I'm not having much luck with this method. My serial number is YF101202477.

It says "upgrading...please wait" then goes to a blank screen with the orange status light and never changes, even after about 20 minutes. I can then power off and boot again with no changes having been made.

I don't know where to go from here. Too bad. It seems like a nice tablet but will be going back if I cannot root it.
[Android General] mascondante:
Glad to see the forward progress :) . Now a stock ROM being posted here would be an amazing next step as I accidentally wiped mine.
[Android General] Jason_25:
I got it to work with the original files. I had to format the micro sd card and make sure the 4 files were the only ones on it. I was not able to use my own su and superuser with a zip that I had signed myself. Are the Italian hackers using a specific key to sign the zip with? I don't see any errors with my zip so I have nothing to go on.

Anyway, I was able to easily copy my su and superuser over the original, remove some crapware and hard reset. Interestingly, the system partition seemed to be mounted rw by default. Also, the Net Nanny application appears to have been installed after the system image, not by a script on the tablet but probably manually by someone at the factory. Once you hard reset, it's gone.
[Android General] mclaugh01:
I am really wanting to root my tablet so that I can access the Google Play store, at least I think that's what I need to do. I am new to all of this so please keep that in mind if respond (i.e. I'm = to tablets for dummies).

Has anyone gotten the Google Play store to work on theirs?

If I use the zip file provided by the previous link do I need to have anything else on my tablet so that it runs correctly after I "root?"

I want to keep my tablet but if I can't access this app then it's not worth it because I can't access other apps that I need (i.e. Cannon iEPP, iFM by Griffin, Touchdown for Smartphones so I can access my contacts, etc....nope, they are not available on other sites/stores, I already checked).

Do I need to back up the original software on the tablet before I do this and if so how do I back everything up in case I do something to this tablet?

BTW here's what I know I have if that helps although I don't really know what any of this means

Android Version: 4.0.4

Kernel Verion 2.6.34

Amlogic@droid #395

Model: Next8P12

Build Number: V2.02.IMM761.eng.root.20121010

Thanks to anyone who is willing to help. I am terrified that if I do this I may break (or is that "brick") my tablet so that it is unusable.
[Android General] Steeldiver88:
The thing that confuses me most about this tablet is the lack of support for games. Even though it's based on the ARM Cortex A9, almost nothing runs on it. Does anyone know why?
[Android General] act5860:
Worked first time. Thanks
[Android General] act5860:
Can verify that this works. Thanks for the hard work.
[Android General] patriciogac:
Do you downloaded the rom from the link I gave you?
[Android General] modem_over:
Got functioning play store.

Using the method listed out here i was able to gain root to the tablet. From there i installed root explorer file manager so that i could edit system files. I then downloaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed ( The Google apps made for CM roms ) and extracted it to my SD card. I then copied the folder System into the root of the tablet. This is the part that requires a good file manager that will let you change the root of the system to R/O. Root explorer works fine. I dont know of a free app. It warns that you will be overwriting the /system folder and you have to approve the merge. This copies all the .apk files and the frameworks. After that reboot and i was able to access the play store. I have been able to install all my usual apps with out a hitch except for it seems Chrome. I did install g mail and it works Flawlessly. So far i have not had a single force close or glitch of any kind.

Well I tried the italian method, and when I restarted holding the - button it showed an error symbol instead of the loading symbol.

Dunno what's wrong but any help would be appreciated.

Anyway my device is not a Nextbook like yours, but is based in aml8726-m3 chip and the root method from the italians work without modifications. How can I help?

[Android General] tsaiho:
Thanks!

The 'Italian' system worked great, unzipped the 4 files to a 2G sdcard, powered off completely, then powered up while pressing the '-' of the volume rocker switch. File explorer showed "su" in /bin. I installed an old free "Better Terminal" apk I had, su'ed to root and copied an unzipped gapps package to /. Works great now, thanks so much to this board and its members.

