Download links are in the third post.
There is a wiki entry here that has a bit more detailed explanation. Please note though that as it is a wiki information
quoted in there may or may not be entirely accurite.
you will need to download an nvflashable rom, like prime.
Please read the README before attempting this. The readme is below as well as in the kit, YOU WILL LOSE DATA.

usage
------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage has changed since the release of the last kit, please read
these instructions carefully, as the install method is a little
more complex, (but easier once you use it).
If you downloaded OLiFE.tar.gz you will need to inject the android
rom and ubuntu image. You can use any nvflashable rom with this.
I recommend that you use prime as that is the configuration that
I have tested myself, and the ROM that I support for use with this
device. You can download the ubuntu image from
http://lilstevie.geek.nz/ports/ubuntu.img.gz.
If you downloaded OLiFE-Prime-Edition.tar.gz you will not need to
download the ubuntu image or an nvflash rom as they are seeded into
the image.
Install instructions:
1) Download the specific flavour of OLiFE that you want to use, and
extract it with "tar xvf <filename>".
2) If needed inject android rom and ubuntu image.
3) From the directory that OLiFE was extracted in run the main script
with the command ./OLiFE.sh.
4) Read the text that comes up and answer the question it asks.
5) Follow the menu to the option you want (below is a breakdown of
what each menu item is) and follow the instructions prompted. (also below
is instructions on how to get into the modes requested).
Menu items:
1) Backup Menu:
1) Full Backup (stock)
- Full backup (stock) takes a full backup of a stock
android system. This gives you an option to also back
up your user data(this will take a while).
2) Full Backup (ubuntu)
- Full backup (ubuntu) takes a full backup of a system
that dualboots android and ubuntu, this backs up your
system, and the ubuntu image. This gives you an option
to also back up your user data(this will take a while).
3) User data only
- This backs up the user data partition on your device.
(This option takes a while)
4) Android ROM
- This option backs up the android system only. This
option generates all the files (minus bootloader, and BCT)
required to flash a rom via nvflash.
5) Ubuntu Install
- This option backs up the ubuntu install on your device.
2) Flash Device:
1) Dualboot:
- This option will install ubuntu to your device in a
dualbooting configuration with android. During the
installation process it asks you which OS you would like
to boot by default.
2) uboot (linux only):
- This option will install ubuntu with u-boot and the
ChromeOS kernel that supports acceleration. This option
is currently unavailable, but should be available soon.
3) asus boot (linux only):
- This option will install ubuntu with the asus bootloader
with this configuration you will use all the eMMC for ubuntu
and there will be no android system installed on your device.
4) stock:
- This option will partition the device in a stock way and
install the android system that is in ./images. Use this
option if you no longer want ubuntu on your device.
3) Update Device:
1) Android Kernel:
- This option will update the android kernel on your device
with the boot.img from ./images/. This allows you to install
your own kernel on the device for android rather than the one
that comes with your chosen rom.
2) Ubuntu/Linux Kernel:
- This will update the ubuntu kernel on your device to the version
included in this flashkit. This option is for updating just the
kernel with nvflash rather than using the blob method. This method
is also good for if you flash a bad ubuntu kernel to the device.
3) Android ROM:
- This option will update the android rom on the device with the
one from ./images/. This is good for if the ROM you use is updated
or you would like to change ROMs and there is an nvflash image for it.
This option does not destroy your data.
4) Ubuntu Rootfs:
- This will update your ubuntu image on the device. This is destructive
to data stored in the ubuntu image.
5) Advanced (Unsupported):
- Any option in this menu is not supported and should be considered
unstable. There may be bugs in these options and they are not maintained
at this point in time.
1) Flash ChromeOS Kernel (Primary Boot):
- This option will flash the ChromeOS kernel to the primary boot
partition. This option may not currently work in it's current
configuration.
2) Flash ChromeOS Kernel (Secondary Boot):
- This option will flash the ChromeOS kernel to the secondary boot
partition. This option may not currently work in it's current
configuration.
3) Update Uboot Partition:
- This option will update the u-boot boot partition that u-boot
reads the kernel and boot script from. This option does work if
you have installed u-boot by compiling it from source and installed
it yourself.
4) Flash ClockworkRecoveryMod:
- This option allows you to temperarily flash CWR to the device so
you can update the installed rom. It backs up the current kernel in
the recovery kernel position and then flashes CWR. When you have finished
using CWR you then push any key and put the device back in APX mode and
it will restore the kernel that was in that position. (This only works if
android is your primary boot option at this time).
4) Inject Firmware:
1) Bluetooth firmware (default install):
- This option will inject the Bluetooth firmware from the
android ROM located at ./images/ in to the ubuntu of your
currently running system.
2) Bluetooth firmware (CrOS Kernel):
- This option will inject the Bluetooth firmware from the
android ROM located at ./images/ in to the ubuntu of your
currently running system and flashes the proper u-boot kernel
if you no longer need adb support.
5) Onscreen Keyboard:
- This runs OnBoard so that you can run through oem-config properly
you only need to use this option if you do not have a keyboard dock
and on the first boot.
1) Standard Kernel:
- This will invoke oem-config on the standard kernel installed
on the device.
2) ChromeOS Kernel:
- This will invoke oem-config on the u-boot kernel that is
installed on the device and flashes the proper u-boot kernel
if you no longer need adb support.
Device Modes:
APX Mode:
-This mode is used by nvflash to write files to the eMMC device.
To boot in this mode you press Power and Vol-Up.
Recovery Mode:
- This mode is where CWR or Asus recovery normally lives, but is
replaced by the secondary OS in the dualboot configuration.
To boot in this mode you press Power and Vol-Down, then Vol-Up when prompted.
Normal Boot:
-This mode is where android normally lives.
To boot in this mode you press the Power button until the screen turns on.

Thanks for your hard work, but I'm a bit confused by those 2 statements, contradicting each other :/
Also, if I understood properly, there is no CWM after selecting dual boot
Finally, is this a final release, or for testing purpose only ?
If final, a step by step guide would be very welcome
Edit : Just saw there is the tag [DEV] so forget about my last question (guide)
Wow, amazing work here. Haven't been able to do much to my Transformer as of late (due to uni starting up again, and been seeing how the TF goes as a substitute for my usual netbook), but absolutely can't wait to try this out when I got some time.
And yeah, I'm a tad confused here as well. I'm assuming that you mean the video was of Ubuntu running of your microSD drive using Jhinta's scripts but now this allows us to run it off the internal drive... am I right?
And how is the speed difference so far, running off internal vs class 2 microSD?
EDIT: Also, I'm assuming the same things that didn't work on Jhinta's aren't working on this (network-manager gui, touchpad etc)? Or have you changed things up a bit? And the tegra ppa you talk about; that contain the proprietary 3D drivers you were talking about having a lack of in the video?
Nice to see the post in XDA Good work !

The video was taken before I was stable enough to even think about using internal memory, where as this kit is not using the µSD
and yeah you lose recovery after selecting dual boot, not much we can do about that for the time being.

I started back at uni this week myself, and have been using my transformer as a netbook replacement with ubuntu. The video is using my stuff but before I had it running on the internal memory.
speed diference is massive between the class2 and internal. It was so great of a difference that I forget that it is arm now that it is on internal
the PPA will have things such as kernel updates, bluetooth enabler and all that. as for what is working in the release, things are pretty similar to Jhintas release, touchpad does not work correctly network manager gui doesn't work, I have something to enable bluetooth, that works nicely, but it isn't in the fs or up on the ppa yet. 3D drivers are a work in progress, still no EGL and the likes with the L4T releases, so it is really just acceleration for normal use, I have been working on them but as of yet no dice.
So using the PPA, in theory we won't have to flash the device again (at least for the ubuntu part), it will be able to auto-update itself ?

Ah lovely idea with the PPA. When new 3.2 based Prime gets released, I'll try to get a few hours to myself to get this all working together.
Just a few quick questions first:
How do your scripts change the eMMC layout? Does eMMC work the same as a standard HDD/SSD partitioned with a GPT? As in, have you made separate partitions for Android and Ubuntu, or is it somehow shared?
And also related, how much room will it take up on the eMMC (as I've only got a 16GB TF)?
And finally, since you've been using yours at uni running Ubuntu, have you got any idea of the battery life running Ubuntu? I'm assuming it'd be pretty similar to stock, but yeah the battery indicator wasn't working last time I was playing around with Ubuntu from the microSD. Also, does the second keyboard battery work?

The second battery does work, unless you get one of those dodged ones that just randomly stops charging which happened to me, with the dock connected and the battery in it refusing to charge my battery lasted 6 hours.
the layout is different to standard, UDA(User DAta partition) is 4.2GB smaller than what it was, so you have 9.99gb for android and 4.2 for ubuntu, the kernel and recovery kernels are moved up to the end of the flash as well so that they are accessible through /dev
Just finished installing it. Yea, from internal memory it's working much faster. ~20 second boot time!(I didn't have timer with me, so I counted in the head) That's like my laptop with SSD + 10 second bios booting. With a dock it feels like a true netbook. I think I'll even dare to test c/c++ IDE on this thing. Good job!
Used online timer. It's 21 seconds.
Hmm how do I start wifi? eth0 is not even showing in the list of devices.

Sorry forgot to mention in the first post, firmwares are not included in this release due to potential licensing issues, you can push the wifi firmware via adb to /lib/firmware and also the nvram, they are located in /system/vendor/fw_bcm4329.bin and /system/etc/nvram.txt on your android system, the module will autoload on boot once you have the firmware in place, and the interface will be named wlan0

nvram.txt to /etc right? I copied them straight from android partition, but it still doesn't load. Could it be because of the bcm4329_sta.bin or nvram should be placed in /lib/firmware ?
It works now.
So basically we will be able to dual boot Windows 7 and Android?

the wifi firmware should be called fw_bcm4329.bin and nvram.txt should be in /lib/firmware, I probably should have been a little clearer, but I posted that just before going to bed, and was a little tired

"bcm4329_sta.bin" was already there before I even copied 2 modules and it was also loaded as module when I did modprobe. (not 100% sure about the second)That's why I thought it was conflicting with android's modules.
Wow, great work! Can't wait to try it.

After like 5 minutes of NvFlash installing stuff.
this is a work-in-progress development project for porting ClockworkMod Recovery 5 to Ingenic JZ4770/JZ4760 tablets.
this is not perfect at all. and I'm very busy. progress will be very very slow. I may not be able to answer your question/request. if you have some idea for improvement, please do it freely.
there is no support from any makers/vendors. you must agree all risks by installing non-supported files, it may brick your tablet, and you may lose official support/warranty.
* YOU MUST READ CAREFULLY POST#1, #2, AND #3!
* DO NOT USE IF YOUR TABLET IS NOT LISTED BELOW. IT WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!

* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (for ainol NOVO7 Basic/Paladin, Cruz T100 series, Cruz T301)
1. download recovery-signed.zip for your tablet (DO NOT USE FILES FOR OTHER TABLETS!)
2. (if you are using stock recovery)rename it to update.zip, then put it on root of SD card
3. install update.zip from recovery
on stock recovery, update.zip will be installed automatically. on ClockworkMod Recovery, you need to select menu item manually.
* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (for ronzi A3)
1. download recovery.zip for your tablet (DO NOT USE FILES FOR OTHER TABLETS!), then extract recovery.cpio.img from it
2. make backup of stock recovery
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery.cpio.img /system/recovery.cpio.img.bak

it can be installed from ClockworkMod Recovery 5
- Superuser, su, and busybox for JZ4770 ICS
- Superuser, su, and busybox for JZ4760 Froyo
* random notes
- stock recovery
if you installed update.zip from stock recovery, stock recovery image should be renamed as /system/recovery.cpio.img.bak. (unless you didn't remove /system/recovery.cpio.img)
it can be flashed by "inand_flash_image" command. (use "flash_image" command for T100 series except PT701i model)
- mbr, xboot, boot, and recovery areas
backup/restore doesn't work for mbr, xboot, boot, and recovery areas
- time for reboot/poweroff (NOVO7 Basic)
I don't know why but reboot/poweroff take long time (as same as stock rom). you should wait 1 minute. if nothing is happened in 10 minutes, use reset hole
for now I'm preparing to push my changes to github. I'm very busy so it needs some time.
if you made some.zip file to do something for MIPS Android (e.g. superuser.apk with su binary for MIPS), please tell me. I'll add link to post#1.
if you have some idea for next work, please tell me too. (but, as I wrote, I may not be able to answer your request. sorry)
Thanks for your starting thread and project.
I bought a Advanced model but they send us a Basic Novo7.
All we know the incompatibilites using a cpu MIPS, that doesnt allow to run a lot of Android software that for default its compiled for ARM processors.
Im getting a bundle pack of apps running under our device.

This is great news. If you are wanting to test any work with users on Velocity Cruz t301's which also run an ingenic processor (JZ4760) .
UPDATE: Tried running CWM for the hell of it on the t301 . Stuck at boot screen was able to get back to original recovery however. I'm guessing it might be due to the entry point into the kernel . Since the t301 is ancient Froyo. Would love to take a look at the source
Also here SHOULD be a working SU for MIPs. It work's on the cruz tablets

Attempted using the above stated method(understanding you said DO NOT US file on other tablet) I was curious to see as what kind of error would or may of come up. I'm interested in modifying this for the Velocity Cruz T301 tablet(running a JZ4760 processor) as that community of tablet users has been left under the dust. Now with the novo coming out it will further pile under the dust. I have not yet made any modifications to it, although I would very much like to.

kernel must not work because it's for NOVO7B. in general, kernel can't be shared among different products.
key assign, and partition layout may be different too. but currently I have no idea how to fix them because I don't have any detail about your tablet...
http://en.ingenic.cn/product.aspx
it seems JZ4760 is NOT MIPS32R2. then I need to recompile userland binaries.
anyway, technical detail is required to support other tablets.
http://bbs.imp3.net/thread-10520163-1-2.html
it seems source code for xboot, android 2.2 and (part of?)kernel source for NOVO7B is released. I don't try to compile them yet so I may be wrong.
I'll check them later.
Is it possible that someday this recovery will be also ported for ainol novo7 Advanced ?

How did you get back to your stock recovery image on the T301? I think I borked mines on a T105 accidentally with ROM Manager. I accidentally pressed the screen too many times while 'exploring' and the delayed input caused ROM Manager to start flashing a recovery. Now I can't boot into recovery. I just see black nothing.
EDIT:
Disregard - My stock recovery boots. I was performing the boot into recovery procedure incorrectly. Also, because the recovery.cpio.img was in /system I assume it was flashed on each power cycle.
Apologize: I have read the complete topic and now understand that at present it is only for Novo.
Please dont use this thread to talk for another devices that arent be Novo7 Basic.

Preface: TOOLS and THREADS TO BE USED
1. MTK Droid Root and Tools by xda senior member rua1. Press thanks in his thread! Compatible with Windows and Linux(with wine).
2. SP Flash Tool Credits to Khonshu of china.phonearena. I downloaded v3.1344. Here's an xda thread on what you can do with it: Click Me! Troubleshooting SP flash tools: .Click here!
3. Pdanet for Windows drivers
Chapter 1.0.0: HOW TO ENABLE PHONE MODES
Steps:
1.1.0 For MTP mode
1.2.0 For ADB mode
1. Go to Settings>About Phone
2. Click Build number about 6 times, quickly. Developer Options should now appear.
3. Go back to settings then click Developer Options. Here you find so many things you thought didnt exist
4. For now, we only check USB debugging. When a pop-up appears, just click "ok". Done!
1.3.0How to enter recovery mode: (Credits to phcorner.com O+8.52 thread)
Method 1:
1. Remove battery and reinsert.
2. Press Volume Up and power key simultaneously.
3. A blank screen with an android lying down and a red exclamation triangle should appear now.
4. Press Power button once, and the menu will appear.
5. To navigate, Power: Show/Hide options. Vol UP: Confirm. Vol Down: Scroll.
6. When done, reboot system to exit.
Method 2: When you're on a PC,
1. Connect Phone in USB debugging mode.
2. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder) and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
1.4.0 For Phone test mode
1. Press Volume Down and Power simultaneously.
2. Choose among the options.
3. When done, remove battery to exit.
(It seems like reinserting the battery and doing VolDown+Home combo does not do anything else)
1.5.0 For fastboot (aka bootloader) mode
Requirements: Since you want to use fastboot, then you must be on an adb configured computer
1. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder)
2.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Wait for the phone. Done!
Chapter 2.0.0: ROOTING
Why root?
There are many methods to rooting. I will list what I know might work. I'm 99.9% sure the first one works (given you are not stuck in a bootloop.)
2.1.0 Shuame ROOT GeniusDownloadInfo: This is a one-click PC application. I have used this in Windows 7 32-bit and in lubuntu 13.10 and it works. If your phone is not an MT6572 I'd still recommend that you try this as it can root almost anything! It installs Kinguser as the superuser app.
2.1.1 Requirements for Windows PC: A Windows PC, a USB cable, your phone, and a fully downloaded shuame root genius. No drivers needed as shuame root genius already installs them for you.
2.1.2 Requirements For Linux PC users: A linux PC, a USB cable, your phone, a fully downloaded shuame root genius, WINE, and adb (I might be wrong here, but get this: Since drivers are not really used, we need our phone to be given adb permissions by linux, or else shuame will not be able to recognize your phone. So you will probably need to have adb installed first, just to be sure.)
For info on how to do that, check here: Click Me!
Also, shuame root genius does not display well under wine in my case, but the buttons were clickable anyway so it still works. From here, it's pretty much the same procedures.
2.1.3 Steps:
I made a visual guide here:
And in text, here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open Shuame Root Genius. It will connect to your phone automatically and install drivers for about 3-5 minutes. (No more driver installation on linux PCs)
6. Click "Root it". You should now see your device as rooted. And if you click back, you can unroot. Done!
2.2.0ErootDownload/help threadInfo: Another tool by Chinese developers. I tried it on my lubuntu 13.10 WINE and it worked flawlessly! I'm pretty sure it'll work on a Windows PC as well. It installs superuser by clockworkmod.
2.2.1 Requirements: See 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
2.2.2 Steps:
Visual guide
Textual guide here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open eroot. It will connect to your phone automatically.
6. Click the root button. It's the only button anyway. When you have rooted successfully, you can click the 解除 button to unroot if you wish. Done!
2.3.0 MTK Droid root and tools
Connect Phone in ADB and MTP mode.Download/Help thread can be found in PrefaceRun MTK Droid Tools. Wait for it to recognize and establish a connection with your phone. This should appear after a minute:
Take note that a blue rectangle on the lower left means you're still not rooted. Press ROOT.
Wait for about three to five minutes. In my case, MTK Droid tools crashed So I didn't see a superuser app.
But I downloaded root checker and sure enough, my phone was rooted. Only the superuser app was missing.
I also opened MTK Droid tools again and saw a green rectangle (which means I am rooted :victory: )
So now, technically, you are rooted. But we still need a superuser app, so I downloaded a superuser app that I liked and updated the binary. I downloaded SuperSU by chainfire from the play store. Done!
or, you could try the superuser button in the root, backup, recovery tab. I didn't try it though
2.4.0 Other stuff you might wanna try or know about if none of these methods worked for you, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523814
Chapter 3.0.0: RECOVERY STUFF
3.2.0 How to backup stock recovery
3.3.0 What is clockworkmod recovery?
3.4.0 What is carliv touch recovery?
UPDATE: I think O+ 8.31z was primarily sold for the Philippine Market; as such, I may be in competition with more Philippine based forums such as symbianize and gsmworldfive. Therefore, I think it would be best that I leave the two 8.31z links here and discontinue any plans on improving this thread. Here they are:
http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=1094034&page=10
^this link contains a SPFT flashable pre-rooted clean stock rom.
http://www.gsmworldfive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37787
^this link uses the SPFT method too, but the rom here has much more root apps installed already, like swapper, greenify, auto ram cleaner etc. (Oh, stock keyboard was also taken out).
Both confirmed working to bring back a bootlooped 8.31z. I prefer the first one though
Until next time! My dad plans to sell this phone soon so I guess I won't be learning how to make custom roms anytime soon yet... Hope you guys are doing well

