I take it you are unable to root device with build number 10? My understanding is that builds 8 and up are unable to root as Sony blocked Djrbliss root method. I know Nesquick95 emailed asking for assistance in rooting unrootable builds. As of now there is not a way to downgrade your build. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Right, it seems to be actually no way for rooting the #10 kernel. This is a hard thing to do, even harder for our well-protected tablet.
I don't expect that much of my mail to M. Rosenberg. He's a busy man and has no obvious reason for spending time on that rooting work except (maybe) the challenging one.
We will probably have to wait until ICS arrives on the Tablet S... There will be much more users and devs involved in ICS rooting process than in tablet-specific Honeycomb.

thank u guys

I am also interested in it
I bought a tablet from china..It doesn't have even Android market..Now i am using 3 party downloaders..But my version is 10. So I cannot root also...

yeah i didnt do all my research before the rooting and i kept wondering why the exploit wouldnt work. finally looked alittle more into it and realized i have build 9 -facepalm-
So i just bought my tablet yesterday and i didnt update it. well i updated everything just now and now i have build 10! i remember reading on the djrbliss forum about build 10 downgrading somehow so ill look into it alittle more and keep you guys posted.

omg mine downgraded also! i installed my final update and i checked the kernal....it went back to build 5 #1 so here goes nothing!

well..you're the third that had this...maybe sony rolled out a background downgrade for some unknown reason??? but why...

When can we get the root kernel for fw2.3.20?

Having updated to lasted firmware,my A43 can't boot by old-kernel-rooted SDE system.I'm eagerly look forward to get an new rooted kernel,because many apps need root permitting.
oh no, come on...
1) use search before you post
2) be patient: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12861501#post12861501
1st post, 1st error.
Remember me when was released the last firmware? Yeste.... yes you got it!
Be patient, everybody her has a real life and other things to do that delivering a rooted kernel only few hours after it have been released.
Also note that it is never a good idea to jump on a new firmware without waiting few days before to see if there is not a big problem on it (like the "ho no! I can't return to a precedent version and all is so slow now!")
In fact,when I saw the version number2.3.20,I thought that's an Android 2.3 firmware,so I updated it without hesitation......
I understand. But unfortunately firmware revion numbers are not relevant of the android version inside it.

Yep, I had a brief hope but then remembered the "odd" Archos fw numbering scheme. Also thought that it might be a build date, but then remembered prior versions not matching that idea.
Big number jump for such a seeming minorish update though, given what prior releases were.

Hi, if you searched for it on Google and XDA (as I just did to check), it likely has not been rooted yet. Sorry! The best thing you could do is to google search and search XDA every week or so, maybe something will turn up soon!
I might get one of these, as they're $100 on Target's website for Cyber Monday.
Not enough people have them for someone to invest the time into rooting, but a common root method might work...

Got mines at walmart for $79. I have the same kernel as him except my firmware version is 4.0.3.
Still can't find anything on this damn tablet. Almost wish I didn't buy it heheh.
Supposedly root is available on M-270 but I still can't install Superuser. su is present in xbin too. I tried to use superoneclick and it said it was rooted then I tried to continue with root anyway and it froze. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution yet?

I successfully rooted my Maylong M270 by using the software in the linked thread. I was able to install Google Play, and from there I updated SuperUser and BusyBox. Titanium Backup works properly. Without a custom kernel, overclocking is impossible for the moment, and I'm not too sure on how a kernel (or custom recovery and ROM for that matter) can be ported, but the root is here and working.

I call bogus on this post. I tried both means to root the Maylong M270 using this method and it does not work. Instead of just posting "I DID IT", why not help out the users and post HOW you did it... simply following the links and downloads on the post you've referenced doesn't do it.

I know it's been way long since the OP, but a tool called "ICS root" (can be found on SourceForge) will unlock this tablet. The device is a bit temperamental so once you run the .bat in terminal, you will have to manually restart and log back into the tablet before continuing each prompt at the terminal. Eventually after 2 -3 prompts, the .bat will be finished and the tablet will "update Android", a sign that you have successfully rooted.
Good luck all.

However, I'm not allowed to post links, since I have not posted before. So I'm going to post this info in a series of posts, hoping that by the end, links will be allowed.
To find more info on your tablet there is an app in the Play store called CPU Identifier that will tell you what type of board you have in the tablet. Search for that board name on XDA to find rooting advice.

