You need to gain root.

1. Download and intall:-
http://www.unlockroot.com/  (or a free program with similar funtionality)

2. Hold down Power + Menu until you see dead Android and a triangle

I did (2) and am quite stuck there, the tablet seems to be blocked : I
can't switch it on
again. I tried reset, power : no sign of life anymore.

Do you have a clue on what might happens ?

No (sorry).

Try a web search for rooting that chipset and CPU and/or version of
Android - you'll get identical information to what I would give, as
that's where I'd get it. I didn't own the Meiying I rooted and no longer
have access to it.

You could/should also try the provider of the unlock program.


Ok, I will come back if I find something useful.

Thanks anyway. ;)

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Thank you


BIOS? They have a BIOS?


Actually I just assumed so.

I will, if I succeed. :)

You need to gain root.

1. Download and intall:-
http://www.unlockroot.com/  (or a free program with similar funtionality)

2. Hold down Power + Menu until you see dead Android and a triangle

3. Type "adb devices" and you'll see "12345... something something and
the Recovery mode message.

4. Connect to your computer and stick a pin in the reset hole (of the
pad) till it resets.

5. Repeat Step 3. This time the "Recovery message" is real and you
should see your device listed.

6. Install Debian.

7. Create wiki.debian.org page to share the process.

Kind regards
