[Q] How can I get the Android Marketplace on my Alldro device ?

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!

thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing

thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?

could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?

nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?

ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli

You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.

nice selection, to root that your going to need a program written in Chinese most likely since all the hardware for it is written that way but that shouldnt be too hard. before we start here
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT: by choosing to do any of the things I have written here for you, you assume full responsibility for whatever happens, I DO NOT and CAN NOT be held responsible for anything you do! I have provided you with a way to do what you asked. YOU assume full liability regardless the outcome.
1st. your gonna want to go to Google, yahoo, Bing, whatever one you choose and download a translator from Chinese to English (i assume you speak English obviously) anyways you need this to translate whatever program your gonna be using when you find it...
2. do a search online for your tablet model, be as specific as possible, version number, serial numbers, kernel version and you should find a bunch of links but they will be in Chinese ( this is what the translator is for) when you find the links in your search engine copy the writing to your translator and it should convert it to English this way you can see the description of the programs your looking at.
3. when you find one you think is the rooting software download the program and open to folder location, you should see a few folders, maybe an exe. maybe not but there should be names in Chinese on every folder, copy an paste the names to your translator until you find the name for the EXE. thats the program that runs it, you may also want to look for an instruction manual too via the same method because the actual program and script instructions are gonna be in Chinese as well but your computer should have no trouble running it you just wont be able to understand the instructions so before you actually run it for real on your device copy tose instructions to translator to see how to root your device, most likely the program is going to have choices you need to make just like and SPF program does LINUX or RSD lite, ect ect...
4. I know this is getting to be a long process but I did this with a laptop I was given 2 years ago and it worked fine after a few try's with different programs I found. you also have to make sure the software/hardware on your computer is compatible with whatever is on the tablet and the rooting program, if you cant find a rooting program thats compatible unfortunately this method wont work because the program to root will not work on your computer is its not compatible.
Good luck.

No nothing . I can`t find nothing

Actually the TomTec Excellent 7 is rooted by default.
Latest official firmware is available @ tom-tec.eu/pages/firmware.
Code:
adb root
adb shell
And you'll notice you have root access to the whole system .

[GUIDE] How to access adb, and how to root for Xolo Intel mobiles.

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.!!!!

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.

Hey its very simple to root, but i found it after searching for it a lot. Download Kingo Root app from pc, There are two ways. 1. You can do it with android app directly in your tab. 2. Do using pc. I have done using Android app. So you can get the apk file in its website or google it. Go to products in it website and download apk for android. You have to download it from pc as market doesnt shows. After download install and open the app. It will show your Tab or android details, like Model name and android version. And details either its rooted device or Not. if it is not rooted it will indicate as no root, so click on the bottom of the page to root. It will do 4 things wait till its done till 100%. Approximately it may take around 2 to 5 minutes. After its done, Restart the device. And again open the App. Check what it indicate as rooted device or non rooted. If it shows as rooted, then your smartphone is successfully rooted. And if it shows as No root try again.
Note Try even though if your device is not listed in list, because list is incomplete, because it say "NOT LISTED" does not necessarily mean "NOT SUPPORTED".
for any more details regarding it plz mail me at [email protected]

Info please: How does malware attack on Android work

I have a tab Lenovo A5500-HV, recently it was malware compromised mostly in
/system/priv-app/*.apk
/system/app/*.apk
My tab is not rooted. I can no longer keep my Unknown devices installation (checked off) and if I connect to internet installation of file with weird names are installed which interrupt and disrupt normal functioning to standstill.
I wish to understand
a) How is trojan or backdoor infestation in android different from windows
b) Why isnt best known antivirus and anti- malwares of windows platform unable to neither detect or remove infected files (Device not rooted)
c) How can I protect my device as I tried hard reset but it did no good
So please share some application/s (apk) to detect infected files and hopefully remove (without rooting if possible and still securing default android). Norton/ AVG/ Avast failed to detect them but Malwarebytes detect but none could disinfect

a) The only differences are technical ones, such as executing exploits and creating the malware itself.
b) Because malware isn't nearly as popular on Android compared to Windows, so naturally less interest for security companies and less malware samples to analyse.
c) If you can't get it removed with a hard reset, either the company selling you the phone has infected the ROM, or an app has rooted your phone, injected itself onto /system and now you're screwed.
My advice: completely re-flash the stock (or more preferably) a stable custom tom. This does require you to root (or flash a custom recovery via fastboot).

Thanks for taking time. So this means if the app has rooted the phone does the phone stay rooted for the user (for removal) or for the device now is at the mercy of malware as any internet connectivity will re invite their infected downloads. And say, if its rooted please share few antivirus , antimalwares or apps that can assist in erasing trojan or backdoor through the path viewed.

You cannot use the root exploit to remove the malware. There is NO antivirus app that can remove that malware because it's on a partition the antivirus can't access.
Only way to remove the threat for sure is to flash a new rom on the phone, but this requires root.
If you guys don't know how to root, you can try the new Dirty Cow exploit. There aren't any one click apps yet, but you can compile it as the source code is on GitHub.

So this means after flashing, need to search for stable custom ROM which has to be compatible with

Yes, it's still valid as apps will always be sandboxed in Android so security apps can't access malware in most of the partitions on your phone if they have managed to install themselves there, but AV can still identify malware (in some partitions at least, I think there are some they cannot read), so I think they have their uses, but they are limited by the very thing that makes Android more secure than Windows out the box, ie how apps are sandboxed. One thing that has changed though since that was written is there are a number of new exploits that can gain root, when it was written I think it was generally considered unlikely a malicious app could gain access to root, now I would say it's not on older versions of Android.
ANd just to clarify what has been said above by Janek, you should install stock ROM first then a custom ROM if you want one, as stock will overwrite all partitons while most custom ROMs will not!

Thanks for the info. Another quert, any suggestion for sandboxes browser that can be recommended
