Revision 1 - People to be added to credits for leehed source, currently untested, concept only

Before anything try and boot into any form of recovery mode and backup if possible!

DISABLE UAC in WINDOWS 7

RIGHT CLICK RUN AS ADMIN ON ALL FILES

ALLOW NON TRUSTED DRIVER INSTALLATION (Google this if unsure)

On the phone install anububu on pc phone. - See what model it detects as and note it down.

Run MTK DROID TOOLS and connect phone see if drivers After a few seconds, the box should turn blue, and it should say "Apollo ONE or Other Name " besides it. The drivers are working.

If not try the other drivers in the drivers folder using device manager, there are many tutorials for this I cba typing one im so tired! and make sure you have the only trusted drivers thing turned off, if you constantly get unknown driver then your out of look and wil have to try and source some yourself.

Win7 (This method has not been tested by myself. Confirmation required.)

HOW TO MANUALLY INSTALL ANY DRIVERS IF NEEDED

a - Downloading This tool Called EASYBCD

b - Use it to restart your computer in advanced boot mode. (PRESSING F8 WHILST BOOTING UNTIL YOU GET THE OPTION FOR Disable signed driver enforcement)-Must be done everytime you wanna root a phone with this method.

c - Follow instructions and disable SDE.

d

Manually install drivers, if above did not work (Yellow sign issue)

e Navigate to control panel - > Hardware and Sound - > Device Manager

f You should see a driver notice with a yellow warning sign next to it.

g Right click on it and choose "Update driver..".

h- Manually assign drivers, usually the choice furthest down.

i- In the window which should have appeared, navigate to the preload/Mt6590 folder and press OK.

j- If SDE is turned off, you should see a red warning window. This is normal, just accept the message prompted.

k- The drivers should now be successfully installed.

l - Once this is done open C:\Users\Hate\Desktop\Chinese Droid Rooting\MTKROOT TOOLS\Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v28\runme.bat Hope it ****ing works if so your rooted, If not try this next few steps, AGAIN at your own risk, no need to format just continue from here.

0 - Use PC to copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v.1.25.zip to the root of SD CARD, do not unpack just leave whole zip there.

1 - Turn off your phone, remove your battery. (Do not connect your phone to the computer yet!)

2 - Navigate to the "SP Flash Tool" folder, and run the tool.

3 - On the right side of the tool, there should be a button, iconed with a folder, named "Scatter-Loading". Click this.

4 - Navigate to the "Yulypis Recovery" folder, and double-click on the "Mt6589_Android_scatter-emmc.txt".

5 - You should be back at the SP Flash Tool start-screen, and there should have appeared a list of text and hex-codes.

6 - The "Recovery" line, should be ticked off, and preloader should be red.

7 - Now, click on the button named "Download", with a blue arrow on it. Press "YES" on the NOT ALL images has been correctly loaded warning.

8 - Connect your phone to a USB 2.0, with removed battery. The program should now work, and if drivers is set up correctly, the 0% will turn 100% and a green circle will appear in the middle of the screen. If your phone disconnects before the flashing tool is able to recognize your device, try putting the battery back into the phone before running SP Flash tool. Additionally, if this doesn't work, try using different drivers in the drivers folder

9 - Disconnect your K6589 from the computer when you see the green circle, insert the battery and boot the phone. Wait for it to get to the start screen.

11 - Installing SuperSU through Yulypis recovery

12 - Run "MtkDroidTools.exe" from the folder.

13 - Connect your device, and after a few seconds, information about your device should appear.

14 - Click on reboot, on the mtkDroidTools start-screen, and choose "..recovery".

15 - If recovery has been properly flashed, your device will now enter Yulypis recovery. Blue, with english text.

16 - Controllers: "Power = Enter, Initialize", "Volume down = Scrolling down". (Don't remember if volume up was bugged or not)

17 - Enter "Install zip from SDcard" - > Navigate to the earlier copied "UPDATE-SuperSU-v.1.25.zip and initialize it by pressing the power button.

18 - Follow the on-screen instructions, and it should be prompted to install after 1-2 more screens.

19 - Reboot the device by clicking on "+++++back+++++" and "Reboot now / Reboot Device".

Either way I am going to smash this in a week or so when the phone arrives from DX and will keep people update.

Peace
