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

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

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

you followed all the directions on how to install sdk and uninstall old drivers ect http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608 again the last 3 pages here are about installing the sdk to get it to see ....like I said before if you have done this and follow through and not just looked at it and thought it might not work then there's probably no help for you.

You have the JDK & Android SDK installed? Occasionally I had issues connecting to adb when recreating previous bootloops & soft bricks. It seems that it gets hung up in a stat that Windows doesn't like. The only way I could get adb to function at these times was to run a Linux distro or on a Linux machine. You can download the wubi installer for dual booting Unbuntu, which is what 99% of people that have had issues have done to regain adb access. Linux just seems to play better with Android & the Android SDK tools, which really isn't surprising.

NO. This is not an OMAP device & it does NOT use uBoot, so factory cable is useless. Try a different USB port. Also, if you installed Linux, you still have to install the Java JDK & the Android SDK. There are some guides for setting up a build environment, which is pretty much what you need to do to really be able to use the tools in Windows or Linux. Taske a look here: Setting up a build environment in Unbuntu
You don't need Python or Gnu, nor the modules, but you must sdet up the JDK & the SDK & then set the paths.

as I said maybe something will come through QPST
at least QPST detects Kindle HDX 8.9 (gray logo and then a black screen) with factory cable
I also lock the device after editing build.prop
but I lack the knowledge and skills to continue this way (in order not to kill the device)

Yeah, I don't read chinese & google doesn't do a very good job translating it, so, not gonna even try.
HOWEVER, I do know that you will need the Lab126 HSUSB driver. I don't remember if this was the one I used, but it was similarly named, I think this is for the BC radio stack diagnostic bulk mode originally & worked for the HDX. http://www.driverscape.com/download/lab126-hs-usb-diagnostics-0800-(com39)

You'll have to search around for it. Lab126 is the company that makes the HDX. That page only shows you the various driver names, the correct com port & identifies what device you want to see in device manager once you get QPST set up properly.

if kindle bricked (for example after a failure edit build.prop - gray logo and black screen), pc not detect device with standart microusb cable, driver can not be installed, adb not working.
but if use factory cable (buy or make), then the device connect as a usb bulk. you may install the first driver to it.
further steps to recovery does not exist yet

Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :
Install windows 10
Install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS)
I received the magnificent AllDoCube i6 Air 3G last week, and i've been struggling since to get updates,
firmware flashing and all of that working, I searched the whole web and the drivers/Firmwares are nowhere to find,
but on some chinese proxy-needed sites sometimes, or baidu which is a pain in the a** to download from.
So I decided to share the ways to update this tablet at all costs (heh, no worries, -NORMALLY- it wont brick)
Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.
THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN TESTED ON i632GB1537XXXXXXX MODEL, AND WORKS ON IT,
WHEREAS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT i632GB1522XXXXXXX MODEL BRICKED UPON DOING IT,
SO PLASE DO IT CAREFULLY, IF THE INSTALL VERSION IS 202 YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE TRIYING AS IT COULD BRICK!
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
What you need:
Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)
Flash Drive (256Mo +)
OTG cable
USB Hub (3 Ports recommended)
EFI BIOS Firmware
DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE BEFORE STARTING SO EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE WHEN YOU DO IT
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing
Get on the drive, go to your device folder, select the wanted version inside BIOS folder
What to do :
1.) Start by plugging the usb drive into your computer, and format it to FAT32 using any formatting tool
2.) Now you need to uncompress the downloaded firmware :
you will find a "Firmware_X.X.X" folder inside, take all of its content, and extract it to your freshly formatted drive.
here's what looks like the root of your usb:
3.) Your USB Drive is ready, now just plug the OTG cable to your tablet, plug your HUB onto that OTG
and fill it with your keyboard and the USB Drive just created.
4.) Press power button until you see the screen backlight, when you see it repeatidely smash "Esc" key on the connected keyboard.
You will see the bios 6 square configuration screen.
Hit "Boot Manager" and select your USB in the list.
5.) The tablet should now boot from your USB, booting to a UEFI Shell. Depending on your device, it might be either 64 or IA32.
Now you just let startup.nsh script do the firmware flashing init, it should drive you to a flashing BIOS screen.
6.) Follow instructions on screen and let the tool flash your BIOS automatically.
Once done, the tablet will shut down.
Congrats! You successfully updated your BIOS !
It is my first tutorial, i will post some photos of steps in the future so come back, the guide will be better soon !
Regards,
Max.
Hi,
I have bought the Cube i6 Air 3G a week ago and i'm still waiting for it to arrive.
Have you update the win 8.1 to win 10?
Does everything works correctly?
Regards
re
Hi, I successfully updated the BIOS as of now,
I changed the bootloader animation to nexus one on Cube ROM.
I also manager to boot on Android x86 but it had too many drivers issues.
Still, 4.4.4 stock cube is working and i reflashed to a new partition scheme of 9Go
and i'm currently testing some win10 pen drives for install, will keep you updated.
Édit: oh you were asking about thé tablet? Weil jack has default, charging takes hours, glass is plastic, firmware is pain but hell this is a goodamn good tablet for its price !

Max

I achieved installing Win10 x32 Pro on Cube i6 Through hacking WinPE installation environnement, but now i'm struggling finding the drivers. touchscreen, battery and vital things like hd graphics are not working as of now. Will post a tutorial on how to install Win10 in given time when i'll get out of this mess!
My tablet has arrived yesterday.
From what the little i've used it, it has good performance especially in android.
A lot faster compared to my last android tablet (Cube U39GT).
Something i didn't like was the size of the icons and text in android, my next step is to root and change the dpi.
Regarding windows 10, i found in a chinese tablets blog with win 8 and 10 drivers.
I haven't tested it, but as soon as i find it again, i will let you know where to download them from.
You haven't tried the normal win 10 upgrade? From the microsoft icon?

I did not try anything as i like "stock" versions of my windows, but tonight i got it working all the way !
My cube i6 is running perfectly windows 10 and oh my god what a paradise it is ! The tablet experience got way better onto that version.
Can you try to update from the icon you are talking about ? i'd be curious if it works. anyway, i'm currently writing+uploading for the win10
tutorial for this tablet, so you'll be able to flash it late tonight, or tomorrow.
EDIT: The dpi is correct in android, only the status bar icons and some other are not in correct dpi but that is KitKat issue I guess. still interested in resolving that though. I'm currently hacking android lollipop ROM also, i'll keep you tuned on that. For rooting, i used KingRoot, it worked, but after a reboot, it tells me "root" is wrecked, so i guess there is some investigation to do there, but I was mainly focused on getting windows 10 ENGLISH STOCK version running to share it with you guys.
EDIT2: Still uploading, but tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-how-to-install-windows-10-t3252042 and it should work on any Z37xx powered device. Enjoy !
Hello,
I'm using this tablet from 2 days now. great !
But, i got wifi problem after sleep : wifi chip cut and never found network anymore.
has to reboot, and all goes right.
same in win and android.
Did you hear about this ? many poeple complain about this.
Any trick or advice ? Is this bios correct this ? Is your bios work on i6 3g dual-boot ? (there is 2 bios for dual boot ?...)
Thanks !
Hi,
I've also have the same problem with the wifi.
I usualy disconnect the wifi and reconnect it, but sometimes it doesnt work and have to reboot the tablet.
I've not noticed it in windows but maybe it's because i'm using the tablet a lot more in android.
I've tryed to update to win 10 using the microsoft icon, but i got an error and was unable to complete the upgrade.

Hello, i have such a tablet for now about 6 Months and it is awesome so far (i often use win8.1).
My Tablet has also DUAL Boot with Android 4 and win 8.1 Bing.
I tried to upgrade to win10 but i also got a message that the partition can not be resized by windows. So i cant upgrade to win 10 with the normal tool from microsoft.
Is there any Solution yet to get this to work?
Anyway, i tried to boot from usb (win8.1 / ubuntu / gparted) but it is not working at all. When i try to boot true windows Advanced Boot Options, the BIOS says that there is no USB device.
When i use the EFI Shell to mount the USB Stick i can see that the BIOS has recognized the USB Stick.
I think that is all very strange, but i will try to update the BIOS soon. The serialnumber is not the same as from @stalker2106 but i will try it.
I hope there is a way to get win 10 working, but Ubuntu would be even better for performance.
Greetings from Germany.

Check windows 10 Post, there is no need to update BIOS to fix this error, your USB has to be in GPT partition style, check answer on the other thread
But usually the bios update should work, as it did on my tablet. But why bother taking risk if you can get it working without it
Hi,
I have sucessfully updated to win10
I have bios 203 in my cube and serial i632gb1510xxxxxxxxxxx, does anybody have tried to update to 206 on such setup ?
What are the chances that I will brick my device ?
I have downloaded latest Cube i6 roms from cube site (may 2015) . There are two bios-es which have to be installed in chronological order.
Shall I do it first, and then try to update to 206 ?
Edit: I was not patient and tried it on my own.I have successfully updated bios and tablet has started to both android and windows
I will perform some functional tests afterwards.
Actual steps :
I have first downgraded bios to 201(provided here )
Flashed bios1 from link provided
Flashed bios2 from link provided
Flashed bios 206 from guide in first post
Edit2:
I have tested basic functionalities like : Gyro-sensors, WIFI, GPS, 3G network and yet everything works like charm.
Maybe a placebo, however I have the feel that android runs like two times faster
I do suggest to update the windows, however I take no responsibility if you will brick your device. Even if the setup is like mine, neither if it differs
Regards
Why do you first downgrade to 201?
What do you mean with bios1 and bios2?
Many thanks and question
Hello Stalker,
I am new here and i want to
thank you for the instructions!
I bought a cube i6 from china.
It is the 'i6 air remix',
So it should have only Android on it.
When it arrived. it didn't function.
The only think that happens is booting to theEFI-shell.
I could switch between Android and Windows in the boot settings.
But Android did not boot.
I have updated the bios with your instructions
now firmware 2.0.6 is installed.
But still i can not boot Android.
I found a few flash tools and android for the cube i6 .
But i don’t know what is the right version flash tool I have to use.
Maybe you have advise or the right android and flash tool in your google drive download area?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

The truth is, the 206 BIOS provided is hacked off i6 remix repository from cube, so i guess there is no big deal flashing it on your device as it works on regular i6.
Moreover, you can use any version of the flash tool as long as you flash a correct rom for your device, which i would suggest to download from official cube repository or geekbuying or so.
Android Geecbuying
Hello Stalker,
Ok. Thank you!
I will try Geecbuying.
Hopefully the windows drivers will function.
There isn't a way to flash from USB I suppose?
Greetings
Hi, well, actually, you should flash over USB with à windows computer. MFT by Intel is recommended. I shall make some tutorial about Android installation and partition resizing.
flash and resize partitions
That is super. When you want to do so.
I was indeed wondering or there would be one android partition on the tablet or two partitions (one for android, one for windows).
I also questioned myself how to see that there are partitions.
In earlier times when I was working with a pc, i use F-disk or partition-magic for this kind of work.
But on the tablet I do not have a clue...
So if you could make me wiser on this, I would be very thankful.
Maybe you could boot on some gparted liveusb? Or inside efi shell some commands could help

no particular reason, I just wanted to know, which version of bios is in the latest firmware provided by geekbuying
Additional condition in my decision mechanism was that my serial did not match mentioned ones in w10 thread from stalker, so somehow I have used sleepy sloopy logic and tried to minimalize the risk (I know it have no rational reason and logic behind it at all)
Therefore, I tried the ones from geekbuying repository, to be sure to have latest provided from "official source".

Dear friends!
I finally decided to say goodbye to my drm keys and root my tablet. But the problem is adb comand line was waiting my device for ever. Thus, I started to investigate my problem. Finally. I've understood thet the very wanted driver is not installed when I took a look at "S1Boot fastboot" device. As I've understood the android_winusb provided by sony is not enough to install driver successfully. You should put android_winusb into this thing http://developer.android.com/intl/ru/sdk/win-usb.html as I did. But my windows 10 x64 tells me that it found a driver but encountered a problem. So what should I do? Please, help me out.
PS I don't wonna install giant-full android studio, because it's too huge and takes a lot of time to be installed

I finally decided to say goodbye to my drm keys and root my tablet. But the problem is adb comand line was waiting my device for ever. Thus, I started to investigate my problem. Finally. I've understood thet the very wanted driver is not installed when I took a look at "S1Boot fastboot" device. As I've understood the android_winusb provided by sony is not enough to install driver successfully. You should put android_winusb into this thing http://developer.android.com/intl/ru/sdk/win-usb.html as I did. But my windows 10 x64 tells me that it found a driver but encountered a problem. So what should I do? Please, help me out.
PS I don't wonna install giant-full android studio, because it's too huge and takes a lot of time to be installed

It happens because the driver are unsigned. You can install it by disablIng the drivers signature enforcement control momentarily.
In win 10 hit the maj key and click on restart a menu appear click on Troubleshooting -> advanced options -> parameters->restart. Install the driver and reboot.
Thanks for your help guys. I've finally rooted my tablet and I used windows xp on a virtual machine. I'm also sure that flashtool can be used virtually. It's much better than fighting with windows 10. After all, I did a mistake I flash twrp adb as a kernel and my tablet was finding no way of loading except for tarp, and the screen was untouchable. Nevertheless, I had to connect my pc and twrp and use a command which do fastboot reboot, flash adroplus kernel anew and flash twrp properly. Xmodgames and lockpatcher work well. Xposed haven't tested yet by me.
By the way, what is the difference between "twrp adb" only and "tarp not fixed"? What's better?
PS After all, I'm happy with the root, I bought an android device not in order to be without root. Sony album application works as well as it was

Please do It's easy to uninstall if it causes problems, but when it works, it opens up so many possibilities.

Good! I completely agree. Having root access on Android is fantastic.
Here was a Guide. Someone said people don't care about Me or My Work so...
This doesnt work on US model of Xperia 5 IV ( XQ-CQ62) because Sony isnt allowing bootloader unlock in USA.
Meaning you cannot get unlock codes for your phone thru sony website ,thats a crucial step in this guide.
hello, i've tried flashing the patched file onto my device but it just seems to bootloop, i'm currently running 64.1.a.0.857

Wow......glad I got the JP version of a new phone for once! Otherwise it's still blowing my mind that Sony itself isn't scrutinizing root like damn-near every other manufacturer as of late.
It's been more than 7 years since I rooted my last phone. Now is everything very different. Thanks for the thread, I know what I will do this weekend.
Just got my 5IV (UK) and exactly the guide I was looking for but just a simple question
My last personal Sony was the Z3C and unlocking bootloader/rooting that had drm issues with the official camera etc
Does unlocking bootloader with 5IV have any app issues, do the camera apps all work exactly as before and any other imporant Sony apps?
Will I be able to use Sony OTA updates?
If all good, I'll be unlocking and rooting this weekend, cant wait.
Thanks

Bruh! You and me both!! I finally rooted my Asus Zenphone 6 this past October. A bunch of reading and forums lol. Also back 7-8 years ago there were plenty of Youtube videos. Now not so much! My Zenphone 6 just died today and I am 90% sure I'll be getting the Xperia 5IV which I was eyeing since announced. I was hoping my Zenphone would have given me one more year, but alas. I'm visiting here to get the scoop on rooting this in the event I want to. I feel your pain!

HI, not sure if you solved it, had the same issue. So, as it gave an option to do full user reset (or something like that) I chose it. It then rebooted and I was back into the phone with the initial setup again.
I then re-installed the latest magisk app and it showed that magisk/root is installed.
As a test, I then installed f-droid and installed Adaway. I chose to configure in root mode,
the 'grant access' dialogue popped up and boom, root access provided.
Btw, if you do want to install Adaway too, enable systemless host in magisk preferences.
Trying it now... It's a bit of a hassle, but that's on Sony.
Edit: yep, works an absolute treat. One little remark: Wiping after installing Magisk isn't neccesary, afaict. Perhaps make it optional "in case of weird problems".

So, no need to wipe all user data or?
how to hide root from GooglePay?
So I'm getting stuck on the OEM unlock bit. After entering the command I get this:
...
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
finished. total time: 0.004s

Why would you need to? Play works perfectly fine with non-hidden root.
Either way, try enabling Zygisk in the Magisk manager. You might also have to check to enforce the DenyList, and check the Play app on the DenyList.
But really it's not neccesary in my experience. The only app that refuses to work properly is my banking app. In their infinite stupidity they demote rooted users to a PIN code instead of fingerprint, even though on a rooted device, the fingerprint is still more secure. But I digress, sorry.

I guess it was a catchall. Maybe if you've already been tinkering a lot, it might be a good idea to "start over", since Magisk can completely fluff up you phone if it's being interfered with. However, my phone was completely stock, other than being bootloader-unlocked, so in my case the answer is no, not needed.
No promises though. Just give it a go. Do have a backup ready.

It looks like you started fastboot mode. You should enter bootloader mode for the fastboot command for some reason
Also I had a problem in bootloader mode and had to manually update the driver in Windows for the phone.
When I was in bootloader, the adb devices and fastboot devices commands did not return anything, meaning the phone wasn't found.
So if someone else's phone isn't recognized in fastboot/bootloader mode you could try installing the driver manually like so:
Open the Device Manager in Windows and under under Other devices (probably), there will be a device named Android with a question mark (meaning no driver or problem with it.)
Then right click on it -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for drivers -> Let me pick from a list of available drivers... (you should have installed the drivers from windows (in file explorer, right click, install on the .inf file))
Then there under Android, from Google I had the ADB Interface driver which I selected and Installed it forcefully.
And after that fastboot comand worked normally.

Thanks man, I was in fastboot because when I went to bootloader I always got the message waiting for device. Also weird I had to reinstall the driver each time i went into bootloader :S
@Miustone Hey. I rooted my phone following your guide and I have a question.
Sony have released an update was wodnering if I flash the latest update, will my settings/data be intact? Apparaently the update is only small, just wish I could flash that...not the whole 3.3GB
Thanks
After getting said from some Stock Tree ROM Cookers that People wont miss Me around Xperias (and that i havent developed that much), i just decided to take My Work offline and to remove also My Guides. Sorry for everyone who apprecciated My Contributions but You will get Stock FW based ROMs instead (one Day)! It wont have the quality or safeness of a good old SODP based ROM (since they refuse to work with it on a disrespectful way) but hope You will be fine with it somehow!
All the Best for the future,
Miu
