I've got a cheap Chinese tablet (WM8850-MID) running Android 4.0.3 based on WonderMedia 8850 processor.
It's not rooted.
Here's what i found:
/system/xbin/su is present:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 0 0 68528 May 14 11:07 su
But I can't run su in a terminal:
su uid 10064 not allowed to su
Using adb.exe I have the same problem with uid 2000.
There is a script /system/etc/init.sh which is called a boot time, but If I modify and push it via adb it won't execute (lost execute permission)
adb reboot-bootloader does reboot the device, but it does not stay in bootloader mode and just go straight to Android.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a way to root that device ?
Try ./adb root to run as root.
Use oneclickroot.

I forgot to mention "adb root" says I'm already root.
If I copy files with adb push, the owner is root, but If I use "adb shell" I'm user uid 2000.
This is a new tablet, but I'll give oneclick a try anyway. Thanks.
I've just tried SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0. It says it's already rooted because it can find /system/xbin/su, but I continued anyway. It can copy busybox (temp) but cannot change the permissions and it stops there.
Try resetting your tablet and if the su binary is stil there remove it. After resetting retry with superoneclick.

Thanks, but how do I delete it since I don't have the permissions? In case it's possible, is it safe to remove the su binary? I have no way to recover my firmware...
Use ./adb root to remove it because you will be root.After removing it reset your tablet to factory settings. It is safe because the su binary is not part of the os.
Then try rooting with oneclickroot.
Hope it works for you.
i also bought wm8850 tablet in china..can you teach me how to root in detailed its my first android device....i dont understand the other terms u are using....
Hi jallaine12gil,
I think that you should first try to root with oneclickroot. Post if it worked or not. Oneclickroot is a rooting program for android devices.
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard
if camera is in the top centre of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
if camera is in top right of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard

How to get adb working on the wm8850?
Hi, sorry to interject with something semi-unrelated, but how did you guys get adb working with the wm8850? I've added the vendor id to the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini on mac, but adb still can't find the device. I used 0x0ea0, is this what you guys used?
Any advice would be great!

The thing wont recognize my phone and wont show the options to do xrecovery or any of the other options except for Flash...please help im desperate for a rom
You need to root first.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
Then in flashtool click 'ask root permissions' and have your phone unlocked and accept superuser permissions w/the prompt on your phone. Then you're good to go.
*edit- make sure it is the fixed xrec for 2.3.3. I use a Rom w xrec included so I didn't have to install it & I dont remember if that's the one in flashtool now.

these commands still the same you just need to change (eventually) to the right path.
check the zip structure to see that
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/chargemon of=/system/bin/chargemon
dd if=/sdcard/xrecovery.tar of=/system/bin/xrecovery.tar
reboot
chargemon to \system\bin
charger to \system\bin
sh to \system\xbin
xrecovery.tar to \system\xbin
i dont see any busybox file or anything like that...please help i dun think busybox has been installed...

Just start all over with flashtool it will work then.
Go to settings then applications, then development, check debug mode.
Start flash tool on your pc and connect the phone
IF the phone is rooted, it should be recognized by flash tool
On flash tool click ask root perm, look at your phone screen, superuser should pop up asking if to give permission, simply choose allow.
Then click recovery on flash tool and wait a sec....
should pop up asking which gingerbread version to use. choose 0.3GB, since its gb version you have.
when you're ready to use xrecovery, restart the phone
as soon as the phone comes on and the first sony ericsson name comes up, keep pressing the back button, xrecovery will come up.
i did both kernel things...but the thing is it won't recognize my device as a rooted device...i have superuser and I have used apps that require root...so i guess the problem is well idk...and thats what i need help with sorting out.
1. Install busybox from market (xrec needs busybox)
2. Give root explorer root acces and mount /system writeable (look in settings of your file explorer)
3. Copy files to right place:
chargemon to /system/bin
charger to /system/bin
sh to /system/xbin
xrecovery.tar to /system/xbin
4. Give above files the right permissions (long touch on file and choose property option):
user > read, write, execute
other > read, execute
group > read, execute
Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.
Hi,
some days ago i brought a new Prestigio Tablet. There was no Root Tool available for this tablet and i did a lot of searching to find a way to achieve root rights.
Today I found a way and want to share my results with you.
The solution is similar to the one described in this Post.
The main difference is the file system of the system image.
In the PMP5080B Rom the system.img is in cramfs and the wendal script unpacks this image onto disk.
The system.img in the PMP5097C is ext3 so you can mount the image directly on a Linux system and copy the Superuser binaries and set the rights with chmod.
copy /B su system\bin\
copy /B Superuser.apk system\app\
chmod -R 0777 system/*
chmod 6755 system/bin/su
chmod 6755 system/app/Superuser.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after you did this and copied the modified image back into the Temp/Image folder you can use the script to pack the ROM back together.
Now you can flash the new ROM on the usual way like described in the manual.
Hope this helps
Please can you upload the patched image file ..
THX a lot

Hope this will fix the issue.

Same problem here
I dont suppose anyone has had any progress with the russian firmware which was posted earlier, still cant seem to gain root access through it for some reason. It might possibly be the same problem as was detailed before in that the owner of the superuser is not root? although i have noticed that there is no superuser app on this firmware, any ideas anyone?
Ok found a firmware that seems to be rooted and is working 100% on my device only small issue is that it is for another tablet (eFun M1005) which seems to be the exact same tablet just rebranded for sale in asia possibly. Anyway:

As i said is working fine on my tablet and seems to have no problems but i have only tested it for ~1 hour

Hi,
I've just downloaded official and rooted 1.0.6 img and I wanted to look into it before flashing. For some reason
Code:
mount -t ext3 -o loop ASBSM1005HN_20120802_V1.0.6.img /mnt
on my box doesn't work (wrong superblock). Did they changed fs or I'm doing something wrong?
BTW thanks for sharing the rom.

You must extract firmware file with Wendal RK29xx Image Tools and then you get images (.img) that you can mount in linux (system.img, etc ..).
I rooted like this: extracted firmware with wendal, than mounted system.img in linux - copied "su" and "superuser.apk" and set right permissions to this files. Than packed firmware back together also with wendal tools.
Today I had to send my 5097 for repair ... it won't turn on no more normally. I had to press few times reset, then power and if that didn't work - sometimes it started when I connected it to PC. I tried several different firmwares, but same situation with all.
Anyone heard of or had similar problems?

First, mount /system in CWM. Then reboot you phone and open a root file manager. Go to system/bin and there will be a file called su. Delete it...

because cannot find any other way to root zenfone after upgrade to kitkat 4.4.2..
insert meaning use say winrar and insert su, busybox to system/bin and supersu.apk to system/app folder without unzipping it and flash it.
