I insist I won't pay cool2012 a kobo.
All rooting system known to me hasn't worked.
But I have set up a committee, I can assure you we are on top of it. This phone is too awesome not to root.

Unless cool2012 repent... I disown him for now. I can always show my appreciation...

We can do this, yes we can.

sfi_ea: After much reading & discuss with great minds like Hollaslyd, you're very right @SeunPayne, the ro_security is locked, I will be back tomorrow and do hope Hollaslyd would have done the magic, if not, we're both on this. This baby is too awesome not to root.

For those version 1.0.14 isn't working, please use this version.
1.3.3

kingzoul: @sfi_ea
Here's the link for Eroot v1.3.3

or the complete package here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/3jolon9l8bj1u5o/Tecno%20F7%20Root%20Tools.rar)

Happy Rooting

This worked like a charm! (For those with restore issues)

Confirmed you had your version, it was coincidental we three ( my humble self, Hollaslyd & u) were working on the same project same minute & hour of the night. Cheers.

HOLLASLYD: to root this mt6577 thats got its bootloaders locked, you can either do that through a oneclick package or extract the boot.img and modify to remove security.
now here is what goes easy for you all.
1= must have a pc
2= must have a working internet connectivity
3= must have adb installed
4= must enable usb debugging

Pls this thread should be dedicated to the subject matter only, thank you.

I noticed my laptop detects 4 Google android devices, two ok (I.e. no issue/error icon attached) while the other two are with issues. I am not with my laptop as I write, I have downloaded the three drivers from this site

Google USB Driver
MTK OEM Drivers for F7 (I belief this OEM driver is the needed driver, still searching for this file, maybe calcare guys can help.)
MT6577 USB VCOM Drivers :

http://semayi..com/2013/03/mxnec-m307-mt6577-rooting-and-back-up.html?m=1

Will try & update the other two with each downloaded drivers, to see which one works. My belief is that d drivers are not complete or some files installed by moborobo or pda* are not for F7. If you noticed, moborobo shows a preview of F7 life view but can't display device, will ask you to refresh till infinity or contact...

Will b back this weekend and hopeful this will work even with Root with Restore by Bin4ry v17 to v30, they will work

I will be patiently waiting 4 the final solution because dis F7 will make mad sense when rooted

Hmmm Ŧђɑ̤̈пks guys for u̶̲̥̅̊я̅ hard work, hand crossed for me performing my stunts on F7 after ℓ̊ don root Ȋ̝̊̅†̥...lol

;DDie wif your knowledge, i rooted every Tecno Android that comes my way, i will surely root F7 with ease, insha Allah...........! Go and dwnload Super Backup, its the best and simple than Titanum and it's equal

It's obvious you're so desperate to earn chicken change. I also noticed you're desperately looking for money to buy one , no problems I can dash you my self rooted N7 or hacked N8. You can also wait in line, when a better phone comes out I will give my *pads*

Someone PMed me, please resend. Thanks.

Why can't We just behave like adults? You have the option to wait till It's everywhere which We all know it will soon be or pay to have the info now. I can tell you that rooting the f7 is more complicated than We are used to because the nand is locked. cube no beef because I understand you. I don't support you but I understand. now please the rest of use should be patient. And stop beefing. It's not by force.

After much reading & discuss with great minds like Hollaslyd, you're very right @SeunPayne, the ro_security is locked, I will be back tomorrow and do hope Hollaslyd would have done the magic, if not, we're both in this. This baby is too awesome not to root.
