Review:
This is just your basic review of the Coby Kyros MID7127. I did test some video chatting apps. Skype did voice chat but not video. With Tango it requires a phone number and Google+ didn't have any kind of video/audio chat options I could find. Hope it hits everything you'd be looking for.
Rooting:
In this video I'm going to show you how to Root your new Coby Kyros MID7127 thanks to CLShortFuse over at XDA and his SuperOneClick Root Tool. CLShortFuse's work can be found here - [APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.1 - Automatic Driver Installation! - xda-developers
You'll need to download SuperOneClick V2.3.2
Android Market:
In this video I'm going to show you how to get the Android Market up and running.
You'll need to download and un-zip this file - Android Market - MID7127.zip
ClockWorkMod V4.0.1.5:
In this video I show you how to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on your Coby Kyros MID7127.
YOU MUST HAVE USB DEBUGGING SELECTED FOR ADB REBOOT RECOVERY TO WORK!
Download this - update.zip - and put it in the root of your sdcard. (sdcard/tflash)

Kyros 7127 help
OK, so I rooted my hubby's Kyros, and installed the market (via your videos) . I was not sure if I should add the clockwork mod recovery. I now see there are two versions posted, I assume I use the most recent...is this a one click method? Also, I am running into a couple problems...I was able to get around the issue of Netflix (went to the Amazon market), however, I did run into the problem of "not compatible with your device" when trying to download various apps from GMP. The other issue I'm having is while the device is sleeping, it keeps flashes to the lockscreen, on and off every minute. Any solution for this problem? Thanks for all your help
clockworkmod worked great on my coby kyros 7125,
I tried the adb commands, but kept getting the reply : not found
su
#
flash_imagerecovery/sdcard/recovery.img
then I got this reply
flash_imagerecovery/sdcard/recovery.img : not found
I tried it on my 7120 as well, same reply, I did the linux command ls
the recovery.img is under the sdcard directory what am I doing wrong?
I tried the update.zip method on my 7120 but the update would not install it would abort when it was all most finished
any suggestions
if your using adb on your computer to flash recovery use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the recovery.img needs to be in the root of your platform-tools folder for it to work.
before doing that you can try
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
this will show whether your adb is hooked up right and your in fastboot mode
i tried it and got this response
C:\Users\user>cd\android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# fastboot flash_recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash_recovery recovery.img
fastboot: not found
# fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot: not found

