I am trying to use Android Studios to Flash a custom OS onto my Razer 2.
The Razer does not connect to Wi-fi and does not have a sim card inside, so I am trying to use a workaround for the Playstore and install the CPU app to retrieve the correct Platform information from my phone. This way I can download the right Gapps File (ARM or ARM x64). and load TWERP so I can flash the ROM.
So:
1. Install Zip Archive App on Razer 2 Via android studios
2. Install CPU APK on Razer 2 Via SDK Toolkit and use Zip app on Razer to extract APK and fully install CPU on Razer
3. Check Razer Processor Architecture (ARM or ARM x64)
4. Install Gapps file and ROM
5. Boot in recovery mode and boot up TWERP
6. Use Twerp to wipe phone and install ROM and Gapps
Is there a guide on XDA forums to find out how to install APKs via USB C (Android -> PC, PC -> Android) ? I am super new to using the SDK Toolkit and it's all foreign to me.
If anyone knows where to find the platform information on phone without CPU app, please let me know. I would love to skip these steps if there is a way to do so under phone info.
I do not want to google it in case the site is incorrect. I also want to learn how to look for it on my own.
Thanks again!

Instructions for the Surftab Breeze 7:
In this case it's really easy to get the tab rooted. It already has the su binary installed Get SuperSU from market and let it do the rest.
Instructions for the Surftab Ventos 8:
Big news!
I made it to make another rooting method without the use of any 3rd party software!
It's also not important which OS you are using.
Pre-requisites:
Get a Micro SD card! (up to 8GB as it seems that more than 8GB cannot be used to activate CWM)
Instructions:
1. Get my custom clockworkmod recovery zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995984
2. Unpack the zip file on the root of your micro SD card (there has to be a file named uImage_recovery now)
3. Download the attached signed_SU.zip file and put it either on your internal or external SD (do NOT unpack it)
4. Shutdown your Tab
5. Keep Volume- pressed and tap the power button (while still keeping the Volume- pressed) until you see the clockworkmod menu
6. Choose "install zip from sdcard"
7. Depending on the fact where you have the zip stored, select either the internal or external card
8. Select the zip and confirm its installation with "Yes"
9. After the script finished, hit reboot and check if you have SuperSU installed
This should be it
To do:
I'll make a new thread helping in installing the Playstore without having to root our ventos tablets.
After the tablet rebooted twice you should see SuperSU now as installed application. Now you just need a working play store apk and move it into the system partition (don't forget chmod to 644) to get the Play store running.
Instructions for the Surftab Ventos 9.7:
As I don't have anyone with a rooted 9.7 at the moment (to get a dump of the stock recovery), I can't make a working CWM to get the below signed_SU.zip flashed, sorry! Only the old rooting method listed below only works at the moment (if moborobo is in a good mood )...
As usual I don't take any responsibility for bricked devices (but I assume that the chances of bricking are nearly impossible)
If you have any questions, let me know!
Old Rooting method:
Code:
Hi,
I know, many of you don't know these tables at all. But as far as I know, these are only available in Germany at the moment.
Anyways, I think it is helpful for my German colleagues to know how to root these tablets as they don't need to search for hours and hours until finding a solution that is suitable (as I did :-/ ).
The Windows way:
Pre-requisites:
0. A Windows PC
1. Download Moborobo ([URL]http://www.moborobo.com/download/[/URL])
2. Install any Updates Moborobo needs to install
3. Download the latest release of bin4ry's universal rooting for most ICS and JB phones/tablets ([URL]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460[/URL])
Thanks to bin4ry by the way :)
4. Download my modded Runme.bat
Instructions:
1. Unpack the 7z Archive from point 3 into Moborobo's installation folder. The result should be that you have a new folder "stuff" and a runme.bat and runme.sh in the Moborobo folder
2. IMPORTANT: Unpack my modded runme.bat into the MoboRobo folder and delete the original batch file
3. Start Moborobo and ignore any exceptions which are thrown out (at least my Visual Studio nagged me all the time, and no, I wasn't willing to debug the application :p )
4. Connect the Tablet to the PC and wait until Moborobo says that it is connected
5. Then start the modded Runme.bat and follow the instructions (select the first option by the way, which says "Normal")
6. Watch the screen, you need to click on Restore on your tablet (without any passwords)
7. See the magic happen
The Linux way:
Here is the feedback of an owner of a Trekstor Ventos 9.7:
[QUOTE]
Hi,
[...]
I am using Linux (old Fedora 15), I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.zip without any modifications to root the device. I ran the unix shell script that is provided in the package and selected option 1 for rooting, just as you suggested. I did not really understand why you needed the mobo tool, Bin4ry's script seems to work out of the box.
After that I installed SuperUser with latest busybox, terminal app and a console version of openssh, all that also works just fine.
I did not try Google Play or any other market, I use the device without a Google account, so I actually removed the preinstalled AndroidPit market and got rid of everything that wanted to collect my personal data.
I hope some day I can post in the thread but right now I do not see anything else where I could participate to gather those annoying 10 posts.
Again, thanks for your initial walkthrough, it gave me the hints I needed.
Kind regards,
Jin

DOES the Play Store work on your device???
All other sources on the net say that the Play Store is not possible on the device...
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk 2
Yes,it works. but only if you root your tablet. Also it's important to move the playstore.apk into the system partition...DON'T INSTALL IT like a normal apk...
Then reboot and you're done..if you need help pm me..
Can confirm that this method is also working with the 7" Breeze. Moborobo was not able to recognize the device, but manual install of a ADB driver for the Breeze showing as non-working "Android" in the system settings device table enabled it to see it. From there rooting was indeed a "breeze" Play Store and USB devices on host working fine. Great job, thanks for sharing!

