[Q] [REQ] NEW DEVICE: NB7850 S (Tablet)

Device info: http://www.bidwelltec.com/nb7850-s/
Will you please help gather support from developers for the NB7850 S. I couldn't find any sites supporting this device by independent developers. I have already sent an email to the site email form, so please don't overload them with requests, just wondering if we could gather interest and support for this device, the stock ROM is already laggy and hard to root or even using sometimes with the way they have this ROM set up. Please help, I am in stock ROM H.E.Double hockey sticks.
Thank you to anyone who can help me root this device and get a recovery flashed and !maybe guide me on developing for this device. I am so lost when it co!es to Android developmemt and would appreciate any help I can get to demystify this. I like to write easy to follow noob related articles so help me, to help you. LoL thank you everyone. ?:good:

Hi, sorry to say but it appears to be a bit of a white box brand so it's unlikely to gain support due to it being unknown and present in many variants of the device.
You would be better to look around for ROMs that support specific components in the device in order to have better luck as their will be similar devices using the same components with one of them probably having a ported ROM such as CM
Hope I could help and good luck

root genius worked for me literally just rooted a few minutes ago took me forever to find one that worked
http://www.shuame.com/en/root/

Root Genius worked for me also
Lot of applications that require root access work fine. Now, how do I do a Nandroid backup? Also, anybody know tried a custom ROM on this device? Hesitant to "just try it" until I have a full Nandroid backup.

I have one of these. Got it for $59.95 on sale via Staples website. A curious thing is that none of the preloaded apps show under My apps and the Store won't automatically update any of them. I had to look them up on the Store and install the latest versions.

[Completed] Gsmart saga s3 root?

Hi all,
Searched everywhere and simply cannot find a solution. Google throws up many fake sites and not much else.
I've purchased a gsmart saga s3, which I'm seriously impressed with, considering my history of a s5 (stolen) both variants of note 2, note 1, mega, s2 and various other devices, all of which I've successfully rooted and done minor development for, so pretty competent though not an expert
I cannot root this device in any conventional method as far as I'm aware. I've tried framaroot, playing around with backups and updates (come to this in a sec) and ADB. I've even gone Into engineer mode and turned root options on and off, as well as engineer mode. This is not dev options, its a function accessed by pressing *#*#something#*#*, can't remember offhand.
The interesting thing is, the phone has a kind of custom recovery already. I can download the firmware directly from gsmarts website and flash it from recovery. This may be a back door?
Anyway, I'm looking for any pointers in the right direction. I wish to remove the bloat mainly, but also try to develop a vanilla ROM for this phone.
I'm happy to try any suggestions at my own risk, have access to a PC, lubuntu, have adb configured but will need step by step, and anything else that may be needed ill try my best.
If there's a solution here I have a feeling a lot of people will love you guys.
Cheers for any and all replies!

Hi,
I can find no discussions on XDA about your device. You would need to ask for help here...
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

Thanks, don't know how to do that so any chance a mod can do that?
Cheers!

Just start a new thread there. Just like you did here.

[Completed] Alcatel A460G Rooting Trouble - pointers, please ??

To start with I wish to say a few things to be as clear as possible:
I have been visiting here for a couple of years already, but never registered because frankly - I was intimidated. I am not a dev, or a coder - I am merely a guy who enjoys tinkering a bit - and I have discovered how much fun cheap Android devices can be.
Lately a chain store has an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (TCL) from tracfone for a mere $5.
It has a nice 4" screen, Android 4.4.2 and better specs than my LG L34C - so I got it.
Searched extensively and the closest info I found was here at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624
It seemed to root with Kingo Root - but only temporarily and its Superuser doesn't work very well at all.
Even tried the method here - but it starts & never completes:
http://androidxda.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
I really want to root this phone and would be happy even if I must use the app to re-install V4.3 from here:
http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-e...bile-upgrade-s-4-3-0-setup-20150126103150.rar
Also, there is a great bit of info posted here with a de-bloated stock ROM & recovery - but how can I flash it if it will not fully root and/or SU does not work ??
It seems most likely this phone has its bootloader locked by tracfone, and that maybe it is what stops it from rooting - but I do not know enough to be sure.
Any pointers to good help will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks.

[Completed] General rooting info (please help)

Hello, new member here. Let me start with I apologize if there is a general tutorial explaining everything I am about to ask, I have looked and cant seem to find one. I know and understand how to root and what the basics are that it allows. I have rooted several phones for the sole reason of cleaning preinstalled apps to make more space. The problem is I bricked my last phone and am now using my new LG G Stylo. I have no real idea about what or how recoveries work. Also kernels and roms. I am looking for a general tutorial explaining pretty much everything about rooting. Like how to mAke and use a recovery, what roms are and how to use them, same with kernels. Nothing too in depth, just the basics so that when I do root this phone I can have a recovery ready and set up, and get the full potential of rooting.
Also if anyone knows of a tutorial for the LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631) that goes over the best setup for this phone for speed,space, an functionality.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank You, Nikkon

Thank you, I thought about there first but figured that doesnt make sense. My questio.s are mainly general. I was only stating my new phone and asking a quick aquestion abbout that, but the main gist of this post has nothing to do with the LG G Stylo. The main questions and even topic of post is general questions just explaining what it means to root and what kernels, roms, etc. actually are. In general. Thank you for some type of feedback tho. Its appreciated.

[Completed] Need to 'fix' nextbook p 7

I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Although there are some guides that could help you solve your problem, none of them seem to have working links for you to download and use.
Because of this, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
