AWESOME work Stylez,
Downloading now to test.
I have a feeling that i may have messed up the boot.img
I used "abootimg" to create it instead of "mkbootimg" and I think I was supposed to use "mkbootimg". Let me know if it worked anyway.
Hey Stylez,
Seems to be stuck at the boot screen. All that is showing is your Avatar logo and has been on this screen for 20 minutes.
Could the boot image be the problem?
Was able to restart the device and Flash the original image from Pendo and have restored it to the previous state for now. Am happy to test again if you change the boot image. Cheers.
Yes, I think it may be the system image that's the problem.
I needed to use mkuserimg.sh but left it as raw. I will try again.
Also, I messed up the boot image by using abootimg instead of mkbootimg
Will post URL's in a few hours.
I am also creating a guide on how to do this here (WIP)
Hi,
Here's a link to the PP4MT-9 LiveSuit Image (Root, GAPPS, 1Mobile Market).
I have not been able to test it, so i'm not 100% sure it will work.
I couldn't fit CWMR on nandg. I will try again later and upload just the nandg if I can.
I removed a CPL of apps too like Aldiko and ES Explorere and Task Manager so I could fit GAPPS etc on there. You can re install these from Market if you wish.
Cheers.

Hey styelz,
Just wondering if you would happen to know anything about the XTE-Racer (T3020 in Oz)? i was trying ROM Manager and got stuck on the green android screen, i got this mooncake recovery but when i went and did everthing and reboot it, it loads to the android and then these colored shard looking things just spin around :S i think its trying to boot and cant? ive looked at a couple of other places and am at a stand still.
Thought i would come to the homie for advice
Cheers,

Hi Styelz, when I run root_recovery.bat from windows I get the following error message:
" adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file ".
Does this mean I do not have ADB properly installed on my pc? I just installed the latest Android SDK tools. Please excuse my ignorance!
No matter what I did to my build.prop, I could not get Play Store to recognise my device for apps like Chrome, Digitally Imported Radio and Shazam.
I started to think it had something to do with the kernel. So i copied a kernel "zImage" from an update i found for a "HTC Holiday" device and created a new boot.img.
Finally, it worked!
Even RomManager works and installs a ClockworkModRecovery image.
You need adb.exe and the two DLL files.
I've added them to the zip file now.
You can also download ADB for windows >HERE<.
Just extract the EXE and DLL files to C:\windows\system32\
Hi everyone
Firstly thanks to the contributors for the great work!
Secondly, 2 total newbie questions:
1. If I attempt to root Pendo pad and something goes wrong, will I always be able to fix it by pushing the 'reset' button? I'm guessing 'no' but it would be nice to know at what point I cross the line and risk bricking the device.
2. Is there an easy newbie guide to rooting android devices (oxymoron?) someone can recommend?
Kaneelias,Are you using a 9.7 or 7 inch pendo pad? I have written up a walk through of how to root both versions and it is pretty much fail safe if you follow the instructions to the letter. There is also an option to revert back to stock rom if it does not work. If you are interested let me know what version you have and I will direct you to the walk through.
Stylez, you are my hero. Just followed your instructions and now have Playstore working. Thanks very much for your time and effort.Here is a LiveSuit Image with Full Root, CWM Recovery and GAPPS (UPDATED)
It is a two part RAR archive. Download and extract the image file.
Also, download LiveSuit Pack, extract and run LiveSuit.exe (this should install the driver for you).
Use LiveSuit and load the extracted ".img" file (press the first icon).
Make sure your tablet is off, and power and usb unplugged.
Now hold the volume down button, keep it held down and plug the USB cable in and then tap the power button about 6-8 times (tap, tap, tap). Then let go of the volume button. Nothing will appear on the tablet, but your PC should be installing the USB driver and will eventally popup a box to start the process of writing the image.
Follow the prompts and choose the "format" option so it wipes all your data.
Make a backup first if you want to keep any data on the tablet.
The fist time you boot the tablet, it will take a little longer to boot than usual, around 2 minutes.
Subsequent boots take around 40 seconds.
I have changed the boot logo and also the loading animation.
Added latest Play Store, 1Mobile, plus REGPON Wifi (keeps wifi on during sleep), Documents to Go and YouTube.
There is also a CWM Recovery image with adb access.
Everything else is stock.
The STOCK LiveSuit Image file is in comment #23.
