So I recently bought myself a Nextbook Ares 11A (you can get look at it here: http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.php?product_id=33
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to root it at all. Anyone have an idea how to root it. I have tried King and Kingo root, both PC versions. Vroot/iroot, framaroot apk, and some others that i kinda forgot.
One of the first things I did to this tablet was upgrading its android version to 6.0.1
I think one of the main exploits to use for this would be the firmware update
-quick note. If your having problems with this tablet rebooting by itself re download the android 6.0.1 firmware update and install it again.
Firmware update download: https://goo.gl/Cev80L
Same here. Can't root it. Awesome tablet for the price just $197 for a 11 inch tablet running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Here are my specs. Hope e can find a root soon. Boring without root access. No cool apps without have root.
Netbook Ares 11A
Model# NX1611264
Running Android ver. 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Security patch level 2015-11-01
IFWI ver.
Build # V1-1.9.LMY47I.20160803.154546

I am so glad some of the community is interested in this.

here you go. the dl :https://goo.gl/Cev80L its from google drive
i installed the update and my tablet doesnt make it all the way through and is stuck on logo screen its the same model as op ..looks like i cant go back in firmware cause the older firmware says bad footer
nextbook ares 11 a
After installing the correct adb/fastboot drivers along with the intel chip usb drivers, i was able to unlock/flash boot.img and bootloader. All i need now is a working twrp_recovery image to finish rooting this tablet and remove encryption. If anyone has a working twrp recovery or knows how to make one based off the rom, then please post it. I would love to have this tablet rooted and non encrypted.

i have the same tablet is there anyway you could send a copy of firmware or the stock recovery @mrspinler
look-up vampiro's work on the ares 8, he has made a twrp that will work, with a mouse connected to the ares 11, the are a few modified roms for the ares 8, including a remix os, that works great, except for touchscreen doesn't work, but touchpad, and attaching a mouse works great

tim i am sorry but i am unable to give a stock recovery seeing as i tried to flash other recovery images. however i would be glad t post the update file but i can't post links yet. The update file is in the very first post, and you have to unzip it onto the sd card to get the tablet to notice it.
If you are familiar with rooting android then perhaps you could provide the stock recovery image so that someone with more programming knowledge can actually make a cwm or twrp recovery from it. The boot.img file is correct as well, which happens to be inside the update file. I know this because i almost bricked my tablet XD.

Have you been able to root this tablet with the ares 8 files? If so then how did you get the recovery.img to work and what about the encryption files? I ask because the ares 8 has the same cpu but it is android 6.0.1 rom versus android 5.0/5.1.
11a
heres the deal i downloaded the update on the first page and always got stuck at like 35 percent tried to flash the recovery from the 11rootkit it didnt work tried from the ares 8 and just get an error screen ive got the tablet unlocked fully and can flash anything in fastboot but no file at all with bring it back ive tried the firmware files and there not in the right format for fastboot the tablet is bricked but can still get into fastboot but no working recovery

if you ever get it done please come back and help us get ares rooted XD
If anyone can manage getting a copy of recovery.img off your tablet, please post it. I will try and make a twrp img with it. Hopefully a dev can pick this up cause I am sort of out of my league atm.
I'm very interested in this endeavor. I have a Ares 11A as well but I'm in desperate need of a stock ROM as mine got trashed by the Marshmallow update. As a result I had to install Win 10 on the device temporarily, but i would like to get it back to the original stock ROM and try again. If that fails, then I'm going to have to build an entirely new ROM (never done this before) based on Android-x86 Marshmallow.
What's really sad is that support for this device is sorely lacking from the vendor(Efun/Yifang). They don't even post a stock ROM on their website (nextbookusa.com) for this device. However, this device is similar to some of the Chinese tablets posted on techtablets.com so I MAY be able to find a stock ROM / drivers there.

I'm in the exact same situation how did you get windows to boot?

