I have put a link to the factory file, download and open it, the factory_update_param.aml file is inside.
Factory.aml.zip
Thank you. I have upgraded to 1.5.5 but all the chines stuff is there plus the Chrome and Play Shop are not working.

A new fully working root package. This WILL install Superuser, Root Explorer, a COMPLETE working Google Play-Store, Chrome, Maps, Working Voice Search and more.
No more missing apps in the store, completely safe to update all Google apps through store. Your tablet at it's BEST.
This works on all Onda Tablets/Firmware and it is to be used once you have installed the latest firmware for your tablet from Onda, if you have just got your tablet and it has the latest firmware already installed (complete with chinese apps) then just use Root Section.
ROOT SECTION
Please make sure you have removed ALL files used during firmware install from sdcard, other files (music/pics etc) are ok, then download the Root Package below -
Root_Gapps_complete.zip
Now open Root_Gapps_complete.zip and copy root.zip and factory_update_param.aml to your sdcard, once done shut down tablet and boot to recovery* the white android will show then the green android, once done the tablet will restart in chinese, go to the settings and change to your language and time zone then go to your apps and you will now see Superuser, Root-Explorer and Chrome etc.. ALL working 100%. Now enjoy your tablet as it should be.
*Recovery - Depending on tablet, Hold HOME-KEY for 4 seconds then still holding home-key, hold POWER-KEY until the white android shows then release BOTH keys. Not all tablets are the same some use the volume/back key instead of home key.
I have a V701. I tried this procedure but I haven't got it to work. I have a couple questions.
Should the root folder be extracted before I put it put it on the SD card?
What should happen when I intiate the recovery boot?
Each time I tried to enter the recovery it appeared to be entering the recovery (because the android with his chest open and reactor showing appeared) but when the status bar filled the white android appeared right away and it just continued to boot normally. Should I not have the SD card inserted when the recovery is loading?
Thanks

I think I did something wrong. Now my tablet is not functioning. What I mean is that every time I switch it on it only stays on the "Onda" logo and just stays there. I tried to go to recovery mode but it seems that I can't do it. Can you please help me? Or is my tablet bricked already?
* I've read about re-flashing a tablet with a PC? Can someone teach me how? I think that is the solution?

Don't extract the root folder, On your sdcard should be root.zip and factory_update_param.aml, the factory_update_param.aml MUST be the one from the Root_Gapps_complete file, make sure its charged, shut down with sdcard IN, then boot to recovery, it is a auto installer and works 100%, i have done over 30 v701s with this file. The white driod will show then green droid, then when status bar complete, white droid will show and tablet will start, then check your apps for Superuser/root explorer.
I tried what you said, and it worked at some point. It is having an error after the update same on the photo above me, though the difference is that mine says installing patch aborted and media partition failed something like that. and when I rebooted it, it went to factory default without the chinese apps. I wish to install those apps as what you have said, it contains important files. Is there anything I can do more? or should i just proceed to rooting? Or could you just teach me to update using the old way to reflash and install the chinese apps? without using the .aml file , i think v712s are having problem with this process.
mine is ICS 4.0.3 BB 1.5.5
Thanks. I see the superuser and the root explorer now. Is there something I have to change because when I try to use Play Store it says Server Error Retry and when I try chrome beta it says Unfortunately, Chrome Beta has been stopped.
