So. I deceided to join this forum in order to ask for some help from all those people I saw while searching the net.
I have to admit I am quite a noob with mobile systems, although I have gone way too far the last 3 days!
Here is the problem: I have an mt6575 processor phone in which want to add Greek Language settings. I have downloaded a folder form the manufacture's site, but it didn't contain any instructions. Just some .bin files (ALICE.BIN VIVA.bin, SANSTAR50_6464_11B_BOOTLOADER_V005_MT6250_MAUI_11B_W11_32_SP_V1.bin and ZIMAGE_ER.bin)and a scatter file that can not be read by flash tool (scatSANSTAR50_6464_11B.txt).
After a lot of reading around here and a lot of other forums and sites I realised that in order to do anything, I had to root my phone. I wasn't able to do it through superclick or mtk droid tools so I followed the instructions I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
However, I am stuck on the final step.. I can't seem to get my phone on cwm mode... In fact I am not sure I know what exactly this is. I manage to open my phone on the android recovery utility but I am not able to make any choice. Everytime I press some of the menu's choises an android robot with an exclamation mark fills the screen and nothing happens...
Anyway..even if I manage to finalize the rooting process.. I still don't know what to do with the files I have... should I use them somehow on flash tool?
By the way.. The files come with a tool called Multiport Download Flash Tool which looks like Sp flash tool but has too many port options.
I'd be glad if someone helped me with this!
Thank you in advance,
Irene
1. Dump your stock recovery image then make a cwm or twrp (preferably twrp) from yueweng's thread for mediatek devices via old cwm or twrp port tool
2. Flash it via sp flash tool (download MTK 6575 scatter from internet)
3. Then reboot into recovery and if in twrp then reboot and it will ask you to root it or not
Or
If in cwm then download supersu Flash zip file and flash it
You have root access now
Press thanks if helped

Go through this thread nicely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59483000
There's the process to root and unlock bootloader.
Also before rooting change from cwm to philz touch recovery. You will get all that in that thread. Go thoroughly.
Before doing that, just do a fresh upgrade.
Good luck! :thumbup:

This thread was made for persons looking for custom roms for the Alcatel Pop C2
I found a custom rom for the Alcatel Pop C3 4033x and this phone has the exact same specs as the Alcatel Pop C2 4032a. This is a guide on how to install the rom and report any bugs you may have with the rom other than the ones that are already there.
NOTE: I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROM I'M JUST SHARING IT HERE. The person who created the rom is from the miui forum and you can visit that forum and thank him here.

HOW TO INSTALL
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted Phone
ADB Drivers
Custom Recovery
Make a backup first in case anything happens.
Download the rom and gapps from the download section and place it somewhere on your computer.
Install a custom recovery, i would recommend using the Carliv Touch Recovery 2.7 or any recovery that can install zip from sideload. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A RECOVERY WITH THIS FEATURE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY DATA( INTERNAL STORAGE). ALSO DO NOT INSTALL USING SDCARD EITHER!
Place the rom in the same folder where it is possible to use ADB, what i did was allow ADB to work from anywhere on the PC. You can do that here if you wish.
Go to recovery by either using the button method or use some app to go to recovery. Do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Go to install zip then install zip from sideload.
Open the command window from the folder where your rom is by pressing shift then right click if you are able to run ADB from anywhere OR doing it the other way open the command window from the folder where the ADB is.
Type in the command window: adb drivers
then adb sideload and the name of the rom
It will start loading and sending the rom to your phone.
Do the same for the gapps.
A trick when at the sideload step, press the first two letters of the rom name and then press tab and it will fill out the rest of the letters.
DOWNLOADSROM
Gapps- Download other google apps from the playstore
SCREENSHOTS- The emergency calls only are there because i did not have a sim in the phone but it can work with a sim :good:

Enjoy the root and modifications with the phone!!
Here i post what you can use after rooting the devise.....

Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.
Good evening, can you tell me the correct procedure for how to Root the Cubot p50 smartphone? Thank you.

Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

Hi, you will have, or should have, downloaded a zip file containing a recovery.img. The recovery.img is the file you need to flash. Then follow the instructions here:
How to Install TWRP Recovery on Any Android 2022 [100% Working]
In this article, I will be showing you how you can install TWRP recovery on any Android smartphone. By following this guide you will be able to install

The TWRP Recovery file it refers to is the one you (hopefully) downloaded from this link:

BUT, you also need to flash a vbmeta file BEFORE and AFTER the recovery.img, and I'm still unsure which vbmeta file it is, as elimoviebuff hasn't replied to my question regarding that.

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
