You can get it.... Quickly & simply......!
Checkout on YOUTUBE for complete process...
OR
Do The Following...................!!
Download These File First :
*Super One Click
*Xrecovery
*Root Explorer
*GingerDX v21 ROM (From Xda or Elswhere)
Just Follow This Step
Step 1: Root your W8
- download and unzip SuperOneClickv1.9.1-ShortFuse to PC Desktop
- connect W8 to PC (Do not mount)
- on your phone [goto] [setting] [applications] select [unknown sources]
- on your phone [goto] [setting] [applications] [development] select [usb debugging]
- Launch SuperOneClick, click [Root]
- If it ask something about Busy Box just click Yes
- you will see - [not successful - is your phone software higher than 2.0?]
- click [yes] and then [success] & [test su] message
(this last part might not appear the same as It's written here, so just use your common sense to get through)
If you are successful in ROOTING your phone - SuperUser app will be installed to your W8.
If you are not successful:-
(a) check your PC [devices] [usb] to see if your phone is recognized by your PC (troubleshoot PC driver problem)
(b) [usb debugging] in your W8 phone settings enabled?
Then [Launch] [SuperOneClick] and try again.
Install any File Manager from Android Market, such as Astro File Manager.
Step 2: Mount W8 (to access SD Card)
- copy [Root.Explorer.v2.16.apk] to root of SD Card
- using PC create folder [xRecovery] and unzip xRecovery0.1.rar
- put the 3 files into the xRecovery folder you've created
- copy the xRecovery folder to root of SD Card
Step 3: UnMount W8 from PC
Step 4: Launch [Astro File Manager] Install [Root Explorer v2.16.apk]
Step 5:
- Launch [Root Explorer]
- scroll down to /sdcard [click to access]
- scroll down to xRecovery folder [click to access]
- Select each of the 3 files (one by one) [click & hold] [copy]
- [click] parent folder (twice)
- scroll down to [click to access] [system]
- [click to access] [bin] and [click] [Mount R/W] (R/W as in Read/Write)
- press [paste] button
Now your Phone should be rooted and ready to install your Android 2.3.7
Step 1: Make a backup copy of your Android Eclair 2.1 using xRecovery
- check that your phone's SD Card has at least 650MB of free space
[SD card free space is to hold both your phone original backup ROM and the 2.3 ROM]
- shutdown your W8 and wait 5 seconds and then [reboot] your phone.
- when you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen, start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu.
- select [backup and restore] [backup] from the menu
NOTE:
- This will create a backup file in your SD Card [SD/xRecovery/backup]
- After you have completed the backup using xRecovery, it will return to the menu screen.
- Now choose [reboot] - your W8 phone should restart
Step 2: Download GingerXperia ROM (something you probably already did with the links above)
- [mount] your W8 and copy this file [GingerDX.zip] into SD card
- [unmount] and shutdown your W8
Step 3: Installing the 2.3.7 ROM on your W8
- [boot] W8
- when you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen, start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu.
- [select] [factory reset (full wipe)]
- scroll down and hit [install custom zip]
- select [GingerDX.zip] from your SD card & hit [yes]
- xRecovery will start to install the 2.3.7 ROM on your phone.
- when it is done, xRecovey will go back to the startup menu
- [click] [reboot]
If you are stuck in the GingerDX startup screen for more than 5 minutes, just try restart the phone and It should be fine. Took me 2 restarts before the new ROM took action.
RESTORING THE Official Android Eclair 2.1.1 ROM
- [shutdown] wait 5 seconds [reboot] W8
- when you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen, start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu.
- [select] [factory reset (full wipe)]
- scroll down and hit [backup/restore] [restore]
- you should see your original 2.1 backup ROM
- [select] [2011-10-xx.xx.xx.xx.ROM] [restore] [it should look something like 2011-05-06.21.01.23]
- xRecovery will start to install the original 2.1.1 ROM [the ROM you've backed up in Step 1] from your phone's SD Card.
- when it is done xRecovey will go back to the startup menu
- [click] [reboot]
May Your Problem Get Solved.................!

First Read Completely........!!!!!!
Man i think u should go for new...........
I mean install Sony update service............
Install the custom ROM using this & root your device properly....
Use Flash tool or x8toolbox(i prefer this ) for rooting & installing recovery.......
(Or Try To install just xrecovery once..... May it Work)
else :silly:
Just check the directory properly were u have pasted xrecovery files...(Remember There Are Two Bin Folders)
Replace Them.....(But It Can Hang Ur Phone & U May Have To Follow Upper Steps).
Click THANKS If I HELPED.....!!!!!

