No, you can't flash any zips without custom recovery or root.
You'll have to build a recovery for your device based on the series of MTK CPU you have.
There are guides all over the internet for building or porting recovery for MTK devices.

QMobile A2 Classic rooting problem

QMobile A2 Classic is a recently released phone.
It is different from QMobile A2.
It is based on MediaTek 6575 chipset.
I have tried without any success the following ways to root it:
-> Manually copying su binaries to system folder via ADB.
-> Installing su binaries from stock recovery.
-> Reading stock ROM to modify it.
-> Using all the available vulnerabilities to copy su binaries.
The reasons for not succeeding as far as I understand are:
-> Locked bootloader.
-> Stock recovery (3e) doesn't allow non-signed updates.
-> No access to download mode.
-> Locked bootloader.
Possible fixes for these issues:
-> Currently no way to unlock the bootloader.
-> Modify 3e or install any custom recovery, but root required for that.
-> Get a copy of stock ROM.
-> Currently no way to unlock the bootloader.
So, the only option right now is to modify a copy of stock ROM and flash it.
Good news is that someone has been able to read the CPU flash file of QMobile A2 Classic.
Download, credits to original uploader.
I need help in modifying and then flashing this file.
Or if anyone can think of some other way to root this mobile.
First give some information about ur phone I.e, kernel, baseband version,android version.

You currently can't root 10.6.1.14.10 without a custom recovery. But you can install TWRP via fastboot on an unlocked unrooted tablet, then simply install a rooted custom ROM from TWRP.

Blaupunkt Sonido x1+

can anyone help?
I just bought this phone, it has specification as:
- MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-Core ARM Cortex-A7
- 2 gb internal storage.
- 12gb phone storage.
- android kitkat 4.4.2
- kernel 3.4.67
- build number: blaupunkt_v1.57W (updated from 1.56W).
my problem:
- can't find the button config for entering the download mode.
- the recovery mode doesn't have install option, only update, so when i tried to install supersu.zip, it failed.
- tried rooting using apk and windows applications, failed (kingoroot successful, but gamekiller unable to run as root, other apps able to run as root).
- what to use to resize internal storage <--> phone storage.
- how to backup stock rom and recovery mode.
thanks

You can't flash any update zip in your stock android recovery. You need custom recovery for that.
You can't get your warranty back because you rooted your android using KingRoot app and it unlocked your bootloader.
Most of the manufacturer voids warranty if you unlock bootloader and rooted.
So, you can't get warranty back by flashing stock recovery if your android manufacturer voids.

TWRP or CWM?

Hello,
i would like to install a custom rom to my china smartphone coolpad 1S with CPU: mtk6592T (armv7 processor rev4(v7l). instruction set: armeabi v7a)
I found many custom roms for my device (for example, the MIUI V6.0),
but i didn't find a simple guide to flash the rom to my device.
I found only that , to install the custom rom, i need to install a recovery TWRP or CWM.
And i found that i need to create the recovery.
To do this, i found that i must use one of the following tools:
MTKdroid tools, to generate/install the CWM
or
EasyMagic TWRP, to generate/install the TWRP.
I would like to know which of the above is the easiest and safest to be used for my phone.
And, finally, if to install the ROM i need a tool, or if i simply can flash it booting my phone in recovery mode.
Thank you!
I'm not aware of these tools but go with TWRP recovery it's simple and easy to use. and once you got recovery you can flash ROMs in the recovery
