Looking for an original copy of /system/app/PortalApp.apk for version 2.3.6
I enabled dock-less webtop via HDMI using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357600
The mod works fine but I'm trying to revert back to stock behavior, and realized I mistakenly destroyed my original /system/app/PortalApp.apk file with a fat finger while backing it up.
I'm finding this file all over the place for other phones and versions, but just not the Atrix 2.
I'd rather not have to use RSD for just the one file, if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance!
I found the 2.3.5 version with size 1,263,073 dated 9/21/2011 5:37PM, if I remember right the 2.3.6 version of the file has a stamp around December 2011.
It might have been around a 2011-12-17 date stamp.
This should do the trick
yahooooo! (thanks).
BTW, thank you for your work on rooting A2, love it!

No problem, glad to help.
Just for the record, it was NOT me who created the root exploit for 2.3.6. Dan Rosenberg did all the hard work there by creating an exploit for the Droid 4 that also worked for us. In the batch file it should give proper credit to Dan.
Indeed, thanks to Dan primarily.
However someone had to have the guts to try this out and then provide such easy to follow steps.

The much requested and highly anticipated video tutorial on how to flash your Milestone XT720 back to a stock 2.1 ROM.
This is a two part tutorial. The first part is explaining how to download & install the necessary three items: The Motorola USB drivers, RSD Lite v4.6, and downloading the stock SBF file. There are links in the video description to obtain these files.

The second part is the actual flashing process. During this video, I have flashed my phone back to it's original Cincinnati Bell 2.1 Stock ROM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA67WaBfGWQ
Note: I used the Cincinnati Bell 2.1 US Stock ROM sbf file. There are other sbf files available, but I do not have links to them. If someone else has links to these, please share them in this thread for the everyone else to benefit from them.
Happy Flashing!

Ematic eGlide XL Pro 2 with ICS: how do I root it? It's just released by Ematic 2 weeks, so it will be a long while before someone develops a dedicated root bundle.
I need something that will root Ice Cream Sandwich on pretty much any device. My ultimate goal is to install Google Play. I have a modded APK from XDA, but no way to move it to the right folder (or even a way to be sure the mod instructions are pointing me to the right folder!) or give files the needed settings.
I'm going to try Android Commander (from a 2 year old post here), see if that helps. But I really have no way of knowing for sure what to put where!!!! I'm hesitant to follow instructions written for Android 2.X and start deleting and adding files in Android 4.X!!! Kinda like using the shop manual for a 2009 car to make a repair on the 2012 model: not a smart thing to do...
Can anyone give me a link to a root how-to? Or a link to "ICS root and/or directories for dummies"???? Anyone?
Details of how to connect to PC, upgrade to JB and rooting with Play Store in posts #3 and #4.
I came across this tablet during the holiday season sale at P C Richard and Son (don't see them carrying it anymore). Found it to be a great deal for 59.99 USD (+tax) since it looks like it has a lot of potential for so cheap a tablet.
The one I am currently playing around with is the last of the 5 that I had picked up as gifts for others (and this one will be reaching the recipient soon).
When searching the web for more info, could practically find none. Most of the stuff I saw online was desperate queries of folks struggling with this model - Proscan PLT7035-B from Curtis Intl..
I love the Jelly Bean on my Nexus 7 and the Note II - and so was just trying to put together a sort of guide of the great work you folks have been doing here at XDA that will immensely help those who seek them for this particular make/model.
Product details:

In the next couple of posts, will try my best to explain in detail the steps that I took to upgrade my tablet from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1 and successfully root as well as have CWM installed along with Google Play store.

Now before we get into details about flashing etc. link below is a nice "guide" article about the various terminologies like what is a Bootloader, custom ROM, Kernel, CWM, Firmware, Flashing, ADB, Root etc.
http://androidforums.com/4657640-post1.html
Click on the above link - a must read for newbies.
Now the Statutory warning: Follow all the remaining steps in this thread at your own risk. It worked fine for me - so neither the forum or me are liable in any sort of way for any damages whatsoever that you may bring upon yourself.
Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Update:
Proscan Model Number PLT7035-B has it on their official site:
http://proscanvideo.com/item.asp?itemnmbr=PLT7035-B
Firmware:
-------------
4.0
http://www.curtisint.com/html/custservice/manuals/PRO_PLT7035-B_FIRMWARE_4.0.ZIP
4.1
http://www.curtisint.com/html/custservice/manuals/PRO_PLT7035-B_FIRMWARE_4.1.ZIP
Manual
http://www.curtisint.com/html/custservice/manuals/PRO_PLT7035-B_ENFR.PDF
As always - statutory warning - neither me nor the forum are liable for any damages to your tablet - do it at your own risk - no one other than you alone is liable for any damages arising from the usage of this guide.
How to upgrade the firmware after downloading it from above link:
Get the RKBatchTool
First of all - ensure that your tablet is FULLY charged.
Unzip the RKBatchTool v1.5 to your desktop
Turn off the tablet and disconnect from the PC.
Now press the Volume Up (+) button and keep holding it down.
Here comes the slightly tricky maneuver - you have to keep pressing the volume UP (+) button and connect at the USB at same time in to the PC. The tablet will power up on it's own but the screen will remain blank
Once the PC starts searching for the driver, you can release the volume button.
Windows will prompt you for drivers for "RK29 device".
Use appropriate drivers from the driver folder.
Have attached some pictures collected from the web (it is just to give a visual idea as an aid to the walk through and may not be detailed nor accurate in every aspect since some of them are from instructions for other devices).
Run the RKBatchTool v1.5.
Click on first button at the left bottom end of the tool screen - this is a toggle for Chinese/English versions.
In the "FW Path" load the update.img file by clicking on the top right side button with the three ... dots
The following will appear in the status box after the "connected devices" box turns green.
Loading firmware...
Loading firmware Finished.
I clicked "Upgrade" (even though the picture says restore).
Your previously green colored box of "connected devices" will now keep flashing in yellow.
Sit back and have fun watching the status box - will probably take a couple of minutes for the whole process and verification.
When it is all done with - the tablet will reboot.
Remember that the first boot would take a longer time than usual powering up time - so just be patient.
All the best.

Attached below are the pics from Proscan site Powerpoint.
I have successfully rooted it twice and installed Play Store (once with ICS and now with JB)
First time it was with help of amjtech thread [Tutorial] Proscan PLT-7035-PL Root and install GAPPS
Now I tried the [RK29][TOOL] Root RK29 Tab Toolkit since the sdk was already installed.
Very simple and super effective rooting process.:good:
The first time when I ran in to driver installation issues it was pertaining to permissions.
Found work-arounds elsewhere and also had issues with the installing google playstore.
Hence used the Vending 3.9.16.apk from thread [Share] Google Play 3.10.10 [Updated 14.12.12] to resolve it.
Installing CWM was also a breeze - thanks to the great work of fun_ . It is a simple process if you follow his guidelines :good:
He has been very kind to upload an exclusive CWM-based Recovery image for ProScan PLT7035-B (ext4)
Click above link to d/l it and follow installation instructions
--------------------------------------
Precautionary measure - the following is just in case something goes wrong and you want to revert back (and also to have a copy of original images) :
I used the romdump technique and following Oma's suggestion have created the kernel, boot, recovery and system images in SD card for ICS 4.0.4 of Proscan PLT7035-B
http://www.4shared.com/zip/UtCs-yCE/Proscan_PLT7035-B.html
Above link upload to 4share is exclusively for the Proscan PLT7035-B (ICS 4.0.4) and hopefully has not been corrupted because my internet connection has been flubbing for past few days.
Have fun and remember to use caution because you alone are responsible if you brick your device.
Cheers
yes ok

There is also a Second Test Build CM10.1 (Thanks Oma) on Proscan PLT7035-B
Tried the CrewRKTablets_RK29_Loox_CM10.1_4.2.1_20130113.7z along with CrewRKTablets_Format NAND.zip with the custom kernel made by him on his ICS thread.
Am very happy to say it is working great so far except for the spotty wi-fi at times and also screen rotation (needs sensor/rotation calibration).
Please remember that it is still a test build.
Cheers.

Sooo I had a moment of derrrr and flashed the jellybean upgrade for the PLT7035-B to my 7035-pl. Boots up (quickly I might add) and goes to the lock screen but I have no touch control over the screen. Does anyone have an image of the original firmware for this tablet? Or any Idea on how I can regain control of the touch screen?

But you can do all the rooting and install CWM along with playstore as mentioned in post 4 since fun_ has a generic CWM on his site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37221496&postcount=4
Would also appreciate it if you could kindly do a romdump of your 7035-PL and host the Boot, Recovery And System Partition Images to help people like capfl2k5 whose post from another forum is quote above.
Also try requesting Oma for a suitable kernel in his JB custom rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903745 and you will be all set. I really like that rom he has built.:good:
And then you could also try the CM 10.1 with that same kernel
I will see what I can do . I have su already but did not have any luck with with Google play I will try again later

So Nishant as confirmed by you it works. I believe you used this on leak 1, correct?
I mean the swapper root method was something else (pulling out battery et al) What was that thing about script runs fully in Chinese (as long as it works, no complaints though)
Today has been a great day for Atrix 2 - One click root method, 3 (T.H.R.E.E) ROM's based on JB 4.1.2, WOW, YAY..Loving it
I just wish Whirleyes gifts us BMM latest version having full support for Edison (I recall him mentioning Edison is not fully supported as the code of BMM is based off Spyder {hope i mentioned that right}) then we are set to rock with having JB 4.1.2 leak 1 as main system & three JB based roms simulataneous install option using BMM
All the text written in batch files is in Chinese so..... I'll say just blindly press any key when asked and you are rooted
Ya used it on leak 1..
Rooting on JB just easier
I have tried this out it is just so EASY to root our JB phone. Thanks to everyone who wrote the script and shared it. Thanks a ton...
I would say it has reduced the HASSLE of starting the phone in AP Fast boot mode rebooting it and then using all the commands. (No issues for the earlier method as it was really great)
Mods - Sticky please?

I have found may threads out there with very detailed instructions, but I can't figure out if that's what I need. I'm apparently on Gingerbread, but what do I need now? The Icecream, the other one?
Reason for rooting: phone too slow with so many apps loading themselves in the background. I want to be able to prevent all these [expletive deleted] apps from loading themselves automatically. I also want to remove the stock apps I don't need (but can't now remove). I'm tired of factory resetting every other week to improve performance.
Ultimate purpose: phone, sms, whatsapp, news. That's it. I don't need 3d porn or anything. :angel: My needs are extremely minimal.
Thanks for any pointers! :good:

I have a friend who has the same phone model and is running JB 4.2.2 on a CM10.1 ROM and it is smooth.

Thanks Sewrizer. I'd rather brick the phone than pay for the service. I already have a more recent phone, so this is more of a second device. It's just that I like the typing better so I haven't completely stopped using it. I guess I'm sort of relishing the idea of an experiment with it as well.
Do you have a link to instructions for the above? If it works for your friend, it's good enough for me.
Unless I hear something back, I'm getting ready to try this:

thanks a lot.
which cf-root?
Thanks Sewrizer. As it happens these are the instructions I started with, and from which a lot of confusion arose (I can't post urls yet).
The first link is to Odin3 v1.85, but I have found Odin3 v1.87. Not sure if there is a later version. It says somewhere that the latest version is best.
The second link is to a series of posts with many download links. Somewhere down the page it states that if you're confused, then:
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.

Well, my build number is of the form GINGERBREAD.zsjv6, which doesn't fit the pattern described (I don't see any JPy, I see jv6), so which version of CF-Root should I download?

How to root your S3
Hi, I used one available in droid lessons, but i'm not allowed to post links yet. Just look in google for droid lessons and then " How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 " It was really easy, and worked great for me.

S1
Thanks fabiolaec, mine is only the S1 (not S3) so I'm not sure it would work

downgrade
Sewrizer said:
Looks like that tutorial was only good for stock froyo users. Since you have gingerbread you must have updated your phone. I think you may have to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.

yes you're right I did upgrade at the Samsung store. I'll follow up your link now, but it's starting to sound awfully complicated :silly:
Thanks Sewrizer :silly::highfive:
