Please Note: Whatever you are doing here is at your own risk.. Having said that, if you still blame me for spoiling the broth, well, I am not the COOK then.. So read properly and stop being noob..
So, we start.....
This Guide is for Windows.. Follow each step properly before asking questions..
Step 1: Setting up Drivers for Ubislate:
1. You need to install Android sdk from here and JAVA from here. Without java, sdk might show errors. So install JAVA and then SDK. I won't tell you how to install these.. Search..
2. This step onwards the real game starts.. once you install sdk, open sdk manager and install the necessary tools like sdk platform tools..Most important of it is installing google usb drivers from the list of options.. You will see this type of list :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Choose sdk tools, sdk platform tools and google usb drivers from the list and click on Install Packages..
3. Once that is done, go to sdk folder and then to platform tools. Keep pressing the shift key and right click and select 'Open command window here'. Type 'adb' in small. If you see a list of options coming, you are good to go and sdk is installed.
4. Go to sdk folder again and in that go to extras/google/usb_driver. Replace the android_winusb file with the one provided below of this post. Just copy paste and replace.
5. Connect your Ubislate tab to pc and go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Device and Printers/Device Manager.Go to other devices in the list and You will see an exclamation mark on your device named Android.
6. Right click on it and click on Update driver software.
7. Select Browse my computer for update driver and then click on Let me pick up from a list of device drivers.
8. From Common hardware types select Android Device and then click on Have Disk
9. An Install from disk dialog box appears. Click on browse and go to sdk folder where you have copied the android_winusb file i.e extras/google/usb_driver. Select android_winsub and click on OPEN. A list of drivers will now open
10. Click on Android ADB Interface and then click on next. Done!! You now have ADB access for your Aakash tab. To check, go to sdk folder/platform-tools and open command window and type adb devices. You will see your device in List of devices attached with some number and device written besides it.
Please Note: The drivers will not get installed on Windows 8 untill you disable DIGITAL DEVICES DRIVER ENFORCEMENT.. Search on google on how to disable it.. Its damm easy..
If you are done with this only then move ahead......

Step2:Installing CWM Recovery and Rooting:
1. I have made a fully working recovery for Ubislate tabs which works very well without any problems and detects the internal sd card without issues. Follow this guide here and install recovery on your aakash tab.
2. To reboot to recovery, press and hold VOL + key and Power key till the tablet boots into recovery or else there is a bat file in the zip file provided in the above link, run it and your tab will automatically boot into recovery.
3. Download Superuser.zip provided below and copy it to your internal sd card.
4. Boot to recovery and click on Install zip from sd card>choose zip from internal sd card. Navigate to the folder where you have placed the Superuser.zip and install it.
5. Reboot and you are finally done.. You now have a rooted Aakash tab with a CWM Recovery installed and proper ADB Drivers
I recommend all users to make a NANDROID BACKUP before making any changes into system as I Haven't found any Perfectly working ROM for AAKASH TAB.. Go Ahead and Enjoy

This has perfectly worked on my Ubislate 7ci and should work on other versions of Aakash Tab too. Though test it and let me know as I haven't tested it on other tabs.

ADB Driver
Does anyone have an ADB driver that works for this tablet (UbiSlate 7ci)? I've downloaded the one from Android SDK numerous times as well as a few others. None have worked so far.
I'm not a total noob as I've rooted my S3, two Nexus 7's, a Droid 4, a Droid 2, a DINC as well as a KFHD.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
Update:
Problem solved... I used this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach..._AOSP_Rk29sdk_Android_4.0.3-7inch-Tablet.pdf; specifically step 11 &19 to get ADB working.
Now I just need to root this device. The box shows that it's an A9 chip so hopefully this still works, also it was delivered running Android 4.2.2

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can help me.
I followed your guide for my Ubislate 7Ci. I used the Recovery install guide from here and rebooted into Recovery using the batch file included in the zip. Now I'm stuck in Recovery and can't do anything. I get an error message saying
E: Can't mount .....(insert ~4 file paths here)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when CMW boots or if I try to manually mount something. If I choose "Reboot system now" I end up back in CMW.
Any ideas as to what I can do?

