I have Alcatel OT-910, but i cant find anything about root & rom for this model here on xda-developers forum. I found threads for other Alcatel models (OT-908, OT-980, OT-990) and i was wondering is anyone working on this particular model? Is it possibile to have root access? stock ROM for OT-910? Thanks.
Alcatel OT-910
CPU 600 MHz
OS Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo)
Keyboard QWERTY
root
i have tried to root my OT-910 with SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't work.
Keeps stuck at Step #7 Waiting for Device.
also tried to unplug and replug it at this part, but no chance.
any other ideas how to get root? Some of the installed apps are useless for me and eat up my memory, want to get rid of them
rooting problem
I've got OT910 too, tried several ways to root with steps, provided for other Alcatel android phones - no luck.
Try with different versions os superoneclick. Aso you should install Pdanet on your phone and your computer to and try again with superoneclick.
Sent from my ALCATEL one touch 990
No luck still
I tried all SuperOneClick releases, z4root, GingerBreak - nothing really works. The phone is hardly operable without root - too much garbage preinstalled.
Hey, i have an Alcatel OT-909a (which is the same as Alcatel OT-910 but with a lower px camera) and i also am unable to get root access, i already know that there is a stock busybox, and have seen some files of the internal memory but still not having luck, i also flashed some CWM and RA recoveries but i just got stuck while trying to access recovery, so i have to get back to stock recovery, i think there must be a way to do at least a nandroid backup and try to root the backup and flash again, but i dont know, the CWM recovery just boot the android logo, after there is nothing in the screen, but the QWERTY keys are on like if the phone was in recovery, i had tried Super One Click 1.9.2 and 2.3.3 and got stuck in step #7 too, zergRush and GingerBreak doesnt work also, something extrange for me is that the last time i try CWM, it didnt boot into recovery but into fastboot, as far as i know internal memory is read-only except for the installation of apps and some folders (or somehow i push GingerBreak and zergRush to the internal memory isn't?), i can't push su to the xbin or bin folders, but i already saw what is inside xbin an bin (as i said memory is read-only and there are some folders that requires permissions to access), there must be a way to push su to xbin folder (or at least maybe access su in another location?) but i still seeing how?
PD: sorry for my possible bad english speaking
PD2: yes i'm a noob and i hate myself but please some of you that know of this, help us?
Edit: just curious i just push su to "/data/local/tmp" then i just tipe ./su and it appeared on the phone "shell has been granted superuser permissions"
Alcatel_OT_909a /909s /910
OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 / 6180
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #3
Here an idea: Custom Rom
hey guys, if some of you (someone, anyone who might wanna help?) are still maybe reading this thread, i wonder, i have played with the phone a little (unluckly i really messed up breaking the cellphone and luckily for me, the motherboard was replaced at service center), and i have been able to pull out most of the system partition, custpack and others, (except for the recovery partition) and i was wondering if maybe there is a way to create a custom rom with those files?, maybe we could create our custom rom and flash it, after seeing around the files, i got that 909a it's using what it's looks like at least the same kernel than ot910, (actually some information is from the ot910, in the manual it refers to ot909a-s ot910 as same cellphone but with different px in camera), so maybe we could create a custom GB rom based on the files from the stock system partition, and as alcatel has relased the kernel sourcecode maybe we could even do a custom kernel?, i was just wondering if someone can try to do a custom rom with those files, as i have tried flashing some GB roms replacing files and the phone doesn't boot up to android, but in recovery you get su access and pull the other files, but when replacing files, there is a moment when the system lose adb shell access, so maybe someone with more knowleadge (as i'm new to both android and linux) can help?
Rooting -- any news?
Has anyone succeeded in rooting the device in the meantime? I had no luck with either psneuter, zergrush, or gingerbreak ...
OT-910 successfully rooted!
Hi,
thank's to the great work of giantpune over at Phandroid, the Alcatel OT-910 has been successfully rooted (see the attached screenshot)!
For instructions, cf. the thread "Optimus Elite root with an apk" at Phandroid's LG Optimus Elite forum. Put in a nutshell, you have to install the following two APK's:
1. the Poot-debug.apk tailor-made for this phone, and
2. Ministro II.apk.
Both files are linked at the end of giantpune's original post at the LG Optimus Elite forum.
Note that Superuser, but not SuperSU, will grant root access on the OT-910.
Have fun!

If your last hope is xda... then maybe you will not have that much luck, if you're stuck at TCL logo, maybe you could try using the "OTU Upgrade Tool" (by means "OTU = Alcatel/TCL Flasher") and maybe that will do the trick and then you get your phone back to stock, if not (or if you already did that), then you're a little out of luck, as far as I know, there is no stock recovery around, and also as far as I know, there is no CWM recovery, now, in case you did use OTU Tool, and failed flashing the phone, then is almost sure that your nand is bricked, if you used OTU Tool and that didn't get your phone back, then you should see if you can still flash Android Images (more accurately 2.3.3 (since 2.3.4 did brick my phone twice)), at least with a non-functional 2.3.3 image, maybe you could flash from there with OTU again, or try to modify 2.3.3 system to work with your phone, if nothing of that did result for you, then you're out of luck, because I'm almost sure that would mean that you are in a nand brick, and the only way to solve it, is sending it to Service Repair (at least for now)
now, for using OTU Upgrade Tool, you can download it from TCL/Alcatel website ( www2.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download.html ) in the download section, select your phone model, and from there download the OTU Upgrade Tool, after downloading, install it and follow the instructions for getting the phone in "Download Mode" (in OT910 = (pressing "Q" key with the phone totally off, and after pressing the "Q" key for 30sec. or a minute, then (still pressing the "Q" key) connect it to the pc and follow the onscreen steps (that means, choosing your mobile and getting in to look for the firmware and download it)
I have a kind of "backup" of the system (I mean, every file that is in /system) but sadly, it doesn't have the properly permissions set, and so, it gives also a boot loop (also I bricked my phone once again and for worse, when it was out of warranty), so if you still in warranty maybe you should send it to service :/
that's the sad of life when your mobile is not the one that is being developed by expert developers (not even a beginner one )
Hope you can fix your phone
thanks for help
thanks man you are my captain...
I recheck the upgrade tool it just say that you have latest software.
So if you have 2.3.3 then please give me that i will update it via adb shell as i can still access it as su.

I will, but before, what version of upgrade tool are you using? (mine has a kind of strange bug that the rom is never ever able to get the last update (as always download saying there is a new update (it's a fake but anyway)), that would be kind of a problem since maybe after you flash 2.3.3 the upgrade tool will state that you're still in latest firmware (even through upgrade tool is supposed to be a service tool, funny isn't?), anyway, since you have nothing to lose (since apparently you flashed a custom recovery that didn't work for you), but, there are this two things you should try before, first (and pretty much the must obvious one) if you have warranty (as long as you're in warranty and never tried to see what's inside the phone), and two, there is a little possibility that maybe you can access adb via the recovery you flashed, even, when the tcl logo appears, try to do "adb shell" or "adb devices", so maybe you can recover your phone without the need of flashing android 2.3.3.
now, if nothing of that worked, then there is nothing to loose, if you have the android sdk, from there you can download a 2.3.3 image, that will boot, but display nothing in the screen (still you can do adb shell with su, and try to properly install libraries maybe?), if not, then i'll check if I can do one system image for you, and see what it does
by the way, if somehow you can access adb , try to do "adb pull" and pull the " /system" partition
it's really sad that we can't (at least not me) figure out, how to use the files that the upgrade tool uses ( 570mb of 10 - 520kb files)

Hi people, anyone know how to root leagoo lead 2? This phone uses MTK6582 chipset, rom version is 4.4.2. I tryed root with root genius but it failed, it said that my phone is too tough to root (sorry bad english)
good question
im also looking to root my lead 2 usual tools dont seem to do the trick
Rooting is actually the first and easiest step to begin your journey on android developing, if you can't root, you won't succeed in android development. Don't worry, I will help you with root.
To root your device, I highly recommend Kongo android root(PC), it not only covers a really great amount of device, but is also able to unroot your device, all it takes is just a click after you plugged your device into the PC. Or if you don't want to use the PC, you can install an app that will help. It is called vroot, it is Chinese, so it might be a little hard for you to understand.
Kongo is not working. Stucks at waiting for device. waited about 1 hour and still stucked.
Re
Hi, try KingRoot works for me its chinese app.you can download from website kingroot.net place apk file on your Phone and install then you can root your device very easy
Thanks for the help. APK worked very well .
Is it safe to use this chinese root app
Chrome was warning about a "Possible Dangerous Download File", but I still downloaded it and scanned for viruses.
This is the APK virus scan report : apkscan (dot) nviso (dot) be/report/show/c4340bc2d1322e514e025430dc9c5d7c
I'm not an expert but i recon the antivirus picked it up only because there is lots of low level scripts that root your device i guess (cmdline files?)... and the hard-coded URL's listed in the scan point to few sites: Android.com , QQ.com, kingroot.net, ibutian.com, and non of them seem to be a malware websites.
Anyway let me know if it's all-right to use this APK and root my Leagoo Lead 2
You can use that apk. its safe and worked for me very well.
Tested now with kingroot but unable to root it.
Seems that last OTA update is the problem
Any other suggestion?
EASY DONE
Kingo root - DOESNT WORK forget it!
VROOT dont work - Forget it.
Sat back and had a think and BOOM
went to leagoo website downloaded the new V10 rom listed there.
Unzipped file, Flashed rom to phone first, only cause i wanted to update new device.
After flashing, UNPLUGGED PHONE used MTKDroid tools to flash cmw, (open droidtools, DONT PLUG PHONE IN) and go to root/backup/recovery and choose boot file, it asks to "create cmw automatically" say yes, VIOLA droidtools makes the recovery.
Then used SPFLASHTOOLS to flash cmw recovery - works great.
As i have been playing with MIUI and an Elephone P2000 had the file - UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
cant do links, so search in google "download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" and first link is the winner
booted into recovery, flashed it and have root, easy peasy

ASUS MeMO Pad 8 (K011) ME181C Recovery Guide
The following is a list of what we can currently do with this tablet. It assumes firmware versions with the WW prefix (WW-3.1.23.1xx).
Root Status: Obtained
Bootloader: Locked
CWM Recovery Possible: Yes (Tethered)
Custom ROMS: None
The following information is for recovering your tablet and obtaining root only. The bootloader is locked on the device at this time.
Tethered CWM recovery
This is a temporary solution to unsigned loading. The bootloader on the device is currently locked, so after rebooting, it will revert back to standard recovery. Use this to restore to a stock firmware or to install SuperSU.
Download the official firmware and extract it.
Rename UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip to user.zip.
Copy user.zip to the root of your SD card.
Enable USB debugging on your tablet.
Run Launcher.bat.
Type ACCEPT.
Choose option T3.
This will reboot in to the Tethered Recovery.
Choose Install Zip from external SD card.
Choose user.zip
Reboot once finished.
Bootable Image for Recovery
This file is to be used if your system will not get past the Asus or Intel logo. Boot the system using Volume Up and Power. Once the logo appears, let go of power. Once in DroidBoot, use fast boot to flash the boot and system images. This is provided in case signature verification fails on the official images.
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This file also contains adb and fastboot. If your tablet is not detected, try the Asus drivers.
Reboot the system and use the CWM tethered recovery to reinstall the official firmware.
OTA Updates
If you’ve recovered from the official firmware on the Asus site, you’re probably sitting at version WW-3.1.23.172. Here are the OTA updates to bring your system up to the current version of WW-3.1.23.189. There are two different OTA updates available here, so the process will need to be completed twice. Update 172 to 183 and Update 183 to 189.
Boot in to recovery, press the volume keys several times and install from ADB.
Extract the RAR file and rename the files update.zip.
On your PC, open a command prompt and change to the directory containing the update file
Assuming ADB is installed on the system, type: adb sideload update.zip
Once the process completes, reboot your system and update apps as needed.
Repeat this process for any additional update files.
Recovery image
This is the default recovery for the tablet. If you get adventurous and try to flash another one, this may come in handy.
can you explain
RemmyLee said:
All thanks to vampirefo for his work on this.
FB Tethered Recovery Launcher
Kind of curious if this method will work with the other versions of the tablet to allow SuperSU to be installed. Anyone want to try it?
Long story short, I screwed this thing messing with the framework. For some reason, the official firmware from the Asus site was failing signature verification when trying to reinstall. Someone managed to grab a stripped system image that at least gave me a launcher and USB debugging. This beauty allowed me to get the firmware installed and everything back to normal, as well as installing SuperSU.
If you have any trouble getting the tablet to show up in Windows, the Asus distributed drivers work like a charm.

as well can understand ? Please and thank you i have a ASUS MEMO Pad 8 Me181c Rooted With Frame1.4apk it took me to demo and i turned it off and rebooted and now it just goes to The ASUS Logo and then Intel Logo and Stops . If i could find a way to install CWM on this maybe i could get somewhere but all i see is people talking about it but no video tutorials , or walkthroughs
Any Help Would be greatly appreciated
1. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2b47381cb37c/ADB.rar - This contains adb and fastboot if you don't already have them installed. This also contains the system image that we're going to use temporarily to get this thing restored.
2. Hook it up to your computer and load up Fastboot on the tablet (Volume+ and Power while booting. Let go of power after the logo shows up).
3. Flash the System image ( fastboot flash system system.img) followed by the boot image (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4. Reboot.
5. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392052 - Next, we're going to use a temp version of CWM-Recovery to reinstall firmware. Enable USB debugging, run launcher.bat, type "ACCEPT" and choose T3.
6. You'll auto reboot into CWM-Recovery. Grab the official firmware from the Asus site and install the zip from SD. Once complete, you'll need to reroot the device most likely. If you have a SuperSU zip, install it after you've restored the system.
You're done. This also opens us up for just about anything. Go play with your system. As long as you don't mess up your boot loader, this should save you.

Asus MeMo Pad 8 - Pro 7 Entertainment Pad
Hey guys,
I have a Asus MeMo Pad 8 - Pro 7 Entertainment Pad. Now the model is K011 and the firmware starts with LVL bla bla bla.
Technically it is the same as the 181C and I also have managed to achieve root. Any ide if I could get the WW firmware and rom working on this?
UPDATE:
Using this method gives you version 172 of the firmware. Current version is 189. So here are the OTA updates.
To use these files, Start up the system in Droidboot, Volume+ and Power, go to recovery. You'll be sitting a broken android robot screen. Press the volume keys several times. It's give you some options. We're going to install from adb.
Unrar the update file provided, rename the file to update.zip and sideload it to the tablet. Once it finishes, reboot and wait for the system to update. Rinse, lather, repeat for 183 to 189.
Files:
OTA update 172 to 183
OTA update 183 to 189
Note: This is only if the OTA updates aren't pushing to your device. If you've got them, you can skip this.
fulishone: If the intel tether works for you, you could always try it, but I have no idea if it would work or not. If you have your system backed up, you could always give it a go and restore if it fails.
I'll try to compile everything in to a more readable format later. I just want to get the info up right now. A lot of people were semi bricked either because of a root gone bad or file system problems.

Ok, I am not new to flashing and custom roms and so on, but follwing your guide above, I should first flash .172 and then use your update files for .183 and the .189?
What do you mean with Intel thether?

Yep. That'll get you updated to the current firmware. I contacted ASUS yesterday and sadly, there are no plans on bringing Lollipop to this thing, nor are they interested in giving us an unlocked bootloader.
As for the Intel Tether, where the bootloader is locked, we can use a tethering method to access CWM recovery, but once we reboot, it reverts back to the standard recovery. This prevents us from using custom roms at this time. When it reboots, it checks signatures. The official firmware was not installing using the standard methods, so I used CWM to reinstall. That's why I included it above.
BBY builds
My guess is that this won't work with the BBY build. From what I understand no one has rooted an ME181C that has a BBY build. I also have not been able to connect the device to my PC. From reading this thread though it appears that to connect through the device drivers I need to boot into one of the recovery mode. Is that correct? I can see my sd cards okay when connected, but can't see the device through ABD.

I'm curious to know if the tethered method would allow a temporary CWM session to install SuperSU on the BBY line. I haven't seen anyone try it yet. If USB debugging is enabled, the tethered restore should try to automagically do everything for you. If you boot in to recovery, can you do a fastboot devices?

Thanks for posting this. It helped recover my tablet to 172. I see 172 on ASUS's website, but not the updates, and my tablet says it's up to date. Can you advise what 183 and 189 provide? Any new features or enhanced stability or performance.
Thanks in advance. Very much appreciated.

For some reason, OTA updates for this thing don't want to download. I've not seen too much of a change between them, but I applied them just to be current.

For some reason, OTA updates for this thing don't want to download. I've not seen too much of a change between them, but I applied them just to be current.

