I bought this tablet in Greece named Turbo X Hive IV, a brand from Plaisio Store! A very nice tablet but I cant find any proper information about rooting it besides a thread about the previous model. I managed to install Gmail and Google Play, as it only had slideme under the name "plaisio market".
The technical information are the following
Turbo X Hive IV, 10.1", 1280 x 800 pixels, IPS panel, Front camera 0.3 mp, back camera 5mp, android 4.2.2, CPU QuadCore-A31 Series at 1.2 GH, Internal storage 16GB, Ram - 1GB, Wifi, Bluetooth, Mini HDMI, Micro USB 2.0 Micro usb 2.0 host , microSD card slot, Li-Ion 6000 mah
Model M10A9
Firmware 3.2_2013704
Kernel 3.3.0 [email protected] #4
My Questions:
1. I dont know if the device is rooted, I want some guidance how to check it.
2. Another thing I want to know is why cant I find anywhere how to set different user accounts (not different gmail accounts under the same user account). Is it locked or hidden ?
3. Is there any other Cyanogenmod or other custom rom that works with this tablet ?
If anyone wants pictures of the tablet I ll upload some.
Thanks,

I got the same tablet for about 10 days now.
How did you manage to get play services work?
I only managed to get the old market work, can you give me the link to the app?
Rooting to a pure android would be great, any time ideas what rom would work?
Manufacturer seems to be Somy.
Same Problem
Has anyone found a solution on which ROM to install on the Turbo-X Hive IV?
(or Somy M10A9...)
I haven't found anything yet...
Same problem
Please if you find something, help!
Need rooting for Turbo X Hive IV (the device is not rooted).
That's what I get when I do system analysis:

Have you tried it with the specified Android tablets? Did it worked? Can you send an image proving it ?
Thanks anyway!
I have tried it, i have rooted 3 tablets in my company and i have installed Google Play on them. I cannot send you an image, since i do not have the tablets with me anymore, our sales people use them, but i can help you if you need something on the process. In fact, it is very-very easy to do it. Download and install framaroot, run it and select the only option visible. Reboot and run it again, you will have a second option, select it and reboot again-you are rooted!

Thanks for your help and time ! I tried to use framaroot but didn't work. After installation, the only visible option was "Aragorn", which I pressed but a message popped up saying that root was unsuccesful unfortunately no other options to press on main screen. Any other suggestions? I am open to anything, just help me root this disappointing product. Thanks again for your time
Reboot, run Framaroot again and then you will have the second option (boromir i think). Select Boromir and reboot again, finished!!!

hi .... i really want custom rom for this tablet ... any idea ?
Hello,I know that this thread is very old,but before one year, I tried to flash a custom recovery on my turbo x hive iv tablet, the
TWRP for Android One Second Generation MTK with code name seedmtk, because I thought it would work since my tablet was a mediatek device, but I falsely flashed the recovery on both boot and recovery partitions and bricked both recovery and boot modes.I want to mention though that I have partial access to fastboot mode (I have installed also mtk drivers) and it seems that I can't flash to recovery partition,but I can flash on boot, so all I want from everyone here if it's possible, is the stock boot.img of this tablet because I'm almost sure that it will boot since system partition is not broken and it was booting before I flash on boot partition without recovery or factory mode though.
Anyway,with a few words if you bored of reading this,I want the boot + recovery.img if it's possible,I know this tablet can't do many things,but I would like to fix it.

it if dos not boot at first try (showing a X after 20-30 seconds)..
maybe change the /system/build.prop in the zip.
replace everything you see in th build.prop with "flyer" with "express" .
save it and copy it back into the zip and replace the original one.
in the /system/lib/hw , rename files you see with "flyer" in the name, replace that with "express" too. ie lights.express.so
flash it once more and see if it helps.
Pulled, will try in about an hour when she charges back up. Apparently I left my wifi on..seems to drain a little more in ICS.
Will report back

Sounds cool. From what I have read we will lose Flash if we go to JB. Is this correct?
Stopping support for Flash by Adobe now in favor of HTML5 is sort of like closing all gas stations in favor of electric. Great idea, terrible timing. HTML5 is nowhere near ubiquitous.

can you replace META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
in the zip you downloaded first with the updater-script in the zip attached to this post and try again.
the reboot is because it probably only wiped, but not unpacked anything to the partition.

