The one I actually own it the first listed in the parenthesis, Apex Solo 7.85 inch TMAX Digital TM785CH. But the NuVision TM785M3 is identical down to using the exact same manual with only the title page different. The ACER A1-830 is very similar.

My Specifics are:
Android 4.4.2
Kernel 3.10.20, Sat, Jul 5 2014

See the
[TOOL KIT] myKIT_BATCHV1.1.x
method posted on this Forum at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51090040

Notes:
  • Download myKIT_BATCHv1.1.x.7z and use 7-zip to extract
  • Download myKIT_BATCHv1.1.2d_PATCHKIT.7z and SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT DO NOT EXTRACT
Place both in the mykit-downloads folder​
  • Run run-me.bat once. Then Close and Re-Run run-me.bat
  • Choices you want are
“A1 ROOT KITS”​
“SDC_INTEL2_ROOTKIT”​
“root with superSU Installation”​



The only things I added which may be of import are:
  1. Plugged the device in via USB and let Windows 7 load the default drivers
  2. Loaded the Intel i9 driver set http://dl.vmall.com/c05puw4c3v#
  3. Installed SDK Platform-Tools and established adb connection (adb devices) before running run-me.bat



You might try it running the myKIT_BATCHv1.1.2d as-is and if it doesn’t work, then try the above NUMBERED steps

He/she took the tool down!

I recently recommended the TMax Solo TM785CH to an older woman who needed a bigger screen cheap. As of this very moment WalMart has them for $54.99.

So I needed to root it. Fortunately I kept a copy of the tool and am posting a link here for whoever might still need it.

I'm so glad someone else got this tablet!

On the apex, after rooting, were u able to use busybox on it? I was wondering cux the only reason i want root is to be able to sync app data across devices via datasync app. Well...cyanogenmod would be nice too but i dont think that will ever happen. :D

Works on APEX Solo7i (TM772) tablet

THANK YOU!!!!! As my username suggests, I have little to no experience with Android. I used these instructions and was able to root and install SuperSU on my tablet. I have spent days searching to the end of the internet and back and couldn't find much of any info on this tablet. As I am going to be using it as my Car-fo-tainment system, i needed to root and install custom kernel(s) to interface multiple USB devices and charge simultaneously.
Anyhow, I just wanted to let everyone else know that this works for the TM772 as well (KitKat with Intel Atom Clovertrail) since I anticipate more and more people will be working with this tab given the Black Friday deals. THANKS A MILLION!

Download and install PDAnet to both your computer and tablet.

Download and install SuperSu and RootChecker to the tablet and KingoRoot to your computer.

On Tablet:
Turn on USB debugging. Settings > Developer tools > USB debugging.
Connect to your PC via any USB port > Turn on USB Storage > Open PDAnet > Activate USB Tether.

On PC:
You may have to connect PDAnet on your PC but mine did it automatically when I activated USB tether on my tablet. Then open Kingo Root, click root and pay attention to your tablet because a little window will pop up asking to grant permission to SuperSu. I missed it the first few times and had to start over. Once you see that and allow permission, open rootchecker on your tablet and verify. With any good fortune you'll see Congrats! you're rooted!

I tried using this method, but when I got to the CWM Recovery screen, my volume buttons didn't work. Now they won't work at all even booted up. Any ideas? I have a stock image for the 4.4.2 but don't know how to flash it work fastboot.

Volume Keys no longer working

I have the same problem.. I finally got to the tethered CWM screen, but was disappointed when I tried using the volume rocker to scroll down to "Root phone and reboot" All I could do was press the power button which corresponded to "Reboot without Root". So when I restarted I was surprised that the volume keys don't work at all anymore. Maybe I can flash stock image using fastboot but as a noob, I do not know the step by step instructions to do so. Any Ideas?

TM772 everything works but no root

I got a APEX Solo7i TM772, it was unused by family and I took it over after my poor Nexus 7 2012 died (RIP). I tried both the old myKIT_BATCH and the replacement IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 from Intel Android Devices Root / Temp Recovery Session.

My TM772 stats:
Android 4.4.2
IFWI version: F9.EE
Kernel: 3.10.20 [email protected] #5
Build: Weibu Firmware For 70v 20140902

With IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 using the T1, T2 or T4 options I can get TWRP loaded. Then I install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip. Everything goes well with no errors or problems and SuperSu is installed, but I run Root Checker it says I'm not rooted and SuperSu can't update.

I'm a little less inclined to root it because I was able to delete all the bloat with TWRPs file manager but getting to the last step with no errors but still failing is really annoying.

Hello!

Kingo Root also roots this tablet nicely.

What *I* need is a way to extract the ROM from an identical 785M3 tablet and reflash another one that's bricked. Can anyone here help me with THAT?

The South Asians at NuVision won't provide me a ROM image, but they WILL charge me $40 to reflash it.

I know, I know.. We should nuke India and start over, while making them think it was Pakistan...

Thanks a lot. It worked with an AARP RealPad tablet too. :)
