Digiland 10.1 (DL101Q) Root, install Lollipop ? - Android General

Hey guys - I just went to best buy and ended up buying 3 of the Digiland 10.1 Tablets they had on sale for $70. Going to give them to my nieces for X-Mas (ages 11, 13,14). Dose anyone know how to root this device and install Android 5.0 Lollipop ?
I'd like to update these 3 before i give it to them. Thanks!

Bump, I am also using the digiland 10.1 from best buy... Successfully rooted, but looking for the best way to install custom rom without bricking? Thanks in advance.

I used root genius on Windows and it worked very easily... Hoping for custom recovery but I'm only intermediate with these things so I'm not sure where to go from here.

I bought one of these from best buy and would be very interested in all info available on rooting, custom recovery, and compatible roms for this device. I registered just for this thread. lol.

I rooted with the root genius for windows. Super easy took about 20 mins. Make sure you use the download from shuame.com though. Follow the directions

review?
Since you guys are using tablet.. What's your thoughts of it so far?
I'm sure someone on her knows of a rom to use.

That site is in what appears to be chinese, even translated its...hard to tell what is going on. No worries the thing doesnt even get here till the 11th of Dec.

Ummm what?

the site he listed, its in chinese
but regardless many reviews on bestbuy are saying it comes rooted anyway.

So did anyone get a custom rom working yet?

So far I like the quality of the tablet. I also brought three tablets one being the Digiland for myself and it is a very nice tablet. I just rooted mines as well through Root Genius. It's already on 4.4 so going from kitkat to lollipop isn't a huge deal to me. I'm using Buzz Menu as my home launcher and I Really like it! One of the biggest things I look to find in a rom for this device is multi-window.

Windows XP drivers help
I'm really liking this tablet as well.
I've been trying to root it with Root Genius as well, but unfortunately I've come across a road block.
I'm using a windows xp computer and I can't seem to find any driver for the tablet when you insert it in dev mode into the PC.
It asks for "MT65xx android" drivers and despite hours of searching on the net yesterday, all the drivers I have found online get rejected during the install driver process. I point the driver install to the right folder with the unzipped XP drivers, then it just fails and states it hasn't found matching drivers in there... I tried and found like 10+ websites with no luck.
Has anyone rooted it through a Windows XP computer? If someone could help me find the right matching drivers, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, I'm happy to hear people like this tablet, since I'm giving them as gifts.

"MT65xx Android Phone" driver
It turns out that most of the drivers I was trying must have been "MT65xx Preloader" drivers (the driver that is required when connecting the tablet when it is turned off).
Could anyone who has successfully rooted theirs point me towards a valid "MT65xx Android Phone" driver for Windows XP? That seems to be the name of the driver required when the device is turned on and with usb debugging turned on (the state required for Root Genius to work). Google hasn't returned a valid one for me yet since most sites tend to get the "preloader" and "android phone" drivers mixed up or poorly labeled, it seems that all the ones I found fall in the earlier category.

Rooted
ok so I have the thing rooted with root genius. Still looking for a rom, I have also noticed that this device seems to have a 2Gb partition and then the rest of the 16Gb in another partition. Is there a way to repartition this? Im a PC tech but very new to android. This site has been very informative so far.

I have rooted and downloaded the Original ROM for the DigiLand 10.1 running 4.4.2. I am currently attempting to load Lollipop on the system.

Can you please post the link to the original ROM, I have thus far been unable to find it.
Thanks

My first one did the wireless update after Rooting with root genius and bricked. Probably just bad download. Got replacement and updated and rooted, but having to use kinguser because of the issues supersu has with access to root from SD. Flawed for some mtk devices I have found. Lucky patcher and titanium backup won't work properly with supersu. Does anyone know if superuser has the same problem?

Thanks for your replies I really appreciate it. I am sorry its in the wrong place, I did look, but I couldnt find it.
@AXD96....if i use that, are there updates for it, and also if I need to unroot it is it possible. Its still under guarantee.
Thanks again.
Can I ask, if somebody could explain, whats the difference between flashing and rooting, having the phone locked or unlocked and how that affects both, being able to use kies, how does that work, if its been rooted.

yes the update yes but you must use cydia 1 time after you will get root access you must install superuser or supersu from playstore and you should do these updates from play store
if you are thinking about firmware update the answer is always yes! )
you cant do updates if you change bootloader,if you want to change rom you MUST change bootloader

android is based off linux. and pretty much has everything a linux computer has except Super user/admin like we have on windows. pretty much rooting is running a exploit to get Super user so we can run applications/ flash OS and other goodies. locked and unlocked have to do with the bootloader. im not the best guy with knowing what a boot loader is but pretty much it boots your OS. if its locked you are unable to flash unsigned Roms so no custom roms pretty much. im not sure why Samsung cant update their phones ota sometimes so they use kies. maybe the file is big enough that it cant be carried ota.

