Hello XDA,
I'm going to show you how I rooted my Hipstreet Flare and install Google Play (Working).
Before I start, I'd like to say I wanted to post this because there seems to be no one thread on the forums that shows how to accomplish this. Also to boot I'm running Windows 8 so it was an interesting challenge to get everything running.
About the device... like I saw out on the forums I'd like to say it's true the device comes to you pre-rooted (Sorta). I can't really explain it it's root but not anyways were going to fix that here.
Required prior to start:
ADB Drivers (Install WalkThough)
ADB Software (Search XDA)
SU-Busybox-Installer (Bottom Attached)
Google Play (Download Here)
List of things to do:
Install Windows ADB Drivers (Google ADB Drivers didn't/don't work.) I believe if you are runnign linux I think you can skip this and continue on...
Root the device using ADB with SU-Busybox-Installer
Download recent Google Play (3.10.14)
ADB Drivers
Install Samsung USB Drivers for Samsung i727 (Skyrocket ADB Drivers
Reboot (I had to when I first installed them long ago.)
Open Device Manager
Under "Other Devices" right click "Android"
Click "Update Driver"
Click Browse Computer, Click "Select from a List"/"Pick from a List"
Select the first on the list for "SAMSUNG Android ADB interface" under the "ADB Interface" category.
Install... any warning just say continue anyways.
Now use using adb run this command "adb devices" should be there. Make sure its working by the command "adb shell" you should get a "#" on the next line and if you type "ls" you should get a list of the root directory.
Thanks to iToasterman for this next part...
Extract SU-Busybox-Installer files to adb folder and run the following commands.
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/su
adb shell reboot
One reboot you are now rooted. Download Root explorer from the net and it will work. I used it to put google play in the system/app folder and it worked just fine but I'm going to show you how to do it with adb for simplicity.
Download google play from the link above.
Place file in adb folder, run the following command.
adb push com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk
adb shell reboot
Note: Because I upload the apk and moved it with root explorer I didn't run the chmod command and it still worked, shouldn't matter either way.
Just so you know if there is app you can't get download because of (capability issues) but the specs say it should work there are tweaks out there that can let you download still just search the XDA forums and you'll find it.
Thanks for this! A customer bought one of these, and it was a right ***** trying to install some (read most) specific apps from the worthless GetJar store which is included. had to root to shove in Play store
Rooted + Playstore installed but No apps is downloading from playstore
just stucks & says only downloading but downloading never starts
If the Samsung Skyrocket drivers aren't working for you the Moto G ones should work as well.

Okay, this was my first time trying to root my phone and it would figure that non of the automated methods worked for me. Still, I was able to get root on my US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize (SCH-i500 for the kids keeping track at home) and these are the steps that I took. I hope this helps others who may be scratching their head wondering what to do when the developers haven't gotten around to (read: forsaken) us.
The nice thing about this method is that it doesn't require Windows (though you still do download SuperOneClick).
NOTE: This is only for an officially updated Mesmerize. Rooting is unnecessary for the leaked version.
APOLOGY: I can't post any links to anything outside the forum as I am a newer member, so, sorry for not being able to post URLs.
1. Download the Android SDK from the Android developer website and install/unzip it. You may need to add the path to the adb tool (found under platform-tools for me) to your PATH variable.
2. Download the SuperOneClick tool and unzip it
3a. If you are using Windows, then make sure to install the drivers for your phone. I don't have Windows, so don't ask me which file to download. Sorry.
3b. Enable USB Debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debugging").
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable
5. Open a shell (or command prompt on Windows) and change directories to where you unzipped SuperOneClick
6. Run the following commands to copy files to your device
A. adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
B. adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
C. adb push su-v2 /sdcard/su
NOTE: A quick note of each of these files.
A. psneuter - an exploit to gain root access temporarily on your phone
B. busybox - a compilation of common unix commands to help you along the CLI world
C. su - the super-user command used to gain elevated privileges
7. Run the following command to get a command line interface to your device
adb shell
At this point, you should see a $ prompt indicating that you are on your phone.
From here, you will change directories to where you put the exploit, change the permissions so you can run it, copy over the files that we need to sustain root access, and finally, install the Superuser.apk app so that you can manage root access from the UI.
Execute the following commands:
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
Here, you will be disconnected from your device. This is normal. Just run "adb shell" again to get back in, though now, you will notice that the prompt has changed to a #. The following commands will reflect that.
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system
# cd /system/xbin
# cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
# cat /sdcard/su > su
# chmod 4755 busybox
# chmod 4755 su
# exit
Now, you will be back on your computer. Type the following to install the Superuser.apk app.
adb install Superuser.apk
That should do it! You now have root access. Go ahead and try to install Titanium Backup (requires root). You can also install a terminal app or anything else.
I hope this helps. Report your successes/failures in the comments.

This guide is successfully tested by me.
1. You need a 32 bit OS. (I have used 7 Pro x86).
2. Turn USB debugging ‘ON’ in settings of the tablet.
3. Download Superuser. Then extract the zip file to desktop :\ & you will see 2 folders as “System” and “Meta-INF”.
4. Download the drivers from here. Then connect the tablet & install the drivers using device manager.
5. Download SuperOneClick!. Extract the archive, go to the folder named ADB. Open an elevated command prompt there using this.
6. Continue with the following commands:
Code:
>adb root (you will see a message “adb is already running as a root”)
>adb devices (you should see your device number)
>adb shell (adb shell will run and daemon tool will also run) 7. Now restart the tablet & wait till the home screen appears. Now continue with the following commands:
Code:
>adb shell getprop ro.secure (output should be 0)
>adb shell mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/system /system
>adb push d:\system/bin/su /system/bin/
>adb push d:\system/bin/su /system/_install/bin/
>adb shell chmod 4777 /system/bin/su
>adb shell mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/system /system 8. Exit adb, disconnect the tab, restart it again.
9. Open the new Superuser app just once.
10. Download apks of BusyBox, Google Play & Titanium Backup (Google is your friend!!).
11. Install BusyBox first, then check the rooting status with Titanium Backup. After that, install Google Play.

There are two apps aimed at rooting Android devices: 'z4root' and 'superoneclick' but success with these is hit or miss. It's worth a shot

Hello kickhopperX
I also have a tablet aigopad m60 like you. this tablet is already rooter, you need just one application as ES Explorer which will allow you access to the tree (/).
I needed time to mount my sd card external sd card to the system.
One question: your tablet restarts all the time?
Good Day

[ROOT] [HOWTO] aigoPad M60 rooting script + generic su + generic usb driver
Hi.
I owned several aigoPad M60 bought from all over (to say it have slightly different ICS 4.0.3 revisions) and some I actually got them revisions by sending to service centre and flashed to a newer firmware.
Nevertheless, all of them can be rooted using this script (for Windows, 380 KB).
I actually rooted a Kindle Fire HD first using this script found on some chinese site (sorry I already forgot where I did so please pardon me for lack of credits). I cleaned up and englicised the whole thing, and updated the ADB tools to greater (and more compatible) version. Actually most ICS root scripts found everywhere are more or less the same.
So far, devices tested and succeded:
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD (ICS version)
- aigoPad M60 (ICS)
- Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100 & GT-I9100G) ICS and Jellybean (works on mine, both phones and both 4.0.3 and 4.1.2)
- Chinese Samsung Galaxy SIII clone (can't explain much since it's a bootleg, it has MTK board) (ICS)
- Several other chinese tablets which somehow lose it's root or not rooted (ICS): Momo.cn 3G, AMPE, MaPaN. Sorry didn't remember it's exact models anymore.
This script contains a batch file, ADB exe file and two API libraries, and a generic su found in chinese tablets. The su works up to certain level but it is preferred to replace that with SuperSU from chainfire (Superuser from chainsdd didn't work well on these ICS chinese tablets, for me. Not sure about koushik's). Just install and when it asks to replace binary, choose normal and tap yes.
You have to have installed USB driver first. I have uploaded the compatible USB ADB driver for most chinese phones and tablets (8.5 MB, have to be split into x32 and x64 since the forum doesn't allow 8MB+ attachments, if you're not sure, download both and merge the folders, overwriting duplicate files).
Note: The driver works on Windows XP, 7 and 8. On Win 7 and 8 you will have to disable driver signature verify in order to install. (Win 7: Boot, F8, Disable signature. Win 8: Setting, Change PC Settings, General, Advanced Startup, look for Disable signature)
Those who already have ADB and drivers installed, here it is (simplified form of the actual script):
Windows (no need admin for ADB, just for driver installation):
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb kill-server
Linux:
Same
Tip: If you want to, you don't have to download anything. Just copy+paste the script. But make sure you have su in current directory. You can get chainfire's su from SuperSU.apk (assets\supersu.arm.png, rename it to su).
Careful though, this copy+paste script lacks safety measures compared to the one in the archive, such as it doesn't check if the rooting is a success or not, but the script inside archive will prompt you first before wiping /data/local/tmp ...
Note: What I mean by the su works 'up to certain level' is, it doesn't accept command lines such as su -c command. Also you will have to replace it with a proper superuser app (SuperSU, Superuser) if you want to use Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher and so on...
i juz purchase one for my kids to play games and i google on how to root the aigopad m60, it took me here.
Many thanks for the guide, i succesfully root it.
eek:k so I have a Linsay F-7HD and it is giving me a fit trying to root it. This is a nice tablet with Google certifications and Google Play. A Cortex A-9 2.0 single core processor, 4G flash drive with 1.98G free, 512m, Android 4.1.1, micro sdcard to 64G. and usb host cable,ear phone plugs, usb cord and ac charger, very responsive,quick all for $99.00. I only want to root mainly to change vold.fstab, so as to switch internal and external. Also need to do a backup of Rom.
Problem is that it connects to usb, usb debugging is checked, can transfer files to or from device. I have SDK installed on C:, it works fine with all my other android devices but can not detect F-7HD in normal on mode. Recovery by pushing +volume and then power, gives me android down but can't get into any menu BUT ADB detects device and as being in recovery mode, I've tried adb push for superuser, su, and busybox. Busybox and su are there but not superuser. I tried chmod after is says all is transferred by abd push but comes back error. I also can't get into fastboot mode. I will list the abd commands below so maybe someone can give me a pointer or ANY help. I'm not good with adb but can usually Google and find commands that I need. I have the 3 files in my SDK platform tools folder and has worked before with any other device or files. I also can't get a adb shell or su to work, adb reboot only turns device off. Any help would be great. Thanks
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/su
adb shell reboot
Anyone have any ideas that I might could try.
Was hoping someone might have a suggestion.

Hi, I'm having trouble choosing the right section, anyway..
After more than a year i managed to correctly install ADB drivers, because before i installed Google driver, when i noticed i must install Motorola driver , the removing of previous one did not successful done, so the Motorola one did not installed well, by manually removing files it succeed.
But now another annoying not previewed issue, i need to exchange a file in /system/etc both in my tablet and my Motorola moto C tel. , it needs to remount system part. in r/w but to do this need to restart adb as root but with 'adb root' this is the answer:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
my system is 7.0, what can i do?
You can install a temporary root to run shell-commmands what require root-rights like mount in ADB:
Code:
adb devices
adb push <FULL-PATH-TO-SU-BINARY-ON-PC> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/su -c 'mount -o rw,remount,rw /system'"
I have two questions, i don't find any su command available in the net.
I don't understand how it is possible to have to do all these hard maneuvers with a debug tool, i think it might be simpler.. why there's a command remount or root if it doesn't work?
