Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and i'm here only to share with you a tip! or maybe many!
So i was looking for a ways to reduce lag on ICS and i stumbled upon a way to root any android device . and i tried it .... I was ready to take the risk on my 3 year old tablet to see if it was worth it... .and it was .....
I don't take any credit for this method of rooting the Tablet S . This is the simpler than all the AiO tools out there . And it can root 4.0.3 rev5A!!!!!! (yes!)
Requirments
Sony Tablet S 16GB/32GB on 4.0.3r5a (Or 3.2 this works with any version above 2.3)
KingRoot App (download link below)
Charger(we dont want to get stuck on a bootloop because we didnt have a charger!)
SD card for backup
RootChecker App if u dont believe me
This method does not require creating a backup... but do it just in case.
Download and install the KingRoot app.
Open the application swipe down till u see Sony Tablet S Root Strategy Found...
Then its pretty simple. just click on the root this device button...
Your device may reboot during the process
and voila! now you have root on your Tablet S
Now, unfortunately you cannot install custom recovery on your device because the bootloader is locked or you cant install custom roms(wish i could) but this post is only for obtaining root ... pls dont criticize me for the above reasons
Also, im not responsible if your device gets bricked ... rooting is a dangerous process and your device is your responsibility . Dont blame me for bricked devices.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THIS APPLICATION! THANK THE CREATOR OF THE APP AND NOT ME!
Another tip ... If your device gets stuck in a bootloop, get into the recovery and do a factory reset. and if that doesnt work... try restarting a few times.
Thanks people!:victory:
I was honestly skeptical but it actually worked!

Glad it worked! Another tip... Don't try replacing kingroot with superuser... It doesn't work with the tablet... Unfortunately...
SGPT13 (Tablet S)
Hello! Sorry for my spelling errors. I am Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate for this dialogue.
I'm having the following problem: I have a Sony Xperia Tablet S (SGPT131BR / S) and the wifi simply crashed. Already tested in other modems without success. I can connect it only to the smartphone hotspot. The gadget now has a version 4.1.1r2 (Jelly Bean) installed and already efetuei the HARD RESET, but the problem continues.
In Brazil's support, suggested I use the PC Companion software and make a repair update. However, the software only has MPT driver and has no USB debugging. Again, after search and find the driver, I found that this software does not
updates this unit specifically.
The equipment certainly is not damaged (hardware). Step this information based on the fact that it can only connect to mobile hotspots, also the bluetooth is operating normal and finally know that there was no fall when "out of nowhere" he decided to no longer work.
After researching a bit, I believe that the "system update from sd card" available at "Android System Recovery" (the HARD RESET menu), could solve ...

SeSearch for rooting is791c in xda .. and follo the steps.. I already rooted my is703c .. n its working gud... bt luking for a custom rom
Works with an ADB tweak
Pantel's BSNL Penta IS703C has weird path variable. the su present in /bin/ takes precedence. That file is merely a symlink to /bin/busybox. Rooting solutions don't affect it and therefore rooting this tablet from existing rooting solutions does not work.
Following method works for this tablet:
Follow all steps of any rooting solution, I chose root with restore by bin4ry with option 1
Enter ADB shell (root with restore by bin4ry folder contains adb.exe, use it by Windows cmd prompt)
Code:
adb shell
mv /bin/su /bin/su1
Done!
Tab not booting

Where did you get an upgraded firmware from? I know of only two official firmwares.
20120910%20IS703C%20software.zip (new)
and
IS703C1GB.zip (old)
(Here is my opinion about these two firmwares:
New
Pros: Obviously, it is new. Offers more apps. Physical buttons work as volume keys. Taskbar has hide option.
Cons: Wallpaper says that P. C. Chacko has gifted tablet to some scholar. /system/media/boot.mp3 plays annoying audio at startup. Taskbar has screenshot button. Stock Skype app is by tom.com.
Fix: Remove wallpaper. Rename boot.mp3 from ADB/root. Install official Skype app.
Old
Pros: Physical buttons work as menu and back keys.
Cons: Older version. Less apps.)
I have tried both firmwares and both work fine. Did you try some firmware for some other tablet? If so, then you'll have to flash any original firmware back.
Actually I tried installing CWM of a fly tablet but it didnt worked so reflashed stock firmware. But after some timme my tab refused to boot. still looking for a solution.
Try this

If your tablet is still detected by ADB, then you might be able to reflash the stock firmware again. I don't know if any JTAG sort of fixes are provided by Pantel service center. I suggest you ask them, no harm in asking.

Yes it is detected by adb , I have tried installing firmware again, But still the backlight of display gets on but nothing else work. And I dont know much about JTAG, will take it to Care centre in spare time. I havent used this tab since I bought it, But recently I lost my phone, so used it for whatsapp....only

Since it is detected by ADB, I wouldn't be much worried.
I see that you earlier tried pantel.in/Download/Software/IS703C1GB.zip. Have you ever tried pantel.in/Download/Software/20120910 IS703C software.zip instead? It is the newer firmware from Pantel.
Tried both firmwares

[how-to] another advenure: From German "unrootable" 3.2 build10 to rooted 4.0.3R5a
Hi there,
after about 5 nights, this "morning" at 4am, I won over Sony and M$ :highfive:
So i want to write this little tutorial for the ones, who might still be stuck on 3.2 build10.
I bought my tablet S 114DE/S, German with 3G, right before Xmas. Thought, it would be an easy task ... ha-ha.
First thing I read was, that build 10 is unrootable. F#?!
Started reading everyhing on XDA and other forums. Also read Cat McGowan's "adventure". Tried to do it like him... but as my tablet is German region an region changer only works with rooted devices, I could not flash his US files. But the idea was born.
Found the thread: XDA Developers > Sony Tablet S > Tablet S General > NEW Update Links Inc Tablet S/P R5A & Xperia S R6b
The "oldest" downloadable German original Sony FW was ICS R2a. I was not sure if this was still rootable, i would have liked to find a R1a, but what the heck, worst case is a not rooted ICS, which is still better than an unrooted 3.2!!
Downloaded, put on SD an flashed with recovery mode. Went fine.
So all you need to get away from "unrootable" build10 is a rootable original FW for YOUR tablet's country code!!! Hope you find one. There are many in the above mentioned thread.
Installed ADB automatic installer, no probs. i have Windows 7 pro 64bit.
Would be really NICE to add a clearly visible advice to also install the ADB driver (most likely MANUALLY on some systems) before using any special tools... I did not see any advice, maybe I was blind...
At least tell everybody to check, if the driver is working, by booting in recovery and looking at Windows device manager.
Problem is to find the right driver...if you simply choose the INF like for the "normal boot" ADB device, W7/64 does not install properly, you can get an error... really badly misleading message comes from Windows: It's telling something about MTP device ... well, actually you need the ADB driver!! Took me some hours... but as I found that problem only later, it took me 2 nights before, trying Condi's flasher and AIO 5.3 tool, without success...
OK, ADB drivers were installed (I only had the normal boot drivers at that time).
Downloaded Condi's AIO 5.3 tool, used the "root device" option, everything went OK, I was really happy! Rooted ICS R2a. First big step. 3.2 build10 unrootable? Not really... you only need a rootable original Sony firmware, flash it the normal way.
Then, I wanted to upgrade to R5a of course!
Condi's flasher 2.2. did not work. Maybe also because of the missing ADB driver for recovery mode?? Dunno. It always ended with: System.zip and all the other zips "not found", although I also tried pushing them manually to the internal SD before... when checking later, they disappeared.
Tried AIO 5.3 and custom signed zip. Always stuck in recovery mode with "Status 7" Error, like described in post #72 in this post:
XDA Developers > Sony Tablet S > Tablet S Android Development > [FW R5A WIFI/3G] NEW! custom preROOTed newest stock nbx03 R5A with R1A's recovery!
Also here, it would be nice to bring the advice (install ADB drivers for recovery mode) BEFORE! It does NOT appear in the tool's window IF you are stuck!
After finding the right driver, it was no problem installing the prerooted double-flash zip with the AIO tool... Also here, do not panic when the "Status7" Error appears... it's normal, it disappears after a few seconds and at the same time, the hint about the driver comes up in the command window...
Btw I had no problems with missing google market or apps or any Sony applications. Google play is working, also Sony remote etc.
OK, that's it!
Waiting for 4.2
Have fun with your rooted Sonys!
Many thanks to Condi and the other devs for the tools, videos, tutorials... they may not be perfect, but without, it would be impossible for guys like me :angel:

well, i hope this will pass cause I am a noob here..
As an owner of this pretty much cheap and quite alright device I had hard time finding proper root method but in the end it was found..
Mine was already on 4.2.1 and the rest is as usual 1,5ghz dual core, mali 400 graphics, and apparently cortex a7 not a9 as on the box.. but who cares, right!?
so i got to the file (its actually based on crystal_root method from xda but some smart guy somewhere just made it work for 4.2 generic tablet ) I apologize if this si mentioned somewhere else, and I couldn't reply to crystal root board cause i am a noob, but I am sure some people will find this useful, that's all.
ok...you can chat here with me untill i got those 10 posts to upload link, you can google "Aigo M80E - JB 4.2.1 - help with rooting (killing cell standby)" or you can be a good soul and my first mate here and paste link

Prestigio 5588c Rooting Issue
Hello to all.
I have a Prestigio 5588c and I had recently updated it to the latest firmware. I wanted to root this device, but it seems that the new update is not allowing the utoo-root-signed.zip to root it. It keeps failing. I was wondering if there is someone out there that is in the process of renewing the file so that it works on the most recent update from Prestigio.
Thank you in advance for your time and your great work regarding all things that are Android

Hello all,
I have the same PMP5588c_Duo device (4.2.1 stock Build PMP5588C.20131231.1.0.42) and managed to easily root it using Kingo root (kingoapp.com). It's a straighforward process:
download the app and install it on your PC
enable USB Debugging from the Developer options on the tablet
start the app on the PC
connect the table and PC with a microUSB cable
do not enable anything else on the tablet (like SD card access)
wait for Kingo to detect it
it will automatically download and install USB drivers to your PC and show a ROOT button
click the ROOT button, wait for 2-3 minutes, it could take up to 10min so be patient
the device will automatically reboot after the root has been applied
at which point disconnect the device
after the restart check for the SuperUser app, it will automatically install it
Have fun.

hey Z.
thank you for the guidance.. testing it now so will update shortly.. although the program thought I had a samsung note lol
ok, this is an update.. seems the program did not want to root my tablet. when I started it again, it classed it as a google device, but said connection failed due to cable instability.. guess I will have to try another way
double update... after leaving it for a few days, it seems to have wanted to work.. woohoo. thanks Z for the info
help with prestigio multipad 8.0 HD !!!
Welcome. I have a problem with this tablet.
Tablet died after a crash. There is no option to enter a Power + vol +
also does not move with the micro SD card from the system manufacturer Charges start-up screen and that's it. When connected to a PC saw it as m3-chip.
In total, I found drivers in Device Manager I did update the driver for the M3-chip and now the tablet is listed in my device manager as libusb- win 32 device. I found a program that detects such a connected tablet. The program is Amlogic Image Burning Tool v.1.6.2.2. For the time being this my progress stopped. I was trying to upload with this software firmware downloaded from the manufacturer's website dedicated for this device, but I get the message "find no upgrade" and do not know what to do. Can someone help me ??? I'm not an expert, and the above step I got reading the various forums. To my eye it looks as if they fell bootloader, but thanks to the above program to see the tablet (or rather its processor) and now combines where to download a bootloader to throw it out there and then be able to upload the system such as the sd card. Or is there some other program or a way to restore the dead to life my tablet ??? Can you help ???
1. Turn off the tablet (hold the power button and count to 12
2. Insert prepared SD card https://yadi.sk/d/_6VITNSbhKPyi
3. Press and hold the "Vol +", press "Power ON" for 2 sec.
4. Release all buttons and wait for boot TWRP (about 10 seconds)
5. In TWRP select Install -> update.zip
6. Reboot tablet

Hey guys
I do hope I have posted this question in the correct forum, if not I do apologise.
As you can probably tell from the title, I am looking for a way to root my 9.7 inch Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7 tablet (Model: PMP5297C_QUAD).
I have been looking for a way to root this since December, and even though I have found several articles (non English) explaining how to root this device (and have been through all the relevant threads I could find regarding my device on XDA), all of the guides have been for firmware v1.0.3 - my tablet is v1.0.7. I went ahead and tried it anyway, and although CWM installed and launched fine, installing the SuperSU binary via CWM did nothing. It installs, but nothing appears in Android when I reboot, and installing SuperSU from Play Store alerts me that the SuperSU binaries are not installed.
I tried "Kingo Android ROOT" and that wouldn't even detect the device, which isn't surprising as it isn't listed on their website. However somebody on a similar thread (on XDA) suggested that the OP (who has the same tablet as myself) at least try it. I did try it, and sadly it doesn't work.
Device information:
Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7" Tablet
Model Number: PMP5297C_QUAD
Firmware: v1.0.7 (December 2013)
FW Build Number: PMP5297C_QUAD_20131204_V1.0.7
Android Version: 4.2.2
If there is anybody out there who has any idea what to try, then I am willing to listen. If anybody needs any other information, I am more than willing to give it
Cheers guys

The same here..trying to find a way to root for the new firmware...still haven't got anything...
Yeah... doesn't seem to be a very popular brand of tablet :/ Which is a shame as its pretty damn snappy with the v1.0.7 firmware. I wanna get a resolution changer to work, but none I have tried will work without rooting. Only wanna drop the res for better gaming framerates lol
yeah agree...doesn't seem very popular... I guess we should wait some time more.... did you try rooting with the old firmware and then updating to the new firmware? I guess it wouldn't work anyway....
Nope... from past experience rooting phones updating the firmware breaks the root as v1.0.7 replaced the entire OS if I remember...
Tried the root for v1.0.3 while using v1.0.7... ClockWorkMod installed and works fine, but the SuperSU binary doesn't work/install It was a gamble incase it screwed anything up but luckily it didn't - however, it also didn't work
And yeah, looks like we will need to wait a while longer... I do hope someone out there somewhere knows what to do lol Just gotta find them or wait for them to find us lol
Hey dude...you still haven't find root? If not try with root genious... I got root now on my tablet...running the latest firmware 1.0.9
Regards!
Ah man! You are AMAZING! lol
I almost gave up trying to find a root - until now!
I had no idea that there was a new FW released a few weeks back, just updated it and downloaded "ROOT Genius" - worked first time!
Excellent work there dude, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to share it with me, and the rest of the people out there who have been in the same situation as us who are still looking for a fix!
Now we have it! Excellent work!
You welcome!
Just curious what are you going to do to your tablet having root now?
Do you know if there is any posibility to install any rom or something like that?
Also knowing Prestigio I guess would be hard to find some updates hmmm
Hey man
Well the main reason I wanted to root first of all was to adjust the resolution of the display, it has a beautiful high resolution display as you know but some games... the FPS leave a lot to be desired. After doing some reading, some posts suggested lowering the display resolution to increase FPS - and the only way to do that was to root the device.
I did try one app, but it went a bit wrong lol. I was hoping it would readjust the resolution and resize the interface accordingly... instead it ended up changing the resolution, but the interface stayed MASSIVE. The device was inoperable and keep getting a "UI Error" constantly popping up making it unusable at all lol. Had to reflash and re-root so I am looking for another option
Beyond that, I have used custom ROMs in the past on my Android phones, but as far as I know, I believe there is only one ROM out there for our tablet and its based on CyanogenMOD I think... I may be wrong, but I thought I read something somewhere about it. Apart from that though, I am not really sure what else I will do now it is rooted Will open the door to some other apps for certain, but the OS itself seems fine and since the new firmware (v1.0.9) - it feels even faster than before!
What do you have in mind?
Yeah I noticed the issue of FPS in some games.... Well I didn't do many things yet I instaled Xposed and some modules.... and also I removed the navingation bar...is just that I dont like the way the navigation bar and status bar are together... thats why I was searching for another rom also which could have not the Ice cream sandwich bar.
I've found this: crewrktablets.arctablet.com where there are some roms with kit kat that may be work for our tablet but nothing confirmed yet...so I'm not sure if I'm gonna try it
and yeah with the new firmware is much faster thats cool.... but I'm almost sure will be forever in 4.2.2
It worked with MULTIPAD 4 QUANTUM 10.1PMP5101C-QUAD with last firmware too.

You've got some drivers here: http://storage29-free.uloz.to/Ps;Hs...7c-cwm-v6-0-3-zip?bD&c=1822785863&De&redirs=1
It's also root and cwm. But there is driver folder too. Even for windows 8. It might work.
Here are some instructions maybe you did something wrong
1. On tablet set the usb-connection-style to 'mass storage'. Settings, Memory-3 dots in the upper right corner- choose Mass storage
2. Turn off the tablet.
3. Connect the usb cable with PC and tablet.
4. HOLD DOWN the (volume +) key and turn the device on(still holding the vol.+) until you get a notice(driver not successfuly installed) on your PC.
5. Use the Manual(found in the downloaded folder) to install a proper driver. Or.: Go to Start-My Computer-Right click on it-Properties-Device Manager-Other devices-Unknown device-Update Driver- In the window browse the computer for the specific driver(that's why you need to know your systems pc)
Good luck.

Ok, i tried those drivers too but no success. I think maybe i need other OS.
I have developers options ON and USB debugging turned ON. (I think that should be turned ON)
P.S. I changed to mass storage and program did recognize the tablet but when i clciked switch (tablet turned OFF) and then it did not recognize anymore - i think problems with drivers.
Update to 1.0.9
Hello again,
I finally made it
Here is the thing:
1) Download this update (1.0.9): http://de05.dl.prestigio.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMP5297C_QUAD/PMP5297C_20140425_v1.0.9.zip from @yoyo97 (thanks)
2) Dont use drivers in folder /Drivers_x32 or /Drivers_x64
Instead go to /tools/Driver (and use this one x86 or x64 - depends on your OS)
3) Follow instructions in manual:
start RKBatchTool.exe and if icon is not green click Switch. Wait for tablet to shutdown and you should get green icon. (if this doesnt help turn off your tablet manualy and press AND hold volume + button for about 6-7 seconds DONT release and plug in USB cable then you should get notification on windows and green icon in RKBatchTool.exe)
4) Choose the firmware image and click upgrade.
5) let the software do the trick
6) profit
7) for rooting i used an android app called kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ just download the app on tablet. When you start it just click root and let the app do the trick.
After around 2-4min your tablet should be rooted.
I was using windows 7 (x86)
If you need any information please let me know and I will be glad to help
Have a nice day,
DyXen
Hi DyXen
Tried it all, but cannot get rockusb.inf to work on Windows 10 64-bit. I see two devices in my device manager after connecting the tablet, POrtable Device PMP5297C_QUAD and Android Composite ADB Interface. Have tried forcing the bundled Win8 x64 rockusb.inf on to both devices but keep getting "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I have also tried DriverAssistant v4.4 and it installed the drivers OK.
Even tried copying the IMG and ZIP files to SD card and applying via recovery. Nothing works. My tablet is still stuck on 1.0.3 and is sluggish as a snail. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Could you solve it? Cause I have the same problem
Hello I followed a guide step by step about how to install the xposed alpha 3 on my android device with Android 5.0.2 and it broke my device, it always says that the device is running out of space while having over 10gb of internal storage, it doesn't let me install anything from Google Play and even downloaded from browser.
Also the phone, ZTE Blade 6 Ultra" (Vodafone Smart Ultra 6) isn't being detected by the PC even after have installed the ADB Drivers from the official page, only MTP works but it's useless, when I enable Debug Mode PC doesn't detects the device.
I bought the phone yesterday and now is broken as hell, I need fix the "running out of space" issue soon.
-Android version 5.0.2 (Stock ROM)
-Device Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 - ZTE Blade 6 Ultra
-It was rooted before, but now I can't root it because PC doesn't recognize it and can't install Kingroot due the "running out of space" error.
-Already tried wipe data and cache, didn't worked.

Assuming you have a custom recovery, since you were able to install Xposed on 5.0+...grab the appropriate uninstaller zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and flash through recovery. Should remove the Xposed stuff and get you back on the right track. Not sure how anything to do with Xposed affected the driver situation though, but should help with the downloading issue. I would try the newer version of Xposed to see if that doesn't get everything working right, though always recommended to make a backup before changing important system files, like with Xposed, for this exact reason.
I don't have custom recovery or anything, it has stock ROM. With custom recovery do you mean that I need a modified ROM? I will appreciate if you or someone can help me, a f**** video guide told that a custom recovery was not needed....
The video guide was this one (in spanish, you can understand what I did just by seeing the video despite being in Spanish, Link2SD step was not necessary in my case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67xWjzQl4jg
If I restore the system thanks by XDA Help I will NEVER try install xposed or anything. No more...
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I can't expect help from ZTE to get ROMs or anything... that's their answer:
"Dear Valued ZTE Customer,
Thanks for contacting ZTE.
For this issues please contact the local dealer where you purchased the device or network operator to consult.
Should there be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,,"
