I can help you get rooted. First you will need to install drivers on your PC so your device can communicate with the root program. Then try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43163569&postcount=7
If that dont work, let me know. You can always use MTK Droid Tools and SP flash tool to pull your stock recovery and port it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a simple root.zip
Hope this helps!
usb drivers
thanks Klown80, that looks like it should work, but first i need to install my usb drivers, i have loked at a ton of sites and they all didnt work, i need spreadtrum usb drivers, but can't figure out wich ones, a few said they all worked on any spreadtrum phone, but either im installing them incorrectly, or they simply didnt work,
again, thanks for any help in advance

Try using this, it installs drivers for many different phones, it may not be the actual manufacturers drivers for your specific device but it will help get your phone talking to your PC:

Also - Make sure you are going into settings and turning USB debugging on. You can usually find this under Settings > Developer Options.
snapea
Again, thanks Klown, but no joy, i tried serveral times and after 15 - 20 mins of "fobulating" (is that even a real word ) my phone it said "failed to processs phones data" i tried restarting both devices etc and a couple of other thing suggested but no joy.
Any other ideas, as always thanks in advance.

Go here and download MTK Droid Tools from first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
Run the program and connect your phone to PC, this tool will tell you lots of info about your phone but the main function is to possibly back up your stock firmware (This is good to have if you plan on trying to flash anything to the phone, this way you will have your stock files to fall back on in case something you flash to the phone does not work.) Once you have MTK Droid Tools running and phone connected, what does it say next to Hardware on the phone info tab please?
I am not sure off top of my head about updating to a higher version of Android but this back up step is REALLY important. It is hard if not impossible to find stock firmware floating around on the net for these chinese clone devices. IF you have stock files backed up you can flash almost anything you want knowing you have a way to restore your phone to working order. IF you look around here on XDA you will see tons of posts by people looking for the stock firmware for their clone phone after soft bricking it playing around. Sadly there is not much help for them unless they find someone with the EXACT same phone and are willing to share their back up (if the next person made one theirselves that is!)

edit
even though my pc now recognises the fact that tere is a spreadtrum phone in my devices list and i managed to root it ok, when i load up mtk droid tools it says "the device isn't revealed, connect or reconnect a cable"
needless to say i tried reconnecting and it didn't change i downloaded the adb drivers from the link under the mtk link but have no idea what to do with them,
appologies for my ignorance in all of this, but like i said in my first post, i have no idea what i'm doing with all this, thanks

pps the hardware version i posted was from the info on my phone
Tried to flash the wrong rom. now tablet wont turn on. when plugged into pc it comes up as m6 chip and i have no drivers. can anyone point me in the right direction.
Hello,
I suggest you to download AMLOGIC BURNING TOOL
this will also install the required drivers for M6 Chip .... but you have to find out correct files for using with it.

I am also facing same problem of Hard Brick ST10 tab, I found the software but not able to get correct zip file to flash.

Revisiting this tab as my solution for having it work was to fling together parts of the nx008, not perfect, I still needed to get the original ROM.
Can you perhaps provide me with a dump of the original ROM?
Also if you need help loading the rom onto the bricked one, I believe I can be of some help.
Thanks
Hello all at XDA!
I'm new here and to the Android OS. Got a " Pyle Astro PTBL92BC " for yule. (I bet you all have heard this before)
I managed to root it using " ROOTx " but now I want to Dive in to Custom ROMs and tweaks. I have been looking on the net, and found not much info about Pyle's Tablets at all.. looks like a Generic android tablet nothing special about it.
Have been reading and looks like I should install something like ClockworkMod Recovery but looking at CWM's site their is a lot of versions... I don't know how to find the right one for me.. So if and when I mess this up, I can fix it and not hurt my father in-laws feelings for bricking his present to me.
So what info do I need to find the right one? all I can tell you about is..
Model:
PTBL92BC
Android Ver:
4.0.4
Baseband:
1.5
Kernel:
3.0.8+ [email protected] #1
Build #: 913A.V2.10.TZX.R01.BT.eng.0826.1009
Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately, there is no custom recoveries for your device. With that being said, there really isn't much we can say about ROMs either.

Yes, I am a newb, but I thought ROOtx couldn't actually ROOT a device. Is this wrong? Could you explain further?
I have had success on rooting the device using the Kingo rooting tool for PC. I have rooted the device and now I am working on a CWM recovery for it which I have booted successfully into but haven't been able to mount sd card or anything correctly yet.

I was wondering how you got Kingo to recognize the tablet. Im having trouble getting windows to recognize the tablet once i put it in USB debugging mode. Do you have some Pyle USB drivers? Or is there a step im missing here.
Kingo "recognized" it once, but it was as a samsung galaxy so i assumed it would be bad to proceed with a Root when the program was assuming it was a different device. Any advice for me?
Thanks!
Help with Pyle Astro PTBL92BC
Hi, Next time I tried to turn on Pyle Astro PTBL92BC tablet, after trasfering files from other tablet by bloototh, it has got stuck on starting screen with the “Android” logo and it stays on it and does nothing more so I have to turn it off. It is not recognized when connected to pc either. What should I do to fix it? Is there a way to re install a fresh copy of Android?
Please, help!
I figured it out!!!

I was in the same situation after trying to flash some random CWM not compatible with this chinese tablet.
To reflash the original firmware on it you need the flashing tool: PhoenixUSBPro
AND
you need the firmware (.IMG) file . this one was provided to me by the manufacturer: PTBL9C
Image file only HERE
Only inconvenience is that it is not the one for the Bluetooth capable Tablet ( their mistake).
Once I have the one for the PTBL92BC ( bluetooth capable) I will update .
Instructions on how to use that tool is summed up in the picture within the file attached PTBL9C.
BUT
If you need clearer steps you can follow instructions HERE

Just follow these instruction from another thread in XDADev. : HERE
It works for that tablet. Now Once you have root you can install Super SU pro and set it as a native app.
Hello XDA community, this is my first thread, i had never needed to post anything cause i always find everything im searching for in this awesome community... until now :crying:
Last week I got a new android device which is made by Polaroid, model: PSPR355, its a pretty low class device but I thought it would be enough for me.... then i realize I needed root permissions, for obvious reasons... easy I thought... i had rooted many devices...how hard can it be...right?... WRONG! :crying: . The first problem I encountered were the drivers..couldnt find em anywhere... fortunatelly i found a tutorial were i could install the drivers in a different way...although I took 2 days to do this...Ive been about 5 days trying to root my phone.... Ive tryied about 10 different programs with their different versions... and any of those rooted my phone, nor Oneclikroot, nor Unlockroot, etc, etc..... I really gave up trying to find something on the web cause i didnt even find the phone on its official site, so I came her defeated asking for any solution, idea, or if you want to help me with commands, a programm or anything else to root my phone, Im not even afraid of trying programming (Im trying to learn how to make roms, kernels, etc for this phone cause theres nothing on the web abou it but this is a theme for another time) if you wanted to help me i would really appreciate it, im a little desperate so anything would come useful thanks everyone and I hoppe you can help me!!! :fingers-crossed:

I would recommend trying the towelroot application. It can be downloaded from here, just click on the orange lambda to download the tr.apk file. Then open towelroot follow the instructions in the application. After the device reboots I would recommend downloading, Root Checker Basic form the Play Store and running that to make sure your device is rooted. Finally install SuperSU, and you should be good to go.
First thanks for answering so fast shimp208! And I guess I forgot to tell that I was in Mexico and Im using Telcel's network, I downloaded and installed the apk file but it doesnt starts I click the button pops up a black screen and then closes to the last app I used...any idea about this error...or if its beacuse of the carrier, by the way the device has Android 2.3.7 I dont know if it has something to do with this error

Does it present an error message of any kind before it force closes? Try uninstalling and then re-installing the application, and if that doesn't work go to application manger under settings, find the towelroot application and select the options to clear it's cache and data. The carrier won't have any effect in this case, and with it being Android 2.3.7 your device most definitely has a kernel build date before June 3rd, 2014.

No it simply closes without showing anything, and without even giving the "Force Close" message, i thought it was because i first installed it on the sd card, or because of not enough space but no, I moved it to the phone and uninstalled some apps I had, I uninstalled and installed towelroot twice and it didnt work, I installed the v1 of it and i got to the [make it ra1n] screen but when I click the button it closes immediately again without any error message

Very interesting, while in theory the app should work for any kernel build date earlier then June 3rd, 2014 the app many not be compatible with devices running an Android version less then 4.x.

Since you have the usb drivers working on your computer, try booting into the bootloader and using fastboot to see if the command fastboot devices returns anything. If the computer see's the device in fastboot that's a good sign. If your device doesn't have a locked bootloader which it likely doesn't, then I can try and create a rooted system image for you to flash in fastboot. Provided fastboot see's your device if it does, if you can provide me an adb dump of your /system folder then I will see what can be done.

Unfortunately if fastboot doesn't show your device without any other flashing utility, even with the system dump there is no way to flash a rooted system image if it was created.

Hello shimp well I connected my device on FastBoot Mode and my computer recognized it and it installed a driver named: ADB Testing Interface I dont know if thats a good sign or what should I do, I tried entering into recovery mode but it shows only an android little guy and exclamation quote... so I think it doesnt have a recovery boot I dont know if thats relevant, Could you help with the adb dump i dont know how to get it. And.... I dont know if besides you help me with the rooted system image you could teach me how I do this.... anyways thanks a lot for helping me! I'll keep doing everything you need so we can root this device!

Since your computer recognizes the device and installed the driver and shows the device when in fastboot mode that's a good sign. The Android with the exclamation point is part of normal stock Android system recovery, it just means that the recovery menu has been hidden (You should be able to get the menu to appear by pressing the power and both the volume buttons in recovery mode). To dump /system run the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system
Then please send me a link to the /system dump, from there I will make a rooted system image.
Factory Rooted??
Hey guys I'm new to this so I may be wrong but has anybody thought to check if the Polaroid PSPR355 comes Factory Rooted??? I had a Polaroid Tablet, PID something(I forget the name), which I tried for hours to root resulting in: bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, about to give up. So I Googled how to root Polaroid PID something (again, I forget the name), and I come to a post somewhere(forgot that too) that tells me my Tablet and similar Polaroid electronic devices(as well as most electronic devices coming from China) are factory rooted due to some Chinese law. So after the last hard reset, I downloaded HowToRoot App to check if my Polaroid Tablet is, in fact, rooted. I press the little lock button(root checker) and I find that, to my surprise, my Polaroid Table is in fact rooted. So all I had to do was download SuperSU from Google Play Store and Update Binary when prompted and I was Super User. Don't know if this helps but it worked for me.
i bricked my android and when i connect it to the laptop its shows "qhsusb_bulk" after some research on google i came to know that it is some kind of download mode for qualcomm devices like mine and i am stuck here cause i messed up my bootloader (cause i flashed different device's rom)

Please tell more about your device mate . And go search on your phone forum instead here, I'm sure there is a guide for hard brick device in your phone's forum.
For example, I've a LG G2, and well, when in qhsusb_bulk mode, it can't be recover, so don't worry now.

As with most qualcomm devices, a bricked bootloader needs uart access to restore it (if a image is even available)
