[Q] Prestigio 5770D rooting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I've been looking around the forum (and elsewhere online) for anyone who was able somehow to root the
Prestigio PMP5770D Duo tablet. It has stock ICS 4.0.4.
I'm a complete newbie in regards to tablets but I've been playing around with the X10 for a long time.
I'm thinking of using Flashtool to try and root it somehow, instead of the ADB shell which zimmbadroid tried already.
The only issue i am facing now is:
Since it is not rooted, i cannot use Titanium backup (or any other tool) to fully backup it, in case anything will go wrong
while trying to root it.
Does anyone else here (which is much experienced with rooting tablets) have any other ideas?
I'm always open to new suggestions.
Primary concern is HOW to fully backup it, in order to restore it to its current state (if anything goes wrong).
Thanks in advance.

I have same tablet, and same problem

I have rooted Prestigio PMP 5570C today
It was difficult, because system filesystem hasn't free space to copy su and superuser binaries to it.
I decomposed update.img to system.img boot.img kernel.img etc.
Next I mounted system.img as ext4 partition and delete some unnecessary apk with reclaiming free space (rm -rf filename).
Next I copied su binaries and set permisions and owner to it.
Finally I have unmount system.img and flash it back to tablet by RK30update without creating update.img back.
5570C has fortunately firmware to flash it by Rockchip Batch tool - thus it is easy modify it and this kind of firmware is necessary to unbrick tablet in any case.
5770D hasn't those kind of firmware - it has only SD card based update image.
I would try upload firmware from 5770D to 5570C (it is safe, because I have Rockchip batch tool friendly image to flash original FW back)
by converting it to system.img kernel.img and system.img files and upload them by RK30update tool.

Hello zimmbadroid!
In the settings I find the following (cut some lengthy entries to what i believe is essential):
Model: PMP5770D
Android-Version: 4.0.4
Kernel-Version: 3.0.8-ge04d3bb
Build number: PMP-5770D_20121109_V2.0.14
I flashed the device with a zip-File I downloaded from Prestigio's home-page. This version disappeared when the updated their site in December but I believe it is the same one as this one here (sorry I cannot yet post links) yf.value4it.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMP5770D/PMP5770D_20121109_V2.0.14.zip.
[Wrong]
As far as I remember I installed a terminal emulator APP before using root-Many and executed some commands in the terminal on the tablet when root-Many asked to do so in the terminal on the PC.
[/Wrong]
Edit: It seems I did not remember correctly . After looking at RunMe.sh, and at my tablet (found some left-over's from the rooting process) I believe I did in fact use the "Special Mode". I also installed the terminal emulator. But the special mode uses its own Term.apk.
Hope that helps somehow,
tungdil

Edit: Did you lose any of your data in root process?

No, not that I am aware of. However, the number of apps installed while rooting was quite limited, and no private data such as e-mail addresses, etc. on the tab.
Hope it's gonna work for you as well...

Hello guys,
Tried the root many android but it did not work for me.
I actually tried it in the past, but thought hey, whats one more time?
Does anybody have any news on this?
I'm seriously considering selling it and purchasing the 8' one which seems to be easily rootable.
The fact is that i am quite pleased with its performance.
BR,
Eros

Hello dta1eros,
did you try it using Windows or Linux? It seems I am the only one here who could successfully root the 5770D with rootMany (I used Linux); had ICS 4.0.4 installed. Very strange
Where in the process did you get stuck? What was the result?
Regards,
tungdil
P.S.: Maybe using the tool multiple times, as described in here (sorry still cannot post external links: rootzwiki.com/topic/34162-root-kindlefire-7hd-probably-the-other-2ndgen-kindlefire/#entry1054645) would help? The guy wrote:
... failed the first few times, but selecting normal mode and running the exploit 5-6 times finally got me root.

Note: I also checked the "qemu-method" described in the post, but right now think it won't work. However, after multiple reboots the behaviour of the tablet changed (didn't complete Android start-up until I removed /data/local.prop again). That's what makes me believe running the tool multiple times could help.

PMP5770D Duo rooted!
Hello all,
To any owners of PMP5770D DUO still looking to root their device, it has finally worked! Confirmed just now - 14/3/2013.
Its been a while now, so i thought to come back and see if there were any updates regarding this request i posted.
After going through this thread, i noticed also that the "Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 11.03.2013]" had been updated.
So, i downloaded the latest version "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21" from the respective thread.
Extracted contents to a folder easy to go to via command line, and run the batch file. (RunMe.bat)
My suggestion is it would be better to open a command prompt and execute the batch file (not double clicking it from explorer)
This way, if anything goes wrong or process gets stuck you may see whats happening.
Anyways, lets get on with it.
Before proceeding, make sure tablet has Debugging ON and ALL ADB drivers are installed on your computer.
I performed this on Win7 x64 just fine. The tablet info is exactly as i bought it:
Model number: PMP5770D
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.8-ge04d3bb [email protected] #98
Build number: PMP5770D_20121109_V2.0.14.IMM761.user.root.20121109 (this is dumb's prestigio latest release)
I will post the entire procedure here so this will be quite long. At certain points, you will see that there are sections starting and ending
with these {{ and }} . This is me explaining what actually is happening to the tablet so in case it happens to you as well, then don't worry.
At some points you may see errors like "FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS". This is because i actually had run this process more than once
while trying different options etc until i got it working. So, if anything needs mentioning, it will be in {{ }}.
Also, in Bold text are the options i selected through out this batch file.

Need to reboot now!

{{ RIGHT AT THIS POINT, tablet did reboot but root process was stuck here}}

{{ from the tablet and plug it back in - while this command window was open}}
{{ after that, the process proceeded as follows}}
Unlock your device, a Terminal will show now, type this 2 lines, after each line press ENTER

{{ I tried switching to root, even searched for any onload.sh files in the whole filesystem, }}

You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! Have fun!
Bin4ry
Press any key to continue . . .
{{ and here is where the batch file process ends }}
After the whole process was done, i didn't expect anything to happen, but in any case
i thought i'd check with Root Checker - to see if anything had changed.
To my suprise, it seems that this new updated version of Root many android worked.
So, download from the forum the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21" from POST "Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 11.03.2013]"
To sum it up,
I would like to personally say THANK YOU to all contributors for this!
I know i speak on behalf of all PMP5770D DUO owners who have been waiting for this for a while.
To the forum Admins, you may now close this thread or POST somewhere a Sticky that this has been resolved.
Also, if you have a list, please update it --> PMP5770D DUO rooted successfully!
Thanks again and if anyone has trouble doing it, please PM me anytime for help.

Have you tried going back to ICs and then running the rooting tool?
I've also upgraded to Jelly Bean and its also failing to root, I'm going to go back to ICS and retry.

i also have JB and also failing to root i might have to downgrade to ics to root my device but JB has some extra features i need for e.g wifi sleep when in stand by, if anyone knows a way to root JB please post on this thread as it is needed
i was wondering if there is any flash recovery mods available for this device as i have rooted my HTC Sensation XL using the flash recovery and that worked fine, i know you have to unlock the bootloader and i have read in a post somewhere that the new sony tablets are already unlocked (i do not know if this device is unlocked) also is there a way to push/embed the root files needed into the update.zip file so you can update the device with the new firmware already rooted, i am going to look into this more as i only got my tablet yesterday and this is the only thread that i have seem to find anything about the PMP5770D
if anyone has trouble finding ADB drivers for this device i installed them using the google Nexus 7 drivers
Device: PMP 5770D
Android Ver: JB 4.1.1
FW ver: 2.0.25
