Hello could anyone please help me with rooting my zoostorm sl8 mini running ICS. I just don't know which rooting program to use and with one will work. I have search the web now for days and cant find anything.
Please Help!
Thanks:good:
Use the Qemu exploit
This can device can be rooted using DoomLords Xperia script. I have ported the script to linux as well for Ubuntu users,
The original script is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
I haven't tested the Windows script, but I assume it will work as I haven't changed anything, the Linux script has been fully tested and I have successfully rooted the sl8 mini using it.
For Windows see below:
1) Download the attached zip file and Super1Click zip file ( http://download.cnet.com/SuperOneClick/3000-2094_4-75447027.html ).
2) Unzip the zip files into a new folders (you can use 7-zip for this : http://www.7-zip.org/)
3) Power on the Zoostorm Sl8 Mini and boot it normally.
4) Go into settings, developer options and tick USB debugging
5) Go to settings, security and tick Allow installtion of non-Market Apps
6) Connect the table to the PC with a USB cable.
7) When the new Hardware Found Wizard find the Android device and can't find a driver, select install from speficic location and browse to drivers folder under the folder you just unzipped the Super1click file to.
8) The driver should install from here and will show as an Acer Android device.
9) If Windows complains about the driver not being signed tell it to continue anyway.
10) Reboot the Windows PC if requested by the Hardware installation Wizard.
11) Discconect and replug the USB cable.
12) Open a windows command prompt
13) Navigate to the folder where the unzipped rootsl8mini.zip files are.
14) type runme.bat
15) Read the blurb on the screen and press any key to root your tablet.
16) The Sl8 mini will reboot several times, after it has reboot for the last time your sl8 mini will now be rooted.
For Linux (Ubuntu Precise Pangolin)
1) Install Android SDK, make sure the folder where adb is located is in your shell path variable. See link for Ubuntu instructions (http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/07...-androidsdk-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/)
2) Download the attached rootsl8mini.zip file and unzip it into a folder.
3) Go into the folder where you unzipped the file and make the runme.bat.sh file executable. (Myhost:$ chmod 777 runme.bat.sh)
4) Power on the Zoostorm Sl8 Mini and boot it normally.
5) Go into settings, developer options and tick USB debugging
6) Go to settings, security and tick Allow installtion of non-Market Apps
7) Connect the tablet to the PC with the USB cable.
8) Execute the runme.bat.sh script (Myhost:$ ./runme.bat.sh)
9) Read the blurb on the screen and press any key to root your tablet.
10) The Sl8 mini will reboot several times, after it has reboot for the last time your sl8 mini will now be rooted.
Enjoy
Thank you, do I go to unzipped file using command prompt?
Thanks
I have tried to root the tablet and it wont install the drivers, it keeps saying that the file is corrupted or missing.
I'am running windows 8 64.
any suggestion's why it is doing this?
Many thanks :good:
I`m a noob to the Zoostorm. Are there any JB / CM10 ports for it?
Are they known as another name elsewhere in this forum?
Can anyone shed any light on this? Fantastic write-up by mikel by the way. Will test as soon as the mother-in-law gets hers for xmas from us!
Superb MIKEL543 i have done it, thank you so much, it took me a bit to figure it out but i managed to do it YAY..lol.
Now the problem is i cant watch and films from google play or flixster as it say that it cant because my Tablet is rooted .
i have tried everything and cant get it to work! :good:
easy way to root : http://zoostormsl8.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/root-zoostorm-sl8-mini-3310-9506.html
download and update the zip
Bought this tablet as a gift for my father and assumed that connecting it to a usb keyboard would be straightforward (yeap android noob ) . My question is , is that even possible? Is there a custom rom that can be installed, I presume after rooting the device that enables usb host mode?