Man Check For Latest Rom.
Old Roms Have Bugs.
If U r not sure what to use go for kuyadroid.
I have used it.....!!!!
Its Smooth & great.
Other wise fill the kernal & other requirements properly for GDX.
After u solve this i will tell u a trick to run all games for X8/W8... so keep smiling !!:laugh:
i tried kuyadroid 2.3.175, Ginger Dx, GingerXperia v21, FroyoPro and I'm currently using honeyfroyo. 3d games seem to crash in ALL of them. Dead Space crashed on reloading saved games on all custom roms and has no problem running on Stock 2.1 ROM.
It's Secret........!!

Hello, i'm a big problem for my motorola milestone 2 A953, I apologize for my language and my mistakes.
Hello, I recently purchased from eBay Milestone 2 has an English menu and is purchased in the UK, I wanted to upload to the new software CM9 best unless it can not be CM7, and right now I have a problem namely
I have bootloader 70.13, upload the file to the memory card from the CM9 and GAPPS bootloader fires (up arrow + power) via USB to the PC turn on RSD lite version 5.x choose the file with the extension *. SBF and then kicks me out of 100% and I turned on the phone once again turn to the new bootloader and shows the pass. My next step holds the power and turn off phone and then I hit 'x' + power and shows me a screen with an exclamation point in a triangle and android humanoids press volume + camera and then a magnifying glass on the keyboard and nothing happens no fires are no menu is the same I'll do it but as I press the @ button on the keyboard or anything, no menu: (
I did everything the instructions that I found on forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338183
1) Install Bootstrap Recovery Droid2
2) Boot into recovery
3) OPTIONALLY: create a backup of your data
4) Choose Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard and select downloaded ZIP file.
5) OPTIONALLY: install Google Apps the same way
6) Wipe data / factory reset
7) Wipe cache partition
8) Reboot and enjoy
9) OPTIONALLY: use attached Baseband app switcher if you have troubles with phone signal.
all worked out, but when I went passed the phone rebote motorola logo and nothing else happens. I do not know how to solve this problem.
I can not run the recovery menu. I can only enter the bootloader version is 70.13.
I would like to upload the software from the Polish language.
Thanks for help.

This is a (very) small how-to regarding Root on Generic (unbranded, mostly called "MID") Android Tablets with aml8726-mx platform.
This file was made originally for Ainol Novo 7 Crystal tablet, but it works (or should work) on all devices based on the following platform:
AML8726-MX System-On-Chip, AMLogic Meson6 gXX costumer platform
Cortex A9 Dual-Core CPU @ 1.5Ghz
1Gb Ram
Dual-Core Mali400 GPU
Android ICS 4.0.4 or JB 4.1.1
Other exploits have been tried, like Bin4ary's method, Doomlord's method, SRS Root, One Click Root, but all of them can't seem to work (for now) for these devices when Android ICS 4.0.4 or Jelly Bean 4.1.1 is present. So, if you own one of these devices, use this file to gain Root access.
1 - Put the zip file on the root of your SD card
2 - Reboot to recovery (with the device off, press the Vol - and Power button together until it enters recovery)
3 - Select (using Vol keys) "apply update from EXT"
4 - Select the file and run it pressing the Power button
5 - Reboot your device
You should see before Android finishes loading a small notification saying "Android is updating", and after it finishes loading, if you go to the App drawer, you should see SuperSU installed.
UPDATE:
It seems that some of these devices that come with newer versions of Android have EXT4 FS instead of UBIFS.
XDA Member Lannig has managed to edit the META-INF file of the "Crystal-Root.zip", re-compress it and re-sign it.
With his permission, and by suggestion of XDA Member AbliB, i'm posting Lannig's root file here in the OP, so that users with these AmLogic devices with EXT4 File System can have root.
Credits for the original root file (Crystal-Root.zip) go to Soulflier @ Slatedroid.com
Credits for the alternative root file go to Lannig @ XDA

What happened exactly? Did the device boot properly after root? Or did this happen afterwards? If it happened on the first boot after root, than maybe this method is not suitable for your device, i suggest making a full factory reset (wipe cache and media partitions if the recovery has that option) and then do a factory reset in the recovery.

I'm trying to find out that myself, since my tablet is a generic unbranded device. For now i only have root installed and nothing else, only the standard recovery. Since your device is not as generic, try searching Slatedroid.com for enything related to it, they have a ton of topics on most low-cost tablets on the market, including Ainol's, Coby's, Zenithink's, etc.

