The a618 TV duo... sexy, gingerbread, smooth, dual sim, malakas ang speaker, at may TV pa!
Pero with its low internal memory(139MB lang) and a 180mb ram your options are limited in terms of applications and perks...
This guide will guide you to rooting and optimize your phone to maximize its potential to the user.
Some procedures requires tampering/editing your phone which can brick your phone.
Proceed at your own risk!
ROOTING YOUR A618 TV DUO
In order to optimize your phone, kelangan natin ng root access sa system. By default, restricted ang root access sa phone pero pede nating mabago yan by rooting it.
My tatlong paraan para mai-root ang phone natin.
Root Via Unlockroot
Download unlockroot from their website:

extract the recovery image and put the scattertxt file on the same folder.
open Flash Tool

make sure only RECOVERY is checked!
ignore this message if it pops up

after checking that the correct scattertxt is placed and only recovery is checked, turn off your a618 and remove the battery. Replace the battery after 20 seconds but DONT turn it on yet.
Click Download and immediately connect your phone to the pc via the usb cable.
If you did it correctly may mag loload sa baba tapos lalabas ung notification na successful ung download.
Check your phone if successful ung flashing. While naka off ang phone press mo ng sabay Volume up at ang power key. May lalabas na choices. Press volume up to go to recovery.
You would see that the recovery mode is different from the usual recovery.
tapos nyan, gagawa ka ng backup:
1) Enter Recovery
2)Select backup and restore > backup
3) copy backup files to safe storage (PC, external HD)
now to properly root the phone:
Copy the zip file (ROOTA818) to your sd card (yeah pang a818 yan pero gagana din yan sa a618)
Enter Recovery
Select install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > browse the zip file
wait for update to complete then Select Reboot system now.
After boot check mu ung apps mu kung may superuser, pag meron rooted ka na!
