So, I'm using Archos 5 IT, it triboots with the original Firmware (Android 1.6), a Gingerbread with the Cyanogen thingy from OPENAOS (Android 2.3.5), and OPENAOS Angstrom.
I have tried installing the ADB driver, but it never works.
1. I've got the SDK stuff + Java requirement, put my device on Debug Bridge setting, still no good.
2. When I plug my device in, Windows makes a funny noise and fails to install driver.
3. I point it to the driver (.inf) file, and it fails again. Says something along the lines of driver not being compatible with x64 (and the .inf file is the only one I've been able to find).
4. I've even tried adding additional lines to the .inf + .ini files that I found over the internet
5. I turned off driver signing
6. I even tried installing/uninstalling/reinstalling.
Nothing works. Always the same funky Windows noise followed by failure to install driver.
Any ideas guys? Also, is there any way I could get Loop Support for my device?
Thanks.
Before I forget, I've also tried other trouble shooting methods:
1 - force install ADB
2 - I've tried turning off driver signing
3 - disabled/lowered the UAC
4 - even gotten a 3rd party program to sign/force install the driver.
5 - set multiple variable parts for both "ADB" & "PATH".
6 - done all of the above with no restart, then again with restart in every combination available.
still no luck.
HELLO???? ANY HELP????
I find it hard to believe that out of 4,000,000 people on this forum, not one has a any idea.
I have used many different methods to root phones even a few tablets for friends. But I have bought a HKC 7 inch tab from walmart. Great starter tablet by the way. I have found no information what so ever on any forum about this model. It has decent processor power and runs rather smooth. Alas there is no way to root this thing to reach its full potential. I checked around on the net and found nothing, none of the one click apps work on this model. Adb does not recognize the tablet either. I've put in the tablet ID into the adb_usb.ini still no device found. I'm not looking for anyone to just hand me the root process on a silver plater, though that would be nice, but any help moving me in the right direction would be appreciated.
I rooted one of these for a friend at work,
sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/ is the root that I got to work.
and I've attached the driver that the manufacturer provided me when I requested a driver for development purposes.View attachment Rockusb.rar
Here is how I got it rooted
1. Installed Java JDK and Android SDK.
2. downloaded and extracted Manufacturer driver from Rockusb.rar and right clicked on the .inf file and selected install.
3. Opened Android SDK manager, installed Android SDK for version of tablet, and SDK tools, and Google usb driver from extras.
4. Enabled usb debugging mode on the tablet, and enabled unsigned apps to be installed.
5. Connected the tablet via USB
6. when the tablet shows up in the device manager as P771A I selected to update the driver manually, and selected the google USB driver from the android SDK.
7. Downloaded and extracted the android root I listed above.
8. Run android root and when it says "press any key to continue" it is waiting until the device connects to the computer again, as it could be rebooting, and one time when the tablet reboots, there is no text, just a black screen, but it does eventually connect and you can continue.
Also. I extracted the root to my desktop. when I ran as admin, it did not work, because the files were not on the administrators desktop, only mine, so it might be a good idea to extract the root to C:\ drive, so if you need to use admin, it won't fail
hope this helps

when in doubt go back to the forums. I can not get the inf in the rockusb to install. "Installation for this file type not permited" . So I'm stuck, the program will not complete. I'm on windows 7 so maybe the driver is for another system. If you can provide futher help, Thanks in advance.
New approach
Ok I cannot get the drivers to install on my computer. Window 7 seems to default to its own driver and will not let me install the rockusb drivers.
With that said, I have the system Update.img and was wandering if the img itself can be rooted and then updated to the tablet. If this is possible and anyone with the knowledge is willing I will upload it. Or if someone is really patient and would like to walk me through the process and I will attempt to do this myself
No Help
So with no help I assume this is dead. I have a usb driver package with an .inf file a .sys file and a .cat file but this will not install on my computer thus leaving without a clue and no help. Have seached for a way to force install this driver command line install right click and install the inf. Nothing works so if someone wants to throw me a bone, thanks, if not I guess this thread is dead.

Can't tell your level of PC knowledge so if you already know this don't get offended. The .inf is editable and there are areas in there that allow manufacturers to prevent installation on some OS's to prevent conflicts. Make a system restore point or better yet a backup and then post the contents of the INF somewhere and point the folks here to it and they may be able to help you edit it to install. Regardless, you'll have to use the "have disk" option instead of letting windows search for a driver even if you get the edits right. And the usual disclaimers about me not being responsible for any issues with your equipment as a result of this are in effect.

I was able to root using the instructions above although i don't think you need the rockusb drivers. You just need the usb drivers that come with the android sdk. I am on Win 7. Thanks for the above info for rooting.
I was able to install ROM manager and now proceeding to backup ROM and upgrade using this guide: cant post link as forum is preventing, but search for rom flash guide on androidpolice com.
Hope this helps.
Big thanks to this thread to get me going...!!!
?
could someone please, Barney style, Explain how I am supposed to select the android_winusb.inf because my steps are as follows. Right click on device p771a in device manager, browse my computer, let me pick from a list of device drivers, have disk, point to the google usb driver (C:/Android/android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver) select the android_winusb.inf open. Hit ok, (The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for you device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems). Hope this helps explain my troubles. Glad that my thread is helping others to root this device but it does not work for me.
Could it really be that simple?
Found in another forum about the nexus 7 when connected to the pc there is a presistent notification that allows you to change the connection type from mpt to camera which will give you adb access and the tool from this thread works great. Thanks for the help guys, got my root on

Glad you could figure it out...
I was not able to use the ROM Manager to backup the ROM since the device is not supported on this tool, but see below for how you can obtain the stock image.
I've tried to flash multiple different ROMs using RKAndroid to the tablet, spending days on this, with no success. The tool itself works great and I am able to flash the ROMs since it supports the RK29 chipset which I believe this tablet has. The stock ROM for this device is available from the manufacturers web site (the link is available when you go to Settings => About Device => System Update, hkcdigital dot com slash update slash update.img), if anyone would like to take the stock rom and upgrade it to Android 4.2/JB.
I was able to unpack/repack the stock image using the wendal image tools and modify / cook the ROM using Android kitchen method described elsewhere in this forum. Rockchip Batch Tool is another great utility to flash custom ROMs to this device. Also, If you put the ROM as update.zip or update.img file on the microSD card, the tablet will take it and flash the image as long as it is in the right format. Ofcourse you can put the tablet into recovery and restore from there as well. I've found that the stock image (update.img) has the following file/folder format when unpacked: /RK29xxLoader(L)_V2.27.bin, /package-file, /parameter, /recover-script, /update-script, /Image/boot.img, /Image/system.img, /Image/recovery.img and /Image/misc.img.
Is it possible to upgrade this tablet to Android 4.2 or atleast Jelly Bean? Would be very helpful if someone is able to do this. The most success I've had so far is with the custom ROM Oma_Odys_Loox_JB_4.1.1_v1.2.2a flashed using RKAndroid. It flashed the tablet fine, updated the boot etc. On tablet boot I am able to see the new logo, but then the it doesn't go anywhere from there. I think customizing this ROM or the stock ROM we should be able to get the new OS on to the HKC tablet. I've given up for now since I don't have the time to spend on this anymore. If someone is able to do this, please post the instructions or upload the custom ROM, as I am sure it will benefit a lot of people and will be much appreciated. Happy cooking!
Thanks!
jawadshaik- rom manager
If you have successfully flashed rom manager on this device could you post the steps you took to do so. What version? Manual flash? The program itself says there is no recovery for this device.
Sorry jumped the gun on that last post. Thanks for the info
What's the secret to keeping the battery from draining so quickly while it's idle? I just got this and see it drained about 40% in about 2 hours I think and I wasn't using it.

