HI all,

I saw the need of reposting my post #282 (main ZOPO ZP999 thread) for people who want to root, flash recovery or for some reason lost control of their precious Zopo and want to regain it :)

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

I have noticed that the link sometimes is unavailable : Mod edit sales link removed

Therefore i post it here again : also THANKS TO JASPER===JG77 and Ghost45

This is what you have to do:

- Preferably use a Windows 7 (x32 or x64) system

- Download and install drivers http://www.4shared.com/rar/f0a9TeP8ba/Zopo_ZP999-3X_32-64bit.html

- Download the firmware and extract it (a stock ROM) http://www.zopomobileshop.com/content/9-download-zopo-mobile-latest-rom

- Download a recovery (I used CarlivTouch) http://www.4shared.com/file/xKa5nYyuce/recovery_CarlivTouch_30_ZP999.html

- Download SP Flashtool and extract http://www.4shared.com/zip/FlMUfELsba/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v514.html

- Download SuperSu https://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip

- Boot your phone and connect to your PC and copy the SuperSu zip to your SD (I used a micro SDcard and not phone storage)

- Disconnect and shutdown the phone

- Start SP Flashtool (as administrator)

- Click 'Scatter-Loading' and select the 'MT6595_Android_Scatter.txt' from the downloaded Firmware! Picture 1

- Remove all selections except (!) recovery

- Click on the location of the recovery

- Select the custom downloaded recovery file (in my case recovery_CarlivTouch_30_ZP999.img) Picture 2

- Remove the battery from your phone (DON'T CONNECT YET) (battery pull :not necessary i think...but does not harm )

- Make sure you see 'Download Only' in SP Flashtool and click the 'Download' button

- Now connect your phone to your computer and leave the battery out of it!

- Wait till you see a green sign Picture 3

- Disconnect your phone but the battery back in but (!) DON'T BOOT

- Connect the phone to a charger and wait till it shows the battery level

- Press the buttons Volume-Up and Power and hold them

- After the first Zopo screen release Power (I kept holding Volume-Up)

- If all is well you now see the custom recovery! (you can let go of the volume button ) (if it didn't work the first time because of wrong timing, just shut down again and retry)

- Immediately install the SuperSU ZIP file (install zip-> Choose zip from /storgage/sdcard1)

- When done choose reboot and if you get questions about fixing to keep the custom recovery and fix root, say YES

- Let it boot into Android and Check ROOT with f.e. rootchecker

- Go to Google Play Store and install Busybox (not necessary)

- Start Busybox and make sure you give it Root right (not necessary)

- Press Install, if it fails the first time do it a second time. You should see an OK message if all is well. (not necessary)

- Reboot your phone, and PRESTO, your phone is rooted.

If you would install MobileUncle Tools from Google Play Store you can see you are rooted. (Here you allways can go in recovery without any problems)

Thanksbutton appreciated :)
