Following the excelent post by member shanti77 here I was able to root my Medion P4502 (MD 98942; Android 4.4.2; Kernel 3.4.67) but with slight variations.
The main difference is that instead of iRoot I used Kingo Root. I know that some people would also prefer to use other options and therefore I decided to write this post.
Here are the steps:
1. Download and install Engineer Mode MTK Shortcut from Google Play
2. Open this app and under Log and Debugging -> User2Root tap on the Root button.
3. Switch on "Debugging Mode" on the phone:
-open Settings, then scroll all the way down to About phone. Once there, tap Software information, then tap Build number seven times. You'll see a notification alerting you that you are now a developer.
- go back to the main Settings page and you'll see a new entry for Developer options. Enable it and tick USB debugging option.
4. Download and install Kingo Root on your Windows box.
5. Start Kingo Root, connect your phone with USB in CD connection mode (not in Media connection mode!), click OK on the pop-up asking you to trust the computer and allow it to install necessary drivers in order to connect.
6. When connected, Kingo Root will recognize the phone as Lenovo P4502 and claim that it already is rooted. Don't be fooled by this and tap the Root Again button.
7. Afterwards update SuperSU apk (actual root access gatekeeper) installed by Kingo Root, set User2Root back to User (see p.2 above) and disable Developer Options in phone Settings (see p.3 above).

My Atrix is on 4.1.83 AT&T
I rooted using the GingerBreak
After rooting I ran the Gladenable script as per procedure in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373
It installed succeessfully and i clicked allow when Super User permission displayed.
Now when i try to install 3rd party apps like Amazon / Teamviewer, I am still getting the message "This application comes from unknown source and cannot be installed"
Am I missing something?
How do we know if GladEnable is installed ?
Is there any other option i have to select to Enable Sideloading?
I did see in the Super User Apps tab, 5 New Unknown Apps
Its all almost same time and detail shows
1. mount
2. cp sqlite
3. chmod
4.gladenable.sh sideload
5. gladenable.sh tether
So all above confirms GladEnable installed.
Is these 5 are correct or should i need to see more?
What happen if i run the Glad Enable again?
did you tick the box to allow unknown sources?
When I go into Settings > Applications > Development
I didn't see the option to Allow Unknown Sources.
These are the things i see..
USB Debugging
Stay awake
Allow mock locations
Am I looking at the right place?
Also Under Settings > Applications
I did see these Menus
Manage Applications
Running Services
Development
Double tap home launch
try running root explorer or titanium backup to verify Root access

Unknown Sources will be the First option in the Application menu followed by Preferred install location, manage applications etc. Make sure usb debugging is still on and leave it on! Run glade enable again just say no to them all accept the sideloading one. Give that a shot.
I had exactly the same problem. Download the app called root checker and make sure that you are rooted and have the busybox installed. Also, if you are trying to Run GladEnable.bat on Windows 7, make sure that you run it as admin by holding down control and double-clicking, like step 8 mentions. And last, but not least, make sure you have the usb on debbuging mode, you select the "None" usb option on the on your phone, and that windows uses the debbuging drivers when plugged in. I hope this info helps you.
Thanks everyone for the support!
I just reran Glad Enable and now I see the Unknown source under application menu.

5. Windows will detect the device, let it stabilize then extract A87 drivers to a location say "C:/drivers"
6. Now goto start type "device manger" open device manager, you wil find "android adb interface" right click upgrade drivers and lead it to a location of your extracted drivers, do the same with other devices you get with an exclamation icon. (dont worry if you dont find other devices, its fine)

Hello. This is my first post in this forum. (I'm Indonesian)
So I was trying to sideload an app to a ZTE ZXV10 B860H. I managed to get the apk file onto the box, all I need to do was installing it. The problem is that the system by default blocks app installations from unknown sources, and I can't find the setting that allows installations from unknown sources. Anyone knows how to enable installations from unknown sources? It's running Android 10.

I supposed you already have google play store installed.
Here's what I do
1. Install developer tools from google playstore on your TV
2. Open it and go to developer option
3. Enable USB Debugging
Install ES File Explorer on the STB
1. Install ES File Explorer from apkpure to your android phone
2. Connect your STB to the same WiFi as your phone
3. Go to ES File Explorer from your phone
4. Press on the 3 bar on the top left corner and search for network, press that and go to Android TV
5. Your phone will search for your STB and it will appear as IP Address
6. Click on it
7. Allow the debugging on your tv (I set it as always trust for easy installation on the future) and wait untill the installation done
8. Now your STB will have ES File Explorer
How to install apps to STB
1. Download the apk to your phone
2. Select the apk from ES File Explorer
3. Press More (the 3 dots on bottom right corner)
4. Select install to Android TV
5. Wait for the installation
6. Enjoy your app
Notes :
You can only install apk from this way since it won't ask for unknown source installation therefore you can installed Aptoide TV to your STB, BUT your Aptoide TV CANNOT install any other apps.