flashing=install some software (brutal force Haha) with flashing you install(copy)data on your phone maybe a firmware,
flashing is used with pc while you flash a firmware or the clockworkmod...
flashing is also used while we speaking about recovery when you install a zip...
routing is the procedure to add superuser function to your android
you can get root flashing a firmware that has included the root
or get it using some exploit
exploit=android bug
there are a lot of bug in android versionS
for example today there arent exploit avariable on android 4.4 and 4.3 but there are 1 or more in android 4.2 4.1
and there are a lot of bug in android 2.3 this os the same of iOS on iPhone, in apple world we talk about JAILBREACK...
if you would like to try to root using exploit you can try FRAMAROOT an app or CYDIAIMPACTOR a software on pc
if you would like to flash a firmware with root you should use ODIN

Ax Repost
hit a problem, I downloaded Cydia to my macbook pro, installed it, selected debugging mode and accept downloads from unknown sources, opened Cydia and the drop down option has 'drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su' clicked on start and immediately kies wants to open, and then Cydia says 'Error signature bugs unavailable'. What does that mean and why has it happened.
Thank you

I dont see anywhere that the Galaxy s3 mini cant be rooted, and I see others using 4.1.2 being rooted. So can somebody explain? And looking on the Impactor website it doesnt say anything about that either......

sorry i was a little late, i have never heard of that cydia app that guy was talking about and i looked it up and it has nothing to do with rooting.
so i looked it up like i promised and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910 should work on 4.1.2 the guy said its in Chinese and if you look down there's pictures to find your way through it. yeah once its rooted it should have superuser or SuperSU (same thing made by different people) if it is not on there you might have to download it from the playstore just look one of them up (chainfires SuperSU is recommended) and install it and get a root checker from the playstore as well. Update me if anything happens.

[Q] Old tablet needs android update-Please HELP.

Im having an old Yarvik TAB220 tablet bought 2 years ago. It was forgotten for long and now that i opened it its still on android 2.3.4.
I dont know if it can be updated further but i believe it can as Yarvik has provided upgrade tools.
Here are the problems that wont let me update it:
Cant install drivers when connecting to pc. I've downloaded and tried to install them manually, still windows 7 wont recognize them.
Without being able to be detected by computer, i cant use the YarvikUpgradeTool.
I tried to root it, it said it was already rooted?
All i want is to update it to at least android 4 and root it so i can have google market and all the other apps.
Is there a way to have android updated without using the computer? It has not update option on system information. I know the thread is missing some info about the tablet so please ask me whatever extra is needed.

As i see it there is no real rom support. I did have experience with yarvik tablets. mine came loaded with 4.1.2 but it broke.
i recommend you to invest in a new tablet. I havent tried this yet but. try installing the drivers manualy. as i cant load it up and update it and install the drivers. Try installing it with other computers(like a friend or youre parents).
soz i am from Netherlands as my english isnt great

Trying to root Kyocera Hydro Wave model C6740N

same here, a guy who works for kyocera told me that this model cant be put into recovery mode. Any help appreciated
I'm joining the request. As stated above, I've combed the web for anything on it with no success. Is this because of the fairly new release? Or possibly the trouble they're in because of Microsoft?
Either way I feel there should be an exploit out for it by now...
I too am looking fir an exploit for this device, and have scoured Google, Bing, and Yahoo, only to find nothing.

This model (Hydro Wave C6740N) CAN be put into Recovery Mode, using ADB.
Since Windows (edit: XP) USB drivers for the C6740N Wave are not released by Kyocera (yet), you (edit: can) use a Linux or OS X machine to connect using USB, to use ADB on the C6740N. (Since USB connection to C6740N "just works" on those platforms.)
I have used ADB on a Macbook running OS X to reboot my Hydro Wave into Recovery Mode, and performed cache wipe successfully. Also performed backups using ADB.
Kyocera advised (via email) that the Wave can be put into Recovery using Volume Down + Power key combo. Not true, the key combo does not work.
Kyocera also advised (via chat) that the Windows USB driver for any Hydro family device will work for the Wave. Also not true (I tried it). (Edit: I tried the drivers with Windows XP. It looks like the Kyocera Windows USB drivers may simply be USB modem drivers only, on any case.)
OS X or Linux using ADB is the ticket, no USB driver necessary. (Edit: But see other posts about using Windows 10 too.)
I'm also keenly interested in rooting the C6740N, but an absolute noob. The C6740N has a lot going for it, but a few shortcomings that root would enable resolving. If anyone knows of a way to root it, we would be most grateful to hear about it.
Tried about everything else too and nothing works
There's a working driver in Windows 10, but KingoRoot still fails. I almost tried King Root, but it's all in Chinese. I was going to try Framaroot but gave up when the download link resulted in an endless survey loop to win a free $100 Visa card (yeah....... GO F**K YOURSELF). I really want to root this thing. MetroPCS has this thing loaded full of bloatware and the Google BS I never use (google+ MUST DIE) is just eating storage space and what tiny bit of RAM is left. It's a nice phone but the inability to overclock the CPU, delete bloatware, and turn my 4GB SD Card into RAM really leaves alot to be desired.
The phone can be put into recovery using adb on windows.but that's as far as that goes.Cant find any way to root.Hope we get one soon.
So I think we should make a list of what root methods that did not work. That way we wont get hassled of what does not work
Kingo Root: FAIL
Towelroot: FAIL
Framaroot: UNKNOWN
King Root: UNKNOWN (Can't read Chinese)
Could you use a kill file that would reset all data including disabling some things
Root genius fails
King root fails
Kingoroot fails
Iroot fails
Framaroot fails
Towelroot fails
I'm thinking you gotta unlock the boot loader , but I can't put into fast boot mode or boot onto the boot loader for any adb fastboot commands to work. I can get to recovery in adb , and in the recovery menu I select boot to boot loader but it boots normally. I really want to root this thing!!
I just noticed that they're are any way to root the latest lolipop unless your on 5.0.2 ( BTW I checked kingroot and checked the request of our device and its almost to 1000

If he rooted the phone he sent the reply from, he's unfortunately in the wrong thread. The C6530N is the Hydro Life. We're trying to root the C6740N which is the Hydro Wave. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
On the other hand, if he's using the Hydro Life to post in the forum but has successfully rooted the Hydro Wave, we would all love to know just how you did it. My Hydro Wave is running worse than an Alcatel Evolve on the stock setup. We need root badly.
Speaking of root exploits such as Framaroot, see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...droid_users_creates_hijackable_global_botnet/
Which links to the original exposé:
https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html
...which notes that this Android botnet malware uses Framaroot and other root exploits. I wonder if some of these Chinese root exploit tools themselves (Framaroot, Kingoroot, etc.) carry a hidden malware payload.
....
Hi I've tried everything also but I also tried this program for tablets called zuse toolkit & it seems to get something through cause it reboots & optimizes or upgrade apps I'm not too sure which one but if someone out there knows how to modifie the way this zuse toolkit roots then maybe we have a chance of rooting this new phone oh & after it optimizes or upgrades the apps I check for root permissions and it still says it does not have root permissions so yea...

Help For Complete Novice To Rooting Android/Custom ROM

First off, I am a complete novice when it comes to rooting so please be gentle with me.
I have one of these Walmart HKC 7" tablets that I would like to use to experiment with in regards to rooting it and putting a newer OS on.
I did some checking around and tried rooting it with Kinkgo Root. It seems like it might have worked, but I have no clue. All the factory installed apps are still there and I would like to get rid of them cause I don't use them and want to free up the space.
How do I know that this tablet has been successfully rooted after running Kingo Root?
Secondly, once I get it rooted, i would like to update/upgrade the OS. Currently it is running Android 4.1.1 and I would like to get a new version for it, but I have no clue as to how any of updating/upgrading to a "Custom ROM" works.
Could someone be so kind as to guide me in the right direction so I can find step by step instructions as to how to update/upgrade to a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice/help/guidance/suggestions anyone has to offer . . .
To check if your device is rooted download root checker from play store then open it, and click check. For the custom rom you need a custom recovery that allows you to install zip from SD card/ internal space or make a backup of your system. So search on internet cwm Walmart HKC 7" and then search Walmart HKC 7" rom

It doesn't seem that there is any custom ROM for your tablet.
To see if you are rooted download and run this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=ro
If you are not rooted you can try towelroot (will most likely work). Download this app and make it ra1n: https://towelroot.com/ (to download press the Lambda).
Thanks for the replies.
I have downloaded the root check app as suggested. After installing it and running it, the app indicates that this particular tablet has been in fact rooted.
I have also done a search as joe2k01 suggested and only found one thread regarding this tablet (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297246). After reading through the thread, I have no clue as to what this thread is about or whether this is what I am looking for or not.
Since it does not appear that there are any custom ROM's available for this particular tablet, is it possible to find and utilize a "universal" type of Custom ROM?
If this is possible, is there anyone who can suggest such a universal custom ROM that will or might work on this tablet?
Again, thanks in advance for any and all advice, suggestions or input.
A universal custom ROM doesn' t exist but you can find a custom ROM for a similar phone to your.