It did root properly, the root works very well. its my own fault that after root, i download lots of apps and change the "boot animation" and also run fix permission using Clockwork and all hell broke loose after reboot. It was "bricked" as it even factory default also cannot work.
- Luckly i search the web for 3 days and finally able to find the original ROM + the tools from a Chinese website and able to use PC -USB - Tablet to reload everything using ImageBurnTool.exe.
Now my tablet is back to normal and with this ImageBurnTool, i have make it "brick" few time and still able to restore to factory default.
Actually i was thinking of sharing the ROM and the website here, but not sure how to do it.
It seems there is no Forum on Viewsonic VB100a pro, i wish to setup one to help other and share my experience.

NEXT8D12F
I have tried this on my Nextbook NEXT8D12F which has AMLogic 8726-MX 1.5 Ghz and the ARM Mali TM-400 GPU but didn't have any luck.
I put the zip on the root of a formatted microSD and put it in the tablet whiles its off. Boot into recovery mode then it says:
E:Bad bootloader arguments
"(null)"
E:unknown volume for path [/udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
E:Can't mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml
So I select the option 'apply update from sdcard' and select the Crystal_Root.zip and it starts doing something then says:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failes
Installation aborted.
Anyone know what's going on?
Cheers.

Have you tried to re-download the file? What Android version do you have on your device? This is designed for ICS 4.0.4 or JB 4.1.1 and possibly 4.1.2. The error you're getting suggests that the file is corrupted but there is a chance of your device manufacturer has it's own Android customized version and some paths may be different from the generic Google version. (This happens with Huawei for example)

Have you tried to re-download the file? What Android version do you have on your device? This is designed for ICS 4.0.4 or JB 4.1.1 and possibly 4.1.2. The error you're getting suggests that the file is corrupted but there is a chance of your device manufacturer has it's own Android customized version and some paths may be different from the generic Google version. (This happens with Huawei for example)

I have tried this on my Nextbook NEXT8D12F which has AMLogic 8726-MX 1.5 Ghz and the ARM Mali TM-400 GPU but didn't have any luck.
I put the zip on the root of a formatted microSD and put it in the tablet whiles its off. Boot into recovery mode then it says:
E:Bad bootloader arguments
"(null)"
E:unknown volume for path [/udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
E:Can't mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml
So I select the option 'apply update from sdcard' and select the Crystal_Root.zip and it starts doing something then says:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failes
Installation aborted.
Anyone know what's going on?

It did root properly, the root works very well. its my own fault that after root, i download lots of apps and change the "boot animation" and also run fix permission using Clockwork and all hell broke loose after reboot. It was "bricked" as it even factory default also cannot work.
- Luckly i search the web for 3 days and finally able to find the original ROM + the tools from a Chinese website and able to use PC -USB - Tablet to reload everything using ImageBurnTool.exe.
Now my tablet is back to normal and with this ImageBurnTool, i have make it "brick" few time and still able to restore to factory default.
Actually i was thinking of sharing the ROM and the website here, but not sure how to do it.
It seems there is no Forum on Viewsonic VB100a pro, i wish to setup one to help other and share my experience.

This is a (very) small how-to regarding Root on Generic (unbranded, mostly called "MID") Android Tablets with aml8726-mx platform.
This file was made originally for Ainol Novo 7 Crystal tablet, but it works (or should work) on all devices based on the following platform:
AML8726-MX System-On-Chip, AMLogic Meson6 gXX costumer platform
Cortex A9 Dual-Core CPU @ 1.5Ghz
1Gb Ram
Dual-Core Mali400 GPU
Android ICS 4.0.4 or JB 4.1.1
Other exploits have been tried, like Bin4ary's method, Doomlord's method, SRS Root, One Click Root, but all of them can't seem to work (for now) for these devices when Android ICS 4.0.4 or Jelly Bean 4.1.1 is present. So, if you own one of these devices, use this file to gain Root access.
1 - Put the zip file on the root of your SD card
2 - Reboot to recovery (with the device off, press the Vol - and Power button together until it enters recovery)
3 - Select (using Vol keys) "apply update from EXT"
4 - Select the file and run it pressing the Power button
5 - Reboot your device
You should see before Android finishes loading a small notification saying "Android is updating", and after it finishes loading, if you go to the App drawer, you should see SuperSU installed.
Full credits for the file go to Soulflier @ Slatedroid.com

-hello do you have CWM for aml8726-mx?
Dude....you rock. I have been trying for days to root my dad's Zeki 7" 4.1.1 Jelly Bean tablet. This worked without any problems. Just flashed the zip and waited for Android to update and....rooted. Now, I got this bad boy looking like a Nexus 7. And with Google Play!!!
Thanks for your contribution....I will give donation once I have enough money because this is just plain awesome!!!! :good:

Hi,
I own a Bsnl Penta Tpad IS701c Tablet which has the following specification:
1. 1 Ghz Cortex A8 Processor
2. 512 MB RAM
3. 4GB Rom
4. Expandable to 32GB via Micro SD Card
5. HDMI Port
6. One Mini USB and One Full USB 2.0 with Mic Facility
7. VGA Camera
I was trying to root this tablet since it was performing very poorly but wasn't able to do so, so I tried to downgrade it from ICS 4.0.3 to Gingerbread. Flash was successfull but now the tablet is stuck on the Andriod Welcome Screen and I am unable to use the touch screen. Also when I am trying to shutdown it doesnt allow me to do so and Hard Reset is also not working.
Need your assistance in resolving this problem.
Resolved: How to format install and root BSNL Penta Tpad IS701c
Hi Guys,
I previously was looking out for an answer regarding how to upgrade firmware and unlock root access for BSNL Penta Tpad IS701C tablet. After 3 sleepless nights I have been successfully able to do the same and here is how you can restore your broken tablet (if its the case).
Prerequisites:
1. BSNL Penta Tpad IS701c Tablet (at least 50% charged or put on charging and continue)
2. OTG cable
3. Windows XP Operating System (I used the same since I was unable to load the ADB drivers using Win7)
4. Downloaded driver pack from pantel website for your device (For my device, New IS701C 20121201)
Procedure:
1. First of all, Download the Driver Zip pack and unzip it anywhere on your desktop or laptop
2. Next open the unzipped driver pack and run MPTool.exe file.
3. Next step is the connect your OTG cable to your tablet and then your PC/Laptop (Make sure that your tablet is in OFF Condition)
4. Now, insert a pin in the reset hole of tablet and press the Power Button for 5 secs (your tablet will start in Debug Mode and you will find Andriod device pop up on your PC/Laptop by the drive name as Vrdu or something).
5. As soon as the device is connected respective Port name in above picture is highlighted in Green with status as 'Ready' ( Buckle up as your are all set to flash your device)
6. Next up, click on 'Erase' to flash your ROM (this is advised to avoid any boot failures due to some junk data in Rom if you choose to just Download the ROM without Erasing it first, as good as Format your Hard disk and then clean install your OS simple!!)
7. Once done, you will get a pop up message 'Download End' and in background you will see 'Erase Success'.
8. Click on 'Download End' button and then click on 'Download NAND' button. ( Download will start, please be patient while this happening since it will take some time to complete. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR TABLET TILL THEN.
9. Once the download process is completed, you will again see 'Download End' pop up and in background you can see 'Download Success'
10. Next up, to patch your device ID, enter your device number as received with warranty card and click on 'Save and Return' button.
11. Now click on Write Chip ID ( you will get success message as before)
Viola!!!! you have just completed flashing your ROM and installed Andriod ICS 4.0.3 with some prepackaged softs.
Test:
1. Unmount your Andriod Device from PC/Laptop
2. Remove OTG Cable
3. Press the Reset button once ( Device will be shutdown)
4. Press Power button for 5 secs and.........
CONGRATULATIONS....your device is up and running brand new Andriod ICS OS.
Note: The device is powered by VIMICRO VA7882F chipset just an FYI.
Happy Andrioding!!!!

Hi,
The above method is for Penta Tpad IS701c. If you are trying to install this firmware of IS701r it will not work since there is a difference in the touchscreen hardware. Please download firmware from Pantel website for IS701r and try it once.
Always happy to help!!

Hi,
What OS are you using on your desktop or laptop? I used Windows XP to update flash my firmware coz its comparitively easy. if Win 7, there are problems as Penta tablet is not recognized by default so you need to specify Generic Andriod ADB drivers. Once the Andriod device is recognized Vdfu named drive is opened. and then you can run the VIMICRO tool in the firmware setup you downloaded. Then first erase the rom and install the new ROM. Its fairly easy process if you still have any issues let me know. Old firmware was without HDMI support while new is with HDMI support I flashed with new IS701c firmware.

