Hi,
I also would like to have this rom rooted if anyone can make it. I tried it with android kitchen but no success.
ykhehra1, you have market errors because you have set up your box via LAN, right ? Install the firmware again but don't connect LAN. Set up the system with WLAN-connection. So you can add your gmail account in the settings and make the market work. If you have got this you can change again to LAN-connection. Account-sync is not possible with LAN but the market keeps working. Dunno why but for me it works.
Hope this can help you until somebody can root the firmware for us.
For streaming use MXplayer or better DicePlayer.

Hi you can root this device
first open the usb debugger
ask the ADBpassword
Thanks Gerrit, the password is with regard to the number of ********
I opened this with 12345678
"USB debugging can * only * be used by connecting USB to the USB port INSIDE the A6." "The screws to open the case are under the 4 little plastic knobs on the bottom"
drivers that served me using win7 is the PdaNetA4126.exe
Then you can use any method of root, I served the UnlockRoot v 2.3.1
that's all

from what I previously comment so WIFI is active already rooted the driver should disable the debugger.
the market is working well on my device
Your question you could do a factory reset, do not think it is necessary to be root, only go to about tablet, sytem update, install system update and leave the device resets
I hope this helps you could send the new firmware? because I didn't see anything in the official page

First of all - if this is the wrong section, then i'm terribly sorry.
I have a serious issue with my Goclever A93 tablet. Some time ago i've decided to root the device as well as remove some of the useless, bundle apps however i do think i've removed a little too much.
The problem is the tablet properly uses the sync option to sync emails with my google account however i'm not able to download ANY app from Google Play Store. Whenever i'm trying to do so (either update a pre-installed app or simply download a new one), the download simply freezes.
IN other words, i select either UPDATE or DOWNLOAD for an app, then hit the ACCEPT & Download button and that's it. There is an information "Downloading ...", the progress bar is moving HOWEVER the download never starts!
I've tried a huge variety of solutions - i've updated the tablet's software (from 4.0.4 to 4.0.4 but a newer build), updated Google Play app to 3.5.19 (newest i guess), removed external SD card, did dozens of factory resets -still nothing.
I'm guessing, again, that i've removed too much system apps while in the root mode, nevertheless i do not know which ones i'm missing ;(
The device still has a warranty however if anyone has any idea how to fix the issue without sending the device for a repair - i'd be much obliged.
plz hlp ;( ;( ;( ;(
I had simillar problem after the root with my goclever. You need to do a full format via Livesuite. At the beginning the software ask for the format mode; manditory or upgrade you need to choose the 1st one and confirm twice. suggested upgrade mode doesn't help in case of this problem.
Thank you Pawel, unfortunately this is not the case :/
I've tried simply every method i found on the net - i've flashed the device using the newest IMG from goclever.com site (dated to 29072012), i've installed the newest G Play App (3.8.19 i assume), i've formated the device like bilions of times, removed the external SD card.
The only apps/games i can install from the market are those over 50MB (which require donwloading additional file through WiFi); i've managed to install Batman and some other games but only because the additional file was required for download. As for the rest of the apps - NO method works.
I guess i'll need to send this since the warranty is still valid
ok, found a solution. It turns out GoClever screwed the system IMAGE up. Reverted back to the older rom and it's working fine.
Ok I didnt find any thead about this phone.
I got it yesterday and its awesome it matchs the real thing and the best thing about it is that it has android. I was able to install google play after few hours trying and getting it work.
Anyway my question is that is there a way to have a have The dual system interface ie launcher and android? apparently the v2 of this phone which is coming with a nano sim has the dual system interface. So I was wondering if that is possible?
Also the phone came rooted.

