I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?

Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.
Thanks!

[GUIDE]Root Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 and other MTKxxxx impossible to root devices easily!

Hello all XDA Members and others who are viewing this thread.
I finally found a way to root the IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT MediaTek devices!
I personally used it on Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 MT6592M with 2 Gb RAM 1.4 Ghz Octa Core Processor MT6592M.
Devices that won't be rootable by apps like Kingo Root, Vroot(for a certain time), Framaroot, towelroot etc can be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users can also follow this guide created by The Android Soul for picture tutorial. : Click Here
Note : If you're rooted but want to install CWM then follow this guide to create CWM and flash it via SP Flash Tool or Just copy the created recovery and flash it via Rashr (Download from play store)
Let's get started without wasting time.
Things you'll need MTK Drivers : All MTK Drivers 2014
Your Phone with USB Debugging Mode turned on in Developer Section
Usb Cable and most Important
A Calm head :silly:
A video is already available link is in 1st point.
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"]Warning Rooting Voids warranty. I would in any means not be responsible for dead devices, bricked SD cards or any other activity that leads to damage of your device. If you know the risks still want to continue then go ahead.[/SIZE][/B]
First we would like to load scatter file for our device. Process in the video link in 1st point.
Disconnect the phone's battery (if any) [ IN CASE OF XOLO HIVE JUST SWITCH OFF THE DEVICE THEN WAIT FOR 30 seconds and connect the device ] and then press volume up button and connect it with PC it will connect device in preloader mode.
1) We would like to have a backup of our UNROOTED stock ROM. Download MTK Droid Tools (Google it) and then use this method to backup your UNROOTED stock ROM. It is basically Read Back method from SP Flash tool Follow this video tutorial : How to backup unrooted stock ROM
Warning : Please do not continue this tutorial if your device has fake information or any kind of restriction or ubifs file system or you'll brick the device. You have been warned.
This is a text guide for the video :
2) After backup extract the firmware you created using MTK Droid Tools. Process given in video.
3)Now when you get boot.img for your device you're good to go
4) Open MTK Droid tools with administrative privileges and make sure your phone is connected and then migrate to root,backup,recovery tab and click the option to choose boot.img from and locate your stock boot image and make a CWM recovery from it.
5) Wait for process to complete and then check recovery folder inside MTK Droid tools folder. There you'll find two files
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]XXXX_bootpatched.img & XXXX_recovery.img[/B][/COLOR]
6) Now open SP flash tool and load the MTKXXXX_Android_scatter_txt and untick every option except for boot.img and recovery.img. Then click on both tabs and locate the modified images created by MTK Droid tools which can be found in recovery folder itself if you haven't moved them.
7) Make sure your phone isn't connected at this time and then hit download button in SP Flash Tool and then with phone's battery removed with volume up button pressed connect it to PC and then flash process will begin. After completion you'll see a green circle at that point disconnect your phone and switch it on. Don't disturb the phone until flashing completes and you see a green circle.
Congratulations! You have CWM Recovery for your device without ROOT!
ROOTING
1) Now download this zip file and flash it via CWM Recovery. SuperSU.zip and reboot.
Congo many will get root access now but not Xolo HIVE You do need to flash this zip. Users that don't get root after flashing supersu zip can also continue further.
2) Download Vroot from here and install it.
3) Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and wait till it detects your device.
4) Now click root button and voila you're rooted!
Now reboot and you'll see the superuser app Now you'll have two Superuser apps (NOT XOLO HIVE USERS) SuperSU from flash and Superuser from Vroot. Not to worry just open SuperSU and it will automatically ask to remove the other Superuser app choose that and reboot and you're done
Luckily those who don't want or find complication in SP Tool Read back method, just download the stock ROM for your device and extract boot.img from it and then follow same steps from 4th step at the beginning from where to create CWM for your device.
I suggest use androidxda.com for most stock ROM's.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users don't Panic I have your CWM and Boot image ready Just download from here : Xolo HIVE Recovery.img
Xolo HIVE Boot Patched.img.
KINDLY DON'T MIRROR MY FILES. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE GIVE THIS LINK TO PEOPLE.
Xolo HIVE users I saved your work upto step 5 from step 6 ,i.e, flashing you need to do manually
I know it's a long and complicated process but it is only method working until a new exploit is available to root the impossible mtk devices.
Conisder me a donation if you can as it will help me to make more guides and apps
If you cant donate hit thanks :good:
That won't cost you!
EDIT : I am adding Xolo MT6592 scatter file too in case you can't generate it. Remember to load scatter file uncheck all options leaving boot.img and recovery.img then flash the boot and recovery I provided ONLY XOLO HIVE USERS

bro i want to ask you about the scatter file, because you have not provided that and it is most useful. i have a xolo hive 8x 1000 and when i am trying to generate scatter file then this error comes. and i have read that this can brick the phone. And the person in the video you suggested in step 1 also said in his video not to proceed if any error comes. so please help.

