problem is all cm7 for my mobile have usb tether bug .. and the app doesn't work with wired tether app ;(
I download and try all cm7 2day after read tht post
I hope to find fix for the bug soon
When you say without wifi. Do you mean the PC and phone don't have wifi working radios? Because if they do and you have a wired internet connection just use connectify. It's free and works great. I may have misunderstood the purpose of the thread though.

After reviewing the app I guess I don't see my personal usefulness in such an app unless either the PC or phone don't have functioning wifi radios. Which I could see in a desktop. I do however see the usefulness on connecting to a PC to use it's internet. Clearly this app is for others that do require this function.

but there are some people without wifi hosting powered desktop...it'z for them!!
even i run on cm7.2..try downloading drivers!!! try easy tether app also...

I'm starting to think is my celphone model, I waited for the "legal" hour and nope, I changed the hour on my pc, and nothing T-T, and it's rooted and so. But as I said, maybe is my cel, galaxy ACE with gingerbread 2.3.4
There's no need to download it from me*fire since a tusted and up-to-date APK file is available for download right from the developer's website.
SE xperia arc s here, ics ice lite, NO WAY: time limit always on
edit: able to start program but not to establish connection
Will this enable me to get internet on my Kindle Fire through my cell phone 3G tetherd via USB?
Thanks
problem
I upgraded to the latest one today and it seemed to start working. After running the program (I had it set to control 3g....or make apps work as if it saw 3g), it won't let me connect to v* with networking. Voice and sms works fine, but the 3g/1x doesn't work at all.
I'm going to try to restore from a backup and see what happens. Anybody have any ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------
Not sure what happened, but I restored from a clockworkmod recovery backup I did earlier today (before I used reverse tether). Luckily, this seemed to get my network connection (3g/1x) back.
Reverse Tether is a great idea and it's really something I need, but I'm a little leery about using it now since it messed my 3g connection up.
Not working..
Hello..
It only worked for one time but now whenever i try to connect it says "cant establish a connection, please make sure that your internet is shared"
my internet connection is shared, remote NDIS usb driver is also installed ..
Plz help me..
Ok I've got a generic tablet from Walmart, the DOPO MD-740. It's running ICS 4.0.3. I've been in contact with customer service about this thing, and while they're friendly and courteous, they really don't know anything about their product. According to their lead tech "there is no recovery or download mode".
Headache.
Well fooling around with this device, I've found.... SOMETHING....
While holding the volume up button at the same time as the power button, it boots straight to one single image, shown below. I have a feeling it's the download mode. Whatever it is, it's progress. Can anyone recognize what I got into? It's not a fatal error-- when I hit the reset button and reboot the tablet normally, all is fine.
I've tried to reboot into recovery via adb but I get the message that the command is not allowed. And of course, su is not allowed either.
Anyone have any suggestions on running adb on my computer... what process I would need to follow to manually root an ICS tablet? Would I just follow the same steps as I would in manually rooting a gingerbread device, or is there different lines of code I would need to use for ICS?
As for what device the kernel for THIS device has been ported from (it's obviously emulating something that has a magnometer which this unit doesn't have, etc...)... tech support doesn't know that either. The only clue I have that MIGHT help (other than the kernel version, build number, etc... all this is documented in another post, if anyone cares to take a look) is the FIRST boot image is of the penguin.
I would appreciate ANY feedback/information/advice anyone could offer in progressing with this "adventure"!
Thanks
Well with another twenty minutes of blindly pressing buttons I've found the recovery mode. From the screen displaying the android with the open panel (which I have concluded is NOT the download mode), pressing volume up, back, and power at the same time opens the recovery mode. The recovery is:
Android system recovery <3e>
Recovery system v4.00
No option to apply zip from sd, I guess this is to be expected on a stock device.
hi
in application select usb debug mode
install from unknown sources
connect to pc and run DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT
should work
regards
fred
didn't work.
After adb started successfully, sat for two hours and did nothing.
hi
are you using windows ?
is it reconized by windows ? do you have the drivers installed ?
ich processor use that tablet ?
Yeah I'm running Windows Vista, and my PC does recognize the device when it's connected (says drivers have been installed properly when connected under USB debugging mode, no problem transferring files in USB mode)
It's the ARMv7 processor
The device is recognized as Full ASOP on Rk29sdk
I've run across a new problem, which might actually be the main issue of the WHOLE problem. I was trying to push some files with adb from my laptop and it came to my attention that the driver for my device only acknowledges it as a mass storage device, even when the tablet is NOT mounted for mass storage. SOOOO... I guess I need a driver that will allow me to use adb. Any suggestions?
did you try with the drivers package from sdk ?
yup. Even gone as far as uninstalling the adb and sdk programs I had on my pc, downloading the newest versions and reinstalling. My computer "recognizes" the divice, but only as folders. Even when it's not mounted as mass storage.
STILL having te driver issue. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fnd a driver that will work with adb?