Done. Install went smooth. Theres a long delay waiting for a sim card, then the "Insert SIM card" shows up with a "skip" button.
Overall, it seems pretty solid for what it should be.
Compared to your thread for the flyer: mic doesn't work, GPS seems to not even exist on the device, using that UMS doesn' work, if scrolling in chrome is part of the 2d hardware acceleration then it feels slow

thanks for the confirmation, no matter if its good or bad.
i believe its possible to make a generic edition and let the installer detect which parts belong to which hardware.
ill look into that.
the hardware issues, probably relate to the files /system/lib/hw where light/sensor/gps is for the flyer and probably differ from the view edition.
for the mic part, i believe those files are for flyer, which needs to be view specific as well.
anyways, thanks, its good to know it can be made working on view as well.
quick search on google, shows that Chrome is not as fast as stock browser, which might be was regular chrome users experience? JB is new and not all apps are adapted? maybe thats why this keeps coming back as being a problem, but might not be a build problem, but Chrome being less compatible.

You can still use flash. You just cannot download it from the market but the ICS version works just fine.
In what ways is JB significantly better than ICS or GB in order to sacrifice some functionality to run it in your opinion? Not snarking here - I really would like to know.
In my personal experience, GB on this tablet is just fine. It can be overclocked and everything works, but of course I'd love the latest and the greatest if there is some noticeable performance pop.
"Not snarking here" - ehum.

its all just a challenge and development tests/teasers.. for some it can easily be a daily driver, for others too much is definately not working.
I do not have it for the pen, so thats no priority personally.
but media playback for me, can be important, for now i just switch to SD when im on youtube.
but generally, there is alot of difference in the drivers and how framework and JB differs, i do not want to repeat , but it is for better, if just we can make more work better.
JB/ICS is alot better experience especially comparing our less good HC adaption.
JB kills GB. i'm running JB on my nexus and it's SO quick!
thanks for your hard work here, i hope we can get something running! we sort of have an ICS rom, but JB is what ICS should have been from the start..i'm pumped!
Yeah HC was pretty lame. Its really too bad the way HTC just completely abandoned what was an expensive device at the time.
I have a pen but really don't use it much anymore anyway. 7 inch tablet is just a little too small to comfortably write on anyway. I guess for me fast internet browsing and solid Netflix are the most important things.

Great work. I'm interested in testing once I can flash in a normal fashion (not sure how to switch out the zip file etc.)

Thanks for the development of JB on the view, been thinking of trying to port some of the roms from the flyer lately. I'm not much of a developer so the fresh thread here is greatly appreciated.

Runs great so far! A few minor issues but won't take much to iron out.

I plan on rooting this thing. As soon as I get that sorted out I may post more.
Also we're dealing with a M805MC (Amlogic 8726-M3) chip instead of RockChip RK2918.
I have attached images of both chips.
The mfg is Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and the build location is Guangdong, China. I'm under 10 posts so that's why no links but I can produce them upon request.
Ok this is sort of important so I will try to get the link in here.
Drum roll please....
Source code:
openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Platform_Info/Information_for_8726M/Build_system_for_8726M_Howto
If a moderator would like to make that link hot, be my guest .
I also purchased one of these tablets on Black Friday. It was on sale for 80.00 at Big Lots....Unfortunately its missing Google Apps, so rooting it would be nice...Although I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing, I did get ADB working and was able to reboot the device into some type of stock recovery, so with that in mind, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help...
Also either the HDMI port is shot after using it for just a few minutes or I have a bad cable...It was nice while it worked though.
Not having Google Apps is a bummer, but using info I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895040 I was able to get Gmail, Google Voice, Google Drive, Google Music, and Google + working. I also tried installing Google Talk, but ended up doing a factory reset because after I installed it...all the other Google Apps I had installed started crashing and I wanted to just start from scratch.

