2. Download, extracts and launch MTK droid tools from the link above and be sure to run the application as administrator.

3. Your phone information should populate the MTK Droid tools once the phone is detected. Look in the bottom left of MTK droid tools for a color indicator: Green means the phone is detected and rooted and ready for the next step, white indicates the phone is not detected at all, yellow means the phones rooted but it’s not communicating effectively with the device and finally BLU means it’s detected but not rooted.

4.

A notification may appear that says: Packing backup? simply click no. The complete notification will appear in the right window when everything is finished.

5. The backup files are placed in the MTK droid tools folder in a folder called backups and there should be a file that will be your phones ROM backed up or your device backedup.

You have just made a phase 2 backup and the file is placed in a folder in the same place as the first backup but within the folder of the first backup above.
