Hi,
Like most i have been on the fence waiting to get a Android tablet. Was looking at Archos 101 or Advent Vega. Then i find this one which doesn't seem too bad a price, can someone else have a look and advise if it's any good, i know it's no Galaxy Tab. I did want a 10inc screen but for the price happy to settle for a 7inch screen. Has anybody used both sizes, is there a great difference in the expirience?

Also it says access toAndroid market, i didn't think any tablet had that at the moment officially?
Thanks.
Hiya, quite a few of us have one of these now and have already started rooting and hacking it!

First of id like to say hello
Now the reason im here 8) ...i got given this tablet & i think ive bricked it. Everywhere i look loads of people want help yet can seem to get any, to try & fix it. Then i found here & you are my only hope i haved posted this exact message in a few tablt modding / help forums to no avail
When i start it the damn thing gets stuck on the Scroll screen (maker screen) i cant use the recovery tool as it wont go into it.

Just recently I purchased a Goophone 4GS, simply a Chinese knock off of an Iphone, but I must say a very good one at that indeed. The phone is very nice and I like it a lot but came with all these Chinese apps installed that make it not only difficult but frustrating to use. The simplest solution is to root the the phone and install the apps I want and in English as well.
Before everyone starts pointing me to this thread and that post, I have spent every night for the past week searching and reading every bit of information on trying to root this phone to no avail whatsoever. Root Rec 3.2 does not work, permission denied, superoneclick either hangs or or comes back with the same.
Z4Root does nothing, Gingerbreak just hangs, Anyandroot says wrong version.
More searching even going to translating the Chinese forum made no difference to the outcome, following their procedure, and all the others nothing seems to work
I have downloaded a rom That I would like to use but I need the phone rooted first, I even tried to install the rom, using the initial setup (surprisingly) in English but keeps telling me new rom no E signature process aborted.
Now I'm new to this game but willing to learn, and have come a long way in a week, so If I ask stupid questions please remember I'm still a NOOB.
If anyone can suggest a procedure, or try this or that please help, Speak up and save my sanity, before end up rooting the phone in a different way.
Thanks

Which version of Android is the phone on
Swyped From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
Virtuous Inquisition 3.0
Please don't laugh, but I'm not real sure, I think its 2.3 Where on the phone would I find this information?
According to the seller's site its android 2.3 with MTK MT6573 Processor,
When you go into the phone Settings, About all listed relate to apple OS not android confuses me even more.:
Thanks

I believe the version is a heavily modded version of 2.2 Froyo OR 2.3 Gingerbread.
An Update I tried a few more packages tonight, CF-Root, and 234root.zip.
CF didn't do a thing, 234 I could not open, non signature error, So I even tried installing 3e refectory installer, but all failed.
Desperate for ideas now, even tried renaming the new rom as backup file to fool the system but no work.
Desperayte for answeres Please!
Thanks

Hi All
Just so I put an end to this thread for others with the same problems the solution is.
The phone is set with an IOS operating system and when you go to root the phone the programme cannot find the correct version. So solution is.
Go to rom.gooapple.com and download an earlier version of the rom . I used 12.02.13.zip and worked.
When you enter the site do not use translator, find the rom and press on it, will redirect you to another site 115 Chinese . Under the picture there are 4 buttons press the white one and download should start.
Once downloaded install it to your SD card go to setup and update from SD, the new rom will then be installed on the phone. Then use the Chinese Root-Rec and it should root. I even checked it with superoneclick and it worked.
So when you check your version on the phone if its running IOS XXXXX then you need to change it to android.
Good Luck.
Thanks to those who assisted me, and I hope I can assist someone else.

Goophone 4gs root
Hi! I'm a newbie and not a techie one. Really.
I have a goophone 4gs, mt6573 (although my antutu says its goophone y5) running android 4.1.1 and i want to root it... pls help.
Hi everyone on this amazing forum! First of all sorry for my bad english but i'm spanish... i'll try
Ok.
I've been trying to compile my own kitchen ROM but, I can't! Its impossible for me there is always an error i don't know where that avoids my success.
My phone is a ZTE SKATE/ ORANGE MONTECARLO. In order to compile i've been following that links... but I cant make them work.
-android.modaco.com/topic/353188-compiling-cm9-for-blade/
-wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/ZTE_Blade:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)
And to adapt it to Skate instead of Blade i use that:
-github.com/tilal6991/proprietary_vendor_zte
My most common problems are:
-Impossible to download a full and working gingerbread.
-Impossible to use the extract-files.sh (it always shows me adb errors)
So here I am... desesperate because I didnt get anything for a whole month working on that.
I need Dev Help!
Hope you have a more complex guide or some way of making it work.
Thanks 4 everything.

UUp! please! i need some help!!
Hello All,
I tried to find the best place in the forum to put this thread, i hope this one is ok.
Three days ago i made a big mistake trying to root my ASUS TF103C, i have downloaded a wrong zip file with scripts for ZenFone5 and execute a .bat that destroy the tablet (totally my fault). i spent three days reading and trying everything, i read all the forums and tried lot of fastboot procedures and also EasyFlash with stock firmware "WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher" but nothing. To make it worst (after reading a lot) i realize that i don't have recovery (power+volume down is not working) and i'm sure that my bootloader is locked (since i didn't unlocked) .... I don't know what else to do i'm sure it must be a way to flash a new firmware with fastboot, i mean, i don't want to loose the hope :crying: . At this point i really don't care which firmware , which android version i just want to revive the tablet.
I read this forum A LOT and i know you are experienced people with android and procedures like this.
PLEASE , can you help me ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Hello Pr0sper,
i am quite a n00b too but i am suffering a similar error with my tf101 and was trying a lot too.
So just to make sure you did everything:
Are you able to connect your Tablet with your Pc? Is the PC recognising the connection with your Pc?
Is Cold-booting Linux available?
Can you start APX mode on Tablet?
Did you run ADB?
Regards
Bava
Hello...as the title states, I need help to root my Vodafone Vodacom Power Tab 10. The tablet runs on Android 5.1 and is fairly new to the market, only available in South Africa.
Now I've tried all sorts of root apk's and PC software including KingRoot, Kingo Root, Framaroot, SRSRoot, etc, but none of these have been able to root my device.
Note I cannot boot into recovery mode, but I can boot into Fastmode.
So if anyone out there can, please help.
See attachment for the details of my tablet.
Thanx!!!
(Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section. I'm new here)
Bro i have been trying to root mine aswell.
its sad to see no one has replied to this thread i have been following your other 2 threads i'm not sure if you got my reply because i cant find the thread any more haha ,
but yes i have tried everything you have and possibly more ..
but all i can find is that it is an Alcatel one touch Pixi3 (10) rebranded as a vodacom power tab 10
but that hasnt helped me much either ..
Please let me know if you find a rooting option that works
I'm assuming you're talking about the thread at My broadband.(cannot post links as yet). Just google the title of this thread and the other should also appear on google.
I got a reply on it with a way that might help to root this device. haven't tried it yet cause I only saw the reply just now. will try the method and report back.
Hey guys,
I have a tablet called Vsun Vtab 3G that has similar specs to yours, I successfully root it with KingRoot 4.8.5 APK, but before using this method you should enable USB Debugging and Unlock Bootloader in Developer Options, if you don't have Dev Options you can have it by clicking in Build Number in About Tablet for 5 times! Hope it works, and I hope you can find a working custom recovery!

Have you managed to get a rom? I'll let you know if I find anything to fix it.
Is there any progress on this device. My device board is same as this one.