I know I already clicked thanks but seriously, thanks again man. I don't think I personally have the skillset to root this thing so I humbly tip my hat to whomever gets it done. I do know that shutdown then vol up + plug usb in puts it in jtag mode . Shows as 'M3-CHIP' in devmgmt.msc (M3 being the CPU revision)

I purchased 3 of these on Black Friday and have been unable to root them because of the aml8726-m34 chip. How did you get ADB working? What driver did you use? How did you get into recovery? I didn't think these tablets had any recovery interface.
I'm glad to hear that you did have some luck installing some of the google apps. Thanks for posting!

I got in with the generic Google USB driver pesonally. You won't have root access though. Typing su from shell just gives a message about su not being found in the bin folder. Recovery is vol up + power or you can get there by putting a 3rd party zip on the sd card and then to to the upgrade app. It won't work because it's stock recovery. Oh, and for recovery to even see a .zip file it has to be on an external sd card.

[Update]
I've created a thread here to get people's attention as most people (like I was at first) are confusing this for the Next8SE or other Nextbooks. Hopefully the issue having it's own address will help make the information gathering process quicker.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to get a rom dump tonight!
Anytime. I've shot Yifang/Nextbook an email asking for their source code. Hopefully they will comply as firmware does have software covered under GPL.
Also I brought up Netflix. Several Nextbook devices have a firmware update to address the issue. I'm assuming whatever the bug was, it was migrated inadverently to this device's code. Can I get some confirmation from other users that this is a shared issue? Thanks.
Finally, I noticed there is a Nextbook w/ Google Play so I also inquired about Gapps/Play being included in a future update. I will relay whatever information I recieve.

I also pretty sure I used the generic Google USB driver. With the tablet turned on and usb debugging enabled I plugged it into the computer and then I updated the driver in device manager and then ADB worked...using the command "adb reboot recovery" got me into recovery...
Also, worth noting I guess, if my memory is correct...I think Windows 7 searched the internet and automatically installed some type of ACER driver. The Acer driver may have also worked, but I got rid of it and went with the generic Google driver(since it obviously wasn't an Acer device)...
Also, I noticed that the OP was able to flash a rom using the RKAndroid update tool, which is used for flashing firmware to a Rockchip based Android tablet. Are we able to confirm what chip the original posters device is running? I ask because it seems, like mascondante pointed out, that the next8p12 has shipped with different chips over time? The black Friday ones running the armlogic M3-chip and the earlier ones being a Rockchip RK2918?

All Nextbook 8 Premium SE roms I've found online were for the RK2918 chip using the RKAndroid tool... it might be possible to modify the Rockchip driver to recognize the AML8726-M3 chip, and maybe even flash one of the available roms, but it almost certainly wouldn't boot.
I wonder if the Bin4ry tool from this thread will work on these? It looks like it should work on anything with ADB working.

I tried that tool and it didn't work, although it seemed to recognize the device...But I don't think I tried it while the device was actually turned on and booted(I'm not 100 percent sure), rather I think I tried it when I the device was in what i believe was jtag mode...I'll try again later.
EDIT: Crap...I tried while booted and having adb working...No dice...

I tried it using option 1 and ended up with a boot loop after the first splash screen. Was able to boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
Tried it with option 2 and it went through the process with several errors and booted ok, but did not achieve root.
I've also tried using recovery to install signed update packages with superuser and busy box, or even just gapps, but it refuses everything, indicating that signatures can not be verified successfully.
I'm currently trying to find a way to get read/write access in ADB or ADB shell, as this seems to be the big issue.
I agree, it also looks like ADB is the prevalent obstacle here. I'd like to at the very least get Android Market and all the crapware off this thing. I told someone this would be a great buy for a christmas present at BigLots as I was under the impression, after reading up on the RK29 devices, that they were rootable and I could get a custom rom onto it for them. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news!

I don't think there is anything we can do with these without an official update.zip from Nextbook.
I'm not talented enough to 'crack this nut' solo but I will keep looking across the web for a potential solution. I've been under the weather; Sorry for not staying mode on top of this.
I'm guessing the jtag mode is the key here. I'll keep looking.

I got this response from Nextbook today concerning the Netflix update:
Thank you for the email. Please note, we're experiencing Technical difficulty with the
Next8P12 models that have an Android OS system level of 4.0.4. The Netflix Update
was issued for the Android OS systems with 4.0.3 models. Therefore, the configuration
of the update is unable to be recognized by the 4.0.4 OS units. However, we have
contacted Netflix to provide to us a patch for this model. We appreciate your understanding,
patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
When that update becomes available, it will likely be packaged as an update.zip (Like the existing one), which can be modified to give us root access.
Hi,
I bought an Andorid media player. It isin't very clear who made it. It has a kingzer case but cannot find the case or any info on it on their website. It was made rooted I wanted to unroot it so I could run media apps properly. I then tried to install CWM spesifcally "CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Allwinner A10 LY-F1/TREQ Tablets" thread on xda-developers. Its an Allwinner A10. So I got it to install but when I boot up my media box now I get CWM screen 4 times on my tv and its all pink saying
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
The buttons on the front of my media box only move the selection up and down cannot actually "select" anything. I have tried ADB it appears as "20080411 recovery" however when I try to fastboot it and do fastboot devices nothing appears. Iv tried both windows 7 and Linux Mint. I have no idea what to do. Id rather not just throw it away as scrap cost me £100. Below are the specs I got from the device before hand.

Perhaps others can, but from what you have posted, I have no idea which box you have.
A picture of the device, and better yet, a picture of the circuit board may help.
Then perhaps someone on these forums can identify it and point you to a ROM (Firmware) that you can load.
Lots of these things are sold under different names, so installing a new firmware may "re-brand" it, but at least you'll (hopefully) have a working device.

OS: Android 4.0.3
Kernel version: Linux 3.0.8
I was using my tablet at an airport and everything was fine before I shutoff my phone for the flight to take off. I turned it back on once the plane reached cruising altitude. I got an indicator that my SD card was damaged, which makes no absolutely no sense. also, my apps disappeared...
Problems are:
-When I connect to PC, tapping "Turn on USB storage" nothing happens, only the lile circle indicates that it is doing something but it does nothing...
-Settings>Storage: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
next to the clock it says "Damaged SD card. SD card damaged, you may have to reformat it." There is not SD card in the slot, but it still says this.
-Cannot push an SD card into the slot: It doesnt stay there even if i push it to the maximum inside. No "click sound" either.
-Cant do anything only using the internet, internal storage is not reachable in any way thus i cant install newer rom too.
Did a factory reset (Settings>factory reset) but couldnt help, still the same... I beg you guyz for your help!
Anyone?

...having the Same Problem

So it looks like I'm having the same problem with the same gear. I tried several cures to no avail.
But First the Tech Specs of my Arnova GBook:
Manufactor: VIMICRO
Model: ANGB
CPU: ARMv 7 rev 2 (v7l)
Memory: RAM 337, ROM 0.91, SDCard 0 MB (at the Moment more to that later)
Android: 4.0.3
BuildID: generic_vortex-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K 1.0 test-keys
Linux Version: 3.0.8-vimicro([email protected]) (gcc Version 4.4.3)
I copied some files to the mounted exSDCard (4gb noname) when my tablet suddenly died and the only way to reanimate it was by factory resetting it.
The Problem istself seems to relate to the inability to mount a Nonformated SDCard that i can not format because it is not proberly mounted.
I have no clue how to root the tablet. I tried a set of instruction from a french website, but since i don't speak french i'm not sure if the google translator gave me the right directions.
I tried to mount it the SDCard via terminal. Format it connecting the gbook to an ubuntu box and a lot of system tools available via googles play store.
USB connection shows the drives but I'm not abel to mount or list the contents of it. In general the System is booting up and i am able to install apps from Google Play. Since i can't mount any external devices i am not abel to transfer files via other means because the gbook wants to copy them to the interna SDCard (wich is not available ).
I am looking for any possible solution. If there is an alternate Frimware i will try it.
Thanks in advance for any offered Help!

