Our company bought new shiny ZiiO 7" to test some mobile aplications, but we are having trouble getting started. 'adb devices' shows empty list, but the device appears on 'lsusb' list (Bus 002 Device 007: ID 2350:0102) and we can access files by USB connection. We tried to set it up using standard steps (enable debugging, list devices, add vendor id, set permissions and restart adb server). We also tried several systems (Ubuntus and Windowses) and PCs. It's our first Creative device and first device with such problem.
So, is it known problem or maybe the device is broken? How to set up adb and device to work together on Ubuntu 10.04?
There's no ZiiO forum, so I posted here - hope it's ok.
i have the some problem, any ideas?
We managed to solve the problem. Here is what you should do on Ubuntu:
- add to xx-android.rules flowing line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="2350",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"
- restart udev
- add folowing line to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini:
0x2350
- restart server
We also have the solution for Windows and Mac.
this work fine with MAC OSx too.
Sorry to be a newb, can you tell me how I can edit the file? I am a bit rusty with this stuff. Thanks!

Could you please outline the solution for Windows?
Thanks in advance.
here you go:
- download and install Google USB driver
- open file android_winusb.inf from the driver's directory. Find section [Google.NTx86] (if you have 32-bit Windows) or [Google.NTamd64] (for 64-bit). At the end of the section, add the following lines:
; Creative Ziio 7"
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2350&PID_0102
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2350&PID_0102&MI_01
- find the device in Device Manager and update driver using previously installed USB driver
- add folowing line to %HOME/.android/adb_usb.ini:
0x2350
- restart server
you seem to be quite knowledgeable
so might be you know how to get permanent root on the ziio, I only get till temp root then tried this
F:\ADB>adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
# ./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
# busybox cp su /system/bin
busybox cp su /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# exit
exit
But I always get su: unknown id: root in adb shell and su: must be suid to work properly in terminal emulator
If you have an xbin or sbin folder try moving su there, then chmodding it. That's the method I used to root the android emulator. Link is in my sig if you think it might help you out/give you some ideas. The emulator lost root on reboot but that's because it was a virtual device, pretty sure a real phone wouldn't lose root on reboot.
OK gave it a shot but didn't work either. No x or sbin on the ziio to begin with. will try some more later..
Is there anyway we can hack the ZiiO and root it with Android 2.2 ourselves?
Is there any way to get market working on these things?
Just picked up one of these.Great little device but I really need root and/or Frodo.
Any developers working on these yet?
Just got ADB working following stawonogs instructions. Then I was able to get a temp shell root with SuperOneClick. The full root doesn't work because of a Mount issue.
When you adb shell into the device, if you're logged in as root then you'll see '#' instead of '$'.
I was then able to adb push the googleapps pack, including vending.apk. Rebooted the device, but it looks like googleapps.apk doesn't work right, so the setupwizard.apk never completes, so I removed it. Went through setup manually, using the Youtube.apk method. Gmail.apk still fails due to googleapps.apk failing.
When I try to run vending.apk, I get a "server unavailable" error.
I waiting for good news to complete root for newbies user. Thanks.
/sys/block
hey guys,
i just found some files on the tablet, which could cause the trouble.
/sys/block/
i tried to remove them, but wasn`t able to...
rm: cannot remove ´/sys/block/... : Operation not permitted
i think without these files the rooting and flashing of the ziio should be possible...
but i´m not an expert... ;-)
maybe one of you is able to remove them and tell us if it´s working?
greetings

This worked perfectly on my Windows PC to the extent that my Ziio now shows up when I run DDMS. BUT, I cannot get the screen image to show up. I get the message "Unable to get frame buffer: EOF."
Anyone know what's that's about?
I have the Ziio 7" as well. I can get temp root using SuperOneClick but am unable to turn it in to permanent root.
I'm willing to try things if anyone has ideas on how to make this work!

So, untill you shout down your device, you can use root apps? i got a ZiiO 7" yesterday, but its rather slow and needs root. Temp root would fix the issue for me i think, i just wont should it down.
add folowing line to %HOME/.android/adb_usb.ini:

Hello,
I have also hit this problem with Creative ZiiO 10 on Mac OS X 10.6.7. If you would be kind enough to share your Mac solution it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Required files:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/chainsdd-su.zip
Unzip chaindsdd-su.zip and then get a shell with adb
Code:
adb shell
Set up the dirs, so shell owns them prior to logging. If shell does not own them then we can not control them. If the logs dir already exists, you may have to do a factory reset to remove them. They should not exist unless someone attempted this previously.
Code:
mkdir /data/local/logs
mkdir /data/local/logs/kernel
Open emode's logset activity. First button should be for enabling log set, enable it. Do not exit the activity, but if you do just repeat the below command.
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.zte.emode/.logset
Confirm the log_kernel.txt file exists, if it does not wait a minute and check again.
Code:
ls -l /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt
If it exists, delete it and immediately symlink it to /data/local.prop, logset may recreate it, if it does delete and try symlinking again.
Code:
rm /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt
Now we want to wait for /data/local.prop to be created, it may take a minute or two. Keep checking until it exists.
Code:
ls -l /data/local.prop
Now once /data/local.prop exists, go back to the logset activity and disable logset. If you don't disable it, it will slowly eat away at all the disk space, and possibly overwrite the local.prop before you get root. Now lets set qemu=1 then reboot.
Code:
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
Once you have rebooted, remount, install su.
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
Clean up your mess!
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm -r /data/local/logs
Reboot, install the Superuser app from the market and enjoy
Code:
adb reboot
Might Not Work As Expected
I just tried this procedure from JCase at the RootzWiki dot com site with mixed results. The phone is a ZTE Merit Z990G from Straight Talk.
I went through all the steps and everything performed as expected. When I start start an app that requires superuser permissions, the app reports that the device has not been properly rooted. I have repeated the process as outlined four times, including downloading the SU file, and have the same results. Titanium Plus, Busy Box Pro and Root Check Basic report that the device is not rooted.
However, a couple of the Google apps - music, movies and reader seem to think the phone is rooted. Any ideas or suggestions will be very appreciated.

Sounds like band permissions on su, try
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su
if the permissions come out as "-rwsr-sr-x" then you are rooted, try updating su with the suepruser app, or finding a different copy of su.
If the permissions are different or it says it doesnt exist, then you need to repeat the instructions as you missed one or two

Thank you for the fast response. Here are the permissions for the SU file and based on what you are saying they look good:
C:\SDK>adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 22364 2012-06-17 12:47 su
I have located and downloaded a couple of "su" files from XDA and similar sites and the files are identical. I will continue searching for a different "su" file and see if that makes a difference.

I looked around and did not find any "su" files that were different than what I downloaded according to the root process. Just for grins I copied the "su" file from my Noot Tablet which is rooted and tried that file. Sadly, it did not make a difference.
Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide or if you would like me to try something else.
What happens when you open the Superuser app (note this is not supersu) and go to settings/options and attempt to update su?

I re-installed Superuser and Superuser Elite and now the phone says it's rooted. I've been in IT for over 35 years and it makes me nervous when software "magically" fixes itself. But now that it's working I won't question it and proceed from here. I appreciate your help and your effort.

Generally you have to run superuser once to get it to work I've found, at least recent builds (or maybe its recent android builds)
Problem.
Hello, i have followed this entirely but at parts it says "Access denied" when im on certain parts when i tryed to check if the Kernel log was there it said "access denied" same with some folders.
root or no root

the superuser app shows all blank under apps and logs, when i try to update it, it says "checking" for a few secs and then nothing... also wondering how to do a factory reset cuz if i didn't screw the phone up yet, i will thx in advance
Has you can see I'm new here. I'm old and retired I would love to root my ZTE Merit 2.3.5 but this is over my head.
I was wondering if there's any accomplished phone rooters in the NC area that would be willing to walk me through this or do this for me
I'd be more than willing to make a donation to make this happen,
custom recovery
I was wondering if someone would make q custom recovery for this phone because the stock recovery is really bad
Not working
I can't even get past step 2, I have the file installed and unzipped on both my computer and my smart phone. The only thing I can find to put in the codes is command prompt which says "error: device not found" when I type in adb shell. My ZTE Merit phone has very low internal memory due to all the retarded system apps that came on the phone, I would very much like some assistance removing them from my phone. I also downloaded superuser elite onto my phone and it doesn't show up with ANYTHING. The first page says
superuse v3.1.3(46)
tap to display changelog
elite installed
su binary not found
a check in the box "outdated binary notification
unchecked box, temp unroot (When tapped it does nothing)
unchecked box ota survival (Again when tapped it does nothing)
I scroll over to the apps section of the program and it says "No apps in list"
What am I doing wrong? This lack of space is quite irritating

omg I've wanted to root my phone. Thank you thank you! I thought I would brick my phone at first.
SIM Carrier unlock a ZTE Merit Z990G Straight Talk
I'm currently a T mobile prepaid customer and received the Merit from a friend of mine for doing some painting. I have looked for a month now and had a few unlock websites fail at attempting to unlock the phone via the IMEI (which the phone does have ). I have attempted to put my tmobile sim in the Merit but there is NO place to enter an unlock code. I really DONT wanna change my service to straight talk and would be willing to pay a decent amount to anyone that is capable of unlocking this phone for use with tmobile. If you think you have what it takes PM me and i will give you the IMEI and we can work out a deal. I challenge ANYONE achieve the impossible and get me the unlock code and a way to input it into the phone.
Cannot get local.prop
I have waited 20 minutes after trying to create the local.prop file and it simply won't create it. Any suggestions?

Can I root to my Newsmy T3 7" Android 4.0 Tablet?
what rom I have to download and where can I find it?
Please follow the sticky/announcement at the top of this forum and always include a thread title.
So far from my limited searching is haven for http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-q/28118-custom-roms-rockchip-based-tablets.html
Has a download link there for an rom install.

Ah sorry didn't realise t3 and t7 were different. As said just started research on this. The tablet is for my young daughter (under 3!) and it keeps her busy doing YouTube etc. Bought it a month ago but didn't decide to research and install a rom on it as it's been okay until I installed games on it this week and zaps battery.
I only know I got her a newsmy 7inch tablet,will look into what model heh. If it's a t3 I will look for it as well and let you know if I find one or will look into writing one as I've got back into coding after 6-7 year absence due to a motorbike injury.
Root for Newsmy T3
Hey Guys, I just got one of these tablets and I was able to root mine quickly by following the instructions on this forum.
http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?309-ROOT-TOOL-for-ICS-4-0-3
download link for files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1503729/RK2918_4.0_ROOT.rar
thanks Dave.S for posting it!
When I first tried to root mine I had some problems getting the correct drivers installed and I stumbled upon the Knives-and-Fork tool made by DieHappy that was very helpful and it sets up ADB nicely. http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?5008
Succesfully rooted my Newsmy T3
It is strange but this fine tablet (Newsmy T3) is poorly covered in the web. It has been very difficult to find any info about flashing or rooting it let alone finding the correct rom.
I just managed to root the device. It was not so easy as implied in some posts because adb shell was unable to copy superuser.apk and su to the revelant folders even after remounting system as rw. But it seems that this tablet comes with busybox preinstalled (even though as non routed, busybox cant work properly until you root the device). So when connected via adb shell you can copy the above files to system/app and /bin respectively by issuing the revelant busybox commands. In brief do the following:
1) Google for superuser.apk and su for ICS 4.0.4 and download the two files.
2) Send those files to your sdcard with adb (issue those 2 commands: adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk and adb push su /sdcard/su)
3) Go into console mode (adb shell) and issue the following commands:
4) su (gain original privileges)
5) mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system (This remounts the system folder as rw)
There is already a su file under system/xbin (or system/bin) on this device, now it is time to copy it on your sdcard as a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now with the help of busybox you can copy su and superuser to the desired locations...
6) busybox cp /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
7) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
8) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
Next, set the correct permissions for su:
9) busybox chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
10) busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
All ok now exit adb shell...
11) exit
At this point your newsmy T3 is already rooted and you can check it with any free software like rootcheck. Once checked, reboot the device and youre done.
Hope this helps.

