So I bought a television thinking it was a Samsung Smart TV, but it turned out to be an MStar Android TV. Long story short, I am stuck with this television. I feel like if I was able to root it I could do more with it; like access USB drive remotely and delete/move files via wireless, remove pre-installed apps, so on and forth.
But I don't have any idea what to do to root it. Which rooting method will work and I can't find help regarding this television. Would someone mind taking a look at this hardware info and direct to me a direction?

If TV hangs, just power off and wait for a couple of seconds. Restart TV and wait for Kingroot to do it's thing. It will install KingUser. And ROOT!

UPDATE FROM MY SIDE:
I foolishly uninstalled apps without a backup. Broke Google Apps and Play Services some how.
Then for some reason I thought installing BusyBox was a good idea. -_-
After BusyBox my wifi has stopped working.
Tried factory reset but that just erases the apps and settings. Wifi still not working.
So kinda stuck with getting it online via LAN.
How is your experience?
I too have mstar tv from vise vijya sales. I have rooted it is there way to use custom recovery on mstar smart tv

I have also successfully rooted my Mstar Android TV by seeing this thread. And removed unwanted apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype, Twitter etc.
Please help how to boot into recovery mode manually in this Mstar Android TV.
And we can be in safe zone if we have custom recovery in it. Think on it guys

Hi people!
i'm new here.
I have this Panasonic Eluga dL1(EB-3901) android phone. It's version 2.3.5
when I plug the USB into the computer, it does not install any drivers (i'm unsure if it had any in the first place), i googled for the drivers but had not luck there.
thus when i type adb devices i do not see the phone listed. I need logcat to help me debug an application.
side note: I did transfer my developing app to the phone via sdcard but the app crashed. I am not sure if it could be due to my manifest's file minSdkVersion as 10 is already 2.3.3 and 11 is 3.0 and there is no 2.3.5.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you people!
Regards,
Paul
What Windows version do you use? (Assuming you use windows ). Should be installed automatically in Windows 7.
http://mustikamax.com/2012/05/02/how-to-syncsuite-panasonic-eluga-for-pc-windows/
Small question for you: I saw a review of this device, and the camera and gallery app looked awesome. Any chance you could share them?
[Use a file explorer on you phone, go to ROOT\system\apps and copy the camera and gallery app to your user memory and then transfer to pc.] No root needed (read only)
Thanks in advance if this is possible.
yup i am using windows.
Will try you suggestion in a moment.
Btw there is no camera app in /system/apps but there is this app called "Gallery3D". Do you want it? i can't really host it at work. perhaps i can email the app to you?
Regards,
Paul
oh. the suggestion doesn't work. its not exactly what i wanted.
I am looking for the device drivers for Eluga, apparently Windows (am using windows 7 Pro) does not install the drivers automatically and there is no installation along with the phone.
The steps suggested had this area where they needed me to have adb. Which is exactly what I am looking for from the start. I am unable to locate my device when i type "adb devices" and would like to know if anyone has a clue to get it done (i once added some codes into google/usb_driver for my kindle fire to be recognised).
Do let me know if anyone know how to make the Panasonic Eluga recognised by adb.
Thank you people!!!
Regards,
Paul
I'm not a big adb user, so I don't think I can help you with that. Are there any other apps with a camera icon or gallery icon in that folder? I don't need them right now, so take your time.

hello,
i would like to buy the device,
can you check if the device does support wifi display (miracast),
e.g if it can mirror its screen wirelessly to the tv (like as it was connected via hdmi cable)
i have an LG smart tv that is miracast certified, so i wonder if it can work with the mediapad x1
i know that on the mediapad there is the multi screen option, but i dont know if it is like wireless display (miracast)
let me know!
thank you!

so to enable miracast on X1 is needed to download such app?
but your ipush dongle is not an android stick?
i know that some ipush dongles does support miracast...
let me know!
thanks a lot!

Best thing that worked for me was I rooted with vroot then installed supersu and busy box after that just used rootexplorer and after rebooting it still retains permissions. No need for terminal.

Hello
Instead of "RootGenius" you can simply use "Kingo Android ROOT" software for rooting 4.2.2 Jellybean ROM And "Vroot" for Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM.
It works on MediaPad X1.
By the way you can unroot it using Kingo android ROOT software.

I have the same problem and found partial workaround (root required).
Saved Wifi networks and their passwords are stored as plain text in file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
When I opened this file for the first time, I have noticed much duplicates of string "ctrl_interface=wlan0" with no line breaks.
I tried to delete duplicates and add information about wifi networks (I got the format from my other android device).
Reboot. And it works! Stored using this way networks not cleared after reboot.
Here is an example for secured WPA2 secured network:
network={
ssid="enter_wifi_name_here"
psk="enter_password_here_or_remove_keyvalue_for_nonsecured_network"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=1
}
Not easy way, but better than nothing.
cant find it the right one and cant edit the file, Need more help

I installed an Android x86 TV from geektillithertz.com. I want to know what can I do with Gapps?
Same question here.
Thanks.
no Gapps
I also installed Nic's android TV x86 6.0.1 on my Intel machine that I built with only Intel HD graphics. The unit was working well with Remix OS and I had sound with external speakers, bluetooth/WIFI worked flawlessly. I decided to give the full Android TV image a try, but without Gapps this it is incomplete. The other issue is playback error with Android TV, which is now available >80 cities, I'm going to try to change to static IP and see if it fixes that issue and report back.
