There are several auto-root tools that work with older MTK devices and older versions of Android, but up until a couple days ago, there was no Auto-Root option for MTK6589 and the newer android versions (4.1/4.2)
So far this has been tested with Hero H7500+ / ZP810 / ZP800H, Star N9500. We invite you to test this on unrooted ROMs on your device and add your results here and to the thread in the forum for future users.
NOTE: We now have an updated thread on how to create TWRP custom recovery for the newer SoC China phones such as MT6735 MT6753, MT6755. This method does not require root. Please see the thread linked here. If you’ve got an older phone with MT65xx type SoC, you can continue on with this tutorial.
The files you’ll need:
- PDAnet ADB MTK Drivers
- Auto Root Files
- 11-MAY-2015: Added new tool to auto-install drivers and adb command set to our Facebook group.
What to do:
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled. Go to settings > developer options > enable USB debugging
- Install the PDAnet Drivers
- Extract the MTK6589 Auto Root folder from the .rar download
- Connect your phone to PC visa USB
- Run run.bat from the extracted MTK6589 Auto Root folder
- Press any key and wait while it roots your phone
- After finished, now reboot
- Bam, you’re rooted. Verify root with a ‘Root Checker’ app from Play, or run any app you know requires root and you should see a root permissions request
