I am trying to find a how to root idea usa 7" tablet from fry's for $77.00. Their is a lot of rooting programs but I have not been able to find anything on this model.
Also what would be a good rom to flash it with? I tried finding out if uberoid or cyanogenmod would work but I could not find any info on this model.
Not to sure what model I have that I would be able to flashing this rom with, either uberoid, cm7/cm9 or miui? Help
Model: MID, sv7206 v1.4, kernel 2.6.35.7-infotm
processor armv6 rev5,
hardware imapx200,
android 2.3.3,
brand infotmic,
display gri40,
release codename REL
bootloader unknown
I don't know if this is the right model IDea USA IUMID-0071 because the spec's are off. Http ://ideausa.us/produects.html but similar. I am looking for rom that is more update/modern. any potters?
Does anyone have the original rom for this or know how to make a backup this rom?
Well I am thinking that is might be this model but not to sure wm8650,SV7206 v1.4 or IDea USA IUMID-0071.
The screen is very slow on this model. Unless you use a pen then is works better.
Also hoping to be able to flash this to ics 4
Just trying to get some clarification.
Try running the superoneclick batches. Shortfuse.org

Thanks, I am download it right now.
Also can you use airdroid to do a backup or has anyone tried this yet and maybe upload a rom that way? any thoughts?
Thanks
Never heard of airdroid

AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage & control your Android device from a web browser Over-The-Air. Just for anyone that wants to know.
I don't know if airdroid can copy all of your file to the desktop from your browser. But I don't know how the file system works for the android. So I wouldn't know if it can or is there a good place to read about the android file system? Wait I know I will google that. google is my friend. But I was hoping for a more advance person that could answer on this topic than me.
Thanks

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Oh my, what a mess...
This post is in regards to the Idea USA Tablet (Unable to Root)
My specs:
- Idea USA Tablet (Made in China)
- Model Number: MID (Unknown)
- Android Version: 2.3
- Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
- Build Number: MID-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 (ENG)
Issues:
Whelp, I have tried the basics and I can't get this thing to root for anything. I was able to get it to hook into the PC through USB. There are 2 usb slots on the side of the tablet. I believe one is for HOST and the other usb is for OTG (Charging). Once I figured out the host port, then I had to download the drivers for this poorly made tablet...But, what drivers? You go to the Idea US website and you get no helpful information. So, there are no drivers made specifically for this $100 dollar generic tablet from FRY's. Ok... No big deal... So, I download the default "Android USB Drivers".
Peachy, it worked! Now, I can transfer files back and forth between the card(s). Wonderful, first step down, next step was to root. So, I read up on how to root with Super One Click.
Ok, so now, I set the tablet to "USB Storage" and "Host"...Then I download and run Super One Click.
Ok, I run the "Super One Click v.2.3.3"; by clicking the root button and then all I get is a frozen screen that reads:
Code:
Killing ADB Server.... Kill Server 0.11s
Starting ADB Server.... StartServer 4.09s * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully*
And then it just freezes the program. So, now I'm completely stuck. I mean I learned a great deal, that I can hook up a keyboard, mouse, etc to this thing, but, obviously Super One Click was not designed for these generic tablets. I have read other articles which have suggested that the .inf driver for the default "Android USB Drivers" needs to be edited for your specific tablet model and you must enter the specific CODE# for it to recognize for rooting with Super One Click... But, god forbid, I haven't found any useful information on where that might be. Also, someone suggested to install the Android SDK and edit those files along with the .inf files to make this work. But, that didn't work either. I did everything right. I turned off USB debugging and then I would wait for super one click to come up with waiting for device...but that never happened. I even tried it with USB debugging on... still nothing.
Has anyone created a generic batch program to root these types of devices? What am I doing wrong here?
Since every tablet is different with different boot mangment. Makes it hard to make a generic root kit.. and being a frys computer salesman I try very hard to talk people out of those things unless. They swear they are only us8ing it for facebook

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Well, this took me all night to read and learn about how to root this basic tablet from Fry's.
First off, I tried many different things and it just didn't work. Using super one click is definitely out of the question for this particular tablet.
I read all night and thankfully found the forum article on how to solve this issue on xdadevelopers own forum.
As per quoted quotes below:
.....You can use gingerbreak to root this. Run it once and let it reboot, then use supermanager free from market to rename the su symlink from /bin/ to "old" or something, and reboot again.
You should now have root ........ It might take a couple of trys but it works.
You need to download supermanager from the market. Enable root in supermanager settings and click yes when superuser pops up.
Then use the file explorer within supermanager to navigate to the /bin/ directory and you will find a sysmlink called su
You need to rename this su symlink to old - completely take out the name su.
Just to be safe run gingerbreak again and then you can install busybox from market.

Thank you so much Pablo11. The idea is to download the APK for GingerBreak from online onto your IDEA USA tablet directly. The trick here is that the brand name is IDEA "USA", but the real workings behind the "MID" is "ViMicro". You will notice that displayed as you turn on your tablet. So, in order to find real information about your MID device, you have to search articles for vimicro.
Once you run gingerbreak, your tablet will go completely nuts. Nothing will run right. Things will break and it will be a complete mess. It will however, install superuser apk. However, it will not work. You can download the Root Checker from the market and you will notice it is NOT rooted. So...thanks to pablo11, you will want to download supermanager from the google play market. Install it.
Next go into the supermanager settings and click on ROOT. Make sure root is enabled and checked marked in the settings. When you enable root in the settings, it will prompt you with "allow root?" Click on Yes. This will give you the access you need.
But, your not done, once again as per Pablo11, go to the super managers file manager section. Get to the root directory by clicking up, and then find the folder "bin". Look for the file "SU" and rename this to "old".
Now, you will be able install busybox and any thing else thats root.
By the way, restart your tablet again, and I "personally" recommend that you go into your settings> Privacy> Check mark both (Backup my data and Automatic Restore) and then click on Factory data reset. Start the tablet from like it was brand new. Don't worry it will keep the root that you did intact. You will just have to re-register the tablet with your existing gmail that you originally used with that tablet.
Lastly, use the root checker from the market and you will see that it is successfully rooted.
Okay... Now, my next step. To crack open this tablet and put in a bigger SD Card as the 2G SDCARD is way too small, especially if you want to use new roms and install a linux operating system onto it....
@njbsuperman story telling of Pablo11's method worked for me. I have a generic android 2.2 7 in. "MID" white box, picture of the tablet on each side all of that and it worked for me. Had to restart and run ginger break a couple times but I followed the directions and it worked.
Thanks for posting this, got this for my 6 yr old for his b-day and of course I gotta ****in tim allen it and I happened to stumble across your findings and your post you put up 2 days before the unwrap. Thanks...smoke blunts.
Using Unlock Root to Root IDeaUSA Tablet
I know that this thread is a few months old, but I thought that I'd share what I used to root my 7" IDeaUSA YG A777 Android Tablet. I used Unlock Root. It's a simple program that rooted my tablet in minutes with one click. This site won't let me insert links in posts (I'm new to this site), but you can find the program by typing "Unlock Root" into Google. It should be the first site that comes up.

I have the CT-702 with Android 4.0.3 and can't get past the USB connecting to the storage devices. I can manipulate the files on the internal and external cards but any attempts to use the unlockroot package (from unlockroot.com which is full of adware) or other packages (z4root, ICS Root Unlocker 1.0) do not detect the device. There is a payware unlockroot package at unlockroot.org. Is this the package that works? Is there a no computer apk like gingerbreak (which fails) available or a procedure to get past the USB business.
is there a way to root the idea USA ct-705

@captinmudslide,
I'm in the same boat as you, in fact we must have bought them about the same time. I'm hoping that you are following this thread, and that you found something that works to root this beast. I 've been digging and trying any and everything I can find that works on other android devices. I was hoping that holding the power button and vol+ or vol- would get me somewhere. Vol+ at least gives me the dead robot, but can't do anything with it. Was hoping that if the adb server was running it would connect. Nope.
Anybody monitoring this thread, feel free to offer something that hasn't already been covered previously.
Thanks.

Holy crap, I rooted the device.
If anyone needs this later, here's what I did:
Fist I pulled down SRS Root, Unlock Root, Gingerbreak and the generic Google USB drivers.
I went into the properties of the missing driver CT1006 and checked the hardware ID. I opened android_winusb.inf and added the lines:
;ProScan plt-7035
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
under the headings of [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64].
I ran Gingerbreak a few times, per a thread I read, but the app would hang. I tried it 3 times.
Then, I went back to Device Manager and selected "Update Driver" and pointed to the .inf I edited earlier. I detached and reattached the device via USB to my PC and ran SRS Root, which still reported an error. Then I ran Unlock Root and the first time it said my device was already rooted, but I told it to root again. It did and my device rooted. I then looked in my apps and found SuperSU installed and was able to run Sixaxis Controller, which requires root to run, which confirmed root worked.
I don't know which step actually solved the issue, but hopefully if anyone has this issue in the future, they can figure that part out.

I've been able to root this tablet using Kingo ROOT, with the "latest_usb_driver" from Google (1/27/2014).
I have set:
c:\users\{USERNAME}\.android\adb_usb.ini
with the value: 0x2207
And have used the RK_DriverAssitant available online
It takes a lllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time for my Windows 8.1 x64 to recognize it, but eventually it will show with:
c:\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices

Hi, I am newly registered user here who bought a 32GB Tablet S on the Woot deal the other day, long story short there is a question about the configuration of the Woot deal tablets over in the developer section, but since I am a new user with less than 10 messages posted, I can't answer there, so I am answering here in hopes someone will point them to this message, and it may be helpful for others:
About Tablet reads:
Android Version 3.2
Kernel version 2.6.36.3 [email protected]#1
Build number 1.10.001100001
On a side point I would like to ask if these are rootable from 3.2? and should I upgrade to 4.03, I have read some on lack of root access on these devices?
thanks
p.s. I am fairly new to Android, have a version 2.2 phone, but have been running Linux as my primary OS for over a decade

Hey. Thanks I thknk that was me. I don't have min.e yet but I think from reading alone that you can pull a zip from an early ics build and root it using condi's aio method. Don't quote me... I also think that you cannot root it out of the box.. but ics should hav e a new kernel.
As a linux dude maybe you can help out with the dev on these things.... it seems to be needed.
I would wait for someone in the know about this process to answer.
Thanks...I really hbope I can root it. Custom roms would be nice but a root is almost a requirement for me.
Thanks agaain for the reply

The kernel being build 10 will probably cause a failure trying to root the 3.2 directly to 4.0.3. First, run Condi's All-in-One tool (use AiO v4.0, I believe v4.1 has a bug that Condi needs to fix) to pre-root and install a version of 3.2.1r2 with a kernel build that is less than 10 like THIS ONE or THIS ONE. Then run Condi's All-in-One tool again to pre-root and install version 4.0.3r1a. Remember to take your time and read slowly, carefully, and completely before using the AiO tool. Good luck. BTW, I also bought the same Woot deal (my second Sony Tablet S). It is scheduled to arrive Monday and I will be doing the same pre-root and install.
Thanks, by chance do you know if there is a step by step howto on the condi All-in-One tool that is not full of insider only alphabet soup acronyms, I think I get the concepts, but I also know messing up can create a fairly expensive paperwieght. I have googled a few sets of instructions, but they seem to all inlcude steps like before running AIO make sure your ABC or XYZ is up to date, this may be fine for people that have done this a dozen times, but for those of us going down this road for the first time we have no idea of what an ABC or XYZ is, or even what it stands for, much less how to find out if they are up to date. It also seems most of these instructions take steps for granted, saying things like "copy file onto an SD" with no further explanation, such as must it be an SD card or will SDHC work, is file name or directory structure important, etc. I am not so much looking for handholding here as just some confirmation that my assumptions may be right, even such things as if these tools should be downloaded onto a computer running windows or onto the Tablet itself. With the woot sale I suspect that there will be many more people here soon with these sorts of questions, and many will be completely clueless, at least I do have 25+ years of running Unix like operating systems, and have been using Linux as my primary OS since the 2.0 kernel days, and to tell the truth am rather lost in all these messages full of acronyms and short hand descriptions.

In the thread that covers Condi's All-in-One tool, what you see is what you get. But to get a good gest of how to root the Sony Tablet S, I recommend you watch BluechipJ's VIDEO and read TheHurf's POST, which is the post BluechipJ was following in his video. I also recommend you watch the video and read the post several times before you actually attempt performing the root. Please note that the video and post are based on using All-in-One v2.7. Regarding "SD", a standard SD or SDHC card can be used, but it must be formatted FAT32. I used a SanDisk 32 GB SDHC card. Again, good luck.
Thanks, I found the videos last night, but not the message threads they were refering too. Together I am sure they will be most helpful
So I read the posts referenced earlier on, and I watched the video, but both start from a rootable ROM already on the tablet. Since the Woot ones come with 3.2 with the un-rootable kernel 10, I'm not sure how to do the intermediate step of getting the rootable 3.2.1 version on there?
The tablet is offering me an OTA update, but it says it's for 4.0.3 - it doesn't seem to give an option to go to an earlier version first. Does this mean that we're boned on these ones, or is there another way to get a rootable version on first?
It looks like the ALLinONE tool can't do anything for us unless we either root the tablet or make it rootable - am I missing something or looking at something the wrong way?

If you want to have root access on your tablet, DO NOT ALLOW THE TABLET TO PERFORM AN OTA UPDATE.
First, download the 3.2.1r2 and 4.0.3r1a files from the previously given links and store them on your computer. Next, download and install on your computer Condi's All-in-One tool. The most popular versions seem to be 2.7, 3.4, and 4.0. The previously mentioned video and post are based on version 2.7.
Now manually update the 3.2 to 3.2.1r2; don't not attempt to root it yet. Just copy the 3.2.1r2 file to a SD card (formatted FAT32) and install the card in your tablet. Power off (not sleep mode) your tablet. Power on your tablet into recovery mode by continuously holding down the VOL+ button and momentarily pressing the POWER button. Release the VOL+ button after you see the recovery mode logo. From the recovery mode's menu, select 2 Update system from SD card. (VOL+ and VOL- buttons are used to navigate the menu, POWER button is used to select the highlighted selection.) From the next menu, choose and select the 3.2.1r2 file. Allow the manual update to complete.
After your tablet has been updated to 3.2.1r2, leave the copied 3.2.1r2 file on the SD card and use Condi's All-in-One tool to root and reinstall 3.2.1r2 by following the directions given in the previously mentioned video and post.
Finally, after 3.2.1r2 is rooted and installed, delete the 3.2.1r2 file from the SD card and copy the 4.0.3r1a file to the SD Card. Again use Condi's All-in-One tool to root and install 4.0.3r1a by again following the directions given in the previously mentioned video and post.
To summarize: first update 3.2 to 3.2.1r2, then root and reinstall 3.2.1r2, then lastly root and install 4.0.3r1a. Good luck.
Thanks! It was late last night, and I must have been in the wrong headspace to be trying this, because I woke up in the middle of the night and thought "Oh, I bet I have to put it in recovery and flash that file..."
After that, everything went pretty smoothly along, just as everyone said. A couple places where the process varied from what the ALLinONE tool seemed to expect (the _hack_recovery.zip file doesn't get pushed, or rather gets pushed as "install.zip," which I guess is supposed to make it auto-flash when you enter recovery, but on mine it didn't, so I copied _hack_recovery.zip over manually and ran it with the same results). Otherwise very smooth. Everything looks great.
Thanks!
Cat: your link above with the 3 files (THIS,THIS and version 4.0.3r1a) to donwload, seems to have an issue, specifically the link to version 4.0.3r1a goes to a file with the exact same name as one of the "THIS" files, maybe a different copy of the same file as the link is different. Before making a major mistake I wanted to confirm that "this" is correct.
Ike
p.s. one more detail, should the zip files be copied to the SD card still zipped, or should they be unzipped to the SD?

