How to root Micromax A25.

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

Can't we directly connect our mobile and click on root. will it root. if not why.... I have found its USB drivers which detects my Smarty as Micromax A25. So can't we put it in debug mode and lick on root icon (in Unlockroot) to root our phone. Please help me.. and if you get succeed in rooting your phone please tell me how you do it. You will be my life saver.............. :angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:

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

Thanks to mastermind and other users first
I even rooted using superoneclick(this provided me drivers for micromax a25) and then used Unlock Root given in guide by mastermind1024.
By the way Flashing is the step to be taken care of. But rooting would be easy.I will be giving detail guide for this a25 smarty shortly. Keep posting

[Solved] How to Root unrootable SpreadTrum SC6820

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.

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

[Q] [SOLVED] Android One bricked. Unable to even start the phone. Help pls...

Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device (Canvas A1).
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded successsfully.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance

Problem solved!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
First, Install VCOM drivers for MTK devices..
Then install Android CDC Gadget Drivers.
Download the KitKat stock ROM.. (See instructions there)
Use SP Flash Tools v5.1424 from there to download it.
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes to flash.
Other issues after flashing:
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted KitKait using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

For users who encounter the problem:
To get warranty back by resetting flash counter, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in SP Tools, which will automatically lock bootloader and set flash_counter=0
You can check it by running the command "fastboot getvar all" in fastboot mode using ADB kit or tools in PC.
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)

just flash the stock backup via SP flash tool

Download the KitKat stock ROM..
Flash using latest SP Flash Tools v5.1548 (This is the latest version & highly recommended)
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes

can you tell us how to get into META MODE....??

Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools (v.5.13) which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
To get warranty back by resetting flash counter, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in SP Tools, which will automatically lock bootloader and set flash_counter=0
You can check it by running the command "fastboot getvar all" in fastboot mode using ADB kit or tools in PC.
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted again using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

Once all complete just Press power button and Start Device..
I have skipped the Bootloader and Partition.gpt file from the flash ROM bat file because it is safe to skip these.,
Also TWRP is in the same Folder.
If you need to flash TWRP anytime, just connect your phone. In Bootloader mode and open same folder that you extracted and run 'Flash Twrp.Bat'
All set, please share Results...
Edit: I have same Device and i have tested at my device, so please follow above procedure step by step, if any confusion please ask...

First Please try This than confirm me the Bootloader version so i can see if you can downgrade or not, I don't know in past you upgraded Bootloader or not.
Than I will prepare Nougat zip for you by analyzing your Bootloader version.
Edit: Oreo Stock is still better than Nougat if all working.

If you updated Officially than bootLoader must be updated,
i can prepare a Nougat Stock for you to flash as same process, but i think please first Flash TWRP and try any PIE Custom ROM if you get succeed.
until i am uploading Nougat Stock at the cloud to share with you,
Can you Please go to bootloader and Execute command "fastboot getvar all" and copy paste from command screen to here in post?
This command will show you details about the phone, those are very helpful for me,

I am eager to solve your issue..

Wait and let me upload a Nougat stock build for you...
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------
Uploading Nougat Stock 7.1, it will take about 20 Minutes, please hold on,
Also your Bootloader is updated to BC-12, so never flash Bootloader for the nougat ROM, otherwise your Phone sill be hard bricked.
I also skipped the Bootloader and Partition.gpt from Stock nougat to safe flash.
