Rooting Script :
If any of the above rooting methods and tools do not work which is highly unlikely, please make sure your bootloader is unlocked and try the above methods again. If your bootloader is unlocked and you are still not able to root then use this manual method. I have been able to root unrootable MT6595 using this process.
Note : Even though the process is not for Mediatek devices it has proved to work on MT65XX and should work on MT67xx also.

Manual Rooting :
This is the last and final option, if none of the tools work this is your only hope. Chances of success are low but not so low, it depends on your device if it is able to provide temporary access to the files you will be using to root. I have tried this method and it only worked for me in MT6582 but it wouldn't hurt to try.
