All your current settings and apps will be gone after flashing a ROOT rom, only the content within Internal SD will be kept, so backup somewhere first.
If you must keep your current apps and settings.. read post #12
==============================================================
You need a Linux environment to do the following... (read #2 if you know windows only)
1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"
3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip
4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..
5. mount the image file like these...
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp
6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin
#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin
7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary
#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su
8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip
#umount /mnt/tmp
9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD
10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.
11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see.

==============================================================
1. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwid...ctId=3779&tb=0
2. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
!!! ALL I did to these files was putting the su binary, nothing else I have modify.
!!! If you still feel unsafe, just follow how I did in post #1 by yourself
3. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded in step 2.
4. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
5. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
6. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
7. Look for the SuperUser app from android market, DONE.
You have the latest ROM with root now.
====================
Alternate TRICKY METHOD:
====================
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" into your mediapad directly via fastboot would kept your current DATA and Apps untouched.
NOT recommended for production, as Huawei updates things other than the system, so flashing only the "system.img.ext4" may lose those updates !
BUT this method could give you a chance to make a backup via titanium before flashing the new ROM completely.
To activate fastboot mode of mediapad..
1. Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)
3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.
4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad.. DONE

although I do not know what's the use of thanks meter
With root access, do you know if it causes any problems to uninstall some bloatware (i.e, blockbuster app, Lets Golf 2, Blio, Qello, etc)?
Also, are there any ROMs available for the Springboard/mediapad?
some tips:
1) some distribution of linux may have "read-only filesystem" problem when cp su to mounted system.img.ext4. try it on older linux kernel distribution.
fedora16,ubuntu 11,mint 12.. have this problem.but fedora13,mint 10 is ok.

MediaPad root and keeping APPs and Settings
TRICKY METHOD to keep current Apps and Settings.
For important data, please copy it out of your mediapad before continues...
==========
How it works
==========
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" would update your system path
and keeping your current apps and settings untouch.
Backup your apps and settings after you gain root access.
Flash again the whole root ROM after the backup.
Restore all stuffs after the 2nd Flash.
============
Steps to Follow
============
1a. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
OR
1b. Make your own "system.img.ext4" file like post #1 mentioned.
2. Activate fastboot mode of mediapad by
Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)
3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.
4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad..
6. Install SuperUser app from market, install Titanium Backup.
7. Make full backup in titanium, all those backup files will be kept in Internal SD, which it will not be touched when flashing the 2nd time.
8. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
9. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded/made in step 1.
10. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
11. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
12. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
13. Look for the SuperUser app and Titanium backup from android market again.
14. RESTORE everything from the Titanium backup
(!! make sure you have selected "RESTORE", not BACKUP, it's easy to mix up!!)
15. You have now the complete updated and rooted system together with your previous apps and settings.
I would appreciate you're patient enough to go through all these steps..
if you like this post, please click THANK YOU
although I still don't know what's the use for that thanks meter..
After checking the time stamp and file size of all files inside the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012
I confirm the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012 is identical to the ROM dated 9 JAN 2012
If you have already flashed the 9 JAN 2012, you're already using the latest version.

Does anyone know why Ubuntu 11 mounts the system.img.ext4 in a strange form of rw ? I've been over this again and again. I've run up Linux Mint 10 on usb and mounted it successfully but it makes no sense that Ubuntu does the same. There must be something odd with the newer linux kernel causing this problem but nobody seems to know why. It seems crazy to have to run up an old OS just to mess about with an ext4 filesystem.
Any ideas ????
Does it support *loop device* ???

Help!!
i been surfing the internet trying to find a way of how i can root my device. so far ive had on luck. i have tried gingerbreak but i don't think this has even worked. does anyone have any ideas of how you could root this particular device. if you have any suggestions or know how you can, i would be very grateful.
HOWTO - root PMP5080B
There is a way to root the tablet.
But it it does not root the runnning version, it roots the update image.
So if don't have the most actual firmware try this:
(maybe you can flash the firmware even it is not newer, but i don't know how)
Todo (Windows PC necessary):
At first load the latest firmware and unzip it:
h t t p : / / w w w .prestigio.com/info/product/downloads?NODE_ID=61101103718510974&ITEM=110706112617507776
Download the Wendal tool:
h t t p s :/ / docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8h...RjZjFmODdiZTQ1
Then follow this steps:
1. Unzip the Wendal tool, you get a folder named "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1".
2. copy the update.img from Prestigio firmware download in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" folder and rename the file to "wendal.img"
3. start "Runme.bat"
4. press "1", you get the message that you have to rename your file. Since you have already done this before proceed. The batch file starts, make sure you dont see any errors.
5. press "2" followed by "Enter". The rootet image will be created automatically
6. end the programm with "3"
7. in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" you will find a file named "wendal-new.img", copy it to your SD card and rename it to "update.img".
8. put your SD card in your tablet, you will get a message to update your firmware
9. the tablet reboots, flashes the new firmware
10. be happy with your root access
Still having problems.
i have done what you said for me to do but when i rename the firmware to "wendal.img" and run it for some reason it keeps saying i haven't put the firmware in the folder when i have. do you know what how you can sort this out.
cheers
Did you unzip the firmware download?
Tried, tested & confirmed working
Just like to note that the software used will give you a warning about placing the update.img in the correct folder and renaming it even when it has already been done. You just have to press enter!
I have 5080B and i want to root it, but on ICS stock rom. Problem is, i cannot use wendal tools cause it can't add su and superuser.apk into /system ("no such directory") and even earlier i used to root gingerbread with these tools it is half-root - /system not rw, but superuser works
i saw update 2.0.2 from prestigio, pre-rooted, but i want to root this, newest version, 2.0.3
i have linux setup running and i tried mounting system.img but i can only add su, and nothing else cause there's no space...
also, how do i boot recovery from the device itself? i tried vol- and power key but there is an image of an 'destroyed' Android bot, no options there at all
Same problem - want root on Prestigio PMP 5080B
Just got a Prestigio PMP5080B running ICS 4 and want to root the tablet. I read from the preceding message that thhe method discussed here doesn't seem to work with it. Any ideas would be most welcomed here too.
By the way Hi!

FYI guys the JUUS03122012.zip file seems to be corrupt-there's no way to open it as a zip (I tried with 7-zip as well as windows explorer on multiple downloads). Does anybody have a working version of this file since Pantech isn't pushing it out?

OK, that is fixed now. I uploaded all the files through a web browser and that way seems to corrupt the files. I uploaded all the files through the drop box client on my computer now so they should all be working.
I also cleaned up the unrooting section and added the cwm backup for the latest update that was pushed out.

yes. after you root you will need to reboot once more for it to show the correct kernel version.

Great! The more places we can get information posted, the more interest we can hopefully get for this phone. I pretty much stick to XDA. If anyone else knows any other sites, feel free to quote these instructions or link to these ones.
I noticed that the cm9 file under the ROMS link was updated 4 days ago, any major changes yo those version? Also, thank you to all who is making this possible.

Since people are already in the command line you might as well just place a command for "adb reboot" here.
Great job with this post by the way. Just a suggestion for people new to all of this. Not to mention, the more they work from the command line the more they will become comfortable with it.
Just a warning. By flashing a full PDL file you are risking to brick your device in case something goes wrong, as PDL file flashes bootloader and radio.
Use it only if nothing else works.
Got native HotSpot enabled.
Hi to all! My tablet is bricked I can open the recovery menu, but, even if i can use "adb sideload" command from my pc, i don't have a rom to send to my tablet. How can i solve the problem? The tablet can boot but it remains in the "initial configuration page", because a system process always crashes".... Please help me
If you can get into recovery and other things your not bricked, junior member. I don't know the exact process but if someone with an a1000 knew or was willing and instructed they could dump the rom and if someone knew how could make it into a flashable zip, maybe, like I said don't know the exact process

there is a post post in lenovo forum PREAMBLE-FOR-LENOVO-A1000-ROM-RECOVERY-ETC
u can a nandroid backup there ,after installing twrp ,just restore back up backup
place the back up u need to create a folder "TWRP"
in twrp "BACKUPS"
in backups "LENOVO_A1000_MT8317"
PUT THE RESTORE FILES IN A FOLDER CREATE THE "RESTORE FOLDER" IN ABOVE LENOVO FOLDER
Hope This helps
Caution MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR IMEI AND MAC ADRESS AND BLUETOOTH ADRESS
Note : Step 6 and 7 can be shortcutted by Pressing on the hard reset button while/while not connected to PC
: this will erase all data on your internal memory, so keep all the data you wanna back up in PC or External SD card and remove it (just to be safe)
ok, so
Step 1 google A1000F_A412_01_23_130822_ROW_USER, you should find it in 4shared(dot)eu
Or http://www.4-shared.eu/download/bt6fqlKPInMXDN3q7CPuW1/A1000F-A412-01-23-130822-ROW-USER.html
Step 2: once you finish downloading, extract it, then go to the FlashTool folder and look for FlashTool.exe
Step 3, once you open FlashTool.exe, Click the checkbox DA DL All with Checksum
Step 4 Now load scatter file MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc (located in A1000F_A412_01_23_130822_ROW_USER Folder, it will be the only file show other than the flash tool folder)
Step 5 now click Format> Format All partition except Bootloader > validation > ok
Step 6 Now connect your USB to MiniUSB (charger cord) to the computer but DO NOT PLUG IT YET TO THE PC
Step 7 now hold down on your Up volume button and wait 10 sec. then plug it into pc
Step 7.1 (not really) the loading bar on the bottom of SP flash tool should turn red and other difirent colors, once its finished, there should be a popup saying OK, Close it and youre done
Step 8: now Click on download, after you download, look at Step 6 to 7.1
Step 9 IF the device fails to boot, download this ( will put link to A1000F fix tool)
Step 10 press the hard reset button (besides SD card slot) or Follow Step 6 to 7.1
Step 11 Boot UP
To install TWRP 2.5 ( Found it in lenovo russian forums) (Tested the file) (worked for my IdeaTab A1000-F)
Step 12 Download From This (Direct Link) http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/Tablets/A1000/Custom/A1000T_TWRP_v2.5.0.0.zip
Step 13 Extract it
Step 14 IGNORE the included scatter file from the TWRP download (had problems with it) and follow Step 4
Step 15 On the loaded files from Scatter file, look for recovery ( 7th File), Click on it, there should be a file explorer pop up
Step 16 On the file explorer pop up, look for the A1000F_TWRP_v2.5.0.0 folder you just extracted AND then click on the recovery.img found inside
Step 17 Now Choose Firmmware -> Upgrade and do Step 10
TO ROOT WITHOUT PC (must do step 1-17)
Step 18 Boot to recovery (hold power button + up volume button AT THESAME TIME)
Step 19 You should be at TWRP recovery, Tap on Reboot>System and there should display a warning about the system not being rooted, and it should prompt you to slide to root, SLIDE IT, it should reboot automatically
Step 20 in your app drawer, look for SU installer and click on it,Your going to be prompted to innstall SU via playstore or via TWRP (i did it via TWRP bacause im lazy, and the system apps are updating, but your free to do otherwise) it should reboot, and vioala, your rooted
To Update Firmware
Step 21 Open SuperSU>settings>scroll down>enable pro (SuperSU should restart) then Open SuperSU again>settings>survival mode
Step 22 Download This (download 1) (will update to put link) and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Step 23 Open the Rashr Flasher tool you just downloaded from playstore and find Download 1 then navigate Download 1 file location (Named Recovery Folder) > Stock and tap on the recovery img
Step 24 download and install the Update from Settings>about tablet>Firmware Update (make sure you have enabled survival mode in super Su, or else you will loose root privilages)
To go back to TWRP
Step 25 just use the Rashr Recovery tool and go to download 1 file location (named Recovery Folder) > TWRP and tap on the recovery img

I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.
Thank You DAVI FELICANO and deej_roamer for their help. I have now successfully rooted my phone. If someone else has a problem, go to Page 2 for the solution.
You can use the defalt method, dont need to change anything.
Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?
Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.
This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.
If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.

You can install only one game due to it's low internal memory. By one game I mean high graphics game. The obb file remains in the internal storage even after moving to SD card. I tried many things like making SD card default storage using SDK tools but to no Vail. Guess the only way now is to root it & use apps like gl2sd

8. Remove your phone from your pc.
9. Switch off your device.
10. Turn on your device by holding power off button and volume down button together for 6-7 seconds. Quickly connect your phone to your pc.

12. Run fastboot from your desktop.
13. Now type this (without quotes) - "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
14. Look at the screen of device. It must be showing "Mismatched partition size (recovery)". It is normal don't worry.
15. Press volume down once (recovery will be selected) and then volume up so that it goes into recovery.
16. It will show the bootloader unlocked warning. Don't worry about it.
17. Your phone should now be in CWM recovery.
18. Don't do anything except what I tell you.
19. In this menu movement is done by the volume rockers ans selection by power button.
20. Press volume down so that "install zip" is selected.
21. Press power button.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE A ROOTED MOTO E.
If you ever wish to flash any other recovery (like twrp),
1. Copy the file to the fastboot installation folder in your pc.
2. Then reboot your device into bootloader and quickly connect it to your pc.
3. Run fastboot from your desktop and then type the following without quotes: "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
4. Instead of writing "cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img" write the complete file name including extension. For eg. if file name is "twrp_recovery_2" and has extension ".img" then write "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_2.img"
I hope that this solved your problem brother.

4. Instead of writing "cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img" write the complete file name including extension. For eg. if file name is "twrp_recovery_2" and has extension ".img" then write "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_2.img"
I hope that this solved your problem brother.

Is your recovery.img placed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"?
It need to placed in it or you'll get an error.
Boot loader is LOCKED !! cannot be unlocked !! so no root for me ?
Hi,
I made a mistake installing Cyanogenmod on my phone, forgot to make a backup in TWRP.
This Cyanogenmod version requires me to delete my former EMUI fingerprints for the fingerprint function to work. I forgot to do that also...
So now I'm trying to reinstall my custom ROM. I found the UK PLK-L01 firmware on Huawei support page, downloaded that and put it on my (not external sd)sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP.
Then I try the Volume UP+Volume Down+Power for it to install the rom, but only thing that happens is that the phone boots into TWRP, and in there, there is no option to install a .APP file.
Please help

couldnt you just locate files and delete in root explorer or similar app?
You can open the update.app in Huawei update extractor and use adb to manually flash the system, custom, cache, boot and recovery partitions back to stock then once you boot into the stock emui os you can reflash twrp. I'm busy atm but I'll write you a proper guide soon. Or you could Google it but be careful becuase there are a lot of guide that don't work anymore
Edit: This won't require you to wipe your user data so you can keep your setting contacts apps etc.

Here is my guide it's a bit long but should be easy. I recommend reading it all first before following it just so you know what each step is doing.
Ok step one. Go to This link and download the emui version for you phone.
step two. You need to download Huawei update extractor from This link and install it on your pc.
Step three. unzip the update you extracted to a new folder on your desktop (It can be called anything bu I recommend calling it "EMUI") and put the update.app file in this folder.
Step four. open Huawei update extractor and select profile "Unknown (worstenbrood)" if it is not selected already.
Step five. Under the section where it says update file click on the ".." button navigate to the folder you made on your desktop and double click the update.app file.
Step six. Right click on the file named "BOOT.img" and click extract selected then once the green loading bar has gotten to 100% click close on the extracting window since it does not automatically do it its self.
Step seven. Repeat step six for the files named "CACHE.img", "CUST.img", "RECOVERY.img", "SYSTEM.img" and "USERDATA.img" (Only extract USERDATA.img if you want to wipe all of you apps, setting, contacts and messages)
Step eight. Open the folder you create on your desktop and copy all of the files you extracted (Only the .img files since Huawei update extractor also create some other files which you don't need) and paste them into the folder which you have adb installed into (It should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" if you used the sdk version but if you have a diffrent version of adb paste them into the folder which you have that installed to)
Step nine. Boot your phone into bootloader mode on you phone. There are a few ways to do this but use whatever way you used when you flashed twrp.
step ten. In widowns explorer (Your pc's file manager) Shift click in the folder you have adb installed into and click "Open cmd window here"
Step eleven. type the following commands into cmd "fastboot flash boot BOOT.img", "fastboot flash cust CUST.img", "fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img", "fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img" and if you decided to reset all of you data (Like apps, contacts, messages, setting, etc) "fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img" Some of these may take a long time (Especially SYSTEM.img but it shouldn't take more than 10 minute if it doesn't finish within 20 minute press ctrl + c in the cmd windows and start again).
Step twelve. Type "fastboot reboot" into cmd and you will boot into stock emui. Now you can reflash TWRP if you want and re install root.
Feel free to message me if you need help.
