5. Unzip file SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212.rar and run Flash_tool.exe
   
6. Click on "Scatter-loading" button, navigate to folder you have unzipped "G9000_CWM_Recovery.rar" file and select file "MT6592_Android_scatter.txt"
   
7. Be sure that ONLY "RECOVERY" is checked and the location is pointing to file "MT6592_Android_scatter.txt".
   
8. Now press the "Download" button.
   
9. A warning will come up saying not all boxes are checked. Click ‘Yes’.
   
10. Wait about 5 to 10 seconds.
    
11. Attach your phone to the PC using a USB cable (do not turn on the phone yet), and you will see the progress bar at the status bar of the program changing values.
    
12. Wait until a green circle icon appears on the SP_Flash_Tool program.
    
13. When you see the green circle, close the program and dettach the phone.
    
14. Turn on the phone. Congratulations, now you have CWM recovery that we will use to root the phone.

Hi

I do recognise humour but can I make a tiny suggestion to your disclaimer.

Some people use google translate as English is not their first language.

Convert all your stuff in Disclaimer to one simple line please.

Try at own risk.

feel free to ignore me.

2) if they have a backup of stock recovery and stock ROM they can wipe all and get back to original state if they intend to send phone back for recovery. But that is too much information. Keep it simple and the World becomes simple.

Who wants to be sane in this world any way.......see I can be humourous.

good luck
