should be quoted in 1.1 Purpose of this guide
I can connect my tablet very easily from the beginning (=without reading
the howto), to copy the data (but not the apps), so the HOWTO is mainly
interesting for other purpose - but fun is a n interesting purpose also

to be complete, this one was given to me by my daughter, because the
battery was broken nearly from the beginning. I could solder an old
phone battery that gives me a bit more than one hour running time. But
it's so slow to be nearly unusable. But perfect to potentially dangerous
work.
During my previous tests, I made a system reset and was surprised to see
it's still rooted.
There are no brand on the box, but following the HOWTO I could find the
constructor ID
It's a "Qpad", L916-3, kernel 3.4.0+liusi@gpt-server-sw "290vthu Apr 3

root is assured by "superuser"
lsusb gives : Bus 004 Device 005: ID 10d6:0c02 Actions Semiconductor
Co., Ltd
adb connects but only if I turn on mass storage on the tablet (and add
then ID in .android)