Oh this sounds good...I was searching for a method to manually install the adb driver for our tablets...can you share how you did this? it sucks having moborobo always running for a little adb work...
I had ADB installed previously with the latest Android SDK as fastboot was acting up on my Win 8-64bit. So the devices manager in settings was already showing a not properly installed Android USB device. I changed the USB connection on the Breeze to "MTP" , and in the computer device list chose to update the driver for this USB device manually - and then chose to search computer for drivers. Under Android USB devices I chose Android ADB Interace (Google ADB driver 7.0.0.1 previously installed with the SDK) - and was able to see the device as ST70104-1413fc082 with "adb devices" from the computer. Its funny, we both speak German, trying to explain in English... . Hope it helps.
Yes,indeed funny
Thank you for your explanations..if i get adb to work too i will update my guide
Thanks again
Edit: doesn't work unfortunately but i heard that on Linux it isn't a problem to get adb running properly...
didnt work for me
hi
I just saw this post and tries doing s instructed but:
1-couldnt get into recovery mode ! I tried the volume down button but it would boot the tab into safe mode
2-tried volume up button but it goes to a black download mode screen and restarts.
3-tried the other method through Moborobo but that didnt work either , it tells me it succeeded but there is no root.
by the way I have the 8" on Jellybean
I just want a way to make more space or install aps on my SD card
Has anyone successfully rooted a Trekstore Surftab Ventos 7.0 HD with some of the above mentioned methods? I've tried both bit without success....
The reason for me wanting to root is to get Tasker running on it. It depends on some google maps framework. The 7.0 HD has playstore and maps but i suppose something is missing and I have to root to get the missing files.
If anyone has some advice I'll be very glad. Cheers

Is there a difference between the ventos 7 and the ventos 7 breeze? And are there any KitKat ROMs available?
this is a adb based scrpit for flashing system apps(for asus zenfone 4)(works on other kk devices too but tested on asus zenfone 4)
do with your own risk
is it not a bit annoying and tiresome to make a flashable zip and making temorary cwm ready and then flashing the apps(apks/jars) with it? Doesn't it consume too much time specially when you're yourself themeing and testing your apks?
No need to worry anymore, now you can flash your modded apks directly from your pc just by connecting your device to pc.
Requirements :
1. Pc with jdk and usb drivers installed.
2. Rooted device.
3. Usb debugging enabled.
How to flash your apks using this script :
Download attatchment from below and open read me file and follow the instructions.
I've created and posted this script specially for asus zenfone 4 becuase it doesn't direclt allow the files to be pushed via adb.
This is a thread concerning our blu phones. Anything from porting roms to rooting. I will upload a rooting guide later.
How to root Blu Dash Jr
Hello Blu Dash Jr XDA users. I'm here with a guide on how to root the Blu Dash Jr smartphone.
Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING IN THE EVENT SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
IMPORTANT This rooting method is for Windows XP but i found a way to install the drivers on Windows 7 32 Bit, it also works on Windows 7 64 Bit.
1. Download the attached file from below. Also download the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
2. Extract the file to anywhere on your PC.
3. Install the android sdk.
4. After installing the android sdk, you have to add the android device id for the Blu Dash Jr. This is a spreadtrum device and their android id is 0x1782. We will use this later.
5. After installing the android sdk navigate to your home folder which would be in C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\ and go to the .android folder. If you don't see this folder you may have to enable hidden folders in control panel.
6. Open the adb_usb file with either notepad++ or any text editor. Add the android id from step 4 to the file. An adb_usb file is in the attached files to see how it looks.
7. Disable UAC and any antivirus that you may have.
8. For windows 7 only install the drivers from the folders SCI-Usb Jungo v4 and SCI-USB2Serial v1.5.6.1. For windows xp install all the driver files.
9. Install vroot.exe and run it. Enable usb debugging on your phone and connect it to your computer.
10. Click on the root button on the vroot program and once the phone reboots you should have root.

Hi,
if you are running a debian based distro, you have first to install adb and fastboot from manager or using apt-get.
2/ check if file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules is present and contains correct description of your phone idVendor and idProduct
if not run lsusb and add the following line
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="your idVendor", ATTRS{idProduct}=="your idProduct", MODE="0666" GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"
3/ service udev restart
4/ unplug and plug again your phone and run adb devices, it will show a long number and letters with UNAUTHORIZED. that's OK
5/enter fastboot mode and unlock your bootloader with : fastboot oem unlock
6/ enter fastboot mode when booting your phone and type this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
( you have to rename twrp.img to recovery.img)
that's done you can now boot to twrp and install su.
hey there avrmge!
thanks for the reply, but I already sent the device back to the seller, it was too far below my expectations.

Hello,
the procedure above generally works with any other android device,
i think the main problem with this phone is lack of notification led, no 3.5mm jack and sometimes battery drains too fast. except that, it is as normal as other models in same segment. what were your expectations ?
well, I was disappointed with the problems you mentioned and also:
-) no light sensor ( --> no automatic brightness)
-) accelerometer has only 2 axis working
-) no gyroscope
-) no proximity sensor
