easy step to root ur mtk6589 based android devices

[mobilehelper]

Step 1: Getting the USB Driver Installed.

You need a USB driver for the MT6589 device.
You can try and download the USB driver here: Driver_Auto_Installer.rar. Once you have downloaded the driver,
then install so that you can see the android device.
You should see a device under “My Computer”.
You may need to enable “Developer mode“, so just go to the “Settings” –> “Developer Options” –> “USB Debugging”
and ensure it is checked/ticked.

Alternatively, you can download the
to install the ADB driver. And here’s
how to install the PDANet’s software:

1. Double click on the downloaded PDANet’s software to start the installation process
2. While installing PdaNet you will get a window,
“Installing USB drivers” PdaNet will ask you to
uninstall the drivers that are previously installed
and then install using PdaNet. Click “ Yes”
to proceed further
3. Then select your device manufacturer.
If your device manufacturer (brand)
name is not listed, then select “Others” and click on “OK”
4. You will get an warning ignore it and click on
“Install the Drivers software anyway”
5. Now connect your phone to PC using
a USB cable and now it will start installing the drivers.
(Do not enable USB storage or tethering)
6. Wait till the process ends and let the drivers be installed.

When the Android driver is properly installed,
the Device Manager dialog (Go to Start button,
choose Run –> key in “devmgmt.msc”)
on your computer should look like this when your Android phone is attached:

Remember that the “Android ADB Interface”
must be listed without error.
If you do not see the “Android ADB Interface”
device, then try to make sure USB debugging is checked
on your Android phone.
Go to “Settings”-> “Applications” ->”Development”. Note:
Some times, the USB cable may be the problem.
If you have used a charge-only micro-USB,
it will cause problem with data/detection of devices.
So make sure you use a good micro-USB cable for connecting.

Step 2: Download the MT6589 Rooting Package

This is the MT6589 rooting package based on the motochopper exploit.
You can
FileShare Download mt6589_rooter.zip
Unzip all the contents of the zip file in a folder
(please do not launch from the zip folder,
ensure it is fully extracted to a physical folder on your PC).
Before you proceed further, ensure that you have
enabled USB Debugging mode on your device.
Just go to “Developer mode“,
so just go to the “Settings” –> “Developer Options” –> “USB Debugging” and ensure it is checked/ticked.

Ensure that you have the contents of
the zip file extracted into a physical folder on your PC
(i.e. not in the ZIP explorer mode)

Step 3: Perform the Rooting

If you notice in the folder you have just extracted,
there is a run.bat file. This is the batch file
that would be used to run the exploit and do the rooting.
Next, go to CMD by typing “cmd”
in the run dialog on your start button (assuming Windows 7).
Right click on the cmd.exe icon and select “Run as Administrator”.

Using the CMD.exe
command line, change the directory
to the folder which you have unzipped
the contents of the rooter package. For example,
in this case, it was unzipped to
C:UsersDeskPCDesktopmt6589_rooter as seen in the screen capture:

Run the run.bat batch file by
typing “run”. You should see the following,
where it will wait for the device and run the daemon on port 5037.

Once you plug in the phone
(or you might already have plugged in,
in this case, the program will go ahead to push the exploit and install the superuser.apk into your phone.
The screenshot shows that the superuser.
apk had been pushed and rooting being performed.
Once the installation is complete,
you will be prompted to press enter
and reboot the phone. The program will then exit.

Step 4: Complete!

There you have it, a quick and simple
way to root your MT6589 device.
Do let me know if your MT6589
rooting was successful but commenting below,
so I can add the success story for others to consider their own rooting endeavors. Once you have rooted your device,
you will find a SuperSu application in your android,
which enables you to control SuperUser
access/root access to the android device
