[HOW-TO] Root Ainol Novo 7 Basic

Alright then, can you download 'Shell Commander' from the Market and then try to enter the command 'su'.

"your device is not compatible with this item"
tried to look for others, but no use...

Oh yeah, forgot your on ICS.

Then at least try this:

Reconnect your device via ADB.
typ 'adb shell'
and when you are in the shell enter the command 'su'. If you get nothing or just 'su' as output there is nothing wrong with the su binary.

tried this with the following result:

C:\ADB>adb kill-server

C:\ADB>adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

C:\ADB>adb remount
remount succeeded

C:\ADB>adb root
adbd is already running as root

C:\ADB>adb shell
root@android:/ # su
su
mips_relocate_got[1777]: 1240 In 'su', can't locate symbol atexitCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

No tested, and gave you the right files. Accidently removed the maps app. Reinstalling firmware so I can try rooting again.

I'm sorry guys. I reinstalled a fresh firmware again. Performed a factory reset (to remove all crapware), set language to English, set my Wifi network and then rooted exactly as I described here. And it worked perfect.

Just to make sure; if you reinstall firmware by using an 'update.zip' file, everything is erased, isn't it? Otherwise there could be some tweaks left from my old installation why it keeps working.

I get E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0) Installation aborted even just flashing the firmware you gave me.

With the firmware isn't anything wrong. I flashed it thousand times. You are sure you've downloaded the complete firmware? Renamed it to update.zip and put in on your MicroSD card? And then rebooted in recovery mode? Try to open the update.zip package in WinRAR and check if it opens without an error.

Yeah that seems good! I guess you do have root access now, don't you?
What is your Market problem exactly? And downloading official firmware is a pain. The servers are as slow as hell. I'm redownloading the files for days but can't get them completely.

and i forgot to say that there is nothing wrong with the firmwares because i have flashed the unit before this thread with the 4.0 and 3.2, but now all firmwares won't work during flashing. I get E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0) Installation aborted so not sure whats going on?

Me neither. Suggest starting a new thread because I don't know the answer too.
