In Flash Tools, at the top click the “Download” box.

Some recommend a battery pull for a few seconds, but it wasn’t a step I took.

Unplug your phone from the PC and turn it off.

Now in the bottom half of Flash Tool, you should see ‘Recovery’ checked and pointing to the custom ‘recovery.img’ for your phone. If a scatter file wasn’t included with your phone’s custom recovery, follow this tutorial. Click that box and navigate to and select the scatter file in the recovery folder downloaded for your phone.

On the right side of the Flash Tool, you’ll see “scatter loading”.

Run flash_tool.exe from the previously extracted flash tools folder.

Confirm at the top of device manager you see “Android Phone” > “Android ADB”.

See the forum here and if you don’t see a recovery for your phone, you can request it.

A CWM / TWRP recovery made specifically for your phone.

What we’re doing is replacing the stock recovery image with one that will allow us to inject rooting privileges. The theory behind rooting isn’t complicated. Please see the thread linked here. If you’ve got an older phone, you can continue on with this tutorial.

NOTE: We now have an updated thread on how to create TWRP for the newer SoC China phones such as MT6735 MT6753, MT6755. I take no responsibility for whatever evil may come to your phone from attempting to follow this procedure.

However, I can only account for my own current phone which is Hero h7500+. This should work with most of the recent MTK6589 releases (Zopo zp800h, zp810, zp950+, zp900h, Caesar a9600, Hero h7500+, MX56, MX86). While the same basic idea applies, I’ve upgraded the tutorial a bit with new tools and a different root file. About a month back I wrote a tutorial on how to root MTK6589.
