Okay so I got this Monster M7 tablet as a gift, its actually pretty nice, at least compared to the cheapo that I did have that barely ran anything without imploding, considering its a value tablet from Monster of all companies its amazingly stable after a firmware update. Thing is I cant find any information about rooting the darn thing, its not a huge deal except I would love to clear out of some of the preinstalled apps because the thing does have a funky split storage system that's really limiting.
Its running android 4.1 if that's at all relevant.
there are many tut for root in xda, you can try once

I found out its based around the Rockchip 3066 if that helps at all with ways to root the thing, no luck with anything so far.

I have instructions from Monster on how to update which includes their rock chip driver and a new image. The image fixes an issus with the camera and adds another GB to the internal memory. I still can't root it but thouht maybe someone could use the driver and image to figure out a fix....
Let me know if your interested and I will post the instructions with links for the downloads.
Please send instruction

I did manage to find the RockChip driver, do you know what is the model of RockChip chip set ? I tried about 4 different type of Root applications,all failed on writing to the file system.
Please send all the instruction from Monster...

I am not able to post outside links, since I am a newbie. I sent you a message with the instructions. I am working on posting 10 comments so I can put the instructions here.
feel free to share the instructions, as I volunteered to test them for Monster and take no credit. Obviously I am not responsible for anything that happens to your tablet, nor is XDA. But this is a fairly safe update. I installed it on 4 tablets with no issue. I should be getting another update to test in a couple weeks from Monster and will share it when I get it.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure out how to root it, so we can remove the bloatware.

Just got those myself after sweet talking the Monster tech support, its actually reduced the need to root now that they sort of fixed the glaring memory issue though I would still prefer to see the whole internal memory unified. It would still be nice to root and dump some of this stuff (does anybody EVER actually use the twitter app that's installed on everything?)

Working on one non branded phone does not mean it will work on everything, as is true for EVERY root method. Nothing is 100 percent successful on every device.

You should try flashing to the latest firmware, it looks like you have some kind of fault, if its just software maybe the firmware will fix it. If you couldn't get the stuff from somebody that has it already here, emailing monster support, which you can find on the tablets official website and asking for the beta fix for the camera issues should get you everything you need and instructions. It still may not work tho, before I used it my front camera worked fine, rear camera was only running at 3mp though, after flash they are at correct values but I don't know if it will fix one of them not even showing up, worth a shot though if you cant exchange it for a new one.

1/ I used Monster M7 Firmware Updater and have the latest version of firmware now.
2/ I emailed to Monster Support and didn't get any response yet.
3/ I think both cameras should be work properly with any version of firmware!
You wrote: "I used it my front camera worked fine". What do you do for it? What the software? And after update I see same 3 Mp for rear camera... (I use standard "Camera" application.)

the firmware updater app isn't going to do you any good because the beta version is not available on mass distribution yet, or at least it wasn't a week ago when they gave it to me. Took about a day for them to write me back about it. It really sounds like there is some sort of fault with your tablet tho if its still not working after getting that older update that fixed the freezing issues with the tablet. I can see both cameras with the default camera app, you can hit a button and swap back and forth between the two cameras, if that's not working then you must have some kind of defect on the tablet. The beta update they emailed me fixed the rear camera so its running at 5mp and increased the internal storage from 1gb to 2gb for apps.
Need root for monster m7
Hey guys I am having problems with ma monster m7 tablet and customer service is not took good. I really want to root it but I have tried a almost every rooting app and software available and I have come to a conclusion that monster doesn't want their tablet rooted... Does anyone know a way to root? I mean this is the reason we are on this thread right?
Have you guys tried using the tool from this youtube video? ( I can't post links) It's worked for most of my rockchip tablets running 4.1 so far. Monster should be no exception

I bought an M730W about a month ago from geeks. It came with 2.3.4 on it. I searched high and low to find the ICS for it since I'd seen that the same model is out and comes with it installed. I finally contacted Geeks to see if they could get me in touch with the manufacturer. They had no contact info. Finally after digging around I noticed something with the name of the US based company that hold the patent rights to it. I then dug more and got their number and while I was on hold I found their site. At this address (mymidpad dot com forward slash Downloads_M730Flash dot html) iwas was able to obtain a good manual and the updated firmware. Inside the installer it comes with PhoenixUSBPro, an IMG file and a key. During the install it said it was installing drivers to my laptop but I can not find them when I connect my tablet. The only way that I can apply the update is to have my M730W connected to my machine in a way that it's recognized. The only way for me to do so now is to connect as a USB storage device which does me no good when it comes to using the included software and firmware for updating. So my question is, does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Hey Tod. I also have the m730w. ICS is definitely available for the tablet but theres a catch. Since its a tablet(a generic one at that) you have to use a program for your pc called Live Suite which is primarily used for the ainovo tablets but can be used with any generic tablet. I cant do it right now but most likely tonight, ill post the links and the information on how to upgrade to ics. im currently running 4.0.3 flawlessly and much faster and smoother than GB. and i have full root which i can also show you how to do. just let me know

I don't have just the rom. What I've got is the package that can be downloaded from their site. I don't have enough posts in to put an external link in my posts here. I'd try using a different browser and going to the URL I cheated into my OP. Just replace "dot" with "." and "slash" with "/". The software doesn't install the drivers properly on Vista though so you will want to be aware of that.
Any other word??? I want to update my neice's if at all possible.
Wow, here are the instructions! Good luck!
http://mymidpad.com/M730W Refresh instruction.pdf
Bump.
I have searched this exhaustively! I still don't know what ROM to download or how to boot into recovery mode. The guy above who posted about Live Suite? Haven't heard back from him. I downloaded that, but without the ROM, I don't see the point in even setting it up. I'm not particular about which ROM, as long as it's newer than the one on here, preferable CM7 or newer, but beggars can't be choosers emmirite??!!

LOL. Hi there. Nope. Not a damn thing have I done with mine. It is sitting on my desk. I let my son play Minecraft on it on long rides, and I use it as backup for my phones camera. I know it could be so much smoother, but is being crippled by it's OS. If I could ficgure out how to boot it into recovery I might risk bricking it with a questionable ROM. But I can't find the ROM OR the means by which to boot into recovery. In truth though, I mainly got it to patootz with. I'm more of a laptop kind of guy anyway.

If you don't know, there's no chance any of us ever will. Someone got this for free at some promotion and handed it off to me, so I'm out absolutely nothing. Just a bummer there isn't more to do with it. You'd think that all these POS tablets would just share the same mainboard and proc, so that some standard JB rom would work for all of them. The screen is terrible and it registers touches so poorly that many games are just unplayable. But, if I give it to one of my nieces or nephews, I'll be a hero!
Thanks though!

Yes you will be a hero. I'm sure there are generic ROMS that would work with this. A) I have no idea where they would be. and B) I don't know how to flash them. If I found one I suspected was close, I might try to ODIN it on there.

We just received this phone as well and will be putting a full review up soon on youtube and the site. It appears the phone is either an OEM or copy (more likely) ZP800H / ZP810. Beyond looks and specs, it installs "ZP800H" drivers when plugged into a PC.
I will have a full video review up soon on the site today and attempt some auto root methods as well.

Yes, that is what I said I have in my original post, I mentioned the other ones because I'm told mine is pretty much a clone of them at least with regards to size and looks of the phone. It's not too common of a phone, I haven't seen much in the way of information on this phone, just thought it was a very decent phone ( better than my SG2 in most all areas)
My son suggested maybe seeing if I could find information on rooting it, hense my post and question here.
ahhhh, i always forget you can have titles on posts on this forum >_<
I think MT6890 phones are a bit too new, thus the lack of development so far. Should pick up at least enough to get root soon
Its okay. Unfortunately the screen got cracked tonight by accident Messaged the supplier but not sure what they can do for me. I only just got the phone a few days ago. Hopefully I can send it back to get a screen replacement. Thank you for your replies.
Hi, I bought this phone also (h7500+) and I'm very pleased with it, my only problem is the GPS is having a very hard time getting a lock, so I need to root it to modify gps.conf

Does your phone come with CWM or just with the stock recovery(3e)? If it has CWM installed, you can root it easily with a flashable zip file.

Thanks for the reply. I just checked, and sadly it is the stock recovery (3e). I would try to flash CWM if there was a way, but I don't think there is without a bricking yet.
I also found there is a factory mode for this phone however (pwr + vol dwn) and it contains a plethora of options, problem is, it's all in chinese. I saw an option called GPS, it was followed by chinese characters, so I was too afraid to select anything.

p.s. since im new to this forum, i cant post links to external sites, just remove the [dot] from the link and replace it with . and it should lead you to the website.
How did you manage to crack the screen? Is this a glass screen by the way?
I really like my H7500+, have it since March 19 and I really love the extremely great WiFi coverage. The GPS works with mine, takes about 2 to 3 minutes to get a sat lock. I tried Sygic today, just on my way home (walking) and the signal from the satellites seem to be strong enough.
great phone, a bit heavy, true, yet still a great phone.

I also bought 8GB/1GB, 2100 version and I have no idea if I received what I paid for. I don't know how to check amount of free memory. I see in "storage" that I have 4.9GB free. So maybe it is an 8GB version but 3.1GB is used by firmware? It is strange btw, because I have just flashed it with new firmware and on my PC it had size only 300MB.

What is the ROM version on your watch?
There is no prerooted Omate.
Only 4.9GB free space. Nothing new. Take a look at a 16GB Samsung, you get about 9GB free.
Root. Not yet, I've only had a copy of the 2100 firmware for about 24hrs and no 1/8 2100 to test on. This is requiring I go through the firmware line by line to root and patch it.
EU 2100 1/8GB here too, storage (Phone 1.27GB, Total Space 4.91GB) so i think this is 8GB version but curious that system and OS took nearly 4GB spaces.
Developer Edition - Omate_TrueSmart_20140328.182336_V2.0
Root checker checked the watch is UNROOTED
Need to wait for Loki security patch for EU 2100 version.

From their kickstarter page (and my confirmation page):
Omate TrueSmart DEVELOPERS Edition | Same package as Standard Edition + SDK, Developers Forum, Developers Support, ships Rooted //
You mean the page that also says;
1.3Ghz Dual core (no 1/8 is 1.3GHz)
IP67 water resistance (was never even tested correctly)
Sapphire Crystal Glass (nope just a spray on coating if even that)
Companion support for iOS (BT doesn't even work right yet much less companion mode)
Play Store (not according to Google)
20+ Premium Clockfaces (only if somebody else does it for them)
and the list goes on.....
Ignore what the KS page says and trust the guys that exposed almost every one of the failures on Omate's part and have been working to fix what they can for everybody else.
Lol they're an amazing company! I emailed them today, we'll see what their response is...

There is no prerooted Omate.
Only 4.9GB free space. Nothing new. Take a look at a 16GB Samsung, you get about 9GB free.
Root. Not yet, I've only had a copy of the 2100 firmware for about 24hrs and no 1/8 2100 to test on. This is requiring I go through the firmware line by line to root and patch it.

I have just received my developer edition in the UK 1gb/8gb. Internal storage says 1.27gb and total storage. 4.91gb with 4.89gb available. I have side loaded play store and put on several google apps. I assume this is normal. My only problem I seem to have is when I take a photo it doesn't store it in the gallery or dcim folder. I don't have so card fitted, never needed to before when storing photos. Am I doing something wrong. ?

Try to change to 3mp instead of 5mp in camera setting. I tried that works and picture saved, Video no problem at all. I do not know why not able to save 5mp pics tho. Hope this helps.
3 Megapixel setting allows storage of photos

Thanks that worked
Omate really fu**ed all up...
It's amazing how they did this scam and it's scam, nothing less...
CPU 1Ghz instead of 1.3, camera 3mpx scaled to 5mpx - they can't say they didn't know that in the beginning, that was planned and that's scam.
I'm willing to take my watch and shut the fu*k up but if I preordered watch - I would be very mad right now.
KS is KS and that's nothing new but to but something advertised and receive something totally different??!
But OK... @Androidandy
Mate, you have 2100 version?
How could you sideload without recovery - is that even possible using only ADB?
How did you install market?
Loki just said - no root method for 2100, so no recovery...
Or we have unlocked bootloader and we can flash custom kernel? Hahaha....frickin' sources..

No need rooted to install PLAY. Just download Play apk and install. Mine is developer edition but UNROOTED, so went to get PLAY apk download to TS and click install. Dropbox won't work tho. (Can't get to login page)
You really want your personal info on an unsecured device?
@loki, i don't understand what you mean. I thought unsecured is only apply which Clicking Link, Browsing website, and downloading stuffs. (I download the Play APK from the link you provided (AndroidPolice). I haven't used any browsing, downloading apart from that APK, not even login Gmail, FB, etc). Correct me if i am wrong this still relevant to personal information security, or we should pack the TS and put back into box?
Long short, dropped my phone which broke the rear camera module. On android 6 the phone correctly detects a disfunctioning rear camera and only allows the front camera to be used.
This issue happened on Sony stock rom, shortly after an update was released for Sony stock android 7.
Since then I have flashed a large number of roms, both stock and custom. No luck finding a fix.
On android 7, the cameras cannot be used at all. Any app that tries to use a camera hangs and crashes. Doesn't matter if apps try to load the front or rear camera, or the flashlight.
This includes settings apps, quick toggles, apps like Skype and snap chat cannot even be opened. Google apps constantly crash, Google translate takes forever to load.
Is there any way I c an separate or mark the camera not to be used at all? Would like to have front camera functionality as is in android 6.
Currently using lineage OS 14.1-20170809, android 7.1.2
Happy to mess around in root settings, suspect I might need to edit the kernel. No experience in coding or programming but competent in backups and twrp, flashing, fast boot.
Logcat indicates camera every time there's a hang or crash.
This issue has been super frustrating and I'm not quite willing to purchase a new device just yet.
I'm not sure if it's permitted, but I'm quite happy to provide litecoin (ltc, bitcoins little sister) as a way to accommodate your time and show my appreciation..
Thankyou!
Why not purchase a camera module and replace instead?

I am ashamed to say I did not think of that..
What size soldering iron will I need? Best option to purchase from NZ? Possible to upgrade while I'm at it?
No soldering my friend, just purchase the right part and stick it in there. No way to upgrade, best case scenario the new camera is as good as the old

Here's to hoping it's not a motherboard issue then eh? Cheers for your help mate
and that the new camera is equally good as the original!
Cheers!

Good to read that it's working fine again
Can you elaborate how you replaced the camera module ?
Did you follow ifixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+Xperia+Z5C+Rear+camera+&+Earpiece+&+Front+camera+Replacement/53287) ?
Or did it someone replace it for you ?
Heya zach! Actually neither. Pulled apart an m4 that I have which suffers from the battery issues, to check on camera compatibility before deciding to open my device. You know what the problem was? A ****ing loose connection.
In saying that, I had some interesting success with removing references to hal and restoring a camera apk and data from an Android 6 install

No need, pleasure is in helping!
is there any method to root this device?
The device just came out. There is no root yet
at least you are smart enough to look here first. i've looked around on the internet and there is some ass hat who has tried to convince people to use ODIN to root their devices and got his friends to say yes this worked in the comments. so many people having troubles and the guy is pretending to "help" in the comments. for people who haven't fully bricked their device to ensure that they have. i mean i guess if you are dumb enough to think a device has a working hack a week after it came out then you are doing it to yourself
i'm sure with enough know how they can fix their phones but as it is they are stuck in a boot loop
lesson to the story: always check with a reputable source before you do something which can potentially soft-brick your multi-hundred/thousand/ and in some instances multi-thousand dollar device

Hey, thanks for the info. I would like to know if there is any benefit of rooting the phone? Aside from removing et tampering with system apps.
Is it possible to enable camera2api for all cameras for example? I'm interested in using gcam or other compatible ROMs.

You don't need root to use gcam. All the recent gcam development has been on the rootless variants. As for roms, there aren't any available yet, but now that these are starting to get into more people's hands it's only a matter of time.

one problem i found after rooting is all HD videos were no longer processed proppeerly (broke netflix and amazon prime video would not allow hardware accelerated video) meaning hd was no good aparently.
im not sure weather this can be fixed later but due to this i unrooted and stayed unrooted for now as its all fixed after unroot.
