1. Rooting the Mi700 DroidPad

Thanks to "Abasir" for the previous instructions (1st rooting instructions). Lityen has written down an updated and concise method:

Rooting the Mi700 just got a whole lot easier. I used the latest version of SuperOneClickv1.5.5.

1. Extract file content.
2. Unmount SD card. Essential for the process to be successful.
3. Connect device.
4. Run Setup from "CD-ROM".
5. Run SuperOneClick.
6. Click Root and it's all done.

To All User Of MI700 Who Have Rooted..
You need to boot into clockwork recovery mode and perform backup from there..

By the way please flash a new Clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2...
copy it to the root of your sdcard..

Copy flash_image
if you already have the flash_image skip this
if not download this flash_image.zip unzip it and copy it to the root of your sdcard..
on Terminal Emulator (make sure you hold it in portrait position)
type:
su
press "enter"
then type the following to copy it system/bin:
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
press "enter"
..but if you have Root explorer installed..copy it to your system/bin

Install flash_image
on Terminal Emulator
type:
su
press "enter"
then type:
chmod 4755 /system/bin/flash_image
press "enter"

Flashing the Clockwork recovery
on Terminal Emulator
type:
su
press "enter"
then type:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwrecovery.img
press "enter"

Backing up your rom image
Turn off your devices..when its finally switch off..hold down both vol+ and vol- and at the same time press the power button..you will be booting in Clockwork recovery mode..

"To move around in this mode you will be using Vol+ and Vol-...to move to a single line press and hold the Vol - or +..release it it move to another line..to select it press the Power button(if you get blank screen, press the Power button again and move around with Vol-and+ until you see back menu button disabled/enabled and select it again with Power button)
I know its difficult to move around in this mode even Paul from MoDaCo asking me how to fix this but I believe you will get used with it"

Choose Backup/Restore from the option..this will take some time..once finish making backup..choose Reboot..check your backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<date-and-time>/

CSL releasing another phone... this is the rebrand of the Huawei X6....
Take a look: http://www.lowyat.net/v2/spice-slim-mi410-csl-s-new-android-phone-2.html

Has Snapdragon MSM8255 (Same as Desire HD) 1Ghz, 512 MB RAM, secondary camera and 4.1" capacitive screen. All for RM1,499. Sounds good... hopefully CSL will give me another test unit to try hahahaha...

Maybe should sell the DroidPad and buy this instead? Huawei's products are quite sturdy... no need customer support since can hack this unit