I got Market installed but many apps say on their Market page that they're not compatible. Is there a way to edit build.prop or something to fool Market into thinking this is another tablet?
What is fastboot?
Please help!
I downloaded android onto my kyros and it says that setup wizard has stopped unexpectedly and now it keeps doing it so I have no access to it. Help? anybody?
if needed you can contact me at [email protected]
Bricked mid7127 Coby Kyros, really messed up ..can this be fixed.
Alright So I ended up bricking my 7127 while attempting to copy the /system/apps/ over to sdcard thinking i was real smart... This went into force close spam, ultimately I restarted Tablet and Of course now it's stuck at the android start up.
Using some of the unbrick videos i managed to do some stuff with CWM and what not but this is where i went entirely wrong..
I ended up clicking "wipe date / factory reset" in the stock recovery menu.
So now when i try using adb or fastboot my PC cannot find the device at all and therefor I cannot flash any recovery images or anything else I'd need to do to unbrick.
Oh yeah.. did i mention that I never did a backup image either?
What can I Do at this point? OMG.. out of all things this is my girlfriends tablet she just baught..she's going to kill me lol.. I'd absolutely appreciate some help here BIG TIME!!
it can't be said enough, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
since you didn't make a backup, i don't know of anything you can do.
Can you get into fastboot mode? (Vol- and Power). If so, when you plug your tablet into your computer in fastboot mode, does your tablet make a noise like it sees something?
if yes to both of those, you would have been able to get out of this with a backup.
I just got this MID7127 and I did rooting, android market and I did what you did on the video with "update.zip".
All went fine, but I got two questions:
1. On tutorial with "update.zip" I did that update, but question is do I need to create some backup while there on that dos like menu?
2. When I connect MID7127 to my PC - is there a way to browse it and paste files on it?
Thanks
PS
I tried few "need for speed" games and they seem to run, but everything is white, cars, road, buildings... - is there a fix?
1) yes, make a backup. if anything were to ever go wrong, it'll save you.
2) yes, when you connect your tablet to pc, you'll see a usb symbol on your menu. pull down and click it.
as far as NFS goes, i'll try it and see what i get. i haven't played with it before
Thanks for reply man, I did a quickboot as you explained on the video and I did a backup
There was one line that said something like:
"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage"
and then after couple lines or so:
"No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext."
I did put quite a few games and apps and moved most to sd using "Link2sd", so I if I am understanding above line correctly apps installed on SD were not backed up.
Where is this file backed up as I will go delete it, move all apps to device, create backup and then move all back to SD. If I am correct in this then I will have whole thing backed up in case I ever need to restore it and then I can use "Link2sd" to move things to SD.
What was that line about "sd-ext"
Thank you for help
i'm guessing you don't have an external micro sd card? you'll need one to make a backup
I have 8Gb micro SD on it.
What did I mess up now?
Hello, I was wondering if I can get some sort of Office program, you know that I can edit and view Office documents, especially Word and Excel and PDF reader for my work??
I plan to buy one for 45 bucks and use it for basic stuff, video, audio, editign and viewing docs as a mentioned before, maybe Facebook, twitter and MSN perhaps. In your opinion as a user of this model, Would it be worth it to buy it to use it for the reasons I described above.
I know they're better out there but money is low for this particular matter right now, So i was thinking get this meanwhile and then sell it, right, after all its 45 bucks

For $45 you can't go wrong with it. It will do all the above, well no msn video chatting though.
You will find all programs if you [email protected]@gle for them and more.
I got one of these for my 7 year old and he is having fun with it. It plays asphalt 5 great, it wont do 6 or any newer games, but its ok for older games and all the stuff you mentioned.
Hope this helps.
Assistance with KTZ site and ROM installation
NEED HELP. I have rooted and installed clockwork already from XDA, not sure if that's the same as the KTZ version.
The KTZ site doesn't allow me to see anything, and I mean ANYTHING. "The topic or post you requested does not exist" is the error I get whenever I click on anything. or you do not have access or permission. Yes, I registered for the forum already. I have to go in circles to find stuff, don't know what's going on.
Also the one ROM I did manage to download keeps giving me installation error any thoughts?
i accidentally deleted the "vold.fstab" archive for internal memory in " System /etc" past, using root explorer. I was trying to change the internal memory to external memory after Root the smartphone.
After deleted vold.fstab, the Smarthone doesn't recognizes the SDcard..
all the backups app there was in Sdcard using " Titanium backup" , so how the sdcard doesnt recognizes , i can't install the " titanium backup and vold.stab and root explore " anymore... When i try to install i see the frase " There isnt exists SdCard"
in desperate, i uninstalled the Android from the smartphone.
Now, the smartphone starts in the inicial page " Blu" massage and stop in this situation.
Dear Friend or others friends , do you know how i recovery this original android firmeware or or in preference " Blu studio 5.3 firmeware android 2.3.5" to re-install?
which program i use to recovery this phone? i use the same oneclick that i did the root in the beginning?
Please, someone help me if could...
sorry my poor english to explain, i hope you understand my little english words.
I finally entered in Recovery mode, just plugin the USb as a recharge and when the "Battery" is show in the screen We need press "+ volume with Power" for 5 seconds..
i can see the SDcard with Recovery mode but i tryed to open all the pasts and this did nothing.
i pressed REboot and the smartphone reinitialized in the same way , only " blu" in the initial page stoped.
I have in Pc all the Backups, but the smartphone doesnt open what i need, the firmware.
when i plug the mobile via usb in pc , the pc "see" a new dispositive but i dont have access to pasts ou system
when i starts oneclick to root or unroot the mobile for my surprise the model is recognizes as HTC Desire because few days ago i changed the model in the past using "root explorer" for my mobile be recognizes as HTC to download games and apps.
now, i cant change this too.
i dont know what i do.
does exists Blu Studio 5.3 Firmware available in someplace?
If i buy a new Blu Studio 5.3 , can i copy something or all software in the new to pass for the "bricked" phone to triying it works?
android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3
Someone have the Android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3 to send? i accidentally deleted this and now i cant use the phone, it s only in the " Blu" initial page when i start one
When you plug the phone in USB, you say it shows up on the pc, and you have rooted it. Can you use adb on the PC to get a shell on the phone? If so, see if you can use adb to push a copy of /etc/vold.fstab back onto the phone.
---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
Also, sounds stupid, but try removing the sdcard and rebooting.

