How to root Onda V820w tablet? Yes, I root most of my Android devices. Same apply to my latest dual OS tablet – Onda V820w (Windows 10 + Android 4.4.4). Thankfully, rooting Onda V820w is not hard and simple as ABC. And the rooting method is quite generic and maybe it will work on other Onda tablets with Android too like V919, V989, V891, V116w, oBook 10 and 11. Who know? Just try it to find out.
Step by step guide
- First of all, download this root file.
- Extract all files to Root-Onda-V820w folder.
- Connect Onda V820w to PC via USB cable
- USB debugging mode should be enabled by default.
- Let Windows install USB drivers.
- Then run ROOT_me!.bat
- That’s all.
You should able to see SuperSU application installed after tablet being rebooted. Just update SuperSU to the latest version then update the binary file will do. Enjoy root access on your Onda V820w tablet.
Great news. I am searching a way to root my V820w and you’re the only who did it.
I have a problem. I get the error
‘adb’ is not recognized as an internal or external command
Seems to me the drivers are missing. Can you please tell me what adb drivers did you use?
Regards
Hmm… Windows help to install driver for me automatically. Maybe you can try this see

Worked great thanks sir.
You are most welcome. 🙂
Which windows version are you all successors using? i had windows 10, when my onda 820w was in debugging mode drivers failed to install automatically as you say. Tried every means on windows 10 failed. Formatted my computer to windows 7, still failed and i need to root this tablet.. What windows version are you using, how do you do for drivers to install automatically?
Tried even google usb drivers failed too, even manual drivers install fail by giving me error as “Device failed to start”
I am using Windows 7
Hello. I have Onda v820w-Dual OS v1..0.1_v5, start that programm, then after reboot start SuperSU but file did not installed and root does not work. What else I can check?
Is the ADB connection working properly?
Sorry, what is ADB connection? Is that connection between tablet and PC through USB? If yes then it works good, it find the device, did something and restart the tablet
Is Android Debug Bridge going together with the soft in start Root zip? Or that is something what should be installed before I run start ROOT_me!.bat
Look like everything going good after I run but file, but after restart when I run SuperSU it can’t install a file
What file does it want to install?
Only one reason, we run Supur Su, that is for file installation which needed for root work,a ccording with your manual. I am not near computer now, dont remember name (sending from phone)
Super SU call that file binar
Update Super SU did not help, It also can’t install that binar file.
Did you try to do that on a same version of Onda?
Try to rerun everything again see. Yes, I am using firmware v1.0.1_v5 as well.
it is telling me
error: more than one device and emulator
Hmm… Not sure what is causing it. Maybe you can try on other PC see.
In the console appears many times: Operation not permitted, and the process continues as if everthing is ok, but, when I checked, the table is not root, have you any idea about how can I solve it?
Sorry about my bad English :p
Which step is that when you faced this problem?
It says adb is not recognized as a command.
Try to run it on command prompt see.

There is a guide in Chinese. http://www.ondabbs.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=71604
wow… thank you!
i’m trying to understand it with google translate… but it is almost impossbile to follow like that and also i can’t download files 🙁
oh my god…
i have somehow broken Android!
do you know where i can find the right Android 5.1 image and how to flash it?
sorry for disturbing you… 🙁
you seem to be the only one knowing about these tablets!
The official site – http://www.onda.cn/Tablet_Supports.aspx?id=315
As usual, Google Translator is needed.
i can’t download because a baidu account is needed and to make the account receiving a text message is needed… but i never receive this message to create account on my number 🙁
Try to search the exact file name with Google. Download from other site. I did that as I faced the same problem as yours.
this is a good suggestion! i will try and let you know!
nothing… all the link i could find goes to the original one 🙁
i can’t download it

First root guide for my tablet that has worked :O Huge thanks !
You are most welcome, IzaacJ.
Hi guys, how long does it take to root? Thanks.
It should not take more than 10 minutes.
Also I would like to know if for this very model did anyone try to remove the dual OS and maybe go for an Android 6 for example? I do mean a clean install and some extra space as a bonus? Thank you.
There are guides in Chinese on their official forum. You can refer there if you want.
worked like a charm! thank you Jayce 🙂
You are most welcome, Metin. =)
Does anybody know what is the newest android version for the onda v820w and where to find it? mine still works on kitkat 4.4.4 which is rather old 🙁
No new version. Kitkat 4.4.4 is still the latest one. And I don’t think there will be newer one anymore…
i accidently deleted some system files and bricked my v820w’s android part 🙁
i need to reload android operating system without interfering “perfectly working windows section”. can you guide me how?
I don’t have the guide. But you can install back Android ROM. Try to google for guide.
Link i broken. Can you please fix it?
