The only thing I could suggest is trying the rooting methods of other phones until one works (or finding your own exploit). Of course for the update.zip ones you would need to recompile them for your device.
i figured it out actually, surprise to me.. he he
now i have another question, is there a way to install a compatible google market?
vending.apk keeps failing on the install
Grdm,
If you wouldn't mind explaining how you did it I am sure there are others who could benefit from your experience...
thanks!
I presume that I have the same tablet (at least i have the same specs), so it would be awesome if you could tell me how you made it through.
haina
I'm also interested. Please share. Or PM.
Extremely interested as well been looking online and can't seem to find any info i found a couple of things in chinese that i tried to translate but too much for me if someone can decipher them they may be of help. Here is the website it can be easily translated to english with google translate

for people trying to root mid7005 tablets with 2.1update1
look for {z4root } rooted my coby kyros tablet 2.1update1
I have tried to find 4zroot with no luck.
I have found references saying to download it from the Market, but that's why I need to root. So I can get the Google Android Marketplace.
Does anyone have a less cryptic answer as to where to find 4zroot?
Edited to add:
I figured it out. It's z4root, not 4zroot
Update2:
z4root did not seem to work. After running z4root successfully still can't load YouTube app or Vending.apk, as well as other apps that need root.
Coby Kyros MID7015

Could you tell everyone how you did it..? Thanks.
Any news ? I have the same specs and I want to root my device too. Can you share some pointers or perhaps a tutorial ? Please !
try z4root it worked great for me.
Hi Androids!
Can someone who owns this device please provide me some system informations from apps like mini system info, quadrant and such? And, if you got, intern screenshots of the hardware. Thanks.
Warning: I don't own this tablet, I maybe buy it in a couple of weeks but I don't own it yet.

Thanks!
I found some Tablets with stereo speakers and enchanced NAND memory. Seems like we got the same thrill here as we got at the HeroTab M802. Correct me if I'm wrong but there where also two versions, one with one speaker and one with stereo speakers, right?

Pretty good to know. I will add it soon. Would be nice if we could discover some good/bad things about this devices from some users.
Unfortunately both the PandaWill Site and Forum are offline..
I just got this tablet today and I am already wanting to hack on it Unfortunately the Android ADK cant see it so I can't ADB to it. has anyone else had this issue?
Since I'm not using this tablet now I can't help you anyway. You may wanna take a lookt at the PandaWill forum. They got some new firmware updates over there. Maybe they will fix your problem?
Can you tell me if the backbody is real aluminium or just poor plastic?
PandaWill Thread: http://www.pandawillforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=2660&extra=page=1
Thanks!
the backbody is real aluminium! The touch is from LG and the same like ipad (glas).
Now everybody how i come into recovery?

Hello,
I ordered a Herotab M10 2 days ago on pricedinchina.com. I'm aware it doesn't comeis with Android Market preinstalled and therefore I would like to install it manually if possible.
Regarding the firmware you're mentioning for the Gpad Gforce, are we really speaking of the same tablet? Many specs are different: 8GB flash NAND (Gpad Gforce) vs 2 GB (Herotab M10), Webcam (only Gpad), different batteries, etc...
How can we be sure that we're not going to brick the tablet if we use Gpad's firmware ?. Btw, there are 2 different firmwares on pandawill forum: one for the original Gpad Gforce that didn't come with Android Market and another one for the new version that comes with the Market. Which would be the right one for the M10?
One last question: is there any other way to install Android Market in the Herotab M10 apart from a new firmware?
Many thanks.

Hi, so you live in Germany, as I do. But I won't buy from Furtwangen, heard to much bad reputation about them. But I also don't want to buy from Pandawill
Have a look at your tablet, does it have 1 or 2 speakers?
From the research i've done so far I believe that there are at least 2 different version out of the device (And I don't mean just the NAND difference). Maybe there is one "original" device and one cheaper copy of it like it is at the Herotab M802..

Thank you! I will try the procedure explained in your link... I'm really a newbie so I was expecting a simpler method (such as a third party apk that could be run from the SD, for instance...).
I will let you know when I receive the tablet!

And you're not wrong with thinking of that. Since Android is an open-source plaform there are several alternative markets, just google for SlideMe, N-Market

i have the original one with one speaker on the right side. i know the problems with furtwangen, but its better to buy from germany as from china. If you have a problem with the tablet, you can send it fast back. send back to china costs 40-60€. So have a little bit trouble with furtwangen is better then have much and expensive trouble with china

Well I think I will wait until the PandaWill site is up again, and then maybe wait until I can buy this device from eBay Germany. It's pretty new though so give it a lil bit of time.
But apart from that I'm assuming you don't have the original one, do you? Because the PandaWill's version is sold with a camera...?
Something new about firmware related issues you may or may not have. Again I'm not owning this device ATM so all I'm saying has not been proved by myself.
As far as it looks now the Pandawill company got connections to the producer of this devices. There are 2 version, one "old" GPad which has no official market by stock and has no Gpad logo on the back, and one "new" version of it which has both.
You may check your device and decide whether you got an old or a new version. If you're done checking there are also 1 firmware update for each version available at the Pandawill forum (Please look at the links in the first post).
Further there is another version from a user in the Pandawill forum that he labeled "clean imx515 2.2 froyo build". You may also want to check out this in the first post.
Hope this helps a lil bit.

Ehm.. you may find one, but it won't bring you any further. The developers of this device haven't just removed the Market (vending.apk) for no reason. They did it because there is currently no way to get a Google ID, which is required to use the market. Another apk you would download from the net will end in the same result.
But anyway, haven't you tried some of the firmwares mentioned in the first thread? Because there should be an firmware with working market for both the old and the new gpad version.

Thank you again! I haven't received my tablet yet (and it won't be shipped before Feb 10th because of the Chinese New Year...) so I haven't been able to test anything yet.
In any case I must admit I'm not 100% confident about installing a Gpad Gforce firmware on the Herotab M10. I haven't seen any reference about this procedure and its results anywhere yet and I wouldn't like to be the first to test it with my limited knowledge... It's not a U$100 tablet!
I will keep you updated. Thanks again for your support!

Well, I stil assume both to be the same devices, but of course I don't know it. I don't think that you can constant damage your device because even if they aren't the same they are quite equal. So the firmware bust be quite equal too. The most horrible that could happen is that you won't be able to use your device anymore. Then you would need a HeroTab M10 firmware. But again i'm 90% sure they are the same.
Please send me a link where you bought it.
So I bought 2 x All Winner A13's cheap off ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400337692134?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) so I could talk to my kids when Im away working using Google's "Talk" app. Turns out when the tablets arrived, the App wasn't installed. I cant find an APK file that works and Ive even tried instal GAPPs for 4.0.x with no luck.
My tablets are reporting themselves as:
Model Number: SoftwinerEVB
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: 1.5
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+ [email protected] #80 Wed Nov 7 15:50:24 CST 2012
Build Number: nuclear_evb-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121108
Please can you all tell me how I can find and install the "Talk" app which is installed on pretty much every main stream Android device out there but for some reason not on my A13's.
Thanks all and have a great Christmas everyone!
I think I found it for ya!
Hi, Ive been searching for help on the Tablets I got,

Ahh sounds good I'll PM you now..
If anyone has bought an A13 and cant install from the Play Store go into Settings -> Applications and go into every Google App and delete its cache. Reboot and you should be ok.
Hi,
I have to same tablet and would really appreciate if someone could share with me any Google talk app/ Google + that would work.
Thanks in advance.
PS: for $52 this tablet rocks !
Hi guys n gals,
I've bought what was advertised on eBay as a "SanYi V12" android phone, it's quite good, but I'd like to change the droid rom on it - only problem is, I have no idea which build of rom to use as I don't know the make of the bloody thing!
Is there a way of finding out? I've looked in About Phone, and it's running Android 5.1, Model number V12,
Kernel version 3.10.72
[email protected] #1
a rather long Build number that starts with X5
Custom built version
ALPS.L1.mP6.V2_YUANDA6580.WEG.L_P2
???????????????????????????
Hope you can help!!
