from attached files below the post :good::good::good:
1) Install all the drivers (as the original post suggested ADB and VCOM )
2) turn USB debugging on.
3) Install the software , its in chinese but not very difficult to understand Just press the middle button once installed it should be looked like this (check the attachment )
4) press the button , let the software do its things, once your cell phone restart check the SU app in the drawer.
Caution: Do not Factory restore your phone after freezing apps or modification you will end up in a boot loop.
So what you do with this little Rooted device ?? duh off course make ext 4 partition on your SD Card and link your newly download aps using link2SD . no worrying of low space

[GUIDE] Videocon A55 HD Rooting and Recovery related stuff

Heya,
Since there is not enough info on the web regarding the rooting procedure for Videocon A55 HD and custom recovery for this awesomely smooth device, I'm uploading the necessary files and step by step guide. Hope it helps all the users of this device.
Remember rooting would tamper the warranty of the device and should be exercised carefully. The procedures mentioned below have been personally tested by me however I take no responsibility in case you ruin your device although I would be here to help you in such a scenario. Besides this the rooting script was not created by me and all the credit goes to the respective developer.
1. Rooting Procedure
Make sure you have enabled "USB Debugging" under Developer Options on your phone.
Keep your phone disconnected from computer via USB
a) Download and Install the ADB Interface driver for MTK 6589
Link to ADB Drivers
b) Download and extract the rooting package
Link to the Rooting Package
c) Now go to the extracted package and open a command prompt to that location as Administrator.
d) Type run.bat in Command Prompt and a message must appear "Press enter to root your phone..."
e) Press any key
f) Now after a few seconds the message should be " * daemon started successfully *"
g) Now connect your phone via USB to the computer
h) The cmd would automatically start pushing the necessary files onto your phone and when the process completes your phone will restart
Now you are rooted.To check install any Root checker application from playstore. Remember to grant permission while running Root Checker app when a pop up appears. It is suggested to update the SuperSU app from playstore and execute it at least once after that to update the su binary. You can also update the busybox package from playstore because busybox supplied with the rooting package is pretty old.
2. Installing CWM Recovery
Okie, since you are now rooted, most likely you would require a custom recovery to create full nandroid backups or test different ROMs. The CWM recovery provided here was created using MTKDroid Tools and is version 5.x (Non Touch). Again all credit goes to the developer of MTKDroid Tools for making such a powerful piece of software.
a) Download and extract the recovery package.
Link to CWM 5.x and Original Recovery for A55 HD
b) There are two files in the package , one is the custom CWM recovery and the other one is Stock Recovery (Names are pretty self understood)
c) Copy "Custom_Recovery_CWM_A55HD.img" to the root of your SD card
d) Rename it to "recovery.img"
e) Install Mobile Uncle Tools [MUT] from the playstore.
f) Open MUT and go to recovery update
g) Now you must see the recovery.img in a list. Just select it and follow the pop ups.
h) Now your phone would restart.
i) To check if the recovery update was successful, go to MUT and select "Reboot into Recovery" and your phone would most likely start in CWM recovery..
Alternative to get into recovery mode is to Press Power button + Volume Down key together when switched off.
3. Stock ROM for Videocon A55 HD
Okie, here we go, as I mentioned that I had got hold of the stock rom, so here I'm publishing it. The credit goes to Pratap Solunke (psolunke) for providing the Factory ROM zip.
I have just divided it into update.zip and files for SPFT for ease of downloading. Besides I have splitted each section into 4 parts and reuploaded it so you can download them at your ease. I'm providing the link for the whole folder which includes the changelog, update.zip and files for SPFT.
The ROM version is V7 (2013.07.15) which is different from the original ROM which was V5 (2013.06.08).
You can read the changelog for the updates in this ROM.
Link to ROM Folder
If using update.zip to flash this ROM, then
Step 1. Open the update.zip with winrar, Do not extract.
Step 2. Navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and extract this file only, then use "Notepad++" to open the file.Don't use default notepad.
Step 3. Delete assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "A55HD" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "A55HD");
Step 4. Save the file, put it back to the same location in archive (It will take some time to add to archive)..Done...then proceed as usual.
a) update.zip is for reinstalling Factory Image of the ROM from recovery mode. The zip file is signed.
b) Files for SPFT are to be used with SP Flash Tool and can be used in case your phone is bricked. Do not flash the preloader unless you know what you are doing.
c) To download the files just go to the respective folder and right click on each file and hit download. After all four parts are downloaded, extract Part 1 of the downloaded splitted files and the files would be ready to be used as is.
d) Keep all four parts of the splitted files in a single folder and do not rename the splitted files.
If you have any questions related to A55 HD you can ask them here and I would try to help you the best way I can.
I'm still testing some custom ROMS but none seem to work . So far I've tested LEWA OS and MIUI ROM for xiacoao G6 Youth. However I'll keep trying and update once I have a working Custom ROM.
One more project in mind is to port Custom ROMS to A55 HD if none is available as is on the web.
If anyone of you is able to find a working Custom ROM for A55 HD kindly post it here so that we can have a repository of successful and useless attempts. I'm sure it would help others.

Rooting procedure worked after two attempts. The device is rooted.
While trying to install CWM recovery, get a problem. Can not see custom recovery in MUT. Pasted on both SD cards, internal and external also.