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
ToolKit v1.4.1 (05th Oct 2015)
+Added new upcoming devices to device selection screen
+Main files now signed with Digital Certificate to ensure files are original and safe
+Added file checker after device selection to check needed files are up to date
+Updated UniversalAdbInstaller for Windows 10 compatability
+Added driver installation option at startup for new installs
+Updated ToolKitClean.exe to allow users to update the main ToolKit.exe file to latest available version without having to download/install the whole ToolKit again (like when a new device is added or files/drivers updated)
+Improvements and minor bug fixes
+Installer now give option for Fresh Install (removes any existing device files) or Upgrade (to just update base files)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Google Nexus 4 Frequently Asked Questions
UPDATES:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is ADB Shell?
Adb shell is a linux command line tool (because android is based on linux) used to send commands to your android device. For S-ON devices, this is crucial for modifying files in the /system partition (where the rom sits) as you cannot modify anything in /system when the rom is running without S-OFF (e.g removing system apps).
From Google:
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device. It is a client-server program that includes three components:
A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.
A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. The server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device.
A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is FASTBOOT?
Fastboot is 2 things. It is a mode on the phone, which looks a little like Bootloader. You can access it by holding 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' whilst turning on the phone.
It is also a way of flashing radios, recovery, boot images and system images in a command line method from a PC much like adb.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
OR you can use the ToolKit to rename the files (root access needed).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I want to send my phone back so I need to flash a stock rom and relock the bootloader
1. Download, install and run the Google Nexus 4 Toolkit.
2. Install adb/fastboot drivers (if you havent already done so)
3. Option 9 to download a Google Factory Image.
4. After it finishes downloading you will be given the option to flash the image to your tablet. Do this.
4. Let the phone reboot, then shut the device down and reenter fastboot mode (or boot to fastboot mode via the Reboot Screen in the ToolKit).
5. Option3, 2 to relock the bootloader.
Your internal storage will be formatted and data and cache wiped. Your tablet will now be back to an out-of-the-box FULLY STOCK state and ready to send back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is the difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup?
A NANDROID will backup the whole system including boot, system, data and recovery partitions so you can restore a complete rom and all data and settings.
Essentially Titanium Backup is used to backup apps and associated user data. These could be restored AFTER a full wipe and a new Rom had been flashed on your phone.
The other option now which google added into the new adb command list is the adb backup which is in the ToolKit and can do the same job as Titanium Backup but will store the data on your PC rather than on the phone (where it takes up space and could be deleted).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When I try to open the ToolKit I get a box pop up for a split second and then it goes away. My AntiVirus program says the file may be harmful.
The exe files I compiled are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton) will pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that doesnt contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Restore the deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. The ToolKit recognises my tablet in adb mode but not in fastboot mode (or other way round).
Open the Device Manager on your pc and then boot your tablet into fastboot mode or adb mode (dont plug the usb cable in yet). Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your tablet in settings, developer options. Plug the cable in while watching the Device Manager and determine which item is added to the list with the device plugged in. Once you have found it right click on the item and select update driver. Select 'browse my computer' from the list and then browse to the 'drivers' folder in the ToolKit folder (wherever you installed the ToolKit to). Make sure sub folders is ticked and click next. Hopefully the driver will be picked up and installed.
You can check if a driver has been installed by looking at the top of the Main Menu in the ToolKit while in fastboot mode and adb modes. If a serial number is displayed in each mode then it will work fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Can I back up my apps before unlocking the Bootloader so I don't lose everything?
Performing an APPS BACKUP (option2, 1) will backup all apps that were installed after you first used your device. This will include any associated user data (such as settings or high scores for games) and apps you installed from Google Play Store. Just follow the recommended options and remember to turn your phones screen on before starting it as you need to confirm on your screen.
This option will NOT require your bootloader to be unlocked first.
You can also backup your Internal Storage without unlocking using option 2, 3 from the main menu. This will backup anything you store on your Internal Storage such as game data, music, videos. This is just pulled from your /data/media folder so you can view or edit the files on your pc after they have been pulled.
You can then unlock the bootloader (wiping your device) and retore the apps (option 2, 10) and Internal Storage data (option 2, 11) after doing whatever you want to with your device.
The only thing you cannot do with the ToolKit is to save the system settings but some of those are backed up by google if you chose that option when turning your device on the first time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I have Windows 8 and cannot install the drivers
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
When your computer restarts, select ‘Disable driver signature enforcement‘ from the list. You can now load your modified driver. Reboot again once the driver is installed and all will be well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I cannot find Developer options to Enable USB Debugging
With Android 4.2 google have thought it would be funny to hide the Developer options screen in the Settings. This means you cannot enable usb debugging to communicate with your device. To show the Developers options screen do the following:
Goto Settings, About tablet and tap your finger on the the 'Build number' text at the bottom 7 times (not too fast).
When you have tapped 3 times you will be given a countdown of taps until you become a 'developer'.
Once you are told you are now a developer you can go back to the Settings screen and can see Developer options.
You can now go into Developer options and enable usb debugging.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I tried to enter the code for the professional version but the Toolkit says the code is incorrect
Make sure the code entered is for the correct Toolkit being used.
You need to make sure you start the Toolkit with the toolkit.exe file when activating and not the tkmain.exe file so the settings can be initialised or the code will not be accepted.
Also make sure you enter the code correctly as the characters are case sensitive.

