Mid am705

I would like to root this MID AM705 7" Tablet but cannot find a way to do this. Can you help me please by providing a good app/link.
Thank You.

A no-brand Chinese device, which is rarely good. Doesn't seem to be much information at all for this one. And searching for AM705 on Chinese sites, shows it as being a bra. Seems to be a trading company in Guangzhou that distributes a tablet called AM705. For what good it might be, here's their contact details...
Guangzhou S.Mita Electronic Firm
Telephone: 13710467798
Fax: 020-85670309
Address: Room 105, Building 31th, Donghe Garden,Yuancun Er Heng road,Tianhe district
Zip: 510655
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

If you've already tried all the usual rooting tools, think you might be out of luck. One thing though, sure it's not already rooted? - some of these Chinese tablets are already rooted
 
Geeks.com is the US importer. Searching for "AM705" doesn't really show much relevant information at all, apart from the Guangzhou trading company, and "MID" is just generic. More than likely this tablet is distributed under other names and designations.

Is there any more information in the About Tablet menu, like Build number, Kernel version, Model version, etc. Sometimes searching for these can show more information about who the manufacturer is, which can sometimes be useful in finding information about possible rooting etc,.
 
I don't think we can identify this one at all. That's all rather generic. I did actually call Guangzhou S.Mita Electronic Firm at 13710467798, They didn't know anything about rooting at all, in fact they just said we primarily distribute educational toys, that's all I could get from them.


That's sometimes the problem with these things, there is no way to identify what you've got, that's if there's any rooting info at all. Sometimes it does give clues as to what it actually is, sometimes it doesn't.
 
Is there any app out there that can pull more information from this device..... so that I may be able to download some drivers for it?
 
There's various system-info and diagnostic apps. But they'll usually tell you what hardware it's got, CPU speed and number of cores, RAM size, etc, plus whatever information is the About Tablet stuff, which we already know. Universal rooting tools will only do what they can, and what they know about.

If there's a device which is unknown, and and non of the established rooting methods work, then that's pretty much it. Unless any more information comes to light in the future about this tablet...I wouldn't hold your breath though.
 
I'm sure there is a way to put all this in a link, but I do not know how at the moment.
Here is the info that is displayed using SuperOneClick when trying to root this generic device.....maybe you can make something out of this......