How did I root my “Full AOSP Rk29sdk”-MID 7-inch tablet (Android 4.0.3)
Hi Wingnut79 and others,
I have an Android 4.0.3 Tablet 7 inch, named "Full AOSP Rk29sdk" - and was also eager to root it....
After hours of search, trial and error, I succeeded.
My tablet is now fully rooted, and I can use ROM manager and all the aps for rooted android-devices....
How did I do that ?
I explain it here, in the attachment...
As you can see, my Windows is in the Dutch language, so I nevertheless hope everyone can understand what to do where...
I hope this can help...
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad!
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad! If u go on ebay u will see tons of tablets with ics 4.0.3. but the android on it it's a modified and weird version. I doublt it even is ics. One of my friends have it, and he cannot use the App Market, bcuz it said "Device not compatible with Market". Did u successfully downloaded stuff form the Market? If not, that maybe it's a piece of Chinese crap and u should call walmart for a refund.
It downloads apps from Android Market, Getjar, Amazon etc... just fine.
BAUDI--
I will try this later this afternoon, is it going to be an issue that my laptop OS is windows vista?
Mine tablet is a chinese tablet - but it's clearly really Android 4.0.3.
So, I also download and install applications from Playstore /Android Market/ etc.
It has Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS-AGPS, FM-radio,.... and evrything works really fine.
My sole problem was: no rootaccess (what I didn't understand, because it's "Android Open Source Project"...?)
Wingnut79,
as far as described in the guide I refer to, it works equally well on Vista. Just sometimes a little bit other name or place to find the properties or so - but should not be a problem at all.
I forgot to insist on the need to kill and restart adb after each change. I am not sure its really necessary each time, but I experencied that when I first thought "again nothing", it seemed well to work after "adb kill-server" and then "adb start-server"....
At some steps (I can't remember wich) I even rebooted my PC....
Now, everything works immediately...
So ROM Manager etc. works well, I have SuperUser... etc .
Good luck!

Just because it says it is 4.0.3 doesn't mean its pure AOSP. Remember that the China gov has its hands into a lot and there are things that they like to install on their devices to monitor the users and then close it up so it can't be changed.

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>adb backup -apk -shared -all -f /backup/mybackup.ab
adb: unable to connect for backup
So it sees the device but I can't backup?
[edit]Now I connect to the device, the 'adb reboot' command works and the device responds. it's just the backup command that is not working.
Please help

The thing is I don't have access on my tablet. It won't boot.
So I can't start an app from the tablet, or maybe I can?
I am working on building my first Android app, this app will allow me to use my phone with a USB device that will let my phone work as a remote for my TV.
I have already build my GUI layout and database, and they seem to be running good on my Note 2.
I am now stuck on trying to figure out how to connect this device to my phone.
The device I have is the USB IR Toy 2, here is the link
dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB_Infrared_Toy
Any help is welcome, I am using the Android SDK to build this app.
Once I am done I will post my code here for you all to use as you wish.
no responses?
Is this not possible?

