[Q] FileMate Clear 7" T720 tablet

Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!

I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!

I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)

I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...

I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.

sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

FileMate Clear T720
Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]

ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

Rooted With Kingo
I just bought one of these cheap to play with and used Kingo to root it. Worked first time, no problem. The only issue I am having is that the SuperSu binaries are failing to update but root is still working. Titanium is working and Root Explorer so I can debloat. Hope that helps is anyone is still trying to use these

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.

[ROOT 100%] TSD A9300 chinese mobile

ROOT SOLUTION AT #8 POST IN THIS THREAD
Click Thanks if i helped you
Hi, i try to root this phone and i don't found the way.
First of all, this is the phone info:
Hardware : MT6575
Model : TSD A93000
Build number : SJ_A952_A881_M00_S07_120827
Build date UTC : 20120827-095217
Android v : 4.0*
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V10, 2012/07/03 17:10
Kernel v : 2.6.35.7 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 Mon Aug 27 17:45:08 CST 2012
(if you need more info, only demand me)
* I think that this phone IS NOT Android 4.0 because tap-in several times in "setting→about the phone→Android version" show the Zombie Arts by Jack Larsson and also the kernel not belong to Android 4.0, for this think i doubt of the MT6575 processor, thereby, how can i be sure of this info? something apk you know?
When i connect phone (mode debbuging and unknow sources ON) at MTK Droid Tools last version, the software "not responding". I try to install several ADB drivers, but seems none work. The only way to "connect" is when MTKDroidTools is "not responding" i open a cmd window and kill the adb server with "adb kill-server", in this moment the MTKDroidTools stop and read the phone, in this moment i copy&paste the phone info up here. At this moment i click on "root" button but don't work displaying:
"Only through CWM it is possible to get root in this phone! look urls (url chinese) (url xda-developers)" sorry i can't post urls, under 10 posts
I try to follow the tutorial of the 2nd link ([GUIDE] How to ReadBack ROM using SP FlashTool, to make the CWM recovery, to install SuperUser (get root) etc.If your phone not rooted using the ROOT button.), but i can't because the phone not connect at MTKDroidTools for take back the scatter file and etc.
What can i do?
Sorry for the tocho

up!

help me please!!

bump!
Anyone knows something about it?

1.Dowoad the file from the link below.
2. Then download Clockwork Mod Custom Recovery.
3. Then boot into recovery mode, and choose "install from SD Card".
4. Choose Clockwork mod recovery.zip, and it will boot you into a different recovery.
5. From that recovery mode you should be able to flash .zip files without signature verification.
6. Choose install zip from SD Card and choose SU Installer.zip.
Note:To unroot just flash SU Uninstaller.zip the same way you did to flash Installer.zip.

Hi Ronny927, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that my phone it is not in this CWM recovery list. If i would take that way... i have this questions about that:
If i choose one CWM recovery and this one is not for my model phone, can i brick my phone? there is any more danger?
thx

hello, i have tha same smartphone, can you please write the tutorial in english as well ? google translate isnot something i trust for these procedures.
Also som questions:
Do you have the original rom so that if we brick the phove we can revive it via SpFlashTools? Have you managed flashing CWM recovery?
It is very cheap for its characteristics.
Back camera is most likely 2mp (or 3MP) and front 0.3 for sure. I tried resizing and i found that out . Still more than acceptable quality. I got Antutu score of 4500. It is really high for 6575, since my old 6575 could reach 3700 and my current 6577 gets 6800. I really apreciate that too.
dont really understand what is the real clock of the cpu. . Antutu says 19998.84mhz which is rather impossible for a 6575. Cpu spy as well cannot retrieve the frequency states.
checking the gps now

Still need help or have you rooted your phone?

I did root my phone and removed every chinese appi didnt want.
It would be very usefull for someone to post here the original rom so as to be flashed via SpFlashTools since it is 6575.
PS i dont own it now, i gave it to a friend but i m sure he will ask for my help soon, since i am the one who is aware about technology products...
Thank you anyway

I got really big problem with rooting that phone...
i did everything as this instruction says (that spanish one posted by nomerallo, using mgyun software)
and now some of the root checkers says that i do have root acces, and some of them says that i dont!(WTF!?)
And still programs that need root accesto work - doesnt work
and i cannot make root process again because program thinks that phone is already rooted (i cannot click on that ROOT option)
any ideas how to deal with it?

