[Q] Help rooting TVPAD IPTV device - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I just got a TVPAD IPTV device. It uses a TV remote for data entry. I am doing some repetitive tasks which are limited by lack of keyboard access.
If I can get root access my work will be more efficient and satisfying.
Can anyone help me root this mofo?
Here are some specifics:
The gizmo is running a modified Linux OS (as opposed to Android) which is referred to as a Linux Board Support Package (BSP) and is using
BusyBox
Android Version 2.3.4 Customized
TVPAD version 3.14
Model M121S_3311_GVOS2
Processor : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 6 (v6l)
BogoMIPS : 719.25

CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xb76

Any guidance greatly appreciated

Help Recognize my Tablet

Hello All,
The problem is that I am new on this platform so I cant start a new topic so please forgive me that I am posting under this current one as it best fits my own problem too.
I have Purchase a China Tab from a Local Store and this don't have any brand mentioned on it. All that was written on the pack is MID Android 10" Tablet PC Android 10-inch High Resolution. But I have got issues with it...
PROBLEM
1. The screen is not well calibrated... I think because when it is not plugged to anything, along a line on the screen, I cant type anything, if I need to type a key on that part, I have to move my finger a bit to the left so as to be able to get precision.
2 Whenever I plug it to power or computer, the screen gets distorted and I think that is because of the current going over it.. but y?
3. I cant install some other applications from Market because it says "Your Device isn't Compatible with this version" (but i can use same app on my Tab when i download from pc)
AND CAN I UPGRADE TO CUSTOM ROM LIKE JELLY BEAN?
Using Quadrant Advanced, I have the info below;

we can never be so sure on some china products nowadays especially when it is brandless lol
if it helps, try looking at the box your tablet came with and download their specific usb drivers
also, i doubt your tablet will get jellybean.
hope this helps

sorry, took me a while to get this done.
If anyone would be so kind to look at my log and see what problem I am facing. Videos just would not play and are always stuck at 00:00. I tried all sorts of combination with H/W+, H/W and S/W. Uninstalled and reinstalled did not work either.

I have the same problem too using a Unblock Tech Gen2 S800 (dolphin_fvd_p1-eng 4.4.2 KOT49H 20161109 test-keys)
It worked for months until the last two days. I then tried re-flashing the ROM for a clean slate. It worked for a few hours then stopped. I had to uninstall MX Player. I hope it can be fixed.

Here's two logs I made.
I was able to force it to play afterwards by using Background Play. But, it won't respect video aspect ratio and all videos are zoomed in no matter what I changed to.

any way to upgrade the OS on a THL W3 (not "plus")?

I've got a very cool tiny fairly-smart phone that I've used for traveling, running on OS 4.0.4 . Heavily use whatsapp to contact friends, family, locals on it, but I just found out that around November (2021), WA is going to up their minimum to OS 4.1, so I'll lose it unless I toss this phone and swap the account to a newer phone.
-Does anyone have any clue as to any upgrade OS available for this venerable device?? -There's no OS ugrade available from the manufacturer (THL), unfortunately.
Seems like a massive waste to throw away the phone, in that it does the job, the camera is actually acceptable, Waze and its GPS makes for a good road trip worldwide (of course, covid for now is shutting that down), mini-opera fits OK as a browser, have watched youtube in small airports,-and it's also incredibly sturdy...
Not even sure if I'm one of the remaining few to have one running (got a "new" clone battery from aliexpress, but, heck, it's a clone phone that sings when you turn it on [THL==Technology Happy Life], so that worked out fine ;-).
Just in case, I'm copying the full Droid Info details below here (check out those 2013 specs!! ;-).
Hope someone can help out on this! -No need to get to a very new OS - it doesn't have much space, -even 4.1 is good enough...
-Hmmm, as a thought, -any way to hack it's play service interface to fool apps (let's say WA) to think it's 4.1 ??
Thanks for your help and time!!

Tablet identification and alternate firmware Neutab X7 MT8127

Thank you for this forum! It has been very helpful for me to improve a number older tablets with fresh firmware from dedicated folks.
Now, I have an old generic tablet I am trying to save from the trash, and need help to identify it.
The brand is Neutab, specifically a Neutab X7. Amazon sold them for a while. A cheap KitKat tablet with Bluetooth.
Got this one in 2015(!) ASIN: B00RCA2OFK, listed as NeuTab® X7 7'' Quad Core Google Android 4.4 KitKat Tablet PC, Bluetooth, HD Dual Camera, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM.
What is the right forum to ask for tips in identifying and building and installing a more modern firmware?
The device build fingerprint is alps/X7/X7:4.4.2/KOT49H/1418107401:user/test-keys
The MAC address starts off with 8c:84:01:c8 which IEEE shows as a "private" vendor.
Hardware serial number is RGIZSGDANZS47LSK
I did get Google Play on to it at one point, but now Google Play has constant "Unfortunately" messages.