Basically, I deleted the Android partitions and reallocated the space a a Windows partition. I got into the device UEFI boot manager by pressing the power + Vol down buttons, then releasing the power button when the Nextbook logo appears, then release the Vol down button. It's a little tricky to get into it but it can be done. Before you attempt to do so you have to get the device into fastboot mode (power+vol up buttons) and unlock the bootloader first. Be advised though that finding Windows 10 drivers will be VERY difficult! It's not for the faint of heart! I went to the techtablets.com website to find the drivers as they specialize in supporting Chinese-made tablets.
As I've stated earlier this is a temp solution. When all is said and done, this will become a dual-boot or multi-boot tablet
this is the only thing i can find but cant get it right http://www.nextbookusa.com/_gendownloads/NX16A11264/update.zip

Hello!
Idiot’s guide
Most of this is based on discussions with _fun, and borrows heavily from his website http://androtab.info and personal experience. I accept no blame for following my guide, but it should work okay. In other words; DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
DO NOT USE FWTOOL! YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TOUCH SCREEN!
What you need
Files: http://androtab.info/telechips/firmwares look at the bottom of the page for TCC8803 files.
You must determine if your device has a 4K formatted NAND or an 8K formatted NAND. I’m still fuzzy on how to do this, so it’s probably best to ask. I’ll update this as soon as I get more info! My device is 4K and has a resistive screen. The Kogan Agora is an 8K device.
MicroSD card. You cannot flash the device without a microSD, unless you plan on using FDWN and that’s a tutorial for another day.
Stock Recovery
There are 4 boot options for the EM73, standard boot, recovery boot, FDWN boot, and fastboot. The two important ones (for now) are standard and recovery. Standard boot means you don’t press any buttons while powering up and it just boots up normally.
To get into recovery:
Turn your device off.
Hold the BACK button (big one on the front of the device)
Hold power until the device turns on, then release power button. CONTINUE HOLDING BACK BUTTON
Device will boot into stock recovery, and you can release the BACK button
In stock recovery, you can now flash Clockwork mod, or another stock update should you find one that works. As far as I know, there aren’t any but I’ll update this post if it becomes available.
To navigate stock recovery:
HOME and MENU (the 2 side buttons) move up and down the list
BACK button selects
How to dump stock recovery
download dump-recovery.zip http://androtab.info/files/tcc8902/dump-recovery/dump-recovery-signed.zip
Rename the dump-recover-signed.zip to update.zip
Place the update.zip in the root of your microSD card
Boot into recovery
Choose to install the update from the list
Files will be copied as /sdcard/dumped_recovery.img and /proc/mtd will be copied as /sdcard/dumped_proc_mtd.txt.
How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 4
make backup(dump) stock recovery
download recovery.zip (follow the link at the top of this tutorial to find your files)
Rename recovery.zip to update.zip
Place update.zip on the root of your microSD card
Install update from recovery
Navigation
Navigation is different in ClockWorkMod Recovery then in stock recovery!
BACK button goes back
MENU button moves down the list
HOME button selects
How to get SU on stock ROM
(Info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 There are other methods, but this is how I did it.)
Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Place on the root of your microSD card
Boot into recovery
Choose “Install zip from sdcard”
Choose “choose zip from sd card”
Select su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Choose Yes
Reboot!
You should now have SU, be sure to download BusyBox from Market or nothing will really work.
How to install CyanogenMod 7
install ClockworkMod Recovery 4
reboot recovery
make backup
wipe data/factory reset *1
install cyanogen.zip (follow the link at the top of this tutorial to find your files)
reboot
touchscreen calibration *1 *2
reboot again to reflect calibration data
*1 only if you are upgrading from non-CM7 ROM (CM7 1st install)
*2 only if you are using resistive touchscreen or misaligned capacitive touchscreen
reserved for future use!
hi,
I checked Gpad702 firmware
http://www.szltp.com/download/download38.html
it's same structure as TCC8902 firmware
I can unpack boot.img/system.img/recovery.img in m801_mtd.img.
kernel ver. is
Code:
Linux version 2.6.35.7-tcc (@build-161) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #183 Wed May 4 17:19:20 HKT 2011
and build id is
Code:
MID73_SIS_HI2M 20110504
it's 2.3.1 ROM and I guess it's same as yours. probably making clockworkmod recovery is not difficult

I have a feeling this is also the same version as the Kogan Agora Tablet which is based off the Telechip TCC8803 or probably the same thing just rebranded (also the Haipad M708)
i been looking at trying to get root access as well but still fail.