My external card was under /sdcard/external_sdcard. I cd'ed here, then entered in Better Terminal "cp -r * /system". Rebooted, the tablet said "Updating Android" for a while, then Playstore was there in the Apps folder, and accepted my normal Google sign in. SWEET!

Tried on my NEXT8D12F

I actually did try it. Firstly when I boot in up with - + power and I have the sd card in the slot it just sits on one of the welcome screens and doesn't budge.

I then tried booting into recovery without the sd in the slot, then once I got to that screen I put the sd in and selected the only files I could, the zip file, off the sd card but yes as patriciogac said I got signature error. The same thing happened when I used another one that is suppose to work with my chipset, Crystal_Root.
[Android General] patriciogac:
Did you tried booting into recovery with the sdcard in the slot?
[Android General] tenspeedtodd:
Yeah that was the first thing I tried, but it froze on one of the welcome screens and didn't budge for a long period of time.

I was able to root my tablet using the "Italian Method" (props to those guys) but now I need a "wpa_supplicant" file that will allow me to see/connect to ad-hoc wireless connections, such as from a phone's.

I tried a few that were for the Premium 7, but they didn't work for the 8.

Yeah, that is the ROM I uploaded, Is originaly for the Master G g810c, so I suppose that this is the same hardware tablet with other brand.... I rooted this tablet with the method I posted before (thanks again for the italians!)... but what I want is someone with the knowledge to make a custom rom... I think on the other hand that is more probably that Nextbook would update to Jelly Bean than Master G (chilean brand)... Anyone can make it happen... or someone can try to lead us on the right diretion, to port CWM at least perhaps?

Nexbook Premium 8se

So I just picked up a NextBook Premium 8se from walmart the other day. Seamed like a steal for the price but other then the 3G USB dongle trick over on freaktab,. and a few buggy roms I'm having a hell of a time finding solid information on rooting this thing.. I tried the Italians patch, but it hangs on the nextbook splash screen (the green startscreen)..

this is what I've done

*Formatted (FAT32) SanDisk 8GB microSDHC

*Placed the contents of PATCH.zip into the root directory of SD

*Powered off device

*Inserted SD

*Held vol- and Power until splashscreen appeared > then released.

All it does it hang on the first splash screen :/

My current set up is as follows:

Windows 7 Premium for sd prep

SanDisk 8GB microSDHC

Nextbook NX008HD8G with WiFi 8" Touchscreen Tablet PC

NOTE: I am able to load recovery using vol- and Power as long as the SD card is NOT inserted..

Nextbook Premium 8se is really locked down and this attempts to load a costume recovery from external sd to flash the update since the company refuses to release the keys and the stock recovery will only load signed update, but like i said it hangs at slash...:/ what am i doing wrong here... is my device not compatible with this patch????
[Android General] ToriVega:
I'm successfully rooted and I tried to install gapps. I moved the contents of the gapps zip to the /sytem folder using root explorer. I'm having 2 problems and the solutions offered for other devices experiencing these problems have not worked for me.

