I've applied the information I got from the different posts here in slatedroid and applied them to the original firmware which I also got from other posts.1. Download the firmware (build 1.7.4) from this link script_mid706_seller.7z - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download. 2. Extract the file using 7zip.3. Copy the script folder to your sd card. Should be in the root directory.4. Power on the device with the SD card inserted.5. Wait for the update to finish.6. Install the connectbot and superuser apps from post #5 of this thread -flytouch-1-9_88-rooted-market-installed-v0-2-a.html]http://www.slatedroid.com/flytouch-epad/5226-[-piece-software-flashed-device-expand-its-functionality]-flytouch-1-9_88-rooted-market-installed-v0-2-a.html.7. Enable debug mode (Settings/Appplications/Developement/USB debugging).8. Run connectbot and create a local session.9. type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter.10. Wait for popup window for and click always allow.That should be it.

Thanks, rooted!

Very nice of you to do the first part copying su into bin folder. Have to delete UPDATE.SH.BAK, file of the script folder and then everything was OK. This weird ly-706 tablet is working. Did you succesfully upgrade to some of the other mod FW here, and if so, which one?

Be sure to install superuser.apk first.1- Tap Connecbot icon. 2- At the two tabs bottom bar, tap the left one. It will open a little window with a few options. 3- Select local in this window.4 Type su. Wait a little.5- Grant permission.6- If everything was OK, should see this # symbol The Connectbot version I used (last one in English) doesn't have the "always" option. Instead, it has "yes/no" tabs and a "remember" checked box. Also, the selection is time sensitive, after 10 seconds or so, the permission is automatically denied if any option is choiced.

Did you flash with the FW modded by recursion in post #1, and delete update.sh.bak of the script folder before flashing? And please check that your device is model ly-706.

Guidos told me he might be able to provide 1.9. I'm still waiting for it. By the way, are you from the Philipines?

I tried that first but same result as yours. I was trying to use the drivers from LY-706 but didn't work. Need to read more information on how to do that but too busy for now.
