Guess not after all,

Getting stuck in mtktools "Recovery and Boot"... I select recovery file, say no CWR, select boot.img and then I get "--- ERROR :Boot unthe public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com" and " --- task is complete ---"

The files have exactly the same modified date so I guess nothing gets written.

Anyone with the same error? Does MTKDroidTools needs Cygwin and if so, what packages?

Thanks to all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da5t3rati0n:
If you have pulled the boot and recovery images from your fone and have selected and modded them then when you reflash them back you need to select and change the stock images for the ones stored in the recovery folder in mtkdroid tools, the scatter file should read 6575 as this is the scatter read from the fone. Also if you have the wrong drivers or they are not installed properly you will get errors.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deimos255:
Don't know if the phone is not being read correctly in mtktools or if the process of extracting the rom is not working. but 'm not getting any img on mtktools recovery folder. Maybe my drivers are not the correct ones.

Could you please post links to the VCOM and 975 ADB Interface drivers you used?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbius:
Sorry, but I can't explain it more understandable like in the OP of the linked thread. You have to save your phone's partitions informations into the mentioned scatter file, because you'll have to use that saved scatter file later in the tutorial.

I used pdanet adb/vcom drivers (only that driver worked for me) and newer flash tools than in the tutorial.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da5t3rati0n:
Mtkdroid tools is the easier part making scatter and writing down infos also used for modding boot and recovery later, mtk requires adb drivers with the fone switched on in debugging mode, the more difficult part is sp flash tools, the fone needs to be switched off and you need the vcom driver installed before you start or you will get errors (if you can find a driver set

With a install exe this helps, just run the exe and the drivers install) look for mtk6575 adb and vcom drivers as this is the chipset used, not smart III as the fone is to new to be properly recognised in a search for such drivers. There isn't much point me writing a tutorial as it would read the same as chrizzy92's, this is the best sort of rooting as it gives you shell root not just some os root. I still do not recommend doing this unless you have some experience.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deimos255:
That's the weird part, mtktools reads phone correctly (I guess) and exports scatter file. Then in sptools I read the img's correctly (again - I guess) but passing them to mtktools gives an error.

Could you post your scatter file addresses for boot and recovery and your generated filesizes? I know that the phones might be different but at least the size and relative position of the sections within the rom can give me an idea of what is going wrong.

This is not my first time rooting a phone and I do know the underlying risks involved. Still, I appreciate you'r recommendation and concern.

Thanks once again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbius:
In the attachment you can see a Hungarian Vodafone Smart III (975N) scatter file and screenshot about it too.

There is also a screenshot - on the left side - about the original recovery and boot image files (showing their size in MB) and on the right side the modified recovery and boot image.

Hope it helps.

Hey rooting that phone only takes...3 minutes. download an APP called framaroot , install it , choose the Super User app you want

and Click "Boromir" after a few seconds or a minute or so, it will tell you that the phone was patched and you need to reboot it. reboot the phone and that's it. or by the way you wont find the app on Google play store.

Hi guys, i have this phone last 2 weeks ( Vodafone 975 in Greece ), and i'm trying to make a custom rom for this phone ..

I was having problems with mount points for updater script, before 3 days i managed to flash a rom but only to system.

Finally, yesterday i made a rom with cygwin kitchen and installed correctly, managed also to mount custpack , though i'm trying to solve a problem with wifi.

I think it needs some more job with updater script and everything will be fine.

I made changes to kernel ( boot.img ) through cygwin kitchen, rooted, deodexed and everything seems to work fine, except wifi.

I hope to solve it as soon as possible.

The other way to make a rom for this phone is to root your phone, do all changes that you want, dellete apps, edit build.prop, etc...

Then take a backup with MTK droid tools ( without user data and cache ) ... Mtk tools will make a zip and you're done.

This is not a rom zip, but most of all is a cwm recovery restore, which you can restore it through cwm , or with SP flash tool.

This is the easy way for everyone to make a zip ( rom ) , like this, but still i want to make a complete custom rom for this phone.

It's my first mediatek device ( and i think the last one also ) and i don't know too much yet ... So , if anybody knows anything more to help me, i will appreciate it a lot .

Regards!!!!

I am a bit confused. While topic is rooting, there is also described howto install CWM.

So maybe a stupid question:

- do I get root together with CWM or is this a complete separate issue?

- Is there a way of factory reset that is build-in the Stock-Rom (and how to access it)?

- what SU app is recommended? I found Superuser from CWM, ChainsDD, SuperSU. Which one works best (eq with Titanium?)

In this thread there are reports that are not consistent, which way to root is successfull.

I can remember

- Framaroot

- Cydia

- SuperOneClick

- MKTDroid Tools

Does this tools just allow to install a su-App or does they include a su-App?

----

One day later I have done my homework:

CWM is independent from root.

Framaroot App (1.9.3) works without a PC and brings a SU App with it.
