[Q] Rooting Bsnl Penta IS701r ??

I have purchased a new low cost tablet from pantel. I tried to root it. But all rooting apps asks to enable USB Debugging option. But in my tablet i dont have that option. There is no Development menu under Settings > Applications menu. Is there any way to root my tablet?
OS: android 2.3.3
I got the USB Debugging option on my tab by following the steps given below,
Step1: Install the "LauncherPro" App.
Step2: If u cant see the installed "LauncherPro" app, install "HomeSwitcher" App.
Step3: Open the "homeswitcher" and open the "LauncherPro" from the list.
Step4: Now the launcher is changed in your tab. Go to the "home screen". long press on the empty area of the home screen.
Step5: You will be asked with some "Add to home screen" options. In that select "shortcuts".
Step6: You will be asked to "Select Shortcut". In that select "Activities".
Step7: In next screen scroll down to select "Settings". On pop down select "Development". Then select "Ok"
Now you got the "Development" shortcut on home screen. Open that to enable/disable USB Debugging option.
But still i'm not able to root my tab.
I tried all the apps listed below,
1. Z4root - it exits after few seconds while rooting. no change.
2. universal androot - no Fu Goo error.
3. Gingerbreak - Runs forever. no change.
Is there any other way to root.

Can you connect the tab to Windows PC as USB Mass Storage? I think that the USB functionality has been blocked.

Root Lenovo / Medion Life / Op3n Dott P4502 with Kingo Root

Following the excelent post by member shanti77 here I was able to root my Medion P4502 (MD 98942; Android 4.4.2; Kernel 3.4.67) but with slight variations.
The main difference is that instead of iRoot I used Kingo Root. I know that some people would also prefer to use other options and therefore I decided to write this post.
Here are the steps:
1. Download and install Engineer Mode MTK Shortcut from Google Play
2. Open this app and under Log and Debugging -> User2Root tap on the Root button.
3. Switch on "Debugging Mode" on the phone:
-open Settings, then scroll all the way down to About phone. Once there, tap Software information, then tap Build number seven times. You'll see a notification alerting you that you are now a developer.
- go back to the main Settings page and you'll see a new entry for Developer options. Enable it and tick USB debugging option.
4. Download and install Kingo Root on your Windows box.
5. Start Kingo Root, connect your phone with USB in CD connection mode (not in Media connection mode!), click OK on the pop-up asking you to trust the computer and allow it to install necessary drivers in order to connect.
6. When connected, Kingo Root will recognize the phone as Lenovo P4502 and claim that it already is rooted. Don't be fooled by this and tap the Root Again button.
7. Afterwards update SuperSU apk (actual root access gatekeeper) installed by Kingo Root, set User2Root back to User (see p.2 above) and disable Developer Options in phone Settings (see p.3 above).

Root, cwm Recovery, Readback Micromax Canvas Nitro 2 3E11

Steps:
1. Download Mtk droid Tools, SP Flash Tools, drivers for your phone, (no need, just connect your e311 to pc and choose connect as buil in cd rom and install drivers).
2. People having windows 8/8.1/7 first of all disable driver signature verification(google it, pretty easy)
e.g. on windows 8/8.1 go to bottom right corner,choose setting on charm bar,select change pc settings, update and recovery,go to recovery,advance start up,restart, advance startup/troubleshooting, disable driver signature verification by pressing 7 on keyboard(you need physical keyboard, touch keyboard won't be there).
3. READBACK ROM BACKUP
i. open/run as administrator MTK droid Tools, your phone should be switched on, connect it,accept usb connection on phone, let the droid tools detect it and show its specifications.(make sure usb debugging is enabled)
ii. click on blocks map, a window tile of block info will pop up. Note down or better save it using notepad++/screenshot by pc or ms word file, you need values of preloader and userdata/(some other phones may show FAT,don't panic,it's just your internal sd partition) under scatter column(also note the values under size column for backing up a single item like recovery, for entire rom you only need scatter column values of preloader and userdata/FAT).
iii. alongwith block info, a tile asking to creat scatter file will pop up, create it. This will be our scatter file for SP Flash Tools.
iv. Disconnect usb, switch off phone. you may close mtk droid tools, it will be needed after next step.
4. Open/Run SP Flash Tools as administrator,
i. click scatter loading and select previously created scatter file.
ii. click on readback tab on sp flash tools..then click on add button.
iii. double click on the item (it should be checked in the selection box)and save it as ROM_0(default) or ROM_1 , it does not matter.This will be a large file approx 3.2 GB so save it to a dedicated folder on pc not usb.
iv. next readback block address tab will open, under start address value will be like 0x00000000, leave it as it is(don't change to 0x0), under length use the value under scatter column of userdata/FAT previously noted in block info..Make note that value entered should be like 0x1234567 and not like 0x0001234567. the zeros after 0x should be removed and only till first non zero value after that and middle zeros like 120458000 shoud be written as it is. The length value may be numeric for some phones but e311 will show like 0x000CDF7000, Don't worry enter it like 0xCDF7000. This is just example not actual value, i assume each phone will show different value.
v. after entering length and pressing ok, click readback and now connect switched off phone.
vi. after that click ok and wait for readback to complete. It will take about 7-11 minutes depending on your pc processor. a green check will appear on completion.
vii. close Sp flash tools, disconnect usb. switch on phone.
5. Open MTK droid tools,connect switched on phone,select the root,backup,recovery tab.
6.Click*To*process*file*ROM_*from*Flash*Tool.
7. *Select*the*ROM_1*file*you*saved*in*the*step*above*in*the*window*that*pops*up.
8.*Wait*for*MTK*Droid*tools*to*finish*copying.
9. *When*prompted*to*make*CWM*Recovery*automatically,*click*Yes*or*No*.*If*you*click*Yes,*you'll*need*to*select
the*Recovery.img*from*the*window*that*pops*up.This will make cwm recovery, take backup of stock recovery.
10. Your Rom backup will be in MTK DROID TOOLS/backup folder. You can now flash cwm created in backup with Sp Flash Tools and also root your phone by flashing supersu.

Installing Drivers for Micromax Cannvas Nitro 2 E311:
(A) Enable usb debugging on E311:
1. Go to settings, about phone, tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options.
2. Select developer option, check box for usb debugging, thats it.
3. Also allow installation of apps from unknown sources under Personal/security in settings menu...useful for installation of apps that are not from play store.
(B) Install Drivers:
1. Connect Switched on or even switched off phone with pc via usb cable. It will automatically install driver.
If step 1 does not work for you then
2. Connect your phone via usb, it will be connected as MTP Device. Change it to connect as Built in CD Rom. It will show as cd drive/micromax e311.
3. Open it, there will be drivers folder alongwith usb guide(useless).
4. Inside drivers folder, there is drivers auto installer,within that folder you will find drivers with installation instruction on excel sheet.
It should work but even if it does not then search google for auto drivers installer for micromax devices or pda net or drivers for specific model no. like e311, a311, etc.
MTK DROID Tools Not reading phone:
1. Just check if you have usb debugging allowed or not. If not then do so as explained above.
2. When you connect switched on phone via usb to pc, MTK Droid Tools should be running as administrator(not necessary on windows Xp).
3. After running MTK Droid Tools and connecting usb, a message will pop up on phone asking to allow/accept usb debugging for droid tools, allow/accept it.... wait for few seconds and MTK droid tools will show info for E311 as connected.
In case of difficulties search mediafire.com for drivers, picture guide for readback backup,root and recovery, cwm image and MT6592_Android_scatter uploaded by me. I was trying to post them here but XDA won't allow it as it's my 2nd post only and they allow it after 10 posts only. I'm giving the file names as searching will be easier i hope
