Ok... so anyone up for rooting a chinese tablet? Got a Colortab-MID that according to the android system app is manufactured by WonderMedia and has an ARMv7 chip. PC at first recognized as Samsung S but after downloading android apk for 4.0.3 it connects with adb. Superoneclik said it was roted but somehow I cannot get superuser on. Went into the shell with adb and cannot change to su nor can I ask to "remount" the system as rw.
Any ideas?

Well I doubt its rooted then. Can you do a "adb remount"? Without any extra tags.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nope. Got a "remount failed: operation not permitted" error message
Installed from play store link2sd, superuser and root explorer. Of course root explorer does not mount rw so surely not rooted.
To append more information. I've already tried:
Unlock Root ver 3.0 - says failed to get shell root
DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su - basically says the same thing, it even asks if already root
Cube Root for ICS 4.0.3 - experimented for the heck of it with this script but no gain
185_root_script - Found that this is for GB apparently
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse - this version is apparently the latest but again no gain
It seems that all find that shell root cannot be obtained or that adb remount does not happen

Ok, got the 10" tablet rooted
So. After crawling around for about 3 days with google, and in XDA and flashmyandroid forums I found something that works with my chinese tablet. Bloody thing doesn´t let me put links so I´ll tell you what and how I found the needed file.
The file I used is named "Android_Root_1.0.zip" and I found it by plugging in "root" "tablet" and "generic" in XDA forum search. There is a forum by the name "[Q] Obtaining root on generic tablet" in which post #25 has a link for the file.
Just make sure of the following:
1) That the tablet is charged, has off-market apps allowed and USB debugging selected
2) When the tablet connects you use the USB drivers supplied in the Android SDK (I used ver 20.0.1). How to use such drivers is especially important for these "generic" tablets, just follow the instructions in other posts for changing the drivers. My tablet was recognized as a Samsung Galaxy S by Win7, which of course it is not.
3) Download, extract the archive and double click on the *.bat file
**Make sure you always wait for the tablet to reboot before pressing keys as instructed**
4) Voilá, if all goes well you should have a rooted tablet.
Information of use to all crawlers:
Manufacturer: WonderMedia
Country: China
Model: ColorTab-MID (10" screen)
Processor: ARMv7 rev(0)
Android: 4.0.3
Bought in Mexico from a SuperFin sale (similar to a cyberMonday in the USA)
P.s. now I'm going to try with my wife's... same mfgr but with a 7" screen. Need to check the processor though.
Hey guys, I just bought a new model of a 7inch Genesis Tablet. The model is GT-7240. Do you think the method that is used to root another 7inch model of same brand would work for my GT-7240 without bricking risks?
Thanks in advance! I'm really looking forward to having my tablet rooted.

The process I described for rooting my 10" generic chinese tablet I followed exactly for my wife's 7" tablet and it worked. I think my wife's is a wm8950 based tablet that is arm cortex a8 while mine is a wm8850 which is arm cortex a9. Mind, the ICS is somewhat different in each one but both "rooted" correctly without much fuss.

Ok here goes what I remember of how it goes. You need to be able to access the tablet from your computer and being that it is a chinese one that means that you will need the Android SDK because it has the USB driver. First off you need to go to java (at their website) and download and install the JDK (java development kit which you can find at www dot oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html). Once that installation is finished you need to download the Android SDK (you can find it at developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) which is in zip format. Unzip and take note of the folder. Navigate to that folder and double click on the SDK manager file. When the window opens make sure that all Android 4.0.3 boxes are selected (under Android 4.0.3 section) as well as the boxes from Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools Under tools section) and the Google USB driver (under extras). Once the software is downloaded and installed restart your pc (just to make sure that all is well).
On your tablet make sure that USB debugging is selected (under settings) and connect your tablet to the PC. Regardless of what happens you will need to change the drivers the PC uses to connect to those in what you downloaded. Go to control panel, hardware then hardware manager and look for the tablet... it either will have incorrectly assigned drivers (mine were Nexus S drivers) or it will have a ! meaning that no appropriate drivers were found. Right click on the assigned name and then click on update drivers. Follow prompts to update from disk and navigate to the USB folder you created under the Android SDK installation folder.
Once that is done then download the file I mentioned in the link above. It will come in a zip file so unzip and take note of the folder. Navigate to the folder and double click on the **.bat file. It might happen that you have a DOS error which says that it did not find ADB. You will have to add the ***\tools folder of the Android SDK installation folder to the system path in the environmental variables (if you don´t know how just follow the instructions in java.com/en/download/help/path.xml).
Be carefull to always wait for the tablet to restart and be "seen" by windows after each key press once you double clicked on the **.bat file. You can leave the Hardware Manager box open and keep on eye on the tablet appearing there.
So... were these pointers enough? LOL being a bit sarcastic. Have fun.
So here's how I did it:
Basically, with an Cortex A8 processor, the Maxell C8 tablet seems to be a slightly upgraded Allwinner A10, which is a bit cheaper than the Maxell tablet but then again Maxell really did package theirs nicely in terms of casing. But it's no secret - when you plug in the Maxell C8 with Windows 7 it shows clearly that it's a MID tablet. So essentially, my theory is that this method should work on all similar tablets such as Allwinner A13,A10 etc (although many of those come with preinstalled google play, as China, like me, doesn't give a **** about copyright). For reference, my tablet is running Android 4.0.4
Step 1. Root your tablet.
This took me a few times to figure out but this program called "Android Root Unlock" finally did it for me. You can get it from Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/
Enable USB debugging (settings > developer options > Usb debugging). Then just connect your tablet to your PC via USB, wait until Windows recognizes the device. It should read "MID" in the device manager screen. The unpack the zip file you downloaded above on your Windows machine and run "ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat" it while the tablet is still plugged into USB. A black terminal window will open, just follow the instructions from there. Your tablet will restart - that means it probably worked, don't close the program yet but follow what it says to the end until the terminal window closes. Now you can unplug your device.
Step 2. Install modded Google Play
Now you can go ahead and follow the instructions on xda-developers.com:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116
That's it! Google play now works like a charm and I can download stuff directly from Google Play without problems
Here's my full blog post: http://truthtech0.blogspot.com/2013/03/android-maxell-maxtab-c8-tablet-market.html
Thanks for your efforts, I'll give it a try. I was going to try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, but as you've confirmed it works, I'll use Android Root Unlock.
I think it's running Jelly Bean, it's my dads tablet. I'll see him tomorrow.

Anyone managed to install either a recovery image or a custom rom on the maxtab?
I've rooted mine but cannot get fastboot to work and unable to load a recovery image. Adb is working OK. Tried clockworkmod but device is unsupported.
gadget19, what happened to yours, why do you need to recover or use custom rom?

Hi, thank you for your guide.
Unfortunately i'm unable to complete it because when i connect the maxtab c8 to a windows 7 system it doesn't find the MID driver so the root bat doesn't find the device.
Do you have any hint in how to complete the procedure?
Thank you.

I used the samsung drivers and google naked universal drivers. Adb commands work with them but could never get fastboot cmds to work.

Thanks for the hint; I was able to execute the bat file but i still have some problems.
The procedure looks like complete but if I open Root Explorer and try to do some changes in \system\app it just tell me that it's in read only mode.
Tried root check pro and it's all red...
superuser installed
sbin/su: permission denied
system/bin/su: no file
system/xbin/su: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present. Root access is correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can grant root access!
system/xbin/sudo : no exsist
su binary not found or not operating correctly
Tried to run the su file in system/xbin/su as a script on the tablet and via adb without any changes. Checked a bit online but i'm a bit stucked since my other android device (lg p500) was much easier to root.
If you have any idea i't will be very helpful. Thank you.
Ok solved.
To easy root the maxtab c8 (android 4.1) i used the RK29 tab tolkit v1.3: easy and fast.
Now i have problem installing the play store...
I followed the guide but since i don't have any Vending.apk or phonesky.apk in system/app i just copied it without a backup, rebooted but nothing happened.
Need more testing.
Ok play store installed and working.
I didn't use the apk linked in the first post, i had to use this one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934441
The method is the same (copy in system/app, set the permission as rw-r--r-- and then reboot) just use the apk i linked.
Hope this help someone.:victory:
Hi all, what's the best drivers to use for the Maxtab C8

If it comes to that option I need to be able to use a rooting program on my computer that does not require internet the only internet I am able to use is the libraries. I have a laptop but no charger so my laptop is dead. I'm not a noon when it comes to rooting as I've mentioned I've done it before. Just need help finding a root for this tablet. I appreciate any help I get and thank you. If you need more info feel free to ask. I've also looked at the topic about the 4GB but its not that helpful is why I created my own topic.

how are you turning on usb debugging? I also have this tablet(purchased on black Friday from Walmart like everyone else) and mine doesn't seem to have that option anywhere. in fact, compared to the previous two android products I have, this device seems to lack ALOT of available functions. though I am capable of navigating a recovery menu at boot. but that doesn't do me any good for using pdanet. that seems to be my biggest road block. pdanet wont install because the onl;y way I can allow my device to connect to my pc with adp is using the adp updater in the recovery boot menu.

1: Install drivers. Seeing as RCA does not provide drivers, we had to find some that work. That's where PDANET comes in. Their drivers support a very wide range of Android devices. We are not installing it to tether. We just want the drivers it provides. So download PDANET, install, let it detect your device, install the drivers, and then afterwords you can uninstall it.
2: Enable Developer Options. Settings>About tablet> Tap Build Number a bunch of times till it's enabled.
3: Enable USB Debugging. Options>Developer Options>Click On (up top)>Then checkmark USB Debugging
That should clear up some of the confusion in this thread. How you root after step 3 is up to you. Personally, I did it with Kango. Which was straight forward. Connect device, hit a button, Say yes to a couple questions, reboot, presto done.

Thanks, that sorted things out.
To make clear, and aid in any other inquiries, I managed to find an ADP connection mode, among other android update features. with the device off, hold volume up while turning the device on. it should boot to an image of an android with an open chest panel and the words, "no command". if you push volume up again it will provide you with options and instructions on how to execute. you can manual update the device with an SDK through USB ADP mode this way. I'm not sure if that makes anything simpler or generates a work around but I hope it helps with future development for this device.
Well got root now we need a recovery...
For some reason when trying to make sure I can send adb commands to my tablet, I am showing no devices connected. I check in device manager and it shows up as Android ADB interface for the tablet.

