Hi again Smile poor outcome Smile

I have installed vcom driver x64 win 7 I'm on Windows 10 did everything as in the tutorial disabled driver signature, everything went well,
I have tried to install several vcom drivers for xp too
Debugging on the phone is enabled and so is oem unlock
Tried miraclebox loader but it doesn't see my phone, on the left side it says connected but it don't show device details as in the tutorial plus start button is greyed out.
Probably some issue with the driver? Tried them all but no go
Maybe those vcom drivers aren't right ones?

Any advice? Smile

Uninstall vcom driver using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-7660.html
Then properly install vcom again using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-440.html

Fix miracle inactive start button @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14815.html

Hi,
There's some progress Smile

The Chipset is called Mt 6580
I have managed to make miracle box work Smile
Installed driver again.
Had problem connecting over USB trouble with power button, tried several times at first phone was disconnecting but in the end managed to make full backup I mean I marked Scatter box and marked all things and backed up everything about 3gb


If I have full backup it means if I mess up something I will be able to use my backup to restore everything right?

So whats next? Smile

You don't have to flash it using fastboot.
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.bin then flash it back using Miracle Box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14106.html

Tried to use miraclebox to root. Just clicked root option and it went OK, miraclebox said device is rooted but then when I booted up it wasn't rooted.

That's why i have used fastboot to root my phone Smile

Good you've been able to root via fastboot but nowhere in our instructions did we ask you to use Miracle Box's root function. You could have bricked your phone
