So, I got my phone 2 weeks ago and I want to root it, But tried every possible rooting software and keep failing, So I want to try a different method using a custom recovery, I want to flash it using SP flash tool, I'm just missing the right recovery.img file !, Can anyone plz provide it ?
And why does my Build Number look weird?
UPDATE : Tried creating CWM, But got stuck in SP Flash with BROM ERROR: S_DA_INVALID_BEGIN_ADDR (3032) ?

you need to create a backup in order to extract your stock recovery image. Then you use MTK Droid Tools to generate a compatible CWM recovery. It will be named as some patched recovery, which you will rename as simply "recovery".
copy that file to a new folder along with your scatter file and use SP Flash Tool to install it.
Then you can install SuperSU via CWM, update binaries in the SuperSU app, and you should be rooted.
here is a detailed tutorial for doing the backup and generating the CWM [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
Also, there is a newer version of MTK Droid Tools. v2.5.3. use that instead. you can find it in the MTK General Tools Section in this forum.
good luck!
1. Thanks for the Reply !
2. The thing is that My phone connect fine to every other Software (Including MTK) But will not connect to SP Flash even though I turn the phone off and take off battery for few seconds ! Any Idea why ?
Did you generate the scatter file from your phone?
It is odd what the error says.
With connecting to sp flash tool, the problem is often drivers.
You must install them correctly. First take them all out. Uninstall in windows control panel and use usbdeview to remove the device ids. You must look for anything that sounds like your phone. It can be anything that says mediatek or CDC or adb vcom or huawei. Right click and uninstall them.
After that you must install drivers fresh. Then now use sp flash tool.
Okay, I managed to get past that error after fixing some drivers, Now after installing everything I still can't enter Recovery mode, and the phone won't turn on ! I think it got Hard Brick
how did you get bricked? when you flashed the CWM? which part did you get at? were you able to make the backup first?
try this [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
should be international version: wcdma... but not very sure.
there is also this [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]&mod=detail&mid=32 they say it should work, but if you have the international version, you must unlock the bootloader first.
i got very confused by the many many versions on the internet, so i ask you kindly to take a look first about the ROMs in the links.
i wouldn't want to cause you more grief...
Before I installed the CWM I formatted the Phone using SP Flash, Now I can't enter the Download mode or recovery or fastboot, I can only Flash using SP Flash !, But couldn't find the right stock, In my first Post I posted everything about the phone Version. And I already tried the Firmewares you gave me, But I got Wrong Chip error in SP Flash ?
