Root QMobile Noir A2 and Install CWM Recovery 6.0.2.7 version

Posted on October 19, 2013 Updated on January 11, 2014

QMobile Noir A2 was first rooted by an XDA forum member named as “Nagdrx”, although he is so humble about this procedure that he is not the creator of this method and just connected some pieces to get a working method. This statement gave a room to some cheaters to claim the ownership of this method. But the fact is fact. He is still the first person who practically rooted QMobile Noir A2 (MT 6575 version 2 ). I personally very thankful to “Nagdrx” for his post. You can read his great post from this page.

Anyway, I followed his procedure and made this simplest tutorial for beginners who can’t understand it without screenshots. First of all, download this compressed file to your PC. Uncompress above rar file to desktop like this:

You will see “Noir A2 ROOT” folder having these contents:

1. SP_Flash_Tool (Folder)
2. CWM-Recovery-6.0.2.7.img (file)
3. MT6573_Android_scatter.txt (file)
4. SuperSU-v1.65.zip (file)

Copy compressed file “SuperSU-v1.65.zip” to SD Card of your mobile. Now install USB driver from this rar file before proceeding to the next step. It is assumed that USB debugging mode is enabled on your mobile. You can get it by going to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging (check: ON). Select Allow USB debugging : OK.

Disconnect your mobile from PC and follow these steps:

Open folder “SP_Flash_Tool” :

Execute “Flash_Tool.exe” file to see screen below :

Click on “Scatter-loading” radio button and select “MT6573_Android_scatter.txt” file :

Click “OK” to ignore this message :

This will load the scatter file. Now click on “Recovery” option to open “CWM-Recovery-6.0.2.7.img” file :

You can see complete file path of Recovery image file when you open it :

Switch off your QMobile Noir A2 mobile and remove battery for few seconds. Then again put battery into mobile but keep it in switch-off state. Click to “Download” radio button which will start the 14 seconds count down :

Immediately connect your mobile to PC via USB cable to start the download process :

After the completion of download, you will see “Rom Download Result” dialog message followed by green circle dialog screen like below :

Now CWM Recovery has been installed. Close the “SP_Flash_Tool” software. Automatically you will see “Found New Hardware Wizard” dialog screens. Just click “Next” button and follow the steps :

Now disconnect your mobile from PC. Press “Power” button, Volume UP and Volume Down keys simultaneously for 3 seconds till you see two options:

Recovery Mode: Volume Up
Factory Mode: Volume Down

Just press “Volume Up” side key to boot into Recovery Mode. You will see this screen:

Select “install zip from sdcard” by pressing “Power” button :

Select “choose zip from sdcard” by pressing “Power” button :

Select “SuperSU-v1.65.zip” file and press “Power” button :

This will install SuperSU application into your mobile :

Now you have “Rooted QMobile Noir A2” with CWM Recovery installed. Select “reboot system now” to go into system mode. Below are the screenshots after the root process:

WARNING: After this root process, you must make backup of currently installed ROM before uninstalling any application. So that you can easily go back to its original state. You can do it (under CWM recovery) by going to backup and restore > backup.

All the screenshots of system and recovery modes are taken by using my newly developed software “AndScreen v 1.1.0”, developed in Visual Basic 6 language. I will upload this new 1.1.0 version  on 21st October, 2013. Below is the screenshot of this upcoming version 1.1.0:
