Used ADB to unlock bootloader but now ADB can't "see" the phone in download mode
I have a Windows 7 PC and I used that with Android SDK to unlock the bootloader and that worked. Now (trying to install recovery) I can put the phone (5.1.1) in download mode and the PC registers the phone in Device Manager but ADB doesn't see it. I've changed nothing with the PC since unlocking the bootloader and I've confirmed USB debugging is enabled on the phone but the command 'adb devices' lists nothing below 'List of Devices Attached'. Has anyone heard of this? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Try go to device manage and look for a device with a strange name using the Android ADB device driver, choose update and look for a driver for LGE ADB device instead.
I did t think think adb works in download mode, and it sure won't work in bootloader
If you are on lollipop then use fastboot to flash TWRP

I'm trying to do the same thing, so far with no luck. I will add that this tablet goes by other names, including Polaroid Q1010, Q10, and M10.
I've tried all the usual Android app one-click root apps (iroot, vroot, kingroot, etc.) and they all failed. I tried a PC program called Impactor, which also failed. I've been able to push Supersu.apk, su, and busybox to /data/local/tmp but can't get any further. I tried an adb sideload of something called Poladoiq10root.zip and it complained about an invalid signature.
I've tried adb on Windwos XP, 8.1, and Ubuntu 16.10. I can see the USB device in Ubuntu but can't mount it. The suggestion here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210) is that you can open nautilus in su mode and then move stuff on the tablet but nautilus doesn't see the tablet even though the USB driver is loaded. In short, a brick wall at every turn.
How hard can it be to root a generic Chinese tablet?

Have you tried unlocking the bootloader in settings? The option is in developer options once unlocked. I'm curious what exactly this does and if it'll help making root possible. I really hope someone figures this out! Maybe KingRoot will eventually get around to it.
I added the st1009 to the list on KingRoot's device request Google doc.
Also have same tablet no luck here on the one click root apps please post update if root comes available

I just got the smartab ST7150 from the Walmart Black Thursday sale for $28
SmartTab ST7150 7inch tablet specs include a 7inch display with an HD resolution of 1024×600 pixels, quadcore processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of memory, Micro SD support, Android 7.1.2 Nougat operating system, front and rear cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 2500mAh battery which should give you a good five hours of battery life. Although GPS support on the SmarTab 7inch ST7150 Tablet is not highlighted by Walmart’s product listing,
I am able to see it fine on both windows 7 and My Linux Mint Mate duel boot configuration. Adb works fine and I can boot the tablet into the recovery mode, but it appears that there is no fastboot or bootloader partition installed on it or it is somehow hidden in Nougat. Diskinfo does not list a bootloader partition but because of Nougat's enhanced security, maybe it is hidden without root? I'm not sure.
it does however, have the option in developer options to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. as far as I know, from my Nextbook Ares 8a root solution thread, this does not unlock the bootloader. It allow the bootloader to be unlocked with the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
One problem is that I can't get a booloader mode. from recovery, when I choose it, it boots to a black screen. It appears that there is not bootloader partition.
Maybe this was done on purpose to foil would be rooters?
have smartab st1009 too

Just checking to see if you have any new info on rooting or backup upsoftware solutions for this tablet
thankyou for your time
Managed to unlock bootloader, but no TWRP I can find.
I did manage to unlock the bootloader on my Polaroid Q1010/Southern Telecom ST1009, running 6.0.1. But I haven't been able to find a custom recovery to install as of yet. The method that worked for me to unlock the bootloader was first enabling developer options and allowing both OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging, then I opened ADB and typed "adb reboot fastboot", and that brought up a green screen with an android logo in the middle. There was no text visible on the tablet, but fastboot commands worked, most importantly "fastboot flashing unlock" which did the trick. Now I just have to figure out how to either build a custom recovery or pull the files needed for someone else to build it, as I'm not a developer, just a hobbyist. I hope this helps, and I'll update if I get farther.
Note: I just noticed that I couldn't detect this tablet at all via USB unless it was undocked from it's keyboard.
Have you tried searching for this model as "Viking" or possibly, "Viking Pro"? Good Luck guys. I had a rooted one. Your journey is an educational one.
i managed to get mine recognized by adb, tryed adb reboot fastboot, gets to the smartab powered by android screen, and hangs. tryed the oem unlock command, since that could very well be fastboot. no responce from device.

Is there any way to update this tablet to latest android I can't find anything on it
Unlocked with fastboot, rooted with Magisk:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
once in fastboot mode (it takes a few seconds or so for the screen to show fastboot mode):
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
I couldn't get kingoroot ro kingroot to root the device. You can use mtk-su from this thread (download to PC, extract and use arm64). Once extracted place mtk-su into your adb/platform-tools folder then push it to the tablet, and follow the rest of the commands:
Code:
adb push mtk-su /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 mtk-su
./mtk-su
That will pop a root shell and make SELinux permissive. If your tablet is on Android 7.0 (Nougat), pull the boot image to internal storage (make sure you are still in a root shell on the tablet. This may have to be repeated):
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/boot.img
Now download the latest Magisk zip, extract it to your PC and open the common folder and copy the magisk.apk to you adb/platform tools folder and install it on the tablet:
Code:
adb install magisk.apk
Once installed, open magisk and select the install option, then patch a file. Select your boot.img you just pulled. Let Magisk patch it. It will be saved to /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img. Then you need to reboot to fastboot again and flash the boot image.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
You are now unlocked and rooted.
I also have an ST7150. I'd really like to root it since 1gb ram isn't worth a damn. I tried a good handful of apps and such (kingroot, framaroot, etc...) all failed. My bootloader is able to be unlocked and I have usb debugging enabled... I guess ill give adb a try and dabble til I get bored with, as Im pretty noob when it comes to software, I went to school for electronic engineering, which is more or less hardware, so I'm hoping someone with some extensive knowledge will delve into this and find us all a solution.

@DragonFire1024 I followed these instructions but I when I get to the step to run "mtk-su" I get this error:
Code:
./mtk-su: not executable: 64-bit ELF file
and just for clarification, I am running
Code:
chmod 755 mtk-su
beforehand but it does not seem to make a difference.

Are you sure you downloaded the proper ARM version of mtk-su? you will have to use arm64 mtk-su. And I doubt that it's been patched.

I did but I think the issue is my version of this tablet is using an Intel atom x3 Sofia processer. And this is for mtk. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct. unfortunately this will only work on devices that have a mediatek CPU.
First of all im legit user of this phone, im aquire this device though legal purcase (i can provide you with my purcase notice).
I have problem with pin locked device, i suddenly forget my pin and now am stuck at locked home screen. Unfortunely this device is soo brand new, im not yet integrating my mi account to this device thus setup pin to this device. So i can not do the normal way of unlocking bootloader by miunlock procedure. Since i not yet link my device to my mi account i cannot unlock it via mi unlock.
I already try few ways of flash include using linux: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb, but when i send "adb devices" command it show no device. I think it caused by locked bootloader.
Any help or suggest will be helpful. Thanks
What device MTK or SD?
Thanks for responding.. Its MTK
So first of all you need to use SP flash tools to flash a new ROM & you can do that without unlocking your bootloader but you will lose all your data using the following method:
http://en.miui.com/thread-371349-1-1.html
As for your adb commands ie (adb devices) they will work regardless of bootloader state.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve by using (sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb)? but anyway there is a way to remove the pin but that requires root & USB debugging enabled.
Thanks for the link, i'll let you know if its working. About the (sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb) command, its debian/ubuntu command to install adb tools

Thanks mate! The link you provide is show me the right path and its work.
No problems, your welcome.
This device uses the same command as the Pixel 2 to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
So far I have not been able to successfully flash an entire factory image. I tried a single partition, /vendor, with success.
Let us know your results with flashing!
Does it require unlock_critical?
Is there a different set of update fastboot drivers needed to unlock the bootloader? My phone and cord are recognized for adb commands but nothing for fastboot ones? Never mind had to do it from a Windows shell as min fastboot would not work.

I ran into the same issue and downloaded the latest platform tools and it unlocked fine. I just had to unplug the phone and replug it in while in fastboot for my laptop to recognize it.

I tried on a different PC with Windows 7, same issue. ADB Loads and detects, but fastboot doesn't.
It shows under ADB Devices but when I type, adb reboot bootloader.
The phone goes into fastboot mode, but isn't detected when using command, fastboot devices.
Drivers and eveything is setup correct on it too.
