Greetings guys ,
I installed the drivers also on a new pc but i am getting stuck at :
* daemon not running . starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Nothing happens after , as i wrote i tested on 2 pcs
Any help pls ?

Great scott, it worked! So elegant root and wayyyyy sooner than I expected!
To the fokls having problems; I found out, that adb.exe in motochopper.zip did not want to play together with my Xperia. So I deleted it, killed adb.exe and copied latest adb.exe from android sdk to motochopper directory. Blam, no problems and I have root.
You may also manualy debug (and even root) by starting cmd.exe and calling commands manually, ie.
C:\>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
XXXXX device
If this don't show you device, you have no changes to root. If your device shows up, there should be no problems. If you devices is not showing, kill all adb.exe processes and use adb.exe from latest android sdk. Then you can even root manually and see waht step does what:
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox
And then manually reboot. Run each command manually one per one, do not copy paste every command as batch. This will teach you a lot But .bat should work.
Kudos to authors of motochopper!

Normally this should work

Thank you very much for your replies mates.
Worked perfectly.
What i did :
Disabled the Disable driver signature enforcement as jimbxl said ,
installed the Sony tablet ADB driver.
Copy from inside the folder of Sony tablet ADB the adb.exe and the .dll (2 files ) and paste it to motochopper folder.
Cheers all

Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S, P, and Xperia Tablet S

Based off the work of thecubed over in the Nook Color forums, I've created the equivalent ADB Driver installer for the Sony Tablets including the new Xperia Tablet S.
thecubed's original thread for the Nook Color: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
The installer is fully automated and negates the need to install the Android SDK or edit any files.
It has been tested under Windows 7 x32 and x64 and should also work for Vista and XP.
========================================
As of 2012 November, Windows 8 requires you to disable driver signing and MANUALLY install the drivers.
Method A:
Open an ADMINISTRATOR Command Prompt:
To disable driver signing, copy/paste the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
[RESTART]
(on your desktop you'll see the watermark: "Test mode'" until you re-enable driver signing).
Re-enable driver signing:
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
[RESTART]
Method B:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings,
Click "Change PC Settings".
Click "General".
Scroll down, and click "Restart now" under "Advanced startup".
Click "Troubleshoot".
Click "Advanced Options".
Click "Startup Settings".
Click [Restart].
Choose "Disable driver signature enforcement" (Usually #7)
Install device drivers either through the automated tool or manually.
========================================
(If you're running Windows XP, you may also need to manually install the MTP [media transfer protocol] drivers located here: http://android.mrboot.de/index.php?/archives/6-Sony-Tablet-S-MTP-driver-for-3G-version.html Thanks to cbuckmiller]
It should be quick and painless for 95% of users but if the your tablet still shows up as an unknown device, I've also included step-by-step instructions to manually install the drivers (README.txt).
ADB is also bundled in the ZIP file so you can run "adb devices" as well as any other commands.

Hi, I had to revert back to xp 32bit from w7(dont ask why), problem is Im having problems getting adb sorted. I plug my tablet in and I get a triple ping(!!) instead of the usual 2. Anyways, in device manage it comes up with an explaination mark. Ok i install the automated drivers and xp still does not install them. I make the wizard find the drivers but it reports that drivers not installed.
I feel like a right noob, window 7 was so easy.
H E L P !

Looked at above and it just gives aload of writing.
Confirming this also works for ICS updated devices.
I keep getting "error: device not found" when starting ADB (debugging is enabled). Using Android SDK adb is ok.
Also, why does the .ini have " " instead of normal spaces? I don't know if it causes problems, but I took them out when manually installing. After that, there was only the composite device listed, which I installed.
Hi.
How do I get STP installed with Win XP.
When I go to the STP download here:

I get a load of writing and no file downloaded.
Also, I haven't got a 3G version only wifi.

Right I'm going to sack this off because I will end up bricking the devices if I carry on messing about with it.
I've installed the Automated ADB Driver Installer onto my PC. I want to remove the software. How do I go about doing that?
I guess I will just put the S1 into a draw until the official ICS is released.
Thanks.
Hello me again.
I think I know what I did wrong. I'm going to watch a few more videos on how to install adb then I will try it again. I really want ICS badly and I will do what it takes to get it.
Wish me luck.

Hey,
i installed these drivers and in my device Manager it shows "Android Composite ADB Interface" so it should work. But when I try to run adb devices it just tells me "List of devices attached" but there is no. A few months ago ADB worked and I was able to do a backup with ADB. USB-Debugging is enabled. Does anybody know what could be wrong?!

Uninstall the device and check the "Delete existing files/drivers."
Restart, and try the installation again.
If there was an existing ADB driver from another Android device, it may not install correctly since it can't append to the existing Android ADB support INF.

[Q] What is "ADB" and how to run it?

Hello all, I've been really happy with my XPS ever synce I've root it and everything is working clockwork, except there is something eating my battery.
I've used "BetterBatteryStats" app, and i've got a parcial wakelock "AlarmManager" in 1st place.
I've read that to know eacly what app is waking the phone i've got to connect the phone to a Pc, run "ADB" and type "adb shell dumsys alarm > C:\alarm_log.txt".
This will creat a log file that will show what app is generating all those wake numbers, and then unistall or limit it.
The problewm is... what is ADB.EXE??? Where can i get that program for the pc? Does the phone have to be in USB debuggin mode? If someone help me I'll post a guide to anyone in need to find the problematic apps that eat battery for others noobs out there!

To perform this actions, is it mandatory that phone needs to be rooted?
Because, i followed all the steps, when i executed the command in cmd prompt, i got below info
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
What should i need to do now if phone doesn't needed to be rooted?
For using adb not necessarily ur phone rooted... but if u need to get anything insdie system folder ur phone needs root access... you can pull/push files from adb.. but it makes more easier if u do those for sdcard via windows explorer after connecting via usb..
In short its for rooted devices mostly.....
Ok, still need help on this one.
I've followed all the steps, installed SDK, phone in development, command line accepted, but then I check the log file I get this:
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
So... Why is it now finding my phone? any idea? When am i supposed to connect the phone to the pc?
Thank you for the help!

It merely will not start while I'm double-clicking it in order to proceed further. It's just blinking.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is a procedure to root the Curtis Proscan PLT7602G tablet (Build number PLT7602G-ANDROID4.2.2-v1.0.0).
1. Install adb on your computer and enable adb on the tablet. http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
2. Enable ADB on the tablet:
Settings > About Tablet > tap build number 7 times until it says "You are now a developer!"
Developer options > switch On > OK
Check "USB Debugging" > OK​
3. Connect USB and wait for ADB drivers to load on the PC. Using the Google drivers installed with ADB, your system may need manual help to find the right drivers: Go into Windows device manager > Update Driver Software > browse My Computer for driver software > 'Let me pick from a list of devices drivers...' > Pick Android ADB Interface from the model list.
4. You will see a notification "USB Debugging Connected" on the tablet.
5. If this is the first time, you will next see a dialog on the tablet asking "Allow USB debugging?" Check "Always allow from this computer" and click OK.
6. At the command prompt on the computer enter "adb devices". You should see the device listed. If not, reboot the PC and repeat steps 1 through 5 as necessary to get everything working together.
C:\Users\entropy>adb devices
List of devices attached
CD1LBROR50 device
C:\Users\entropy>​7. Download pwn.zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127
8. Unzip "pwn" from the zip file to your windows current directory
9. At the command prompt on the computer enter the following sequence of commands:
C:\Users\entropy> adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
C:\Users\entropy> adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
C:\Users\entropy> adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
Beaups and jcase were here
donations may go here, pleaes say what it was for -> [email protected]​
10. After a few seconds, you should hear the USB disconnect sound, followed by the USB connection sound again.
11. At the command prompt, enter “adb devices” and ensure the device is listed as before. If not, wait a few seconds and then repeat this step.
C:\Users\entropy> adb devices​
12. At the command prompt, enter:
C:\Users\entropy> adb shell​
7. At the shell prompt, enter "su". You should now have a root prompt.
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #​
8. Exit back out to the command prompt:
[email protected]:/ # exit
[email protected]:/ $ exit
C:\Users\entropy>​
9. On the tablet, go to the play store, download and install the latest SuperSU, or use the Google Play link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1538053
10. Open the SuperSU that you just installed. SuperSU will prompt you to install a newer su binary when you run it, so click “Continue” do that, then “Normal”, then “OK”.
11. Reboot the tablet.
The tablet should now be fully rooted. Please let me know if you find any errors or if anything is unclear. I hope you find this useful!

It has been a while since I got this working and I honestly don't remember exactly what I did to make it work.
Try this... install the official Google driver and reboot:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If i still doesn't work, download the adb_usb.ini from here and replace the adb_usb.ini in c:\users\<yourusername>\.android\adb_usb.ini with this one, then reboot and try again. I verified that this adb_usb.ini contains the necessary device ID, so that should definitely do the trick.
https://github.com/apkudo/adbusbini
If you get it working, please post here so others can benefit.
Sice I had already installed the official Google drivers I proceeded with the adb_usb.ini method, but even after rebooting my pc it didn't work... What worked for me was:
Going into window device manager -> Update Driver Software -> browse my computer for driver software -> 'let me pick from a list of devices drivers...' -> Picked Android ADB Interface (from the model list).
I don't get why it did't install it automatically since the driver is actually compatible; did the same thing with another device (Sony experia E1). I got two of them, the first one got recognized while I had to do this process for the second one... Maybe it's my pc fault..
Anyway thank you very much for your replies and the guide. Am I risking to brick the device by following it ?
P.S.
For those who have android studio installed, to run the guide prompt commands you can set an environment variable called 'adb' with this value 'C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe' and easily replacing 'adb' with '%adb%' .
For example : 'C:\Users\{any directory}>%adb% devices'

I'm glad you got ADB working. Thanks for the additional tips, I'm sure they will be useful to others.
I don't think there is any significant risk of bricking unless you make a horrible mistake, like deleting everything in /system instead of shifting the new file into place. Anything else, like accidentally picking the wrong su binary to install, should be easily recoverable by just rebooting if necessary and then trying again.

Quick info. I am rooting because of the low storage. Currently this is my storage situation :
total 4GB
Firmware 2.04GB
---------------------
Total space 1.96GB
197MB Available
232MB Apps
few KB Cached data & Misc.
There must be something wrong... Anyway my question is. Should I flash a custom rom to free some of the firmware allocated memory ? How is the external card going to be used (can I install app on it) ?
EDIT
I get
`su: not found`

I haven't found any custom ROMs for this tablet. If you know of some, please speak up. You could try reflashing the original ROM but that might be overkill. You can use an app like DiskUsage to help you identify what's eating the most space.

Well, I apologize for being an idiot. That's what I get for trying to document a root procedure I did last year, from memory. I have several similar cheap tablets and I misremembered this one as being pre-rooted as I described.
I just re-flashed from stock and re-rooted it. Fortunately, I had left enough breadcrumbs on my computer that I was able to reconstruct the right procedure.
I will do another full run-through within the next few days as soon as I have some time, to make sure I have everything 100% straight, and will clean this up to update the OP. Meanwhile, if you're feeling brave, here's the notes I took as I did it:
Settings > About Tablet > tap build number until it says you are a developer
Developer options > switch On > OK
USB Debugging > OK
Connect USB
see "USB Debugging Connected" notification
Wait for "Allow USB debugging?" dialog, check "Always allow from this computer" and click OK
adb devices
Download pwn.zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127
Unzip "pwn" from the zip file to your windows current directory
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
Hear USB disconnect sound
Wait about 1 minute (may or may not need to disconnect and reconnect USB cable)
adb wait-for-device
adb shell
su (should give a root shell)
exit
Install SuperSU from Play Store
Run it
The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?
Continue > Normal > OK
Reboot
Don't worry it's ok.. Anyway I am not felling brave at all so I think that I will wait for now...

No guts, no glory!
I updated the instructions in post #2 and did another trial run through. Give it a shot at let me know if you run into any trouble. You already have ADB functioning, so you can just skip to step 6 and go from there.

Just did it and every thing worked ! It was fast and clear... Now I wonder, how many devices can I root with the same procedure ?

Great, I'm glad it worked for you!
The pwn exploit will work with many JellyBean devices. Many of the cheap Chinese tablets don't even need it though, as they will either give you a root prompt immediately when you connect using ADB, or after entering "su" to ADB. The trick then is just to use that access to install an "su" from SuperSU or another full SU package, so that you get full root from the user interface as well as from ADB. You could still use the pwn method on such a device, but I personally prefer to use the least invasive method to get the required access.

Sorry if this is a newb question but can this be done if your microusb port is broken? I can get the file on the tablet via sd card but I can't seem to perform the steps with Terminal Emulator like I had hoped. This is using the same ProScan PLT7602G as in the OP.
Thanks

I don't think it will work in a terminal emulator because you need to run with uid 2000 (shell) for permission on the /data/local/tmp directory.

mtp drivers for tab are not getting installed.

yes its shows yellow error in mtp but I am able to transfer files from laptop and tablet only thing is I can't use cmd and adb but after going thru your link I come to know that my adb was too old which is of my HTC explorer so I downloaded adb (platform.zip) from the thread given in your post and then for mtp I manually selected driver installed in my laptop I.e adb interface >Samsung adb and then I tried cmd in new platform.zip which had updated adb files for jellybean+ version and now its working fine.
Dunno how you did that. I'm a newbie.
Could you plz help me out ?
I don't have any sort of "Adb" connection in device manager (which you can see in my image), which was supposed to be there.
Can you give me a detailed explanation of what you did ????

so you too also want adb to work for you right?
I can't say exactly what made it work for me cause I have s duos 2 also n so its drivers are also installed in my lappy.
but you do one thing
1.install Intel android driver from above post v1.9.0
2.enable debugging in tablet and connect and then goto device manager where you have mtp error,right click on mtp,update drivers select from folder will appear below that must be some option select from installed drivers goto that see Intel android driver after that you will be getting multiple option android adb interface, adb composite interface select any one preferably android adb interface and install.after that uncheck debugging and again check it and see if mtp error is gone from device manager.
3.download platform.zip from your given thread link unzip it and in that folder open cmd by holding shift and right click do open cmd here and check if all is OK by typing adb devices,if its OK it will list your device.
I'll give it a try, then i'll inform you. Till then, please stick to the post ! Thank you for the info BTW.

The problem is, Installing Intel USB drivers does not do anything. Its does not show up in my device manager.

if still yellow error is shown on device manager right click on it update driver,then browse from folder or look for installed driver some where is must be there search something related to Intel or adb and select that else forget it cause what's the use of adb for us as there is no custom ROM or other things to do.
other way is download helium app on PC and tablet and in ptp mode you can get adb working
