Hi all.
I recently acquired a Trio M4302 4.3 inch Internet Tablet to try Android out, being a long time iOS user. My question is this. I'm looking for a way to a.) Get Google Play running on here, and b.) either flash a phone ROM or to turn on phone mode in ICS because the tablet interface is just too big for this little screen.. does anyone know of anything? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
I just picked this tablet up. I have successfully rooted it and have installed a working Play Store. I now have access to all my apps that I use on my Galaxy Note 10.1.
To root I used the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Once I had root I wanted to get Google Play Store on the tab. I found a couple of places that had information concerning adding Play Store to other devices and kind of pieced the info together to come up with this solution.
1. Download gapps for ICS. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
2. Unzip file
3. Navigate to the " System/app " folder and find "phonesky.apk and setupwizard.apk"
(You will need to copy these two files to your tablet)
4. Once files are on tablet use something like "Root Explorer" to copy both to the "system/app" folder of the tablet.
(The folders will need to be mounted as "R/W" so they can be written to )
5. After the files are copied to the proper folder, you need to edit the permissions for both.
6. In "Root Explorer" long press on each file and choose "permissions"
7. Edit permissions to read "Owner: Read, Write" "Group: Read" "Others: Read"
8. Reboot and launch Play Store
Hope it works for you!

My Trio won't boot
It doesn't boot after enabling quickboot.
EDIT: Wait... I just flashed the Allwinner A10 ROM. I hope it works. Boot takes very very long and will not end in looping!
EDIT 2: It works... the touchscreen just didn't work and freezes when loading with SD Card.
NOW I DON'T HAVE A STOCK ROM FOR TRIO! I SPENT $60 FOR A BRICKED DEVICE!

8:44 - Oh crap... Boot animation froze. WHAT DID I DO!?!?
8:45 - Bootloop confirmed.
NOW I DON'T HAVE A STOCK ROM FOR TRIO! I SPENT $60 FOR A BRICKED DEVICE! So I burned it.

Contact the manufacturer and maybe they can help. I just rooted and kept the stock rom. Sorry for your misfortune.

I'll try. I just flashed CM9 for AllWinnerTablets. I said I burned it just for expressing my emotion. I'll try to get a replacement or return it.
EDIT: I'll TRY to return it. But I'll see if I can replace it first, since it's on a one-year warranty. I have a reciept and kept it safe.
Don't know about Walmart, but you could try to return it

Can anyone help me get my TABLET S (non-XPERIA) back to the pre-Revision 5 release of 4.0.3?
I HATE, HATE, HATE R5. Took away so many things that I was using, and I want to go back.
I already called SONY and was told I can't go back. I told the guy...I will find a way - and hung up.
I am sure it can be done....just need to find the software and the steps to do it.

Simple as. Change vendor/vendor.prop incremental to a lower number and flash an older update.zip
Or use AIO and install rescue back door, boot loop protection.
Manually flash either 120803002 or 120410004.zip
Done

While I appreciate the reply, which gives you credit for a post (yes - I know how these forums work), I asked for the steps and software. I know it can be done, as I did it to my DroidX phone and had someone give me step by step instructions (rather directed me to a post he had done a year before with had everything I needed in one place).
I am talking real steps 1)...2)...3)... and links to the files. Not just some partial filenname which sends me on a goose chase.
Someone in another forum directed me to download signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip but then gave me nothing more - like do I put it on an SD CARD and do something with it. How do I get into BootLoader mode so that I can apply it, etc. I have already paid for a couple of apps that I used when I did my phone - I am sure that they might work for my tablet as well.
I am no idiot, do not need Crayola drawings, but at least 6th grade steps and locations on how to do this.
I cannot believe that for $350.00 that I just paid for the table SONY would tell me you can't do it - nor do they offer a manner to go back to the previous level (1 step) if you do not like the ROM that got installed.
4.0.3 (r5) is for the birds....takes away some of the best features of the reason I bought the SONY Tablet S over something else.
While I do appreciate, and do thank/reward those that help me - I think I need a little more than a simple 3 line response.

