I have a Bush Spira B1 (5inch, dual sim android 4.4.2, 5mp back camera, 2mp front camera, 8gb internal memory, 1gb ram, retailing in argos for £69.99)
I've only had it just over 30 days and it rebooted this evening but does not boot into android, after the boot and splash screens I get a blank screen and no operating system.
Anyone have any idea or knowledge of this device?
Why won't it finish boot? No system or any other changes have been made.
Apparently this is a rebranded Archos 50 neon, and carries the model number C50CNE.

Sounds like a piece of $hit.
Its most likely some chinese knock off.

Well its not one of these Chinese clone things that are taking over the net. They are $hit as you call it.......
I took it back and got a full refund.
Thanks for your optimistic comment though.

Sorry, lol, I havent ever heard of this phone, usually alot of people who buy phones that die like 30 days later are the Chinese ones.
Its ok. No offence taken.
I brought it because the spec seemed quite respectable.
Sim free (unlocked)
5" IPS screen
Qualcom snapdragon quad core processor
Dual sim
8gb internal memory
1gb ram
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
8mp back camera
5mp front camera
£10 lebra mobile credit included on a free sim card
£10 Google play voucher
Black or white back battery cover and a clear gel case included.
£69.95
My own investigation found out that all bush phones and tablets available in UK are rebranded Archos devices.
The Spira B1 seems to be identical to the Archos C50 Neon.
There are bigger and better phones available (Namely the Spira C1 and Spira D1 that have 5.2 and 5.5" screens and lollipop) for £99 and £120 respectively.
The previous 4 and 5 inch Bush android phones and tablets available until April this year in the UK (that were called bush 4 android and bush 5 android) have now been rebranded as Alba devices !
Here it is.
I have a Bush Spira C1. I bought it from Argos. I too cannot currently find anyway to root my device. I'm gradually running out of space, as I'm unable to use Link2SD without root. Any assistance for us would be gratefully received. Thank you in advance. P.S. I have searched XDA, but cannot find any other reference to our devices.

Not everyone can afford a £600 phone. Some people are quite happy with the basics.

Same problem here, my dad has the Spira B1. I'll update if I find something.
[Update]
Managed to root with KingoRoot using the Windows software. Just need to find a way to replace their superuser app with SuperSU now.
superuser just crashes on this phone supersu sort of works it roots the phone but the pop up for su prompt is blocked so just sits there if set to always grant root works but is a bit of a security issue and practically all phones are produced in china now even the over priced ones and the chipset for the phone is spreadtrum the cpu is a quad 1.2 with a mali mp2 gpu so performance is reasonable but the touch screen is only 2 touch and it is a rebranded Archos 50c neon but the update firmware they have available at the archos site is older than what is installed on the phone so won't install.

Go for a refurb Nook Color or Archos.
The tablet you showed has good specs but considering the fact that it's not a common model, you will have trouble finding,
1) rooting procedures.
2) service/repair
3) custom ROMs.
And, the one you showed looks like a Chinese tablet that have crappy hardware and software.
If you took a look at the review they said it was quite neat, and I've only heard good things about it when looking around.
It just worries me a bit, that people says 2.2 is crap and that dual core is worth **** when most things only run one one :/
Nook Color and Archos is e-reader, I don't want that :/
Only 2.3 and 3.0 tablets worth buying?
Nook is fully functional android tablet when rooted... Not just e-reader... And much better than the Chinese tablet you are looking at. A friend at work bought one of those... Very slow and lags like crazy... No good. Hope you find what works for you.

2.3 and 3.0 tablets are somewhat worth buying. Archos is not an eReader. It's a PMP/tablet. Nook Color is an eReader and so has an excellent display. Still, it's full touch and can be rooted and made to function as a real tablet.
I wouldn't really call 2.2 crap. It's good but with a Nook Color, you will be able to update to 2.3.5 using CM7.
It's sad that you are making me repeat myself, a Nook Color comes with an American warranty unlike a Chinese product which has no warranty. Even if they advertise one, you can't be sure that they will honor it 100%.
A review can be biased. On the internet, you can easily write a biased review. Nook Color has a huge modding community and, not everyone is going to be biased.
As for Archos, it's more multimedia oriented and so has a dual cam as well.
I wouldn't call dual core ****. Although not a lot of software can utilize multi-threading, you will see better software soon. It might take some time by when, your tablet would become slow and outdated. Dual core is worth it but it's not a smart choice, right now.

