Hi first post on this good site.
My brother in law has the above phone and on setting up prior to setting up a google account set his privacy pin and then forgot it. Due to USB debugging not being set I had to resort to flashing with a stock rom to clear the pin. This was successful but unfortunately it cleared the IMEI sim codes. I've downloaded mobileuncle to re-instate but the phone needs to be rooted. So I've downloaded the latest vroot which appeared to work (Reported as successful) unfortunately when I go back to mobileuncle it still says it needs rooting. I've tried various methods to try and root but they have all been unsuccessful. After trawling the internet the MTK6592 does seem to be problematic to root.
Any advice would be great and much appreciated to turn this brick that has never been used
into what looks like a good phone. 
cheers
John
