I've just bought the same device.
It seems that only temporary rooting can be done ATM- /system is a cramfs image (not writable).
SuperOneClick gives shell root (via adb) but messes "internal sd" access
EDIT:
There is a prerooted custom firmware available- source (4pda.ru).
What you need:
-get Rockchip Batch Tool from HERE (contains USB drivers)
-get a firmware:
a) PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root -prerooted image, no other changes
b) PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root_607Mb_free - 607 MB for /data, prerooted, Golauncher, Gokeyboard, Adobe Reader, CoolReader, Dolphin browser HD, ButtonSaviour- only for RockChip Batch Tool flashing
How to flash:
1. fully charge your MultiPad
2. backup internal flash- it will be erased
3. unpack Rockchip Batch Tool and launch it as admin
4. press and hold Reset (on the back), plug USB cable, release Reset
5. there should be a popup asking for drivers- they are placed in Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.4\drivers\[windows version]. If there is no popup go to Device Manager and install drivers
6. load firmware .img file to Rockchip Batch Tool and click Update button
NOTE
PMP3384B is the same as PMP3384BRU, the only difference is initial localization (B= english, BRU= russian)
Working or no working ? Can you geave me TOOL_RK2918.zip ?
I've tested it, and it's fully working,
i've flashed PMP3384BRU_20120116_V1.1.9_Full_root_v2 (available at that link)
which is official 1.1.09 firmare with rw filesystem and down button reassigned to back, among other things
He gave you the tools, it's the first link
Still no info about 4.0? I have installed the PMP5080B_2.0.0_20120401 (has ICS) on it and the button worked as volume but the touchscreen doesn't respond. i use Rockchip Batch Tool
Im going to root him.I think nothing will hapend.
EDIT : Working, thanks !
Prestigio PMP3384B
Is it 3.0 or 4.0? Please let me know.
Greetings

links are down, anyone have a working link to the firmware and tools?
Bricked it!
Any help would be much appreciated
I followed the instructions to the letter. After rockbatch finished I checked the tab and it wouldn't even turn on
if bricked
Bricked it too...
But i solved that very easy !!! Im so happy :laugh: I registered here just cause i wanna share this with others who have same problem
so....
Follow gen_scheisskopf 2nd post on this topic + you need to hold RESET button whole the time while Rockchip Batch Tool download firmware...
steps (only if you have bricked PMP 3384B):
1.Unzip PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root.zip and Rockchip Batch Tool.zip
2.Install drivers from Rockchip Batch Tool/driver folder
3.Open Rockchip Batch Tool.exe
4.Device is off,hold reset button 3,4sec. and put usb cable,release Reset button.
5.Now,if you install drivers properly from Rockchip Batch Tool folder (folder Drivers) you should see green light on 1. connected device in rockchip software...
6.FW PATH : (first option in this program)Pick this img - PMP3384BRU_20111206_V1.1.9_root.img
7.If firmware load success then do next step
8.Hit restore button and hold reset button(on your tablet) whole the time till process end.
9.Thats it...after success download firmware it will probably fail at next process -Checking firmware ,but nevermind,you have already unbrick your PMP and flash new ROM + now you have rooted ROM :victory: .
this works for me,but you need to hold reset button while process ONLY IF you have bricked pmp3384b!!!!
contact me on my mail [email protected] if you need more help.
First, I would like to thank Pogodancer in millions for his STEP by STEP tutorial which helped me to load STOCK ROM on my CUBOT C7 chinese phone. I am sure this tutorial will help others to fix their CUBOT C7 phone. This tutorial is also good for PHONES with SpreadTrum SP6820 on Android 2.3.6/4.0.1 . (Make sure you have the right STOCK ROM for your phone).

HOW TO LOAD STOCK ROM ON YOUR CUBOT C7:
WARNING: YOU ARE DOING THIS PROCESS ON YOUR OWN AND I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF
SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE. YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE DOING THIS PROCEDURE.
1) Download the CUBOT C7 Stock rom from here:
Stock Rom: www.cubot.net/UploadFile/Soft/C7_root_Software.rar ------ (After downloading the file EXTRACT or UNZIP it)
Here you can find other tools for CUBOT C7 - http://www.cubot.net/Service.aspx (NOTE: This is not required)
2) Download this package it has the USB Driver and Flashing Tools. Install USB Driver...
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/44295424/file.html
3) Be sure to have installed the correct drivers. For my SC6820-device I see 5 items in Win7-32bit-device-manager (ADB-Composite, 2 x
COM-ports, 2 x USB devices: all without exclamation marks). You can use the drivers from the package folder "SCI-android-usb-driver-jungo-
v4-.rar".
4) Disable just in case your Win7 firewall. (If you are using Windows XP, you don't have to do this step)
5) Launch "ChannelServer.exe" from package folder "CHANNELSERVER" and allow firewall if asked.
6) Start "ResearchDownload.exe" from package folder "ResearchDownload".
7) In ResearchDownload-application chose firmware with first button (for me: 20121006_c909_JF_EAHC_V12.PAC).----- This is the STOCK
ROM file that you have downloaded and Extracted it on STEP 1.
8) Be sure to SET the Baudrate-settings in ResearchDownload-Settings (second button). I recommend 115200.
9) Press the Start (Play) button in ResearchDownload-application (third button).
10) Turn off the phone.
11) Keep holding the "volume down"-key.
12) Without releasing the button "volume down" plug the usb-cord from phone to your PC (install the driver if not done before in step 2).
13) Keep holding down the Volume Down button..... The process of firmware-burning should start now in ResearchDownload-application and
take approximately 1 Minute.
11. Wait until the firmware-flashing has been finished (A green sign appeares + "Passed" is written in ResearchDownload-application).
12. Remove the battery, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back and turn on the phone (first boot may take a while but not more than 5 minutes).
Use this at your own risk.
No cigar on Cubot C7
Tried, but did not work on Win7 64. Drivers install but Windows says the device would not run because signature is too old.

Have you tried downloading the 64-bit driver from cubot dot net webside?. Here is the link
Darn, I cant post a link here.... go to cubot dot net website and click on services and download C7 USB Driver.
Once you download the file. Extract it and in there you will find X64 and X86 Folder. Use the drivers from X64 folder cause you are using 64-bit Windows 7.
Cant download the "C7_root_software.rar"
Ok so i just followed another tutorial on how to root the Cubot and unfortunatelz the telephone is stuck on bootcycle for whatever reason. I believe I didnt delete any critical application, but hey ... simply wont boot up.
Now I cant download the C7_root_software from the cubot-net website. Could anyone please upload the software somewhere else so I could download it and load stock ROM on my device. Would be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance to all of those concerned.
Worked
Hello guyz, an update after 2 hours. I did successfully load stock ROM on Cubot C7 from ebay. Exactly like the tutorial says. Thanks for the tutorial.
I just thought that as the download from cubot net is reaaaallly slow and I have even requested the ROM myself others may have the same problem so here you go a mega key for the files
C7_root_software: Hp2f3lp-UerqPjPs2pUu-jgzruFj59Dtz0B5ScLZSGE
Debug_Tool: ByLnzD1Q7XgPALRoYx35GnEnyIcsX_oIMCLlMyRSY7w
I cant post links and those are file keys to download from Mega.co.nz, simply search for "download from mega with file key".
Thanks for the tutorial and see you around.

The easiest way to root Cubot C7 is using Z4Root.apk tool. Download the pack from the web and copy over to your phones internal storage.
Here are the steps:
1) Install the Z4Root on your phone.
2) Run Z4Root on your phone.
3) First, run Temporary Root, You will see Superuser icon if it ran successfully.
4) Run Z4Root again and this time Run Permanent Root. You phone will boot and you will have your phone permanently rooted.
Thanks
Thank you so much for your help, follow the guide, all worked great, download was abit slow but I didn't worry about that knowing this is the only god dam tutrial I can find, thanks so much, had to register to make this post.

It's not working
Hello everyone,i did it just like above said,but it doesn't do anything,like the channel server is not connecting,and also the research download is not doing anything.
The drivers are installed,only a yellow triangle with information like signature,is there anyway to do something about it?
Windows 7 64bit,cubot c7 Android 2.3.9.
Now the reason is for the upgrading is that i have two issues,one with the signal is not wel,like cutting voice,from the mic of the phone,when talking through the phone but with the earphones it's much beter.second is that the bluetooth headset is only working for transfering audio like music to the BT earphone,and when talk to the phone i cannot hear or other people cannot hear me at all,it;s like muted the phone!!!!
Any one know about it,i cannot find anything here.
n.b.:tried 3 BT earphones
Also i see when i have a usim in the phone,it's like that there is 3G system!
Anybody?
Hello,i'm searching on the forum+net,but i cannot load again the update.zip from the site because there is no recovery option after install stock rom !Maybe someone has a solution for this?

While trying some mods for Unite 2 , my phone got bricked, i must have done something wrong because those mods are working for others. so it was completely my mistake. so i spent my last 4 hours trying to find a solution and this is how i finally got it work.
JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT TRY THIS GUIDE ON YOUR ON RISK, IM NOT GIVING YOU ANY GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL GOING UNBRICK YOUR DEVICE, IM JUST SHARING THE METHOD WHICH WORKED FOR ME
MY DEVICE
MICROMAX UNITE 2 4GB
KITKAT 4.4.2
following was the symptoms of my device only try this guide if yours are identical to mine
Phone was not booting up (nothing was happening no matter how long i press power button)
wasn't booting into to recovery mode also notification led was not turning on when plugged to PC (i.e No charging)
windows was making device plugged and unplugged sound over and over again when i was connecting it to pc using data cable
now from the 3rd point i figured out that my phone was being detected by my pc but only for a brief moment
so after searching for a while i found out that it was a problem with the PRELOADER and device was trying load META mode(donAt have any clue what that is) so i needed to Install MTK65XX Preloader USB Vcom Drivers for SP Flash Tools.
this is how i did it
Step 1 :Firstly Download MTK USB VCOM Drivers from here
DOWNLOAD
the extract it
Step 2 : Now open Device Manager in your PC by right clicking on My Computer and then click on Manage.
Step 3 :Next go to Device Manager in that and click on your PC name and then click on Add legacy hardware, see below
Step 4 : Now in Add Hardware Wizard click on Next >> Install the Hardware that i manually select from a list (Advanced) >> Show All Devices >> Next >>Have a Disk >> Browse, Now select the inf file according to your OS and from where you extracted the downloaded drivers.
Step 5 : Now click on Next on the wizard to install the drivers and when promoted for security issue just click on install any anyway to finish the driver installation.
Step 6 : After installation finish restart your PC.
Source
now remove battery of your phone and then plug it to your pc using data cable While Holding Volume up button
the windows will recognize it and install drivers, now open device manager and if you find a device under Ports(Com&LPT) which has Mediatek, MTK, USB, VCOM,PRELOADER keywords in it then you are good to go
now download SP Flash Tool
Devhost l Mediafire
and Factory rom
Download
and then extract the Factory rom archive
Then flash Stock ROM by following these steps:
Step 1: Open SP flash tool and load the Scatter file of Stock ROM it is inside the extracted factory rom folder
Step 2: Select Format all+Download in drop-down menu.
Step 3:Remove the battery of your phone.
Step 4:Click Download in SP Flash Tool.
Step 5:connect your phone to pc via USB cable while holding volume up button you can release volume button when the process is stared . Wait for flashing to complete .
Step 6: when the process is completed unplug the phone, insert the battery and then turn it one hopefully it should boot now and you should see Micromax logo just remember first boot take long time so just wait for it to completely boot
if this doesn't work then don't loose hope keep on searching for other ways ,
Nice one.... Will be helpful for some
Hello, y'all,
... First of all, please read this whole post carefully, before starting to work on your phone! Thanks! ...
recently, I wanted to update the Android version of my old Z500 with the help of lineageOS and TWRP.
Please note, that I'm not at all an expert on this topic, and if I'm using specific terms like "bricked" or "APX mode" wrong, please forgive me.
So, on my device, I had the plan of installing Android 6.0 on this phone using TWRP and a copy of lineageOS.
However, the recovery partition turned out locked and I accidentally overwrote the boot partition with the twrp.img.
This is my first time doing this, ok, and I read on a oneplus forum, that the boot partition could also be used, blah, blah, blah, silly me.
Anyways, now my device wouldn't turn on. After a while charging, the display turned on, but there was always just the low battery screen. When I got to the "Boot Selector" holding the power and vol + button, selecting fastboot, recovery or normal boot just restarted the device.
Anyways, now what do you need to "unbrick" the device :
- A version of TWRP [dl.twrp.me/Z500/twrp-3.3.1-0-Z500.img.html]
- A version of your desired ROM, for me lineageOS [androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195903470]
- SmartPhone Flash Tool, for me v5.1912 worked like a charm [spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1912_Win.zip]
- A copy of the Firmware Acer_AV0K0_Z500_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1 (... GEN1s for single SIM) [dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cin08ytkqmvr7c1/Acer_AV0K0_Z500_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1.zip] (this was the hardest one to get because all the other downloads just included the .ispff dump file)
- A copy of the corresponding version of OpenGApps [opengapps.com]
- A copy of the MediaTek Driver Auto Installer (v5.1632.00; you know you have the right one when it resets the USB Ports in a CMD window at the end; INSTALL THIS FIRST) [mediafire.com/file/4ux1ytmzlxmpbjb/ROMProvider.COM_Driver_Auto_Installer_EXE_v5.1632.00.zip/file]
- A USB Charging Cable
- A PC
- Your Phone, obviously
Set up your PC :
1. Start by installing the MediaTek Driver Auto Installer. After that is finished, restart your PC.
2. Unzip the Firmware and the SmartPhone Flash Tool
3. Copy your ROM and OpenGApps on an SD Card.
Before you begin this operation, make sure you "get your device into APX mode".
Basically, it makes your device recognizable and flashable by the computer.
WARNING: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
To do that follow these steps one after another :
- Plug your device into your wall power, NOT YOUR PC, and let it charge for about 30min, just in case. Turn it off if it's still on, although in my case, it turned off once I removed the charging cable.
- Remove the backplate of your device, unscrew the internal backplates 6 screws and carefully take the internal backplate off. If you're having trouble, just look for "Acer Z500 teardown" on YouTube.
- Carefully pull off the battery connector from the mainboard from up under. Be careful not to damage it!
- Once done, connect your device to your computer. You should now see the device as COM Connector in the Device Manager. If your device is disconnecting and connecting repeatedly, the driver must not be active. If you see no device connecting at all, remove it from your computer and after plugging it into the wall charger again, reconnect it to your PC.
- Once that's ok, disconnect the device again, and plug the battery back in.
- While disconnected, open up the SP Flash Tool, and under "Download", select the scatter .... .txt file from the Firmware Archive.
- Once that's done, all of the checkboxes in the ROM select should be active.
- Double Click on the Path of the "RECOVERY" row and select the TWRP.img. Then, change the mode from "Download only" to "Format All + Download" and hit the "Download" button.
- Plug your Z500 back in again, and you should see the flashing process starting.
- Once that's done, disconnect the phone and put the SD card with your ROM and OpenGApps in.
- Connect your phone to the wall charger again, and immediately hold the power and the vol + buttons down, till the Boot Options appear.
- Boot into recovery mode, and TWRP should start up. If it doesn't, reconnect your phone again and just let it boot for around 3min after terminating it by holding the power button and as soon as the screen goes black, also holding the vol + button. Once again select recovery mode, and now TWRP should defiantly show up.
- In TWRP, first, make a factory reset with the "WIPE" option. Then go to install and choose your SD card. First, install your ROM, then OpenGApps and reboot.
Now you should have a functioning Acer Z500 again!

Good luck,
