Guide to unlock bootloader at the end in case the booloader is locked
Note : 95% of MT65XX devices have unlocked bootloader so you do not need to worry.

Kingroot :
Kingroot is the most preferred rooting tool and is updated frequently with new patches to root newer android versions. Highly suggested to use this tool, it is able to root any Mediatek device including Android Lollipop. It is available for both Android ad Windows, it is suggested to use PC in order to root your device

360 Root :
This is another great tool but it is in Chinese language but the steps are self explanatory and this tool is only for Mobile devices, the PC version does not work on devices with locale other than China but it has proved to work on many devices.

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.

Rooting via Recovery :
This method will only work if have a Custom Recovery for your device which you can flash using SP Flash Tool. Once you have a custom recovery, boot into recovery mode and flash the ZIP 
Download ZIP : Click Here
Note : If you do not have scatter file of your device you can also flash recovery.img using the following method :
- Download recovery.img for your device
- Download the above ZIP
- Rename the recovery you downloaded to "recovery.img"
- Now open Command Prompt in the same folder as recovery.img
- Type "adb reboot bootloader"
- Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
- Type "fastboot reboot"
- Device will reboot
- Type "adb reboot recovery"
- Flash the above ZIP using recovery

To Unlock Bootloader :
Note : 95% of MT65XX devices have unlocked bootloader so you do not need to worry. MT6580 and some MT67XX devices require that you unlock the bootloader first otherwise your device cannot be rooted.

I) 
- Some MT6580 devices have a option to unlock bootloader, go to Settings > Developer options or in Settings > About Phone and turn OFF "OEM Lock"

Note : If there is no such options follow below methods :
II)
- To unlock bootloader you require a tool either made by your manufacturer or by someone

III)
- You need the unlock code, which you can get by contacting the manufacturer, some manufacturers don't provide the code so you are out of luck
a) Once you get the code you can unlock your device using the follow ADB commands :
b) Type "adb reboot bootloader"
c) After it reboots
d) Type "fastboot oem unlock ****************" (replace * with 16 digit unlock code)
e) Let the process complete
- Check if bootloader is unlocked using the below commands
a) Type "fastboot oem get-bootinfo"
b) If it says your bootloader is unlocked you can proceed

IV)
- In some devices bootloader can be easily be unlocked using the following method :
