How to root Star S5 Mtk 6589

[yulypis]

no my location service dont work..but if ı install gapps ıt mybe work...

So it's missing in the base rom - yeah, gapps would probably solve it (or even just the networklocation.apk).
Any way I still can't install the mt65xx preloader - I really don't know how to do it, it's killing me because when the phone is on - I can see the information with mtk droid tools - even created a scatter file (just to compare) but when I turn it off for the actual flash - it's unrecognizable

Hi again,

I've managed (finally to trick windows 8 into installing the vcom...) to flash the chiniese green recovery - but I have no idea how to navigate and what option to choose - since I saw SD I went to that one and clicked with the power button - writes something in chinese in white and does nothing? Am I doing something wrong in here? Is there a special way to navigate that recovery?
Shoud I have placed the supersu zip in a specific folder? rename it perhaps to update.zip or something like that?

Thank you again for all your help
