bigrammy reply: soulfreem the link to the phone is dead I get a 404 error so if you can give some proper details it would be of help. There are many i9300 versions "Galaxy SIII copys :eek: I have one my self so if its the same model no problem :victory:

@Intex12345 "Please specify which Flash Tool should I use to read back recovery.img? I am absolutely new to android so please guide me specifically. Be kind to be patient with me. Guide me step by step."

bigrammy reply: Intex12345 Please give your phone details as much as possible buddy CPU etc. There are many ways to root but it all depends on your device. Also a link to the phone will help also.:good:

Haha, glad you guys find it useful... :D

i always like to mention credits over & over again, its my way of showing gratitude & Kowtow to these great DEVs for sharing it at the first place or this TWRP port wouldn't have exists...

Koush (cwm) -> Dees_Troy & TeamWin (TWRP) -> Javum (Compile TWRP to work on MT6575/ 77) -> Michfood -> Repack Util (Windows drag & drop Unpack/ Repack boot/ recovery for MT65xx)

And there you have it, without one another, TWRP wouldn't have work on MT6575/ 77 so Kudos to these great DEVs...

Hello again to all the Masters :)

had some free time(sold my galaxy s2 and waiting for nexus 4 :laugh:) so started to have some fun with girlfriends h2000+ to root it.

these are the specs from mtk droid tools 3.0

root shell says its rooted

Hardware : MT6577

Uboot build v : MAIN2.2.ubt.2757

LCD Driver IC : 1-otm8018b_ykl_truly_tft3P4608_dsi_fwvga

when i try to copy superuser.apk through adb terminal i get this

i also tried the twrp manual rooting method and when i try to copy the superuser.apk to system/app i get a failed transfer and i havent forgot to

mount system.

so maybe "system" is unwritable?

i ported twrp recovery NOT from my stock recovery but from a previous cwm recovery i have.maybe this is the problem?

@edit i made a reboot now and installed superuser.apk from filemanager(simple install) and now it seems to have root :confused:

i can use titanium backup and adfree.Titanium gives some false messages about "su binary has no optimal access rights which may cause problems"

thanks again for the special help :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
So, after backing up the whole system with TWRP I may look for a new ROM that fits Star N9330 Note2 MTK6577? Isn't it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
This thread has becoming like a rojak thread, completely deviated from its title...

The answer is Yes, provided new ROM is in update.zip format & NO if its in SP Flash Tool format...

There is a Chinese proverb, Even the tallest tower started from the ground level so that thread to start off is here & its also under my signature... ;)

Learn to cook your stock ROM first before trying any new ROM... :D

@smanet78 & thodoris

i'm eager to know why H2000+ is refusing all kinds of root, my best guest is that it must be pre-rooted with some Chinese root su with a different name thats why all root.zip fail to delete that file...So i suspect, these two su is fighting with each other for Superuser.apk, thats why it fail the root test...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Hi,

superuser Binary should be here in /system/xbin/su can you check to see if the superuser apk created it. You may have to uninstall the reinstall it after a wipe. Or even use a different SU.

If you get a similar problem with Busybox also I used this Busybox installer and it worked give it a try its free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

Hi guys was given a STAR NOTE MT6577 N9330/N7100 Note 2 and rooted the phone, as a result it lost its emei folder and had to send it for repair, as there was no fix for this, i was a total idiot and did not or know how to do a back up of the phone, i have since had recieved the phone back from the supplier and are very keen to root it again, however once bitten twice shy, so is there a way i could make a total backup of the phone, in case this happens again.

This is the version:

it's Android 4.1.1 (Jb). My wife had a fake Jb (ics) and root was not a problem. With this most recent version I did not succed on rooting.

I've tried :

- Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.7

- MTKdroidTools_v230 (created scatter file; temp root procedure start, but no restore button appears on the phone and it automatically reboots one time with no succes; backup button stays disabled!)

- manual root via adb, can't mount system (it says no mount available)

- SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.7 : loaded my scatter file and recovery.img CWM patched from Bruno .. but when I load scatter file I can see only 00 memory address only and no other address!

- Unlock root - no root

Someone can share other ideas for JB on this phone ??

I have the exact same problem. I've been working on rooting this phone for over 6 hours and keep running into problems.

Another interesting phenomena: the phone is recognized by the computer (installed the drivers) for file transfer, it recognizes it when I plug it in with no batter, but it doesn't recognize it in download mode (boot with volume key & power button).

I've used 'porting CWRM procedure' :

1) extracted scatter file (via ADB) and extracted original recovery.img (via SP Flash Tool and scatter file -> Read back)

2) used dsixda_cygwin + Android-Kitchen 218 + MT65xx plugin (Port-CWMR-6012-MT6575-77) to get modded recovery.img

3) with SP Flash Tool I've uploaded modded recovery.img to phone (loading my scatter file first).

4) booting in new recovery mode, I've made a back up (important!)

5) then in CWM, I've used install .zip from SD menu to load .zip file Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed (root exploit and superuser app)

6) rebooted in normal mode and I got ROOT !

MTK6577 drivers proper install

Hi follow this tut step by step to get these MTK6577 drivers installed correctly. http://http://en.zopomobile.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=123&sid=a55afd775a8b20b6e7e9c634f952d75b

Just one thing to note my drivers did not install until I put the battery back in. It will become clear when following the tut.

Sorry to link to a outside forum I am sure there is one on xda somewhere. :(

I was told by a seller that all HERO Hxxxx devices are Zopo export brand although that could be a bunch of BS. Zopo's support is top class and they help in every way even rooting and bug fixes I don't know if the roots and fixes would work on the aforementioned devices though.

We really need to find the original recovery.img for your device could you email qmobile customer services and tell them your device will not boot into recovery and gets stuck and could they please send you the recovery.img ;) you never know they may fall for it and send it to you.

I will upload one more recovery.img file to the same folder and you can try :fingers-crossed: I think it may work it is named sii recovery try it & report back.

I am afraid it is just a case of keep searching and flashing until we find one that works with your device if we had the original it would be no problem :victory:

Please only put stuff on here if you know its 100% safe and where it came from I am just a normal guy trying to help our friends and need to trust the files & people we try to help so please give more details of the recovery.img.