If you KNEW these forums you would know that we do not take kindly to those who do not use the SEARCH function. It is there so we don't have to repeat ourselves over and over again.
None the less.
If you can't manage this then take it in to Sony saying that you are having issues with the camera (they will restore it to original 3.2 software)
Step One
Root your device.
See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step Two
Use AIO to 'Install "rescue-backdoor" [anti-bootloop protection].'
First you want to download, then extract to a folder, then double-click on S.onyTablet.S.bat, this will open a menu, enter '4' then press enter then enter '1' and press enter again. MAGIC, you have now decreased your incremental, well done.
Step 3
See my Update Links NOTE: ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME, others had no problem with it
Find the update you require to flash, you want signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip or for you highness LINK
Step 4
Copy signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip to your SD card. Google how to if you don't know
Step 5
Put SD card back into tablet and boot into recovery. See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step 6
Leave tablet to boot into R1A
Step 7
Be happy and click the fricken Thanks button.
P.S this is not hard stuff
Stifilz,
Thank you so very much for the long post. I was going cross-eyed looking for something like that...surprised that no-one has STICKY'd that one.
So I checked out #1 - followed the directions in FAQ to put the ADB path into the my DOS PATH statement (ahhhhh. the good old days - DOS). I can go to the DOS prompt and type 'adb' from any directory and it will bring up the ADB menu - hence it is working.
So I went to the task manager and verified that ADB.EXE was not listed. I typed ADB DEVICES (lower case) and it gave me the following:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Windows\system32>:
I made sure that the SONY TABLET is seen - I unplugged from the computer and re-plugged, Windows bonks and wants to know if I want to browse the device. I have made sure the USB DEBUGGING is enabled on the device (before I connect it - had that problem with my DROIDX). Still the ADB 0.29 is not seeing the SONY TABLET S.
Any Ideas why?
When I try running the RUNME.BAT file I get the following:
D:\ROOT_W_RESTORE>runme
======================================================================
= This script will root your Android phone with adb restore function =
= Script by Bin4ry (thanks to Goroh_kun and tkymgr for the idea) =
= Idea for Tablet S from Fi01_IS01 =
= (02.10.2012) v13 =
======================================================================
Device type:
1) Normal
2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)
x) Unroot
Make a choice: 2
Special mode:
1) Root
2) Rollback
Make a choice: 1
Tablet S mode enabled!
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
and it just sits there...left it for 20 minutes while I was making dinner. Should I have the power plugged in at the same time? Do I need to enable the STAY AWAKE setting?
Your guidance is again requested.
Please ignore my previous response. I really am not an ass - I was getting frustrated during my 2+ hours search not finding a message such as yours with the steps laid out like that - without making you bounce from one post to another - to another, it was like a scavenger hunt.
Again accept my thanks and my apologies.

Hey...THANKS. not sure why I did not catch that the tablet did not show as adb device, as I had to do the same thing when I rooted my DroidX...I guess I assumed that it would do it from that install.
Again thanks...now lets see if I can get the 4.0.3 (pre-R5) back on the tablet.
SO FAR SO GOOD. Weird that the SD card does not show from the tablet with it in the SD slot on the tablet like it does on my DROIDX. You can copy files to and from the SD Card in the phone without taking it out.
See...you can teach an old bear new tricks.
Stifilz,
On last step of your instructions...have one question.
What is the difference between this signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip that you mention and the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip that I also downloaded from another forum message I was reading?

stifilz,
Well I was successful...but it killed my ROOT. I got to playing with the new load, and it looks to have kept a bunch of my apps and some settings, but some of the apps do not work well.
I take it that if I go though the process again and choose to NOT RESTORE, it will put it back to OUT OF BOX configuration?
I do not have a lot of customizations that I will have a problem re-doing to get it back to O-O-B configuration. All of my apps can be pulled back off GOOGLE PLAY. Learning that is advantageous to have a GOOGLE PLAY account for each device (he he).
There are a lot of apps that I have noticed on GOOGLE PLAY that say not compatible with my device. Any known reason why? I figured that open source was open source.
I saw in the AIO that you can change the device type of your tablet to something else. Have you ever tried that? Does it seem to work?
I have also read that the UK models have a slot for a SIM card. Do you know if the US models have it to - just maybe inside and inaccessible?
I am loving the tablet....but find that now that I am back on the 4.0.3 my media files on my HTPC will not play. I find this wierd. The 4.0.3 update - according to the SONY site, says it improves the H.264 file playing...and nothing is mentioned about any changes in the R5 update.
Also one thing I noticed about the R5 load was it would sometimes just turn OFF the tablet. No reason or rhyme to it. Ever hear of that?
I may wind up going back up - if I cannot get them to play...have yet to try copying one to the SD card and playing it. But all of them used to play before I went back down.
Been looking into codecs too - but most of the processing of streamed DLNA stuff is done on the host machine [ putting on the Sherlock Holmes outfit again ]
Thank again for all your insight.

If you use MX player it will play most files. Regarding the apps have you checked the unknown sources in the settings?

bearhntr, I have been struggling trying to get my tablet to show up when I type in adb devices. I was having the same problem you had before you wrote this post. I followed the directions in Bluechips post for the ADB installer (very huge thanks for all those who develop these things to make it easier) and even did step by step with the video. I have also tried other methods to get ADB to work.
Long story short, did you do anything different than listed in Bluechips post to achieve success in getting your computer to see your tablet as an ADB device?
Thanks!

Esonnen,
I followed the steps from BLUECHIPS direction step by step. Are you seeing the tablet at all in the Windows Device manager? Mine was showing up in the device manager - but not correctly until I installed the drivers.
I right mouse button clicked on the SONY TABLET S entry in the device manager in Windows and chose UPDATE DRIVER...then pointed it to the extracted AdbWinUsbApi.dll file. Followed the prompts and after that the SONY TABLET was listed in an new CATEGORY called ANDROID PHONE, as ANDROID COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE.
I found that if I did not get it to show as this in the DEVICE MANAGER, nothing I tried with ADB or other tools that used that software would work. This was the same problem I had when I was working with my DROIDX. I had thought that by getting the DROIDX to work properly in the rooting process - that the tablet would as well. It was the simple act of changing the driver to the AdbWinUsbApi.dll that fixed it.

I had already tried that player and it also downloaded the ARMv7 CODEC set to the tablet.
This player may work fine...but it wants the files to be LOCAL to the device or streamed from a WEBPAGE type arena.
I want something that will stream DLNA (the tablet sees all three of my Windows DLNA device and my Sony STR-DN1020 receiver) using the DLNA services that are in 4.0.3. It even shows me the folders on my HTPC. I can also list the movies on it. Where the 4.0.3(r5) showed an actual thumbnail of the first frame of the .M4V files - the 4.0.3 shows what appears to be a set of hotair balloons.
Touching one of the files yields the following error: "INVALID MEDIA - PLAYBACK NOT SUPPORTED" These files play fine on the HTPC and my D-LINK DSM-750 Media Center Extender (and in 5.1 audio). Generally with DLNA the decoding is handled at the source PC, not the playback device. I find this weird too.
Maybe I will try copying one of these files to the device and try playing it from there....try and narrow it down.
GORDO79,
Not sure what has happened, but my Tablet S is now playing the videos from my HTPC. The details of all the videos hows VIDEO CODEC: UNKNOWN and AUDIO CODEC: UNKNOWN, but all of them seem to be playing.
I searched the GOOGLE PLAY STORE, but do not find any codecs listed there other than the ones for various players.
I am so happy now that I can play my videos and I think I will be able to THROW them to my DSM-750 (Media Center Extended) until I can get a BRAVIA TV (hint hint Santa).
Much thanks for everyone's help.

stifilz,
Again many thanks for your help with this. Not sure why the ROOT broke when I did the deed (and I was successful), but I tried to get my root back following your steps again (other than flashing with the .ZIP from the SD card), and I cannot seem to get my ROOT back. Neither the AIO or the ROOT W/RESTORE works.
I wanted to use the AIO to turn off the OTA prompt and run a few of the tweaks, but each time I run it - the screen goes red and tells me I have to ROOT.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Much Thanks

sony tablet s 4.0.3 r5?
Personally I know that many people come to know about looking for it and I've spent hours and hours looking for a way to rooted my tablet and still nothing ...
Really there is still no way to update the sony tablet s 4.0.3 r5?
Nor has the downgrade to another rom?
I've looked almost everywhere but to no avail. help me.
A friend of mine picked up a Proscan PLT7044k. Great cheap tablet from BigLots they wanted to gift me as a late birthday present. Sure it's cheap, but cheap can be good right? Especially if it's a backup device or something to tinker with.
Trouble is we're running into some issues. Fine. Great it's a cheap Chinese tablet. We both get that we're not expecting nexus or ipad mini or even kindle fire quality. However GetJar is, apparently, not working correctly, Amazon Marketplace (which it was linked to in the device) will not let you change settings, and My friend isn't wanting to try rooting to get google play working just yet because we're not sure if the Thread found on the matter has all the bugs worked out.
This Thread seems to be closest to what 'we' want but the model number is different (it's supposed t obe the same device save for the one we're working with included a hardware keyboard/case, but one never knows.)
Of Note when queried my friend only saw a one gig internal storage device instead of the four gig advertised and described the external media slot as a SD slot instead of a micro-sd.
So, since I am, for the moment, treating this device as different and not wanting to risk bricking before info can be gained on if it's worht keeping or taken back, trying to figure out the following:
Very minimum how does one get google play on this gizmo.
Is there anything that can be done about the touch screen lag?
Is there a CyanogenMod port that will work or other custom rom that might help with the issues of lag?
Any advice would be welcome/useful. Even 'RTFM' with links to other threads.
Edit: Be Aware my 'primary' computer is running linux (peppermint OS3, ubuntu 12.04 based distro.)
I just got this tablet. You have root accesses out of the box. There are 2 ways I have installed play store. Through root explorer and through adb push. google gapps for jellybean. here is the manual and firmware proscanvideo.com/item.asp?itemnmbr=PLT7044K . I can make a tute anyone needs.
I ended up taking mine back and getting a Nook Touch. Sure I'll still need to root the thing to get much use out of it beyond being an e-reader but even with it not-rooted it's still actually a pretty good experiance.
Sorry Icouldn't be a trailblazer to anyone getting a proscan and wanting to improve on it.
a noob, but I honestly have tried...

ok, I have tried very VERY hard to find out how to root my proscan plt7044k. I've tried following the few links that I have found, and have found them to be broken. Or the items just won't download onto my computer or just flat don't work. It appears that what I have to do is to find a driver for this thing so that my computer can recognize it, and the Curtis website doesn't give any driver information. Yes, I did download their manuals and tech material, and they DON'T WORK. All they provide is a powerpoint thing that says to "find program x, do y, etc", without providing that program. I cannot find a driver for this p.o.s. ANYWHERE, nor any that would work for an earlier model and then also "might" work for mine.
I really want to get rid of the "getjar" crap, as well as all of the bloatware that google puts into these things!

However GetJar is, apparently, not working correctly, Amazon Marketplace (which it was linked to in the device) will not let you change settings, and My friend isn't wanting to try rooting to get google play working just yet because we're not sure if the Thread found on the matter has all the bugs worked out.
This Thread seems to be closest to what 'we' want but the model number is different (it's supposed t obe the same device save for the one we're working with included a hardware keyboard/case, but one never knows.)
Of Note when queried my friend only saw a one gig internal storage device instead of the four gig advertised and described the external media slot as a SD slot instead of a micro-sd.
So, since I am, for the moment, treating this device as different and not wanting to risk bricking before info can be gained on if it's worht keeping or taken back, trying to figure out the following:
Very minimum how does one get google play on this gizmo.
Is there anything that can be done about the touch screen lag?
Is there a CyanogenMod port that will work or other custom rom that might help with the issues of lag?
Any advice would be welcome/useful. Even 'RTFM' with links to other threads.
Edit: Be Aware my 'primary' computer is running linux (peppermint OS3, ubuntu 12.04 based distro.)

You can side load the Play Store, also, what version of Android is the tablet running?

You probably have a driver problem. I use ADB Konnect (wireless ADB) To push over wifi.
Is there any possible way to flash a custom ROM to it the factory ROM has too much crap on it memory wise?

I Titanium backup to uninstall the bloat. You also can use Root explorer or adb to rename the apk extension of the bloat to get rid of the eyesore

proscan 7" tablet.
you kngoo root, make sure your using windows...anything past vista.
i used wkindows 7 or 8 from an internet cafe and my proscan is plt7602g and it worked fine...i even reset from the android service menu (green dead dude) and it worked but make sure most of all that you have the verify apps off so you can root it. because it will still be a danger to ur tablet. there is always a bricking chance, one you instakll kingoo root and run the program plug in ur tablet press root and the app takes care of it all. and if you google kingoo app or kingoo root it will show a main website and go from there
i got my proscan PLT1077G and i haven't found a **** yet i want to change my tablet android OS but don't have a developer who can help us with this one i think proscan is not that popular

The tablet is semi rooted out of the box it only needs supersu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053). You need to adb push this file.

so much for this method - I used kingo root for windows, slow but works. just go grab a beer and come back in ten.
Hello everyone,
I was about to root my SCH-I905 (with ICS 4.0.4) according to this tutorial (starting at Step 5), like it was mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1918823. Now the tablet won't boot anymore. It's stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab" Screen. I still can access download or (CWM) recovery mode. I think if I can install another kernel, it would probably work again BUT as I can't boot the tablet, I don't know how to put any files onto the interal storage. Has any buddy a solution to my problem? Please help!
Thanks,
Kerstin
On 3.1 now.. how do I get on FE01?
Hi again,
ok, so I found a way to flash back to stock rom version EG01 (3.1) via Odin and the tablet does boot again. I can't do a software update (probably because I don't have a Verizon sim card since I live in Germany), so I need to update the tablet manually. Can I immediately update to FE01? If so, can somebody tell me where to get the FE01 software? Could not find it.
Thanks,
Kerstin
Problem solved
After hours of search I wasn't able to find a FE01 firmware. Although I sometimes read, that it was recommened to update to CM10.1 only from FE01 (because of the modem files and so on) I decided to give it a try. The worst thing I could have gotten was a brick and as I was stuck on 3.1 without access to homescreen or app drawer (because of the missing verizon card and tablet activation) I was quite desperate.
I couldn't get a connecting via usb to my computer to place any installation file onto the tablet. But I could access the tablet settings and so I added my google account and installed the ES file explorer via google play using my computer and this "remote installation function" of the play store. The I put the latest cm10.1 nightly for the SCH-I905 onto my smartphone via bluetooth... man that took a lot of time :laugh:. Of course the file was in the wrong direction but after the ES file explorer installation I could open the app via google play (which I only could access through the information pop-up) and paste the file into the sdcard directory. Using odin I installed CWM and installed the CM10.1 nightly.
I realize, that this case is reeeally rare. Why should someone outside the US get a Verizon tablet? Well, I bought it at a lost&found auction from the airport. It was quite cheap (because they said it could not be activated) but I thought that there must be any solution to that problem. And allthough my solution surely wasn't the most elegant of all, I'm happy to at least own a wifi-capable Jelly Bean tablet now.
I own a rooted Asus Transformer Prime TF201 table with JB 4.1.1 (original), and have probably done something stupid... please help this Noob, as I've read so much when looking for answers the last 2 days -- now I'm thoroughly confused! (To tell the truth, wasn't that great of a root user before...)
My tablet won't get beyond "Launcher has stopped" error when booting.
I rooted several months ago, installed a custom bootloader graphic (still works), SuperSU, ROM Manager and some other rooted apps. I had flashed cyanogen rom "9" (I think) -- the stable one for Asus -- and was running fine. I thought I had done a nandroid backup (file on SD card).
Then I created my problem: I had messed around with the LED settings via ROM Manager, and then I think I changed the build.prop file value for VM heap stack from 256 to 512 ("governor" settings?). (I know, I know -- used to mess around a little with PCs and I should have known better what I was doing!)
Now I can't get homescreens or launch apps, or anything. "Launcher has stopped"
I can power off and power on (using power + volume buttons). My custom bootloader image comes into view after the ASUS logo -- but next I get the "Asus Keyboard is not installed" message with the "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped" message on top of that. Pressing the OK buttom just blinks and back to the errors.
I *can* get get to the settings, though.
Is a new tablet in my future?
Can anyone help me undo this mess I've made?? Help for the Noobs! Oh, and THANK YOU in advance for the trouble!
Hey!
Can you access the recovery mode? If yes:
1. Download the zip file attached to this post;
2. Put the holo.zip file in your sdcard;
3. Enter in recovery mode and flash the zip;
4. Reboot system;
5. Now you get Holo Launcher in your tablet!
Can't See Asus tablet from PC
Thanks for confirming that I am going about trying to fix this in the 'right' way!
I had never installed the SDK / android bridge to my Windows Vista 32-bit PC -- and I did that a couple days ago.
But I am not able to get root connected to the Asus. It shows as MTP device and I can see the sd card (also via Explorer in Windows)
I feel so dumb but I think the tablet can be rescued, if only I knew what to do!
Can you help me -- start from the beginning and help me get my Asus tablet working again??

Sorry, I didn't see your post before.
Why don't you flash the ROM again?
I mean the custom one.

My irulu tablet can't connect with Play Store so I can't download apps and it never did connect with play store. Always can't connect with server. Yes, I know it's cheap, it cost $45 new with shipping. But then, I guess its not so bad to brick it at that price :laugh:
I've tried factory resets, I've successfully rooted it with Kingo but have not been able to find a Gapps file that will run on it. It seems like built in apps are locked in some way as I've not been able to delete them.
On the face of it, it has ok hardware running a QuadCore A33 and 4.4.2. But without the ability to install apps, its pretty much a internet browser at best.
On another post on this forum, it was noted that there are updated drivers the irulu website for download but...they don't install. I've had an identical experience. I download them onto the 32 gb sd card with an adapter and then put them into the tablet. I then do a recovery reboot and load them from the sd card. All the ones on the web site give improperly signed errors. So I unpacked them, repacked them properly signed (thanks xdadevelopers) and got past that error. But still they don't install.
If anyone knows a way to get play store to work, I'd be happy to learn of it. Guessing there is a Gapp zip somewhere that might run but I've not found it and that the bootloader must be unlocked but, again, I've not found a method of doing this.
I'm a newbie with Android stuff but have been building and working with desktops since MS DOS 1.5.
Well..I succeeded in bricking the Irulu. Following the following advice from
wiki cyanogenmod org/w/Template:Unlock_Bootloade
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
The tablet got frozen at the logo stage on the screen and wouldn't continue loading. No keypresses got it going. Opening it up showed the battery hard wired. So I tried shorting that out, nothing. So...it went into my trash where I currently feel Irulu tablets belong.
They must have done something very proprietary to the android operating system.

To be honest I can't... And to be completely honest I dont even remember what it was about.. Those tablets work better as toilet paper Ryde then actual tablets
