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

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.

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.

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

Clicking the link at the top of his post will take you to his site where there is a nice walkthrough.
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.

Ubuntu Installer for Android
Was wondering if this cheap dual core tab could handle Ubuntu and used the app from following link to install an older version of Ubuntu
http://www.mediafire.com/?5ru3tzddteciahd
Process is very simple and the app gives a detailed walk through. Am in the process of upgrading the versions now
Kudos and all credits to the original devs because I saw it on a site that did not name them.
For newer version of the install app visit the linux on android website:

Yes, installed the version 1.2 a few days ago. Installation worked, no problem at all. Just follow the instructions in the readme file.
- Use the recovery.img form the 1.1 version zip.
- One more thing, the deleting (cant remember the correct name) did not count to 16384 as in the manual. It finishes at 4096. Had contact with the author and he agreed, the readme is not exact in this case.
Now, with the new image, I have full root, all Chinese apps are removed and all works really well.
Hope this helps

So far, if you want multi user you have to do it manually.
Check what the script does and the you have to copy your current user to the new user folder as the apk to create user is not there.
/system/data/users
./0 == Current User
./10 == New User (could be any number)

I can recommend www.pipomall.com. 1st bought a M8PRO from them and then a M6 and really great service with honest advice via online chat on their site. Got great deals as well and shipping via DHL was like 5 days from Hong Kong to New Zealand.
Both are great tablets - If you're keen on using it mostly for gaming you may have more issues with the M6 and game compatibility due to its high resolution - its no fault of the Pipo but the game devs still catering for the more popular resolutions.
Good value for money these little beauties

Any chance to have a custom recovery such CWM or TWRP?
Anyone does know if are already out?
Thanks

What do you mean by check what the script does, which script?
Found the user dirs and can copy them, but i could find no script or anything resembling in my searches.
Really would like to add multi user support.
20-07 - I found something:
Add:
fw.max_users=5
to build.prop, then rebooting, enables the feature. This allows up to 5 users, change the number as desired.
This did actually add user section into settings menu and allowed to add user. However when log in with second user it hangs on com.android.provision.DefaultActivity. Original user still works fine.
I'll keep searching

[Q] Acer Liquid S1

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604

Hope there will be some dev around this phone too

Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this

Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Hi spanner44, that tool failed to root the S1

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.

Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510

Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.

The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)
Check out our French Forum : http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=9323
@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr

Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!

Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

Recovery/Twrp/CWM/ for galaxy tab 4 8.0 (t330nu)

Hi i have recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and am looking into building a Deodex Rom for the device.
The issue is i have not been able to find anywhere on the forum a custom recovery of any kind for this device. I have tried a few versions for other devices such as the Tab3 8.0 and Tab4 7.0 but each time i could not boot into recovery, brought me back to download mode.
My main question and concern is lack of support for this device and i would like to start contributing.
Is there a CWM or TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330NU)?
If not how can we get one started?
Really want to finish making my custom rom, have all my files Deodexed and ready to go.
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 22:
Source file has been found for this device. If we work together we should be able to FINALLY get a recovery for the Tab 4 8.0 T330nu. If anyone has any useful information or resources to help along the way please feel free to contribute.
SOURCE FOR GALAXY TAB 4 8.0 T330NU (DOWNLOAD USING GOOGLE CHROME ONLY)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T330nu
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 23:
Recovery should be in the making for the T330NU variant plus 2 or 3 other variants all in due time so please be patient and let us all work together.
Custom Roms could be on the new horizon to fallow you never know ?
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 26:
Boot.img and recovery.img files dumped from Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.
Boot.img dumped from device T330NU:

Recovery.img dumped from device T330NU:

I was under the assumption that the source files come from open source.Samsung.com, of which all three Tab4 models are represented

Seeing as how our tablet has the Snapdragon 400 chipset, same as in some popular Motorola phones and the like, there is pre-existing development that could benefit us, not to mention the relative ease of Qualcomm developing.
Soon...

I'm just wondering tho it's a bit off topic but only for a brief moment. I have deodexed files I want to replace from the stock Samsung Rom.
My question is do you know any good programs for extracting and recompiling a stock Rom for recovery install after I have modded and replaced files?
Would prefer to compile the Rom on the computer and have the option to make changes and compile a Rom on the phone/tablet itself. As I said I know this is slightly off topic from the recovery but on the other hand after recovery comes the roms and tweaks. I have a file on standby to deodex stock Rom for t330nu.i have been doing research on programs and ways to do it just figured could get a quick tip or flash of insight.

Discovered "Tickle My Android" should help for the most part

Just want to check in. Still nothing for us yet. I don't want to push the guys since they are doing this purely as favors since they don't have the devices. I am keeping in touch with them however. Also I pmd @Dees_Troy but haven't heard back there either. One of my buddy's is a friend of his and said he usually won't make a recovery for a device he doesn't have but if a recovery is made and proven working, he will make it official which means more support.

Greatly appreciated, I'm just trying to spread the word and maybe find some more developers willing to help also. Does not hurt to ask right.

Root Nexus 6 (Very Simple, Requires Windows PC)

The Nexus 6 and Lollipop in general isn't exactly easy to root. Thanks to the new tool I've made, you can root it, install busybox, and for the more advanced users, install TWRP on your Nexus 6. Just download the file below, decompress it, and open root-n6.bat to start the rooting process!

That will be great. And if possible and you do have time, maybe you can consider to provide support for other more devices from SAMSUNG, SONY, HTC and others because I believe the demand for rooting Android L ROM will become more and more strong, and if you can setup a guid for those people, I believe this thread will become very popular. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestions!
