[Q] Novotech PWS700EJ - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have received as gift a 7" inch android tablet.
The brand is Novotech.
It is a 7" 16/9 tablet with Android 4.0.3
CPU is MIPS 74Kc V5.0 FPU V0.0
Antutu is telling
model PWS700EJR
device GS701b
800 x 480
GPU Vendor : Vivante Corporation
GPU Renderer : GC800 Graphics Engine
cpuinfo : MIPS Processor
I would like to root it but impossible to have adb working.
USB Debugging is activated and I can see in the taskbar the debug notification.
In the computer manager, the device is well found.
I have tried the generic google USB drivers. Device is shown as Android Composite ADB Interface
Also tried the PDANet Other device driver and then is shown as Android ADB Interface
In both cases, when making a ADB DEVICES, result is always blank.
Any idea to have ADB working ?
Many thanks

Got the same device over here, slow as hell, any possibilty to downgrade to an earlier version of Android?

I plan on rooting this thing. As soon as I get that sorted out I may post more.
Also we're dealing with a M805MC (Amlogic 8726-M3) chip instead of RockChip RK2918.
I have attached images of both chips.
The mfg is Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and the build location is Guangdong, China. I'm under 10 posts so that's why no links but I can produce them upon request.
Ok this is sort of important so I will try to get the link in here.
Drum roll please....
Source code:
openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Platform_Info/Information_for_8726M/Build_system_for_8726M_Howto
If a moderator would like to make that link hot, be my guest .
I also purchased one of these tablets on Black Friday. It was on sale for 80.00 at Big Lots....Unfortunately its missing Google Apps, so rooting it would be nice...Although I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing, I did get ADB working and was able to reboot the device into some type of stock recovery, so with that in mind, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help...
Also either the HDMI port is shot after using it for just a few minutes or I have a bad cable...It was nice while it worked though.
Not having Google Apps is a bummer, but using info I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895040 I was able to get Gmail, Google Voice, Google Drive, Google Music, and Google + working. I also tried installing Google Talk, but ended up doing a factory reset because after I installed it...all the other Google Apps I had installed started crashing and I wanted to just start from scratch.

I know I already clicked thanks but seriously, thanks again man. I don't think I personally have the skillset to root this thing so I humbly tip my hat to whomever gets it done. I do know that shutdown then vol up + plug usb in puts it in jtag mode . Shows as 'M3-CHIP' in devmgmt.msc (M3 being the CPU revision)

I purchased 3 of these on Black Friday and have been unable to root them because of the aml8726-m34 chip. How did you get ADB working? What driver did you use? How did you get into recovery? I didn't think these tablets had any recovery interface.
I'm glad to hear that you did have some luck installing some of the google apps. Thanks for posting!

I got in with the generic Google USB driver pesonally. You won't have root access though. Typing su from shell just gives a message about su not being found in the bin folder. Recovery is vol up + power or you can get there by putting a 3rd party zip on the sd card and then to to the upgrade app. It won't work because it's stock recovery. Oh, and for recovery to even see a .zip file it has to be on an external sd card.

[Update]
I've created a thread here to get people's attention as most people (like I was at first) are confusing this for the Next8SE or other Nextbooks. Hopefully the issue having it's own address will help make the information gathering process quicker.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to get a rom dump tonight!
Anytime. I've shot Yifang/Nextbook an email asking for their source code. Hopefully they will comply as firmware does have software covered under GPL.
Also I brought up Netflix. Several Nextbook devices have a firmware update to address the issue. I'm assuming whatever the bug was, it was migrated inadverently to this device's code. Can I get some confirmation from other users that this is a shared issue? Thanks.
Finally, I noticed there is a Nextbook w/ Google Play so I also inquired about Gapps/Play being included in a future update. I will relay whatever information I recieve.

I also pretty sure I used the generic Google USB driver. With the tablet turned on and usb debugging enabled I plugged it into the computer and then I updated the driver in device manager and then ADB worked...using the command "adb reboot recovery" got me into recovery...
Also, worth noting I guess, if my memory is correct...I think Windows 7 searched the internet and automatically installed some type of ACER driver. The Acer driver may have also worked, but I got rid of it and went with the generic Google driver(since it obviously wasn't an Acer device)...
Also, I noticed that the OP was able to flash a rom using the RKAndroid update tool, which is used for flashing firmware to a Rockchip based Android tablet. Are we able to confirm what chip the original posters device is running? I ask because it seems, like mascondante pointed out, that the next8p12 has shipped with different chips over time? The black Friday ones running the armlogic M3-chip and the earlier ones being a Rockchip RK2918?

All Nextbook 8 Premium SE roms I've found online were for the RK2918 chip using the RKAndroid tool... it might be possible to modify the Rockchip driver to recognize the AML8726-M3 chip, and maybe even flash one of the available roms, but it almost certainly wouldn't boot.
I wonder if the Bin4ry tool from this thread will work on these? It looks like it should work on anything with ADB working.

I tried that tool and it didn't work, although it seemed to recognize the device...But I don't think I tried it while the device was actually turned on and booted(I'm not 100 percent sure), rather I think I tried it when I the device was in what i believe was jtag mode...I'll try again later.
EDIT: Crap...I tried while booted and having adb working...No dice...

I tried it using option 1 and ended up with a boot loop after the first splash screen. Was able to boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
Tried it with option 2 and it went through the process with several errors and booted ok, but did not achieve root.
I've also tried using recovery to install signed update packages with superuser and busy box, or even just gapps, but it refuses everything, indicating that signatures can not be verified successfully.
I'm currently trying to find a way to get read/write access in ADB or ADB shell, as this seems to be the big issue.
I agree, it also looks like ADB is the prevalent obstacle here. I'd like to at the very least get Android Market and all the crapware off this thing. I told someone this would be a great buy for a christmas present at BigLots as I was under the impression, after reading up on the RK29 devices, that they were rootable and I could get a custom rom onto it for them. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news!

I don't think there is anything we can do with these without an official update.zip from Nextbook.
I'm not talented enough to 'crack this nut' solo but I will keep looking across the web for a potential solution. I've been under the weather; Sorry for not staying mode on top of this.
I'm guessing the jtag mode is the key here. I'll keep looking.

I got this response from Nextbook today concerning the Netflix update:
Thank you for the email. Please note, we're experiencing Technical difficulty with the
Next8P12 models that have an Android OS system level of 4.0.4. The Netflix Update
was issued for the Android OS systems with 4.0.3 models. Therefore, the configuration
of the update is unable to be recognized by the 4.0.4 OS units. However, we have
contacted Netflix to provide to us a patch for this model. We appreciate your understanding,
patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
When that update becomes available, it will likely be packaged as an update.zip (Like the existing one), which can be modified to give us root access.

[Q] Arch linux for netbook GoClever i102( Airis Kira N10020)?

Hello all,
I have recevied an old tablet "goClever i102 ( Airis Kira N10020) and it is slow.
Here are it's specifications:

• ARM11 up to 1 GHz Processor
• Memory 512 MB DDR2
• Storage Flash 4 GB
• WLAN - LAN 10/100

• Weight ~ 0.90 Kg.
• Android 2.3 OS
The manufacturer's page for the device:

Here are some aditional informations I gathered by openning it:

I rooted the device and I posted the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/rooting-goclever-i102-n10020-t3119091
I would like to install on it Arch linux or some other linux core.
I set up a virtual machine with linux, installed a cross-compiler and the toolchain to build for ARMv6 processors and then I tried to build a bootloaded and a kernel for the tablet. It succesfuly built the kernel, just to test the toolchain ,but soon I realized that I could not configure u-boot for this specific processor. I could not find any pre-made configurations files for it. I don't have much knowledge about how to build a kernel or a bootloader.
Could anyone help me regarding this issue or give some instructions how to manually configure u-boot?
PS: I tried to boot on some RasberryPi softwares that I could find on the internet but it did not boot. Also I tried some linux software for the tablets Airis Kira N7000 / N8000 / N9000 that I found here: https://kirbian.wordpress.com/descargas/airis-kira-n7000-n8000-n9000/ ,and booted the kernel for a very short time(it displayed something like uzImage.bin and a loading bar), but then the screen went black with the cursor blinking on the left. After this it remains in this state, nothing loads or changes. After I reboot it, it loads the stock rom (Android 2.3.3)...
Thank you in advance!

Retrieve complete soc name on Android

Hello,
I try to retrieve complete soc name programmatically on an Android device like it made on CPU-Z app for example that displays for my device :
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 @ 1.89Ghz / Architecture : Krait 300 / Model : APQ8064T
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By reading /proc/cpuinfo file and /sytem/build.prop I could have the following data :
Board : MSM8960 / Manufacturer : qcom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can also find CPU max clock.
But, it's impossible to me to get the same information that CPU-Z displays programmatically. Do you know how the app makes that ?
For example, where it finds Soc Architecture and Model ?
And then, to get complete name as Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, how they make that ? It's written somehow ? Or, they have a sort of database with board id and manufacturer with complete informations associated ?
Thanks for your answers.
Sylvain
Any ideas ?

I'm trying to boot up remix OS in HDD on a Toshiba laptop of 2006 with those specification
Intel Celeron M370
ATI Graphics
512 MB of ram
80 GB HDD
After successful installation it normally reboot to boot manager and I can select remix os to boot, and then it says:
Booting 'Resident Mode - All your data and apps are saved'

Then there is a problem, because after 2 seconds it says:
[ 1.959044] intel_powerclamp: Intel powerclamp does not run on family 6 model 13
[ 1.961135] intel_rapl: driver does not support CPU family 6 model 13

Click to collapse
I know that hardware is much weak, but seems like there are problems with powerclamp and intel_rapl, somethings related to driver.
There is something I can do to boot up Remix OS on this PC?
I have the same problem. But mine says "Cpu family 6 model 23"...
My laptop is a Samsung R430 from 2010.
Core 2 duo T6600 2.2GHz
6GB RAM
I'm trying to run it form usb though.

Maybe some CPUs families aren't currently supported.
I could boot Remix OS on Intel Celeron 1007U x64 and on an Intel Core i7 2nd generation.
Someone can confirm?
hmm..
I also see this at boot... : intel_rapl: driver does not support CPU family * model * (intel d525)
But RemixOS 32bit is booting/working fine
Its some kind of cpu throtle driver ( to keep heat down ) if I read correctly
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement/ThermalIssues
My system.. however.. is running cool (so, the driver is not needed)
A thought::
Try booting with : DEBUG=1

Installed RemixOS stucks at the flashing display but boot up in debug mode

Hi everyone:
I install RemixOS on hard drive following some directions found on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/question-install-remix-dedicated-hdd-t3316527) to installs the system directly to hard drive without dual boot.
What i did was the following: After pressing TAB on Resident mode, i removed everything after "quiet". Then i put INSTALL=1 and then format to ext4 to use all the disk space.
The installer finalizes without errors, but when i restart and choose normal init at GRUB, the system stucks on flashing screen, then never enters to graphic env.
The things changes when i boot in debug mode. The system boot up completely but to console. I know how to use Linux, but this distro its very different to an standard one, so i need some directions to diagnose and solve the problem.
In debug mode, when i grep dmesg for error or warning nothing is found. All the devices are detected and aparently installed.
The only thing that got my attention when i installed Remix was the following messages:
- intel_powerclamp: Intel powerclamp does not run on family 6 model 15
- intel_rapl: driver does not support CPU family 6 model 15
But these msgs i suppose that are normal because is an old CPU that not support all the features that the driver does, right?
Anyway, these are the specs of the intallation:
- RemixOS version: B2016071501.
- CPU: Intel Dual Core E2160 1.68Ghz
- MB: Foxconn 45CMX
- GPU: Intel integrated on MB. I don't know the exact model
- HDD: 60Gb SATA
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.
