Got this to work on a PMID705x with a little extra.

Installed Android SDK following this tut

cant post links so added a space infront of the .net "londatiga .net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/".

Then I made the system read write using ADB "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

Then ran PolaroidAIO.

I had previously semi bricked the tablet doing the PolaroidAIO 1st then remount RW And using SwitchMe.

I Followed Poloroids FAQ on lost tablet password

cant post links so added a space infront of the .com "polaroid .com/faqs/tablet-faqs/i-forgot-my-password-on-the-tablet-how-do-i-reset-it"

Was able to download OEM rom. This rom is 4.0.4 Not 4.1

Do a factory reset in recovery mode. If that doesn't work try reflashing (reinstalling) the stock ROM (factory software) from Polaroid's website.

Hi:

I am new hwere as well as a novice with tablets. I just purchased a 7" poalroid pmid 705x from big lots (running jelly bean). I would love to install Google play - will the steps mentioned here work, is there a tutorial on the same?

Many thanks in advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Android Pizza:
It should work. Download version 1.6 and the latest version of the program, plug in your tablet with USB Debugging on in developer options, select "Root only". Now, use the latest version of the program and select "Add Google Apps".

If this works for you or it doesn't work for you, report back here with your results.

Edit: I forgot, the program doesn't yet support Google Apps for JB. Skip the last parts and just try to root.

This is just feedback here - no success. I have tried v1.6 and 2.1b with my PMID705x - Android 4.1. I put the tablet in debug mode and stay awake (in Developer Options), connected it to my computer via USB, activated USB Storage on the tablet and started the All-In-One program (first v1.6, then v2.1b) on my PC. Nothing happens. v 1.6 shows Waiting for device to become ready: [Waiting]. v2.1b shows: Checking if ADB server is running: Service Running; Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29 (no status beside this - don't know if there should be); and Waiting for device to become ready: Waiting. I have tried shutting off USB Storage and starting again. Nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root my tablet. Google Play would be a nice addition, too. Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeODH4:
Android Pizza,

I no longer have the source-code for this project as the Hard Drive with all of my development stuff was stolen. To fix the root check issue would mean to code the app from the ground up again. I don't necessarily mind doing so, however at the moment I don't have any type of android device. I may pickup another cheap Polaroid tablet in the near future to continue development with. But as of right now, this project is on hold. If anyone has a tablet they would like to loan or donate to the cause, I will be happy to start development up again.

I would also like to mention at this time that I am working on a new multi-display, cross platform presentation / video playback system. Allowing you to sync video playback between multiple devices controlling everything from one master. You can easily create a video wall with some spare computers (or even some raspberry pis), and cheap monitors.

Still in alpha, but proof of concept is working... I'll be working on adding features. Initial support will be Windows, Mac, Linux (including Raspberry PI). But, I hope to bring the client app to Android, IOS, and Windows Phone in the near future as well.

Shoot me an email if you are interested in this project. wayne.hartmann@live.com

Sorry if things are jumbled for you Android Pizza. That is probably my fault. It looks clear on the website though.

Anyhow, my intent was to describe how I made this work for my pmid705x with your polaroid aio v2.1b

Other users are complaining that aio hangs, which it did for me as well, but that was before I

figured out windows goofy driver update problems and using the latest sdk with the 4.1 OS in it.

Stucked AIOv2.1b - Polaroid PROG400

Here's the steps of what I did.

a. I installed the drivers posted on this thread. (Win7 32-bit)

b. AIO automatically detects the phone after installation.

c. Started to root via "Root Device" checked. AIO accomplished series of steps, and rebooted the phone.

d. After that though, it was stucked in "Fixing file locations". (This is running for an hour or two now.) Plus, the "superuser.apk" isn't pushed yet.

Any thoughts? Or if not, is it safe to remove it from USB now?

*I cannot attach the html file generated by AIO. (Then why generate html?) Anyway, here's the screenshot.

**Really KEWL noob video btw. :laugh:

**EDIT**

I exited AIO GUI and retried the process, but again it was stucked at the same step.

I've reset the phone to factory default, so I guess there should be no more traces from AIO2.1.

Now, I tried my luck on AIOv1.6 and attached is the initinal screen I've got.

Boohoo. Looks-like no chance for me. Any thoughts?

Well my Ptab got rooted via the 2.1 download (or the 2.0). I had it say that it failed on the SU part but then SU would actually be there and working fine. I would try different versions of the download and see if they all fail. Does your PC actually detect the tab properly? I'm guessing it does since it seems to go part of the way through.

Do you have another PC to try the script from? Have you tried the root right after you freshly boot the tab up?

Amazon App Store Help, please!

Hi all -

Thank you for the instructions to root the Polaroid PTAB8000. I am so not technical, so I was so surprised it worked for me! I am successfully using the Google Play Store. I'd like to also use the Amazon app store. Can anyone help? I know from reading somewhere on the web to get the email from amazon for the amazon app store apk. My problem is that when I hit on the link from my email, it says "No SD card." I have a microSD installed, but I think the message is referring to the internal storage which the tablet calls an SD card (and all the apps I've downloaded are 0.00 for storage). I've cleaned the cache on all the apps I have on the tablet, but still no luck - still says "No SD card" when I try.

Does anyone have any guidance on how to get the Amazon app store to download onto the Polaroid tablet with this situation? Thank you so much! My email is mdeborbasilva@yahoo.com

After updating the firmware, this method no longer works on the Polaroid A8/S8. The latest firmware update completely disables ADB support in Android, and the stock recovery only supports adb "sideload", so it doesn't work there either. It appears this device may be unrootable if you install the firmware update (which is a difficult task in itself if you're on Windows 8.1).

rooted need a recovery now

:confused:

Hey there folks,

I've been working on rooting and whatnot a polaroid PMID705, (my niece's device and uncle Ken is trying to make it run better as a little bit of an x-mas present. Her parents are incapable of doing anything but pressing a power button) I was able to get it rooted, the program did it's thing where it didn't show that it pushed super su to the device but an unplug and reboot and all was good.

Now I'm looking to put cwm on this thing so I can flash some other stuff to hopefully make this bugger work a little better. I keep seeing references in the thread for a recovery but I've yet to come across the actual recovery version or a link to get it from. I've found other links to cwm but I'm slightly paranoid as to whether to use it or not.

The cwm I was able to find is labeled:

PER5274B_cwm

I have another that's just labeled:

recovery

(I checked the file properties on my pc and it shows recovery as the name there also)

So my point is, are either of these the recovery version I need, or does somebody have a link to a recovery that's compatible with this thing?

Or am I just blind and it's been staring me in the face for the past few hours?

I had the same issue it ended up being either the usb cord or the diver for the device. I know,I thoughti had the drivers installed for my nieces PMID705 but dang near every time I plugged into the pc.

Did your device auto-install the drivers when plugged in or did you download them yourself? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers several times with no change.

It's been a little bit to be honest and I've fooled with other devices since then. But I believe I uninstalled what I had for that device and reinstalled by reconnecting the device.