I compared Gpad701 2.3.1 ROM and Gpad702 ROM. very similar (of course not compatible, but similar layout). I think I can make clockworkmod recovery and cyanogenmod by changing some lines from cmr/cm for tcc8902.
we can change any files in telechips firmware image. (we are superior than root)
adding su and superuser.apk should be easy. I never use rooting app for telechips tablets
I don't have tcc8803 tablet yet. I can't test at all. it may break your tablet. don't use if you can't accept your tablet may be bricked.
(I think if you can use FWDN you can unbrick easily, but I warned!)
here is test clockworkmod and cyanogenmod files
http://androtab.info/files/tcc8803/cm7/
even if it works(at least boot), do not expect many things. it's just a test image!
EDIT:
I found other possible firmware (I didn't get yet)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AD7U83D5
I don't know how many variants are exists. my test image uses files from Gpad702. it may not compatible with your tablet. please use them with care!
EDIT2:
oh, nice, 1st one (em73_SISGC2M_V1_20110516.rar) is 2.3.3 ROM
kernel: Linux version 2.6.35.7-tcc ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #97 Mon May 16 11:53:45 HKT 2011
build: EM73_SIS_GC2M_V1 20110516
oops, 2nd one is same as 1st one 2nd link is removed, sorry.
if you want to flash these files (lk.rom and m801_mtd.img), please see this how to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14237828&postcount=2
it is complete procedure
I'll make test image based on 2.3.3 ROM when I have a time.
EDIT3: http://u.115.com/file/bhd55s6m here is another TCC8803 2.3.3 rom for another hardware(1024x600 screen)
Do we need to get root access first to flash the recovery image?
anyone dare try this with their Kogan Agora tablet lol =P

I added tcc8803-recovery.zip. it should be able to install from stock recovery, and replace recovery with clockworkmod. (hopefully)
anyway, you can use fastboot/FWDN to flash recovery without root.
I'm not sure my files are compatible with your tablet. if your tablet is 2.2.x, you may need to flash lk.rom from 2.3 ROM... see GB ROM entry inFAQ on my tcc8902 thread.

cyanogenmod is just for someone who really like cm. not for daily use, e.g. hw codecs don't work

I'm keen to know what you thought of your Kogan tablet - I have one on the way but was a bit dismayed to see the cr*p reviews so far
Looking forward to getting a custom ROM on it!!
Have any of you had any issues with the browser closing when loading google.com only? Also I've had an issue with trying to get a location through wifi with this tablet. I've tried enabling wireless networks and so and still nothing. I think it might be a faulty firmware.

the hardware it self is what you get for the price
it's decent enough to use for browsing, reading and media player, even gaming if you like
the battery is bad, standby of ~8h and ~3-4h for continuous usage
the screen is dark and have limited view angle, but bear in mind it's not samsung galaxy's amoled :lol:
it's good for daily use and if you dont expect much for the money you spend
it's bad because kogan tells a lot of crap! if you follow the story from their first ad you will know what i mean

mm was not quite the step by step i wanted more so interested where to download those files quick get your 8 post =P
i agree mostly with what you said Re Kogan tablet battery life is bad it wont survive a full day at work with constant use.
i dont mine the screen all so much it runs angry birds quite well i personally see the view angle thing as a Plus since most people put up privacy screens to stop people from looking in on what we are doing the kogan one does it straight out of the box lOL..
i got the first batch from kogan was a lOng wait but i am glad it was upgraded a bit after the Wait i still think if you bought 2 or 3 of them in one shipping and 3 friends needing it at the cheapest live price at $139 its worth it for a sub 200 tablet
for your 120 bucks more you can try to find a samsung galaxy tab in aus but its pretty hard find now i managed to get hold of one ..

