Hello all XDA Members and others who are viewing this thread.
I finally found a way to root the IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT MediaTek devices!
I personally used it on Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 MT6592M with 2 Gb RAM 1.4 Ghz Octa Core Processor MT6592M.
Devices that won't be rootable by apps like Kingo Root, Vroot(for a certain time), Framaroot, towelroot etc can be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users can also follow this guide created by The Android Soul for picture tutorial. : Click Here
Note : If you're rooted but want to install CWM then follow this guide to create CWM and flash it via SP Flash Tool or Just copy the created recovery and flash it via Rashr (Download from play store)
Let's get started without wasting time.
Things you'll need MTK Drivers : All MTK Drivers 2014
Your Phone with USB Debugging Mode turned on in Developer Section
Usb Cable and most Important
A Calm head :silly:
A video is already available link is in 1st point.
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"]Warning Rooting Voids warranty. I would in any means not be responsible for dead devices, bricked SD cards or any other activity that leads to damage of your device. If you know the risks still want to continue then go ahead.[/SIZE][/B]
First we would like to load scatter file for our device. Process in the video link in 1st point.
Disconnect the phone's battery (if any) [ IN CASE OF XOLO HIVE JUST SWITCH OFF THE DEVICE THEN WAIT FOR 30 seconds and connect the device ] and then press volume up button and connect it with PC it will connect device in preloader mode.
1) We would like to have a backup of our UNROOTED stock ROM. Download MTK Droid Tools (Google it) and then use this method to backup your UNROOTED stock ROM. It is basically Read Back method from SP Flash tool Follow this video tutorial : How to backup unrooted stock ROM
Warning : Please do not continue this tutorial if your device has fake information or any kind of restriction or ubifs file system or you'll brick the device. You have been warned.
This is a text guide for the video :
2) After backup extract the firmware you created using MTK Droid Tools. Process given in video.
3)Now when you get boot.img for your device you're good to go
4) Open MTK Droid tools with administrative privileges and make sure your phone is connected and then migrate to root,backup,recovery tab and click the option to choose boot.img from and locate your stock boot image and make a CWM recovery from it.
5) Wait for process to complete and then check recovery folder inside MTK Droid tools folder. There you'll find two files
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]XXXX_bootpatched.img & XXXX_recovery.img[/B][/COLOR]
6) Now open SP flash tool and load the MTKXXXX_Android_scatter_txt and untick every option except for boot.img and recovery.img. Then click on both tabs and locate the modified images created by MTK Droid tools which can be found in recovery folder itself if you haven't moved them.
7) Make sure your phone isn't connected at this time and then hit download button in SP Flash Tool and then with phone's battery removed with volume up button pressed connect it to PC and then flash process will begin. After completion you'll see a green circle at that point disconnect your phone and switch it on. Don't disturb the phone until flashing completes and you see a green circle.
Congratulations! You have CWM Recovery for your device without ROOT!
ROOTING
1) Now download this zip file and flash it via CWM Recovery. SuperSU.zip and reboot.
Congo many will get root access now but not Xolo HIVE You do need to flash this zip. Users that don't get root after flashing supersu zip can also continue further.
2) Download Vroot from here and install it.
3) Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and wait till it detects your device.
4) Now click root button and voila you're rooted!
Now reboot and you'll see the superuser app Now you'll have two Superuser apps (NOT XOLO HIVE USERS) SuperSU from flash and Superuser from Vroot. Not to worry just open SuperSU and it will automatically ask to remove the other Superuser app choose that and reboot and you're done
Luckily those who don't want or find complication in SP Tool Read back method, just download the stock ROM for your device and extract boot.img from it and then follow same steps from 4th step at the beginning from where to create CWM for your device.
I suggest use androidxda.com for most stock ROM's.
Xolo HIVE 8x-1000 users don't Panic I have your CWM and Boot image ready Just download from here : Xolo HIVE Recovery.img
Xolo HIVE Boot Patched.img.
KINDLY DON'T MIRROR MY FILES. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE GIVE THIS LINK TO PEOPLE.
Xolo HIVE users I saved your work upto step 5 from step 6 ,i.e, flashing you need to do manually
I know it's a long and complicated process but it is only method working until a new exploit is available to root the impossible mtk devices.
Conisder me a donation if you can as it will help me to make more guides and apps
If you cant donate hit thanks :good:
That won't cost you!
EDIT : I am adding Xolo MT6592 scatter file too in case you can't generate it. Remember to load scatter file uncheck all options leaving boot.img and recovery.img then flash the boot and recovery I provided ONLY XOLO HIVE USERS

bro i want to ask you about the scatter file, because you have not provided that and it is most useful. i have a xolo hive 8x 1000 and when i am trying to generate scatter file then this error comes. and i have read that this can brick the phone. And the person in the video you suggested in step 1 also said in his video not to proceed if any error comes. so please help.
Scatter file can be easily made :?
You just have to click block path tab it won't brick :/
Also I have provided Xolo HIVE recovery and bootpatched file! Just download this and flash it via SP Flash Tool! You can create scatter yourself! Watch the video!
Connect your phone with USB Debugging on and connect to PC and let mtk droid tools read it.When it does then you click on blocks map tab!

