Rooting Android TV box
I think the TV boxes are already rooted. They are just like an Android tablet, minus the screen.
You just need to install superuser app and the file manager app (eg Total Commander) to enable you to change file permissions. Of course, it will help a lot if you connect up to a screen, keyboard and mouse.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Root procedure for Superpad V10 8GB using z4root?

I've seen a couple of videos on youtube about doing a root on these pads. I have 1 coming during the week, here is some of the technical spec for it...
Real Android 2.3 system, Flytouch 3 upgrade version
CPU VC882 Embedded 800MHz~1GHz ARM Cortex A8 32-bit processor core
I'm not sure of the exact make.
Is it really as simple as it seems on the youtube videos i.e install LauncherPro and select USB debugging option, then installing z4root, and that will be the device rooted?
Also, I downloaded the z4root.apk file on to my pc, but would I be better just downloading the .apk file straight on to the tablet via the browser rather than trying to transfer it from my pc?
Also, once installed, is it possible to upgrade the OS from 2.3 to a later version?
Sorry for the basic noobish questions, and thanks for any help you can give :good:

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
Sent from my Colortab-MID using xda app-developers app
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.

Starting to think I have made the wrong choice buying one of these, no matter how hard I search I cannot find any Infomation on how to root this.
It is a great tablet but just can't root it
OK I have managed to root it this is how I did it
I came across this post for rooting Rockchip 3066 tablets.
How to Root Teclast A10 Dual-core
The tool is all in Chinese but you don't need to read whats happening anyway. The tablet reboots itself twice. After the first reboot I had to hard reset.
These are the steps.
Install app on Windows (7Pro x64)
turn developer mode on device (Sumvision Cyclone Titan 9.7", Rockchip 3066, Mali400, Android 4.0.4)
plug the device in and wait for the tool to recognize it
click the button next to the only english word on the app 'ROOT'
wait a minute or two and the device reboots
i had to hard reset here
turn on device again
after a minute the tablet rebooted
walla, Rooted rockchip 3066 device.

I have managed to root my tablet (natpc x210) using this method but this is the way had to do it, to get my laptop win xp 32bit to see the tablet i had to install ADB Driver this is a setup file then I attached the laptop put the tablet in usb debug mode, then I started the software and it automatically sees the tablet, then just click root wait for it to finish and that is it rooted,
Worked a treat for me
Fermec
OK now I have managed to root the natpc x210, I would like to edit the build prop to make it think it is a Samsung Galaxy or Nexus 7 to give me more options from the market.
I have done a lot of searching but still not sure what to edit as I don't want to brick the tablet, I have installed build prop editor but could someone please tell what to change in the build prop.
Cheers
Fermec

Now you understand my urge of desperate help , I've even tried universal root ( where you need Ubuntu) but that didn't seem to work as well.. Is it possible to dump my rom without it having root access and send it to someone here on XDA to root it? Help would really be appreciated.

Good day Vrah2.
It has been a while since your first post, but I thought it to be worthwhile to tell you what has worked for me. It seems I have the exact same tablet as you, and I am also trying to increase the Internal Storage size.
The answer I found on this thread: [Q] Root + recovery Acer Iconia Tab 7 A1-713 after determining that both these tablets use the Mediatek MTK8382 processors /SOC. The answer given there, is to use KingRoot which I see you said you tried. The version I installed is KingRoot V4.5.0.901 that I got from androidxda.
Just a note that it initially didn't work as it displayed a message about not bring rooted. However there is a button somewhere along the process, something like "Try to get root". This is a bit vague but unfortunately I didn't not pay enough attention as I didn't think it would really work. Good luck, and if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Hello vrah2,
If you haven't found a solution yet for your root process, I'm here to help you but then I'm gonna need a backed up rom of your device, because my tablet is bricked and only an original rom can save it.
Thank you in advance!

[Completed] Help me break my Q90 9 inch Allwinner A23 Dual Core rubbish tablet

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!
