Not trying to be rude or anything but, did u google it? i thought i saw a lot of pages. i am not sure if ur model is the "Motorola XT800", then you can just use universal androot. btw here is the link to that page: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-android-devices-with-universal-androot-app/

no prob, i'll appreciate every little answer for my q above. it's not a matter of lazy for googling, but i just believe in xda.
everything are well organized here, as i have made my optimus one become greater than before using xda.
Thx buddy...
*sorry for my poor english...

You can also try SuperOneClick. I don't know what software runs on XT800W, but Universal Androot doesn't work in most official 2.2 and later releases.

[Q] How to increase vibration duration of soft keys
HELP!
I have Motorola Glam XT800W running MIUI.1.5.27.Ko Android 2.3.4 and I love everything about it except the limited personalizing options.
My main concern is how do I increase the vibration duration in pressing the soft keys? They are set so low that I can barely feel it.
Another is my notification led lights are not working at all, its not that its defective. I think it has to do something with the rom. How should I fix this?
Is there a way that I can upgrade my phone to MIUI 4.0 ICS? Please advice. Thank you very much!

[Acer A200] Rooting, ICS?

The methods for rooting the A500 don't work on the A200. I was wondering if anyone has had any success with this.
What I really intend to do is wirelessly pair the PS3 controller to it. Works fine over USB without a root, but who wants to deal with cables? NOBODY.
No clear documentation available in the dev forums for it anyhow, if there is a method. The lack of an A200 forum itself had me a bit cockeyed too.
Alternatively I've heard something about programming the tablet's MAC address into the controller? Haven't been having very good luck finding out more information on that through google, either.

At this time there is no root. Tab Is still purty new and has an update about to drop. Seems no one wants to work on it and then loose that work when ICS hits. There is no forum and may never be one. Hard to say. Sucks tho..the lamer a100 has one.....

yeah they just pushed a new update last night in fact.
Would probably be nice to lump the Acer tabs into one forum if thats the case.

Recieved ics update and waiting for root
So I got the ice update to the device and it works great. I'm hoping to see root instructions very soon. Does anybody know if someone is working in this?
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
Cause I can't post URLs yet I found "unlockroot . com"
So I found this site has anyone tried this as of yet. Says it can root ICS for the a200 so I'm actually curious if this works. I'm not able to do it till later tonight so if anyone gets a chance could you let me know if it works?

Tryed "unlockroot"
So I just got home and tried the unlockroot method with no success. i installed the drivers from acer put it in usb debugging mode. Clicked root and it showed the device. I didn't get any errors but the device did not root. Total bummer. If it works for any of you guys please let me know maybe i'm doing it wrong.

How would you know if its rooted?

how to know if you have root
If you install a root application and check if it works that's the best way to know. For instance if you try to install busy box it will fail if you don't have root. If you have root it will successfully install. That's the best way I know off.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Root in progress
There is a thread on AcerTabletForum. (What a pity, no a200 section on xda )
A method to root 4.0.3 leaked is described

samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 gt-p3113 root

i am not sure if i am posting this in the right spot but here is my question has anyone been able to root the new samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 wifi GT-P3113 8gb running ICS 4.0.3 from factory ??? any help would be great even if it is to guide me to the right forum thanks in advance

anybody? trying to root this device.

I just bought the tab 2 7.0. It's pretty nice. I requested that we get a section for it here at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617079
Does anyone know which Mod I can contact about this?

+1 for new forum... so Far loving this thing

Just got mine today, wouldn't you know it, first thing I do is look here for root even though it was just released two days ago.
Please add my vote for a new section.

I am in line too
I am in the same boat. I have tried every root process out there available for dual core Samsung devices and came up with nothing. Two things I would love to have for this device 1. Root(so I can restore my game data from my bigger tab) 2. A Bone stock ICS ROM.....I guess I should say a recovery as well so I can load a stock ICS ROM onto there.

Mine is on it's way from J&R and it's going to eventually be torn apart and put in my dash of my Nissan Altima to replace my headunit... but I def. want to root it before then, hope it can get it's own section and some dev's can root and ROM it!

i'm liking this tab, except of course lack of root yet (want to restore app data from TiBu!), but of course it's super early to expect it. i also don't like that tablet-mode statusbar/softkeys can't be hidden, so when I play fullscreen videos the buttons are always there. other than that, i am a happy camper.

agree, the notification bar always there takes some getting used to.
this needs root badly. apps2sd would be huge, among other things.

*sigh*
I am wondering how the root works an I am positive there are plenty of threads explaining this, my quesiotn is would the root be an exploit for ICS? or it is specific to Samsung?

It could go either way really. Some of the things in stock ICS are still there on Samsung's custom build of it. An exploit for either of the two is worth trying. The real problem is, how many Samsung ICS devices are there? Anyone look into trying whatever worked on the Galaxy Nexus for the Tab 2?

Sorry for the double post, but this is a method of root that could be an Android wide thing and not rely on a specific exploit. I know they use this for things like the Transformer Prime as well as the Acer A200, so I figured anyone with some development knowledge could take a look at it as I am clueless on that front.
Forgot to include the link, duh.

I tried a few things from the Acer side as well and came up with nothing. The only official ICS devices for Sammy are Galaxy nexus, and one of the galaxy S II variants. Most times they are rooted through Odin first. This device needs some pub so we can grab a dev or two's attention.

I'm chatting with a developer in private messages right now. I got him to try the mempodroid exploit and he says that it looks like they have closed the hole. Maybe I should send him a link to this thread.

Yes, please do. If a developer needs anything from the Tablet, mine will be at my house tomorrow... I have access to and know how to use ADB, so I can contribute towards helping get us root!

+1 on this. I received mine yesterday and started any known exploit with no success. If any dev needs me to test something let me know!!! We need this thing rooted yesterday and custom roms tomorrow!!!
We also need a separate forum on xda. Just saying.
BTW, Diablo - awesome idea for the head unit. I'm interested to see how it works out!

I went ahead and sent him a link to the thread so we can document any findings that anyone comes across.

I was thinking of using odin to flash the CWM for a plus 7.0. The possibility of bricking my device and not having backup to flash is holding me back though.
Once we have CWM rooting it should be as easy as flashing a zip file with SU included. Right? I'm in no way a dev, just a guy who thinks he knows what is going on.

There is a system dump of our device floating around here, but using odin is the way to go and using another devices odin method setup as a template is probably our best bet.
If we can install CWM, which would have to be built, then we could theoretically flash a superuser.zip, but I think the superuser.zip is a little more complicated than installing just the superuser.apk. I am pretty sure it also includes busy box and binaries, but I am also not a developer so I am just giving it my best educated guess.

I just got mine a few days ago and I will try to odin if you can find a compatible file. I will most certainly lie to microcenter about it being a brick to get a new one.....Just like I did with sprint. I told them it said something about an update and when I clicked it I lost power when I powered it back on it kept looping. So lets get craking on this

As you guy probably know though, you'll want to be very careful with odin. If something goes wrong or it is flashed the wrong way, you will totally screw your device up.

Just got in the Coolpad 5860E...

So we just got the coolpad 5860E at my metro store. This thing... wow. And not in a good way. It is a larger version of the Wildfire (shudder). 1ghz processor, 512 mb of RAM... it just PALES in comparison to the Motion we got in last week.
Problem is... It will sell better because of the bigger screen.
So, seeing as how we will be offering rooting/flashing and such... Is there any development for this phone (or the LG for that matter)?
I am attaching Quadrant scores for the Coolpad...

fancy seeing this phone outside china.
i got mine in china, slightly different, coolpad instead of metroPCS and no front camera, also only got measlly 256ram
i guess its just a rebranding from the same manufacturer.
BUT juz to be sure. tell me all the hardware spec.
cos there a way to root it for mine, i think.
and will do so as soon as i figure out the chinese writings, and im kinda bad at it for someone whos in china for 3 yrs ;p
any one gud at chinese?
heres the link on how to flash i think.
http://www.dashi.com/guide/776.html
---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
juz did some quick research.
i think that might be a 5860+ in chinese market, with a different body/case
it uses the same chipset, the MSM7627, just diff clock speed, higher ram and better camera.
---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
further research i found the page i think u r looking for.
http://www.dashi.com/devices/765.html
it contains instruction and roms.
ill report back as soon as i flashed and root my device.
but could'nt be sure if it works on ur, cos we have diff hardware config.

I also got a MetroPCS Coolpad because I got tired of paying $100 a month for sprint and my 4G always disconnecting.
I would like to root this Coolpad and overclock this puppy like I have with all my other phones.
Does anyone want to translate the instructions into english from that Chinese website, it would be greatly appreciated.

didnt thought anyone was interested.
anyhow, here's the driver hope it works. let us know.
uploaded the driver for win7, let me know if u need other driver
i baidu search Chinese rom for u guys and found a way to flash the CWM recovery i think
http://bbs.189store.com/thread-56313-1-1.html
requirement:
M$win os,
applocale, or change system locale to chinese/china
DISCLAIMER: USUAL STUFF IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAP, BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH.....
GIVE CREDIT TO THE CHINESE GUYS AND NOT ME, AND SO FORTH.........
1. open the link above and look for "http:删除我//pan.baidu......"
2. copy paste it to ur browser (remove the chinese character ofcos)
3. download the 5860+第三方recovery.rar by clicking the '下载' button
4. extract after download
5. put ur phone into flash/download mode by, turn ur phone off, connect it to the pc while holding the vol- button.
6. after that open the file ~/客服_7kDownloader/客服_7kDownloader.exe
7. chose the right com port that is ur phone, on the topleft of the aplication
8. and press ’开始‘ at the bottom right, wait till it finish flashing.
sometimes it got stuck, and the solution is to check ur device manager for unknown device
and install the driver (the adb driver i think) and after that it should continue, or repeat the flashing process if not.
(happened to mine)
the process is the same for flashing other roms thats on that board that i posted.
fyi its all in chinese but juz look at [ROM] threads.
also u need to register, login and reply to see the link.
but seing u got CMW, i think you guys can start cooking ur own rom.
PS I CANT TEST IT SEEING THAT I GOT A DIFFERENT(OLDER) CONFIGURATION THAN Y'ALL
BUT GUD LUCK.

Tanks for the driver i will install it right away try the cwm after that so i let you guy's now how everything goes

i apologize for the late reply as i have been busy this past few days.
fret not, as i'll ask for permission for repost of the chinese roms, and translate it as best as i can
it should take a couple of days to do this, but i cant test it as i got a slightly a different hardware.
so, in short i'll be providing instructions and data only. the rest its up to you guys.

may be any one could try asking coolpad.us for flashing tool, for rom dump.

I did exactly that. Also asked them for a link to the source code for the current android build as it should be released under GPL. You can boot into recovery on these things by holding both Vol Up and Vol Down and powering on. Once you see the droid, press the soft HOME key to bring up the menu. I can't do much with it yet. Haven't gotten fastboot to work. If you hold just Vol UP and power it it takes you to a black screen with white text that says "=======Enter VIA USB======". I thought this was saying "enter via USB" but after doing a
Code:
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
I noticed a device entry with a Manufacture of VIA Telcom. Still this mode does nothing for me. No luck yet, but still digging.

Hey guys, My friend got a coolpad quattro. I used to own a couple evo shift 4g's and it seems to look like through the android system recovery menu that you would need to downgrade to a different android system by tricking the android system into thinking it was an update via the apply update from sdcard. I am not that tech savvy with development or "jail breaking" android bootloaders but I think it might have to start with the partitioning of the blocks first to find where it is placed in the nand chip. I hope that someone can take what I have offered up as advice and try to make some progress with this.

any progress ? root...unlock...

[Q] UMi X1 review and request for custom Rom

I have bought a UMi X1 from china, am in UK and using giffgaff sim... being playing with the phone since yesterday .. managed to get the internet working by putting giffgaff APN manually, tried to install custom ROM, but all in Chinese, even after you change the language there are still things left in Chinese, so i went back and installed the original ROM phone had. changed the language... phone is quite good, i like the screen and speed is very good as well.
managed to install other apps like Google map, chrome, Skype, and some game.. all work good, but when ever i install them some Chinese permission thing comes up, which i don't understand, but i think i keep clicking green tick and it works
I managed to root it using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460" tried super user and it works (not sure what benefit i get from rooting, sorry am a noob)
I followed instruction for custom roms from "http://www.gizchina.com/2012/10/28/download-install-umi-x1-custom-rom/", still all Chinese.
if any one have a question regarding this phone usage or any other information they required am willing to answer from my experience of this phone.
I would like to know if any one would be willing to develop a clean miui English ROM or jelly bean for this device? or any one willing to help me to develop a ROM ( would need alot of help as i don't know single thing about developing, but keen to learn).

Hi !
Sorry to not answer to your request but i have one question about this phone that i want to buy. The camera is good? In reality it's a 5MP no? Because it's hard to find review about this phone, i know that is a good phone but nothing about the camera. Sorry for my bad english and thanks

UMI X1 roms
I'm also looking for information to root . But also need a rom . Have you got Clockword mod recovery installed ? Please can some one help us to install CWM recovery to UMI X1. Can we use any other rom developed for other MTK6577 phones as this phone also has MK6577 processor.
Any one interested can look one of first article on this topic in English here . Search gizbeat custom rom in google
For a review and video of phone see following: search in google: exclusive-umi-x1-unboxing-and-hands-on

yea, i have done so much to my phone in 1 day, i used shuame tool to install custom roms but kept getting errors, so i installed it manually by going into recovery mod. i installed CWM through google play, but dont know much how to use it, by the looks of it, it not supported with this phone yet. i am on gizchina aswell and asked same question there aswell.

looks like no one is intrested....

how to get some one attention on this?

finally there's a thread about umi (youmi) x1 on xda-dev
i haven't received my phone yet, 7 days using EMS and still in BEIJING seller said because China held presidential election ? so security tighten

I have received my Umi x1,love it but having real trouble flashing the Umi rom,still cant give up.Hoping others will buy phone with more intelligence than me and post,fingers crossed.

I used this method to ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I tried about all the ROMs from Shaume.com
Without keeping track of procedure.. did a lot of flashing and factory reset
I don't know any chinese, so i just pressed buttons with icons I thought would do the job (with the risk of doing something wrong and brick the phone)
There are a few mods wit CWM, so once that one is installed flashing is pretty straightforward.
I'm having trouble to get a GPS fix (the Netherlands).
After trying many different gps.conf files (/etc/gps.conf) and different apps (GPS Status, GPS Test, GPSFix), Manually download EPO files..
Result: 1 time GPS fix with GPS fix.. but thats it
Anyone a bit more luck with the GPS fix?
Something that might be handy:
Boot into recovery: turn off phone first -> hold volume up and then power on phone. release both when UMI logo shows.

Will get mine tomorrow, it's just cleared customs. I'll probably do a custom ROM too, but it might take time as I'm having exams till the 26th of this month.
Also, I suggest OP to change the title of this thread to '[discussion] UMI X1' or something like that. Thanks.

You can do it too, click on 'edit post' and then 'go advanced'. Or maybe a new thread can be started too.
Thanks.
