Manual root of Allwinner tablet - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Due to the issue with KingRoot that has been brought to the attention of everyone is there a way to root an Allwinner A83T tablet device manually not using an app.
ADB in linux would be my preferred method if possible. I have found many of the guides for rooting Lollipop devices are either obsolete or just do not work. It is even more difficult if one is trying with Marshmallow. Many of the windows scripts or programs downloadable here are either out of date or just do not work. for one reason or another. I updated the devices in question to Marshmallow but had to move back to Lollipop,after losing access to the internal sdcard. This was when I found out about KingRoot being suspect. Google seem to be making modding Android devices ever more difficult. I hope someone has a solution for this problem.
Thanks.

[Q] disgo Tablet 7900

I've recently bought a disgo Tablet 7900 to have a cheap tablet to play with. In overall, I am pleased with it, however I want to do the following:
Connect to an ad-hoc network using wifi
Install Android Market
For the first option, I think I need root access. I found some topics on the internet which stated Android can connect to ad-hoc wifi networks when modifying 2 files.
However, I cannot find any information on how to get root access on a disgo 7900 tablet. I've tried some "one-click rooting application" such as z4root and Universal Androot, however had no success.
The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and has 2 micro-sd slots, an ethernet port, 2x USB port, mini-HD port and a 3.5 mini-jack for headphone.
So no mini-usb for connection to a pc.
Anyone had any success on getting root access with this device? Or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome, the XDA community is about development. There are several other sites that might be able to specifically address your specific questions and issues.
Posting a message at one of the sites, noted below, more suited to user assistance will probably lead to a quicker resolution. Answers that may apply are already posted! If possible search first.
Your tablet is closely related to the Sylvania 10-inch Magni Tablet - SYTAB10MT (SYNET10LP), where on the androidtablets.net Sylvania Tablets Forum there is a detailed description of multiple root methods and the steps to add adhoc gathered from the xda-developers Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant - xda-developers thread.
There are three (3) forums dedicated to Technical Help for the various models of Superpad's, a similar infoTMIC powered tablet, at apad.tv Main-Forum.
The is one (1) dedicated sub-forum and one (1) Unlisted InfoTM forum in the Infotmic subforums at SlateDroid.com.
There are also the Sylvania/Disgo 6000/AIRIS and Infotmic Based discussions at androidtablets.net of which many of the issues/solutions could apply to your tablet.
As xda pulls users from all over the world, here are a few International discussions as well regarding the 10" infoTMIC powered tablets all of which have similar issues therefore the solution approach are often applicable.
There at several forums related to devices at the Russian - 4PDA
Since the tablet is also closely related the to some models of the Flytouch there are several Spanish discussions on-going at Tabletsmania
Portugal's adroidPT APAD forum has a few discssuion's of the SuperPad.
Finally, there is a post about the specific Hardware ID's "hwver" and how to match it to the appropriate InfoTMIC Update Wrap files described in infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius) which provides some additional links that will get you well on your way to resolving your issue.
Good luck
Hi there
I need to reactivate this topic. I just bought a used Disgo 7900 and upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.3 from their website. Since this is Chineese tablet there is no Android Market and other usefull aps installed. I tryed different versions of the market apk's but none works. All do crash.
Code:
Modell: disgo7900
Android: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #76
Build: GRI40
The problem is, that I can't get it rooted. Gingerbreak does not work. It is trying and trying for hours but without success. There is no "Development"-Menu for activation USB-Debugg - but I installed a USB-Debugg-App for activatiing it.
It seems that the device has a different bootloader. When accessing the recovery mode by pressing "home" - "back" - and "power" it starts automaticly loading a recovery image without having a chance to choose custom files.
The device seems to be similar to the so called Superpad http://www.android-tablet-compariso...pare-android-tablets.php?t1=super2&t2=dis7900
I tryed severa methods form the links above - until now nothing worked. Any ideas how to root this device?
Or is there a chance to have a working custom rom?
Hello hstop,
I've also updated my device to Android 2.3.3.
I've tried to root the device with z4root, however also no luck because it's asking for USB-debugging. I am going to try the app you've mentioned and try again.
Also, no success with installing the Market-app...
Edit: Cannot find an .apk-file to install the "USB Debug"-app. hstop, can you tell me how you installed it on your tablet?
I did this !
On all DisGo tablets with 2.3.3 u need:
USBDebug_1.0.apk
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Cmt_BvYmR3b2FfeGEwc0tRbUd5d0hCaC16SFVaZw
and
SuperOneClick 2.3.3
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Cmt_BvYmR3MEM1LVlxOHlRNDJUNUY0TUJONUxfUQ
Some antivirus programs might show this archive as virus, it's becouse there is expolit for android to root the device.
I will do some tutorial tomorrow.
Sorry for my bad english :/
Cewl! Well done, levvvy! Cannot wait for the tutorial!
And it would be more cewler when the installation of the Android Market is included in your tutorial!
any ideas?
Hi Levvvy, did you have any luck with this tutorial? I have downloaded the above items but the device doesnt plug into the pc so not sure what to do now. thanks
Any progress with the tutorial?
Or has anyone any other ideas how to root this abysmal Tablet

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 (SM-G3502) Rooting Help

So.. After a whole week trying to find a succesful way to root this f***ng phone, no success has been found.
I couldn't find this phone's section on XDA so I'm posting this on the general section...
If anyone could give me the link to the section, it would be very appreciated.
This is the phone:
Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 - SM-G3502C
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: JLS36C.G3502CZCUAOD1
I have tried a number of on android apps, windows software, and even tried rooting manually by adb and linux. But couldn't have a single successful attemp or any signs of advancement...
Can anyone help me out with this phone, the reason I need root is because this is a chinese phone and doesnt have Play Store installed, and I need root access to install Play Store on /system/apps/ and give R+W permission...
Apps tried:
Saferoot
Kingo App Root
iRoot (vRoot/Root Master)
OneClickRoot
TowelRoot
A bunch of .bat rooting scripts
Baidu in-app Rooter
Rooting through ADB (everything was going fine until I had to access Ubuntu's Nautilus, to move the files to /system/ but the device wouldn't mount by MTP, and I couldn't access the files) link to the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210
Any help would be truly appreciated, and If there is a way to install play store without the need of root access, or even a good replacement for play store would be really good.
Also, I have 0 experience on custom recovery, so, If any developer out there could create a custom recovery for this phone, I could give them the recovery.img from this phone and modify it to work on this phone. If that's the way it works, idk XD.
Hi, thank you for using XDA assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything on XDA regarding rooting your phone. You've probably already tried all these but maybe this will help, http://www.xda-developers.com/root/

[Completed] How to root an Ematic EGQ-780

I did search both for this device and rooting in general, and there are a few threads; most with no responses, so I thought I'd try.
I'm looking to root a stock Ematic EGQ-780. Two possibilities came up via Google, One-Click-Root and KingoApp (which is also mentioned in a thread here). KingoApp is mentioned here as being a solution; but when I contacted them, they told me the EGQ-780 is not supported. One-Click-Root also has a page saying they support this tablet; but when I go through the procedure it stops when I'm told to select the correct model and build number and they have not not returned any attempts to contact them for the last 7-10 days or so. The tablet looks to be a pretty standard set-up of Kit Kat 4.4. My main reason to root is that I'd like to be able to change the settings so apps can access the SD card as the on-board storage is only 8 GB. This is a secondary device so it's not crucial; but it would be much more useful if I could root it. Thanks.
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. You will need to ask for help here,

Good luck!

Thanks for quick reply ... I found 3 post regarding xolo q600
but I fear that am I able to do it or not..
Also I am researching more and getting confused about some terms like firmware, xposed frames...
Also is it necessary to install SDK studio from google before start to root ur device...
What is difference between ADB, SDK, Universal Drivers...
Also I am unable to find how to increase internal app storage permanently...
thanks again
If I get success it rooting and installing custom Rom then i will definitely try rooting another devices and learning more and more about android.

1) firmware is the factory installed operating system.
2) Xposed is a custom mod that works on most rooted devices, it let's you customize whatever ROM you have on your device to add new features, this is not required to root your device, it is something you use after rooting. Cross that bridge when you get to it, don't focus on that right now until after you are rooted.
3)Generally SDK is not needed to root a device, SDK is required for building things in android such as ROMs and apps. You won't need to know that until you learn how to be a developer.
4)ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, it is a program on PC that is used to connect device to PC so that PC can be used to manipulate the device depending on what you are doing, basically used to pull data from the device and to push data to the device. There are more complicated things that it does as well but it requires experience to understand what those things are and how they are used.
5)SDK stands for Software Development Kit, it is used to develop software of all kinds to be used on android, again, you only need to know that if you become a developer and takes a while to understand and master.
6) universal drivers are general drivers that are used in android operating systems, these work the same as on PC, they allow the device to use the various pieces of hardware on the device. Just like PC, the device can't use any of its hardware without the drivers.
You are really asking about things that you don't need to know until AFTER you get your device rooted.
You need to focus on discovering if you have locked bootloader first and how to unlock it if needed.
Then you need to focus on the root method for your device.
Then focus on getting custom recovery
Then focus on finding custom ROMs for your device.
Without those things and those things ONLY, all the questions you are asking are doing you no good. You are asking how to perform brain surgery which requires going to college and you haven't even graduated school yet. You are basically putting the cart in front of the horse instead of the horse in front of the cart, the cart can't pull the horse, the horse must pull the wagon.

How to Root Lenovo Tab3 7 Essential (TB3-710F)?

Hi,
I'd like to root my Lenovo Tab3 7 Essential (TB3-710F).
Could anyone please recommend me an application to do that?
I'm asking because I haven't seen any method to ROOT this specific device, for that reason I'm not sure that this could work well.
I've seen that are two populars application to do this:
*Kingroot
*KingOroot
Q1: Has anyone used any of these applications to root this specific device Tab3 7 Essential (TB3-710F), I'd prefer to do it using the apk file, is that ok?
Q2: Are these apps dangerous in any way?
Q3: I see that they are free. Do they come with advertising / ads?
Thanks in advance,
Hi, I tried to root it using Kingroot, Kingoroot and other aplications but it didn´t work. Actually, Kingoroot was "sucessful" but after rebooting the system it didn´t start again. I had to flash the correct ROM TB3-710F_S000025_160613_ROW. I found other post about the same problem with Kingoroot, but it was too late for me. I lost a lot of time fixing the tablet.
Don´t root it for now. Probably in the near future you will find a suitable method to root it.
So still no solution to root this tab until now?
