Polaroid 9 inch tablet

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?

PMID920 Root ?
PMID920 rooted !

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?

How did you guys get it to recognize your device?
Every time I try, it says "Please connect Device with USB Debugging to your computer"
My tablet is connected, with USB debugging on

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!

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.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/TRIO-Stealth-G2-10.1-Tablet-Dual-Core-with-16GB-Memory/26973760
any info on this one?
Is there any dedicated sites for tablets? as xda seems clearly for mobile devices..

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?

OTG Doesnt Work After Update

Hi All, Earlier I used to connect my pendrive to MOTO G, but after the update of 4.4.4, It doesn't show any files, I have tested using various applications!
When I contacted customer care, One of them stated me to install Astro File manager and check. It also doesnt show. Another One Stated that after 4.4.4 updated it stopped OTG Support!!!
Do you also experience this problem? Is there any fix? I think it connects but doesnt show anything because in one application named "OTG Disk Explorer" it shows a prompt when I connect pendrive
The prompt is shows is "Allow the app OTG Disk Explorer Lite to access the USB Device" When I choose yes, The app says that "Drive cannot open, Please check USB Is Fat32 or NTFS File system"
Hope someone helps me?

Same problem with my phone.
After updating to GPE 4.4.4 it does not connect the OTG automatically.
At this moment I use Stickmount (available on Playstore) to access my OTG.

But my device is not rooted, Is there any solution for unrooted devices?

For unrooted devices I don't know how to access OTG.

I did read that part, but unfortunately my OTG is in FAT32 but is not recognized in GPE 4.4.4
If I use Stickmount it works.

Checked it, My pendrive is Fat32 and doesn't work,It used to work earlier, but after update not working. Should I root my device or wait until OTG Update?

Root your device and you will be able to solve almost 99.99% software bugs related your device. But at the same time your device will loose its virginity. Within your warranty period if you face any hardware problem, you have to pay to get it rectified. Now choice is yours. At the same time I would like to mention, many users from this forum are using rooted Moto G almost since they bought the device and they are enjoying. You have to be confident enough.
Now regarding space issue, if you are using mobile data plan or wifi, you can enjoy 15+50 GB free Google Drive space from any where and if Moto G gets Android L OTA update, hope the OTG issue will be fixed there.

[Q] Enable OTG/root on mysterious tablet

Hello,
First of all I want to thank you for all the resources you share, very helpful!
Well.. I just bought this tablet.. Fourel [email protected] 7002. If any of you know it please don't blame me. On the box it says it is OTG-ready and I can use any USB device but actually it doesn't look like. I need to connect my "tablet" (quotes are mandatory) to an external device and use it thru an android app, which I already have. The app launches "smoothly" but it says no device connected. I am pretty sure the USB cable is compatible cause it's the official app's cable.
So, do I need to root my device and enable OTG which may be hardware-ready but needs to be unlocked? Any other idea? I tried Framaroot but it didn't work.
Thanks!!
PS I'm not very expert of rooting, modding and stuff on Android devices, if you could please describe step-by-step procedures that'd be awesome!!

[Q] How to install usb drivers? Acer Iconia One 8 B1-810

I've been trying to root my device, unfortunately I've received no help or feedback from this forum (I'm surprised as it was recommended in some tutorials I've read) but hoping someone might be able to help this time.
There is another thread which I've been trying to follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/acer-iconia-one-8-b1-810-root-bloatware-t2991943
And it states to install usb drivers, alexys77 has posted a link for the drivers needed and I downloaded it but I don't know howto actually install them. I downloaded it from my tablet, I double click but nothing happens. I tried extracting it (by connecting it to my laptop) but I'm still unsure exactly what to do. Help!! Can anybody give me precise instructions on how to do this (including which part needs to be done on laptop/ tablet
Also, I'm still wondering if there Is a way to use a 1 click root for this? My exact model name is acer iconia one 8 b1-810_2cbw_316t. Is the above link the easiest method of rooting? Hope someone can help soon! Thanks again (to anyone who tries to help) :crying:

You have to install usb drivers on your pc and keep the supersu.zip in your device. Then follow the procedure in the above thread!

Thanks! I unzipped the folder which contains the drivers needed, but which file from there do I click to install? It contains the following folders:
ADB Interface (Interface 1)
Android-Phone
B1-810 (1)
Dispositivo USB MTP
Intel Android AD
I thought the B1-810 (1) would be the most likely choice, but none of the files in that folder seemed to install anything. Or is it simply enough to have the files unzipped on my laptop? lol I'm still confused as to why I need to install usb drivers when my tablet is recognised when I plug it into USB?? I would have thought it necessary if there was an obvious problem??

Which file is the install file??
Thanks I eventually rooted it, but using cydia impactor drive scan (the steps in the tutorial didn't quite work for me) Got there in the end but lol

Nice![emoji106]
