Hi again,
my problem is as followed,
Recently rooted my Galaxy N7000 and replaced firmware with IMilkas ICS Tablet version.
Now my problem is I want to get rid of it yet the USB is not recognized by my Windows computer.
I am unable to use Mobile Odin as it will crash instantly also unable to use Odin via PC due to my phone not being recognized.
So any help would be great !
______________________________________________________
FIXED
I downloaded via the app store an app called "Airdroid" which allows you to move files from your pc to your phone whilst both devices share the same Network!
Moved a new Rom onto my phone and rebooted it into Recovery mode
> Install Zip from SDcard located my main file and installed it.
applied the update the same way, after restarting ,it threw a bunch of random error messaged around so I used the app CWM which comes with the ROM
option : FLASH KERNEL
located same rom as before and installed it with CWM followed by a reboot I used the option Flash Update in CWM and updated Griskelo Rom .
SO thank god it worked no error messaged and my USB works again so Odin can get back to work
Most likely there is a much easier way but this is what I figured out myself and as this forum says before you sign up... You are a noob any ways !
lol
hope I helped somebody with this and hope someone else posts the easier way beneath this
Hello at all......
I came from Germany, so sorry for my bad english.......
From a Friend, i get an Lenovo A660 Android Phone, this Phone died during an update he made......
Only shows the lying Android with the sign.
I can boot it with luck, but then the Homescreen is lost, i only can make preferences.
I load the custom rom from cybermouse, get into the recoverymode and get a failure message ''not signed''
Then i can find the original rom, but i get the message about boot failure, sometimes i can install from sd card, but nothing happens.
i sit here on osx.........any ideas for an Apple boy, to solve this problem, and recover that phone ?????
Hi, I don't know if this is still up to date, ... anyway:
Theres a step by step instruction in cybermaus thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403
"Instructions:
By default, the ROM will not overwrite USERDATA or FAT. If you want a clean slate, first extract empty.userdata.rar and/or empty.fat.rar
- Read bgcngm flash tutorial.
- Read it again
- Start Flash Tool (v3.1222, in my Dev-Host)
- Load scatter file
- Take out USB cable and replace battery
- Press the download button in the flash tool
- Connect the USB cable
- Wait for the flashing to complete"
The most important thing is: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
You have to flash your phone first before you can install a custom rom!
(I don't know how to do it on osx... I've done it on Win with my Lenovo A660 and it worked!)

After a successful root I probably made mistake in editing "vold.fstab" (I want to change the sdcard1 for sdcard2) a tablet hangs when loading ( still spinning wheel and the system will not boot ) .
I download a recovery file by "nandroid" from some Czech Republic Android forum, put in on SD card but in CWM I'm still see that "restore not found". So I can not restore with this file.
Could someone help me?
Somebody said that update firmware can help, I have officialy firmware update in format img . PMP5101C_20131019_v1.0.8.img , but do the update through the program what official makes Prestigio requires the tablet is on (boot in system), which unfortunately is not possible .
Maybe it is possible to do it with RKAndroidTool, there can be tablet off (just turf off, push volume+ and connect cable) . But I dont know, what is the numbers in box " Address" for firmware update ((
Alternatively, maybe somebody can create a update.zip file for me, that I can use in the CWM and make a update with this and overwrite the "vold.fstab" to the original.
If someone help , I also like to reward for PayPal.
I do not want have a tablet for 200 EUR as a paperweight.
Sorry for my poooor english.
UP - Please help me.

Do you have the files to root this device as i have CMW 6.03 installed, but when i use the SuperSU-v1.65.zip that came with it, it errors.
Please help as this is a great device from Maplins at a great price.
@dvd73
Not sure if you managed to fix your problem.
I messed up my framework-res.apk trying to get usb tether enabled and my 5101C also did not boot.
I reflashed my rom to v.1.0.11 from the official website according the instructions provided and it was like new.
No need to start it up, you only need to get to flash mode by holding vol+ while pluging in the usb, then RKbatchtool will recognize your tablet.
@happy2help
Try updating your rom to v.1.0.11 and then flashing the CWM recovery. Then download the latest SuperSU zip from xda and install the zip, this worked for me.

Step 1 Download & Extract the bundle for your device
You will be getting either a zip or 7z file, personally I would use 7zip to extract these files, you should get a recovery.img and also a folder called TWRP. If you have these two things move on to step 2
Step 2 - Locations
Both SD Card and USB being formatted Fat32 - Some boxes except most s905 you can use the SD card for both TWRP folder and recovery.img, Regardless I use SD only for recovery.img, so drag and drop the recovery.img onto the Fat32 SD Card and Drag and drop the TWRP folder onto the Fat32 USB drive. Done
Step 3 - Formatting before installing.
Connect everything but the power - Connect a real USB mouse/Airmouse to the box due to the regular remote will not work, connect the USB drive and connect the SD Card, Everything but power. Some boxes have a reset button on the side and some the reset button is inside the AV jack, you will feel it, If in the AV jack simply use a toothpick or use a Q Tip with the cotton end removed and slide it in the AV jack and you will feel the button.
HOLD THIS BUTTON AND DO NOT LET GO - At the same time plug it in and keep holding, boxes with physical power button press this now. You will be presented with a blue screen, you will get a read only scren most likely, slide to proceed.
First thing first I always recommend backing up partitions incase something is to go wrong. There are tons of cloned boxes its hard to cover them all. I personally would go to backup. Locate where it says storage, and change from internal to usb otg for USB drive or external sd for your SD Card. Backup all your partitions.
When done, go back. Press the little house button on the screen or the back button until back at the TWRP menu, go to restore, Make sure usb otg or external sd is chosen, wherever you put the TWRP folder, If you are using a box not from me PM me the model and I will confirm what to restore, for example, M8, M8S BCM and AP models, MX3, M10, You can restore all, S912 boxes some are different so PM me to be safe. After I tell you what to restore do so. Let it do its thing. Once done, reboot and enjoy. If it fails by any means. Do not reboot, just go back and choose wipe, format data, type yes press enter. Once done just go back and restore data JUST BY ITSELF so untick everything but data, once finished restore all the other partitions. All done
Enjoy the build - When you first boot my firmware let it sit after it boots for a good minute or two. It will auto load my custom firmware patches and more.
If you are using M8, M8S, M10, MXq you need to follow below -
When you start the TV box. Let it sit a few minutes and first things first. In Android applications click on No Frills CPU - the accelerometer and when it opens click apply and than exit. It is super important with my custom rom to unlock the other 2 CPU Cores and the other 4 GPU Threads. If this does not make sense just go into my apps and look for no frills, same app as on the desktop you will just see the name instead.
NOT EVERY FIRMWARE HAS NO FRILLS - IF NOT DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
i do not own the firmware
credits go to ghostware.
Congrats!
Just a clarification, which ROM are you using as "skeleton", and what ROM did you take the /system partition from?

if you have the recovery.img file on the root of the sd card, toothpick method should take you to TWRP where you can then flash the zip. did you give it some time (with the reset button pressed in)? it can take approx 10 seconds sometimes.

Either your download is corrupt, or you are not using TWRP to perform the update.
Has anyone been having random freezing and reboots?

I also had that problem even though I flashed the square remote zip after the lollipop update. I might have flashed the M8N remote though to be honest and I don't have the box anymore to test more remote patches.
You can try the M8S remote zip from the link below and report back if it worked for you.

I had the exact same problem when trying to upgrade to something M8S+ based. Worked perfectly the first time, but I could not start it up after a cold boot. Have you tried my original approach instead using the Team DevDigitel ROM?

And what happens if you first go back to your stock Kitkat 4.4 ROM (with USB burning tool), and then try with my original approach (with SD card)?

Help needed M8S ap6360 v1.3 20150921
Can someone make a TRWP backup from this rom ? specially the boot file
Also want to know where to download the M8s+ rom what daniel uses in this treat
Thanks
Hi d4nielr,
Wanted to thank you for the excellent work in compiling this ROM to support m8s app6330.
After trying out various ROMs and in the process bricking my device several times and un-bricking it using the burning tool, I finally came across your forum.
Thanks for the wonderful rom and the installation was a breeze and smooth sailing throughout.
Btw, for the installation I can only use the other most USB port. If I insert the sd card into the inner most usb port, it will take me to the bootloader.
So, for the TEAMWIN logo to appears, I need to put the sd card into the outer most usb port which is located at the back of my m8s unit.
cheers.......
Update.....
Unfortunately, after a cold boot, it doesn't work any longer. Back to kitkat using usb burning tool.