SM-T210 Root without ODIN!

Hey guys, since I wanted the flashcounter to keep from climbing up too high, I was looking for a rooting method, that would not involve Odin.
I searched all day long and finally had luck with THIS ONE.
Works like a charm, but leaves a chinese version of superuser behind. But I guess everyone who is looking for root and makes it, should be able to change the superuser.apk (dont forget to set the correct permissions ).
To grant Superuser permissions, you need to hit the right button at the superuser prompt!
-sidenote- mine updated during the setup process, so wait till it goes all the way to 100% and installs again.
Well other than that, have fun and now I need to look into mobile Odin, because then I guess we wont need Odin anymore and can keep the flash-O-meter from climbing
Maybe someone can also create a full system-dump, so we can restore untouched partitions if needed. Would be great if someone who is new here could do so!
TWRP ADB flasher(no Odin-no flashcounter):
http://d-h.st/xde
Credits go to @gr8nole (TWRP) @Ilko (the script) @redy2006 (the package)
If I forgot you here, please PM me and I ll add you ASAP!
Hope it helps some fellows out
Oh and maybe I can find out about the exploit they are using, so we can make our own software, without having to install their software

root
Thanks for the post this worked once I remembered to set to USB bugging mode good thing I read Chinese (joking)

Cool!
Too bad I already rooted my SM-T210 with Odin by now. Still an interesting find!

Nice, the value has to be stored somewhere where flashing neither custom ROMs nor Recovery touch it...shouldn't be too hard to find it - but probably dangerous...(bootloader partition?)

Try the following:
I first flashed the ROM released in October 2013, then rooted and installed TWRP.
Then:
Delete Sysscope data
Stop the process
Stop Enterprise vpn (not sure, if this is necessary)
Delete Enterprise sysscope data
Shut your tablet down,
Reboot to upload mode, enter it and check for the change, then hold the powerbutton for 10 secs to reboot and also check in Settings-About phone-Status
And please report back

After flashing stock I tried your rooting method but it did't work... I also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 wich was originally designed for Sony Phones but is reported to work on Samsung devices, too. Unfortunately it didn't work for me either...
I flashed CWM (from the forums) and rooted via CWM afterwards. Continuing with CM 10.2 now

Does this mean that my current sm-t210 (in fw 4.1.2) which is stock and non rooted can be rooted without losing warranty ?
and the mention about a chinese superuser is easy to "repair" and get back my French status ?

First make sure all the drivers are installed then go to this website http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and download the tool. Then launch the tool and u may see option #drop supersu etc. Etc. And then press start. After when its completed download and install supersu then download busybox and install busybox via busy box app.

In Cydiaimpactor, do we need to change anyoption ? (you mention "#drop supersu, etc." : do we need such options or just leave them as they are ?)
Is it the cydiaimpactor which is allowing root, or the supersu and busybox ? Those apps (busybox and supersu) are supposed to require root, but I didn't know they are used to root.

I downloaded cydiaimpactor, but It doesn't find my device. When I connect tablet on PC, the PC can see the tablet. Just in case, I downloaded some drivers (not found on samsung which apprently only lists in downloads some manuals.. but google drove me to some pages with samsung drivers) and my PC can discuss with tablet.
But when clicking "start" in Cydia, I receive an error message "no device found" and if I tru the USB/scan menu, I also receive an error message "no such device". Any idea ?
Cydia had no installer, so I unzipped all files in a temporary folder (c:\temp\cydiaimpactor) and double click on the .exe .

I'm stupid... I had forgotten to enable "usb debug".. Once enabled, I run cydia with same error, but retrying 1 minute later, it worked !
After cydia, I did not install supersu, but only rootkeeper, which detected the tablet as rooted.
What is the advantage of supersu ? Description lists many features, but are those really helpfull when usage is not to develop but rather to enable use of apps such as adblocking, security, etc. ?
Thanks a lot for your help, and bravo for having found and published ths method which allows my device to remain with "official" status !

support.zte.com.cn/support/%28S%28ct55nzeou0okp055palpbk45%29%29/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1000442
(if it doesnt allow you to click on it then copy and paste it on your browser)
Step 4. Once you have all drivers install and you pc recognizes your phone go on your browser and download an app call kingo. The app can be found here
kingoapp.com
Step 5. Once you download and install kingo app open u kingo and give it a sec to recognize the phone. Once it does select root and let the pc do its thing. Once the phone is rooted it will restart and ask you for superuser permissions, at this point select grant and your phone will be rooted. Open Superuser pp and install binaries onto the phone once you do that i suggest you go onto the play store and update the superuser app.
This is it now your new zte boost max is rooted and we are just waiting on a custom recovery to arise or i will work on one and upload it here on this post for you. I do have a spare zte max phone i can work on to try everything i can on it so dont worry hopefully real soon i will have it. Now i worked mostly on Samsung phones Unlocking and flashing repairing imeis so building custom recovery is quite new for me but i promise to work hard. Thanks And enjoy And sorry for some reason the xda is not letting me post url links since im a new member so until i become n old member i cant write www in front of any links. I know its stupid lol

Custom Recovery By Philz
Well I didn't get to create the custom recovery however thanks to a friend I was able to flash a recovery that did work on the device. I am uploading the recovery there is a set of instructin tat is required to flash it but I found a better faster way that you can even do it without a pc really. So first you are going to want to download the recovery I uploaded. Once you have it downloaded you are going to extract the file to the root of your sd card or your phone (I think I had it on both just incase it didn't work on one) then after you have it on your phone you are going to take off your computer and open up play store and search for an app called FLASHIFY and install it on your phone. When you open flashify its going to ask you to grant permission grant it. Then agree with disclaimer. Okay once in the main app you will see boot image and recovery image and zip file. You are going to click on recovery image a pop up will ask choose a file download twrp download cwm cancel you are going to click on choose file. Scroll down til you see sdcard click on that. Now when you scroll down you should see the recovery img you copied in there you will know its the image because right next to it there will be a circle with the lighting on it. you are going to click on that. Its going to ask you if you want to flash that file you are going to select yup! and once it done it will ask you if you want to reboot or continue select reboot now it will reboot into your new recovery. Thanks a lot George for finding the recovery for me. Im still going to work on a twrp I think its more stable and I never use philz recovery but its really nice.
ps Well for some reason the file is not uploading so im am going to see if I can copy the link on here it migt not let me let see

boost max will tether 3g but not 4g
I have the phone rooted with no problems, but i have installed wi fi for rooted phones and barnacle and when use either one of those tether programs, they only tether in 3g but will not tether in 4g. i have verified that 4g does work directly from the phone when i run the speed test but when i run the same speed test from my tether device, it only test in 3g. any suggestions?

Follow the tutorial that is a few posts back in this tired.

Foxfi in the play store works pretty well for me across all my devices without hotspot or USB tethering....it also use Bluetooth to share your network like a VPN

My bad. This genius found the following by searching on the web:
"I did some more search and found the file Super-Root.apk is actually Framaroot version 1.4.1 (you can tell that from the MD5 checksum.) There is new version available and you can try it from:"
forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
Much more detail on rooting process is available at above link. Let us know if it works. Thanks.

Did you ever find a way to root this device?

I did, but can't remember which method worked. It was a friend's machine. I want to say KingRoot? Or maybe it was KingoRoot. Not saying these are the only methods, just the ones that spring to mind. I do A LOT of rooting, firewalling and adblocking on Android devices for people I know. It's hard to keep track of it all.
EDIT: cmullen mentioned Framaroot above. Fairly certain I tried a variation of it from somewhere, but can't remember if it worked

I apologize for my aggression. The "link" you provided set off more than a few red flags as potential malware. That kind of thing REALLY irritates...
