STAR N9770 - 5.08 inch MTK6577

Hi, I have just bought the STAR N9770 - 5.08 inch MTK6577 . I am relativly pleased with it but love to install cwm and root, but to be honest I'm a little confused as to what files I need.
I am not new to flasing rom/cwm/rooting but have always had HTC phones.
Can someone please help me with what files I need and where to get them and how to do it, I realise this is a lot to ask but I don't want to screw it up.
This is my phone, it running jb 4.1, this was how it came.

Root help
---

Do you have a recovery there? Maybe try making a backup and flashing a root binary from a different device (galaxy for instance). I heard it sometimes works and if not you have a backup.
BTW - How is this device? Seems solid?

CWM RECOVERY and ROOT!
---

I'm getting a 'Download Warning' on my PC
It says:
Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?
Any ideas what to do from here?

Thanks for the offer. I've sent the phone back
3G didn't work at all. I'll wait until the next one arrives and start the process again.

CWM Recovery & Root
I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:
Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:
First Download This:
http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1
This RAR Archive contains everything needed.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]
1: Installing CWM Recovery
Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)
In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]
Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.
(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)
When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.
Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.
*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"
Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing
When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.
CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!
2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery
Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]
Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"
Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:
If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.
*NOTE*
If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.
Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.

Yes you can use the earlier Firmware. But you have to follow the same steps

That's for replying. I'll give it a go.

Softbricked my Oppo R7 Plus

I tried to root my phone with oppotools apk version 1.6.5. It showed finishing rooting ad status was 100% but it stuck there for about half an hour. Here, i rebooted it but now its stuck into oppo boot logo. I am not able to use fastboot. I factory reset my phone and cleared the cache and data from recovery mode but its still stuck on the oppo logo when i try to reboot it.
Can you please help me to get my phone back in working conditions?

This is not important for me.
You worked enough on my phone.

1. Download and extract my RAR files ---> HERE
2. Open your PC device manager
3. Connect an usb cable only to your pc then press and hold the phone volume + button and then connect the usb cable to the phone
3. In the device manager you will see Qhsub_bulk then release the volume+ button
4. Right click on Qhsub_bulk and choose update driver
5. Use one of the driver folders which you alredy extract to install the Qualcomm driver and you will see it like 9008
6. Your phone have to be charged very well for a few hours before you try to flash it.
7. Remove it from the charger then connect an usb cable only to your pc.
8. Try to press and hold the volume + and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds and connect the usb cable to the phone.
9. You have to see the driver in the device manager like 9006 (you can release the buttons) [it wasn't easy for me so keep trying]
10. Open the MSMDownloader and press start
11. If everything is ok you will see a green progress bar flashing. (I was stuck here with the "NON-HLOS.bin" file which you can see in the "Other NON-HLOS File" folder inside the rom which you download)
12. When the process complete in about 10 minutes you can remove the usb cable from your phone.
13. Now you have to do a veeeeeeeery long press and hold on your power button untill you feel the vibration and after that you will see the OPPO logo.
14. Leave it for 5-10 minutes to load the Color OS.
15. Ok you have a working phone but still some apps icons that are missing and the keyboard doesn't appear when you have to write something.
16. Download THIS zipped ROM and put it in the internal storage of your phone.
17. Shut down the phone then press and hold the volume - and the power button at the same time for a while intil you enter into recovery mode.
18. Choose english and then install rom from zip file. After the installation complete reboot the phone and you will get a working keyboard and few more apps like Browser, Chinese market and else....
For me i still need to insert the IMEI's because they are lost... and now i have message: Oppo nv backup. The NV partition is invalid...
Good luck to all! And if you want to give me a beer: paypal: [email protected]

[TUTORIAL/GUIDE/HOW-TO] Full guide on how to flash a custom ROM on your Galaxy S6

~ Quick First Note: If anyone's here from the Telegram Group, I'm Mark y'know.
~ This guide considers you have the latest MM 6.0.1 base​
Step 1: Rooting your device​

