Rooted mine fine before I bricked it, SD card works, stable etc.  I have copied what I wrote in my bricked thread as a reply for the root method.

It may be the same as what has already been posted here but it really does work and there may be a difference so I thought I would share in case it helps anyone:

As for rooting I can’t remember where I found the particular method as I hunted for a long time and must have browsed a hundred sites.

I do however have the files which I have re-uploaded for you to use, there are some poorly translated instructions but it does work. Please note that I removed windows before doing this and the root method has 2 caveats:

1: The device will boot with the wrong dpi but you can install an app to change this to the correct value

2: The device will think there is a sim card slot so you will have a no sim icon in the notification tray.

 

I used the device for a good week and can confirm that it was stable and the sd card slot worked with my 64GB Samsung evo+

There are 2 sets of su folders as I cannot remember which one worked, also the instructions say to try it a couple of times.  It took me at least 6 attempts running root.bat etc but it did work so be persistent.

Anyway the files are below, if you need a hand please ask.

Edit: I think it may be the same as what vpghrlm   linked to but as he didn’t mention anything about the no sim card notification it’s still worth a shot.

Hi Luc, please keep us posted as I have read some people having success with the crappy realtec wireless by replacing the antenna with a more premium one on other devices.

Really interested to hear how it goes, sorry about your soldering adventures.

Sorry for the late reply, I think I have the correct bios files took me ages to find.

What helped me somewhat is to set the router to wireless g mode only. Wireless n mode is very slow with this device.

Also  with android download lspeed and set net buffers to large helps a bit.  You have to root the device to do this

Once i get my device working I’ll post some more tweaks if i find any.
