IOMonster saved the day here, without him you would have to wipe your phone and install modified leaked firmware to get root.
Very glad we decided to not release the initial root, sorry
If IOMonster wants to explain he can, I would prefer not to however.

On phone:
go to settings > Applications > Development > turn on USB Debugging
On Computer:
1-Download and install Pantech PC Suite from c724062.r62.cf2.rackcdn.com/PantechPCSuite_1.0.10.3314.exe
2-Launch Pantech PC Suite and update if it asks. When PC Suite is fully updated, plug phone into computer until device is recognized.
3-Download and install Android SDK from developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
4-Start SDK Manager and check the box next to “Android SDK Platform-tools” and install package.
5-Download prestoroot.img from dl.dropbox.com/u/9772722/XDA%20Forums/prestoroot.img and save it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools”
6-Download cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img from tau.shadowchild.nl/files/cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img.zip and save it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” as well
7-Now open your command line and navigate it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” folder
Run the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the bootloader screen shows up on your phone then wait a few seconds to make sure your phone is recognized by the computer then run the following command
Code:
fastboot boot prestoroot.img
After phone reboots itself, shut the phone down and turn it back on again.
Then run the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the bootloader screen shows up again then type the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img
fastboot reboot
8-When the phone boots up this time, download the play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su superuser app[/URL] from Google Play

FYI,
I've tried uot.dakra.lt UOT Kitchen couple times so far and have been ale to change the font of the device and the color of the glow for overscrolling but my time and other icons up in the status bar disappeared (the "AT&T" still shows up there though). The Backup and Restore in CWM does work nicely though to get me back to before I installed the zip from UOT Kitchen. I'll try 1 mod at a time using UOT kitchen and see which is making the icons and time disappear from my status bar.
EDIT: I did notice one issue with CWM backups. The backup I did today saved the folder name as "1970-02-22.03.14.56". Some reason the date is wrong in the file naming, should have started with "2012-04-13", right?

For those having trouble with a missing driver I followed the below instructions and installed PDAnet (I did so while in fastboot mode so I could see the drivers install) as soon as it installed and the drivers showed installed. I went back and uninstalled pdanet (leaving the needed drivers behind)

I solved my problem by referencing to part II of the following page:
theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/Describe
Be sure to download two programs PDANet and USBView (which you may not really need but it's a nice little program).
It's suppose to be "stupid easy" to root PANETCH Burst, but who ever said that left out that it's not so easy if you don't have all the proper driver on your computer. Anyway, so soon after the fastboot mode is brought up, you should notice the computer is telling you a new hardware is found. This is when the burst switches from PANTECH's ADB driver to something else, and only way for the command "fastboot boot prestoroot.img" to work is to find the proper driver for the new hardware call "Android" in the device manager. Now you want to install PDANet, and as soon as the installation process begin, it'll find the driver for the device "Android." and install the driver for you. Once the driver is installed, the installation process will tried to install whole bunch other things into your phone, but I really don't think it can install them in fastboot mode, so you'll probably want to terminate the process. Now type command "fastboot devices" and you should see some kind of output telling you that it's recognize the "Android" device. Now, and only now you can follow the rest of "stupid easy" rooting instruction.

Is there a Mac version of any of this software?
Is there a Mac version of any of this software. I understand all of this started on a PC but does that mean Mac users are forever out in the cold ? I own a Pantech Burst and a MacBook Air. I don't have access to a PC nor will I in the future, in so far as being able to use any of the software referenced here.
Any suggestions?

I think tfranzman is referring to Pantech PC Suite and Android SDK. The Android SDK I believe has a Mac version but I do not think the Pantech PC Suite has a Mac version.

they were asking if any of the software we are using would work on a mac. the answer is yes depending on what software you are refering too. the pantech suite (which has been useless to me with the exception it installed the drivers for me) is windows only. I had actually gotten the drivers originally at work by using pda net. The information I gave above is what I came up with after a quick google search. I'm not sure if that or pdanet for mac would have those drivers.

[ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED! - Download and use "ROOT Genius" to root this particular brand of tablet. I have personally tested it and can confirm it works on Firmware revisions: v1.0.07 and v1.0.9! Thanks to "brugos" for finding the fix and bringing it to my attention!]
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
Prestigio multipad 4 quantum 9.7
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.
Hello,
I really cant install drivers to windows OS (Win 8). I downloaded official drivers from prestigio website: http://www.prestigio.com/news/firmware_updates/New_Firmware_Update_for_MultiPad_4_Quantum_9_7

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,

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.

You have the JDK & Android SDK installed? Occasionally I had issues connecting to adb when recreating previous bootloops & soft bricks. It seems that it gets hung up in a stat that Windows doesn't like. The only way I could get adb to function at these times was to run a Linux distro or on a Linux machine. You can download the wubi installer for dual booting Unbuntu, which is what 99% of people that have had issues have done to regain adb access. Linux just seems to play better with Android & the Android SDK tools, which really isn't surprising.

NO. This is not an OMAP device & it does NOT use uBoot, so factory cable is useless. Try a different USB port. Also, if you installed Linux, you still have to install the Java JDK & the Android SDK. There are some guides for setting up a build environment, which is pretty much what you need to do to really be able to use the tools in Windows or Linux. Taske a look here: Setting up a build environment in Unbuntu
You don't need Python or Gnu, nor the modules, but you must sdet up the JDK & the SDK & then set the paths.

as I said maybe something will come through QPST

Yeah, I don't read chinese & google doesn't do a very good job translating it, so, not gonna even try.
HOWEVER, I do know that you will need the Lab126 HSUSB driver. I don't remember if this was the one I used, but it was similarly named, I think this is for the BC radio stack diagnostic bulk mode originally & worked for the HDX. http://www.driverscape.com/download/lab126-hs-usb-diagnostics-0800-(com39)
Actually, I remember playing with this & thinking it could be useful for some of the early HDX issue I ran across too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

You'll have to search around for it. Lab126 is the company that makes the HDX. That page only shows you the various driver names, the correct com port & identifies what device you want to see in device manager once you get QPST set up properly.

if kindle bricked (for example after a failure edit build.prop - gray logo and black screen), pc not detect device with standart microusb cable, driver can not be installed, adb not working.
but if use factory cable (buy or make), then the device connect as a usb bulk. you may install the first driver to it.
further steps to recovery does not exist yet

Hi everybody - any help with the following problem is appreciated, I've thrown everything I can find at it but I'm just over my head at this point!
My LG G watch worked great, up until one morning when it got stuck in a bootloop - if I had to guess, the battery must have run out at the exact wrong time, during an OTA update. Maybe. Anyway, stuck in a bootloop.
I managed to install TWRP bootloader, and apparently uninstalled everything but the TWRP bootloader, as it now has the 'no OS installed!' dialogue whenever I try to exit.
I had minimal success installing ADP drivers, but never managed to make a PC/watch connection past fastboot OEM unlock. At the moment (a few months after i had that working) my PC doesn't recognise the watch at all.
So I've bought an OTG cable, and the plan is to put a flashable ROM (hey, even the stock one if I can find it) on a USB stick, navigate to it on TWRP via install, and take it from there. Anyone know if that's what I should be trying / where I can find that particular ZIP file?
Also worth noting, I never toggled on ADP debugging when the original OS was working.
Here's the info from the fastboot screen- ANY help is appreciated!
Product Name = Dory
Variant = dory 4GB
HW Version - rev_11
Bootloader Version - Doryz11c
Serial Number - 03b1175b02a23642
MSN - 406KPMZ0096923
Signing - production
Secure boot - enabled
Lock state - unlocked
Have you tried the instructions of the thread about fixing adb after the update? May work for you. I don't think the watch supports OTG...

