I'm looking into no name Android tablets. They will usually have wifi, usb and run Android 1.5 or 1.6. None have access to the Market....
Few things:
1) Is it possible to transfer Apps from Nexus to a tablet via usb?
2) Many are defaulted to the Asian language, can font English be installed?
3) Can these be rooted or have custom ROM installed?
Anybody has any of these?
I think that the title says it all, how can one root a chinese tablet that is unbranded or how can one root a new device on the market some samsung or HTC device ?

Title says: i didnt ask specific question about tablet model.
Few tips:
If you know exactly model of device, first search forum for section with this model and then read post abput rooting.
If you cant find model/models of tablet which you wanna learn to root or wanna ask that describe you procedure then change title to:" Need help to root this xxx(<--type here tablet model) "
I dont own a tablet yet, i want to know how do you root a thing that noone has rooted before you

Ok... so anyone up for rooting a chinese tablet? Got a Colortab-MID that according to the android system app is manufactured by WonderMedia and has an ARMv7 chip. PC at first recognized as Samsung S but after downloading android apk for 4.0.3 it connects with adb. Superoneclik said it was roted but somehow I cannot get superuser on. Went into the shell with adb and cannot change to su nor can I ask to "remount" the system as rw.
Any ideas?

Well I doubt its rooted then. Can you do a "adb remount"? Without any extra tags.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nope. Got a "remount failed: operation not permitted" error message
Installed from play store link2sd, superuser and root explorer. Of course root explorer does not mount rw so surely not rooted.
To append more information. I've already tried:
Unlock Root ver 3.0 - says failed to get shell root
DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su - basically says the same thing, it even asks if already root
Cube Root for ICS 4.0.3 - experimented for the heck of it with this script but no gain
185_root_script - Found that this is for GB apparently
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse - this version is apparently the latest but again no gain
It seems that all find that shell root cannot be obtained or that adb remount does not happen

Ok, got the 10" tablet rooted
So. After crawling around for about 3 days with google, and in XDA and flashmyandroid forums I found something that works with my chinese tablet. Bloody thing doesn´t let me put links so I´ll tell you what and how I found the needed file.
The file I used is named "Android_Root_1.0.zip" and I found it by plugging in "root" "tablet" and "generic" in XDA forum search. There is a forum by the name "[Q] Obtaining root on generic tablet" in which post #25 has a link for the file.
Just make sure of the following:
1) That the tablet is charged, has off-market apps allowed and USB debugging selected
2) When the tablet connects you use the USB drivers supplied in the Android SDK (I used ver 20.0.1). How to use such drivers is especially important for these "generic" tablets, just follow the instructions in other posts for changing the drivers. My tablet was recognized as a Samsung Galaxy S by Win7, which of course it is not.
3) Download, extract the archive and double click on the *.bat file
**Make sure you always wait for the tablet to reboot before pressing keys as instructed**
4) Voilá, if all goes well you should have a rooted tablet.
Information of use to all crawlers:
Manufacturer: WonderMedia
Country: China
Model: ColorTab-MID (10" screen)
Processor: ARMv7 rev(0)
Android: 4.0.3
Bought in Mexico from a SuperFin sale (similar to a cyberMonday in the USA)
P.s. now I'm going to try with my wife's... same mfgr but with a 7" screen. Need to check the processor though.
Hey guys, I just bought a new model of a 7inch Genesis Tablet. The model is GT-7240. Do you think the method that is used to root another 7inch model of same brand would work for my GT-7240 without bricking risks?
Thanks in advance! I'm really looking forward to having my tablet rooted.

The process I described for rooting my 10" generic chinese tablet I followed exactly for my wife's 7" tablet and it worked. I think my wife's is a wm8950 based tablet that is arm cortex a8 while mine is a wm8850 which is arm cortex a9. Mind, the ICS is somewhat different in each one but both "rooted" correctly without much fuss.

