Hi!

I'm trying to do this myself, but I can't seem to install the drivers properly. Did you use 64-bit windows 7? And which drivers did you use?

Cause I used "SPREADTRUM SCI-USB2Serial-version-1.5.6.1" which I found via Google search, and none of the drivers I found are not digitally signed. That means they won't install properly in win 64-bit.

I only get: SCI USB2Serial (COM3) and SciCmpst Diaog (COM4), and they are both still with the yellow exclamation mark.

Anyone got a good tip for me?

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] sergimas:
I've managed to install them on a 32-bit windows 7. Everything I tried on 64-bit just showed the yellow mark, although they where the x64 version drivers.

Regarding the rooting process, I followed this method (As I cannot post outside links yet, just Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") and it worked at last. It's written in portuguese but it's not too difficult to follow looking at the video.

I hope it helps a bit.

Now I was trying to install a custom CWM recovery, prior to install a custom ROM, but I really don't know which one should I use (nor CWM recovery nor ROM) :eek:

If someone can point me in any directions on how to continue, it would be great.

I guess it won't be the same, but I was having problems with my Play Store also. It did not loaded anything, just giving "Unable to connect" problems, and it was solved (momentarily) uninstalling all updates. That's going back to Android Market, though it updates itself afterwards to Play Store again. You can do it in Applicatins > Manage Applications > Google Play Store, and push the button "Uninstall updates".

As I said, i think it's not the same issue, but I just wanted to share it, just in case.

Where to find the drivers?

Hi, Everyone!

I also have a Spreadtrum S930 phone. My problem is I can't even locate the SCI general and the SCI vendor drivers... Can somebody post a link or tell me where to find these drivers? Sorry... absolute noob here. :) Thanks.

Will
[General Questions and Answers] sergimas:
You can find a them here for example ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 (it's a 7zip file).

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] will_power00:
I got the drivers. They work. Thanks, Sergimas.
[General Questions and Answers] playvinci:
Playvinci

Is this how you added your drivers in the .ini file? Also did you have problems loading the drivers because when I installed it (win 7 64bit) it says its unsigned and said something about having a problem installing it. so that when i installed it, it looks like the picture below. would be great if you could post a pic tutorial. btw i can run my adb anywhere since i configured it for fastboot but i still cant find my device. bummer.
[General Questions and Answers] sergimas:
In my case, at last I got a win 7 32bit, because I wasn't able to make it work on my 64bit.

I followed this tutorial (Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") to root it, which points to the drivers ( ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 ). Though this zip file has 64bit drivers, in my case they didn't work properly, I saw the same screen you post.

Regarding the .ini file, you should put only (I have that myself):

0x1782

In brief, I got the drivers, installed them on a win 7 32bit, and followed the tutorial above. Don't know which could be the problem with my 64bit system :(

I hope it helps.

Anyway, now I'm stuck with my system rooted. I don't know how to flash a CWM recovery image, nor how to flash a new ROM, because every app I tried to do it ( Mobile Odin, ROM Customizer, ROM Manager,... ) does not detect the phone, so it is unsupported and does not let me flash it :eek:.

If someone could help it would be greatly apreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] playvinci:
Thanks Sergimas. I havent tried with a 32 bit yet. I guess I'll borrow my friend's laptop for this and see if it works. BTW... with the .ini file, when you said i should only put "0x1782", that does mean that's the only hex code i need to place on the file and delete the rest? Appreciate much for your reply.

EDIT: So i finally got my adb recognize the device and was able to list the device id however when i used the doomlord and/or he portugese root, it said it wasnt able to root it.

EDIT: Lol so yeah. I dont know what I did but i was able to root my phone using the x64 files that sergimas gave and get this, I still have the yellow icons on both spreadtrum coms (general and vendor)! I mean its freakin yellow!

(If you right click on prorperties it still would show this error) " The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

Driver is not intended for this platform.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."

I think what I did was, rather than update the first spreadtrum line with google's own file via sdk, I used the composite device that came from "jungo". Then I loaded Doomlord and viola it granted me superuser access! And just when I was about to give up. Lmao.
[General Questions and Answers] sergimas:
Happy to read it, I didn't even try it with the yellow marks :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] H_Bler:
Thanks but as you said yourself, it's not the same issue :/

I've made some discoveries regarding the problem.

After i've got the root access i removed some system apps that i wouldn't use or that i wanted update the system app.

These are the removed apps:

- Download Provider UI

- Email

- ES File Explorer

- My Favorites

- Playtalk

- Water Locker

- Sprd Note

After that the phone bricked, i've made a forced reboot via adb, and when it came back the screen didn't stop blinking, so i've put everything back and started removing one by one, it turned out that the "Playtalk" was the one that couldn't be removed.

With the issue solved, i discoverd that my market/play store didn't work, and that i could'nt realize any download from the browser, so I re-installed everything again and did a factory reset, but it didn't work to solve the problem, after searching a lot, I noted that in my system apps there is no "dowload provider.apk" only the "download provider ui.apk" that i removed in the beginning, and i'm thinking thats the problem with browser, but I don't know if it is the same problem of the market/play store because it don't even open, when i tap the icon, the screen shows: Loading, then it closes, with the "the application stopped unexpectedly" but it don't even "wait" for me to force stop, I just get back to the app laucher screen.

So, If anyone has anything for me to try to solve the issue, it will be awesome 'cause i'm trying to solve it more than 2 weeks.

PS. I already tried to install the "download provider.apk" but every version I try i get the same two problems:

- Incompatible Shared User

or

- Older SDK.

Ps 2. Regarding the market/play store issue, i already tried to clear the data/cache and neither of them work.

This cell is impossible to root!
[General Questions and Answers] Chico_PinoyCracker:
Hi guys I've rooted this unit twice.

Hey I see new troubled posts here,

I've rooted this before using the Portuguese Method.

After months of using the phone, I accidentally bricked it by deleting a system app.

I had bought a new one. Same model.

I realized that the Portuguese Method is only PARTIAL ROOTING, that's why everybody is having a hard time with it.

So now I know the exact method of rooting it (this is a supplementary post to our earlier posts so please read it again)

1. Make sure device IDs are correct and recognizable (new ones have the certificates already)

2. Run ADB.exe

3. RUN DOOMLORD

3. RUN PORTUGUESE METHOD

-as you can see, you have to do both because it can't install BusyBox via Portuguese Method.

Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure I have the same phone (same specs as your first post) so, not sure why I'm getting the same message as ANAKNGPUTA.

When I run it (DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su) as an admin, I get 'The system cannot find the specified path.'.

I've also tried:

ICS Root Unlocker 1.0 - pretty much the same thing

[General Questions and Answers] sergimas:
Well, I mainly followed what this post says (i'm sure you've done this, but just in case):

1º: Download ADB Drivers (there's a link on the page, i cannot reproduce it here)

2º: Extract everything somewhere

3º: Connect your Android device with USB debugging mode enabled

4º: Open your Device Manager (Control panel > Device Manager )

5º: Right click your android device (surely there're three of them, in Other Devices as "Spreadtrum phone" ) and select "Update driver"

6º: Select "Browse my computer for driver software". Then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Then "Have Disk..." and you browse till you find where you have extracted the drivers of point 1.

7º: Click in next

8º: The driver gets installed

After everything has installed correctly, reboot your computer just to make sure the driver was installed and loaded correctly.

Place Hardware ID VID_xxxx in {user home}/.android/adb_usb.ini. (Take a look at the three or four first posts of the thread, H_Bler explains this there)

You can check if everything worked correctly with the ADB tools. In a command prompt, type "adb devices" and it should show your device and its number.

Gaining Root:

Download the file Root.exe (it's at the beginning of the article)

Make sure your device is connected with USB debugging mode enabled and open Root.exe

Everything will follow to a command prompt with a message:

"script root

Se a lista de devices estiver vazia, o script nao vai funcionar...

List of devices attached

(O seu dispositivo terá que aparecer aqui em baixo)

Deseja ter acesso root

[n] Deixar para depois"

Write "s", push enter and the root process will begin...

After all that i got my device with root. I've to say that i had this done twice (dunno what failed at first, but everything went ok the second time), and i had it rooted.

I don't know what more to say, that's everything I did, I hope it works for you.

[General Questions and Answers] Muhilica:
Sorry to barge in like this but a friend of mine recently bought a phone like this and now it's stuck in a boot loop (for reasons unknown). It was stock, not rooted.

The only thing we could do is POWER+VOL. DOWN to get to a Triangle + Exclamation sign. Stock recovery I presume. But we're stuck these since nothing happens afterwards.

Trying to connect the phone while in stock recovery we installed the drivers required, changed the ID in adb_usb (0x1782 i think) but to no avail. I see that it does only discover the phone on two ports, and not the ADB Interface, so that must be the cause of the problem.

adb devices gives a blank list.

Spreadtrum S560

I've bought a spreadtrum S560 phone with Android 4.03. It's a very cheap phone with 3,5'' display and very good characteristics. It's very sold this Xmas. I want to root it, and tried everything --all that you say and many more--. I hav no problem with the drivers because if you install Pdanet.exe on the PC it finds correctly the phone and everything. Then you try to unlook whith all the usual applicattions and the only that almost does it is the unlookroot.exe . With this program after you install the pdanet.exe, the unlookroot finds de device and shows it as sprd S560 4.0.3. So it seems to be working properly. The problem is when it starts making its work that gives an error -- Failed to get shell root-- twice.

This program has no support for this problem.

¿Does anybody has the same phone?

¿Did you try to root it?

Is there any other program to probe it.

I tried superoneclick, Doomlord v3 and v4. Nothing works.

I think that the problem isnt the drivers because they seem to work ok.

Drivers for SpreadTrum Phones

Download and Install small software i.e. 'PdaNet for Android'. It will search suitable drivers for your device and install it automatically. You will see Android ADB Device or so.... in your Device Manager.

Thereafter open properties of your device from Device Manager. Go to 'Details' Tab and change 'Property' to Hardware Id....

You can see Device id.... some thing like this

USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&REV_0229&MI_02

USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02

Just copy these. Go the android folder in your user folder. If adb_usb.ini file exists already, modify it suitable . If not, create a new abd_usb.ini file through NotePad. You may open NotePad and paste above lines in file and save file as adb_usb.ini under android folder. Your abd_usb.ini file should contain lines like below:

USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&REV_0229&MI_02

USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02

0x1782

0x5D04

Your ADB prompt will start showing device now.

Solution

Hi guys, total noob here.

I found a solution to the "read only" error you described. I've also been getting the same errors from DoomTool til I tried the Portuguese method from sergimas (download the root.exe file).

What I did was copy the adb files from the orignal link (1st page) that H_Bler posted and I overwritten the adb files from the root.exe folders. --> This solved the ADB server out of date issue.

My ADB Composite Interface certificates were from google (Android SDK bundle).

Ran root.exe then I got an 'error device not found'... 'Til I replugged my Android Device, waited for a few minutes and I ran root.exe once more.

I thought all hope was lost then VOILA! SUPERUSER!!!
