Gizbeat 101 – Root Your 4.2.1 MTK6589 Hero 7500+ / Zopo ZP800H / ZP810 / ZP950H / ZP950+
Beginners, please read this full tutorial as well – It explains some of these steps in more detail.
NOTE: This assumes you are starting fresh, or willing to start fresh with a new Flashable ROM and that you’ve already got it downloaded and extracted.
If you’ve already got a ROM installed and don’t want to reflash the entire ROM, you can attempt to just flash over the recovery and UBOOT/LK.BIN from steps 2 and 3 and clicking ‘Download’. This can be done by selecting the scatter file from your extracted ROM and then deselecting everything and pointing the “recovery” and “uboot” to the files from steps 2 and 3.
However, this sometimes will result in an error and in that case, you can try again with the “preloader” file from your ROM selected as well. If you’re still getting an error, just reflash the entire ROM following all steps below.
