[Q] Prestigio PAP5400 DUO rooting & firmware downgrading help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm having a problem with rooting Prestigio PAP5400 DUO smartphone. I had recently updated it to the newest firmware and later tried to root it with various software. SRSRoot couldn't do that, tough it showed, that previous firmware was rootable, so I am asking if whether it is still possible to somehow root it or can anyone help me with downgrading, there are firmware versions to download from official support page, but no idea how to downgrade and if it's even possible. The main reason why actually need rooting is to increase RAM thrue Ultra speed SD card, since quad core and 512 Mb RAM ain't exactly the best couple... Perhaps there is somethig else do that without the RAM managment software and root acess. I don't know if 125-50 or less free RAM is normal, since the aren't a lot of apps in it, and even if i clean them, they tend to restart sometime after, I don't want to uninstall them tough, just more RAM and for that I need solutions for the previous requests. Would be good enough to know if there is an expert that can solve these problems.

Prestigio PAP5400 DUO rooting
Upgrade, don't downgrade it and use Kingo Root. Mine is v.1.0.18. Be sure that your driver is instaled properly first. I don't think you can incrase RAM because stock kernel doesn't support Swap. Anyway I may be wrong.
Good luck.

Thank you, i used VRoot and it worked, got full root, still, you are right about swap memory, the stock doesn't allow it, still the cell phone is now significantly faster and less lag occurs due the privileges of having root acess for some cell managment apps. Just be careful if using VRoot, it also seems to behave as a spyware, probably China's intension

help!

[Q] Azpen A1040 Help

I have an Azpen A1040, I am fairly new to tablets altogether.
I was trying to use the complete linux installer app to see if I could run Ubuntu on my tablet.
Well, that requires root. I have tried a few things with no success.
But the last one I tried was Vroot, it did NOT root the tablet, but yet, now Vroot is on there and I can not remove it even after doing a Facotry Reset.
I uninstalled Vroot when it didnt work, but then I did a factory reset and noticed there is an icon that looks like the vroot icon but all the text is in chinese.
I dont really need to run linux or root priveleges that bad, but now it bugs me that the vroot app is still there. What is it doing. Is it hurting anything?
Is there an easy way to get rid of it?
The specs of the tablet from the side of the box are
Azpen A1040 10.1" Quad Core Tablet
CPU MT8127 Quad Core Cortex A7
Running Android KitKat 4.4.2
You can find web specs for it at azpenpc.com
I can go in to running apps and do a force stop and disable on the chinese vroot, but I just dont want it to cause spyware or anything else.
Not even sure this is the right forum to post in, but I figure someone will point me in the right direction I hope.
Thanks
Rick (A total tablet newbie) haha

Hi Rick, did you figure out how to root this device? I have been struggling for days trying to find a root utility. Thanks!
I'm not doing what you are attempting but.
I found a couple of potential options. That worked for the limited things I was doing.
Cyanogen rooting appeared to work, though it won't allow installation of custom roms since there currently is no support.
Kingoapp I found on CNet, though I don't have any experience with it, it appeared to successfully root the device.
I would have added links but currenlty it appears I'm not allowed to. Google is your friend.

[Q] Archos 101b Neon 4.4.2(kitKat) Rooting

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum(what a great please btw) and am looking for help on how to flash/root the 101b Neon, I had a 101 Neon which I managed to root with VROOT, however it had a power issue(no charge) so returned it for a 101b, which runs KitKat(required for some of the apps I want|)
However for the life of me I can't root it, I've tired VROOT, KINGROOT, a couple of chinese apps to root it, all fail(reboots, screen goes grey, tried it a few times to no avail) . I also want to flash the CWM (tried it with Arctools) but nothing. I've found a few posts where people have recommened downgrading to 4.2, however I need 4.4 for several reasons....(remoteplay app port on XDA-developers being one!)
Really looking for some help as I'm totally lost, I know it has a RK 3188T CPU similar to the 101 XS and apparently runs a " pure Android 4.4 ‘KitKat operating system without any skins or overlays."
. Is the 101b actually a Gen10 system?
Hope someone can help.
I was thinking that would it be possible to extract the update.img file(found a tool that did it) and then manually inject full root privileges(not sure if the correct term) into the boot.img? then repack back together and then reflash onto the tablet?
Or alternatively extract all the relevant drivers out of the extracted kernal/system img and add then to a generic 4.4.2 rooted rom?
The parameter file in the unpacked firmware has the following info
FIRMWARE_VER:4.4.2
MACHINE_MODEL:rk30sdk
MACHINE_ID:007
MANUFACTURER:RK30SDK
MACHINE: 3066
Am I right in thinking that it looks like the 101b Neon uses a rk3066 CPU rather than the stated RK 3188T ??
Sorry If the above doesn't make sense as I'm only about a week or so into owning an android device....
...
Anyone help?
Any luck with that?

I have recently got one of these archos tablets but this has 4.4.4 and i cant find anything to root it either. pulling my hair out and theres not much left lol
Yes! Finally did it with Kingo ROOT, it took a few attempts but eventually "fetched" the right scripts(I'm assuming it tries several), it finally rebooted, check it with root-check tool and it's all done!
Let me know if it works, or if your stuck

[Q] [P780] KingUser factory "rooted" (partially) 4GB JB phone looking for full root

[Q] [P780] KingUser factory "rooted" (partially) 4GB JB phone looking for full root
Hi all,
I tried the rooting process described here but just bricked my phone because it wouldn't start or my computer wouldn't even detect it anymore. Fortunately, I was able to un-brick it with the files I had from the seller.
This phone came with KingUser, multi-language and has Google Play pre-installed. Unfortunately, even with KingUser saying the phone has root, it doesn't. I can't use Titanium backup for instance. Root Checker reports also that it's not rooted. The seller assured me that flashing with them will give me full root privileges but all it does it return it to the state it came to me a week ago:
SP_Drivers_v1.4
ROM Lenovo P780 MTK6589 163733 multi language firmware - 2014111\1P780_20130723 (v3.1324.0.177)
(I'm still grateful for those files because they saved the day as I was able to get my phone to a working state again.)
Would someone has some advice on a rooting process that could work for this phone and these specs?
Lenovo P780
Android 4.2.1
Build P780_S136_140306
MTK Quad-core 1.2GHz
RAM 1GB
Memory 2.4GB
Total Memory 4GB
Kind Regards

Rooting a mediatek mt6580 massive trouble.

Hey guys and gals, this may sound like an eye rollingly noobish post but honestly ive never had more trouble rooting an android device in my life! so I just got one of these:
https://www.shopandsmile.com.au/collections/android-tablets/products/10-inch-octa-core-3g-tablet
youve probably seen them floating around Aliexpress and the like, not a bad tablet but should go for less than $100 due to build quality, but moving on,
so its a Mediatek MT6580 chipset and the model is BXMC-K107
ive been trying to root this thing all day, I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb, however any attempt to root with any of the programs like kingroot, root genius, iroot etc have all failed, absolutely no luck with any of them, i tried the manual root method but couldnt get nautilus to work with my VM ubuntu install through virtual box, I will try again with a proper installed linux distro rather than vm but I cant see it making much difference.
I also used the main program people use for Mediatek devices (MTK droid tool) however when I open it, I get this error after it reads the tablet:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdis1ilv8qxccrm/Cap.........................ture.PNG?dl=0
trying to root gives me this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpvdexxswwyeh33/Capturascsxze.PNG?dl=0
cant create any backups, cant use any program to root, and cannot figure out where to go from here,
any help would be much appreciated!
THANKS!

Need Help Rooting Gionee P5L

Phone Model - Gionee P5L
Chipset MediaTek MT6735
Graphics MaliT720 MP2
Processor Quad core, 1.3 GHz, Cortex A53
Architecture 64 bit
Ram 1 GB
OS Android v5.1 Lolipop
I can't seem to root my phone. Tried various One-Click apps and other methods such as rooting via a computer, but alas they have failed to root my phone.
Some people suggested that unlocking bootloader first would solve my problem. So I proceeded to unlock my phone's bootloader which caused my phone to go into a bootloop. So again trying to fix bootloop I flashed my phone's original stock rom. Again which caused my phone to be bricked, the hard kind. (had one ****ty day :laugh.
(Above paragraph in case you guys wanted to know, and I'm kinda new here and I'm not sure if this is the place to ask a question. Please inform me if I need to move this post elsewhere)
Now, the question.
Please help me root my Gionee P5L without unlocking bootloader as I'm afraid it might break my phone again. And please suggest softwares or apps that I should give a go to root my phone.
Apps and sofwares I have tried so far includes Kingoroot, Kingroot and Iroot. And also someone who had a similar phone as I do tried other apps like Frama but they still don't work.
Thank you
See this for twrp recovery & custom rom for gionee p5l
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lineage-14-1-gionee-p5l-t4092345
It solved. It was happening for an application which has taken the "display over the other applications" permission. I turned off that particular permission & it solved.
Thanks for your help
