You put the super user zip on your sdcard, and use the recovery to install it.

This tablet will most likely become one of the most popular tablets out there, 2GB Ram,16GB internal sdcard, intel dual core, $45.

Sale is over cause newegg sold completely out of them.
[Dell Venue] narc0tics:
i don't think i'm in the right recovery because i only have an option to do tf update from sd card. how do I get to cwm recovery? If I try to install the super user zip from the tf update option it fails
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
You need to follow instructions from first page.

You need to be using tethered cwm recovery to install super user zip.
[Dell Venue] narc0tics:
I'm trying to but i'm not really sure where I'm going wrong, sorry. After I run run-me.bat I select A2, option 1 for tethered, device, then it stays on <waiting for device> .. On the device it reboots into Droidboot provision OS. From there I have a recovery option and underneath that it says fast boot command waiting.. if I choose recovery mode it takes me to Android system recovery <3e> with options to reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and TF card udpate.
[Dell Venue] dawgdoc:
Check in your computer's Device Manager for the connection to your tablet. This occurs when the drivers are not up to date. In Device Manager, if I am correct, you will see the yellow triangle (yield sign). right click on the tablet's icon, select properties, and then select to update the driver. There is a link to a youtube video a few pages back showing this.

[Dell Venue] oakwcj:
Does the device ID say "unauthorized?" If so, you must press O.K. on the pop-up on the tablet. If you missed this, as I did the first time, your tablet will reboot into droidboot. That sounds like the problem. Make sure the Device ID does not say "unauthorized" before you run the tethered recovery.

sorry i didn't get this out last night . . .

you'll need to put the superSU / superuser zip on your external sdcard then use the tethered recovery to install it like you would normally in recovery . . .

option T3 hopefully will work for your devices let me know , i'll update the OP later tonight but busy @ work today :(

Do you know if iView SupraPad i700 8GB is able to run Linux?

How can I install Debian/ Ubuntu on it? Links?

Found on net just Linux for ARM ... Is this tablet Android x86?

Thank you.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Haven't gotten mine yet but I don't think so looking at the firmware on their site it looks to be a locked bootloader and osip header it is x86 though.

The Toshiba is uefi and Intel's open source graphics but don't know if the uefi supports unsecured booting If it does that one should be able to boot anything
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
Yes, bootloader is locked, the dell unpacking scripts unpacks and repacks boot.img just fine, but unable to boot modified boot.img cause bootloader is locked, full firmware is on iview website, includes some type of flashing tool.
[Dell Venue] joanneyang:
My A1-840 also is rooted successfully

Thanks to SDC and M. Ray, now my A1-840 is also rooted successfully. I also put Su on sdcard0. After it is rooted, I have to go to Play to install Su again to make it pass root checker. This is also true for venue7.

By the way, after I installed X-posed module on A1-840, it went into a boot loop after reboot. Luckily I was able to use SDC's mykit to get back to sdcard0 to un-install X-posed,

I'm trying to root my iview i700 with this script, but I can't get it detected by the ADB driver(which installed fine) once I enable USB debugging. Since a couple of people managed to root theirs, I'm assuming it should work.

I tried searching the iview website and downloading the latest google driver, just in case and still no luck.

Also tried on both win7 x64 and win8.1.1 x64 with the same result.

Do I need to use a different driver and if so, where can I find it?

As SDC said, T3 also works for me. On both A1-840 and venue7 I did get the error message, just ignore it, go to Play to install Su, then root is established.
[Dell Venue] oakwcj:
I used the adb driver installer on adbdriver.com.
[Dell Venue] Haxxa:
So the root worked however after rebooting I am in a bootloop - (random pixels appear on screen and the boot stops) - I decided to wipe data but after rebooting into GUI next reboot results in same problem. I am happy to reinstall OTA but I cannot, as DELL's OTA causes bootloader to be unlocked / warranty void. Anyway to reinstall OTA without voiding warranty. Dell's Guide voids warranty -

Also how the heck is this happening nothing I have done should have caused a bootloop - never seen the behaviour of random pixels appearing / artefacts on Android before either on all of my devices though my years of tinkering.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Well this is a first for me. . . the tethered recovery launches so you should be able to get a adb root shell, I would mount system rw and pull and edit the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh removing the daemonsu entry so it doesn't start wipe cache and reboot to see if it resolves the bootloop and pixel issues , I've not tested the 64 su bin but maybe that's the issue since those devices have 64 kernels and 32bit android? Not sure really but disabling su is where to start. Everything the tethered launcher does should be in ramdisk so shouldn't be the issue so the daemonsu is the only issue I can think of.
[Dell Venue] SamKook:
Thanks a lot, that worked.

I tired the A1 method with the intel kit from the first post, but it failed at the following:

issue fastboot oem startftm command to start adb service:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown OEM command)
finished. total time: 0.308s

and the A2 method doesn't find anything installed so I'm guessing I'm missing something and haven't seen any mention of it in the first post so I guess I'll have to do a bit more research first.

I have not been able to get flash player to work on Intel based tablets. I have no problems with Arm based tablets, all I need to do is to custom-patch the flash player then it works.

On Intel based tablets, both venue7 and Acer A1-840, I tried everything I found on Line but to no avail. To get flash player to work is one of the main reasons why I want to root the devices. Will be greatly appreciative if anyone can advise how to do it.

[Dell Venue] kwmkwm:
Sorry, I haven't even tried looking for ROM's yet. I'm thinking about porting CWM recovery, but I've never created one before so I'm still reading up on the details. Looks like I need to extract the factory recovery partition, but I can't figure out where it is stored. I've got:

mmcblk0

mmcblk0boot0

mmcblk0boot1

mmcblk0gp0

mmcblk0p1

mmcblk0p2

mmcblk0p3

mmcblk0p4

mmcblk0p5

mmcblk0p6

mmcblk0p7

mmcblk0p8

mmcblk0p9

mmcblk0rpmb

mmcblk1

mmcblk1p1

mmcblk1p2

mmcblk1p3

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Its stored in the osip header which is a single partition that holds boot.img fastboot.img recovery.img splash.img and on some devices other stuff.

If I remember I think most Intel devices contain 7 slots in the osip header

But the block location should be /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

You'll need special tools to unpack / repack but more than likely the bootloader is lock and while a properly pack .img will flash if it isn't signed with a valid key it won't load the .img

If you're new to Intel android the best advice I can give is forget everything you know about android and .img files

If you have an ota look for ifwi.zip if it has it extracted it if you see ifwi ending or contains dev eng or uos it might be an unlocked bootloader
[Dell Venue] KueDAWG:
Wow! That would be INCREDIBLE. U may be the person that creates the community for this thing. Exciting stuff. Where have u been reading up on how to port cwm, if i may ask?

Secure boot is enabled and the bios setup is (most likely) there but I can't get it to enter the setup as it won't detect a keyboard (no usb-to-go?). If the Microsoft secureboot keys are installed then it ought to possible to boot from the sdcard by adding a uefi boot entry with the fedora shim.

Anyway a simple script will clear all the confusion up, you can simply just type the fastboot commands in via hand without the need of a script, also.

I did not find courage to do the "bootlogo test" I did with Venue 7 (I don't have some low-level firmware parts for full flash if something goes wrong), but the images are signed, so I suppose it is locked. But I would not be surprised if they used default Intel keys for signing the images.
