How to root please?
Also, anyone know how to reflash this models firmware?
I think I stuffed 1 of them up trying to root.
Attached is a picture of the model.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Hi there !
I have started a new thread on how to root spreadtrum devices here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165554
May be you could find a way to root yours.
I also need you to test an idea to root them, but I'm not sure if it will work.
Because you already have a bricked one, you can try this idea without risking your device (and maybe unbrick it by doing a backup of the others one and flashing this backup on it.)
How have you bricked it precisely ?

Hi there, I recently got my hands on a Mobicel Titan, and after much unclear research, the best I can come up with is that it is a Spreadtrum SC6820a phone, hope I am on the right track. Anyway, my goal is to change the ROM on this phone as the software that Mobicel has bundled on their version of Android is way too much for the phone to handle. I have already rooted the phone using Z4Root successfully. Funny enough, the link you have is the very link I tried for the past week, I've tried ADB and Fastboot on both Windows 8 64bit and Ubuntu 12.10 64bit, and even ResearchDownload, all drivers were installed successfully, but when i try all methods to flash new ROM to the device, nothing seems to happen, even if I use ResearchDownload and follow instructions to the T, flash process doesn't start. After using fastboot to update CWM from Ubuntu 12.10, if I try to restart into recovery mode, it is then stuck on the Mobicel Logo. Is there a guide for the Mobicel Titan?

Hi friends,
I recently bought Micromax A52. Thought of rooting it and after looking on xda i figured that existing root methods didn't enable root privilege in Micromax A52. Thinking of trying the manual way to root ( Creating own methods to root).
I need your help in getting basic idea of few things.
I dont know/find where i can download A52 stock OS. Pleas guide me the process of backing up stock.
After stocking original os as we can easily restore to it, would like to proceed with the rooting steps. Wondering how a rooting softy (Superoneclick or z4root etc) works based on which i will be able to give a shot on it.
I know the queries here are silly but if you help me i could learn to master ..
Thanks

Thank you sharmad247. I tried them but failed. First of all it was because of MT65xx Preloader failed driver at boot and later in Factory boot mode identified the chip is MT6575 and searched for that particular driver. (Tried rooting as well)
Got the drivers from

and installed successfully.
Now started Smart Phone Flash Tool again and configured Readback.
Disconnected phone from Data Cable.
Clicked on Read Back button on Flash Tool.
Switched off phone. Removed battery.
Connected Data Cable.
Inserted Battery.
Press and Hold on Vol - UP / Down button. (Tried both ways)
Flash tool detected the driver (showed on status bar) and popped up the error attached.
Please try and let me know when you are successful in making backup (I can understand where i went wrong), Also please share backed up rom.
If you also want to root, I tried lots of possibilities but seems i missing some steps and rooting not successful yet.
Thanks
LN
No luck with me too
This seems to be 'Download Mode' error which our phone does not support or does not have it. But has a recovery mode with limited options.
I too tried this on Ubuntu 11.04, but no luck.

I can help you get rooted. First you will need to install drivers on your PC so your device can communicate with the root program. Then try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43163569&postcount=7
If that dont work, let me know. You can always use MTK Droid Tools and SP flash tool to pull your stock recovery and port it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a simple root.zip
Hope this helps!
usb drivers
thanks Klown80, that looks like it should work, but first i need to install my usb drivers, i have loked at a ton of sites and they all didnt work, i need spreadtrum usb drivers, but can't figure out wich ones, a few said they all worked on any spreadtrum phone, but either im installing them incorrectly, or they simply didnt work,
again, thanks for any help in advance

Try using this, it installs drivers for many different phones, it may not be the actual manufacturers drivers for your specific device but it will help get your phone talking to your PC:

Also - Make sure you are going into settings and turning USB debugging on. You can usually find this under Settings > Developer Options.
snapea
Again, thanks Klown, but no joy, i tried serveral times and after 15 - 20 mins of "fobulating" (is that even a real word ) my phone it said "failed to processs phones data" i tried restarting both devices etc and a couple of other thing suggested but no joy.
Any other ideas, as always thanks in advance.

Go here and download MTK Droid Tools from first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
Run the program and connect your phone to PC, this tool will tell you lots of info about your phone but the main function is to possibly back up your stock firmware (This is good to have if you plan on trying to flash anything to the phone, this way you will have your stock files to fall back on in case something you flash to the phone does not work.) Once you have MTK Droid Tools running and phone connected, what does it say next to Hardware on the phone info tab please?
I am not sure off top of my head about updating to a higher version of Android but this back up step is REALLY important. It is hard if not impossible to find stock firmware floating around on the net for these chinese clone devices. IF you have stock files backed up you can flash almost anything you want knowing you have a way to restore your phone to working order. IF you look around here on XDA you will see tons of posts by people looking for the stock firmware for their clone phone after soft bricking it playing around. Sadly there is not much help for them unless they find someone with the EXACT same phone and are willing to share their back up (if the next person made one theirselves that is!)

Thanks again, while i go to the link and follow the next steps i thought i'd put up the hardware version you asked for
hardware - c913-v1.02
Paul
edit
even though my pc now recognises the fact that tere is a spreadtrum phone in my devices list and i managed to root it ok, when i load up mtk droid tools it says "the device isn't revealed, connect or reconnect a cable"
needless to say i tried reconnecting and it didn't change i downloaded the adb drivers from the link under the mtk link but have no idea what to do with them,
appologies for my ignorance in all of this, but like i said in my first post, i have no idea what i'm doing with all this, thanks
paul
pps the hardware version i posted was from the info on my phone
i have an azpen a821 8 inch tablet running 4.2.2,i want to root it,but cant seem to find usb drivers or a custom recovery.i can get into factory recovery.i tried to use simple adb backup and it could not connect via usb no matter what usb mode i set the tablet too.i'm pretty new to android,the only thing i have rooted was a freinds atrix 2 which went without problems using cwm and a custom rom.thanks in advance for any help.
wow
this is an awesome site,but i cant believe noone has any advice.i got the usb drivers resolved by installing pdanet,also installed the adb with google android sdk and tools.have been messing around with dumping the rom but cant get a full backup due to its not rooted,although root checker says it is already.it new and i havent tried rooting yet but read somewhere that some are factory rooted.i guess im gonna try to root with uberizer,looks like the simplest way i have found,but looks like it supports a10 and a13 but some have posted it works.i have the file for 11 partition cwm for custom recovery as i have found thats what mine is.
i got it root by using adb to bush the rooting files tio the proper spots.sorry for the newbie questions,but i am new to this

Please tell more about your device mate . And go search on your phone forum instead here, I'm sure there is a guide for hard brick device in your phone's forum.
For example, I've a LG G2, and well, when in qhsusb_bulk mode, it can't be recover, so don't worry now.

As with most qualcomm devices, a bricked bootloader needs uart access to restore it (if a image is even available)
Guys im having the same issue but with a CATS50, what can i do, i have tried almost all
I accidently erased the firmware off my Sky 5.5W and I have searched everywhere for it.
My computer recognises it but cant find the firmware .
Does anyone know where I can find it or if I can use different firmware?
Thanks
can you tell me the current condition of your device?
Like is it stuck on boot logo (boot loop)
or is it bricked?
I don't think it's bricked as the laptop still finds it.
try checking this link out
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936747&page=2
also like my replies, its a great encouragement if you do so
Will it work with an mtk device.? I tried it but can find the proper software for it. The files the qfl asks for aren't apart of the files I have.
Well honestly I have never worked with MTK devices but I know what you should do.
Now if that's the case you may download SPFT (Smart Phone Flash Tool) and find the appropriate drivers for your MTK device and then flash the ROM you want to (I prefer the stock room).
I hope this will help you.
...I'm in similar position with a Platinum 5. Please let me know whether you found ROM for this device and if so where, and I'll let you know what I find out if you need. I think I'll try to get something from SKY themselves so wish me luck.
