[Q] Rooting and Stuff for Intel Androids - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends,
I know that most of androids are on ARM, but there are people like me too, using Intel Atom x86 arch, there are almost no articles about rooting and customizing my device, XOLO X910 (India), which has Z2460 atom processor.
I am not so sure if this is the section to post this, if not provide me with the link for the appropriate one.
Any small info is appreciated.

Its not possible to root these phones as its pretty locked down... the only phones with Intel and root able are x900 and RAZR I... x900 had a unprotected area which helped in root...but xolo found out and patched it... its impossible to root now... we have a locked boot loader and no kernel source... which means we are screwed... if the ROM signing key is released we'll be saved... but till then what u have is what ull get... nothing more... I've used x900 and now using x1000 and I know ur frustration!!!

Right now, all I want from my mobile is to be able to use the graphics. To do so, I need to be able to play games from external sdcard which seems impossible without rooting, why do they give us so much graphic capability, and less internal storage, and then huge sized games. Is there no unrooted way to play games in external sd card. Again, if you dont kno Sukrith, or if this is not the correct section, point me in the right direction.

Dear i am also using same phone and most of my friend using the intel x900 or x1000. what i found is rooting X910 is not possible at this point the only solution to use HD Games is remove some apps and than play games. ! ! . Feel proud because this is only phone in this price range which at least give you a TRY to 90% of android games. This is cool.....! ! if you like this you will probably think to upgrade your phone to Lenovo K900. ....what i learn is Intel giving the best performance in very low price. :good:
So save intel in mobile marketing by strongly recomanding it to our friends.

Even adb wont work
Its not just rootable, and I think the cause, it cant even be recognized as an adb device, with all the kit, even the latest intel drivers cant make it do that.. Anyway atleast we could do that, most of the problems could be solved.

What, really , u r telling ppl to recommend this crap to others , that too so that a multi billion dollar company saves marketing cost? Great, alas, no amount of marketing can save an inferior product
Many apps and games do not work on x86, plus there is no development, not even root that sucks

ha ha ha ya of course i am agree with you ....its ridiculous.... i am trying to save a multi billion company in mobile marketing.....this is not fair..
Albeit what i found is :- in this price range XOLO X910 is almost the only phone that gives you chance to play most of the android games. You will find that no other phone gives such performance and apps compatibility in the price range. In this price range most of the phone will show you that "this app is not compatible with your device" including Samsung, Sony, Micromax, Karbonn, HTC and other major player in the sector. They charge you at least Rs 2000 to 3000 more for less performance than intel. I hope you will understand what i want to say.

I've been able to use adb with XOLO X910
Hey its been a long time. I did some research on adb and android drivers. What I've found is that the drivers intel provides, they are exclusive for Orange San Diego, so they wouldn't detect Xolo mobiles,. To do so, I changed the VID(Vendor ID) from 8087 (san deigo) to 1D91 (xolo) in the driver file. And also replace the PID ( Product ID). Now I am able to use the adb in command line, and also the interactive shell. But both of them without root.
adb root
gives me "adbd cant run in root with production builds"
in the shell i cant "su" coz there is no su existing there.
Although adb is able to recognize my device, fastboot is not able to do so. I've boot into the bootloader mode.
fastboot devices
gives nothing, and other commands say "waiting for device".
I think this is because of locked bootloader.
I found my mobile has a "Android system recovery 3e". Tried to flash su through an update.zip unsuccessfully, (Signature cant be verified).
So, any more ideas???
