[Hisense Sero 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adambomb_13:
This info is all over the place on the forum so I decided to add it to its own little area for those who need it. Enjoy

I am going to step by step tell you how to root and get CWM recovery in hopes this will help someone and in turn they can help me by at the least giving me a nandroid backup or something so I can restore my brick. I take no credit for these meathods theywere done by other XDA members I am only repeating what I searched and read throughout the XDA threads if you want to know who the members are Google or search XDA.and I take no responsability for anything you do to your device thats on you this is all for your reading pleasure.

ROOT

From Klown80's post

Before doing anything make sure your device is completely updated

#1 you can search all over to get the drivers to connect your tablet or use this: Snap Pea Android Connect (Make sure you have USB Debugging checked under the Dev settings before you connect your device when prompted

#2 Use Cydia Impactor for Root its easy just download it to your PC and run it: Cydia Impactor Sero 7 LT Rooter "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." Quote Klown80

#3 Add your favorate SU, Super User APP,update the binary and test the root permissions with a root only app. You may also want to get busybox if you perfer

CWM RECOVERY

This is from Takenover83's post

#4 First download the ClockworkMod Recovery Image here: CWM Recovery Image Download

#5 Upload the image to your external SD card/ Micro SD and change the name of the file to " update.img "

#6 use a file manager like root explorer or ES file manager or whatever and right click the file and chmod 644 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (This is extremely important it will not work otherwise)

#7 I just simply plugged my SD card into the tablet and it updated automaticaly but if that isnt the case for you go into the stock recovery and Choose the option to update via rkimage from external storage

Use EXT SD card as Internal Memory

#8 You must be rooted.

#9 Download Root Explorer ( only if you dont have it) from playstore(paying ) or use ES File Explorer ( free) from playstore. Then instal it.

#10 Download vold.fstab from here Moded Vold.Fstab for the Hisense Sero 7 LT , copy it to your sd card.

#11 Open Root Explorer find the vold.fstab in the sdcard hold it and hit copy,Then hold it and hit the move button. Then paste it in the "etc" folder if it ask something hit yes, go back to the "system" folder and paste it. Hold the vold.fstab an change the permisions to 644 rw-r--r--. .

#12 Reboot an enjoy!!!!!

How to access stock recovery power the tablet off. Then hold the power button and - Down at the same time, when the HISENSE logo appears release the power button while continuing to hole the - Down button until the android appears. Then press the power button and the + up buttons at the same time to access the menu if it does not take on the first try continuw to press the power and + up buttons until it appears.

Here is a link to the firmware tools software for rooting,modding and building roms for the rk3066 chip, I wrote to the manufacture to get the stock recovery firmware image so hopefully we will have that soon here the link for the tools:
