I've got a cheap Chinese tablet (WM8850-MID) running Android 4.0.3 based on WonderMedia 8850 processor.
It's not rooted.
Here's what i found:
/system/xbin/su is present:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 0 0 68528 May 14 11:07 su
But I can't run su in a terminal:
su uid 10064 not allowed to su
Using adb.exe I have the same problem with uid 2000.
There is a script /system/etc/init.sh which is called a boot time, but If I modify and push it via adb it won't execute (lost execute permission)
adb reboot-bootloader does reboot the device, but it does not stay in bootloader mode and just go straight to Android.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a way to root that device ?
Try ./adb root to run as root.
Use oneclickroot.

I forgot to mention "adb root" says I'm already root.
If I copy files with adb push, the owner is root, but If I use "adb shell" I'm user uid 2000.
This is a new tablet, but I'll give oneclick a try anyway. Thanks.
I've just tried SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0. It says it's already rooted because it can find /system/xbin/su, but I continued anyway. It can copy busybox (temp) but cannot change the permissions and it stops there.
Try resetting your tablet and if the su binary is stil there remove it. After resetting retry with superoneclick.

Thanks, but how do I delete it since I don't have the permissions? In case it's possible, is it safe to remove the su binary? I have no way to recover my firmware...
Use ./adb root to remove it because you will be root.After removing it reset your tablet to factory settings. It is safe because the su binary is not part of the os.
Then try rooting with oneclickroot.
Hope it works for you.
i also bought wm8850 tablet in china..can you teach me how to root in detailed its my first android device....i dont understand the other terms u are using....
Hi jallaine12gil,
I think that you should first try to root with oneclickroot. Post if it worked or not. Oneclickroot is a rooting program for android devices.
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard
if camera is in the top centre of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
if camera is in top right of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard

Hi!
why not use RootBurner for WM8850? The rooting procces is similary to firmware update!
Extract the archive into sd card and insert into tablet and Power ON!

How to get adb working on the wm8850?
Hi, sorry to interject with something semi-unrelated, but how did you guys get adb working with the wm8850? I've added the vendor id to the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini on mac, but adb still can't find the device. I used 0x0ea0, is this what you guys used?
Any advice would be great!

Hi, friend
Sorry, how do you root??
Hi!
First of all, I have tried to update my Honor C3 system updates. Then I noticed that I have completely lost root access. They removed su binary. LOL.
Then I tried to root again my Honor C3 with VROOT and it is OK again. But I can't overwrite system files such as changing system DroidSans-fallback.ttf fonts and also installing framework of Xposed (Overwriting app_process). I can't even delete system files also.
I searched for firmware files for my phone and I can't seems to find it. There is root access and I even test it via Terminal Emulator app and from ADB. Calling su binary in Shell was OK but I can't access /system well. Help me.

It's probably either because you need to update the SuperUser binary (go into your SU app and it should prompt you if you do - or switch to SuperSU if you are using SuperUser) and / or you need to use a file explorer (or adb) and mount the system as RW.

I rooted my strange tablet using Kingo and apparently it was succesful:
http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t539/talos910/Screenshot_2015-09-11-17-08-20_zpsurdgzj8p.png
But I have been trying for days to erase a file in /system and I have not been able to do it, I think I have read every relevant thread about this problem but no luck, I tried using ES and changed /system to r/w in the root options but when trying to delete the file all I get is operation failed, the same happens with all the other root explorers and tools. I even tried the solution on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/edit-replace-write-files-set-immutable-t2884172
but still can't delete it.
Also the app root toolkit for android gives me this weird error too:

Do you have an app like root explorer that specifically asks for root permissions? It doesn't matter if you have root if the explorer can't use it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes all the file manager apps I used always ask for root permission, that is the problem they have root permission but still can't delete the file, which is weird because I can use apps that definitely need root like scr screen recorder and greenify just fine.
Try installing root explorer and then attempt to delete the file, then it should instantly open a window asking for root. The of course grant the permission. That should always work, but if it doesn't just restart the tablet, if it still doesn't work it must mean you are deleting a file that is in use by the system. Otherwise i have no idea whats wrong

Rooted my device using kingo root, I didn't intall other recovery.
Bad idea to try and remove system files without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup made and stored in a safe spot. What are you trying to remove?
I am trying to delete /system/sbin/su because I read in another thread this was the solution to fixing the issue of the app supersu not updating binaries when rooting your device using Kingo.

