Hello, everybody!

I've been hunting for information about this tablet for some time and decided to stop leeching info and share what I got so far (not much but could be helpful). My primary goal isn't really a flashy ROM (no pun intended, neither about flashing nor adobe flash :)), but a rooted device.

Here's what I know:

First of all, my tablet is sold by a different name, but is essentially the same device as next 3, probably a generic Chinese tablet. It is called Prestigio MultiPad PMP3084B:

XXX

All software should be completely compatible between these two devices, as far as I know.

As you can see, Prestigio has recently updated the firmware to 2.1.2. It still has a lot of bloatware (fring, facebook, etc) and cannot be rooted by usual tools, but includes SlideMe app market and an updated book reader (I have used it for a couple of days now and not much is changed from the previous build). If you nextbook users want to try a different firmware, you could try this one (or at least use it in future ROM cooking).

For some reason the links on the main Prestigio website don't work, so here are the links with working files:

XXX

The most useful thing for us should be the instructions and tools for flashing. The instructions given in the .doc files work 100%, both driver installation and flash procedure are fully explained, so be sure to check it out.

Another useful thing I found are the instructions for making a custom rooted ROM for rk2818 devices, found at XXX

I haven't had the time to try those out, but I found some info about people who made it work on various rk2818 devices.

Lets make this thread useful to others, share our experiences and try to unlock the bloody thing. :)

Edit: Unfortunately, the forum has a spam-preventing feature which doesn't allow me to post outside links before accumulating 8 posts. I will gladly send you the links through PM, just contact me. It would be nice if somebody with higher user privileges could then post them in this thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] p177:
I'm glad to join your initiative, hopefully we can achieve something in this thread. Just one small correction: the screen is 8.4'', which is important as it makes this tablet stand out from generic 7'' tablets.

Hello I have a Prestigio PMP3084B whixh seems to be based on the same hardware as NextBook Next3. PMP3084B even has a secondary interface which looks exactly as the one on the Next3.

I'm trying to root my device, but had no luck yet. If this Next3 got rooted maybe there is a chance for me too. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] y2k-inc:
But Prestigio has just release a newer Firmware Build than the Next3 ... i have saw the ROM on Odys Genesis and it's a better interface than the others two :)

No ONE has got Permanent ROOT except your wonderful work, but just that there are newer build than Next3 :) if you can root it and put a working market then it's a great of both world ... hope fully one of the other two will put out Froyo for this device ... Thanks again for you hard work ... keep it up ...

it was the usb plug its damage upgrading thanks again :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
scull11: i dont test RU version, but B version read my previous post. RU if i remember correctly only add moar bloatware(imdb lnk, some russian shop and maps...)and default language its russian).

felipebarrera: problem solved. You´re welcome ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BussJefe:
Good day. I need some help if possible. I've installed froyo on my PMP3084B and now i cannot install back 2.1. When i put update.img in root directory, i have message "found invalid update", with RKAndroidBatchUpgrade flushing start, but on the end "update: 0, fail: 1". Tried three computers with win7 64, win7 32 and winxp. Maybe anybody have any ideas what is wrong. Tks beforehand.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scull11:
Why u will take back to 2.1 ? :) srry i have no idea
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
BussJefe: Are you really sure you off tablet correctly before reflashing or use correct img? Maybe test another firmware.

use only at your risk

extreme dangerous idea(i use it last night because i flash accidently archos firmware and display not work)

reflash is hold reset on tablet, plug tablet to usb(RKAndroidBatchUpgrade is ON), hold pgd down and unhold reset.

donaldj83: really sory, but this sd card works perfectly but not tonight(all its sd card fault not me, not video player *whistle*) D: also if i dont think about live wallpaper i really dont see any bugs...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
holy cow spirit you are on top of things lol some one buy spirit an sd card!!!! lol ill fiddel with the video and the live walpapers later on i have to do a few things and ill be back to do this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
Hello donald , I got 2 issues so far:

Aldiko book reader and Angry birds can't install say : "could't install to USB storage or SD card"

Battery upgrade program rotates my screen by 180 degreeds and stuck it there. This is for now
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
shurrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee the sd card uh huh.... lol

just relized some thing i had it unpluged for a while my battery meeter is showing 4 hours 33 mins and my battery bar on top still shows full.... that cant be right....hey also cpu boost light works on this and i set it too 883200 and it seems to of made it go faster i meen it feels that way no garentee on if its lagit or not i donno some thing to look into and the hole angry birds thing im having same problems sdcard some ishue i donno
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BussJefe:
tks for idea, but it wouldn't work. the point is: through the RKAndroidBatchUpgrade i can flash any 2.2 firmware and it works, but cannot downgrade to 2.1. froyo took from this site, 2.1 tried original by prestigio, and custom from 4pda.ru, all without success.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
ya i see the angry birds problem apparently its common with froyo im looking for a solution if you find anything b4 me please post it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
D: sd card *yell* yes liwe wallpaper work only 1 from 3 but i use only the one which is functional =)

internal memory only 500m, sd card 2gb and no sdcard in slot o.O if i put sdcard tablet see it(uplug one - internal memory?!, corectly recognize sd card)... Its look like tablet internal memory firmware see as sdcard :eek:

and yeah same problem with angry birs... it is related with my unclear description above?

weird, only today i reaflashed firmware 15x (2.1 - 2.2) and no problem o.O.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BussJefe:
it is :). after flashing last, v3 froyo, firmvare from here, in my computer device identified as ARCHOS 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BussJefe:
Update. Tried to flash firmware from archos simply put update.img to the root directory on device. update recognized and flashed, but screen didn't work as Spirit_Paladin mentioned. after try to flash official 2.2.12 without positive result. finally flashed with 2.2 v3, without any problem. something strange happening with my device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
Ok some new "probably bugs" after cca 30(auto screen off - 2min) blink screen 4-6x and somethimes freeze device in "sleep mode(screenoff). ver3 froyo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aleksandar777:
HI,

I upgraded to v3. How can i calibrate display?

BR,

Alex
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aleksandar777:
All same here. Cant go back to original Prestigio fw. 2.1.2 or 2.1.12

Nor any here , with market rooter, market rooted stripped. etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
You deserve all my congratulations, I'm sure that neither NextBook nor Prestigio will release Froyo for our little marvels (mine is a branded Next3 named Master-G). I'm enjoying the fruits of your wonderful job. I'll be aware or your future releases.

I used to mod all my MP4 (I have half a dozen) searching for new features and looking for the good sound of them. This Rockchip brings an awesome sound compared with my Meizu M6 and Cowon D2, with its fantastic screen of 8.4. You have revamped my technologic research with your work.

I've installed Froyo v3 because i suppose is most advanced of all you posted. Despite it has less tools in the package

Again, eternally grateful for what you have done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] estugarda:
First of all, I'd like to thank donald and rest of you guys for everything you do for the community.

I'm testing the Froyo v3 for a day now.

The issues I have with Froyo v3 on Presitigio PMP3084B:

1. Settings>About Phone>Status doesn't work. The app Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

2. Although the touchscreen seems slightly more responsive than on 2.1.2., it is also imprecise on my device. There was no calibration upon starting the Froyo for the first time, and I think calibration would help it. However, I can't find the calibration thing anywhere. Am I missing something? If the calibration tool is not included, can it be downloaded from somewhere?

3. Market is missing many apps, and search in it doesn't produce good results. For instance searching for a well known "Yahoo Mail" produces 2 results which have nothing to do with Yahoo Mail. I did check "show all apps" in Market settings, but it seems to turn off automatically upon every search.

4. I also miss the stock reader with hardware buttons support. I tried to install the one from 2.1.2 official ROM, but it fails to open files (PDF) on Froyo v3. It installs fine, but crashes upon opening any PDF. It is also stuck at 800*480px when opened directly.

5. Sometimes the standby screen (the one with the slider) is wrongly resized to 800*480px which is probably the resolution of Archos7. This is also evident in the the status bar drop down tray.

6. Wi-Fi seams to turn off by itself after some time. Maybe it happens when it's not used as a battery saving feature. I didn't find a way to switch it off.

7. Gmail app fails to install.

8. Flash fails to install.

9. Root explorer not working.

Any chances to solve those issues?

PS It would be great to have a rooted and cleaned up official Prestigio 2.1.12 ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
You can fix market (point 3) by using tutorial from page 1 about fixing market in froyo , just make shore to clear cashe in Market and clear data in Google Services Framework and you will get all applications.

Also I found another bug , in landscape mode virtual keyboard acts as if maximum resolution is 800x480 , so it's missing keys.

Donald is missing , must be kidnaped by prestigio secret agenst :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] estugarda:
No, unfortunately that fix didn't help me. Market is still not working properly. Not that I mind really. It's just a waste of time and bandwidth anyway.

But some other issues are a big deal. If I'll be able, I'm going back to 2.1.2 tonight.

Landscape keyboard works fine here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
1. Bug confirmed :)

2. Calibration tool is not included, idk its downloadable. But sreen works fine... better than original firmware with callibration(ok its only subjective feel withnout prove).

3. "Find Market. clear cache & force stop

Find Google Services Framework. clear data & force stop

Now when you try to open the Market, it closes and you get an error.

Reboot phone, Market should be fine now." - that fix dont work? hmm weird, but software are weird always.

4. But stock reader dont support czech diacritic... pdf work fine with adobe pdf reader, and yes hardware buttons work otherwise than original irmware(pgup/pgdown), its be fine if work in froyo same like orig firmware...

5. I only see that before restart device, after restart resolution always fine for me.

7. Gmail work fine for me o.O
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] estugarda:
I've tried that fix for Market. It didn't work.

I'm back to 2.1.2 RU rooted. No problems here. I have a feeling it runs smoother than Froyo v3. And the TS is definitely more precise when calibrated on my device. I think it is more responsive on Froyo though.

PS Launcher Pro really improves the interface. And looks great too.

It would be good to know what new did official v2.1.12 bring. And if it's good, I'd like to see it cleaned up and rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spirit_Paladin:
Yes its be nice newest firmware cleaned(only bloatware, nothing more, but what is bloatware and what is really useful?) and rooted and maybe with new version on fbreader(preinstaled book reader is very old fbreadet i think with crappy czech diacritics D:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] p177:
Lately I've been too lazy to re-install firmwares and repeatedly adjust settings, and used my device for reading and surfing. I would just like to ask/point out a couple of things.

1. Besides the terrible (Prestigio) boot screen, the boot time of the device is terrible. Is there a way to speed up the boot (some utility or possible firmware upgrade)?

2. The boot speed issue shows another issue of mine: I always turn off my device when not using it. Is it smarter to just put it in stand-by? Is battery depleted much faster when in stand-by, in comparison to ordinary shut down?

3. Does anybody have a general list of changes/improvements made in the newest Prestigio firmware?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] estugarda:
I am personally not aware of any utility that would speed up the boot. The only thing that can I think worth of doing in terms of speeding up the boot is removing all the bloatware. And this has been already done almost perfectly by donald. I doubt we will get further than that.

The first cleaned up version by donald was fastest in booting.

Prestigio 2.1.2 RU (especially latest donald's clean version) is slower in booting (for me) but smoother in interface and apps.

Of course it is depleted much faster in stand-by than while turned off. Especially if you leave the Wifi on, or have some apps running. In the first weeks I used to deplete approx. 50% of the battery for reading and light surfing and then I would let it go to standby. The next morning it was empty. I think the batteries don't like getting completely discharged and kept like that. So now, I turn my tablet off when I know I won't be using it any time soon. Usually at around 50%. Next morning it is still at approx 40%. I can use it again until it depletes.

It is a slow, but I think it's bearable. I just took the time on mine. 1:32 until I'm all the way in. I'm using the latest Presitigio 2.1.2 RU ROM cleaned and rooted by donald. At this point I already installed around 15 apps, so it would be faster completely clean. The first 2.1.2 by Donald was faster in booting.

I'd like to see that one too, but I doubt anybody but someone from Prestigio can really tell us that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
I think that I found improvement in new prestigio firmware , it can play angry birds :)

look here

SD Card 32GB

Donald you are the man!

I can only see my sd card when I format it in Fat32 although I know Fat 32 maybe only supports up to 4GB? I see the whole 32GB under Fat32 for some reason. I know the card is an SDHC by its size. What am I doing Wrong or Right? I only tested NTFS, EXFAT available from ormatiting within windows 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steinmeierl:
First off, thank you for all your hard work. It's nice to know that someone hasn't completely abandoned this area. Secondly, is there a download link that ISN'T from MegaUpload? I can't get ANYTHING to download from there (after trying two computers and a tablet on two different internet connections)! Thanks much!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
I'm afraid that you'll have to get yourself a new SD card.

This device supports cards only up to 16GB...

And from my experience it works best with 8GB models.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BussJefe:
So, due unable to downgrade back to 2.1 continue observe froyo on my prestigio and found several bugs. First no root access at least for systemapp remover and adfree programs. Even more, when you start adfree device turns screen upside down. Screen sensitivity not bad, but sometimes respond with delay. Market works after fixing, but it was necessary to try start market after delete cache etc., to get market error before reboot device. Additionaly found when tried to flash original 2.1.12 firmware through RKAndroidBatchUpgrade boot version was 5.03, froyo has 4.13. May be this is the resason whay i cannot flash 2.1 back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
flash back with rk

ive flashed up, down and side to side so i know that works
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roby811:
back to 2.1

I'm downgrade back to 2.1 with RKAbu and only works with Odys Genesis original firmware...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aleksandar777:
I succeded to flash down, by connecting USB cable to rear PC connector.

Do not know was that main reason...
