I figured it out, in order to download apps onto the Klu lt7033, you must put in a micro SD card, then apps will download easily!

Wow. I did this and everything stopped working. I pressed the reset button and now it just loops the Klu logo then the Android graphic, then repeats. Now what?

There are some glitches about the way Amazon Appstore operates that this post will demonstrate how to work around, so if you do download Amazon appstore be sure to work all the way through this post. If you are not interested in loading Amazon appstore and only want to load Google Play skip the rest of this post and begin with post 105, (or post 3 of the step by step guide).
On your PC...
Create an account with Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more It will be faster and easier to do on the PC. If you already have an account, great. Just be sure you have 1 click checkout activated because it is required for use with the tablet.
On your Tablet select...

use the back button (lower left corner) to exit settings and then,
download the appstore app to your tablet from...

I'm clueless as to what that means, but just out of curiosity, go ahead and fire up ES Explorer on the tablet and see if you can get all 5 of the boxes checked in the root settings. If you can it means you're already rooted and almost done.

I just gave a Klu to a lady friend of my wife for Christmas. And since she is an elderly women without technical skills, she gave it back to me for setup.
Now I am not a big Android expert myself. Just got a Nexus 7 a couple of weeks ago and am still fighting with that.
In that, this thread is very helpful. I don't know whether I really want to root the Klu (did that with the N7 though). I am just afraid that I will brick it. At age 75, the neurons work very slowly.
I read this in one of the posts here and I wonder whether it is really worth the trouble to root the Klu.
I did get the Amazon store working. The friend does not need a lot of fancy apps. Just some games such as Scrabble or Sudoku.
What do you guys think ??
For the rest, I am really impressed on how much tablet I got for $59. The thing is amazing. A lot of functions are easier than on my /7. E.g. when I attached a USB stick with the OTG cable, it was immediately recognized and I could read from it. Another BIG advantage is the Micro SD card that the N/7 does not have. I wish Asus would have spent the extra few pennies to put it in.
I am also impressed by the speed of the Klu. Considering that it has only a single core CPU, it does a splendid job. The only downside seems to be that the Klu case is a bit instable. For tapping you better put it on a solid surface. When you hold the device in your hand, it seems to twist and warp and tapping does not always produce the desired result.

Logic seems to dictate that if Google owns Android then,
Google must have the largest Android market, right?
Guess again. Amazon's market is bigger.
The Amazon appstore app is easy to instal.
It does not launch any background programs on startup.
It quits when exited.
Google's play store has less content,
it is difficult & risky to install,
and it runs background programs from power up to power down.
I made the mistake of adding Google's play store to my tablet because...
I assumed that they must be the leader in the Android market, and
this is my 1st device with an Android operating system.
Don't waste your time making my mistakes.

Well, I could be wrong...
This morning I found an app on Google Play that I absolutely do need, and it wasn't on Amazon, or SlideME.
Just out of curiosity what model number is your tablet?
Settings > about tablet > model number
If you have "D" or later your tab should already be rooted.

Good your tablet should already be rooted.
If you want Google Play try the following.
Download, but DO NOT INSTALL the Google Play apk provided by Casperischinky. The link is...
http://db.tt/qSnXMWyJ
Open ES File Explorer. (If you don't have this yet, it is free and available at Amazon Appstore)
At the bottom left of the screen there are 3 vertical dots. Press this button.
A menu pops up, press settings.
Scroll down to Root settings and check all boxes available.
The program will ask some questions, answer yes to all questions.
The program will verify whether or not the tablet is rooted,
if it is, you will be able to continue until all 5 boxes are checked.
(If you can't get all 5 boxes checked it means your tabet is not rooted and you will not be able to proceed with the following until it is.)
Use the back button to get back to the main ES File Explorer screen
Navigate to /sdcard/Download/
Select and copy the Google Play apk you downloaded earlier.
Navigate to /system/app/
Select & paste the file into the folder.
(Don't be surprised that it seems to disappear, its made up of many smaller files)
Back out of ES File Explorer.
Shut down the tablet.
The next time you boot up you should have Google Play in your list of apps.

You are absolutely right. These guys are a lot of help. I am really amazed how much tablet you get with the Klu - and all this for $59. Although the Klu is not my own (I only set it up for a nice elderly lady), I play more with it than with my own Nexus 7 - LOL.

Be advised that I have edited the guide in the sticky for the 7033, and the work in progress for the 7052 to eliminate a potentially grave error.
I don't know if you used what I sent you in the previous post or not so...
If you have used the above post Do The Following Immediately!!!
Open ES File Explorer and click...
(3 vertical dots) > Settings > Root settings
Staring at the bottom uncheck the bottom 3 boxes,
Leave the next box, Up to Root, checked.
and then uncheck the top box.
Back out of ES File Explorer
While you were doing that you may have had the program asking for super user access. If so, you may also have noticed that even if you picked deny access the program was granted super user privileges anyway. Even the most careless of system administrators only grant themselves super user access long enough to accomplish the task at hand, and then they turn super user access back off. Unchecking all but Up to Root will allow you to see your entire file structure without the risk of accidentally erasing something vital, and turning your tablet into a paper weight.
if you have not used the above instructions, just be aware that as soon as you finish pasting the Play apk file into the /system/apps/ folder you should do the above starting with the click (3 vertical dots) etc.

SuperNoober, thank you again. I got everything working after I realized that I had a 7033D model on my hand that was already rooted out of the box. Amazon market and Google Playstore work now - somehow.
There is still a little problem with Amazon. I can download and install from the tablet but not thru the PC. It seems to download and I then 'own' the program, but it never shows up on the tablet. Initially I had the same problem with my Nexus 7 but after I called them, the problem got resolved. I guess I'll call them again in the new year.

What I did and worked for 4 tablets. This is my experience. All things have a risk.
1. Modified the RK29 Rooting toolkit (v1.2) file an added a command where the computer pushes the SuperUser.apk and BusyBox.apk files over.
Before:

Great tablets and thank you everyone involved. Nice little tablets. At $50 each should have got one to be a new car stereo.

Has anyone had an issues with apps installing successfully but then they don't open? No version of Angry Birds runs on my Klu. They all install fine, but when I tap to open them the screen goes black and then immediately back to the launcher. Anyone else having any issues like this?
I wanted to confirm for ya...I'm having the same problem. Only Rovio app I've got to work so far was Bad Piggies.
I've been following the LT7033 threads since I got mine back on Black Friday, never posted because always felt like it was over my head (re: never rooted anything before), but you guys are great!
Shout out to mavrikmeercat...hows your custom coming? Any chance you could check these Rovio apps and help us out?