hi guys i would like to root my phone but my lgp500 cant detect my computer i did a lot of search.but nothings work..
cant you help me?
btw..my phone was charging only and no popups so what should i do..?
thanks
The thing is that your computer must detect your phone, there are several mods to root your O1, go to FAQ or to android development repository, these are sticky threads and choose one method, but first read carefully and after try it. There it is explained in detail how to do it, all methods are safe and used by all people, so you do not need to care about it that it will brick your phone, just follow instructions exactly

If you have a driver still having problems use another port to plug in the cable.Remove from that and check on the other side of computer.If still does not run then have LG United Mobile Driver.
Mine is detected trough recovery mounting USB, but I pointed you to read FAQ, there it explains how to root without connecting to PC, use phone browser to download app for rooting, also install android SDK and LG USB driver, when you connect phone to PC it won't pop up any window until you tap on phone USB mass storage, also enable in settings, apps, development, android debugging, allow mock locations, go to device manager on PC and disable LG modem

Hi, by the way you are using LG P500 no?
Then did you try plugging into the other ports as well,like i have 3-4 ports.Even you have so first try that.
Do you have LG support tool? If you don't then go to this (http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP500) website and follow simple steps.In the 'download' section you will find 'update software & drivers in red'. Click that and follow the steps,very easy.( install for windows )
Still have problem then restart the computer and see
there are many ways to put an app like gingerbreake to sd card, even trough dropbox, bluetooth, wifi etc
but with you is to hard to make you understand to read sticky threads, maybe rooting an doing other things to your phone is better to... not to do it, first read, understand and after try it
read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149636 FAQ is ment to be read not to skip, here it explains how to, and what app with link to download, if you search playstore you will find XDA app, install it, log in, browse forum, download gingerbreack and run it from sd card
---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------
first try gingerbreacke, if doesn't work, if you had readed all STICKY THREADS, there is explained that you need to enable ADB on your phone(search what is it), disable LG modem in pc device manager and use one app like superoneclick that you find in rooting threads
hello..i tried different cord and port. still charging only..
about reading faq. ofcourse i read that already and i dont create a thread if found a solution..thats why i created a thread.
yes i enable usb debugging even mass storage..but nothing happen.
about gingerbreak it seems not work in 2.3.3 if any please give me.
thanks again
"Run "regedit"and select the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/MountedDevices" folder. See all the "Dos Devices" listed? You'll have one entry for each physically mounted drive (HDD or Disc) plus you'll have one show up for each USB drive you attempt to insert. Double click each device listed and seeifyou seetextsaying something like"U.S.B.S.T.O.R...". Once you find that device, right click it and select "Rename". Now change the drive letter to something unused... like Q: or something. Close regedit, disconnect the USB device and reconnect

it is not hardware, it is abouth something in phone drivers, download from phone browser root .apk and run it, after root you will have to install recovry, and boot into it, mount usb and your pc will detect your phone, works 100%, copy to sd card any custom rom that you will like and after that you can do anything you want(nearly anything)

But when searching the internet I can't find a single review or a guide to root it or any custom roms. Has anyone else purchased this tablet on black friday? or heard good or bad things? Any help how i could get root and flash a rom or atleast get play market? Thanks guys.
specs:
android 4.2
1.6 Ghz Dual-Core
Ram: 1gb/DDR3
Res:1024x600
Int Mem: *gb
Ext Mem: Micro Sd
I picked one up as well and also have been un able to find any info on how to root it or install Google play.

I also got one today but im hesitant to open it without reading a good review. How is the performance? Is it sluggish or does it respond well? I also just bought a sansung galaxy tab 3 7.0 and im disappointed because of how slow it is. Can anyone confirm the response of this tablet? I want to be sure thid time before I regret openning the bix. I searched for other sites and it doesnt seem to be one of the recognized models by android. Thats probably why theres no google play.does it allow installation of apps from other sources? Thanks for any review ir response!
I got a similar deal yesterday; Insignia Flex 8
Having the same problem with rooting. Seems like not many people try with these budget tablets.
What chip is it running?
I wonder if it's similar to the flex and maybe the same method will work for both?
PMID920 Root ?
PMID920 rooted !