@jawadshaik
Just out of curiosity, when you were flashing that Rom that brought up the boot screen, did you do a wipe/factory reset from recovery mode before flashing? I have no idea if that would help or not, but most if not all roms require a data wipe before flashing... Just curious if you had tried this as I have heard of this happening on other devices because a data wipe wasn't done first. Might be worth a shot if you haven't tried it already, just a thought

So after doing working on this a while, I've finally figured it out. Here are some caveats:
1. You can't do this on a Mac or Linux box. Don't ask me why, you just cant.
2. You have to turn on USB debugging, change the Security to allow Unknown sources and MOST IMPORTANT: when you plug it in, you have to change it to "Connected as a Camera". Putting it in storage mode doesn't work!
HOW TO INSTALL THE PROPER DRIVER & ROOT THE DEVICE:
1. Follow the steps quoted above and download the Google Android SDK, and the Java JDK (from oracle.com/java).
2. When you first plug it in (use the USB plug labeled USB not the HOST one), it complains and will discover a P771A device. When it does, right click on your computer, choose Manage my computer, go to the device manager and then right click on the P771A device. Click "Update Device Driver". Choose "Browse my computer for Driver software". Then choose, "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". Browse to the \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder which you would have if you had downloaded and installed the Google Android SDK. A list of 3 drivers will appear when you click OK. CHOOSE THE "ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE" as the driver. None of the others work.
3. Run the root script batch file mentioned above which can be found here at: sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot
4. The root script isn't really great at explaining so I'll try. When you first run it, make sure your device is unlocked and on the home screen.
5. The first thing it will do is reboot your machine. Don't press enter until your machine comes back up.
6. After your machine boots unlock it and then press Enter again. Your machine will reboot. This time it won't seem to come up but the backlight will remain on.
7. Wait about 30-45 seconds then press enter again. You should get: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) in the command prompt window.
8. Press Enter. You should get:
remount succeeded
727 KB/s (22364 bytes in 0.030s)
Removing changes except ROOT...
Installing superuser...
2288 KB/s (843503 bytes in 0.360s)
9. After about 30-60 seconds, your device should reboot. You'll see a box briefly saying "Android is Upgrading" and you'll arrive at the lock screen. Press Enter to exit the command prompt.
Your device is now rooted and you should see "SuperUser" installed. I promptly installed "root uninstaller" to get rid of Facebook, Skype, and Youtube which my little kids don't need access to. This device doesn't have a bootloader or recovery mode so rooting it doesn't get you much besides the ability to uninstall the system software. Have fun.
This may help someone but on step 2 of the guide on the second page, after you right click your device and go to "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". You then click "Show All Devices" then "Have Disk..." Direct it to the root of the adt-bundle folder you downloaded then you can select from the three drivers. I'm on windows 7 32bit and the drivers didn't show up for me like how it was suppose to..
I also could NOT get any of the drivers in the "manufacturer USB" packet to install... I WAS able to install the google drivers, but that also would not allow ADB to see the device... So still stuck with everyone else...
P771A possible problem
I'm having a similar problem where the USB driver downloaded through Android SDK's -> Extras -> Google USB Driver, tells me that the file contains no information about my device. I noticed in the Sources of SDK, there wasn't an API for 4.0.4, only 4.0.3 then 4.1, so i downloaded 4.0.3 repo.
============================================
my devices is on 4.0.4, and my Kernal is as follows:
3.0.8+
[email protected] #8
Wed Aug 29 09:59:19 PDT 2012
Build Number:
P771A-user 4.0.4 IMM76D user.v402.007 release-keys
============================================
I've also made sure weather Unknown Sources is on, as well as USB debugging.
Might the Kernal be the problem? Also, does it matter weather its MTP or CTP?
Now HKC is telling me that they don't support the ability to jail break their devices

