[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BananasGuy:
Hi,

I recently bought a "H-mobile F1", Android 4.2.2, Chipset MTK6572, but I fail to root it.

The link to the store where I bought the phone:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/H-mo...al-Core-CPU-Android-4-2-Smart/2039246396.html

I tried VRoot, when VRoot is finished, it reboots my phone but no result. The "Root Checker Basic" apk that I installed still says that the device is not rooted.

I tried towelroot, but when I press the button "make it rain", the app closes itself.

I tried MTKDroidTools, but it gives:

--->>> Connect to device <<<---
--- ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
--- ATTENTION! UBIFS FileSystem !

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47005386&postcount=630
--- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!

I tried Framaroot, it gives only the "Aragorn" option, which gives "Error #7".

Is there any chance I will ever be able to root this phone?

More technical details, when I run a "getprop" command in a adb shell:
