The company I work for has received some Dell Aero's for eval. We mostly have iPhones and WM devices deployed. I have been playing with the Aero. Interesting device. Has anyone been able to get side loading done on the Aero? Also there is not toggle 2G/3G option so I cant force it to 2G.
While the phone has it's issues I would like to get some other apps loaded on it.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
ROM Or update
Hello guys
would somebody tell me a thing about this device (it may be a little thing indeed):
dell aero V01B from At&t. Cant find nothing about this device. It´s not even listed in dell web on line support. Neither at&t´s. Da***d!
I appreciate n reply.

Finally I'm not alone to trying upgrade
let's roasted this phone to the oven
first I'm newer in here and Linux or Android environment
but I'll try to share what I found from googling activity
1. Root

I've tried using SuperOneClick but stuck on process. Maybe not supported for Android 1.5

Items such as google apps were _not_ deliberately removed: they actually were never included. Those missing apps are not freely available and depend on agreements with Google to be added to any distro. That agreement never happened, possibly were never attempted.
2. Flashing
-----------
FYI, firmware flasing for Dell Aero is Marvell (CPU) but I don't know why there is Tavor mention when recognize session the Phone with PC (Firmware Flashing tools)
Before instalation the phone should in flash mode :
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold all Button [Power + Back + Volume up/down + Menu + Camera]
- Flash mode came with Green Screen and some statement from Developer (c) Copyright 2008 Borqs Ltd.

Any updates on this? bitung did a great job here. I know its an old phone but I have one just sitting around I'd love to tinker with or turn into something to play emulators on/as a gmote.
You realy did a good job for this. My friend has one Dell Aero and he would like to upgrade to 2.x.
I did try my best to hack it but currently I still hasn't finished completely. This device could ROOTED by SupperOneClick easily. I also obtained the source code from DELL open source with release 2.1and built them sucessfully. But I wasn't able to find a good way to produce a ROM image like HTC etc as the flasher to be used for this device is different. I did try the TAVOR platform flasher that you provided but it didn't work. From the "flash mode" screen, we could see the bootloader provider is "Borqs", so I used firebolt instead. I found the firebolt is definitely a correct flasher for this device but it reconginized mff ROM file formate. As the Dell Mini i3 from China is similar with this device, so I try to download a "DELL_MINI3I_OMS1.5.ophone8_E034.mff" to flash it. But the firebolt seems block as some "IMEIBinding..." message. So I think we did need a original ROM from Dell to initial the workk first.
Because after I shell to the device with ROOT, I found it didn't have recover partition like other common device, so a original ROM would be very helpful when error occurred to restore back. The way I could try only now is manually install the 2.1 that I built with adb shell. But it would be easy to brocken.
sideloading still an issue
Hello all
I rooted my device form this other post on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-643868.html
I even pulled the settings.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and changed the install_non_market_apps to 1 but when i try to install an .apk file the security block still pops up. I dont know where else they have enabled the block.
I can install apps from the computer through adb, but I would like to install apps on the go without the need for a computer.
Thanks a bunch

hey hi there alan, I'm gurwinder. i'm frm india. here in india online shopping websites have lured us for buying dell aero at very cheap prices, i think lot of people have bought it online. but now all of them are facing lots of problems this phone has.
1.first of all this phone has locked access to everything we can download limited apps from Google market...yes android market because its not updated version, have 1.5 cupcake version and it doesn't allow system to be update...there is no option to download update to operating system in mobile. it so it doesn't allow any root app like z4root or superoneclick to be downloaded from android market...neither we can download it on desktop and transfer it to phone...it is no use because such is not allowed to be installed in phone..
2. we seriously want to upgrade the android operating system but cant do it..
3. there is a urgent to need to root this phone because we have very limited access to rights.... it is like we are provided with a desktop with a guest account....so at&t and google have every admin rights to this phone
so i thought going online and asking for help form you guys....you guys are expert and i know you will surely help us
thanks...

Dell Aero 2.1 Factory Update
I am Not responsible for bricked devices , dead SD cards, Thermo nuclear war , dead pixels or breaking your WARRANTY . Read only if know what you are doing . It can easily make your smartphone a smart paperweight.
Dell Aero a great phone with android cupcake now can be updated to 2.1 eclair .
1. Works only on windows xp so either use a windows xp PC or run virtual xp mode on windows 7 . ( Google Virtual Xp mode for windows 7 )
2. Download and install Firebolt. (http://www.mediafire.com/?f45haso0nklvfxf)
3. Enter flash mode on dell aero by pressing all buttons and holding . Power button should be held in the end . Phone should be powered off while holding button combo.
4. Connect phone via USB cable to the PC . Open device manager search for unknown device TAVOR . Update its drivers by searching the folder C(local disk):\program files\borqs\firebolt\drivers\usbdrivers\ or where you installed the files. Once done you should see an USB device named MTK bootloader in device manager.
5. Download firmware and extract it . (http://www.mediafire.com/?26b744sedds2yu4)
6. Switch off phone take out the battery.And open Firebolt and set it to look like this.
7. Press the button in red circle and select the extracted firmware file(.mff).
8. Connect the phone WITHOUT battery via USB cable to the PC.
9. Press flash(black rectangle) and insert battery together .
10. If the phone powers on in flash mode ( Green Screen with Flash Mode written on it ) let the software flash the phone. Elif try the step again.
( This method doesn't give usb error like the engineer method in which you turn the phone on flash mode first and then flash it . )
( If error occurs or flashing doesn't start try reinstalling the drivers or get the drivers signed)

z4root is not in the market for a long long time check google, and also check "install from unknown sources" in android settings

Ok I've got a generic tablet from Walmart, the DOPO MD-740. It's running ICS 4.0.3. I've been in contact with customer service about this thing, and while they're friendly and courteous, they really don't know anything about their product. According to their lead tech "there is no recovery or download mode".
Headache.
Well fooling around with this device, I've found.... SOMETHING....
While holding the volume up button at the same time as the power button, it boots straight to one single image, shown below. I have a feeling it's the download mode. Whatever it is, it's progress. Can anyone recognize what I got into? It's not a fatal error-- when I hit the reset button and reboot the tablet normally, all is fine.
I've tried to reboot into recovery via adb but I get the message that the command is not allowed. And of course, su is not allowed either.
Anyone have any suggestions on running adb on my computer... what process I would need to follow to manually root an ICS tablet? Would I just follow the same steps as I would in manually rooting a gingerbread device, or is there different lines of code I would need to use for ICS?
As for what device the kernel for THIS device has been ported from (it's obviously emulating something that has a magnometer which this unit doesn't have, etc...)... tech support doesn't know that either. The only clue I have that MIGHT help (other than the kernel version, build number, etc... all this is documented in another post, if anyone cares to take a look) is the FIRST boot image is of the penguin.
I would appreciate ANY feedback/information/advice anyone could offer in progressing with this "adventure"!
Thanks
Well with another twenty minutes of blindly pressing buttons I've found the recovery mode. From the screen displaying the android with the open panel (which I have concluded is NOT the download mode), pressing volume up, back, and power at the same time opens the recovery mode. The recovery is:
Android system recovery <3e>
Recovery system v4.00
No option to apply zip from sd, I guess this is to be expected on a stock device.
hi
in application select usb debug mode
install from unknown sources
connect to pc and run DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT
should work
regards
fred
didn't work.
After adb started successfully, sat for two hours and did nothing.
hi
are you using windows ?
is it reconized by windows ? do you have the drivers installed ?
ich processor use that tablet ?
Yeah I'm running Windows Vista, and my PC does recognize the device when it's connected (says drivers have been installed properly when connected under USB debugging mode, no problem transferring files in USB mode)
It's the ARMv7 processor
The device is recognized as Full ASOP on Rk29sdk
I've run across a new problem, which might actually be the main issue of the WHOLE problem. I was trying to push some files with adb from my laptop and it came to my attention that the driver for my device only acknowledges it as a mass storage device, even when the tablet is NOT mounted for mass storage. SOOOO... I guess I need a driver that will allow me to use adb. Any suggestions?
did you try with the drivers package from sdk ?
yup. Even gone as far as uninstalling the adb and sdk programs I had on my pc, downloading the newest versions and reinstalling. My computer "recognizes" the divice, but only as folders. Even when it's not mounted as mass storage.
STILL having te driver issue. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fnd a driver that will work with adb?

How did I root my “Full AOSP Rk29sdk”-MID 7-inch tablet (Android 4.0.3)
Hi Wingnut79 and others,
I have an Android 4.0.3 Tablet 7 inch, named "Full AOSP Rk29sdk" - and was also eager to root it....
After hours of search, trial and error, I succeeded.
My tablet is now fully rooted, and I can use ROM manager and all the aps for rooted android-devices....
How did I do that ?
I explain it here, in the attachment...
As you can see, my Windows is in the Dutch language, so I nevertheless hope everyone can understand what to do where...
I hope this can help...
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad!
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad! If u go on ebay u will see tons of tablets with ics 4.0.3. but the android on it it's a modified and weird version. I doublt it even is ics. One of my friends have it, and he cannot use the App Market, bcuz it said "Device not compatible with Market". Did u successfully downloaded stuff form the Market? If not, that maybe it's a piece of Chinese crap and u should call walmart for a refund.
It downloads apps from Android Market, Getjar, Amazon etc... just fine.
BAUDI--
I will try this later this afternoon, is it going to be an issue that my laptop OS is windows vista?
Mine tablet is a chinese tablet - but it's clearly really Android 4.0.3.
So, I also download and install applications from Playstore /Android Market/ etc.
It has Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS-AGPS, FM-radio,.... and evrything works really fine.
My sole problem was: no rootaccess (what I didn't understand, because it's "Android Open Source Project"...?)
Wingnut79,
as far as described in the guide I refer to, it works equally well on Vista. Just sometimes a little bit other name or place to find the properties or so - but should not be a problem at all.
I forgot to insist on the need to kill and restart adb after each change. I am not sure its really necessary each time, but I experencied that when I first thought "again nothing", it seemed well to work after "adb kill-server" and then "adb start-server"....
At some steps (I can't remember wich) I even rebooted my PC....
Now, everything works immediately...
So ROM Manager etc. works well, I have SuperUser... etc .
Good luck!

Just because it says it is 4.0.3 doesn't mean its pure AOSP. Remember that the China gov has its hands into a lot and there are things that they like to install on their devices to monitor the users and then close it up so it can't be changed.

I tryed many ways trying to root my tablet, even unlockroot.exe
I found SuperOneClickv2.3.3 and it found my tablet right off, it said my tablet looks rooted( but I knew it was not) so I let it do the root process, it installed superuser also

Hello,
So SuperOneClick did work for you?
What kind of tablet do you have?
What version of Android was it running when you used SuperOneClick?
Thank you,

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>adb backup -apk -shared -all -f /backup/mybackup.ab
adb: unable to connect for backup
So it sees the device but I can't backup?
[edit]Now I connect to the device, the 'adb reboot' command works and the device responds. it's just the backup command that is not working.
Please help

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>adb backup -apk -shared -all -f /backup/mybackup.ab
adb: unable to connect for backup
So it sees the device but I can't backup?
[edit]Now I connect to the device, the 'adb reboot' command works and the device responds. it's just the backup command that is not working.

The thing is I don't have access on my tablet. It won't boot.
So I can't start an app from the tablet, or maybe I can?
Anyone got this tab yet? I received my Auxus CoreX2 couple of days back. Trying to find ways to root the device. Currently stuck at finding USB drivers for the tab. When you connect the Tab to PC, it allows mounting storage as USB drive (which means no ADB access). If anyone has any inputs on things I should try, please share.
Update: Root successful. Apologies for the delay, but the tutorial is coming very soon. Stay tuned.
Update 2: Tutorial will go live on 1st February by the end of the day. In the meanwhile another rooting method posted by someone else seems to be working on both CoreX2 as well as CoreX4
Update 3: Firmware update instructions added
Update 4: Firmware update instructions for CoreX4 added
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rooting Options:
Method 1: Courtesy user @Kudremukh. It seems to be working on CoreX4 as well (CoreX2 is confirmed).
Finally I am able to root my Auxus Core X2 3G Tab. For this I first checked the chipset details of tab. I found It is Rock Chip. After searching on net I found 2 links on the web on rooting rockchip based tab rooting

Procedure of rooting:-
1. go to first link and download the App ( it is a chinees app) mentioned in the link
2. Enable USB debug mode on your tab
3. Lauch the application you just downloaded and connect tab to pc
4. if your device not recognised when connected to PC, then you download and install "chinees android manager" application from the second link.
5. If your device recognised then click on " ROOT" button ( actually it is not button, it is a link with chinees language). You can see the image in the second link.
6. Thats it YOUR DEVICE IS NOW ROOTED.
7. In my case I tried twice the same procedure to get root acces.
8. sorry I forgot to mention that, after process is over a Supervu icon will be created in your tab.
9. click it and get access

Method 2: Rooting using ADB
Posted by user skv_vlr_mech
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37410666
This is almost the same method I used for rooting. I can confirm that this will work 100%.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Instructions to update firmware on CoreX2 3G (Tested on Windows 7, not working on Windows 8)
1. Switch-off the tablet and make sure the tablet sufficiently charged (I would suggest 50% charge as minimum)
2. Connect the USB cable to tablet (But don't connect it to PC)
3. Press and hold the HOME button (triangular) on the tablet and simultaneously connect the other end of USB cable to PC.
4. Your PC will show "Found new hardware" and it will search for driver. Drivers are located in the folder "Drivers". Let windows search for drivers in the "Drivers" folder and allow it is install drivers even if it complains about the drivers not being digitally signed.
5. If you don't get "new hardware" notification on your PC, try the following:
a. Shutdown the tablet by pressing and holding power button for 10 seconds.
b. Connect the USB cable to PC (don't connect the other end of the cable to tablet yet).
c. Press and Hold the Home button on tablet and simultaneously insert cable in the tablet.
d. You should now see "new hardware found" wizard on Windows.
4. Open the file "CoreX2-3G-Tool.exe". If the drivers were successfully installed, a green box will appear under "Connected Devices". If no green box comes up, restart your PC and follow the entire procedure to install drivers again.
6. Click "Upgrade" button and the process will start automatically.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT press Cancel or Disconnect the Tablet from PC during the upgrade process as it will render your tablet un-bootable and useless.

CoreX4 upgrade instructions (courtesy shanmukha24)
"To reinstall the firmware, download the below file and copy the contents of the ZIP file to a formatted MircoSD card ( Note: you need to unzip the files and put only those files in the formatted MicroSd card but not the folder or zipped file).
http://www.iberry.asia/firmware/CoreX4-3G.zip
Turn-off your tablet PC, insert the MicroSD and then press and hold the 'Volume -' button and the power button to reinstall the firmware.
Once the firmware update is complete, the tablet PC will turn-OFF. Press and hold the power button to turn-ON your tablet PC and complete the firmware update." (courtesy: Iberry India technical support team)

Solution to CoreX4 stuck in boot-loop (courtesy: ajayap.hk)
Hello,
In your update 4 on first post, I noticed you have provide a quote as to how to correct if things go wrong. I request you to kindly add a line about how to turn the tab off.
I did the following,
1. Tried by inserting the sd card with the stock firmware and then pressing the hidden button b/w the sd card and sim card slots and the power and volume down ("V-") button simultaneously prompting it to re-install my firmware.
2. This was the only way by which I could re-install as you cant switch off this tab when its stuck in boot loop.

My Dad just bought a AUXUS CoreX4 3G. Am waiting eagerly to root it and also wanted to install JB. I see some other devices of iBerry have JB installed on them but this one has ICS. Also this device CoreX4 3G is having problems with the Phone/Mobile part of it. The calls are not audible when on speaker mode even on full volume. and if we donot switch on the Data access over mobile network, strangely it doesnot connect to the mobile network.
Hoping if i Install a JB of some custom rom it will help improve the touch sensitivity and mobile network access control.

Amazing, Thank you dude. I am able to root my corex4 with this method. Now I am waiting for any custom JB rom to flash.
Latest firmware
Iberry has uploaded firmware on their website, but when i check from my tab for update in settings it shows you have latest firmware. Is there any change or patch in firmware they uploaded in website or just the same copy.

It is CoreX4 right? I am going to try this method and I want to make sure it is not a spelling mistake.
BTW, I am having a strange problem with the tablet. If charging is being done, regardless of how, the screen behaves very strangely. It registers touch input at random places automatically. I tried the charger included with the tablet, usb power charging, usb system charging. All behave in the same manner. This only happens when you have the tablet flatly grounded on a surface. If you lift the tablet in your hands, the problem goes away.
Can somebody confirm? I want to know that is this an issue with only my tablet or is a problem found across the board.
Update:
I called iBerry customer care and the guy on the phone confirmed that this is indeed a problem plagueing these tablets. He was giving me all kind of lame reasons, like "the battery is huge, it needs more power", "it might be happening because of voltage fluctuations", "it has ips screen, so power surges while charging can cause the issue". I have a iPad2 too so I quelled all his excuses.
So it seems this issue is a known issue with the tablet. The only way to use your tablet while charging is to keep it in your hands. Otherwise the performance of the tablet is quite impressive.
Happy to know
FIRST SWITCH OFF AND ON YOUR DEVICE AND PLUG IN YOUR CHARGER TO electric socket and 2nd insert the charger pin into your female charging port on your tablet and check it it will slove your malfunction .

cant you help me?
btw..my phone was charging only and no popups so what should i do..?

The thing is that your computer must detect your phone, there are several mods to root your O1, go to FAQ or to android development repository, these are sticky threads and choose one method, but first read carefully and after try it. There it is explained in detail how to do it, all methods are safe and used by all people, so you do not need to care about it that it will brick your phone, just follow instructions exactly

If you have a driver still having problems use another port to plug in the cable.Remove from that and check on the other side of computer.If still does not run then have LG United Mobile Driver.
Mine is detected trough recovery mounting USB, but I pointed you to read FAQ, there it explains how to root without connecting to PC, use phone browser to download app for rooting, also install android SDK and LG USB driver, when you connect phone to PC it won't pop up any window until you tap on phone USB mass storage, also enable in settings, apps, development, android debugging, allow mock locations, go to device manager on PC and disable LG modem

Hi, by the way you are using LG P500 no?
Then did you try plugging into the other ports as well,like i have 3-4 ports.Even you have so first try that.
Do you have LG support tool? If you don't then go to this (http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP500) website and follow simple steps.In the 'download' section you will find 'update software & drivers in red'. Click that and follow the steps,very easy.( install for windows )
Still have problem then restart the computer and see
there are many ways to put an app like gingerbreake to sd card, even trough dropbox, bluetooth, wifi etc
but with you is to hard to make you understand to read sticky threads, maybe rooting an doing other things to your phone is better to... not to do it, first read, understand and after try it
read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149636 FAQ is ment to be read not to skip, here it explains how to, and what app with link to download, if you search playstore you will find XDA app, install it, log in, browse forum, download gingerbreack and run it from sd card
---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------
first try gingerbreacke, if doesn't work, if you had readed all STICKY THREADS, there is explained that you need to enable ADB on your phone(search what is it), disable LG modem in pc device manager and use one app like superoneclick that you find in rooting threads
hello..i tried different cord and port. still charging only..
about reading faq. ofcourse i read that already and i dont create a thread if found a solution..thats why i created a thread.
yes i enable usb debugging even mass storage..but nothing happen.
about gingerbreak it seems not work in 2.3.3 if any please give me.
thanks again
"Run "regedit"and select the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/MountedDevices" folder. See all the "Dos Devices" listed? You'll have one entry for each physically mounted drive (HDD or Disc) plus you'll have one show up for each USB drive you attempt to insert. Double click each device listed and seeifyou seetextsaying something like"U.S.B.S.T.O.R...". Once you find that device, right click it and select "Rename". Now change the drive letter to something unused... like Q: or something. Close regedit, disconnect the USB device and reconnect

it is not hardware, it is abouth something in phone drivers, download from phone browser root .apk and run it, after root you will have to install recovry, and boot into it, mount usb and your pc will detect your phone, works 100%, copy to sd card any custom rom that you will like and after that you can do anything you want(nearly anything)

i picked up the polaroid 9 inch internet tablet (pmid920 model number) for $88 bucks today from menards that came with a keyboard and the case and the tablet. I dinked around with it for a bit doesn't seem to bad besides not having the android market, im ok with the tablet seems decent for the price and the basic needs i will be using it for. But when searching the internet I can't find a single review or a guide to root it or any custom roms. Has anyone else purchased this tablet on black friday? or heard good or bad things? Any help how i could get root and flash a rom or atleast get play market? Thanks guys.
specs:
android 4.2
1.6 Ghz Dual-Core
Ram: 1gb/DDR3
Res:1024x600
Int Mem: *gb
Ext Mem: Micro Sd
I picked one up as well and also have been un able to find any info on how to root it or install Google play.
polaroid pmid920
I also got one today but im hesitant to open it without reading a good review. How is the performance? Is it sluggish or does it respond well? I also just bought a sansung galaxy tab 3 7.0 and im disappointed because of how slow it is. Can anyone confirm the response of this tablet? I want to be sure thid time before I regret openning the bix. I searched for other sites and it doesnt seem to be one of the recognized models by android. Thats probably why theres no google play.does it allow installation of apps from other sources? Thanks for any review ir response!
I got a similar deal yesterday; Insignia Flex 8
Having the same problem with rooting. Seems like not many people try with these budget tablets.
What chip is it running?
I wonder if it's similar to the flex and maybe the same method will work for both?

Please do! I want to try it on the flex.
Try su in a terminal and make sure it works. Though I think you should be good root checker reports ok.
Root files
I take no credit for these programs and files
I used the modded usb windows drivers in file below to install
the drivers for the PMID920
I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 to root the device
selecting option one, and following the on screen instructions
it did not take the first time around, I tried every selection I could
I even un rooted via all methods, but every time it said success
I would check with root check pro and after about the 8th time the damn thing worked.
Try selection ( 1 new ) from the get go, maybe you wont have an issue like me
it kept looking for an ric file, but it would not create it, it seems to have worked
after I created the file.
Now we need recovery, google play, 4.4 kitkat, just messing !
Please post your results.
Edit; got gapps installed, this things turning out to be alright.
needs gps though !
Show some love and hit the thanks.
Seemed to Work for me on the first time.
Have you found any custom roms with Google play and the stock apps that work on it?

Yeah, well, I just installed DPInst in the folder. Was there something else I should do?
Google play works
Google play works great with the stock ROM!
1 root device as above.
2 download JB gapps, unzip it on your PC and copy the system folder over to this device sdcard/download folder
3 find and install root explorer, copy apk to device and install, run it and click parent folder until you are in root directory
now click read write, instead of read only on the top left to give it permission to write files, navigate to sdcard/download where
the JB gapps system folder was copied, click copy with root explorer as paste it in your root directory where the system folder is,
it will ask you if you want to merge the folder click yes and let it finish, once done reboot your tablet and you will be prompted
to set up a Google account.
You now have Google play, Google tts, calander, voice search, gmail and a brand new toy!

Seemed to Work for me on the first time.
Have you found any custom roms with Google play and the stock apps that work on it?

What device are you trying to root the tablet from,
From a windows device you download and extract the USB driver files
you may need to run the driver setup as administrator, after install check
and see if you have adb device in control panel, system manager, it should not
have an exclamation sign on it, if you need lead device to driver folder.
Also try another USB port, and try to unplug the device and plug it back in when the program is looking for it.
Im returning mine, as i found at walmart they had a 10.1" tablet for $99 that had good reviews on amazon. This tablet seemed to be hit or miss for the 7 inch version after finding reviews on amazon. awesome that it was found how to find root, i just couldn't stand the screen as it seemed u had to be straight on with it or it was hard to see. for a extra $11 i figured i'd return in to menards and go with the 10.1" tablet. Here is the link for it.

any info on this one?
Is there any dedicated sites for tablets? as xda seems clearly for mobile devices..

I take no credit for these programs and files
I used the modded usb windows drivers in file below to install
the drivers for the PMID920
I used Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 to root the device
selecting option one, and following the on screen instructions
it did not take the first time around, I tried every selection I could
I even un rooted via all methods, but every time it said success
I would check with root check pro and after about the 8th time the damn thing worked.
Try selection ( 1 new ) from the get go, maybe you wont have an issue like me
it kept looking for an ric file, but it would not create it, it seems to have worked
after I created the file.
Now we need recovery, google play, 4.4 kitkat, just messing !
Please post your results.
Edit; got gapps installed, this things turning out to be alright.
needs gps though !
Show some love and hit the thanks.

Help please
I'm trying everything I have seen here but my 920 won't root, I get a deameon started message sometimes but nothing happens. I'm using a windows 7 machine, installed usb driver and still nothing. I've installed craynogen mod on a tab 2 10.1 and then this little tablet stumps me. Anything would be helpful. If you need more info just pm me.Thanks

I got this tablet just last night. I truthfully wouldn't mind if it couldn't access the market, except that the stock youtube player on the device doesn't seem to be able to play playlists, just single videos, it won't auto-play any playlists.
I've downloaded the android market (Gapps-2.3.4.zip) on the device and installed it, but whenever I try to open the market, it asks me to add an account, and clicking yes just closes back to the main screen.
I tried Lionideas (sp?) steps, downloading both the root by recovery and usb driver. I installed dpinst-32bit.exe, as well as running adb.exe (wasn't sure if both were necessary, or if any further steps are necessary.)
After that, I enabled USB debugging on the device (there's a notification on the top status bar that it's running), connected it to my PC, and ran the runme.bat file. Selecting option one, it tells me to connect a device with usb-debugging enabled, and halts there...as far as I can tell I've followed the steps, can anyone enlighten me?