}
Rooting your phone will void your warranty, so if you wanna do this make sure you don't have any warranty for your device, or don't, because today nobody cares about warranty!
1. Go to autoroot.chainfire.eu and download the zeroflte version
2. Put your phone in download mode by: Turning it off, pressing Power + Home + Vol Down keys at the same time
3. If it asks for anything, which it should, press the Vol Up key
4. Make sure you have the drivers installed on your PC, if not, please, download them and install them
5. Plug your phone in your PC, I suggest using the original cable, just so y'know, nothing explodes
6. Download a program called Odin, make sure to download any that is V3+, but I recommend the latest
7. Open Odin, select the AP option on the side, and locate your file, usually called CF-Auto-Root-something.tar.md5​
NOTICE! This will restore your recovery to Stock
8. Load the file and click start
9. Don't worry if your device reboots constantly a few times, and takes a little longer to boot, it's normal
10. Check if you have the SuperSU app installed, if yes, you're all good
Step 2: Flashing a custom Recovery​
Flashing a custom recovery is the thing that's gonna make it possible to even flash anything
1. Go to http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...builded-thehacker911-android-6-0-1-g92xf.html and select wether you have the S6 or the edge
2. Do the same process as with the rooting process, though it will not automatically boot into the recovery, you have to do it yourself, but don't do it yet​
Step 3: Unlocking your bootloader​
You may be able to root your device and flash a custom recovery, but you aren't gonna be able to flash a custom ROM without unlocking your bootloader
1. Download the arter97 recovery, it's actually a modded TWRP, so it's gonna replace Philz, but you can always reflash Philz, because I heard that TWRP has some mounting issues, and your phone won't boot afterwards
2. Flash it the same way you flashed the CF-AutoRoot package and the Philz package​
Step 4: Flashing a custom ROM​
Before we flash, it's important that you consider your options. If you like performance, I'd recommend any Lite ROMs like: WanamLite and XtreStoLite. If you like to customize your device, I'd recommend OZOP, Griffin or CarHD. If you're a battery freak, try these: TN (Search on YanDisk) or Alexis.
1. Download the desired zip, also look if there's a second package, they'll often have these names in them: Update, Add-On, Aroma Add-On
2. Put the zip, or two zips in your Download folder in your Internal Storage
3. Power off your phone and boot in the recovery mode, do this by: Pressing Power + Home + Vol Up keys at the same time
4. When you're in the recovery mode, mount these partitions: Data, Cache, System
NOTICE! Don't mount the Internal Storage, or you'll erase your photos, downloads etc.
5. Select the option Clean to Install a new ROM
6. After that, locate your ROM, persumably in your Download folder, and select to install it
7. If nothing happens and you get a buttload of text displayed, that means your ROM is installing
8. If a graphical setup launches, that means the dev has considered to give you some options, choose wise
9. After the flash don't restart the phone if it prompts you
10. Wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache, otherwise you might cause your phone to be in a softbrick state​

I have a doubt, I always see G920F written in some things, but my device is G920I. Is there any problem I use anyway?

STEP 2)
Only hold the volume down + power button till the phone reboots , release buttons as soon as you feel vibration .

then press power button and device will reboot to TWRP ]
​STEP 5)
Now there will be 2 case
a) If TWRP asks for password ,
If you used pin as lock type then enter the lockscreen password ,
if it successfully decrypts data go to Step 6
b) If TWRP dont asks for password or you dont remember or password was a pattern
Skip it , Go to Backup section and see if TWRP is showing Internal Storage as 0Mb if yes then read spoiler below else skip to Step 6

Go to Wipe section of TWRP and do swipe to Factory Reset then select format data , it will ask for confirmation type yes
Now go back to TWRP home screen and select reboot from bottom right corner and then select recovery
Now when you boot back to TWRP , it will not ask for password
Now go to Backup button and it will show Internal storage (103981 MB) this means half of the problem is solved internal storage is decrypted ]
STEP 6)
Now connect your phone to PC and copy boot.img to Internal Storage .
STEP 7)
In TWRP go to install section and tap on Install Image , now select the boot.img and flash it to Boot Partition , If you cant find boot.img then read spoiler else skip to Step 8

Q) How to Boot to recovery using volume buttons ?
Ans) While the Phone is switch off , Press the power button and Volume Down Button continuously until you feel a vibration , then you will be greeted with fastboot screen , If you want to go to recovery mode then press volume down button until the header in fastboot screen starts showing Recovery then press the power button to confirm the reboot to recovery .
Q) Why does my Phone takes too much time to show TWRP home screen after the logo ?
Ans) The recovery is made by @SathamHussainM and I think it is still in beta , So it takes approx 1 minute after TWRP logo appears to show TWRP home screen .
Q) I installed a magisk module and now device is not booting . What should I do now ?
Ans) Reboot to TWRP then go to Advance > File Manager > data > adb > modules
Select that module folder which is causing the problem and delete it , If you don't know which is causing problem just remove all the folders inside the module folder
Now Reboot to system and wait for 1-2 min device should boot properly now .
Q) I can't boot to fastboot mode or Black screen no Logo . What to do now ?
Ans) In this case this guide wont work coz it needs fastbot (bootloader to be unlocked and working )
Please go to Service Center , coz files avaialble for flashing on Internet sites are not verified and they may coz unforeseen problems .

Q) Your guide did not worked for me and I have unlocked bootloader Indian variant GT NEO 2 . What can I do ?
Ans) Very Risky but you can Try to flash this ZIP from TWRP after decrypting your internal storage and Formatting Data partition (using Step 5b from OP ) and immediately after flashing reflash recovery.img to Recovery Partition .
Q) I am unable to copy 4.7 GB zip to Device using MTP through USB cable . Any solution ?
Ans ) Very Risky but you can try Format Data Partition , wipe cache from TWRP and
Copy the ZIP and recovery.img to PenDrive and connect it to phone using OTG adapter and then flash the zip
if flashing is successfull flash the recovery image to Recovery Partition . Reboot the system and hope that it boots {give it time 10 to 15 minute ) , if it does not boots then it is confirmed only solution is Service Centre