Hello!
First post here!
I just revived a Cubot Note S and am pretty happy with the performance.
I've searched around for a while and am unable to root the device, I've seen one other post on XDA regarding a successful Root on 5.1 but am unable to find any information on how this is achieved.
I've tried Kingo, King and Root Genius with USB Debugging an OEM Unlock enabled.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great,
Thank you
Sorry, don't have any kind of solution but I just wanted to say I'm in the exact same boat as you. Been trying to root my Cubot for days.
Good News!
Aftee alot of digging and flashing several recoveries I have successfully rooted the Cubot Note S.
Ill put a simple guide here to help:
Its your responsibility what happens to your phone, Mine works flawlessly, but be careful out there!
Requirements:
Cubot note S on 5.1 Lollipop
Smart Phone Flash Tool & MTK Scatter file (for the cubot) & Super SU.zip
buzztechnica.com/2016/03/how-to-root-and-install-twrp-recovery.html?m=
In the first paragraph is a download link. Download the rar and extract it. All you need is the Smart Phone Flash tool and the MT scatter.txt. THE RECOVERY IN THIS DOES NOT WORK!
Modified TWRP recovery (there is omly one that works!
android-hilfe.de/thema/root-und-twrp-fuer-cubot-note-s.753414/page-2 << Post number 37 has the Mega link to the working recovery.img file
MTK VCOM drivers
spflashtool.com
Look for link that says "Download MediaTek VCOM Drivers" get the self installer package.
About recoveries,
Make sure you use the Modified one and not any other. The bundled one in the FlashTool and the other 3 floating in the internet do not work as they do not register touches. These are useless.
Okay, so now you have the files i would create a new folder with everything you need. So thats the Flash tool, scatter file and the modified TWRP recovery and phone drivers.
Before you start. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone somewhere. Also enable USB Debugging in the developer options. Finally TURN OFF YOUR PHONE. i.e hold power, power off. Dont plug your phone into the computer yet
On your computer install the VCOM drivers first. Now to get the drivers installed I had to modify the batch file to work on Win10. If your on Win10. Right click the install batch file and edit. Remove all the lines regarding the OS check and save and run the installer. A command window will notify of the install success
open the Flash tool. Now, the second box asks you to select a scatter file. Select the one you have.
Ensure the dropdown box is selected to Dowload Only.
Ensure that ONLY recovery is ticked, you dont wanna flash anything else accidently!
To summarise... now, you should have super su.zip on your phone. Smart phone flash tool setup with the scatter file and custom recovery loaded. Your ready to flash!
Before plugging your phone in click Download. Now plug your phone in. And you will see it will flash. Should take a few seconds youll see a bar going along the screen. A box will pop up saying download OK!
Now, apparantly your phone is meant to boot without any assistance. Mine did not. So in this case. Unplug from PC. Remove phone battery. Put back in and tey to enter recovery (Pwr + Vol Up) <<< tip, dont hold them in too long as my phone just kept resetting. Hold about half a second while the screen is on then let go
You should now be in twrp recovery. Swipe the notification and proceed to flash the super su zip. Once complete, remove your battery and DONT press restart. It wont work and your phone will freeze.
Put your battery back in and boot normally, you now have custom recovery and Root!!
Enjoy!

.... or you simply navigate to needrom.com and seek for "Cubot Note S". Then you'll find a working TWRP-recovery for Android 5.1 and even 6.0, a beta ROM for Marshmallow (6.0) and the not yet published ROM from 11-07/2016 for Lollipop (5.1). To flash with SP-Flash-Tool from your Computer.
Cheers!

I tried these, but as stated, all those Recorives did not work due to not recognising the touches. plus, the 5.1 stock ROM is stable, where as the 6.0 is still beta. I'd rather stick with a stable ROM.
6.0 ROM and the 6.0 TWRP may work, but its untested for me. hence why I've targeted 5.1 in my tut
Thanks for the detailed walk through Sparky. I may give it a go but I'm very new to all this so I don't want to get myself into something where I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Either way, thanks for the help

No problem, Its actually quite straight forward once you've found the working files. At least now there is a tutorial on the internet for this phone which is complete and tested

It took me days, i rooted with iroot - woorked, then it unrooted itself, did again, didnt work I Tried millions of different Recovery.img nothing.
Tried urs - works perfektly with 5.1. Does not with 6.0.
But thank u a lot <3 Edit 2: 6.0 works with the img of: http://www.needrom.com/download/cobot-note-s-6-0/

Hello!
First post here!
I just revived a Cubot Note S and am pretty happy with the performance.
I've searched around for a while and am unable to root the device, I've seen one other post on XDA regarding a successful Root on 5.1 but am unable to find any information on how this is achieved.
I've tried Kingo, King and Root Genius with USB Debugging an OEM Unlock enabled.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great,
Thank you

