For All the Ones Who Are Facing Issues

Your Collective Post Is Very Useful!

As for others who are facing issues:

IMP: Before Proceeding.. Charge the Battery. Preferably to more than 90%. Use Wall Charger.. it offers a much faster charging than the PC based USB Charging.

1) Make Sure you have installed ALL The Drivers Correctly.

2) It is Better To Use Windows 7 (I used 64 Bit) as it easily install all drivers correctly & automatically. If a PC is not working as it should, get access to a PC with Win 7 for the time being.

3) The Rooting App should work at the first go itself. If its not, don't get discouraged. Reboot PC, connect Your Phone & DO NOT Select USB Storage Or Any other option. The Phone has a dedicated partition which acts as a Virtual CD-ROM drive (Look in My Computer & you will see). For safety sake you can choose to Double-Click & let the installation of drivers begin.

4) IMP: Remember to Switch on 'Debugging Mode'. It is Located in Settings--> Developer Options-->USB Debugging (Click Yes To The Prompt)

5) Extract the 'Root 4 Bin4ry' (Rooting Tool) in C drive & keep the folder name VERY SIMPLE. I named it ROOT. Extract ALL files here. Do not Click Extract To <Name Of The File>

6) After You Click '1' To Root, WAIT... The Script will Do its Thing. Watch for When It Says 'Please Look At Your Device & Click RESTORE'

7) Now Click RESTORE on your Phone (Its the Option at Lower Right Hand Corner). Click Yes / OK to The Prompts.

8) Your Phone Will Reboot

9) Have Patience & Wait For it to Reboot Completely.

10) Now Go to Apps & Check For App Called SuperSU.

11) Now Go To Play Store & Download Root Checker (The Free Version is Fine). Install it & Run.

12) Click On Verify Root. A Pop-Up Will Appear Asking for Permission to Allow Root Access. Click Yes / OK to It & you should get a confirmation about ROOT.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For CWM. (After Rooting Is Successful)

1) Download CWM Recovery Image to your computer. (hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?aak733itivap95w) - Replace hxxp with http

2) Rename the Downloaded File To Recovery (Make Sure You have not renamed it to Recovery.img.img. If you can See the extension then ONLY rename the File To Recovery. There Should Be only 1 .img extension)

3) Connect Your Phone & Switch On USB Mass Storage Mode.

4) Copy The Recovery.img File to Root (i.e. copy it to the drive & not in any folder in the drive) of your SD Card (preferably external SD Card)

IMP: After Copy.. Click On Switch Off USB Mass Storage & Disconnect the Phone From the USB Cable.

5) Now Go to Google Play Store & Search For MobileUncle MTK Tools. Download & Install It.

6) Now Run MobileUncle MTK Tools. The app will request Root Access For the First Time..... Grant It.

7) Now Click on 'Recovery Update'.

8) The appearing Window will have Recover.img located at the top. DO NOT Select ANYTHING Else. If you do not see Recovery.img as the first option.. DO NOT Proceed. Close the App & Repeat the Copy-Paste Procedure of the Recovery.img.. It is of 6 MB approximately.

9) Now When You SEE Recovery.img file in the window... Select It

10) The App will ask you to confirm the flash.. Click Yes / OK & The App will Flash Recovery. Have Patience.. It doesn't take Long

11) Once Flashed.. The app will pop-up a window saying it will now boot the phone into recovery.. Click OK / Yes & your Phone should boot into recovery successfully. You should see the DOS like screen on your Phone with multiple options.

Now the Process To Enter the CWM Recovery Mode is quite simple.. but requires steady hands. Make sure you have pushed BOTH the Volume UP & Volume DOWN Buttons Together. Then Press the Power Button.. Continue Pressing it till the Phone Screen Comes On.

At This juncture there will be only TWO Lines displayed at the Upper Left Corner:

Press Volume UP To Enter Recovery

Press Volume Down To Enter Factory Mode

Gently Press Volume Up & You Will Enter CWM Recovery.

In case you feel uncomfortable with the Key Presses.. the MobileUncle MTK Tools has a simple Option to 'Boot Into Recovery'. Select It & The Phone will boot into Recovery!
