(07-01-2017, 11:22 PM)smooth No that was not the problem," its now working tho but in a different port. The problem now is that I'm still unable to root it after I backed up the preloader and moved it in to the same folder as the scatter and recovery. When I try flashing it with after selecting the android-scatter it only tick recovery without preloader even in the option. And I did proceed without it but I got an error message. What should I do?

that means you're loading the scatter file from the wrong folder
