I Just recieved my Cisco Cius Tablet, Comes with this info in the about section
Model number: Cius
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.31.6-mrst
[email protected]#1
Build number: FRG83G.9.2.1SR1.19SEC
I would really like to root it, I haven't found anything on how to go about it and there is no section here. I have Adb installed and connecting to the device but I'm getting permission denied on just about everything. Is there a way to get root on this, Has anyone started developing on the platform? I would be happy to put in some work to get it going, at least rooted if not make a rom, but I have no idea how to get root on it.
I talked to one of the guys at cisco support about an unrelated issue but during the conversation I found out that it has an intel processor rather then an arm processor. I figure that that has alot to do with why I have been unable to get any of the android 2.2.2 root kits to work with the rageagainstthecagearm5.bin files that everyone is using on phones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If other people are interested maybe even get a development section up for the device.
Thanks

Moving to Q&A
now that cisco has abandon the cius all together i wonder if we can get it rooted...
Cius will no longer be available to be sold after march 22nd this year but HW support won't end til march 22nd 2016...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/col...90/ps11156/end_of_life_notice_c51-717226.html
looking at a forum thread at cisco.com they'll take the stance of "security" and the fact it's still being "supported", whatever that really means, when asked, kernel source or rooting... too bad wonder if anyone can bribe a cisco dev to give us the details on how to root...yeah right.
https://developer.cisco.com/web/ciu...sage_boards/message/6452457?p_p_auth=40l4IazY
For the time being, considering how much a single one of these tablet costs, doubt many devs have one, or access to one.
My company has about 3-4 of these (with the HD media, aka phone,docks), we got them for free since we made a major purchase to upgrade our old nortel phone system to them, so i'm glad we didn't have to plunk down any cash for them afterall.
I have 1 of them and am playing with it but I'm not a dev so I wouldn't even know where to begin on rooting it.....
hi mate,
any luck with rooting? 2.2.2 can't do anything much for now....
i've got a unit too... don't know anyone currently working on this product inside cisco sys... they moved on to another android desk phone (non tablet).

One month later, and here's your reply. LOL
I think you bricked your Tab and was later caught in a boot loop? I was lucky today when I managed to recover from a boot loop myself, on my phone - but that's mainly because there are a bunch of intelligent and dedicated people out there with the same device as mine that have both the knowledge and the means of creating important stuffs like STOCK ROM for my device.
Which I think is the only key for you to recover from the boot loop, but I'm not really sure myself...
Also part of the reason there's no one replying to this is because there are no intelligent and dedicated people with the same device as yours. Which sucks, but also, probably true.

is a very nice android box but...
or maybe you have the DVB application of the KI PRO, for example?
Try DVB Stack, available on the play store
---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
I order one of this box.... i already download the atv firmware for the mecool mkii to try.... but i think with the atvxperience firmware and the DVB Stack app i will have acces to the tuner.... I'm gonna test and give you feedback (sorry for mybad english)
Any success
Did you managed to flash the firmware?

Hello
I bought a couple of these boxes and for the price they cost they work very well.
I think we need to improve the software that manages the TV tuner a bit and I'm trying to find an APK that can do it better than the software installed.
I used Enigma 2 (Linux) for a long time and it had a fantastic interface.
I skip a few pages on internet sites I discovered that an owner has installed Libreelec but it is not a simple procedure and the internal TV tuner does not work; as a solution he connected a USB Dongle TV behind.
Do you have any advice for me ?
I don't recommend this device at all!
Ignorant and bullying support team which delete everything don't like and it's against their devices in the forum and lot of bugs:
1) GTPlayer crash all the time. You have to disable it
2) Remote controls is horrible, you need to target the device, otherwise doesn't work
3) You need to blind search all the time for channels otherwise will find only few of them.
4) you cannot search for individual channels, there is no option. You have to search for all and you will always lose custom channels list
5) you either can export and import a channel list because you will lose EPG
6) EPG works only when it want
7) When EPG works, you have to switch to the channel you want to see EPG in order to have it loaded. You cannot stay on a music channel, for example, and explore EPG of other channels.
8) EPG language is wrong if channel have multilanguage EPG. Device reads the first language only.
9) If you use PVR recorder, the program will record with the first audio track (wrong language if channel have multiple tracks) and without subtitles, ignoring your preferences.
You better get a MECOOL K2 or K3 than buying this junk, honestly.

Factory and Stock Firmwares (Reason If Need)
Have you installed firmware 6.2 on a device that comes with firmware version 6.3 without problems? I have a problem that the device will not start.
I think I can only solve it with the installation via firmware file in .img format but I have GTC with serial GC and I only get the .img file for the previous version. (6.2). You think I won't have problems. I saw that you in the mega link wrote tested in serial GC!
thanks

demlasjr, hope you do not go back to GT media-Freesat asking for help.
@cpr43 Haha, sure....it's useless however. I'm not a masochist to keep begging ignorant people, if i'm not wrong you are one of them. All I wanted was help and had enough patience. I wait months for a bug fix and nobody even bother to fix them. I paid for a working device. Where is the support? I kept reporting bugs and asking for fixes and the day I asked why are we ignored I got banned.
Update since September: still nothing works, I have 2 weeks without EPG, I don't want to reset device because I'll lose channels list modifications and if I will export and import it, EPG will not work.
Here are also some complains about it (over a year old!!! Nobody gives a $#&@ about it:
https://www.forokeys.com/foro/gt/os-funciona-el-epg-en-el-gtc-android-4k/
https://www.forokeys.com/foro/gt/free-sat-gtc-android-canales-sin-informacion/
The only one fixed it's GTPlayer, because the team behind that app fixed it.
BTW...testing Mecool K7, way more powerful and lot of support and custom firmware guys!
@demlasjr
@demlasjr. Hope you happy with your new toys. Just found out you like to talk on people/ forums behind back and that's not fear. I hope they welcome you here knowing that. As for our forum no way we can accept you back. Wishing you the best. Sayonara
Do you think this software can work ?
ProgTV Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.progdvb.progtva
I did not understand correctly but it seems to me that it is derived from the ProgDVB software that I have often used on the PC with Windows 10 and the Technisat 2 card + DVB-T USB stick.
If so, it would work much better than the DVB software installed on the decoder.

You are plagiarizing everything I think about this device crap.
and you are very right about the moderators. especially cpr43. is the champion of idiots in the forum where only 98% problems and 2% solutions are found.
in my case, one of my GTCs root it. I did it because I like to play with the devices I buy. Supposedly an update arrived that left the device like a damn paperweight. and they blame me. !!

And if the user demands attention, you go out and say they are busy with other things ... scratching their balls, that's what they do ...
I hope someday to find you and give you the kick you deserve.
