Rooting a K-touch V8 Smartphone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently purchased a phone from China( K-touch V8 Smartphone Tegra 3 Core Quad Android 4.0 4.5 Inch Gorilla Glass Screen 3G GPS 16GB - copy+paste of the order).
So far so good. The problem is I can't install Google Market, nor does it have one already install. So I thought I'd root it. Literally the only relevant thread I could find was on these forums. I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general so half the things I read there, I didn't understand.
Long story short, how would I go about rooting?
You can find some screenshots below. If you need any other info let me know.

{Q} Best Chinese Phone ?

Hey i have an motorola Photon, but he stucks on GB
Until april i will have 280$ without use.
So what phone should i pick? ( in the future )
anyway is saw the new MTK6588 it's amazing

I'd say Meizu phones are the best of the Chinese phone lot. Meizu MX is really nice, though a tad iPhone-y.
You can buy Motorola Atrix
U can try xiaomi mi2 just released I heard its very nice,check gsmarena for full specificatoins..

HDC S3 i9300 Quad Core Mtk6588
Hello, how are. Well tell them that I'm brand new to android so I know understand, if this happen to some other thread, just let me know. It turns out that a few weeks ago to buy a mobile named: HDC Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 mtk6588 to 1.4ghz, 1g ram, 8gb rom, 16 gb sd, 8mpx cam, 2mpx front cam, 4.8 inch lcd. The truth is a great phone for me at least a passing Omnia 2 has this. The point is that as desconosco were unaware even android and I wanted to root as the play google told me he had updates for some applications, at that time I did not know use SuperSU benia already installed, and I had no better idea to follow a statute root of this type of phone, but for mtk 6575-6577. and so I did, the point is that now tells me I have 480 MB RAM and 1GB, 2GB rom and 8GB, 2GB sd and 16gb ARMv7 processor (VFPv3, Neon), and not a mtk 6588. Wifi does not work, or the camera or bluetooth, if the 3g and data. I learned to use the tool and flash recovery mode, I tried as much ROM for this type of mobile found, of course whenever with mtk6575 but the flash tool or update. zip I get errors. Firmware for Mtk6588, there is on the web at least I did not find it. It is not more to do, so I turn to you to see if there is a solution, or simply lost mobile. From already thank you very much and forgive the scroll.

ZTE S7Q (Chinese Tablet)

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place (did not find a specific ZTE tablet forum - but i guess all the chinese tablets are pretty much the same).
I recently got this device, It's pretty nice, not strong or anything (like the nexus 7 i initially wanted) but it was given to me for free.
My only problem with the device is the operating system version, android 4.2, I have also nexus 4 device and going back to 4.2 feels a bit how to say, laggy, old fashioned.
Can someone guide me please / link and also explain if it's possible somehow to get this tablet to android 4.4 or even 4.3.
Thanks you very much,
Anyone knows maybe? even a general answer not only to the zte tablet, regarding the chinese tablets and firmwares.

I am hacking this same tablet right now. ZTE is just a clone brand. Really, it is a Rockchip rk3188 processor, and some GPU. I hope this helps you find the right ROM. The bootloader is already unlocked, so that's not going to be a problem. Download this to identify your HW further:

[Q] Help Kingelon (Note 3) rooting and other stuff

I have just ordered a phone for my wife - KINGELON N9800 5.7" IPS MTK6592 8-Core Android 4.2.2 Phone 13MP CAM 2GB RAM 16GB ROM. After reading about malware and other stuff on some of these phones I would like to ask if there is a way to root the phone and replace the rom, assuming of course if I was able to do that it would ensure no dodgy apps or hidden software was left on it.
I am a beginner in this field, last ROM I replaced was an HTC Hermes
Any help appreciated.
I have been scouring the internet since posting and have found the following….
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/11/How-to-Remove-Replace-VRoot-Chinese-superuser-with-SuperSU.html
One comments suggests it work on the Kingelon 9800.
Just wondering...
1 Is W0lfdroid a trusted website by XDA members?
2 Will the software remove all dodgy stuff that may be installed on the phone?
TIA
Anybody can help advise me on this?

[Q] Expect to be able to root the Tab 4 ?

I'm getting itchy for a new tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 looks uninteresting, especially for the price. Plus, Samsung is getting more difficult to root. The forthcoming Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus is interesting, especially for the price. Although I'd have to wait until May.
The real question, is it likely that I'll be able to root the Tab 4? I'm not looking for a guarantee, just an opinion. I've never had a Lenovo android device, so I don't know how they tend to treat this question.

Although, basically every device is Rootable. Lenovo usually keeps their custom version of Android close to stock, so it shouldn't have any problems.
Still no root available?
Hi, I got my Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus today and it appears there is still no root instruction available. I tried Framaroot and KingRoot but both failed miserably. Towelroot did not even install - but I believe that one works on older Android versions only anyway.
All instructions on the Web are obviously fake and even on the Lenovo board there is nothing usable about the Tab 4...
I believe the Tab 4 is already out since a couple of month now.
Is it really possible that nobody has rooted it so far?
Does somebody here know how to root that tablet?
lenovo Tab 4 8" is a fair Tab. However browser is freezing up on the regular.

Lenovo Tab 4 8" is not a adult tablet. However the browser is freezing up on the regular already. Hoping to find a root for the device soon.

The tablet hasn't been released everywhere yet (including the US) so perhaps when it does, there will be a lot of people attempting to find a way to root.

No clue if the information is correct, but that link
tabletmonkeys.com/lenovo-tab-4-10-android-7-1-tablet
says it has been released more than one month ago in the US.

There is no rooting method available for Lenovo tab 4 10 plus. But you can try it with one click root applications available.
None of them works with the Tab 4.

That's for the non-plus variants; I was referring to the Plus variants.

OK, thanks for the clarification! I didn't expect that they release the non-plus and the plus separated... Do you have up to date information when the plus release in the US is planned?
for now, I have tried all the root method none of them working. kingo. iroot. have been google all day.
I am seeking for the method as well, please help.
For Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus and Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus root is possible by unlocking bootloader, booting (not flahsing) TWRP and flashing SuperSU or Magisk. I made a howto in a german forum. I think matshias (who build TWRP for both devices) make a howto on xda in the near future.

1. You don't need a unlock code from Lenvo. The command fastboot oem unlock-go work without a code.
2. It exists TWRP for the Tablet (I linked it in my howto). The only thing is, better not to flash it, only boot it.
3. see 2.

Do you know if this work on the standard Lenovo Tab 4 8" ( Not the Plus) ?
No, only for the Plus versions. Maybe matshias build sometimes a version for the non Plus.

Here is TWRP for the Plus version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/twrp-root-tab-4-plus-tb-x704l-f-tb-t3664407
Here are experimental TWRP builds for Tab 4 8/10. Let me know if they work.

Would rooting it possibly fix the sdcard issues ( I have a non plus tab)
If you search the Lenovo forums you'll see it mentioned there( mine is doing it also)
hmmm
