... after a wrong change in shellres.dll.049.mui !
The hex editor seems not so good... Maybe I didn't use it properly.
Activesync cannot detect the mobile because of that change.
I have the right file on my computer and on my phone (in Temp folder).
I have not safe mode tool installed on the mobile.
I think that a hard reset is not useful because I changed a ROM file.
So, how to recover the file ?
Thanks for your help !

Try to reinstall the ROM
If Activesync will not read your phone, then perform a hard reset. The hex editor did not modify the original copy of the file stored in ROM, so that should work.
It also helps to say which phone you have...
I have an Herald with WM6
The file I modified was marked as "ROM file" and I used ROMExtractor to make changes. So, where is the original file in the ROM ?
And how to re-install the original ROM if Windows desn't start ?
I also have the CD with the original WM6.

If Windows will not start, you should be able to enter the bootloader manually and flash from there. However, I do not have any experience with the Herald, so don't quote me on that.
Herald seems similar to many HTCs with a material keyboard
What do you mean when you say "enter the bootloader manually" ? What is the bootloader ?
And what about "flash from there" ?
Does the bootloader allow to start the mobile with safe mode like a computer, with similar DOS commands ? That should be nice, mainly when we have a material kbd !
Because I need only to copy a file from a folder \temp to \windows ...
I'm making some progress...
Ok for bootloader : I'm able to start the mobile with bootloader (with Herald, the key combination is Power+Camera+CommManager keys, without stylus).
So, I would like to only restore one file without installing WM. Is it possible to make a file copy from the mobile, or from a computer.
The computer now recognizes a connection to the USB port, but ActiveSync doesn't.
Any idea about using the bootloader or a safe mode ?
I have access to the mobile (starting with 3 colors stripes) from my computer. But how to access to the files on the device ?
How to access files without ActiveSync
I made a bad change in shellres.dll.0409.mui and my device (Herald) cannot boot normally. It is frozen on the Windows welcome page (WM6.0).
So, Activesync cannot detect the device.
I would like to copy the good file from my computer to the device, or to copy the good file which is still installed on my device in \Temp, to \windows.
Is it possible to do that with mtty, with the bootloader mode, or with another tool ?
I'm afraid that a hard reset is not useful because shellres.dll.0409.mui is a "ROM file" (ROM property checked, is it considered as the ROM component ?).
And I don't want to flash ou upgrade the ROM. It is Ok except shellres.
Thanks for your help !

Hi, i have a SPV5000 and i can put a lot of kind of 1.13 rom inside, like Qtek or Orange.
But impossible to put any 1.30 rom (orange, qtek french or WWE).
I've tried a lot of solution like "put the radio first" ... rest after.
Do you know if it's possible that my hardware version refuse this 1.30 rom?
I think the guy who sell me the spv sell me a pre-serie .
Thanks
The first question I want to ask is: How do you perform the upgrade? Do you use the No ID Tool? If not, try using it. Here is an instructions I made:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file in one folder if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your complete response
Of course i'm using the MaUpgradeUt_noID ... i have no error message during the process but at the end after the hard reset i have black screen.
and to try to only flash the radio I renames other files .
thanks
I steel don't enderstand ....

It won't hurt to try and update using Boot Loader Mode.
What do you mean "0.56"?
when I put my spv in bootloader mode, I can see on the screen :
on the top : USB

You might be right. Your exec must be one of the earlier version. I remeber some time ago, someone asked the same question you did. Maybe someone else can help. Have you tried upgrading it using my instructions?
thank you again and of course I've tryed your method.
every thing works with previous version but not on 1.30
i spent 3 days on it .....

I believe you need to find out how to upgrade the "Serial USB" application on your Universal for the No_ID Tool to work. Other than that you probably need a version of the No_ID Tool that works at an earlier version of the "Serial USB" version that you have. I'm sorry too, if I didn't help.

this is the way to flash it!
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen) 6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.
a thousand thanks to IMEI-CHECK~!!

just unzip the rom you downloaded and replace these two files
It says update utility is too old now.
I read the instructions again and now it worked.
Thanks for the help.
OMFG it worked on my S620! Thanks IMEICHECK!
Nice interface, and you can sync files now!
i tried this several times with no luck. i downloaded the two files and when i tried to run the romupdater prog nothing happens. the program will not start no matter how many times i try. any suggestions?
i think i got it to work now. i had downloaded the two files but had not copied them into the folder that had the extracted rom in it. i was getting stuck at the point where you pull cable out instead of selecting the unlock file. once i had already copied the files over i started all over again and when i got to the step where you disconnect and run the new romupgrade.exe i opened the file where the rom was and clicked the upgrade.exe file and the rest went very smooth and quick.
thanks to everyone that helped out!
but the beta rom is indeed unstable. i hope the final version will soon out!!
james_xl: what problems do you have with the rom?
"4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC).

I've been looking, but where is the unlocker program?
Hello,
you'll get the unlocker program with your imei-unlock-file from imei-check.co.uk.

For all those who are struggling to extract the contents of the '.abi' file for P552w and P565, here is a good news !!
I found these tools somewhere on a non-English forum, while searching for the decryption tools.
It is a command-line tool that directly works on the '.abi' file, and produces the '.nb0' file.
Part02.nb0 is the OS Image and Part03.nb0 is the ExtROM.
Let me know if you face any difficulties. I have used it on my P565 and successfully dumped the ROM (using imgfs tools on the the OS image). Working on the kitchen now....
Hoping for someone to come up with a kitchen for P552w/P565 soon...lol
cheers,
We also have decrypted P565's rom,and now the problem is how to encrypt the rom.Do you found any tools to encrypt it?

Well, decryption and encryption are both resolved. The only issue is to find where the IMGFS checksum is stored, and update the new checksum there. The '.abi' ROM Header is encrypted using some complicated encrption( not XOR ), and I have not been successful in decoding it as of now.
I see you're all experts here. Maybe you can help me.
I just want to know if it is possible to upgrade my italian ROM with an english one (P552w)?
If not I guess I can throw away my Asus while I don't speak Italian

Sure buddy, no need to throw it away...
Just follow these simple steps :
1. Ensure that your Storage card capacity does not exceed 2GB and is not corrupt.
2. Connect the device using activesync and wait till the connection is established.
3. Go to file explorer on your PC and enable the option to display hidden files and folders.
3. Take your English ROM ( .exe file) and execute it from your PC.
4. Press 'next' till you see the error message that the ROM is not meant for your device. Wait !!
5. While this message is still being displayed, go to the folder which contains your ROM ( .exe file). You will see a file called 'tmp_rom.abi'. Rename this file to 'GM5.abi'.
6. Now close the error message screen.
7. Copy 'GM5.abi' to your Storage card.
8. Now Press the "Navipad down"+ "Reset" buttons and keep them pressed until you see the reboot screen.
9. That's it. The ROM flashing process will begin automatically.
10. Do not press any button till the ROM flashing is in progress. The device wil reboot automatically.
Enjoy your new English ROM.
Disclaimer : Hope you are aware about the risks associated with the ROM flashing process.
First of all, thanks rishi for your help, but in my case something doesn't work.
I get to the boot screen where it says that it can not find the file (but it is on the card).
I followed all the steps (including 1GB storage card) but always the same, no success.
Is it possible that this is because of my Asus which was I suppose unlocked before I bought it. It has an Italian mobile provider logo on boot screen?
Do you have any other solution for my problrm?
Thanks again for your effort,
Van Gog
Found a solution!!!!
The name of *.abi file must be the same as the name of an *.exe file!
WOW!
Thanks a lot, you saved my Asus!!
Greetings,
VanGog
It should be GM2_name.abi and don't forget to clear hidden attribute.
For me it works also on 4GB card.
rishi, you said that "decryption and encryption are both resolved", is it using the same tool? I cannot say I got it...
weiqiix,
You may use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511158
Thank you very much, I'll test it right now.
Then I could even understand what (and how) to do with those *.nb0 files,
and who knows, I could understand my p552w's internals
If anyone can fix the camera and video problem that will be perfect!
I decided to write this guide because I found difficult to run USPL because the files in USPL folders not work...
The procedure works on Windows 7 and Vista... On XP does not guarantee since I do not use again because in my opinion is outdated...
After this small beginning premise driving:
0 - first if the phone is locked and cannot boot exceptin boot mode, download an official rom, for example
http://rapidshare.com/files/60087606/HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe
and installing it. After that the phone should start... least to me it worked...
1 - Download the files for USPL.
The first folder http://rapidshare.com/files/284853186/arte_uspl.rar
and the second folder for the no size USPL http://rapidshare.com/files/284853603/arteUSPL-nosize-cmon.rar
2 – Unzip the .exe file of a ship original rom (A link can be found in section 0). Just click with the right to go on "Extract files" and save it on a place easily accessible... For example, the Desktop...
the following operation must be do with phone on wm home screen!!
3 - open the folder of the USPL first file and then go, "start_uspl.exe" after the operations in the DOS window, the phone turn on automatically with a monochrome screen that can be white (as in my case) or other colors ..
4 - Just close it appears ROMUpdateUtility...
5 - Go to the folder extracted from the official rom and replace the file "ruu_signed.nbh" with "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" found in the first USPL folder...
6 - Join 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe "and do the requested operation...
7 - If the operation is successful at the end of the installation the phone will reboot itself...
8 - Open the second USPL folder that of no size USPL find the file "RUU_Signed.nbh" replaces in the original ROM folder instead of "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" made in section 5... and let go, "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and make the required operations as before...
9 - Now you can install the ROM that best suits you...
I hope to be helpful... And sorry for my bad english...
BYE

