[Q] I've tried everything to root my GT7+ to no avail. No clue what to try now.

I've gone through every guide I could find for rooting my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
I followed the guide in the official XDA thread, and I even followed this excellent guide posted by ShinTenKen here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841107&page=2 - But cannot get proper root access.
My GT currently has Clockwork Mod recover, ver. 6.0.0.8. This is the only version that will actually see my internal SD storage to run the zip files I've placed there.
I have the GT7+ root.zip file on my SD root, and I can access it through CWM, and everything appears to go well, but upon reboot, I fire up RootChecker and it says that I do not have root access.
I also tried to run Tegrak overclock and it also confirms that there is no root access.
Any help is appreciated!

Follow this guide..more easiest !

Thanks for the reply.
I have followed this guide.
Using the temp CWM, I am unable to browse the SD to launch root.zip.
If I use the current version of CWM that I have permanently on my tab (6.0.8.0) I can follow this guide, access root.zip on my SD and run it, but I still do not get root access. I don't even get errors. Everything looks good, but a check of my root status comes back negative.
Kinda crazy.

With stock ICS 4.0.4, load CWM.zip from recovery. This is the temporary, touch screen enabled CWM. meaning, you can drag the options up and down and tap to select.
select the root.zip to flash, then also flash the p62_cwmr_20111214.zip file.
that's the old 5.0.xx version of CWM. Flash the latest one later, after you have ensure proper root.
BTW, most cwm version point the "internal sd" as your sd card.
good luck.

Thanks for the awesome reply.
I'll give this a try shortly.
I've been through these steps before, and for some reason the touch-based CWM was unable to see the root file structure (only sees a "\clockworkmod" directory)
Would this still work if I placed the root.zip on the micro sd expansion card?

I'm rooted! Here's how:
- I followed your steps using the files you linked above.
- I ran into the same issue of not being able to see the zip files that I placed on the root of my SD card.
- Reconnected my SD storage to my PC and created a directory on the root, then placed root.zip, CWM.zip and the CWMR zip in that directory.
- Upon booting my tab into CWM again, I was able to see the new directory I created, and navigate to the root.zip to run it.
- After running root.zip, I rebooted and ran the Root Checker app (from the Play Store) and it verified that I have root access.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond on such a relatively old topic! If I could "Thank" you 100x I would.

Hi!
I'm using Prestigio 5000 duo and this method does not seem to work for me. Mostly the script remains in the infinite loop, sometimes it said it completed however there was a mount - no permission error and no rotting was done.
I also tried MTK tools without any luck. Is there any other way?
My version is: PAP5000DUO.V20130419.V1.0.10
Please help! I'd like to create a backup (install CWM) and fix the jumping wifi mac address bug. (apply custom mac address). Rooting is needed.
Thanks!

It seems like I have JB 4.1.1. and this one works for 4.0 only. I'm looking at this solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245259 ) but I haven't been brave enough to start it as I first tried to read back the recovery from the phone before flashing the new, it does not work (0% does not move). Also when I cat the proc/mtd file in abd shell it returns an empty list.

Now I was able to read back but cannot download the recovery: SP Flash Tool Error 8038. I have Prestigio PAP5000Duo.
I have MTK6577 scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt). Should I press upgrade instead of download? Will it work with only a single recovery file?
Thanks!

OK, I figured out it myself. The process did not work with the scatter file that was provided with the recovery image. Using MTKDroidTools it was two clicks to create one. (/prec/mtd was empty, that was a nogo).
Now it works. Unfortunately mac address changing does not work even with root. I get random every time. What a pity...

So did anyone finally found out how to root it without any problems? Could someone pls post a video tutorial on youtube? I need that RAM memory it's crashing too often, and battery is draind really fast and I have the phone for about 4 weeks only. And I'd like to update kernel and do other things with franco kernel updater. (Look on google play-costs few bucks).

What to do with PAP5000T? Need more RAM. It's always in red,need 200 mb RAM more.

[Tronsmart TS7 - MTK6582] ROOT / CMW Recovery / Stock Rom / Tips

Hi,
there are some different MTK Chipsets in the Tronsmart TS7.
If your device is a MTK6589 take a look at here
For the newer device based on MTK6582 i want to share my experience, mine is a 4GB version:
Root
- Activate USB debugging
- Download the Root Genius from here to your PC
- Start the 'root genius' and root the phone ...
- Install SuperSU
- Install a Filemanager with root permissions
- Move the KingUser.apk at /system/app/ to everywhere for backup or delete it
but don't deinstall the King User App
- Reboot phone
- Start SuperSU -> the SU Binary will get to update (method -> normal)
CWM Recovery
- Download the TS7_4G_CMW.rar from here
- Download the MTK Droid Tool 2.51 (or higher) & start it
- Click the root button -> permit the ADB Shell root access at SuperSU
- Go to 'root, Backup & recovery' -> activate 'To Use boot from phone'
- Click Button 'Recovery & Boot'
- Question "to make CWM recovery automatically ?" -> No
- Select the downloaded Gacier-TS7_130805__recovery_130815-142418.img
- Flash it & reboot to recovery
Remove the Google-Search-Bar from Homescreen
- Rename/Move/Delete these files, which are located in /system/app
QuickSearchBox.apk
QuickSearchBox.odex
Run Navigon Select (German D1 only)

I think does not longer needed, because I have ported online with MTK Droidtool own version 6.0.4.4. for my MT6582 phone

Updates in 1. Posting

thanks a lot, will try this as soon as i get my ts7.

Edit :
Update in 1st Post --> factory default Stock Rom available

I cant flash a new, custom rom, because is rar, and the cwm want zip, and the site is say too: "Copy the update.ZIP to tf card"
where is the zip?

Hi!
Here is a new rom and cwm in the "needrom" portal.

I have a big problem: i install a cwm recovery, its work fine, but i flash a wrong rom, (for mtk6589 ) and the phone in bootloop. Please, somebody send me an tronsmart ts7 4 gb mtk6582 cwm flashable rom, or an nandroid backup. Very big thanks! konigjanos @ gmail .com

Regarding the new update, what are the changes? Also, I have installed CWM. Is that file compatible with CWM?

update in 1st Posting

Thanks for the guide
However looking at the contents there appears to be a recovery folder. Would it be correct to say that if I were to flash this zip as it is, it will replace my current CWM recovery?
Also, has anyone actually installed the update? Any changes noticed so far?
Sent from my TS7 using xda app-developers app

i have a question regarding the 3g frequencies of the phone:
it says that it supports the 850 wcdma frequency, however someone i spoke to told me that he checked and the phone doesn't support 850, but 900 wcdma instead. can anybody here check it and see if they get the same result?
thanks.

So I managed to put together a update.zip somehow and managed to update the phone. Disappointing thing is I don't see much changes, the phone is still as sluggish as ever. Also, I lost root, and Root Genius can't get back root, so I have restored my CWM backup.
This phone really needs 4.4 Kitkat stat!

The Rom has no upgrade ... because our Tronsmart TS7 this date with the latest version [G820_C1_F1_Tronsmart_V0.2_20131127]
The flash ROM is only necessary to leave the phone to factory settings and remove the ROOT
you should try the VROOT, with this method you do not have to delete the system APK's
Only download and ready SuperSU the application of the Play Store
the procedure in the Post in Spanish of [HTCMania]
The administrator of this post should update the 1st post and add a second method ROOT
EDIT:
In the post HTCMania, is the link of the Rom already signed!
Ready to flash with CWM
I can not post links because I'm new to XDA

There is no custom rom for SM-T231... But you can root it to customise it like lollipop. And Whatsapp don't need root access. Your daughter can use it without rooting the tab.

In settings > security, enable installation from unknown sources. Download the apk file from apkmirror to your tablet. Open the apk file with a file explorer, install

Did you try Whatsapp in other devices ?
You can get 'application not compitable' error for three ressons :
1. Some apps are marked as only being compatible with certain phones or tablets. However, they may run just fine on unsupported devices.
2. Some apps are only allowed to be installed in certain countries.
3. All apps have a minimum version of Android they require.
I think your problem is either No. 1 or No. 2 .
For Problem No. 1, you can download & install Merket Helper app. This app needs root permission. This can chenge the device model Name. Replace the name with a supported device. Know more about Merket Helper App here .
For problem No. 2, Download the .APK file of Whatsapp from here and install it.

Thank you guys for the update. I love the new TWRP. Works well on the SM-T230NU.
Huge thanks to @reas0n and @BRoy_98
I made a flashable zip for those that are interested. - just reboot to recovery > flash zip > reboot recovery (to check out the new TWRP) > reboot system

[TUT][ROOT+CWM+GAPPS]InFocus M512 Root, CWM and GApps tutorial.

So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.

First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.

I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.
