I'm having TROUBLES getting into fastboot because i don't have all the mediapad usb drivers installed, i think 5 or 6 are already installed but those arn't enough i think. i found a .zip file on internet containing the huawei mediapad usb drivers but i can't use them, as when i try to "update drivers" then browsing to here the usb drivers are stored i get an immediate error saying that i can't!
what is the proper way to do this please?
is it possible to get into fastboot WITHOUT having the usb drivers installed on the pc?

that's already installed, on the pc and the tablet.
such a powerful android tablet is totally forgotten, people still develop for the first android device ever "t-mobile G1" and no one cares about huawei's great hardware. three days ago someone ported Jelly Bean 4.1 to the G1, and here we are still fighting to get an official cyanogen mod rom
this isn't fair.

I too am sad, however, Huawei hasn't yet mastered that game called "$Marketing" which the Americans are very good at. At least Huawei seems to be taking some steps to rectify that.
Anyway, here

Thanks for the link, i'll try that.
Fastboot should be hold volume down plus the power. When it's in fastboot mode should say a first line then hold power for 10 sec to reboot and the screen is black.

Or install quick boot from play
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using Tapatalk 2
I just installed Quick Boot for the play store, much much easier and always gets the job done, all that button pushing and holding is just old fashioned a bit.
but all this will be useless if we can't have a STABLE working cyanogenmod like the one that brought life on my htc wildfire. we are all waiting and testing but after_silence can't do everything alone, all the so-called developers on XDA are busy porting Jelly Bean to the oldest devices ever!
I will need to archive that app, i know how frustrating it is to remember key combinations on multiple devices.

I have been trying to figure out how to get into the fastboot mode on this pantech burst, really want to root it and maybe remove some of the stuff locked by AT&T. Anyone else find this phone very usable, like me. I think its a great phone and I have had several android phones in the past 2 years and this is my favorite "stock" firmware but just would like to remove the AT&T bloat.
New to Android here. Got the burst cause salesman said it was newest and best in my range. Well there be a way to root this thing anytime soon? Meaning, what I'd the usual wait time for root after a new device is released? Would I be better off to go back and trade for something else like HTC? Always liked HTC OS on my old win mobile devices. Thanks for reply.
My Pantech Burst bench notes
I have 2 brand new Bursts on my work bench. I've been doing some tinkering with them. Here are a few my bare bone notes so far:
Pantech Burst Model P9070
All of the articles I read said the Burst would ship with 2.3.4. Both of mine have 2.3.5. Last minute update?
According to AT&T the Latest Firmware is JUUS12052011
-----
Pull & reinsert the Battery, then hold Power & Volume Down buttons until a screen with a Triangle with Yellow ! appears. Once this pops up, Press the Menu button to make the Android Recovery <3e> menus appear.
At this point, The volume rockers become the up & down Keys. The Home button is Enter
-----
When you Pull & reinsert the Battery, then press & hold both Volume buttons then press Power - "S/W Upgrading" will appear on the screen
-----
So far ZergRush nor OneClick work to achieve Root.

Oh, and you can get the Pantech PC Suite which contains the ADB drivers here:

That's taken directly from Pantech's site.

Here is the link to get open source files from Pantech.

I tried to search for Burst but it found nothing. I think the model number of the burst is "P9070". I searched that and found "P9070_Kernel.zip" file. It shows that it's country code is "KOR" and if I try to download it I get an error message

I did a google search for "P9070_Kernel.zip" and found http://opensource.pantech.com/model/list.asp?Category=Mobile# This still shows the country as KOR but it will let me download it.

That is not the US version of the kernel for this device. It is the US kernel for the Panteck Pocket.
The Burst's model number is P9070
The Pocket's model number is P9060
http://www.pantechusa.com/support/pocket
You can try that kernel on the Burst if you want but it may very well brick the device
Saw this while sitting here at work. wondering if once in the recovery could see the device from ADB.... maybe could even do fastboot oem unlock then work from there... all things to try once I get home...
i have this pantech IM-A730s with lock pattern problem.
i had downloaded the kernel zip file from the linsk from above.
can anyone guide me how to reflash the phone?
thx
The "PantechP9070_README.txt" included in what you downloaded clearly shows this is only the Source Code to compile a kernel. It is NOT a flashable Kernel. If you are having problems with your phone, contact Pantech Tech Support. I have spoken with them at length. They are decent people. (Much Much better than they use to be.)

There is a downloadable kernel for the US P9070. If you look into the source info it clearly indicates it is for the AT&t Burst P9070.
Here's how to get into fastboot:
Install Pantech Drivers, from a command line run:
adb reboot bootloader
Your Burst will reboot and reload into a familiar white screen stating FASTBOOT
Now here's something else I figured out... Not quite sure, maybe APX mode?
With the Burst powered off, if USB Debugging is disabled and you plug it into your computer, some useless drivers are enabled (at least for root purposes):
Network Adapters > Pantech Android MDM WWAN
Portable Devices > F:\
Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Pantech Android MDM RMNET Device
Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Pantech Android USB Composite Device
None of these seem too useful for root...
Now boot the Burst, enable USB Debugging, then power down and plug it into your pc again...
In addition to the above, I now have:
Portable Devices > G:\
Android Phone > Pantech Android ADB Interface Ver1
And with that said, I have a working adb connection from a command line without booting into the device...
Also F:\ & G:\ show up in Windows as removable disks, but they cannot be accessed.
Tried to manually push/run GingerBreak, psneuter, and zergRush, so far nothing will root this device
Any updates in progress?

I too am awaiting a strategy for rooting this device but so far, nothing i have tried will work. In order for this to happen, we're going to have to build a custom recovery and/or kernel for this phone and that is not the easiest thing to do lol.... Im currently working on installing my own custom kernel for the Burst so i will keep updates on how that goes and when it will be ready as a flashable .zip package. So far i have foumd the stock kernel pieces wbich now just need to be rebuilt and package into a working kernel with root injected. Im using Sourcery G+ + Lite to build my kernel with the toolchain. If any developers could step forward and help me with this, it would be vreatly appreciated. I have the Toolchain and the kernel.gz file on hand, if anyone is interested in taking a swing at it with me, reply here or drop me a PM.
I just want to say that this is an awesome phone with specs on par if not better than the GSII and other high-end phones that's begging for custom ROMs. It came out a couple of months ago and still NOBODY in the whole internet (Google at least lol) seems to be doing anything on it, I can't even fond stock FWs or official flashing tools...I'm a sad panda
I bought it yesterday for 200$ brand new and no commitment. I think this is a sick price for a dual core Android phone.
As for the rooting, I am willing to help you guys work on root. What kind of things should I do? What is a general strategy when rooting something ?
$200 is a good deal. Where did you get it? I wanna learn about all those kernel, adb ,rooting, cooking roms and stuff. But I'm scared to brick my nexus. Burst is definitely a good phone to try. Benchmark score high too
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I got it from ebay. There are ton's of Bursts with the price range of 200-250$.
It will arrive tomorrow, I will write a little review once I get it
Please do! It's not perfect but with the right ROM (CM9 please!) or at least Root, I think it will be!!
My girlfriend has one. I really like it. The screen is beautiful, much better than my thunderbolt. The default launcher is pretty nice too, simple but works nice. It doesn't have the complex overlay like sense or blur, so I hope they will update quickly with new Android versions.

Meanwhile... There is another Dual Core Pantech that has been rooted.
Here is more info about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426984
Some root method should work, but I rather have CWM and a way back to stock working first! Because I rooted a Pantech Pocket and erased a system file by accident and it didn't boot anymore.
OK, this is possibly the weirdest question I'm ever going to ask but let's get to it. Yes this relates to an iPhone but it is primarily an issue with the fact that it has a strange version of android on it and I don't know where else to ask this question. I've checked, it is not a weird version of iOS, it is a fully fledged version of android that just draws resources i.e. pictures, thumbnails, status bar, etc from the iPhone. I'll start with some background information.
OK, so my friend bought this iPhone 4s from another friend whose brother had completely screwed up the phone by modding it with a Chinese/Japanese modified android. My friend thought he could fix it but apparently not so he asked me to fix it for him. I check the settings and the version of android is V2G.12.03.12, I googled it and it came up with a Chinese/Japanese forum for modding iPhones with android, at least that's what it looked like. This mod has removed iPhone DFU and recovery mode, iTunes can no longer interface with the device and the home button now functions as a back button, the app store has been replaced with google play and the apps on the device are android apps, some of them are in Chinese/Japanese which I can't read so I just avoid them. My friend wants me to get rid of whatever version of android this is and replace it with iOS 7.
What I've done so far
Alright, as soon as I got the phone, I thought I should try DFU mode which is like an extreme recovery mode where you can flash different versions of iOS using iTunes but after trying a few times to enter DFU mode, I quickly realised it didn't exist on this phone anymore lol. So I digging in the settings of the device where I figured out that it wasn't just some modified version of iOS that emulates android, I found out that the android version was called V2G.12.03.12 and so I googled it. This was a fruitless exercise as all the results were in a language I can't comprehend. Then I thought why not try and enter recovery mode (android version) but didn't know how that would work with an iPhone so I installed ROM Toolbox Pro which is how I realised that this device wasn't rooted. Soo, since I didn't know how I was going to root it without recovery mode, I thought I'd try some 1-click root methods. I installed Kingo Android ROOT which seemed to be working at first, it was installing the device driver and then I dropped it while attempting to leave my room and when I came back it told me there was no device connected which was a major pain in the arse. However I concluded that the device driver was successfully installed as my computer was now able to enter the internal storage of the iPhone but iTunes still doesn't detect the device. This lead me to believe that the device can't be rooted because of an issue with the android version. So, after discovering this I thought I'd try ABD to try to boot into recover mode but since I've never had to use it before, I have to download it and apparently it comes with the Android SDK bundle. So I was downloading it when all of a sudden, when it reached 479/480 mb, it told me there was a network error, so I thought alright... let's try this again but alas, everything I try to download from that website gives me a network error right before the download is completed.
So at this point, I'm completely at a loss as to what I should do now, I need to find a way to root the device and to enter recovery mode so I can see what I can do in terms of some how flashing iOS 7 on the device. Please help me lol, there is £10 at stake here so help please :laugh:! And a reputation to upkeep . Thanks for any help that can be given. If this question is in the wrong place please help me move it, if this question is not appropriate for this forum could someone direct me to an appropriate forum to ask this on lol.

Have you tried consulting Google on how to reinstall DFU? I heard it is inside the .ipsw file but I'm not sure about how to put it on your device.
Also, try Google Translate for the websites.

Ah, thank you. I wasn't aware you could reinstall DFU, googling it right now. I'll see how it goes in terms of getting it on the device. Thanks
BUMP, I couldn't find any way to reinstall DFU however I found iOS 7.0.4 for the iPhone 4s but I'm not sure how I'm going to install it without being jailbroken or without DFU mode/iTunes. Help please.

[ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED! - Download and use "ROOT Genius" to root this particular brand of tablet. I have personally tested it and can confirm it works on Firmware revisions: v1.0.07 and v1.0.9! Thanks to "brugos" for finding the fix and bringing it to my attention!]
Hey guys
I do hope I have posted this question in the correct forum, if not I do apologise.
As you can probably tell from the title, I am looking for a way to root my 9.7 inch Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7 tablet (Model: PMP5297C_QUAD).
I have been looking for a way to root this since December, and even though I have found several articles (non English) explaining how to root this device (and have been through all the relevant threads I could find regarding my device on XDA), all of the guides have been for firmware v1.0.3 - my tablet is v1.0.7. I went ahead and tried it anyway, and although CWM installed and launched fine, installing the SuperSU binary via CWM did nothing. It installs, but nothing appears in Android when I reboot, and installing SuperSU from Play Store alerts me that the SuperSU binaries are not installed.
I tried "Kingo Android ROOT" and that wouldn't even detect the device, which isn't surprising as it isn't listed on their website. However somebody on a similar thread (on XDA) suggested that the OP (who has the same tablet as myself) at least try it. I did try it, and sadly it doesn't work.
Device information:
Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7" Tablet
Model Number: PMP5297C_QUAD
Firmware: v1.0.7 (December 2013)
FW Build Number: PMP5297C_QUAD_20131204_V1.0.7
Android Version: 4.2.2
If there is anybody out there who has any idea what to try, then I am willing to listen. If anybody needs any other information, I am more than willing to give it
Cheers guys
Prestigio multipad 4 quantum 9.7
The same here..trying to find a way to root for the new firmware...still haven't got anything...
Yeah... doesn't seem to be a very popular brand of tablet :/ Which is a shame as its pretty damn snappy with the v1.0.7 firmware. I wanna get a resolution changer to work, but none I have tried will work without rooting. Only wanna drop the res for better gaming framerates lol
yeah agree...doesn't seem very popular... I guess we should wait some time more.... did you try rooting with the old firmware and then updating to the new firmware? I guess it wouldn't work anyway....
Nope... from past experience rooting phones updating the firmware breaks the root as v1.0.7 replaced the entire OS if I remember...
Tried the root for v1.0.3 while using v1.0.7... ClockWorkMod installed and works fine, but the SuperSU binary doesn't work/install It was a gamble incase it screwed anything up but luckily it didn't - however, it also didn't work
And yeah, looks like we will need to wait a while longer... I do hope someone out there somewhere knows what to do lol Just gotta find them or wait for them to find us lol
Hey dude...you still haven't find root? If not try with root genious... I got root now on my tablet...running the latest firmware 1.0.9
Regards!
Ah man! You are AMAZING! lol
I almost gave up trying to find a root - until now!
I had no idea that there was a new FW released a few weeks back, just updated it and downloaded "ROOT Genius" - worked first time!
Excellent work there dude, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to share it with me, and the rest of the people out there who have been in the same situation as us who are still looking for a fix!
Now we have it! Excellent work!
You welcome!
Just curious what are you going to do to your tablet having root now?
Do you know if there is any posibility to install any rom or something like that?
Also knowing Prestigio I guess would be hard to find some updates hmmm
Hey man
Well the main reason I wanted to root first of all was to adjust the resolution of the display, it has a beautiful high resolution display as you know but some games... the FPS leave a lot to be desired. After doing some reading, some posts suggested lowering the display resolution to increase FPS - and the only way to do that was to root the device.
I did try one app, but it went a bit wrong lol. I was hoping it would readjust the resolution and resize the interface accordingly... instead it ended up changing the resolution, but the interface stayed MASSIVE. The device was inoperable and keep getting a "UI Error" constantly popping up making it unusable at all lol. Had to reflash and re-root so I am looking for another option
Beyond that, I have used custom ROMs in the past on my Android phones, but as far as I know, I believe there is only one ROM out there for our tablet and its based on CyanogenMOD I think... I may be wrong, but I thought I read something somewhere about it. Apart from that though, I am not really sure what else I will do now it is rooted Will open the door to some other apps for certain, but the OS itself seems fine and since the new firmware (v1.0.9) - it feels even faster than before!
What do you have in mind?
Yeah I noticed the issue of FPS in some games.... Well I didn't do many things yet I instaled Xposed and some modules.... and also I removed the navingation bar...is just that I dont like the way the navigation bar and status bar are together... thats why I was searching for another rom also which could have not the Ice cream sandwich bar.
I've found this: crewrktablets.arctablet.com where there are some roms with kit kat that may be work for our tablet but nothing confirmed yet...so I'm not sure if I'm gonna try it
and yeah with the new firmware is much faster thats cool.... but I'm almost sure will be forever in 4.2.2
It worked with MULTIPAD 4 QUANTUM 10.1PMP5101C-QUAD with last firmware too.
Hello,
I really cant install drivers to windows OS (Win 8). I downloaded official drivers from prestigio website: http://www.prestigio.com/news/firmware_updates/New_Firmware_Update_for_MultiPad_4_Quantum_9_7