Switch off the phone open sp flash tools load scatter file and uncheck all boxes excluding boot.img and recovery.img make sure you downloaded the recovery.img and boot.img I attached in the post, just locate my given recovery.img and boot.img and click download button on sp flastool then connect your phone while u keep the volume up button pressed. Now the process will begin and it will give a green circle on successful completion. Switch on the device install vroot on PC I gave link in thread then just connect your phone with USB debugging on and then wait for Vroot to detect the phone then click root and you're done.

Well nothing worked for Xolo Hive if you read my guide too. Flashing SuperSU.zip ends up in a infinite binary update with failure
can you please root xolo 8x-1100
i also don't have pc
I certainly have helped rooting Xolo 8x-1100 and 8x-1200 to a member.
You need PC for flashing boot.img and recovery.img, Sorry my friend: (
Or try rooting via towelroot first then tell me if you succeed.
Also download your stock ROM from here and send me the recovery.img from it follow this link and download : Xolo Play 8x-1100 stock rom

leave all that...unless you either s-off or unlock your bootloader you cant go ahead rooting ur phone..follow the below method which i find is easiest::::
#1 unlock ur bootloader using htcdev method(www.htcdev.com) (remember this will void ur warranty).plz do watever is mentioned step by step on the site....
#2 after u unlock bootloader u will still have s-on but ur device is now rootable...
#3 root ur device using unlockroot one click tool (www.unlockroot.com) and u will have root access superuser installed..congrats u r now rooted
#4 installing clockworkmod recovery on your phone via fastboot method (plz dont use rom manager to install cwm recovery as it just provides a temp recovery)..just do it via fastboot method (scan xda forum on how to do it via fastboot)....done ...u r ready to flash a custom rom...
#5 download any custom rom for wildfire (ex:cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 buzz)and place it on sd card...turn off ur phone and reboot into bootloader and select recover,,ur device will now boot into recovery..then select install zip from sd option and choose the rom file...congrats ull now boot into a custom rom...(dont forget to backup ur existing rom )..hope it does the job for u....

For people who dont know what CWM recovery and its benefits are, read this -> http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-clockworkmod-recovery-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
So, here are the steps on getting the CWM on Karbonn A18-
What you need
1. Karbonn A18, data usb cable.
2. Download the CWM recovery image file from the attachment below this post.
3. Download SP Flash Tool from my another post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353992&d=1348592592

Installation Steps-
1. Unzip and Install the MTK6575 USB drivers on your Windows PC, just run setup.exe.

2. Copy the CWM recovery file that you downloaded from my attatchment. Rename it to be recovery.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5. Click on Options, check USB mode.
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your downloaded scatter.txt file. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "RECOVERY". Leave Recovery checked. Now click on the "RECOVERY" just right to the checkbox and browse and select the cwm.img file you downloaded from the attachment below.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. Warning messages will occur, but ignore them..
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this the Congrats You have flashed CWM !
Check by unplugging the phone and re-starting it with Power+Volume Down button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM !.
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.

Click Scatter-loading
Select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (for Canvas 4) found in extracted CWM
Click Download button or press F9
Shutdown your Canvas 4 and connect it with Micro USB to PC running the Flash Tool

Restart phone and Done!
THROUGH MOBILE UNCLE TOOLS(requires root...chk rooting procedure below)
download mobile uncle CWM..extract it and transfer RECOVERY.img to your phone's sd card
download mobile uncle toolkit from playstore and open it
select "update recovery" option and select the recovery.img file in your SD card
restart phone and done!
Rooting Canvas4
USING EXPLOIT:
using an exploit means using an available loophole in the firmware to root...this is done automatically by softwares like MOTOCHOPPER and FRAMAROOT
MOTOCHOPPER
Download MOTOCHOPPER and extract it to a folder in your PC
connect your phone to PC via USB cable
open the folder containing motochopper and start run.bat
a command prompt window will open...just follow onscreen steps
your mobile will reboot in some time....and DONE!!
FRAMAROOT(easiest method to root)
download framaroot app from the xda link given above
install framaroot and start the app
follow onscreen instructions
reboot phone done!NOTE: ROOTING WORKS WITH FRAMAROOT VERSION 1.5 and abv
WITHOUT USING EXPLOIT: this method doesnt use a loophole but forces the root on your device...which means this method is always successful...however you need CWM installed for this method...which can be easily installed using SP flash tools(see above)
FLASHING SUPERSU
install CWM by using the method of SP flash tool
download supersu.zip from above links transfer it to your SD card
boot into recovery using mobile uncle(just select boot into recovery option from the app) OR power off phone...turn it back on while holding both the volume keys along with the power key to boot into recovery
select "install zip from sdcard" "choose zip from sd card"
select supersu.zip and select select yes
reboot phone from the recovery main menu...DONE you are rooted!
Flashing a ROM