Please do! I want to try it on the flex.
Try su in a terminal and make sure it works. Though I think you should be good root checker reports ok.
Root files
I take no credit for these programs and files
I used the modded usb windows drivers in file below to install
the drivers for the PMID920
I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 to root the device
selecting option one, and following the on screen instructions
it did not take the first time around, I tried every selection I could
I even un rooted via all methods, but every time it said success
I would check with root check pro and after about the 8th time the damn thing worked.
Try selection ( 1 new ) from the get go, maybe you wont have an issue like me
it kept looking for an ric file, but it would not create it, it seems to have worked
after I created the file.
Now we need recovery, google play, 4.4 kitkat, just messing !
Please post your results.
Edit; got gapps installed, this things turning out to be alright.
needs gps though !
Show some love and hit the thanks.
Seemed to Work for me on the first time.
Have you found any custom roms with Google play and the stock apps that work on it?
How did you guys get it to recognize your device?
Every time I try, it says "Please connect Device with USB Debugging to your computer"
My tablet is connected, with USB debugging on

Yeah, well, I just installed DPInst in the folder. Was there something else I should do?
Google play works
Google play works great with the stock ROM!
1 root device as above.
2 download JB gapps, unzip it on your PC and copy the system folder over to this device sdcard/download folder
3 find and install root explorer, copy apk to device and install, run it and click parent folder until you are in root directory
now click read write, instead of read only on the top left to give it permission to write files, navigate to sdcard/download where
the JB gapps system folder was copied, click copy with root explorer as paste it in your root directory where the system folder is,
it will ask you if you want to merge the folder click yes and let it finish, once done reboot your tablet and you will be prompted
to set up a Google account.
You now have Google play, Google tts, calander, voice search, gmail and a brand new toy!

What device are you trying to root the tablet from,
From a windows device you download and extract the USB driver files
you may need to run the driver setup as administrator, after install check
and see if you have adb device in control panel, system manager, it should not
have an exclamation sign on it, if you need lead device to driver folder.
Also try another USB port, and try to unplug the device and plug it back in when the program is looking for it.
Im returning mine, as i found at walmart they had a 10.1" tablet for $99 that had good reviews on amazon. This tablet seemed to be hit or miss for the 7 inch version after finding reviews on amazon. awesome that it was found how to find root, i just couldn't stand the screen as it seemed u had to be straight on with it or it was hard to see. for a extra $11 i figured i'd return in to menards and go with the 10.1" tablet. Here is the link for it.

any info on this one?
Is there any dedicated sites for tablets? as xda seems clearly for mobile devices..

Help please
I'm trying everything I have seen here but my 920 won't root, I get a deameon started message sometimes but nothing happens. I'm using a windows 7 machine, installed usb driver and still nothing. I've installed craynogen mod on a tab 2 10.1 and then this little tablet stumps me. Anything would be helpful. If you need more info just pm me.Thanks

I got this tablet just last night. I truthfully wouldn't mind if it couldn't access the market, except that the stock youtube player on the device doesn't seem to be able to play playlists, just single videos, it won't auto-play any playlists.
I've downloaded the android market (Gapps-2.3.4.zip) on the device and installed it, but whenever I try to open the market, it asks me to add an account, and clicking yes just closes back to the main screen.
I tried Lionideas (sp?) steps, downloading both the root by recovery and usb driver. I installed dpinst-32bit.exe, as well as running adb.exe (wasn't sure if both were necessary, or if any further steps are necessary.)
After that, I enabled USB debugging on the device (there's a notification on the top status bar that it's running), connected it to my PC, and ran the runme.bat file. Selecting option one, it tells me to connect a device with usb-debugging enabled, and halts there...as far as I can tell I've followed the steps, can anyone enlighten me?