Keep in mind, no matter what, you always have to take backup before doing anything with your phone if you aren't sure about what will happen. And this becomes must when playing with devices which don't have many stuff available related to it.. Next time do consider this. because being an owner of such a great Tab( sarcasm intended), you need to be sure about alllll this.

omap4boot for P940 (Prada 3.0)
This is a modified version of the omap4boot work done by wkpark (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971014).
This version is designed especially for the P940 to allow fastboot access. A (signed) Clockworkmod recovery is included. This allows you to easily root the device from the recovery and/or flash custom roms.
No need for installing any LG driver/tool crap for rooting.
Furthermore this version works for both Windows and Linux (drivers for Windows included).
Download builds
How this works
Download and extract omap4boot-for_prada.tar.gz
(Windows only) Pull the battery and attach an usb cable to your device. In device manager an OMAP4430 device will show up briefly. Hurry up and right-click > update driver software and install the drivers from the usb_drv_windows directory included in the archive.
Execute start_fastboot.bat (Windows) or start_fastboot.sh (Linux)
Follow the instructions shown.
(optional) Boot into recovery by holding CAMERA + VOLUME DOWN + POWER and do stuff: root your installed rom via a special update.zip tailored for the p940 (http://milaq.net/downloads/android/p940/p940_root_stock_su3.1.3.zip), install a custom rom, etc.
Celebrate
CAUTION: Use this with care! Don't do anything else in fastboot, except you know what you are doing. With this your device is practically unbrickable but you can erase partitions the device needs to work properly. You have been warned.
And as always: I take no responsibility whatsoever for raging, screaming, crying, frustration, failing, confusion, dead kittens, etc.

yes, that's normal. you have to be very quick. but once they're installed there is no need to do it again.

Hi, I have a bit of trouble with P940, could you please help me XDA?
I can connect when I start-fastboot.bat, however when I choose that I want to install custom recovery, the script hangs on waiting for device.
Prada shows fastboot v 0.5. I tried all the circusy things with drivers, now I am using fresh WIN7x64 install and with cables. Any help? (I have fresh V20D, but also ADB is not working - it stops on device (num) offline.)
you probably need to install fastboot drivers. use the generic ones from the android-sdk.
if you are booted into fastboot and are connected via usb your device should show up in the device manager as "lg p2 device" or such

after 42 reboot it cought up and installed recovery! Thanks a lot. Now just realize root through cwm...
Maybe a stupid question. Can I use this way to root an stock 4.04 p940 and have then root rights and cwm? And is cwm then always accessible via the phone key combination on the phone to flash your custom roms, make nandroids...
I'm familiar with S1 and S2 but the P940 sounds always way more complicated for me and it is my daughters phone. She will kill me if I would damage it Actually she has often trouble with no network and with SMS so I thought this wat to root and got cwm + using milaq's 10.1 ROM could be a good solution. I also need to know if the Prada look and feel will stay in 10.1 then.

yip, this will enable you to flash an - already included - recovery. you can then root the installed stock rom via the generic superuser package quoted in OP or flash custom roms, etc.

if you keep to the description and only flash the recovery and leave all other partitions alone, you are safe to do so. but be sure you have read everyting in the OP and are aware of any potential risk, although the p940 is practically unbrickable (if you dont do anything real fuzzy).

better off in the respective thread but nevertheless: you wont have the prada ui but stock aosp resp. cm flavour. but you can use the inbuilt theme function to make it look like the prada ui (black/white).

Dear Milaq,
After backed-up and restore, I saw clockworkmod work incorrect, because Prada has 2 partition involve system
_for mounting at /system
_for moutong at /system/app
Clockworkmod defaut mount 1 partition at /system, it doesnt mount partition at /system/app. So, backup will not work properly when I restore.
Please fix it

wrong thread and already discussed.
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859662
Just a tip I forget to share. While flashing on win7 64bit I stuck in the fast boot screen. As solution I open the device manager again and let the device reload the driver. Once this was done the process immediately continue until the end with no more problems.

