PMP5770D Duo rooted!

Hello all,

To any owners of PMP5770D DUO still looking to root their device, it has finally worked! Confirmed just now - 14/3/2013.

Its been a while now, so i thought to come back and see if there were any updates regarding this request i posted.

After going through this thread, i noticed also that the "Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 11.03.2013]" had been updated.

So, i downloaded the latest version "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21" from the respective thread.

Extracted contents to a folder easy to go to via command line, and run the batch file. (RunMe.bat)

My suggestion is it would be better to open a command prompt and execute the batch file (not double clicking it from explorer)

This way, if anything goes wrong or process gets stuck you may see whats happening.

Anyways, lets get on with it.

Before proceeding, make sure tablet has Debugging ON and ALL ADB drivers are installed on your computer.

I performed this on Win7 x64 just fine. The tablet info is exactly as i bought it:

Model number: PMP5770D

Android version: 4.0.4

Kernel version: 3.0.8-ge04d3bb amlogic@droid #98

Build number: PMP5770D_20121109_V2.0.14.IMM761.user.root.20121109 (this is dumb's prestigio latest release)

I will post the entire procedure here so this will be quite long. At certain points, you will see that there are sections starting and ending

with these {{ and }} . This is me explaining what actually is happening to the tablet so in case it happens to you as well, then don't worry.

At some points you may see errors like "FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS". This is because i actually had run this process more than once

while trying different options etc until i got it working. So, if anything needs mentioning, it will be in {{ }}.

Also, in Bold text are the options i selected through out this batch file.

Need to reboot now!

Waiting for device to come up again....

{{ RIGHT AT THIS POINT, tablet did reboot but root process was stuck here}}

{{ what i did to resolve this issue, was simply to unplug the usb cable }}

{{ from the tablet and plug it back in - while this command window was open}}

{{ after that, the process proceeded as follows}}

Unlock your device, a Terminal will show now, type this 2 lines, after each line press ENTER

/data/local/tmp/onload.sh

/data/local/tmp/onload2.sh

after this is done press a key here in this shell to continue!

If the shell on your device does not show please re-start the process!

Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }

Press any key to continue . . .

{{ AT THIS POINT, a command shell opened up on the tablet and i did try to execute }}

{{ the above shell scripts mentioned. However when i tried to go to the /data/local/tmp }}

{{ directory, it seems that in my case /data/local/ was empty or inaccessible. }}

{{ I tried switching to root, even searched for any onload.sh files in the whole filesystem, }}

{{ but with no luck. Eventually, i simply hit Enter to continue the batch-file (here, not on the tablet }}

{{ Procedure procedeed as below - with one more reboot }}

You can close all open command-prompts now!

After reboot all is done! Have fun!

Bin4ry

Press any key to continue . . .

{{ and here is where the batch file process ends }}

After the whole process was done, i didn't expect anything to happen, but in any case

i thought i'd check with Root Checker - to see if anything had changed.

To my suprise, it seems that this new updated version of Root many android worked.

So, download from the forum the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21" from POST "Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 11.03.2013]"

To sum it up,

I would like to personally say THANK YOU to all contributors for this!

I know i speak on behalf of all PMP5770D DUO owners who have been waiting for this for a while.

To the forum Admins, you may now close this thread or POST somewhere a Sticky that this has been resolved.

Also, if you have a list, please update it --> PMP5770D DUO rooted successfully!

Thanks again and if anyone has trouble doing it, please PM me anytime for help.