[ROOT] [HOWTO] aigoPad M60 rooting script + generic su + generic usb driver
Hi.
I owned several aigoPad M60 bought from all over (to say it have slightly different ICS 4.0.3 revisions) and some I actually got them revisions by sending to service centre and flashed to a newer firmware.
Nevertheless, all of them can be rooted using this script (for Windows, 380 KB).
I actually rooted a Kindle Fire HD first using this script found on some chinese site (sorry I already forgot where I did so please pardon me for lack of credits). I cleaned up and englicised the whole thing, and updated the ADB tools to greater (and more compatible) version. Actually most ICS root scripts found everywhere are more or less the same.
So far, devices tested and succeded:
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD (ICS version)
- aigoPad M60 (ICS)
- Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100 & GT-I9100G) ICS and Jellybean (works on mine, both phones and both 4.0.3 and 4.1.2)
- Chinese Samsung Galaxy SIII clone (can't explain much since it's a bootleg, it has MTK board) (ICS)
- Several other chinese tablets which somehow lose it's root or not rooted (ICS): Momo.cn 3G, AMPE, MaPaN. Sorry didn't remember it's exact models anymore.
This script contains a batch file, ADB exe file and two API libraries, and a generic su found in chinese tablets. The su works up to certain level but it is preferred to replace that with SuperSU from chainfire (Superuser from chainsdd didn't work well on these ICS chinese tablets, for me. Not sure about koushik's). Just install and when it asks to replace binary, choose normal and tap yes.
You have to have installed USB driver first. I have uploaded the compatible USB ADB driver for most chinese phones and tablets (8.5 MB, have to be split into x32 and x64 since the forum doesn't allow 8MB+ attachments, if you're not sure, download both and merge the folders, overwriting duplicate files).
Note: The driver works on Windows XP, 7 and 8. On Win 7 and 8 you will have to disable driver signature verify in order to install. (Win 7: Boot, F8, Disable signature. Win 8: Setting, Change PC Settings, General, Advanced Startup, look for Disable signature)
Those who already have ADB and drivers installed, here it is (simplified form of the actual script):
Windows (no need admin for ADB, just for driver installation):
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb kill-server
Linux:
Same
Tip: If you want to, you don't have to download anything. Just copy+paste the script. But make sure you have su in current directory. You can get chainfire's su from SuperSU.apk (assets\supersu.arm.png, rename it to su).
Careful though, this copy+paste script lacks safety measures compared to the one in the archive, such as it doesn't check if the rooting is a success or not, but the script inside archive will prompt you first before wiping /data/local/tmp ...
Note: What I mean by the su works 'up to certain level' is, it doesn't accept command lines such as su -c command. Also you will have to replace it with a proper superuser app (SuperSU, Superuser) if you want to use Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher and so on...
i juz purchase one for my kids to play games and i google on how to root the aigopad m60, it took me here.
Many thanks for the guide, i succesfully root it.

Here we have 2 scenarios; the first is easy and the second is salty..!!
I hope you got the first scenario; since the second one is handy..!!!
The first scenario: you got custom recovery too:
If so, just get cwm SuperSU from here and flash it in cwm.
Other scenario if you didn't had custom recovery:
- Keep the previous root.
- Download SuperSU with su binary from same thread in previous scenario.
- Extract the content in a folder (we will call it SS so you could follow the procedure) and move it to your sdcard. The SS folder contains su and Superuser.apk).
- Download Terminal Emulator from Google play.
- Open Terminal Emulator and write this code:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
dd if=/sdcard/SS/su of=/system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
Remember to hit enter in between those lines. Don't close Terminal Emulator now, just hit home button to minimize it.
- Now by any root explorer, go to /system/app and delete the Chinese superuser (don't do normal uninstall, you need to delete the apk from /system/app).
- Return back to Terminal Emulator which is still running and write these codes:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/SS/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
- Now reboot your device.
Is there any easy method Coz I'm beginner in programming.....
Please help me I don't understand which file to download from previous scenario as I open the thread I don't understand which file to download... if you can share the link..
Thanks in advance.
