Yes, I rooted my Teclast A11 4.1.1 tablet using the files and methods in this post:
Edit: As a new user I can't seem to post links.
I'll write it out instead.
blog dot sina dot com dot cn slash s slash blog_899fd55d01017nsb.html
Note: The site is in Chinese but google translate worked for me!
The root process was easy - the hard part was finding USB-drivers that worked with the tablet. After browsing through countless Chineese forums I got the advice to install an application called Moborobo. The software itself is quite buggy but the USB-drivers seems to work well.
On a different note - my A11 has a very annoying problem. The numbers in it's MAC address are separated by periods instead of colons. Is that the case with your tablet as well?
This makes the tablet unusable for some applications (i.e. Sonos Controller).
Good luck with your rooting!
Edit 2013-01-04: The latest update fixed my problem with the MAC address. You can get it here: http pan dot baidu dot com / share / link?shareid=147758&uk=489415757&third=0

How to get screen off during hdmi out?
I need to get my tablet screen off during hdmi out. It's kinda irritating and waste of battery with screen on during hdmi out. How to get the tablet off screen during hdmi out to tv?
My tablet (Teclast A11) with stock rom jelly bean 4.1.1 v1.11, dated 20121217.
The previous link you suggested only says N101 and teclast A10. Is A11 applicable too?

Can't help you with your screen off-problem (you may wanna look in to Tasker as it can do almost everything) but I have successfully rooted my A11 with the instructions in the first link. It's the same chipset so I gave it a go and it worked nicely. No guarantees though...

Verified successfully rooted teclast A11 dual core.

Step 1 : Download moborobo. Install it to your laptop/pc.
Step 2 : Download TPSparkyRoot-4.1.1Root.7z use winrar.
Step 3: Check all your resources. Inside [TPSparkyRoot-4.1.1Root] folder you should have:
1: RootExplorer.apk
2. SuperSu.apk
3. TPSparkyRoot.bat
Step 4: Switch on Teclast A11 (with more than 40% of battery) plug into microsd data cable. Wait for moborobo to detect and install tablet driver. Ignore typical windows that ask you for usb device driver. Eventually moborobo will do all the job to connect your tablet to pc.
Step 5: On tablet go to --> setting --> enable usb debugging mode. Click the check box next to it. [USB debugging mode]. Also set display to continuosly ON for 30 mins, to avoid sleep.
Step 6: Launch moborobo. Under --> Home. Click refresh to get your tablet connected.
Step 7: After tablet connected by moborobo. Go to App. Install RootExplorer.apk and SuperSu.apk
Step 8: Launch TPSparkyRoot.bat on your pc. Sit back and wait for tablet to restart.
[ you will get message : Rebooting - 1/3 : Continue once your device finishes rebooting]
Step 9: Your tablet successfully reboot. Hit enter or any key on your laptop/pc
[you will get message : Rebooting - 2/3 : Continue once your device finishes rebooting]
Your tablet rebooting second time.
Step 10: Your tablet successfully reboot. Hit enter or any key on your laptop/pc
[you will get message : uid - 0 (root) gid - 0 (root)
If the uid - 0 then continue (hit any key/enter) if not press control+c.
Suppose you will get uid-0 for both.
Finally done. You've successfully root your device. Enjoy!!
Note: You can check your root access by download "root checker" from google play store.

Teclast A11 is not compatible to moborobo (any Teclast is not supported regarding the moborobo compatibility list)
I have tried the whole procedure and always it stucks at installing internal moborobo drivers. So i had no success to root Teclast A11 until now.
There is no real root procedure available which works with Teclast A11.
Has anybody real success to root this device????? Please tell us all how you really done it by yourself.
Thank you very much in advance.

Well I don't know what to tell you - the drivers that came with Moborobo v2.0.7.501 was the only ones that worked for me. I originally had the Android SDK drivers but they didn't work for me with the Teclast A11. When I uninstalled those drivers and then installed Moborobo I could connect to the tablet.
Btw. I have Windows 7 64bit
Other than that I followed the steps outlined in the link on my first post and my tablet is now rooted.

hmm i can see that Moborobo is buggy because it allows me now to connect to the teclast over wifi only but it still does not reconize the teclast as teclast a11 over usb, and after Moborobo try to connect, it wants to install drivers but it always stucks at 99% of driver installation. Never installed any driver...
i have win8 pro 64bit

Moboro

BTW is it really necessery to install MoboMarket just to root the device???

I didn't use any of the Mobo*-applications, the only reason I installed it was the USB-driver.
I see that Alfred271 uses Moboro to install some apps on the tablet - I didn't do that. I only ran TPSparkyRoot.bat as outlined in my first link.
This is the google translated instructions i used (Note that they tested it on a different tablet than the A11 but they share chipset so I tried it).
"1 tablet is turned on
. shut down antivirus, 360 and other similar software download address: file name: TPSparkyRoot-4.1.1Root.7z
Tablet checked USB debugging, to allow the installation of third-party software
PC will be installing a pea pod-like functionality software, connect the USB installation drive
Directly run TPSparkyRoot.bat 6.
Note: In step six. Tablet restart three times, each time you restart Ends need to unlock boot into the desktop, press any key to come back to the computer terminal to the next step.
Test platform:
The original road N101 dual engine 2
Taipower A10 dual-core"

Thanks in advance

That's unlikely to work as the tablets doesn't share chipset or GPU.

Identify tablet
Hi,
I've bought a generic branded tablet, its make/model is "Hi-Level HLV-T1001W".
It is just like the Teclast A11, say, both of them are the same.
If it is not removed before you see, here is a link of product details: http://www.kare.com.tr/?cmd=UrunDetay&StokNo=28543
i think there is enough english words to understand the page, most of the descriptions are in universal english
I want to root this device. But I'm not sure which rooting procedure is appropriate for this device.
My questions:
How can I compare the firmwares of these devices, and sure they are same each other?
Can/should I use the files and procedure defined in this thread for rooting?
Thanks,

They do look very similar (apart from your tablet having bluetooth) but it's still hard to be sure it will work.
If you're thinking about rooting using the files I linked to I would recommend making sure it has a Rockchip RK3066 chipset.
I'd imagine that the Rockchip batch tool will correctly identify the chipset (and possibly the firmware) for you.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply.
It has a Rockchip RK3066 chipset as far as I know from the specifications.
I will give it a try after re-checking with some hardware tools.
So, what is the worst scenario if it is not suitable for my device? Brick it or something like a better case that I can recover it?

I have read about people that was able to restore their seemingly dead tablets through the Rockchip batch tool but I have (luckily) no experience in that department...

Thank you for your advices.
I think, "Rockchip batch tool" is the best starting point in my case. I found some tutorials on firmware update in other forums, I'll try them later. For now, I can go with it unrooted.

ROM
Hi,
Would any one recommend a good Custom ROM for my Teclast A11? I run on the stock ROM which worked fine till Sunday after which it crashed and i updated with a firmware which is not stable either.
Regards

hello guys, i downloaded the original firmware from:

I came across this post for rooting Rockchip 3066 tablets.
How to Root Teclast A10 Dual-core
The tool is all in Chinese but you don't need to read whats happening anyway. The tablet reboots itself twice. After the first reboot I had to hard reset.
These are the steps.
Install app on Windows (7Pro x64)
turn developer mode on device (Sumvision Cyclone Titan 9.7", Rockchip 3066, Mali400, Android 4.0.4)
plug the device in and wait for the tool to recognize it
click the button next to the only english word on the app 'ROOT'
wait a minute or two and the device reboots
i had to hard reset here
turn on device again
after a minute the tablet rebooted
walla, Rooted rockchip 3066 device.

I have managed to root my tablet (natpc x210) using this method but this is the way had to do it, to get my laptop win xp 32bit to see the tablet i had to install ADB Driver this is a setup file then I attached the laptop put the tablet in usb debug mode, then I started the software and it automatically sees the tablet, then just click root wait for it to finish and that is it rooted,
Worked a treat for me