Kingroot works
First off I noticed on XDA unless someone has a decent link other than rooting this device. There is hardly any love at all for this tablet and a great tablet at that.
I'm making this thread A. To help others in this situation and B. To gather as much information as we can on this device.
Currently my issue is I'm trying to hunt down the Raw Image File for this device, if anyone has it or knows where it is please post it!
The Oldest firmware I have is this UL-P01M-WW-3.3.8.0-user.zip to UL-P01M-WW-5.4.3.0-user.zip
I'm trying to flash this system back since ABD will not work or recognize this device nor will Fastboot works since bootloader is practically locked.
I'm trying to use the ASUS Recovery Flash Tool but need the raw.zip file for this device. Any information anyone has on this product lets all post it here!
For debricking please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bricked-asus-zenpad-s-8-0-z580ca-please-t3461656
it has the link to "Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.6.1.raw". Just zip it and select that this with your "Asus Recovery Flash Tool"
Works great and debricked my brick
Lol. i was about to post you the post you made on this - which i followed to unbrick - thanks, BTW, both.
So... has anyone worked on rooting Z580c running on android 6? I'm fine with what i have, unrooted and running on 6 without much of a fuss, but i would love to be able to use AdAway once again (when i had rooted running android 5). If you know any proven methods let me know - thanks.

hi, may i know if you have Z58CA version of asus zenpad s8? I upgrade my device and have WW_PO1M-V5.6 firmware stock from their official site. I wanted to root this tablet cause my screen got broken at its still functional with ADB and OTG when paired with adapters supplying the power.
Im new to rooting this tablet and havent tried TWRP or CWM and i cant find a specific one for this device to unlock its bootloader. Also to mention if its succeful will it get locked again without problems?
I know this isn't the correct forum but I've searched and haven't found anything and since this seems to be the closet device I was wondering if there is any development for this device yet or any rooting methods that may work
I looked as well. There does not seem to be any serious develop on the V530. I'm bootloader unlocked but no root or twrp that I could find.

Thanks. I couldn't even get that far. Don't get me wrong it's a nice device but I'm sure a custom ROM would make it fly. Hopefully soon as more people get the device we'll see some development.
First thing first. Bootloader commands must be there.
If so, you just need TWRP
I'd also be very interested in rooting/custom rom for this device, as I moved to it from my Nexus 7 2013 that was very much showing it's age. It's almost painful being on a stock rom from a 3rd party at this point. I've searched through google and nobody seems to be taking much interest in this device. The same was true for the original xperia z tablet and it's got official lineageos support, so I remain hopeful.
love this thing
I would just love to root this beast. New to LG products, not new to rooting. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start?

I am having problems even booting into bootloader on this thing. I was able to boot into recovery mode but can't get out of the "no commands".
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot bootloader -> just reboots it.
It might be possible to use dirtyc0w exploit to get root access on this tablet.(nvm it seems our android version is already patched for that. )
I too have been able to get the bootloader unlocked but unable to find a version of TWRP or find any rooting tool that supports this device. Still holding out hope but this doesn't seem to be a super popular device :/
Hey guys! I bricked my tab and i need a stock kdz or system, recovery and boot.imgs! Does anyone have or can pull these file for me thanks in advance!
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have rooted mine..if I had the stock system.img could you used that? This is what I did to obtain root..
Download the Lg download utility mode tool '''https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf''
and the sources ''https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/installation.html'
Then open cmd in the folder and execute: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell --cr -c '!S sh' <--- there might be an error message or laf_acess_denied but its okay.
re-enter the command: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell <--- this should open up an interactive shell..enter ls and see if it lists the files on the device then close the interactive shell
run python extract-partitions.py to get the stock boot.bin but change the file extension to .img
push the boot.img to the device, install magisk manager, patch the boot.img, pull img then flash with fastboot
Nice! We finally get root a couple days after a seemingly innocent fall off my bed wrecked my screen :crying:. Deciding on replacing it or getting a MediaPad M5.
tbh I've rooted this device since last month or so but I really didn't have time to make a tutorial
Is anyone able to pull there kdz? My tab is bricked and ive tried LG bridge and all others! Or the the imgs in need to go back to stock! Any help please! Thanks!

Thanks to Vincent_vann I have root. With this I can finally start building a custom TWRP for this tablet. I wish we had a forum for this device. I requested one last year but it still hasn't been made even though it was approved. If I get one built, and there isn't a dedicated forum, I'll post it in this thread.
Just built TWRP. I noticed some folks asking for stock recovery, boot, and system img files. I have recovery and boot img. Not sure where to post these though. Same with twrp. If someone has any reccomendations on how to go about this I'll gladly provide.
I have the Canadian variant (v533) and wouldn't mind giving TWRP a whirl on it. All specs are same so I think it'll work. Don't mind testing if you do get somewhere to post TWRP. Also good job on getting it compiled ?

