The Lava Iris 504Q is a device available in India and for the price it asks, the device has some pretty nice features – 1.2GHz quad-core CPU with a gig of RAM, a 5-inch IPS touchscreen display and an 8MP camera. The device currently runs Android 4.2 and with no news from the company about a 4.3 update, flashing a custom ROM is the way to go if you want a taste of the latest Google has to offer. Before this though, you will need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed; the post below will help you get the first part of that out of the way – rooting the Lava Iris 504Q.
I. Before You Begin
1. Back up anything you feel is important.
2. Charge your device to 75% or more before you begin.
II. Necessary Downloads
III. Rooting the Lava Iris 504Q
1. Enable USB Debugging on your device. To do this, go to Settings > Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging checkbox.
2. Connect your device to your PC using a compatible microUSB cable.
3. Extract mt6589_rooting_pkg.zip to a folder on your desktop.
4. Open a terminal and enter the following commands
5. Use $ cd /path/to/extracted/folder
6. Now you are in mt6589_rooter directory, use $ sudo chmod +x run.sh to change the permissions of run.sh file
7. Finally use $ sudo ./run.sh command to start the rooting process
8. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Your Lava Iris 504Q should now be completely rooted! Use an app like Root Checker Lite from the Play Store to verify if at all you need to.
This procedure is tested on my friends new phone and it is 100% working