Thank you joe.
Since this is one of those Walmart HKC 7" tablets, can you suggest where or how I might find something similar in order to find a custom ROM for this thing?
Would it be appropriate to ask this in the Android Operating Systems forum?
To find a device similar to your you need to know the model number of your tablet, after that you have to search on internet "Model Number" ROM (w/o "). You can also search " Model Number" needrom (w/o "). Needrom is a website where you can find a lot of custom rom.

Root a Pro12 tablet ct9223w97

I picked up a 12.2 inch 2 in 1 Android tablet from Wal-Mart with a brand name of Pro12 with a model number of ct9223w97. It came with Android 6.0. I can boot into fastboot. Developer options are enabled. I have rooted many devices. I'm just waiting to see if the note 7 through T-Mobile is ever able to be rooted. I know a spring debug version is out but I'd rather wait. In the mean time I'd like to figure out a way to root the tablet. There is an app I use that I need root for.
Thank you so much in advance!

any luck getting this thing rooted?
I am very pleased to know that I am not the only person that wants to root this device. The main reason that I would like to root this tablet is to change the dpi and resolution. I have tried running Antutu Benchmark and King Root at the same time as this method has worked on previous android devices in the past but there was no success. For those that were not aware The Pro12 and the RCA Pro 12 are produced by the same Manufacture which I believe is Alco Electronics. The only difference between the two is that The Pro12 is 64GB and the RCA Pro 12 is 32Gb in storage capacity. Otherwise the form factor and hardware specifications are the exact same. The keyboards are interchangeable between the two. Where I am going with this is that if someone manages to root the RCA Pro 12 it should also work on this tablet so be on the lookout. There are some untested root methods I have been looking into but I am so busy. They have been posted below if anyone has the time to consider attempting a root. I feel confident about root method 3 since its focused on rooting Mediatek devices which is the processor make of this tablet.
Also, I am unaware if these untested root methods will install a root admin other than Su or Supersu.

Did you install many apps that are running in the background?
I would honestly run factory reset or look into this task manager app.

I kept it lean, I don't think anything is running that didn't come with, but I'll check, and check that app. Thanks

I am very pleased to know that I am not the only person that wants to root this device. The main reason that I would like to root this tablet is to change the dpi and resolution. I have tried running Antutu Benchmark and King Root at the same time as this method has worked on previous android devices in the past but there was no success. For those that were not aware The Pro12 and the RCA Pro 12 are produced by the same Manufacture which I believe is Alco Electronics. The only difference between the two is that The Pro12 is 64GB and the RCA Pro 12 is 32Gb in storage capacity. Otherwise the form factor and hardware specifications are the exact same. The keyboards are interchangeable between the two. Where I am going with this is that if someone manages to root the RCA Pro 12 it should also work on this tablet so be on the lookout. There are some untested root methods I have been looking into but I am so busy. They have been posted below if anyone has the time to consider attempting a root. I feel confident about root method 3 since its focused on rooting Mediatek devices which is the processor make of this tablet.
Also, I am unaware if these untested root methods will install a root admin other than Su or Supersu.

I've tried all of these. Sadly, none of them work. I'm curious how hard it is to do this on my own. I would have no idea where to begin. Or can we request this somewhere?

There is a root that has been successful on this forum for the RCA Maven Pro. Maybe we can request for some help with this since its kinda similar and they have already developed a rom for it. They might have more experience.
Any luck here?

Hopefully this will bump the thread up. Still looking for root, any updates?

I am still trying. I was attempting to gain ADB access but was unable to get the drivers detected when connecting to the PC via USB. I have been on top of King Root and Kingo Root updates and still nothing. I even tried running benchmarks simultaneously running King Root which has worked in the past with other devices that use Mediatek hardware but I had no luck. Alcatel Fierce 2 Root " https://androidforums.com/threads/root-for-fierce-2.875644/page-45 ". Still searching for an exploit. I think our chance of cracking it is by USB to PC at this point. We need some working ADB Drivers. Im always so busy. Can someone try these and see if it detects the Pro 12.

The Site below list 5 PC applications to root by USB. We can try these once we have a working set of ADB drivers. If anyone knows of some more software we can try please post.

SRS *said* mine was rooted but it did not root. Never installed superuser. Got into it with ADB but can't unlock the bootloader due to the fact that the volume controls won't work to select anything.
404 error =(
