Hi. I am new here and I want to root my polaroid. I have a ptab1050 a 4.1.1 android version. I would like to root it, but not sure what rooting file I should use, please someone help me. Thank you in advance.

Worked on V2 firmware!

Worked for me on ptab8000 firmware v2.0.

Thanks to androidPizza!

I had Unrooted v2 Firmware, so I used v1.6b to root the device, and then I used v2.1b to install gapps and fix. Excellent!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RunDickRun:
PMID906 ??

I tried this method with my mothers PMID906 in hoops to get it running a little more smoothly. The installer does starts to do it's thing, but seems to always get hung up at the same spots in the end. It reads running on both "pushing superuser.apk" and "running restore exploit". The tablet will then pop up the restore screen which has two lines for you to type in encryption passwords and two buttons at the bottom- "do not restore" and "restore my data". Pushing either does nothing from what I have seen. A time or two when I have backed out of the screen it has began the reboot and started repairing files (the next step in the AIO if I recall correctly). Never did push superuser.apk through fully though. Seemed like everything else got completed except that... Any ideas? Did yours go through all of these processes as well with the PMID705x?

brick?

so I got a PTAB8000 - worked for a day out of the box, then it would turn on but the screen would be blank (background light on, still, so it starts). Polaroid logo also showed up ok.

I wanted to root it anyway, so I:

Followed the links here to get the firmware, flashing to v2 seemed to be ok, but it never fully started. Polaroid logo ok, then "preparing SD card" and then screen will go blank again. need to turn it off by holding power for 10 sec. turn on again, same story - blank shortly after the system comes up.

So I flashed back to v1 --> while flashing, halfway through the progress bar being all blue, screen goes blank... I left it like that extra 10min, then shut it off by holding power. Not it's stuck at the Polaroid screen.

Tried reflashing v1 - same story, it goes to blanc halfway through. Then stuck at polaroid screen.

did I brick it? if yes, why - I had the correct FW and it even started the first time (although not completely). Maybe someone here can help and it's still not wasted money...

PMID906 vs 705x

It does take a while to run (the tab is not the speediest thing out there)

but I did not get hung up on an encryption password .

Try the do not restore option, (unless you've already got some form of recovery manger

installed, in which case I can't help with that.)

If I recall, I might not have been notified that su was installed properly, it was just there

and working at the end of the process.

I'm not sure if there are enough differences between 906 vs 705 kernal

maybe the tool won't work for 906, I don't know.

HELP

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this...but I need some help and can't find any info about this tablet anywhere on the net.

My son has a Polaroid PTAB780. (kids tablet 2)

Last weekend it popup an OTA update (v1.3.1), so I started downloading it. The update downloader screen locked up and crashed...it would not open up again. So I restarted the tablet, now it wont boot. It just shows the polaroid logo, then an android with an ! mark. If I press the volume button, the recovery menu appears. I tried to wipe data and cache...but it didn't help, the tablet just keeps rebooting between the poloird logo and the andriod bot with an ! mark,

Unfortunately Polaroid support tells me there is no update for this tablet available for download (phh go figure)...the only way to for them to fix it is for me to send it in again (first time it broke and the touch screen never worked right)..last time it took like 2 months.

does anyone here have one? Is there Anyway I can reflash this?? Is it possible to access it by ADB?

...I am sure it was just a failed update...not sure why it would try and flash the incomplete OTA download but I guess it did. :confused:

UPDATE 8/10/14 -- [Quick Survey] Should we continue development?

As I am sure some of you have noticed by now, this project has not been under active development for over a year now. We had an event that resulted in a loss of the source code for the project. As a result, the project was put on the back burner as it worked "OK"-ish. Between the 1.6b and 2.1b releases it did meet the requirements at the time, which was to root and install a full play store on the PTAB8000, and PMID800 devices. While these devices may not be as popular at this time (they had a fairly high failure rate). There are other Generic devices that people have used this program on, with mixed results. I did have a PTAB8000 with a cracked screen donated a while back. As long as we have people to test/debug, and support the project however they can. I am willing to start the project from scratch (again).

All I ask is for a few minutes of your time to take a quick survey to help me understand the interest we have in this project.

Click here to take the survey.

UPDATE 8/11/14 -- Why doesn't this work with my Device?

I just wanted to clear a few things up. I have had a few inquires about PAIO (Polaroid AIO) not installing Google Framework on their devices. The current releases of PAIO only have framework support for Android 4.0.x. While PAIO v1.6b should be able to root 4.0, and 4.1 devices, the application will refuse to load the framework on a non-compatible version of android. If your tablet is not running a variant of Ice Cream Sandwich, it's simply not compatible. If we continue development we can support newer versions of Android. But, for now you would have to install the framework manually. If you would like to pursue a manual install I recommend you check out this page: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps Make sure you know what you are doing, and install the version that is correct for your device. I'm waiting to get more feedback on the poll before I decide to continue this project.

Have a great week everyone,

Wayne

Hi

Im new here in xda, but I do know. bout the basics in rooting a phone

Just wanted to know if this software works with Polaroid PROF700,

Running on android 4.2.2. Im a bit confused though about the info of this software.

I also googled for any info regarding the device, but I was unable to get

Substantial answers for my concern.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeODH4:
I'm not sure if the exploit used to gain root in this utility was patched in 4.2.2 or not. But feel free to try the 1.6b package. Either it will work, or it won't. It will not harm your device either way. Neither version support loading Google apps on your device though. You would have to manually install them.

i tried 1.4 on my friends tablet. The process went well. it rooted, and installed super user, but no play store. so selected the option to remove play store and framework, then un rooted. the tablet seemed to start acting up giving foce closes on almost everything. so i went into revovery and did a factory reset. the tablet booted back up, but now it wont install any apps. When he tries to download the amazon app store, it will download, but when he goes to install it gives him an error and closes the installer. I really hope i didnt mess up his tablet!

Same problem for me..

I get the same exact results...SU is installed...but no Google Play.. I get no error messages from AIO 1.4b...it says that all is pushing ...and reports that its done...after reboothing...still no GooglePlay or anything else...just the SU icon in app drawer...

I have reverted a couple times to the Firmware from Southerntelecom...but the one on their website is ver.1 and not ver2 as I've seen mentioned elsewher..

By the way...my computer recognizes the PTAB8000 when the PIO starts running..

Am I missing something? I'm kind of a newb..hehehe

Oh by the way...i almost forgot to mention that I think your work TeODH4...was fantastic...I thought I had this silly ptab8000 on the ropes thanks to you...

I have confidence you can get it sorted..!

Try 1.5b, should fix your issues, and install the Play Store. If 1.5b does not help follow this tutorial to restore the tablet: http://southerntelecom.com/polaroidsupport/firmware/firmware_guide_ptab8000.html

Ok, so I found the bug in the code. The APKs are now pushed just fine. I've also fixed the error checking. If any files fail to transfer AIO will now let you know why. Give 1.5b a shot and let me know how it goes. If you get any errors please take a screenshot.

1.6b installed great

I just installed the 1.6b update and the Play store installed and works great! Anyone know why such a limited amount of apps show up? My kids want Bloon TD 5 and it wont show up. Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeODH4:
I've been doing alot of research on getting the full play store. As I do not have a tablet to debug on, it makes it hard to debug. But as long as you guys are willing to continue testing my releases, I feel we can make it happen. I am uploading v1.7b, this release changes and adds some permissions to /system/permissions and updates the /system/build.prop to hopefully trick the Play Store into giving you access to all the apps.

1) Remove Google Apps

2) Install Google Apps

3) If you still don't have the full Play Store, do a factory reset.

Please let me know either way if this works or does not work for you, and what tablet you have. If you get any errors, please post the results.

1.7b install feedback

Hello. 1.7b installed well on my PTAB8000 (no errors). No issues entering Google Play Store but it appears limited (example, Google Sky Map not available). Also, the auto rotation on my tablet is now off by 90 degrees (goes into landscape mode when held vertically and portrait mode when I rotate horizontally). The auto rotate registers but display is alway one step off of what it should be. Has anyone else seen a rotation issue???

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] phate:
I'm having issues with rotation as well. When I rotate the tablet so the home button is down the screen rotates as if the home button was to its right. Removing the GAPPs and framework did not fix the issue. I'm pretty sure whatever changes where made to the build.prop are to blame.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] psctornado:
why not just use 1·6 & use the all link posted on the 1st post . just an idea!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] phate:
If anyone ran the 1.7b and is having the rotation issue, pushing the stock build.prop (attached) fixes the issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeODH4:
Thanks for posting the original build.prop. I will be taking 1.7b down. To push the old build.prop with the software, simply download, and rename it to PTAB8000.prop and put it in the Resources/build folder. Run the software and all should be good.

build.prop doesn't seem to effect google play at all on the ptab8000... even tried using a nexus 7 fingerprint to no advail. any ideas guys?

Use Aptoide for now?

Polaroid AIO gives you the Google Services framework, allows Gmail and Google Voice to install without issues. But as all of you have seen the Play Store is looking a little limited at the moment. I've found that Aptoide can find any app you would want to download. If its not in the official repository, it will find it in other repositories (other stores, aptoide will automaticly link you, and add the new repository). Give it a shot!