I checked all the links. They are correct.
The first THIS ONE and the second THIS ONE are links to the same file stored at two different locations; that is why I wrote "or". Both files are signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip, which is a rootable version of 3.2.1r2. The first was uploaded to 4shared by Condi, the second was uploaded to 4shared by me. I provided both links just in case one of us decides to delete our upload. After all, the files are eating up our allotted 4shared storage space, eh?
The link for the 4.0.3r1a file signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip links directly to Sony's servers.
The zip files are to be used as is. Do not unzip them. They are encrypted and signed files. If you attempt to unzip them using programs like 7zip or WinRAR, you will receive error messages saying the files are corrupted even though they are not corrupted.

Thank you for posting a much need FAQ.
A couple of hours ago, FedEx delivered my (second) Sony Tablet S from Woot. It is a model SGPT112US/S. About tablet says Android version 3.2, Kernel version 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1, Build number 1.10.001100001.
Above, you state 11000 (I assume you mean Build number 1.10.001100001) must be updated to 0035 (version 3.2 file signed-nbx03_001-ota-0035.001.zip) before updating to 0042 (version 3.2.1r2 file signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip). I am curious, please explain why 11000 cannot be directly updated to 0042? Why the need for the intermediate 0035 update?
Like i said in an ealier post, I planned on updating 3.2 to 3.2.1r2, then rooting and reinstalling 3.2.1r2, then rooting and installing 4.0.3r1a. Is my plan with error? Am I wrongly advising others to do the same?

Not too sure with US but have had a user woth Mexico and had to install 0035 3.2.1 before 0042 3.2.1r2 as installation would abort. If it works without 0035 than thats awesome but atleast the way I described It will 100% work :fingers-crossed:
I assume it must be done this way because 0035 is 3.2.1 and 0042 is 3.2.1R2???

OK........ WTF?? I was meaning if you wanted proof for the reason I suggest this method (0035 > 0042) then look at that thread. I was not implying you were a noob and needed to follow a step-by-step.

You seem to have misunderstood my reply to you. You said "Thank you" to me and I replied "No, thank you!" to you meaning that no, you should not be thanking me; instead, I should be thanking you. I hope I have cleared up the confusion.

LOL, I get it now. Haha gotta love forum confusion . Anyway you may have been right aswell, over on FAQ thread, a US user managed to get by without flashing the 0035 inbetween....... Yet the Mexican region's update needed the 0035 inbetween. But I guess there is only 1 way to find out......

Hi,
I just got a fusion5 xtra tablet from a seller on ebay. 10.1" quad core-A31 Series for 90 pounds.
I have tried a couple of tools, z4root and another pc based one, to no avail. I have seem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143581 and other similar threads for other allwinner a31 devices, but this tablet has no update program on it.
tools seem to think there is an su binary(z4root and AnTuTu both think it is rooted) , but it is not rooted properly.
just wondering if anyone else has had any joy?
full spec is:
fusion5 xtra
Model BS1078
android 4.4.2
firmware v4.5
kernel 3.3.0 [email protected] #4 thu feb 27 19:00 CST 2014
build no fiber_bs1078-eng 4.4.2 KOT49H 20140308 test-keys
AnTuTu shows it as a YonesToptech, BS1078, AllwinnerTech A31,
Thanks for any help, or even if you can post the apk for the update program from the Onda tablet.
thanks, Chris
ok so I managed to root it with vroot. This tool is not recommended here and I am still motoring the network from the device to see if it dials home. the only worrying thing I have seen is the maxathon browser going back to Bejing at a potentially dodgy IP, which was there already.
for the PC side, I did it on a VM and snapped it back once done.
search on here for vroot and decide if you want to risk it.
Yes,I just got this tablet from Amazon. thought it was a great price, but rooting is total pain! read up about vroot here on XDA, a few are worried about malware etc, it's the first device I've got that rooting is a nightmare. And what's with maxthon browser? If root works for this tab,the first thing that will be going will be that dodgy browser!

