    MIPS chinese tablet, looking to find firmware and tablet manufacturer

    Hello:

    I've recently bought this tablet: Allwinner A10 android 4.0 tablet PC barato de 7-pulgadas de pantalla capacitiva

    As you can see, they say that is an Allwinner A10/ mali GPU in the product description, but that is not true. The tablet I have received is that of the photos, and does have that IVIEW 760TPC look (even the buttons are the same), but inside it's a MIPS based tablet. I think that could be similar to the Ainol novo 7 basic or paladin, but I can't find anything and the seller does not answer my questions.

    Code:
    shell@android:/ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
    system type		: actions-atv5201
    processor		: 0
    cpu model		: MIPS 74Kc V5.0  FPU V0.0
    BogoMIPS		: 719.25
    wait instruction	: yes
    microsecond timers	: yes
    tlb_entries		: 32
    extra interrupt vector	: yes
    hardware watchpoint	: yes, count: 4, address/irw mask: [0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0460, 0x0868]
    ASEs implemented	: mips16 dsp
    shadow register sets	: 1
    core			: 0
    VCED exceptions		: not available
    VCEI exceptions		: not available
    Code:
    $file su
    su: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), with unknown capability 0xf41 = 0x756e6700, with unknown capability 0x70100 = 0x1040000, stripped
    It also does have a recovery menu with 4 options:

    1) erase user data partition
    2) enter adfu
    3) upgrade firmware from sdcard
    4) exit menu

    Has Android 4.0.3, 3.0.8 kernel and compilation number 20120519.common2724.0000002 preinstalled. In model number only says: Android

    The case says also:
    SPP: 1.2Ghz
    Memory: DDRIII 512MB 4G
    CEMA10S24

    I'm looking for firmware, CWM recovery,...since the tablet comes like semi rooted. I mean, busybox says that is rooted, but I cannot make 'su' or install anything with root privileges.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I think so, but with CPU info apk from the Google Plau, I get 700-800Mhz. What does it say for paladin?

    Thanks

    YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GL5201 ROOOOTEEEEEEEED DD Here the guide and the files that you need:
    0) Extract all the files from the zip attachment here Download gl5201-rooting zip, fast and secure downloading from Zyppyshare.com in a folder of your choice
    1) adb install <pathtofilesextracted>\Superuser.apk
    2) adb push <pathtofilesextracted>\busybox /sdcard/
    3) adb push <pathtofilesextracted>\su /sdcard/
    4) mount -o remount,rw /
    5) mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/oldsu (keep a backup copy)
    6) cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
    7) cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
    8) chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
    9) chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
    10) ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (here it says "error files exists" but go on..) ***
    11) Install Root Explorer, it'll ask for root permissions...give it to it !

    Aaaaaand...tablet rooted !

    *** I followed the update_script from Novo 7 rooting procedure *** if someone has the exact solution (without error) for the step 10 these are the last two steps that gives the problem:

    ui_print(" Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...");
    symlink("/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su");
    set_progress(0.800000);

    ui_print(" Unmounting SYSTEM...");
    unmount("/system");
    set_progress(0.900000);

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same tablet as Dreamer, and unfortunately my limited technical skills prevent me from understanding how to follow blackjack4 instructions to root it; thanks for your help
