Rooting a Nextbook NX700QC16G?!?!?!?

[grace917]

I have not been able to get rockchip to work. Another thread said it would not work because the tablets are Amlogic, not rK.

I haven't tried any of these methods, but read these threads:

I think the tablet has a MTK processor according to this link.

I don't know about MTK devices much though.

Nice catch!

I've never had an MTK device. I don't know anything about them.

I've only had Qualcomm and Tegra phones and Amlogic or Rockchip tablets / tv boxes.

I've only done my own development work on Amlogic and Rockchip devices.

Larger application partition firmware available (almost?)

HELP!!!! I got the new Nextbook tablet and have been all over the web looking for a way to improve the app memory. Out of the box, a "16G" tablet only has 823M available for apps and the rest is partitioned into OS and internal storage of about 14G. I need more room for apps!!!! Anyone have a way to redo the partition on this device. As far as I am concerned, it came bricked! THANKS!

I have been told by eFun (Nextbook) Support that the new firmware posted yesterday at

http://www.nextbookusa.com/download.php

under the firmware drop down includes a larger application partition. I wanted to try it out, but I'm getting CRC errors with driver.zip. They are looking in to the problem. Due to the holiday, there may be a delay. You can try it now and see if it works for you. It works for them. I tried 3 OSes and 4 unzip programs, to no avail. This is not an OTA update.

Thanks for the Information. I posted it to my NX700QC blog at nx700qc.blogspot.com I am looking forward to trying this but right now I'm busy with Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays

To you too!

I hope you have better luck, or they fix it quickly.
Tech support told me about this update, when I asked them about it a couple of weeks ago, but was only going to believe it when it was actually available.

Also, the price today, at least, is $49.99.

I see you had the same issue. Oh, well. I always get a response early pm Eastern, so I don't know where the support people are located.


Interestingly, the price is back up to $59.99 on Black Friday.

Yes there is a problem With the firmware

Also tried it and got crc errors with some files in drivers.zip. Hopefully they fix it soon. I will also write to support.

Firmware Update 11/30 attempt

The drivers file was updated and no longer gives error when extracted. I might have installed drivers. At least it looks successful. The flash_tool.exe app gives me a error message "flash_tool.exe has stopped working". For my complete notes check my blog post at nx700qc.blogspot.com/2014/11/trying-to-update-firmware.html

hmm, I downloaded driver.zip tonight and still received crc error.

My Error

hmm, I downloaded driver.zip tonight and still received crc error.

Upon double checking I find that I did not notice the errors. There is a new file which is much bigger but it is still giving crc errors.

ShaunMT - Please add me to your list of those wishing to support this thread to find a root solution. I just got started using your Next7P12-8G information successfully, committing myself to experiment until I managed to brick it. And after a few weeks that's exactly what I succeeded in doing, and put that one aside for now - maybe that is for yet another list.
This looks like a solid forum that is well run, and my first action upon joining was to ante up to your donate button. Please keep up your excellent efforts.
