[Q] E FUN Next2 (Nextbook2) Rooting?

Hey y'all.... just got the E FUN Next2 (Android 1.5 eReader) that doesn't even have the real Android Market on there. I'd like to just simply wipe it and put a vanilla install of Android 2.1 or 2.2 whichever is fine with me. However, I can't find anyone out there who's even tried to root this bloody thing. Y'all have any helpful hints or could even point me in the right direction? Here is are the specs for the eReader http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.asp?product_id=1
HELP ME, OBEWON! HELP ME!

Hey, i also just got one, I have been basically searching for the same thing you have with no luck.
I have asked at nextbookusa if they planned on having any sort of update for a newer version of droid and they said not anytime soon.
So i would like to find a way to install droid like you or im thinking of returning it for a dif one.

I second that request!
Got an E FUN Next2 as a gift and I can't leave well enough alone.
Android 1.5 just isn't cutting it! HELP!

Lets go people, thought you all would right on top of this...

I have a programming background and I'd be willing to help if I knew where to start at least.

No headway. Need help!
Ok, since this if my first Android device (received as a gift), I'm not going to give up on it! I've been reading, here on XDA and other forums, and found a ton of other information, but nothing seems to pretain to the Next2.
Found a bit of hope on a thread following the Next3 on androidtablets.net (I'm still a low level forum user, so not outside links yet.) Unfortunately, I tried running the generic root tool Universal Androot with no success (still no root access).
I'm also having trouble due to the fact that the pad has no PHYSICAL home, back, settings, etc buttons. It seems to negate a lot of the basic rooting applications out there.
I realize this tablet isn't the most amazing and spectacular device available, but it has some potential, and I'd like to see what it can do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The more and more I mess with this Next2 the more I figured I got what I paid for. The is a great unit for reading books and minor bs apps..Most of the apps will install but won't work...And most of the apps that are available are bs and have no use...lol This site is usually hot on new gadgets and help the common folk out...Please figure out how to turn this KIA into a Hyundai...lol

So you can root this with Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5. This gives you perm or temp root access. I haven't seen a rom for the device though. I really want to get rid off the the extra os junk.

has anybody had anyluck with the next2?

[Q] Captivate/Rooted Trouble with NES/ROMS

Hello. I have done all the research I think I can possibly do. I hate to ask away but here goes. Lets start by saying I am some what new to the concept of customizing my device. I started with an iPhone (i know) and decided I was ready to change to Android for more of an experience. I chose the Captivate because it fit my budget, specs were nice, and I've been with AT&T for ten years. I browsed the internet for a couple of weeks and brushed up on the terms, and concepts of rooting my device. I felt I had learned enough and rooted my phone. To tell the truth, being able to use an emulator to play old 8bit games on my phone sold me on the rooting idea. My root works great and I have all the apps I need to maintain it. I am still learning though and have hit a BUMP in the road. I can't get my games to "play". They load fine after being zipped, and look ready to go, but I'm getting no sound, and the "buttons" don't work. It shows the game, with options for 1 player or 2 players, but I am basically stuck. When I click on the screen it just vibrates. I am using the Nesoid emulator. DroidEmuROMget for my ROM (only thing out there I could find since ROMgrabber recently has been removed) and AndroZip to unzip. All this I can do from my phone. My main question out of this BOOK I just wrote is. Am I doing something wrong? Bad ROM? I want to learn what to do, and can't get the right info, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Newbie to Xoom tablet

Hey guys , i took the plunge and bought a WIFI only Xoom a little under a week ago and so far i really like it . though i did question the purchase after seeing the lack of apps in the market that scale to the xoom's 10 inch screen .
I have been reading around the forum and trying to decide if i want to unlock and root my xoom .
I love flashing kernels and such to my HTC Desire but I was wanting some input as to whats really out there for the xoom and is it worth doing .
I think the xoom is rather speedy as it is stock , so is the tiamat kernel really worth doing ?
also , reading around the net i see that the Google Movies addon (when it comes to wifi only xooms) will not work with rooted devices .
this is a big negative to me and the family as we justified the purchase of the xoom on a lot of features including the movies in the android market .
so , please chime in if you dont mind and let me know what you think about the above .

At the moment the main kernel available is Tiamat's, or some other variations on more or less his work. These are great kernels, but are mainly useful for overclocking. If you do not intend to do a lot of intensive gaming and are happy with your current speed on the Xoom, then overclocking really isn't a big need for you.
Considering your situation, if I were you I would leave my Xoom as it is, unrooted for now. That way you can get the Google Movies when they arrive as you stated that was a very important feature for you. If after a while you decide you are not getting as much value out of that feature as you expected, or if Google changes its policy, there will always be time to root your device later. Also by that time there may be more kernel options or Ice Cream Sandwich hacks to flash.
You are not closing any doors by not rooting/flashing right out of the box. I just can't see any compelling reason for you to root at this point....and a couple good reasons why you shouldn't for now. The Xoom is a great device and has more then enough to hold your attention without flashing.

I haven't rooted my Xoom, nor have I rented out any flix. The tiamat kernel (from my understanding) enables SD card and allows you to overclock.
I don't ever 'rent' any content, and I'm willing to wait for an update that will enable the SD card. You can watch your own movies just fine on the Xoom, and watch TV shows from the network television sites.
Android Market tablet apps are still too few, but that should change quickly this summer as many more Honeycomb tablets are released (of course, we thought that would have happened already with the release of the Acer and Asus tablets).

That was my main thing the sdcard not working and is what keeps me on the fence about xoom or galaxy tab 10.1. So does rooting it get the sdcard working fully with little to no bugs? Cause that may help me decide

Once I rooted and flashed the Tiamat kernel I have had no problems at all with the external SD card.

As long as you are willing to take responsibility for your actions if your brick or otherwise roast your device I dont' care what you do with it. If I may rant for 5 seconds I'm becomming increasingly irritated with people who are coming in here... breaking their Xoom's and then crying for advice and the advice being given is "take it back to the store and swap it out". No, that's called theft.
I think rooting is probably 100x safer than overclocking though which is where most of these people seem to get in trouble.
Other than that, welcome to the Xoom and I hope you enjoy it. I really love mine and could probably go on for half an hour about what I use it for.
Here is a quick and dirty list of apps that I find myself using daily:
- Pulse
- Paradise Island (lol)
- PocketCloud (paid ver)
Entertainment I find myself dabbling with almost daily:
- Pinball HD
- Riptide GP (both paid, very fun)
- Splashtop (for remote WoW, lol... also paid)
Other stuff I use daily but isnt downloaded apps include the browser obviously, I also use Firefox to access intranet sites (like sbs2003/sbs2008). I use the heck out the mail client. I also switch back and forth between the facebook app and using the page in the browser.
There are probably more tablet oriented apps than you think by now, as I find that new ones are coming out every day and some of them are really good.
If there's anything particular you think you'd like to know about just ask

No it doesnt. The possibility of data corruption exists. ASUS and Acer have implimented Kernel hacks to enable SD support. My personal vote is to wait for Google to properly impliment SD support and be satisfied with the more than ample 32GB of on board storage.

About the availability of apps with coinciding tablet release.... some developers just aren't in a position to go out and buy tablets I guess which is why I'm very happy to see Google give 5000 units away at their I/O even if someone of them went to dip**** bloggers.

What about that tiny little charging plug was looking at that and looks to be easily broken. Has anyone had a problem with it?

Is there any hope for rooting the Nextbook Premium 9?
I have a new Nextbook Premium 9, and it has been limited very tightly by Efun, and I cannot find where anyone that has posted on the Internet has managed to root it. The problem is the tight memory limitations (kills me having that much free space on the device and no access to it).
I have done all that I know to do: add a 32gb micro-sdcard, and used ADB to install some stubborn apks, and set the preferred target of installations and data to the sdcard. I moved everything over that can be moved (it has Android 2.3.1). I cannot fit the apps that I really need all at the same time. I can uninstall and reinstall from the backups on the card... a pain, and it limits its usefulness.
Not having Market is a pain, but I can live with that with help from Amazon and others. But it doesn't do me a lot of good as tightly locked down as it is. I have an Onda VX610W coming (if DHL ever decides to move it out of Hong Kong to me) with ICS already installed, but its too small for what I am using the NextbookP9 to do. I need the Nextbook for my presentations. It has the larger screen, and I just need it.
Please, is there anyone who can help me or who can point me in the right direction. I need help with this one. Thanks in advance.

Simular situation. A friend tried to root his with the 8p's root. While it worked the touchscreen doesnt work.
So how do I go about figuring out what driver I should compile and throw in the image?

I am still looking for a way to root the Nextbook Premium 9
The Nextbook Premium series are rebranded Kohotech Tablets, and I think I am about to dive into the nightmare of trying to get technical support from a Chinese company. Efun is 'less than' helpful, and the response I got to the request for help left me gritting my teeth. They are selling the new 10 inch Kohotech that carries Android 4 ICS. This is done before they fulfill their promise to upgrade the other Premiums to ICS. That would help, but not solve the memory problems.
I bought the Onda VX610W I mentioned, and even though the Nextbook has a superior resolution than the Onda and a camera, the Onda flies circles around it in performance. It came pre-rooted from the company I bought it from.
The Onda has ICS and the Nextbook Gingerbread, and the processor of the Onda is an Allwinner A10 (faster than I expected). The Onda came with 8gb internal memory (I have a 32gb micro-sdcard due here tomorrow), and the Nextbook came with 4gb and has an external 32gb sdcard. But the majority of the Nextbook's internal memory is untouched, with no way to move anything over to ROM without rooting. When you see the performance side by side, the difference kind of hurts when you consider what is in the Nextbook.
I think though, most of the operational difference has to do with the fact that the Nextbook is so walled up that it is difficult to access its memory and other parts of its hardware (having difficulties using its magnetometer). It just doesn't have enough memory to function well, and most of it just sits there idle.
I have a 32gb micro-sdcard in it, and have used the Android Debugger to have it default to moving a lot of the apps to the sdcard instead of internal memory when installed. It helps, but it is continually slowing or locking on operations that should not bottleneck it (doesn't matter if they are in internal memory or the external sdcard). I have to push the reset at least twice per day. What I am doing on it should give it no great grief, but it does. The Onda makes the problems with the Nextbook all the more obvious. The problem is that the screen on the Onda is going to finish making me blind I think. I need the Nextbook. I don't really want to have to consider this a wasted tablet.
I understand from other discussions that the Premium 9 is very brick-resistant. Its a good thing, because I am ready to experiment. If I just want to watch a movie, its okay... but if I try to really use it, it works about 1/4 of the time. It has good hardware, but it is just so walled up. Nooks are apparently easier to root than these.
If anyone can help, I would really, really appreciate it.

I have a rooted android running on the 9P ... just need touchscreen drivers for it