Warning:I am not responisible for any damage to your phone and rooting usually nullifies the warranty. so please procede with your own risk
I tried to root my karbonn A2 for 2 weeks and finally i got it. so im gonna share the steps involved in rooting and also provoide the tools for it.
NOTE: I do not take credit for any tool since all the tools were already available online, so credit goes to whoever programmed them. only thing i did was to alter the method slightly to get my phone rooted.
Lets begin. Before we start rooting our phone, most important thing is the drivers. so u need two types of drivers one is ADB (android debugging bridge) drivers and the other is preloader drivers. i have attached both of these drivers in the attachments u can download it.
Step1[only for beginners]: Go to setting>applications>development>enable USB debugging in the phone, then connect your phone to ur pc (remove all previous drivers if u have installed) then go to device manager>devices, right click on the usb device and click update driver and browse to folder containing the SPdrvers (u need to extract the folder from the attachment first).If driver is successfully installed then u should see "android phone" in ur device manager. to confirm it just run adb devices from the command line by chagning the directory to where adb.exe is, u should see the list of devices attached to ur pc. (usually adb.exe will be in android sdk tools folder or if u dont have one then check in ADB folder from superoneclick in the attachment).
Step2: ok, now that u have installed adb drivers, u need to install preloader driver (also known as downloading mode in some devices). to do this, disconnect ur phone from the pc, then switch off the phone, remove the battery and then connect ur phone to pc again (without the battery). then u should see windows trying to install drivers and fails. then go to device manager again and browse to folder containing USB VCOM drivers (see attachment). after it successfully installs procede to step 3.
Step3:: download, extract the files MTKROM and SPflash tool to ur pc. then put the battery inside ur phone then switch it on, connect it to pc (enable debugging all the time). then open command line then go to adb folder then type :adb devices- u should see the list of device attached (u will get some long numbers so dont worry). then type "adb shell" (without the quotes). u will get a $ sign, then type "cat proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info" if its successful then a file named firmware.info will be created in ur sdcard root. then copy that file to ur pc.
Step 4: Now open that firmware.info in MTKROM.exe u should see a list tables and address like in the image below. then click save scatter and rename the filename to MT6575 instead of MT6573 (and leave everthing else as it is). so a file named "MT6575_Android_scatter.txt" will be created.
Step 5: Now open Spflash tool and load the scatter file in that. u should see something like this in the image below.
STEPS TO BACKUP ORIGINAL BOOT AND RECOVERY
Step 6: Before we actually begin to root its important to make a backup of current images. so to do that, go to READ BACK tab in sp flash tool. click on Add>double click on the page file and save as "Boot.img" somewhere safe. then click on "Read Page only", this is very important. then look at the address side by side from MTKROM and enter into sptool. the start address is the address in which the boot.img begins and length is the length of boot.img. so final address will be startaddress+length =start address of next image (recovery.img). In MTKROM the start address is given as "PART ADDRESS". after entering those carefully click ok. if u want to be sure then use programmer calculator and add the address.
Note :the address will be in hexadecimal format not decimal.
Step7: In order to read the firmware from the phone, disconnect the phone from your pc, remove the battery, dont connect it yet. now click on "Read back" button in the sptool (its after Add,remove button). now the software starts searching for the device. now connect the device to the pc (without battery ofcourse). now if have installed USB VCOM drivers correctly then the sp tool should detect ur device and start reading from it. u will see Red colour in the
task bar when it detects then blue colour while the tool is reading the phone. wait untill the reading is complete. A green circle will pop up after it successfully reads from the device. (refer the images below)
Step 8: repeat step seven as described above for recovery.img (save the file as recovery.img) then select "read page only" option, enter start address as 0x0980000 and length as 0x0500000. (please enter the address carefully cross check with MTKROM image addresses.)
Note: You have to disconnect the device first then click read back button after entering the addresses then connect the device, otherwise the sptool wont detect your device!.
Actual Rooting Procedure
Step 9: Now that you have backed up both boot and recovery images its time to start the actual rooting. download the boot.img file from the attachment and save to your pc (dont replace it with your backup image that you saved earlier). go to download tab in the sp tool and tick only boot.img and uncheck all others (if any of them has been checked already) and click on Bootimg and browse for the folder where u downloaded boot.img from the attachment and NOT THE BACKUP! after that disconnect your device, then click download button above( after format->upgrade button) or f9 from keyboard. the tool will start searching the usb com ports. now connect your device and wait till it downloads fully. Note: In downloading your will get RED colour first, then YELLOW colour while flashing, and finally a GREEN circle after flashing is complete).
Step 10: The most important and complicates steps are over. now all you have to do is put your battery to your phone and switch it on. now after it sucessfully boots up, open superonclick.exe (you will get this software online and its very popular tool for rooting) and connect the device to your pc (enable debugging of course), then click Root button in superoneclick and Voila! your phone is rooted. enjoy and dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped
Note: u will need .NET framework 3.5 to run superoneclick.
Method To Unroot
For unrooting your mobile all you have to do is flash the original, backup boot image back to your phone. just open sptool and load the scatter file, then click on bootimg then browse to wherever u have stored backup boot.img then click download button then connect your device without the battery and thats it. you will get back original firmware without the root!.
Clockwork mod recovery for A2
There is no official cwm recovery for A2, but i ported cwm for other MT65xx devices to A2. so here are the steps to flash.
step 1: download recovery.img from the attachment.
step 2: open sp flash tool and load scatter.txt (for detailed description refer rooting steps). then tick recoveryimg and browse and set the path of the recovery.img you just downloaded from attachment.
step3: click on download button at the top or press f9. then take out the battery from the phone and connect it to the pc. the tool will detect your phone and start flashing cwm recovery.wait untill the green circle pops up.
step 4: now put in the battery and press power button+volume up and hold it for few seconds and voila!! cwm recovery boots up. And to revert back to original recovery just flash the recovery.img that you backed up during rooting process using the above steps.
Note: Do Not factory reset your phone without backing up the IMEI number. After rooting your device please backup your phones IMEI number which is stored in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 to a safe place. or there is an application called mobileuncletools (a chinese app) which helps to backup your IMEI to sdcard and restore it back. if u loose your IMEI and reset your phone then you cannot call or recieve sms etc
No service and invalid IMEI solution
explanation:
In case u did factory reset of the phone, then all your data will be wiped including the imei number. it will be reverted to factory imei number, hence you cannot connect to any mobile networks in india or anywhere else because most network operators wont allow to use the network with dupicate or invalid imei numbers. every device has a specific imei number. in this device your original imei numbers (15 digits) will be on the back of your battery.
Restoring is tough very simple procedure, creating the required files is a major headache. At first i thought it was impossible to restore the imei back (trust me i tried all the available solutions that u get in the internet, infact there are 5 different types of solutions, none of which worked for this device). luckily one day i found a chinese software which actually did create a imei file that is compatible with this device (phew !, yeah i know) and so i did successully restored my imei back and i can once again connect to mobile network and make calls..:victory: so here it goes.
How to restore IMEI number? (MUST BE A ROOTED PHONE)
1) if u have made the backup of MP0B_001 file in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 , then install root explorer and simply replace your current file with the backed up MP0B_001 and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.
2) if u havent backed it up (too bad), then download the chinese software sn_gen.zip from the attachments and enter both imei numbers that is found in the back of your battery (enter the numbers correctly and cross check it again, its 15 digit number). then the software generates a new MP0B_001 file, copy and paste in the above mentioned directory and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.:fingers-crossed:

its not possible to put ICS in A2 (since its officially not supported to our device), although cyanogenmod 9 can be installed but its very difficult to build it since most of the drivers are properitery and they wont release the sources. so its almost impossible to run cm9 and even if someone did build cm9 it wont run smoothly because of very low amount ram in our device (<256MB and ICS needs more than that to work smoothly). however im working to build cm7 (based on gingerbread) for our device and even that is really difficult since there is no device tree in github for this device. so i need build cm7 from scratch and that is not an easy job. so if any developers are working on building cm7 for A2 please pm me so that we can work together..

its not possible to put ICS in A2 (since its officially not supported to our device), although cyanogenmod 9 can be installed but its very difficult to build it since most of the drivers are properitery and they wont release the sources. so its almost impossible to run cm9 and even if someone did build cm9 it wont run smoothly because of very low amount ram in our device (<256MB and ICS needs more than that to work smoothly). however im working to build cm7 (based on gingerbread) for our device and even that is really difficult since there is no device tree in github for this device. so i need build cm7 from scratch and that is not an easy job. so if any developers are working on building cm7 for A2 please pm me so that we can work together..

if we create any partion sd memory for our internal memory can it run cm10 b'cuz galaxy ace can run cm10 it has just 256MB ram and some wat 800MHZ speed only but our device has 256MD ram with 1GHZ processor speed so i think it can also run cm10 if we create a partition memory from ous sd card thats wat i think so........
waiting for reply from ur side thanks in advance.......
urgent help

lol i was a galaxy ace user untill last dec. (its touch digitizer got broke, so i temporarily bought karbonn). anyway i do know ace can run cm10 and pretty much any device can, even ours can run it. i did not say our device doesnt run at all. i said it wont run smoothly and developing cm other than stock os version is very very difficult since our device is a local device and threre is no lot of support for it. so if anything goes wrong we may permanently brick our devices and may not find solution at all.
on the other hand, since i was a former ace user, i know that even though ace can run cm9 and cm10 there were a lot of problem in getting camera, video recording, and other applications because of unavialablity of their sources. so furthermore most of extra features that arent available in gingerbread cannot be used ex: face recognition, google now,otg usb etc( they are built for high end devices). u wont notice the difference in optimizations and performance of jelly bean in low end devices because they need sufficient hardware to utilize the os to full extent. so only thing u get out of installing cm is user interface (which u can change using of launchers, oh yes there are big bunches of launchers out there) and some features of cm (deodexd rom,custom kernel with overclocking features and some tweaks.)
coming back to our device, ive been trying to build cm7 for our device and its really difficult without a device tree and some good prior experience in building cm for atleast 2 devices. so my advice is that first we will build a fully working cm7 for our device and later if possible we will port cm10.

what do u mean by reset? did u do factory reset from recovery or did u clear flash from by holding power+down? (oh btw recovery is power+up in our device).
either way ur imei number has been erased and it will be reset to factory number . i spent 1 week day and night searching for a solution and that is exactly why i told u to backup your MB0P_001 file.
in order to repair it u need to root ur phone. follow above steps and paste ur imei number (dial *#06#).
Nothing in SuperOneClick
I am successful in doing everything, but when I open SuperOneClick, it does not show any device, and clicking "Root" greys off the button for a few seconds, and everything is back to normal again. Nothing happens to the phone.
What is wrong?

ru sure u replaced boot.img which was attached in attachments to your phone? if it was successful then u have unlocked the bootloader. the problem here seems to be like superonclick isnt detecting ur phone when connected to pc. In case if the usb debugging is turned off enable it and check if ur device is listed in adb devices command as explained above. if it does and still rooting doesnt work, then maybe you are using wrong version of superoneclick. because some of the loopholes which is used to root your phone (by gaining temporary access to shell) is not available in older versions. the version must be compatible with gingerbread. try downloading superonclick 2.3.3 version.
also, after u root with superonclick, restart it and please check if u have superuser app in ur phone(it will be automatically installed by superoneclick, dont install it manually since the app should be in /system/app and su command should be in /system/bin directory, which u cannot do by installing it manually). if its installed then u have root access, if u still want to confirm just download root checker app from google play and run it.
CM10 means Jelly Bean Which has minimum Requirement of 512MB ram... device cant even Support Cm9(ics)...And generally cynogenmods are not developed for local Indian Brands.....Instead Try this making your phone look like XPERIA:
