Hi, everyone
I hope that I am in the right part for posting? I am new to this android thing.
I am trying to find a how to root idea usa 7" tablet from fry's for $77.00. Their is a lot of rooting programs but I have not been able to find anything on this model.
Also what would be a good rom to flash it with? I tried finding out if uberoid and cyanogenmod would work but I could not find any info on this model.
Not to sure what model I have that I would be able to flashing this rom with, either uberoid or CM7? Help
Model: MID, sv7206 v1.4, kernel 2.6.35.7-infotm
processor armv6 rev5,
hardware imapx200,
android 2.3.3,
brand infotmic,
display gri40,
release codename REL
bootloader unknown
I don't know if this is the right model IDea USA IUMID-0071 because the spec's are off. Http ://ideausa.us/produects.html but similar. I am looking for rom that is more update/modern. any potters?
Does anyone have the original rom for this or know how to make a backup this rom?
Well I am thinking that is might be this model but not to sure wm8650,SV7206 v1.4 or IDea USA IUMID-0071.
It's not flytouch
The screen is very slow on this model. Unless you use a pen then is works better.
Also hoping to be able to flash this to ics 4
Thanks
I just bought one, too. What a pos? it works but the screen is almost unusable, lots of mis-fires.
I did figure-out the real OEM web-page,
http://www.sinovideo.com.cn/Products/indexshow.asp?lang=EN&SortID=61&ID=85
This correctly identifies the installed 2.3 OS and reveals that it's some kind of 1 GHz processor. The real performance problem, however, is the 256 MB of memory, ouch!
I have not had any luck finding any updated ROMs. Actually, I suspect the installed ROM is tweaked to work around the defective screen (I think it's configured to ignore any 'touch' lasting less than 0.5 second?) so I'm not going to change it.

FYI - I found another site that has lots of discussion about the "M7206" tablet
http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?board=51.0
Here's some more info. (Yes, I have continued to investigate even though I bad-mouthed it )
- This tablet is also sold as the "infotmic m7206"
- the screen works MUCH better if you use a stylus
Currently, my tablet seems to be getting about 24 hr standby battery-life, and the battery-usage report says "Cell standby" is using 75%, even though there's no cell radio? Some of the discussion on the techknow forum seems to be about this same issue but all the solutions seem to involve rolling your own ROM, which I'm not prepared to do. For now I just plan on leaving the tablet plugged-in overnight.
Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Oh my, what a mess...
This post is in regards to the Idea USA Tablet (Unable to Root)
My specs:
- Idea USA Tablet (Made in China)
- Model Number: MID (Unknown)
- Android Version: 2.3
- Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
- Build Number: MID-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 (ENG)
Issues:
Whelp, I have tried the basics and I can't get this thing to root for anything. I was able to get it to hook into the PC through USB. There are 2 usb slots on the side of the tablet. I believe one is for HOST and the other usb is for OTG (Charging). Once I figured out the host port, then I had to download the drivers for this poorly made tablet...But, what drivers? You go to the Idea US website and you get no helpful information. So, there are no drivers made specifically for this $100 dollar generic tablet from FRY's. Ok... No big deal... So, I download the default "Android USB Drivers".
Peachy, it worked! Now, I can transfer files back and forth between the card(s). Wonderful, first step down, next step was to root. So, I read up on how to root with Super One Click.
Ok, so now, I set the tablet to "USB Storage" and "Host"...Then I download and run Super One Click.
Ok, I run the "Super One Click v.2.3.3"; by clicking the root button and then all I get is a frozen screen that reads:
Code:
Killing ADB Server.... Kill Server 0.11s
Starting ADB Server.... StartServer 4.09s * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully*
And then it just freezes the program. So, now I'm completely stuck. I mean I learned a great deal, that I can hook up a keyboard, mouse, etc to this thing, but, obviously Super One Click was not designed for these generic tablets. I have read other articles which have suggested that the .inf driver for the default "Android USB Drivers" needs to be edited for your specific tablet model and you must enter the specific CODE# for it to recognize for rooting with Super One Click... But, god forbid, I haven't found any useful information on where that might be. Also, someone suggested to install the Android SDK and edit those files along with the .inf files to make this work. But, that didn't work either. I did everything right. I turned off USB debugging and then I would wait for super one click to come up with waiting for device...but that never happened. I even tried it with USB debugging on... still nothing.
Has anyone created a generic batch program to root these types of devices? What am I doing wrong here?
Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Well, this took me all night to read and learn about how to root this basic tablet from Fry's.
First off, I tried many different things and it just didn't work. Using super one click is definitely out of the question for this particular tablet.
I read all night and thankfully found the forum article on how to solve this issue on xdadevelopers own forum.
As per quoted quotes below:
.....You can use gingerbreak to root this. Run it once and let it reboot, then use supermanager free from market to rename the su symlink from /bin/ to "old" or something, and reboot again.
You should now have root ........ It might take a couple of trys but it works.
You need to download supermanager from the market. Enable root in supermanager settings and click yes when superuser pops up.
Then use the file explorer within supermanager to navigate to the /bin/ directory and you will find a sysmlink called su
You need to rename this su symlink to old - completely take out the name su.
Just to be safe run gingerbreak again and then you can install busybox from market.

