rooting coolpad 9976A
Hi, can anyone help me rooting coolpad 9976A? The UI is in Chinese and does not allow me to install Google Play and therefore I cannot sync my contacts, etc...

Hi, use framaroot for root. For play store it's a bit complicate because you must install many android apk. Now i'm not at home, but i'll send you a list of file

Coolife is ok, nothing special for me. It supports multi window, but it's really poor- only a few apps like video, messages, notes, browser... and I didn't find option to add other. NFC works well.
To root I used RootGenius (chineese program, i can send link in privat message). Enable USB debugging, run program, follow instructions. Easy as that. I also menaged to install google play but after rebooting the tablet can't see those apps I paid for and I have to reinstall them.

Please do, I appreciate it you can email me at [email protected]

Hi! I would like to tell you about two chinese softwares that can Root most of the chinese device. Try VRoot which can root 90% of chinese android devices. Next one is ERoot, this software also roots alot devices. I wish your phablet gets rooted. Happy Rooting :thumbup:; )

Thank you will try. I installed all those apks from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547054
Got the Google account working with this, but the play store doesnt want to go online. Only says no connection. But I allowed all permissions with the Coolmanager.
After a reboot it also says that com.google.process.gapps and frameworks stopped.
I will try your apks now

Did you just install those? or also copyied them to system/apps ? For some reason it doesnt want to install Google Contacts Sync apk and Account and Sync Setting apk.
Also Google play just says Server error, but I have Wifi on.

You can install cwm recovery and install an update.zip which is for rooting. if you don't have a cwm you can create one with mtk droid tools this method works 100%.
Just Hit thanks if I had helped you.

Well the device is rooted. I managed to install all apks now. Google account is syncing everything, Contacts, Google photos etc.
The only thing , which isnt yet working is the Google Play store. It is installed and opens, but it says No connection as if something is blocking it from going online.
After a reboot I also get the message com.google.process.gapps has stopped message.
Already tried to reset the app preferences but that didnt help.

Yes finally got it to work

Well since you need to install USb drivers on the PC, I write a little instruction.
Drivers are easily installed. All you need is to enable USB debugging.
Settings -> About phone -> tap on the Build number several times to unlock the developer options.
The settings -> Dev options -> tick USB debugging.
Now you can connect the tablet / phablet to the PC. It auto matically install the drivers. If not there is a virtual CD rom drive under Computer -> Coolpad driver
_______
Then you can copy the root files onto your device.
Did it like here: http://bbs.coolpad.com/thread-1920081-1-1.html
Well translated with google translate:
1, the root package into the root directory of the external SD card
2, press the volume key + power button to boot into recovery mode, red exclamation robot interface appears, click the power button to the menu interface
3, click the volume down key to select "applay update from sdcard", click on the volume key to enter
4, click the volume down button to select the root package, click on the volume button to install
5, after the key is complete, click on the volume button "reboot system now" boot

Now the device is rooted.

Finally I installed the Google play services like this: http://bbs.coolpad.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1917346&fromuid=3110832
(Translated with google)
(for me that download host didnt work, but found a different one with baidu. http://dl.dbank.com/c0bjjioeqw )
Many ask about how to use oil, as follows:
1, the attachment downloaded on the phone memory root directory / storage/emulated/0 below (the root directory of phone memory, do not put any folder)
2, into the system settings - About phone - mad click the version number - the phone prompts to enter developer mode after pressing return, and click developer mode
3, into developer mode, down to finally find "GMS package preinstalled" option and click, the system prompts "GMS phone will restart makeup bag", click OK to install
4, after the installation is complete the phone will automatically restart, boot can be seen after the application installation package GMS

Well it has 8GB internal storage , not 16GB. But you can install apps on the external SD drive. I have a 60GB MicroSD in it.

Actually, it's a 64 GB mSDXC.
60 GB is the useable space.

You need to install (flash) gapps.zip from recovery mode.
copy zip file to your sd card.
from recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card
select zip file and install it. then reboot system.
when reboot, you can see play store app and can use it.

Q: Play Store not working on new tablet Teclast x80h

So, I purchased this tablet: Teclast x80h as advertised from manifacturer with dualboot Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4.4.
So far I can say Windows is working fine, haven't found a problem with it.
But When I booted the Android I face a common problem in the Google Play: No connection and the button retry.
I searched google and youtube and tried most of the things people wrote there.
1. checking the auto time/date update
2. the timezone
3. deleting all cache from the app
4. I rooted the device using: Kingroot and iRoot and tried to edit the hosts file. But in it there only was this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost - so I had nothing to change there. Tried to edit it anyway with total comander with granted root priv. - I receive "re-mount error".
5. I also tried to fix the issue with a fix from Frontier given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035/page43 , but sadly it didn't solve the issue for me.
Any other insight you can give me is welcome.
Thanks in advance to whoever comes to help.

I have the same problem and have tried all morning to fix it. I have managed to root and have tried following Frontiers instructions but just get the same problem at the end of it.
I also found it impossible to delete Play Store using settings as it is a system app, but managed it using an app called "system app remover". Then replaced it with the apk from Frontier but still no luck!

Have just found this, Maybe we have to wait for an update. But as they come in Chinese am not sure I will recognise it!!
http://bbs.teclast.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=262279&highlight=x80h+play+store
Applied fix:
with root browser:
Edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Now Google Play is crashing just before displaying the content ofthe store. Even got it working for few minutes after reinstalling Google Play app and Google Play Services, but after tying to download some app from it it started crashing again. I'm open for suggestions :>
I have those settings in as well, but Play store not working at all. I will try deleting them both and reinstalling

okay, guys, that's how I fixed it:
Fix for Google Playstore on Teclast x80h dualboot
requirements:
For Rooting the tablet:
iRoot
Kingroot
First you run Kingroot - all is in chinese, but it's pretty straight forward deal.
Then you run iRoot and finish the job.
Then you need the following apks:
superSU
root manager
uninstaller (root)
link2SD
google play latest
google play services latest
All this is available on APKmirror.
Copy them somewhere on the tablet (I used the Download folder)
step 1. Install superSU - to be able to grant root privileges to the other apps.
step 2. install root manager
step 3. open it and edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Then save the changes.
step 4. uninstall the Google Play app that came preinstalled with the tablet. (You can do it with any root uninstaller.)
step 5. install the Google Play apk
step 6. install the Google Play services apk and reboot
step 7. install Link2SD apk and run it. Find the google play app in the list press it and when it opens choose "action" and then make it a system app.
step 8. Reboot the tablet.
Enter the credentials in for your google account and then download any app you want :>
Hope that will help someone. Took me lots of time to figure it out.
Took info from several sources here on XDA and from youtube.
All credit goes to them.
I had done all of the above yesterday and still it didnt work. But today I got a Google Play Services update via Mobo Market and Play Store worked after that!
Got the same tablet and of course play store didn't work. Expected this would require extensive hacks, but apparently there is an update as soon as you connect to internet. Just click update app on the bottom left and then you'll see two buttons (all on Chinese), click the left one and it will download the update for you.

yea, when I received it, that update was downloading a broken zip file and it was giving error. That's why I had to do all that to fix it. Now I'm happy with the tablet.

I think I might be getting a broken Zip as well. Do you by any chance have the .zip for the update?

Final tweaks: Google Play Music, and English UI

[SOLVED! Please jump to my last response in this thread]
Hi All,
So I just picked up the Honor X1 (a.k.a Mediapad X1) (Chinese version) of this awesome device. I love everything so far, with a few exceptions.
DISCLAIMER: I looked ALL over the web, including but not limited to XDA and google, but didn't see anything relevant and/or that worked.
So here goes. Hopefully someone has more of a clue than I do of how to get things working
1.) Google Play music doesn't work. When I try adding an account, I immediately get the "Couldn't sign in - There was a problem communicating with Google server. Try again later". Message. Note that it doesn't actually attempt anything. It goes immediately to to this message. Yes I have an active data connection (wifi and 3G are both working), Yes I installed google play services (march 16th 2015 build), and google play music (march 16th 2015 build), and went through the "App center" and tried to install everything (except google plus. See item #2 below)
2.) Google + fails to install with a "silent install failed". I also tried downloading the APK and it just says it fails to install. I do not care at all for google + but I want multiple google accounts which is why I am trying this.
3.) Multiple google accounts? especially for hangouts, email, and google play music?
4.) The UI is all in Chinese. I know this is to be expected, but I was hoping there would be some way to force it into all-english. (Please note: I am NOT rooted).
5.) Any way to install GasBuddy? THANX!
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU

So here goes. Hopefully someone has more of a clue than I do of how to get things working
1.) Google Play music doesn't work. When I try adding an account, I immediately get the "Couldn't sign in - There was a problem communicating with Google server. Try again later". Message. Note that it doesn't actually attempt anything. It goes immediately to to this message. Yes I have an active data connection (wifi and 3G are both working), Yes I installed google play services (march 16th 2015 build), and google play music (march 16th 2015 build), and went through the "App center" and tried to install everything (except google plus. See item #2 below)
2.) Google + fails to install with a "silent install failed". I also tried downloading the APK and it just says it fails to install. I do not care at all for google + but I want multiple google accounts which is why I am trying this.
3.) Multiple google accounts? especially for hangouts, email, and google play music?
4.) The UI is all in Chinese. I know this is to be expected, but I was hoping there would be some way to force it into all-english. (Please note: I am NOT rooted).
5.) Any way to install GasBuddy? THANX!
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU

Salam ya Basha! Shukran for the response.
I actually did try rooting, but everywhere I looked the information says use RootGenuis which fails at the last step (one tough phone), and if i click the "root manually" button it takes me to a dead link to a page in Chinese.
Any idea how I can succesfully root this to start with?
Also, did you by any chance figure out how to change the UI into something more usable (Arabic is an option but I prefer English)

Thanx! Rooting worked via VROOT, although my laptop is now loaded with spyware / malware I can't seem to get rid of.
I installed Google plus (via sideloading the APK. It didnt show up in the play store), which gave me multiple accounts (by following the link you provided).
I also got Google play music to work. After installing G+, I had to remove the google account and re-add it, and voila google play music works.
For the benefit of others:
1. Root (via Vroot/iRoot but watch out where you download it from)
2. Follow the guide to install the google maps via a root-enabled file explorer (I used root explorer)
3. Reboot
4. Remove all google accounts and re-add them
5. Launch google music and set up normally
I will mark this as solved. THANX
Thanx!

Google Play not working, immediately force closes when trying to launch...

I just received my Huawei Honor 8x Max. It came from China as it's the newer version having 6gb ram & Snapdragon 660...
The operating system seems unstable and despite Google Store being installed it does not work.
When attempting to open it, immediately closes to home screen. Several more attempts & then it says crashed and prompts me to delete it...
Tried clearing data/cache, still not working.
Uninstalled Google Play store still no difference.
Any ideas??
I got it. Fully works and integrated into the phone. Just using the phone itself. Emaïl me @ [email protected] for info

To install Google play on this phone. You need to download gsminstaller.apk. But the phone block you from installing it. First enable developer option. Go to enable usb debugging. Disable monitor apps install by adb.
apkinstaller .c om
Install and run this. Connect your computer to your phone. Install gsminstaller.apk using apkinstaller. After that install Google installer 2.o apk on your phone. Run it.. u should have Google play installed.
All the file can by downloaded by googling it. Sorry it take too long to go step by step detail.

I used adb to try and install gsminstaller.apk from the pc and the phone shows me the same screen blocking the install, saying I should open appgallery to download a safe/compatible version of this app. but this app was removed from the appgallery by huawei...
THE SOLUTION: Go to developer options in the phone and enable app installs without asking for permission.
This will wipe all google apps, but its the only solution that works.
Remember to re-install the old 4.4.4 google contacts sync because I think that gets wiped too.
I hate updates i knew it would ruin my brand new phone... **** you honor, stop ruining our phones. First you make people pay for root, now thins.
Im not updating again.
Did it work? Just wondering. Got Google on Honor 8x. Orderd from China. Working fully.
Sent from my Alcatel 5054O using XDA Labs
Any solution for getting G services and apps to work after EMUI 9 update? I can install all services with GMSanzhuangji.apk and Gmsinstaller 3, but still no luck on running them... Play Store keeps force closing and cannot add a google account for the contacts and all other sync services

Help needed in unlocking ACT Stream 4K TV Box

Recently i got a 4K Android Stream box for my network plan from my ISP - ACT Fibernet in india
I have disconnected the connection due to relocation and have no ACT in the new place
The issue is the Android Box only runs in the ACT network and doesnt work in other network
Is there a way to make the android box work in other networks?
Or flash a Android TV os and make it standalone ?
As the new box has good specs and supports Steam Link and other features
New to this android TV experience. Any help would do.. :fingers-crossed:
Tech Specs
Operating System : Android 9
Main Chipset : Hi Silicon 3798M V200
RAM : 2GB
Flash : 8GB
DRM : Widevine & Playready
WiFi : Dual band (2.4G & 5G) & 802.11 ac
Ports Available : 2 USB ports, 1 Ethernal port, 1 HDMI port, 1 AV output, 1 SD crad slot
Me too looking for the same info.
Hey me to..
when they have network issue.. this is useless.
need same info
I need the same info too.. is there a way to root or install custom rom like how you do traditional android tv boxes?
I have not found the way to unlock it, but there is a work around to use it without ACT network.
----------------------
Install below two apps by sideloading the apk files.
1. Sideload Launcher
2. Launch on Boot
Open Launch on boot and mark 'Sideload launcher' as the app to boot.
---------------------
if you press accidentally home button while NOT using ACT network,
you can then also use 'Google play store' button in the remote to select the app 'Launch on boot' and open 'sideload Launcher' app.
Thanks
SK
Thank you for the sideload launcher idea and it works as expected.
I wish we have an option to install a custom launcher on this as its the Act Launcher that is causing problem when its not connected to an Act Network.
I am looking for the same - unlock the Android TV from ACT

Were you able to use the ACT TV outside of ACT network? Please let me know. Thanks
Yes I am able to use it as per above launch on boot and sideload launcher method.
How were you able to access the settings or play store when on the non-ACT network page? My device will not let me access them other than the network selection.
I'm able to access play store and other apps right from the day I bought it. On the top banner you have different pages the 2nd one is apps. Select that and scroll down, then you can see play store and other apps you have installed. Only the TV section won't work if the device is not connected to act network.
Regarding Choosing "Launch On Boot" option
How do i select the "Launch On Boot" option, please help.
If you could provide the steps or screenshot, it would be really helpful.
Alternate launchers
All my attempts at installing alternate launcher fail with
Code:
$ adb install ~/Downloads/Taskbar-5.0.1.apk
adb: failed to install /home/reshma/Downloads/Taskbar-5.0.1.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_PACKAGE_NAME: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.farmerbb.taskbar-NJD_XsOJWsvV-uhprRNnOw==: Package com.farmerbb.taskbar do not allow to install.]
Have you guys been able to find any way to install other launcher apps?
Works!
I managed to make it work with the two apps. I was looking through the Airtel internet TV forum and for that, you can enablee developer mode and use adb bridge to completely remove the associated apps to get a stock OS. However, when I try to click on build option 7 times (and more), it does not work on ACT TV. Has it been disabled on this? How can we enable developer options in this? If anyone can confirm with the same issue.

Try using developer tools app from playstore. They have disabled the 7 tap option now. Please let us know if you succeed.
Successfully worked!

Thanks for the idea. I installed the app from play store (it installs but it will not show up, you can use voice command to open or from settings). Then, it enables developer options following which I ran adblink to uninstall all apks which began with in.actcorp. One note is that the normal uninstall option in adblink will not enable you to delete all apps, it is required to use pm uninstall -k --user 0 [apk name] in the adb shell to get it done. Once done, the box works, however I'm not too sure on how to get the default android TV launcher to open up, pressing the home button on remote takes to a blank screen only. If someone can help, I'll be grateful!

Wow. This is great progress. Let me try these steps too. What I can tell you now is if you can install apks, try installing atv launcher or open play store using the voice assistant and install a launcher from there. I'll try this on my end too and see what can be done about the default launcher. Earlier, it never used to let us install any launcher apps. Sideload launcher was the only app we could install.

I was able to uninstall all the act apps. But something is blocking launcher apps from installing. Android tv home launcher is what we need to install but can't install it either from adb or from playstore. Do you have some command to force install or do you know where the blocked list is?

I faced the same issue, that's why it is hard to not reach the blank home page often. Hopefully someone has a way to install the launcher apps.

have you tried resetting your device after removing act core applications ?

Resetting restores all the apps you have uninstalled. Including the act launcher app. Another way that may work is to somehow rename the android home launcher apk to in.actcorp.actottlauncher.
And make it to install over the current app.
