Help Rooting Android 4.1.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
I'm new on this forum and I would like to know how to root my tablet, it's an Allview2SpeedDuo.
Android Version: 4.1.1
kernel: 3.0.8-g56706e5-dirty
[email protected]) )
I searched on YouTube but I found how to do it only for Nexus.
I'm waiting for your replies and thanks in advance.
P.S: When you root your phone/tablet you don't lose data, right?

No1 knows?
I would really like to root my tablet :c

I made a rooted ROM for Allview Alldro 2 Speed DUO based on the original update pack to Android 4.1.1 on wich I uninstalled all the bloatware and crapware. The only problem with it is the Sleep of Death issue wich this ROM has since the release.
I personally use the Onda VI30 Dual Core ROM (the device from wich Alldro2 Speed DUO was cloned) with Android 4.1.1. The only difference is that this ROM works much better than Allview one, the Sleep of Death issue is fixed and does not support the back camera because Onda VI30 dual core doen't have one. Considering the quality of the back camera, it's not a problem for me. Everything works well on this ROM, I rooted it, cleared it from bloatware and crapware, but you have to know how to flash with ImageBurningTool.

Can explaine how root that firmware?
I think that will be very useful because there are many tablets allview 2 speed duo (aka onda vi30 ultimate).
An tutorial will be a great idea!!!
Personaly i wan to remove some app like Search, Bitdefender (because will expire), some playes that no need, and so .....
If something can be improved, will be great.
Can be unroot device if is need? Please, give some details!!!

If you want help just leave me a private message with your email and I will contact you. The forum won't let me post links if I don't have at least 10 posts in here and I don't have time to sit and post messages. I want to help because there is not too much support for custom ROMs dedicated to this great tablet.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I am interested in rooting an Allview Speed City (running 4.1.1). I'm not sure if it's based on an Onda tablet or not, but I'd like to try some generic rooting tools first... I'm planning on adding Titanium backup on it later on.
Would your tool be likely to root this as well?
It's running kernel 3.0.8-geec2035-dirty, built by the same [email protected]

certainly this is a onda model.
Need to search what exactly is.
Most probably is Onda v701:
Sorry i cannot post links!!! Give me an private message for links to the onda model and firmware.

Thanks for the help. I sent you a PM.
In the mean time I've been looking at alternative ways to root generic android devices, and here's what I found:
http://www.pocketables.com/2011/06/how-to-manually-root-almost-any-android-device.html
http://androidforums.com/a52-all-things-root/586982-how-root-any-android-device-manually.html
They do root the device, but I'm not sure if they also unlock the bootloader so that I can install CWM or something similar...

I got some info from vlad2005. It seems that the Allview Speed City is a rebranded Onda 701, so I just need to follow rooting instructions for that.
Here's what I found so far:

Generic onda roms for it can be found here: http://www.onda.cn/Support/Search.aspx?keyword=v701
I haven't tried it yet but will post back once I know if it works...

da m'am gandit si eu la asta, nu tine, e alta versiune de android. onda vine cu 4.0.4

O să scriu în engleză că poate îi e de folos și altcuiva...
Ok, I tried to root my Allview Speed City (4.1.1) using the root.zip linked two posts before. I managed to get the speed city into the recovery boot prompt by pressing HOME + POWER during startup. Since the speed city doesn't have hardware audio buttons (like the onda 701), you will have to use the HOME button as DOWN KEY and the POWER button as ENTER.
Here's an image of the boot recovery screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I chose to sideload the root.zip with the command "adb sideload root.zip" and it reported that the files were successfully copied over:
Upon reboot I get the su binary in /system/xbin/su with a symlink in /system/bin/su. The su binary permissions appear correct: -rwsr-sr-x and the file has root:root as owner/group.
However, when I try to run "su", "su --command /system/bin/sh", "su -l", "su --command uptime" I always get "Permission denied".
If I run "su -h" or "su -v" I get help/version from the binary.
So, the binary seems ok, but something else seems to be missing.
I don't know if rooting only means using an exploit to bypass a closed bootloader and load a su binary (in this case, through recovery we have some control in the bootloader), or if the exploit is something that has to run on the device in addition to the su binary...
I also installed SuperUser from the market and tried to update the su binary, but it failed to gain root access (as expected) and didn't work.
Any ideas what else is needed to root a device?

Root Allview AllDro 2 Speed Duo Android 4.1.1
Sorry i cannot post links!!! Give me an private message for links to download the following file and after that open Root_Gapps_complete.zip and copy root.zip and factory_update_param.aml to your sdcard, once done shut down tablet and boot to recovery* the white android will show then the green android, once done the tablet will restart you will Superuser, Root-Explorer etc..

[SOLVED] Rooted Allview Speed City - Android 4.1.1
Many thanks to actrox for providing the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bbuqt6rwxou7cw2
Here you will find a zip file that contains root + google apps. By using it I managed to root my Allview Speed City/Onda 701 clone tablet (running android 4.1.1).
Here are the rooting instructions:
1. Unzip the archive downloaded above (Root_Gapps_complete.zip) to an external SD card in the root of that card. You will get two files: factory_update_param.aml and root.zip.
2. Plug in the SD card into the tablet (the procedure requires an external SD card; internal storage doesn't work).
3. Turn off the tablet
4. Turn on the tablet in recovery mode. You do this by holding the HOME button and the POWER button pressed until you will see a big green android on the screen. You can release the buttons now. (the screen looks like this image
5. Once the update is complete, the tablet will reboot automatically and you will get a message "Updating system apps". Once it's finished, you are rooted (if Superuser is not installed, you can install it from the market).
6. Install your favourite root apps (e.g. Titanium backup, AFwall, AdAware, etc)

Please follow all XDA rules. All post must either be in English or include an English translation.

Just rooted my Speed City.. But i installed a dpi changer and now it is not starting.. In recovery mode, when i press home button, it turns display on/off, not navigating through menu.. How can i restore the system? any way from computer? thanks!
UPDATE:
Is this firmware compatible with the device?
V701 dual-core_v2.1 firmware V5 version from onda-sale website /download? (cannot post link..)
UPDATE 2:
It seems like the system/build.prop file is the one causing trouble.. I think i just need to create a flashable zip file with the original build.prop file, but i tried and on recovery it say "installation aborted" or something like that..
I have a flashable zip for the same file but for another device, and i replaced the build.prop with my file, signed it but it doesn't work...
Can anyone help, please? thanks..

I take it that you are able to navigate around in recovery now? How did you do that/what triggered Home turning off the screen?
Regarding the rest - I can't help you directly - I wasn't able to download the onda rom from their site...
If you like I can take a nandroid backup of the stock rom and you can try to restore it from recovery (not sure if that recovery supports it)...

Yes, that would be great.. You can give me the backup or only the build.prop file from /sistem as a flashable zip, because i cannot manage to make it work (my flashable zip)
As for the navigating in recovery, i got a tip from somebody to connect a keyboard. I didn't do anything for the recovery to map the wrong buttons, it just did that from first boot in. The zip i tried to install was before i connected the keyboard, did it with a file "factory_update_param.aml", from the root package from above, changing the file path on it..

I started a new thread regarding my problem, since this is just for rooting.. If anybody want to help me with this, please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40766604#post40766604
Thank you!

Sent you an email with the nandroid backup of /system. Let us know how it went...

Hi johnpugazh,
First of all, thank you very much for replying, and providing the solution.
I am confuse, should I root the phone with SuperOneClick, then proceed to flash your System.img file? I was not able to root the phone with SuperOneClick, can you advise which version that you are using?
I am new to the Flash tool, please advise
1) I downloaded the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1206.01, is it the correct version to flash the 6573 phone?
2) Is it ok for you to provide guides to Flash just to make sure the correct procedure is followed.
Thanks again.
Boot Img needed
Hi Friend,
Please can you also share us the boot.img or the entire file for this phone as we have a similar phone which is called Micromax A75 running on android 2.3 dual sim.
Please assist.

Hi there,
Is it possible to flash cwm recovery ti the MTK6573 A9220 and if it is possible, how can I do it?
Thank you
Hi johnpugazh,
After referring to many info and tutorial on "how to flash using SP Flash Tools" from some forums, I eventually tried to flash your System.img, and succeeded to root the phone. The flashing is straight forwards, just that the VCOM driver installation is tricky for me...
Thank you very much for your help. I have been struggling for 3 weeks looking for solution to root this phone, I visited many Chinese Forums and tried their methods, no luck to get it rooted.
Now I am following your advise to install Link2SD to free up more internal storage, and will install more more apps...
Thanks again.
Dear plasticguy,
Same I was also, I learned from flahsing Star x18i/HD7000. I applied same here for A9220 5" Galaxy note clone.
Please note There is serveral models available same like this. This one is special with TV option. Others don't have it. Which is A9220.
The other one i9220 5" don't have TV option.
But both rom works for both model. If you flash i9220 ROM to A9220 you will loose TV option.

Dear sagaff,
I am also looking for custom recovery, It is not yet available. Once I get it I will post it.
Hi johnpugazh,
I faced problem installing the Link2SD..."Mount script error - mount script can not be created", can you please advise?
AND, we definitely have the same phone.
Thank you.
Hi johnpugazh,
I could not figure out how I did it, but now the Link2SD is working, I did not link all system apps, just a few apps and keyboard input, I am now able to see 93M in the storage, wow, this is so great.
I used the MiniTools to partition my 16G-SDcard to Ext2 (~ 1.9G, Primary), the rest FAT32 Primary.
Initially I face problem with "Mount script error" when I first run the Link2SD, after searching the XDA forum, downloaded "ext2.ko" file, follow instruction to copy to /system/lib/modules, I was using the terminal emulator instead of ADB, but face problem with . The instruction as below:
1) download and extract ext2.ko to sdcard
2) copy ext2.ko to /system/lib/modules
but faced problem with "ext2.ko copy failed", refer to forum again, need to rw
the /system, type in the emulator
==> # mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
==> # cp /sdcard/ext2.ko /system/lib/modules
3) after copying, type "insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko"
but faced problem with error "insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/ext2.ko' failed (Exec format error)"
did not know what to do next, so tried to install Link2SD 1.7, reset the phone, still the same "mount script error", so tired, search forum again... later decided to use minitool to change the partition from "ext2 to fat32", then run the Link2SD again, this time, no error, and it worked...but I still don't what made it work...
Thank you.
Dear plasticguy,
MTK6573 phones kernel will not support ext2,ext3 and ext4. fat and fat32 will support.
1. SD card must have two partition, formatted both in fat32 system as primary. Use the minitools partition wiz.
2. 2nd partition maximum 512mb to 1gb enough for apps.
3. Install link2sd and open it, then choose FAT32 option and restart your phone.
4. after restarting open link2sd, goto settings->Autolink enable it, Install Location choose Internal, So all user apps are installed in 2nd partition.
Thats it
5.Now goto link2sd press filter option choose user mode. Now goto menu use multiselect -> select all->Action->create link, before create link uncheck launcher and widgets, and the proceed for create link, thats all wait for complete the action and reboot the phone.
6. Finally after reboot goto link2sd->menu->Storage Info, you can see 3 partition Internal, SD CARD, SD CARD 2nd Part free space's.
Have fun
Note:- System apps,Launcher and widgets leave it in internal memory. You can move user apps to 2nd partition. This will speedup your phone at startup
Hi johnpugazh,
Thank you very much for the info, so that means the last step that I did to change the partition to fat32 made the Link2sd work. Right now I am still in version 1.7, will probably update to 2.0.4
I love this phone, the resolution is just right for me as I am presbyopia, need big screen with large font size. Another good thing is, this phone is Dual-SIM, so I don't have to carry 2 phones out anymore.
Now I am on the Go Launcher EX with ICS theme, change the font size to 15, perfect for my eyes, hopefully this phone can last for long time, but then, I am already planned to get the MTK6575 version as my next phone
Hopefully there are more MTK6573/6575 A9220/I9220 phone users coming in this forum to share their experience in using the phone, and the modifications know-how on the phone so we can learn together.
Thank you.
Hi Plasticguy,
Please can you confirm if your phone is running android 4.0 (ICS)?
Hi vkrajuu,
The information in the Setting/About phone stated Android version 4.0, but when I check in the Factory Mode/Version (Power button and "-" Volume button), the information was Android Ver. 2.3.6, and I believe the 2.3.6 is the correct one...may be the MTK6573 is not powerful enough to run the ICS, I think.
You have exactly the same type of phone (like the photos showed by johnpugazh)? How did you Root your phone? Or it came pre-rooted?
I saw in the "TaoBao" that there are at least 6 types of i9220/N7000/A9220, the latest is the MTK6575 inside with more Rom storage.
Thank you.
MTK6575 1Ghz 5" (Galaxy Note Clones)
Your are right plasticguy. MTK6573 chips can't not run Android 4. MTK6575 is capable for Android 4.
Yes, I am also going to buy MTK6575 processor phone with 5.3". I am looking for 1GB RAM. Now available models are only 512MB RAM.
There is 3 to 4 types of MTK6575 Processor models with 5" and 5.3" available.
My preference are
1. Goophone i9220 5.3" MTK6575 1Ghz, 1GB RAM(now available 512MB only), 4GB ROM Link http://www.szsuff.com/sdp/432923/4/pd-2422217/10294120-2380965/Goophone_i9220_5_3_inch_Capacitive_Screen_Android_.html
2. Star N8000 5" MTK6575 1Ghz 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM with TV options available Link http://www.sunsky-online.com/product/default!view.do?subject.id=249228

