Okay guys…. I’ve been lurking too long.
I agree with the consensus of X80pro owners — it’s one of — or the best tablets in it’s price class… except one thing… No SD available for app storage.
My old tablet — a Verizon Ellipsis 7 (made by Quanta) had the same issue of insufficient app storage space due to shared space with the OS and not being able to “legally” move apps to the SD card.
[The issue was solved by getting root — super easy using KingRoot and then using Vicky’s APPS2SD app, it was very seamless!]
We need root!
For the last month I’ve been searching all over including giving google translate a workout with checking out Mexican, Russian, French, Chinese and Italian websites for answers. Most give false hope… no one has directly confirmed a X80Pro getting root. The only thing we actually know is that we have hundreds of pissed-off users who are getting really frustrated over not getting correct information.
Out-of-the-box, these “fixes” don’t work:
IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z
Root Teclast X80Plus TuxNews.it.zip
CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
X98_PRO_5.1.1root.exe
Superuser.apk (in all of it’s forms)
as well as quite a few PC and Android’s: King, Kingo and iroot boot unlockers (and all their malware/adware ridden versions).
Making the following changes… no luck:
In the Android settings
Developer options — Allow OEM unlocking
In the 3.05 BIOS (that just came out):
Advanced>Security>TXE Unconfiguration Perform (RAN option)
Chipset>Southbridge> RTC Lock DISABLED
Chipset>Southbridge> BIOS Read/Write Protection DISABLED
Security> Secure Boot menu > Secure boot DISABLED
What we DO know:
It’s really tough to brick an X80pro… I’m guessing for the same reason we don’t have root.
<sigh>
