Unleash the Real Power of your Spice mi-530 Pinnacle


This tutorial will guide you through the process of rooting your Spice mi530 along with a few tweaks to boost its performance, or enhance the battery life (either way you like).


Step 1.

Install drivers of your phone on pc (so that your pc recognizes your device ).This can be done with the help of PdaNet (here).
First of all go to your phone settings>developer options> Here enable USB debugging by checking the box.
Now install PdaNet on your pc (no need to connect your phone now).
In the final step (of software installation), you would be asked to connect your phone, connect it then using the USB cable.
All the software will now be installed on your pc, and PdaNet will be installed on your device as well.

Step 2.

After the device has successfully connected to your pc with drivers installed, run the batch file (here).
Read the onscreen instructions, and select "root and restore". Don't worry it will not restore anything on your device. Select "restore" option from your device screen as well.

 Now rest of the job will be done by the script itself, and the device will restart (after you select any key to continue the process).

The Device is now rooted (check SuperSU app on your phone).
 

A few tweaks to increase Device Performance (Download and install them). I found them very useful to me

  •   Seeder (here). Enable it by granting root access when prompt. This increases the available entropy (randomness on your phone) which in turn speeds up your device.
  •   SetCPU (here) to adjust the cpu according to your usage and choose between performance, high battery life, or balanced.
  •   Chainfire 3D (here). This tweaks your device's graphics performance in games. Increase the rate or texture and make more games work which previously were not or less compatible.
  •   lgcamera pro (here). Though the quality of the image taken is not good as other camera apps do as this may be taken better as a camcorder app. You can adjust video quality to the max and shot FullHD videos in mp4 format (yeah finally get rid of default 3gp format) in 30fps with AAC audio format. Loads of more video adjustments also available.

Rooting is a risky process, though i promise 99.9% success if every step is followed as mentioned.
I have personally tested the process on my device and is working better now.
Do not blame me if something unusually goes wrong, though revert in case of any Query.
Apps above are cracked versions from various places, i, in no manner, support them, install from market rather.
I AM HERE TO HELP YOU...

    Hi ankit.
    Will this root process work after we have upgraded to jelly bean? Also can you suggest the best way to reverse tether this piece[using pc internet on phone or using reliance dataconnect+].
    can't get these two to work.

    Cheers

    Sorry for late reply.
    No this root method will not work after jelly bean upgrade.
    You can share your wifi enables pc internet to the phone, just download software to turn your your pc/laptop to a wifi hotspot (the same is inbuilt in android phones), and connect your phone to that network.
    And data connect will not work on this device, as it do support host mode but for your purpose you have to tweak into the data card, and enable its modem only mode by unlocking it (google for its tutorial), as in normal mode it requires softwares which are not made for android platform.
    Thank you

    Thanks for the info ankit. But how to do it across usb instead of enabling a wifi hotspot. My old htc had a default option & my pc doesn't have a wireless card.

    On a side note,,

    Managed to root after jelly bean upgrade..

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40658640&postcount=136

    Followed that procedure & it works perfectly. What's the best way to remove the built in apps though. I can disable them now but how to completely uninstall them?

      Yes dear, you can get your set updated at any of spice service center, it will take hardly 10-15 minutes, you don't even need to leave it with them for days or weeks.
      Or you can ask for backup of jb rom from the rooted jb pinnacle users at the above mentioned link by shankar. I could helped you with the same but i gave my device to my gf.

      Revert in case of any more help.
      Thank you

      Hey, you might have not installed drivers properly,remove all previous drivers from device manager for your device,now install pdanet on your pc and connect your phone to pc,now do as directed. This will install required drivers. Once drivers are installed, the process will proceed.
      if the problem continues,try using a different pc, as that worked for me.
      Thank you