I managed to get into standard recovery via via comp by running adb reboot recovery. but for some reason the volume buttons won't let me highlight anything, only the power button lets met reboot the tablet.
Sent from my W100 using xda app-developers app
that is as far i have got with recovery.. can't change the option..
I used
vroot to root it (as said in a vbox machine so could snap it back and leave nothing on the pc)
i used network connections to see what network traffic was going on
titanium backup to trim out anything i didn't like the look of maxathon browser, 4k video and something called dragonphone and dragonfire (no idea what these are!)
and used xposed to add kitkat features back, multiple users for one and other tweaks.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
installed avast a/v it hasn't suggested anything is bad.
still trying to get google plus app to install.. haven't tried too hard yet tho.
I use xposed on my phones(mk based)Will use vroot, only because all other possible ways rooting do not work.maybe it's because it's kitkat or something else.

Rooted via kingo now.worked first time.I've heard it does something with the camera, but haven't noticed any extra camera apps(or anything else except super su) in the system apps folder.
Sent from my W100 using xda app-developers app
from a quick search on here, Kingo does seem a more approved tool rather then vroot.. (well no one is shouting don't use it like they do with vroot!)
good spot.
just a quick update after rooting fusion5 extra tablet.so far so good.got rid of a few apps that i knew shouldn't be there.only moan i have is i can`t use my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse(mk270)i able to use on them on my mk809ii android tv stick.on that it worked first time on the fusion i have no joy.maybe its the mini usb port or maybe the little receiver doesn't like the ota cable that came with the tablet but my P.S.3 keyboard works fine.and of course still no luck in finding out why the volume controls don't work in recovery.just have to keep looking for an answer,or try to find a way to install a touch screen version of cwm recovery.

have to say I haven't tried much more recently, but one thing it bugging me is I can't get google+ to install.. I haven't tried too hard yet, but for some solutions flashing via recovery is a method to get it on...
I must get round to trying the hdmi and a 3g dongle..
Hdmi works.(using mine to watch xbmc via TV) and my 3UK dongle connected straight away.

Thought I had sussed the Google+ thing by using the market helper app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216
It let me find it and try to install it, but it ended up saying missing library...
The missing library issue is related to google maps libraries missing.
The two files required are in the zip attached. Use Root browser to put them in the following locations.
the xml file in /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
the jar file in /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
set permissions to RW-/R--/R-- for both files.
Reboot.
And all apps that use location access/maps will now work. But yes, you will need market helper to get Plus to appear in the market to start with.

tested and works on my allwinner a31
Little bits are starting to fall in to place with this tablet, but cwm is still the big one with this.as the standard one on this tablet has no function at all (except restart the tablet.)

Worked a treat, thanks for posting. (I coped the files from my lg g2 just to save checking where the downloaded files came from)
All good on my fusion 5 xtra.
I now think this tablet has everything i want, multi user for the kids and all google apps etc for me.
Hi, I'm fairly new to Android after using Windows mobile for many years, and recently came across this thread.
Device fusion5 Xtra
OS: jellybean 4.2.2
Firmware: v3.3
kernel: 3.3.0 [email protected] #11 fri nov 15
build: fiber_bq1078 eng 4.2.2 jdq39 20131112 test-keys
a31 quad core
Stuff I've discovered
Using stock Recovery mode,
Top return key to move down( the one next to the volume keys)
use(tap) the side power button to select
Rooting(my tablet was rooted confirmed with kingo)
Download/install this Android SDK http://visualgdb.com/android/install_redir?item=SDK
Next
Download this UsbDriverTool http://visualgdb.com/UsbDriverTool/
Plug in tablet in mass storage mode, run tool right click android - install android ADB
Kingo should now be able to root tablet or you could try if you're worried about spyware
Bin4ry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 as it seems to root older a10 devices no idea if it will root a31
Rom customizer(from google play store) lets you remove items from rom (stay gone after hard reset(be careful)) although I couldn't remove dragon phone as it was not listed but you can manually remove this after ahard reset
My Questions:
1/ Where can I find the android 4.4 Kitkat rom for this device its being sold with 4.4 now so must be around some ware
2/ What is the key combination to enter recovery mode
3/ I understand you need a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom rom on this device anyone done this ?
http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?share...8622&third=0&dir=/BQBS category/BS1078&page=1.
I think this is the stock roms for the fusion 5 xtra bq1078
Still need some form of custom recovery to install them(if they are for this model) and in my case the standard recovery on my tablet,the volume buttons in recovery do not Work,and only the power button works to restart the tablet.

