Hello all, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
I am trying to root what I think is a Maxtouch IPS tablet. Underneath the battery it says
Pad Phone
Model: MR 601
MADE IN CHINA.
It came Trojan ridden in the ROM so I want to root it to use a custom recovery with "ClockworkMod recovery" but before doing so and to not turn the phone into a brick I need to confirm the actual device on one of the rooting program lists and connot find anything that 100% specifies what exactly the phone is. No names are anywhere on the outside front or back of the phone.
TIA - I'm a newb and getting extremely intrigued. :good:

Hi There,
Please forgive me I am a complete novice when it comes to Android phone.
I have a chinese Dual sim phone that I have routed with superoneclick. I have put clockworks recovery on it with rom manager as I was trying to create a copy of the ROM. I also installed Droid X Recovery Bootstrap, however in droid x I pressed the fix permission option and the phone started changing permissions everywhere and now my phone wont start. It keeps booting up in a loop and I cannot get to the recovery to wipe the memory and start again
What SOC does the device use?
If its Allwinner based, you could boot from mmc or reflash with livesuit.
21ss, thank you for the reply.
Sorry my friend, I have no idea what you mean by What SOC does the device use?
You say that you can boot from the mmc slot, please tell how and with what software.
Never heard of livesuit.
I have attached a word document in rar of the ebay item that I purchest.
Any help that you can give me would be very much appreciated.
At the moment I have a paper weight.
Regards chunky2.

Hey guys the good thing about this phone is that you cant brick it, it cant be hard bricked easily... but I suggest you go to this discussion and find possible solutions, I had same issue and even tho I never managed to fully sort the issue, its because of my laziness... I could if I wanted, I managed to get it to a position I can use it and I have been using it like so for months now... here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618775&page=3
Good day xda users!
I have a question on a phone i have bought.I put a text file with the name of link to the phone,sorry for this dont have 10 posts
First of all,this is not a Lenovo Phone,its a copy of some sort...but I really like the design,so I bought it.
And the specifications are not true,its a MTK6572,not HD ready, resolution is 854x480 240ppi.
I tried to flash a rom, I guess the preoloader messed up,and now its a brick,but! I it connects to usb and I can flash rom's all the time
Well the question is:maybe some one of you have its stock rom,or you may tell me a different rom that maybe could work on this phone.
That's it, thanks for trying to help me with this problem!

Maybe you can remove the battery so we can see about which phone are we talking about. The easiest thing would be to find an original recovery image... but we need to know the exact model

the information from the back of the phone is limited i guess...its just IMEI number, CMIIT ID and Serial number,and some numbers i don't know what they mean 1: 02-8749-111811 2: 8TY39NP192CC873 thats it...
MTK Droid tools identified my phone model as "Custom Version" and in the Android System information showed the same thing...
Hi,
I work in a school, and the school have just purchased 75 Lenovo A7600 tablets (Lenovo Tab A10).
Basically, I want to build one up and image the rest so I thought the best way to do this would be with a custome recovery - any thoughts? Any suggestion on how to do this with this model?
I was thinking the best way would be to flash Clockwork Recovery, then use that to backup on the first device and then restore it on the rest. Obviously as the tablet isn't very popular model, there's very little online about doing this on this model so I'm a little hesitant as only done it with Samsung phones in the past, following guides.
At the minute it's taking about 40mins per tablet to setup to how we want it so I think this would be a quicker way, if we had say 10 SD cards and just worked through them.
We can't get drivers for this device so would all need to be done on the device.
Lenovo have said we can do what we want with the software, their warranty still stands unless we start physically tinkering with the hardware.
Any help and/or advice is highly appreciated.
So I've searched the forums, and I'm sorry to bring up a old thread.
But, I'm looking for a way to root the A-7600 aswell, love the tablet (for the money I paied), And all I miss is root.
Thanks!
Better late than never !
Hi guys,
there is a thread on this site about your problem : its name is "[Guide] Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 Root, Recovery, Xposed and Others" (I'm sorry, since I am new on this site, I can't post any link)
Cheers,
Hi everyone!
Terribly sorry this is my first post here and im looking for something, been reading through the site for the past few months but never registered.
I recently bought a HTC One M7, updated to 4.4.2 but rooted so i cannot get OEM updates.
It has ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8 istalled, busybox and SuperSu.
Im trying to unroot it and get it back to factory standard, its not for the warranty that really doesnt matter to me.
I just need some expert guidance if possible and just to be pointed in the right direction would be more then enough as there is so much information to try and retain lol.
I have been browsing through threads but im terrified i end up doing something wrong and bricking my phone.
Im living in Ireland and my phone was supplied by an operator called 'Meteor' so im a bit confused as to what method to take and where to get the exact oem stock software that will enable me to get back and let me update past 4.4.2
If anyone could link me a few threads or help in any way that would point me in the guaranteed right direction would be great, and also any information where i could get the exact file file i need to flash to get it back to stock, i understand the radio etc needs to correspond with my network operator.
Many thanks in advance for this one
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'd suggest you take a look at this thread:
[GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock
No response in two days, thread closed.
My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.
Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....
OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?
Your rooted, but stuck.
So my main question is:
What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?
On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.
Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?
Thanks in advance.
Additional backstory if helpful.
I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers.
I have discussed this problem in another thread if more details on all this specific to this device are of interest.

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.
It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?
The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks

The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..
Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..

Totally cool. It's a tough question.
The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