Hi johnpugazh,
The 1st option is thinner compared to the others, I have also checked the Taobao, too many options, let's just wait for "better" one.
By the way, you mentioned that you used SuperOneClick to root the A9220, can you share how you did it? What software/apps/driver needed?
I have tried ZergRush, SuperOneClick 2.2, Root_MOTO 2.3.6, MobileUncle, but all did not work, I saw a lot of "fault" and "Error" statements during the rooting process, could be my driver not correct? I checked in the Device Manager, under "Android Phone", the drive showed as "Android Composite ADB Interface", I remembered seeing the other 2 without driver (Base Unit...), I could not remember now as I tried to connect to PC again after rooting, I only saw Android Phone.
Thank you.
Hi johnpugazh,
I am like plasticguy, wishes very much to know how you root your A9220. I too tried many tools including SuperOneClick, unlockroot, many Chinese software but of no avail.
Many thanks for the instruction and rooted image it works like a dream.

Dear John,
I have the same phone model as yours and did exactly the same as per your instruction that is using the rooted system.img and recovery.img in your attachment. The flashing went well. When its done, when I booted my phone it just got stuck at the initial blue android logo.. what should I do.. really need and appreciate your kind help. Please.
Hi sagaff,
I thought we only need to flash the system.img to root the phone as following johnpugazh's instruction? I only flashed the "system.img" to root the phone, and that will change the kernel version to the latest.
Did you also flash the boot.img as provided by him? Not sure if you need to flash both recovery.img together with boot.img in order to boot correctly.
Thank you.
Hi all,
I was trying out the "Setcpu" to overclock the MTK6573, but failed to do so as it is not supported by the "Setcpu".
I found another app that is supporting the overclock, it is "MTK CPU-Control Test", at original 1350mV, overclocked to 806MHz is stable, now still playing with it...please try it out and share your experience.
Thank you.

I am new to Android. Been doing much reading lately regarding the Honor and have not found a solution to root my phone or install custom ROMs. I am looking at installing MIUI ROMs.
I have a similar problem. I flashed my ROM to the latest Huawei one. Now I am unable to access pink screen, nothing from USB gets mounted. And in my Recovery Mode, I kept on having "Installation Aborted" due to "Invalid signatures". Did Huawei lock my bootloader? I do not see a "Install zip from sdcard". I only have install
I am using Build Version: V100R001C1B923SPO03. Kernel version: 3.0.8.

/edit: I should also add: Windows does not seem to be able to install the Drivers for "Huawei Technologies" and "Unknown Device". I have Googled and none seemed to point at a solution.
I am really at a loss now because I have tried many solutions and none seems to work. I can't even get rid of the useless Chinese apps and install Google Play and get some useful applications. I think I may have screwed up quite a bit, PLEASE HELP!!!
This way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28403132&postcount=799
Should be work. I had the same problem, it solved.
Please try again, then install gapps manually.
if you have any gapp that is not work well, move the APK file from DATA/APP to SYSTEM/APP folder and change the permissions of group and other to read only and then restart the device.
i'll try to search for you short movie that explain how you do it.

Thanks for replying so quickly.
I have tried your recommendation but again there's a problem. I seem to have a problem connecting to "adb server". And I do not have a custom Recovery or a rooted Andoid. The batch executable (root-me-cmd) will not run finish. It always stops at adb server.
Also, in Disk Manager, under Other Devices, there's the Android one, but it doesnt update. The computer cannot find where to download the drivers. And in Disk Manager, Android is always under Other Devices and attempts to manually on the device but it also had failed.
I am really at a loss. I am not sure how I can resolve the problems with my phone.
I thought of flashing back the original 2.3.5 GingerBread, but that requires a recovery image.
Hi,
I think you need a correct driver,
Try to install driver with this software: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=Mzk1MzA=
then run "root-me.cmd" again.
I hope you will succeed this time.

