This is everything you need to know to root/unlock/factory reset your Proscan 8" Tablet a.k.a. PLT8031.

First thing you will need to do is charge up your device, download the software needed to your desktop or some other easily accessable folder. Now this is the part that took nearly 3 days to figure out in order for the program to recognize and load an image to it you have to put the device in "recovery mode". You might ask well how do I do this, as every forum out there just says put in recovery mode and it will work, BUT HOW you still ask. The internet won\'t tell you, the company won\'t tell you, hell even other people on forums won\'t tell you. But alas I shall.

RECOVERY MODE Proscan PLT8031

Simply plug in your usb cable to your computer, then while holding your menu button, to clairify as I don\'t know the exact name of the button, it\'s the one to the left of the home button. plug in the usb cord to the device while still holding that button. Do not let go of the button until you see that windows has detected your hardware and is looking for a driver.

FYI windows usually will not find a driver, I have included links to the drivers you will need.Now if your at all used to device manager you should know how to point it to the driver you need. It will be called "rockusb.inf".

Once this is installed then open and run "RKBatchToolv1.4" as administrator. You then need to click the three dots in the top right to locate and load the "update.img" file. Make sure at this point that your device is recognized with a "green square" near the bottom of the window.

If all that checks out click the upgrade/restore button. To be clear it\'s one or the other, not both, technically didn\'t see a difference between them. This process will then start and will take between 5 to 10 minutes. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. if you unplug your device too soon you will have a nice paper weight instead of a tablet. Wait untill it is completely booted into the setup your android device screen before closing the rkbatchtool and safely disconnecting the device.

Congrats on your newly rooted/recovered plt8031 tablet.

My ipad is on and it won't do anything. When you touch the screen to go into emails or anything else, even to turn it off it won't do anything.

You need to update your tablet, or update the programming on your tablet. Apparently all the android 2.2 tabs are considered "legacy" models and don't support the newest google and java script. Since this is what the net primarily uses, those of us with the Cruz are hosed.

According to the following link...looks like you would have to find/get a Docking Bay to hook up an External CD/DVD ROM in order to have a better chance of putting a operating system back on it.

Uninstall any apps you don't need and anything else you can live without.
You can put a 32gb micro SD card in it and have your music, videos and pictures and such saved on it.
Only problem is the tablet won't bookmark your films when you stop watching from the card like it does off the built in memory.

First put the charger plug in the Tab, I just tried mine that was sitting on the desk, even though I held the power on button for a long time it would not start. I pluged the charger in so the red charging light is on Tried to start and it worked perfectly. i.e. the voltage level is very critical, if it is a fraction low it won't start.

Sorry to hear your are having issues with your Cruz Reader. I have a Cruz Reader R101. Unfortunately you have to update via the SD card for the Cruz Reader. It doesn't do a firmware update from the USB cable.
If you don't want to try and update it now you could also try to just restart it. If you can't get it to restart normally you can remove the back cover and unplug the battery, then plug it back in.
