I will post my files for you soon!

Please do! I want to try it on the flex.

Try su in a terminal and make sure it works. Though I think you should be good root checker reports ok.

Root files

I take no credit for these programs and files

I used the modded usb windows drivers in file below to install

the drivers for the PMID920

I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 to root the device

selecting option one, and following the on screen instructions

it did not take the first time around, I tried every selection I could

I even un rooted via all methods, but every time it said success

I would check with root check pro and after about the 8th time the damn thing worked.

Try selection ( 1 new ) from the get go, maybe you wont have an issue like me

it kept looking for an ric file, but it would not create it, it seems to have worked

after I created the file.

Now we need recovery, google play, 4.4 kitkat, just messing !

Please post your results.

Edit; got gapps installed, this things turning out to be alright.

needs gps though !

Show some love and hit the thanks.

Have you found any custom roms with Google play and the stock apps that work on it?

How did you guys get it to recognize your device?

Every time I try, it says "Please connect Device with USB Debugging to your computer"

My tablet is connected, with USB debugging on

Did you install the USB driver he attached? Mine just worked the first try.
[General Topics] ArneFW:
Yeah, well, I just installed DPInst in the folder. Was there something else I should do?
[General Topics] lionedas:
Google play works

Google play works great with the stock ROM!

1 root device as above.

2 download JB gapps, unzip it on your PC and copy the system folder over to this device sdcard/download folder

3 find and install root explorer, copy apk to device and install, run it and click parent folder until you are in root directory

now click read write, instead of read only on the top left to give it permission to write files, navigate to sdcard/download where

the JB gapps system folder was copied, click copy with root explorer as paste it in your root directory where the system folder is,

it will ask you if you want to merge the folder click yes and let it finish, once done reboot your tablet and you will be prompted

to set up a Google account.

You now have Google play, Google tts, calander, voice search, gmail and a brand new toy!

What device are you trying to root the tablet from,

From a windows device you download and extract the USB driver files

you may need to run the driver setup as administrator, after install check

and see if you have adb device in control panel, system manager, it should not

have an exclamation sign on it, if you need lead device to driver folder.

Also try another USB port, and try to unplug the device and plug it back in when the program is looking for it.

Im returning mine, as i found at walmart they had a 10.1" tablet for $99 that had good reviews on amazon. This tablet seemed to be hit or miss for the 7 inch version after finding reviews on amazon. awesome that it was found how to find root, i just couldn't stand the screen as it seemed u had to be straight on with it or it was hard to see. for a extra $11 i figured i'd return in to menards and go with the 10.1" tablet. Here is the link for it.

Anyone other than lionedas able to root this thing? I'm getting no where...
[General Topics] dcamel:
I got this tablet just last night. I truthfully wouldn't mind if it couldn't access the market, except that the stock youtube player on the device doesn't seem to be able to play playlists, just single videos, it won't auto-play any playlists.

I've downloaded the android market (Gapps-2.3.4.zip) on the device and installed it, but whenever I try to open the market, it asks me to add an account, and clicking yes just closes back to the main screen.

I tried Lionideas (sp?) steps, downloading both the root by recovery and usb driver. I installed dpinst-32bit.exe, as well as running adb.exe (wasn't sure if both were necessary, or if any further steps are necessary.)

After that, I enabled USB debugging on the device (there's a notification on the top status bar that it's running), connected it to my PC, and ran the runme.bat file. Selecting option one, it tells me to connect a device with usb-debugging enabled, and halts there...as far as I can tell I've followed the steps, can anyone enlighten me?

Can't get root

I'm having a bit of trouble myself following those instructions. I'm not new to rooting, but my in-laws picked up this tablet for my daughter and I'm struggling to make this usable. I've got the usb drivers installed, connected the tablet to the pc and it does seem to recognize it, but when I run the 'runme.exe' , and select option 1, I get the msg 'daemon started successfully' but then it just waits. I'm wondering if the tablet needs to be in some sort of download mode and how I can get it into that mode... Holding the volume down and power button put it into a safe mode and holding volume up and power never even booted it up. Any help would be appreciated, I'm sure there's others in this boat...

Another way to root.

I had trouble with the Bin4ry root as well. I used Kingo Android ROOT and now have root access. I tested with Terminal, getting the # after typing su.

I followed the instructions from lionedas to get the system folder from JB gapps and pasted it to root. (It asked me to replace the system folder, not merge it like lionedas mentioned.) I rebooted the tablet, but I still can't sign in to a Google Account.

