How to Root T-R42 Quad Core TV Box with Bluetooth Function

Written by on

Many of our customers always asked that how to root T-R42, K-R42 Bluetooth version. We always replyed that:  the same with K-R42.  yes the same, and today I am posting this blog for those who wanna easily find out with the Key word T-R42 Root.

  • Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your T-R42(Settings -> Developer Options)
  • Connect your K-R42 to a Windows PC via the mini USB port. (now only support rooted via Windows PC, no linux or Mac)
  • Your PC should detect a new device, and try to install the driver. You can download the driver http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqxz3wnqi2hpmcm
  • After having installed the driver, download RK3188_ROOT.rar , and extract the files.
  • Click “ TPSparkyRoot.bat” and follow the instructions. After 2 reboot, your device should be rooted.

      When I launch TPSparkyRoot.bat I get errors “device not found”. And I cannot root it. Please Help me.

      Driver I have installed succesfully (in device manager it is something like “RockUsb Device”).
      I connect it to PC with Recovery Button hold.

      Help me with it, I don’t know what to do next.
