[Q] Rooting an allwinner a33 tablet using stock recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I have an old 7" allwinner a33 tablet running on android 5.1. I was looking for ways to get root access on it.
So I've found a root method on recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a-pain-to-root-cheap-allwinner-a33-tablet-please-help-me.3564543/), it was flashable but the su binary wont let me update.
I think the reason is that it was intended for an older version of android.
Also I've found an universal android 5.1(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-android-5-1-lollipop.3064642/) root for custom recovery, but doesn't run because my recovery is stock.
My goal is to replace old files from Update.zip to newer files from UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip.
Most likely I will need to rewrite updater-script from Update.zip too.
Any advice is welcome.
P.S Signing an archive is not a problem for me, I've already successfully modified an updater-script in Update.zip to remove bloatware.

Help to unbrick Allwinner A13 e-reader

Hello.
I own an e-reader built on an Allwinner A13 platform. The device is a Bookeen Cybook Muse.
I have bricked it, but do not have any flashable ROM. But, instead I got here; this guy managed to create custom rooted ROMs for this kind of ereaders by manipulating the updating package, which is automatically read and applied when the file CybUpdate.bin is detected in the flash memory.

Is there any way to make a ROM suitable to be flashed into the device with livesuit (Allwinner's flashing tool) from the files contained in the update package? (it is simply a gzipped tar) Or can anyone figure out any other way to unbrick it?
Thanks in advance!
Help, please, I need to unbrick this device.

just install twrp then install supersu v.2.71 binary update from TWRP. if u dont want a permanent TWRP recovery, extract the recovery.img then execute command "fastboot boot recovery.img" (assuming you already have the driver and fastboot.exe), and install the supersu binary update like usual. google it. or just port A6000+ recovery
I think you have to unlock the bootloader first. I have tried this option a few times and whilst it says it writes the recover.img, it boots just the same.
Hello!
I'm looking for a way to root my Lenovo A6010.How do I make a full backup of its ROM before I make any changes (like rooting or tampering with the boot loader)?
I could not find a TWRP for Lenovo A6010 on their official page.Can you please explain in more detail what modifications I have to make to obtain root privileges?I found 2 threads where the owners complained about bricking their phones with KingRoot.I need root to uninstall all the bloatware and to remove write restrictions from my SD card.Thanks in advance.
Later edit: I found a procedure for A6000 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/root-root-lenovo-a6000-plus-lollipop-t3199532 that worked for me, I had to change the TWRP img from the package provided there with the one for A6010, you can find it on the 4th page of the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65346556&postcount=33 .
The good thing is that by following the A6000 tutorial TWRP will behave like a Linux Live CD, and the only modification to the phone's OS will be the installation of SuperSU.No changes to the bootloader or recovery partition.

Firmware Allview p5 Lite

Hello guys! As the title says, I need the firmware of Allview P5 Lite (not to be confused with Life), which comes with MT6735M, because I've made some changes without backing up stock system.img and now I need it, because camera isn't working anymore, and I can't get rid of the default launcher, which isn't actually a launcher, it's some testing app (DwBoardTest.apk). Don't send the Stock Rom from needrom site, because that's the one I used to un-brick my phone.
Additional : I used the unpack repack tool from xda to modify system.img in order to get rid of DwBoardTest.apk, but when flashing the modified image, the phone won't boot up. It only boots up with the system image unmodified. Any ideas?
Edit: if not the whole ROM, at least system.img
Did you managed to root the phone? How?
hello
have you managed to fix it ?
thanks
I tried with KingoRoot,KingRoot,(Srsroot on virustotal.com say it is full of virus).I can't find official stock ROM.

ROCO C805 / E1027 ROOT or ROM Android 6 or 7

Hi all,
I've this 8" cheap chinese tablet (MT8163, 2GB RAM, 16 GB storage, 1200x800, dual speakers), that was dead. Board is a V1b
I found some rom on needrom with Android 7 image, although I was said it originally came with Android 6.
Both rom's for ROCO C805 and/or Philips E1027 flash ok (the bootloader was gone and now, using the bootloader from E1027 I can flash either rom), but the device has no audio on speakers.
My guess was a bad port and I tried to change system.img puting libaudio*.so from other rom's. The problem is that I can't root using any of the methods I found and used before, and I cant repack system.img cause the system will not boot showing errors due to the files I changed.
I was able to unlock bootloader but I can't root with standard su from sd card or using the tools such as mtk android tools, all-in-one. when I flash the recovery.img (cwm, twrp, etc) the device simply will not boot and stay on the bootloader (fastboot, etc.)
So I'm pretty stuck here and don't know what to do next. I don't want to quit because it is my young sun's tablet and I want to learn from this as well.
Thank you for all your help.
Please post any questions needed!

Firmware Files for Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A30?

I am new here, so uh... hi!
I'm looking for the boot.img for my *unrooted* Acer A3-A30.
My recovery mode has some firmware version at the top that reads "Acer_AV0l0_A3-A30_1.132.00_WW_CUS1", so I'll need something like that.
I'm trying to use Magisk to root so that's why I need boot.img
Can someone help me get it?