Ok here goes what I remember of how it goes. You need to be able to access the tablet from your computer and being that it is a chinese one that means that you will need the Android SDK because it has the USB driver. First off you need to go to java (at their website) and download and install the JDK (java development kit which you can find at www dot oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html). Once that installation is finished you need to download the Android SDK (you can find it at developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) which is in zip format. Unzip and take note of the folder. Navigate to that folder and double click on the SDK manager file. When the window opens make sure that all Android 4.0.3 boxes are selected (under Android 4.0.3 section) as well as the boxes from Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools Under tools section) and the Google USB driver (under extras). Once the software is downloaded and installed restart your pc (just to make sure that all is well).
On your tablet make sure that USB debugging is selected (under settings) and connect your tablet to the PC. Regardless of what happens you will need to change the drivers the PC uses to connect to those in what you downloaded. Go to control panel, hardware then hardware manager and look for the tablet... it either will have incorrectly assigned drivers (mine were Nexus S drivers) or it will have a ! meaning that no appropriate drivers were found. Right click on the assigned name and then click on update drivers. Follow prompts to update from disk and navigate to the USB folder you created under the Android SDK installation folder.
Once that is done then download the file I mentioned in the link above. It will come in a zip file so unzip and take note of the folder. Navigate to the folder and double click on the **.bat file. It might happen that you have a DOS error which says that it did not find ADB. You will have to add the ***\tools folder of the Android SDK installation folder to the system path in the environmental variables (if you don´t know how just follow the instructions in java.com/en/download/help/path.xml).
Be carefull to always wait for the tablet to restart and be "seen" by windows after each key press once you double clicked on the **.bat file. You can leave the Hardware Manager box open and keep on eye on the tablet appearing there.
So... were these pointers enough? LOL being a bit sarcastic. Have fun.
Hello,
I wanted to post this in the ride category but i don't have access to post it there.
I have a Samsung np540 touch and i want to install android 4.0 ore 4.2 Dual boot.
On XDA developers there was an application to make it dual-boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37832955
I tried it with 3 different images. The one recommended for asus eeepc and 2 others.
But with all of them i get the same error.
File:
\ANDROID\boot\grldr.mbr
file not found or couldn't load
I also tried to start android from a usb stick, but i can't start from usb with this laptop.
I think this is because the new boot application UEFI.
Best regards,
Rudy Coppens
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this community (as well as these activities i.e. flashing, modding etc..), but i have been following up on threads and topics for about 2 months..
i was obsessed with changing my N8000's OS, and I've found here a lot of Mods and stuff like Cyanogen Mod and OmniRom and others
but i decided to try out Ubuntu.
So far, i have found 2 main topics about installing Ubuntu on N8000, first one by mamenyaka about Ubuntu touch, and the other is X-Stranger's about Ubuntu (the PC version I Guess..),
However, i have a bunch of questions regarding installation and features, so please be patient with my n00bness! and Thanks in Advance...
(if this thread gets solved, I think it can perhaps be used as a "newbie FAQs")
1st of all i have a note 10.1 N8000 running stock JB , and I have about 3.5 GB free
These Questions are based upon procedures and infos in mamenyanka's thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168999
1- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)
2- Do i have to have Cyanogen Mod installed on My device in order to install Ubuntu?
3- Do i have to Root the Device?
4- Can i Dual Boot this or install on SD?
5- Sound doesnt Work? u mean speakers aint detected? can it be usable if i plug the headphones?
6- Cellular Radio doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?
7- What about Play store and its Apps?
8- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?
9- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?
10- What is the best Tool for Backing up? (my device is untouched since buying i.e. didnt do any kind of Modding)
11- Does the backup save my entire data (Apps,games,savegames,notes,contacts,gallery,sounds etc.)
12- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?
And these questions are based upon X-Stranger's Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554959
1- What kind of ubuntu is this?
2- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)
3- Can i DualBoot this or install on SD?
4- Does the sound work here?
5- 3G doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?
6- What about Play store and its Apps?
7- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?
8- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?
9- What is the recovery.img file, what is the custom and the native recovery.img, and what does the "menus" stand for?
10- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?
A Yes/No answer would be enough for most of these questions..
Thanks Again