No possibility of bricks as images are booted and not flashed so nothing is written permanently.

Yes im afraid its only for Windows but if you have already setup adb/fastboot from a previous phone you may be able to run it under an emulator such as WineHQ.

I have used your toolkit with my galaxy nexus, but, sadly, I have not the nexus 4 yet. If I get it soon you will know, but maybe you will have enough testers

And find it there...
Firstly, Get a rooted custom/stock ROM and save it in your device's sd card,
Then goto ClockWorks Recovery ( First power off your device, then hold volume up and power key untill superfone logo displays to get into recovery menu), (scroll up and down for three times to enable the power button with vol. up and down key)open 'mounts and storage' menu
Then choose 'format/system' . After the completion Goto main menu and choose 'install zip from sd card' -> choose zip -> And install it.
And after completion, Reeboot. DONE, your got a rooted device...!
Warning: You are using this software at your own risk. You may be violating your warranty.
I've tested the root routine at my new DG110 and it works fine.
After rooting device pls. start the superuser.apk and enter "yes" to update the .apk
How to root :
Make sure USB debugging is enabled. Go to settings > developer options > enable USB debugging
Install the drivers for your phone
Extract the AUTO ROOT folder from the .rar download
Connect your phone to PC using a USB cable
Run run.bat from the extracted MTK6589 Auto Root folder
Press any key and wait while it roots your phone
After finished, now reboot
Enjoy your rooted phone and verify your root access with root checker !