Hey i also have this phone, bought from China from a friend, about a month ago. It is really exactly the same as the real thing apart from the logo on the back isn't similar at all. Apart from that looks identical. I has the iOS skin, and every application works just fine. The only prob i have so far is with the gps which cannot locate although i have tried multiple times on different map and navigation programms(did you have any problem with the gps or is just me?)
About the dual bout you ask i think it's not possible on this model and possibly not on the new model. You have 2 options about the android or iOS look but i don't think it's still possible as far as i have searched it.
With google play also no progress, didn't make it, if you know the solution please help me a bit. Thanks!
zophone i5
i order the zophone from androidforcheap please any idea how to root and install play store
Zophone i5 - Mobile Network Unavailable - however, Net10 sims recognized
Hello,
I haven't been able to find any info on this subject, so I hope that someone out there can help. I recently received my Zophone i5 - of course it's awesome looking and everything seemed to be working fine. When I first cut the phone on - an install happened - didn't get a great look at the fine print. Once the phone came back on - I saw the iOs interface, etc. I was able to change the language setting to English. My problem comes with picking up a signal/connecting to my network. I have Net10, the phone recognizes the sims, however after inputting the APN settings (from their site and others) I have yet to have any luck, Mobile Network Unavailable. I've called and rep said they can see the sims is activated, everything looks fine on their end, but until the phone picks up the network I can't get a number (no calls, sms). Wifi works fine, so I can get online. I tried straight talk sims first and the same issue occured. If I Root the phone do you think that this could fix the issue I am having? My Umi X1 - works fine with straight talk service, so I figured this one would work with ease as well. Any help would be awesome. I really like the phone and want to utilize it as soon as possible. Much thanks.

Hi mate,
You have to download snap-pea, you can find it in the web easily, then you have to connect the device with it, you won't be able to download apps from google play because you have not linked the device with a google play account (Im working on it) so you must use 1mobile market, just look for the app you want and click on install, thats it, you can also install this market in the phone and download from it, you should install aptoide also.
By the way, I have the new nano sim version, I don't know how to switch and there is not any dual interface neither options in order to select any system, so I keep on looking for how to link my zophone with my google account.
When I get it I post it, promisse.

Hi, I seek help with the following china tablet.
MTK6572 3G KT07 7 Inches
It looks exactly like the attached pictures.
I am seeking a proper rooted 4.2.2 rom or more as I am having problems with the current ROM.
- Unable to update Google Search
- Error - Package file not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.
- Unable to update Google Map
- Error - Package file not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.
- Google Play Service having problems
- Error - Google Play Services, which some of your application rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance.
- Cant even use launch Hangouts without the Google Play Services
I have a friend who has the same exact model does not have the same as me. But both our firmwares are two different versions although its on the same 4.2.2 platform. I have tried contacting the person who sold it to me and he said the supplier does not have the latest ROM. I suspect they only sell and would not get any support from them. Hoping that someone can actually help me on this. If possible, also to guide me on how to flash this phablet if a suitable ROM is found. Really appreciate it. Thanks you advance.
hi, any solutions for this? really appreciate the help. Thanks

If you use framaroot it will root you original firmware no problem... I have one of these mtk6572 tablets.... on a unrelated note, I really need newest version of software for this perticular phablet(KT07)... If by any chance you have it, That would greatly be apreciated...

Hey Guys,
I have a couple questions about this android box I purchased that's had me somewhat puzzled.
I have been an avid android user over the past many years. I am familiar with flashing tons of roms to all the phones I have had. Except my s6, it just sucks for roms. Anyways I have purchased the android box in this link (can't post links this new) I can't seem to fine a manufacturer website, I've Google a million things about the box and searched but I can't find anything. even in the instruction book there's no website or anything.
basically I'm looking to figure out how to at least update this box. there's no option in about device. also I don't like how the flash drive on the device is split into nand flash and regular storage. I would like to merge them all into one. I am also looking for custom roms that might enable me to achieve that, however nowhere I look has this box in their forums or anywhere. maybe it's a cloned box? there are other boxes that have the exact same components (or so they say) with custom firmware, however I don't want to chance it and rich bricking this device.
anyone that can offer any help or lead me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I just picked up one of these about a week ago and found instructions to install TWRP and update SuperSU. The box had 'root' out of the box but it was some specialized root based on an old version of SuperSU (1.93 I believe).
I have successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and updated to SuperSU 2.46.
Since this is just an android tablet essentially, does anyone know if you can flash these ROMs through TWRP?
Not to my knowledge, just use above tool. It will go alive once you are in bootloader with usb otg cable connected to win (of course with driver pack etc. installed). Titanium or else can do that, instead of trying to press reset button while powering on. Of course recovery will go back to default.

Are you running liamstears custom ROM or the 12/22 factory firmware?
The split internal storage is something I would like to do without, but I was wondering if it was changed on the 12/22 factory firmware?
12/22 firmware. Fast and stable.
Havent tried liamstears yet. Feedback if you do please.
awesome thanks! thats what I suspected when I was going through the firmwares for these devices. I just wasn't sure if the z4 rk3368 device would work on this one. I've seen a few brands with z4 and as I know with phones.. wrong brand and you're bricked lol. anyways.. I ended up buying a tronsmart vega s95 telos.. but it didn't come rooted. so I rooted it and now I'm getting play services force close and all sorts of bugs and errors.. maybe I'll just keep the z4. it seems to work better.
what link did you follow to get twrp installed?? same thing I'm guessing, punch z4 twrp in google and eventually come upon the right place.
12/22 factory firmware? mines stuck at Nov 10 I think.. it won't let me update using the rk settings app.. which is why I was fed up with it in the first place lol.
12/22 firmware. Unified 16gb App storage. More available with microsd card. Fully functional Kodi with channels, etc. 4k HEVC x265 movies. Youtube 1080p.
Easiest method to update rom is to put extracted update.img from zip file
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro/2016/01/download-latest-android-lollipop-511.html?m=1
on a sdcard / usb and boot. After about a minute into the Android desktop, system will ask for update prompt. Only applicable to system still with default recovery.
If you have some stability issues or with different recovery, you can backup your apps / data with Titanium etc. and then use above Factory tool restore new rom.
These roms usually come with their own recovery, but some modded ones with TWRP/full root, supersu and all. But you dont really need them.
thanks a lot man! I'm downloading right now and will test it on my box tomorrow after work!
I've tried 100 times and it just keeps saying failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (no such device)
I'm using my USB flash drive.
this is becomming a huge pain in the just to update I'm starting to think why this company can make these products and not have any support or anything for it . and that flash tool is in mandarin and I can't even figure out how to work that. I put in the update.img and press go.. but whenever I try to boot to download mode like you mentioned in one of the posts it just turns off the box.. this thing is literally a piece of junk. and so is this tronsmart vega s95.. same thing. it's extremely frustrating. whoever developed this z4 box did a really chappy job on the firmware.. and I do not recommend it to anyone..
If you had gone through the instructions pdf, it clearly shows how to change into English by pressing the World icon. Remember in bootloader mode the tv screen would be black, if you are using the tool. The big red button will turn into green to show readiness.
For automatic update you dont even have to go into recovery as seen in attached image. Easiest.
Hi Roland,
love to see that there are already XDA-members looking at the Z4 TV box. I have just ordered one and hope to get it within a few weeks. Just some dumb questions, hoping you can provide me with some information:
- I see that there are several 'versions' of the Z4: for instance Acemax, but I have ordered the Andoer. Are those just different manufacturers?
- Are there any differences in model/content (installed app's) per manufacturer?
- If my Andoer turned out to have an older firmware than the 22/12, could I still use the Acemax 22/12 firmware you refered to in your link?
- Kodi will be preinstalled, I saw. I do not know what version of Kodi that will be, but can it just be updated to the most recent version in the Google Play Store?
- I do not know what other apps are installed, but is it possible to de-install apps you do not need, or are they part of the firmware and impossible to delete
I know, part of the answers I surely will discover once I got the Z4, but I just can't wait to start experimenting, even it is only in my mind
Thanks in advance!
Jos
hi Roland
I tried that batch tool first which is the one I couldn't change languages in lol. but the other tool with the red button I changed into English. however I did not know that it would remain blank when in download mode. I will have to give it one more go tonight with it. I figured that I loaded it into bootloader and the z4 box light turned red so I thought it was off and didn't load to bootloader.
I also did the USB update and it would just fail on me every time I used it. the update prompt did come up and I pressed install. perhaps I need to check if USB debugging is on. I think it is but it wouldn't hurt to check. but I think I will have to go through the factory tool to update way for sure.
thanks for your help roland, I will write back after I give it another go tonight!
i can't find the 22/12 update ! can anybody share the link direct to firmware ?
@DriftJos
l have got an Andoer too. Most of these brands come from the same hardware factory and thus have the same specs/apps.
Yes you will use the same firmware https://mega.nz/#!JBBXgDgC!VSra8Hc6KR77Pvdw67eDpjeT_ku-TXdYgYaInSAfyvU (direct link @prisim) or several user dev roms. Unified 16gb app storage etc and the works.
You can uninstall bundled Kodi (by Titanium free etc.) by official Kodi Jarvis 16.0 beta 5 & such with pass-through support test builds @ http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852
Again you will be able to uninstall useless apps directly or through Titanium.

