Hey there, after reading this forum for awhile, I still haven´t managed to get a root on this device, tried framaroot, klingo root, iroot, and many more, i get the SuperSU app on the device but it doesn´t give root permissions to any other apps, have someone successfully root this tablet? or have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Version is Android 4.4.2
Kingo root
I found and downloaded "Kingo Root". I ran it from my PC with my Dragon Touch 10.1" A1X Plus connected and it says I'm ROOTED. I already had a root checking App on my tablet and it verified that I'm rooted. Later today I'll try some Apps that require root like Titanium Backup and some different games.
Kingo seemed pretty straightforward and user friendly but until I have time to do some testing I won't be able to completely vouch for this software. But, I didn't get anything weird on my PC nor tablet so far. I do have Avast running on my tablet and AVG running on my PC so I should be protected from malware and viruses. I suggest that everyone protect your devices prior to loading any software.
Kingo Root doesn't work!

After testing last night I found that Kingo Root doesn't truly root the Dragon Touch 10.1" A1X Plus. While for a short time my root checker did show that I was rooted, Titanium Backup and other apps were not able to gain root access. At one point I had to perform a soft reset to get off a blank screen. I have discovered that the ROM used for this build is from HTC so maybe the root software used for this should be something used for HTC phones and tablets. So, keep searching folks because Kingo Root is NOT the answer for root accesss...Sorry!
My grandmother just got a "Bright Tab" 10" tablet. As far as I can determine, the same generic Chinese company that makes the particular tablet that gets branded as Dragon Tab normally makes this. This appears to be an unbranded version of the exact same tablet (I think specifically for Walmart to reduce costs a bit. They also threw in a lovely malware called "Google 12.0" that shows annoying popup ads frequently and slows down the whole system...) I noticed it even had a "DragonFire" and "DragonPhone" app in there.
Anyway, I did get it rooted. First, KingoRoot seems to sort of temproot. However it does appear to have an actual writable system partition, not one of those read-only images with a hybrid overlay mounted on boot as many systems do. So here's what you do. Run KingoRoot's app to temproot. Install SuperSU or your favorite SU app from the play store and while temprooted, manually install the real SU app to /system via the settings. Then remove the KingoRoot stuff (disable the KingoApp app temporarily to stop it from trying to take over, then you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup assuming all goes well.) After all of this I seem to have true root and can now install Greenify, Xposed Framework, and so on.
I was hoping to find at least a CWM/TWRP option for this thing (I know CyanogenMod or any other AOSP -- or even a cleaner more proper build based on the stock ROM -- is impossible, but at least a proper recovery would be nice.) So far no good though.

It appears that your method works. I was able to perform all of the steps except for the manual install of the SU app into the /system. But all of the apps that I've tried that require root access are working. I'm still evaluating the outcome but so far so good.
Glad to hear it worked at all. Maybe try again after a reboot now that the alternate SU app has taken over? Oh, I think I had actually run Kingoroot first before running the alternate app. Since it's a temp root you have to rerun it every startup until you get the alternate installed into the system I guess.
My grandmother finally listened to me and will probably be taking that tablet back now, so I can't really mess around with it anymore to give any specifics. I convinced her to get something else that I think will make her a true Android convert instead of just wanting some little side thing for reading only, so one way or the other that thing is probably going to go, lol.

I just spent a couple hours trying both the iRoot and KingoRoot methods on a TabletExpress Dragon Touch M8 with Android 5.0 without success. I got to the point where I could open SuperSU, but then SuperSU wanted to update the binary and failed. I tried the KingoRoot tethered and apk installations. I tried using KingoRoot's Superuser App. Nothing worked. And Cyanogenmod is still a no-go.
Did you get kinguser? Or did you install supersu?

I think i found a solution after messing with my dragon touch m8... use iroot and make sure when you connect the m8 to your computer you have the usb debugging checked...unlock the screen before you plug it in and when iroot reads it you should see a pop up on the screen click ok and click reconnect it worked for me

I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated
and i now i'm kinda stuck.
I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!

I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.
OS version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version:3.4.5
Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122
Might try and install CWM recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip if all else fails.
I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).
This is a lovely little tablet for the price that I paid. It would of course be much cooler if I could get root access to it. Google hasn't turned up much help, and I have tried a ton of "one click" type solutions. I can't get the ADB driver for it anywhere either. Windows update, of course, can't find a suitable driver.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to do some research on this? it looks as if I'm the only one on the planet with one of these tablets :laugh:
i found out that mine came rooted. try installing super su from the play store or any of the root checkers.
if not, then use kingoroot, but with caution. it installs it's own su access app that is a slight hassle to get rid off, but i managed.

did you try any of the root checkers? and also try superuser by chainfire. kingoroot was pretty easy and any drivers is "needed" it downloaded. again, kingoroot does root many devices, but many are wary about what it might add in the background. pm me if you need more help and i'll try my best.
So, I've tried probably EVERY method for root. I've used iRoot, King Root, Kingo Root, Towel Root, etc. and none of them have worked. Has anyone found out how to root this tablet?
I'm just commenting because ive been trying the same. I'd like to know an answer also.
I'm also looking for a root method. It's very worth it.
I have tried to root my tablet also and cannot find a way to do it. Please, someone help to root the DL718M
I've got root
So there is another thread here on XDA where another user was able to get root with KingRoot apk one click root v 4.8.2 that you can get by searching for it here on XDA. I was also successfully able to root the device and also switched to SuperSu instead of the KingRoot app as it is kind of notorious for being a bit shady. This was done with the app SuperSu me pro from the playstore. It was all fairly easy to do. Only thing is I can't figure out how to get custom recovery and or Xposed framework to work. But all other root apps work such as changing font, root explorers, etc.
I've done exactly that without any success. I've tried KingRoot versions 4.8.2, 4.8.5, and 4.9.0.
I have the same build, kernel and model, and I've turned on Debugging and turned off "Warn about potentially harmful apps". I have tried each version of K.R. 5 time each without any success. Any tips?
Didn't work for me...

Is there any easy way to root this, preferably without pc?
is there anyone know how to root Huawei Union Y538 Root? i looked through xda but cant find anything thanks in advance.
I had partial success using King Root download for android. It rooted and successfully installed the king root su binaries, however Titanium Backup complained that this version of the SU binaries may cause trouble on Android versions higher than 4.2 (or something to that effect. My Union runs Android 5). Titanium backup was never successfully able to clear system apps or move apps from the user space to the ROM space. I attempted to use SuperSu-Me to replace King Root, but upon the script's completion and prompting to restart, the device completely failed to boot past the Huawei logo. Thankfully the device was still new enough that I was able to take it back to the store without question.
Your mileage may very, but be careful and take a backup of what you can.
Kingroot works fine. As for the moving of systems apps I wouldn't because the LOCKED bootloader and kernel check that on boot and will make the device boot loop permanently. (Or until fixed since it is just a soft brick)

I successfully rooted with KingRoot. However, nothing seems to allow me to enable the native hotspot (build.prop edits, etc). Nor am I able to successfully broadcast or enable hotspot with any 3rd Party WiFi tethering apps, including FoxFi, Barnacle, or even paid WiFi Tether Router!
Any success stories or suggestions out there??
If not, does anyone know if the ZTE Speed or Alcatel OneTouch Elevate are native hotspot enabled or capable of tethering with 3rd party apps? I know the Moto E 2015 is native hotspot enabled and is somewhat easy to work with.
Thanks!
ZTE Speed has native hotspot. But i couldn't get it rooted.

I successfully got native hotspot by doing the following:
Root with KingRoot
Download Shortcut Maker (Lite) from the Play Store
Three dots on upper right -> Search... -> Search for cham -> Launch Chameleon Payload Maintenance (com.huawei.sprint.chameleon.ui.NodeCategoryListActivity) -> Allow root
Settings -> TetheredData -> Edit -> 4
I performed these steps but when I try to launch the Chameleon Payload Maintanance nothing happens.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

The only other steps I did on my phone:
my futile attempt at installing openchameleonnode apk. That one would always open to a blank screen and quit. (people mentioned it worked on various phone makers)
installing QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store because Shortcut Master (Lite) told me su not found. That one gave me a not enough permissions warning, so I decided to root.
Did you get a request by Shortcut Master for root? If not, maybe try one of the other Chameleon Payload Maintenance on the list (there were several)?

It seems that Purify was the one causing the issue. I went to general settings and disabled "Keep Root Access" and "Auto purify" and rebooted the phone.
After that I was able to launch the shortcut and make the change.
Thanks a lot for your help!
What provider are you using. I am on Boost. Will that allow me to use my unlimited data plan as a hotspot instead of the 8 gigabyte tethering
Purify had issues I think it's something with (zone-libentertainment).

Guys,
I would like to remove "Google Play Books" and "Google Play Games" but tried a lot of apps (Titanium Backup, Purify, ES File Explorer, NoBloat Free, Uninstall, Root FileManager) and none of them was able to remove them.
I'm no expert but It seems that "/system" is mounted as ready-only so I'm not sure how it would be possible to uninstall them.
Did you guys had any luck removing system apps after rooting with King Root?

I can send it to Purify`s recycle bin as well, but I cannot completely remove.
When I try to do it one of those two things happen:
1) I get a message saying that the remove fail.
2) I get a message saying that the remove was successful but the app returns to the list of installed apps.
Are you able to completely remove?
Thanks,

Kingroot works fine. As for the moving of systems apps I wouldn't because the LOCKED bootloader and kernel check that on boot and will make the device boot loop permanently. (Or until fixed since it is just a soft brick)

I know Kingroot works fine.
But

" I attempted to use SuperSu-Me to replace King Root, but upon the script's completion and prompting to restart, the device completely failed to boot past the Huawei logo."
