When you run the Root Exporer App, (downloaded from 1moblie.com)
Look at the Top left corner.
Do you see both R/o AND r/w ... OR do you only see R/O ?

Please, always mention your tablet name.
People viewing this thread have different tablets. So mentioning the name would be helpful.
Thanks

only r/o (there is a button next to it that says mount r/w but it doesnt do anything)
I tried to delete a file off the sd card and it didnt work

the tablet name was mentioned at the bottom in the second pic, I couldnt fit it in the first pic

@Joe .... the Highlighted part is just a switch.
when it reads r/o on the right and R/W on the left HIGHTED > Tap on the HILIGHTED R/W (does the HIGHLIGHTED Turn to r/o
When you tap the highlight does it change from: r/o TO R/W ? R/W TO r/o ????

Well this is interesting. on my 7042 I have ran coby_root3 from previous post. I had to reboot because I was trynig to install IceCreamSandwich-4.0.3-Google-Play-Script from another post that I found. I have root explorer inatalled and tried from / to change from r/0 to r/w. It failed. I launched SuperSU and it tells me that it needs to be updated. I allowed and then went back to the root explorer and was able to change root explorer to r/w.

[Joe88]

doesnt change at all
it stays mounted as r/o

Have you tried to download SuperSU Joe88

@Joe88 and @davidmatt34
Please do not download SuperUser or BusyBox. You going to mess everything thing up. (patience needed)
@Steev is working on a Fix. Just be patient.

Ive managed to Root and install Google Play on my MID9742. ( Apps / Books / Movies / Music) Google Play is only partially working (60% - 70%) .

I also have Root Explorer working. I was able to manually install the Vending.apk (Google Play) and Change the permissions.

Adding SuperUser or BusyBox manually may make your tablet Unable to Install the FIX Steev is working on. (block permanant root)

Following Steev's FIX, everyone should be Runing Play Store and other GoogleApps by the end of this weekend.

Time to stop hacking and take a chill pill. Cinco de Mayo

You Are Correct.

Thanks for sharing your files. After trying rooting my MID9742, it stucks on android splash screen and the only thing I can do is entering in the recovery mode (wipe data/factory reset doesn't fix the issue). So I have to reinstall the stock system. But How ? Do I need your dump image zip file or just the system.tgz ? Copy the system.tgz on the external SD, and go to "apply update from ext. storage" menu ?
Again, thanks a lot
