Hi Guys! I usually lurk around here, but now I really need some help.
Basically I have a Rebranded Chinese Tablet called "Tabulet Mech" and it's a redesign of a M701 tablet.
With a bit confidence of rom flashing, I tried flash a rom from a forum which talks about this type of tablet. With careful action I tried flash the rom using FWDN, and miserably failed T.T
while flashing on FWDN I used "Low format whole memory before download", so I guess the FWDN is formatting the whole tablet.
I dunno if I did something bad while flashing it, but since I didn't see any Recovery Mode available for the tablet, I can't exactly recover my tablet at all.
And now, I don't know if my tablet is already turned off or not, since the tablet is still heated up, and when I plug my USB on it, my PC still detect it (even my Moborobo), but since there's nothing on the screen, well you know I can't figure what's happening.
So my question is, is there any way I can install any rom to just make the tablet back working again?
Hi everyone,
I'm freshly registered and totally ignorant in all Android and tablets stuff. Also please excuse my english, and if I haven't posted in the right place.
I recently bought this tablet [MID tablet, GPU MALI 400, 512 MB RAM, Android 4.0.4, CPU: Boxchip A13 Cortex A8 1.2GHz], I wanted a light portable device and for the price it seemed like an excellent offer.
At first I was pleased but then found the device too slow, hard to handle, etc (I couldn't watch videos that required Flash 9.0). So I decided to upgrade the OS from Android 4.0.4 to Cyanmogen 9.0. I used PhoenixCard 3.06 on a 16Gb SD. The burn was succefull. I plugged then the SD into the tablet, it flashed, the green bar was fully filled and at the very last end it showed "sprite update error: failed to open part file [@". Not knowing what was the issue I took back the SD, turned on the tablet then at the little Android logo, it froze, and the logo splashed lol. No way to turn the tablet on again. I'm downloading right now the firmware ROM and hope to make a succefull flash.
Is there anything I might do to get it back working if this doesn't?
Thanks.
probably not. most of those chineese allwinner tablets are lacking built in recovery, so hard reset to factory settings is probably not an option.
flashing stock rom is the way to go.
I bought a few weeks ago a Star i6, basically a chinese android phone with quad core MTK6582 processor and Kit Kat version of the OS. If you follow this kind of devices, you should know that it's a pain in the ass to root.
Still I gave it a go using the only method that people claim it actually works (the one with the scatter file) but something went wrong in the process, either when extracting the file or when transfering the modified one back on the device. As a result the device is stuck at the boot screen, showing the logo and restarting after a few again.
Now if it was my old device (an Xperia Play which still goes strong I might add), I wouldn't be worried but so far this device was just a pain in the ass. Does anyone know how to unstuck the device, or am I stuck now with a brand new brick? I can access the recovery mode of the device but cleaning the cache and doing a factory reset didn't do anything.
Supposedly I can install an update through this menu, but I'm not sure what files I should use.
Hi. Just found me a cheap replacement tablet after my previous one bricked a few weeks ago(I had rooted it, it was working better than ever for 4-5 days and suddenly shut itself down and restarted one day and just booted to a blank screen). The default recovery on that tablet was all but useless.
Anyways on the new tablet when I boot into recovery mode it is all in Chinese. I obviously don't read Chinese but I would like to have a recovery option should something happen to this tablet. Plus I might want to try to root eventually if can get a fairly high certainty that if something goes wrong this time I can use the recovery menu to actually attempt to recover the Device . Also this time I'll obviously want to try to back things up before I attempt anything.
With all that said how safe is it to flash a custom recovery onto an Android device? Is there any chance of bricking it just doing this itself without rooting? Also how hard would it be?
This device I am using is a digiland d1018a 10.1 inch running lollipop 5.1. Arm cortex quad core CPU. Arm Mali 720 GPU. 1 GB RAM and 16 GB flash memory.

Somebody help me please
So, for Christmas my daughter's mom got her an A33 Q88H QuadCore Softwinner tablet, and we discovered the OS it came with had some very strange issues related to a lack of compatibility with Google Play, so I tried to get around that with software, but I needed to be rooted. However, I had bizarre difficulties with SuperSU, unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and even more difficulties trying to flash a custom recovery that I could use to ROOT-- the obscure china tablet had no TWRP or CWM support. I finally tried a very convoluted method of flashing what appeared to be a ROM for the A33 Allwinner tablet, which hadTWRP already installed, so I could use TWRP to root it, and then finally fix the software issues.
However, the process didn't work, and when I rebooted the phone, I found it stuck on a black screen with a tiny android symbol, and that's how it's been since. Holding volume and power button only reboots it to the same screen -- no bootloader or anything, so I can't find any way to try to flash a factory ROM to get it back to regular settings. When I plug it into my computer, it makes the input noise, and shows up in Device Manager as "Android Device" with "Android ADB Interface" drivers successfully installed, but ADB doesn't recognize it as a device, and I can't get it into any sort of download mode -- it isn't recognized in My Computer as a hard drive. So, I can't find a way to interface with the tablet to reflash a stock ROM. :frown:
It's her Christmas present, so I don't want to admit that I've broken it; I've been trying to solve it all night for 12 hours straight, but I just can't find anything that works! Is there any way you guys can help me? :crying:
I tried to attach some pics but the uploader isnt working.
