I just bought a new 16GB 1GB DDR3 10" Inch Android 4.0 Capacitive Tablet HDMI Dual Camera A10 Core. OS i think is 4.0.4. i am trying to put it in recovery mode, power button and vol down when i do that, it just boots up normally. Then i go into settings and there is a recovery mode section, i press that, it reboots but not into download mode. It will reboot into a different recovery mode that only gives me one option "system reboot now" no matter what i have tried i cant get it into recovery mode, i have read where it says to press vol up and power button still nothing, it seems as though my tablet wont respond to the vol up or down along with power button. Not sure what i can do... any help would be awesome, thanks in advance

No ideal what you are doing, the tablet is working as expected, This "It will reboot into a different recovery mode that only gives me one option "system reboot now" is recovery mode. Your tablet correctly boots into recovery, so what are you trying to do, apparently not get into recovery mode.

since i am new to tablets, from what i read i need to put it in a recovery mode to have ability to download in order to begin to root my tablet and since i cant get past that, i cant go any further unless there is a diff way to go about rooting

Honestly I have no clue what you are doing, I root and develop for all types of androids, never heard of what you are trying to do.

Are you trying to flash livesuite?

Most tablets are rooted via adb, which doesn't require any mode just requires adb to be installed and working.

Can you post a link to where you got your tablet, so i can see what type it is.

I believe this tablet is already rooted.

ok how can i find out for sure if its rooted or not, is there something in settings i can look for to find out for sure?, Also is a rooted tablet the same thing as a jailbreak on an iphone? thanks
