So I bought this quirky tablet not realizing how quirky it really is. Problem is that no one seems to even own of the Gardner GoTab 6 Inch, much less heard of it. Googled gotab root guides and pretty much got nothing. Googled 4.0.4 guides, xda question came up and the guy was told to check the firmware version in settings and I don't have firmware info displayed. Its a sucky tablet much like I expected but I've bought plenty o apps on the playstore requiring root. From basically a few performance boosters and other system edits.
I know a gotab specific root guide is out of the question, however I'm hoping someone here has an appropriate guide suggestion for generic 4.0.4.
Here is the info in my about settings exacta:
Model Number: GOTAB
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: 1.5realse
Build Number: GOTAB-GBT6-20121127
Kernal Version: 3.0.8+

Donot know if that info is useful. >.o
Anyone in this timezone have suggestions?
I recently discovered I can get to the recovery mode from my settings
I know someone knows... its just a matter of being on the front 2 pages at the same time they're browsing.
Anyways recov menu says its system recovery <3e> if that helps.
Has option to update from external storage, wipe data and cache, and apply update from cache.
How did you get into recovery on the device - Vol + or - with power doesnt help
This method is working fine for the spanish clone :

Rooting
Ii acquired a GoTab Lite GBt9 from a friend who hated it. I was able to root it with Kingo Root. Just download onto your PC, connect your deice via USB and click ROOT AGAIN.
Other apks are required to check root and grant SuperUser premissions
Super User
Root Checker
ES Task manager
ES File Explorer
BusyBox
etc
I hope this helps someone
Hi all,
Let me first thank you for the wonderful website that you've created here, it already really helped me out.
Now, I want to root my fake Galaxy S4. I know the pain of people who ask questions without trying to look around for a solution themself. Yet, after a few full days, starting without any knowledge of smartphones, working my way trough all the terminology and trying to root my device... the only thing I know left to do is asking for your help. I sincerely hope this is 1) the right place 2) I'm allowed to ask this here and 3) there is not already a simliar topic... If I still failed then feel free to redirect me, move me, etc.
I bought the following device:
Hardware : MT6575 (SAMSUNG is aFake!)
Model : GT-I9500
Build number : JDQ39.I9500ZHUAMDE
Build date UTC : 20130606-103654
Android v : 4.2.2
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V37, 2013/05/06 11:21
Kernel v : 2.6.35.7 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 Thu Jun 6 18:33:27 CST 2013
This is what I did:
Drivers:
- I've downloaded and succesfully installed pda drivers.
- I've manually installed MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers by connecting my phone while holding the volume button. These drivers appear, but disappear again in the Device Manager.
Tried Roots:
- This one of course. But the 'Restore button' does not pop up.
- SRSRoot - does not work
- New graphical method for MTK6589,MTK6577,MTK6575 - does not work
- Manual way directed via MTK Droid Root en Tools:
I failed here at step 7. Mtk drooid Root does not make the CWM automaticly.
Furthermore:
- Tried removing all user data in Recovery Mode, but when I press the power button to select the option it simply does not react.
- I can not enter 'download mode' as far as I know.
- I know there are more methods in Gizbeat 101, but I can't acces them right now... as I'm not a full member there and somehow got instabanned.
- I have the idea they could help me at the Russian fora.. I found this thread with help of google translate... but I don't speak Russian and can't figure out what to do.
Can anyone help me out? This phone has hardly any internal storage. I can't remove most of the applications and a lot of appliacations first install on it's internal memory. If I can't root it, then I can't really use any new applications, since there is no room.
One more question: Am I right if I say I could flash the phone without rooting it? Only that there are at the moment no mtk6575 roms to flash on it?
You're my last resort, else I'll just accept the phone is unrootable and probably buy a new one.... Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey man,
I think it's not possible to make a full back-up without rooting the phone is it? Else I'll be glad to help you out.
I can make a scatterfile with the mtkdroidrootprogram.. but the 'backup' button in mtkdroidroot is grey.
If you tell me how to make a backup I'll gladly help.
So I probably shouldn't just try and flash my phone? Good chance I brick it...
Best regards,
R.
ps. I'm dutch but happened to be in Hyderebad not so long ago
I got root on a s4-clone with the same specs as the first poster.