That is the binary. If you remove it, you wouldn't be rooted. Can you link the thread you are looking at? There's an app made specifically for replacing that su binary with SuperSU and it's binary called Super-SUme, though I believe it is a paid app.
I know it is the binary but according to this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/support-update-failures-t2907365/page23
(post 223)
""It appears kango wrote to /system/sbin/su whereas supersu wrote /system/xbin/su and subsequently supersu would keep wanting to update 'su' then fail.
The long and the short of it is once I manually removed /system/sbin/su supersu stopped telling me 'su' was outdated. I don't know android but I do know linux.
$PATH on my tablet has /system/sbin/ prior to /system/xbin/ so it would appear supersu is issuing 'su -V' as opposed to '/system/xbin/su -V' when it checks the version. The kingo 'su' was older than the supersu 'su'.
Dunno what the solution is 'cos the older 'su' is going to get called first & I figure there's nothing but trouble to be gained from changing $PATH globally. Nevertheless it might be enough to check $PATH for unwanted 'su' and flag them, possibly offer to remove them? In my case I renamed it "/system/sbin/su.ORIGINAL" so that it's still runnable in an emergency"""
If you rename it, it won't be able to run, and won't require removal.
That's the thing I can't rename the file either for some reason. Using es and other root explorers doesn’t work.

Seems like the SU binary that Kingroot included is pretty finicky and only works for some things. I've rooted 100s of devices and have never had issues like that. Have seen complaints about other various oddities with Kingroot too. It's nice that it's easy and works on a variety of devices, but if you have only limited control then that kind of defeats part of the purpose of rooting it...
Tried using SuperSUme but the app says I am not rooted with Kingo? wtf? Do you guys know of any other reason why i can't erase the system file sbin/su?

With Root Explorer, does it let you set the system to R/W? There's a little button at the top of the app that will say R/O or R/W for Read Only or Read Write. If you don't have R/W to the system, then you are unable to make changes to it.
I just renamed file su and then it became able to be deleted.

Connect your android tablet device to your windows computer. Then enable usb debugging on your android tablet. Then open the windows program called cmd. Then do these commands.
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell rm /system/sbin/su
-------THIS GUIDE IS NO LONGER NEEDED------
If your on a rootable version follow the guide and instructions to install a pre rooted Firmware, with Rbox's custom recovery.
This I supposed was good to use to have SuperSU before we had any type of recovery.
-----UPDATED V3-----NEW DOWNLOAD LINKS-----
*PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FULL GUIDE BEFORE STARTING.*
FIRE STICK Replace King/o Root with SuperSU v3.
Thanks @joojoobee666 for his suggestions on layout of the guide to try make it more understandable to folk and also to incorporate a step into the script to make it a little easier still.
First off i am not responsible for your device, if you want to wait for a custom recovery (if one is even being made) that is your choice. Ive spent 2 days trying all possible ways to accomplish this and made it as easy as i could for you.
REMEMBER GUYS, the process for this to work is root with KINGOROOT - reboot-root with KINGROOT - reboot - run the commands - uninstall KINGOROOT. Failing to follow the order of the steps could soft brick you.
Prerequisites
Fire Stick
Fire OS 5.0.5 (if your on anything other than 5.0.5 use my other guide to downgrade to 5.0.5 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-downgrade-firestarter-3-2-t3399298 ) dont forget to block updates again.
An understanding that 2 separate root programs are used in this guide KINGO ROOT and KING ROOT.
Installation Procedure :
You must follow these steps exactly as they are here, any deviation from this could cause you to brick (which is undo able so dont worry too much)
If you are not already rooted you need to root with KINGO ROOT. Once rooted reboot your Fire Stick. download it from here :
https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm
Your now able to follow the guide after you Root with KINGO ROOT.
Procedure
1.) Download the rar file containing the scripts and APKS:
http://www.filedropper.com/firestickroot_2
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=73723140467469181970
http://www.megafileupload.com/7nfv/firestickroot.rar
2.) Extract the file pack in the rar to /sdcard on your Fire Stick, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THIS. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE FOLDER STRUCTURE CORRECT OR IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. YOU SHOULD HAVE /SDCARD/FIRESTICKROOT/CONTENTS . Inside the firestickroot folder you will see KING ROOT, install this and open it. Grant any permissions to it and let it take over root. When its finished, reboot your Fire Stick.
3.) Open an ADB Shell connection to the device. You should now see a prompt like this:
[email protected]:/ $
4.) Run the "su" command and choose "Allow" when prompted by KINGROOT on the screen. If successful, you should now see the following in the terminal:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #
5.) Run the following command:
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
if successful you should see something similar to this
[email protected]:/ # sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh

-----------Your Welcome--------------
6.) Run the SuperSU application, go to settings and un-check Enable Superuser then re-check it.
7.) Reboot the device (either hold play and select or run "reboot" from the ADB Shell prompt)
8.) Open ADB Shell once again and run "su". This time you should see the SuperSU prompt asking to allow the ADB Shell process to run as root.
9.) Uninstall KINGOROOT
10.) If you have any reminents of KING ROOT installed uninstall them, if it wont let you uninstall, re-install KING ROOT but DONT OPEN IT! then you can uninstall it.
IF YOU RUN INTO SOFTBRICK ISSUE (stuck at fire tv logo)
Make sure you have ADB drivers properly installed in your windows pc/laptop.
connect a genuine usb lead to the firestick/pc.
download the windows version of KINGO ROOT and install it.
open KINGO ROOT on the pc with Fire Stick connected up to pc and tv.
wait for the button to pop up and click root.
if you dont see AFTV or get enable debugging in the KINGO ROOT program on pc/laptop please unplug the stick from usb and replug it back in.
if this still wont work restart the pc/laptop or try another pc/laptop.
you should after clicking root boot back up into your homescreen, if it doesnt boot back into your homescreen automatically, wait around 5 minutes and unplug usb and re-plug it again.
Thumbs up if ive helped
If anyone can make use of another app from chainfire, Flashfire, as it now will work with chainfires Su binaries installed. The app allows for backup/flash all partitions/install zips etc. Im not sure if its fully working or maybe an older version might?
Anyway ill leave that for anyone who might want to test that app out.
*IMPORTANT*
If you still cant seem to manage this, delete he associated KINGOROOTS SUPERUSER manually, then right after you have installed KINGROOT and rebooted navigate to /system/xbin and delete the file daemonsu. When the script finishes run it a second time, if you dont get chainfires SuperSU installed manually install it. This is included in the script to carry out this task but seems it wont work for everyone.

Ive re done the guide made it much simpler, spent 2 days on it trying all ways to brick my device in the process and could not brick it no matter how hard i screwed up.
This newer guide should work 1st time if followed correctly, and you will be shot of Kingo/o Root.
Im real sorry but to make a custom recovery is a little beyond me.

The guide has been re done again by myself as it was far too long and although there was zero chance of bricking (with the use of Kingo Roots windows tool) ive put v2 together which is much simpler and all in a single script you will have no chance of any brick, with success the first attempt
This guide is for Fire Stick 5.0.5, you need root access with KingRoot, so if your rooted with Kingo Root please update your root app with the KingRoot apk in this pack, it will take over your Kingo Root and use King User.
Please note, you must root originally with Kingo Root, restart then Re-root with KingRoot then restart again, if not you will find that after a restart you will get unrooted.
Also be aware, if you have followed this through and still after a restart you are unrooted navigate to /root/system/xbin and delete the file daemonsu, then try again.
Download the pack here : http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=02940258229221060594
Extract it in your Fire Sticks /sdcard directory.
You should have a folder in your Fire Sticks /sdcard directory called firestickroot.
Ive noticed myself that if im at the standard fire tv stick launcher sometimes king/o root fails to grant permissions so for the next step be aware and maybe have firestarter/app starter launcher loaded up.
Connect your Pc/Laptop/terminal to your fire stick and type the following commands. (grant permissions to all)
su
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
Thats it, the script will remove KING ROOT and all associated files and install su binary and SuperSU apk.
Once you restart make sure you are using ChainFires SuperSu and uninstall Kingo Roots stuff.

Should I be completely removing KingoRoot BEFORE running this script? If so, the instuctions hould mention it. As of now, I'm afraid to do so for fear of bricking this thing. Any thoughts?

As the guide says if you have problems navigate to /system/xbin and delete daemonsu
First make sure you are rooted with KINGO ROOT - reboot
Second install the KING ROOT apk in the pack you downloaded and placed in /sdcard. let it take over root and should install its own King User apk. - reboot
Third step :
su
sh /sdcard/firestickroot/root.sh
The script is no way bulletproof but it works, if anyone would like to moddify it to better suit Fire Stick that would be great. As for bricking, i understand that nothing is 100 percent fail proof as in root etc but the way this script is set out ive tested it for 2 days uninstalling root re installing king/go in different combinations and could not brick my stick, i got a few restarts but that was all. The v1 guide i did had higher chance of bricking (trust me i tested the crap out of it) and everytime my stick failed to boot i plugged it into my laptop and ran either kingo or king root windows versions and it re rooted and got me back up and running, everytime.
I tried all different combinations to try brick and not be able to bring it back but always did.
The v2 guide here what your using i couldnt get my stick to brick once.

