will try all of this, thank you so much for guiding me..

Update:

1. dd method failed (Permission denied) I think it is because I am not rooted yet.

2. Here are the files from the scatter file you just gave:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g17xlcrlwhxabpc/7uxaZWWiOe

5,120KB is exactly 5MB.

3. And Yeah, I already tried bOyka8 steps, and still stuck at partition size change.

Thank you so much..

Sorry for the late reply, was busy this last weekend.. I tried flashing the recovery.img and still the same Error, partition size change. Guess you we're right.. Deym, how can I root this thing..

Edit: Ahm, do you think it is possible to root this phone if I will install first CWM recovery then I will flash update.zip? Just like other phones? Because I have read in one thread, specifically in rooting Nexus 7, that they flashed CWM first then an update.zip(rooting). Nexus 7 has the same ro.secure=1 and not debuggable. What do you think?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
:confused: This should work! :confused:

Ok I think you may have to start fresh.

Remove any SP Flash tool versions you have un zipped.

Download this version Here

Turn off any security software you may have then unzip it.

Right click the SP Flashtool.exe and Run as Administrator

In SP Flashtool OPTIONS tab.

1. Ensure USB is selected.

2. DA Download All. Select/Tick Disable DA Download All

3. Backup Restore Nvram (No Action) Select Tick No Action

4. Place recovery and scatter in the same folder

5. Load the scatter

6. Ensure the selected recovery is the same address as the scatter

Then download :fingers-crossed:

If success please report asap so we can get on with rooting.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Just one small problem how are you going to get CWM recovery on your device :laugh:

We can root it no problem but you have to be able to flash a recovery or boot.img to it first :confused: and SP Flashtool is our only option at the moment so we need to concentrate on that first :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] esrom02:
Will try this but just to make sure I'm reading it back right, in Read back, I should put 0x980000 in Start Address then 0x500000 in Length, right? base on this scatter file.

Edit: Still no luck :(

Screenshot: (Partition Size Change)

Begin Address: 0x00980000

End Address: 0x00E7FFFF
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
SP Flashtool v2 will not do a read back Its just for flashing so please do not bother. :eek:

The scatter file looks fine and the recovery.img you uploaded also looks good too :good:

Please just follow the instructions and flash back the recovery you made if all works well we will move to the next step ;)

:cool:

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

Did use the version I gave you or did you rename the SP flashtool I notice it says v2/mtk_AllinOne_DA.bin

It should read v2.1134.00/mtk_AllinOne_DA.bin

and it should have a readback tab and memory test tab

PLEASE use the version i gave you

and please make all settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] esrom02:
yeah I used the one you gave I just renamed the folder to SPFTv2.. I dunno why read back tab and memory test tab was not in the screenie, but before download, they are there.. and yes, I followed your instruction thoroughly.. or renaming the folder affects that too?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Ok please try it without renaming :) There maybe some scripts that SP flashtool use's that do not get loaded because it can't find them anymore. :eek:

Some security may also block some of scripts from running too. Also Please run as Administrator :good:

Ok, I found out what's causing the error:

You should open the scatterfile which you are using, and do a search for __NODL_SECCNFG and rename that to __NODL_SECCFG.

This should fix your problem!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmoegele:
If you get this error your Scatter file does not match to your installed rom.

So be very carefully and try to get the right full backup or origin Rom for exact your Phone Model!!!

Otherwise you will brick your device!!!!

Once you have the right Rom make complete Flash with SPFTools.

I had downloaded the root tool such as MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.3.4 and installed the ADB driver to root my N9588 china make Handphone which look like a note 2, but unable to root the phone at all. When I click the root tab, the software instructed me to select "Restore my data" on the phone but before I can select -> the phone black up and connot restart untill I remove the battery. No way to root. I also tried software such as TPSparkyRoot, Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18, SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse - during the second reboot with error message "Permission Denied" - (are you root?). The programe ended but the phone still not rooted. Can you teach me how to do it? Willing to contribute if you could help. Thanks.:rolleyes:

I followed this and then flashed the modded boot that was created automatically :) However it gave me an error saying the CWRM is not suitable for my device....

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5

So can you possibly help me getting recovery installed? What information do i need to provide? I have followed all your guides including making a custom recovery with michfood-port-TWRP-2.4.4.0 by javum, i have tried 10 or so other methods and for the life of me I can't get recovery working.

Holding volume up just brings up the message 1. Recovery 2. Fastboot 3. Normal - selecting recovery doesn't work and it just reboots into the system.

Is there anyway I can get recovery working? I can post my ROM, phone info etc whatever you need to help me out would be really appreciated!

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mightymouse2045:
Solved - yeah baby!!!!

Thanks again to you I found another one of your posts to port CWM from boot.img and YES that one works :)

What I have found from going through absolutely everything without success, but finally stumbling on the solution... to make it simple I think for the majority of 6575 & 6577 phones this solution will work for them all:

1. Your post detailing the The SP Flash tool & MTK Droid Tool solution - If ROOT button doesn't work then get a full ROM image from 0x00000 to cache partition (if ext4), run the ROM file through MTK Droid, download the modified boot.img and recovery.img and voila you are able to root and have recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5

2. IF the MTK Droid Tool fails to automatically create the recovery.img (like mine did), or the one in the above step doesn't work then run the CWRM from boot.img tool again located in your post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1825722

Now my last step is to reformat the phone's data partition but again I am having problems with the tools you mentioned in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914184

There was another post of yours as well that linked the above flash hack to increase usrdata to 2gb and 512mb for internal however i tried it and it doesn't work. My phones mount points are different to the ones in the script. I changed those mount points in the script but I am sure EBR1 includes a partition table that would reference the mount points or block devices etc in some way that is incompatible with my phones layout.

I have also tried the repartition.apk that is mentioned in another of your posts - that doesn't work for me also.

Can you tell me a way of editing or creating my own EBR1 partition file - then i can upload a modified flash.zip file for people with my layout MT6575:
