Just got one of these in the mail yesterday.
http://www.mcbub.com/item/10-2-inch...4GB-WiFi-HDMI-GPS-Tablet-PC-CN107371--140827/
I need some help rooting it. Z4root never roots it, its trys to run the exploit but then just closes and returns to the home screen and fails to root each time. Ive tried factory resetting and running z4root, but still no dice.
Any ideas guys?
Heres my system info if you need more info let me know the best way to get it and i will.
Thanks!

Unless something has changed, which is entirely possible, z4root uses the rage against the cage exploit which only roots FroYo. The generic 2.3 tablets are usually rootable with Gingerbreak or another program that roots 2.3. Try Gingerbreak or something similar.
If I were to get a tablet, I'd get a well known one that is already rooted with some developer support. But that's totally your choice, just giving you something to think about.

Tried gingerbreak to no prevail. Im posting on the Gingerbreak thread to see in anyones got any ideas. But i followed all the intrux but no dice again.
Thanks though plainjane!
Hi, got the same tablet.. yesterday...
found nothing online on how to root.
I can confirrm that Gingerbreak isn't working !
Not only does gingerbreak not work but i havnt been able to try superoneclick as i dont know if there are any usb drivers for this device.

check with this forum for the haipad m8, which contains a vimicro chip. To root the tablet, it is necessary to do a mix of gingerbreak and adb instructions :
ad hoc usb drivers may be available

I have also a VIMICRO VC882 tablet but a 7 inches version with 5 point capacitive touch. No luck so far rooting the device. Gingerbreak does not work and try to do something with Super One Click it's impossible because no driver is installed for the tablet or the one that it's installed only allows me to share files and nothing more.
Any ideas?? Gingerbreak reboots and installs superuser but rooting it's not successfull.
the funny thing is i bought the same exact tablet from the same seller (McBub) and it came to me already rooted, but it strange, most apps (like root explorer) will say no root, but super manager makes the SU dialog pop up and from then on i have full root access, but alot of apps says that my tab is not rooted, maybe because i really didnt have busybox on it, but that im not sure.
i have tried doing a factory reset from recovery (turning on while holding down Menu button) when it was done i installed super manager and enabled the root option in settings, then the SU dialog pops up allowing super manager full root access, like i said this tablet is strange but im happy for the most part, after all it's just a small tablet, we need 12 billion more TO RULE THE WORLD!!!!![/evildramalizations]
@ Lewcid if anything i can suggest to you a few apps/ideas to help you get the most out of the tablet
you guys find how to root this yet?

I have a Flytouch 6, same thing pretty much and I was able to get it to adb, superclickone says it's already rooted and i still pick continue, afterwards It added superuser but it doesn't root it for some reason.
to ADB it I Connected it to the Computer using the app USB Mass Storage Watcher. Then it asked for a driver, I picked the Google Driver that's included with Android-SDK
to adb or oneclick u must change usb drivers.mein find it as usb drivers.i download usb google drivers and at devices and printers i change them manual.at adb devivce info i grap these that i have attach. oneclick found it root it.!!but titanium no... su cant upgrated
oneclick root
these is the oneclick msg that i take.at the end the oneclick stuck!see txt file to unstuck i remove the usb
Someones gotta know how to do this properly. I hope someone can figure it out and post a step by step guide.
Ill work on this some more tonight and post my results if i can figure it out. I just havnt had time lately.

It would be great to get somewhere with this. Super manager does get full root, but nothing else.
EDIT: Ok, sussed it.
Run Gingerbreak and let it reboot.
Use Super manager to navigate to /bin. It will use superuser so you can edit files.
Once you are in /bin rename the sim link "su" to whatever you like. Save and exit.
Use gingerbreak 1.20 again and it now works - install busybox. Mine is now fully rooted without connecting to a PC
The link to another site posted earlier gave me the idea - he used adb but super manager works a treat.

Gunna Do this tonight. thanks for the info. Put it on the back burner till now. Ill post results.
I've recently acquired a Photon 4g and would like to root it. I've been using guides on XDA for a while now. Ive been rooting since the g1 and I've tied every method available for the Photon to no avail. I have the latest update so I think thats why the tordpedo method isn't working and I've tried both AIO roots with no luck as well. Can anyone give me any advice as to what I can do or point me in the right direction? Been searching the forum and google and I can find anything.
Side note, is it possible to downgrade and then root? Been searching downgrade on the Photon and again... no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You don't need to downgrade to root it. I used the one click AIO root on the latest update with no problems. And fyi you also need to unlock the boot loader on the photon, its not like how on other phones where once you root it your done.
Here's everything you need to know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20331544

Wrong, just for this person to ROOT the phone he/she doesnt need to unlock the bootloader.
For them to root the phone you need to before running the AIO root you need to enable USB debugging on the phone.
To enable you go to settings >> Applications >>> Development >>> then enable USB Debugging..
Good luck chances are good that this was your issue.