Installed stock ICS V20D, then CWM via fastboot with no problems but rooting (installing a flashable zip with su, busybox and superuser.apk) does not seem to work...
Looks like a custom bootloader might be needed....
Therefore the walhalla method included some patched bin (a piece of ROM)
because lg decided to have a system2 partition mounted to /system/app.
su package installed just fine but the superuser.apk doesnt get used because of the mounts. try "su" in a shell and you will see that rooting went just fine. you can then manually push superuser.apk to /system/app

Does manually mean copy/paste with root browser, using adb/ fastboot command ??
Root checker says I'm rooted but some apps like Root Browser and Root App Delete say I do not have a proper root access
Maybe it's sth to do with permissions ? Also I noticed busybox is missing ..
I used Superuser by Koush flashable .zip

Well, for me root access worked fine after
1. flashing the rooting update.zip, which was posted by milaq in the first post and
2. flashing the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
So maybe something of these two zips is unnecessary, but at least it is simple and should work
i just wanna ask,, will this work to stock gingerbread? or should i update first to icecreamsandwich?
I no longer have this phone (GiONEE Dream_D1), I'm also going to stay away from Mediatek SoCs.

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.

That's great news. Thanks
On my windows 7 ThinkPad, it has never been able to detect the phone over the serial console. Perhaps I'll try it on someone else's box.

Removing Bloatware
Bloatware are the apps which are of no use but can't be deleted as they come preintsalled on your device. These app consume ram and sytem memory both
Steps:
This tutorial uses ‘root explorer’ app to select and move files, but ‘ES file explorer’ can also be used to follow these steps.
Open ‘root explorer’ and grant root permissions to ‘root explorer’.
Navigate to /system/app folder. Go to options.
Tap on ‘Multi-select’ and start selecting following apps (bloatware for me, may not be for you) from the folder – Email.apk, entertainment.apk, Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, games.apk, GMS_Maps.apk, livetv.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.odex, Talk.apk.
Either delete these from ‘root explorer’ or move to SD card if you plan to use them later.
Enjoy a faster funbook
Caution : please ask before deleting something which you don't know what it is about in system/app as all files there are not bloatware. One user had to go to service center because of it.

Just for the record :
I was not able to connect the device to the tool even though all the drivers were installed and everything. So what I did was, I opened iRoot and let it connect to the device and waited till the (device is rooted screen) appeared. Then I re-opened the MTKDroid software and it worked afterwards.
Yes, I took full backup and it is working. Haven't tried to restore it but atleast it takes full backup and looks legitimate :good:

But still the mtk tool is showing the same error again and again . I have tried it many times. I have micromax doodle 3, it works fine there but is showing this error in honor holly.
Bro I would also like to ask one more question. My phone gets heated up near the camera at the back when I play games and watch videos. Is there any solution for it. Please do reply. Thanks in advance.