Still trying...
Any solution i found using Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo seems to require Root Access. Has somebody successfully rooted an Arnova GBook?
Or is there really no possibel solution for a dummy user to fix this problem. It seems to boil down that i cannot mount device mmcblk0 to sdcard because "access denied".
Did anybody face a similar problem and fixed it without root?
Tried several SDCard tools to no avail...
ES File Explorer is showing me that everthing i need is there but still, every try to mount the internal storage is leading to permission denied. I'm stating to love Android
Well if there is no root, is it possible to write a shell script to revive the internal SDCard and run that with elevated rights?
ES File manager is showing the directory entry with 0 MB. Since i am a novice in Android Systems i am just not sure if that means anything.
Maybe i'm wasting my time on a piece of chinaware but this nut i still too tempting to ignore. It's just that with my limited Linux knowlegde it seems that mounting a device and formating it afterward sounds not to troublsome or am i completely lost. After asking Google, bing and some other SEs it is not that uncommon but none of the cures i found worked for my GBook.
What am i missing?
Stil no answer from Arnova on my request for a stockrom Download. Somebody got an Idea where elsee i could find a ROM image for an Arnove GBook or does anybody know if there is an alternative Firmware available?
I was able to connect to my Device via ADB
mount is delivering the following:

Please I am a complete Android Noob. Is there somebody able to guide me to a Point where i can start to patch all this together.
I am able to find pieces here, but i'm not getting the broad picture.
Next try...
using Root Many by Bin4ry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 to get into my device I got following results:

After reboot the gbook is throwing "unfortunately UI has stopped" and "unfortunately settings has stopped". Nothing works until i factory reset it again (at least something i am growing really good at) and I'm back to square one.
Other means of editing files within the system via ADB are only leading to access denied or system is in read only mode.
Any other ideas?
By using Archtablet.com's method: "http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/firmware-development/dumping-firmware-on-arnova-g2-arnova-g3-and-other-rockchip-based-tablets/" i tried to get an Firmwareimage. They tried to Help me out but again disaster struck. Ubuntu 13.04 with usblib installed failed to even recognize the GBook. Trying it with Windows and adb i need (what a surprise) root rights.
So next question is: Is there any general way to read out a tablet firmware without rooting or is it always up to the vendor to just screw things to their Liking ?
I know i should quit this beast, but stubborn as ever i keep banging my head against the wall .

Hello all,
I got a Sony Xperia P (LT22i) last christmas and I have been using a freexperia built ROM ever since. The ROM uses a Cyanogenmod 4.0.4 internally. Unfortunately my phone is often quite slow to respond to user input up to the point where it doesnt even unlock the screen when I press the button. If I use htop via adb I see the following:
Mem: 798852K used, 21644K free, 0K shrd, 17748K buff, 306296K cached

The system_server seems to use up the entire CPU time causing my problems. Is there a way to fix the problem, if yes, who would I talk to about this?
Alternatively I would like to use another ROM. I have heard that my device has some quirks making it very hard to use most ROMs (most notably a broken audio driver?). For this reason I originally chose the freexperia builds despite the fact that that android version is not exactly up-to-date.
Is there another ROM that will work properly with my device?
Also I would like to know how to back up the relevant data: When I installed the current ROM, android wouldn't start until I reset the device and wiped the data in the process. I dislike every kind of backup that uses "the cloud" for obvious reasons. I just want to copy the data onto my laptop via USB (without using an App, free or not). I tried using "adb backup" but I am not sure which options I have to select to obtain the relevant data without having a >> 1 GB size BLOB on my laptop. Any ideas about that?
You would have more luck looking in your device specific subforum instead of general area.
