[Miscellaneous Android Development] Headcrash77:
Greetings,

I Apologize if i have posted this in the wrong place, but I did check the forums, and this seemed like a suitable place to post about an android device that isn't listed. (nor yielded any search results.)

I recently got an ONDA VX580W MP4 Player and Have been trying for days now to Root the device, without any luck.

Methods I Have tried:

I have searched countlessly for Specific Onda VX580W related information, and most i have found relates to the other version of the model with the "AllWinner" chip, so that was useless to me.

I did however find some info on this China Digitals. (if you wish to see it, since i cant post links, search "Chinese digitals onda vx580w rk28xx custom rom"

But when I used the necessary programs to flash the device (and the software said it was successful). My device just sat there with a black screen. (and I did wait quite a while) Fortunately, It was still able to connect via USB so i was able to RE-Flash the device with the original .img from ONDA's website.

There was also another topic mentioned in that China Digitals post (The one reffering to MP4Nations), which also stated to have Rooted firmware compatible with my device, however this had the same results. At the time, I was pretty mortified, since I thought that I had bricked my device TWICE.

(And i have tried Registering on China Digital forum to ask them about it, but it requires the Administrator to Verify accounts, rather than via verification email, so I'm unable to ask, since its been several days now and vie still had no verification.

I did try the image from the Original China Digitals post ONCE more, but again, black screen, and nothing. So I restored it to its original state once again.

I have also tried, these Apps, directly on the device:

z4root ~ No success.

Universal-1-click-root ~ No success either.

GingerBreak (Latest) - No Success

I have also tried using the software Super One Click. (and I also tried this after having installed Java JDK and Android SDK)

Most of the time it just freezes (Not Responding) after getting to

"step 2: Starting ADB Server"​

, OR it gets all the way to "Check if Shell Rooted Step#3" and then stops responding. I have also tried this on 3 different computers, 2 being 64bit, the other being 32bit. (All windows 7).

I Then moved on to trying to unpack the Update.img and modify the boot.img and the system.img to allow root access. But ive hit a bit of a stand still. Ive managed to edit the boot.img default properties file to have the value "secure=0", but i cannot modify the system.img with NewTux Flash tools, which is supposed to open and modify system.img files, since it does NOT like the system.img that belongs to my tablet.. it just gives me an error. So i cant open it to get rid of the stock apps or change write privileges to add root access. And i tested opening a cyanogen 7 system.img with it, and that opens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
