Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 MT6575
Hello Everybody!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 CLONE, the MT6575.
It is possible to put Android on this phone, and there are different versions which you can put on your phone, however, not all of them work fully. I am not responsible if you brick your phone, or any damage done to it, but hopefully, there shouldn't be much damage done.
Not sure this is your phone?
If you have any doubts that this is not your phone, please do not download or use the roms linked here, This can destroy your phone!
As I only have the MT6575, I do not know the differences between this and other phones, but this phone should have 2 Sim card slots (Covered with silver foil to start off with), and a battery which reads SUNSANG (Not SAMSUNG).
Some Images:
Sorry that some are pretty bad quality, I was using a temp. webcam when I took them and the webcam had a bad resolution.
UPDATE: I now have a galaxy ace so im not going to be using this phone much. I found a replacement charging port as mine broke. Any problems reply here and somebody will try to help! I dont check back often here, but i know some users do. Not many people have this phone so i thinnk this thread is kinda dead! If anybody wants to update the roms and stuff, feel free. I dont host the roms, its Pappiedappie, so pm him if you cant get the links! Have fun with this fun, its a decent phone for the price! Good luck![/URL]
Downloads
** IF SOME LINKS DON'T WORK, PLEASE PM HOPELESS_GUY103. IF YOU WANT YOUR LINK HERE, PM ME ASWELL **
** THE RAPIDSHARE LINKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING, I've tried to PM Pappiedappie as they are his links, but otherwise you can find all of the files HERE **
The Factory (Original) Rom which came on my phone when I bought it can be found HERE
The Modified Recovery for the mt6575 can be found HERE
Andriod 4.1.1 OS With camera fix can be found HERE
A signed version of " Gapps-ics-20120429 " Can be found HERE
If you wish to use the 4.1.9 Rom, Which I use & it works great, it can be found HERE
There is a link that I have found HERE, and also HERE but I have not tried downloading any of the ROM's and therefore do not know if they work, and they could be for a 1 sim phone, I don't know.
Most of these links come from pappiedappie's signature, which contains some very useful links! Thank you!

FLASHING GUIDE
What's needed:
USB data cable
MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
SP Flash Tool ( Latest version SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01)
First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.
Flashing the whole ROM
First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file
(MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.
Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).
Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.
After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.
Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:
“Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).
When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,
which means that the process has been successfully terminated.
You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.
Flashing only part of the ROM
In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.
Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).
The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.
The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.
Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,
preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.
Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.
Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.
After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Hi,
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921178), if you read through it, I believe there is also somebody else who has a 1 sim phone.
If you take off the back cover, above the battery, there may be a CONCEALED 2nd sim slot, under some foil. If there is, You should have the right phone as the one in this forum, if not, check the other thread.
Cool. I will follow. I have this phone but my battery does indeed say samsung. I have two and they both say samsung.
Nice..good luck with this thread. As long as I own such phone I'll follow this thread and will help when possible. Keep on this work.
if possible op please upload the 4.1 rom on dev host

Hiya,
I don't actually know how to make the roms, they have been created by others. If you have a link, please PM me it, so i can put it on the main page. However, I think the last link in PappieDappie's sig. is 4.1.1 Dekdee?
I thought that seeming as the other old thread never got updated, I should make a new one, as it would help new people find their way.
Also, if you see a samsung galaxy sIII theme for andriod, please let me know, as normal andriod looks a lil different from samsung andriod
thanks

Hi...
Wonderful Thread......and very informative.......Just couple of suggestions........
1) If you could ask / request all users and posters in this thread to include 2 Pics of their Phone....front and Back (with back cover removed, showing battery, SIM(s)and Memory Card) .....this so everyone can figure out what phone He or She is using and would seek any help from the User of same phone.
2) If you could attach the Pics of the ROM (s) that are posted here.......along with the About System Pic.
I think it would be very helpful to you.....and to all the Users of this thread.....Everyone will know exactly what they are looking for.
Also.....if these ROMS's can be flashed via CWM or Custom Recovery.......that information can also be provided....
these are just suggestions......
Thanxxx

You have to change the home screen background too. On your launcher, press the left menu button, then System Settings, Display, Wallpaper and pick a option from there.
Then again, it depends what rom you are using.

Tips
Hey! I have some tips!! I have a camera.apk that works for our phone. You have to push it to system though. It has camera, video, and panroma (sorry I don't know how to spell it) works perfectly it's not upside down!!! I also have svoice if you want it.I also suggest you guys use xposed if youre rooted and then use tweakbox if you want to change your status bar and clock color! It's so easy!!
Also, I tweaked my 4.1.9 rom, but I'm not sure how to put it together like a zip so others can use it! There are some pics of my rom using nova launcher!

Well I'm kind of in the mood after getting some good feeback from my Defy ROM, so seen as though v1.08 has been released by Advent - I thought I would try and get a release based on this out - try and liven up the vega section on XDA!
As I've said before - I aint no Dev and don't profess to be. I know a fair bit about Android, but I don't compile, what I can do, is put things together that make it easy for others.
As you can see I've marked this as a release candidate, so I'm open to suggestions of what else could be included/improved on, although this is meant to be an unbloated blank canvas for people to build on.
ROM Includes:
Advent v1.08 base
Flash (You may need to reinstall by browsing to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and reinstalling the app in there)
Launcherpro
Gapps (No Gmail - I don't use the app - download from the market if you want it)
High Res Gallery
Moduleap screen calibration app
ES File manager
New for RC2:
Included small notification bar
Custom Boot screen
Modaco USB Switcher (Host/Slave)
Optional Clockworkmod Recovery
Added stock taskmanager back in (even though I think its fairly poor)
My favourite part of this is the installer - I don't think you can get much simpler than this. I'm sorry to Mac and Linux users, but this is a windows installer package, I've never owned a mac (and probably never will) and have limited linux experience.
Install process:
This assumes you have already have the Vega nvflash/adb drivers installed.
1) Download Higgsy_Modded_v1.08_Vega_RC2.exe here
2) Make a backup of your current ROM using clockworkmod recovery (If you use it).
3) I Also advise a backup of your apps/app data via Titanium Backup.
4) Boot into nvflash recovery using the following method:
Disconnect power cable if connected
Power the Vega off
Reconnect the power cable
Hold the back button for 2 seconds
Keeping the back button held down, press and hold the power button for 2 secs
You should hear a "bing bong" from the PC - if so release the buttons
If you don't get a bing bong, disconnect power for 10 secs then reconnect and try the process again.
5)Once you are in nvflash mode execute the Higgsy_Modded_Vega_v1.08_RC1.exe you downloaded, once complete hit enter when the DOS window prompts you.
6)Wait 10 secs and then power on the device as normal.
Installation for Clockworkmod Package:
1)Download the Clockworkmod_Install.exe from here
2)Make sure your Vega is connected to your PC and you have USB debugging enabled on the device
3)Double click the Clockworkmod_Install.exe program and let it do its bit
4)Once the DOS window disappears then it all done.
5)I recommend a standard shutdown/cold boot after install (prob don't need this, but I like to do it anyways.
I had previously posted earlier that clockworkmod was giving black screen, I can now confirm that installing via the above method, has stopped this for me- I have done 3 reflashes/install clockwork/boot into clockwork/flash a zip/reboot/cold boot and it hasn't black screened me, I was probably trying to be a bit clever trying to integrate things I didn't need to, and to be fair its better as an optional extra anyway.
Further note from me on clockwork mod after someone reported BSOD:
Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot in clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.
Enjoy the ROM
Thanks go to the following:
[email protected] for all my hosting
[email protected] for the Recovery.img/app for the vega. and USB switcher (And indeed kicking of the whole vega scene) At the end of the day Modaco got me into android and for that I'm grateful.
[email protected] for High Res Gallery3D
Fede Carnales for Launcherpro, that is included in the rom.
Estrongs team for a great file explorer.
Advent for making the technology available at an affordable price/original firmware.
Anyone else who thinks they should be thanked.

in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.
would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)

I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.
Edit: I want to compile it myself too (framework-res) and not use the other one thats available, gives me more experience if I do it myself.

Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hi Higgsy,
Thanks for making this easy for us that are not so well informed and those that can't be bothered
Mine crashed tonight, Nothing to do with your update, but would it be ok to use your update to bring it back to life

Great work Higgsy.
I would like to see button savior installed as default, its a must for the vega. Also would like the small taskbar. Also does this contain flash?
Thanks mate
Small notification bar patch added to the OP, changes something else too, spot the difference.

Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.
Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.
I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.

considering trying this rom out, but if I did and didn't like it, what would be the easiest way to get back the factory AT&T rom?
@bbombf
if you don't like my rom you can download AT&T's original rom, just google "Jack Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrade.exe".
or go -->Here<--
GOOD work~
just a little peak of the icons, would like to change the waiting cursor but haven't found any easy accuses to any i like.
I installed this ROM but I checked "Select/Deselect All" in Download Area, included EFS Clear.
After a flash, my IMEI Changed by "0000000000000"...
How restore my original IMEI?????
8. in the Download Mode area, check "Select/Deselect All" it should check all the files for you.
it was not my intention to change anyone's IMEI number. i am terrible sorry for that.
i've uploaded the Stock AT&T rom as a PDA (i637_AT&T_Stock.PDA) so that the people that have been affected by the imei change, can change back to the original. if they want too.
But, this is not limited to just those. everyone can flash it, just follow the flashing instructions.

New Rom Info
Thanks Spiaatie.
i did a lot of searching for the correct flashing instructions. i have personally tried these new instructions (on a friends i637 phone) and can say they work! follow the new ones and you'll be just fine.
if you were affected by the imei change "*#06#", with my initial release. the best thing i can do for you is tell you to see if your carrier can help you out. sorry.
will be uploading a new rom soon.
goodwork! my i637 lost IMEI

the best way to get it back is to contact your phone carrier and tell them what happen.

it's not a bug. it was just a mistake in the old flashing instructions. he has corrected it since then.

i just dont get the fact why should i choose all 3 files but tick only pda to be flashed. Isn't only pda enough?

i've have these for a bit, and though they are nice. i felt it would be easier on me and others, if i kept it as close to stock like as i could. this way their will be less bugs and more memory and ram. also closer to my style...

OK then. Will have a try. I have been trying to find a custom rom for a year or more without any luck. Not counting chinese roms full of mistakes and chinese lang . Let's hope this is it.

MTK 6575 STAR N8000 GUIDE AND BEST CUSTOM ROM INSTALLATION GUIDE.
<ul>
<li>First off I started this thread to seperate the current thread for this phone that is riddled with question and answeres and it is super difficult to find what you need to find in the thread. I am writing this guide and thread to give back to the forum for the many days and hours I spent finding everything I needed to find, to root, flash and mod this phone properly. My hopes are with my knowledge on the subject you wont have to spend hours of fruitless searching like I did to find what you need. I'd like this thread to stay uncluddered with multitude of questions if you have them, message me or go to this thread here and post please: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210&page=96
<li>I would like for anyone finding new ROMS, making custom firmwares for this phone to please add them here to begin a nice list of ROMS custom or official for people to be able to find them in one place.
<li>First off i'd like to give credit were credit is due. Shout outs to;

and anyone else I may be forgeting I appologize
The Guide
<li>Follow Bruno Martins guide for setting up sp flasher here: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html#comment-form
<li>Just some notes and observations that were not mentioned in his guide that will help. In order to install the drivers try right clicking the driver for your system and selecting install. If that doesn't work here is what you do. Turn off your phone, take the battery out, put it back in (if you don't do this it will just show a charging symbol) now plug it in, it should attempt to install the drivers and fail, at this point go to your start button, search programs and files and type device manager, when it comes up select the one with an exclamation point and right click it, select update drivers, point it to the driver folder and then your operating system folder, i.e. vista, windows 7. If the attempt to install does not work download http://narod.ru/disk/57204199001.bb08022cc3658b67af84bc83bd330b0c/20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1.zip.html extract the folder.
<li>Download http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?htx4lkktne1jmzg recovery image and place and replace the recovery in the folder above.
<li>Do not have your phone connected to your computer, open sp flashtool downloaded from Bruno martins guide select scatter-loading on the right select the scatter file in the extracted folder, deselect everything but the recovery i.e. only have recovery selected! Click the download button.
<li>Turn off your phone, remove the battery, put the battery back in plug in your phone, it should now attempt to install drivers, again it will fail, start, search programs and files, device manager, right click the one with the exclamation mark, select update, select driver folder, select your windows version, yes on any warnings, now installed.
<li>NOTE: I recommend never plugging in your phone until you hit the download button and it says searching with sp flashtool. It doesn't react if it's plugged in before then.
<li>O.K. So at this point you should have your drivers installed and recovery as well. Almost there.
So next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/oj1fv2 2 gb internal memmory and 500 mb external. Essentially what this zip does is make your phone have 2 gigs of internal space and 500 mb external instead of 500 mb internal and 2 gigs external, super cool.
Don't do anything yet though.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx This is the ultimate rom I spent some time on for our phones, it's android 4.06 while it's not orriginally mine I fixed a lot of issues and made it much, much, better and pre-rooted with buisy box.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/7yfizd That's right GOOGLE NOW fully working, really cool, works perfect you'll love it!
<li>Now that you have them downloaded put them on your SD card. Here is were people kept telling me if your external doesn't work you can just put it on your internal Sd card. DON”T DO IT! If your external doesn't work you put a smaller one in a 2 gig works nicely, I had a 16 gig and it wouldn't read, had an old 2 gigger laying around and read it just fine. Heres why you don't use the internal, your flashing the internal memmory!! It will mess everything up!
<li>That said, files on the sd card put it in your phone.
<li>Press power while holding the up or + volume, release power continue to hold the volume and you'll eventually go into recovery menu.
<li>Use volume to navigate power to select.
<li>Select wipe data/factory reset, confirm.
<li>Select wipe cache partition, confirm
<li>select advanced, select wipe dalvik cache, confirm.
<li>Now select install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card and select the custom rom file, confirm.
<li>Go back and reboot, let the phone reboot to system, as a side note screen will be moving white, its just the wallpaper. After full boot up let system settle then hold power and select recovery.
<li>Once back in recovery select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select the 2 gig zip, install.
<li>Select choose zip from sd card and select the google now zip and install, now reboot your phone, and love the awesomeness. By the way it's just google in your app dawer or choosable when you select the microphone on your home screen.
FLASHING OTHER ROMS
<li>There are two different types of ROMS you can flash.
<li>Official-These are official builds and releases made for your phone. These will be flashed by using sp flashtool. Now our phones also have unique hadware sometimes different from phone to phone. Chinese are pretty infamous for mixing and matching hardware. That being said you need to have software settings set for your particular hardware. You do this by using a particular software called SP MDT which you can download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d When you download the file run it. Select your scatter file, then select the button with the question marks, select unlock, the first one on the left is for your rear camera, middle is for front and finally right is for your screen setting which most people have trouble with and think they bricked their phone. The only way to truly test this is trial and error, if your screens normal you''ve selected the right screen setting, if your cameras work they are also on the right setting. Now close SP MDT and it auto saves the settings for you and use sp flashtool as normal.
<li>Custom-These are modded and themed developer ROMS, these are installed by flashing from recovery and generally do not effect your screen and camera settings because the do not contain uboot data.
Troubleshooting
<li>Don't flash NVRAM and UBOOT if your phone already works fine with cameras and LCD screen!
<li>My phone will not connect to install drivers- Many methods have been mentioned, but the one that works is-power your phone off, take out the battery wait 5 sec, put battery back in, now plug in your phone to the pc, it should attempt to install drivers and fail, go to start then type in the search box device manager, select it, right click the one with the exclamation mark, choose update. If that doesn't work, run sp flashtool select your scatter file choose what you want to install, select download button, now follow the steps provided above and plug in your phone. Also The cord that you use to pluggin to your computer may be the issue, if it does not transfere files when you plug it in normally then it wont work for the drivers, some of them are charge only I found that out myself when two of mine didn't work.
<li>My sd card can't mount in recovery-Most likely cause SD card is incompatible i.e. too big, use a smaller 2 gig card, do not use internal memmory as others suggest, it can mess things up and I advise against it.
<li>SCREEN PROBLEMS! Psychedelic colors, black, white, gray and others. CAMERA PROBLEMS! No camera, wont focus etc. Etc.... You need two programs spflashtool found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bh81se and SP_MDT found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d You also need an official firmware. Open SP_MDT go to the box that says scatter file, point it to your official firmware scatter file, then click the box with all the question marks, press unlock, the first option is your rear camera, the second option is your front facing camera, the last option is your lcd settings which make it look normal (not phsychedelic and wacky). Now these settings vary from phone to phone so you just have to trial and error them, basically if your screen is right, the seting is right, if your camera works the setting is correct. Now you can close the SP_MDT don't worry it saves your settings for you even though you just close it. Go into SP Flash tool Now you can flash the whole ROM but you don't have too, you only need to select UBOOT it will give you a warning it's perfectly fine, thats all you need to flash to fix your settings, and it wont mess up your current ROM.
Official Roms
<li>Flash With SP Flash tool, Do Not Check UBOOT or NVRAM Unless you have already messed up camera and LCD settings in which case you need to follow the troubleshooting section.

Feel Free to add more, as will I. If you like this thread feel free to thank me if you really like it please DONATE thanks.
NICE
Wow, thanks for putting the time into making a comprehensible thread. Cant wait to get some free time to root my n8000. How's the battery life in the ROM and are there any bugs? will report back if i run into any issues.
Hello
what is the point of having two threads for the same device.?
why did you not just post this there in the correct place?
surly it is much better to have one place to go to for all the answers and to ask, the N8000 thread has developed as the device has
you will just be adding to others confusion
good luck.
If you visit any of the other threads Of different phones they actually contain multiple threads which keep things uncluttered, so that people can find what they need that was my goal with this thread. They don't just contain one huge single thread.

thanks for your work!one question: your rom is good with battery? is it ondemand or performance dispatcher?
Incompatible apps
Thanks for the guide I've now got the 4.0.6 Rom on my phone. one problem, the play store says a lot of apps aren't compatible with my phone. I'm assuming this is because its a 4.0.6 Rom is there anyway to make the play store think you have 4.0.4 so it will let you download them or any other way to download these supposedly incompatible apps?
there is no android 4.0.6 this rom is based on android 4.0.3

Okay I've now tried a 4.0.4 Rom and its still saying loads of apps are not compatible when downloading from google play? These apps worked fine when I was on the stock 4.0.3 Rom.
sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx was 4.0.6 is a moded version of android 4.0.3 the build.prop file has been edited 4.0.6 there is a build.prop file somewhere that lets google play compatible with all apps.

I have tried all of the moded roms from the Russian and Chinese sites where all these roms come from if the dpi is set to anything over than 240 google play most apps are not compatible check your build.prop file /system there will be something like this ro.sf.lcd_density=190 delete it then try google play again if you want a different dpi you need a moded google play apk

This is really important to note. Newer phones have JBL2, and the JBL1 stuff at worst soft-bricks them and at best takes away auto-focus from the camera (still working on this, but seems permanent for now).

Actually the rom was created by alexey arsenev, will work on jbl2 but need to flash with jbl2 boot image.. But autofocus will not function..

I've watched the "noob" video for posting - but not really sure if this is the right place to post. Please don't shout at me
I've watched a few videos about getting "google now" working on ICS - but I have little Android experiece and do not want to break the phone. Has anybody done it successfully on this ? can u point me at a failsafe utube video (or something else) to get this done without my loss of £120GBP ? Thx...

Yes -- it works! I've done it.
I'm sorry that you're not going to find one step-by-step guide for this phone, but all the info is here.
This is a very hard phone to "break" in a permanent sense, but I'd read as much as you could stand before you began to avoid headaches that others have had before you. Between the two threads here, there are 150 or so pages of info. Especially important things to note: Make sure you have the right phone (not quite as easy it sounds) and make sure you note all the current details of your software before you get under the hood.
In order to use Google Now, you'll first need to root your phone and install a custom recovery (if those don't make sense, use the Google to search for an overview).
For our phone, I'd start with the first page of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210
So, the question becomes: Do you have root and a custom recovery?
FWIW, Google Now is interesting but has yet to seem revolutionary to me. Seems like something that will be amazing three or four generations from now.

Hi guys.
I thought it would be to good to open this thread and gather all the info available for the super value series of android tablets PRESTIGIO.....
I have seen many places in the web of people trying to Root PRESTIGIO tablets, ending up to a bricked tablet.
To save you a lot of stress and time, I opened this thread....
Please report your research on this threat.
I will also direct threads with information to this place so we have everything gathered !
I will start first.........................................
I own a PRESTIGIO PMP3270B tablet.
I haven't managed to root mine. I have tried a lot of techniques, everything failed.
One of them screwed my PMP3270B. Now it is "bricked".
The only thing that looked like going well was the backing up of the tablet without rooting.
I could achieve that by following the technique found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
Also there is a tool that may do the Rooting trick if you haven't bricked yours yet.
I found it in a Czech forum, a (google translated) post dedicated to PMP3270B tablet.
The application that may root this tablet is called "Android ICS Root Unlocker 1.0" Developed by GreekDev -11th July 2012
I couldn't apply the "patch" because I have managed to bricked my tablet before that.
Take care
:highfive:
News......
I found Arnova 7h G3 specs are similar to the Prestigio PMP3270B. Logically any ROM will work on both tablets.
Arnova has better community.....
(Admins please remove my 5 minutes wait between posts limit, I am an enthusiast, not spammer!!! )
Thanks:highfive:

Before starting another Prestigio thread, you should've probably use "Search" feature of the forum first.
For instance something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=prestigio
As for the rooting thing... Have you checked your device before rooting if it's rooted already maybe?
I am asking this because on most markets, your device already comes pre-rooted.
Yes guys. I managed to do it.

This is a Zipped file that you will need to unzip.
View attachment rootPMP3270B.zip
Make sure that USB is enabled on your tablet and also USB for debugging option is ticked to ON.
Run CMD as an administrator and then write ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
It is important that you run it from CMD.
At each tablet reboot wait before pressing a key to continue.
Before pressing key to continue enable USB again on your tablet each time it reboots.
If you have problems contact me by quick PM.....
I have also managed to Root another prestigio model.
The Prestigio 7777 GeoVision ICS 4.0.3
There is a trick.
You need to make windows 7 not to see a non installed driver. I achieved it using virtual windows 7 on VMWare. Now I have Genuine rooted Android, with build in Digital TV Tuner and FM tranmitter.
Thanks
(I promised to give you info, and I gave it to you)
Thanks to all who supported me...

Could you please tell us the step for the geovision 7777.I really want to root it
Thanks in advise!
Hi kosta,
I think I have already covered the steps above.
Is it something you don't Understand?

Ok. First of all download the file below (copy and paste in your browser's navigation toolbar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1591923&d=1356478553
Extract the folder with the name "root" to your C: drive so the path becomes like C:\root
Do you have access to Google Play market place? Because you are recommended to download the Titanium Backup ★ root app (but only after rooting procedure is completed) to check if you are successfully rooted and give you the back up facilities that are so important (at least for me).
check your PM for details and tell me what time you are available to Message.
Take care

Ok guys,,,,
I have just rooted my 3rd prestigio android.
The PMP4040 DUAL MultiPhone SmartPhone.....
Loaded with 2 Sims, this Prestigio phone compares well with the high end android ones that cost double its pay price !
Moving from the Dying brand Blackberry and a Blackberry Bold 9700 smart phone that I payed almost 3 times more of what I payed for this new prestigio purchase, is like sky and earth........... Android 4.0 and above got it perfectly right with that Prestigio Value for Money GOLD !!!!
Not to mention that the HeadQuarters of Prestigio run in the, destroyed by Turkish atrocities, island of Cyprus by wonderful Russian CEO's.

install all the updates and in the end run the rk29update.exe again untick all the things there and keep only the kernel ticked and use the kernel i gave you.that match with your 5080 cpro. this time dont push formatta !!!.
Just overwrite the kernel and click aggiorna! !
your device will restart and ta da !!! you have the latest firmware for your Prestigio 5080 C PRO. overclocked and rooted with 1 giga for apps
plus 2x faster than factory's firmware.
i wanna say a big thanx to OMA for the kernel http: //crewrktablets. arctablet. com/
a big thanx to X TEAM for this awesome firmware
and a huge thanx to my self that i had the patience to search for the specific model what to do. It took me about 2 days to gather all the informations i needed.
And a huge apologize to oma that i didnt use his JB version for the prestigio tablet but i test it and it was kinda slow and laggy for my tablet xD
ps: in case that u need more info i ll be around to help you
Remember the steps are only for Prestigio PMP 5080 C PRO and NOT for the Prestigio 5080B.
For the Prestigio 5080B you must find the specific Kernel that works on the device cause elsewhere you will have problem with the ROTATION

Ok. First of all download the file below (copy and paste in your browser's navigation toolbar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1591923&d=1356478553
Extract the folder with the name "root" to your C: drive so the path becomes like C:\root
Do you have access to Google Play market place? Because you are recommended to download the Titanium Backup ★ root app (but only after rooting procedure is completed) to check if you are successfully rooted and give you the back up facilities that are so important (at least for me).
check your PM for details and tell me what time you are available to Message.
Take care

To come back to your problem
Yesterday I got exactly the same problem with the GV7777.
Nothing will bring the Google Store back....
My other 4 prestigio devices work perfectly...
This is strange with the GV7777.
.
I guess they have seen your GV7777 and My GV7777 performing "intense" activities from same town and blocked its ID.
I will let you know as soon as I get an answer from google.
I suspect it is not the device..... The problem comes from google servers and firewalls...
I have contacted the Support team at google to give me a solution to this...
I suspect it will "fix itself" at a certain point.....
I will let you know as soon as I get an answer from google.
Now I am trying to install the New Jelly Bean 4.2 on the Prestigios... I will let you know if I ever manage it ....

i hope google could fix it because i thought it was a problem with the device and i have done a factory reset(it happend with my mobile a long time a ago and the factory reset solved the problem.Also more people have this problem with their prestigious device(you can see them in the prestigio facebook page)
I have quite a lot of questions regarding my rooted Lenovo A850 since I googled it and found no answer so I need answers from all of you professional devs.
Briefly, I bought the phone (stock non-root) at my country at a very cheap price (RM320 if not mistaken, equivalent to $97 since it's an offer) and when I first boot up my phone, I mostly saw chinese apps (including the dialpad app). So I didn't really care about that at first.
Then I faced storage problem, at that time I don't know the cause so I just moved on, till the day that I cannot install any games in it.
At that time, I don't know what fills system storage, maybe WhatsApps media, maybe pre-loaded apps.
So at this time these questions poped up my head (you can answer this Q's):
1. Why are some of this system apps are unpractical (really, it's no use having them)?
2. Why Shen Ma Game ( Google it if you don't know) appeared as an undeletable GAME (it's a GAME, yet rated system app, neither uninstall nor disable work), I mean why that useless game rated as system app?
3. Players Tutorial is not working, ANR popped up when try to launch. Is there a way to fix that?
After probs and probs I resorted to root................ aaaaaaaand softbricked (lol my fault) and recovered.
After phone is repaired, I noticed something odd. The serviceman said to me that I actually rooted my phone successfully, with his face seems shocked (like I'm the only one can do that). It is because my phone is an AP set (made by manufacturer other than Lenovo itself) and theoretically impossible to mod that type of phone.
BUT I DID IT.
Oh back to odd thing, anybody know this type of Superuser?

It's also chinese in stock, but thankfully I can change the language with help from somebody.
With that said I have a happy time MODDING my phone.
List of Xposed mods:
Fonter
GravityBox
Greenify
HKThemeManager (i have a Q about this)
Holo Themer (this also)
Phab7
Smooth System ProgressBars
XBlast
XuiMod
Youtube AdAway
My questions about these are:
1. HKThemeManager doesn't seem to detect themes I downloaded (CM10 theme)
2. After applying Holo Themer, that circle loading anim doesn't show up, even the stock anim is not showing up
3. Is it safe to change my bootup screen? [if not i'll change it back to stock right away]
4. How to theme my stock rom, safely, entirely including Settings, dialpad app, drag-down menu and more?
Then another odd thing I notice, my stock rom is not ROW. (see pic)
You know what, I have a strong feel that this is CN rom , not ROW(it's because I previously tried to install TWRP ROW in it and the recovery is not booting up), and my rom is S203 (what is that?).
The build number is also strange, it shows [probably] the source of the rom came. So I kinda locked to stock rite now and still looking for ways to further mod my device
Kindly please answer my Q's and some recommendations about modding
Thanks!

Make a nandroid backup, and then follow an Lenovo a850 flash tutorial to flash a new ROW ROM.

There are ways to install apps in your SD. Look it up.

The man behind your ROM though they will be practically or he didn't want you to delete them.

The app was installed as a system app. It doesn't matter if it is a game. You can uninstall it with a Root Uninstaller from the store.

Have you seen a lot of people from your social cycle having a rooted device? None of my friends have a rooted phone. I will also be surprised knowing that one of my friends rooted its phone.

Chinese devs have developed a lot of "unknown" for the rest world Superuser apps,. If you have no problems with it leave it as it is, else search how to replace a Superuser app. I believe that the best superuser app right now is SuperSU.

Since your ROM is full Chinese, it must be CN. It is not odd not to write it on the firmware.

Official lenovo apps has a version number (ex. s121, s123, s203) and this numbers shows on which official firmware your custom ROM is based on.
Multi quote eh? I did the same, now eyes down to what I write (lol)

Some of my schoolmates are techies (the one having jailbreaked iPhone 5c, another having an unknown brand of phone (srsly, i never seen it anywhere around) that can boot multiple ROMs in one phone and some more) so seeing modded phone is a routine for me, but if we're talking about an AP set phone, it's rare actually cuz very few had any trust on AP set phones (state-of-the-art the experience sucked) and modding it? You're likely falling into a trap.

I am completely fine with that type of Superuser cause' it's MUCH MUCH simpler to use though. The UI is super straightforward and doesn't nag too much.

mm...ok
But honestly, I do not want to be the first person to flash recovery on CN rom, I want to hear thoughts from somebody had done it so if you or anybody, can get the AP set of Lenovo A850 with such baseband ver. or that exact ROM, try flashing custom recovery on it and tell me how it performs? Is it safe to do? via USB or Mobileuncle?
ONE THING, I DO NOT WANT MY PHONE TO EXPERIENCE BOOTLOOP, BRICK OR SUCH CRAP, CUZ I DO NOT WANT TO INVEST ON REFLASHING IT AGAIN, BOU AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO DO MORE ON MY PHONE, SAFELY...