Im trying to root my kindle fire hd (version 7.4.8)
Every time i use Kindle Fire First Aide on the command prompt it says that i have a system path not specified error.
My laptop operating system is windows 8 ( I have not upgraded yet to latest version so I don't know if that's the problem)
Any Help would be appreciated
Steps I Used
1. Download KFFA
2. Opened KFFA using cmd
3. Used option 21 : Alternative root: newer devices
4. Says system path is not specified
5. It starts a daemon but thats all it does
P.S Im not sure but it also looks like i have a adb problem
I turned on the ADB with usb and used the adb drivers in KFFA but it never works
I'm having a similar problem.
I've had my kindle rooted for several months now, and I'm sure that I had turned auto updating off...however, this update (7.4.8) was forced on me a couple of weeks ago, and now I've lost the ability to usefully run Google Play (it keeps giving me a 'no connection' error). I also cannot update any programs that were obtained through google play.
A few things that I have noticed:
BusyBox Installer says that my Kindle is rooted, but cannot install BusyBox, or run any of the scripts.
KFFA cannot access my Kindle. I have tried several proceedures on the forums to rectify this problem, to no avail. I have tried with several cables including the original, and the cable that I previously successfully rooted my kindle with.
My kindle has started showing ads on the lock screen at times, which was something I disabled with KFFA when I first rooted my kindle.
I do have momentary adb access while booting, but it gets disconnected as soon as the lock screen appears and I cannot reconnect
same problem here, can't manage to root kindle with 7.4.8
RE:
Well then i guess it will only work if you brick your kindle to reboot over and over then root and use kffa to root it then unbrick it using it and i think it will work let me try
Successfully rooted Kindle Fire HD 7.4.8
Hi,
So this morning I reset to factory my KFHD 7.4.8. Clean start...
1/ install KFFirstAid from geekappz.blogspot.com/2013/02/root-kindle-fire-hd-and-2-with-windows.html
I did install the 64bit version on my windows 7.
2/ execute all installation steps of KFFA as explained in the link above until reaching C-1 root step 10 (do that step 10).
3/ connect your kindle to your computer via USB
4/ the runme.bat in KFFA depends on another system package called busybox. Great package but... you cannot install from amazon store on a fresh kindle, and the installation via the runme.bat does not work. I decided to do without busybox... So replace the original runme.bat in C:/KFFirstAid by the one attached. I edited the sections 18 and 21 (i "rem"ed some lines, and put the corrected code just below). I edited only these two options. (means do not ask about the others...)
(site did not upload the file, so here is a link to it... drive.google.com/file/d/0ByEA1ADGX9vNS2RKUEdKYnN6Uk0/edit?usp=sharing)
5/ launch "my" runme.bat.
6/ select option 21. This will root the kindle. Follow the instructions (including the full restore at the beginning). It will reboot quite a few times, just be patient... (very). Your kindle may seem up and running, but the adb communication may take a few more minutes to go through...
At the end, superuser.apk is installed, look for it in the command window log. When done, on your kindle, start supersu and let it update itself. Verify root access with root check basic.
7/ return to the main menu of runme.bat,
8/ select option 18. This will install google play. Follow the instructions, including the registration to google on the kindle, in the middle of the installation. During this registration i experienced a few "application stopped working", but it went through anyway... so do not panic...
Again, a lot of reboots...
That's all folks... (takes about two hours...)
Successfully Rooted KFHD 7.4.9
Still works for KFHD 7.4.9

I've searched online and found a few articles. I've tried following them but the steps say to change the USB setting from charging the device to transfer files (MTP) but I've unplugged and replugged my phone twice and there's no option for file transfer.
I've also downloaded Minimal ADB and FastBoot and the sites say to extract it into the root C drive but it didn't come in a zipped folder and when I opened it it showed up as the command prompt window. Typing in the command it says after you've installed it, it said it couldn't find what I was looking for.
So I deleted it and installed another one this one came in a zipped folder so I extracted it to the C drive and then the site said to open command prompt in the folder but I clicked on empty space and a few of the files and applications in there but no option to open command prompt came up.
I know I'm probably doing something wrong so I am looking for assistance.
After Package disabler Pro disappeared I really need another disabler app to get rid of Facebook and Chrome and others from my phone.
Thanks.
check out my old thread. There is a more or less a batch script, wich was for S7,
here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/debloat-galaxy-s7-services-safe-to-t3432967
fromt there you might come up with your own way, that you can post here.
Also I may do something similar on my S10 now.
Aroma installer helps a little, but I don't need those 100 other small spy & bloat apps.
Basically you need a list of all apps installed.
And sort them out.
If you have it rooted, there are multiple apps to remove system apps.
Wait, so you can uninstall apps installed on the system volume without having root? or were these apps that were not installed on the system drive?
