In short, I copied a flashable zip file that promises to root the device to my external SD card, but when I boot to recovery mode and select Apply Update from SD Card, it shows nothing is on the SD card. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Have you tried copying the flashable zip to internal memory? I dont have the same device, but I had the same problem as you. For some reason I cant see my external SD card on the stock recovery. It reads me my internal memory as an external SD card. When I loaded CWM Recovery after rooting that issue was resolved, though.

At the bottom of the screen I get BAD BOOTLOADER ARGUMENTS-UNKNOWN VOLUME FOR PATH /udisk/factory_update_param.aml Cant mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml Puppeteer wrote: At the bottom of the screen I get BAD BOOTLOADER ARGUMENTS-UNKNOWN VOLUME FOR PATH /udisk/factory_update_param.aml Cant mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml This is before trying to run the zip, right? From an external site:!

OK never mind. Lets try UBIFS and see if it works. This is NOT a ROM this is simply a update.zip that will deploy su binary to /system/bin and deploy Superuser.apk to /system/app If this works you should be rooted!

1) Copy update.zip to either the ROOT of your external SDcard or to the root of your internal SDcard. It does not really matter.

You do NOT need to have a external SDcard for this to work. 2) Go into your APPs list and click on the 'upgrade' application. This is provided in most AMlogic ROMs. 3) The upgrade APP should find update.zip automatically either on internal or external SDcard. Click the update.zip 4) Now click Reboot and install package. 5) The system will boot into recovery (green Android man) and do it's thing! 6) If all goes well, it will reboot and you should be rooted!

Let me know, Bob.
