Confused as heck !!

OK, I am confused as heck here. I have the SDK installed. I have the USB Drivers installed. The PC sees the phone just fine, I can browse the internal storage and the external sd card with no problem. Windows XP Device Manager shows Android Phone, and under that the Android Composite ADB Interface.

PDANet works with the phone, no problem. However, adb devices never shows the device, and the Root program cannot find it either. At this point, I'm stumped. Any ideas what I need to do? I have put the android_usb.ini file in c:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Android with the necessary hex codes for the device and for Google. I'm going nuts here!

I know ADB is installed properly, because I can plug my phone into the PC and run adb devices, and it's detected just fine. It's just this tablet it can't find.

FIX: Not as obvious as it might have been, but here is the solution to my problem. I used the Search function to find the adb_usb.inf file - umm... it's in .android, not android. Once I added those ids, everything was fine.

No Market?

Achieved root, copied over the system folder from the zip, but no market. Did I miss something?

What about Recovery?

Just wondering if there is a recovery option as yet? That would be so helpful!

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

Yeah, this happened to me too. And for some reason, when you go to the \system folder and look in apps there is another apps folder in there. I think there is something really odd going on with root manager possibly. I don't know what the deal is, but none of the Google Apps are running.

I've tried several older 4.0.x versions of GAPPS, and I will be danged if I can get any of them to work. I'm rooted OK, but that's all that worked thus far.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jmasters:
Good instructions! But failure... and then success

The instructions were great above! The pointer to the version of google play was bad, but I found this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934441 and after using Root explorer to do the appropriate permissions at / and /system, and on the renamed file, it works!

---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------

Now that I got Google Play to work...

I am having an odd problem however - the installation of apps stalls at 0% for about 30 seconds, and then continues. And as the percentage is updated, I see app screens cycling. And little google play shopping bags start to stack up in my "task tray" area of the tablet.

Does anybody else have that problem? It's very annoying! It seems like the downloaded apps not only install but open, eating up precious memory.

Speaking of which, how is the flash memory used? (4 GB), and not having apps take up the 500 MB that's available?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spycom773469:
It is 4GB shared. I haven't tried looking at the partition table.

There is only 2GB usable, it's on the TF card, I moved the apps there.

Not sure how to access the SD card to put apps there.

My GAPPS are working fine. I thought about killing that /system/system folder and manually placing the files via adb.

Try checking the permissions too, I think they need to be 644 or better.

I've put the Tablet away for now, I will tinker again later probably.

How to move apps internally to TF card?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amjtech:
You have to extract the zip file, remount the file systems as rw and copy the /system folder from the zip into the / of the device so that all the files goto their proper places... if you have /system/system it was not copied correctly...

as far as those not getting ADB to reconize the tablet.. a) make sure you have usb debugging turned on and b) you put the hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file.. See the ** important note ** in Step 2!

Unzipping Files

I have read and followed your directions to download the files, but, my unit keeps saying it can not open any zip files.

Do you have any idea why it may say this or how to get around this problem so I can continue as instructed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jmasters:
unzip on your computer and transfer over, or use root explorer

You can unzip them on your computer and then transfer them over, or use root explorer on your tablet. You'll have to hold your finger on the .zip file for a few seconds and then the unzip option pops up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] netizenmt:
Well, everyone be careful! When my Google Play would not install properly, I tried to clean the tablet up, ie, put it back to its original condition. Somehow, I managed to cause something to crash, and from then on, the tablet won't boot past the Android startup screen, although I can adb into it and it is still rooted, etc. What I've got now is a project tablet - HOW TO UNBRICK THE BRICK.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] midnite48161:
my bricked too

I hope you do so or some body find a way to unbrick this thing as for me i still have 26 days to return mine.i got to the part where I was about to paste the system I hit yes then everything locked up. I noticed before I hit yes it said do you want to merge and copy the files over not do you want to overwrite it but I still hit yes bad idea. can anybody tell me why I said merge and copy. well this is the second one I have bricks follow the steps perfect got all the way to the end and this is what happens so I took the first 1 back guess I'm going to take a second back also and try again until i figure out what I'm doing wrong.has anybody maked a rkimage or a .zip. update that will work to re cover this thing. I would be willing to try it out for you because I can.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amjtech:
try doing an ADB shell

then the following commands

su

wipe data

this will reset the user partition. I had something similar happen on mine.. BTW 'wipe all' will definitly brick your tablet so be carefull ;)

If you still cannot get it I was almost in a car accident yesterday and my tablet went flying and broke the screen... If you confident with a soldering iron I now have a plt-7035 mainboard prerooted and playstore installed for sale for $25 including shipping.. it would involve soldering 6 wire and the wifi antenna if your up to it pm me,, I know its good as I was able to ADB into it and run su and wipe data to reset it.. ;)

-Andrew
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amjtech:
Actually that is correct. Its just a generic "hey this folder exists" message. It does not actually delete the system folder it just adds the files. I am guessing it locked up while copying and you have a corrupted playstore file... See if you can still adb into it.. if you can your goal would be to find the command line options (google is your friend here) to remount the /system folder rw and go threw the zip identify all the files and locations and go threw one by one and delete them.

-Andrew
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amjtech:
That or if someone wants to sell or donate me a unit with problems it would allow me to extract the ROM and I could *hopefully* put together a recovery image once I have a working unit again. All the big lots here in Vegas are out of them I went to 3 different stores last night.. :(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SeldomSeen31:
I'm a bit confused. I seem to have done everything correctly, but the GAPPS didn't install as best I can tell. I have root access, system boots up, but playstore app is not listed. I can see via exploerr:

internal memory ->extracted->gapps->system->app

a whole list of APKs. Being new to this I didn't want to install them as that wasn't listed in the process, figured I would check here.

Also, in that list of APKs, none stands out as being the playstore. Happy to install all of them if that is how it is supposed to work. Just didn't want to make a brick of it at this point.

Very new to this rooting, managed to root a kindle fire before but this was something else entirely.

Trying to get 2 of these set up for my young children as xmas gifts. Found them on a black friday deal for $49 which was too good to pass up.

Thanks!

Well, I found it and installed it but having the same issue as AustinWolfClaw above that the playstore continues to crash.

stuck

I have the same model PLT7035PL proscan tablet from Biglots, My question: I did your process, all the way up to step 8 #6, in which it did not ask to overwrite, it merely asked to merge, I (being a little bit on the have asleep side) said sure. Moments later, it loops trying to get into a recovery, but back during the first few steps, I never got the tablet to show up on the ADB(ABD?) thing so that I can basically soft reset it through the shell as someone had mentioned. Is there anyway I can fix this problem? Or in literal terms am I "screwed"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] T.L.Hingan:
Just did this with my xmas gift :) came across these issues:

Its the APPS you want, in the /sdcard/gapps-ics-20120429-signed/system/apps folder. I did this by selecting them individually, rather than the whole folder. Theres a multi-select mode for this. Then it was easy to paste them into the appropriate /system/apps folder. Then I had to change the permissions on the new apks to match the existing ones, by long pressing each one and choosing permissions.

after that was straight, rebooting got me right on track.

Thank You!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ak0monoper:
so you just moved the apks to the system/app folder and rebooted and that was it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KiaraTheDragon:
permissions are definately set wrong on the files Most not all but i went through and gave all right permission and got it rooted and marketed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] T.L.Hingan:
I changed their permissions once they were in there too. Look at existing apk permissions, look at what you just moved. Make the bew match the old. Reboot. Be happy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rainabba:
ALMOST there

I have two of these and after MUCH effort, have them rooted with the Play Store but I'm still having some odd issues. Some Google apps work fine (like GTalk), but others when installed from the market, FC no matter what (clearing Dalvik cache, wiping data, uninstall/reinstall, etc..) Chrome and Gmail are prime examples. Non-Google apps seem fine though.

I used Vending 3.10.10 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934441

I've also mounted /system and run fix_permissions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221591

That makes me think it's something in lib or framework maybe, but I've hit a dead end. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jay123035:
Got it

tried a few times but could never get the system folder or even app folder to over write, always nested. so i gave up on trying. copied the play store apk (called phonesky, or something) to the app folder. and matched its permissions with the other apps in the folder. rebooted. and was off to the races with root, and market fully working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SeldomSeen31:
Thanks for this. I was having the same issue. I was setting the folders to R/W copying and pasting and saying YES to overwrite, but it never did overwrite. I copied the apk as you did, set the permissions to match the other apps and bingo, it loads and doesn't crash constantly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SeldomSeen31:
I couldn't get gmail to work either. I have no idea about the rest of the stuff you said, way over my head.

The playstore works like a charm now after fixing persmissions. I wasn't able to get Angry Birds to run which was a bit of a disappointment. But the other kid learning apps that I've installed for my young children all seem to be working fine.

I was hoping to revive my tablet with his rom after I flashed the wrong update from proscan a couple weeks ago. Apparently the leters B and PL look the same after about 5 drinks.

I'm having the same problem. But the rom is good it will boot if you flash the kernel for the plt7035-b but there is no touch screen support but you can use a mouse. along with a few other quirks. Not Ideal I know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Android2013_:
It looks like we are in the same boat.

My guess is that there are even different ones under the hood of plt7035-pl.

One difference from yours is that when I flashed the plt7035-b rom into my plt7035-pl the screen of my plt7035-pl dimmed out and turned to totally black after few seconds. Pressing the power button will wake it up to the unlock dialogue. But not long it went back to sleep again. Have you experienced the same?

By the way, the customer services at Curtis International is not helpful at all.

I have no way of verifying the above, but if your tablet is not responding at all, then give it a try is all I can say - and Oma has couple of different JB roms on the crewrk site - I too had the black screen initially when I tried a couple, but eventually found that the V1.2.3 worked best with the Proscan 7035-B that is with me (that tablet has seen atleast a dozen flashes so far and thankfully survived).
