Does anybody have the 3.14.605.12_PH98IMG.zip i locked my device and planning on flashing it or is there a newer file android police files say they are deleted
Also when i downloaded the one from shipped roms it says bad zip file on my tablet and on the pc
When i download witchever PH98IMG file on my pc it says windows cannot open file bad file
Android Police still has the 3.14.605.12 RUU available for download...

And you don't need to open the file from within Windows, only rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.

I got clockworkmod working fine, but I am unable to loan ROMs. Whenever I downloand a ROM it opens in muiltiple files and it also happens with TNT, Thi is where Im stuck
Step 3.
Copy whatever ROM you wish to install (it should be a .zip file) to the ROMs folder on your tablet. (Leave it zipped, Clockwork will install it from the .zip file as is). trying to get VEGan 5.1 final
Note: If the ROM you downloaded has multiple files, look for the one named “update.zip” and rename it to whatever you want (something to help you differentiate it from other ROMs), then copy that to the tablet. If an “update.zip” doesn’t exist, and you’re lost…read through that ROM’s thread and see if anybody else asked about it…if not then you probably should (on that ROM’s thread…each one is different).
I cant fiqure how to get the update.zip. When I do open the files i get 3 files
META_INF,boot, and system. I tried to copy and paste all three files in the ROMs, but it never show the update.zip
You don't need an update.zip with clockworkmod recovery... you just need the rom that is zipped and can be named anything.
Stop unzipping the rom you are downloading and just copy it to your device. Install that with clockworkmod recovery.

you've answered your own question, the rar or zip file you downloaded might be in diff names, but always leave it in zip format. if in rar, unrar and the zip file should be in it.
in clockwork recovery, you can update by update.zip or choose your own zip

That is my problem, if automaticly unzips when it downloads. I am not sure if its my windows setting becaue I am unable to download TNT lite because I keep getting " windows can no opem" message. Is there a way i can prevent it from unzipping? Thanks BTW
maybe use a diff browser to download or right click on link and "save as"
You might be hitting open instead of save ...
down load it direct to your Gtab
Download the file directly to your tab. Use ES file explorer to move it to your SD card if necessary. Reboot in to clock work - choose file from SD card-select it and install.
I posted this on the fool proof thread for going from 3588 to 4349. Having troubles and looking for help.
NVFlash confuses me.
I basically just want to install a good 1.2 based ROM and stick with it. Have no intention of going back top 3588.
How do i make it so that if i ever do brick the device or have a need to go back, it just starts as if 4349 is my starting point?
My problems using the foolproof method is that the external SD card i purchased an loaded the necessary files to was not recognized when i followed the choose sdcard/update from sdcard instruction. I am thinking it might be looking for internal SD card as i definitely put the files on it and partioned per intructions...
Anyway, did work or i messed up somehow - looking for alternatives.
Thanks
Okay...I located the file from one of Robeet's threads.
New/additional question to any who view and have know-how/skills:
In his thread he mentions to flash to 4349 DO NOT use CWM. Well, that was teh first thing i did - install CWM.
How do i go about uninstalling?
I also noticed mybe some of my earlier troubles were in that my command file was created in notepad (he warns against file extensions).

You can still use CWM to flash the stock firmware from teh source he provides. Let me guess, his file is a rar file, when unzipped, you are left with a file called "update.zip" and a folder called "recovery" with a command file in it.
What this is, is the format used to flash something using stock recovery. If you do not have CWM, you'd turn on your tablet, holding +, and it will "see" the recovery file, which will let it know to run the update.zip file.
Since you HAVE CWM, all you need to do is "install zip from SD" and install the update.zip file, just like you would any other rom.
to keep it organized, I suggest you rename it 4349.zip, or stockfirmware.zip, etc.
but yeah, it's completely possible to do it through CWM
as for the "command" file, yes, if it's created in notepad on a windows machine, it will be command.txt. you can't have the .txt part. I use notepad++ to creat files without extensions. You can also do it on the tablet using ES file explorer, root explorer, etc...
Thanks so much for replying!!
Let me ask you or anyone else who knows - When you write "install zip from SD" are you referring to the external or internal?
One more possibly one of the silliest questions that can be asked: How do you move files from one drive to another on this device? I was toying around last night with teh file explorer program and honestlt could not figure it out. I do not use a mouse or anything - normally i would cut/copy and paste teh file to desired location.
Please Help. Thanks again!
SD is generally the internal, MICROSD or SDCARD2 is the external.
Re: The windows notepad. If you want to save a file without the .txt extension or to change the extension simply Save As and put quotes around the name.
Help!!
i been surfing the internet trying to find a way of how i can root my device. so far ive had on luck. i have tried gingerbreak but i don't think this has even worked. does anyone have any ideas of how you could root this particular device. if you have any suggestions or know how you can, i would be very grateful.
HOWTO - root PMP5080B
There is a way to root the tablet.
But it it does not root the runnning version, it roots the update image.
So if don't have the most actual firmware try this:
(maybe you can flash the firmware even it is not newer, but i don't know how)
Todo (Windows PC necessary):
At first load the latest firmware and unzip it:
h t t p : / / w w w .prestigio.com/info/product/downloads?NODE_ID=61101103718510974&ITEM=110706112617507776
Download the Wendal tool:
h t t p s :/ / docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8h...RjZjFmODdiZTQ1
Then follow this steps:
1. Unzip the Wendal tool, you get a folder named "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1".
2. copy the update.img from Prestigio firmware download in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" folder and rename the file to "wendal.img"
3. start "Runme.bat"
4. press "1", you get the message that you have to rename your file. Since you have already done this before proceed. The batch file starts, make sure you dont see any errors.
5. press "2" followed by "Enter". The rootet image will be created automatically
6. end the programm with "3"
7. in the "RK29xxImagetools_v2.1" you will find a file named "wendal-new.img", copy it to your SD card and rename it to "update.img".
8. put your SD card in your tablet, you will get a message to update your firmware
9. the tablet reboots, flashes the new firmware
10. be happy with your root access
Still having problems.
i have done what you said for me to do but when i rename the firmware to "wendal.img" and run it for some reason it keeps saying i haven't put the firmware in the folder when i have. do you know what how you can sort this out.
cheers
Did you unzip the firmware download?
Tried, tested & confirmed working
Just like to note that the software used will give you a warning about placing the update.img in the correct folder and renaming it even when it has already been done. You just have to press enter!
I have 5080B and i want to root it, but on ICS stock rom. Problem is, i cannot use wendal tools cause it can't add su and superuser.apk into /system ("no such directory") and even earlier i used to root gingerbread with these tools it is half-root - /system not rw, but superuser works
i saw update 2.0.2 from prestigio, pre-rooted, but i want to root this, newest version, 2.0.3
i have linux setup running and i tried mounting system.img but i can only add su, and nothing else cause there's no space...
also, how do i boot recovery from the device itself? i tried vol- and power key but there is an image of an 'destroyed' Android bot, no options there at all
Same problem - want root on Prestigio PMP 5080B
Just got a Prestigio PMP5080B running ICS 4 and want to root the tablet. I read from the preceding message that thhe method discussed here doesn't seem to work with it. Any ideas would be most welcomed here too.
By the way Hi!

If you want, i can share my rootet version 1.0.26 for you, i still have the old .img file
But actually i am using this version on my pad:
http://x--t-e-a-m.blogspot.de/
I think it is far better than the original firmware (root included, it is Android 4.1 !)
Italian people did it, so maybe bing translator can help you

The img file is for PMP5080B, so it won't help. Wrong thread, sorry
I am currently on 9.4.2.11.1 because that fixed my problem with rebooting. but now i am getting major battery drainage. I wanted to update to 9.4.2.15 but i cant do the OTA so i thought i would manually install 9.4.2.14 and then let the OTA update me to 9.4.2.15. I downloaded the US version and unzipped it and put that folder to the root of my SD card and when that didnt work i put it on my Internal memeory. Am i missing something? I have both the zip and the unzipped folder on the root of my drives and nothing.... Can someone shed some light on this? I am not rooted. I have rebooted multiple times and nothing. I dont see anything on the settings bar for update.
Get the firmware here :
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=32
Unzip the file, inside there's another file.
Rename this 2nd zip file to EP201_SDUPDATE.zip
Put it in the root of an external microSD card.
Put the microSD card into prime.
Boot or reboot the prime. As soon as you see the first boot screen press "Volume down". Once you see the text on the top left, press "Volume UP" once.
Wait for the process to complete, you're now with the new firmware !
No need for root
I see what happened. I'm on a mac and when i unzipped the original zip file it saw another zip file so it unzipped them both. Thanks alot for your help!
Could anyone run the following RUU
RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_3.55.405.1_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_226690_signed
and extract the .zip files for me? My flyer is stuck in hboot and fastboot, cant detect it in adb to flash new boot/recovery.img so am trying to force the flash from an external sd.
I cant run the ruu long enough to get at the .zip files as it stops after detecting my flyer, doesnt like the state it is in.
I have attached a process monitor app, in the filters tab create one called rom.zip and as the RUU runs, the .zip files should appear in the process monitor window, hit jump to and you should be able to access and copy the files.
Hopefully once i can copy the files to my sd, hboot should flash them and bobs your proverbial.
I realise most devs would use adb but it just isnt happening for me, a bit of reading some threads and suggestions from devs has got me thus far, so i will let you know how i get on if someone can post these zip files for me.
