I think u must try FLASHTOOL {used to root & flash kernels on sony erricson handsets}...... I worked for me..

I have rooted my A45 with this software... I hope it'd work for u guys also...!!!:good::good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] karthiksitian:
finally rooted

finally rooted my a25 with the help of mastermind scatterfile and superoneclick...guys use superoneclick instead of unlockroot software ...

tiny mobile now its more powerful..

to remove bloatware use link2sd or root uninstaller...:):):).

big thanks to mastermind...

congo..

congratulations on your success for rooting micromax smarty.

I also own a micromax will you please guide us properly in detail for your rooting procedure. That would be helpful. any screenshots or detail thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] karthiksitian:
ok,sure.....

Download the following files.

1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A25 scatter file)

2) SP.FlashTool

3) A25_USB_VCOM_Drivers

4) UnlockRoot

5) Original boot.img (You don't need to download this to root the device)

STEPS TO FLASH BOOT.IMG:

1) Run SPFlashTool, preferably as administrator (not mandatory)

2) Select USB mode under Options

3) Click Scatter-loading & select scatter file you downloaded from above links.

4) It will automatically load boot.img if it's in the same folder with scatter file otherwise click BOOTIMG & select the downloaded unsecured boot.img

5) Turn off the device fully, remove the battery for 5 seconds to be sure n re-insert the battery but do not power on device.

6) Attach the usb cable with PC but not with device

7) Now click on "Download" button on SPFlashTool, it will show searching for device in lower panel.

8) At this time, attach the cable with device in power off state

9) It will search for drivers, select the USB_VCOM_Drivers u downloaded from above links. You may have to go to Device Manager to manually install the driver.

10) By that time if SPFlashTool shows some error then don't panic, just make sure that there is no ongoing flashing process on SPFlashTool n if the device is showing battery charging animation then it's safe to detach the cable. Detach the cable n follow step 7 again.

11) Now as soon as u attach the cable to device in power off state it will show a progress bar in lower panel n then a dialogue which states successfully flashed n another dialogue showing green colored ring n stating Download OK.

12) Close the dialogues, close the program n reboot the device by pressing power key.

then use superoneclick and press root ....no need to install busybox,superoneclick installs it

Rooted successfully

Thanks to mastermind and other users first

I even rooted using superoneclick(this provided me drivers for micromax a25) and then used Unlock Root given in guide by mastermind1024.

By the way Flashing is the step to be taken care of. But rooting would be easy.I will be giving detail guide for this a25 smarty shortly. Keep posting :D

New micromax has mt6515

The new micromax A25 has MT6515 processor . So the process for MT6575 is not working any more. Please help me some one, what can i do now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
How did you know this?

I mean, I have guessed something like this because I have tried almost all the tutorials over the past seven days to root my newly bought A25, but I failed. I have installed proper drivers and tried many scatter files. Even, I used MTKDroidTools to create my own scatter file and flash the boot.img or recovery.img. But no luck. All the time, two types of error occurs. If I don't disable the "DA Download", it shows "BROM Error" and if I disable the "DA Download", it shows "Partition size changed" error. Could anyone please help me rooting my A25?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Same problem...!

I have the same issue on my new a25. I have made a scatter file from the device but still am not able to flash it. getting same error as yours. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
How do u know that its MTK6515, please tell me from where u got that info then ill try to make a scatter file. I own a new A25 too, but i found out tat it uses MTK6575.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
I have used AnTuTu benchmark and Quadrant benchmark SE and they both show the chipset as MT6575, although MMX website (and also phonearena.com) shows that our A25 has the MT6515 chipset. I do not know which one to believe.

Moreover, both Quadrant and AnTuTu shows my processor speed to be 1998.0 MHz. I know it is impossible, but I don't know why they are showing this. AnTuTu gives me a score of 7374, which is very unlikely. I have ran the test several times and similar scores kept coming. The lowest score I found is 7258. I couldn't take a screenshot because I don't think A25 has a default way of taking screenshots.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Ya i have tried AnTuTu too and it gives the same result as yours. I`ll try provide a screen shot later.

But the main thing is the chipset. I have 3 different chipsets from three different sources.

1. The scatter file i made using MTK tools shows as MT6573

2. The AnTuTu system info and owners of old A25 however state its MT6575

3. In phonearena its shown as MT6515

I`ll also provide the default.prop file that i extracted from my Device.

Wat to do...?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
I failed to take a screenshot. So, I took a snap with my wife's phone. Here it is...

One more thing, the firmware version of my phone is A25_0201_V0409. The stock roms that are provided in MMX FTP site doesn't match this number. Does that mean that our phone is newer (or older) than the ones that are being rooted successfully?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Its probably new firmware mine is A25_0201_V0370. Yours is different from mine. Its the new firmware thats not allowing us to root this phone using the old method. If i could get my hands on a the ne wfirmware files i would be able to make a new boot.img file from them. But MMX ftp servers password has been changed ..!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
If I can even get to read back my own boot image, I could have made it unsecure and then root it. But I can't even read back anything. Maybe, we need some other version of the SP Flash Tool specifically for these phones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Ya i tried that too... I thought of trying to fastboot and then flashing using ADB shell but couldn't do that. Can this device be fastbooted.

Is the MTK rom tools accurate...? I am asking because the scatter file i made from that, states it as MTK6573 scatter file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
MTK info

Below is the text i extracted from the build.prop file using ADB shell.

# begin mediatek build properties

ro.mediatek.version.release=ALPS.GB2.MP.V2

ro.mediatek.platform=MT6575

ro.mediatek.chip_ver=S01

ro.mediatek.version.branch=ALPS.GB2.MP

# end mediatek build properties

It clearly states as MT6575
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
As far as I know (from the internet, off course), MTK devices cannot be booted into fastboot mode. I have tried all the key combinations to boot into fastboot mode and flash recovery or boot.img, but no luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Ya i tried every way to root this phone... But all my efforts are in vain...! :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Hi Hafiz i thought of doing a firmware downgrade by flashing the old firmware files that i downloaded from Micromax FTP servers.

I mean flashing everything including pre loader files. Will that work...?

The chances of bricking are very high. But even if i happen to brick my phone is it possible to recover it myself without taking it to the Service center. wat r ur thoughts...?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
I have tried this some days ago. I downloaded the A25_0201_T0370.zip from this website. But no luck. My SP Flash Tool always says something like BROM error or Partition size changed. You can try to flash the old firmware.

Bricking phone by flashing older firmware is Nokia's department ;). I have flashed and re-flashed my wife's xperia mini pro many a times with the stock ICS ROM and the stock GB ROM. No problem occurred. You can try. Even if you brick your phone, you can take that to MMX Service Center and they will make the phone alive again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
I have the same firmware downloaded too. Did u just flash boot.img or the whole firmware.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
I tried to flash the whole firmware as well as only the boot image. But I failed each time.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lopestom:
You have to root your phone?

In SPFT, use the scatter modified file. Open with wordpad or other editor better.

Try to remove the lines from next scatter file:

You can try removing any lines, but leave the line RECOVERY.

You installed true drivers? Are two drivers for using SPFT.

But, I continued with rua1 in your site. Because, very people are problem with SO Wi7 or 8.

Do you attempt used MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.146.rar for create a scatter file?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Thanks for for replying...

I created scatter file using MTK_Rom_Studio_1.1.77.266 in Windows XP and Windows 7 machine but both gave same error only.

I think the problem is with Bootrom mode or fastboot mode.

@hafizimtiaz

I have been able to read back by shorting the pin 4 and 5 of my micro USB cable so that it would function as an OTG cable. I have attached picture for more details.

But when i connect it to flash the recovery.img i created it shows as USB port not found error. Try this and update.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
Well i have one simple solution for you all you have to do is pull the stock recovery from your android and then provide it here

then i will compile a CWM bessed on that and then you will have CWM on your device and u can flash any su binary in zip and you will find it in my post ...

So if you r lucky then u will get the both CWM and root .. Otherwise bro without device i cant help ..

To pull your recovery type this in adb

adb shell

$su

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

you will have ur stock recovery in sdcard . it might be around 6.144mb or close ... but not greater that 10 mb

and also reply which MTK . you will find it in mtkdroidtools at the tom like mt6575/77/13/15

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

all right if it is MT6575 then i can help u but i ned the stock recovery for this ...

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

you can go to force download on samsung bricked android using this method but as far as i know this method doesnt work except smasung ... or branded android specially not in MTK
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hafizimtiaz:
Congrats on your solution. If you can read back, you can send your stock recovery.img file to "thebdcoder" and he will make a CWM for you. However, I have flashed CWM recoveries in the normal way. I don't know why I couldn't do it earlier, but my phone has CWM recovery now. But the problem is, my network connection is gone. I can do anything with the phone except making and receiving calls :( I need the modem.img and DSP_ROM files from the stock A25_0201_T0409 ROM (they are located inside "/system/etc/firmware/"). If you know where I can find them, please let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
well there is also another way to flash recovery in mtk devices ... that is mobile uncle tools . I have experience that SP flash tools sometimes failed to take my recovery . But mobile uncle tools works like a charm to every mtk devices ....

just have to bear in mind that ... you have to use the older one .... you will find it on my posts ... the new one in the market is not quite same and buggy ....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Vings:
Great how did u manage to flash CWM.? Did you use the normal method or through mobile uncle..?

If you installed CWM then use droid tools to root your phone then you can extract your firmware files without any trouble.

Or

If droid tools doesn't help search for an update.zip file for A25 which updates through CMW---> update from SD card to root your phone.

(If your not able to find the update.zip please tell me ill help you)

EXactly what meta mode does is , it shows mtk vcom usb driver (not preloader ) for some times in some phone and if hard bricked then may be after 2 min it refresh.

well your phone is not bricked so the case is different .. but u said that u can see the preloader then it is not mete mode ...