Yeah, strange that it won't update over the air. But thanks to your assistance I am running build 189. It may just be wishful thinking, but the device does seem a bit peppier. Thank you RemmyLee!!!!
[Update] Since updating to build 189, the device is much more stable and snappier. This was definitely worth doing. I don't understand why ASUS would not be pushing this out to everyone with this device.
Just wanna say thanks to the OP. Got my tablet back from the service center and was wondering why some apps were missing. Sure enough I was on WW...179. Nice to have updates and recoveries in one place. Great work!
Thank you so much bro, I have been googling a lot trying to find a root method and just discovered that I can easily have recovery and flash supersu zip thanks to you!!
Me181c not working...
Hi guys, I was using SoftKeyZ for about 2 weeks, I wanted to set my navigation buttons to it's default, so I tried using Backup of the SoftKeyZ, but when it rebooted the tablet, I lost my navigation buttons and indeed my notification and status bar. It rebooted again automatically, and this time when it started, I got an error which says: "Unfortunately, KeyguardTestActivity haas stopped", the error prevents me from unlocking the tablet and using it, so I cannot use it at all. I don't know how to go to recovery mode on my tablet, I used the button tips but it didn't work for me. I've downloaded the official rom from asus.com . Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, I need your help guys, you're my last chance...
should I do a complete wipe ?
Hi,
Thanks for the help in this thread.
I followed the instructions and successfully flashed the update firmware file. I was expecting for the tablet to be reset to original factory condition but found that all my apps ect were still there. I guess the user.zip is an update rather that a full ROM or should I have wiped everything first ?
I am have problems with the tablet such as Bluetooth has stopped working and wifi will only connect to very strong signal, (as in touching the router) which is why I wanted to completely wipe the device a start fresh.
f I wipe everything will the firmware file be able to restore the system fully?
Is there a complete firmware image file that can be downloaded any where ?
Thanks in advance for any advice
update : so fed up with no Bluetooth so I took the chance and did a full factory wipe and the system restored ok with the firmware file. Bluetooth problem solved, (Wifi did not, probably Hardware issue)
Thanks again
Signature failure
Thanks to your instructions, I've successfully managed to update my device to build WW-3.1.23.172, however, when trying to install 172 to 183 update I get a signature verification failure message.
Any ideas why this is happening?!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I've found a way to permanently root the latest stock KitKat ROM for our LG L9 II (D605).
Here's what I did:
Starting with fresh KDZ install of v20h (no cwm or other things necessary), you need to be on Dalvik (default). (It should work up to v20h, not just on v20h btw.)
Two important steps before proceeding: Settings/Security -> Enable 'Unkown Sources' and Disable 'Verify Apps'!
1) Download and install KingRoot, use it to root the phone (might restart, after it boots, just start the app again). Make sure you're on WiFi while running Kingroot.
2) Download and install SuperSU Me Free app, use it to delete KingUser and switch to SuperSu. Make sure to give the app root permissions.
At this point you're fully rooted with working SuperSU, although you will lose it at restart. If you just need 'temproot' to delete some stuff, go ahead, you're done.
To finalize root:
3) Put this file to the '/cache' folder. Root is required to do this step. Do it with Total Commander or some other file manager app (give it root permissions).
4) Download and install Reini Reboot from Play Store. Start the app, give it root permissions. Click 'Restart to Recovery'. Phone restarts.
5) Welcome to your stock system recovery. (Go up or down with volume keys and select with power key.)
Navigate to 'Apply update from cache', where you will find the root_v2b.zip file you put there. Click on it, it installs, then select 'reboot system now'.
You are now fully rooted, that's permanent.
(Might have to update the SU binary right after, and another time after you update SuperSU in Play Store.)
Feel free to hit 'thanks' if it helped.
Hi!
I just wanna say thanks for this easy described method of rooting my beloved LG Optimus L9 II. I tried this method about 30 minutes ago and so far so good. I appreciate your easy description of going about this method and I also appreciate that you either attached or linked all the tools that you need for this rooting. I hope that more people discoveres this method. I do hope that you know how much I really appreciate this. A BIG thanks from me!
i have cmw recovery, no Apply update from cache option. Any solution?

Yes. Do this after step 2)
3) Download this file and put in on your phone (anywhere).
4) Enter CWM and flash the root_v2b.zip file with CWM.
Thanks, it works like a charm. Point 4 can be done by just using "adb reboot recovery" though.
Work on v20g?

Thanks for the feedback. It's easier (noob-proof) this way though. But you're right
@Famenz: I think it should work up to v20H, but feel free to try.
D60520d-260-06 - OK
It worked for D60520d-260-06, brand Play.
I am using an older version of KingRoot-4.0.0.233-release-201505071219_105001.apk
Official XDA website SuperSU Me.
Please follow there thanks to @gatesjunior.
Do I need to hard reset my phone before?

Installing the application does not require resetting the device.
root_v2b.zip is not compatible with V20H, gives me "E:footer is wrong" and cancels
Some questions.
- Why supersu me doesnt keep the root ?
- Can't I skip the step 2 and install supersume at the end ?
- Cant we just spy what method king root uses to root and make a root for us ?
- I havent tryed framaroot casue its too wierd that it ask for photocamera access permission... does it work ?
P.S. I just noticed that kingroot could be chinese ? (I see asian chars) And you know that chinese puts spyware everywhere !
(Ok, android it self is a spyware)
P.P.S. King root and framaroot doesnt work for me ! ( vodafone 20g )

You probably haven't noticed this, but the D605 has been abandoned way before even the P71x, and that was kept alive up until somewhere in 2016. It's quite safe to assume your questions will probably never find answers here.
About the spywhere, every piece of electronics is spying on you. If you want privacy, go live in the mountains.
literally there's no file to put on the phone because media fire is gone...
Trying to root an Astrotab but I'm not able to connect the device with usb debugging because I don't have the correct USB drivers on my windows 10 machine. After scouring the web I've been unable to find any in existence and hopefully someone here has been able to do so or knows of some workaround. I'm new to rooting and I am using an application called oneclickroot , I don't know if this is the best method but the software isn't recognizing the device due to lack of drivers. Here are my device specifications below
Model A935
Android version 5.1.1
Firmware Version v3.3rc5
Kernel Version 3.4.39 [email protected] #9
Build Number A33_U92C_U992HB2C_1510077.20151228
root apk
try to get some rooting apk on tablet, and try to root with that
Which do you recommend? I heard that kingroot leaves behind alot of bloatware that is hard to get rid of
UPDATE
Still not able to locate any ADB drivers for windows 10 on this device. Tried non pc apk's Kingroot , Towelroot/Iroot. Still no success , any help would be appreciated.
Working...
After 4-5 grueling hours finally got it working! How do i know if this is temporary or permanent root? I used root checker and it says it is properly installed on this device. Only thing there seems to be alot of bloatware on my device now. How do I tell what is safe to remove? Some crap called one click , app cool , etc was removed and I lost root access. Re-did process and got root again but still have the same chinese applications present on my device. App Cool , King root , superUser.. My question is do I have to deal with having them on my device , or is there a safe way to remove them without losing root?
app
Remove all except Superuser because it is main root aplication

Anyone on this forum helps? I got it back working but I need a recovery for this device. It;s not present when booting into recovery mode. I am looking to flash or backup the ROM. Where can I get this for this device?

I need this too. If anyone has a backup of the original rom it would be great.

Can you explain how you got it to root properly? I tried king root application on windows 10 but I couldn't get it to root. It's all in Chinese, as well.
I easily rooted this tablet with KingRoot then used the KingRoot to SuperSU script to get KingRoot replaced. But mainly I'm commenting because I just wanted any tablet owners to know that I have the stock firmware and flashing tools (windows) that u can use to get the tablet back to stock or save yourself from a bootloop ( I can confirm this because I bricked mine using substratum lol) Also I can confirm that marshmallow will b an option sometime during Q1 of 2017 as quoted from insipira.
Sort of....
The Marshmallow update will only work on A10 tablets manufactured after October 1, 2016 (according to the folks at Inspira) Unfortunately, it will give you a white screen and nothing more on older versions of the hardware - I know. I have one. I tried. It doesn't work. Save yourself the frustration. The biggest pain with the A10 is that the bootloader is locked and attempts to unlock it are a waste of your time. If you brute force KingoRoot on it, it will not survive a reboot because of the unlockable bootloader. The vendor is unable (or more likely unwilling) to provide an unlocking code which tells me future tablet business for self and clients will have to go elsewhere. PITY - it is a really nice little unit but not worth calling in the NSA to try to root it. Oh well, lots of other inexpensive Android Tablet vendors out there.

Can you explain how you were able to unlock the bootloader?
I have the same device and I've been unable to unlock the bootloader. I can get ADB working, boot into recovery just fine, but I can't figure out how to boot into the bootloader, whenever I try to (either using the adb command to reboot into bootloader or using recovery itself) it just shows the "Astro Tab" logo and gets stuck like that forever. I made sure to enable the option about allowing OEM bootloader unlock in the "Developer Settings" window.

Can you explain how you were able to use KingRoot to root this? I downloaded the apk from http://kingroot.net, installed it, and clicked the "Try Root" option, but it got stuck on the "Acquiring Root" step after a few minutes and completely crashed.
Here is a picture of where it got stuck: https://i.imgur.com/L4Pxtjn.jpg I couldn't even screenshot since system was frozen, and even connecting via ADB didn't work at this point. The reason I noticed that the device froze was because the clock did not update (it was around 8:30 when I took the picture, not 8:16 as shown).
I'm also having an issue unlocking the bootloader -- I can't even get to the bootloader (see my earlier post for details) but that's a whole different issue.