Mate... worked a dream. Thanks so much!
Hi guys,
Hope it's ok if I start this thread, I just wanted to give new users some feedback before/ after unlocking and flashing an India ROM on my sealed China ROM K20 Pro (8/256). It might be useful to some, or maybe even help others. Thanks a lot to Robbo.5000, Madsponge and Hursty UK (hope I got it right?) among others for their help and advice.
- [BUYING PROCESS] My trip with the K20 Pro started here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...ice-to-buy-t3939616/post79918346#post79918346 (about 18 days to get it from China during high season, not too bad I guess). (FYI, the real Global version will come out in Europe in a few weeks but the 8/256 won't be available here.)
- [UNLOCKING PROCESS] I then started the "infamous" unlocking process which triggered the even more "infamous" unlocking wait time. Why did Xiaomi choose to do that? Pretty strange if you ask me. Why should you wait 5 days or more? Anyways, in my case it was almost 6 days. That part of the process went smoothly (I run a kinda old Windows 7 PC). I rebooted the phone and it was unlocked indeed. Then started the stressful process: flashing a +400 euros phone without knowing if it would actually work. Kinda reminded of the time when we "backuped" PS1 (PSX) games, haha.
- [FLASHING PROCESS] I used the official MiFlash tool, with the official India ROM (fastboot file, .TGZ extension). First problem : MiFlash couldn't install the drivers because a /log/ folder was missing, which I had to create manually (didn't see that mentioned on the forum, but might be my OS? Oh well). The rest was OK until I launched the flashing process and hit the "clean all" button (I carefully didn't choose the clean all and lock which would have bricked the phone).
>> Link to the official India ROM Fastboot .TGZ -> http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
>> Link to the official MiFlash tool I used -> https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20181115
>> Use the official Xiaomi USB-C cable - do not try another USB cable
>> Important reminder: please change the default option in the flashing tool and DO NOT choose "clean all and lock". Change it to "clean all" only (you don't want to lock it as you might brick it - see posts below about this)
- [STRESSFUL REBOOT] The flashing process ran for about 10 minutes, said "error: Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s .*lock)". Needless to say I was very stressed out at that point, especially with the not cool red message "error" on the right of the tool, in the column "result". I thought the phone was bricked...but no, it just rebooted normally with the India ROM on it. Honestly I don't know what happened, if it was normal or something but I didn't see anyone mentioning this.
Some feedback post flash: everything is fine, the phone seems even faster than on China ROM but it might be just an impression. I do not like the POCO launcher at all, when you're used for 4 years with the classic MIUI launcher it's honestly a pain, I like to see all installed apps on the home and next screens. I had an issue with my Mi Cloud backup (home screen): Mi Cloud said there was no backup even though I did one just before flashing. The rest of the sync process (except home screen - maybe because of POCO launcher?) was fine though: pics, notes, calls, messages, etc. Too bad we're missing NFC but it feels good to be back on "Global" (was coming from a Mi 8 Global phone). Oh yeah, missing the multiple shots option from the China ROM (where you can choose the "best" shot), but it will come to Global one day I guess.
- [MI CLOUD BACKUPS] I can confirm the Mi Cloud home screen backup issue described above is indeed because of the POCO launcher: my previous backups didn't have it (Mi 8 Global, K20 Pro China) and so Mi Cloud couldn't restore from those backups. I now have a POCO launcher backup (daily in Mi Cloud) and I can restore from those. So keep that in mind: if you come from non POCO you won't be able to restore home screen, but same thing if you move from POCO to a non POCO launcher. If you're not familiar with those backups, it's very practical (usually...) when you change phone because you just have to restore it and you'll have all your icons, apps and stuff like before.
[UPDATE] As you might know, a European Global version will be released in a few weeks, let's see if it has the POCO launcher or not.
Thanks again all for the help and let me know if you have more feedback.
Thank you for posting this - i am trying to get thru the steps too.
I too had Miflash tell me a file/folder was missing - after i created the /log folder it got past and said install was done (in chinese) and that log folder now has a txt matching what the window was searching for.
I tried pointing MiFlash to the folder with the ROM with a TGZ extension but it said 'couldn't find flash script'. After some reading apparently we have to extract it ? i did that ang got TAR - MiFlash still did not recognise and still gave me the same error message.
Any ideas?
Also, does it matter if Windows recognise the phone as a Phone? What's the USB connection type you set?

You need to fully unpack the ROM. It requires unzipping twice. You now need to extract everything from the tar file. After extracting the tar file you should have a folder with all the ROM image files and some .bat files. Point the Mi Flash Tool to this folder.
The phone needs to be booted into fastboot mode. The PC should recognise the phone automatically if it has all the correct drivers installed.
ive been using the indian rom for like 2-3 weeks now, my question is, does it support auto updater trough the updater? or we need to install back trough the mi flash tool
i failed multiple times to flash the global india rom before(using winzip to extract). and I tried again extract the files using winrar and it succeed. i'ved been using it almost 2 weeks now. the issue that i am facing is i cant use earphone mic on discord and whatsapp call. the rest is fine. for the updates, i get it from system app updater in settings.
OK - Managed to get the image folder recognised - the file path was too long - so i renamed it and moved it closer to where the miflash .exe was.
Now MiFlash is not detecting my device - when plugging in phone windows comes up with a 'USB device not recognised' message as well.
In Device Manager it says Unknown USB device (Invalid Configuration Descriptor) - I looked for Xiaomi usb drivers but Windows say i already have the best driver installed...
Any ideas?

I forgot to mention it, yes you do have to extract it (using WinRAR or similar) until you get an actual folder like Robbo.5000 said. I then renamed the rom's parent folder as "raphaelin" because another user mentioned we could have issues if the folder's name was too long.
About the USB connection i didnt change anything, i left it by default.

I'm guessing your phone is already in fastboot mode (with the little Mi cartoon guy)?
I installed ADB minimal, the MiFlash drivers but also ADB Lite drivers (mentioned in the big Madsponge thread where you can find the links). That might help.
In MiFlash when i hit Refresh it saw the phone as some ID like 1d23456 or something.
Just installed Qualcomm drivers - didn't help either...
set USB debugg mode - what was the USB connection type? if you remember - thanks in advance

I dont think there is an update since 10.3.3.0 but i guess we'll find out with the next OTA update. I read somewhere an automatic update might lock the phone back (and brick it) so i disabled them for now, until we know more...
Of course Chinese OTA was fine on the China ROM.

In fastboot mode you cant change it on the phone if i remember, and its set automatically in file transfer mode i think.
Yes I installed those drivers too. I might try a different laptop and usb cable tonight.
Thank you so far for your help.
FYI i used the USB cable shipped with the phone. As for the laptop, is its OS up to date? I installed the latest Windows update before the flashing process.
Hope its gonna work!

I own the Indian variant, stock rom, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Widevine L1 is still present.
So, I am curious. When you flashed the Indian ROM, did your Widevine level changed from L3 to L1?
If you didn't check, if you don't mind, please install "DRM Info" from playstore and let me know!
I am trying to find whether the Widevine is implemented based on Stock ROM level or its just at device variant level. Thanks in advance!

I just checked and it says I have L3. Honestly I don't really see a difference (if it's about Netflix HD or not), Netflix videos are still great quality.

Thanks mate. Just one more thing. Could you play "Test Patterns" - S1:E1 video, zoomed out for 2 mins, in Netflix app?
It will initially show "960x540" (right top corner of the screen in zoomed out mode), but after 2 mins, does it change to "1280x720" or still stays at "960x540"??
Again, thanks in advance!
Ok it was the USB cable - device was detected on original USB cable.
Flashed - BUT i made a mistake and had it default to Clean all and Lock !!! ugh...
Flash went thru - but now i am in some thing called Redmi-Recovery 3.0. Red message say "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device."
I can still get into Fastboot and MiFlash can still detect the device - Upon trying to reflash again MiFlash gives error 'Erase Boot Error'
So i think i am F-ed....
Any advice, anyone?
I think its only "soft bricked". Another user had a similar issue and created a thread below. Experts here will be able to help you for sure. If its locked i believe you have to reinstall the China stock ROM.
About Netflix it stays on 960, so no HD i guess...

Just download the china latest stock rom or china latest dev rom (recovery rom will be enough), no need of mi flash.
Then go to this link and follow the instructions. Since you can access the recovery, you are fine mate.
PS: Use the latest official Mi Assistant app from the MIUI site, not the one given in the link above. But the steps are the same.
Thanks guys I will try. Really worried that phone doesn’t shut down it keeps going into recovery (doesn’t power off) and charging doesn’t seem to work in all these conditions.
Will work quickly
