You can find it easily online. No doubt, someone on this forum somewhere has posted it! There's one version in Chinese and one in Indonesian, I think. Still, it's easy. Install and start the app. When you come to the first moment when you are given an option of buttons to press, choose the one that has the word "Root" (in English) on it. It will do stuff and give you button choices again. Again, choose the button with "Root" on it. It does more stuff and then proclaims Root! (among the Chinese words) if all goes well. Then click the right button and exit the app. You have root.
I have it, and tried it, but it failed as did all the other root methods I know of (Root Master, Kingoroot, Towelroot, and so on). I think the system folder I extracted out of the Onyx C67ML Carta 1.7.2 update.zip is missing the files that are necessary to root, so that I can build a working image out of it but not a rootable one. I really need root, so we are back to the starting point...
