[Completed] Can someone help root ivew i785q tablet? aka hipstreet i8

I have a tablet I cannot root. It is branded hipstreet i8 but is also listed as an iview i785q. I have been searching and can only find listings on where to buy it. I have tried every tutorial and app i could find still no luck. Also I am interested in installing windows 8 on it. I have the android version they also sell a windows 8 version but they were out of stock lol Plus its more fun doing it if its possible to.

Here's the thing, not every device has support fit a root exploit. And low end or uncommon brands generally fall into that category. Chances are there's no way to do it.
You can however ask for support here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259645
Good luck

[Completed] Android Tablet Software Recommendations Please....

I am constantly encountering 'bricked' tablets and only recently came across a Nexus 7 1st Gen 32Gb. It was locked on the Google Logo but I sorted it with the usual volume and power button combinations. I do get them however when that simply will not work and I see all the different versions of software out there to "flash" or reset these tablets. Can I ask which ones the readers on here would unhesitatingly recommend please ?? I would really like to be able to delve further into android tablet problems and hopefully solve them. Many thanks for any advice given...much appreciated.

[Completed] Newbie Help - Root Verizon Phones

Hi - I am new to this site and it's my first post. I am a newbie in RE: rooting Android devices. I have jailbroken iPhone's in the past but it seems that rooting is a bit more involved. Long story short, I have a lot of mobile electronics that require a rooted Android device now and I am at a loss as far as what to get and how to root. I have a few out of contract phones on the Verizon network but none are Android. I need a newer phone that has the Miracast (or cast screen) capabilities with preferably a removable battery, microSD card slot, and a microUSB connection. I went to the root section and not too many of the "newer" phones were listed. I did see the HTC 10 was listed with videos explaining all the steps and then read further in the thread to see that Verizon has somehow hidden the Bootloader (or something to that effect) and it can't be rooted at this time.
Long story short, does anyone know of a phone from Verizon that supports Miracast (or cast screen) and that can be rooted today? If not, I may have to look for an unlocked phone.
Again, I'm a newbie and unfortunately need a lot of guidance at this point but hopefully someday I will be able to assist others as I do on other forums for other things.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I could offer a specific device (LG V10 for example) but don't see any info regarding rooting that model (unless it's too new). Ok, I'll ask over in the other forum.
Thanks again.

[Completed] Replacing the stock os/flashing

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here at xda developers, and perhaps a newbie as well in the (more technical) android world. I've had had two android devices that died on me this past four years. This time around, I want to see if I can still bring my latest device back to life, that's why I've been googling everything in relation with the issue of my phone: stuck logo. Now, like in windows, there might be something like freshly installed android os, even it's just a stock one. And there is, but the problem, I haven't tried flashing before, I have done factory reset though this time around, since my phone won't boot, it's not an option. Besides, as far as my research goes, issues like this require full overhaul of the OS, replace it with a new one.
Now, my agony: I'm already confused with lots of information regarding flashing custom ROMS, or, what I need right now, a stock rom for my phone. BTW, this is a local brand from Philippines, Cherry Mobile H340. Now, I don't have my volume keys working since they are grounded. Is there a way wherein I can install a new stock OS for my phone via the usage of PC and USB data cable only? I don't want to spend another 12 dollars for this phone, if this is something I can still fix without having to spend for a technician even if it takes time, I'll gladly do it.
All responses are highly appreciated, but please, don't make fun of a newbie. Like telling something that won't work then I end up bricking my precious device . P.S. I will accept all corrections regarding my statement above, grammar fixes are also appreciated if there are any .
Thanks, XDA.

[Completed] Lenovo p70

Hey!
Newb here! I just got Lenovo p70 for the sake of battery and low price tbh. And i realized i just hate custom the launcher lenovo made, not only it looks iOS pretentious, it's actually freaking uncomfortable and i knew better when i had my nexus 7 tablet. I'm pretty sure the answers to my wonders somewhere here but i haven't been able to google anything good enough and i figured i would just ask someone experienced. So please bear with me and bother to answer a few questions:
How do i flash stock android without sd card?
Is every phone compatible with every launcher (except for custom apps)?
Where do i get stock android and what software do i need to flash it?
Can i get pc-like tabs in Chrome on mobile?
Thank you in advance!
