Evening all.
After finally deciding to get a smart phone I opted for an SE X10 mini pro from ebay. It has not arrived yet but I know I need to things to it so I can improve it. Not coming from an I.T background I am strugling with alot of the terminology on here so please help -
Root the phone - is this effectivly hacking the phone to improve it?
ADB driver - Following from Doomsday V4 script, its says install the adb driver but what is this
Does rooting it mean i dont have to upgrade to V2.1 from PC companion
Finaly, The phone is locked to vodafone, how can i unlock it and do i need to unlock it before i root it.
Thanks for all the help in advance

posible but if you want to flash custom roms it might require the latest android version.

no need to SIM-unlock it. you can root with sim locked phones. but again there are problems if you want to install custom roms.
btw, welcome to the android world and minis planet.
Adb (Android Debugging Bridge) is the way that your phone communicates with your pc. It is one of the programs included in the android sdk(software development kit if i am not mistaken). Many script that devs write rely on this program to communicate with your device. This program uses the debugging option to communicate with the pc.

At first find the right adb drivers for your device.If you can't find drivers you can download the latest Android SDK and install the drivers manually (Universal ADB driver).
**You can take a look here how to install them manually.**
Then you could try one of these apps to root your device:
SRS One Click Root for Android --> Root could be successful on firmware PZ320AM_GYSD_3M_FOREIGN_V2.0.2_usr_r10270
Unlock Root Tool
Vroot
[ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices
SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse --> Have you try it with rangeagainstthecage exploit?
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
Thanks so much for your reply.
I Have managed to install the Adb drivers. (AS SHOWS IN THE DEVICE MANAGER).
I also installed the moborobo software and my device is recognised.
MT6515
When i use srsroot, unlockroot I just get the message failed,
When I use the oneclick root i get the message adb out of date.
I suspect tbat thr drivers are correct, but I dont know what I am doing wrong.
My phone needs the spreadtrum drivers. ANY suggestions
please?
Thanks everybody. Kind regards,DD
Finaly I managed to root the phone!
After all these attempts the software that managed to root the MT6515 is the VRoot. Only issue is that is in chinese and I... struggle to read most of the things, but end result excellent!!
it has also installed the superuser app that is in chinese aswell. Is there anything else similar in English?
Thanks again for the enormous help.
Kind regards to everybody, keep up the good work,
DD

I have same version of android, baseband and build numbers.
I rooted with mtk6589 procedure where you connect phone and execute some run.bat, search in google. That worked for me.
For recovery, you get into Chinese recovery that I dont understand when you press volume-,power,home.
I am also trying to flash cwm/twrp recovery, but odin does not recognize this phone. I am little scared that I might brick with those adb based flashes.
I tried applying some generic twrp recovery with goo manager, I dont know if it messed up the default english android recovery or not that it does not work any more when you into it from volume+,power,home
Hey, got tha same problem. Only my gt-i9500 clone has mt6577, tried several rooting methond without any luck. Can't find ROM and recovery.img thats in it to root mine). You can try http://gizbeat.com/2151/graphical-root-mtk6589-mtk6577-mtk6575/#more-2151, or http://chinaphonearena.com
You guys are gonna be hard pressed to find anything for those devices as they don't use official Android versions, recoveries, or boot loaders. You gonna have to hit up the China based forums. Knock off/clone device are not supported here. Only real devices are.

If the devices have an MT65XX proccesor, you can use SP flash tool and a few other user made tools to make your own CWM or TWRP that will work on your device, I have done it about a dozen times on all different MT6515, MK6573, MT6575, MT6577, and MT6589 devices. Let me know if you need help and I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
Please help

Hi,
My first guess would be to try Motochopper Exploit to obtain root. If that dont work, I know of a few other methods to get root with. Let me know if Motochopper works.
motochopper
Hello Klown80 thank you the answer, I did what you told me and I installed Motochopper all right! but opening up Superuser app asking me to update and install from Recovery or install soltanto.come push one of the two tells me that there is an error and send the log to the developer.
Ps I state that I downloaded two Motochopper 2.361Kb and one from the other by 4.147Kb obviously I used the larger one.
I did a test to delete something but nothing with Link2SD says I'm not activated on superuser permissions.
Thank you aid me then I'm sorry advice fhashare the ROM to the problem of memory?

Hi,
When it asks to update are you choosing "Continue" then "Normal"? If it is saying it failed, try rebooting phone. If that still dont work, Motochopper may not be able to root the phone and we will have to move on to next exploit. Try installing SRT AppScanner from Play Store and run that app, tell me if either of the bugs say vulnerable please.

Hi,
Ok next go here:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
Download Cydia impactor onto your Pc and extract it from .zip file. Then make sure USB debugging is enabled on phone then connect phone and run the Impactor tool, once Impactor tool opens, just hit start button. As long as there are no errors once it completes, download SuperSU app from market/Play Store. Now try opening SuperSU app and see if it will let you update binary, if so first choose "Continue" then on next question choose "Normal". if it updates successfully you are rooted my friend!
(Also - my apologies, the select "Continue" and then "Normal" from previous post was referring to SuperSU app, not Superuser. I personally use SuperSU as Superuser doesnt work well with the newer phones I play with constantly.) If this too fails I know of 2 other options to gain root so we are not out of luck yet!
Thanks!
After 1 week of useless attempts to root an S4 clone (not so clear if using a MK6575 or 6577) with several other tools, I stumbled into this thread and read the suggestions given by Klown80 to hasci5582.
My phone had the same vulnerability issues and was then rooted without a hitch by Cydia Impactor.
So I registered to xda-developers, just to say:
Thanks Klown80!
SuperUS
Dear friend, sorry for the late reply but weekend I brought out my children and I have not had time to do anything on cellulare.Ho followed your directions and it worked (honestly when I uninstall something tells me with Link2SD Fallitio but erases the itself), however, it worked thank you.
Sorry if I ask this question but now that the root would be fair to ask you what to do:
flash the ROM because I always say 32gb of which 31 are used even if I deleted many useless programs of the system.
or change the system that I have seen Android version 4.2.9 does not exist.
Sorry if tartasso of questions but I see you are very esperto.dimmi you please if you just so I could do something?
Thank you really

First off welcome to XDA ! To root your device I would recommend checking out this thread and downloading the root tool from the link in that thread. Make sure to follow the onscreen instructions of the bat file included in the root tool very carefully that you will use to root your phone. If you have any questions about anything involving the rooting process, or have any questions at all about Android customization of Android in general feel free to ask (You can PM me as well if you want).

The root procedure should still work with 4.2.2 but to be on the safe side I would recommend instead checking out this thread that will show you how to root your LG G2 (D802) with the shipping ROM (Android 4.2.2). Make sure to watch the video in that thread (At least) twice over that way you feel comfortable with the root procedure, and what is involved. As far as does it effect the bootrom which I take it you are referring to your devices stock ROM that is on the device. Rooting does not effect the stock ROM on your device it just gives you root file system access and superuser privileges (Root user, which is like administrator privileges on Windows), in the process of rooting your device the Superuser app and su binary will be installed this is what allows you to run root apps and other root tasks. If you still have questions let me know.
thanks so much mate , i appreciate the help you gave , :good: ,
My phone is Rooted now thanks , any ideas or stuff you wanna share if you got any ? mods maybe dont mind me if im asking so much

Glad you got it rooted! The next step if you want to customize it further is to install a custom recovery image such as TWRP following the instructions in the thread. A custom recovery image will allow you to backup your stock ROM, flash custom ROMs, custom kernels and other MODs. For custom ROM's Cyanogenmod 11 for your device is a great custom ROM to start with lots of great customization options and performance tweaks. I would start with these and then I would check out the G2 D802 Android Development Section, if you want to customize further. Always happy to help people out, let me know how it goes :good:.
