EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

Thank for this tutorial.
My milestone works fine so far, but 3g mobile hotspot and wireless tether not working.
Flash on milestone is so cool

something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

This could be for any reason try this
-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

have you tried re downloading the files and doing all over again?, it could be a broken file
thats why i tell devs and chefs they should add an MD5 sum to their files larger than 20MB some errors are caused by just having downloaded broken files

Root phone from the GOT OR menu doesn't seem to actually root my phone (2.2.1 UK version)
Superuser whitelist app FCs instead of prompting to allow access. Have tried using Better Terminal for root access & also Wireless Tether app.
Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Do any of the 1-click root apps still work with this build of Froyo? Which can we use?

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me

I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.

i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd
can you help me?

[ROM][Deprecated]Lenovo Vibe Z - Rooted + Google Apps

Well, some of you might have had the same urge to buy one of these little wonder with almost the same data sheet than a LG G2 but with a Dual SIM functionality and at a much smaller price. If you are one of these crazy people that ordered their in China just like me, you might have the same disappointment that I felt when I finally received mine: the advertised SD Card slot is just a fantasy and all Google apps have been replaced by their Baidu counterparts. If the English language is indeed present in the Operating System, none of the installed application seems to understand this language. If you just don't speak Chinese just like me, you might end up wondering why on earth you bought a smartphone destined to Chinese people.
So I decided to turn this frustration into something positive and succeeded so I'm happy to bring you my home cooked ROM for the Lenovo K910. But first of all, the usual disclaimer:
Disclaimer
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone. This method have been successfully tested on mine but this is no guarantee for yours. You should obviously always have a backup of your data at all time if you're willing to install this ROM (or any other).
Safety measures
Like most Android phones, the Lenovo Vibe Z have many possibilities of recovery. I would advise you to be ready to apply at least this one:
Download the QSB file of your ROM (for example, mine is K910_SS_S_2_040_0039_131101.qsb). Google will point you to a Baidu site where it is downloadable
Put it in the folder /sdcard/SDFUSE/
Shut down your phone
Hold Volume Down and Power button for a few seconds
You end up in a menu with a "SD Card Update" entry. Move down to this entry using the Volume Down button then press ENTER or power button.
Make sure your ROM is available in the list
Cancel and reboot
If your QSB file is visible in the list, you should be pretty safe. If anything goes wrong, use the same method but apply the upgrade this time. Note that this method overwrite everything included your applications, SD Card, ...
What it is
The ROM I'm offering is:
An extract from K910_SS_S_2_040_0039_131101.qsb
Applying only to your system partition (your applications and data should be safe)
Rooted
Busybox-ed
Grossly freed from most vendor applications
Replaced by Google applications
What it is NOT
This was already some work to figure out how to reach that goal so it is not:
Bug free (I have at least observed a strange display glitch for the network icons which turn standard blue instead of Lenovo's white one)
A multi-language ROM
A ROM build from scratch like MIUI, Cyanogenmod, ...
A custom recovery (though this might come in a later stage)
...
Prerequisite
You should have installed:
K910 ADB Driver (available on the CD that appear when you connect the device)
ADB
Fastboot
Just check that your USB debug mode is enabled (in the USB Access Mode menu).
In any of these prerequisite is an issue for you, I'm ready to explain you further but you should also wonder if you are ready to go further because if anything goes wrong, you won't be able to properly act.
The installation
OK, enough talking, now some action. It is pretty simple actually:
Download the ROM and un-7zip it (mirroring in progress)
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Therefore, open a command prompt (no matter which OS you're using) and type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now your phone is displaying the Lenovo logo
Check that you can access the system
Code:
fastboot devices
If fastboot just return displaying nothing, you might have to run in Administrator/root mode. Under Linux, I had to use sudo.
Unlock the bootloader (this should wipe all your data if it wasn't unlocked previously):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Flash the system:
Code:
fastboot flash system <path-to-file>system.img
Reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
That's all folks ! After your phone restarts, you should be able to use Google applications (though not all of them are there, at least the Play Store is allowing you to install the others).
What's next ?
I hope to be able to free some time to achieve these next steps:
Publish the script I wrote to extract content from Lenovo QSB files
Apply the same method to the last upgrade (K910_SS_S_2_040_0078_131203 ?). If you are lucky enough to have this version please contact me to see if you can provide the QSB file.
See if I can cook a custom recovery.
This is probably my very first participation to the community so I'll accept any comments as long as they are constructive :good:

Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much, I'm crazy because I get the phone and to try, where is the link to download please??
Thanks again, you can post pictures?

Another important question ... How did you rooteado?
What program did you use?
Thanks.
All need you help please.

I'll need just a few more hours since my upload just missed (I'm not sure why it only uploaded 437 Mb on the 659 Mb)
It will be for the first hours of 2014 (at least for me).

Probably in the most complicated way possible: I extracted the system partition from the upgrade file, mounted it in my Linux, put all the needed files and authorization then flashed it on my device.
I confirm that the file is now available but I need a few more messages before I can add the link. In the meanwhile, I can send it privately.

Sure I get it, I also took little time here and leaves add links.
You could pass it private?
With your permission I'll share it on other sites of course directing people to this thread so they can see their creator and comment.
In several HTCMania we are waiting to receive the phone and while we're compiling everything.
Root on many threads where people are wanting to get and so far you're the only one.

I await your email with the link partner, and with your permission I'll share. A greeting.

This means that next upgrade will most probably erase all the content of your phone (again) included your data and internal SD Card. This also means that flashing the first version of my custom ROM will make you "lose" 500 Mb, at least until a release based on the latest version of Lenovo's original ROM.
This also mean that:
Next Custom ROM upgrade won't be applicable to the not upgraded phone (you would be certain of bricking your phone)
You will lost 500 Mb worth of storage on your non expandable device
This isn't all good news ...

They are not good news. but I honestly what I need are 3 things:
1 Language Spanish, but we already you can not imagine not doing anything?
2 Root, to be able to use apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc..
3 Very importantly, GAPPS (Play Store, Gmail), but of course in Spanish or English.
Your Rom has 2 I need and it is very important to me and very many users, it is a great job and the first to do so was you.
I do not mind losing 500mb, but I worry that the next official update is dangerous for us.
Thank you very much for sharing the link. If you write more answers in this thread at XDA have permission to put the link publicly, I think the requirement is 10 responses and almost have them.

You control by private (Because here I can not yet) a link to the version you want, I found on google, as I said I have not tested, I hope that this can do wonders lol
I also hope that I root Gapps and either Spanish or English: D

The few post I read about this are telling that it is close to impossible but I installed morelocale 2 on mine and it does add my language in the application that supports it.
Root is probably my top priority so it will stay available in the future releases
Play Store and GMail are present in the ROM and if you install morelocale 2, it will be in Spanish

Of course, the priority is Root.
About the Gapps in Spanish or Englis, the could include a patch?
If not, do not worry that you use MoreLocale2.
I'll try to find more links ... it's a shame it does not work ...

The good news with root access is that you can do a lot of crazy things. For example, I'm starting to understand why it is so hard to get this upgrade thanks to a network dump:
Code:
POST /reaper/server/config2 HTTP/1.1
Host: fsr.lenovomm.com
Content-Length: 131
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable: [B][COLOR="Red"]Back-end server is at capacity[/COLOR][/B]
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
That said, I'm sick of coming close to the end and receiving a connection time out

Patience friend, I do not really understand how you could do, but I'm sure you will. Good luck ...

