[Q] How to instal driver properly? (PMP5097CPRO)

Hello,
it's almost 2-3 hours that i'm stuck with instaling drivers on pc for my Prestigio Multipad PMP5097CPRO.
I wanna root it, but I need first to install drivers propery to debug via USB.
Root with "ICS Root Unlocker"
I used that guide sendspace.com/file/4dwex1
tried with different versions of Rockusb, but still the same. (unable to install drivers)
I even tried different usb cable/port/ and pc, but no work (win7 64bit)
ADB driver don't work too. I've read this thread but find nothing similar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796067 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957790
Any idea
thanks

Go to www.snappea.com and install it on your PC, with phone disconnected from PC. Once snap pea installs it will pop up a message asking you to turn on USB debugging on phone then it will ask you to connect to pc, Snap pea should be able to install a generic ADB driver that will work for what you need.

[Q] Please, help - cannot read Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool

Hello,
*I have a problem with accessing phone PreLoader on Virtual COM port.*
I have NO PROBLEM with ADB driver and access. I can also access phone as a Device in Windows.
*But I want to create backup of my phone ROM.*
I want to read the ROM with SP Flash Tool to make backup.
(I cannot post links, so see full links in .txt file attached)
Phone: Alcatel IDOL One Touch Mini
Phone model code: 6012X
Full phone specs: gsmarena.com/alcatel_one_touch_idol_mini-5669.php
Chipset: Mediatek 6572
USB driver link page: developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Driver direct link: dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit
What I do:
------------
- I turn phone off. (Cannot remove battery - phone can not be opened=battery is not removaable)
- Connect to Windows
- Windows popup message for a device connected !
- Browse... choose driver for Win7,64bit,..... (only first time Windows wants driver)
- In Device Manager this device appear for a second, and then disappears: [PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM_X)]
=== Result: Phone is not visible and cannot be accessed/shown in SP Flash Tool. Tried in versions 3.1224.01 (older)
and 3.1352.01 (newer interface).
What I tried to troubleshoot:
---------------------------------
- Used USBDeview.exe (64 bit), runned as administrator. Performed manual Uninstall for all old virtual COM ports.
- Tried another USB cable.
- Tried another USB port; Tried another USB port on another insernal USB hub; Tried on extranal USB hub.
- Tried another drivers, which I have found on fourms.
- Started Device Manager as admin, show hidden devices. Now I can see m phone as a light gray device.
Every time I plug phone, Windows creates a new VCOM port. I have to uninstall them manually with UsbDeview.
When I click properties on VCOM with/without currently phone attached windows says:
"Device status: Currently this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)".
See screenshot: postimg.org/image/o3h86dbzt/
- Googled many times for Code 45 but cannot solve this problem.
- Obviously windows can see MediaTek chipset at least for a while. Tried to connect on turned off phone. Or with
phone started in Recovery mode (Meta mode?) - Power+Volume up. No luck here too.
=== Result: Failed to succeed. Nothing of above can help.
Please, help!

iRoot - root failed

I tried rooting Gionee M3 using iRoot. I get the message root failed.
Root checker also shows that it is unrooted.
This is what i did.
1. Installed English version of IRoot on my Win7 64 bit PC.
2. Enabled USB debugging on the device.
3. Downloaded and installed USB drivers from here -> www androidxda.com/download-gionee-usb-drivers. (Are these the correct drivers?)
4. Connected device and then clicked root device.
5. After a few minutes it restarted my device automatically and then displays the message - "Root Failed".
I reattempted it couple of times.
What did I miss out guys? How do I root this device?

Your PC did not recognized your device because of improper driver installation try after flashing proper driver:-
-Here is the link of drivers of m3s install your required driver from this site:-

Before installing this driver "disable driver signature verification" in your pc and then install this driver....ok...

I already did that, couple of times.
The device being detected only when pressing VOL- button and simultaneously connetcting USB.
All tutorials says that it should be detected without pressing any button - just connecting the phone with USB.
I Think that what cause the ERROR in flash tool.

Adb device not listed after flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU

Hi,
I have a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. When i bought it a week ago, i was able to connect it to my MacBook Pro and also was able to install one of my apps using Android Studio.
After requesting unlock code and waiting 72 hours, I have been able to unlock de bootloader with the Xiaomi utility on a Windows 7 computer, flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-santoni.img from twrp.me) using fastboot from my Mac OSX and install SuperSU 2.82 via TWRP.
The problem is that after rebooting the phone, it is impossible to connect to it via adb. It never appears in adb devices list. Things that i have tried:
Add to adb_usb.ini with these vendor Ids (0x8087,0x2080,0x2717)
Enable / disable developer options
Enable / disable USB debugging
Clear list of USB debug authorizations
Try to modify USB settings to MTP/PTP mode (it always connect as "charge only" mode, if i try to switch it it doesn't change).
Update platform tools to version 0.26 via Android Studio
Connect it to different USB ports
When i connect it to my USB, the phone didn't asks me permissions to allow USB debugging for the RSA key of the computer. It just shows the message about USB charging only mode. If I connect one of my other two phones (Huawei P8 Lite 2017 and Vernee Apollo Lite) they appear without problems on the adb devices list.
Do you have any ideas of what can be the problem? Thanks in advance for your help!