Hi kobire. Thanks for informing. I have gotten the Android USB drivers.
Good news and bad news: Using the batch script, I have rooted my Huawei Chinese build to V100R001CHNC00B923SP03. I see a Superuser app in the app drawer. To make that work, I had to install HiSuite to get the adb server settled properly.
1. I am unable to access custom recovery, i.e. "Install from zip"
2. In pink screen mode, my computer do not see any Image for recovery mounted. As a result I do not know how to install other ROMs or even roll back the ROM. I cannot progress any further. I would really like Install from zip, get back my gapps!
Attached is a screenshot of my problem in Device Manager. I have manually added them from Legacy Devices. Automatic or manual search for drivers wouldnt help much now.

My Honor /edit is confirmed be rooted though. So does that help?
/edit:
I have installed Root Explorer. I am able to navigate to the /.cust_backup folder, and have backed up the contents. I was thinking whether I could copy over the recovery image through this Root Explorer app without bricking the phone? i.e. "8. A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img"
3. Will I get a custom recovery in that case? I will not have entered pink screen mode though. Any comments?
Congratulations! You succeed to get root!
Unfortunately, in this version(B923) there is no access to change the recovery by the pink screen.
But the good news, you can manually install google account, gmail, google talk
It will work perfectly.
The only problem is google play. You must move the "com.android.vending.apk" to folder: system/app. and change the permissions of "group" and "other" in the properties to read only and then restart the device. then google play will work perfectly.
Recommended to move the other "com.google ... APK" into this folder, but it is not required.
i recommend using ES File Explorer
I have attached pictures.
I hope I helped you.
Thank you very much for your reply! Thank you also for the effort u put into uploading the pictures and posting detailed instructions on how to get Gapps working!
I have found out what is my problem. The problem lies h the phone bootloader being locked and unable to allow me access into \image folder. Thus I couldn't install CWM and Custom ROMs.
After days of trying to root my phone using the various methods shared by forumers here, I have finally rooted my phone, installed Custom Recovery, and my MIUI Custom ROM.
Would like to share the workaround. It is very simple, as pointed out by Singapore forums on the Honor. B919 (I confirm) is the only Build that allows Custom Recovery.

Hello you all.
Please need help!
On Huawei Honor u8860 ICS update i've been dealing with this very well since march when the first versions came up to me, but I don't know what i did wrong that i can not get it more updated. It Crashes when unpacking steps 1/2.
Very well, I've installed the latest chinese version B932 and i tried to root with the root tools for the B923 SP03 by mistake without turning debugging on.
Well after that i've tried to install many other versions even the gingerbread 2.3 and all of them crashes on the unpacking thing and I can not access anything on the pink screen as well and not installing GAPPS... i'm stuck with a chinese version.
Can you help me?
I appreciate!

"If" is indeed the problem, mate.
Turns out the "Root Genius" I had downloaded was a malware - good thing I had an anti-virus program to cleanse it later.
Seriously, please - if anyone knows how to root this piece of tech, reply to this thread!

Are you sure? I tried google-ing Iroot, but the first one I downloaded would repeat that there's no space on my smartphone, even after I deleted 3 GB of data.
The second one I found was malware + adware + spyware - 240+ viruses...
(luckily I have a stack of anti-virus programs)
I dont know much about this phone but does it run stock android or a custom version of Android. If it runs on stock Android , then it can be rooted using the methods for similar devices. However using a program meant for another device may harm your phone but it may be the solution to your problem at the moment.
Have you tried TowelRoot or CF-Auto Root ??
Also i dont see any point in rooting your device.. There is no Custom ROM available neither any kernel related tweaks or benefits you will get. If the default stock kernel does not support overclocking(which it probably doesn't) then you cant even get those benefits.
The only thing you could do is apply tweaks using PimpMyROM or Xposed Framework .
Do try TowelRoot for your device and report if it works.
PLEASE PRESS THANKS if i Helped you in any way.

I know there aren't - I am pretty much looking into changing my app installation place to my SD card, but, sadly, I tried the normal non-root method (via CMD) - it still continues to install them inside the internal section, AND - for some reason, now Google updates got blocked - I have 3.3 GB free in my internal space & 6 GB - in the SD card, yet it denies to do a 30 MB update.
If anything, I'm least interested into upgrading my ROM right now - maybe later, but I really wanna root my phone, since I already found the joy of it form my rooted tablet.
EDIT:
So, I decided to revert the non-root App-installation location to the normal (0)
Now Google started actualizing itself successfully... maybe I'll try the first iRoot pack I downloaded once again?
Edit: Downloaded the Mgyun iRoot, but... I don't understand chinese. Help?
Another Edit:
tried it - nothing ( judging by the pictures ).
I used the latest version - 2.1.6...
I don't really wanna risk with roots for other phones that aren't designed for mine, because, like it was stated - it may harm my phone.
Trying anryl's way.
ANOTHER edit:
Worked, but now I'm stuck with a chinese SU - anyone know how to change language?
Also, looks like whatever it "rooted", doesn't count as SuperSU
I really needed SuperSU & Lucky Patcher...
Guess there isn't any way to unroot this chinese root?
Has anyone tried DingDong Root?
Also, is there any way to insert APP2SD function to Lenovo a606 (if it's possible with rooting, maybe?)
I just really want to move my apps & data to my SD card, because they're taking a lot of space.
There is everything in my files just gonna make guide later in English . I have from this Chinese root to normal SuperSU .
Edit:
Chinese right button is yes
After Iroot from my zip start

In phone agree right button then in command prompt type

Android 5.0 Lollipop for Lenovo A606
Any possibility of installing 5.0 Lollipop on Lenovo A606 after root? How to Install CWM after root?
But I do have it rooted with iRoot?
Will try to Re-root it.
Also, yes - I think you can install an Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM onto a rooted Lenovo.
Edit: For some reason, iRoot decided my A606 is an A60 - I rooted it still, but I don't know if it will work.
I'm using the "lenovo_a606_s035 root by anryl.zip" download.
EDIT: It doesn't work.
Edit: So, I decided to try something else:
After I did "adb shell", I did "Cd /sdcard/mrw/", and I did "su" - it then activated SU, but I didn't get any notification on my smartphone to agree or so (only some chinese sign)
Edit: changed my language, it says " shell has been granted " (Since I made it to always give shell permissions)
Right now I'm at line "[email protected]:/mnt/shell/emulated/0/mrw #"
From here, I type "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh"
Then everything just sinks.
The first message from the fail I get is
"rm failed for /system/bin/su, Read-only file system"
Afterwards, the message pretty much repeats with the other files, only that instead the error being "read-only file system", it is "no such file or directory"
Another type of error is "unable to chown" and "unable to chmod"
And after all these errors pass, a java process starts
The whole error problem ends with "Killed"
And just returns me back to my PC directory.
Meanwhile, my A606 just resets.
And from all of those problem, nothing gets installed - not even Busybox.
Do u have the update s035 installed ?
I did I root on s035 system u still don't have root try with total commander or root checker if root is working . install superuser and grant permission .
In adb after su u have to grant it on the device.

However, this version is not pre-rooted, it is the latest release as of now (rel. date 2016-07-19).
To update:
Extract the 3 files (update.zip, factory_update_param.aml & recovery.img) to the SD Card
start the "update / backup" app on your box
select the update.zip and confirm
box will restart and install the new firmware
other version pre-rooted?

All releases so far are not rooted. You can gain root access via ADB though.
I used adbLink to open the shell & "mount -o remount,rw /system".
Deleted the bootanimation and other things to test if it actually works... it does.
Editing the build.prop is also possible (ro.adb.secure=0, ro.secure=0, for example).
I tried to install my own version of TWRP 3.x, the command was successful ("dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p6") but it didn't stick and the stock recovery was still active.
Since it's Marshmallow, I wasn't able to manually recreate the systemless root method.
I'm not going to try further for now, waiting if they will release an update, etc.
Bingo,
Can you make a root installer for this device or do we need chainfire to make a new SuperSU? I have 50 units that I need to root but can't find an installer. I need it for Titanium Backup to restore my custom setup.

I'm looking into it, but with my limited knowledge, most approaches seem to be a dead end due to Marshmallow. (It's also my first box ever bought in general...)
I already have my custom TWRP img ready, but it doesn't stick when I flash it.
ADB says it was "dd" successfully but rebooting straight to recovery brings up the stock recovery.
I hope someone beats me to it. ^^
I also wrote an inquiry, asking for an IMG file, so I can use with the customization tool... I don't think they have one ready yet...
And those twats sitting on the source files and can't poop out an alternative variant of the firmware with root? Beetch please.
AFAIK, all boxes with Android 6 are in this state (looked at some other firmwares).
The old tricks from Lollipop don't work here anymore, like booting a custom recovery.img from SD, etc.
edit: can't mount "sbin" as RW (ofc. knowing where it's coming from)
edit: tried an old signed ZIP (root update for Android 4.x) via stock recovery: it went through, verified... I'm afraid this won't work with a custom ZIP trying to recreate latest SuperSU install method...

