My mate has bought this Android set top box made my Strong. Model number is NRT-4
Seems to be running very generic vanilla ICS but he want's to run an app on both phone and STB which allows him to control the STB from his phone but the STB server app requires root.
No threads exist here for it so I guess no one has any confirmed method for rooting it yet. Is there a method for rooting generic android devices? It requires SU and Busybox. Cheers
Sorry my englisch is not that great and could you provide a picture of it or a link?
Then maybe I could help you

Hi guys, great forum btw.
I have an ainol novo8 discover, (a supposed quadcore ipad mini alternative)
I really need a new rom for this device as the stock firmware is terrible. However search as I mite I can find nothing.
The device is rooted and using es file explorer I tried to remove the bloatwarw, to no avail, uninstall unsuccessful is what im greeted by.
My first question is how do I uninstall these apps? I have dissabled them through settings-apps but I want them gone completely.
My second question is where do I start when working on a new rom for a device? Please note that ainol have yet to release the source code for the ainol discover.
Anyway guys thank you all for your time and patience, and please be aware im a newbie to all this so please do try to simplify your answers.

What a shame.

You have to give some time for people to reply lol, check out Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall everything is you want.
in the upper right is a box "Type to find your device" put your device in there and it will take you to your phone, from there you can access the info you are looking for.
Fair point, sorry.
Just very frustrating device.
Ainol havent released there firmware yet anyway so I guess theres no way of creating a rom without it.
Thankyou btw for mentioning rom toolbox, with that es file manager and a factory data reset I managed to get rid of all of the bloatware (that I know of ) off the device.

What i know so far
Bootloader can be accessed with Rkflashkit by unplugging and powering off the device, holding volume-up and plugging it back in. Screen will remain black but you should see the device address appear in Rktool telling you it has powered up.
This method will work with Linux, idk if the tool is available for windows
I also found an alternative to the asian rooting method by using Rkflash to flash a rooted system.img(adb remains not fully rooted)
Every attemps i made at modifying the stock boot.img got me stuck in a bootloop.
We can also use Rkflash to flash recoveries but will need to disable the install-recovery.sh script first, otherwise stock recovery just gets flashed back on reboot.
My Cwm build did not work. Device did not seem to boot
I have not tried flashing kernel yet.
Python sent me a PM with a link to cwm builds for devices similar to ours and i tested some. Some of them does not seem to boot, some others get the screen to light up with no graphics. I did not make it halfway through the list yet, i will continue testing hoping to find one that works when i have more free time
He also pointed out we can use FlashGordon to flash recoveries from our device however they need to be in .zip format. I have tried and can confirm this works.
I will also try to upload my rooted system.img file somewhere later this week for those who seeks an alternative to the asian method
Rkflashkit can be found here https://github.com/linuxerwang/rkflashkit
FlashGordon clan be found on playstore

Stock rooted system.img can be found here in the img folder :

Also disabled the install-recovery.sh script
This if for a Hp Slate 7 2800 by the way
any news ???? i have asked on hp forums for the kernel source but no answer :/
well, not on my side i guess. i've been able to flash recoveries using rkflashtool, but i have not found one that works with the slate yet, i found some that boots without powering the screen, some that boots and lights a black screen, some others with a flickering white screen, some just doesn't boot at all. so far im trying to organize them and see what the booting builds have in common, maybe we could use them as a base or something.
Yesterday I realized I can't send or receive files by bluetooth, am I the only one with this problem?

I don't think Hp will release their sources to be honest, I already sent them an email about something similar and the only thing I got after a 3 months wait was a lot of spam from them in the junkbox asking me to buy a laptop, ink cartridges and stuff like that, so i guess we're on our own and should not expect any support from hp.

i will recive mine in 10 days so i cant do notthing yet and i dont know about BT
do you thing if we make a petition for the souce code it will make direrence ???
I don't know, depends on how many signatures we can get I guess. Still, I doubt Hp will do it.

but supposedly they have to because of GPL ... i think i will make a new thread on hp forums every day until they anwser lol
I think Gpl only applies to stock linux kernel, and since Hp modified it a bit they're not forced to publish it. It would speed up aftermarket development so much if they did though. This is my first Hp product and honestly, I regret buying it, not that the tablet isn't good, but the lack of infos and support, that makes me regret not spending 20 more bucks to get a Nexus 7

i havent recieved it yet but i got mine for 65gbp so it was cheap but im starting to regred it too because thera are no source
but i think they are violating gpl license... i read a bit on wikipedia about it so they are obligated to realease the kernel code ...
but one more time i dont have a complete sure about this
Any news?? I got mine yesterday .. I will try to make a working recovery
Sent from my HP Slate 7 using xda app-developers app

I read some guys on the Hp forums are running 4.2/4.3 but wifi was not working last time I checked, i did not see anything about Cwm. Did Hp release their source yet?

Your recovery didn't work for me buddy.
To disable /etc/install-recovery.sh i just commented some lines in it.
Cwm source is for some Samsung device I think, it would still need some modifications to get it working on the Slate, I guess, I might be wrong too as i'm still a noob into all this

Hello guys, here's another desperate soul that had bought this piece of hardware and can't let it do what I'm supposed it has to.
Last update (I received it yesterday) brought the tablet to version 1.05.10_user and the bug allowing the root access via cydia's impactor has been fixed. That's enough for me: this device needs to be studied and made free.

how would i flash this to my hp slate 7 ?
Does anyone knows a build of xbmc That I can use with our xoom?
I am using 4.4.3 cyano
Thanks in advance for any answer
Sent from my Xoom Wifi using XDA Free mobile app
the only version of xbmc that worked on the xoom reasonably reliable is in the dev secition that you have already posted in.
Read the thread from the start and install the correct files and you may get it working.
Development was ended for tegra 2 chipsets a good while ago (pre gotham) so no more updates unless someone can rebuld the gotham tree with tegra 2 support.
Chris
Sorry about the duplicated thread. I could not install that version of xbmc..
I am trying to find a version that workshop, but no luck at all.
If you want to delete the thread go for it.

I read a piece of news.A man two days after Google released Lollipop source code to run on his phone. How did he do it?
I have seen many reports， directly flash other Rom had broken. So what the steps to make a usable rom ?
Thank you.
