REVISED TUTORIAL IN ROOTING 2.3.6 SAMSUNG REPLENISH
warning for experienced adb users!: this was made with noobs in mind. you may learn something (from me! a noob! XD) but anyways, enjoy!
this does not affect anything on the phone except for adding the ability to access root permissions. CWM is not permanent, it disappears after you use it, and nothing on the phone is affected, as far as i know, but i had just factory reset the phone, so use at your own risk...
you may need to know:
root of a drive- drives are designated C:\ or D:\ or whatever letter in windows. Just go to "computer" and double click the first item. That location is the "root" of a drive.
Note: make sure you have at least 400 mb of memory (i know, thats alot, but just in case) on your sd card so you can back up your entire phone! i reccomend doing every optional step!!! It'll save you hassle if you have problems. If you can't make room for some reason, and you still wanna try, you should skip step 8. I don't suggest it though.
1. download "odin.zip" and "su" here: https://www.box.com/shared/620b03e95cc0814fefc8 and unzip to your desktop. if you dont have the android sdk, simply copy the "adb.exe" file from "odin.zip" to the root of your primary drive for later. Just go to "computer" and double click the top icon/item. It should say something about C:/. If you're on Mac, sorry. Idk much about it. As for Linux, I have no clue how you'd even try to do this. I love Linux but, sadly, can't experiment with this in it. WINE has its limits....... And I don't think adb or Odin would work.
2. download the "su" file and put into into "platform-tools" where you installed the android sdk, if you have it, or put onto the root of your primary drive if you havent.
3. start phone while holding "spacebar" and "p". "downloading..." should appear on the screen in yellow text
4. plug into the computer and run "Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42.exe"
5. select SPHM580.ops for "OPS" and Replenish-CWM5.tar for "One Package" (they should be the only options) DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!
6. hit "Start" and DO NOT REMOVE PHONE FROM USB.
7. as the phone reboots, hold "u" until CWM opens and set the phone down. you should close Odin now.
8. use the volume keys to navigate to the backup and restore option and use enter to select backup. wait for it to finish completely and take you back to the the CWM main UI. backing up here creates a pure recovery, untouched by anything. CWM is NOT installed into this recovery. continue with the guide.
9. open the command prompt (type cmd.exe in search or run in the start menu, depending on your version of windows) or use some form of terminal emulator on your operating system of choice. command prompt is preferred due to the fact i know it can get the job done, but do what you will.
10. navigate to the drive your sdk is on and into "platform-tools" or to the folder you put the adb.exe and su files on. the default should be [name of drive]:\Users\[username]\. use the "cd.." command til youre at the root of the drive, and if you installed the sdk, type "cd android-sdk-windows/platform-tools" or just go to the root of the drive and go to the next step if you havent. just be sure adb.exe and su are there.
11. type this in line for line, with enters in between. the blue "~#" in the later lines is the prompt you should have. do not type this. it will be in blue. (clockworkmod should still be open on your phone at this point)
adb shell
~#mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl12 /system
~#exit
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell
~#chmod 777 /system/bin/su
~#reboot
DO NOT CLOSE THE COMMAND PROMPT YET FOR THE SAKE OF CONVENIENCE
If you have problems with that, try using CWM to mount "/system". Some friendly people over at androidcentral pointed that out. I personally didn't have that problem, but I'm glad it's fixed.
12. when your phone has rebooted, go back to the open command prompt, which should be where it was before you typed "adb shell"
13. type "adb shell". you will see a prompt of "$." type "su." if you have a prompt of "#" rejoice! you have permanent root! now you can go on the Play Store and find "Superuser" and "Busybox" (they should be free. if you cant find it, get ahold of me and ill try to supply the newest updates) if not, and you have a backup from optional step 2, you should go through til you hit CWM and restore the backup. if not, make one now and reattempt everything aside from downloads and the moving the files around on your computer. Also, someone said something about "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su", so if you might try using that instead of "chmod 777 /system/bin/su". 777 worked for me, but maybe this works better for you.
OPTIONAL FINISH STEP: I dont know how you install CWM permanently, but you should do this so you can make backups of your rom and store them somewhere like on a box.com or mediafire.com account if you decide to mess with something on your phone. (use hjsplit to break it into pieces for uploading and reassemble after download for flashing if its too big). to use a recovery, enter CWM (either the way i have here or if you have permanently installed, just reboot and hold "u") and navigate to "backup and restore," "restore," and select the recovery you wish to use on your sd card (make sure when you take out a backup for storage, you zip up the entire folder with the name that contains the date and time of your backup.) it will overwrite everything on your phone to be exactly like it was when you backed it up.
good luck! have fun!
Note: if you rename the CWM backup file, make sure it DOESN'T HAVE A SPACE or it'll give you something about md5 or something not matching. If it says this, remove any spaces in the name and try again. I had it happen on my xperia play and freaked, thinking it was soft-bricked permanently one time, til I found out about cwm's glitch with that.
Also, I uploaded pretty much everything needed for rooting the phone, with comments pertaining to each file. This includes current (as of July 31, 2012) copies of Superuser.apk, a busybox installer, and the busybox and su binaries, as well the Odin package containing the tools to temp flash CWM.
the odin.zip file and the process of achieving CWM temp-flashing was found at http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...method-samsung-replenish-android-2-3-6-a.html and credit for that part is given to joshua.worth, although I took it a different path than he did.
Update to above info: to simplify things, I uploaded all relevant files to box so people can get them easier. The su file went missing from xda, most importantly, so I fixed that, and added an updated binary in case someone has trouble with the other one.
contact me at [email protected] if you cant pm me.
Sorry if it takes a while to respond. Life's been kinda crazy for me lately, and I am using my new phone (no service) to do this over wifi.
ahh... well, turns out unrooting cannot be done with a CWM backup... you probably have to find a nandroid or a clean version of kernel with rom. the su file dissapears, although root is still there. ill keep playing with it, i have an idea why root stays although su disappears from the system files. anyways, i will still supply a backup thats pre-rooted for anyone who is willing to have a fresh start on their replenish. it will have superuser.apk preinstalled along with busybox, and everything else will be wiped. this will be a sprint backup, so if anyone has the boost version and is willing to back up with CWM and factory reset, then follow my guide, install busybox and superuser.apk, then back it up again, id be eternally grateful to have a copy
by the way, if anyone has problems with restoring a backup due to "md5" tags or whatever it is, make sure the name of the backup has no spaces. i was freaking out til i found that tip on an obscure forum (well, to me. i dont have a Motorola. lol. just a Sony Ericsson and 2 Samsungs)
update: sorry i havent uploaded the backup. i realized it would give whoever used it the number on this phone and i have to fix that. havent had time to anyways, plus it would only work on a sprint phone. it would convert any boost mobile to sprint, so thats a no-go. sorry...
does this work for the boost mobile replenish that is 2.3.6 if so how long does it take to odin
It should work. And Odin just flashes cwm (really fast) for the duration of the next boot cycle, which it automatically initiates, so hold the recovery button (I think it's u) as it goes into it and you'll have temp root. Make sure it's in download mode before you start. Remember, it cannot be unrooted, so if you value your warranty, plz think twice before doing it. I'm just here to supply the how-to if you decide to, not to say you have to. If you do, enjoy root access!

Thanks. I did not know if there is a fail safe if something went wrong. so I was second guessing. Very simple to do thank you assuming with odin I made a back up. if I where to mess my system up I can use odin and restore my backup and I be back up and running again no need to sbf
i keep getting : ~ # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid argument

hmm... i am familiar with the error (ive gotten it with 3 different phones in my attempt to root it, but i have succeeded each time regardless) but are you sure you actually have clockworkmod OPEN on your phone when the error shows up? i cant actually do anything from my end, because i no longer have a computer i can use to test anything, or the replenish i rooted with the method... but i opened the cwm several times before thinking to test the adb and seeing the "~#". i actually restarted the phone and did it again before actually rooting it, seeing if i had rooted it or what, and tho i got the same prompt every time it was booted in cwm, it wouldnt show up if i allowed the phone to boot normally after using odin, i HAD to ACTUALLY boot into the cwm menu, which is completely seperate from the OS itself, although it has access to the system files.
by the way, copy and paste this directly into the command prompt when you get to the step to avoid human error. mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
or, if it wont work, try this mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sorry bout the babbling XD. anyways, cwm should be circumnavigating the root permissions. hmm.... if you still have problems after that, try skipping to the adb push for the "su" file.
sorry i havent been on top of the thread. ill set up an email notification.
and by the way, something i found very useful on my xperia play when it went into infinite reboot, you can always just restore the system files in the advanced restore option, allowing you to keep all of your app data if, later down the line, your phone needs to be restored. hope this helps. it helped me XD thought id lose all of my messages, but nope. i decided to explore the advanced restore and yay! i got to keep them XD
UPDATE
I don't know if it matters to you anymore, but apparently, some people have trouble with this and fix it by going to the mount menu in CWM and mounting /system
Couple of corrections:
chmod 777 /system/bin/su
should be chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
and then following that command should be
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
and I saw someone say this is unrootable. Thats not correct. Simply running the unroot script would unroot. Doomlord made a nice one.
To use it do the following:
Code:
adb push unroot /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/unroot
adb shell su -c "/data/local/unroot"
adb reboot
[code]
The above will unroot almost any android device.

Unfortunately, Doomlord's method didn't work on it. I tried all manner of one clicks and manual versions and only this got even temporary root. It's a workaround based on forcing the phone to boot into a custom recovery. (I call it custom bc its not an "official" recovery.) And I chose the chmod by looking through many manual ways to root, and that one was popular, and it works. I had full root access afterwards. I tried to unroot afterwards, however, so I could take screenshots and stuff, but the su file would reappear, even after manual deletion or restoring to an unrooted backup. Anyways, point is, this is the only method I could get to work at all, and it does work.
But the "chmod" night help other people, so ill make note of it in the post just in case. Thanks for the info.

Important fix----
If step 11 doesn't work, go to the "mount" menu in cwm and mount /system. Some people on androidcentral were kind enough to mention that this fixed their problem with mounting /system as rewritable

How? Throughout my own rooting of one of the phones, I had this working perfectly. Every time I hit a snag, I found a way around it and documented it. A few other people had errors show up because the phone itself hadn't mounted the system, but the problem was resolved, and only a couple people had any other problems, and they were unrelated to that. I assure you, every command works properly, as far as I know.
exactly my point. your command to mount system is wrong.
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
lets break it down shall we?
mount - this is teh command
-o remount,rw - this is where you tell it what option you want, in this case remounting as rw.
-t yaffs2 - here you are telling mount that it should expect a yaffs2 formatted device, which is not what the samsung replenish is. the replenish uses RFS (robust file system), the best way i can describe it is like telling your windows computer that your hard drive is fat32 when its actually ntfs.
/dev/block/mtdblock3 - this is where you tell mount what you are looking to mount, the issue here is that the replenish doesnt use MTD blocks, it uses STL's and BML's.
/system here is where you are trying to mount the said device to..
out of 5 parts you did get 3 correct tho. you might wish to modify your guide to reflect the actual mount command, for your device it is the following:
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl12 /system
and that will kick out system as r/w

Hmmmm.... Odd..... *shrugs* I had no problem with the command, but I guess other ppl had pickier computers or phones. Hell, Vista's buginess might have worked in my favor that time XD. Thanks for the pointer. I didn't really understand the exact way the replenish was built. I just found a lil guide for making it boot into cwm and found it allowed for me to use that as an exploit to root the device. In fact, I've done the same kind of stuff to root the samsung Intercept, except I made their own software flash a pre-rooted kernel. anyways, I'll update the guide on xda and androidcentral. Thanks!

chances are you had system mounted in cwm without knowing it.
for future knowledge always check the devices fstab for where to mount and filesystem type
https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/android_device_replenish/blob/master/recovery/recovery.fstab
as you can see the proper mounts from the files i used to make CWM for the replenish

Eh, maybe. For all I know the first thing I did was mount everything with cwm. I DID do this several months ago. I don't even have the phone anymore. The owner of the phone was gonna give it to me after upgrading, but she sold it, so I kept her 500gb laptop hard drive instead. Popped it out of the external hdd casing and stuck it in a laptop. XD. It now has Linux on it.
Anyways, I've updated the guide to have the right command and note that if it doesn't work to use cwm to mount /system. And how do you find the fstab? Just Google it? Or is it somewhere on the device?
Btw, do you know anything about cwm? It refuses to properly back up my xperia play anymore. The .android_secure folder keeps giving it errors.

its where the recovery is on the device. each device has their own fstab. as for your error sounds like a conflict, either with cwm itself or that folder

It HAS to he cwm, because the folder is regarded as super hidden by the device. The folder itself can be seen, but the contents can ONLY be edited by the rom or a pc, and I haven't touched it with a pc before. It's where your apps go when you move them to the sd card. I've been trying to back my phone up with cwm because I wanted to test the jelly bean alpha release for it. its the xperia play 4g. Stupid backup crashes every time I try and it ends up eating up what room is left in my sdcard.
i followed your guide and have root in shell. however i cant get root permission on any apps, the window doesnt pop up asking me for permission. i also get a toast notification saying superuser access denied for whatever app im trying to open. any ideas?

!!!!!CAUTION: This recovery works only flawlessly on Breeze tabs with the serialnumbers containing a C! E.g. 93016Z3Cxxxxxxx!!!!!
Hi,
Finally I made it to get CWM Recovery up and running for Trekstor Surftab Breeze.
Before starting a huge thanks to my tester X-On, who tested every crappy CWM Image I made until we got a good one! Also thanks to my other tester Snackez, whose tab didn't make it as I made a silly mistake, which caused the tablet to just display a black screen.
The usual stuff:
I am not responsible for any bricks or other damages made to your tablets! But chances are minimal now.
For the reference I pasted here the contents of the recovery.fstab file:
Code:
# mount point fstype device device2
/boot emmc /dev/block/nandc
/system ext4 /dev/block/nandd
/data ext4 /dev/block/nande
/misc emmc /dev/block/nandf # here the flag to boot from the recovery partition is set. 16MB wasted for this!
/recovery ext4 /dev/block/nandg
/cache ext4 /dev/block/nandh
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /dev/block/nandk
Current status:
So, after the 2nd fiasco with the 6.x.x.x CWM, I reverted back to the 5.0.X.X base, where at least the power button works. Also I found out how to break the CWM boot loop, unless you got a working adb shell:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/nandf conv=notrunc count=20 bs=1
In my new release I've soft linked the sh binary to /system/bin, so adb should work right out of the box. Also I've added a new service calling sh, which calls postrecoveryboot.sh (containing above code snippet), so that it should definitely be executed.
Now, 02-01-2013, Backup to internal and external SD is possible without problems...see the known problems section for any other bugs.
So, here it is!
http://ul.to/fx8vsnj3
or attached.
Instructions:
1. Download the rar archive and unpack it onto your internal SD card
2. Fire up either ADB shell or download any terminal emulator from the play store and type:
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/nandg of=/sdcard/recoverystock.img
# dd if=/sdcard/recoveryBreezeNew.img of=/dev/block/nandg
3. Turn of your tab.
4. Keep pressed the volume- key and press power until the screens lights up
5. Keep volume- pressed until you see the CWM menue
If for some reason you want to switch back to your stock recovery, you need to fire up adb shell again or your terminal emulator and type:
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recoverystock.img of=/dev/block/nandg
I will make a flashable CWM zip for getting the stock recovery back while being in recovery mode. Should be comfortable doing so
Known problems
1. Mounting USB Storage is not possible while getting an error message like "cannot open ums lunfile". I googled a bit it doesn't seem so easy to fix...

Hi TheSSJ,
I would be interested in testing the CWM but is there a way to backup the original system since no firmware or ROM are available right now?
Keep the good working !!
Hi,
unfortunately not...I don't know why trekstor is so slow at releasing the original firmwares...
Still wanna do it?
regards
Hell Yeah!
new?
Push! Updated now with a working release! Thanks snackez and X-On for your help in testing!
good news! : Good:
thank you
have you managed to get the source code to make us a nice custom rom?
in any case, thank you for your work!
sorry for my bad english, i'm french
Hi,
no, unfortunately I'm no good ROM cooker (also there are no sources available, don't know why ). But the CWM is the first step to begin testingfor new ROMS...
Greets
If I understand, you know save / retrieve the original rom?
So this principle, it remains to find a cook to modify / improve the rom?
On the new recovery that you do, I test tonight ...
Thank you for your work, hoping that other developers are also working on
I just installed your CWN and it works great!
I did a Backup of the ROM and then removed a Hell of a lot Stock apps and added some new. The tablet got significantly faster (It feels faster).
Thanks a lot!
New update with fixed mount points. Only the mount usb storage function doesn't want to work...
Great new !
Thank you for your job !
Original Firmware
I have done your task. Works great.
But i have done a mistak.
Now i dont have a backup from the original.
Where can i found original Trekstore Firmware for breeze 7.0 ?
I have to flash my pad.
thank you for your work. no problem for installation

Hey guys i search for cwm for the d Serie can anybody help me ?
Send from my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Updated OP with solution, many thanks to @fipsy for the final solution, here is his post for those that need help rooting this device: (UPDATE: Root for 4.2.2 at the end of the post)
fipsy said:
Last week I investigated a lot of days to solve the problem: (I'm sorry for not being able to post working links in this forum because I didn't write enough here. So you have to reconstruct my links yourself into your browser)
As omegadrive supposed you just have to exchange the su binary, give the right permissions and the Superuser App from the Playstore will immediately work.
The necessary USB drivers for the device are found here: http://yadi.sk/d/54lX5c2O386XU
They only work with Windows 7!
After starting the "adb shell" you can gain root permissions on the device by typing "su". The su distributed with the device in /system/xbin is not compatible with common superuser apks. So it has to be exchanged with the version 3.1.1 binary: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
Copy it to your /sdcard. Then continue with adb shell:
Code:
$ su
# cd /system/xbin
Mount the system partition read/write:
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
Rename the original binary for later use (if something fails):
Code:
# mv su su-orig
Copy the binary to the xbin folder:
Code:
# busybox cp /sdcard/su ./su
Change the permissions:
Code:
# chmod 6755 su
Mount the system partition read-only and exit:
Code:
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
$ exit
Now install the Superuser App from the Playstore - and have fun! Do *NOT* Update the su binary from within the Superuser App or it will be overwritten with a non-working version!
Cheers, Volker

I finally made it! :laugh: Here is a working CWM Recovery for the HANNspree HANNSpad SN1AT71 (HSG1279).
I didn't fully test it but the backup function works. Also mounting and unmounting partitions works as well as the adb shell which is very important if the device is bricked and doesn't boot anymore.
Before connecting to the device via adb shell it is necessary to mount the /system partition (menu "mounts and storage") because otherwise /system/bin/sh cannot be found by adb shell.
The CWM recovery by default stores it's backups on the external SD-Card. The benefit is that the backup can easily be plugged out and stored apart from the device. But the recovery is also able to restore backups from the internal sdcard. Those backups can be made online on a running android system by using apps like "Online Nandroid Backup" and "Nandroid Manager". The benefit is that it's not necessary to reboot the device before backing up and you can keep on working.
There is one problem when creating backups in CWM Recovery: The date/time of the backup is always set to 1st of January 1970 due to a missing backup battery in this device. Look here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=341. So if you want to make backups with accurate timestamps you would have to set the actual time of the device using adb shell: Start adb shell and enter:
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox date -s "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"
before making the backup.
To cut a long story short: Download the CWM-Recovery here: http://yadi.sk/d/ArprqzfFFWvy4 and flash it to your (rooted) device. How to do this:
Copy the file cwm-recovery.ima to your internal sdcard.
Either connect via adb shell and enter su
or run a Terminal Emulator and enter su
then enter
Code:
cat /sdcard/cwm-recovery.ima > /dev/block/acta
and you're done! Have fun! Comments are appreciated!
Perhaps someone likes to create an update.zip from it?
Edit (01/28/2014): There is a new version 6.0.3.3. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49835135&postcount=283