I also used shabby's AIO one click. I bought my MoPho and activated it. I think it happened during activation, but may have been right after, it updated immediately updated to the latest firmware. When I set up one of the things I did was enable USB debugging. When I rooted it worked perfectly first try.
I'm a MoPho-er

I used the method described by qbking77 in his youtube video.
Go to youtube and search for "qbking77 photon" Its one of the videos that gets listed.
Hope this helps.

I tried that. I've installed the proper drivers. enabled debugging and it still won't root my phone. I've been rooting for a while and I followed the instructions to the T.

You're not giving us info to allow us to help:
- Error messages?
- Screen shots of your PC's DOS window?
- Was your Photon new out of box? If not, hard to tell what may have done to it. Maybe flash back to stock.

I guess you don't understand what I'm saying. On other phones when you root them that's all you have to do to run custom roms. On the photon to run custom roms you have to unlock the bootloader unless its 1 of the 2 roms where you can be locked. I didn't say you had to unlock the bootloader to root the phone.
No problem, just seemed as bad advice compared to what the OP was refering to.
He was having trouble rooting, he is obviously new and it seemed that telling him to unlock his bootloader was only clouding the issue.
He/she was having trouble rooting, so what would cause that? Certaintly not the bootloader.
Im at work so i dont have my laptop to give the exact error but ill give a brief explanation from memory. I installed the 32 bit drivers on my laptop running windows 7. I ran the aio and when it says thanks to creator(i forgot who but my version doesnt say edgan) i make sure o have debugging check and proceed. It recognizes the phone and runs fine up until it says erasing all your ****. Then it reboots and says device not recognized repeatedly then says you should be rooted.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thanks guys for all your advice and help. I found my problem and I'm now rooted.
For anyone interested in the solution. I switched laptops from one with windows 7 to a xp laptop and every time the AIO said it was rebooting I unplugged my phone until it was fully booted then plugged it back in to be sure the program recognized it. Worked on first try with new machine.
I don't mean to post this question twice. I was wondering if anybody knows of a root method for the Coby Kyros MID7065-8 GB tablet? I have searched the web for a method and have found nothing. This is one of their newer tablet with ICS 4.0.4. If anybody can tell me where I need to start and what I need to look for I thought about trying to develop a root method for this tablet
Count me in too....

As the new and mostly happy owner of an MID7065-8, I too would appreciate information on rooting and modding this device. I bought it online, so was unaware it was not rooted (and Coby's website was no help). Because it's so new, it may take awhile for mods to appear, but as the tablet is a great deal, and even has Bluetooth, I suspect Coby will sell a ton of them.
I am interested in this tablet and would like to see if it's possible to root it as well!
How to change 7065 Build Properties?
Also need root method for MID7065, apparenty in order to be able to change a Build Property (GPS.enable).
I tried the Bin4ry method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 - and could not get it to work.
I thought I got the adb W64 driver part working OK - Device Manager shows ANDROID with the Google driver installed OK. Used this guide for that: http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/ However, CMD adb devices does not list the device.
Anyone alternately have a suggestion for changing the Build Property on this thing w/o needing Root?
Thanks for your help!

I also spoke with Coby tech support a few weeks ago and was informed that adb will not work with this particular model. Just an fyi for all those looking for rooting info for this tablet, a friend and I are starting to work on this issue and have no idea when we will get to the issue at hand. When we do, I will let you all know what the outcome is and will pass along this info when it comes available.

I was able to get ADB working on the MID7065.
First, I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983470
That got the ADB driver installed in Windows, but the device still wasn't being seen. Then, I followed these instructions starting with the 5th paragraph: http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
That did the trick.
I'm very much looking forward to anyone reporting a successful root of this device.
Success!

Yes, I can see my device now. Thanks!
After this I successfully rooted my Coby MID7065 with UnlockRoot Pro v3.41 (free download) at this site http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html. Installed the program, run it and in about one minute it was done.
Thanks everybody and I hope it will help.
Alternate Root Method
If anyone figures out a root method for the Coby 7065 or 8065 other than by using UnlockRoot or UnlockRootPro, then please post it here.
I started installing UnlockRoot but the installer bombarded me with junkware. I quit the install and went back to the previous restore point in Windows to get rid of whatever it managed to dump on my PC. I also read the posting at "https://github.com/CunningLogic/BurritoRoot#readme" by the author of BurritoRoot, and it further made me wary of UnlockRoot.

Hi there,
I just obtained a new Moto G which I am planning to use from now on, and I decided it would be beneficial to root my old phone -- Virgin (ZTE) Awe (N800) -- and try to gain some experience in the field of development. Mainly, however, I just wanted to upgrade the OS. I successfully rooted the phone using Kingo Android root; then I went on to try to install Cyanogenmod 11. However, it said my phone was unsupported.
Next step -- do it manually. So I downloaded the Android SDK and tried to get ABD running -- with no luck -- as I was trying to use abd sideload to load the OS file for Android 4.2 (but for Nexus 7). However, with failure after failure of trying to load abd, I has to ask myself: Will I brick my phone?
So, any thoughts? Are ROMs phone-specific? Can I get a better ROM for this phone? Would I brick it if I tried to load another phone's rom?
Any help/advice greatly appreciated!

ROMS are phone specific do your research google your phone virgin mobile awe n800 and after you type that just type xda there are roms for uour phone but after you root you need a recovery make sure your sd card will be sufficient to hold all of your backups and data
I just got a dopo 7" tablet from a relative and for the life of me cannot get it to root. I have been at it since 3-4pm (its 11:10 now) and no matter what
apk or .bat rootkit, or windows root exe i have tried from old guides and some new ("can root ANY android device 2014!!!") to youtube videos.
Yes I have the correct driver thanks to vroot downloading it.
i have unknown sources checked
debugging checked
tablet never sleeps/screen never shuts off
have it plugged into laptop via the cable the tablet came with usb to micro
root master apk failed
suggested root-rk29 tab rootkit each step it tried it could not find any of the necessary files needed on my tablet
(even after 3 restarts and 3 different methods)
vroot will try to restore data like the programs steps shows but as soon as it says restore started it immediately says restore ended and it gives an X in the circle and wants me to retry (tried 4 times)
tried doomlordz v4 rootkit and same as other rootkit it says the files arnt found and does the alternative methods and SAYS its completed but root checker still says its not
tried key root master mentions something about a cloud program but never roots
superoneclick becomes unresponsive for 20mins and does nothing so i have to end task (some says it freezes their phone/tablet) but my tablet acts like nothing is happening
I have tried googling multiple times only to find results related to 9" version (i assume newer)
So if ANYone knows a 95% guaranteed program/guide or something I would very much like to see it cause I have about reached my limit of patience on this thing
Please keep the guide simple as I have 0 knowledge on rooting other than reading up why I would want it or the common steps which did not work obviously...
What version of android does it have, 4.1.1 or 4.2.2? I have the same tablet and have been trying for about 6 weeks to root it. Mine came with 4.2.2. I have read that the 4.1.1 version has been successfully rooted. First off, you said that root master suggested root-rk29 tab but it wouldn't work. The reason is that rk29 is for a rockchip SoC and the em63 has an amlogic 8726-mx SoC. I have tried just about every root method I can find, both manual, oneclick, apk, and Windows scripts with no luck. I am hesitant to try modifying some of the methods because if something goes wrong chances of recovering aren't good. As far as I know, there's no way to create a backup of the firmware without root. I have talked with tech support at DoPo and to get a copy of the firmware I have to send in a microsd and they will put a copy on it. Of course after rooting the warranty will be void and I will no longer be able to receive support, but I'm not too concerned with that. Anyway, for now it looks like the best shot I have at rooting this thing is to modify the firmware and flash it. When I get a copy of the Rom I'd be happy to give you a copy. If you find a way in the meantime to root it please let me know.
If anyone else has any ideas or if someone with the 4.1.1 firmware could provide a copy I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

yup 4.2.2 so in the end till i see a working method im giving this 1 to my younger sibling and getting the nexus 7... hopefully itll be an easier and less stressful time. hope you get it to work.
I figured it was the updated version. They seem to have patched the updated version so most root methods won't work. It's good from a security standpoint, but I wish they would provide a way to root if that's what you want to do. It's a tablet, not a phone so locking it into one provider isn't an issue. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be happy with the nexus 7. That's what I have and I'm very happy with it. There's tons of support and custom roms. Rooting it is super easy too. I used wug's toolkit and I had it rooted, did a nandroid backup and installed twrp recovery in about 30 min. If you do happen to root the em63, or get a copy of the 4.1.1 Rom, please let me know. If anyone else has any ideas, or anything, please post. Thanks.
Hope this helps! I got it!
I hope this helps the EM63 users!

I was able to root my Gigabyte em63 with Root Genius with no problems.
I'm trying to find if anyone has a rom or if someone has gotten twrp for this model. My internal memory became unmounted or something because my total space is 0bytes making it impossible to do anything. Boots up in factory everytime and I can't install any apps.
Anyone have any luck?

Envizen has the stock firmware for the EM63 posted on there site. I don't know if it will work on the Gigabyte branded tablet but it does work for the Apex branded one without a problem. Just Google search for the Envision website and look for the EM63.