Custom ROM and ROOT for Maylong M-270
But the short story is, there is a way to root this tablet, but even better there is a custom ROM available. HardcoreHacker over at "techknow dot me" has been working hard on this. The key to figuring this out was realizing the WM8950 SOC chip set used in this tablet is the same as the WM8850. They are interchangeable. The rom is called Uberoid and is Jellybean 4.1.1, and it works great. My tablet runs very well now, and doesn't lock up all the time like it used to. I also have a link where you can download the original firmware from Maylong. So I'm trying to get some posts here so I can do a proper link, however here are some ugly links to try.
Original Firmware:
maylonggroup dot com forward slash Tablet_downloads.htm
and Uberoid Link
3w's "dot" techknow "dot" me "forward slash" forum "forward slash" index.php?topic=5356.0
Again, I apologize for the very cryptic links - I will work on getting them posted properly. I have two of these tablets and both are running Uberoid. I'm very satisfied with it. The only issue I have (on both tablets) is the battery monitoring is very poor. But this is in the kernel I think because it is the same as it was before the custom ROM.
NOTE! - as you will see on the Maylong Site, there are two different models of this tablet - You can tell which you have based on your serial number, but I think this is a pretty important distinction. If you have the same model as I do, you are going to need JingHan_MID7_V715_8228_FT5206.fwc from the Uberoid List. My model's serial number is M2701204 which is in the same group as M2701202, M2701203, and M2701205)

First update to latest software. If there are still continuous restarts, then I woultd teke the phone to htc service.
after you fix your phone, you can start rooting your phone. there is no one click root method for desire x.
I used this guide for my first root
Before you update have a look at any apps you've installed lately because that could be causing it or any files you've changed on your phone, if you have then consider restoring the original file or returning to factory, i had a similar issue when i used a rooting method from Youtube which turned out to be for a much older device.

[CLOSED] Old E3 topic

Hi,
After asking root for this device dev's started replying and using this topic as dev topic! In the FP comming up important links and guides for this device!
regards, Dennis
We need E3 developers to worship
Same here, as the Acer Liquid E3 (Duo)(E380) will be rolled out the next months, and will be a nice competitor for the Moto G etc!
Some people, like the topic starter and me, will receive it in 2 weeks I guess.
Would be great if we can root it, and of course custom ROMs will be GREATLY appreciated!
It will come with 4.2.2 but an update to 4.4 will be available in the next months. Source code will be available on the Acer site, shortly after release!
(This dual SIM phone is running on a Mediatek MT6589 (Quad core 1.2GHz Cortex A7) and PowerVR SGX544)
I'm also interested in rooting the E3 ! I will receive it from Amazon in the following days.
Have you received it yet ?
Do you now the ETA for the 4.4 rom from Acer ?

Acer officialy stated that "the update for the E3 from 4.2.2 to 4.4 will be available later this year". A lot of other sites tell us 'in the near future' or even 'Q2 2014' and a lot of 'definitely before the end of this year'.
Good news though! The official support page for the Acer Liquid E3 (E380) is online NOW (look for Model/Type E380! Be ware that different countries/regions HAVE different/more files!
You can find the current E380 (Jelly Bean) Kernel Sources v20140307 there!!! :good::good::good:
Second file is the USB Driver v1.0 :good:
Last files are the different (Dual/Single, EUR-band/US-band) manuals, only to find on the American site of Acer!
The manual states there is/will be a 1GB and 2GB RAM, and a 4GB and 16GB ROM version!? Also a version with NFC. All depends on the SKU.

Found it! Standard method, recently (march 2014) updated, and seems to work on all phones with the MediaTek MT6589 chipset!
The Acer Liquid E2 (same chipset) was also succesful! It is very simple, and similar to the method I posted before (for Acer Liquid Gallant):

So you tried these three sploits for the E2 / MT6589?
What was the feedback with Framaroot (see Usage part in that post)?
And which version of the APK you used? 1.9.1?
Tried the Boromir option, this seems to be the one for the E2?
And tried the universal MT6589_Rooter / mt6589_rooting_pkg method (which seems to be succesful almost on all MT6589 phones), as mentioned on i.e. Gleescape (updated march 2014)?
And used PDAnet or universal MT USB drivers, or even better (I think) the brand new official USB drivers from Acer? And SURE your phone was in USB Debugging mode while rooting (via Developer Options)???
Last thing is that I see some people using SP Flash Tool to flash/root MT6589 phones...