UPDATE: Since my dad hasn't sold it yet, I'm playing with it again. There is a Filipino facebook group that is dedicated for 8.31z users. I think they have custom roms ported there.

Chapter 4.0.0: ADD INIT.D SUPPORT TO STOCK ROM
Check here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
I haven't personally tried any one yet. You are always proceeding at your own risk
Tweak for speed, battery life, and other cool/useful stuff.
Chapter 5.0.0: Speed
There are tons of stuff to speed up your phone, and they're not just limited to one specific phone. So bring in the list.
1. Use Greenify (find it in the play store)
Requirements: Root (optional for auto-hibernation. Highly Recommended.), Android 4.0+
You may greenify stuff like Guardian if you are not using it, or maybe the FB app too. Saves some battery and gives a little free ram for better multitasking.
2. Disable fancy window animations and transitions
Go to settings>developer options and disable the three animation options to animation off.
3. Use a cpu controller like No Frills CPU control (find it in the play store)
Controls how fast or slow you want your CPU to go. Default Governor is hotplug.
For a faster phone, set the governor to performance. It sets the CPU to scale to the max that you set. Use when you are playing heavy games.
For a battery saving phone, set the governor to powersave. It sets the CPU to scale to the min that you set. Use when you only plan to use really light apps.
For a balance between performance and battery save, it's probably best to go back to hotplug since it can turn the second core on or off depending on your usage.
4. Tweaks and Scripts
Info: Tweaks refers to build.prop tweaks. Scripts refer to init.d scripts. So this is a two-part thing. Adding build.prop tweaks, and running init.d scripts. Some do this two-part thing simultaneously in one flasher. Others, separate the tweak part from the script part. The reason they do this is because phones running from stock usually do not support init.d scripts, but only build.prop tweaks.
Our 8.31z cannot support init.d (yet) so for now we will only do the tweak part.
1. Tweak part of [ SCRIPT | TWEAK ] ◢ Project Fluid™ ◣ by Spex. [size="+1"]Recommended.[/size]
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Project Fluid has a separable tweak part. I didn't apply all as some are optional. So I just applied it and what happened?
Using Antutu X Benchmark
Before Project Fluid Tweak: 7334
After Project Fluid Tweak: [size="+1"]9264!!![/size]I only selected some of the tweaks (i.e. I didn't use "unlock with volume rocker and other stuff like that) Here's what I added to my build.prop. Feel free to do the same.View attachment 2785183
How to:
1. Open ES explorer (I'm using latest version)
2. Copy the tweaks that you want to add to build prop. Find the tweaks in spex's post or copy my selected tweaks. And thank spex in his thread.
3. Press the menu button on your phone. Click tools. Click on for root explorer and grant root permissions.
4. Click root explorer. Click Mount R/W. Choose R/W for /system and click ok.
5. Navigate to /system and open build.prop with ES note editor. Press the menu button on your phone and click edit.
6. Now paste the tweaks into the build.prop file. Or type them manually
7. Reboot and enjoy!
2. Tweak of Dash-M Script and tweak by myaservip
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Dash-M has a tweak part and a script part too. If you want to try Dash-M Tweak, go to his myaservip's thread and download the zip, transfer to the root of your sdcard, go to recovery mode, and flash from there.But personally, Project Fluid's tweaks are more complete. I haven't tried Dash-M script since we haven't added init.d so stay tuned.3. Script and Tweak of ★ [MOD] ◢ PurePerformances™X ◣ | Golden Edition | Scary performances on Android by Jeeko
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
This is a single inseparable script and tweak in one so we cannot use it yet. Stay tuned.[size="+1"]General reminder: Tweaks and scripts are usually not mix-able. So remove one before trying another.[/size]
Chapter 6.0.0: Cool/Useful Stuff
1. Xposed Framework and Modules.
Our device can definitely benefit from Xposed modules! 4.2 is capable of running these.
2. TouchPal Keyboard
A good replacement to stock keyboard. Contains different keyboard layouts and support for tons of languages! And if you have experienced the keyboard not pressing the right button, this might be a better replacement.
3. Moreto come.
Hi there fellow Filipino! Please continue what you're doing. I can help you in some way in installing CWM-esque recovery tool for our phone. As it is a UBIFS-type system, many have said that it's a tricky job. A lot have failed but some did it successfully like me. I followed this tutorial from here
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-CWM-For-All-MTK-Easy-Magic-CWM-MT6575-MT6515-MT6577-MT6517-MT6589-MT6582-MT6592
Sorry I can't post links yet because this is a new account.
So I was able to boot into recovery, but I stopped there until someone successfully restore our phone from a backup (even if it's just stock ROM)
Cheers! You should try it!
PS. I tried your build.prop and benchmarked afterwards, only to get about 7100+. HOW DID YOU GET TO 9K?! Please indicate if you have a lot of apps and is greenify and that cpu tool the only apps you're using for speed?
After sometime though, my phone got slow, so I deleted the added lines in build.prop and speed went back on. What's happening?
Successfully enabled init.d! I used term-init. It was so easy! Just a matter of minutes. Now, to try some scripts...
Edit: Currently backing up using Carliv Touch Recovery, the MTK compatible CWM recovery tool, before going further. Will try restoring it later. If it is a success, then Chapter 3 is done!

