I just got THL W11 Monkey King and I am setting it up as an Instagram camera.

This is a Version A phone, 1 GB RAM, 16GB ROM

I want to get more out of this device, which is why I want to get it rooted.

It runs on the MT6589 CPU, on Android 4.2.1.

Baseband:MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P8, 2013/06/14 13:59

Build:ThL_W11.130814.JB42.V12.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_6589T.OV12830

I've tried mt6589_rooter, which fails to pwn, and THL_W11(1G+16G)_JB42_root_20130822, which fails to install from the developer bootloader menu. I've decided I could use a little hand.

Any volunteers?

(List of websites with info to this device is suppressed because I am an utter n00b.)

I finally got into Baidu for the "1+16 ThL_W11.13.07.22.JB42.LeWa.V12.zip" package. Ill see what I need to do to get it installed.