BS1078 Root and CWM
Got this a few months back, seems YonesToptech is the manufacturer for various OEM, so tablet names may differ
ROOT GENIOUS roots in 2 clicks, avail as English v erosion too, search the Web for it. Installs the CWM version of SU
which
provide basic recovery . hook up a mouse to the mini usb, and when your in recovery moving the mouse will highlight selections, volume up is to accept . allows you to install from internal and external sd which is great, just make sure zip is signed first.
firmware updates with 6/29 and 7/3 date are on the Web from Biadu, in Chinese . uses Phoenix suite live to update firmware
using tablet through hdmi IMHO is BETTER than tv boxes. no browser close issues, very stable, latest firmware, Ii wish I had never wasted cash on those tv sticks. this is the way to go
oh... wiggle the Otg cord a bit if your mouse AND keyboard are not simultaneously noticed, worked for me.
here's the links for what you need, firmware is no longer hosted, i sent email for firmware to Company for update will post when recd

Hey, I'm new to the entire Android thing, so I bought a super cheap tablet just to goof off with. It's a Proscan PLT7602G 8GB. I want to root this device and either flash it so it removes all this bloat cuz the memory is terrible, or find another alternative to removing bloat. Here's some information
Proscan PLT7602G It's the 8GB version.
It's running Android 4.2.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.36+
[email protected] #52
Thurs Mar 13 17:37:55 CST 2014
Build Number
PLT7602G-ANDROID4.2.2v-1.0.0
The box says the Processor is a Rockchip 3026 Dual-Core
Not sure if that's relevant to anything but it's there.
Now I've read somewhere that typically these are pre-rooted. I downloaded Root Checker, it tells me mine is not rooted. I have another 8 inch tablet that I'll look into doing the same thing to, assuming I can get this one to run a bit smoother. Also, it should be noted that, I can plug the device in and my PC detects it and I can explore the NAND FLASH and the SD card I put into the device. So I must have installed the drivers correctly. Weird thing is, Device manager shows it with a Yellow question mark under other devices. However, the same device is also under portable devices and says it's installed fine. So, no idea lol. So if anyone can help me out here, that'd be amazing, thank you!
Le bump. Anyone? I'd like to get this smooth.

I just posted some instructions here:

Hi,
I own a Pono player, which is great when it comes to sound, but has a crappy firmware.
On early versions, it seems that debugging was easier (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-file-1-0-3-gingerbread-complete-rom.2967757/) but since version 1.0.6 everything is locked (or I'missing something.. how did they extract logs, ROMs, etc?).
So my idea is to craft a fake update file in order to re-enable adb, push a new main app, etc.
The upgrade process works as follow:
- Connect the PonoPlayer and put a "pono_1.0.6.update" file on the /.pono/ directory
- Craft a firmware.xml file which is supposed to contain the current firmware version: set it to 1.0.5
- Disconnect the Pono, it now thinks it' in version 1.0.5 and an upgrade to 1.0.6 is available.
Internally, the main Pono app scans the .pono/ folder and calls RecoverySystem.verifyPackage.
This works just fine: the device updates again to version 1.0.6.
Now I want to modify this update file and I still have no success even with a simple unpack/repack, without touching anything, thus not altering signatures.
I've tried to unpack/repack using apktool ("apktool d pono_1.0.6.update" + "apktool b pono_1.0.6.update.out") but the firmware update fails (stucked at 0%, and according to the app code that's what happens when an unexpected exception occurs).
I've tried to re-sign it (PonoPlayer is using the android testkey) with no more success.
How is it that a simple unpack/repack creates an apk with seems wrong is some ways?
Thanks for any help, I'm quite stucked..

Alright, I think I got it:
When rebuilding, the original scripts found in META-INF/com/ are lost. Just need to figure out how I can place them back.
It's probably for me time to read: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-index-how-to-modify-an-apk.4208093/post-84170227

Hi, I inadvertently wiped ny pono player, so now no music shows on player or the SD card. I formatted the internal memory when I was supposed to format the SD card. I am sure the player will now be unusable. Is this right ?