Always mention the firmware version you are having and which recovery? The automatic update should work if you still have the factory recovery.
Check the FactoryTool process in attached images.
I'm trying to flash the firmware that I downloaded from that China gadgets site that was mentioned on this thread. I think it's the stock 12/22 for the device. and I have stock recovery.
I extracted the update.exe file and saved it to my USB drive plugged it in and restarted. relieved the update prompt. chose install update and it rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update but it fails. I'm not ready to give up yet with this device lol. it's just another platform I have to learn. it took me a bit with smartphones to figure it out back in the day.. perhaps it's the same thing now..
and I'm updated to 12/22.. awesome. those pictures really helped me man thanks.
now as for installing twrp and all that. you mentioned that it's not really needed? I'm assuming I can flash any rom given they are in .img format using factory tool. however the benefit of twrp would be an easier interface for creating nandroid backups and clearing cache/factory reset. perhaps I will install it. i might give leamstears rom a try. I will let you know how it is if I do.
thanks again!
so I updated to the new 12/22.. everything works fine except with Google play store.. I keep getting a can't retrieve source error with everything I try to download. I've refreshed and factory reset the firmware 5 times now and kept trying.
so I got fed up with the stock so I tried leamstears rom and it works great.. except sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this box. even on stock firmware from the box I've been having issues with unresponsive freezing.
what do you think of the nvidia shield?

The PlayStore error you were seeing is because the 12/22 firmware comes with a *very* old version (5.2.x). The PlayStore will eventually update everything to the latest version by itself but if you don't want to wait, go over to apkmirror.com and download PlayStore 6.0.5 and install it manually. Once you do, it should also update the Play Services to 8.4.x and your should be good to go. I had this issue as well but I had seen it before and knew I needed to update.
So far the 12/22 version has been great, and having the unified internal storage is a huge plus.
If you feel so inclined, knowing that some of the custom builds of Kodi take up a large amount of space... there is this trick that was introduced in Helix:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change data location for Android
This will allow you to have only the Kodi app on internal storage (~125 MB) and any data from addons/programs etc. in another location (such as an external SD).
I often
1. Install Kodi on internal storage
2. Zip up the contents of org.xbmc.com directory
3. Copy it to external storage
4. Unzip it in /external_sd/kodi_data
5. Create the xbmc_env.properties file that references my Kodi data location.
6. Delete the contents of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.com/
Voila! You have freed up internal storage.... You can also persist a Kodi setup this way or run multiple custom installs. If you re-image your media box, you can re-install Kodi and as long as the xbmc_env.properties points to your external_sd with your Kodi data, it will start right up back into your setup... :good:
