Wow!! i had lost all hopes... i had not checked my account for like.. around a month.... Happy to know u guys...
Right now im looking around for a hardware hack for this device.... As you know this device heats up like hell... check out this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-4x-hd/general/guide-homemade-heatsink-easy-to-make-t2971385
Will be trying it today with some modifications... will let u guys know the results when done :good::good:
Basics first!!
To people who own this device and are surfing the threads here on XDA for some mods and ROMS. First of all....
Root Guide
The method that worked out for me was by some chinese software 'Root genius'.There was another app that worked as well,Mobogenie.I would recommend Root genius over Mobogenie. Mobogenie turned out to become a virus in my pc... (even though no harm was done to my device)
Root Genius roots your device partially... Carry on with the procedure below for complete root access.
CWM Recovery
A prebuilt CWM recovery is available for almost every MTK device and can be flashed as follows...
1) Download MtkDroidTools.
2) U need to be rooted to use MtkdroidTools successfully.
3)Connect Your device to the pc. The root exploit of Root Genius roots the device partially.Hence a yellow box appears at the bottom-left of the window.An option to root device appears on the window.Through this option,complete root can be obtained.
4)Once you are rooted,First thing is to backup your NVRAM and IMIE number.An option to Backup your complete Rom is also available here.
5)In the 'root, backup, recovery' tab there an option labelled 'Recovery and Boot'.Select the suitable option from the three.A detailed procedure can be obtained by Google
6)Confirm the windows that appear and you are good to go.
I know this is not the best guide, but a bit of surfing around will get your job done.Many instructional threads are already present here on XDA.This post just gives you a brief procedure and some apps which worked for me.The same procedure and apps have been already discussed intensively here on XDA.Use this thread just as an index of apps for the procedure.
Credits : To the developers of all the software mentioned above.
@avinash... we would like to have a guide from you about your developments.
Anybody who have some development going on are welcome to contribute.. :good:
Twrp is the best buddy. :d

Hello great xda-developer,
I found in threads where we have good solutions for rooting ubislate 7+.
Datawind team is recently launched new Aakash 2 (Ubislate 7Ci) which is andriod 4.0.* version. I have ordered my ubislate on feb 12 and upgraded recently for the same version. I will be getting this in weeks of time. I wanted your help on this.
Could you please provide the steps for rooting this device Ubislate 7Ci) and also heard that this device has data card connectivity which is restricted to either Tata Photon (for kernal root version is#024) and huawei e353 (for kernal root version is#182) as mentioned by datawind team. It will not detect any other data card like (my datacard) Macromax MMX 353g 3g datacard. Could you please crack the kernel version which should supports all data cards…that would be the great help for all us indian….Please take this has challenge..Keep me updates on this blogs..

I have also sent mail to Datawind to release kernel sources. Once I receive them, development will be started.

I have followed the process explained in ROOTING your Ubislate 7ci to install ADB drivers and root my Ubislate 7ci.
Great.
Now time for custom ROM.
But before that we need kernel sources.
Email datawind tech support. Call them. Make pressure. Ask them to release it immediately as they're violating GNU GPL license.
Do let me know if we got anything.
Edit: Whoa! Interesting thing I came to know:
I was preparing up to build CWM, I did searched for recovery partition. But it was pretty hard, as there's no mtd in /proc
I contacted a Recognized Developer psyke83, he did some checks and we concluded that Datawind most probably stolen codes from a Chinese company Allwinner.
Allwinner's tab partition / build is 99% similar to Ubislate. This all happen (I pretend), as Allwinner gave license to manufacture around 10,000 model of their tab.
And datawind used their code to build Ubislate series (Even hardware specs is similar too).
TL;DR
This means datawind might not easily release kernel sources. Threaten them. We need to get kernel sources, as they might have modified a few things.
This will also reveal their secret.
Edit 2: Tab is Skytex Skypad Alpha 2. Don't flash anything from that tab, now.

I used a CWM recovery which is meant for Allwinner tab and it worked in Ubislate 7ci . I have attached it here Please use it at your discretion, No guarentees that it will work in your device.WARNINGAfter this recovery I flashed an incompatible CWM touch recovery which softbricked my 7ci

Now, please sign this https://www.change.org/en-IN/petitions/datawind-release-kernel-source-code-for-ubislate-devices-2 petition, so that we can get kernel sources.
Everyone, please sign this petition. We'll get custom ROMs after kernel source code release.

Yes. You can download adb.exe and supporting DLLs from the multiple avenues available and use it. You probably would need the Google driver from android SDK for your device to be recognized by adb. I have attached the copy of my drivers.
How do i install it?
can anyone write a small detailed guide to root our ubislate7ci with minimum resources(i mean a guide that makes use of small resouce files like the drivers from the above post)

Hello, so few days ago I bought a new phone, Gigabyte Gsmart Aku A1, and I've seen a lot of bloat in it and some SystemUI bugs (No lockscreen shortcuts in settings). So I was wondering how do I root this phone? I can't find anything about this phone, since it launched recently.
EDIT: Nevermind, I used MTK 6598 Root tutorial and it worked.

Well, it's powered by one of the fastest MediaTek chips, MTK 6598, it has Quad-core Cortex A5 clocked at 1.2 GHz, so far I've never encountered any lag, I can even play GTA 3 maxed out. Build quality is very good too, it's quite heavy which gives the phone a feel that if it drops it won't fall apart like Galaxy S3 or those thin, light smartphones. The display resolution is good, and the touch is good, but the viewing angles are pretty bad (the horizontal ones are just fine, but the vertical has ultimate color-shifts. Battery is good, I can last about 2 - 3 days, depending on usage. The only disappointing about the phone is the camera, well it has good focus and not that much noise than on my previous Xperia U phone, it lacks colors, they're very cold. But if you want to take pictures just buy a camera and be happy with it. So overall for the price (Got it for 190$) it's the #1 price to performance phone. It's much better than my Xperia U which lagged a lot, now there's 0 lag.

Hello dear friends , somebody port TWRP recovery for this phone?
Cuz CWM do not have the full functionality
Hi, I just bought Gigabyte GSmart Aku A1 for my parents, but there are no simple way to get Estonian language to this phone. I tried morelocal 2, but it translated only few general shortcuts for google stuff.
My parents don't understand English and it is very important to get the UI menus to Estonian.
Can anyone help me to find a way to translate UI.
I am grateful for any help.

While I'm not the expert, I think any post with [MT65xx] in the beginning will apply to your phone. For example, this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
BTW, nice phone! Looks like the real S4, just that the S4 I've seen was black.

Sorry in advance, I don't want to get your hopes up - I'm definitely NOT a developer! I had a question about your device though. I have near identical specs to yourself in my phone (GT I9502):
ALPS GT I9502
SYSTEM (Android 4.2.2)
Model: GT-I9502
Manufacturer: alps
Chipset: MT6572
Device: android_4x_wet_jb3
Product: android_4x_wet_jb3
Brand: GT-I9502
Android Version: 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean)

Does any of the above look remotely familiar to your own device?
My phone is bricked, but research suggests that I might be able to build a new ROM based on the "system/" of a working device, using Android Kitchen. I'm told that entering the following code into the Terminal Emulator on a working device, creates a dump of the "system/" on the SD card, which can then be used to build the custom ROM in Android Kitchen:
Code:
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
If you give this a go, and succeed in Android Kitchen, I'd be really grateful if you could let me know, and perhaps share the ROM? At the moment finding a copy of the stock ROM looks to be my only solution at this point!
TIA

Ok, not to worry. Unfortunately I can't give you the link to the website. The original advert said that it had an 8MP camera, however it only has 4.9MP! I challenged the seller on this, and it looks as though they have stopped advertising the phone. I bought it through Amazon and the seller was 'Active Tek' based in China. I would avoid using this seller as they clearly missold the phone to me.
hi could you help me with the s4 clone I've tried it to load an images which is not so successful but this is also happening to my regret my backup is gone great if you had what

i have the same phone. but dont know how to root it. visit: samclone.blogspot.com
Hi, I have got exactly the same device as you have. I got the parcel yesterday; it had an app pre-installed called antutu, that antutu thingy says that the device has got arm v7 CPU named universal 5410, clocked at 1.7 gigs.
Ram of about 2 gigs and internal storage of 16 GB. However today I installed an app named CPU identifier that showed that its CPU was mt6572, mali400 GPU and to a heartbreaking surprise, only 512 mb of ram. Please tell me that this CPU identifier is crap and I have got a whole 2 gigs of ram. One more thing is that device is stunningly fast and efficient in handling big apps.
I also found some flaws; smart pause and smart scroll (eye sensor) only worked once or twice; GPS never worked; hand flip only works on one side. May be these issues can be resolved by installing a custom ROM.

Try this Firmware! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46762784&postcount=96
Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root
try flash

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

Can you upload the files and send us the links?
The files I am downloading from the Chinese website are corrupted.
(also if possible to give guide on the chinese TWRP, and what to do with it).
Also it will be very helpful if you could send the exact URL to the Root guide
and the exact URL for the how to install gapps guide.
Thank you.
I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):

Oh, yeah and thank you so much XDA for using Recaptcha which is blocked in China, it makes posting anything useful soo much easier from within China.
I reuploaded mtk fladh tool + twrp recovery with img and scatter file to bunch of international mirrors, link to them is in my review and howto root tutorial on my blog linked in my post above. Whole ZIP package is misding only USB driver which is not rrally necessary and its on plenty of websites to dpwnload.

Thank you PeterMarkoff !!
Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

Hello Guy's,
I'm new here, That being said I am at a stand still. I have a Mlais M9 rooted good to go!, Takee 1 on the way (4.2 Easy root job) and my main phone is an Mstar M1 Pro (Crazy awesome phone for $130) Problem is nothing seems to root the thing (iRoot, Kingroot, Kingo Root, Framroot +). I'm not looking to flash custom roms or other advanced stuff, I just want root access for some fun gaming and apps. I saw one other thread on here, that no one ever responded to... Poor guy. If any other person on earth has bought this phone, and by chance rooted it your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sorry, can't help with that , but can you tell me about your mstar? I have only just started to notice ads for it - looks nice and specs great too (if genuine , and mediatek owns mstar, so would like to think they are and that 5.0 works properly) .
Can't find any genuine hands-on reviews , only cut and paste jobs from people regurgitating the specs sheet (and other people's cut and pastes ! ) So , any good , do you think ?
P.s. How many phones ?!

Hi,
I have the same phone, great and fast device but i'm also not able to root it.
I found this,
"MStar S700, M1, M1pro, MLais M4note, M7 also root by the same method.
that is SuperSU2.49.zip through Carliv recovery.
I have S700 and M1 pro, Use all method from M4note that you can found in needrom.com (Special for only M1-M1pro, we can push custom recovery in fastboot mode)"
Maybe this can help?
let me know

i,ve just bought a mstar m1 pro,it will turn on,but there is no response fron the touchscreen,have done a soft and a hard reset? any help
Please help.
Have tried emailing mstar support, but no reply.
Do mstar provide support?
:crying:
I root mine today with king root. First I open an app call stabilitytest then i press home and open king root and start the rooting process. When the % is at 30 i long press home to go to stabilitytest app and start the the test (the first on the list). Then I return to king root by long press the home button. It work after the third try.
I have also rooted Mstar M1 Pro a week ago with KingRoot. I had a bit different experience, roughly like this:
- enable USB debugging (Settings. Developer options) and installing from unknown sources (Settings, Security)
- download latest KingRoot APK from their website http://www.kingroot.net/ (Download for Android)
- install KingRoot
- run KingRoot .. it will run for a while, than will restart the phone
- when phone restarts you'll get nothing new, no msgs or notifications, so I've run KingRoot again
- it will run for a while, and will FAIL - but ignore that, and click "try again" or something like that
- let it run for a while, and it will root the phone finally
I had similar experience with few more phones. Basically, try 3-4 times, if it reboots - try again, if it fails - try again, if it says it does not have a profile for your phone - try again. Somehow, after 1-3 retries (depending on a phone and my luck) I've rooted 4 phones with KingRoot in the same weekend, each a different model. And like I've already said - my Mstar M1 Pro was one of them.
