I can help you get rooted. First you will need to install drivers on your PC so your device can communicate with the root program. Then try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43163569&postcount=7
If that dont work, let me know. You can always use MTK Droid Tools and SP flash tool to pull your stock recovery and port it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a simple root.zip
Hope this helps!
usb drivers
thanks Klown80, that looks like it should work, but first i need to install my usb drivers, i have loked at a ton of sites and they all didnt work, i need spreadtrum usb drivers, but can't figure out wich ones, a few said they all worked on any spreadtrum phone, but either im installing them incorrectly, or they simply didnt work,
again, thanks for any help in advance

Try using this, it installs drivers for many different phones, it may not be the actual manufacturers drivers for your specific device but it will help get your phone talking to your PC:
http://www.snappea.com/
Also - Make sure you are going into settings and turning USB debugging on. You can usually find this under Settings > Developer Options.
snapea
Again, thanks Klown, but no joy, i tried serveral times and after 15 - 20 mins of "fobulating" (is that even a real word ) my phone it said "failed to processs phones data" i tried restarting both devices etc and a couple of other thing suggested but no joy.
Any other ideas, as always thanks in advance.
Paul
oh ps, i also tried to connect to snapea via wifi, but got the same message

Go here and download MTK Droid Tools from first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
Run the program and connect your phone to PC, this tool will tell you lots of info about your phone but the main function is to possibly back up your stock firmware (This is good to have if you plan on trying to flash anything to the phone, this way you will have your stock files to fall back on in case something you flash to the phone does not work.) Once you have MTK Droid Tools running and phone connected, what does it say next to Hardware on the phone info tab please?
I am not sure off top of my head about updating to a higher version of Android but this back up step is REALLY important. It is hard if not impossible to find stock firmware floating around on the net for these chinese clone devices. IF you have stock files backed up you can flash almost anything you want knowing you have a way to restore your phone to working order. IF you look around here on XDA you will see tons of posts by people looking for the stock firmware for their clone phone after soft bricking it playing around. Sadly there is not much help for them unless they find someone with the EXACT same phone and are willing to share their back up (if the next person made one theirselves that is!)

Thanks again, while i go to the link and follow the next steps i thought i'd put up the hardware version you asked for
hardware - c913-v1.02
Paul
edit
even though my pc now recognises the fact that tere is a spreadtrum phone in my devices list and i managed to root it ok, when i load up mtk droid tools it says "the device isn't revealed, connect or reconnect a cable"
needless to say i tried reconnecting and it didn't change i downloaded the adb drivers from the link under the mtk link but have no idea what to do with them,
appologies for my ignorance in all of this, but like i said in my first post, i have no idea what i'm doing with all this, thanks

pps the hardware version i posted was from the info on my phone
I found this bricked tablet, it's a generic chinese 7 inch tablet, it has the MTK8382 processor, single SIM, but I can't figure out anything else about it. Is there any kind of universal rom for these things? I tried to install some roms I found online for models with a similar shape but I ended up bricking it, now it just display lines on the display or a white screen when I turn it on, nothing else works. Should I just throw it away?
It's this generic model that can be found on alibaba if you want to buy in bulk and start your awful tablet company: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/MTK8382-7-inch-alps-tablet-pc_60273334448.html
I managed to resuscitate it using a rom meant for a device called IKON 7 Tablet, also known as Royqueen MR706. I had flashed at least 20 roms for similar devices before I found this one. It works 100%, even the camera and the FM radio, so it must mean it's a clone of a clone of a clone with the same source hardware from the same crappy chinese factory. This rom is pretty decent too, moderately fast and only has a few crappy games preinstalled, no malware or weird stuff. It even comes with the google apps (still not giving it my google account), flash player, and office suite.
This is the info from MTK Droid Tools. Any other rom I can get for this device to make it a bit more useful?
Also, it seems like I lost the original IMEI of this device. Is there any way to recover it or give it a working IMEI?
I have the same tablet too!