Should I try Kingo ? I have mixed (not to say suspicious) feelings about this program...
Thanks man, you're the best, but this is BAD news! :crying:
Can you post all info of your device (Duo or Single (SIM) / SKU, and all OS-info (Settings > About Phone, like build, model, android, kernel, band/radio etc))?
Maybe make a signature of it (like me), thats always helpful.
Where did you get yours by the way? (I will receive a E380 Duo, bought at iBood in the Netherlands (EUR version, 1GB/4GB, no NFC)).

No clue about those kind of apps. It looks like for instance OneClickRoot. All downloadable at CNet and look commercial but seem free
You can try it, but it may contain adware, or you may have to pay or so Mixed feelings here too, and a lot of suspicion on the net (sending IMEI, trojans etc).
After reading a lot, I still have main hope on the MT6589_rooter = MT6589_rooting_pkg = motochopper, by @djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg) which unlocks A LOT (almost all) of MediaTek clones! Maybe look for newer/different versions of it?
Edit: I found out almost ALL sites have the initial version 1.0 online, but Dan's own server hosts version 1.1 !!! Try it please?
By the way, we are impatient, and should wait for Android 4.4 (in the next months) on our ALE3, and we need THOSE sources for an up to date root, custom ROM and CWM recovery!
Yes bad news, 4.2.2 has solved exploits I think...
I have attached the infos, it's a dual sim (DUO), 4GB/1GB, no NFC, EUR version.
ref: HM.HDZEF.001
I got mine from Amazon France.
EDIT: okay, maybe I will try Kingo in a VM or with blocking some connections...
I'm investigating other version of the MT6589 rooter
EDIT 2: failure with motochopper 1.1 too
Do you know Eroot 1.3.4 ?

Sick! Sure!? And after reboot?
I was also checking a new/universal used method for MediaTek / MT, with the mentioned SP Flash Tool / Smart Phone Flash Tool (v3.xxxx.xx)(for MT65xx) or the very similar MTK Flash Tool (v5.xxxx.xx)(for MT62xx), as can be found everywhere, but originates from: mtk2000.ucoz.ru
New version SP Flash Tool 3.1408.00 is out now!
A tutorial with pics can be found everywhere, like here on XDA!
They use a so called "scatter" file to root/download ROM/upload (custom) ROM or recovery. In this file a datamapping of your specific phone model is included. Download the file or even better, make your own specific one, with for instance a tool called MTK Droid Root & Tools (version 2.5.3 now).
Now rooting is 'done' (prefer a more open method, done by 'ourselves'!), we should have developers, like SC0RPION who did the custom ROMs for the E2, to do/mod a new 4.2.2 and 4.4 ROM for our E3! Source of 4.2.2 is available (link in sig) and 4.4 will be soon! And CWM Recovery for our E3 would be great too! If I'm correct we (you) can do that already, by extracting the stock recovery.img (with MTK Droid or Mobile Uncle etc) and uploading it to the CWM Builder Site and than flashing our new custom made CWM to the phone (like here, here, here and here)?
Camera problem
Wow, I was in the middle of writing a very lenghty post on how my backwards facing camera was not working on this phone (specifically, focus did not work), and the many solutions I had already tried to fix it with. Somehow I got it to work while writing the post.
The solution:
Drag the "Camera" app to the homescreen, into "App info". This will for some reason bring you to the "Gallery" app information. Press force stop, Clear data.
Now what actually fixed the camera was pressing "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".
I hope this can help people who are experiencing this problem!
p.s. I got it from IBOOD, Netherlands, 4 Gb sd, 1 Gb ram

Thanks for the reply, do you know if there is a guide on how to do an update for this device? Sorry when it comes to these types of problems, i'm not always sure what steps to follow
the thing is its a mtk device so you gonna need 3 tools apps for pc and files
firstly you gonna need the the lollipop file to flash,where to get that i have no clue( i think its packed differently than my samsung cm12 files i work with.then you gonna need the flashing software for mtk devices and your gonna need bootloader unlocked and some drivers for your OS.I fixed a mtk device a few months back and i do have all the files names somewhere.
1-mediatek vcom drivers
2-scatter file(device specific)
3-lollipop img file
4-mtk droid tools
guides are on this site and google,thats how i fixed a bricked pixie2 phone
