Hi, i have a Netbook AKAI 7'' NBPC724. It has Android 2.2 installed. But as you can imagine it doesn't work really good. Then i want to install Lubuntu/Ubuntu on the Netbook and use it as a normal pc. But i cannot Root it, because it doesn't have the Debug Mode Option in the menu.
That's the question: HOW CAN I INSTALL UBUNTU?
I thought that as a normal pc also that netbook has a Boot Menu but i don't know if i am right and how to access to it.
Please help me.
It's not quite what you're looking for, but this thread has info about installing various Linux distros (including Ubuntu) on top of Android:

Exactly, it isn't what i am looking for.
Well, it's the best you're likely to get. Chances are the device you have is NOT a standard netbook, seeing as it came with Android. i.e. you probably can't access the BIOS or load a standard computer OS onto it. This is probably the only option there is.

I think it may be the same like Coby nbpc724 or nbpc824
So try this:
1.) USBDebug apk from Google Play
You can switch on/off debuf mode now
2.) z4root
[APP] z4root - xda-developers
but then? no recovery mode I found to install new Android. Good luck and tell us whe you have success

Unable to install MODULE, it says (please view the screen capture I posted in the thread)
Hi guys, I have a problem regarding my A13 android tablet device. It doesn’t matter if I will post the brand name of my tablet or whatever because what I only wanted to fix is this. When I follow every instruction written at this link, and following instructions 1-7, after reaching step 5 execute run.bat.
It displays the following image I screen captured. (And my tablet doesn’t reboot, it’s the sign that the computer can’t access my tablet.
View attachment 2445500
Obviously, my tablet is connected to the computer via USB cable after running the run.bat as administrator.
But what is the problem why it is happening to me. What can I do for this?
(Additional information: I already installed and followed this instruction on this same device with no error at all. But why does it happened to me even I installed this with success before. I don’t know and I know that I don’t change any system file on my tablet before, and I don’t know because, I have no idea why it happened? I didn’t change any file or modify file neither on my tablet nor from my PC.)
I hope there is an expert who can answer my question and give to me a solution. Thank you in advance if there is.

You need to install ADB. I'll report the post to the moderators to get this post in the right section.
I will continue searching for that

Alright then thanks for the clue, it’s almost 3 days now since I nonstop looking for solution for this problem. I know that it’s a harsh to think that even a simple problem like was I don’t know how to search and fix. I hope you understand that I am almost losing my hope to solve this problem. At least when because I have written and shared my question on this forum. At least I found new idea again.
I never expect that the answer is only to install ADB.
That is my next goal now, to search how to enable ADB on my PC. I know that this problem that I need to fix was only from my PC, because the USB debugging mode on my tablet setting is already activated. And I checked that a dozen of times already.
And if you found something about my post was not in a right section. Then it’s a thankful for me if you can help me with that, because this is just the first day of my life that I started using this site, except for reading a thread as a guest.
It didn't work
I already installed adb using this tutorial on the link <--- (I’m sorry I can't provide the link outside of this site because, I am a new user yet.) But still, because my tablet problem is the touch screen that’s why I am trying to install the module to fix my device touch screen. But the most important part was that from what I need is to touch/tap on a notification area on tablet to activate the “usb mass storage” button.
My PC can’t detect my tablet because I didn’t tap the “usb mass storage” button yet.
And I can’t tap it because that’s it, I need to install the module first to fix the Touchscreen to allow me activate the button. Oh God, this is so terrifying event.
:crying: :crying: :crying:
Did you try booting into recovery?
YES,

Yeah, my tablet can boot to recovery mode. Everything is okay from my tablet. The only problem was the touch screen and the unable me to install module by running the run.bat file.
The only way that I can boot to recovery is by using a USB laptop mouse. And entering settings>Backup & reset>Recovery Mode.
Tonight is the 4th day of my problem. And still I’m stuck up from Touch Screen Problem.
Is there any other way aside from using that module just to fix my touch screen?
I am not good using Linux, so if incase the other way to fix this was by using linux operating system. Then maybe, I should stick to using this module.
Hello XDA community, this is my first thread, i had never needed to post anything cause i always find everything im searching for in this awesome community... until now :crying:
Last week I got a new android device which is made by Polaroid, model: PSPR355, its a pretty low class device but I thought it would be enough for me.... then i realize I needed root permissions, for obvious reasons... easy I thought... i had rooted many devices...how hard can it be...right?... WRONG! :crying: . The first problem I encountered were the drivers..couldnt find em anywhere... fortunatelly i found a tutorial were i could install the drivers in a different way...although I took 2 days to do this...Ive been about 5 days trying to root my phone.... Ive tryied about 10 different programs with their different versions... and any of those rooted my phone, nor Oneclikroot, nor Unlockroot, etc, etc..... I really gave up trying to find something on the web cause i didnt even find the phone on its official site, so I came her defeated asking for any solution, idea, or if you want to help me with commands, a programm or anything else to root my phone, Im not even afraid of trying programming (Im trying to learn how to make roms, kernels, etc for this phone cause theres nothing on the web abou it but this is a theme for another time) if you wanted to help me i would really appreciate it, im a little desperate so anything would come useful thanks everyone and I hoppe you can help me!!! :fingers-crossed:

I would recommend trying the towelroot application. It can be downloaded from here, just click on the orange lambda to download the tr.apk file. Then open towelroot follow the instructions in the application. After the device reboots I would recommend downloading, Root Checker Basic form the Play Store and running that to make sure your device is rooted. Finally install SuperSU, and you should be good to go.
First thanks for answering so fast shimp208! And I guess I forgot to tell that I was in Mexico and Im using Telcel's network, I downloaded and installed the apk file but it doesnt starts I click the button pops up a black screen and then closes to the last app I used...any idea about this error...or if its beacuse of the carrier, by the way the device has Android 2.3.7 I dont know if it has something to do with this error

Does it present an error message of any kind before it force closes? Try uninstalling and then re-installing the application, and if that doesn't work go to application manger under settings, find the towelroot application and select the options to clear it's cache and data. The carrier won't have any effect in this case, and with it being Android 2.3.7 your device most definitely has a kernel build date before June 3rd, 2014.

No it simply closes without showing anything, and without even giving the "Force Close" message, i thought it was because i first installed it on the sd card, or because of not enough space but no, I moved it to the phone and uninstalled some apps I had, I uninstalled and installed towelroot twice and it didnt work, I installed the v1 of it and i got to the [make it ra1n] screen but when I click the button it closes immediately again without any error message

Very interesting, while in theory the app should work for any kernel build date earlier then June 3rd, 2014 the app many not be compatible with devices running an Android version less then 4.x.

Since you have the usb drivers working on your computer, try booting into the bootloader and using fastboot to see if the command fastboot devices returns anything. If the computer see's the device in fastboot that's a good sign. If your device doesn't have a locked bootloader which it likely doesn't, then I can try and create a rooted system image for you to flash in fastboot. Provided fastboot see's your device if it does, if you can provide me an adb dump of your /system folder then I will see what can be done.
Interesting for me.,.

Unfortunately if fastboot doesn't show your device without any other flashing utility, even with the system dump there is no way to flash a rooted system image if it was created.
Got to see if this guys do the trick!

Hello shimp well I connected my device on FastBoot Mode and my computer recognized it and it installed a driver named: ADB Testing Interface I dont know if thats a good sign or what should I do, I tried entering into recovery mode but it shows only an android little guy and exclamation quote... so I think it doesnt have a recovery boot I dont know if thats relevant, Could you help with the adb dump i dont know how to get it. And.... I dont know if besides you help me with the rooted system image you could teach me how I do this.... anyways thanks a lot for helping me! I'll keep doing everything you need so we can root this device!

Since your computer recognizes the device and installed the driver and shows the device when in fastboot mode that's a good sign. The Android with the exclamation point is part of normal stock Android system recovery, it just means that the recovery menu has been hidden (You should be able to get the menu to appear by pressing the power and both the volume buttons in recovery mode). To dump /system run the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system
Then please send me a link to the /system dump, from there I will make a rooted system image.
Factory Rooted??
Hey guys I'm new to this so I may be wrong but has anybody thought to check if the Polaroid PSPR355 comes Factory Rooted??? I had a Polaroid Tablet, PID something(I forget the name), which I tried for hours to root resulting in: bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, about to give up. So I Googled how to root Polaroid PID something (again, I forget the name), and I come to a post somewhere(forgot that too) that tells me my Tablet and similar Polaroid electronic devices(as well as most electronic devices coming from China) are factory rooted due to some Chinese law. So after the last hard reset, I downloaded HowToRoot App to check if my Polaroid Tablet is, in fact, rooted. I press the little lock button(root checker) and I find that, to my surprise, my Polaroid Table is in fact rooted. So all I had to do was download SuperSU from Google Play Store and Update Binary when prompted and I was Super User. Don't know if this helps but it worked for me.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a way to have root access on this device. I checked this topic (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...v-liftoff-zs570klpro-official-unlock-t3557276), but it did not work and the device crashed. I was able to recover, and now I would like a way to finish the job. Can anyone teach me? I thank you.

Please provide some more information. What did you do, at what point did it crash etc. Also, I think you would be better off asking for help in the thread you mentioned (reply to the original post).

I tried to comment on the topic itself, but it says that I am not allowed. I went to the part where it says flash bootroot.img, and then the device bricked. I was able to recover the system, and I would like to get root access.
Sorry, I forgot about the restrictions for new users. Ok, I suggest we try this a different way. But before we start, I need the answer to these 5 questions:
how did you unbrick your device?
what does Settings -> About -> Hardware Information -> CPU say?
what does Settings -> About -> Build Number say?
which operating system is running on your computer?
have you already got adb and fastboot installed on your computer (if you're not sure, it won't hurt to assume no )
(Note that I have some rooting and command line experience but haven't rooted an Asus Zenfone 3 ZS570KL myself yet and don't have one to try this out, so I can only help with generic steps.)
I got it! I studied with a little more calm and found some procedures on the topic that worked. Thank you very much!
Glad you found a way! Btw: If you want to thank someone, then pressing the small "Thanks" button underneath their post would also be nice, cos that goes into their profile so others can see at a glance that others have already considered their posts helpful. Enjoy root!