Hi! I have the same tablet and in my case this ROM not worked.
My tablet is: Mediatek MT8312v. Was bricked, and I tried flash with ROM royqueen MR706D by rp_yonex (maybe you saw it out there) but not revived correctly... showed a IKON logo when it start but the display and touch function failed, the screen is misaligned or is seen as half, i don´t know how say, just not functioned correctly.
But i think that i'm not very away from solution.
Even though the screen does not work very well, I could get this data in the "settings/ about tablet" :
Model number: IK-TPC783
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V18, 2013/11/29 20:10
Buil number: MT83x2_MR706_MR7063L1C2W1.2014031418
Custom build version: 1.19_20140125
Hardware info: MT8312
Please help!
I'm having an issue with a VERY similar device... It's an MR706, with zero markings indicating brand/manufacturer... The motherboard appears to be model K20-MB-V1.0 and there's a chip (not sure WHICH chip) with a brand called FORESEE on it. Anyway - I attempted to update the firmware using that royqueen scatter, and now the thing won't boot at all. Held the reset button, held all buttons, plugged in (it was at 96% battery before I flashed it) - nothing. Wondering if it's totally bricked or if there's some magic that someone can teach me...

You must be sure the exact model to the chip (the big one usually). In my case it's "MediaTek ARM MT8312v". You can search a compatible ROM to flash with the SP Flash Tools.
Or check if this help (mytabletguru.com/how-to-find-chinese-tablet-firmware)

While I'm a fairly seasoned technician, I'll fully/freely admit to this being the first Android tablet I've taken apart. Here's a picture of the innards - help? The only chip with writing/markings is on the top-left - and there's nothing with MediaTek, ARM, or MT - though there is a number that's been popping up in my searches (8382)...

PLEASE HELP ME
I just noticed these new posts in my thread. Unfortunately I'm not able to help any of you because I literally fixed mine via trial and error. Like I said I kept flashing rom after rom until one worked. I bricked it in several ways before getting the right rom, it had all kinds of issues from not booting at all, showing a boot logo and then bootlooping, showing lines on the screen, and so on. I found it by googling for devices with similar hardware.
But honestly, it wasn't worth it to fix this p.o.s.
If you have a similar device you're better off getting rid of it and buying a new one.
Plz pardon my rant but I need major helpppppppppp lol, I've spent days scouring this site & google to try to fix this myself. I've built pc's but delayed learning droid because it's worse then mickersoft from what I've seen. I babysit for a lady raising her 3 granddaughters, they don't have net & were only able to access a few things. Sooo I volunteered to add some games, I was so flabbergasted at the bloat, shear greed and limitations of both versions of dis ui. I wanted to just disable it to use a different launcher but nooo to easy. no good deed goes unpunished lol. I updated the stock to the current as of two weeks ago ota kitkat and it went down hill fast, the dis ui worked for the most part but it wouldn't let me in the settings that's on the nabi mode for no apparent reason.
So not being able to find much current info for dis version, I made the huge mistake of using kingroots apk. it chocked but then work fine except I still had the above problem. no matter what I tried to clean or debloat. I got stupid tired and did a factory reset it now won't boot fully. I only get a pop up loop even in safe mode of nabiSetup has stopped. I can only turn off but can access recovery and the fastboot etc! I give it wins this round lol.
I have tried both win 10 32 & 64bit I only got it to connect once, it said I unlocked the bootloader but nothing can find the device to reboot-bootloader thru adb or NabiLab, 15 sec abd and etc. I'm to tired to think straight and to new to this so I must be missing something. there has to be away to get droid back on it! I can usually access the tablet and the sd card thru win explorer but no matter witch drivers I've tried it will not connect properly or the drivers won't install fully even with drive sig disabled. so it has to be because of the bitmap error I found in recovery or because it won't fully boot to access the usb on the tablet??
cliff-notes
1. the devise will not fully boot I get a nabiSetup has stopped popup loop in normal & safe mode I can only shut it off.
2a I can still get in recovery I tried to flash it but I assume I was using the wrong file nothing would load, but noticed E: missing bitmap stage_empty & stage_fill it seems to be a common droid problem but no info to be found for this devise version.
2b In the device manager fastboot comes and goes or I see a USB device descriptor failed or set address I think it was and pdanet stalls. I'm gonna fdisk laptop again it's had way to many driver attempts to be sure that's some of problem not operator error or usb in a mood again.
3. being brain-dead tired & a droid newbieish. I can't get to the usb to play nice so I can't install twrp. I assume because of the usb drivers ie google and etc not showing up right in device mangr. no usb on nabi which I just remembered the developer options vanished, that's why I decide to reset since what I think is the reset pinhole didn't work?
p.s I can access win explorer most of the time. the common droid/disney folders are showing but I'm unclear what all is missing.. can someone please give me a laymens clue how to get the os back on it. I deleted the cache and etc to no avail. I pieced together other peeps info here but so far I'm special no one has my exact errors lol. my gut says it's fixable from what I have read it seems to makes a difference its a disney version I don't care what's on it as long as it works at this point any ideas or help is deeply appreciated. I'm running win 10 ent 64bit at the moment and it was stock disney version of NABI2-NV7A-US-D with 4.4.1 before bad update of kitkat ota.

It's hard to understand all of that but it sounds like perhaps you deleted some bloat that you should have, you sound like having driver issues, and possibly wrong TWRP version. Need to clear that up and then reinstall the stock Disney ROM.
I'd start here it has all the tools/TWRP/ROM's you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
So sorry hun, toshiba is driving me nuts and I'm having a bad add moment or three lol. I read about you retiring. so I tried hard not to bother you. now I'm really confused. I've read your nabi2 general info post and even ran across your youtube vids. the problem is I'm not familiar with adb. & the included NabiLabGUI drivers, win10 either fails to finish saying it was interrupted. or it just won't install the 32 bit drivers, I thought I as suppose to use.
The 64bit driver 3 out of 4 install but, I can not get the Google Inc, driver to install properly even with the inf file. (ie the android_winusb.inf ) it says the system can't find the file, it can install the older versions from NabiLabGUI or naked drivers. but doesn't show in add/remove and it still won't detect the tablet most of the time lol.
Pda also has conflicts with adb, I got the nablab disney option to detect it but still failed to install twrp saying it can't find devise and I noticed in device manager 2 driver problems that will not let me update manually or they go missing if I try to force windows to reinstall. (device descriptor request & set address failed)
I must be missing something big, I also tried the 15sec and minimal adb. I assume because the tablet won't fully boot up, windows doesn't know what to do with it. when I tried different cables. windows 10 enterprise won't play nice at all now. so I will format again to be safe but lost what to try next.
I guess my questions should be is there a work around or a full inf version of the newer drivers for NabiLabGUI2015 that might work with this demonic disney nabi2.
&
Is NabiLabGUI compatible with .net framework 4.6 advanced services? (I may have to downgrade o/s. on the nabhacks site is says .net 4.5 is a prerequisites.) I don't know much about the app but saw 4.6 comes preinstalled, I can't install 4.5 yet, I saw there has been compatibility issues. and it won't let you revert versions easily if at all.
I'm to tired of this tab to think straight anymore and so grateful any help I'm in way over my head here.
Update
I lost the battle but I won the war, now google & supersu are messing with me as usual but it boots so I win lol :victory::silly:
I have tablet Teclast X10 Plus ((F2D6) Intel Z8300 Cherry Trail CPU. Android 5.1 only. Unable to find any information on how to root this device. Assistance will be appreciated. Thanking you.
Same here, no info from the company. Worse, we are theoretically supposed to be able to install Windows 10, but Teclast does not give any drivers for that. With only 2go of RAM, I don't care that much about Win 10, but not being able to root is frustrating. I've tried fastboot OEM unlock on the device, it said it worked, but it actually didn't
There's no OEM information for stock firmware flashing?
If you go there : teclast.com/en/firmware/ and type: f2d6 , then you have the only thing that they gave us, it's an Intel flash tool with the current firmware and android 5.1. I guess that there is something in there we could start with, but I'm not an expert. Other than that, the company give no support whatsoever and doesn't answer emails.
As for other information: I've tried to root with KingoRoot, it shows successful, my device rebooted, but seems to hang after the second boot stage, unable to load the O.S. anymore. I had to re-flash the device to fix it.
Somebody found a way to root: hispatablets.com/tablets-teclast/root-teclast-x10-plus-solucionado-t8419.html
I’ve never been that happy to know more than one language
If you need help with the instructions (in Spanish), just ask. I’ve tried and it’s working, my x10 plus is now rooted.
Still, the procedure is a bit clunky and I’m sure we can optimize the process (and fixed the reboot needed problem after the --daemon).
This is a good step and it seems like with this and the package given by Teclast we have enough information to do a lot of things… Still, there is work to do…
how i can get dualboot? I need windows 10 / android version but unfortunatelly i bought android only
Found a review saying this tablet has 'upside down' problem. Basically, it displays some apps upside down and there's no way to fix it.
Do you experience that too?
Flyagaric : It's not impossible, but it is super easy to fix (for those with this bug), you just choose one particular position (I suggest landscape), you go in options and lock the rotation. Every apps will properly open in the current position.
Hello XDA Forums,
I have been a guest on the website for a while now when looking for android knowledge and I usually grasp a good amount of whatever I am trying to accomplish. However, the issue I am currently having I feel is considered IMPOSSIBLE to fix and I want to confirm that by this community.
Phone: Blu
Model: NEO XL N110U
Android build version: 6.0
Custom build version (It’s a stock a downloaded, ill explain in a sec)” BLU_N110U_V10_GENERIC_MARSHMALLOW 05-08-2016 16:30
What happened is that about a year ago or so I updated the android version from lollipop to marshmallow using the OTA update (which is the wireless update). Worst decision ever as I found out that this update gave me 4 specific viruses that sends my information over to a Chinese server. Here are links on the virus:
https://www.droid-life.com/2016/11/15/blu-security/
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2016/11/mobile-menace-monday-adups-old-and-new/
https://android.gadgethacks.com/new...be-affected-by-adups-chinese-spyware-0175014/
With this problem, I thought “I can just root my device and delete the files… right”? I never rooted a device before, but I have jail broken iphones, modded psps, and ds so I felt like this would be easy……Turns out its impossible if you already updated to that wireless update with marshellow. I also tried unlocking bootloader and that failed super hard as well! Here is what I tried:
1. Tried Kingroot app – failed
2. Tried kingroot on pC – failed
3. Went into developer options and enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking to TRY and unlock the bootloader. – that part worked……HOWEVER
4. Went into the recovery and choice reboot to bootloader. Then connected my Blu phone to my PC, went into Command prompt and typed, “fastboot oem unlock” (I believe I had to download fastboot and adb tools first). – This was painful for me. It gave me the option to unlock the bootloader using the up and down volume buttons. I need to press “Volume up” on my phone to confirm the OEM unlock……..HOWEVER THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DISABLED. The buttons work, but when I need to confirm the oem unlock, it doesn’t allow me to do this. THIS I BELIEVE HAS BEEN PURPOSELY DONE.
5. I downloaded a stock version of my phone’s rom but at a lower android number (5.1) and tried to flash it to the phone using SP Flash tools. – Failed. It would stay illuminated black and the intro sound would come on but I wouldn’t see anything. I looked into that and I believe that is because there is something called version binding where if I update the version build, I can’t downgrade to use the same exploit.
6. Since the phone was bricked, I wanted to try to bring it back to life by downloading the stock rom for my phone at the same virus build version I’m at now and flash it to the phone. – It worked with viruses and all.
7. I Then thought, “Can’t I use open the rom file and delete the viruses I want, then flash it to the phone?” So I tried that by using mtk extractor which allowed me to open the system.img file for the stock rom which contains the android data. From there I went into the apps folder and deleted the 4 virus apps. Then I packaged the system.img back together into one file and then used that system.img when I used sp flash tool to flash the rom onto the phone. – It was stuck on the logo……I can still access the recovery fine and still doesn’t allow me to oem unlock.
This is where I have given up. At this point, I feel like I would need to learn more about the system.img file and what it looks for in the beginning. I just want to fool it into booting without those apps. I know there is something stopping it from booting because when I go into the recovery part and select the option to do a “root integrity check” it tells me those specific apps are missing. Is there any way to change the root integrity check to not look for those apps?
So I know this a lot of information but I need to write this down for all the steps I toke. I hope that this thread can help anyone with a Blu Neo XL device come to some information. If I can confirm from this forum that there is nothing that can be done. I feel then a law suit with Blu is in order and everyone should throw out there compromised phones. I have seen numerous other posts on this subject and so far NO ONE HAS ANSWERED EVEN ONCE. One pore guy had to keep bumping his thread of months until he gave up; atleast tell me its not possible! Here are the link I saw on this from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/tried-to-root-sort-blu-neo-xl-t3559702
Here are my main questions:
Is it possible to access the root (either via pc with command prompt or linux with terminal or even on the device itself) without rooting or unlocking the bootloader (since both seem to be impossible).
Can you extract a system.img file, modify it, then put it back to get together to flash it to a device without unlocking bootloader?
Infact can you modify any part of the rom or .imgs and flash it to spflash tools? (Or maybe I was doing wrong?)
Is there anyway to figure out how to modify the tamper bit if I have to find a way to get around the virus bug on my device that doesn’t allow me to use the “Volume up” button to confirm that I want to unlock the bootloader? (I’m not even sure if this phone has that, I just saw that for this oneplus and thought maybe it can be on all phones in a different way?) Here is a link on that-