I tried all different combinations to try brick and not be able to bring it back but always did.
The v2 guide here what your using i couldnt get my stick to brick once.

I initially WAS rooted with Kingo, re-rooted with King and rebooted, then ran script. But it FAILED to complete so I didn't try the removal of deamonsu since it never completed. Is that going to fix the error I received when installed Superuser.apk? That error seems to be unrelated to the leftover daemonsu as it's in regards to a conflict with packages installed from KingoRoot. Review of the scripts shows that they in NO WAY remove that application (com.kingouser.com) so I imagine I will end up in the same spot....If I get there. I'm currently stuck on "fireTVstick" logo after trying to Re-Root with Kingo as you suggested. I don't think this looks very good...

OK, run the windows version of KingoRoot on your pc/laptop. if it fails first time unplug usb then plug it back in and it should root you and get you back up and running.
Its failing to complete because the daemonsu file is there. Delete it and the script will finish and uninstall KingRoot.
Nowhere in the guide says you must install SuperSU apk, the script does this for you. All you should be left with when it completes is KingoRoot and a newly installed SuperSU apk v2.01

Definitely want to know if everyone is having success, i did not make the scripts used here, i just slightly modified them and merged more instructions.
Everytime i run the script it works and if it wasnt for the fail safe of Windows Kingo Root i would not of put the guide up.

Hmm...I'm not having any luck with the KingoRoot windows app. It's not even getting to the point where it can fail. "Connecting...Please enable USB Debugging mode" is where it's getting stuck. If I remove the fire stick and plug it back in, nothing happens in the program. It still just sits at that screen. I can adb into it but I do not get root (of course). Should I maybe relflash the 5.0.5 update.bin I have sitting on the SD card (if possible)?

Just restart the KingoRoot app and plug unplug firetick and plug it back in, it will eventually detect it.
If not, run kingroot windows tool if that works then ok, if not dont close it open kingoroot up and then try, you will get it detected it happened to me a few times when i did v1 guide

I think I've done all that over 10 times, same thing keeps happening. The one thing I have gotten twice is a window titles "Notification" that explains that I will need to allow debugging on the device for the app. Obviously, I cannot do that. It eventually goes away on its own then hangs at the aforementioned screen again. Any other suggestions?

I was just in the middle of installing the KingRoot app. I ran it and it said it was successful. Should I just reboot now? (side note, there is not daemonsu in /system/bin currently)

If it wont start up in a few minutes yes just unplug and plug it back in.
Like i said, i would not of put guide up if there wasnt the failsafe methods of KING/O for windows in place.

That was the only reason I decided to go for it. However, It's still stuck on the fireTV Stick logo...after multiple reboots

Let it sit there a while, will probably go to optimising screen.
If it wont re root it with Kingo/king on pc and dont restart after, just let it sit and it should go to optimising screen.
Hello guys,
i've ended in here from another thread which is locked LINK
As the OP of the thread, i've tried several 1-CLICK root apps (both Android and PC) with no luck (Mine is also as gift from mobile carrier).
I have screenshot of "Version" sub-menu, from something called "Factory mode" also i can access the tablet via fastboot and adb (see attached pictures)
Any suggestions?
No one?
I root it using http://www.kingroot.net for PC. Enable. Developers option, then adb USB whatever it was... And should work.

Well... Kingroot worked yesterday. Idk is because i've downloaded latest version or that i've added it as device administrator (also disabled built-in app permission manager).
Now how to replace kingroot with super su? I tried both Super-sume and mrw v2.4 with no luck.
First flash TWRP with the TWRP manager then install root browser goto /system/app delete kinguser restart your phone goto recovery and flash the supersu update

Well...it isn't supported. Is there generic recovery that can be used on various devices based on...idk, chipset?
fyi
I've managed to do it. idk exactly how.
Tried again this mrw (v.2.4) in the root of the sdcard. i'm not running *.sh files from terminal emulator, but via root explorer's script executor.
This time i've mounted /system RW before starting the procedure (found this tip in a lenovo a5000 tutorial that i saved in the past. It can be done via terminal emulator or with app like root essentials).
This time looked like the script hanged, king root has stopped several times and finally "executing script" popup disappeared.
However tried to install SuperSU manual (because script failed)
Then SuperSU returned that kingroot is still present in the system and can try to uninstall it (last time this did unroot the tablet), but with /system mounted RW i decided to give it a try.
Well, now i have fully functional SuperSU and root.