Thanks for the tip.
Won't the factory reset brick my phone? Since it won't install the hacked ROM?
I tried it without the factory reset but it says "This is not a real Samsung." Will that really change if I factory reset :S?
Try Farmaroot Application buddy. It will work.

Oh, then did you tried " TPSparkyRoot" method? and sorry, i thought you're using mt6577.
Try the software eroot. Everything is in Chinese but I just clicked and clicked and finally got my phone (clone s4 mini Korean) rooted.
I now have my phone bricked when I tried to install some fonts. I got into the 3e recovery but cannot execute the command.

Just fyi, if you still wanna know:
In 3e, you can execute the commands by hitting the lower left touch key, think it's the menu button took me like forever to figure that out
Anyways, I probably got the same mobile, it is a mtk6575. But I am not sure which custom rom I could install safely. Which one worx for sure?!

It's a clone from China/Korea/Japan (I don't know) and I would like to root and update the android version but I've tried a lot of different tutorials but no success in anyone.
I tried to put my phone on Download mode (Hold volume down + home button + power button) but it only show a screen with the android robot and a triangle with white borders and an exclamation inside. It is the recovery mode (Android recovery mode <e> with some options appears if I press home button)
Could somebody help me on this?
I tried:
* Odin -- Does not recognize my phone because it is not in download mode
* Mtk droid tools:

--- Start ZergRush ...

Nothing works. I really would like to root because I want to update android and uninstall a bunch of chinese/korean apps that shows semi naked women in the middle of screen from nothing. Depending on the situation it can cause an embarrassment for me.
Please help me!!!!!!

Hi all,
Please I am making another thread on the topic of lost root after an update of 4.3 on my S3 GT I9300, Plus no pc/laptop is recognizing my phone , When ever I connect USB windows says unknown device, windows error code 10 and 43. I would run my phone without root but after update the phone is not register network, IMEI is there in setting/about phone/status , But even for bringing network back I have to root the phone and I spended 3 days finding stuff if I am able to root the phone without pc suport.
I am really frustreted & can't handle anymore so, please developers if anyone of you can see and get me a flashable zip file package which I can flash over system recovery to get root. Details of the firmware are as follow....

Please Developers Help or my phone has become a toy for kids to play games.
I have tried all the possible methods, I mean by framaroot, iroot, rootmaster, and somany other apps which I can download through wifi and run on the phone. I am able to go to recovery/download mode but pc is not recongnizing my phone I think the update has mas up something on the phone and operating system. So, for all the aspects I require to have root whether I wish to flash custom rom, custom recovery, stock rom through mobile odin or anything. I have read and tried to apply anything that has come across to me in last few days but no luck. :crying: I hope this thread would bring my luck back and my phone will be as earlier. Please help and reply earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Perform a factory reset. Reinstall the device drivers in PC and then try connecting.
Hello Gents,
First this is my first request here and i want to take this as a chance and appreciate the great efforts done by everyone in this forum, really i learn a lot from all of you.

Regards for all
I have the same device a month ago, me too i was search for Lollipop ROM without find anything, but with the Root i have succeeded to Root it with "kingo root" app on windows, i will guide you how :
1_ connect the pc with the same TV you plugged the Merlin device on it.
2_ connect the Merlin device with the Pc with usb cable (plugged the usb in Merlin in the other port not in the one of charger )
3_ after connect with pc go to settings>USB> enable connect to pc.
4_ go to kingo root open it and it will recognized the Merlin device.
5_ click on "ROOT" (it May recognized like if it already root but even that click on "ROOT AGAIN")
Merlin device it will be restart and that's all. (To be sure it ROOT install root checker from play store )
