You can create your own CWM my friend.
1. You have to use MTK Droid Tools to get the Block Map for the phone. Download and install MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone on and make sure the USB Debugging is on. Now connect the phone to your computer via a USB cable. MTK Droid will recognize the phone. Now, just click the Blocks Map button and click the Save button to save the scatter.txt file in a directory you make. You will need the scatter.txt file in the next step. This step only works for a rooted phone. Your phone is rooted so you can do this. (For those who don't have root access, there is a button on the bottom of the MTK Droid window to temporarily root the phone...but it may not work). DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER. And turn your phone OFF.
2. Next you must use SP Flash Tool to make a backup of the complete ROM. SPF will ask you to select the scatter.txt file. Once you select it, select the Read Back tab. Click on the Add button. It will create a record to indicate what you want to back up. Click on the file name and you then select the folder where you want to place the ROM (it is automatically named ROM_0). Then it will ask you for the starting address and the length. The starting address is 0x0. To determine the length of the backup, you have to read the scatter.txt file. Look at the "linear starting address" of the Cache partition. That is the number you want to use for the length. You write it like this "0xnnnnnnnn". Then click enter. So now the SPF knows what you want to backup from the phone and where it will store the backup.
3. Next, click the Read Back button. The SPF is now waiting for you. There's no need to rush. Turn your phone off (if you haven't turned it off yet). REMOVE the battery from your phone. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone then put the battery back in the phone. Do NOT turn the phone on. The SPF will then backup your ROM. This step could take almost an hour to finish. Go make yourself a nice cup of coffee.
4. When the backup is done, you will see a big green OK dialog. You can now disconnect the phone. Your backup is saved as ROM_0 in the folder you selected. Now go back to MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone back on. Make sure USB Debugging is still on. Connect the phone to the USB cable again. Once MTK Droid Tool recognizes the phone, go to the Root, Recovery tab. Click the button that says "Process ROM from the file." It will ask you to select the ROM_0 file you just backed up. This process will turn your ROM_0 into the partition files that make up your firmware. During this process, it will ask you if you want to make the CWM recovery!
Let the whole process complete. It could take a half hour or more. When it is done. The firmware and the CWM image will be in the MTK Droid folders. Just look through the folders under MTK Droid on your hard disk drive.
Please, when you are done, share the scatter.txt file and the CWM recovery.img with us.
And don't forget to click the Thank You button if this helped you in any way.

Thanks for sharing this. Is the CWM recovery installed on the device at this point, or does it still need to be installed?

No. At this point, the CWM recovery image has been created in one of the folders on the computer. You next have to install it on the phone via SP Flash Tool.

There may be a problem. I tried to use a SKY 4.0D with MTK Droid Tools. For some reason, it doesn't work. I think there's an issue with the kernel. This means that someone needs to port this phone's recovery to CWM or TWRP. Hopefully, someone has already done this...but the community/developer support for these devices is non-existent unfortunately.
Once the custom recovery is available, you have to flash it onto the device, either with SP Flash Tool (you just need the scatter.txt file which you xan get from MTK Droid), or you can root your phone, install Busybox, and install Flashify to flash it to the phone.
IDEA: Start a separate XDA thread for SKY devices. They are cheap but beautiful devices. Maybe some technical folks who are skilled in porting recoveries may show up just for the challenge.

Sorry for my non helpful reply was really busy yesterday coding. I used MTK droid tools it didn't work the first time, I backed up my device again made the CWM recovery for the second time and it than booted into CWM perfectly. If you're having issues than it may be because of root I had used a one click program but it never fully rooted my device I had issues until I fully rooted on mtk droid tools ?

BTW, you should share your CWM image on say Mega.nz and post up the link so others less skilled can download and flash it. It really helps, and you'll be thanked profusely.
Also, please consider sharing what rooting program or method you used to properly root your phone. My preferred method for properly rooting MTK devices is to first flash a custom recovery using SPFT, then install SuperSu zip from the SD card. This way, I'm not having to deal with or replace Chinese super user programs.

STEP 1. Download MTK droid tools. I rooted the SKY 5.0Q with Kingo root I than used MTK droid tools to fully root the device by clicking the root button. STEP 2. Back up the phone using droid tools, its going to ask you if you want CWM built into the recovery make sure to click yes. During the process it will ask if you want to flash the new recovery image, go ahead and click yes. STEP 3. Your phone should now be rebooting into CMW now, go through it to make sure it works correctly. If it doesnt then re flash the NEW recovery boot.img that you just made.
*PLEASE NOTE: SuperUser is automatically put onto the device when rooting with Kingo root.*

Did you turn on the USB Debugging? When you connect your phone (with Debugging on) you will need to respond to the dialog that pops up on your phone to allow the computer to have access! If you do not turn on debugging or is you do not respond to this dialog, MTK Droid will not be able to see your phone.

Yes I did I did everything, I even tried it on windows 7 and 10 (pc and laptop)
and I still get the same results, I even deleted all MT drivers with usbdeview and reinstall, same thing
UPDATE:
Ok I got MTK Droid tool to detect the phone but I was unable to extract the scatter file, after numerous attempts I was informed that the Latest MTK DROID TOOL will not work 100% with the MT67xx chipset devices, maybe in the next update.

So, this is it! MICROMAX A52 has been rooted!! :laugh:
(I dont own this device, i rooted it for my friends at Indiedevers, dont ask me device specific questions!)
Things you would be needing:
1. SP flash tool -> ver 2.1 (see attatched files!)
2. Download and extract my attatched a52 rooted.rar file.
3. Unlockroot (get it from www.unlockroot.com).
4. MTK drivers (see mtk attatchment on this xda post)
5. ADB drivers (No need to worry about, unlockroot will automatically setup the adb driver while rooting)
Ok so let's move on to the steps:
1. This rar file contains my modified boot.img & the A52 scatter file (needed by SP Tools, tells the SP tools which rom addresses to flash).
2. Install the MTK drivers, just run the InstallDriver.exe program inside the MTK folder).
3. Most of you might be experienced with flashing through SP Tools, for those who are using it for the first time read this excellent guide on how to use it -> MTK Flashing Using SP Tools
4. After flashing, reboot your handset by taking out and reinserting the battery.
5. When the phone boots up go to Settings->Applications->Development and tick mark "Enable Debugging".
6. Now attach your phone using the data cable.
7. Open Unlockroot program through windows start menu.
8. Click the big green root button.
9. It will ask for installing drivers, click "yes"...it's now installing the ADB drivers.
10. Finally it will root your phone and will ask you for rebooting the phone, click yes.
11. Let your A52 reboot.
Finally after booting, check the app drawer for an application "Superuser"...Congratulations!! your A52 is successfully rooted!!!...:highfive:

Me! yeah! i did it again!

Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

How to flash CWM recovery and root Alcatel One Touch S'POP 4030X(Glory 2)
Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

}
3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

That's great news. Thanks
On my windows 7 ThinkPad, it has never been able to detect the phone over the serial console. Perhaps I'll try it on someone else's box.
Please Note: Whatever you are doing here is at your own risk.. Having said that, if you still blame me for spoiling the broth, well, I am not the COOK then.. So read properly and stop being noob..
So, we start.....
This Guide is for Windows.. Follow each step properly before asking questions..
Step 1: Setting up Drivers for Ubislate:
1. You need to install Android sdk from here and JAVA from here. Without java, sdk might show errors. So install JAVA and then SDK. I won't tell you how to install these.. Search..
2. This step onwards the real game starts.. once you install sdk, open sdk manager and install the necessary tools like sdk platform tools..Most important of it is installing google usb drivers from the list of options.. You will see this type of list :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Choose sdk tools, sdk platform tools and google usb drivers from the list and click on Install Packages..
3. Once that is done, go to sdk folder and then to platform tools. Keep pressing the shift key and right click and select 'Open command window here'. Type 'adb' in small. If you see a list of options coming, you are good to go and sdk is installed.
4. Go to sdk folder again and in that go to extras/google/usb_driver. Replace the android_winusb file with the one provided below of this post. Just copy paste and replace.
5. Connect your Ubislate tab to pc and go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Device and Printers/Device Manager.Go to other devices in the list and You will see an exclamation mark on your device named Android.
6. Right click on it and click on Update driver software.
7. Select Browse my computer for update driver and then click on Let me pick up from a list of device drivers.
8. From Common hardware types select Android Device and then click on Have Disk
9. An Install from disk dialog box appears. Click on browse and go to sdk folder where you have copied the android_winusb file i.e extras/google/usb_driver. Select android_winsub and click on OPEN. A list of drivers will now open
10. Click on Android ADB Interface and then click on next. Done!! You now have ADB access for your Aakash tab. To check, go to sdk folder/platform-tools and open command window and type adb devices. You will see your device in List of devices attached with some number and device written besides it.
Please Note: The drivers will not get installed on Windows 8 untill you disable DIGITAL DEVICES DRIVER ENFORCEMENT.. Search on google on how to disable it.. Its damm easy..
If you are done with this only then move ahead......
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step2:Installing CWM Recovery and Rooting:
1. I have made a fully working recovery for Ubislate tabs which works very well without any problems and detects the internal sd card without issues. Follow this guide here and install recovery on your aakash tab.
2. To reboot to recovery, press and hold VOL + key and Power key till the tablet boots into recovery or else there is a bat file in the zip file provided in the above link, run it and your tab will automatically boot into recovery.
3. Download Superuser.zip provided below and copy it to your internal sd card.
4. Boot to recovery and click on Install zip from sd card>choose zip from internal sd card. Navigate to the folder where you have placed the Superuser.zip and install it.
5. Reboot and you are finally done.. You now have a rooted Aakash tab with a CWM Recovery installed and proper ADB Drivers
I recommend all users to make a NANDROID BACKUP before making any changes into system as I Haven't found any Perfectly working ROM for AAKASH TAB.. Go Ahead and Enjoy

This has perfectly worked on my Ubislate 7ci and should work on other versions of Aakash Tab too. Though test it and let me know as I haven't tested it on other tabs.

ADB Driver
Does anyone have an ADB driver that works for this tablet (UbiSlate 7ci)? I've downloaded the one from Android SDK numerous times as well as a few others. None have worked so far.
I'm not a total noob as I've rooted my S3, two Nexus 7's, a Droid 4, a Droid 2, a DINC as well as a KFHD.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
Update:
Problem solved... I used this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach..._AOSP_Rk29sdk_Android_4.0.3-7inch-Tablet.pdf; specifically step 11 &19 to get ADB working.
Now I just need to root this device. The box shows that it's an A9 chip so hopefully this still works, also it was delivered running Android 4.2.2

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can help me.
I followed your guide for my Ubislate 7Ci. I used the Recovery install guide from here and rebooted into Recovery using the batch file included in the zip. Now I'm stuck in Recovery and can't do anything. I get an error message saying
E: Can't mount .....(insert ~4 file paths here)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when CMW boots or if I try to manually mount something. If I choose "Reboot system now" I end up back in CMW.
Any ideas as to what I can do?

Keep in mind, no matter what, you always have to take backup before doing anything with your phone if you aren't sure about what will happen. And this becomes must when playing with devices which don't have many stuff available related to it.. Next time do consider this. because being an owner of such a great Tab( sarcasm intended), you need to be sure about alllll this.

I am trying to root the fierce 2 but it doesnt seem to flash the twrp recovery even though I am sure I did everything right! Nothing happens at the last step where you said to take out the battery then click download and connect the phone to the PC. Nothing happens the phone just shows the Actel logo and then vibrates and turns of then back on over and over. Any ideas?
Note I did not do step 5

Use my unbricking method to restore your device, and i don't think Step 5 should be a problem.
Phones not in boot loop it works fine. Just nothing happens when I click download and connect the phone without the battery.
check your pm :good:
