[Q] How can I get the Android Marketplace on my Alldro device ?

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!

thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing

thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?

could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?

nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?

ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli

You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.

Viewsonix V350 Dual-Sim need Root

Hello,
I can`t root my V350.
Many Apps need Root.
I read that the Muchtel A2 and the Viewsonic V350 are the same...
I have tried:
z4root 1.3
superoneclick 2.2.1
Can everybody help me?
Thx
Timer

any news?interested

i've tried gingerbreak. without succes

success with SuperOneClick1.7,

Really?
SuperOneClick1.7 runs with the V350?
Where can I load them?
What Settings?

install driver that you find inside the phone after plug-in
set oneclick on rageagainstcage
is enough

Cool,
that is it!
The 1.7 SU client is not up to date.
I have delete tham an install SU over the Market.
If you update SU over the Market, you can`t update the SU Binary.
Now runs Titanium & Co.....
Thats beautiful.

yes it easier updating superuser by titanium dedicated key

I can confirm that SuperOneClick 1.7 works on the CSL MI350 which is exactly the same as the ViewSonic V350.
Thank you all for the information.
Next step is to remove all the "unwanted" applications.

How to unroot? If need to send phone to service?
btw. have your fm-radio awful? My v350 fm-radio is not powerful. Even outside there is problem to hear radio clearly.
Another problem is that after my battery is dead and phone shuts down it doesn't mount my sd-card anymore. Sd-card will not mount even I erased it, with computer it works perfectly. Another sd works fine in v350.
Need also lagfix for v350
EDIT: so there is unroot on version 1.7 but not success with root. SuperOneClick freezes after waiting device... What to do?!? Tried rageagainstcage.

install drivers that you find connecting v350, then look for that into device

Yeap, drivers are already installed and I can see into phone in my computer...?

into your phone click on setup, and now you install the proper drivers so superoneclick works.

Yes, I have already done that. Maybe I need to rerun that setup. Could there be a problem with Windows 7 64-bit?

my success with win 7 64x

After resetup (with adm-mode) it works Finally I got Titanium backup and I removed viewsonic 3D and other useless apps thanks

Resetup with adm-mod?
What is it?

I install it that I was loged in as administor

How much RAM and ROM you have? It think that there would be 512MB ram and 512MB rom.
Still I got error message that internal memory is full even I have not lots of apps installed.
Android system info (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.electricsheep.asi&feature=search_result) says that max 423MB ram is avaible and only max 157MB rom. So is there something wrong? Only about 20MB rom is avaible in normal use...
What are your max. and free in rom and ram?

I would like to find something other than SuperOneClick. SOC was written using a micro$oft-only language, and after struggling with C# hacks (mono + various libraries) it would not even launch on linux.
BTW, UniversalAndroot does not work for the v350, according to the v350 wiki page (which I'm blocked from posting the URL to).
Any other options?

Android Maxell Maxtab C8 MID Tablet Google Play Fix

So here's how I did it:
Basically, with an Cortex A8 processor, the Maxell C8 tablet seems to be a slightly upgraded Allwinner A10, which is a bit cheaper than the Maxell tablet but then again Maxell really did package theirs nicely in terms of casing. But it's no secret - when you plug in the Maxell C8 with Windows 7 it shows clearly that it's a MID tablet. So essentially, my theory is that this method should work on all similar tablets such as Allwinner A13,A10 etc (although many of those come with preinstalled google play, as China, like me, doesn't give a **** about copyright). For reference, my tablet is running Android 4.0.4
Step 1. Root your tablet.
This took me a few times to figure out but this program called "Android Root Unlock" finally did it for me. You can get it from Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/
Enable USB debugging (settings > developer options > Usb debugging). Then just connect your tablet to your PC via USB, wait until Windows recognizes the device. It should read "MID" in the device manager screen. The unpack the zip file you downloaded above on your Windows machine and run "ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat" it while the tablet is still plugged into USB. A black terminal window will open, just follow the instructions from there. Your tablet will restart - that means it probably worked, don't close the program yet but follow what it says to the end until the terminal window closes. Now you can unplug your device.
Step 2. Install modded Google Play
Now you can go ahead and follow the instructions on xda-developers.com:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116
That's it! Google play now works like a charm and I can download stuff directly from Google Play without problems
Here's my full blog post: http://truthtech0.blogspot.com/2013/03/android-maxell-maxtab-c8-tablet-market.html

Thanks for your efforts, I'll give it a try. I was going to try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, but as you've confirmed it works, I'll use Android Root Unlock.
I think it's running Jelly Bean, it's my dads tablet. I'll see him tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips.
Anyone managed to install either a recovery image or a custom rom on the maxtab?
I've rooted mine but cannot get fastboot to work and unable to load a recovery image. Adb is working OK. Tried clockworkmod but device is unsupported.

gadget19, what happened to yours, why do you need to recover or use custom rom?

I tried the google play fix but its not working for me. I wanted to use a custom rom so that I get google play to work correctly and also to try out 4,2 features.

