Hi guys,
Last night I managed to get my lumia 800 developer unlocked through Microsoft's website and Dreamspark as I am a student however after spending an hour or so downloading the SDK and installing it I found that I need root for most homebrew applications.
I've looked through a lot of threads and found that I have the Nokia DLOAD bootloader, however most of the threads are old.
My questions are; How do I go about getting root access to my phone?
and 2: What are my options?
Thanks for your replies!
I do not think there is anything that can be done at this point, unless you have the qualcomm bootloader. I am in the same situation.
Nope, you have to first gain interop-unlock. What kind of homebrew apps do you need anyway? The basic ones like screencapture and marketplace changer are enough for dev-unlock, just check with the developer or read the info.

How did you manage to get marketplace config to work without root access?

I was hoping to get ringtone2sms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634842) working. Haven't had a chance to check out many more homebrew apps so far.

posible but if you want to flash custom roms it might require the latest android version.

no need to SIM-unlock it. you can root with sim locked phones. but again there are problems if you want to install custom roms.
btw, welcome to the android world and minis planet.
Adb (Android Debugging Bridge) is the way that your phone communicates with your pc. It is one of the programs included in the android sdk(software development kit if i am not mistaken). Many script that devs write rely on this program to communicate with your device. This program uses the debugging option to communicate with the pc.

Hello,
I'm with this machine the tablet DENVER TAC-10011.
the answer is: in this tablet i can install another rom?
Thanks
hello
Hi
I have no doubt you could not try install custom rom. I own exact same device and I'm just letting you know I've haven't tried yet but I've done some search about roms but I didn't yet encounter with something made for TAC 10011 so I suggest you look for ics 4.0.4 made custom rom what works on most tablets/phones. Also if you download root checker from google play and run the test you have already root acces or the files because I ran the test and it proved it also I figured it out earlyer that I could run some root apps so you don't need to look for root because you already have it.

Sorry that I've didn't answer earlier I had to do some things and reset some stuff but I've done some research and I've was partly wrong about few things first about the root it seems that system tells TAC 10011 has root but still no. This can be littl weird I just found that some root apps actually don't require root but still can run it on partly, I don't think you will not find custom rom but I'm not sure about if you go ahead and flash a rom what is incompatible and possibly bootloop whole tablet so I'm not recomending it. Just I've not done it once I've learned more a bit you could do still one thing. Since this is developer site witch im not heh still you could ask other developer make a rom for TAC-10011 posting new threat some options...

hello,
Develop a rom for this TAC-10011 would be a great idea. in this case would be an ICS rom but faster (...) I do not understand is nothing to build a rom ... lol
But hey, after some research I saw that the machines AllWinner, B-PAD, and BoxChip have the characteristics very similar.
Best Regards

There may not be a root option for that device. This is something you ha e to learn to live with when buying devices like this.
Why is the device is too tough to hack it or what...
Ok another question... How to unlock bootloader on this device is any one have any idea about it???!!!!

One of the biggest reasons is that almost no one gets those devices. Developers tend to lead to more well known brands of devices.
As for the bootloader. I have no idea. I would ask the OEM if there is a bootloader unlock. Most likely there isnt but couldnt hurt to ask. Also I would check on the kernel source code as well but I wouldnt hold my breath there either.

-Huawei Emotion UI 3.1 Lite (ver TAG-AL00C92B128)
-Already rooted by KingRoot
- Bootloader Unlocked.
I'll appreciate your help.

Have any of you guys found a reliable way to do this yet? Most of the links or guides I've seen on this so far seem a little be hand wavey in one way or another.
Also, you used kingo root to root it? It wouldn't work when I downloaded the apk, did you have to download it to your desktop?

Did you get it to work with google play? WHat ROM did you use, I'm unsure if I should use the GR3 (model TAG-L--) or the TIT-AL00 ROM.

Did you manage to get it working with google services?
I'm guessing the guys in this thread have either sorted the problem or no longer need the solution. However, if anyone else is in the same position, I'm just updating to let you know that I (with a lot of help from a friend) have got google play services installed and working on my phone. We used a combination of this thread which is the same process, but the device here is slightly different (TIT, not TAG) and therefore the CWM recovery file never worked on my phone. So using this thread, we were able to find the download TWRP instead (it links to another thread where you can download TWRP).
The entire process if fairly simple.
The hardest part for me was getting the bootloader code. I needed to contact Huawei consumer services (one of the European offices) and explain I needed the code. They told me I needed to contact the Chinese consumer services as that's where I bought the phone, they spoken very little English so it went nowhere fast. I contacted the same European office again and explained I cannot get the code via typing my info into the unlocker webpage, nor through the Chinese office. So they managed to get back to me after a day or so with the code (I needed to send a screenshot of the unlocker page failing to give me the code, along with the other phone info the unlocker page asks for).
Once you have that, just follow the guide for the TIT-AL00 (but with the TWRP recovery linked above). You don't need to root the device if you just want GAPPs. I have the device working with all the google apps etc, and didn't need root access.

Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?
I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I did read somewhere (on XDA) that someone rooted the XP7 with kingoRoot, but....that's all I've found.

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.
any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone
Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work
I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.