Nook Color does consume more battery but it has reasonable life.
Then again, it all boils down to your own priorities. If you don't mind a sub-standard Chinese product as long as it's cheap and has some cool specs, go ahead. If you want a somewhat quality product which is either little expensive or has lower specs, don't buy the model you showed.
I think I'll buy it next month, just to try out a tablet.
I can always buy something else if I like it

Even laptops are hard to upgrade hardware wise, let alone tablets.
He is talking about software. That thing runs 2.2. Most smartphones listed in have custom ROMs. Most phones that have only 2.1 officially have 2.3 ported unofficial by XDA members. He is asking if you can upgrade that device to 2.3 at least unofficially.

That looks more like a scam. It is impossible to squeeze so much power with such a low price.
What is your primary purpose for this tablet?
I would second the suggestions for Nook&Color.
Also, I hear Amazon's going to launch it's new android based eBook-centric tablet, as "Amazon Kindle" for $250. If you just want to read some ebooks, do a little surfing, and play games like Angry Birds. Then I think this tablet is for you. Keep in mind that this tablet is very ebook-oriented and NOT AT ALL like any other android based tablet. Heck, it doesn't even support some of the google services (Android market). You may want to watch out for that.

Nook Color can be rooted and flashed with CM7 and be turned into a full fledged tablet. I believe there's a honeycomb port as well.

No it isn't : it's a real fully-functional Android tablet.
I own a A101IT (G8, the one running Froyo), and really like (and recommend) it!
... or you should wait for the next version (G9), with a dual-core and Honeycomb-powered.
I hope this isn't the wrong place to post this so if it is, sorry to the mod who's in charge.
Anyone who's in the market for a decent, inexpensive, intro tablet should check this one out. I got mine at geeks.com a few days ago.
First off, and most importantly, it comes already rooted. One of the first things I did was to install Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. I was a little surprised to see that root was checked in Titanium Backup. Once Rom Manager was installed I easily installed Clockword Mod and was off trying out a few other roms.
The hardware is as follows:
CPU: ARMv7 (VFPv3, NEON) @ 1200MHz
GPU: Mali-400 MP (OpenGL ES 2.0)
Screen: 600x800 capacitive touch screen
Add'l items: microSDHC slot, mini HDMI out, mini USB, front facing camera & mic.
You can see the rest of the specs at geeks.com but for the money it's a pretty good little tablet, IMHO...plus comes rooted so no need to research anything or mess around with adb
If anyone has any questions, give me a shout.

kosaco 8"
I have been seeing a TON of ads about these different models of late all very reasonably priced but almost NO real information about them
for example your post is the 1st time I have seen someoen say its an ARM7 CPU.
That being said, I have been working on a GTAB for over a year so kind of lost touch on the different cpu classifications, how would that stack up against an ARM9 or CortexA10?
I've owned several tablets, everything from an Augen to a Pnandtech to 3 color nooks (still in action) to the GTAB that got run over last week.
So now Im in the market. I really prefer the 10" screens (had a Z180 before the GTAB), but the nook is growing on me.
The only 2 things that most ads seem to differentiate between kosaco models for example is the 730's and 760's seem to be 7" screen your 830 apparently is an 8" screen and then the version of android thats pre installed.
I have seen some w/ 2.2.3 and many w/ ICS (4)
Now that youve had a few more days to play can you give us a real breakdown on what your finding?
have you owbned any other tablets prev?
Thanks
J
any idea on how to get ICS or HC running on this tab? I bought it and it seems like a pretty aewsome budget tab but i was hoping to get a newer version of android running on it.
have you found the makers website?
you mite start there, since they are now selling them on amazon w/ 4 they may have an update
i dont own one yet
their website is a landing page with just an image and I don't really see any support info

I actually just bout a KOCASO MID-M760 7" Android 4.0 and love it!!!
My only problem is, because there's so little information about it on-line, other than sellers, I can't figure out what to use to root it to save my life.
Which is EXTREMELY frustrating because after I purchased it, I saw that the next model up comes pre-rooted out of the box.
Anybody know how to root this sucker!?
I'd love to drop CM7 on it like I have on my phone.
Thanks in advance to ANYBODY that can point me in the right direction!

Also the m762 firmware on mymidpad.com has been confirmed by kocaso as the compatible firmware for this model, I can't figure out how to put it into recovery though to use the livesuite software. Pressing volume - and the power button 10 times does not work as per similar models!

Hi, I'm trying to get a cellphone, between $100 - $175 dollars at the most but mostly with these specs, I don't need anything expensive right now, since this would be a gift:
RAM: 768 MB - 1GB
Processor: does not matter
Camera: 5MP at least
OS: Android
Could you recommend some models? I would appreciate the help, thank you!
I recommend you 1GB RAM, I have a galaxy ace 2 with 768mb of ram and you can notice the lack of ram.
Don't recommend samsung, makes a lot of models and left unupdated the old ones despite they are quite capable.
xiaomi red rice seems a good option although it seems a bit difficult to get nowadays. Jiayu phones are not bad and ZTE, zopo and THL W100 seems good options.
Hope this helps, may be if you had a list of the phones you are able to buy we cold help you more :angel:

This is what she brings home,
http://androidcommunity.com/hp-mesq...-on-sale-at-walmart-on-black-friday-20131127/
89$ tablet with an intel single core with HT, and I have to admit it is
really snappy and I'm very happy with the build quality. For 89$ this is a game changer for sure.
So I'm currently trying to root with shuame, no success as of yet. I'm using Koush's generic Adb drivers since Hp has nothing on its own device.
Gets 100mflops on linpack and I will put up more benchmarks later.
If anybody has this device and wants to start please feel free.
I was lucky enough to get the last one at my local Walmart this morning at 7am.... couldn't believe that there was still one left 13 hours later.
I am also impressed with its snappiness and build quality all for $89!
Running into a lot of compatibility issues trying to install apps from the playstore. So I came over here to see what my options are.
I am hoping to maybe follow a similar route as I did with my HP Touchpad, which is still running strong.
Thanks for any info!!

No root as of yet.
I have noticed some apps that say they are not compatible in the market.
I have purchased weather bug elite and it said not compatible, but i downloaded it from a 3rd party and it worked just fine. When I figure out the adb drivers and get a stable root, I'm gonna change the build prop to something more common.

Its right on the heels of the Samsung Nexus 10. If we can get some kernel support we could get some more power out of that intel chip. Hell Kit Kat is 64 bit and this is a 64 bit processor.
Also did you get an ota update?
bought one just earlier from my local Walmart, surprising there was 7 left in the closet.
noticed this is HP Tablet 7 1800 with Single Core w/ Intel Atom Z2460 processor x86,
the one sold most places like Staples are 2800 with Rear Camera and Dual Core Processor cost $30-40 more.
wonder what are the chances Developers will make a Port for Kit Kat for this Tablet 7 1800, which seems to be ONLY sold in Walmart. Different from Slate 7 series

wonder what are the chances Developers will make a Port for Kit Kat for this Tablet 7 1800, which seems to be ONLY sold in Walmart. Different from Slate 7 series

Right now we need to work on rooting this tablet so we can mess with governors and such. Also finding an update.zip would also be nice for when we brick anything.
Edit:
I have successfully got the adb drivers to work and can connect to the tablet through adb. no luck with any scripts yet though.
I'm surprised so many people are liking it.

Well it does everything it needs to very well. My only complaint would be the screen is sub par compared to the clarity of my galaxy s3 amoled screen, and the only camera is the front vga one.

Yes sir you exploit is the only working root for this device.
We are running an x86 intel atom cpu so I guess thats why it worked.

I have requested the kernel source, it would be good to get as many people on that forum as possible asking for it.
Crap.... Just saw this Asus Memo for only $10 more, with several better specs

Just picked one of these up. Crossing my fingers that it will be decent and that there is some support from developers. I bet this could be a decent little performer with some governors and ROM tweaks.
You guys should also follow the Razr I here on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i
cause a lot of stuff that is related to our device is also related to yours (because of the Intel CPU)
Hi all hope everyone had a great xmas.
Ive not been in here since the XDA Universal days... glad to see its grown and grown.
Quick question.. I have a cheap chinese 'Welcome' phone
Is it posiable to flash a standard rom to these..as its allegedly got 265gb storage and 8gb ram...
but in reality has 16gb storage and 2gb ram
and Android version is miles out too.. says its 10.0 .. but i suspect its Android 5/6
Its ok for the price.. just wish it would tell the truth.. it may run a bit smoother then.
unsure of the processor though..
Build number l700_lyx_k18_welcome_q_540x1200_128 a16_en_yl_v02
Custom built version ALPS.L1.MP6.V2_WEG.L_P73
cheers for any light you can put on this subject, and appologies if its been asked before.. I didi have a look about in the search feature....
Cheers all...
Hi. I got mugged as well. I thought I was buying a Cheap End Huawei P50 Pro but got a Welcome K40 Pro+,. It has the wallpaper like Xaomi K40Pro+. It should have 16GB RAM 512GB ROM, but sadly, only 0.92902 GB RAM and 4GB ROM. There is a whole raft of lies. It has mainboard , sp7731e_1h10 (32bit). The OS is meant to be Android 11 but it comes up as Oreo. I found the same mainboard on a post from GSM from 2018, a Presto phone that was being rooted by the disappointed owner who complained about loads of bloat and malware.
I can only use 1 app at a time, If I try 2 apps the previous on quits.