Hi, thank you for your guide.
Unfortunately i'm unable to complete it because when i connect the maxtab c8 to a windows 7 system it doesn't find the MID driver so the root bat doesn't find the device.
Do you have any hint in how to complete the procedure?
Thank you.

I used the samsung drivers and google naked universal drivers. Adb commands work with them but could never get fastboot cmds to work.

Thanks for the hint; I was able to execute the bat file but i still have some problems.
The procedure looks like complete but if I open Root Explorer and try to do some changes in \system\app it just tell me that it's in read only mode.
Tried root check pro and it's all red...
superuser installed
sbin/su: permission denied
system/bin/su: no file
system/xbin/su: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present. Root access is correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can grant root access!
system/xbin/sudo : no exsist
su binary not found or not operating correctly
Tried to run the su file in system/xbin/su as a script on the tablet and via adb without any changes. Checked a bit online but i'm a bit stucked since my other android device (lg p500) was much easier to root.
If you have any idea i't will be very helpful. Thank you.

Ok solved.
To easy root the maxtab c8 (android 4.1) i used the RK29 tab tolkit v1.3: easy and fast.
Now i have problem installing the play store...
I followed the guide but since i don't have any Vending.apk or phonesky.apk in system/app i just copied it without a backup, rebooted but nothing happened.
Need more testing.

Ok play store installed and working.
I didn't use the apk linked in the first post, i had to use this one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934441
The method is the same (copy in system/app, set the permission as rw-r--r-- and then reboot) just use the apk i linked.
Hope this help someone.:victory:

Hi all, what's the best drivers to use for the Maxtab C8
Windows 8. Device manager showing unrecognized MID device

profixit

I used PDAnet software for driver instal on XP. Have no idea if it will work for 7 or 8.
Google it, i cant post URL

Finally got everything working.
Used my old Intel x86 XP Pro to root it
Then Google play installer.
Maxtab welcome to the real world.

[Q] HP 8 G2 (HP 8 1411) Root

Hey all. I've been unsuccessful(UPDATE: now successful) in getting my new tablet rooted.
Its an HP 8 G2 (1411) tablet. Ive tried SRSroot, towelroot, cydia impactor and root genius....all have failed misersably.
The 1401 at least gets rooted but has that restart problem....this one doesnt even get that far.
Anyone have suggestions on how to crack this baby? Its on kitkat 4.4.2

So I was able to get this rooted with NO REBOOT ISSUE!!!!
I downloaded PDAnet+ from play store and for the PC. It loaded a daemon on my tablet but was unable to root (took forever). Once done I downloaded KINGO Root and it successfully rooted my tablet in minutes. Root Checker verified SuperSU permissions granted all good to go. Hope this helps others.
YOU MUST INSTALL PDANET AND TRY ROOT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. IT SEEMS PDANET PREPS THE TABLET FOR KINGO TO SUCCESSFULLY ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks this worked great
Thanks for the great information and advice. Worked for me. I installed the PDAnet+ on the HP Tablet and then I installed Kingo Root on my computer, set the tablet to developer mode, etc and it rooted within 5 - 10 minutes.
Now the tablet can at least do many basic requirements such as using a proper file explorer, being able to move files to the SD card directly from the tablet and lots more.
I am going to test installing Apps to the SD card.
Questions:
1) Do you know any custom roms we can add on here, such as CyanogenMod
2) Let me know any cool root tweaks or apps you recommend.
Thanks and keep up the great work

step by step
can you please post the step by step and proper doing this? im afraid to bootloop my device since its my 2nd tablet... i really love this tab... i hope you will help me.

Easy!!!!
I have an hp 8 g2 1141 and I rooted it with the latest version of kingoroot without any issues .......... try it!

[Q] how to root Hipstreet Phoenix (android 4.4.2)

Hi, I need help on rooting my Hip street Phoenix tablet. I'm very new to android so I need lots of help.. Thanks.

Hello?

Anyone

Kingo root worked for me

Kingo root got stuck on Waiting for device...

I couldn't get it to work until I deleted android USB devices and then installed the android SDK, drivers were recognized before the SDK but kingo root wouldn't run until I did the SDK thing

I also have the same model(Hipstreet Phoenix), and I success on rooting it. for kingo root maybe check if you had enable USB debugging,
if it still does not work, then try install king root(is not the google play store,
download link:res.kingroot.net/msoft/webapp_kingroot/image/KingRootTrunk_105001.apk
1. download it than install the apk
2. open it(the only issue is the main screen and intro is in chinese, english video link:youtube.com/watch?v=Kzv75LQ1SlQ
let it install the root component(if is not rooted yet), on the upside the rest of interface is in english(including the request for root permission window)
and sorry about the links being in plain text.
hopefully this help.

KingGo
KingGo worked for me with no problems, Make sure that USB Debugging is enabled and Unkwown Sources is enabled. My Tablet is the 16GB version and has KitKat- still no problem with KingGo. Now I need A good Custom Lollipop ROM- anyone have one?

Mobogenie
I was advised to use Mobogenie by another member of this forum it was very easy and worked quickly. One button push to root.
