Hi friends, I have a ZiiO 10 tablet with android 2.2 and build number 2.0.0.14 (latest), want to root it, i've done everything in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15903421&postcount=5
I've tested this solution with many versions of Superuser and SuperOneClick, but when the root done, sometimes a notification told me to "#update su binary" when i click update, it said fails, I want to use ProxyDroid application on my tablet, this application needs root to function, but when i open it, the tablet hangs up !
Anybody can help me with that ?
Wich SuperOneClick version will i use ?
Wich Superuser version will i use ?
I think there is something wrong with this tutorial ...

You could try z4root on a Froyo device. It's a bit older, but works well for me.
Without running into a NAND lock, I've never had a problem using SuperOneClick to be honest, and I recommend it to just about everyone. Provided you have the correct drivers installed on your machine and your NAND/bootloader lock is open, I haven't had a phone that doesn't work with it yet.
Good luck!
z4root don't work for me , another solution ?

Thank you all did on your instructions and now have a market and a root + google APPS! Checked on my "ziio" 10 chainfire 3d works fine.
Hello i've creative ziio 10 and i want to root
So here's how I did it:
Basically, with an Cortex A8 processor, the Maxell C8 tablet seems to be a slightly upgraded Allwinner A10, which is a bit cheaper than the Maxell tablet but then again Maxell really did package theirs nicely in terms of casing. But it's no secret - when you plug in the Maxell C8 with Windows 7 it shows clearly that it's a MID tablet. So essentially, my theory is that this method should work on all similar tablets such as Allwinner A13,A10 etc (although many of those come with preinstalled google play, as China, like me, doesn't give a **** about copyright). For reference, my tablet is running Android 4.0.4
Step 1. Root your tablet.
This took me a few times to figure out but this program called "Android Root Unlock" finally did it for me. You can get it from Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/
Enable USB debugging (settings > developer options > Usb debugging). Then just connect your tablet to your PC via USB, wait until Windows recognizes the device. It should read "MID" in the device manager screen. The unpack the zip file you downloaded above on your Windows machine and run "ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat" it while the tablet is still plugged into USB. A black terminal window will open, just follow the instructions from there. Your tablet will restart - that means it probably worked, don't close the program yet but follow what it says to the end until the terminal window closes. Now you can unplug your device.
Step 2. Install modded Google Play
Now you can go ahead and follow the instructions on xda-developers.com:

That's it! Google play now works like a charm and I can download stuff directly from Google Play without problems

Thanks for your efforts, I'll give it a try. I was going to try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, but as you've confirmed it works, I'll use Android Root Unlock.
I think it's running Jelly Bean, it's my dads tablet. I'll see him tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips.
Anyone managed to install either a recovery image or a custom rom on the maxtab?
I've rooted mine but cannot get fastboot to work and unable to load a recovery image. Adb is working OK. Tried clockworkmod but device is unsupported.
gadget19, what happened to yours, why do you need to recover or use custom rom?

I tried the google play fix but its not working for me. I wanted to use a custom rom so that I get google play to work correctly and also to try out 4,2 features.
Hi, thank you for your guide.
Unfortunately i'm unable to complete it because when i connect the maxtab c8 to a windows 7 system it doesn't find the MID driver so the root bat doesn't find the device.
Do you have any hint in how to complete the procedure?
Thank you.

I used the samsung drivers and google naked universal drivers. Adb commands work with them but could never get fastboot cmds to work.

Thanks for the hint; I was able to execute the bat file but i still have some problems.
The procedure looks like complete but if I open Root Explorer and try to do some changes in \system\app it just tell me that it's in read only mode.
Tried root check pro and it's all red...
superuser installed
sbin/su: permission denied
system/bin/su: no file
system/xbin/su: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present. Root access is correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can grant root access!
system/xbin/sudo : no exsist
su binary not found or not operating correctly
Tried to run the su file in system/xbin/su as a script on the tablet and via adb without any changes. Checked a bit online but i'm a bit stucked since my other android device (lg p500) was much easier to root.
If you have any idea i't will be very helpful. Thank you.
Ok solved.
To easy root the maxtab c8 (android 4.1) i used the RK29 tab tolkit v1.3: easy and fast.
Now i have problem installing the play store...
I followed the guide but since i don't have any Vending.apk or phonesky.apk in system/app i just copied it without a backup, rebooted but nothing happened.
Need more testing.
Ok play store installed and working.
I didn't use the apk linked in the first post, i had to use this one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934441
The method is the same (copy in system/app, set the permission as rw-r--r-- and then reboot) just use the apk i linked.
Hope this help someone.:victory:

Then Google play installer.
Maxtab welcome to the real world.

maxell maxtab 8
Hi,
I have a maxtab 8, with recovery loop..
Where can I ask -this machine-, which would not take off the observer?
this forum is the correct place?
hi i have lemon p5 which is gingerbread. i have tried using z4root, pramaroot and gingerbreak but none work. i have not tried rooting through pc because i can't install my device on my pc which is running windows 8 os. i tried to update the drivers marked yellow on the device manager but it could not find the driver. Guys i have been dying to root my phone as my internal memory is running out. please any help will be much appreciated.
if you have the driver i would be overwhelmed if you kindly take the trouble to share it with me. Thank you.
Try this app called Super One Click. It is pretty easy to use and it also downloads the adb drivers for your phone. It can be downloaded as a zip. There is also a demo on Youtube.
Hi, I need help on rooting my Hip street Phoenix tablet. I'm very new to android so I need lots of help.. Thanks.
Hello?
Anyone
Kingo root worked for me
Kingo root got stuck on Waiting for device...
I couldn't get it to work until I deleted android USB devices and then installed the android SDK, drivers were recognized before the SDK but kingo root wouldn't run until I did the SDK thing
I also have the same model(Hipstreet Phoenix), and I success on rooting it. for kingo root maybe check if you had enable USB debugging,
if it still does not work, then try install king root(is not the google play store,
download link:res.kingroot.net/msoft/webapp_kingroot/image/KingRootTrunk_105001.apk
1. download it than install the apk
2. open it(the only issue is the main screen and intro is in chinese, english video link:youtube.com/watch?v=Kzv75LQ1SlQ
let it install the root component(if is not rooted yet), on the upside the rest of interface is in english(including the request for root permission window)
and sorry about the links being in plain text.
hopefully this help.
KingGo
KingGo worked for me with no problems, Make sure that USB Debugging is enabled and Unkwown Sources is enabled. My Tablet is the 16GB version and has KitKat- still no problem with KingGo. Now I need A good Custom Lollipop ROM- anyone have one?
Mobogenie
I was advised to use Mobogenie by another member of this forum it was very easy and worked quickly. One button push to root.
Hello all. I have been trying to root my LG Optimus F60(MS395) for days now but have proven unsuccessful. I have the proper LGUnitedMobileDrivers installed on my PC, I have the root zip UNzipped, I have a command terminal open, I have tried PTP and MTP modes and cannot seem achieve root/SU access. The SuperSU app is on my phone but keeps asking to update binary. I have watched a couple tutorials on YouTube and have followed directions on many posts but still no dice. Notsureifuts my PC(Windows 7) or what but I can't get the "copy and paste" part of the rooting process down. I had an LGMS500 that I was able to root and flash w recovery and even bricked it then restored it to KitKat. So I'm a little familiar with some processes but not all. I also have an LG Leon that I want to root to free up bloatware and storage. But that's another mission all together.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm not sure if this is going to work but try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795300 You can ask in that thread if anyone with your specific devices has been successful.
