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!

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

Guy's the HDX is a fairly new device, the complete line has not even begun shipping yet & development is in it's infancy.
Currently, you can root your device, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you WAIT.
Currently, there are NO, ZERO, NONE, utilities or consistent fixes for soft bricked devices. This is not good, as currently there are several things that can soft brick this device.
In no circumstances should you do any of the following:
Remove apps or any files from the system folder or any sub-directory.
Restore previous veersions of Kindle apps from a Fire HD.
Make any modifications to any of the build.prop settings, or add any lines to the build.prop
Working but not advised at this time:
Adding any files or apks to the system partition or any sub-directory
There are numerous instances of modifications causing bootloops, soft bricks & KILLING ADB access. To my knowledge, I am the only person that has successfully recovered ADB access & for all the money in the world, I could not tell you how.
If you are not extremely proficient with reverse engineering software, or you don't know all the relevant ADB commands because you have been hacking devices for years, I STRONGLY suggest you wait to even root until further development progress has been made.
If you ignore this warning, you are likely going to be on your own in trying fix it, or you may be waiting months for a consistent fix to be found.
If you like taking risk & tinkering & you like to burn hundred dollar bills just for the pretty orange flame, well, by all means, go right ahead. Just realize right now, there may not ever be a recovery for your particular dilemma & in all likelihood by ignoring this warning, you've already made your warranty null & void.
Well said buddy.
I consider myself a fairly advanced android and linux user and I've customised the heck out of my n4 but I'm leaving my hdx as it is for now.
Good advise there.
Now if only mayday had a pro feature to help with rooting... haha

Firstly, this was posted before SafeStrap. Plus, I highly doubt even Hashcode would recommend new users mess with SafeStrap right now. I'm by no means a master developer, but I've been around a long time & I've participated in some pretty cool low level hacking with some of the old timers & I'll be the first to say that there is some funky stuff going on in the HDX. Amazon has not exactly gone out of their way to make modding safe or easy. Plus there's not a whole lot out there yet that requires an custom recovery. It may be fine for you or I, but it can open a whole other host of issues if used improperly.

Hey there I am new to this forums! Got a kindle yesterday (as a gift) and moved straight to xda to see what's cooking unfortunately I was a bit disappointed because there is no "cooking" at all. I hope this has to do with the fact that it's a new device and nobody has tried to make some roms for it yet... Nevertheless I am quite happy with it, although this fire os is a pretty pain in the eyes. Thank God I have managed to get the YouTube app sync with my Google account, plus some other gapps like drive. Well that's it for the moment, I just didn't want to make a new thread so I posted in here. So what do you think, will there be some good roms for this device? And/or maybe we could use those for the kindle fire hd?

Thanks for the info I'm super new at this but was thinking buying one of these. But now that I am acquainted with Flashing ROMs and stuff it's sort of a deal breaker if it's not being done. If I can't modify it, whats the point?
HDX rooting?
I bought a Fire HDX 7" to replace a Nook HD+ for better HW. I thought I read you could root it or at least get the google play store on it, but it appears that is not the case. I guess I misunderstood what I read. Really disappointed now.

You can get root and the Google Play Store on an older firmware, just not any of the newest couple. Yet (I hope).
Good to go: I was able to use hdx-toolkit with my router blocking
Hey everyone.
In case this helps, I was able to ensure that my kindle didn't update by blocking all Internet access at my firewall (Verizon FiOS router) for the device. I looked up its MAC address under "Wireless" -> "Wi-Fi" and configured a rule to block all access.
I confirmed my device version via Apps -> Settings -> System Updates -> Current Version: 13.3.1.0 (factory fresh!)
Then, using my PC I ran the hdx-toolkit 0.94 and after resolving an initial snag (the toolkit couldn't access my device) I was able to do steps 1 (driver), 5 (check if rooted which also checks connectivity), 8 (towelroot), 2 (SuperSU), 5 (confirm root), 4 (block OTA) from the toolkit menu.
Note, the toolkit doesn't want to run from a network share. I copied it down onto my computer's local hard disk first.
My specific issue preventing the ADB setup was I didn't realize the Microsoft driver (to make the device show up as a USB phone device) was blocking the ADB driver from coming up. After uninstalling the Microsoft driver (under device manager - Portable devices for the device "kindle") and installing the device driver for Android Composite ADB Interface, I was able to get the ADB driver to install without error. Symptom of the driver conflict was the end of the installer sequence said "driver not installed correctly or need to reboot".

Hello,
Just to make sure I understood all the info published around:
A Kindle Fire HDX running FireOS 4.5.2 cannot be brought to a state where it can be jailbroken and and alternate ROM installed.
Even the downgrade performed by Amazon operators is to a version too high to allow jailbreaking and installing other ROM.
Am I correct with this assessment?

The tablet that I am dealing with is a "Cruz Velocity Mini Tablet" running android 2.0 and no means of installing apk's.
Currently this is the situation:
A friend of mine lent me her Chinese reader tablet.
I told her that I could probably flash a newer version of Android on it, thinking that I could finally try my hand at making a ROM because I know for a fact that there aren't many ROMs if any at all out there for a chinese off brand reader like this.
After rooting the tablet I deleted the pre installed bloatware via ADB commands (shell) including a file manager (Astro) that I believe was the only way that you could browse files on the tablet, as well as some other pre installed applications that must have been necessary in retrospect. There is no existing vending capability or market application.
I am looking to make a custom ROM (Using android Kitchen and Cywign) through following this tutorial by lokeshsaini94 yet I feel like following that tutorial won't even get me where I need to be.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Things that I have tried at this point include:
Attempting to connect the tablet to my computer with the SD inserted (with and without debugging turned on) [Failed to show up on my computer as a device or anything]
Downloading the APK that I need from a file sharing website [Downloads fail]
Uploading the APK that I need to my Google drive and downloading it from the tablet [Says waiting for data connection and doesn't download even though connected to our WiFi]
Inserting the SD card into my computer, copying the APK I need over to it, then inserting the SD card back into the tablet, going into the browser and typing "File:///sdcard/<name here>.apk" to install an APK but getting an error in the installer after pushing 'install' -> 'Application not installed'
Trying to perform a factory reset; this simply makes the tablet reboot with everything the same as it was before.
Essentially guys and gals, my tablet here is running Android 2.0, I want to update it by making my own rom for it to something at least >4.0, and it seems that I've made things worse and have no way out of this mess. I think I've essentially bricked it even though it still works. :silly:
What do I need to do to make a custom ROM let alone flash/wipe this tablet?
All help will be incredibly valuable
There should be plenty of info here http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/93-velocity-micro-cruz-reader/ to get you on the right track. Not likely you'd be able to get anything beyond Gingerbread on there running due to lack of source code. Your only hope would be to see if there is a newer tablet with the same chipset that has something newer on it to port over.

Thank you very much for your response. It looks like on that website I've already found multiple useful roms!
In fact I already downloaded one and put it onto the SD card. Apparently for these tablets you're supposed to, while powered off, turn it back on by holding the power button and the volume up button but all this seems to do as a whole load of nothing.
I fear that what I've done to it by deleting potentially sensitive programs previously, I have somehow managed to make this process impossible.
Is there some kind of way that I can plug this tablet into my computer and be able to completely wipe it so I can, at the very least, have a functional tablet that will work at all? I've done approximately 5 factory data resets yet the background image that my friend has on the tablet as well as seemingly every single setting and application is remaining untouched..
Try the ones here that also install a custom recovery: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/33586-a-clockworkmod-rom-compendium-for-the-cruz-reader/
You'll want to make sure and rename the file exactly as mentioned there on the OP. Install instructions are included too. I don't think there is a way to reload via the PC. The right zip should get everything working properly.
I was just wondering if there was any available (or TWRP) or a substitute for a generic tablet

My issue are 2 things the constant ads that pop up (minor issue) and second is the space, very low space.... I have an 32gb sd card and I'd like to use that as the primary storage, but since the tablet is kit Kat switching the storage around isn't done the same as its done in jelly bean and from what I read it can only be done by flashing in CMW recovery because ads to sd doesn't always work
I have exactly the same your problems! I can't understand why they partition the main memory when they could use the whole space to install apps... And I want to remove that damn ads popups too!
My model is recognized as softwinner "V11", I'd like to know if CM designed for other similiar tablets works...

Hi guys. I've got an a33 quad core tablet badged ciprotec but I know it's allwinner based (obviously). Have you guys managed to get yours rooted? Mine runs 4.4.2 kvt49l. It's OK for messing around on but I need to practice my developing skills!! Cheers!
That tab is should already rooted I have one too but I found the preinstalled root doesn't work properly. Cant remember quite how i got it working but i think i used supersu to delete and reinstall the root script or I might have had to hook it up to the pc with a bit of software for flashing allwinners that I found. When you do have it rooted get gl2sd if your running kitkat so you can use the external sd for some of the bigger app installs rather than the rather small internal sd, but before that make sure the write permissions are enabled to sd there are a few Apps on the market that can do this. Has anybody heard anything on cwm or twrp yet?
Managed to get it done using vroot! Yay!! It's mine at last!
Hi all,
I've rooted my device and accidentally removed the systemui.apk so now my status bar etc is missing.
So far I've been trying to restore it from several Roms and other user posts, however, it looks like as if the model etc has to match my environment. So here I go, could someone post their systemui.apk???
Cheers!

I made a TWRP for A33, A23,A20 and A31s models over on TechKnow . Some of them are posted but I think I have yet
to post all of them on the Public Downloads... I will make an effort to get them all posted soon. Offhand I do not
recall the specs I used though I am thinking all used gslx Touchscreens.. I will post here again the specs of the Tabs
they are for and a link to where they are posted once I am sure they are up ... The delay in posting them has
been the installer, I was working with another person since I have no A33 on making an installer that will
work on all of the tab models from ADB, also I am working pretty heavily on A31s Dev at present and have
allowed my other projects to fall behind even though some are essentially finished as in this case.
Thanks
Hello XDA, I'm new here and I haven't found any info regarding root on the aforementioned tablet. I know its only been out a short while and isn't anything to shake a stick at, however I believe that the ability to root and install custom ROMs on this device would allow it to run much smoother even with the low grade hardware.
Anyhow if anyone is willing to look into rooting I would be appreciative. I did find something where a fella tried kingoroot, towelroot, and one other method which apparently worked on the ellipsis 7, but had no success. If anyone else is in favor reply and let's get some attention. Thanks XDA.

It's a real shame that no one's done this. There are guys, here, that write whole ROMs for tablets they don't even own and no one's taken a shot at a root. Not being a coder, i can't but there are so many talented guys here i'm just really surprised someone didn't lean over, fart, and put out a root. lol.
Just no real demand for it for these tablets.
Verizon is charging more for these than what you would pay for a MUCH better tablet like a Nexus 7, or Gpad 8.3, etc...
The only people that are "buying" them, are the ones that VZW is giving away for free with you upgrade your phone and add the tablet to your data plan for $10 a month. If not for them giving them away for free, nobody would have one.
I'm stuck with a nexus 8 and require root.
the latest update was forced and now hundreds of my apps will not work due to not being allowed to change sd card files. Root for me is not cool or optional.

Hundreds of apps don't work with the small and incremental update? Like which ones?
For 1, I cannot imagine even having hundreds of apps... But the update was a small one, nothing significant, and I don't see why they would have stopped working?
Disabling writing to the SD is hardly incremental!
can't add new accounts
about half my created files on SD were deleted (save games, notes, configurations)
since existing files on SD cannot be changed, and new SD files cannot be created, the following apps will not function as I need them too, or fail to do anything:
roguelike classics
angband variants
angband
humble bundle app
es file manager
astro file manager
retro arch
and bible
hacker's keyboard
teamviewer for remote
teamviewer quicksupport
android VNC
scummvm
gdosbox
unipatcher
andftp
nesemu
snes9x
gbaemu
androgens
freeciv
That's just a few of the top of my head. Since some of those are emus, each adds hundreds more games and software that will not work (I own over 8000).

What format is your SD card formatted in? Maybe something changed with the update... like the Shield Tablet cannot write to the SD card if it is over 32GB and formatted with exFAT... it needs to be in NTFS for anything higher than 32GB...
Maybe the same case here? Try copying the files to your PC, format the SD card with your PC(and specify NTFS and defaults for everything else), not the tablet because the tablet will format in exFAT even if it is larger than 32GB...
Try that and see if it works.
My Ellipsis 8 is on the latest update, and I can read and write to the SD card just fine... Not sure what the issues are that you are having.
What size SD card do you have?
I have this tab, and rooted. It took me a while to get the right combination though. Go here (it's in Chinese): http://www.kingroot.net and click on the download button with the Android icon to download the kingroot apk. Find a way to install the downloaded apk to your tab. You are rooted. I didn't like the kinguser root manager so I used this Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip to change to SuperSU for root managing. The zip is attached. Just unzip, copy the "mrw" folder to your tab and use adb as root (either terminal emulator or adb shell from your computer) to run this command:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

. Ignore the errors that may appear. After a while SuperSU will open and ask you to update binary. Do so and reboot. you are still rooted, but with SuperSU as root manager.
Now if only there were any custom ROMs...

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.

The link below is a quick guide anyone with an iRulu tablet that is stuck. Please pay it toward. It took me a month to figure out this shizzel.

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