Hi! I've been a little busy lately haha. I'll get back to updating this thread in a week or so
Are you new to this stuff? Or have you had previous experience before? Seems like you're going pretty well! I don't know much about this phone of ours yet, maybe you know more than I do
Update: So my O+ phone wasn't sold, and now I plan to use it. Just tested Carliv 2.4 using Yuweng's Auto Magic Installer, and it installed! Restore doesn't work though. And don't advance restore > restore system. You'll get a bootloop haha.

RCA 7 Voyager RCT6773W22 tablet.
Quad Core, 8GB internal storage, Android 4.4.2, one of those Walmart pre-Black Friday specials someone picked up.
Can't say anyone would actually want to replace their Google Nexus or Samsung with one of these, but it would be nice to have this rooted.
Anyone rooted one yet?

I was wondering this myself. I was thinking about picking one up for how cheap it is, still undecided right now.
I just picked up 3 of these for my kids the other day. still waiting for them to ship. was also hoping to be able to root these.
Well I ended up buying one of them. I was searching around Google and found some people had rooted the previous model of our device by using Kingo root. I imagine from Google that this is kingoapp.com but I won't be able to test it probably for at least a week, hopefully less. A video on YouTube shows the same results as well.
i just picked on up for 30 dollars at wallmart black friday im gonna try to root it right now
Following, interested to see if a root gets put in play. Thirty bucks until I get my Note 4 in a few weeks, beats the heck out of my Fire HD!
I hope we get a root method soon I think because these will be popular for black Friday they might g get it rooted

Kingo did not work
Installed Kingo and it would not recognize the device, enabled dev mode and turned on USB debugging still did not work. Let me know if any other solution works.

same here
came here for root haha
Kingo app worked fine
Had to manually install adb driver.
Download/unzip the latest android usb drivers from google then add:
;RCA Tablet
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0414&PID_0C02&REV_0216&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0414&PID_0C02&MI_01
after the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] in android_winusb.inf file
Open device manager and point it to that folder and it will give you some snag about unsigned something or other, just say go ahead. Kingoapp recognized it and rooted it in about 2 minutes after a reboot.
ill see what i can do with that
EDIT: IT WORKS!! Thanks dude
Update to Kingo Root
Kingo with their developer mode ADB drivers did Root.
---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------
If I get a few min I will write a install guide but bottom line
Download Kingo Android Root from kingoapp.com
Install Kingo
But RCA table in Developer mode :
Go to Settings > About Tablet
Tap Build Number 7 times quickly
Click Settings > Developer Options
Enable developer options in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Plug device into USB cable and attach to computer
If you previously connected the device not in dev mode it installed drivers automatically.
It will now indicated that drivers need to be installed, allow automatic install of new drivers
Start Kingo and follow prompts.
That is it.

So all this is on the current update there's no newer update for it??
Confirmed rooted with kingo root. I used PDAnet for drivers.
Picked up one of these for my three year old. Going to give this a try this weekend. Thanks for the info guys.
i just rooted the rca 7 voyager!
1. Download pdanet app from the playstore
2. Download the pdanet file for windows and install it on your pc. plug in your device via usb to make connection.
3. allow it to update android drivers.( this is what you need for KingoRoot to recognize the rca 7 voyager) unplug your device after it connected to the pc.
4. exit the pdanet service running on your pc (in the lower right corner)
5. download KingoRoot onto your pc and run application.
6. plug your rca 7 voyager into the usb and kingoroot will connect a couple times and click finish once you obtain root.
7. go to the play store and update supersu! buy the pro version!
8. you are now rooted!
I was having trouble rooting with Kingo so I used this.
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
It installed a bunch of chinese apps but I removed them and then installed SuperSU from the Play Store.
Also, any idea if we can install recovery yet? Any kernels for overclocking? Am I being too hopeful? Haha. Great little tablet regardless.
After rooting I started using Xposed framework with Gravity Box and is working great to make it more pleasing.

recovery.fstab may or may not need to be edited for some devices especially if the device doesn't use by label partitioning. What device do you have?

asus aa3-600
I have an asus aa3-600-ur10
android 4.2.2
Intel Celeron J1850 Quad-core 2 GHz
21.5" Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9
Intel HD Graphics with Shared Memory
2 GB, DDR3 SDRAM
500 GB HDD
The problem I'm having is no usb debugging, only debugging via lan. I can get adb to work but not working with fastboot in the bootloader(droidboot). I have a post about it in this section, search for "aa3-600"
b.g.
Hi, SDC
I know this has been ask before, I searched and couldn't find the answer though, I would like to get the source code for the launchers , I use the Linux version of this method, cause I don't have windows, and would like to convert the recovery.launcher triggers and so forth into a shell script rather that use binary file.
If you have a shell script already can you post it if not, can you post or give me a link to your binary files source code?

I'm going to post the source after I finish getting the thread put together I just wanted to get it up yesterday.
As for doing it through shell scripts the reason its binary is because if /system is mounted or any prebuilt binary has a dependency on a shared library it makes it extremely difficult some times impossible to stop services and unmount /system and such.
But I hope to have everything finish by the end of the day.

You use Linux or windows? If Linux, you may need to use my fastboot binary, anyway if using Linux while in fastboot mode use terminal type lsusb.
Do you see your device listed?

Root!
Thank you for this!
I successfully rooted my V8 3830 KK4.4 V1.33 no modem with T3 - in about 4 mins. tops.
FYI:
I connected and launched the launcher from the IntellAndroid-FBRL folder. Typed ACCEPT and got the green screen. Chose T3. The tablet rebooted into fastboot and files where loaded, But then fastboot turned red and said "device unauthorized" when CWM popped onto my tablet. (maybe it's suppose to do that, DK) and yes, US debugging was on, I flashed the SU zip, rebooted, all is well. SU updated and working fine. I was able to remove all the crapwear. :laugh:
thank you SDC!
Quick question - Do any of the intel devices have unlocked bootloader?? Thought I read somewhere somebody was able to install a factory 4.3 or 4.2 on a Dell venue and the bootloader unlocked?