The goal is get rid of the virus that sends my data back to Chinese servers. Also, the goal is to get an answer from the community here to put this to rest.
If you need any information on this or want me to upload anything please let me know.
Thank you for your time!
Bump as I need hope.
I understand people may not have this phone but I need some sort of reply to confirm that this isn't possible. I want this thread to be the first post anyone sees if they type in "Blu Neo XL" for rooting purposes.
Even if anyone that has a phone that is similar that is affected, that would be anyone who has:
R1 HD
Energy X Plus 2
Studio Touch
Advance 4.0 L2
Neo XL
Energy Diamond

Waited around for awhile but now its time be obnoxious. I will bump my other thread as well and just start hi-jacking other threads until mods ban me or someone answers me for once.
bump
bump
bump again and again and ****ing again!
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
another day, another bump
Also, I got a Moto G5S Plus instead finally. It toke me awhile to save the money because I don't make much but atleast I have phone that isn't sending my data over to china.....or maybe it still is sending my data who knows where. Either way, Bump.
Hey man, I didnt read through your entire post. But can't you just downgrade the version to one that is possible to root?
Or you can also get another phone that does have root as an option. Also, I don't think you should bump your own threads. Just wait it out, or ask in other threads for help.
Edit: Oh Man, I didn't even notice someone responded to this! Awesome.
It says in the rules to ask here. So I decided to ask here espcially since this phone doesn't have its own dedicated forum. I got a new phone about a month ago and its pretty good so far.
This is more of a lost cause but I bring this up just in cause other people get affected. I believe the Blu company had to pay the Justice department for this so they got away with it and thats no big deal now of days. lol

Also for those of you out there suffering, the above statement is not possible because the newer versions of Android OS have "version binding" so downgrading to an OS that is lower that way you upgraded to wont allow the phone to get pass the bios or whatever the android bios recovery start name is. (I don't remember right now) Even if you mod the recovery or bios file.
So here it is almost a year later from you writing this post and I have found myself in the same predicament you were once in and was hoping there was answers somewhere, but from the looks of it I am guessing I'm better off just breaking this phone in half and getting myself a new, virus free, root-able phone. Am I correct?
