How can I root my Xolo Q1010i?

Question

I have tried kingoroot, Towel Root, Framaroot as well as WMShua to root Xolo Q1010i but at last stage the message "Sorry Root Failed" appears.

Kernel version : 3.4.67

Please provide me with other ways.

It appears that the mentioned Root apps are unable to find a working exploit as I noted bellow, I think you will have more luck with rooting your device if you flashed a different ROM on it. (pre-rooted if possible). — Jordy19, Feb 05 '15 at 18:39
Nup it didn't work..whenever I try to flash with different ROM,in fastboot mode it says that your phone didn't support flash..now what to do.. — Gulam Mohammed, Feb 05 '15 at 18:46
@GulamMohammed As you succeeded, may I ask you to answer your own question? There's another user in need who would profit from it. Thanks a lot in advance! — Izzy, May 23 '15 at 14:24

After Successful attempt, here's the complete step-by-step procedure of rooting Xolo Q1010i.

Root Xolo Q1010i Using Kingroot Android App

Download and install KingMaster, Kingroot and Kinguser android application from official website. The website is in Chinese language, but you can easily download using blue download buttons.
Open Kingroot android app and click on green round button. Your device may restart.
Now open KingMaster application from app drawer, you will get a pull down window! Click on root now button. You can also watch video for the same.
After few minutes KingMaster will root your Xolo Q1010i without KitKat update.

Root Xolo Q1010i By Flashing Pre- Rooted Android 4.4.2 KitKat Stock ROM

Framaroot will not work on our Xolo Q1010i after KitKat update. If you have stock Jelly Bean then you should use Framaroot method.
If not then, First we need to flash custom recovery on our Xolo Q1010i in-order to flash Pre-Rooted stock ROM.

Downloads:

Rooting Instructions

Download and extract all files. Place all Downloaded Files in the same place for easy access. I recommend you to turn off your antivirus to avoid permission related issues.

Step 1

Install The MTK USB Drivers on Your PC by Clicking on Install.bat in Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00 folder.
Open SP Flash Tools folder and click on flash_tool.exe. In The Flash Tool window Click on Scatter-Loading, Select MT6582_Android_scatter_emmc.txt and Press Open.

Step 2

In Flash Tool Window Tick RECOVERY and Click on the Blank Green Space Beside It and select recovery.img.

Step 3

Switch Off Your Device and Connect it to your PC. Now press on green download button at the top.
The status bar at the bottom will Change it’s Color Red Then Yellow and Finally show a Download OK Dialog Box.
Now disconnect your phone and close SP Flash tool.
Press and Hold Volume UP and Power Button Together till it powers UP.
Now your phone boots into Recovery Mode, In it Press Install Zip -> Choose Zip SDCard -> Select the SuperSu.zip You Placed Earlier in Your SDCard and Press YES to Install.
On Complete Installation, Reboot Your Device, CONGRATULATIONS ! You’ve Successfully Flashed carliv recovery on your device!

So now we need to flash Pre- Rooted Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM into our Xolo Q1010i smartphone.

Download Pre-Rooted Flashable Zip of Stock Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM.
Place SuperSu Zip (downloaded in first step) and Pre- Rooted KitKat in your SD Card.
Goto Recovery Mode, Go To Install -> Install from SD -> Select the ROM File and press YES to Flash it and Do the Same for the SuperSu Zip after Flashing completes.
Reboot, now you successfully flashed Pre- Rooted Android 4.4.2 KitKat Stock ROM on your Xolo Q1010i.

In other words, now you have successfully rooted your Xolo Q1010i with Android 4.4.2 KitKat update.

Thanks a lot, Gulam – also in the name of the "other user in need", who lacks the rep to comment here. Quoting him: Before I could read your reply, I rooted my phone through iroot. It got stuck in the first attempt. In the second attempt it rooted but did not install any superuser. I downloaded supersu and installed it. Also checked thru rootchecker. Its working fine. Thanks for all the help. Guess that means I should also upvote for him :) — Izzy, May 25 '15 at 20:10
