1st time posting, long time lurking. I'm trying to find out how to root the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 CM4. Unlike the Stealth Pro 7c, it does not come rooted out of the box. I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found any information on this device. Can't find a windows driver for it, no rooting procedures, no ROMs, etc. Does anyone have any info on this tablet? What specs would I look at to see if it's a clone of another device?
please
Please ppl is there anyone out there working on the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7??? I have been lookin on the web and can't find anything out there for this tablet. I need to root, custom recovery, and custom rom. I see that there is a lot on the Trio Stealth Pro 7 but nothing on the 9.7. I tryed z4root and that did not work. So please help. Thank You.

"Hello good at all, I just rooting my new tablet, is this, bought Pandawill
Ployer MOMO Bird OEM 11 Inch Android 9.7 Tablet PC 4.0.3 IPS Screen 1GB RAM 16GB HDMI Dual Camera Silver.
The correct version of android that has come according to Information "tablet" that appears in the settings is 4.0.4 with baseband version 1.4rc3, and kernel 3.0.8 + inet_wzh @ inetsuperserver # 39 of 10 July 2012
but has a good memory rootearla wanted to spend all the possible apps to sd and delete apps Chinese (although in this case does not bring any installed, I've only found 2 apk. installed in Chinese that have not been clear when connected to pc.)
I rooteado with Unlock Root program very simple and you can easily find that much information and statutes.
The problem was that I had no drivers found the tablet, the unlock button to give the root asked me if I wanted to download the drivers but not to ask the same question again and again.
He had also tried to install from the SDK MANAGER checking the appropriate box (google usb drivers) in the extras tab of the program, but I do the installing.
At the end I was able to install the drivers from this page (in theory for Windows Vista, XP and 7, both 32 and 64 bit version. In my case I have worked for 64-bit drivers and use windows 7)
URL BLOCKED
Once downloaded, so typical in windows 7:
Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers-manage devices.
(There if you have no good drivers appear the typical yellow triangle warning that there is a problem and these drivers are missing)
the right mouse button is checked and the panel displays upgrade device is selected.
If looking online not found them, so we give manual update and select the folder where you have downloaded the drives. Eh voila the triangle disappears drivers are properly installed and in my case root unlock version 2.4.2 does its job in 30 seconds and you install the Superuser.
I hope that works for some Negao like me who is starting in the world of android phones and tablets.
Health and Luck."

I would like to know this too, I just ordered one from Newegg but I think I made a mistake, I could've bought something much better (Asus or something) from cowboom for $170.

Hi There, do you guys know the resolution of the screen for this tablet? Also how is the screen quality? Is it really IPS like with gorilla glass?
this may help yall with the rooting process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&page=116
I bricked my tablet playing around with it too much, but before I did, I happened to back up most of the NAND partitions but not all - I omitted the empty ones that were full of FF's. I think maybe I can restore it if I get the partitions right.
Would someone please do a:
cat /proc/partitions
And let me know what the output is?
So I have successfully Rooted this device but now I need a Custom Recovery and ROM. Any help would be great

Thanks for the quick response. So CM9 won't work? Like for the 7in Trio Stealth
No, not until someone makes a custom build for us. I doubt that will happen unless Trio or the actual manufacturer releases a stock ROM. Without a stock ROM, we have no emergency backup if something doesn't work.

Not exactly. I have already extracted all the partitions, dissected the bootloader, and have made a custom recovery with rooted adb and other utilities. It still uses the stock recovery app though. Not CWM.
I have a CWM recovery from another very very similar device and am close to merging the two recoveries together. I want to rebuild and flash the boot image for the device also so I can use root adb there as well.
I do a kernel for the galaxy blaze 4g, so I have a full environment set up for extracting and rebuilding.
One note, always get a good recovery with root adb before messing with the boot image. That way, you can always flash a known good one from recocery if the one you're trying fails to boot.
My current method of extraction and flashing is dd, which is not at all forgiving and has the potential to brick the device if you mistype the command.

