Question [Q] disgo Tablet 7900

I've recently bought a disgo Tablet 7900 to have a cheap tablet to play with. In overall, I am pleased with it, however I want to do the following:
  • Connect to an ad-hoc network using wifi
  • Install Android Market

For the first option, I think I need root access. I found some topics on the internet which stated Android can connect to ad-hoc wifi networks when modifying 2 files.

However, I cannot find any information on how to get root access on a disgo 7900 tablet. I've tried some "one-click rooting application" such as z4root and Universal Androot, however had no success.

The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and has 2 micro-sd slots, an ethernet port, 2x USB port, mini-HD port and a 3.5 mini-jack for headphone.
So no mini-usb for connection to a pc.

Anyone had any success on getting root access with this device? Or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome, the XDA community is about development. There are several other sites that might be able to specifically address your specific questions and issues.

Posting a message at one of the sites, noted below, more suited to user assistance will probably lead to a quicker resolution. Answers that may apply are already posted! If possible search first.

Your tablet is closely related to the Sylvania 10-inch Magni Tablet - SYTAB10MT (SYNET10LP), where on the androidtablets.net Sylvania Tablets Forum there is a detailed description of multiple root methods and the steps to add adhoc gathered from the xda-developers Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant - xda-developers thread.

There are three (3) forums dedicated to Technical Help for the various models of Superpad's, a similar infoTMIC powered tablet, at apad.tv Main-Forum.

The is one (1) dedicated sub-forum and one (1) Unlisted InfoTM forum in the Infotmic subforums at SlateDroid.com.

There are also the Sylvania/Disgo 6000/AIRIS and Infotmic Based discussions at androidtablets.net of which many of the issues/solutions could apply to your tablet.

As xda pulls users from all over the world, here are a few International discussions as well regarding the 10" infoTMIC powered tablets all of which have similar issues therefore the solution approach are often applicable.

There at several forums related to devices at the Russian - 4PDA

Since the tablet is also closely related the to some models of the Flytouch there are several Spanish discussions on-going at Tabletsmania

Portugal's adroidPT APAD forum has a few discssuion's of the SuperPad.

Finally, there is a post about the specific Hardware ID's "hwver" and how to match it to the appropriate InfoTMIC Update Wrap files described in infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius) which provides some additional links that will get you well on your way to resolving your issue.

Good luck

Hi there

I need to reactivate this topic. I just bought a used Disgo 7900 and upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.3 from their website. Since this is Chineese tablet there is no Android Market and other usefull aps installed. I tryed different versions of the market apk's but none works. All do crash.

Code:
Modell: disgo7900
Android: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 ch-kernal07@CKDEV02 #76
Build: GRI40
The problem is, that I can't get it rooted. Gingerbreak does not work. It is trying and trying for hours but without success. There is no "Development"-Menu for activation USB-Debugg - but I installed a USB-Debugg-App for activatiing it.

It seems that the device has a different bootloader. When accessing the recovery mode by pressing "home" - "back" - and "power" it starts automaticly loading a recovery image without having a chance to choose custom files.

The device seems to be similar to the so called Superpad http://www.android-tablet-comparison...er2&t2=dis7900

I tryed severa methods form the links above - until now nothing worked. Any ideas how to root this device?

Or is there a chance to have a working custom rom?

Hello hstop,

I've also updated my device to Android 2.3.3.

I've tried to root the device with z4root, however also no luck because it's asking for USB-debugging. I am going to try the app you've mentioned and try again.

Also, no success with installing the Market-app...


Edit: Cannot find an .apk-file to install the "USB Debug"-app. hstop, can you tell me how you installed it on your tablet?

I did this !
On all DisGo tablets with 2.3.3 u need:

USBDebug_1.0.apk
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7C...d0hCaC16SFVaZw

and

SuperOneClick 2.3.3
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7C...NUY0TUJONUxfUQ
Some antivirus programs might show this archive as virus, it's becouse there is expolit for android to root the device.


I will do some tutorial tomorrow.

Sorry for my bad english :/
