GALAXY 3 (I5800/I5801) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION, TROUBLESHOOTING, GENERAL HELP !!!
IF YOU ARE NEW TO XDA AND/OR TO THE DEVICE, OR NEED A GOOD PLACE TO START OFF WITH, OR WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SOME REALLY BASIC STUFF RELATED TO THE DEVICE, YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING POST(S). OTHERWISE, ASKING FOR HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER SUB-FORA, WILL ONLY MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AT YOU. MUST READ ON !!!
So, recently there has really been lots of mess created over the XDA forums due to careless behaviour of some newbies and disregarding of the rules and guidelines by many. So, as a part of the initaitive by the moderators, and contributors, this thread is being published.
FIRST THING FIRST, THIS IS ONLY FOR GALAXY 3 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GALAXY S3)!!
ANY OF THE STEPS FROM THE LINKED GUIDES/FORA, IF NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY MAY HARM/DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE, FOR WHICH THE XDA/DEVS/MEMBERS ARE NOT RESBONSIBLE IN ANY WAY.

2nd post -- General Guidelines For Happy Life On XDA / New Users' Guide
3nd post -- Rooting and Flashing
4th post -- Important Links

Guidelines
Some general guidelines (not rulles!) to follow -
1. Dont post in the wrong forum. Any development thread goes to development section. Any stuff related to themes, apps, games, shares general mods etc, go to themes and apps section. Any query, obviously, shall go to q&a section. Rest go to general.
2. Searching is key to a happy life on XDA . Never post without searching. If you are sure that what you want is not there on WHOLE of XDA, then post it.
3. Refrain from making posts like "thank you dev/ great work man/ thank you/ good luck/ best wishes" in development threads. Keep the development threads as clean as possible.
4. Questions will not be entertained in the development thread.
5. ETA (Estimated time of arrival) will not be entertained in any development thread. Asking again and again will not make it better, but may make it worse.
6. If you post in threads without following the above guidelines, you are actually putting yourself and others in trouble.
7. Use the
Thanks button to thank the dev/member, dont write it as a post.

SOME BASIC STUFF RELATED TO GALAXY 3, WORTH KNOWING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE !!
ROOTING -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS - Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Use the app Z4Root from market
Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Link
Android 2.3/4.0/4.1/++ (Gingerbread/Ice cream sandwich/Jelly Bean) - No need, if you are on one of these, you are already rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT WHY TO ROOT ?? - Link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING -
1. STOCK ROMS can only be flashed via ODIN. For a guide on how to use ODING, head HERE
LINK : TO GUIDE ON HOW TO USE ODIN FOR FLASHING STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS !
2. CUSTOM ROMS can be flashed either via ODIN or via CWM Recovery (Once you have it - see 2nd post) depending on the type of the file provided by the dev. .tar files need ODIN. update.zip files can be flashed via CWM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMS -
For any stock ROM (2.1/2.2) go to LINK
For a comprehensive list of all available custom ROMs and Kernels head here.

Proscan PLT 7035B - connect to PC, upgrade to JB and rooting with Play Store

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:
Model #: PLT7035-B
Processor: Rockchip 2906
1.2 GHz processor
7" capacitative touch screen
ICS 4.0.4
4GB flash memory (expandable up to 32 GB with micro SD card)
512 MB ddr3 RAM
Front facing camera
800 x 480 resolution
Wifi 802.11 B/G/N
Pre-loaded GetJar app
Kernel version
3.0.8+
[email protected] #260
Build number
rockchip

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.
Cheers

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

Rooted stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with Play store screen shot from the Proscan PLT7035-B with RK2906
Details of how-to in the third and fourth post from top.

A BIG THANK YOU TO Oma7144 :good:
RK2906 Tab Proscan PLT7035-B now joins his list and rocks with Jelly Bean Custom Rom! Click here if you want to try it out.
Am loving it.
Thanks to him the Kernel for the PLT7035-B can be found here
Or click here for direct download.
Looking foward to the stable CM10 version.
Cheers.

This is an update from my end with regards to the JB 4.2.2 Multi-Window by Oma on the RK29
http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?p=1661
Check it out
------------------------------
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.

pondering
Before I try something dumb was pondering if the update will work on 7035 pl. would love to have jb on it, and maybe get a little better battery life. There is so little info out for the pl. thanks for any help you can give.

Proscan/Curtis PLT7035-PL
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

Now the proscan PLT7035-B that I have currently is running on the custom rom - Oma Odys Loox JB 4.1.1 V1.2.3a and I might have just enough time with the tablet to make it to 4.2.2 version.

One Click Root Method for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Leak 1,2 & 3

What - This is a "One Click Root" Method instead of Swapper Method and works for Official Stock Jelly Bean leak 1,2 & 3
Where - See these two links :
Info link - http://bbs.angeeks.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2509099&highlight=%D2%BB%BC%FCROOT
Download link - [http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=210536&uk=3926112336
How - Just double click the 双击我RunRoot+SUPERSU.bat file and wait for things to happen. (双击我 - translates as double click me) Make sure to have adequate battery level before executing.
WARNING & DISCLAIMER - This is just a information post, I have tried this myself and has worked for me and please flash this entirely at your own risk. I assume no responsibility of any nature of damage to your phone if any after flashing this.

Mirror @ post # 21
Specifically regarding Leak 3 (contribution by user _ghiottone as below to this root process)
Quote
For Leak 3 it's work, but the boot.img need to change, because, the kernel not the same version (the build number 3.0.8 too, but the additional data/name aren't equal) .
This .zip contains the leak 3 boot.img:

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?

Do I need to install anything else for rooting thru one click? I double clicked the file but the mobile entered into flashboot mode and I had to reflash the rom to restart it.

Mode of connection
Can anyone please specify in what mode shall I connect the phone? MTP/ mass storage/ Fastboot??

Connected MTP wth usb debugging on.. SU indtalled.. works perfectly. Thanks to the OP

Hope it works for me also after upgrading to jellybean

SuperSu update is possible
FYI - After rooting if you get update for SuperSU in Playstore go ahead & do it as it updates successfully without any issues.

I think u should put your questions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877166
This topic is only for LiquidSmooth questions
About your question: Install BMM and do partition stuffs then you will be able to install 4 more custom ROMs on your phone :fingers-crossed:
But first, read this great tutorial (including videos)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602229

System 6 Error when loading Nano/mini Gapps on LS v32 Atrix2
I got brave today, after much reading on the forums and watching Tech ArnY rooting videos and BMM 0.3.4 - Great information.
Here are the steps that I took today and their results:
1.) Rooted the Atrix 2 MB865 (AT&T) that has OTA ICS 4.0.4 ROM. Rooting was successful,
2.) Post install of MBB 0.3.4 and SuperUser, I kept the ICS 4.0.4 ROM on System 1 of the phone.
3.) Next, following Tech Arn Y's teaching, I was able to successfully flash LiquidSmooth (AcePort-LS-KK-Milestone-3.2-edison.zip) onto System 3 post wipe clean /dalvik, et cetera and successful install.
4.) So far, so good. Next I attempted to load GAPPS from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942). Again, post check of MD5 check sum for both mini and nano GAPPS - no issues.
5.) While attempting to flash either the mini or nano GAPPS onto the Atrix 2 into System 3, it shows the following (E: Error in /ext/pa_gapps-modular-nano-4.4.4-20141121-signed.zip) (Status 6) Installation aborted.
6.) I can boot into either ROM without issues, however, even after a reflash of System 3 and again successful install of LS-KK-Miestone 3.2, GAPPS gives Status 6 install error.
Looking for clues in these forums, but I have not come across anything yet. Any/all help would be very much appreciated!

@Starrider17 I'm betting your gapps are too large for your partition size. Find the PA gapps thread and download the pico gapps then try again. If it fails again the PA gapps will generate a log and place it on your SD card to tell you why it failed.

Thanks 1BadWolf for the reply. At first, I thought that the size of the GAPPS was perhaps the issue, but it did not end up to be the case. After continuing my search in XDA Forums (a wealth of great information here without doubt!), I stumbled upon a video that explained Status 6 and Status 7 errors which are the most common when flashing GAPPS post ROM into any phone. In my case, here is the summary of the events:
1.) Flashed pa-gapps mini 4.4.4 (at 229 mbytes ) - Status 6 error.
2.) Wipe clean System 3 and then flashed pa-gapps-nano 4.4.4 (at 120 mbytes) 2x - Status 6 error.
3.) Being somewhat frustrated, and yet challenged, I took the clue for the status 6 error and by chance, I grabbed the Slim_mini-gapps 4.4.4 (at 65 mybtes) - Gapps successfully loaded!
4.) Wanting to confirm whether the issue lives in the size of the GAPPS - or - something in one of the scripts (Meta-INF > com > google > android > update-binary or update-script), I went ahead and did another Wipe-Clean and flashed Slim-normal-gapps 4.4.4 (at 183 mbytes) - Gapps successfully loaded
Summary: In business and in life, something a solution or a work-around is found and implemented without knowing the root cause!
Hopefully, the documenting of my journey here will be beneficial to someone down the road just as many of the posting in this forum have been (and continue to be) to me too!

Hey guys, thanks for trying out my Liquidsmooth port and offering your feedback. Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to work on the existing ports or even lollipop since development has completely died down.
This is because our current recovery, BMM isn't able to boot any lollipop rom and it's the only working one we have. All developers and supporters have moved on pretty much, so all you can do is just play around with what's there. I'm still kinda around with my A2, but don't have the time to do anything anymore since I've moved onto a newer device, work, life, etc.
If you want someone to blame for this, firstly blame Motorola for the locked bootloader and then blame Google for making 5.0 have enforced SELinux which is why we can't boot any LP rom. Aside from that, this device is amazing to have and I hope you all have a wonderful time with it.

[Q] Photon Q - Good plan for upgrade CM from 10.2 to 11

Hello guys
I successfully installed CM 10.2 - with description on Cyanogenmod wiki site with CWM recovery.
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_xt897) it was few months ago, and now this branch is obsolete
Now i would like to move on CM-11-M12
i tryied to install with new guideline on cyanogen mod but it stops when i am showing the package at cwm - it is saying that package is not for this phone.
So main question - does somebody done something like that ? if so, please give me few main guidelines how to do that, or what i am doing wrong ?
Thanks in Advance
Wojciech

Update your recovery - CWM is not very updated for the PhotonQ.
Use TWRP or OpenRecovery for a more updated recovery.

Thanks for that - it was very helpful.
one more thing that should be noticed and it isn't written on tutorial :
for Photon q you should use moto_msm8960_jbbl because normal will not work, info found on CM blog post

We don't have many tutorials here. I spose you just gotta do a lot of reading before you understand all of the little idiosyncrasies with the device .