This should work since the system it pretty much self contained but since I haven't tested it, I really can't be sure. Furthermore, this is a downgrade of your system.
If you have this version, could you check if you still have the image on your sdcard? This could be in folder /sdcard/lenovoota.

ok, here's the deal:
1. I tried to push system.img but no working, adb respond "failed: targed locked".
2. I don't have the ota file anymore BUT I have the K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.qsb file. I poot this one in sdfuse folder and updated already before starting procedure with adb from above as you described, no problem just flashed it, btw it wipes everything.
So, my opinions:
1. Locked target issue could be determined by the bootloader beeing locked? Don't we need to unlock it somehow?
2. Can you reinsert root and gapps in this newer version K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.qsb file?
3. How do you decompiled .qsbfile ?
Waiting for your feedback asap.
Respect.
Obs:
- we can use android-aio-flasher just to substitute from working with cmd commands... just sayin', works for me.
- reboot in recovery command doesn't work, just adb reboot bootloader, then lenovo logo appears.
- correct command for pushing system.img is adb fastboot flash system path to system.img.

ok, here's the deal:
1. I tried to push system.img but no working, adb respond "failed: targed locked".

Just to be sure, is it an answer from adb or fastboot?

2. I don't have the ota file anymore BUT I have the K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.qsb file. I poot this one in sdfuse folder and updated already before starting procedure with adb from above as you described, no problem just flashed it, btw it wipes everything.

So, my opinions:
1. Locked target issue could be determined by the bootloader beeing locked? Don't we need to unlock it somehow?

I had nothing to do but I did restart a few time with a custom boot.img that I never actually flashed. Maybe this helped?

You are right. I didn't know about android-auto-flasher, probably because I'm running Linux (which made my task easier to cook the ROM since the system partition can be mourned like any other).
I edited my first post with your correction and the link since I have now 10 messages on the board !

Well who are finding out that important things. Hopefully soon have new developments. I keep watching your work. I hope that more and more we are, I have put in all the sites I've found this link for more developers to come.

Asus The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2 Thread

Hi,
Since I didn't find a thread for The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2, decided to create this thread.
Hopefully this top device gets noticed by developers.

Any MOD for audio? Low handset speaker volume?
As you might noticed, the speaker volume (notifications, ringtones, etc.) of NPFI handset is pretty low even when all volume sliders are maxed out and audio wizard is set to "Music".
I have a rooted device and installed Alsa Mixer from Play Store and tweaked the parameter "RX7 Digital Volume" from within the app. Changed default value of 85 to 100 and was pleased to get a noticeably louder speaker volume. Problem is that the value resets almost instantly and volume level gets back to its default value. Probably because Alsa Mixer installs its own audio driver (alsa amixer) which uses a separate system for assigning values and there is a protection system in place by Asus I think.
I also played with parameters in files below (residing in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm) - tweaked the RX7, RX1, RX2, etc...
snd_soc_msm_Taiko
snd_soc_apq_Taiko_DB
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Fluid
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Liquid
saved and reboot, but it didn't make a difference. So anyone has any idea to share?
P. S. As far as I know the audio engine for NPFI is designed by Wave and is called MaxxAudio, Is it possible that it has something to do with that?

Thank you for making much needed forum.
Hopefully soon there will be gathered all the essentials.

hi there, thanks for the update :good:

Hmm nothing major...
I wonder why the New Padfone Infinity has to wait the longest to get the latest version of Android...

Kingoapp
Kingoapp worked ok for me for root.
I had to reboot phone and a PC after a driver install, but that's ok.
Is there a sub forum for PadFones? Would be nice to have a place for this stuff.
There are some other places for PFs.

The new update 10.12.3.130 has a bug. Apparently Asus is working to fix the bug. Don't panic. Hopefully a bug fix will be released soon.

Now I wonder how ASUS ZenFone 6 works...

Still waiting on that 130 fix... wondering if there just ignoring it and going to wait until ZenUI is ready

I must say I share your doubt. Possibly they are working on KitKat for NPFI, and ignoring the fix for now. Disappointing customer support management!

Its a shame that theres no developer support for the A86. Such a great device with no custom roms

KIT KAT Released for NPFI
Finally Asus released firmware update 11.2.5.12 for NPFI which updates its android version to 4.4.2
Download links are available at Support section of your device in Asus website.

Yes, I downloaded it and had mine updated, mine you all, 4.4.x has a known issue, that is all 3rd party apps cannot write to external SD, unless you root it and apply the fix, then either leave it as rooted or unroot it again.

Root 4.4.2 - Build: 11.2.5.26 (TW)
Hi
Just got one of these and it has recently updated from .20 to .26 and now I cant root it? Any ideas?
Is there a way of downgrading back to .20?
Thanks

Rooting Firmware 12.4.0.59 - Android 5.0.2 - A86
This post is copied from my own thread in padfoneclub.com so there is no case of stealing
If you want to copy this post on other forums please do not forget to give due credits to original poster.
Disclaimer! The procedure described below has the potential of rendering your phone useless if not followed properly. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHAT SO EVER, IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEED AT OWN RISK!
This method is tested by downgrading firmware 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, which in turn needs a factory reset/ wipe data/ cache/ afterwards. Before anything else back up your important data (ie. contacts, messages, app data, etc) to some place safe outside your phone. ORIGINAL RECOVERY of your phone will be replaced by TWRP recovery
Preparation: (BEFORE ANYTHING REMOVE YOUR SIM CARD AND MICRO SD)
1. You must have USB debugging enabled, allow mock locations (developer options menu in settings)
2. You must have UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled (security menu in settings)
3. To be on the safe side I recommend you disable VERIFY APPS OVER USB, in developer options menu. You can re enable everything after the job is done.
4. You need to download firmware 11.2.5.26, and 12.4.0.59 according to your phone SKU and save it on your computer.
5. Download WINRAR or any archiving software which is able to modify zip files and install it on your computer.
6. Download unofficial TWRP ver 2.7.1.1 ONLY from this link, and save to your computer
7. Download BETA SUPER SU 2.49 from here, and save it to your computer.
8. If you are on firmware, 11.2.5.26, or 11.2.5.30 and rooted you are half way done, if not either you have to upgrade or downgrade depending on the firmware that now you are on. For example if you already upgraded to 12.4.0.59 you need to downgrade first and root, then proceed. There's a thread in padfoneclub which comprehensively discusses way to root Kit Kat firmware so I skip to just explaining downgrade procedure from 12.4.0.59.
9. To downgrade from 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, you do it in the usual way from recovery except you need to factory reset/wipe data/ wipe cache via recovery beforehand. REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR MICRO SD FIRST AND THEN WIPE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA ON MICRO SD AS WELL! After wipe, reboot your phone and place the 11.2.5.26 zip in the root of your sd card by transferring downloaded zip from your PC.
10. Downgrade by choosing "apply update from sd card menu item" in recovery and selecting the zip file you just transferred to your phone. Remember to have at least 70% charge on your battery before downgrade or upgrade.
11. After the downgrade process completes your phone reboots, if it is stuck in ASUS logo for a long time (more than 10 min), switch off your phone by pressing and holding power button. Then reboot into recovery again do another factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache and reboot again. Now everything will be OK and your phone boots to initial KK setup. proceed until you are on the home screen. reboot your phone again.
12. make sure that items explained in step 1-3 are checked and unchecked accordingly.
13. Root your phone by your desired method.
NOW THE IMPORTANT STEPS TO UPGRADE TO A ROOTED ANDROID L 12.4.0.59
1. On your PC replace the "recovery.img" in the zip file for Firmware 12.4.0.59 with TWRP recovery that you just downloaded. Both have the same name and it is a simple case of drag and drop into zip file.
2. Now you have 3 important file:
- The modified 12.4.0.59
- The TWRP recovery you downloaded (recovery.img)
- The beta Super SU 2.49
Copy all 3 file to the root of your sd card in your phone.
3. Install "Terminal Emulator" from Play Store, open the terminal and give it root permissions if needed.
4. Type su
5. Then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096; sync;
(you can copy paste to rule out any typing mistake)
6. After executing the command a number of bytes transfers and the results will display in terminal window. close the window and reboot into recovery as usual, except this time you have TWRP recovery instead of original Asus recovery.
7. Go to "Install" button and select the modified 12.4.0.59 from your sdcard, uncheck "zip file signature verification" then "add more zips" and select beta super su 2.49. zip as well, then swipe to confirm flash.
8. If everything goes according to plan your phone will be flashed with the new firmware and rooted at the same time.
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. I tried this method on my phone and it all went smoothly, but in case you get errors, you have to figure it out yourself, I WONT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU! AGAIN BE CAUTIOUS, FOLLOW STEPS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

(Q) How to root Mediapad X2?