Yep, I know all about bricking with DD! I was able to extract/backup using dd, but I was unable to use my backups because I used cat to install an incompatible recovery which resulted in a brick which would neither boot to OS nor boot to recovery. I was forced to use LiveSuit to flash another A10 ROM and then found none of my dd backups could work because a LiveSuit flash sets up the NAND partitions with sizes specific to that ROM - none of which matched the sizes of the Trio ROM so cat restore would fail.
Anyway, that will be great if you can get CWM or something working. A custom ROM would be great. Something about the stock ROM makes it unusually laggy.
also waitin for a rom-- feel like even after root it is a bit sluggish

It is really laggy. Seems like I/O to me, but I could be mistaken.
Has anyone had any luck with this? This tablet is basically worthless without a new ROM... incredibly slow. It always asks to wait / report / close every app.
I have a working rooted recovery with all the fixin's, but haven't tried throwing cwm on it yet or created a flashing script to make it foolproof yet. Honestly haven't had time. I also permanently rooted the boot image so adb runs as root. Same delivery problem.
If I had a complete hardware list down to the exact parts in it then I could build a device tree for it and get CM on it, as there are a ton of similar devices. Again, an issue of time

Hi,
Great start of new topic/model, and nice links to possible fixes.
I just received my Elephone P2000 and after a few days I am still in doubt about it.
It is a lot of phone for little money, but looking at the specs I had my expectations set a bit higher.
Okay, maybe I am a bit prejudiced as I use this phone to replace my iPhone 5s
I ran into the same issue with adding Widgets, so I am glad there is a fix. Thanks for that !
The main problem I am still facing (and on bbs.elephone.hk I read that I am not the only one) is the Wifi connection. It keeps dropping at random. This makes the phone utterly useless for me since push mail, whatsapp, newsflash, etc are simply unreliable
I think the 720p screen is not as bad as some reviewers state. Even for a big 5.5" screen it is quite okay. Still in doubt if 5.5" is the right size for me
The camera however is a real disappointment, 13MP but grainy and unfocused.
Battery runs out quite fast. Even without WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS I managed to run out within 4 hours of fiddling around.
Although memory seems plenty, I ran out of memory quite rapidly when installing software, and found that adding a microSD card and using APP2SD solved my problem.
It took me a while to figure out how to place the 2 SIM cards (1 regular and one micro) and the microSD memory card, but once I managed to fit them this really works fantastic.
I hope Elephone will come up with more software updates since this could really be a nice phone for a nice price, and 5.5" is really in the demand at the moment.
Keep up the good work with adding updates and user experiences! Thanks !
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that the phone can not be compared to a iPhone 5. But also remember the huge price difference!
You also cant compare a Porsche with an Audi, both fine cars, but they are not the same class and cost different.
Regarding the WiFi, it is strange, because I have not experienced any problems with the WiFi on mine. It always works stable. But I agree that the camera could have been much better, its not super good. Just ok for fun pictures I would say.
Battery in standby mode is good for me, several days, but when I use it, only max 1 day. But try to disable GPS and Googles location service, it uses a lot of extra battery! And if it doesn't help, turn the brightness of the screen 10% down.
excuse me guys...it's vroot secure for unlock the elephone? i read about a malware in vroot process....

Hi,
I used VRoot 1.73 from vrootdownload.org and mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot since this was supposed to be in English. The newer 1.7.8 seems to be available only in Chinese, and my Chinese is quite limited
Installation is quite easy (start the setup on your Windows machine/virtual-machine and do not choose all the extra software and browser add-ons, start the VRoot program, hook up the phone to your system, press ROOT...and wait..phone reboots and windows software states 'rooted'). After installation I found 2 Icons with chinese text on the phone, 1 containing (chinese) advertisements and links to other software from the developer mgyun, and one supposedly something to do with the rooting/super-user proces (also most text and choices in chinese). The rooting proces is quite simple...and appears successful (apps requiring root access do start).
However, chinese pop-ups keep coming up when a proces requires root/superuser access and I have no clue what choices to make.
This made me decide to 'unroot' and remove the software. The chinese advertisement link remains on the phone, but this can easily be uninstalled.

I completely agree that this phone is in another league and cannot be compared to iPhone. The price is incredible for this phone, plus the huge 5,5" inch screen (bigger screens seem to be the current 'fashion'), dual sim, and the fantastic specs made me buy it. Without looking at the specs (octacore, memory, fingerprint, ips, etc) I would have been amazed...simply because of its price and neat design.
I have seemed to narrow the WiFi problem down to problems with DHCP. When I assign a fixed address the phone disconnects (according to wifi fixer) and reconnects, but when using dhcp things appear to go wrong. At home of course I can assign a fixed address, but at work and public places this is no option. There seem to be multiple users on the elephone forum that experience similar wifi problems, so I hope there will be a fix.
Interesting to see if there will be a stable and supported version of MIUI rom for the P2000, did you try the beta ?
Thanks!

Just flash this ROM with Spflashtool from needrom http://www.needrom.com/mobile/elephone-p2000-3/
After that you will have ROOT, not with vROOT but with normal SuperSU (not in Chinese). Also this ROM fixes the widgets and gives you wake gestures, so you can for example draw a C when the screen is off and it starts the Camera, or you just double tap to wake the screen.
I did not try the MIUI beta, because some features still don't work.
tnx

That ROM is clean, it is from Elephone and also the only ROM that fixes the widgets. Framaroot cant root this phone. If you want to root your old ROM manually you can only do it with the "read back method" and MTK droidtools plus Sp flash tool.
Read back root tutorial here by ITXtutor (but it is more complicated)

so..i read this in rom description:
I do NOT recommend to flash the "Preloader" so please untick that part in SP Flash Tools before you flash!
(You can flash it anyway without the Preloader, then it will just keep your original on the phone).
ALWAYS have a working backup of your original ROM before you flash a new unknown ROM.

Just untick the Preloader in Spflash tool after you loaded the scatter file and before you then flash, so you flash everything but the Preloader. Its safer to keep the original Preloader intact on the phone.

No, there is no problem that you don't flash the Preloader. The Preloader is the same, both ROMs are 4.4.2 Kitkat, only change is that the new ROM has fixed widgets and some extra features. Even IF there should be a problem, you could always flash the preloader afterwards again. But it is recommended never to flash the Preloader, better just leave the original on the phone. But if you want you can also just try to flash it, should be okay. But its not necessary.
On older devices, flashing the Preloader could brick them (in the told days) therefore it is not recommended. And you don't need to flash the Preloader when you flash new ROM, so why run the risk?

No the ROM don't change your camera or speed. Its the same as you current ROM, just with some fixes. If your not satisfied with the ROM then just flash the old ROM back again. The stock normal ROM can also be found on needrom.com

SuperSU can give problems with this ROM and some applications that can be resolved by replacing SuperSU by Superuser from ClockworkMod.
I had problems with Titanium Backup and those were solved by the change above.
Which USB drivers P2000 and Win 8.1 64bit?
Can anyone tell me which usb drivers to use for Elephone P2000 in Win 8.1 64bit.
Droid Tools en SP Flashtool do not see my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
I used a windows 7 PC with pdanet mtk drivers and was successfull in flashing my phone!!!
Android or MIUI
Hi,
I followed your instructions and was able to flash the P2000. Thanks for the instructions and the link to the ROM
When starting I noticed that the icons look quite different from the default Android icons, they look much more like the MIUI icons. Is the ROM from your first post really a factory ROM provided by Elephone ??
The new ROM btw still has many of the original problems (WiFi and memory plus power management) but at least the widgets can be added and SuperUser works, so I am quite happy with it.
Thanks

Hi,
I did not find much informations on the i9195L (note the "L") so i am creating a new thread.
I bought and successfully flashed (using cmw as recovery) a few i9195.
Today I got this new i9195l - black editions for my sun.
It has 4 cores (arm cortex @ 1.20) and uses an adreno 306 gpu.
Looks good except I am unable to flash it:
-put it in download mode
-send the cwm 6.0.5.1
-reboot in recovery mode
-tells me "could not boot in normal mode"
-knox warranty is now void (as expected)
Tried to flash a few times, with or without reboot, with or with f reset time, nothing works
Something which seems to be new : it mentions "qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)".
Any idea?
I would really like to flash a cyanogen 12.x like I did on my other s4 mini phones...
Regards,
Erwan
Bump. I'm interested too, I want to buy one but I'm not sure about the modding possibilities. You might be wrong about the L though. I found a model with the same specs, but it's an i9195i.

Right ! this is an i not an l (for letter).
seems it also goes under the name S4 mini plus ? see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62212646&postcount=51 .
I believe we need a recovery built for this device specific kernel, a specific CM version?
more information here : http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/110203-gt-i9195i-supported/ .
Seems some guys managed to root it and also that there is a twrp variant.
My concern with flashing a new image is it wont be signed correctly and the secureboot will reject it.
Or will a custom recovery take the secureboot away?