When you get it running... touchscreen and all, then please contact me again. I need the help. I have run into a glitch on the Onda and it is consuming my time right now... trying to avoid reflashing it, but it seems the best option. I can't keep my little hands off of things when they are working just fine it seems... always trying to find out what can work better. Its a life-long trend, and at this point it seems kind of useless to try and stop.
Anyway, whenever I find out why I have wifi connectivity and no network interface on the Onda, I am going to switch my focus back to the Nextbook. It is actually running better than it has run before because I unloaded a lot of nice apps to give it more breathing room. But it kind of sacrificed the purpose to which I got it. There is no balanced compromise with that one... I have to root it when it is possible, to free up memory and maybe to upgrade past Gingerbread. They are offering the new 10 inch tablet with ICS installed right now. I checked with Kohotech, and there is almost no difference in the Nextbook 9 and 10... even more alike than the 8 and 9, but ICS changes it a lot.
I have a device running 2.1, 2.3 and 4.0, and let me tell you... despite the obvious similarities of them all being Android, the 4.0 does some neat things the others just can't, and it is smoother.
Got to start with rooting the thing, though.
If you get the screen working, then I would like to hear more about it... thanks.
UPDATE: For some reason, the permissions on this page suddenly would not let me post a reply, which I really need to do. Finless on Freaktab.com has produced a working custom rooted rom for the NEXTBOOK PREMIUM 9. He also included the original stock rom in case of emergencies. I have not tried it, but according to others, it works. I just finished downloading the files and will try it tomorrow after a nap.
I request permission to post a new reply in this thread. If you will let me, I will post a link to the thread found on Freaktabs that has the solution. I will first try out the ROM myself though. I was about to sell this thing to a friend in frustration.
It has such a beautiful display, I think I'll keep it with the 1gb USER APP space and access to Google Play that he gave it. He said he could do more, but 1 gb will make the thing workable... especially since he got rid of the bloatware bogging it down. But there is hope for the Premium9 users now. I sent tech support at Nextbook an inquiry about upgrades to ICS as there was some real indication of an upgrade. They said no plans were in the works for upgrading the very bogged down unrooted Gingerbread ROM it comes with. GET THIS: they suggested that I buy one of their "new" series of tablets (like... 5 months after the Premiums hit the market) instead. Hey, just forget the $200 or so dollar investment and buy a newer one with ICS from us... also unrooted. No thank you. I have an Archos on the way and own an Onda. I don't think I want another unrooted bogged down tablet from Nextbook after just getting this one. Except for having 4gb instead of 8gb memory, the hardware in the thing is pretty sound. But it was the locked down rom that made it a misery to use. If it works out, I will post the results.

Certinally. Because this was passed to me I was responsible for returning a working device TODAY so I ended up buying a brand new one >.>

Any news regarding this Nextbook Premium 9 root + market? I will receive one this week but... it seems that I will regret having it...
It would be awsome if some dev put his hands on one...

I also own a Next9P and also would like option of rooting this device... Are there any devs. mildly interested in working on this... I have some limited funds if it would help.

Me too please....
Just tring to keep this topic alive as I would like to see developement on this platform myself. I got my hands one one of these lately.
I have managed to get a rom dump of the Nextbook Next9 NXM908HC
The romdump (done through adb) reported successful dump all exept config.gz where I wound up with 0 bytes. I read over there that the custom rom for the Next8p runs on the 9p but drivers are wrong for the digitizer on the 9p.
Here is a link for the dump on the Next9 NXM908HC if there are any takers for making a custom rom out of it.
http://isurf2.com/droidwork/next9/
A cyanogenmod7 version for it would be much appreciated, but I wont hold my breath.
--Brink

thanks for the dump. I will see what I can do over the next week.

If someone knows how to root...
If someone knew how to root this tablet maybe I could get a dump with the config.gz intact.

For those looking for rooted nextbook9
Head on over to freaktab.com. A fella that goes by Finless (administrator) AKA Bob has done us all a great service by putting together a rooted, debloated nextbook9 ROM.
I have tested it on my nextbook9 and found that it works.
BTW: When he says debloated he means it. This is positively the most stripped down ROM I have ever seen and I've been flashing custom builds since the windows mobile6 days.
If you found this information useful, don't forget to click the thanks button.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------
Inside the custom rom found on that page at freaktab.com look for app injector. This takes care of the too stripped down to be usefull. With that you can add the market (Play Store) gapps and the other apps that come with the stock rom.
--Brink

I tried the ROM from Freaktab and it worked great. My 9P is rooted, I have the full android market. The ROM utilizes more memory, boots faster, and seems to run apps faster. What more can you ask for?!
So go to the link posted by Brinkley... Oh and BTW, thanks Brinkley, I followed the link from your post and that is why my P9 is now rooted.
Cheers, TooSlow

the freaktab rom is ginger not ics is there a root/debloat rom for ics ?

I have the Nextbook P10SE. I just flashed a few different ROMS for it, including a JB rom. only problem is, inverted screen and touch.
which of course renders it useless. Finless rom has the touch correct, but the image is rotated 180 degrees.
the JB rom found here on XDA (look for Rockchip ROM) has the screen oriented correctly but the touch is rotated 180 degrees
sigh.

try kingo root, that software does root almost every device that i know of. i have been there with a device that is unknown or limited and you cant find any thing at all, thats why i start to build my own stuff. Try kingo root that would be first step and then cwm .

Hi Friends,
I Have one of these Tablets running ICS.
What i would prefer to have is 2.3 -- does anybody have any recommendations on how I to do this?? If there's any how-to guides please let me know.
What i would like to do is extract the factory image and archive then download the 2.3 rom to install. I will need to know where to download the 2.3 and the
required tools. Please... anything... there's not much info on this anywhere.
Thanks!

New Android 4.0.3 tablet. What's the performance?

but ther's too bugs. Galaxy fit 5670

the performance looks great .

Not great, you certainly get what you pay for ($129 @ NCIX when I grabbed it). The market is also locked down to somewhere not NA, so app availability is limited, moreso considering it posts as a "Unknown v700b".
It works well as a media station, 1080p content lagginess over HDMI is barely discernible. So I won't be using it to play any games, but it works alright for media/web access. ConnectBot doesn't exactly require much though, so YMMV.
The USB host is handy, MicroSD support up to 32G should be standard on all tablets IMO, lack of real camera isn't really that annoying for my usage.
Resolution is 800x480, so there's some interesting skewing when it's rotated in portrait mode, but nothing major.
Biggest issue I've seen thus far is an apparent lack of community support, but for a sub-par tablet from a company I haven't heard much of, that's not surprising.
I've tried a few of the RK29 root procedures out there, though without the firmware image it's proving more than a little difficult. I posted a thread on the Mediasonic (NA distributor?) forum about the availability of the ROM, and have followed up with an email to Envizen themselves without a response as of yet.
I'll post more info if I receive it, but would love to know if someone else has successfully rooted this little machine. Would be great to get the Synergy port working on it, not to mention all the other fun root-required apps.

Not great, you certainly get what you pay for ($129 @ NCIX when I grabbed it). The market is also locked down to somewhere not NA, so app availability is limited, moreso considering it posts as a "Unknown v700b".
It works well as a media station, 1080p content lagginess over HDMI is barely discernible. So I won't be using it to play any games, but it works alright for media/web access. ConnectBot doesn't exactly require much though, so YMMV.
The USB host is handy, MicroSD support up to 32G should be standard on all tablets IMO, lack of real camera isn't really that annoying for my usage.
Resolution is 800x480, so there's some interesting skewing when it's rotated in portrait mode, but nothing major.
Biggest issue I've seen thus far is an apparent lack of community support, but for a sub-par tablet from a company I haven't heard much of, that's not surprising.
I've tried a few of the RK29 root procedures out there, though without the firmware image it's proving more than a little difficult. I posted a thread on the Mediasonic (NA distributor?) forum about the availability of the ROM, and have followed up with an email to Envizen themselves without a response as of yet.

I have one, it lives in the underwear drawer. The 1 good thing is it comes rooted, stock. They have a website and suport, if you can call it that
. Glad I only paid $99. for it.

Could you please elaborate? This Envizen is my first Android anything but I've tried to run root-required applications and I get a not rooted error. And I read the very little there is in the three threads mentioning rooting, in which two try to expain with one more a rant against anyone not using a unix based home computer than doing any explaining and the other being less than informative -to me, at least. I did try to follow and perform what I could decipher but I use XP and Win7, not any version if unix (and I haven't worked with a unix based computer in years so am not even that familiar with commands any longer) and I was not successful in obtaining root. I installed the necessary command application to run root commands but again the error was I did not have root access/authority.
If you would, could you please explain as if I'd never heard of Unix, newbie level? More persons than myself would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance. -Michael