Dear Friend,
As your phone goes to Recovery, you may try selecting 3rd option(i guess) to wipe and reset to factory. Of course you may lose user data in phone, but phone would be reverted to position as newly bought.
I myself am in same kind of trouble but worse.
I am new to all these and got into a REAL problem of late.
I have purchased BLU 5.3 510A product from amazon just a about a month ago.
It is stuck now and for some reason NOT showing recovery too. I tried all possible methods and searched help on web too.
I learned that with SP tools I may be able to flash stock stuff into it. But I do not have any backup of it as it was pretty new.
Would you be kind enough to provide me with the original dump or whatever required with adequate instruction for how to go about it?
Please help me if found a dump already as this is the ONLY device I have and I am completely stuck with no other option.
Or if your phone already started working kindly take a minimal dump and give it pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaassssse.
may contact me at bala(dot)kc(at)gamil(dot)com
Many thanks in advance for a QUICK reply.

I need a stock recovery image for the Coby Kyros 7022 build 20120106 (previous builds will not work). I tried to flash clockworkmod recovery on my tablet without making a backup of the stock image, only to find that cwm recovery doesn't work with the new build of my tablet. Can anyone give me a stock recovery image for this tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same Problem.
I have yet to find a solution since 02/2012.
Maybe you can try this?
stock recovery image for Coby 7022
same probleme right here
Coby 7022 20120106 build
I ended up with no recovery after trying to install clockwork. Recovery didn't work (it bypassed recovery when using the proper keys) and I had no good backup. Flashing older firmware in the 11 2011 timeframe led to boot loops. I've not been able to find a stock Coby 7022 firmware from 20120106. However, I did find another post here regarding a different tablet using the same tcc8803 chipset with the same build date. dub dub dub dxtremeDOTcom.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=15 (remove spaces insert correct www etc...) So I gave it a try. I'm actually able to get the 7022 booted using this firmware and system but the touchscreen is not working, so I'm guessing that driver is not exactly correct.
Completely a noob but wanting to learn. BTW I did not use the FWTool as I read posts this kills the TS
So my ask is, does anyone know of a way to get the drivers for the 7022 build dated 20120106?

This restore didn't work on my system. The 7022 from 20120106 seems to be a rare animal and little info on it yet.
Same problem here, I tried to flash a previous CWM/Stock Recovery and nothing... just bootloop when I try to enter recovery mode. So, does anyone have the stock recovery for the 20120106 build yet? Thank you in advance for the one who can help

After reading a bit, it seems what we need are two files that could be copied off a working stock machine of the proper build date or later. In our case on or after 20120106. The problem for me seems to be the lk.rom file. The ROM I used for the DExtreme pad boots but no touch screen function due to the DExtreme being a 5 touch capacitance screen and the Kyros 7022 being but 2.
There may be other problems with the DExtreme files like the camera being different or even the network adapter but no way of telling without the stock boot file. Anyway, I've resigned myself. My 7022 is a paper weight until I find the stock files.
If anyone comes across this looking to root and clockwork mod your 7022 and it's build date is on or after Jan 6 2012, please stop and use ADB to pull a copy of your stock OS off it first. Not only will you be able to help us out, but you'll be able to restore when things go horribly wrong.

Well, I'm expecting another 7022 to arrive next week (kind of a late Mother's day gift), I assume it will be same build, so, I'll try to pull a copy of that unit and see if I can restore it on te semi-dead one. I will post again when it arrives to tell if it worked (or if I have two bricks xD). If it works, I'll upload a copy.

1) You need to install the Android SDK, instructions can be found HERE, but basically you need to:
-) Download the .exe and install it
-) Locate the folder where you installed it and run as administrator “SDK Manager.exe”
-) Check (if unchecked) the boxes for SDK Tools, SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver Package. You can check any others if you want, but for now, you only need those.
2) You (may) need the specific drivers for the device. You can use the Motorola drivers, which work very nice with the Cobys, you can install the drivers from HERE. Just download and install.
3) You need to root your device, for that, I recommend using SuperOneClick, which can be found HERE. Too root your device:
-) Make sure you have “USB Debugging mode” activated. In your tablet, go to settings -> Applications -> Development and check (if unchecked) the USB Debugging mode.
-) Connect your device to your PC, if it’s the first time you connect it, you need to wait a little while the drivers get configured.
-) When your device is connected and correctly configured, run SuperOneClick as administrator, and click on “Root”. Now wait a little while it gets rooted.
4) Last step, backup recovery image. For this, you’ll need a terminal emulator. You can download “Android Terminal Emulator” from 1mobile.com or any other app market. To do the backup:
-) Open the terminal emulator on your tablet.
-) Request SuperUser Permissions, to do this, write
Code:
su
and hit enter/return, you’ll be asked if you want to grant SuperUser rights to the app Android Terminal Emulator, click “Allow”.
-) Write this line and hit enter/return:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
-) Now, a file named “recovery.img” should be automatically created on your /sdcard folder. THAT, my friend, is the file we so desperately need to revive our tablets, now zip it and uploaded to any server. (Please )
Now that you are rooted, you can do things such as installing the Google apps. There are a lot of tutorials over the internet, but, let me know if you have any trouble so I can help you
WARNING: Don’t, I repeat DON’T try to install ClockWorkMod using ANY of the tutorials found over the internet. Those tutorials work ONLY for builds previous to 20110106, and if you try to do it on your device, you are going to semi-brick it (just like we did xD).
I just got it as a replacement under warranty today and have not done anything to it. I am busy studying for finals now but when I get a chance(prob friday morning) I will follow the steps and upload the recovery.img file

Well, no problem. If you do that we'll be EXTREMELY thankful
This might be a stupid question but bear with me, I don't know anything about this. Does personal info get stored on the recovery.ing file? Should I remove apps like the amazon app store or other ones that I have to log in with?

Will the recovery img work or do we need complete lk.rom and mtds.rom? I was thinking the latter/ You can use ADB to get these files? Still pretty much a noob myself, otherwise I wouldn't be using my 7022 as a coaster.

For the recovery, no. You just need to reflash the stock recovery using fastboot. Let's see if this works...

Negative, the recovery.img file contains only information about the recovery partition, which is used mostly to restor the tablet to factory defaults
---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
IT WORKS!!!! IT FREAKING WORKS!!!
Dude, nduke416, thank you VERY MUCH. You have definitely provided a solution no one did. So, again thank you very much!!!!
for chiefcrewdog:
to reflash it, you just need to enter fastboot mode in your tablet (power + vol down), copy the recovery.img file to your platform-tools directory on your android sdk folder and from there on a cmd:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and that's it, you have your recovery back on your 7022!!

