Model - Callbar A1
Android - 2.3.5
Kernal Version – 2.6.35.7
Software version – 2.3.001.P1.12065
Hardware version – P1
CPU – SC6820 (1 Ghz.)
Screen – 3.5” HVGA
I tried several methods such as DoomLord, SuperOneClick, UnlockRoot, Z4Root to root the phone but none worked.
Tried ADB to manually root the phone through commands but almost every command returns – “Permission Denied” or “Read Only System”. However files su, SuperUsr.apk, BusyBox were easily pushed into /data/local/tmp. Further steps like making local.prop and onwards could not be executed and returned above stated errors.
Also tried modifications by putting update.zip on SdCard root and running Android Recovery System but this method also returned error “Signature Verification Failed”.
Tried Nautilus on Linux Mint with OpenSSH while running DroidSSH on the phone but could not mount device by any means.
Scanned my device with ‘X-Ray’ app which reported that device or firmware I am using had been patched and is not vulnerable to any of the exploit available at the moment.
I desperately need rooting to remove pre-installed bloatwares and applications to free internal memory which is very less. I am trying to root phone for the last several days but every method has failed. Can any one help???
I have attached PDF file containing complete details of System Memory Map, MTD Tables, Symbolic Links, Directory Permissions and File Permissions of my android phone. I hope some one having knowledge of android system can help me by suggesting custom exploit after going through these details.

It doesn't work for my mobile.
CallBar A1 SC6820 Stock ROM Available
UPDATE
Original Stock ROM of CallBar Mobiles is available on following official link.
Millions of Thanks to Company's Sales Head Officer in my country to whom I talked on Mobile. He was kind enough to spare his precious time and guided me to download StockRom and flash it properly. Without naming him on this public portal, I would like to tell that he is Great Person.
There are 3 Stock ROMs for Models CallBar A1, CallBar A2 and CallBar Tab7 available under the Modem Driver Download Section. The Rar File includes all tools and software required for flashing.
Here is the link
SpreadTrum SC6820 CallBar A1 Rooted
Successfully rooted CallBar A1 Mobile through ResearchDownload.
Requirement - Stock Rom (pac file) and CWM Recovery Image.
While flashing original ROM through ResearchDownload Software, I simply replaced the path of Recovery.img file to CWM Recovery image file. After Flash was over. Restarted phone in CWM Recovery and applied update.zip from sd-card containing SuperUser Files.
Its done.... Rooted.
Took me almost months to get success. I kept experimenting whenever got time. At one time also bricked.... any way finally I am done.
Intex12345 Can you make a tutorial for the rooting ?

I also dont know much about rooting but after several tries i successfully rooted my SpreadTrum. (CallBar A1 Mobile). It was very difficult because I rooted another Samsung Models with much ease.
All methods for my CallBar had been unsuccessful, till I got original firmware. SO In my method, you need firmware first. If you have original firmware then write back. I would surely like to help you.
If you have CallBar Mobile then I will write the steps in details so that you can root your mobile. But as far as my knowledge is concerned all Spreadtrum phones dont root with common method.
Hai intex12345,
I have samsung s-gt7262 mobile. It has spreadtrum sc6820 processor. The firmware are available at samsung-updates.com for india region.
So I have firmware and odin downloaded.
Pls guide me further.

Bro, you have a newer phone and people are still trying to root this.

If you find CWM Recovery image which may be working for your Model then it would be better because I tried to find CWM for your model but found none. Any way... you may try random CWM images for your mobile.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165554
From the above link you need some tools, software, images:
First of all you will need Research Download Tool so download Package Debug Tools.
Working CWM Recovery Image for your model. At the moment no specific is available so try Random CWM images.... You may try one after another image.
FDL files so download FDL file set also.
Remember, Research Download can revive even dead phone.
(Windows XP is better for using Research Download because SpreadTrum Mobile drivers don’t install in Windows 8.... You may try on both windows though. For me, it worked on XP so I had to install VMWare with XP on my Windows 8)
1. Install SpreadTrum Drivers.......
2. Run Channel Server (You will find in Debug Tools package)
3. In the setting select 115200 baud rate.
4. Run Research Download
5. Channel Server should have green light when Research Download is run. If not, change Com Port and Endian Setting in the Channel Server.
6. Open Firmware (pac file) through single gear icon.
7. Open the setting (two gears Icon). Make sure that baud rate in Research Download is also 115200
8. Replace fdl1 and fdl2 with the files available with you.... (Try different sets you have downloaded.... Hit and trial.... I would suggest you to try first without replacing these files)
9. In the Recovery row, replace the path of file to the CWM Recovery image file Downloaded by you. This is Custom Work Mode Recovery file. By changing this file, Research Download will flash CWM Recovery instead of Normal Stock Recovery. In case Custom Work Mode Recovery image is not flashed, mobile will still have normal Stock Recovery BUT without advanced features. But for Rooting you need Custom Work Mode Recovery. So try image suitable for your model. There is none specific for your model so you may try one by one after flash is over....
10. Go to the Calibration Tab.... uncheck all boxes..... if you dont, it may trouble you. Flash may fail. I was stuck for days on this step. Then I tried this setting and worked for me. One more guy has also reported to have worked this step for him. Another will report soon because he is also stuck on that.
11. Press Play Button.
12. Dont plug your mobile yet. Switch it off. Thereafter, plug in mobile in Computer USB while holding Volume - button.
13. Flash will start.
14. After the flash is complete, Reboot the Phone.
15. It’s should boot ...... Hopefully it would.
Now you have phone with firmware flashed with CWM Recovery Image installed on it.
Now comes the part of installing Super User files. Download SuperUser Zip from official web site.
16. Place Zip file containing SuperUser files on the root of sd-card.
17. Shut down Phone.
18. Switch on phone while holding vol(-) and power button. (Your model may have different combination for entering into Recovery Mode) It will reboot phone in CWM mode. Apply zip file containing SuperUser files from sdcard.
19. Reboot. It’s rooted.
I am not responsible, if you bricked your mobile in the process. I bricked my own handset once... But Research Download can revive even dead phones so mine was also brought back to life.... As long as you have firmware with you.... You make take risks.
Best of luck.... If you are stuck on any step.... Just tell me. I have tried to cover all steps... But some steps may require detailed instructions for newer people.
CWM recovery.img required
Thanks a lot to intex12345 for penning down your journey.

I tried all available/possible combination of kernel for the processor/mobile. Everything Bricked my phone. So I have started the process of creating my own CWM recovery Wish me Good Luck.
Once I have access to working CWM I think I can go further.

After lots and lots of research, I have now confirmed that the only way to root Micromax A25 is through the following steps:
1. Obtain its scatter.txt file and boot.img.
2. Make the boot.img insecure.
3. Use the scatter.txt in SP Flash Tool to flash the modified insecure boot.img file to the phone.
4. Then root with UnlockRoot.
So dear modders and fellow Micromax lovers, please help me and let's get this phone rooted. The phone already communicates with my PC. I think the drivers are auto-installed when I connect the phone to the PC. And Motofail was able to reboot it. One of the many rooting methods that I tried managed to install a battery saver apk on my phone but not the superuser apk and the su binary. Therefore I am sure that the usb drivers have been installed.
Now the real question is--- How to obtain the scatter.txt and boot.img file? Will the scatter.txt file for the Micromax A52 work with A25? They have very similar specs and both have MT6575. Somebody please help. I seem to be the only person trying to root this phone.
I also want to root My Micromax Smarty A25

We are together in this. I believe that I am very close to rooting this phone. We can't use UnlockRoot directly because it cannot access the root shell. I had successfully rooted Micromax A50 before with UnlockRoot. However, the process is not as simple as just connecting the phone to the PC an clicking on the root button in UnlockRoot. We need to obtain the rom dump or at least the boot image and make it insecure and then flash it back to the phone. Only then can we use Unlockroot successfully. I have done all that I can and obtained the scatter loading file. Now I am working on dumping/obtaining the rom dump. Do some research and please share here. I will too. If we obtain the boot image for Micromax A25, the rest is a piece of cake. And one more thing. Please upload the drivers for the phone here for other users and I would also like to check it out. Or post the link to the drivers here. Thanks.

That same rooting procedure was successful on my micromax A50. It should work on A25 too. I am never afraid of taking a little risk. I haven't been successful so far. I will try again after some time. If you want to revert back to its original state, you will have to unroot your phone with the SuperOneClick software and then flash the original unmodified boot.img back to your phone and maybe do a complete factory reset.
Hey please root your phone fast. And upload a video in youtube with detailed instructions........ please do fast man..... I wanna root it....

ok,sure.....
Download the following files.
1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A25 scatter file)
2) SP.FlashTool
3) A25_USB_VCOM_Drivers
4) UnlockRoot
5) Original boot.img (You don't need to download this to root the device)
STEPS TO FLASH BOOT.IMG:
1) Run SPFlashTool, preferably as administrator (not mandatory)
2) Select USB mode under Options
3) Click Scatter-loading & select scatter file you downloaded from above links.
4) It will automatically load boot.img if it's in the same folder with scatter file otherwise click BOOTIMG & select the downloaded unsecured boot.img
5) Turn off the device fully, remove the battery for 5 seconds to be sure n re-insert the battery but do not power on device.
6) Attach the usb cable with PC but not with device
7) Now click on "Download" button on SPFlashTool, it will show searching for device in lower panel.
8) At this time, attach the cable with device in power off state
9) It will search for drivers, select the USB_VCOM_Drivers u downloaded from above links. You may have to go to Device Manager to manually install the driver.
10) By that time if SPFlashTool shows some error then don't panic, just make sure that there is no ongoing flashing process on SPFlashTool n if the device is showing battery charging animation then it's safe to detach the cable. Detach the cable n follow step 7 again.
11) Now as soon as u attach the cable to device in power off state it will show a progress bar in lower panel n then a dialogue which states successfully flashed n another dialogue showing green colored ring n stating Download OK.
12) Close the dialogues, close the program n reboot the device by pressing power key.
then use superoneclick and press root ....no need to install busybox,superoneclick installs it

Hi all,
I've just bought a Note II and am trying to get root. I've followed this tutorial carefully
HTML:
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-on-linuxubuntu/
and everything completes without error, but whenever I try and boot into recovery it just get a garbled Samsung boot logo and it never gets to recovery.
Now I can't go back to stock updates since my device has been modified, so I'm commited to getting root and custom recovery now.
Can anyone help me with what is going wrong?
Thanks
download the last version 4.1.2 and flash it via odin. If you need any help tell me.

I can no longer download updates from Samsung since I have tried to root it already.
I can't use Odin since I don't have Windows.
I have tried the method in the link above using Heimdall (Odin equiv. for Linux) and everything went fine (no errors, terminal output was as expected) but cannot get into any recovery (stock or custom)
Before you proceed with tutorial, make sure:
You have installed your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 USB drivers on your PC.
You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default.
You smartphone should have 70-80% charge remaining.
Your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 should be factory unlocked.
Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data in stored in phone memory so in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
The update is only meant for Galaxy Note 2 N7100, so don’t try it on other variants.
Step 1) Download Android 4.1.2 XXDLK7 for Galaxy Note 2 N7100. " I can't post outside links so type in google galaxy note 2 xxdlk7 "
Step 2) Download ODIN v3.07. It's an old version but you can download a newer version of odin from google but it works np
Step 3) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button until you see Android logo with triangle on screen.
Step 4) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 to your computer.
Step 5) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.
Step 6) Select the downloaded file to install by following below steps:
Click on PDA and select file with HOME or CODE in its name.
Now click on Phone and select file with MODEM in its name.
Next click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name.
At last click on PIT and select file with .pit.
Step 7) Again to to ODIN window and check Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.
Step 8) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
Step 9) When the installation is completed, your phone will restart. I hope that i helped you GoodLuck

I can't use Odin, there is no Linux version.
I've found the TWRP for the Note II:
HTML:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
Does anyone know if I flash the latest .img file from that using Heimdall will that give me a recovery to then install Super-SU from?
I've only just bought this phone and can't afford to buy another if I brick it, so I'm hesitant to just try without some expert knowledge.
you must be rooted first before putting twrp.

Ok, so how can I root it?
The only Linux tutorial I've found doesn't work since I can't get a working recovery in order to install Super-SU and get root.
Is there another way to get root? Or another method that might give me a recovery so I can get root?
Ok after you did the tutorial you got rooted or not ? download root check from play store and check

No I do not have root. I wish to get root access and install a recovery, then Super-SU.
Try this, It's a root way without odin.

You can get the mobile Odin that let's you flash firmware from the device itself.

Great! I'll get that to install TWRP or CWM then, since Heimdall seems to be corrupting the recovery when flashing it.
I've got root now (thanks to mario above!) so mobile odin is a good option
Thanks!
It's nice to see that you get rooted, nw download mobile odin and flash twrp.img
Hi All,
I want to backup my stock rom of my zp999 pro (build 20141218-145608) , make a scatter file so i can root my phone with sp-flash tools. (right procedure ?)
I have succesfully installed drivers.
But when i run the latest MTK Droidtool is can see the specs of my phone but on the right screen i get an error :
--- ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
ATTENTION! File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found!
Therefore i do not want to go further incase i should brick my phone with that.
Any suggestions wether it is safe to go further in mtkdroidtools or not?
Is Mtk droidtools working with MTK6595 devices after all?
Are there other methods to backup stock rom , make a scatter file and use SP Flashtool to root?
Any help is welcome.
Use SP Flash tool read back method. Links and video tutorials available on YouTube

Hi Mohammed.nomaan,
I could be mistaken but to make a backup of your ROM with SP FTools, i think we allways need MTK Droidtools , no ?
Correct me if i am wrong.
And why i get the error in MTK Droidtools ?
In the mean time i rooted my ZP999 correctly just by using a stockROM from Zopomobileshop.com (2 available), using SP FTools and Carliv reovery and Superuser to root in CWMrecovery.

Thanks - i looked this video a while ago.
But making a scatter file of your actual ROM implies you need to work with MTK droid tools. And this program gives an error....so not working with this phone.

If you sure that you are making the scatter file correctly, it should not give u issues.
Try to check the files in scatter and then readback the whole rom, even if its not rooted, it should work

The Blue box on the bottom means you do not have shell root to proceed. It should be Green (Proper root or Yellow to get shell root)
Flash the Chainfire zip and try again, you should see a yellow box if not green but not blue

As a matter of fact , the previous picture was BEFORE i was rooted.
Now that i am rooted, MTK Droid Tools give me a yellow square with some additive info....(to get root shell)
So as i can understand, i could not use MTK DTools unless i was rooted , right???
Now it is no longer necessary to backup with MTK DT because i am rooted now
ps : what do you mean with Chainfire ?

I referring to the SU Zip file by chainfire that can we flashed to get root access. Anyway since you already have it just read here -

Once you have shell root on MTK droid tool (If you see yellow, click on the root link on MTK and it will get shell root to proceed.
Then you can have a full backup of IMEI and stock rom to play around

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Folder (SM-G150NS, SM-G150N0):
- Android Lollipop 5.1.1
- OEM Unlock available via Developer settings.
- Model : SM-G150NS
- Build version : LMY47X.G150NSKSU1APK3
- I have access to Odin flashable firmware (via Sammobile)
This phone is almost 3 years old and yet I have not found any information about root solution for this phone.
While I am really skeptical about "one click root" solutions, I have tried KingoRoot but with no luck (displayed a bunch of popup, adverts and got stuck at 90%).
I have not tried OneClickRoot or KingRoot, if someone can confirm if safe. I will give a try.
This device seem pretty "standard" to me, I mean there is a lot of Samsung phone running 5.1.1 that can be rooted easily. I guess this one can also be...
The device is vulnerable to Dirty Cow vuln but it seems like we can't really do anything from there...
I saw this chinese website that have Odin rooted package : [Can't post it as I am new user]. But payment is needed. Looks like a scam to me
Has someone have any idea how I can root this device ? I will be very grateful for any help I can receive.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers :highfive:
Edit: I will seriously buy you a beer if you can help me with this...

Would this also work for the Samsung Galaxy Folder SM-G150NK? Just want to make sure I don't mess up my phone just because it has a different radio in it.

This file is a good replacement to an SuperSU file.
The actions should be done are:
- Burn (With Odin software) TWRP on the phone after logging in download mode,
Entrance to recovery TWRP >> Install >>Find the attachment, and just install it ..
Then install an app magisk, so you can manage the root
I am looking for twrp for this handset, then i will install su.

If you want root then download magisk and use the create patched boot image option.

I wouldn't they are not compatible. Also supersu is no longer up to date. Better sticking with Magisk which is under active development.
Tried using magisk method today. I downloaded the rom from sammobile, extracted the boot.img, put it on to the phone, magisk apk than patched it. I put the patched_boot.img back onto my computer and got stuck at fasttboot. I can get "adb devices" to list and connect but nothing for fastboot. I used command- "adb reboot bootloader" -to put phone into fastboot/download mode. I use linux, but also tried it under windows xp and windows 7, I fastboot can not find my phone. Odin can see me phone (Galaxy J2 2018)
So maybe others might have the same problem, maybe I am not putting phone into fastboot mode correctly?

Samsung doesn't use fastboot. You should have used the option to create a tar file then flash with odin.

Sorry, I deleted most samsung sys apps along with getting rid of most google stuff as well. I deleted one to many last night and I have to completely start over; used odin. The boot.img I used was in the 2GB zip file I found on sammobile, opened the AP*meta.tar.md5 and extracted the boot.img. I am not a rockstar in rooting, I did check the md5sum and both where different (desktop.firmware.mobi and the one I downloaded). I will say the rom I found on sammobile was the same listed in my phone under baseband version. I was a little skeptical because I didn't see any mention of DS (dual sim), but after flashing both sims work fine.
I'm retiring my old daily driver a Samsung S2, I noticed on my J2 phone I have option to encrypt sdcard but nothing mentioned about the phones storage. I guess I have some searching to do. cheers
3 cheers for removable battery, headphone jack and root.

Hello, I used magisk as recomended. I dont have twrp and I didnt see a rooted rom anywhere. Follow the magisk link Croveritiel posted. You will need: windows with odin, samsung drivers, boot.img and magisk manager.apk installed on your phone. For finding the boot.img I looked at my phones baseband version and downloaded the same stock rom from sammobile.com, extracted the zip, and extracted boot.img from the larger ap*.md5sum file. Transfer boot.img to phone. Open magisk manager on your phone and change the settings pached boot output format to img.tar . Next is to let magisk do its thing and it will make a new file named patched_boot.img.tar (or somthing similar). Move that file onto your pc, start odin, select ap and put phone into download/odin mode. Your phone will wipe when it reboots. After it reboots put magisk manager.apk back onto your phone. Your now rooted.

@SnarfSnarf explained it all. the little difference in my case was downloading the boot.img directly from https://desktop.firmware.mobi/, I don't know if it is the right way but it worked for me.
