JXD P1000 (previous P700). Can I root it? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have bought a JXD P1000 by eBay.
It works perfectly, but I can't associate my gmail account and no I have not access to the official google play.
I have read that I can solve it changing some parameters in ES Explorer (r-r-r), but I can do it ONLY if my device is root.
Is there any way to root it? does anyone have this device?
Thanks for any help.

I just purchased the jxd p1000 too. If i have this problem too i would like to know as well.

Hey how is the device? How is the wifi speeds? I had a lesser known brand that over all worked pretty good but the wifi speeds were horrible. Download speeds capped at around .25 mbps! Not even close to 1mbps. Uploads were about double that. I hope its not the same with this one. Do you use a sim card on it?

Thanks

stay away until further notice
I have the same issues apparently it is an issue with google's not being allowed in china. I have to say that although this device choice was done with great evaluation after seeing all the specification i quite fell in love with the item. so i called the sellers including pandawill, umitablets and another web seller which escape me at the time of this writings. And being from the US i Specifically asked would google would be implemented and i was told google play was already pre-configured and that is where i was sold and also where i was suckered. so let me tell you having bought the bloody thing i sought help first with the nearby stores and as soon as i mentionned the device and where it was purchased .... I got sorry but you know it's the chinese so i decided let me go to the nearest chinese community and i specifically said chinese simplified Han to be exact and you wouldn't believe what came out of their mouth .... CHINESE Sooorrryy ... I ssmmmhhh and said about finding my own solutions after all how hard it would be ... wowowowo little did I know when they say google play store they are misleading you their version of google play is the old android market ... so not being a quitter i decided research would help me get to the bottom of this so i webly disected the phone the IC manufacturer Mediatek .... No SuPPort the devices on google listed devices that being read the closest match to my device are phone lenovo P700 and A2105, A2107 and A2109 and off all these am not sure cause LEnovo won't support it as well so one look at google also states that they do not support it so the only way i see me get it around it is by changing the internal files so that the phone or google thinks that i'm one of the approved listed device funnily enough i can get apps off amazon and it recognizes it as Android JXD P1000 and Yantex as well but you need to stop speaking chinese and go into russian. Btw another issue you will have is getting the drivers that would allow you to work with your PC. I did find it but now I am scared to root cause i don't know how to do it and afraid to have a 200 dollar brick. So lesson learned i give myself less than 3 months to get it straight otherwise i will leave with its shortcomings but i will definitely champion never EVER EVER buy chinese devices cause #1 misleading #2 support non-existing #3 not worth its weight especially when their own countrymen is telling me sorry its chinese ... that is when i totally felt like an idiot ... so unless you hear me fix that issue please stay away from that device cause until they fix my issues i will warn everyone to stay far from it. I will eventually place all our correspondance on a website sometime real soon .... ttyl if you need to interact it i can get you the drivers for your pc what the hell we are in the same boat ... but anything else still looking ... it's not right goddamn misleading ....

Do not worry, we have a solution!!
Finally I entered the JXD website and I downloaded the latest firmware for the device.
Inside the file are the instructions to update the tablet and drivers to connect to the pc, but I did not work for me these drivers, so I had to look for other drivers on the Internet (I have no permissions to paste links, I have very few messages in this forum)
I hope this can help you. At least my JXD P1000 is already running at 100% with all Google applications.
Good luck!!

I just followed the steps in the downloaded file (word document). It's very simple. Sure is better explained that if I try to explain, because my English is not good and it is possible that I confuse someone.
Only one possible problem ... If your pc does not detect the tablet with the drivers provided by JXD, then as I said, you have to look on the internet: Simply search on google "mt65xx android phone drivers"

I also have bought a JXD P1000 in Vietnam. It looks working almost perferctly except GPS.
Problem I had in using GPS is, the satellites are caught but the present location won't be fixed forever.
So google map doesn't show exactly where I am, and it's useless at this moment.
I found similar problems in tablets using MTK6877(?) posted in other bbs. MTK6877 is said to be a brother cpu to this MTK8377.
The solution introduced in that BBS was to put a file named GPS.prop(?) into under /system folder. But it needs root.
So, what I want to say is, are there anybody facing a similar GPS problem?
Or other help or suggestions are appreciated.

I just recieved mine and so far i like it. My gps wasnt working but i got it to work. My only problem right now is the wifi. Anybody having problems with the wifi with the tablet is in sleep mode. I changed the setting to always stay on but it keep breaking. The symbol is on but no internet connection is going through until i turn off wifi and turn it back on. So far i notice it when i leave it alone for a while, not instantly. I havent done the update yet and hopefully that fixes this problem but if it doesn't, anybody has any ideas. Im also trying a wifi lock app but doesnt seem to be working.

As for me, I didn't realize that wifi problem with JXD. It might be because of using power saving apps.
And how did you get the gps to work?

Well i havent downloaded any power saving apps. Well now the gps is spotty. It was working fine for a while but suddenly stopped. I used the gps status and tools app (i think thats how it is called). Also messed with the native gps settings. The wifi problem im having also happens when im using it as well. So basically at any moment it can happen. Very annoying.

GPS never worked i still can't access the up grades
I have had for 2 months no GPS can't get to upgrade now cause i get this message
BROM Errors : S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013)
[COM] Failed to open COM 3
[HINT]:
Possible reason:1. If you use UART1 to download DA, please make sure that you have selected the correct UART1 COM port first!2. USB driver is abnormal, please restore them, and then try again.
wifi is non-issue only problem in general the tech support are the following
UMITABLETS: once sold they don't care
MEDIATEK: they are not the reseller THEY DON"T CARE LOLOLOOLOO
JXD: sent an email while i was just trying to get the right driver for mediatek welll they never answered me so it adds up as THEY DON"T CARE
i don't know if anyone is getting the jist they sold ir i feel like a sucker and THEY DON"T CARE
so my advice and i will blog it especially sine my patience is running thin i will blog about it and advise people not to buy from or their product

I got the upgrade done yesterday. What i did is first connect the tablet to the computer, for the first time, and have it automatically install the drivers, once successful, i chose to install the ones provided in the upgrade file in the jxd website. I got an error saying it wasnt installed proerly on one of them but when i reconnected the tab it connected fine. So i decided to go on with the upgrade process from the word doc in the zip file. Pretty simple like the other person said on this thread, though i did try like 2-3 times before it began. Once it started was smooth sailing. The upgrade made the tab better. Gapps work fine, except i cant install google shopper for some reason. Everything else is pretty stock android with all the google services working. I have yet to see if the upgrade restores gps, so when i do test it out pretty well they ill give my results.
Update on my wifi problem: it seems it is only happening on my portable hotspot only. While on my home wifi it is solid good. When im out and about, it keeps disconnecting from my personal hotspot. Any ideas why that would be?

JXD P1000 - Purchased from Pandawill.com
Hello!
I am having same issues with Google Play, can't sync with or install Gmail. I was able to load the .apk file for Google Play but it fails to launch. Google maps and navigation will not work, and device is unable to determine my location. I was able to find .apk files on the net for Mozilla and Facebook and have those working, but I really need access to Google Play Store.
I was able to download the PC drivers from the JXD website, and now my Windows 7 PC will detect the device.
I tried to update the firmware from the JXD site but says that one of the files is not compatible.
Customer service at Pandawill is unable to resolve the situation and will not authorize a refund.
Is there a way to root this device or install any Google apps?
Mant thanks!

I cant say why it is not happening right but for you but i can briefly say what i did. I started by downloading the upgrade from the website. I then connected the tablet to the computer and let the system automatically install the drivers. After the sucessful notice i extracted the zip file i downloaded off the website. I installed the drivers from the file. Both driver folders. Both of them had an error after installing them but windows asked if i wanted to reinstall them (or fix the install) using there recommended method. I chose yes for both. Let it finish and whatever the result i closed it and continued ( dont remember if it came out ok or an error again). With all the errors in the beginning of installing the drivers in the folders i check to see if the computer would still recognize the device and surely it still did. Now i went in follow the instruction from the word document in upgrade section. One thing you will have to do i extract another file from within the folders. Its the same on that the instructions says to chose in the program, one of the first steps. Look for it and extract it or else you wont be able to choose it in the program itself. I had problems in the step where you had to turn off the device and connect the device to the computer via usb so the program can detect it. It didnt ork the first time, nor the second time when i disconnectednitnand reconnected it. i closed the program and restarted it. This time it detected it and i just continued as the instructions said. All came out fine with all of Google's services working including play store. Its full fledged tablet now and better then when i first recieved it.
I was having trouble with wifi connection ( internet connection) not sticking with my hotspot only but i think i got a way for it to work. I read that some tablets have similar problems. They were able to fix it by using a static ip instead of the dynamic one. I tried different ones until i found one that stuck. Now it stays connected all day. Its still under testing to see if it is a complete solution or temp fix. Though im liking the results. You with have to check the router settings to see the range of ip's it uses and just chose different one from in there. Thats the only thing i changed. Hope any of this helps as of right now there is no known root method's.

I purchased an AT&T sim card from Straight Talk to use with the JXD P1000. I am able to make phone calls and send/receive text messages, however, the data is extremely slow. Looks like I am only getting 2G speeds as the indicator light shows "E" for Edge.
Does anyone know of any settings to speed up the data? The device works great when connected to Wi-Fi, but I was hoping to use the sim card for data when Wi-Fi is not available.
Many Thanks!