I forgot to mention , rename the recovery image to "recovery.img" and then put it in root of SD card and it would get detected by MUT...It will get detected instantly...Thankyou for bringing it to notice...Just updating the post...

done but some observations!!!!
DONE.
Some observations:
1. In CWM, cant see internal SD card. While, after mounting usb storage, can see external SD card only. NOTE, CANT SEE INTERNAL SD CARD ONLY WHEN TRY TO MOUNT INTERNAL PHONE STORAGE IN CWM. WHILE NORMAL WORKING NO PROBLEM.
2. Deleted.
3. Deleted.
4. Deleted,
5. Deleted.
6. The font size of Stock and CWM recovery is very small still it can serve the purpose.
Do any body have original/stock update.zip from Company?
Updates:
I think I figured out the problem with touch. Uninstalled an application called "Go Power Master" and the touch is ok even after connecting USB or charger. Thanks man. The phone is working very nice after rooting.

Some observations:
1. In CWM, cant see internal SD card. While, after mounting usb storage, can see external SD card only.
2. After rooting, before even installing CWM, got some irratic behavior with touch. Like, while USB is connected, touch was not working as expected, it took long time to make USB storage active as after touching a specific required operation, like pulling down task bar it was doing something else like opening play store, opening game, or opening date and time settings. While unlocking lock screen, it was just opening any random phone application and is not even allowing to go back with back button or home button. Don't know this is related with what?
3. Irratic application were opening while touching different application but after removing USB, things were working better.
4. Rebooted in CWM and first tried to "fix permissions" to avoid that irratic touch behavior, thinking there was problem with permissions. Took nandroid back up, after fixing permissions. Wiped cache and dalvik cache and restarted.
5. Now, till now phone is not connected to PC with USB cable or connected to charging; it behaves better with touch but it is very troublesome to perform any operation after phone connected to PC with USB or to charger.
May be you have faced these issues or may not! Any suggested solution? Do any body have original/stock update.zip from Videocon?

For me the touch works without any problems...and as for detecting internal sd card...that also works flawlessly..i don't have the phone with me right now...Yesterday I was trying something and the nvram got corrupted [No baseband]...so right now it is resting at service center...Hope to get it next week...
One suggestion never install Carliv Touch Recovery on this phone...it messes with the baseband and display...Stick to this recovery until I build a more updated CWM...

Please add in above step 2 "to extract file Updater-script on PC" and then use N.........
Flashed modified update.zip from CWM and phone upgraded to version 15072013. To be strange it is showing v1.0 20130715 in build ie in about phone. All the applications were intact but lost root and also CWM recovery; then managed to root the phone and flash CWM with your fantastic guide.
After booting in CWM, wiped cache and dalvik cache(why? don't know). Phone is working nice. Thanks,

Nice...Yeah, people at Videocon forgot to change the version number i guess...and loss of root and cwm was due to restoring of system.img and recovery.img in the ROM file...so it's normal..
Besides one should always perform a clean install from CWM..i.e. Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik Cache, Format /system/ and then install ROMS..
And yes this ROM is a bit better then the one on phone..I received my phone today from service center and software was updated to this ROM..It felt much better .And the version was same , so this seems to be the latest ROM for A55 HD.. Enjoy

How to flash phone with sp flash tools
was trying to flash a recovery build on CWM site. I think it has spoiled baseband. No sim is getting detected. Any idea how to flash phone with SP tool? Don't have access to service station as am very far.
Edit: Managed to flash with SP tool. Used the files you have uploaded for SPFT. Selected all options and now phone is on and showing base band version, also sim are getting detected. The issue was preloader drivers for windows 8 which managed to install by disabling driver signature verification. Device rooted and installation of CWM through MUT was successful. Thanks.
Try this and this. Its as good as custom rom installation works very well with MTK6589

The issue was preloader drivers for windows 8 which managed to install by disabling driver signature verification. Device rooted and installation of CWM through MUT was successful. Thanks.
Try this and this. Its as good as custom rom installation works very well with MTK6589

You must understand that the recovery partition is of 6 mb....and most likely the recovery you received from CWM online builder was more than 6 mb..hence your secro.img was also overwritten...hence the problems with baseband and imei....same thing happened with me 7 days back when I had to submit my phone to Service center. Unfortunately i didn't had the flash image then but it is good to know that it can also recover baseband and imei. And congrats for recovering your phone and I'm glad my contribution helps you...
Just remember one thing...if the boot, recovery,secro partitions are of more than 6mb then don't flash them as they would mess one thing or other...and hopefully you had disabled preloader in SPFT.....if not then from next time onwards please do it....because rarely you need to flash preloader...and a wrong flash can make your device a brick which can only be recovered by Test points.Hence never flash preloader until unless you know what you are doing.....And yes, I already use Gravity Box along with Xposed Framework...Great mod...Besides them I also use xhalofloatingwindow with bubble launcher and lwinrecent ...Both are xposed modules and work as expected.I also have init.d support which allows to make boot persistent changes on device....Along with that a few build.prop tweaks that take my ROM to the custom level...Let me know if you need any of this...

Please
Thanks for preloader advise. was not that much aware and will take care next time. Please share init.d support, build.prop tweaks and their usefulness.

For init.d, use term-init by ryuinferno.

This is the link to the thread. Do not use zip-init or uni-init. Follow the guide on the thread. It works flawlessly.

@anuj - Anyways if it brick again and need to send service center, please text me imei and location, i will make it done fast for you dear.:fingers-crossed:

Thank you Pratap bro. I'll let you know next time if I get to the point where I need to go to service center but I'm sure that with the ROM you provided I wouldn't need to go to one. And yes people you can ask for stock ROM from Pratap. He has excellent connections and can get you at least the Videocon ROM and may be others . Don't forget to thank him. Besides he is an excellent person who wouldn't shy away from helping you if he can. Ciao Pratap brother.