Sumit R

Hi All,
Sorry for hacking this post. I bought one BSNL Penta 701c Model, and when I open camera it says "Internal card is empty"" . When I insert the SD card it is not mounted. And the tablet details are
Model Number : 701c
Android Ver: 4.0.3
kernal Ver : 3.0.8
Build Number : PENTA IS701C 20121012
I was trying to flash my device. But even after enabled USB debugging the device is running in to debug mode.
I tried this unlock tool mentioned in thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969766) and it says device not found.
Any help ?
Thanks

There are two versions of Penta IS701C hardware. Build nos 20120717 & 201209xx are considered old and there is a new version 201212xx.
This is amazingly lame on the part of Pantel Tech. They should have changed the model no to atleast IS710d or IS701E. Now when the
above 2 "old" versions hardware is flashed by "new" (angry birds space) rom/driver version, it causes trouble. TouchScreen problems
are the first headache as the tablet becomes unusable. (Try connecting a mouse on USB port. On my functioning tablet it works nicely).
Similar problems happen if "new" version hardware is flashed by "old" driver/rom version. I had recently emailed Penta tech support and they
cautioned me against updating my tablet with "new" angry birds space rom version.
One solution would be to download the "old" version of drivers from the Penta website and flash them.

Where do you find this MPTool.exe. If it comes along with driver download from Penta website, could you please zip it and
post it here in this forum. The driver package is huge and I don't want to download it just for one tool.
Actually I want to try to take the backup of the IS701C rom using MPTool. There are many versions of MPTool floating around
on the web for different kinds of devices like pendrives, phones, tablet etc. Right one should be used.
Taking a complete backup image of this tablet is proving to be challenge. It appears there is no recovery firmware compatible with it.
So softwares like ROM manager, ROM Toolbox, Titanium Backup, Online Nandroid all fail to make a complete image of the ROM.
While apps and there data can be backup by Helium backup, the system partitions remain out of reach. It is always good have a
complete backup in case something goes wrong in the future.
Best Regards,
VK Singh
useful information indeed @MadMax, it worked for me, thanks
After RESET use button POWER+VOLUME- (volume minus) to get into debug mode.
All the above steps are working. just after using RESET button use HOME BUTTON+VOLUME DECREASE BUTTON to get into DEBUG MODE.
otherwise the tablet do not go into debug mode.
try it. its working well for me.
thank you for the post by MADMAX87.:highfive::good:

Hi,
My BSNL PENTA IS701C was having issues in accessing the Internal & External SD card memory. Hence I have reflashed the tab with the firware from the Patel.in site (IS701C OLD 20120918) with the help of PC & external SD card. Now after flashing the firmware, the Touch Screen is not working (but the SD memory card is working fine). Mouse connection is working fine. I believe the firware version is wrong.
I tried reflashing the version NEW IS701C 20121201, but I couldn't so because the MP tool is not recognizng the device. I have inserted the pin in the reset hole and pressed the Rest and Power button simulatenously for 5 sec. The tab boots normally and the in MP tool the not device is selected and Erase/Download NAND buttons are not enabled. But I am able to access the SD cards from the PC. USB Debug is enabled. Kindly help me in fixing the issue.
Thanks in advance.
To Mr. Pallav.
29-Oct-13. Dear Mr.Pallav, Your info "Build nos 20120717 & 201209xx are considered old and there is a new version 201212xx." acted upon us as MOST VITAL info. So, we downloaded the new OS accordingly from Website - mytabletguru [dot] com. Immense thanks and gratitude.

Please help me!!!
I used to root my Fuhi Nabi 2 as described on your forum, in order to get access to Google Play.
As I got an email from Fuhu mentioning that Google Play is now out-of-the box with the latest update, I did restore the stock ROM 2.0.5 (from your Wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_2#Stock_Roms) and did the normal Systems Updates (via the tablet's menu Settings > About Tablet > System Updates).
Part one went fine, bu I have the "Android facepalm" when installing the part 2. Exactly the same has reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50140109&postcount=177
I search for a solution here without result... But as I am not a native English speaker, I think I am possible not using the right keywords..
Would you mind to give me the right direction/some help ?
10.000 Thx !!!
[EDIT] : Reading yet more posts, I found someone with a similar issue and a solution... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641700

I hope it will do the trick as I am already blamed by my wife and my kids who lost all their apps and games

So,
My understanding is that the recovery img (TWRP) was replaced (? correct) during one of the OTA updates.
So I did reinstall the version 2.2.2.1 which was the only one working fine on my tablet due to calibration issue (I didn't try 2.6.3.0 yet)
Next, I did copy the OTA2.zip on a SD card and plugged it into the tablet.
I did boot on the recovery image (pressing both the volume + button and the power button followed by twice the volume - button and once the volume + button).
Once in TWRP, I did "Install" > "Using External "SD" > "OTA2.Zip"
After the installation, I did "Wipe Cache/dalvik"
And finally "Reboot System".
Once booted, I WAS ON Android 4.1.1 with Play Store available !!!
I LOVE YOUR FORUM !!!