1. I get the 'Android is upgrading...' message on every boot.

2. I also repeatedly get the message 'Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.'

I can access Play store, which is all I wanted.
[Android General] omniterm:
I purchased the Nextbook Premium 8se from Walmart(NX008HD8G) and accidentally erased the firmware using usb burning tool and was able to recover it using firmware for the Multipad 8.0 Pro Duo http://www.prestigio.com/catalogue/MultiPads/MultiPad_8.0_Pro_Duo#/product-support/firmware there is ICS and JB firmware I flashed the ICS version but in ICS rotation is not working correctly when holding the tablet the display is always 90 degrees off. other roms I tried fail to flash due to failing a UTC time not being newer than expected. will flash the JB version later to see if it is any better
[Android General] patriciogac:
Do you have any resolution problems? The Multipad is 1024x768 and has a dual core 1500Mhz... Can you give us some details please!
[Android General] omniterm:
the only problem I notice is the display rotation is always 90 degrees off I just finished flashing the JB version and it has the same rotation problem. the screen resolution is my device is the newer one purchased at walmart has a resolution of 1024x768 and a AMLogic Dual Core Processor Cortex 1.5Ghz. the specs for the newer nextbook model NX008HD8G and the multipad are very similar.
[Android General] gregthomas129:
I have this exact same tablet and have searched over and over trying to find a root method for it. The NX008HD8G is not the same tablet as the Big Lots black Friday tablet and the root methods and roms for the premium 8 don't work and Nextbook/EFUN/Yifang haven't released the source for it. But since you've found that this firmware will load I'm wondering if it can be used to make a rooted custom rom for the NX008HD8G.
[Android General] omniterm:
Possable Root

only possible way to root the NX008HD8G is using a USB 3G Modem and USB OTG Cable. there is a file in /system/etc/ that is writable don't remember the name and I hard bricked my tablet so unable to check the exact name. but it has ppp in the name, you can modify the script to copy su and Superuser to the correct directory's and set permission. when file is ran from cmd I get a permission denied but if USB 3G Modem is connected the script is run as Root. since I don't have a 3G USB Modem and USB OTG Cable I was unable to test. some people have used this method to root tablets based on the AML Chip
[Android General] gregthomas129:
Right... but it may not be the only way... if you are able to load the Multipad firmware, then a dev may be able to take the Multipad firmware and root it for our tablets. Are you sure there were no other major problems running that firmware?
[Android General] omniterm:
the only problem I found was the orientation was 90 degrees off other than that I did notice anything else wrong. had play store and access to most google apps. chrome was the only google app I noticed that was not compatible. I tested both the ICS and JB firmware
[Android General] cogioia:
Can I ask how you flashed this firmware? I tried this but I got an assert fail from the updater-script because of the mismatched device ID.

Thanks!
[Android General] rmarcus:
how about the next7p12-8g?

I tried the italian method without success, but didn't brick it though.

Has anyone seen any root method that could work on that one?

Have a good one!
[Android General] ToriVega:
Anyone that tries this method to add gapps be warned that you will get force closes frequently. Mainly google.process.gapps. Pretending that it doenst isnt really helping anyone.

Amlogic Next8P12 (NXM805MC) Modified Recovery - Stock Rom - Root & Gapps

Modified recovery, stock rom, flashable root and flashable Gapps here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?6581-Amlogic-Next8P12-%28NXM805MC%29-Modified-Recovery-Stock-Rom-Root-amp-Gapps

ShaunMT
[Android General] Uncle Louie:
Thats awesome, thank you!

Question, though...How do I access the modified recovery? When I boot using Power/Vol - I get the android/red triangle error.

Thanks Again!
[Android General] shaunmt:
First, I assume you unzipped the modified recovery and placed the uImage_recovery file on your external SD card?

Second, assuming my first assumption above is correct, it sounds like you have something else on your external SD card that needs to be removed, most likely an aml_autoscript from some other update package? An aml_autoscript file is a special updater script that automatically runs with no user interaction when you boot into recovery. If you have one of these on your external SD card, it would try to load upon booting into recovery and most likely fail, resulting in your red triangle. If I am correct, removing the aml_autoscript file will allow recover to boot normally.

If I am mistaken, please provide some more details concerning the steps you followed and the contents of your SD card and I will try to help further.

ShaunMT
[Android General] Uncle Louie:
Yes, I unzipped the uImage_recovery file and placed it on my external SD card. I also placed the gapps and root zips on it.

The SD card that I am using was freshly formatted, so there were no other files on it. I was able to get into a recovery by pressing the +/- volume buttons a few times (this was while the red triangle was on screen). I am unsure which recovery that it was in; I attempted to flash the zips, which the recovery said was successful. However, when the tablet was rebooted, there were no gapps.