Thank you so much Pablo11. The idea is to download the APK for GingerBreak from online onto your IDEA USA tablet directly. The trick here is that the brand name is IDEA "USA", but the real workings behind the "MID" is "ViMicro". You will notice that displayed as you turn on your tablet. So, in order to find real information about your MID device, you have to search articles for vimicro.
Once you run gingerbreak, your tablet will go completely nuts. Nothing will run right. Things will break and it will be a complete mess. It will however, install superuser apk. However, it will not work. You can download the Root Checker from the market and you will notice it is NOT rooted. So...thanks to pablo11, you will want to download supermanager from the google play market. Install it.
Next go into the supermanager settings and click on ROOT. Make sure root is enabled and checked marked in the settings. When you enable root in the settings, it will prompt you with "allow root?" Click on Yes. This will give you the access you need.
But, your not done, once again as per Pablo11, go to the super managers file manager section. Get to the root directory by clicking up, and then find the folder "bin". Look for the file "SU" and rename this to "old".
Now, you will be able install busybox and any thing else thats root.
By the way, restart your tablet again, and I "personally" recommend that you go into your settings> Privacy> Check mark both (Backup my data and Automatic Restore) and then click on Factory data reset. Start the tablet from like it was brand new. Don't worry it will keep the root that you did intact. You will just have to re-register the tablet with your existing gmail that you originally used with that tablet.
Lastly, use the root checker from the market and you will see that it is successfully rooted.
Okay... Now, my next step. To crack open this tablet and put in a bigger SD Card as the 2G SDCARD is way too small, especially if you want to use new roms and install a linux operating system onto it....
Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!
I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!
I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)
I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...
I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.
sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

FileMate Clear T720
Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]
ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

Rooted With Kingo
I just bought one of these cheap to play with and used Kingo to root it. Worked first time, no problem. The only issue I am having is that the SuperSu binaries are failing to update but root is still working. Titanium is working and Root Explorer so I can debloat. Hope that helps is anyone is still trying to use these

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.
Hello All,
Looking for help rooting an APEX 7 inch tablet.
specs
1.2ghz A8 arm
4gb memory split between internal and internal sd
external sd slot
I downloaded and tried to root this tablet manually by downloading and pushing over the superuser.ap and su binary. Push worked ok with no errors and I am able to get su user access through adb shell. But when trying titanium back up or any other method to test root on the device it always fails. I have the following information from srs one click root.

[x] Device already have SU Root access, Rooting not needed.
Says it is rooted, I have root access through adb shell. gets toast notification that root has superuser access. just the device itself doesnt recognize root. I have tried unrooting and rooting again. and am now in the process of trying different versions of su binary and superuser.apk.
is there a way to fix this or can anyone recommend a already rooted rom that would be good for this tablet.
Having the same issue too, but I went a little deeper and found that the ttablet has a legacy such binary in its system. I tried updating it and the update fixer and neither work so I downloaded the such binary from androids.com and installed from recovery and still the same issue. I think there has to be a file that pairs it to the system so we can grant or deny access. I just bought 2of these so I'll try different root methods for 4.2.2 to see if I can get something k.
ok i found a full root... search for a phone root in the samsung galaxy s 3 mini thread. its for the sm-g730a root.( i have one of the phones and its a chinese root). when u root it by that way make sure you have super su already installed and click the chinese root first and allow supersu to gain root access then update the binary on supersu and voila you have a rooted apex 7in tablet. now time to debloat my system and hopefully someone will make a recovery and rom for this tablet

Rooted TM9S775
I managed to root my tablet with motochopper. It works and gives SU access, but it still won't allow installs to the external SD. Been spending all week trying to figure out different ways to expand the memory to no avail. =T
So I managed to alter the vold.fstab file to switch the external sd with the internal sd. Haven't really done much other than check the settings/storage tab. I'll try to do more with the tab to see if anything wrong comes up. If it's good then I'll probably post it somewhere on here.

First time rooting tablet
So I want to gain Root access to my Tmax 9HD, my skill is modding and rooting Samsung variation cell phones. I'm new to the tablet scene and would like some solid "Working" roots methods.
I am using the TM9S775 , running on Android version 4.1.1 I'm not looking for an upgrade just Root access so I can start modding it myself as I have my own preferred setup.
Any help for rooting would be greatly appreciated, I did see the above method, but won't try it until it becomes verified to work effectively.
I'm in the same boat, would like to root it, as it seems that Google updates cause the gapps and hangouts to stop uncontrollably after a week or two... But I haven't done much rooting other than Samsung or HTC phones.. I'm sure if we put all our minds together we can figure it out!

I have also rooted my Tmax 9 inch and am also looking for a custom ROM. Please, has anyone loaded a custom rom??? Really wanting to do this. Thanks.
BTW, used KingO root. Root was effortless. Have done a complete ADB Backup and rebooted to recovery using ADB reboot recovery with no problems. Would love to know if anyone has loaded a custom recovery and a custom ROM, especially a 4.4 based ROM. Was pretty impressed with the KingO root app. It loaded SuperSU and device showed root with rootchecker on first try. Very nice. The only thing I could not get to work in ADB was rebooting to bootloader.

They told me that the tablet isn't able to run any other OS than what they themselves put. Sounds like a bunch of crap, but I was reading that some tablets/phones aren't able to install ROMs that aren't digitally signed by the manufacturer. I tried a few custom ROMs for 4.1.1 that weren't meant for our tablet, just to see if i can even get mine un-bricked, but none of them were able to be installed.

Figured I'd put up this code here so maybe you guys can tinker with it. It's the vold.fstab edit I did. It swapped the SD cards so that external SD was reading as internal, but it wasn't sticking after reboot. I tried messing with build.prop to make it stick, but it bricked my tab =T

i have a strong feeling they wont be updating...much much less releasing source. either way i rooted the tablet by pushing root in sideload. also, through a few 3rd party mounts. by luck i would assume, i wouldnt trust how solid of a root it is. none the less. i have been adding our tablets name to similar MID tablets on the markets source 4.2.2 factory roms to see if i can hit a home run.....theory says thats it stays signed and just adding the tablets model to the list of acceptable models in the rom. would allow it to work seeing how they are ALL on AM3,4,5,6 technology anyway and i have the drivers and program to change the "TM9s775" inside the tablet itself. i have yet to turn up anything just yet. i am thinking a AM3 jig from another tablet to force boot a new boot loader. i have done similar jigs to samsung and lg products. i dont get on here much. im more active in gsm-forum under another account name. if i have a break though ill do my best to just PM those who need to know.

Try a few more, that's the only choice now unless you build a prerooted firmware or recovery for rooting
still not rooted..

Root Done, Solved
Gents, I just got this phone (Axon Mini, B2016, Totally English ROM) less than a month ago and managed to root it and to replace kingroot with SuperSU, perfect.
Can't find a custom recovery yet though, I looked everywhere, so no Xposed so far. But the Phone is pretty good after tweaking the governor and removing crap (touchpal keyboard and other stuff)
I had managed to root the phone once, but after playing with link2SD (I liked it to use to managed apps) it turned out that link2D destroyed and deleted the entire system/app folder, do not use this app on this phone, it doesn't suppert 64 bit either, it cannot even freeze apps at all. So......
I found the official ROM, and flashed it with the stock recovery......everything back to the beginning. I'm not sure where I found it, but I do have the file on the SD card and on my PC at home.
However I after 1 million attempts to root it again with every single "one click" root app, I gave up. I was away on holidays so I decided to wait til I was back home to try via PC.
Back home, once again I failed 258 times.....nearly giving up again.....than.....Eureka.....
Basically:
- Install PC king root on your COMPUTER as well as the phone driver (on my PC it installed automatically, no download needed)
- in dev options, debug on and bootloader unlocked.
- here is the magic trick.....when plugging to the PC choose "install driver option", and NOT "media device MTP" or any other option.
- Run the King root app and press ROOT.......done......finally.
If you got it right you should be very lucky and certainly relieved!!!!! what a pain!!! very little on the web.
Now, not being used with kingroot, I felt uncomfortable with it as I always had SuperSU.
but before the next step, I'd like to say that I found, in the end, Kingroot a more feature rich app. It had done so far a good job as a SU app, plus it gives you the option to turn ON/OF (safely) most of the app receivers, which can be used to stop undesirable apps to wake up the phone. I did not used the "purify" app though and I found I don't really need it, but it isn't a bad app either and looked very professional.
But if you still want to replace it with super SU, it is DEAD EASY, in 2 steps.
- google and download an app called SuperSU Me.apk (my version was 6.7(64), and the actual package name is darkslide.com.supersume), run it and that is done. Kingroot will disappear and super SU will be installed.....sooooo easy.
- now you can go to playstore and update superSU, it WILL install the binaries fine via NORMAL method. Reboot and smile.
Done, no recovery needed.
But now I would consider you THE MASTER if you can come up with a custom recovery (kernel 3.10.49) so I could try install Xposed.......I miss gravitybox sooo much.
Cheers

AXON MINI (B2016).....GUESS WHAT? XPOSED INSTALLED......up and running... gravity box works perfectly.....menu button on Nov bar and everything
amazing.
no recovery yet.
download flashfire....from chain fire, obviously!, exposed.zip.....sdk22 (arm 64bit)
tried once it went black and never back......volume + & power for 10 secs
then I tried again ticking "auto mount" option.
stuck on the the boot logo for far more than usual, ~3mins, then it run some command lines for while then the logo move ahead. reboot again and it seems the dalvik cache had been cleared.....updating 205 apps.. 10 minutes later...... done. simple but my heart was pumping hard!
please note I had super SU and not king root.
axon mini b2016, international ROM.
cheers.

i mean I did all that without a custom recovery.....stock one is still there but pretty useless so far other than for flashing stock ROM.
to make this phone simply perfect I still need a custom ROM to be able to backup my OS. but as long as I don't mess the system up....I already have all i need.

phone is now smooth like butter. no lag at all. it seems xposed actually made it faster on its own.
even the gallery,which was lagging a bit is just fine now.

sorry, one more. installed asus browser which is basically the old aosp browser.....chrome uninstalled (this ****, thanks goodness)
Hi everybody. I was trying to put this thread in development section, but I don't have enough permission.
I have a rooted Verizon Note 5 in hand (Retail Version). Somebody did it. Then I need to remove some stock apps in it. Like Mobile Hot Spot, VZ Navigation. I was trying to do this in a easy way. I got full access to system folder and put a SU command in xbin and I successfully run it in terminal, but when I run Titanium Backup. It says it can't run the su comman under xbin folder. Does any body knows why? Am I using a wrong su file for note 5 or I am not actually root it or what are the conditions can make Titanium Backup running.
Sorry, I don't know how to attach pictures here. I can only attach these link to google drive.

Where are you getting that? He had someone flash an engineering kernel on his device. Its real root, but it's real unobtainable for most users.
Yes right

I'm not even going to bother saying anything to the folks who come in here and the first thing they type/say is "Fake".. I would like to know where they got the idea that it was fake from to begin with?! I've seen it myself and already know it's not fake as do you but seriously where do they get this crap from?!

Lol relax. It's just a silly outdated phone. No use in posting root and not sharing anything. Had enough of that with the note 4 before permanent root was achieved

And you think that the dev who has it, is even going to want to share it with us when multiple people keep saying harsh/mean things towards him/her like you just did? When I think about being in the shoes of the dev that's getting his work/things called fake or whatever, I wouldn't want to share nothing then!! I'd just keep it to myself!

I just had a look over the Google document he posted. If he's Asian I have faith if he is the developer. If he isn't a developer then fake lol
So there is no root for the Verizon Note 5?

Not publically available. There seems to be an ENG kernel a couple people have their hands on, but nothing for everyone yet.

Did you ever get full root or console root? What commands did you run?
I believe this is a bunch of BS!
