[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintlypaul:
Hi Everyone,

I know there are stupid people out there like myself that bought a crapy chineese tablet with model msm7227 shown that would like to know how to root the phone. Installing the Gingerbreak apk file and running it seems to do the trick.

I tried to take it a step further and upgrade the android version from 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 following instructions from a russian site that I translated.

Russian site link:

ublaze.ru/forum/ftopic1158.html

I translated the instructions in the website below. Refer to pdf attachment for instruction and pics:

Unfortunately I only managed to go as far as Step 3 G. Click Start to update ARM9.

Your tablet will automatically reboot after the upgrade.

For me after I click start the status changes indicating that it is Changing the Phone to Download Mode

It then switches off the unit and loses the com connection to the phone and the status changes to "Attempting to run Flash Programmer"

It fails then with the status "Software Download Aborted" Error "Could Not Communicate with Flash Programmer". I try an restablish the connection during the status "Attempting to run Flash Programmer" but it makes no difference.

So I have pretty much left it there. If any one else is game to give it a go and have better luck good luck. My unit still works after I reset it but its still on Android 2.2.2.