Thank you! Unfortunately with nougat file based encryption TWRP has issues with decrypting /data after the setup of the tablet. So it's working 50% which is annoying because you'll have to wipe data whenever you want to flash something. Not a big deal for roms, but very inconvenient for other zips. If you still want it let me know and I'll find a place. Else I'll be tackling the decryption issue this weekend.

Have any good resources you can recommend?
Hi. I just purchased the new flex 11 from BB NS-P11A100. It appears to have the exact same processor, chip, and GPU as another tablet I have used before. The Lenovo Tab3 8. The only difference I can see is the emmc size (Lenovo 16Gb & Insignia 32Gb respectively) and the screen sizes. The processor is the same however limited to 1Ghz on the Lenovo whereas I believe the 1.3Ghz is the base CPU speed (I think the European version of the Lenovo came with a 1.3Ghz speed). So out of curiosity would the finished Lenovo's TWRP recovery work on the Insignia? Just a thought. Also, in case of brick could you use the Lenovo's firmware to flash it (after modding the scatter file of course). I'm just a noob to development but have no problem getting my hands dirty (I have 2 Lenovo's both broken but modified heavily) It's good to see another tablet with the 64bit processor setup. Makes it so the 1Gb of RAM don't look so bad. Thanks in advance for any info provided.
i'm guessing this hasn't peaked interest yet? i just got this bad boy root would be awesome
So did any of you who have this tablet figure anything out?
I was walking down the street with my tablet and accidentally stumbled into fastboot. Stay tuned

Ya I was able to unlock the bootloader using the Fastboot Oem Unlock comand. I just havent gotten up the courage to try the twrp recovery I have that I used for my Lenovo. Seeing as i also cannot find a download to get the stock firmware or flash file to fix it if I encounter any bricks... If someone can rewrite the twrp for the lenovo tab3 8 to use the insignia's model number it should work seeing as they both use the same board and chipset. Any ideas from anyone?

Anyone know how to get this thing in download mode? As soon as i get a boot.img i can build us twrp
Any progress on this yet?
any progress, this tablet makes me want to just blow it up. any ideas on rooting it?
Ok. I apologize for not being too active on this... Before when I tried to boot to the twrp recovery that belonged to the Lenovo Tab 4 8 (fastboot boot recovery twrp.img) it would always tell me there was no file by that name. The same thing happened to me when I attempted a different twrp than what was for my new Lenovo Tab 4 10. I found out that the bootloader simply does not allow the ability to boot to twrp. I got balsy and attempted to flash my new Lenovo (fastboot flash recovery tewp.img) instead of trying to boot to it. It worked. However would not boot to recovery but back to fastboot, and when I attempted a regular boot to the OS it replaced the bad twrp with the stock recovery. Tried maybe 5 diff twrp recoveries and it always fixed it. I haven't tried this with the insignia flexx 11 yet and I still have it up and going strong on stock. Maybey it will work and we can have twrp and root on the insignia. BTW. Has anyone seen or found a stock firmware for this device yet? Twrp would be cake it I can get a stock boot and recovery from it.
Alguien puede decirme si es posible hacer algo con las licencias estas?modificarla para root?o solo es una simple info?

I have a temporary solution till I find a better way magisk 7.1 and MTK easy root I'm going to assume you have android nugat like mine and it has mtk processor like mine. Anyway you can find both of those downloads here on this site under apps if not let me know
First install mtk easy root then install magisk go back to easy root and install the app or manager what ever it prompts you to do then go to magisk it will prompt you for extra set up then reboot and go to mtk easy root click the boot button on the bottom of the screen after root success go to magisk and set it up poof you have root it takes a minute for mtk to root on its own so I hit the button instead of waiting but it
works till i can really root it

If you want to put that thing in download mode it power and volume down then you need a phone handy to translate the Chinese think it's the 3rd one down but I forgot I just use mtk fast root and majisk it works great on mine!
I am looking for a twrp for this tho any suggestions would be awesome!

I finally found stock firmware
If I insert an SD card, I'm given a dialog box asking to confirm the switch between storage location from internal RAM to SD card, opening up all sorts of access. It gives me a full screen dialog that seems to bypass all of its walled in protections. With a Chrome apk on the SD card I can install it, run it, and download anything.