EDIT
i also tried srs one click root..went through several reboots,,,and said at the end the rooting was a success and that superuser apk was installed..but it wasn't
may have a go at it again later..(it came up with a message to accept and i missed it and it timed out on me)

Unlock is required before trying any root method.

use below URL to apply for unlock code:
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply
It's a Chinese web page, but easy to guess.
If the web page doesn't work, take a snapshot of the phone box with IMEI and SN number, send to [email protected] requesting for unlock code.
They'll reply in 2~4 weeks, too slow. An email with 16 number unlock code.
Use fastboot unlock OEM to unlock the bootloader.
Root and 3rd party recovery is only possible after the unlock.

For now, you cannot unlock even if you get the code

I unlocked bootloader , but the root can not be done any program .

I did unlock and someone showed that the root genius can root the phone via adb command.
The bad news is that I can't install the adb driver somehow

Root genius can not handle it . I can not install any CWM recovery. Maybe someone has any advice ?

Just send Huawei an Email with your IMEI #, Model Number, Serial Number and Product Number telling them you keep getting an error when trying to unlock your phone from their website. That's what I did. Of course you need to be unlocked before you can do any of the following.
-Make sure you have the drivers installed for the phone
-Plug the USB cable into the computer and into the phone
-Turn phone off and while turning it back on hold volume down and phone will enter download mode
-Download Android Platform tools from my Dropbox I made it easier for everyone. (The super_bootb013.apk file is included)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7dgdl6r2nftz5mt/AABvdjdt4a4zRNAsSE1QR2Oaa?dl=0
-Right click on the Android Platform Tools folder while holding in Shift and select Open Command Window Here
-When the command prompt opens type in fastboot flash boot super_boot.b013.img
-After it finishes, type in fastboot reboot. The phone will boot normally.
-Then you have two options. Download SuperSU from the Google Play Store, install it, open up and update the binary if it prompts you.
or
-Included in my Android Platform Tools folder is the Superuser.apk file. Just install that manually, then open it and update the binaries. When you reboot you will be rooted. This works on B013 only.
-I also installed the Chinese TWRP and even though I can't read Chinese, I have no problems getting around in it.

Yes i thought about this, but how?? I think i need custom recovery for this, but can't install one. If there is other way of installing I will be happy. Thanks.

I don't know any other way to install gapp except using recovery.
Install recovery and find your phone gapp and flash using recovery

Hello guys, just wanted to let you know that after many hours of hard work I finally managed to get Google Play Services and root working. If anyone ever needs help with this particular model or any x86 based Android tablet/phone with unknown brand you can send me private message or answer in this thread. The problem with this type of devices is that no one makes custom recovery for them that's why I had to load a temporary one. Here is a link. By following the guide there you will get in recovery pretty much 99% of time. From there it's easy just flash SuperSU package and GApps. The best and only working x86 (Intel Processors) GApps with this version of CWM recovery are Franken GApps. You flash them and you are done. You now have working, licensed and usable tablet/phone! Screenshots below! :highfive:

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;
*In case the recovery says something like "Not enough space to install zip" or something similar, please, write in this thread so I can help you.
Good luck!

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.

Hello there,
Sorry for the off topic.
I also have the same tablet and I managed to do all the things listed above.
I was trying to update the Android on this thing by flashing a ROM of a very similar tablet (hardware-wise) and I semi bricked it but I managed to recover through the ECU shell(!). I have every partition in img using dd.
The thing is. Do you have any resources about a new ROM? I found the anzhen4_mrd7 source files on GitHub and I'm trying to build a CM build. Downloaded the source code etc.
If you want to collaborate send me a PM

Hello,
unfortunately I am not that good with Android. I don't know how to build ROMs etc., but I may learn one day. Sorry, but I can't help you.
