Requirements:

• A Starmobile PLAY Club smartphone, running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat
• A desktop or laptop at least running Windows 2000 Professional and above
• SP Flash Tool
• MT65XX Preloader Drivers
• Starmobile PLAY Club scatter file for SP Flash Tool (download the latest one, if possible)
• PhilZ Touch Recovery (CWM-based recovery image) for Starmobile PLAY Club (ported by me).
• SuperSU install-able ZIP package (for CWM / TWRP)

WARNING:
Before proceeding, please make sure you have made a stock ROM backup just in-case something goes wrong. I do not, and wouldn't take responsibilities for what might happen afterwards. Do it at your own risk.

Advanced Users Instructions

Instructions

7. Turn off your phone, then remove the battery. Afterwards, plug the USB cable to the computer.
8. Wait for the flashing process to be completed, then boot to Recovery (press Volume UP + Power button simultaneously while the device is off).
9. On recovery, select Install ZIP, then Choose zip from /sdcard or /storage/sdcard1, then locate the SuperSU installable-ZIP package. Use the physical keys. I can't get touch to work properly because of the flipped screen.
10. Congratulations, your Starmobile PLAY Club is now rooted and has CWM-based recovery installed on it.

FAQs
Q: Why don't you just use one-click rooting apps like Framaroot, vRoot, iRoot, KingoRoot, Root Genius and etc?
A: All of them doesn't work. Also, I don't trust vRoot, iRoot, KingoRoot and Root Genius. Not one bit, even if it works. Adware reasons. The only thing I've trusted are Framaroot and towelroot.

Q: Touch doesn't work properly on PhilZ Touch Recovery?
A: I can't get it to work properly. You can use the physical keys and disable it on the Recovery settings.

Sorry sa late reply haha. Anong step number ba hindi mo naiintindihan?

 

[eriezelagera]

Ayos! Gumana sakin. Salamat!

May tanong pala ako, nakakaranas ba kayo ng memory leak sa Starmobile PLAY Club nyo? Nag-install kasi ako ng logcat para makita yung cause kung bakit medyo mabagal at mabilis maubos ang battery. Yung garbage collect (dalvikvm) paulit-ulit nag-eexecute. Na-experience nyo na ba ito?
