MICROMAX A78 ROOTED!!!
Guys!!! Micromax a78!! rooted!!!
So, here are the steps on getting root access on MICROMAX A78-
What you need
1. MICROMAX A78, data usb cable.
2. Download the Rooted Boot image file from the attachment below this post.
3. Download SP Flash Tool v2.1 from HERE.
4. Download MTK65xx Driver from HERE.
5. Download the MTK6573 Scatter.txt file from the attachment below this post.
6. Lastly download SuperOneClick root application for windows (search google), and install it...it will also install the adb drivers needed while rooting.
Installation Steps-
1. Unzip and Install the MTK65xx USB drivers on your Windows PC, just run setup.exe.
Connect your phone switched off and connect using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Do not switch on the phone
2. Copy the "rootedboot.img" file that you downloaded from my attatchment. Rename it to be boot.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5. Click on Options, check USB mode.
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your downloaded scatter.txt file. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6573_Android_scatter. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "BOOT". Leave boot checked. Now click on the "BOOT" just right to the checkbox and browse and select the boot.img (which was earlier rootedboot.img) file you downloaded from the attachment below.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. Warning messages will occur, but ignore them..
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this then Congrats You have flashed the unlocked boot.img!
NOW FOR ACTUAL ROOTING:
1. Restart your phone, now when the phone boots up, enable "usb debugging".
2. Now run SuperOneClick, and click "root"..after the process finishes, the a78 will be fully rooted with Superuser app installed!!.
Check by installing root checker from play store!!!
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
Credits!

Hi,
Facing a strange issue and that too at very first step. When I am connecting the phone (Switched Off) to USB Cable after Driver Installation, Windows detects the device and tries to install MT65xx PreLoader. But after a few seconds, it shows the error: Device Unplugged.
Can you plz help to resolve this ?
Thanks,

Guys, anyone encountering "Cookie (if present) not received" error after clicking on Download button?
My Karbonn A9+ as successfully updated to jelly bean, which was working flawlessly for 3 days. But suddenly it died while my charging my phone.. The phone could not be turned on, no fastloader or entry download mode.... However when connected to PC it was being detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QD Loader 9008. I tried this tutorial but am facing cookie not received error.
Since my phone died suddenly, not during any update firmware process... I suspect this could be case of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) which means my eMMC flash (internal storage) got corrupted and is not being able to recoginized by QPST tool.
Has anyone faced this problem?

Yes the person in one post first said the problem is due to PC and driver combination. However, in later post has also said:
"i am still stuck in download mode. i was able to programm the bootloader, as i mentioned before by using QFPROM Fuse, everything else leads to errors. only one little detail changed -> when i press the power button it vibrates shortly.when i try to porgram the mmc device i always get no response from the phone."
Some of the points to ponder are:
1. He said he was able to program bootloader using qfprom fuse.
(How did he program bootloader through qfprom fuse, what does this mean?)
2. When power button pressed, there is vibration...
(On my device there is no response when pressed on power on.)
3. However he later said when he tries to program mm, he gets no response.
(He has not said he gets cookie error, just not response... could be anything)
one of the moderator of cherry flare group at facebook was able to revive phone from cookie error.

i just found out that you can restore your phone too by using roadkill, if you had written the backup of the image of your phone lately. :angel:

yes, if you could access entry qpst download mode (vol down + power)... however if you are hard bricked... you would not be able to access that plus your phone would not turn on in any manner.
in my case, my phone didn't turn on no matter what i do. but if i connect my phone to the pc, it shows the qualcomm hs-usb something that can be read by roadkill.

Hi Friends,
This is my first post at XDA.
I unfortunately bricked my Panasonic P81 after rooting it and adding XHalo app and the boot manager app from the Xposed Framework.
The situation is as follows-
I can get to the logo, it screams Panasonic and then doesnt boot. I dont have CWA installed and worse, my SD card which had my stock backup is also lost. This means I need a mechanism to stock recover and perhaps flash boot.img and recovery.img?
I am stuck at this point, not sure how to proceed. I can get to recovery, have cleaned cache, backed up user data ,done a factory reset. Even after factory reset it still cant boot.
Please help me with a step-by-step instruction to recover, this phone is dear to me. How do I flash?(boot.img or rom) I have downloaded Sagar Patel's (good bless him!) backup and the images, but need guidance on how to flash and recover.
Please help friends and apologies for any incovenience. I am still a newbie
Guys please help!!
Driver-USB-PC connection problem

Guys please help!!

Hope drivers are installed properly in your pc.
If you are going to use sp flash tool, Make sure SP flash tool is set to auto-detect com port, not manual selection
If you find that it is driver problem, following may help you.
Please note that there is nothing that much hard in driver installation as it is just to connect your device with your pc but because many users still face problem of driver installation, you can try following tricks!!!
It is observed by me that driver installation and adb interface problem do not happen in windows XP as eventually and generally it is happened in windows 7 and later…so, you can simply try on windows xp if you are able to do so…(you can use dual operating system too!!! Or good relation with neighbor/friends/colleagues/someone/all can be beneficial here!!!)
Note that all tricks here are not necessary to work, but it may still work for you….
Take one by one step, if the first step does not work for you, only then try next step. This is not all steps to be taken at once type guide…This is simply Try and error type tutorial/tricks…
There are following problems I have come to know regarding to driver installation and conflicts:-
Device is charging through usb cable but there is no usb option displaying on either device or no driver installation box/message/pop up appears in pc….
Missing sound of that usb-pc connection
Sound of disconnection after couple of seconds of connection
Adb interface is missing
Ok, sometimes changing usb connection type for example, from mass storage or mtp to camera, ptp, usb tethering or something else can bring adb interface…..
Try with different USB Cable. You can use original nokia or samsung tiny cable instead of cable having long length. Sometimes, length matters!!!!
Try in different USB Port.
Sometimes, you have to disable signature verification in your pc for proper installation of driver.
Had you disabled your antivirus before downloading, installing and while running your tools/softwares? You may need to do so…
Have you installed the software (or say, all associated softwares/tools) in C-System drive?, if not, then you should first install required software/tools in system drive that is usually C drive in Microsoft-Windows OS…or try after installing them on desktop.
Keep all necessary files/tools (driver files, flash tools, rom etc…) on desktop.
Download proper driver According to your model/device, According to chipset inside, According to Official site of manufacturer, Official site of chipset, through PC Suite/flash program of your device…
If the problem still not solve, you should try all available driver packages of your device one by one whether from official site of chipset inside your device, or any forum, adb, pdanet+ or foxfi, universal driver, VCOM Port driver, drivers from hexamob through play store, and find all possible packages and see if someone make positive result after installation…
If the problem still not solve, you should install remaining update packages of your system (PC) including all primary, secondary, essential, Non-essential updates….whatever, just install them all….reboot your pc…and see if problem is solved….
If you can connect the device but somehow found that device driver still not installed properly, just go to device manager in your pc, click on portable device, right click on your device and apply “Update driver”. Click on “automatically search” when a window prompt ask you.
If the problem still persists then,
Just remove all the drivers using usbdeview (I have given link also to download usbdeview in earlier post)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B511A2txfpAPbmwtQXZqbnVlT1U&usp=sharing
Install usbdeview and remove all the drivers
You can also fix this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
Use Usbdeview to uninstall all the drivers before connection, restart the pc, Extract and keep driver zip files and other useful files/tools on desktop…just start your tool… and try to perform your tasks like backup…or restoring the backup…without worrying about that sound of disconnection you may listened after couple of seconds of connection or don’t even worry if you are just missing that sound of usb-pc connection….just try on your tool…
If still problem of driver installation persists, then simply use usbdeview and uninstall all drivers, restart your pc and try following steps:-
There are various ways to install proper drivers at the time of connecting the device with pc depending upon how you connect it.
Follow the procedure both with and without battery
Simply plug in via USB Cable
Connect by holding volume down button
Connect by holding volume up button
Connect by holding Power button
Connect by holding power and volume down
Connect by holding power and volume up
Connect by holding both volume up and down button
Connect by holding thrice volume up, down and power button
Connect by holding power and home button
Connect by holding power and menu button
Remember which method works and which drivers are installed
in LAN-Devices you may have different android device
Select/set drivers by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone
Suppose holding volume down method without battery works for you then what next you have to do is as below:-
1.TAKE THE BATTERY ,SD ,SIM OUT OF THE PHONE
2.HOLDING VOLUME DOWN CONNECT IT TO PC VIA USB(ONCE YOU HEAR A SOUND FROM PC YOU CAN RELEASE VOLUME DOWN)
3.OPEN DEVICE MANAGER(ON COMPUTER SEARCH IT OR CONTROL PANEL)
4.WAIT FOR 2-3 MINUTES
5.YOU WILL HEAR A SOUND & OTHER DEVICE WILL BE DISPLAYED
6.IN OTHER DEVICES ->MT65XX PRE-LOADER
7.RIGHT CLICK MT65XX PRELOADER
8.UPDATE DRIVER
9.LOCATE THE DRIVERS PROVIDED ACCORDING TO YOUR OS(VISTA,WIN7,XP)
10.IT WILL DO ITS STUFF
Install Mediatek drivers, preloaders, VCOM port etc…
Manually Install MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
Requirement:-
1. Download MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
2. Download USBDeview
Here is the link from you can get it:-
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B511A2txfpAPbmwtQXZqbnVlT1U&usp=sharing
Procedure
(* Note: You might need to disable drivers signature verification in Windows for this to work smoothly.
If you want to turn off device driver signing in Windows completely, do the following.
Windows 7:-
1. Hit the Win+R keys together to open the run dialog
2. Type gpedit.msc to open the local groups policy
editor
3. Expand ‘Administrative Templates’ (it’s under ‘User Configuration’)
4. Expand ‘System’. Click ‘driver Installation’
5. In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’
6. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears.
7. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’
8. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
9. Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers
Windows 8
1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings)
2. Click More PC Settings
3. Click General
4. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now
Note: In Windows 8.1, the ‘Restart Now’ button has moved to ‘PC Setting -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery.’
5. After restarting, click Troubleshoot
6. Click advanced options
7. Click Windows Startup Settings
8. Click Restart
9. After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement
from the list by typing the number 7 on your Keyboard Your computer will restart automatically.
10. After restarting, you will be able to install
unsigned drivers normally; however, Windows
will display a warning message. When the
warning appears, click Install this driver
software anyway. )
1. Install USBDeview and use it to uninstall all Vcom, Mediatek and Preloader drivers
1b. Extract the contents of the Mediatek USB VCOM file
2. In Windows, go to Control Panel and open Device Manager
3. Click any of the device groups (any of the items on the list) you see there, and then from Action menu, select Add legacy hardware
4. Add hardware wizard will be opened, click next
5. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
6. Click next two times and click Have Disk button
7. Click browse and find where your driver's .inf file is, then select it (the .inf you'll select is located in drivers > USB Vcom driver > your OS) . Ensure to select the 64 bit .inf if your PC is 64 bit
8. Click Open and OK. You will see the drivers listed.
9. Select your driver there (select Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port)
10. Click Next and finish installing
11. If SP flash tool or other software still dont detect your phone then also install Mediatek DA VCOM (consider installing more from the list of drivers one at a time if need be)
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Case:-
It did the same thing with my MT6577 (Wiko Cink PEAX), so I connected it with a battery and without holding VOL+. Then "MT65xx preloader" appeared in device manager then disappeared (once). It is normal that it disappears. When you start Flash_tool and when you click Download (or whatever you want to do) THEN you connect the phone (in off state), and the flash operation will succeed.
Guess what? Once my Panasonic P81 could install driver and got detected after approx. 5 hours of continuous connection with win 7 x64!!! Meanwhile, I tried first usbdeview and then manually installation of mediatek driver but manual installation had failed as my p81 was only charging when it was connected with pc….So, mediatek – windows 7 conflicts….but, when I tried tiny (very small) nokia usb cable, it works instantly…
If you ever meet problem when you connect your android with your pc via usb cable and find that your android is charging but could not recognize or there isn’t that options of “USB connection” then just disconnect your android, power off it, remove battery, connect it without battery with your pc through usb, let it have some time to recognize your android or hear that voice of “usb connection” you were just missing…after that, insert battery and switch on your android…you are done!!!
Sometimes removing both sim cards and battery and then re-inserting them after a couple of seconds also works.
Try with different USB Cable
Try in different USB Port
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Use usbdeview to remove all the usb devices and then add your device
Find proper driver of your device:-

In my opinion MIUI is best because it has a self large community like xda and launch updates per month so many that you will fed up installing them.....if you download and install one update you will be amazed that it will say 3 more system updates pending......and if you complain a bug next month it got fixed.....only thing is to find one...
PS don't download the miui 6 for p81..complained by many p81 user that it hard bricked the device.
And that miui is not official i.e. some developer made his own one and DO not tested that it works or not......

In this thread I'll discuss how to unbrick hard bricked LGX150. After accidentally deleting key system app on my phone, I was left with dead device. Let this thread be a guide how to hopefully revive it; from installing fresh firmware to writing its IMEI to be able to connect to your mobile provider.
***Note that I'm am not responsible for any possible further damage you do to your phone! This method has worked on my phone. That's the only device I'm certain it works on. Furthermore, this firmware is only for LG Bello 2 (LGX150), so in no way try to use it on any device other than one mentioned!***
Tools you are going to need are linked at the bottom.
Before we even start, you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement. Note that I'm using Windows 10. To do that, follow this simple guide. I'll be waiting...
Disabled? Great. Now, we are going to install MediaTek drivers. Open Device Manager and select to add legacy hardware in the action drop menu. We want to install it manually, so choose that option.
After clicking on next and "have disc", find the extracted driver folder location you've previously downloaded and choose:
MTK_Driver_ext>SP_Drivers_v1.6>cdc-acm.inf.
Select MediaTek DA USB VCOM. The prompt box will open where you'll click on "install anyway". Now, plug your phone in and right click on it in Device Manager. Choose "Update driver" and in the following list install driver MediaTek DA USB VCOM under MediaTek. That's it. You we have successfully installed the driver. Your phone should be listed in ports as "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Port X)".
Awesome. Now for the more interesting part.
Download "SP tool.7z" and "LGX150-00-PIN-EUR-XXX-JUL-15-2015+0.user_3.zip", and extract them.
Run SP tool as an administrator, and in the download tab choose "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" as an Scatter-loading file. If everything is okay, loaded files should now fill previously empty box. Okay, great! The moment of truth has come.
Press download button and reinsert your phone. Don't touch any button, either on the phone or computer. The bar at bottom should now change in color and flashing procedure should take place. Leave the room and return momentarily. Pray if religious.
Everything went smooth? The big green "okay" window has shown? If no, try different version of SP tools. If yes, remove the cable from phone, and battery as well. Wait for 15 seconds and reinsert it. Try to power the phone on.
Congratulations. For the next part, we'll rewrite its IMEI since it has been deleted, but more on that in a few days. You may want to check the post on how to root it here.
Credits go to the member on panduoduo.net named Ari*****e123, but I'm not sure whether the stars are because it's hidden or it is for real. Anyways, this is the link of the member. I can't thank her/him enough because this is the only firmware that actually worked, and we know how scarce options are for LGX150. If someone could show me how to donate to her/him, if possible, I'll gladly do so. Thank you, Ari*****e123.
Also, MediaTek developers for developing many, many great tools absolutely free of charge.

Firmware
Works perfectly, thanks. Could not find lg x150 firmware except here. Had to use similar firmware of x155 or x160.
Only found billions of links where people try to sell it for few bucks and offering file that requires password, but nowhere for free. Even that chinese you mentioned disappeared together with website. I am lucky to have found this thread.
The cause of my broken lg x150 was option in lucky patcher to remove all odex files, which broken all system apps, because they are special apps which unlike other apps do not have apk file with dex inside.
Just few observations:
- have to use spflashtool v5.1828 (5.1532 and 5.2036 do not work with this firmware)
- can root with kingoroot
- can replace root with supersu as in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/replace-kingoroot-supersu-manually-t3573361
- xposed framework works. just beware installing xposed after having some apps dex files linked via apps2sd will cause such apps to break, in that case just relink dex
- apps2sd works (except making ext4 primary 2nd partition on sd card, also enable su during boot and compatible namespace separation in supersu options, and enable addition of boot scripts before and after mount in apps2sd options and add this before:
Code:
su
setenforce 0
the new line after line setenforce 0 is vital for it to work properly, have to press enter key (new line) so that cursor is in new line, can check after reboot in terminal type getenforce and if it says permissive means that worked)
- can change imei via mtk engineering mode either via some apps or via code *#*#4636#*#* - cds information - radio information
- can't use uny custom recovery, boot, root, kitchen
- there are many guides for this in hovatek forum and in androidmtk website
- spflashtool 5.1532 is last version to work with nonencrypted flash files, so anybody may use that for readback (backup) of partitions and restore, for example I backed up rooted partitions, so no need to reroot or connect to internet for that ever again, no need to redo kingoroot rooting, just beware in start address you enter linear start address and partition size, not physical start address from scatter file! if system partition after readback can open via 7-zip means it is ok
- damaging imei, mac, calibration may require additional tools, but this can only happen if you format something via spflashtool or manually edit scatter file, so avoid that, see my problems: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21408.html