I get periodic messages that Google Framework is not working. I've tried two different signed Google Framework apks, versions 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. I get the "can't connect to a reliable server" message.

I have tried editing the hosts file in \etc, per some suggestions people who had the connection problem. The file began simply with 127.0.0.1 localhost, with no other lines. I've added a half dozen ip addresses that people had in various posts followed by android.clients.google.com. I've tried with a # in front of the ip addressed and without. I've tried changing my clock back six months or back a year as well, per some other suggestions.

But now I'm stuck.

Try Kingo Android Root, see if that works. Anyone have suggestions on how to get past the reliable server connection problem?
[General Topics] MagisterSum:
I am curious if this root method has helped anyone else. A bit more info, I went this route when the Bin4ry root wouldn't work for me. I'm running a Windows 8 64 bit system. In installed the device drivers. I could get the command prompt with the fancy green text, and the options to do 1-8, but I would have the same trouble that others had. Hitting 1 would usually say "connect with debugging turned on," and other times I would get two lines of a daemon message, and then it would just hang. I could not get it rooted that way. Kingo Android ROOT worked like a charm.

As for where I'm stuck now, it might belong in another thread. It's the "can't find reliable server" problem in setting up a Google Account. Things I've tried:

1) Different signed Google Services Frameworks.

2) Connecting at someone else's home, in case it was a firewall problem.

3) Adding accounts through settings, through a version of Market (signed 3.1.3), through a version of Google Play (signed 4.0.7, I think)

4) Signing in through YouTube (three different versions).

5) Editing the hosts file in the /etc folder and rebooting, which seems to do the trick for many people.

Before I officially move to a different thread with my problem, I wanted to check if the problem might be my version of files in JB gapps. Could someone who has Play up and running post what versions of the Google Framework, Onetime Init, System Launcher, and Market/Play you have running? Thanks. And keep up the good work!

I got an Goclever smartphone, model Fone 450 with android 4.1.2 and my problem is that Gps didn't work in any configuration for me so i started to serach for any help with this stuff. I found a lot but every method needs a root. So i started to find a root method for my phone and here appear my real problem - I tried hudrets of methods and nothing didn't work for me. I thinks it's problems with a ADB . When I plug in my phone in manager i see "Android phone" > "Android adb composite interface". When I look closer in drivers i saw "HTC Dream adb composite interface" O.o . So what is going on here? If you need any screens or informations to help me just tell, i try to get everything to make this working.

How to root XOLO X1000

***Disclaimer - You accept full responsibility if by using these directions your device explodes, leaves you for another owner, or just decides it doesn't like you anymore. I am not responsible!***

************************************************** *****

***CREDITS***

I did not create Impactor nor Snappea, I just managed to figure out Impactor works to obtain root on this device and many others

ALL credit for Cydia Impactor tool belongs only to its developer Saurik

************************************************** *************

Make SURE you have USB DEBUGGING turned on

Next, you will need suitable drivers, there is a way to install drivers elsewhere but a much quicker way is to go to www.Snappea.com and install this program on your PC, it is just a program that allows your phone to better interact with your PC but the bonus is that it can install generic drivers (including that much needed ADB driver) for almost any device! Once snappea is installed simply connect your phone to your PC when Snappea prompts you to.

Finally go here:

http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/

Download Impactor and unzip the file, once unzipped simply open the Impactor folder and double click the Impactor Application. This will pop up a box that says Cydia Impactor at top on your screen. You should see a drop down menu that currently says "# drop SuperSU su into /system/xbin/su". Make sure that command is showing in the drop down box and press the start button on the right side.

Once this completes you will just need to download your favorite Superuser or SuperSU app onto your device then update binary and you are rooted!

Good luck!!

Been there. Done that. Go ahead and unlock, be sure you update through to Kit Kat if not already there. Be prepared since unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything.

I am wondering if blank button on the phone dialer of my Magician can be remapped to something like the loudspeaker (instead of 'Hold' which appears after a call connects) so that when i make a call I can switch directly to loudspeaker at the touch of a button?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vijay555:
Rob,

I think it's generally thought that enabling the loudspeaker is a hardware limitation, not software. I'm not sure if it is, my VJPhoneShortcuts will do it on WM5, and I just got bored and never tried to find out how to do it on the Magician. However, for remapping the blank button, Mamaich has made a contacts dialler or something similar that can be mapped onto that button. It's an amazing program. If you can't find it on the board, shout out.
