Hi there fellow "noob"! It seems we have the same Android tab (it's 7 inches right? and the camera is in the front? and it only has two buttons --the power button and volume buttons? right?)
Ok, just a couple of questions:
1. Did you happen to find a Windows "driver" for this device? (I think this is pretty much needed to link it and run an ADB Android Debug Bridge you can download at Android Developers site (just Google it coz Im not allowed yet to post outside links)
2. How do you go into the recovery mode? What buttons do you push? Since it only has 2 and with no "Home" button to press Im pretty new at this but I think for any rooting to happen one has to go apply a CWD process

attached
root
drivers
install drivers and put tablet in usb debugging and root

Discovery V5
Hi, I've recently bee looking into getting this phone but am not sure if its worth getting due to the lack of ram. I am looking for a rugged phone on a budget for when I do 'out-doorsy' stuff. would anybody that owns the phone give me a quick review and a list of what it can and can't do and overall if it is worth getting (I know somewhere that I can get it for £67). thank you and if it is possible to root it this will be a big bonus.
Unrooteable???

I don't know anymore what kind of cpu is in there.Before it was with sc8810,maybe they did an upgrade to some mtk cpu.Antutu benchmark is around 5200.
It's not ics,probably 2.3!
This works!

Use this, it worked for me on this same model phone. Just run this program, then connect phone to PC with USB debugging enabled. You will then need to click the blue button in bottom right corner.
It will install a chinese language Superuser but simply install SuperSU or Superuser from Play Store and make sure you press the right hand button when the chinese superuser request pops up when you go to update the su binary in the english SuperSu or Superuser.
**After you have updated su binary in the english version of Superuser/SuperSU, then you can delete the chinese version and still keep root. After the su binary is updated root access control gets handed off to the english version.**
Hope this helps!
***EDIT*** You have google to find Vroot, cant post a link to it on XDA.
I found the solution

Hi,
Off top of my head, did you try the Chinese root program I posted above? If that don't work I would say to try Root by Restore next and if that don't work either, try motochopper.
Let me know if any of the 3 methods work. If it had a MT65xx processor I know another method but you would need to install antutu and it will tell you all device specific information we need.

I too used this solution and installed the English Superuser along with the chinese version above and it worked like a charm. Dont forget to keep both versions to maintain root.

Not true! You do not need to keep the chinese version, once you install English Superuser or SuperSU and use chinese "superuser" to grant access to english version so it can update its own binary you are free to remove the chinese version. That is first thing I did so I know it works, just make sure you grant access with chinese app when updating su binary in english version, after updating english binary you pretty much hand off control of root access to the english version.

Perhaps I didnt grant access right the first time I installed ROOT´óʦ as I had to reinstall it when I went to change something and was prompted that I didnt have the system rooted. I just reinstalled and left it there not knowing better. I love this phone and its perfect so far except bluetooth that I cant get to pair with my hands free system in my 2012 Subaru Forester. Have you had any issues with bluetooth?

Well Klown80, you are awesome to have helped us that own and are fans of this phone. It is the ONLY sub $150 rugged smartphone made and is worth the time to set-up if you want a rugged smart phone on the cheap.

Thank you, I am glad I could help. I like to tackle these lesser known phones, I cant hold a candle to the skills of the really well known guys on here, but I try to do my part still I do still have the stock back up made with MTK droid Tools (thank Rua1 for his awesome tool, it comes in handy for these MediaTek devices), I would recommend you download the tool and back up your own phone at least 3 times, it is good to have in case you mess up phone playing with root. Since this is an almost unknown device it is quite hard to find the firmware files for it, I searched the internet looking for a site to get firmware for this phone and found nothing so in short, to be safe, I would REALLY recommend making a few back ups with MTK Droid Tools, worst case I have a prerooted version saved on my PC, if you ever need it let me know.

[Q] How to root WM8850-mid tablet?

Hey XDA community
I was searching methods for rooting my Android device but none of them worked. So I decided to join this forum.
I need to know how to root a WonderMedia WM8850-mid tablet running Android 4.0.3.
Here are some other details.
Kernel version : 3.0.8
Compilation : 4.0.3 ICS Ver1.5.2-20121127.041249
Camera : Top right corner
If there was an APK like z4root by RyanZA, that'd be great. I have no USB cable that allows me to connect my tablet to my PC.
Regards, ononynous

[Q] Need help identify and root clone Galaxy Note

Dear all,
I need help to identify and root my clone samsung galaxy note i9220, my aunty give it to me. Nothing show at the back of the phone beside imei number.
Below, I attach the picture of info from phone.
Phone spec (real one maybe) :
In Box : Chinese language manual (not for this phone model, sigh)
Model : GT-i9220 (it's not star or haipai, nothing on the box not even the brand or model number)
CPU : MT6575 1Ghz single core (cpuid)
Memory : 256MB (cpuid)
OS : Android 2.3.x something(it show 4.1.4 in about phone but i know it's not)
Camera : 5MP Back camera (lens in the middle and flash on the right), Front camera at the right side.
I need to know how to root this phone and install ICS rom on it (personally, i don't hope for ICS or other rom , it's hard enough to root this thing).
Thank you
Edit : After several attempt i rooted this phone with chinese software. Unfortunately, no custom ics/jb for me.

Visual Land Prime10ES Octa-core android 5.1.1

Howdy. I got a sweet replacement for my Acer Iconia A500 recently, after 5 yrs it finally bit the bit_bucket in the sky>
Attached a screen shot of system page
MODEL : Prime10ES
processor : UltraOcta-A83
Android : 5.1.1
Firmware : v2.1rc3
Kernel ver : 3.4.39 [email protected]#40
build # : LMY48B.20150813
Anyone have any idea on the following:
a) A custom rom for this system
b) the actual maker of the tablet
c) whether it can simply be rooted?
d) any other assistance (like maybe a forurm??)
This was a tablet purchased at Target for $120.
I ask because at minimum putting this into a forum would have helped me when I searched before buying to see if I could root it.
original: with picture here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/visual-land-prime10es-octa-core-android-t3282658/post64570685#post64570685
Not bad, runs much faster then the iconia, but need to still get rid of junkware.
cheers to all and to all a happy New year!

wasn;t happy about it, but installed a root-program, need to boot up and see what it was, will PM you.
It does root it, but still not great. but at least it's rooted.
Did you ever fine out the root program I have some apps if Im able to root this thing...it came encrypted by default because of Marshmallow update... There a kernel manager that requires root I use it on my note 3 the to speed up the processor that might help
