Granted that they inserted their queries into on-going threads. And also granted that they probably blew right past the video and this form’s norms when they registered. But no one even attempted to help them. Their questions were simply ignored.

This Aluratek (same folks who did the Libre for Boarders) is a rebranded Chinese tablet. Or perhaps being kinder to Aluratek you could say they spec’s a tablet and had it manufactured in China becuasue there are a few differences between the Cinepad and what is sold in China.

This tablet is currently being sold by Newegg, Tiger Direct, Walmart, Sears, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc. So this forum is likely to see an increasing number of questions about them

It appears that rooting the Cinepad may be as simple as running the program Unlock Root against it. (free at http://www.unlockroot.com/)

The base tablet that Aluratek modified slightly to come up with the Cinepad is the Yongxiang company’s YX 10A03. The 10” Aluraek lists its Model number (Settings->About Tablet) as YX 10A03 and shows a build number of ics.f33ref.20120329.

The Unlock Root website lists as tested devices two unbranded MID tablets both with model numbers of YX 10A03 and both with build numbers of ics.f33ref.20120XXX – within a few hundred of the Cinepad build.

I would be quite surprised if Unlock Root did not do the trick

The standard one click root tools arwn´t working for the BUILD ics.f33ref.20120409.
It took me a couple of weeks to find the ZhuoDaShi Tool at tabletrepublic.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=145
it worked for me.
USE AT OWN RISK!

I was hoping that someone would have a try at a custom rooted rom actually, because the firmware that Aluratek provides is basically unstable. I won mine from Quibids, and before the first week it had lost its mount points for the internal sdcard and of course my external sdcard. They provided me with a beta firmware that fixed that, but before I could really test it, the power button broke from the board. I sent it back, and here about 2 months later I now have a replacement tablet (definitely not the same unit). I find that the firmware on it matches the beta they had me flash the first tablet with, however this thing is definitely unstable. They told me it would have video issues, and in fact the Youtube app (no version I have it seems) will work on the thing. Well... long story made short, I am about to reflash the thing for about the 7th time tomorrow. It likes getting into boot loops for no discernible reason, and then seemingly comes out of them (sometimes) for some unknown reason also. It frustrates me to no end to have to reboot it, but it is necessary at times since it loses mountpoints for the sdcards just like the first one did originally from time to time. Rebooting it clears it up... that is unless it decides to start looping. Its kind of like a slot machine... never know when it will win or lose.

I am not complaining. I won it at a good price off of Quibids... and Quibids very generously provided me with an Archos 80 G9 to replace it... even though they knew that Aluratek would get around to sending me a replacement... eventually. So, no complaints here. But, it has become kind of a challenge for me. Its kind of hard to believe that the Archos and the Aluratek retails for about the same... since there really is no comparison in quality and stability. I have become an Archos and a Quibids fan.

Rooting it alone is not enough... the firmware itself is unstable. I wish I could find something that was halfway stable because I think it will be some months before Aluratek gets something past beta. It is actually not that bad of a tablet and this firmware gives it a lot of memory to work with. It has beautiful video and bright colors and a pretty good resolution. It has a mixture of good to average hardware, but not really what I would call cheap really. The problem is the firmware mostly... and a very badly designed power button that will break off very easily if you aren't really careful. I mean, it has built-in bluetooth... its not a bad deal if it would just be stable.

I was hoping that someone more experienced than I am would take the challenge since so many of these are being sold right now. I am only now becoming more familiar with the inner workings of Android. I have a fair amount of hardware and software experience mainly in PC's, but until this year have never gotten into Android. Now, I somehow have 4 tablets all different sizes and brands, and each have their own points and quirks. The Aluratek is the quirkiest. If anyone knows of a custom "stable" firmware for this tablet, I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Rooting the Aluratek Cinepad brought such a dramatic change in making it stable for the first time, I just had to come back here and thank you for the tip on this Chinese program. It is a "tad" confusing since it mostly Chinese (outside of the word ROOT - pretty self-explanatory), and had a little trouble since the thing shut down at one of the reboots instead of rebooting. I found another set of instructions that said you have to let it reboot 3 times before it is finished. I had to help it by pushing the reset on the 3rd boot and then starting it, but it worked and now the tablet is sound and zooming right along. I have a presentation tomorrow and I am thinking of using it instead of my Archos.

Thanks once again... that was a great help to me.

Hi firesorm005,

i´m really glad that i was able to help you. In fact i had the same issues (including the broken powerbutton) with my yx 10a03.
since i rooted the device it is also running, except of the WIFI, stabel now.
If you like, you can try some build.prop tweaks to give the device more perfomance and optmize the power-savings.
you can find many tutorials when you google for it.
Use them with care and as always at own risk

have fun

2 down

I have an Aluratek Cinepad 7"
I got my Win7 machine to recognize the tablet, but Unlock Root couldn't ever find it (tried all 3 types of USB connections).
Then I tried ZhuoDaShi Tool, but the screenshots at the techrepublic link were different from the app (looked like the same app, but different version). I clicked every button on the app, but wasn't able to find one that would lead to actually doing something to the tablet.
Anyone have any new ideas?

Aluratek Cinepad AT108F

So, I just bought this tab and it'll be here on Friday compliments of J&R by way of Amazon. It hasn't any ratings (probably because it's new) and I don't see ANY threads for ROMs for this model or ANY Aluratek model for that matter.

The specs are INCREDIBLE for this price point and PERFECT for my tablet needs/desires. However, I'm quite concerned about the lack of dev support. While I know this model won't EVER be a highly purchased item because of the off-brand, it does have a common A9 Cortex processor that many other higher-end tablets are outfitted with. I must be looking in the wrong places. Does anyone have any links to share?

I managed to root my AT110f using Rootburner-v0.2, using the second advanced option. When the program wants to reboot the screen goes black and will not come back on, you have to press the reset button first as the power button is dead. (you have to do this 3 times on the rootburner app)

My Tablet is now fully rooted.:good:

For those who cannot connect to a PC via USB I was able to connect to my AT107F by using PDAnet and then root it.
