hi guys....
quick question... i have a star note a9220... a generic android 4.0 phone... and everytime i set a ringtone from one of the sd cards whenever i access the cards from my pc or just use it to charge my phone it returns everything to default... is there a way to access the root directory so that I can add some better ringtones to the default list??? i dont really want to start messing about with the os... do i need to root it or can i use an app?

To access the root directory or system files, your phone needs to be rooted. I don't think there is any better way than that.

You can use SuperOneClick to root your device temporarily. The root access survives until reboot. After that your device would become normal. Do this and push your ringtones to relevant location using Root Explorer. Then, reboot.
is there a version of super one click that supports android 4?
otherwise any idea's how to root it while keeping 4.0?
plus any idea's how to install and run stuff from the external card? the way it's set up is 512mb as system 2gb in sd and 16gb "usb" which is my external card... 2gb just isnt enough...
Thanks peeps

Rooting doesnt change your android version
It will still be 4.0 after rooting
1 - Just root with superone click
get a free explorer which can access root directories
copy your desired Ringtones and paste them into media/rindtone folder (or where every you rom stores the ringtone)
2 - go to setting, then developement and check Install from unknown sources tick box
then use a Explorer, find the apk files downloaded from internet and install by clicking
3 - 2 GB is more then enough for about 500 apps
i think you'll be good to go for about some time until its become low
that wasn't it...
the "latest" version of super one click from the official site tries to root 2.2/2.3... that's what it says... which was why I was asking if there's a version for 4.0...
and the 2gb thing.... I listen to various podcasts etc and I can't seem to download them onto the 16gb card... it doesn't like it... but that's beside the point...
I have a few apps which came installed natively like docs to go, and fm radio etc which I would like to remove...
I might as well full root it and try to get a blank 4.0 rom.... just need to try to remember how to do it! :s
not sure which 9220 copy you have, just check on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646544 it has links to other 9220 copies, then find the yours
as I know, the simple way to check is your rom model number to ensure the right rom, patches... to flash
Rooting and installing Google Play on the Proscan PLT7035-PL ** UPDATED **
*** Disclaimer ***
I am not responsible for bricked tablets, voided warranties, crashed computers and/or global thermonuclear war! This is what worked for me if you are unsure of anything in the following steps STOP NOW! There is no factory rom released for this tablet. If you brick it your possibly stuck until if and when they release an update!
These instructions assume you are competent to do the folling: get files on and off of your device using the mass storage driver, able to edit and understand changes to inf files, use command prompt, edit system user files and have enough patence to read all of the steps without skipping any. There are a few gotcha's that if are skipped will leave you pulling your hair out. Also these instructions are written for Windows. If your using Linux you shouldn't need my help anyways ..

This tutorial may also work on other Chinese generic tablets. You would only need get the hardware vendor and product ID's from the device info for step 2. For the purpose of this post I wont be getting into that but the information is out there.. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND
Introduction
Its likely if you are reading you have recently visited Big Lots and scored a $69 7" tablet. Only to get home and find virtually NO information on rooting it or installing Google Play or GAPPs. I know I was in that boat but after a few hours of messing around I got it. I am writing this to hopefully help the hundreds of others I see out there asking for help on this.
Step 1 Download Stuff (Things to round up before you even think about starting)
Root with Restore by Bin4ry v15 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 .** UPDATE ** I attached the version I used to this post
ADB Drivers - You have several options here, milage may very.** UPDATE ** I attached USB drivers to this post. I had to seperate the 64 and 32 bit drivers to get the files under the 8 mb limit for uploads
install android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r21-windows.zip and follow instructions to get the google usb drivers. Search XDA there are several guides, I couldn't find the one I used as of writing this article but there are many out there.
Search google and find a zip with just the ADB drivers.
Download Super One Click Root and use the drivers in the tools directory of the zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Root Explorer - quick way to move and remount file systems rw with ease. I used v2.13.1. Google around and find an APK to install, just be careful there is another completely differnent package out there called "rooted explorer" it may work but I have not tried it. ** UPDATE ** I attached the version I used to this post
Google Apps for ICS - gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip is what I used from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip ** Update ** I replaced the URL with a direct download link from goo.im enjoy!
**NOTE** SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT WILL NOT ROOT YOUR TABLET SO DON'T BOTHER TRYING!
Step 2 install and configure your ADB USB Drivers (Let the fun begin)
Extract your zip file containing the ADB USB drivers or Install the Android SDK and follow instructions on how to use the SDK manager to download the lastest drivers from google.
Once downloaded edit the inf file (usually named android_winusb.inf)
Add the following under the [Google.NTx86] heading and again under the [Google.NTamd64] heading: (one is for 32bit systems and the other is for 64 bit Systems)
Code:
;ProScan plt-7035
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
After saving and exiting. Turn on USB Debugging on your tablet. It is under Settings => Developer Options and is the first option at the top make sure it has a check in the checkbox. Exit the developer screen by pressing back or the home key and plug in your tablet to a usb port on your computer using a micro-USB cable.
Device detection should at this point detect a few devices but at least 1 will fail without drivers. Possibly more on XP systems..
Under Device Manager => Other Devices you should have a device called "PLT7035-PL" use the usb drivers modifed above to install the ADB USB Drivers.
*** Important Note ***
At this point even with the ADB Driver installed ADB will not see the tablet. We have to create or edit the file c:\users\whatever your username is\.android\adb_usb.ini
If you have already run ADB at any time on your system the file and directory should already exist. If not you will need to create the directory and the file.
on a single line simply add this to a blank line in the file and save and exit:
0x2207
This tells ADB to look for that vendor code. (if you allready have ADB on your computer 'adb devices' should now show your tablet.
** UPDATE ** This is still necessary even if using the drivers attached to this post!

Step 3 Root your Tablet!
*** Warning ***
I almost bricked my tablet on this step due to an error with a faulty PlayStore I had tried to install just using the APK. It kept the tablet from rebooting properly during the root process! I recommend erasing all user data before continuing YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract Root with Restore by Bin4ry v15 to the directory of your choosing.
From explorer on your pc double click the RunMe.bat and select option one.
This particular root uses the system restore function to gain root access. If everything goes right you should get a prompt on the table to restore an image.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press restore ON THE TABLET without entering a password or changing anything else and after a minute or two (maybe more) it should reboot.. Do some more stuff then reboot one more time and you should now have a rooted tablet.
Step 4 Copy root explorer and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip to the internal storage of the tablet.
Make sure the tablet is plugged into your computer and turn On USB Storage.
Copy rootexplorer.apk and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip to the Downloads folder via windows explorer and the removeable drive from the tablet.
Step 5 Install root explorer
ON THE TABLET: to applications => explorer => Internal memory => Download => rootexplorer.apk
This should bring up the apk installer and ask for permission to install rootexplorer. Follow the prompts until rootexplorer is installed.
Open root explorer. The first time you open it if everything is right you should get a prompt from SU to allow root access, hit grant. After that you might get a message that you need to close and reopen root explorer again, this is completely normal.
Step 6 Remount File Systems r/w
Once root explorer is open and has root access you should be in the root directory of the device.At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/o" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/w".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount / as rw.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/w" and the button should change to "mount as r/o"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Scroll to the system folder and open it.
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/o" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/w".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount /system as rw.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/w" and the button should change to "mount as r/o"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now click on the ../ Parent Folder icon on the top to go back to the root directory,
Step 7 Extract GAPPS
Scroll to and tap sdcard
Scroll to and tap Download
You should see the google apps file we copied earlier.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tap and hold on gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip until the menu comes up and select "extract all" this will extract the zip file to /sdcard/extracted/gapps-ics-20120429-signed/
Step 8 Copy Google APPS to /system
Scroll to and TAP .. Parent folder at the top to go back a directory to /sdcard/
Scroll to and TAP extracted
Scroll to and TAP gapps-ics-20120429-signed
You should see 5 items, install-optional.sh, META-INF, optional, system and the ../ Parent Folder link.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*** WARNING *** Do not click on the install-optional.sh bad things might happen!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TAP and hold on the system folder until the menu comes up and select copy.
This will place a paste button on the bottom of the screen be careful not to hit it yet or you will have problems.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TAP ../ Parent Folder until the directory at the top says / (you should have to go back 2 or 3 folders)
You should now see a bunch of folders in the root directory as well as the tablets system folder. There should NOT be a ".. Parent folder" visible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now hit the paste button on the bottom left. You should get a warning massage saying "system already exist. Do you want to overwrite it?" hit yes
The file copy takes 1 to 2 minutes when it is done all that is left is to remount the / and /system folders r/o and reboot the tablet
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 9 Remount file systems r/o
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/w" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/o".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount / as ro.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/o" and the button should change to "mount as r/w"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Scroll to and TAP system
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/w" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/o".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount /system as ro.
click the back icon on the bottom left until you have exited root explorer.
Press the power button on the top of the tablet and turn it off and back on.
If everything went right you should now have a fully functioning rooted tablet with Google Playstore...

WASN'T THAT FUN!!?!?!
Ive tried this several times. It hasn't worked yet. Maybe I am doing it wrong, not sure. Ill keep trying but I am losing hope.
I am trying with a Proscan PLT7035-PL
worked ... Many thanks to amjtech ...
Here's how to do it:
Install Android SDK, then install Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools, Google USB Driver (download from google)
Install PdaNet for Android on PC.
Attach Proscan pad, check Settings->Developer options->USB debugging to on
XP install adb driver - if unsuccessful, need modify registry
regedit under HKLM/SYSTEM Permissions -> Advance, check replace permission entries on all child
(http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/252428-45-installation-failed-access-denied)
Install USBDeview, run to see usb device attached, get device ID of PROSCAN pad (0x2207)
Add device ID to file adb_usb.ini in c:\docume~1\<user>\.android, also add google's id:
0x2207
0x18d1
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479311)
(http://androidforums.com/kindle-fir...k-how-get-adb-running-root-superoneclick.html)
Now device will show running
Install ICS Root Unlocker 1.0, run ... got rooted.
Download Root Explorer (2.21.1).apk, Google Play Store (3.8.16).apk, and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip from 4shared

Unfortunately as stated above there is no factory rom available for these tablets yet... I am looking into using rkflash or rkflashtool to download my rom prerooted so I have a backup and also can post a rooted rom for everyone. Most likely later this week I should have some time to figure out the rkflashtool and get it dumped.
I will post it here once it is done.
I'm going to say this now. I have a very busy schedule so I cannot guarantee when I will get this accomplished.
Also if this works for you please hit the thanks button.

Confused as heck !!
OK, I am confused as heck here. I have the SDK installed. I have the USB Drivers installed. The PC sees the phone just fine, I can browse the internal storage and the external sd card with no problem. Windows XP Device Manager shows Android Phone, and under that the Android Composite ADB Interface.
PDANet works with the phone, no problem. However, adb devices never shows the device, and the Root program cannot find it either. At this point, I'm stumped. Any ideas what I need to do? I have put the android_usb.ini file in c:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Android with the necessary hex codes for the device and for Google. I'm going nuts here!
I know ADB is installed properly, because I can plug my phone into the PC and run adb devices, and it's detected just fine. It's just this tablet it can't find.
FIX: Not as obvious as it might have been, but here is the solution to my problem. I used the Search function to find the adb_usb.inf file - umm... it's in .android, not android. Once I added those ids, everything was fine.
No Market?
Achieved root, copied over the system folder from the zip, but no market. Did I miss something?
What about Recovery?
Just wondering if there is a recovery option as yet? That would be so helpful!

Yeah, this happened to me too. And for some reason, when you go to the \system folder and look in apps there is another apps folder in there. I think there is something really odd going on with root manager possibly. I don't know what the deal is, but none of the Google Apps are running.
I've tried several older 4.0.x versions of GAPPS, and I will be danged if I can get any of them to work. I'm rooted OK, but that's all that worked thus far.
Good instructions! But failure... and then success
The instructions were great above! The pointer to the version of google play was bad, but I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934441 and after using Root explorer to do the appropriate permissions at / and /system, and on the renamed file, it works!
---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------
Now that I got Google Play to work...
I am having an odd problem however - the installation of apps stalls at 0% for about 30 seconds, and then continues. And as the percentage is updated, I see app screens cycling. And little google play shopping bags start to stack up in my "task tray" area of the tablet.
Does anybody else have that problem? It's very annoying! It seems like the downloaded apps not only install but open, eating up precious memory.
Speaking of which, how is the flash memory used? (4 GB), and not having apps take up the 500 MB that's available?

It is 4GB shared. I haven't tried looking at the partition table.
There is only 2GB usable, it's on the TF card, I moved the apps there.
Not sure how to access the SD card to put apps there.

My GAPPS are working fine. I thought about killing that /system/system folder and manually placing the files via adb.
Try checking the permissions too, I think they need to be 644 or better.
I've put the Tablet away for now, I will tinker again later probably.

How do you move your apps there? I'm aware of the app called something like app2SD, but the TF card isn't an SD card.

You have to extract the zip file, remount the file systems as rw and copy the /system folder from the zip into the / of the device so that all the files goto their proper places... if you have /system/system it was not copied correctly...
as far as those not getting ADB to reconize the tablet.. a) make sure you have usb debugging turned on and b) you put the hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file.. See the ** important note ** in Step 2!
Unzipping Files
I have read and followed your directions to download the files, but, my unit keeps saying it can not open any zip files.
Do you have any idea why it may say this or how to get around this problem so I can continue as instructed?
unzip on your computer and transfer over, or use root explorer

You can unzip them on your computer and then transfer them over, or use root explorer on your tablet. You'll have to hold your finger on the .zip file for a few seconds and then the unzip option pops up.
Well, everyone be careful! When my Google Play would not install properly, I tried to clean the tablet up, ie, put it back to its original condition. Somehow, I managed to cause something to crash, and from then on, the tablet won't boot past the Android startup screen, although I can adb into it and it is still rooted, etc. What I've got now is a project tablet - HOW TO UNBRICK THE BRICK.

I noticed before I hit yes it said do you want to merge and copy the files over not do you want to overwrite it but I still hit yes bad idea. can anybody tell me why I said merge and copy. well this is the second one I have bricks follow the steps perfect got all the way to the end and this is what happens so I took the first 1 back guess I'm going to take a second back also and try again until i figure out what I'm doing wrong.has anybody maked a rkimage or a .zip. update that will work to re cover this thing. I would be willing to try it out for you because I can.

try doing an ADB shell
then the following commands
su
wipe data
this will reset the user partition. I had something similar happen on mine.. BTW 'wipe all' will definitly brick your tablet so be carefull
If you still cannot get it I was almost in a car accident yesterday and my tablet went flying and broke the screen... If you confident with a soldering iron I now have a plt-7035 mainboard prerooted and playstore installed for sale for $25 including shipping.. it would involve soldering 6 wire and the wifi antenna if your up to it pm me,, I know its good as I was able to ADB into it and run su and wipe data to reset it..

Hello,
I have a Gt-I9105P and am interesting from few times about Root, Rom....
I did the root and installed Spirit Rom 4.4.4, version 1.6 and everything seems OK. Faster, battery life better....
but I have 2 problems, not importants but disturbing :
1) How can I have set my SD card as storage by default when I do some pictures ?
2) I cannot "cut" my files from device storage/SD card to SD card /device storage...I have to connect my phone to pc and do it on....
Someone can help me please to set my phone ?
Thanks a lot
Corse62
ps: I am not english so sorry for eventuals mistakes.
Can't remember what camera application the Spirit ROM has, but if you can't find in it's settings to make the save on your sdcard, download another camera application from Google Play Store that has this option, or installing xposed installer and a mod for it called Picture2SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053) .
Here is the Thread of this Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-pictures2sd-v1-0-6-makes-camera-t2408880
Conclusion: is not a ROM related issue.
As for moving files from internal to external storage, you have to be sure that you rooted your phone and have a working superuser. You can use this application to see if you have the phone rooted:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
To do the moving (cutting) use a file manager such as this ones:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
If you grant them root permmision, it should be no problem (as long as the files you want to move are not system files).
Our device has a complete guide about rooting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303395
I wish you all the best.
Yes my phone is root. Thanks for you help, it works :good: .

I got this alcatel a564c from tracfone and wondered if anyone has rooted this phone? I have seen some old threads asking about it but not much about developing.
I have tried kingo root and I am trying others but other posts have said none work. The last one in November.
I am interested in any info on finding an exploit that I could test out. I dont have experience developing a root but I could learn.
Thanks!
Try the framaroot application. That application works for many devices. My Alcatel got rooted too

Using x-plore file manager you can download movies and what not to sd card. I have this phone and have downloaded numerous movies and software directly to sd card. Something about backdooring kitkat, this may or may not help with rooting but it does help to eliminate the 4gig headache.
I have set all the download locations to my 16gb sd card. But installed apps use only the 4gb provided. I have a tendency to fill that. There are also some issues with the default apps setting getting reset. And I can not use google voice over wifi without a cell connection.

Using x-plore file manager you can download movies and what not to sd card. I have this phone and have downloaded numerous movies and software directly to sd card. Something about backdooring kitkat, this may or may not help with rooting but it does help to eliminate the 4gig headache.

Thanks for info about x-plore file manager sending movies and other files to SD card.
I noticed it shows root files is my phone rooted from this app download?

No, seeing the root of the SD card does not mean that you have root access to Android itself

I got this alcatel a564c from tracfone and wondered if anyone has rooted this phone? I have seen some old threads asking about it but not much about developing.
I have tried kingo root and I am trying others but other posts have said none work. The last one in November.
I am interested in any info on finding an exploit that I could test out. I dont have experience developing a root but I could learn.
Thanks!

It's crazy that as long as this phone has been out......there's still no root for it. It's a shame that Google decided to "fix" the security issues that most of us never even knew existed by limiting what we can use as default app storage with no way to bypass the restriction unless you have root access. Hopefully someone comes up with the solution soon or I'll be thinking of exchanging my Alcatel A564C for something I can actually use.
Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :
Model
Modem
Core build ...
The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot
Regards.

Have U read my last reply ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59071633&postcount=11
The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.
KK SDCard fix

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...
Enjoy.

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
