I have an Ematic EM63 that froze on me one day and now refuses to boot. I've tried to factory reset but it also just freezes and never completes. Can anyone help me with getting this tablet usable again? I wonder if reflashing the stock rom would work but of course I never backed up the tablet and can't find a stock rom image anywhere on the internet.

You may have to check the user manual (p.33) or contact the company directly. Other than that, I don't see much support for this tablet.
The customer support for this company is terrible. I called and explained that I'm unable to factory reset and all they did was send me an email explaining how to. If I could somehow find the stock rom for this tablet I think I might be able to fix it that way. Problem is that since it's not a popular tablet I can't seem to find one anywhere on the internet. If anyone has this tablet and could send me the stock rom for it that would be great.
I've had problems with the tablet ever since I purchased it. I warn anyone thinking about buying this tablet or any products from this company to stay clear.

Unfortunately, that's the problem with buying generic tablets, there's often little to no support. The benefit of buying brand name tablets is that the opposite is true. Of course you have to pay a bit more but it's worth it in the long run.
K1 Ideapad Lenovo - Khanning ROMS
I did something stupid. I made an assumption that things were as I remember them... It's been years since installing multiple partitions with different OS on a machine and I've forgotten almost everything I know and times have changed.
I purchased a used K1 with honeycomb and had hoped to install ICS with google play services/store. Simply wanted a device to surf and play a few games.
Installed ICS, flashing it without problem and thinking I would simply install GPS afterwards... that didn't happen.
After some research found that khanning88 had made a ROM ready to go. Thinking the end result was within my grasp, low and behold the ROM is no longer available and I have searched relentlessly for almost a week now, torrent sites, Russian forums, anywhere to try and find the ROM. I'm thinking it may no longer be out there and I am back to square one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1564002
I'm not sure where to proceed, if someone would know of a repository where this file might be found or should I start learning how to integrate GPS into my own ROM similar to what Khanning88 had already accomplished.
Thank you,

Hi I'm fairly new to the rooting scene but i have rooted a Samsung device in the past and installed cyanogen.
I have done a lot of searching online and on XDA Forums. I cant find much info about rooting this tablet. It comes from Argos in Ireland and the UK. I think it is fairly new and it is inexpensive. From searching on here actually, i gather the Argos Bush tablets are rebranded Archos tablets. a google search will come up with oneclickroot but they dont support this device.
I had been directed to ask for help here by a Recognised Contributor in XDA Assist forum
its running android 5.0.1.
Is there any other info you need?
Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

The reason i want to root is that it looks like i got some malware. BroService and Linervice.
They can be uninstalled but reinstall themselves fairly quickly. AVG recognises BroService as harmful and promts to uninstall but thinks the other one is safe. When installed they serve pop up adds that sit on the right hand bottom corner.
They arent on the tablet after a factory reset but they do arrive again eventually. I had been very careful whith what apps i installed since i noticed them and tried the factory reset to get rid.
A friend has the same tablet and he has them to. I know 2 others with the smaller 8" version and they also have them so im thinking it comes on the tablet. The strange thing is none of us had it at first, it only showed up later. For me i had 3 weeks without them the first time, last time maybe a week and this time they are not back yet since the factory reset a few days ago.
Hi did you ever get this sorted out? I have an archos tablet and it came with the same malware.
I cannot even find any information on this device let alone a root method. Apparently from my searches methods for the zenphone may work but im not sure if I want to risk bricking this device, but verizon would just replace it anyway. I guess its fairly new? It came with MM and already has an OTA which i keep putting off while I am going to try out various methods to get this one rooted and unleashed since one verizon store essentially scammed me over my new s7 edge so another store refunded everything for me. Now I got this 4g tablet I want to fasten in my car and it would be nice to root or unlock and put some custom vehicle firmware on it or something like that.
I have the same issue with my new Zenpad 3 8.0 . KingRoot and some other rooting apps didn't work for me.
At least someone finally replies.... I am still stuck trying to root this thing. I've tried nearly everything to no success. Even the temporary cwm wouldn't work for me
Same here buddy. Why did ASUS remove such features as App to SD and multi user support?
Anyone found anything? I have the tablet too...
Well damn this sux, Verizon stuck me with another unrootable device, at least I can say I got my pixel in time to unlock the bootloader and route it but not much activity for it since decided to lock them down. I thought I learned with my G4 that's why I got the pixel got home just to find out they're going to be locked down too lol Oh God how I loath Verizon

I hear ya. I have this tablet too: Asus Verizon Zenpad Z8 ZT581KL with V.3.4.23. Despite my best efforts, the damn system update notification keeps coming up telling me to update to Android 7--which I DO NOT want to do since doing that very well could kill any small hope I have on rooting the device. Since this is a Verizon branded tablet, they made an agreement with Asus to lock it down like Gitmo, so any official bootloader unlocker will not work with Verizon. Maybe one day when Verizon get's their head out of their ass and understands that people have the right to screw with their phones, they will allow unlocking options--though I doubt it.
This would be a great little tablet, if Verizon gave us more control over it--Jesus Christ, you're still getting $$ from me on your non-unlimited data. Bunch of ****-tards---I used to work for them back in the day at one of their corporate locations in Folsom, CA. Sadly, I think it's that prison mentality (Folsom Prison) that must have been carried in the air a few miles to the Verizon offices there. That was WDTS (Wireless Data Tech Support)....I was there right when EVDO just came out/expanding (Before Iphones...closest thing would have been a BES-Enabled Blackberry, or a fancy PDA)--oh those were the days...
There are rooting options available if you understand Chinese--but even its for older software versions 3.3.x, etc, and from what I can understand, the flash might actually take (hackers take note: if the flash can take..maybe we can piece together a flash with proper rooted versions)...but since this is a Sim/LTE tablet by doing that it will screw up the radio (Cellular) and recovery partitions. But maybe something round-about could be done that does that, then reflashes modified signed firmware to root it--I dunno.
My google-fu is pretty good and I came across some cached, or snippet that said SRSroot might root 6.0.1 on the ZT581KL, but not sure now legit it is.
Unless more people get this tablet/devs play with it, I don't think we will get root/bootloader/recovery anytime soon. I wish I lived in a country that allowed multiple wifes, because I would do a bounty for root on this devices and give away one of my wives for payment.
I used the tablet mostly for navigation, but I want root/twrp for backup purposes, if I need to wipe the device crossing the border since police now wanting to look at peoples phones/tablets. I love using Waze since I'll be driving down the road with a FAT blunt smoking away, so it's good to know if cops are around.
Zenpad z8 running on Fi
I also have this pad. I bought it from Verizon because it's USB-C and I loathe micro USB and even more so because the helpful sales guy at Verizon let me try my Google Fi data only sim...and sure enough it works awesome after setting h2g2 as the apn. Would love to root it though I hate how I can only have one user account on this for now.
Kind of off-topic, but I can't find any clear answer to my question about the Z8 and Z8s. I'm considering buying one, but I do not want a data-plan. Do these tablets work without a SIM in them, or will I be stuck at a home screen that says "Insert SIM..."?

Of course you can use it without a SIM.
I just ordered this tablet. I'm sad I can't root it, but I mainly use root for adblocking. I will have to use DNS66 or BlockThis instead.
This method doesn't work?

Zenpad P008 Verizon root - no luck
I just tried One Click Root and that didn't work either. Upon chatting with support they were stymied by the lack of an 'OEM Override' debug mode setting.
Can anybody help, I'm new at this stuff. Plus I'm teaching myself. I've rooted some devices. Did some firmware jobs, kinda' familiar with Odin. But I've tried everything from KingRoot PC to adb tryna' root this thing (P008). Between this thing and that Knox MDM shizzle. Man!, Anybody got anything on these topics......
Anyone try Magisk?? I also want to root this thing. Cannot get a usb gaming controller to recognize either.
Okay so I forget I had my old v60 in the back of a drawer and I guess there is no ROM love for it., seems there never was. Would love to at least root my TMO since I own many a good programs for rooted phones but sadly no longer have one. I loved rooted phones for backing up software, as well as deciding network access with my old ROM Toolkit and such. This was a decent phone with 5G and would be the one I'd sadly risk a potential brick since it's way out of warranty and such but can't find any rooting instructions anywhere. The about phone says the SW TMO has on this is V600TM20M running what looks like android 11. Is there a way to root this old dog or not now? Just wondering as each time it boots TMO tries to install FACEBOOK (BOOO I don't like that social app) Amazon shopping and a bunch of bloatware I have to keep deleting. Really want to slim it down and take control of the it again.
Side-load Magisk, It's an open-source rooting app. I have it and I like it.