[GUIDE]Yuntab P500 (M5000) Rooting Guide and ROM

NOTE: The rooting method may have the potential to BRICK the phone and will void your warranty, so do it at your own RISK. I am not responsible for any problems caused by this guide..
I recently bought a Yuntab P500 PDA Smartphone 5 inch Screen Android. Here are its main features:
CPU: Qualcomm MSM7227a 1.0GHz / Adreno 200 GPU.
Display: 5.0 inch Mulititouch screen, 800 x 480px.
OS: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Memory: 512MB RAM 8GB ROM.
Camera: Dual Cameras Back: 5MP, Front: 0.3MP.
Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, Bluetooth stereo (A2DP).
I am very pleased with the phone but still wanted to root it. However, I found it is very hard to root the phone because there is lacking of information of it on the Internet.
Its driver files are included on the phone internal rom with a folder called 'android4.0_usb_driver_32bit'. Once you connect the phone with USB Debugging enabled, you will see a new CD drive, double click it and copy the whole folder to your computer.
However, Its driver is not working on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop, so I had to try my XP one and it took a while to install all drivers. Then I followed this instruction to try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, I got the message to say the phone was rooted but it was not working at all.
Luckily, I found Karbonn A15 is similar to Yuntab P500, so followed ntstatic's instruction to have another try.
I followed the following steps to use Android Root Unlock, DON'T try anything else including A15 driver, it may BRICK your phone!
1. Enable USB Debugging - Under SETTINGS - DEVELOPER OPTIONS
2. Install the drivers for the phone - copy drivers from your phone internal card.
3. download "Android Root Unlock" from sourceforge.net and extract it to a folder on your harddisk
4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"
IMP NOTE : if you pc is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....
if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key
5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted
6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list
Thanks for that guide, now my phone has been rooted successfully.
I hope this will help people like me. Good luck.
I got the ROM from a Chinese guy. I haven't tried them yet, so flash them at your OWN RISK as well.
OTA Zip format: P500W-ota-1.0.623_20120908.zip

Thank you for all the work you've put into this project. Unfortunately for me, I am unable to root my Yuntab aka Cobalt SP500. When running the batch file, I received the following: failed, failed, failed after every Press Any Key to Continue message. Now, I am using Windows 7 under the 64-bit architecture. Is this possibly the reason?

Yes, to root Yuntab P500, you will have to use XP 32-bit.
have a p500, has dated rom post published here, such as making backup?
thanks
have yuntab p500 usb otg?
thanks for this, sadly this method doesn't works from me.
searching I found a alternative, I tell about a site that posted a solution that I tested on my p500 and worked:
http://isytec.net/manual-video-root-yuntab-p500/
the bad thing is that the root program that it puts appears to be chinesse.... the right button is "OK" and from program can configure if allows or deny (all in chinesse) but works well

hi,

Thanks but this is the same rom as linked in post 1. It is Android 4.0.4 ICS.
Another question: How can I install the Google Playstore on the phone. Playstore app is not installed in stockrom. Thanks.
ROOT & Playstore
Hi,
I have to add that I bought the Yuntab P500 on AliExpress for 70 USD. This is definetly the best low budget smartphone I ever had. The build quality is not like a Samsung's but it's OK. It has a big 5 inch screen :good: with a small viewing angle . It runs not bad with the 1 GHz single-core-CPU and 512 MB RAM . It has 8 GB ROM and the fast WCDMA :good:. The battery seems to be very good :victory:. I think it is not easy to find a device which is similar good for this price.
But unfortunately the Android 4.0.4 ICS system is not rooted and does not have Google Playstore installed .
Solution:
======
1. ROOT:
On the phone storage or in the firmware downloads (see the links in this thread) you find the Windows drivers in the folder "android4.0_usb_driver_32bit". These drivers work excellent on my Windows 7 32bit computer. Connecting the P500 with drivers installed it gives me 3 entries in the device manager (Android phone + Qualcomm COM-port + Qualcomm modem):

For rooting the P500 I tried the above mentioned "ICS Root Unlocker 1.0" and "RomasterSetup_3_2_8". But there was no success. But after that I was successfully rooting with "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
2. GOOGLE PLAYSTORE:
As the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" is already installed on the P500, I only downloaded a "MarketUpdater.apk" and a "Vending.apk" from the web. I put my "RootExplorer.apk" and the "MarketUpdater.apk" + "Vending.apk" to the internal storage. After installing RootExplorer I copied "MarketUpdater.apk" + "Vending.apk" into system/app and gave the same attributes to them just like the other apps have. After that I installed the "Vending.apk" and rebootet the P500. Playstore is working fine now - there was not any app that I could not find.
Have fun with this nice phone !
Summary to the P500: I you can root and install the playstore or if you have somebody to do this for you, this phone is a great deal for 70 USD. Earlier I had a 4-inch-phone with a Spreadtrum SC6820 SOC without WCDMA and a faked Android 4 for 50 USD, which was a bad Android phone. After that I had an 4-inch MTK6572 device without WCDMA and only 256RAM/512ROM and Android 4.2 for 60 USD which was better but to weak with RAM and ROM. And now I have the P500 for 70 USD. Here everything sticks together very fine to be a good smartphone which is worth each cent. So if you want a cheap phone and you see the P500 for this price, don't hesitate to buy.

Luckily, I found Karbonn A15 is similar to Yuntab P500, so followed ntstatic's instruction to have another try.
I followed the following steps to use Android Root Unlock, DON'T try anything else including A15 driver, it may BRICK your phone!

I recently got my YunTab P500, but the primary camera is not working. When starting any Camera-App I always get the commonly known "Can't connect to Camera"-Error. I think I tried nearly every solution one could imagine:
- do ota-update
- do bin update
- empty camera cache
- install alternate camera applications
- factory reset
- empty cache via factory recovery
- set permissions for the camera-app
- use JB-Camera and change cameras (though this worked: after restarting the camera app, I got the video-phone-camera)
So far nothing worked for me. I think the most simple solution would be, to send in the mobile and get my money back. Sadly the seller doesn't answer my support requests - I think he's gone.
I think asking here is my last chance to find someone to help me. Estimating this is no hardware-bug I think theres only one solution:
The installed kernel doesn't come with the proper instructions for the camera. This would be a proper explanation, if the Bin-Update doesn't come with the kernel image (which I dont know).
You, freegoat, mention not to use anything from a15/W719 roms. Did you try that or is it only a general suggestion? If you tried: What was the result? Because in the a15-Thread they've got boot.img (which as far as I know usually includes the kernel)...
Thank you for your help,

Hi,
I have to add that I bought the Yuntab P500 on AliExpress for 70 USD. This is definetly the best low budget smartphone I ever had. The build quality is not like a Samsung's but it's OK. It has a big 5 inch screen :good: with a small viewing angle . It runs not bad with the 1 GHz single-core-CPU and 512 MB RAM . It has 8 GB ROM and the fast WCDMA :good:. The battery seems to be very good :victory:. I think it is not easy to find a device which is similar good for this price.
But unfortunately the Android 4.0.4 ICS system is not rooted and does not have Google Playstore installed .
Solution:
======
1. ROOT:
On the phone storage or in the firmware downloads (see the links in this thread) you find the Windows drivers in the folder "android4.0_usb_driver_32bit". These drivers work excellent on my Windows 7 32bit computer. Connecting the P500 with drivers installed it gives me 3 entries in the device manager (Android phone + Qualcomm COM-port + Qualcomm modem):

[Confirmation] Samsung N7100 clone (Chinese version) rooted now

Actually i don't want to make this new thread but since i'm new here and can't do a reply to the original thread so i make this. I just want to make a confirmation for Bin4ry who owned this awesome thread "Root MANY ANDROID!" that his tool work on my n7100 clone phone. And i want to make some recap for i have done.
my phone spec is:
processor: Mtk6515
RAM: 512 MB
Android version: Android 4.1.2
my computer spec is:
Brand: Asus ee-pc 1215B
Processor: AMD C-60
OS: Windows 7 32 bit
what i have done is:
1- enabling usb debugging mode and unknown sources function (i'm not installing any adb drivers or something sound like that since the first time)
2- i plug in to my laptop, and my device recognized as "sanstar" but strangely it's reacognized with a name "My HTC" on device manager
3- Run cmd and go to the folder where i put the tools.
4- Type runme.bat and choose "1" but somehow it gaves me some error
5- So i watched Bin4ry video for one more time :highfive:
6- And then, i back to step 3 and type "stuff\adb devices" and wait...... not for long it tells me that my device already connected... YAY :fingers-crossed:
7- I did step 4 again...wait for the process and see if restore function already pop up on my android phone and yep, it's showing something ahehehe
8- Click "restore my data" button....my phone restart after that and tadaaa....there's "superuser" showing up :victory:
So thank you so much, Bin4ry
Hello,
I also have the same phone but I had no luck with this method. After searching for a long time, I found SRSRoot which allowed me to Root my phone. It was a tough fight but I now have a rooted Note II clone...

Rooting the ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 (ME173x)

Hi all,
yesterday I succeeded in rooting the new ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7.
Model-Number: ME173X
Android version: 4.2.1
Kernel version: 3.4.5
HD 7 Build: ME173X_WW_User_4.2.1.75146_20130523 release keys
PC operating system: Win.. XP
USB-Driver I used (but there's WdfCoInstaller.dll missing, which I already had on my PC):
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME172V/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20130415.zip
Maybe this more complete package would work, too (I didn't try that):
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip
Method to root is by using motochopper.
You can follow the next steps in general as described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40129120&postcount=1
One important thing:
motochopper didn't recognize my HD7 at once, so I did the following
(while being connected with PC via USB and motochopper waiting for device):
While USB debugging activated, go to USB settings an connect it as
integrated CD drive. motochopper will automatically recognize it
and continue with rooting process.
And last but not least:
As always, all you do is your own risk and I'm not responsible for any damage.
Good luck
-----------------------------
EDIT 2013-07-06:
Above procedure for rooting works with the new HD7 update, too (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 release-keys
-----------------------------
Description for Linux users:
- use motochopper package from link above
- login as root
- extract package
- open console and change to directory where you extracted the package
- chmod +x adb.linux
- chmod +x run.sh
- Check your HD7 will be recognized:
-> ./adb.linux status-window
-> shows "State: unknown"
-> connect HD7 (with usb debugging enabled, connecting as MTP device)
-> above started adb command should show now "State: device"
-> HD7 recognized - greatful, you're ready
-> press Strg-C to abort
- (optional) for more information about your HD7 you can enter: ./adb.linux devices -l
-> this should show something like: D6OKCXXXXXXX device usb:1-3 product:WW_memo model:ME173X device:ME173X
- ./run.sh
-> follow instructions on screen
- you're done
-----------------------------
EDIT 2013-07-16:
Above procedure for rooting works with new HD7 update (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.91525_20130711 release-keys
Thank you very much! I had it attached as a camera, worked fine as well. ^^

hi
it is possible to enable usb host with the root on the memo pad hd 7?
Memo Pad HD7
Thanks...
Have been looking for Root ever since I got one Device on Friday.
Root seems to be working fine.
By the way - Saturn Germany got stock now as well (blue and white back) - bought 3 more today.
The MircoSD is taking 32GB straight from my Galaxy Note 10.1 - the resolution is really cool and no errors or problems.
I personally can do no more than highly recommend the Tablet.
Change - just made a firmware update to 4.2.2 - root is gone...

Thanks for reporting that.
Do you mean that rooting is no more possible with 4.2.2 firmware?
Current version 4.2.1 is somewhat buggy. Launcher FC quite often. It would make sense to download 4.2.2 but it would be unusable for me without root

Well, I wouldn't say not possible. It's just that I couldn't manage to get it done de same way so far.
The 4.2.2 update is pretty neat. The tablet works more stable now. The home screen rotates and the display is much brighter.
Just some update features I discovered.
As of root I was hoping that someone would discover some different, more stable way - like CF-Autoroot on the Nexus 7.
I‘m a little busy at the moment.
Hope to have a look on 4.2.2 on weekend.

Does it show the Android version 4.2.2 in System information? Or is it still 4.2.1 (and it says ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 in build number)?
I have Android version 4.2.1 and build number mentioned above. And I got it rooted without any problems on Linux (the way it is described in OP).

Nothing special... The only trouble I had in the beginning was to get ADB responding properly. I have different versions of adb utilities on my PC. Other ones did not work, the one in motochopper package worked fine. I was using the original motochopper files. I had to use root rights (running script with sudo) to get it working. Might be that this is the showstopper for you
Full sequence should be something like this:
* Switch on developer mode (multiple clicks in about box on build number).
* Find developer options in the setup menu. Switch on USB debuging.
* Plug in the USB cable, try different USB modes (I think I made it using cd-rom mode, modes can be changed in storage settings under advanced "USB computer connection" menu from the top-right corner menu icon).
* Run the motochopper script with sudo.

Have you tried running adb.linux separately? Does it connect?
Run it first with "kill-server" argument and then "shell", for example.
If you get shell access then you should be able to root it. If not then there is something wrong in your pc setup or tab settings.
I assume it worked before you updated your HD7.
Hello everybody,
as promised I got some time to deal with the update.
In short, rooting with this update works, too (but you have to re-root after the update).
Build version after the update shows: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.2.51129_20130619 release-keys
I updated post #1 and put some additional information for linux users.
Regards
quaddler
My Memo HD7 arrived yesterday an it is great ! (amazon.de / germany)
Rooting procedure worked on Win 7 without installing new drivers very easy.
To turn on Developer Mode to switch USB debugging Mode on:
Build Number:
ME173X_WW_user_4.2.1.75146_20130532
Open “Settings”.
Scroll to the bottom and tap “About phone” or “About tablet”.
At the “About” screen, scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times.
You will see a “You are now a developer!” message pop up, then you know you have done it correctly.
Done!
You can now enable/disable it under “Settings” -> “Developer Options” -> “Debugging” ->” USB debugging”.
Then just run "run.bat" from motochopper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40129120&postcount=1) and
follow the instructions.
Sorry for offtopic but any info what's new in this update 4.2.2? I'm from Bulgaria and don't have update yet. l'm still with first version ME173X_WW_User_4.2.1.75146_20130523.

For drivers, connect your phone to windows PC, download PDANET (search for it on google) and let it install drivers for your phone.
Preface: TOOLS and THREADS TO BE USED
1. MTK Droid Root and Tools by xda senior member rua1. Press thanks in his thread! Compatible with Windows and Linux(with wine).
2. SP Flash Tool Credits to Khonshu of china.phonearena. I downloaded v3.1344. Here's an xda thread on what you can do with it: Click Me! Troubleshooting SP flash tools: .Click here!
3. Pdanet for Windows drivers
Chapter 1.0.0: HOW TO ENABLE PHONE MODES
Steps:
1.1.0 For MTP mode
1.2.0 For ADB mode
1. Go to Settings>About Phone
2. Click Build number about 6 times, quickly. Developer Options should now appear.
3. Go back to settings then click Developer Options. Here you find so many things you thought didnt exist
4. For now, we only check USB debugging. When a pop-up appears, just click "ok". Done!
1.3.0How to enter recovery mode: (Credits to phcorner.com O+8.52 thread)
Method 1:
1. Remove battery and reinsert.
2. Press Volume Up and power key simultaneously.
3. A blank screen with an android lying down and a red exclamation triangle should appear now.
4. Press Power button once, and the menu will appear.
5. To navigate, Power: Show/Hide options. Vol UP: Confirm. Vol Down: Scroll.
6. When done, reboot system to exit.
Method 2: When you're on a PC,
1. Connect Phone in USB debugging mode.
2. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder) and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
1.4.0 For Phone test mode
1. Press Volume Down and Power simultaneously.
2. Choose among the options.
3. When done, remove battery to exit.
(It seems like reinserting the battery and doing VolDown+Home combo does not do anything else)
1.5.0 For fastboot (aka bootloader) mode
Requirements: Since you want to use fastboot, then you must be on an adb configured computer
1. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder)
2.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Wait for the phone. Done!
Chapter 2.0.0: ROOTING
Why root?
There are many methods to rooting. I will list what I know might work. I'm 99.9% sure the first one works (given you are not stuck in a bootloop.)
2.1.0 Shuame ROOT GeniusDownload​Info: This is a one-click PC application. I have used this in Windows 7 32-bit and in lubuntu 13.10 and it works. If your phone is not an MT6572 I'd still recommend that you try this as it can root almost anything! It installs Kinguser as the superuser app.
2.1.1 Requirements for Windows PC: A Windows PC, a USB cable, your phone, and a fully downloaded shuame root genius. No drivers needed as shuame root genius already installs them for you.
2.1.2 Requirements For Linux PC users: A linux PC, a USB cable, your phone, a fully downloaded shuame root genius, WINE, and adb (I might be wrong here, but get this: Since drivers are not really used, we need our phone to be given adb permissions by linux, or else shuame will not be able to recognize your phone. So you will probably need to have adb installed first, just to be sure.)
For info on how to do that, check here: Click Me!
Also, shuame root genius does not display well under wine in my case, but the buttons were clickable anyway so it still works. From here, it's pretty much the same procedures.
2.1.3 Steps:
I made a visual guide here:
​
And in text, here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open Shuame Root Genius. It will connect to your phone automatically and install drivers for about 3-5 minutes. (No more driver installation on linux PCs)
6. Click "Root it". You should now see your device as rooted. And if you click back, you can unroot. Done!​
2.2.0ErootDownload/help thread​Info: Another tool by Chinese developers. I tried it on my lubuntu 13.10 WINE and it worked flawlessly! I'm pretty sure it'll work on a Windows PC as well. It installs superuser by clockworkmod.
2.2.1 Requirements: See 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
2.2.2 Steps:
Visual guide
Textual guide here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open eroot. It will connect to your phone automatically.
6. Click the root button. It's the only button anyway. When you have rooted successfully, you can click the 解除 button to unroot if you wish. Done!​
2.3.0 MTK Droid root and tools
Connect Phone in ADB and MTP mode.Download/Help thread can be found in Preface​Run MTK Droid Tools. Wait for it to recognize and establish a connection with your phone. This should appear after a minute:
Take note that a blue rectangle on the lower left means you're still not rooted. Press ROOT.
Wait for about three to five minutes. In my case, MTK Droid tools crashed So I didn't see a superuser app.
But I downloaded root checker and sure enough, my phone was rooted. Only the superuser app was missing.
I also opened MTK Droid tools again and saw a green rectangle (which means I am rooted :victory: )
So now, technically, you are rooted. But we still need a superuser app, so I downloaded a superuser app that I liked and updated the binary. I downloaded SuperSU by chainfire from the play store. Done!
or, you could try the superuser button in the root, backup, recovery tab. I didn't try it though

Chapter 3.0.0: RECOVERY STUFF
3.2.0 How to backup stock recovery
3.3.0 What is clockworkmod recovery?
3.4.0 What is carliv touch recovery?
UPDATE: I think O+ 8.31z was primarily sold for the Philippine Market; as such, I may be in competition with more Philippine based forums such as symbianize and gsmworldfive. Therefore, I think it would be best that I leave the two 8.31z links here and discontinue any plans on improving this thread. Here they are:
http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=1094034&page=10
^this link contains a SPFT flashable pre-rooted clean stock rom.
http://www.gsmworldfive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37787
^this link uses the SPFT method too, but the rom here has much more root apps installed already, like swapper, greenify, auto ram cleaner etc. (Oh, stock keyboard was also taken out).
Both confirmed working to bring back a bootlooped 8.31z. I prefer the first one though
Until next time! My dad plans to sell this phone soon so I guess I won't be learning how to make custom roms anytime soon yet... Hope you guys are doing well

UPDATE: Since my dad hasn't sold it yet, I'm playing with it again. There is a Filipino facebook group that is dedicated for 8.31z users. I think they have custom roms ported there.

Chapter 4.0.0: ADD INIT.D SUPPORT TO STOCK ROM
Check here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
I haven't personally tried any one yet. You are always proceeding at your own risk
Tweak for speed, battery life, and other cool/useful stuff.
Chapter 5.0.0: Speed
There are tons of stuff to speed up your phone, and they're not just limited to one specific phone. So bring in the list.
1. Use Greenify (find it in the play store)
Requirements: Root (optional for auto-hibernation. Highly Recommended.), Android 4.0+
You may greenify stuff like Guardian if you are not using it, or maybe the FB app too. Saves some battery and gives a little free ram for better multitasking.
2. Disable fancy window animations and transitions
Go to settings>developer options and disable the three animation options to animation off.
3. Use a cpu controller like No Frills CPU control (find it in the play store)
Controls how fast or slow you want your CPU to go. Default Governor is hotplug.
For a faster phone, set the governor to performance. It sets the CPU to scale to the max that you set. Use when you are playing heavy games.
For a battery saving phone, set the governor to powersave. It sets the CPU to scale to the min that you set. Use when you only plan to use really light apps.
For a balance between performance and battery save, it's probably best to go back to hotplug since it can turn the second core on or off depending on your usage.
4. Tweaks and Scripts
Info: Tweaks refers to build.prop tweaks. Scripts refer to init.d scripts. So this is a two-part thing. Adding build.prop tweaks, and running init.d scripts. Some do this two-part thing simultaneously in one flasher. Others, separate the tweak part from the script part. The reason they do this is because phones running from stock usually do not support init.d scripts, but only build.prop tweaks.
Our 8.31z cannot support init.d (yet) so for now we will only do the tweak part.
1. Tweak part of [ SCRIPT | TWEAK ] ◢ Project Fluid™ ◣ by Spex. [size="+1"]Recommended.[/size]
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Project Fluid has a separable tweak part. I didn't apply all as some are optional. So I just applied it and what happened?
Using Antutu X Benchmark
Before Project Fluid Tweak: 7334
After Project Fluid Tweak: [size="+1"]9264!!![/size]​I only selected some of the tweaks (i.e. I didn't use "unlock with volume rocker and other stuff like that) Here's what I added to my build.prop. Feel free to do the same.View attachment 2785183
How to:
1. Open ES explorer (I'm using latest version)
2. Copy the tweaks that you want to add to build prop. Find the tweaks in spex's post or copy my selected tweaks. And thank spex in his thread.
3. Press the menu button on your phone. Click tools. Click on for root explorer and grant root permissions.
4. Click root explorer. Click Mount R/W. Choose R/W for /system and click ok.
5. Navigate to /system and open build.prop with ES note editor. Press the menu button on your phone and click edit.
6. Now paste the tweaks into the build.prop file. Or type them manually
7. Reboot and enjoy!
2. Tweak of Dash-M Script and tweak by myaservip
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Dash-M has a tweak part and a script part too. If you want to try Dash-M Tweak, go to his myaservip's thread and download the zip, transfer to the root of your sdcard, go to recovery mode, and flash from there.But personally, Project Fluid's tweaks are more complete. I haven't tried Dash-M script since we haven't added init.d so stay tuned.​3. Script and Tweak of ★ [MOD] ◢ PurePerformances™X ◣ | Golden Edition | Scary performances on Android by Jeeko
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
This is a single inseparable script and tweak in one so we cannot use it yet. Stay tuned.​[size="+1"]General reminder: Tweaks and scripts are usually not mix-able. So remove one before trying another.[/size]
Chapter 6.0.0: Cool/Useful Stuff
1. Xposed Framework and Modules.
Our device can definitely benefit from Xposed modules! 4.2 is capable of running these.
2. TouchPal Keyboard
A good replacement to stock keyboard. Contains different keyboard layouts and support for tons of languages! And if you have experienced the keyboard not pressing the right button, this might be a better replacement.
3. Moreto come.
Hi there fellow Filipino! Please continue what you're doing. I can help you in some way in installing CWM-esque recovery tool for our phone. As it is a UBIFS-type system, many have said that it's a tricky job. A lot have failed but some did it successfully like me. I followed this tutorial from here
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-CWM-For-All-MTK-Easy-Magic-CWM-MT6575-MT6515-MT6577-MT6517-MT6589-MT6582-MT6592
Sorry I can't post links yet because this is a new account.
So I was able to boot into recovery, but I stopped there until someone successfully restore our phone from a backup (even if it's just stock ROM)
Cheers! You should try it!
PS. I tried your build.prop and benchmarked afterwards, only to get about 7100+. HOW DID YOU GET TO 9K?! Please indicate if you have a lot of apps and is greenify and that cpu tool the only apps you're using for speed?
After sometime though, my phone got slow, so I deleted the added lines in build.prop and speed went back on. What's happening?
Successfully enabled init.d! I used term-init. It was so easy! Just a matter of minutes. Now, to try some scripts...
Edit: Currently backing up using Carliv Touch Recovery, the MTK compatible CWM recovery tool, before going further. Will try restoring it later. If it is a success, then Chapter 3 is done!

Hi! I've been a little busy lately haha. I'll get back to updating this thread in a week or so
Are you new to this stuff? Or have you had previous experience before? Seems like you're going pretty well! I don't know much about this phone of ours yet, maybe you know more than I do
Update: So my O+ phone wasn't sold, and now I plan to use it. Just tested Carliv 2.4 using Yuweng's Auto Magic Installer, and it installed! Restore doesn't work though. And don't advance restore > restore system. You'll get a bootloop haha.