Scatter file can be easily made :?
You just have to click block path tab it won't brick :/
Also I have provided Xolo HIVE recovery and bootpatched file! Just download this and flash it via SP Flash Tool! You can create scatter yourself! Watch the video!
Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and connect to PC and let mtk droid tools read it.When it does then you click on blocks map tab!

Flashing cwm recovery via sp flashtool doesn't makes you rooted. It just replaces stock recovery

Well nothing worked for Xolo Hive if you read my guide too. Flashing SuperSU.zip ends up in a infinite binary update with failure

can you please root xolo 8x-1100
i also don't have pc

I certainly have helped rooting Xolo 8x-1100 and 8x-1200 to a member.
You need PC for flashing boot.img and recovery.img, Sorry my friend: (
Or try rooting via towelroot first then tell me if you succeed.
Also download your stock ROM from here and send me the recovery.img from it follow this link and download : Xolo Play 8x-1100 stock rom

[Tutorial] How to root and install custom ROM and recovery.

Hello guys , this is my first topic and I want to tell you how to customize your phone.
First : Rooting
You have to root before doing any thing , you can root your phone by a lot of ways
1- Rooting by PC , you can find alot of rooting programs that is very easy to use like : Kingo root, wondershare mobile Go , king root and a lot more , but the best tool is Kingo root for PC , you can download it from the official website
After downloading you have to install it and your phone usb drivers and enable USB debugging in developers options , then connect your phone to PC via USB cable
The click Root! , wait until the rooting is completed and you have a root!!
2- rooting without PC ,there are a lot of tools like King root, Kingo root , towelroot and framaroot and more , I prefer king root because it is supporting a huge list of devices , you can download it from the official site after downloading you have to check unknown sources from Applications settings before installing , once you did you can install it after installing open it and wait to check if there is a strategy for rooting your phone , if it is found one click on root and wait for it to complete rooting ,
3- installing SuperSU , SuperSU is the best root permissions management app , it is supporting a lot of languages and it is more safety then king root or Kongo root apps ,
You can download it from Play store or install it easily by a custom recovery ,
First download it from play store and open it and give it a root permission , then the app will install its binary and important files , if it is saying fails to install you can go to king root app and go to options then root options the clean root , it will uninstall its self then retry to update SuperSU binaries it should be installed now
Second : installing custom recovery,
If you have Samsung device then this will be very easy to you.
1 - by odin ROOT is not important , you have to download these files : Odin3.xx , Samsung drivers and your recovery file ,
[WARNING! ] you can't install other device recovery file even if it is the same in shape or model with few changes or this will brick you phone ,
How to install : shut down your device and put it into downloading mode by pressing power + volume down and home buttons in the same time , a warning press volume up button and connect your device via USB cable and open Odin by administrator , there will be a blue bar on options tabs , press on PDA or AP button and select your recovery file , the press start DONT disconnect the USB or your device will be damaged , a progress bar will appear on your phone screen , wait for few seconds and a PASS!! message in a green bar will appears in Odin , then you can disconnect you phone from USB , you can go into recovery by pressing power + volume up and home button s in the same time , you will find your self in recovery mode , there is different types of custom recoverys like clockworkmod (CWM) and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) and Philz recovery and more , you can find your recovery file in some in xda forums , remember to you your correct recovery file and flashing it correctly ,
2 - With out PC (Root is required!) : download your correct recovery file in your phone and download any comprising app like AndroZip or zArchive , I prefer zArchive and flashing app like Flahfy or Mobile uncle tool or Rasht , after downloading the apps and your recovery file and flashing and archiving apps , go into zArchive or any other app and rename your recovery file which it is name with .tar.md5 at the last of its name with recovery.tar and click on file after renaming it and extract it , then go to flashing app like Rasht and click on recovery from SD card and select your recovery file and flash it , remember to give it root permission , now you have a custom recovery, you can flash a custom recovery by this method for any device
Like LG or HTC or any other device.
Third : installing custom ROMs :
Installing Custom ROMs is the coolest feature of custom recoveries , the rom is the operating system of your phone or tablet , you can find better ROM for your device and faster like CyanogenMod or AOSP or other custom ROMs which it is better than original ROM , you can go to CyanogenMod or AOSP website and search for your device , and download your phone or tablet custom ROM which its format is .zip ,
After downloading your ROM file shutdown your device and go into recovery mode by pressing power + volume up and home buttons , select install zip from SD card if the file is in your external SD card or install zip from internal SD card if it in internal storage , select your ROM file and flash it after flash is completed wipe cache and data the reboot your phone , you are in you new ROM now !!
you can get root permissions by flashing chain fire flash able zip file , you can download it from chainfire website .
Thank me if you liked this tutorial

Thanks
thanks it was useful for me to discover that CyanogenMod and AOSP are useful to search for. Im trying to seek out if there exists a C-rom for my old Asus tablet.