That's true for root?
And for flashing without losing the IMEI? Do I do?
In addition, I must first make the first root or flashing?
didn't work for my dg110, kingoroot.apk worked ok.
anyone know which devices are similar for porting ?
Steps:
1. Download Mtk droid Tools, SP Flash Tools, drivers for your phone, (no need, just connect your e311 to pc and choose connect as buil in cd rom and install drivers).
2. People having windows 8/8.1/7 first of all disable driver signature verification(google it, pretty easy)
e.g. on windows 8/8.1 go to bottom right corner,choose setting on charm bar,select change pc settings, update and recovery,go to recovery,advance start up,restart, advance startup/troubleshooting, disable driver signature verification by pressing 7 on keyboard(you need physical keyboard, touch keyboard won't be there).
3. READBACK ROM BACKUP
i. open/run as administrator MTK droid Tools, your phone should be switched on, connect it,accept usb connection on phone, let the droid tools detect it and show its specifications.(make sure usb debugging is enabled)
ii. click on blocks map, a window tile of block info will pop up. Note down or better save it using notepad++/screenshot by pc or ms word file, you need values of preloader and userdata/(some other phones may show FAT,don't panic,it's just your internal sd partition) under scatter column(also note the values under size column for backing up a single item like recovery, for entire rom you only need scatter column values of preloader and userdata/FAT).
iii. alongwith block info, a tile asking to creat scatter file will pop up, create it. This will be our scatter file for SP Flash Tools.
iv. Disconnect usb, switch off phone. you may close mtk droid tools, it will be needed after next step.
4. Open/Run SP Flash Tools as administrator,
i. click scatter loading and select previously created scatter file.
ii. click on readback tab on sp flash tools..then click on add button.
iii. double click on the item (it should be checked in the selection box)and save it as ROM_0(default) or ROM_1 , it does not matter.This will be a large file approx 3.2 GB so save it to a dedicated folder on pc not usb.
iv. next readback block address tab will open, under start address value will be like 0x00000000, leave it as it is(don't change to 0x0), under length use the value under scatter column of userdata/FAT previously noted in block info..Make note that value entered should be like 0x1234567 and not like 0x0001234567. the zeros after 0x should be removed and only till first non zero value after that and middle zeros like 120458000 shoud be written as it is. The length value may be numeric for some phones but e311 will show like 0x000CDF7000, Don't worry enter it like 0xCDF7000. This is just example not actual value, i assume each phone will show different value.
v. after entering length and pressing ok, click readback and now connect switched off phone.
vi. after that click ok and wait for readback to complete. It will take about 7-11 minutes depending on your pc processor. a green check will appear on completion.
vii. close Sp flash tools, disconnect usb. switch on phone.
5. Open MTK droid tools,connect switched on phone,select the root,backup,recovery tab.
6.Click*To*process*file*ROM_*from*Flash*Tool.
7. *Select*the*ROM_1*file*you*saved*in*the*step*above*in*the*window*that*pops*up.
8.*Wait*for*MTK*Droid*tools*to*finish*copying.
9. *When*prompted*to*make*CWM*Recovery*automatically,*click*Yes*or*No*.*If*you*click*Yes,*you'll*need*to*select
the*Recovery.img*from*the*window*that*pops*up.This will make cwm recovery, take backup of stock recovery.
10. Your Rom backup will be in MTK DROID TOOLS/backup folder. You can now flash cwm created in backup with Sp Flash Tools and also root your phone by flashing supersu.

Installing Drivers for Micromax Cannvas Nitro 2 E311:
(A) Enable usb debugging on E311:
1. Go to settings, about phone, tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options.
2. Select developer option, check box for usb debugging, thats it.
3. Also allow installation of apps from unknown sources under Personal/security in settings menu...useful for installation of apps that are not from play store.
(B) Install Drivers:
1. Connect Switched on or even switched off phone with pc via usb cable. It will automatically install driver.
If step 1 does not work for you then
2. Connect your phone via usb, it will be connected as MTP Device. Change it to connect as Built in CD Rom. It will show as cd drive/micromax e311.
3. Open it, there will be drivers folder alongwith usb guide(useless).
4. Inside drivers folder, there is drivers auto installer,within that folder you will find drivers with installation instruction on excel sheet.
It should work but even if it does not then search google for auto drivers installer for micromax devices or pda net or drivers for specific model no. like e311, a311, etc.
MTK DROID Tools Not reading phone:
1. Just check if you have usb debugging allowed or not. If not then do so as explained above.
2. When you connect switched on phone via usb to pc, MTK Droid Tools should be running as administrator(not necessary on windows Xp).
3. After running MTK Droid Tools and connecting usb, a message will pop up on phone asking to allow/accept usb debugging for droid tools, allow/accept it.... wait for few seconds and MTK droid tools will show info for E311 as connected.
In case of difficulties search mediafire.com for drivers, picture guide for readback backup,root and recovery, cwm image and MT6592_Android_scatter uploaded by me. I was trying to post them here but XDA won't allow it as it's my 2nd post only and they allow it after 10 posts only. I'm giving the file names as searching will be easier i hope