SuperSU would work "ootb" but the stock firmware has no 'unzip' in 'sbin', so the original script will fail.
And since we don't have a custom recovery that can support 'unzip'. that's another dead end.
I tried flashing 3 different versions of my custom recovery zip (with diff. timestamp, etc).
They all went through without error but the device isn't even bothered, still brings up the stock recovery.
I also modified the original update.zip that contains the whole firmware with all partitions and just replaced the recovery.
Signed it, flashed it, no error, reboot... yup, stock recovery is still there. ^^
edit: small progress, I can now update the recovery... as proof I changed the "error pic" with the little droid and wrote something nice on it ^^

Awesome Bingo Bronson! At least it's a start. Now if only we could get TWRP working on these... I've tried all the S905 TWRP img files available but no joy yet, at least not booting from microSD card. Android 6.0 Marshmallow has been rooted on several smart phones; can we learn something from those methods and maybe hack together a working root?

SDK 23 devices do things slightly different, yes, but the main reason for the old images not working is (ofc. ^^) the ramdisk cpio and the small but important differences in the hardware (boards) and the according references in the files.
I'm going through the ramdisk cpio piece by piece as we speak, takes "a while" for users like me...
Let's hope it will at least boot with an error and not just flicker and remain on the "Google TV" bootloader screen.
I'm editing the stock recovery from 2016-07-28 (language fix update).
If I fail numerous times, I will get on my knees and send Abdul the files and some monayyy. ?
edit: calling it a day... will continue tomorrow afternoon (GMT+1 ^^)
So basically if someone can get TWRP to boot on these then root should be fairly easy? I guess the only road block after that would be getting sbin mounted rw so we can install the SuperSU binary.

I've used systemless root on a number of 6.0.1 devices... Qualcomm, MTK... based one the arch. this one should work just as well.
'sbin' is part of the ramdisk, so it's always 'ro' (hence: "knowing where it's coming from" ^^) so no need to try to force anything here.
Btw. that was the default 'sbin' from the stock system, the 'sbin' from a custom recovery has all the goodies on board.
Ramdisk: applying the changes necessary for TWRP is not that difficult, just need to finish the matching ramdisk cpio...
That being said, I haven't gotten anything done since my last post which is annoying... had to work on "non Android" related things.
Currently rechecking the blocks & partition table, so everything can be mounted properly (given it boots up ^^).
Any updates?
Eager to get this.

If you want to try, your updater-script can look like this:
Code:

I had the fstab files edited with the info from the block & partitions report but no success so far.
( I avoided porting / using old files from TV boxes running Android L based firmwares...)

Hi,
I contacted gearbest to root my TV box and they sent me a link from Baidu. I tried to download it but I can't because it want a Chinese number to register. Somebody can download and upload on mega or something else the Rom? Thanks

Just download Kingroot or Kingoroot . One of the two will root it . And if successful try get supersume so you can get rid of the bloat they install and install SuperSU

Can you run CPUZ and post your specifications so I can find a method or possibly test certain methods if I have it .
My Mini M8S II doesn't go past logo screen after using Kongo Root (Windows edition) over ADB internet.

If anyone here has the skills to root this box and can prove it, I will donate one and pay for shipping if you're within Canada/USA. I'm looking for a zip file based root that can be applied from a flash drive or SD card (ezroot style).

I am fairly certain I can put together something for you. I have a pretty good history with android, custom ROMS, blahblahblah. I have a Android box from Tops with the S905 in it and rooted mine manually from my laptop. I don't have this particular model but they can't be that different. What version of Android is this running?
Android 6.0,
ARM64
Kingo Root, KingROOT (APK's) don't work.
Kingo Root (Windows) bricked my M8S II ): .

[Help] rooting Cube iWork10 Ultimate 64GB Dual OS (i15-TFL)

Hi,
Recently i purchased Cube iWork10 Ultimate 64GB Intel Atom x5 Z8300 Quad Core 10.1 Inch Dual OS Tablet and something wrong went with android side, I am not able to use it so i search for official firmware and did not find. I found firmware for tablet SN number start as i15TC,i15TD and i15T.
http://www.cube-tablet.com/download
http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownList.asp?SortID=7
I installed following img on my device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-stock-cube-iwork-10-flagship-i15-t-t3372281
Camera did not work at all. Second problem i can not change Auto rotate when i want (with game work like it should).
I resize partition by using Phone Flash Tool and X98 serie GPT file
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=725568
https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/resize-android-partition-the-easy-way-for-x98-serie/
I contact resller (banggood) to provide me official firmware and unfortunately they ignore my email. Then I create new topic in thier site to ask about firmware and got link for firmware but i think i need password in order to download firmware. Here is my topic
http://forum.banggood.com/forum-topic-307419.html
Then i went to http://www.51cube.com/ to check if there is any email to contact them about firmware and i sent couple emails to most of them and unfortunately they ignore my email. I resent the same email and got answer from Eddy with official firmware ( i told Eddy that reseller ignore my email then he provided me link for official firmware).

