Root Lava Iris 405+ Android 4.4.2 Kitkat and install CWM Recovery
Here I'm going to teach how to root Lava Iris 405+ running kitkat. As we know, after upgrading to kitkat, we can't root it by using framaroot or vroot or any other methods. This method works well but you need patience.
Requirements:
-Lava Iris 405+ with Android 4.4.2 kitkat-USB cable
-PC or laptop
1. MTK Droid Tools
2. Smart Phone Flash Tool
3. recovery.img
4. MT6572_Android_Scatter
5. Lava Iris USB Drivers
6. RootIris405plus.zip
-First of all install the drivers properly.
-Open SP Flash tool, click on scatter loading and select the MT6572_Android_Scatter.txt
-Tick only RECOVERY and double click on it. Select the recovery.img file.
-Click on Download.
-Switch off your phone and while holding volume down key connect phone with USB cable.
-Go to the tab "root, backup, recovery" and click on "SuperUser" and wait for it to finish.
-After it is finished, disconnect usb and in CWM recovery, choose install zip from sdcard and select the RootIris405plus.zip from sdcard
-Reboot your phone and your phone is rooted. Install busybox pro and update supersu app.
-Using root explorer or X-plore or ES File Explorer, providing root permission to them, go to root/system and delete the file recovery-from-boot.p to prevent CWM recovery from being deleted.
Before doing something critical, remember to create backup with CWM.
All the best
Enjoy.

Hey, Use "SP Flash Tool v3.1344.0.212" to install "MT6572_Android_scatter.txt" and "recovery.img" onto your phone first, Before use SP flash tool without battery. then use :MtkDroidTools v2.5.3" and follow this blogs instructions.

i tried it again but still not working.
Deletei entered recovery mode, and MTKDROIDTOOL doesn't detect my phone while in recovery mode. There are some option in recovery mode and i'm bit confused with them, its like 'update from ADB/sd/cache' and other options. help me out with this i'm really struggling with this version to root with.
Sp flash tool is showing ptm changed for the rom. Can u please provide that?