You can create your own CWM my friend.
1. You have to use MTK Droid Tools to get the Block Map for the phone. Download and install MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone on and make sure the USB Debugging is on. Now connect the phone to your computer via a USB cable. MTK Droid will recognize the phone. Now, just click the Blocks Map button and click the Save button to save the scatter.txt file in a directory you make. You will need the scatter.txt file in the next step. This step only works for a rooted phone. Your phone is rooted so you can do this. (For those who don't have root access, there is a button on the bottom of the MTK Droid window to temporarily root the phone...but it may not work). DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER. And turn your phone OFF.
2. Next you must use SP Flash Tool to make a backup of the complete ROM. SPF will ask you to select the scatter.txt file. Once you select it, select the Read Back tab. Click on the Add button. It will create a record to indicate what you want to back up. Click on the file name and you then select the folder where you want to place the ROM (it is automatically named ROM_0). Then it will ask you for the starting address and the length. The starting address is 0x0. To determine the length of the backup, you have to read the scatter.txt file. Look at the "linear starting address" of the Cache partition. That is the number you want to use for the length. You write it like this "0xnnnnnnnn". Then click enter. So now the SPF knows what you want to backup from the phone and where it will store the backup.
3. Next, click the Read Back button. The SPF is now waiting for you. There's no need to rush. Turn your phone off (if you haven't turned it off yet). REMOVE the battery from your phone. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone then put the battery back in the phone. Do NOT turn the phone on. The SPF will then backup your ROM. This step could take almost an hour to finish. Go make yourself a nice cup of coffee.
4. When the backup is done, you will see a big green OK dialog. You can now disconnect the phone. Your backup is saved as ROM_0 in the folder you selected. Now go back to MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone back on. Make sure USB Debugging is still on. Connect the phone to the USB cable again. Once MTK Droid Tool recognizes the phone, go to the Root, Recovery tab. Click the button that says "Process ROM from the file." It will ask you to select the ROM_0 file you just backed up. This process will turn your ROM_0 into the partition files that make up your firmware. During this process, it will ask you if you want to make the CWM recovery!
Let the whole process complete. It could take a half hour or more. When it is done. The firmware and the CWM image will be in the MTK Droid folders. Just look through the folders under MTK Droid on your hard disk drive.
Please, when you are done, share the scatter.txt file and the CWM recovery.img with us.
And don't forget to click the Thank You button if this helped you in any way.

No. At this point, the CWM recovery image has been created in one of the folders on the computer. You next have to install it on the phone via SP Flash Tool.

There may be a problem. I tried to use a SKY 4.0D with MTK Droid Tools. For some reason, it doesn't work. I think there's an issue with the kernel. This means that someone needs to port this phone's recovery to CWM or TWRP. Hopefully, someone has already done this...but the community/developer support for these devices is non-existent unfortunately.
Once the custom recovery is available, you have to flash it onto the device, either with SP Flash Tool (you just need the scatter.txt file which you xan get from MTK Droid), or you can root your phone, install Busybox, and install Flashify to flash it to the phone.
IDEA: Start a separate XDA thread for SKY devices. They are cheap but beautiful devices. Maybe some technical folks who are skilled in porting recoveries may show up just for the challenge.

Sorry for my non helpful reply was really busy yesterday coding. I used MTK droid tools it didn't work the first time, I backed up my device again made the CWM recovery for the second time and it than booted into CWM perfectly. If you're having issues than it may be because of root I had used a one click program but it never fully rooted my device I had issues until I fully rooted on mtk droid tools ?

BTW, you should share your CWM image on say Mega.nz and post up the link so others less skilled can download and flash it. It really helps, and you'll be thanked profusely.
Also, please consider sharing what rooting program or method you used to properly root your phone. My preferred method for properly rooting MTK devices is to first flash a custom recovery using SPFT, then install SuperSu zip from the SD card. This way, I'm not having to deal with or replace Chinese super user programs.

STEP 1. Download MTK droid tools. I rooted the SKY 5.0Q with Kingo root I than used MTK droid tools to fully root the device by clicking the root button. STEP 2. Back up the phone using droid tools, its going to ask you if you want CWM built into the recovery make sure to click yes. During the process it will ask if you want to flash the new recovery image, go ahead and click yes. STEP 3. Your phone should now be rebooting into CMW now, go through it to make sure it works correctly. If it doesnt then re flash the NEW recovery boot.img that you just made.
*PLEASE NOTE: SuperUser is automatically put onto the device when rooting with Kingo root.*

Did you turn on the USB Debugging? When you connect your phone (with Debugging on) you will need to respond to the dialog that pops up on your phone to allow the computer to have access! If you do not turn on debugging or is you do not respond to this dialog, MTK Droid will not be able to see your phone.

Yes I did I did everything, I even tried it on windows 7 and 10 (pc and laptop)
and I still get the same results, I even deleted all MT drivers with usbdeview and reinstall, same thing
UPDATE:
Ok I got MTK Droid tool to detect the phone but I was unable to extract the scatter file, after numerous attempts I was informed that the Latest MTK DROID TOOL will not work 100% with the MT67xx chipset devices, maybe in the next update.