Hello, I am a Junior member (on 1/19/14). I have a XOLO Intel mobile, XOLO X910. I decided to buy this particular mobile after a very long time of comparing it to every other mobile in all aspects. It has beat the smartest smartphones even in price, at the time I bought it cost me just 9000 INR, equivalent to $150. But then came the real problems. The support for XOLO mobiles, is not so responsive. I actually knew this before buying it. But, who doesn't want to call support, when they cant find the correct drivers, can't connect your adb, and can't move your apps to SD Card.
Well, so I tried for myself on how to do these. I'll try to address most of these issues here, to help my Intel Xolo friends. This post is exclusive for Xolo phones, with Inel processors. And for Windows users.
There are no good drivers for Xolo available.
Yes there are no drivers from Xolo available. When we try to find drivers in their website, we will be redirected to the Intel android drivers' page. So we do not have much choice. We have to use the driver from Intel. There are two versions of it. (1.1.4 and 1.1.5). They claim that 1.1.4 works on windows 7 and lower,; 1.1.5 works on windows 8, and windows 8.1 has no support.
But I am using 1.1.4 for windows 8.1 successfully. I don't who or what is wrong at Intel Inc. The thing I have to say to you for now is that, Download both of them, and try both of them. There is a very good chance, that one of them will work.
Even with the Intel drivers, and USB debugging enabled, adb doesn't work.
Yes it didn't work for me, and it won't be a surprise it if doesn't for any other owner of Xolo Intel mobile phone. I checked almost all mobile and android forums, xda too, but all I have is bits and peices about why it does, and doesn't work. Some guy in the facebook, commented on a root request post, that he was able to have his adb recognize his mobile.
The thing is for most of the Xolo Intel phones, the "adb devices" command comes up with an empty list of devices attached even when we connect the mobile.
Here is the solution, worked for me. I don't know if it works for you. But, this method of making your drivers to recognize your mobile does not harm or brick your mobile in any way. I actually tried checking for the solution in intel forum, and ended up me giving them, the solution.
http:// software. intel. com/ en-us/ forums/ topic/ 277352 (Remove spaces)
the method I am posting here is the exact copy as in the intel QA page.
1. Install 1.1.4 drivers.
2. Connect mobile, Open device manager, it shows "Android Phone" with exclamatory mark!
3.Right click and open properties.Go to Details tab. In "property" select hardware id's. Remember the VID and PID. Xolo's VID for mine is 1D91, and my PID is AABC.
4. Open the intel drivers folder in program files. and open the *.ini file, replace VID 8087 (this is for Orange San Diego, intel needs to change that) with your VID, and also your PID.
5. You need to save those files, with admin previliges its possible.
6. Now remove and connect Mobile. Go to device manager. You may or may not see any changes. Right click and click update. Select Browse from my computer, and then Let me pick, you'll have 3 options "ADB", "Bootloader", "Composite", choose according to your use. After the update is success, restart everything.
7. Now possibly the adb devices command may show "List of devices attached" with empty list. If it shows your mobile ID, no problem. If it does'nt, then go to, "C:\Users\user_name\.android" folder, create a file named "adb_usb.ini" and type and save "0x1D91" in that file. it is the VID in hex . If you have a different VID use it.
8. I believe you then will be able to use your mobile in debugging. I did. I hope you do too. If its a success, please contact me.
So, I believe in one way or another, with one driver or another, you have success, using "adb devices" showing your device.
And the final problem, root your mobile, and/or move apps to SD card.
I did not find any rooting procedures for Intel XOLO X910 on internet. I've found some for X900, which I thought woudn't for me. And another one in xda forums, for X500. This rooting procedure does not involve, unlocking bootloader, installing new custom recovery, or flashing a new rom.
What this method does is, it pushes the su file into /system/xbin/ of your mobile.
The program I used is called the Cydia Impactor, they claim on their page that they use, the Master key exploit of the android, so it will work on 99% of the mobiles, well I got lucky I rooted my mobile. You can download the software from their page( around 11MB).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKING. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
After downloading the software (assuming you adb works), just extract it,connect your mobile, open the Impactor executable, and click the start button. Done, the su is pushed into xbin. And voila, you are rooted.
But beware, this is x86 architecture, so if you try to install ARM only apps like busybox, chainfire 3D or some other cool ****, you may brick your mobile, (bootloop or bootanimation loop). Some have bricked them already, so do not do that. Atleast I suggest you don't.
How to move apps from Internal to External SD Card
In this category, I need some answers. Usually swapping, internal and external SD cards is a matter changing paths and labels in vold.fstab file. But unfortunately my mobile (IMO all intel mobiles) have three of those files. Named vold, voldeinternal and voldexternal, with the same extension fstab. I didn't try to edit any of them.
What I did try is "FolderMount". My main concern is about games larger than 1GB. So I place them on external SD Card and then mount them to either sdcard/android/data or sdcard/android/obb, so that I can play the game. I need suggestion for any improvements.
i have the solution to.internal memory problem
1. Download apex or nova launcher.
2. Go in widgets and add activities.
3. And in activities find "primary storage switch" select sd as default and thats it.
And thank u very much for root guide.......and can i install xposed tweaks and installer
And please join the group on facebook named xolo x910.!!!!
Kidding??

You are kidding me, right. I am the admin of your group. And the nova hack is new, i've known in for a couple of days.
Cwm recovery possible????
Not yet..

I am looking into that too, unfortunately I did not find any recovery that has compatibility with this mobile. And also recovery has no use for us until we have some ROM to flash. So until we find a ROM, recovery is obsolete (except for taking backup of our own). By the way the bootloader is pretty firmly locked.
We cannot install Xposed framework

Exposed framework is for ARM devices , doesn't support x86 architecture phone .
Aren't there any ROMS available for it?
And thanks rooting was successful.
And how can chain fire or ARM brick the phone?
Maybe, Congrats, IDK.!

ROM's are not available that are specifically designed for the given mobile, but there emulator ROM's from intel, and android-x86 Rom's available. They may or may not work, But to install them we need them signed and also a custom recovery, which is not available for the time being for x86. Even then we didnt yet unlock the bootloader.
Congrats on your rooting your mobile, may it give you bliss and god bless.
I dont know buddy, if the chainfire app can brick or not the phone, i said it may brick. And I said that coz some intel user did some kinda experiments and bricked (bootloop or soft brick) his mobile, I was just warning ya, but you're welcome to try it out and post the results. I just didnt want to risk it, that is all. And to the "WHY" part. As they are two different arch's they have compatibility issues with the code/app.
I have a Intel (K900) but it's hard to root.
You are really knowledgeable..

How will the emulator work..?
And how did you mount the internal sd with external sd??
Is there any way that when we connect our cell phone to the computer instead of showing portable device we see removable disks..
And there is a fault.. All the images in the gallery are displayed 2 times and the music also.. Copy is displayed which doesn't function.. I tried system reseting but it went in vain..
It happens with me too

What I do for the time being is I remove the ext. SD card, go to gallery and delete all the repeated images. But for the music it is hectic because. We can't choose multiple songs and delete them at. Once. We have to do it one by One which is very time Consuming. If you get resolved please let me know. I guess it happens when we connect it to. Our PC and delete. Something from the SD card.
ok
U r done by rooting ur phone kindly upload ur video on youtube so as we'll get a nice idea to root our x910 ur ideas r not working plzz uplaod
Something for you, better than nothing
I made a video of how to enable and access adb, not much but something's better than nothing right.

Hello all, thanks in advance for your help! I have a problem and am looking for some advice as I have tried everything I can think of.
I own this cruddy generic tablet which somehow became riddled with malware and I recently realised after a factory reset that the malware is actually pre-installed. I'm pretty sure I know what the offending applications are (one of them is even named 'popup' - well cheeky) but I am unable to remove or disable them, including through 3rd party software like AVG and Avast.
I think I need to root it so I can either get rid of the malware or install a custom rom. However all the root applications which I install on the tablet fail; when I get error messages they're usually to the effect that the tablet is not vulnerable to a given exploit. Most of the PC (Windows 10) applications I have installed have failed to recognise the tablet which suggests a problem with drivers.
I have tried these things:
- connected to the device (mass storage mode) and browsed the tablet successfully
- verified that debug mode is enabled
- installed generic google adb drivers
- uninstalled those and other drivers, then installed pda.net, allowed it to install drivers, connected successfully using pda, KingRoot etc still failed to connect.
There is one thing that sort of worked. OneClickRoot failed to connect initially (same as the others) but seemed to connect successfully when I selected the device manually (which I found by plugging in the build #).. However it's not possible to verify because it cost $40 which is probably just throwing good $ after bad and anyway I'm not willing to admit defeat yet!
Here is the spec:
Model #: Q90
9 inch
Allwinner A23 Dual Core
Android 4.2
8GB
Build #: phpq23083121891
Thanks again in advance for your help!