Anyone have idea how to root firmware for i15-TFL?
I think the correct place for my thread is to put it in xda-developers iwork-10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/iwork-10
but i am not able to do that because rules of this forum (to prevent spam, you must have a higher post count in order to make a new thread in this development section.�But feel free to make new thread in the non-development sections like General, Q&A, etc. Thanks for your understanding! )
Thanks in advance
Hello, I`ve met the same problem with same device with unknown revision serial "i15TFL": I`d flashed TWRP and Android stop starting proper.
Have you managed to restore the original Android on your device? Please give me instruction how to do this, and, if you could, post firmware files to Google Drive (Baidoo cloud speed really low).

I resize partitions and restore the original firmware on my device by using Phone Flash Tool 5.3.4.1 and X98 serie GPT file ( i have chosen gpt_20g_org)& TWRP Boot.
In the android firmware, replace the file gpt.bin
On the computer, install and run the Intel Phone Flash Tool . Click Browse ... , select the flash.json file, in the Configuration: field , set the recover option .
We translate the tablet into DNX FASTBOOT MODE , for this, on the off tablet simultaneously press and hold the On and both volume buttons . USB-cable connect it to the computer, make sure that the program saw it and click Start to flash
The first launch will take a lot of time, be patient
Then i installed window.
Everything worked like it should but without root
I can upload firmware to Google Drive but can not post link coz (To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!)
All data will be deleted. Everything you do, you do at your own risk.

Thank you wery much. I am even managed to get working Remix OS and Rooted stock Android (I don`t test it, but it should work) images.
How to install:
1. Download this firmware and flash via Intel Platform Flash Tool.
2. Put Rooted stock Android or Remix OS zip into internal memory or sd card.
3. Make sure you had activated "Enable OEM Unlock" in Android Developer`s menu.
4. Boot into recovery (choose android boot then hold Volume Down, in appeared menu choose recovery, device will reboot, then again choose android.. welcome to TWRP).
5. Install zip via TWRP.
Notice: Never never ever upgrade SuperSU APK. After upgrade it`s unable to update binary and stop functioning at all.
Notice: At RemixOS cameras does not work at all.

Np. Thank you for sharing your experience. I knew this method and its for re install android firmware but still have 2 problems I have mentioned it(check out first post) Camera did not work at all. Second problem you can not change Auto rotate when you want (with game work like it should). Also there is video showing how to install RemixOS in our devices, search in youtube ([SL] 043 Cube Iwork 10 Ultimate: How to flash ROM + root + MIUI + play.google + 512mb videocard - YouTube). You can follow the same step to install different img. I tried 6 different img and all of them have the same problem with auto rotate and camera. I resized partions coz android side have just 8 GB and its not enough for my games.
all imgs which i found and img which you provided not for i15-TFL . Its for iWork10_V1 and i15-T
But at rooted android image everything ok with camera and autorotation, after 1 day of RemixOS usage I decided it's better for me to return to stock os, but I also need root permissions. So, my experience is successful, everything still unresolved is sd card unmount during device sleep. But I detected it even on stock image.

For me with rooted android img camera & auto rotation. I had problem with sd card mount and unmount and i fixed it by uninstall supersu and install just busybox. Then i decided to resized partions ( 20 GB for android and rest for win) and i used sd in win side to install program&game. To do that search in youtube (Install any Windows programs or applications on microsd card Tech Guy Charlie).
Hello thank you for your Help.
The Root is there and the auto rototion is working.
But i have one problem there, the canera is not working after installing the rom via TWRP.
Is it a bug?

Do either @Mathias31 or @nm101 have links to the firmware and ROMs which you used to resolve the rotation and camera issues you experienced? I tried the previous links and it looks like they have expired....

Did you get your camera to work? My rotation and camera are not working...
OEM Win10 and Android both (GDrive)
I'd uploaded this one year ago at 4pda (russian forum), but totally forget about this thread.
Also, as I noticed, camera and rotation sensor works right on original firmware only.