ROOT for new OTA 4.2.2 update:
fipsy said:
Good news for germany: The rollout began tonight! I just got the update to Android 4.2.2! :laugh:
Some people asked for the upgrade file to manually update from the recovery. Here it is: http://yadi.sk/d/igsBGsAjFpLsL
Edit (01/13/2014): Seems this update only works on devices with special G-Sensor hardware (KIONIX 3-axis Accelerometer).
@ig6677: There you will also find the META-INF you wanted.
For your information: After my update to Android 4.2.2 root has gone on my device! I expected this. All Apps that need root don't work anymore. I don't know what you did that root was still there after the update...
Furthermore in /system/xbin there is no su file anymore. Also my CWM Recovery has gone and was replaced by the Stock HANNspree recovery!
But whats new: If you connect to the device via adb shell you immediately have superuser rights! No su is needed for this anymore. So it's possible to restore the CWM Recovery using cat.
If you adb push the 3.1.1 su binary from your pc to the /sdcard on your device and after this execute my commands in the first posting of this thread the apps have su rights with superuser.apk again. But you will not be able to add new programs to the superuser app (if a new app requests superuser rights there is no popup). So this is no solution.
The Superuser App is not able to grant superuser rights on android systems > 4.1.1, but the App SuperSu is! So download the SuperSU ZIP from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
Then copy it to your sdcard and install it using the Recovery. Voila! Everything works again!
Another issue: The Huawei E1750 Surfstick is not detected anymore. On 4.1.1 it was no problem to surf using this stick. But I think this is one of the "great features" of the new android versions...

New recovery version!
fipsy said:
:victory: Here it is: The new version 6.0.3.3 of CWM Recovery for the HANNspree HANNSpad SN1AT71 (HSG1279)
Beside some minor bugfixes the main benefit of this release is that there are no more errors when trying to restore the .android_secure folder. So the "dirty" workaround to restore this folder is not necessary anymore.
The .android_secure folder is also automatically restored together with the data partition when selecting "data" from the "advanced restore" options.

My original question:
Just bought this tablet on Cybermonday for a really good price, but can't find a way to root it for the life of me...
Main problem has been I can't see it using ADB (v1.0.31), always list no devices even with the latest generic Google ADB driver, which shows fine on device manager.
Tablet comes with Android 4.1.1 and no extras, is just a plain version of android with Play market and ES File Explorer pre installed and have access to android stock recovery.
Any ideas?
Also, just in case I start messing with the tablet, Any way I can backup the stock system just in case?
Thanks.
Update:
More info on the tablet...
Model name: SN1AT71
Hardware (According to CPU-Z): gs702a

Update 2:
Found that this tablet is practically the same as the Ainol Novo 10 Hero (don't know if version 1 or 2 thou)
So looking in Google found a thread that has modded ADB drivers and following the instructions managed to get ADB to find the device.
Now to keep experimenting

Update 3:
After trying over 20 generic rooting methods I come back defeated, 6 hours of testing and nothing. :crying:
I also have picked up 2 of these devices (1 for me and 1 for my wife). I have tried every method I can find to root this, inclicking mutliple one click solutions, apps that are suposted to root, etc. and none of them seem to work, I think the reason why is because the device is being reconized as allready being rooted, SuperOneClick, Framaroot, and Kingo all stated that it was allready rooted ..but apps will not install as if the device was truly rooted. Also geting "access denied" when trying to access the root folder..
Applications that require root will install because they think it has root, they also will prompt stating to give root access/permissions, but when accepting, they simply lock up because they can't access the root correctly.
anyways, I'm done trying for now.. if anyone has any other ideas, please speak up and let us know. thanks!
also have one of these

I picked up one of these also, I tried a few of the rooting methods you guys listed before finding this post. also no sucess, Would love to get this working bit better,because stock rom is a bit sluggish when it shouldn't be given the specs.
OK, kept trying and found some interesting stuff, first of all a screenshot with the tablet info:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second, it seems the tablet is already rooted but the root is just dummy or the interface has been disabled with deny set as default for any application.
So the trick to root it must be a way to replace de su binary or change the default permission to allow.
Any experts have any idea how to achieve this?

I thought about buying this Tab. But if there is no working root-methode or costumROM ability thats a dealbreaker for me.
You told that this tab should be identical to the "Ainol Novo 10 Hero". I dont know if that is true, because in one forum some guy told, that the HannSpee is chargeable via the USB-Port, and afaik the Ainol is not. You have the Hannspee, can you tell me if it is chargeable via USB ?
Anyway, on the german Amazon-site there is a guy that claims that costum-ROMs are working on the Ainol
I will ask him how he managed that and perhaps you can try that on you device. But I dont know if he answers, because responds on Amazon-rewievs are not like those in forums (often never answered)
hope some nerd comes up with a nice plan to break into this device......non-rooted devices are s**t!

Well, I deduced it was identical to the Ainol Novo cause at least the hardware specs are identical and the board and CPU are reported by CPU - Z to be the same one. Tablet layout is a little different thou.
Anyway yes, this one charges through the USB port, but really slowly, good enough to have the USB connected while using it and will not drain the battery, but on my last test it barely charged 5% in 3 to 4 hours of while using it.
Crossing my fingers you can get in contact with that guy and we can figure out how to root this ****er lol

He answered me, that his Hero came rooted when he bought it and that he simply had to install CWM. He posted a link with iinstructions but I bet it wont help, because the HANNSpree cames with kind of a fakeroot.

Unfortunately it didn't worked, kept failing at validating files when it was installing from default recovery.
Anyway, going to try another method, these are the steps I followed:
1) Get ADB working and recognized.
a) Download these modded drivers and extract them.
b) Do this to install them since the drivers are not signed:
run CMD as admin
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
reboot
install driver from device manager
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
reboot
c) Go to %userprofile%\.android folder and if it doesn't exist create a text file named "adb_usb.ini" (no quotes and make sure INI is the extension, not TXT), open it and just add "0x10D6" (no quotes), save it
d) open CMD as admin
adb devices
Your device should be recognized at this point, this is what I got:
C:\>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
2) Will update post with new findings here...
How to root the device
Last week I investigated a lot of days to solve the problem: (I'm sorry for not being able to post working links in this forum because I didn't write enough here. So you have to reconstruct my links yourself into your browser)
As omegadrive supposed you just have to exchange the su binary, give the right permissions and the Superuser App from the Playstore will immediately work.
The necessary USB drivers for the device are found here: http: //yadi.sk/d/54lX5c2O386XU
They only work with Windows 7!
After starting the "adb shell" you can gain root permissions on the device by typing "su". The su distributed with the device in /system/xbin is not compatible with common superuser apks. So it has to be exchanged with the version 3.1.1 binary: http: //downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
Copy it to your /sdcard. Then continue with adb shell:
Code:
$ su
# cd /system/xbin
Mount the system partition read/write:
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
Rename the original binary for later use (if something fails):
Code:
# mv su su-orig
Copy the binary to the xbin folder:
Code:
# busybox cp /sdcard/su ./su
Change the permissions:
Code:
# chmod 6755 su
Mount the system partition read-only and exit:
Code:
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
$ exit
Now install the Superuser App from the Playstore - and have fun! Do *NOT* Update the su binary from within the Superuser App or it will be overwritten with a non-working version!

umm, instead of using custom drivers, why not simply use the newest android Drivers? confirmed they work and device is reconized correctly, as long as you "install official droid drivers" then change the "adb_usb.ini" to only include 0x10D6 device, same as your last steps, but using official drivers, instead of custom ones. Maybe it has something to do with the failures?

thanks for this info. I'll test it out tonight, and let you know.
one question though.. so are you saying that future updates of SU will not work? if we do this, should we also disable auto-updates? If the software does update, will it break our system.. or simply that we need to reload the SU over again, but the OS will open, just limited to "non-rooted" ? ??

OMG!!! IT WORKED!!!
MANY THANKS!!!
Now have full root privileges woot!!! Tested with Titanium backup and ES File explorer they accepted root and got permission prompts :highfive:
I will update the OP with your instructions, they worked beautifully, MANY THANKS AGAIN!!!
Btw, Do you have any idea on which custom recovery may work and if the bootloader can be unlocked? (if it is locked, I can't see anything when booting into fastboot mode and Windows doesn't recognize the tablet at that moment, only shows unknown device)
I want to make a backup of the stock rom and start testing CM builds on it.

The original Android drivers never worked for me, used latest version 8.0 and the device was not recognized for some reason, only the modded drivers worked to recognize the ADB device. Btw, I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and had to turn off driver signature to get the ADB drivers installed, maybe the issue was Win8.1 itself, but oh well, at least now we have a solution. :laugh:

Update: After giving permissions with Superuser I went ahead and installed my SuperSU Pro license, gave it root rights (told it NOT to uninstall the other root app on prompt) and installed as a system app from within the app itself, reboot and voila! still fully rooted and binary updated (it replaced the other Superuser on reboot). So yeah, su binary updates are possible now :victory:
is there any custom recovery to install on this tablet?

This also was my first attempt but it failed. So I went the same way as Omegadrive did: I identified the device as a clone of the "Ainol Novo 10 Hero" and searched for appropriate drivers. I found the same ones as Omegadrive did. And they seem to be the only ones that are working.

I don't know if future binaries will work. When I manually updated the su-binary within the Superuser App it definitely didn't work anymore. Maybe because the su was exchanged with an older version (3.0.*). But Omegadrive said that updates are possible. So I don't know at the moment. Be careful anyway! Normally there is no reason for updating fully working binaries. The su binary is never updated automatically. So you don't have to deactivate any auto-updates.

The recovery mode is activated by pressing "Volume down -" and at the same time pressing the on/off key for about 3 seconds. Then releasing it while keep on holding down the "Volume -" until the recovery menu appears.
I think it will be possible to adapt the CWM Recovery. Perhaps we can investigate together on that!? Here the recovery file system table (for nandroid etc.). I just sent it to Ameer Dawood, the developer of "Online Nandroid Backup", so that he may integrate it into his App.
recovery filesystem table
=========================
0 /tmp ramdisk (null) (null) 0
1 /mnt/sdcard vfat /dev/block/actj (null) 0
2 /system ext4 /dev/block/actc (null) 0

Oh nice, thanks for the help, I'm no programmer, just a tinkerer, I'm willing to test anything you throw this way lol
My main priority right now is to make a backup of the current rom and then look for a way to repartition the /data cause 1Gb for apps is way too low, specially when there are 13Gb free on /sdcard, as want to make it 4Gb for /data and rest internal. I'm assuming I have to install custom recovery for that, or can ir be done right now from ADB?

If you want to store parts of the filesystem (like /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/dalvik-cache and libs) to the sd-card you probably will have to install a custom rom like cyanogenmod which supports additional partitions / filesystems on the sd-card (like ext2).
But you're right. The first thing to do before making any experiments is to make a full backup (nandroid) and be able to restore it from a recovery. So we first should investigate on that...
I just installed the CWM recovery for the Ainol Novo 10 Hero 2 for testing. The device started into the CWM recovery screen but then failed to mount some folders. The menu was working but most features were not functional. This means that the HSG1279 is *not* fully compatible with the Ainol Hero 2.
So we have to find another solution. I suppose it will be quite a lot of work to adapt the CWM recovery to this device...

what firmware version did you use?
I was able to root mine after a lot of tries.
First install the boot image by hosam kashto (using odin)
you need adb on your computer.(Get it in C:\Users"username"\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools [if you have android studio] be sure to hold down the shift key while right-clicking to get the open comand prompt option in the context menu).
when you run "adb shell" you should see [email protected]:/ # (this means your phone has root access but you can't use it on any apps unless you have the su and busybox binaries).
in the same "adb shell" command input mount -ro remount,rw /system (it will make the system partition writable so you can run a rooting app) [I used kingo root but if there is a better option you can tell me]
after kingo root is done you'll be able to run apps as root but there is one issue. any time i tried using another superuser apk that isn't kingosu the rooting had to be done over from the point of using kingo root
I hope this helps

In short you can use "mount -ro remount,rw /system" in adb shell
then push the su and busybox binaries to the bin, sbin, and xbin. (push su in bin, sbin and xbin; busybox should be in xbin only)
"mount -o remount,ro /system" makes the system read-only again, I didn't use it but i am not sure if that will cause a problem
