I bought the phone a month back and spent 3 weeks trying to root this MTK6575 Chipset.
You can only root this phone through test point from PMT method. Google test point and pmt for more information.
Attached a pic showing a test point cable . people having knowledge of modding 360 will know what a pmt is. its pogo mo thoin. but for phone its bit different.
its better to go into stock recovery and wipe data reset and wipe cache. take your sim cards out and your memory card. you dont need them.