You've got some drivers here: http://storage29-free.uloz.to/Ps;Hs...7c-cwm-v6-0-3-zip?bD&c=1822785863&De&redirs=1
It's also root and cwm. But there is driver folder too. Even for windows 8. It might work.
Here are some instructions maybe you did something wrong
1. On tablet set the usb-connection-style to 'mass storage'. Settings, Memory-3 dots in the upper right corner- choose Mass storage
2. Turn off the tablet.
3. Connect the usb cable with PC and tablet.
4. HOLD DOWN the (volume +) key and turn the device on(still holding the vol.+) until you get a notice(driver not successfuly installed) on your PC.
5. Use the Manual(found in the downloaded folder) to install a proper driver. Or.: Go to Start-My Computer-Right click on it-Properties-Device Manager-Other devices-Unknown device-Update Driver- In the window browse the computer for the specific driver(that's why you need to know your systems pc)
Good luck.

Ok, i tried those drivers too but no success. I think maybe i need other OS.
I have developers options ON and USB debugging turned ON. (I think that should be turned ON)
P.S. I changed to mass storage and program did recognize the tablet but when i clciked switch (tablet turned OFF) and then it did not recognize anymore - i think problems with drivers.
Update to 1.0.9
Hello again,
I finally made it
Here is the thing:
1) Download this update (1.0.9): http://de05.dl.prestigio.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMP5297C_QUAD/PMP5297C_20140425_v1.0.9.zip from @yoyo97 (thanks)
2) Dont use drivers in folder /Drivers_x32 or /Drivers_x64
Instead go to /tools/Driver (and use this one x86 or x64 - depends on your OS)
3) Follow instructions in manual:
start RKBatchTool.exe and if icon is not green click Switch. Wait for tablet to shutdown and you should get green icon. (if this doesnt help turn off your tablet manualy and press AND hold volume + button for about 6-7 seconds DONT release and plug in USB cable then you should get notification on windows and green icon in RKBatchTool.exe)
4) Choose the firmware image and click upgrade.
5) let the software do the trick
6) profit
7) for rooting i used an android app called kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ just download the app on tablet. When you start it just click root and let the app do the trick.
After around 2-4min your tablet should be rooted.
I was using windows 7 (x86)
If you need any information please let me know and I will be glad to help
Have a nice day,

Hi DyXen
Tried it all, but cannot get rockusb.inf to work on Windows 10 64-bit. I see two devices in my device manager after connecting the tablet, POrtable Device PMP5297C_QUAD and Android Composite ADB Interface. Have tried forcing the bundled Win8 x64 rockusb.inf on to both devices but keep getting "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I have also tried DriverAssistant v4.4 and it installed the drivers OK.
Even tried copying the IMG and ZIP files to SD card and applying via recovery. Nothing works. My tablet is still stuck on 1.0.3 and is sluggish as a snail. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Could you solve it? Cause I have the same problem
Hello,
I download from the ASUS website the firmware with version "V10.4.2.18 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.1)" and the pop-up for update de firmware appear normally to me.
Then, the TF201 restarted and since then does not passes through the ASUS Logo.
I Was on 4.0.0.3, firmware 9.4.2.28 and tried to upgrade to a superior version (my mistake as I can see now).
Even when restarting with Power + VOL DOWN the only thing that appears is :
----......................
The Device is Unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "WW_epad-9.4.2.28-20120525" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image
-----------
And stays here forever... No option with the 3 icons, so I can choose USB... And neither the VOL UP during this process does nothing...
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance
Looks like you updated to an incompatible version. The first thing you needed to do was to unlock the bootloader. Volume up will not work unless you specifically enable nvflash, which is the second thing you needed to do. Considering that you still have usb, you may be able to use fastboot to replace your recovery. From there you may still be able install an older rom. If you can get at least some kind of rom running, you'll want to enable nvflash first thing so that you can make your tablet bricksafe. Let us know if you get that far...

I installed the drives and the PC recognizes the TF-201.
But it seems that fastboot can't recognize the tablet.
Well, I didn't get so far...
But I still want to try, but I'm a little lost...
Any help?

From my PC device manager I can see the asus transformer Prime APX Interface and is saying that "This device is working properly.".
However, every command that I sent from fastboot the result is always the same:
< waiting for device >
I'm completely out of ideas to get this back to work...
THATS BAD do u have working adb ?
No i don't...
HOW to Reserruct from APX mode^
HI all,
I have been searching for months how to unbrick the tf201 after trying to load the official update from Asus.
I see so many users stuck like myself in APX mode with the "unlocked" message and Asus Logo.
I have tried in all described ways on the forums to get it to fastboot mode but nothing is helping.
Asus as many have written, are charging a lot for repair, I even bought another used one hoping I could upload the saved blob file from it but it is device related as I read. Is there any solution that will help?
I see a lot of advanced users creating roms and upgrades but never proposing how to unbrick this device in APX mode.
Thank you for all developers here who take the time to push things forward. :angel:

Logicmate, seems there is no help how to unbrick the tf201 in APX mode...
Did you get lucky meanwhile?
Where to begin? Logic would dictate, the beginning.
I'll do my best to be brief with the backstory.
Months ago I ordered a Jide Ultratablet to use as my portable workhorse. At first things were peachy until a rather monumental lag began to manifest every 15-45 seconds. It made the device impossible to utilize in any productive fashion, so I contacted Jide and opened up a support ticket. After months (in no way an exaggeration) of barely responsive correspondence, during which I sent them a video to demonstrate the problem, they finally came back to me with an email containing a link to a compressed folder containing the Remix 2.0 images, and also a link to a rather vague and complicated tutorial on how to flash Remix 1.5 manually to a device. (In fact, I tried to include a link to the tutorial, but I am unable to since I haven't posted to the forum enough. I am happy to PM it or email it to anyone who might like to help) I can only assume I am meant to apply the same logic to the Remix 2.0 files they sent me. Seemed a bit dicey at first glance, but while I'm by no means an expert, I'm no slouch in this arena and I'm a very quick study.
Now, on to the proverbial meat and potatoes:
If you were able to contact me for a link to the tutorial in question, you will have undoubtedly seen that they indicate one should use ADB-Fastboot as a means to flash the recovery image. No real surprises there. I have ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC (Windows 10). I also have the ADB drivers installed and have confirmed the addition to my PATH. (eg: ;C:\ADB) I can also confirm that it is working fine since I am able to pull up a terminal and issue the ADB command and it gives me the usual wall of commands. The problem is that my device (Ultratablet) is not being seen by ADB. I have checked my USB drivers and they are all up to date and installed properly. My PC sees the device no problem and there is no indication of any sort of connection error. I've also tried different cables and ports. Yet, I can't access it via ADB and thus am unable to issue commands to my device such as "adb reboot bootloader" or "fastboot reboot-bootloader".
My next logical approach was to attempt forcing the device into fastboot mode using the hardware button combination, which is not listed specifically for the Ultratablet anywhere, I might add. (Power key + Volume up) It brings me to a boot options menu with the selections "Continue/Fastboot Protocol/Recovery Kernel/Reboot/Poweroff/Forced Recovery". Ateempting to select Fastboot Protocol causes the display to shut off for a moment, the device to vibrate once, and then the display to turn back on back at the same menu full of selections.
So, in summary, I am expected to flash the device using fastboot and yet I can't even get the device into fastboot mode, let alone issue commands from my PC terminal. As I highlighted near the beginning, teh Jide support team is incredibly unresponsive and not overly helpful. I have notified them of this same set of issues, but I don't expect to hear back in any expedient fashion and I thought one of the mighty members here on XDA might be able to help me come up with a next step in the meantime. I'd cerainly love to be able to use my shiny new tablet.
In any case, thank you for your time.
Kind regards.

Bump? Anyone? Still swinging in the breeze on this one. No word back from the manufacturer, as expected. =/
I have the same problem

I know it's been 4 years but did you find any solution to this? I'm asking because I have the same problem. I decided to downgrade to Remix OS 1.5 in order to root (I have tried 5 rooting apps with no success) but my device refuses to enter fastboot protocol. The whole idea was since I can't find a way to root the damn thing in its current state maybe I can manage it with its older OS version. All this just to turn it to android root apps "testing ground" device. Oof.
