Discalimer: By following this tutorial and by downloading the files mentioned in this tutorial, you agree that you are doing so at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage whatsoever to your funbook infinity. This tutorial assumes that the user is working on windows platform and has the tablet and USB cable available.
Note: For those who are unaware of rooting and CWM recovery and its uses, kindly read this Namaste guide for Xperia Arc before proceeding.
A) Preparing funbook infinity and windows to communicate:
1. On your infinity tablet, go to settings-->Developers options and tap on USB debugging to check (tick) the USB debugging on.
2. Connect the funbook infinity with your windows computer via USB cable.
3. You probably already have adb (android debug bridge) drivers installed which you can confirm if your computer detects the tablet and gives you the option to safely remove the tablet (refer to screenshot 1).
4. If it is the first time that you have connected your tablet to your computer, then allow windows to automatically install the drivers for you, after which you will see safely remove options (screenshot 1).
5. Change the connectivity option from MTP to mass storage in settings-->storage-->options-->USB computer connection
B) Rooting funbook infinity:
1. Download ‘Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.7z’ file from attachments given below.
2. Unzip the contents of the file to a folder and rename the folder to ‘rooting kit’.
3. Go to the rooting toolkit folder and open ‘RunMe.bat’ by double clicking the file (screenshot 2).
4. In the cmd window, type ‘1’ (without quotes, for selecting normal) and press enter (screenshot 3).
5. Wait till the program asks you to connect your tablet (screenshot 4). Now connect the tablet to the computer via USB cable.
6. Wait till the program asks you to go to the tablet (screenshot test) and tap “Restore my data” (pic 1).
7. Allow the rooting toolkit program to install root files on your tablet (screenshot test 2). It might restart the tablet once or twice which is normal.
8. Once the program is done, it will give you a success message and will ask you to press enter (screenshot 5). Press enter and it will close the cmd window.
9. Restart your funbook infinity once again and enjoy your rooted tablet.
10. Optional – To check the root status of your tablet, install ‘root checker’ on your tablet from play store. It should tell you that your tab is rooted now (Pic2).
C) Installing CWM recovery on funbook infinity:
1. Download ‘Novotools_v1.0.apk’ and ‘recovery.img’ files from attachments given below.
2. Install a file manager from play store. You can use free program ‘ES file explorer’ and enable root explorer feature from settings. I personally use ‘root explorer from speed software’.
3. Place ‘Novotools_v1.0.apk’ and ‘recovery.img’ in root of your SD card. So the path to these two files should now be - /SDcard/Novotools_v1.0.apk and /SDcard/recovery.img (screenshot 7).
4. Open and install Novotools using file manager application (Pic3).
5. Open Novotools app and tap on ‘shutdown’ to just check whether you have given root permissions to app. If everything is good, then your tablet should shut down (Pic4).
6. Switch on the tablet again, open novotools and tap on ‘flash recovery’. Wait till the message flash recovery disappears from screen (I recommend waiting a little longer ~ 2-3 mins).
7. Tap ‘enter recovery’ and allow the tablet to restart.
8. Your tablet should now enter into CWM recovery. There are three ways to enter this CWM recovery on funbook infinity. One is by Novotools (as done in step 7 above), second by going to settings-->backup and restore-->enter recovery mode, and third by switching off the tablet and holding both the home and power buttons together until recovery starts.
9. To navigate in the CWM recovery, just press home button again and again to scroll up and down, and press power button to select an option. You can’t go back while surfing in recovery, so choose your option wisely.
10. Enjoy!
D) Removing bloatware (crap apps) from funbook infinity:
1. This tutorial uses ‘root explorer’ app to select and move files, but ‘ES file explorer’ can also be used to follow these steps.
2. Open ‘root explorer’ and grant root permissions to ‘root explorer’.
3. Navigate to /system/app folder. Tap the settings button from navigation bar at the bottom of your screen (Pic5).
4. Tap on ‘Multi-select’ and start selecting following apps (bloatware for me, may not be for you) from the folder – apps.apk, elearning.apk, Email.apk, Email.odex, entertainment.apk, Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, games.apk, GMS_Maps.apk, livetv.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.odex, mstore.apk, Needforspeedtherun.apk, PlusOne.apk, Talk.apk, Tetris.apk, WeatherWidget.apk.
5. Either delete these from ‘root explorer’ or move to SD card if you plan to use them later.
6. Enjoy a faster funbook infinity.
