Having trouble trying to root a tablet topic

I've recently been given a tablet by my ISP. I am trying to root it, but I can't seem to find instructions for it, and even worse, I can't find the model.
I've googled a bit, but I'm not sure if there is a way to manually root it and succeed. I'm only used to rooting my Galaxy Nexus which is a lot simpler.

As for the tablet and it's model/specs, all I've managed to find is a mention of it being a ZTE E8QP on the "instructions" manual, but Googling that gives me nothing. I also did a "fastboot devices", and there I found it is using a Mediatek MT6582, according to the name mentioned there.
You can also find the tablet's page here, but it only lists the specs basically.

I'm really desperate to get root, as for some reason the Settings app came with the Users menu hidden and is in Phone mode, and I would like to have multiple users on this tablet. Among other things, rooting seems like a good start.

[Q] Having trouble updating to Lollipop topic

I wonder if anyone can help.

My Nexus 4 had updated itself happily to Lollipop 5.0 and it was working nicely, except that when the 5.0.1 update arrived it showed the android on its back with a red "!" so I assumed it was due to the phone being rooted and unlocked (although 5.0 had installed without any problem).

I have since upgraded to a OnePlus One so I decided to wipe the Nexus, unroot and re-lock it in preparation for selling it so I used Nexus Root Toolkit (my regular rooting tool) to do all of that. I tried loading 5.0.1 through it and it installed but couldn't see my Wi-Fi, although it did see someone else's. After trying a couple of times I tried 5.0 and that was the same so eventually I tried 4.4.4 and that was successful.

The plan was to leave it plugged in and charging so that it would automatically receive the Lollipop updates but it's been a week now with me regularly pressing the 'check for update' button but there is no sign of them.

I don't think there is any other way to force the updates but can you think of anything that might be stopping them? Nexus Root Toolkit downloaded the images from Google so presumably they're OK, the play store loaded and updated my apps, the time updates when I press 'check for update' yet no O/S updates appear. I can't sell it if it's not updating itself so any help would be much appreciated. It couldn't be because I have OEM locked it could it? I can't remember if it was unlocked when I got it but it made sense to do it.

Anybody having "black screen bug" on ws2401 LCD while on ACE2? topic

Did anyone of you guys have the LCD-wakeup problem with horizontal grey lines? (it fixes itself after couple of attempts to unlock the phone and mostly occurs after probably deepsleep OR if there is cold (?) outside ;]

IT DOES NOT occur on CM10 by dr.harald or ANY stock Samsung firmware (also Gingerbread is NOT affected).

But occurs on any 10.1, 10.2 and 11 by anyone (so far ;/

My Ace2 is using pri_lcd_ws2401 driver

[Q] New to G2 - having multiple issues topic

Hello,

This is my first time using any LG product having Android. I bought LG G2 LS980 (LS980VSE) with 4.4.2 from a local shop in Pakistan. I am new to LG so please help me out in multiple issues I am having.

1) First of all, I get Hands free Activation Notice every time. What is it and how do get rid of it? I did look for a solution and it told me to rename a certain apk file. I am unable to do as I am not able to root the device. I will mention it later.
w
2) I am not getting an option to Import Sim contacts. I can make calls or receive them but there is no option to import/export contacts from sim card. Could it be related to hands free activation?

3) As I mentioned earlier, I am unable to root my device. I looked for solutions and tried different methods...none worked. I tried STump root. It says I am rooted but I am not. Towel root does not support as it says. And ioroot fails in signature vitrifaction.

Please help me solve these issues.

Regards.

[Q] Having troubles with ADB on LG Optimus F3 topic

I cannot seem to get this device to be detected on adb, it's my first time working with anything above 2.3.6. so I'm trying to use Motochopper to root the darn thing. I installed the LGE Drivers, I have ADB already installed and ready to go, but for whatever reason it will not detect my device. I booted into Ubuntu to see if it would detect it there, and it did, but the root script I used didn't seem to do the trick, it installed superuser but no SU binary. Any help would be appreciated.

Is anyone having issues with this? topic

So I obviously don't know how to phone :P
The wallpaper alignment for Trebuchet is very difficult to figure out, when I set the wallpaper it moves the image to the side so I have to re-crop the picture. It's very confusing. And also, my battery takes FOREVER to charge, even when the phone is off. Is that a battery thing, or the ROM, or my phone? I have it underclocked to 1350Mhz.

[Q] Novice having trouble rooting a Samsung Young S6310 topic

Hi all

Sorry to be asking such basic questions but I have followed various guides on how to root my Samsung S6310 and I always get to a certain point and can get no further.

I am by no means a tech expert so if you could reply as basically as possible I'd appreciate it.

I get to a point where I have copied a file onto the SD card in my phone, I then reboot the phone in recovery mode and try to select the 'upgrade from sd card' option but all I get is a picture of the android logo with a red cross on him and i can't get any further.
It doesn't matter which file I try to do this with which is why I've not listed any particular file as an example. I never get to a point where I can choose a file from the sd card.

I've made sure the tick is in the box for allowing apps from other sources and also the tick is in the box for the debugging in the developer section of the menu.

Am I making a stupid error somewhere?

What does the android symbol with the cross mean?

Appreciate any help.