Man, is there a possibility you could upload a backup of the boot.img too? the procedure is the same, just changing the dd command to:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
I could really appreciate it, that way there is the possibility to have custom ROMs on our builds
Thank you!
I have assembled a rooting CD for Droid 2 Global phones that have taken the .629 update.
I got the info on how to do this from phifc's post at
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29930-new-root-method-for-stock-234-621622-found-droid2-r2d2/
so all credit for this method go to phifc, djrbliss, and the others who developed the method.
I have simply taken the method, and assembled the tools for the Droid 2 Global.
Credit for the idea behind the CD method should go to 1KDS, as I have mostly patterned this CD after his method.
Credit should also go to Skrilax_CZ, as without his Motorola Android Firmware (De)packer, we wouldn't be able to have a CD under 50 meg.
I have tested this CD on my phone, and found it to work properly, but I can't guarantee that it will work for others. Others have also found it to work, but I can't guarantee you will have the same results.
You are welcome to try it, and I hope it is helpful to someone, but as with all modifications, you do so at your own risk.
Instructions for using this CD.
Download and burn this image file to CD. (or create bootable USB)
It might be a good idea to do a factory reset before starting this process, but you might be ok without it. My phone had already been rooted, so I had to sbf it back to stock, in order to test the CD, so I have only tried it after a factory reset.
1 Enable USB debugging on the phone,
2 Boot computer off of this CD
3 Hook up phone to computer (phone needs to be on at this point)
4 Start the root process by selecting option 1
5 When it says on the screen that phone needs placed in bootloader, (almost right away, as it only needs to send 1 command before placing in bootloader) power off the phone, and put it in bootloader by holding the up arrow on the keyboard of the phone while powering on.
6 when in bootloader and hooked up to the phone, press enter on the computer to proceed, a preinstall image will be flashed to the phone, providing the exploit that will root the phone.
7 When it has flashed, the phone should reboot. If it hangs when booting, unplug phone, remove battery, replace battery and power back on. When powered on, hook up cable again, and the process will continue (it will immediately reboot again)
8 When the phone reboots, ADB should be root, so it will push the necessary files to the phone, and reboot the phone again. Per Morlok8k, cache should be wiped to avoid bootloop problems, so the phone will be rebooted into Recovery.
9 You will have to press both volume buttons to enter recovery, where you should wipe cache partition and reboot.
If all went well, your phone should be rooted.
If you try it, please verify if it works for you, or gives you trouble.
Hope this helps someone.
I updated the CD (mainly just made it a bit smaller) and uploaded it to Mediafire
http://www.mediafire.com/?394ha4dzjtyqpqb
I also uploaded it to rapidshare,
https://rapidshare.com/files/1105339167/D2G_629-Root_CD-updated.iso
the md5 for the updated CD is
84ff5a572e98c3eb366cc6fec13f99d5
I also previously forgot to mention that this method works fine off a bootable usb drive, a CD is not necessary. I use Unetbootin to create the bootable usb, and it works well for me.
Update
Since there is now a direct rooting method of .629 available, I also put it together with an EzSbf style CD of the full .629 SBF.
One item of note with this CD, it does require at least 1GB of RAM in order to work properly. Also, if you only have 1GB of memory, and you need to both SBF and root your phone, it will be necessary to reboot the computer after flashing the .629 SBF. If you are unsure of the amount of RAM that you have, go ahead and reboot to be on the safe side.
The CD is available at
https://rapidshare.com/files/2650843793/D2G_4.5.629_SBF-and-RootCD.iso
and the MD5 is
579d7d5095fc2560205033456db150a2
So there are two CD's available, both of which work to root .629. The second CD should also work as a recovery CD, as it contains the full .629 SBF
There is also a mirror of these files provided by sd_shadow at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Oj1a1wNZKhZMPUqU_6KzzYzQJ2RKzvvumTx-41f3h4/edit
Cant wait to try this out.
I got a Gnex so since I had to replace my D2G due to a messed up keyboard and got a post 629 back I havn't really messed with it. Mainly just becuase I havn't had time. But I am definently going to have to try this. BTW, I have two D2Gs that I am looking to sell. Thinking I will put them on Swappa. Both are Verizon insurance replacements but becuase of that they are in perfect shape. One is white and one is blue. I hate to just have them sitting here when someone could enjoy them, so hit me up if you want to make a offer. Im pretty open price wise. Not looking to make a killing since they are older devices. I will also throw in a extra battery, two car docks, screen protectors, a couple chargers and....I think thats it.
Worked perfect but I can't figure out how to make a nandroid. Wanna make one so I have a reference point so I can take out bloat. Any help would be great.
sent from thunda down unda
to make a nandroid backup, you need to install Droid 2 bootstrap recovery
It looks like the download isn't available anymore, could anyone please re-upload it? Thanks.
Which file? I think ad_shadow has mirrored the files in another thread.

Thanks for the ISO bhigham, worked like a charm.
What I am having trouble figuring out is how to install cyanogenmod post root. I am following the instructions in the wiki, can't link due to new account but it is the Install_CM_for_droid2we guide.
And when I get down to the line,
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
I get a permission denied error.
See while my phone is rooted, the default shell is the non-root shell ('$' vs '#'). Apparently the old root method would give you a default root shell.
Anyone have any ideas how to precede here?
i think root failed, because adb shell should be root
retry
is phone rebooting to android os, twice after flashing in bootloader, or rebooting to bootloader?
if it's rebooting to bootloader, pull usb cable during reboot, reconnect after phone has completed reboot

not sure how you could know that, without superuser
Sorry, the vital information I left out is that when I type 'su' I can elevate to the root prompt. I assumed this means my phone was correctly rooted.
The phone did the double reboot into the Android OS and everything looked like it was working correctly.
if phone is rooted, you could try
pete's root tools or motofail, to push superuser
links in my list
sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links: FAQs, Guides, Rooting, SBFs, ROMs... - Google Docs
I actually have the superuser app on my phone already. The Root CD in the OP must have added it.
So if I got to the next step in the wiki, pushing the recovery bootstrap onto the phone,
Code:
adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/
At first I get a read only file system error, which goes away away when I remount /system using,
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
But then I get a permission denied erro when running the push. Again I think this is because the default shell does not have root.
Is there someway to evaluate the privileges of the push command?
i have always found the easiest way to get apks from pc to phone, is
connect phone to pc in mass storage mode, drag apk to sd card
change phone to charge only, use file manager or root explorer
find apk tap on it, select install
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
app will not be a system app, but does not need to be, and on D2G I never installed it as a system app
Ah that sounds like a simpler approach. I just realized I don't even have a sd card on this phone, the person who gave it to me apparently removed it. So I just ordered one for the phone as I don't think it would very useful without one.
ok, not sure why you can't push it as a system app
if you have 3g or wifi available, download apk directly to phone
then use file manager or root explorer
find apk (should be in download folder) tap on it, select install
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------
guess you can't download without sd card
So I got my SD card and tried installing cyanogenmod and got stuck on the Motorola screen. Not sure what I did wrong but I am reflashing the SBF to try again.
what file name?
where did you find it?
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
I can't link due to my newness but it was kind of roundabout where I installed the droid 2 recovery bootstrap but then couldn't figure out how to get into clockwork recovery, so I went on the play store, downloaded clockwork from there and reboot into recover and installed the cyanogen mod from the official site plus the google apps zip. Then I wiped data and cache and rebooted but got stuck on the Motorola logo.
In the process of trying again. This time I got the recovery bootstrap installed and was about to reboot directly into clockwork with no play store needed. I was going to wipe data/factory and then install from zip. I don't see the point in creating a backup as I could find no way to restore.
official cm7 is still flashed on 2.2/2.4.33

Xtreamer Wonder - Android media player
Rooting guide
DISCLAIMER
Everything you decide to do with your device is at your own risk.
I take no responsibility for any damage caused by any of your root-related activities.
Introduction
This guide will help you to gain root on your Xtreamer Wonder Android media player.
It has been tested and confirmed working on all firmwares currently available.
How it works
Rooting method takes advantage of amlogic system update facility that can be activated using
Reset button. Rooting package contains my special modified version of original recovery image that installs all the necessary root components during recovery boot.
Highlights
- easy to use
- low risk of bricking - possible to reset device whenever needed
- won't void warranty - unroot possible by simply resetting device
- won't wipe any system or user data
- won't replace original recovery
Requirements
USB stick/SD card formatted as fat32 (NTFS will not work).
In case procedure below fails try to use smaller USB stick/SD card up to 4GB.
Instructions
1) Download proper rooting ZIP package matching the version of Android system installed on your Wonder (Kitkat or Lollipop)
2) Extract ZIP package directly to the root of micro SD card/USB stick and insert micro SD card/USB stick back into Wonder.
3) Turn off Wonder and unplug power cable
4) Disconnect all other devices from USB ports (including airmouse receiver)
5) Use paper clip to push reset button located below Ethernet connector
6) Plug in power cable keeping reset button pressed until device boots into recovery; then release reset button
7) Recovery should show either "Wiping" or just a progress bar without text
DO NOT PANIC, NOTHING WILL ACTUALLY BE WIPED APART FROM CACHE
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS.
Wait patiently for couple of minutes for the process to finish, Wonder will reboot automatically.
Next steps are necessary for older KitKat firmwares only. In Lollipop fw, SuperSU will be installed during rooting process automatically.
8) After reboot, use play store to install SuperSU by Chainfire
9) Open SuperSU and confirm to update su binary when asked (choosing Normal method)
In case rooting fails
Grab supersu.log from /data/local/tmp directory on Wonder filesystem and attach it within this thread.
In case your file manager app is unable to navigate to that directory, you can use terminal emulator app to cd to that
directory and use copy command to copy out the log to /sdcard where you can access it from file manager app.
Unrooting instructions
Flash original firmware following Xtreamer's standard firmware upgrade instructions.
This will wipe all user data!!!

AFAIK, it's not currently possible as OpenELEC does not officially support AmLogic chips.
There are some ports for AmLogic here on XDA but not sure whether compatible with Wonder.
Btw, I have built custom clockworkmod recovery for Wonder so it would be possible to flash different system if people want to get adventurous It's currently experimental but I have successfully made a nandroid backup/restore test with it.

Yesterday xtreamer released a new firmware (see in the forums) and i could not resist to experiment a little bit, because i was now safe that i have something for recovery. So i took an Openelec build from Kerber (google for kerber openelec) for the 812 chipset and replaced the the wonder firmware and flashed the openeelec build. You simply need to exchange the zip file.
System is coming up and so far everything was working fine, network, moview, audio, however, and thats the reason why i have gone back to android, the air mouse control buttons are not properly mapped and after some time the system begins to stutter. But I assume this ws coming from pressing different buttons at once. I hope someone will do some reconfig for the airmouse.
Flashing back to the wonder firmware was not problem.
Thanks for your job. I've rooted my wonder but now Kodi doesn't work. How about?
I don't think root has anything to do with kodi working or not. My stock xbmc works just fine. What are the symptoms?
@c0ldsun
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was afraid of flashing openelec as the installation package also replaces bootloader which could brick device easily and prevent reset from working
The stock XBMC work fine but the new Kodi for HEVC video file doesn't open when i start it and stay on black screen

I had too many issues on Kodi 14 even before rooting. Lag, black screen which could be solved only with reboot. That's why I went back to stock XBMC.
Of course but stock XBMC doesn't read HEVC h265 file
Thx for the root image, works fine!
But I am unable to write to the external sd-card, I tried to fix the permissions.xml but it did not work.
("SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" from Google Play Store can not solve the problem.)
Can you write to the external sd-card? Any idea for a fix?
I was thinking we can solve this kitkat limitation with root permission....
Thanks for your help!
Greeting,
Wille
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I couldn't make it work either. Seems like ext SD is mount read-only so permissions.xml fix is not enough. After doing some tests I found out I can only write to SD when I use terminal to issue:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /storage/external_storage/sdcard1
The same issue I experience in my custom built clockworkmod recovery. I can't make backups to external SD. I believe there's something at kernel level driver that makes SD card mounting always read-only.
boot loop
Hi, where i cant get stock rom?
Any idea?