download the rom you want to download from the ROM list given below and transfer the zip file to sdcard
boot into recovery
wipe cache partition
wipe data/factory reset
advanced->clear dalvik cache
mounts and storage->format /system
select "install zip from sdcard"...."choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file of the rom you just copied
after flashing finishes, reboot phone...the first booth after flashing every rom takes a long time...wait patiently....DONE...enjoy your new ROM!
THROUGH SP FLASH TOOL
same procedure as flashing CWM....just replace CWM with the downloaded SP FLASHABLE ROM
4> Unrooting Canvas4*
open supersu app in your app drawer
goto SETTINGS tab
select full unroot
restart phone and done
*just unrooting your phone wont put it back into warranty...you need to get it to absolute stock factory level to claim any warranty so BEFORE unrooting the phone
just flash the stock rom using SP flash tools from given link
##### Another mention: taking backup of your ROM using CWM
this can be important as if you mess up while using a custom rom or you end up in a soft brick..you can recover using the backup of your ROMi advise that after installing CWM you should first make a backup of your STOCK ROM so that you can have access ti full stock unroot anytime(just restore the stock back up and unroot using supersu...easy isnt it!! no need of dwlding any stock rom)to make backup
boot into CWM recovery
goto backup and restore
create backup->yes
reboot...done!the backup files are stored in internal memory/clockwork folderkeep a copy of this folder in your PC at all times for any emergency that may arise in future(make sure you delete this folder while sending the phone for servicing under warranty)
to restore the backup
boot into recovery
select backup and restore
select restore->date if the recovery
reboot done!

WHAT IS ROOTING???(credits to Amit Taksali sir for this info)
ROOTING : WHAT IS IT?
The act of rooting is similar to yourself giving administrator privileges( as in your windows OS).
You gain access to root directory in system partition. In other words you gain total control on your device.
You may be familiar with Windows OS on your PC, so with windows or linux OS you have got guest user and an administrator. On your android device that you get out of the box the android OS comes only with guest user privileges and all the restrictions of it.
To gain access to administrator privileges and access system folder on your android device you need to root and this act is called ROOTING.
WHY TO ROOT?
If you dont have any other reason to root you should do it for the power of back ups. Tf something goes wrong with your device we normally do a factory-reset and will loose all our data and apps.
Setting-up your device again would be painstakingly boring and repetitive. Today we have various forms of back-ups that help us to restore our device as it was working perfectly before(for ex: an app named TITNIUM BACKUP gives you complete control on your apps).
After rooting flashing a custom recovery will help us a lot to make an nandroid backup of the complete ROM. The major benefit of flashing custom recovery is when flashing custom roms ad other customizations to our current rom. We can make an nandroid backup so that if something goes wrong , all we have to do is restore the nandroid backup and we still have a working device as it was before. We can also remove unwanted bloatware(pre-installed system apps) from our device and free up some space for other usefull apps.
Custom roms and custom recovery are more popular reasons for rooting. The best part of custom roms is that it can breath a new life to your ageing device and also boost the performance. Overclocking your cpu to get max performance can be done by rooting. If your burning through your battery you can undervolt the kernel and underclock the processor, to increase the battery life at the cost of performance.
There are tons of applications that requires root access such as TITANIUM BACKUP, ROOT EXPLORER, WIFI KILL, AD-FREE etc which comes with lots of power.
Now we may wonder why does the manufacturer holds back root access????????????
Most android users are influenced by the software or the user interface(UI) that the manufacturer applies on top of the vanilla android or pure android. Take an example of galaxy s3 and s4.
The manufacturer will provide the latest version of android on their latest device(s4) rather than an older device(s3). They may also hold back an update for older s3. By rooting we can get latest android through custom roms on our older devices(s3) which may attract the customers to buy cheaper s3 than s4. The manufacturers do not want to loose these customers and that is why they hold back root access.
By rooting our device we can also get the latest updates to our device before the manufacturer provides it officially. Sometimes the manufacturer stops updates for older devices as google did for galaxy nexus. But there are many custom roms that have provided the latest kitkat to those devices.
Here we have a huge benefit that the developers of custom roms are not held by any restrictions like the device manufacturers.
For example samsung can never provide you with beats audio or bravia engine to your samsung devices, but we can enjoy the awesome beats audio as well as bravia engine using custom roms.
They will provide you with custom roms that will give these special effects on your device.
WHAT ABOUT WARRANTY AND HARD BRICKS???
Most of the people are hindering to root their device because of damage to warranty. This is not an issue at all as you can completely UNROOT your device back to stock and send ot for warranty without any issues. Personall I have sent my canvas hd without any issues any problems and got it repaired many times .
Speaking about breaking your device, the chances are pretty slim. It mostly happens only when we dont follow correct instructions while flashing roms or playing with the root access. I the chances of bricking device are less than 0.1% once again if you get stuck on bootloop or something like that there are lots of developers on XDA and other forums who will help you to come out of these problems and restore your device to working coditions.
At the end of the day its your money, you have paid for it. When you cant take a PC with only guest user access then why take it with android. Use yor device completely and explore the complete power of android.
HAPPY ROOTING.
CUSTOM ROMScustom roms are modded systems/OS that are made for our device....these can improve our device's performance or looks.....different custom roms have different features...some are faster while some bring another device's UI to our device...advantages of custom rom-renews the cell if you are bored with the old softwares-in case of canvas4...some games dont work on the stock rom...so a custom rom comes in handy if you are a gamerdisadvantages-not all custom roms are perfect...there are certain bugs present in each...

You don't have to root and install CWM again as you have done it once. PureXperia Z2 is already rooted. You have to just install the rom from the zip file. Follow the installation instructions in this post . Good Luck

You shouldn't have unlocked bootloader for rooting. Anyway,
Download and install these drivers again:
AQ4501_USBdriver
Also download and install VCOM drivers and CDC drivers in your PC (Google it)
If your phone is formatted and don't have any ROM, flash stock ROM using SP Tools v.5.1424 (Stock ROM and SP tools link)
(If you dont know to flash, ask me again)
Now root your phone by this working method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxlowF80deY

I have rooted my device and also installed vcom and cdc drivers. But not able to root in mtk droid tools again and this time backup option also doesn't appear in mtk droid tools. Can you help me?
Update:- I have unlocked and flashed cwm recovery and relocked it. When I boot into cwm recovery I get green sign in on mtk droid tools but soon I'm not able to run adb pull /system system in the adb terminal and when I normally boot I can't root my device in mtk droid tools even after installing vcom and CDC drivers. And also a question appears when I click on root like 'you want to root thorough established SU' like that i clicked on yes. Do I have to click no it do I have to install more drivers. Please help.

Don't get yourself too complicated..
If you have any custom recovery like CWM, just download SuperSU.zip and place it in SD card.
Then boot into recovery and flash (install) the zip file

No you didn't get it I had already rooted My device but the thing is I an trying to make a recovery flashable stock room zip for which I need to run "adb pull /system system" and when I did it skipped some beginning I don't know if they are important or not bit I want to do it perfectly. And I think the reason why it's not happening is because I didn't got green circle in the mtk droid tools.
Am I right?
The thing is I just want to port a ROM I.e. MIUI Rom but I followed two methods and they didn't work for me. I reach a point and then for failed. Like

http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/02/unpacprepack-bootimg-and-port-kernel.html?m=1
So.... Can you help me. By putting some easy method (I can do any complicated process but it should work) because I am freaking tired by reading posts on and on.

You cannot just port MIUI to our Android One device.
Our MTK configs are very much different from the generic MTK6582 ones..
You can only build it from the source (it's way too difficult)
So I'd advise you to stop trying this (not discouraging you)
BTW, why do you want to get recovery flashable ROM zip??
They are already available in plenty throughout the forums.

I wanted it to port a ROM. I'll try searching more threads and posts. But I didn't understand the meaning of "You cannot just port MIUI to our Android One device.

Welcome to android one . He is the younger brother of google nexus device . And every device has a configuration which it is based on that is called config . generic means general and only mt6582 chipset means it's android one . And as a brother android one have to follow footpaths of his elder brother google nexus . So that is why like all other nexus devices it needs to be built from scratch if a the purpose is to build a custom rom . Regular mtk devices has a lot of similarity in their rom structure that is why they can be ported from one to another . i hope all of the noobs confusion cleared out now .
