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.
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:

XDA offer a guide to rooting all devices, you can find it here
Any news? thanks for everything
Hi man, i managed to root my Iconia One 7 (B1-750).
I downloaded and used the tool on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 i used the T3 Option.
Be carefull when removing the Acer files as i had problems when my device would reboot when it woke from sleep so i suggest to make a backup of them with Titanium befor you remove them.
If you do remove them like me on acident without making a backup look for the stock B1-810 rom which is on xda somewhere and pull the apks from there to your device the files are in the system/app and system/priv-app folders.
Guys, please i need your help, i just tried to use xposed installer but after installing the required files in /system and rebooting my tablets softbricked.

Sounds good that you guys have been able to root it.
What ROM have you installed afterwards?
My son has this tablet and mainly I am bugged by the fact that apps can not be installed on SD card.
Need help with flash browser, would rooting help?
I have a new Acer Iconia B1-750 and I am trying to use the paid version of Puffin Browser to access a Learning Management System to play elearning modules developed in flash. I have the free version which installed without any problem but when I try to buy the paid version to have a flash browser i get "Unexpected error, please try again later". Has anyone come across this issue or is there a way around it - it doesn't have to be Puffin but I know these modules work with this browser. I have tried dophin and UC browser but they keep giving me a Flash failed to Load error. Would rooting my tablet help me get around this?

Currently there is no custom rom you can flash and i think there would never be
It's an Intel tablet, the bootloader is locked and unknown so wow
Personally i advice you to not try anything unless someone else did it and it worked ! I remember myself when i tried xposed installer and it didn't work, my tablet was stuck and i really though it was over [Imagine , my savings gone ! ] i will never do it again, it's not like those chienese tablets that when you mess up with them, you just connect it to your pc and flash a rom with sp flashtool.
Hello.
I have a problem with the tablet Acer Iconia one 7 b1-750.
I rooted and then I deleted some applications with root explorer.
But now that the camera does not start, I get a message "Unable to connect the camera."
I have restored the tablet and continues with the same fault, is there any way to reinstall the software factory.
Any solution?
See if someone can help me. Thanks in advance. A Greeting.:good:

It's a bit tricky. The device drivers do not include this specific device. I have the exact change you need at home, but here's what you need to do.
Extract the Acer driver files to your HDD.
Browse to the inf folder.
Open the file intc_adb.inf.
Look for the arch your desktop is running, either [Generic.NTx86] for x86 or [Generic.NTamd64] for 64 bit.
Under the section header from the previous step, look for the CPU model. In this case it's "; Intel Baytrail Android".
Open your device manager, find the ADB device in the tree. Right click it and go to the Details tab.
Change the Property drop list to "Hardware IDs". Take note of the values in the list.
Go back to your .inf file you are editing. Find the line that says "%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0502&PID_3705&MI_01 ; ADB + MTP"
Update the line with the harware ID's you noted previously.
Save the file.
Now update the driver the usual way and the ADB driver should work fine.
After doing all that I still was not able to get the device rooted (using the T3 option). It stops at the DROIDBOOT screen. If you get past it, post back with how you did it please.
Hi Domito,
Thanks for the answer.
Wih your help, I managed to install the driver.
When I launch the .bat file, the tablet reboots under droidboot, unfortunatly I get these message, them nothing else happens :
Code:
E:installer device ignored
FASTBOOT INIT ...
E:Failed to mount device '/dev/block/sda1' as installer partition using fs_type 'vfat'
E:installer device ignored
E:installer device ignored
E:No valid installer medium found.
FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...
Could not open /sys/devices/virtual/blacklight
Has anybody also experienced this ?
Can you please help ?
Thanks
Hello, I was stucked at the same screen. But there is one solution. When you see this log you will have to open device manager. There will be "android device" or something like that. Then you will have to enter driver update, choose android devices and then acer composite adb driver. After that the CWM will show up at tablet. Sorry for my english.

I don't know why, but that happens when you remove the korean keyboard. You must reflash the original ROM and then proceed to remove all the bloatware except the korean keyboard.
Just like in thread. I need to root my device to have a possibility to use my SD Card, because its blocked by android. If you guys can, show me how I can root it, and then how can I make my device to install apps on my SD Card wiithout problems. Thank you for helping

Hey its very simple to root, but i found it after searching for it a lot. Download Kingo Root app from pc, There are two ways. 1. You can do it with android app directly in your tab. 2. Do using pc. I have done using Android app. So you can get the apk file in its website or google it. Go to products in it website and download apk for android. You have to download it from pc as market doesnt shows. After download install and open the app. It will show your Tab or android details, like Model name and android version. And details either its rooted device or Not. if it is not rooted it will indicate as no root, so click on the bottom of the page to root. It will do 4 things wait till its done till 100%. Approximately it may take around 2 to 5 minutes. After its done, Restart the device. And again open the App. Check what it indicate as rooted device or non rooted. If it shows as rooted, then your smartphone is successfully rooted. And if it shows as No root try again.
Note Try even though if your device is not listed in list, because list is incomplete, because it say "NOT LISTED" does not necessarily mean "NOT SUPPORTED".
for any more details regarding it plz mail me at [email protected]
I have searched for months on end to try and find a way to root my Goclever quantum 700s but hadnt had any luck up until now i download some software called "mobilego" made by "wondershare"
(id post the link but im new here so this isnt allowed as yet) google the above
Install mobilego to your pc/laptop
Start mobilego and connect your device (enable usb debugging)
At the top of mobilego you will see the "root" button click that and away you go it will find all drivers it needs automatically and also its app on your device (not sure why my guess would be for communication during root) your tablet will restart once or twice but just leave it to run DONT use the device once its complete congratulations you now have root access.
I tried all other methods every single .apk i could find all failed the above method worked for me so thought i would share as i see nobody claiming to have root yet so this maybe helpful
PS i would like someone to point me in the right direction as to identify what it has installed so i can maybe find a suitable custom rom that will work with the help from you guys :good:
