R7 Android TV Set Top Box

[Jaszy_Petya]

Hello !

I would like to ask for your help.
I bought R7 Android TV Set Top Box TV Player Rockchip Rk3066 (1.6GHz Dual Core 1GB RAM 8GB Mic HDMI WiFi and ethernet port).
(http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...art-TV-Set-Top-Box-HTPC-Allwinner-A10-1GB-RAM)

I would like to install Samba server because I want to connect and share all media (audio and video) to home network. I can't install Samba server because I have not get root access.

I have tried many programs and read a lot about this subject, but I could not find a solution.
Each program tells you that the device is offline !!!

I'll send you some pictures of the device.



When I open the RockchipBatchTool and after "Connect to PC" the RKBatchTool should turn into Pink. This program is working but I don't know which rooted firmware compatible for my device.


I made backup by using CWM. Can I rooting this backup and upload for box ?
The cwm not create IMG file !
Saved on SDCARD some different files.
0 .android_secure.vfat.tar
1˙536 .android_secure.vfat.tar.a
16˙777˙216 boot.img
0 cache.ext4.tar
1˙050˙624 cache.ext4.tar.a
0 data.ext4.tar
388˙484˙096 data.ext4.tar.a
8˙388˙608 kernel.img
555 nandroid.md5
16˙777˙216 recovery.img
0 system.ext4.tar
432˙399˙872 system.ext4.tar.a

Does anyone know how I can to root the downloaded firmware ?

Now I have a complete backup of firmware.
When I started the root procedure and got the failed result so I started analyze the log file and bat file.

Can you see below the complete batc file and attached prtsreen copy.

pause

adb shell id
echo --- If the ID shows as 0/root then continue, otherwise CTRL+C to cancel and start over

pause

adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown root.shell /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chown root.shell /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
echo --- Installing SuperSU
adb shell chown root.root /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb push RootExplorer.apk /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chown root.root /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
echo Completing Root

adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot

echo echo --- Reboot 3/3 - Your N101 II should now be rooted


I thinking:
If I put manually Supersu.apk and rootexplorer.apk and su and busybox files to saved firmware and upload to box the box will rooted ?
What do you think ? Any idea ?

I have many questions:
How can I root this tv box ?
How do I create a device administrator ? Need foir me device administrator ?
Which ROM version compatible for this box ?
Can you recommend me rooted firmware ?

Many thanks for advance !
Best regards !

Hi Bob !

Unfortunately, I am not an advance IT guy and just start learning the Android system. I'm sure that I can not create a new ROM.
Just a question:
If I upload the (Kimdecent B13 / MK812 with external Wifi Antena - Finless BETA ROM 1.7) that you made, chances are that it will work my box ?
My tv box made by Kimdecent Technology from Schenzen.

Hello !

Last night I restored the modified firmware (manually inject Superuse and SU binary to firmware) to my R7 android tv box, so now I have a rooted nandroid firmware !


Everything is working properly. AnTuTu score there are of 9700 - 10200 between (I measured many times but the result were different always).

If you need the rooted firmware to our R7 tv box I can help you !
