Yes the cwm is an optional byproduct, and you get to make one specifically fitted to your phone

Yes, I'd like to see that too. When I connect the (turned off) phone in SP Flash Tool, it just charges, nothing else happens.

I just succeeded rooting my device. For anyone else who gets into charging mode only after rebooting: it's very important to install the MT65xx Preloader drivers. You can find these in MTK_USB_ADB_Ultimate.rar.
Install them by removing the iNew V3 Plus battery, insert the USB cable. Then go into Windows Device Manager. There's a device with 'Preloader' in it, with a yellow triangle in front of it. Right click on it, look for the driver in MT65xx Preloader.
Now try this procedure again. It should work.
Big thanks to everyone who has been working on this.

This also did not work for me! Flashing seems to have worked (green OK logo),but the phone reboots when I select recovery...
I've afterwards rooted the phone with iRoot and replaced the iRoot superuser app with SuperSU app.

Hi guys, there's a new ROM available, called CXQ_V3A_INEW_V09. You can upgrade by running the OTA update from CXQ_V3A_INEW_V07 (not from V08).
This rom seems to be a bit faster than V07 and V08.
The root method in this thread (writing a custom recovery) doesn't work anymore, though. You can still root by iRoot but then you won't have the CWM recovery.
