Good News!

Aftee alot of digging and flashing several recoveries I have successfully rooted the Cubot Note S.

Ill put a simple guide here to help:

Its your responsibility what happens to your phone, Mine works flawlessly, but be careful out there!

Requirements:

Cubot note S on 5.1 Lollipop

Smart Phone Flash Tool & MTK Scatter file (for the cubot) & Super SU.zip

In the first paragraph is a download link. Download the rar and extract it. All you need is the Smart Phone Flash tool and the MT scatter.txt. THE RECOVERY IN THIS DOES NOT WORK!

Modified TWRP recovery (there is omly one that works!

MTK VCOM drivers

spflashtool.com

Look for link that says "Download MediaTek VCOM Drivers" get the self installer package.

About recoveries,

Make sure you use the Modified one and not any other. The bundled one in the FlashTool and the other 3 floating in the internet do not work as they do not register touches. These are useless.

Okay, so now you have the files i would create a new folder with everything you need. So thats the Flash tool, scatter file and the modified TWRP recovery and phone drivers.

Before you start. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone somewhere. Also enable USB Debugging in the developer options. Finally TURN OFF YOUR PHONE. i.e hold power, power off. Dont plug your phone into the computer yet

On your computer install the VCOM drivers first. Now to get the drivers installed I had to modify the batch file to work on Win10. If your on Win10. Right click the install batch file and edit. Remove all the lines regarding the OS check and save and run the installer. A command window will notify of the install success

open the Flash tool. Now, the second box asks you to select a scatter file. Select the one you have.

Ensure the dropdown box is selected to Dowload Only.

Ensure that ONLY recovery is ticked, you dont wanna flash anything else accidently!

To summarise... now, you should have super su.zip on your phone. Smart phone flash tool setup with the scatter file and custom recovery loaded. Your ready to flash!

Before plugging your phone in click Download. Now plug your phone in. And you will see it will flash. Should take a few seconds youll see a bar going along the screen. A box will pop up saying download OK!

Now, apparantly your phone is meant to boot without any assistance. Mine did not. So in this case. Unplug from PC. Remove phone battery. Put back in and tey to enter recovery (Pwr + Vol Up) <<< tip, dont hold them in too long as my phone just kept resetting. Hold about half a second while the screen is on then let go

You should now be in twrp recovery. Swipe the notification and proceed to flash the super su zip. Once complete, remove your battery and DONT press restart. It wont work and your phone will freeze.

Put your battery back in and boot normally, you now have custom recovery and Root!!

Enjoy!
