I was looking for a budget tablet with decent hardware (except for the screen which is crappy) so I settled on the Allview Speed City . This tablet is similar to the Chinese Onda 701 with the small difference that the Speed City does not have Volume Up/Down hardware buttons. The same hardware may be marketed and sold under other names in various countries, so check the specs before attempting to root it. The tablet is running a custom ROM based on Android 4.1.1 that includes some bloatware (like an antivirus) next to the standard apps. Fortunately, it has a recovery ROM that lets you install zip files, so, it doesn't appear to be fully locked. So, as any power user, I wanted to root the tablet and be the master of the software installed. Problem is - there was no known root available when I bought it. Note: before proceeding make sure you understand the risks of rooting, and also be advised that you may lose your warranty. Rooting instructions for the impacient So withou
