[Q] How to clone A10 tablet onto non booting identical device? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have seen one or two similar questions, but no solution.
I have two identical Noname Chinese A10 based tablets. One works, one doesn't boot and I can't find firmware to successfully boot the non-working one - I've tried several.
The etching on the board is A721-MAINBOARD-V4.2.0 2012/03/26 with an A10 CPU.
Model number: MID
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 3.0.8 [email protected] #2
Build number: 20120731-LY-F2S.0.7.1
It's cosmetically this: pandawill.com/lyf2s-tablet-pc-7-inch-android-23-new-12ghz-cpu-4gb-2160p-hdmi-white-p59372.html but with 1GB RAM. It was sold as a Tabtronics ICE White I believe.
Most flashed ROMs allow me to boot the tablet, but then it either freezes before getting into the OS or shuts down/locks up after about 20 seconds into the OS.
So... I'd like to clone the working one as a flashable image to use in Livesuite. Is this possible? If so, how?
I've used the Allwinner A13/A10 Dump tool to dump the working tablet and I've got 5 files - boot.img, bootloader.img, data.tgz, recovery.img, system.tgz
How could I create an image to flash using LiveSuite? I can't use Uberizer as it requires the target tablet to be booted...
Cloning the working one must be possible in some way, even if I have gone about it all wrong?!
Thank you for any help in advance.

Hi again. Can anyone offer me any advice at all?
Thank you.

Is this possible?
Thanks.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

[Q] Mediatek Parrot (Iphone 4s clone) MT6573 Gooapple V5 3G

Hi everyone, i am new at this forum and android devices, i searched for 2 days but cannot find exact answers for my problem
I bought an iphone 4s clone which the seller said that name is Gooapple V5 3G, android 2.3.5 is installed on it, but when i installed antutu benchmark and look at the system info, it is written:
Phone Model:
Parrot
Brand:

is written.
First of all i am looking a rom which is android 4 for this phone. I searched for that and i saw that there are some phones with android 4.0 which has the MT6573 cpu. Do you know are there any rom like this which i can install on it? Are gooapple v5 3g roms compatible to this phone?
Also i installed the usb drivers for this phone and rooted the device, but i cant reach the sd card from pc, in my computer there occurs a removable device but not accesible. What is the solution of this?
Thanks
first of all, there are no mt6573 based smartphones out there, running android 4.0 . maybe someone is porting ICS to the mt6573, but right now i can not find 4.0 for it. there are phones put there with faked Android version, such as 4.0.9 or something.
yes, you can install different Roms on your device, but you have to port them first.
I have no answer for your question, maybe the SD card has a switch for read only?
i used wrong rom and lost the system of the device, now i need correct rom, is there anyone who has correct rom of this?

i know this but this device is not gooapple
ahh sorry, my fault. i just flight over your post, it was late. mybe some aditional informaton ( pictures of the phone, the back, the back without battery...
those version numbers or names can be faked easily, it is hard to say what phone you have with the given information. greets, chris
you have to reflash your stock firmware.
i found the rom that works correct but i dont like ios interface on it. now i m looking for a rom which has android interface
use this tool to backup your current working firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683883
and upload your Rom somewhere ( i only need boot.img and system.img ). I'm interested in the IOS interface and i can port almost all available mt6573 ROM's to your device.
I am currently working on a custom Rom with Cyanogenmod Settings,DSP manager, ICS themed , ext2 support and much more.
if you are interested, i can make you a flashable zipfile.
w w w.4shared-china.com/rar/GyMPoJuc/mt6375-236gps_backup.html
this is the rom i m using on my phone, all .img files in it
i dont like ios interface because it has lots of differences from real ios interface, text characters, icons, menus have lots of mistakes
and also roms for this device work too slow, is it possible to make lite and android gui custom rom for this device?
look at the pictures in my last post, this is a custom ROM made by me. the Mt6573 isn't that fast, but i tried to make a fast ROM for it.
it is working pretty fast right now, no chinese apps and a lot of customization you can do . there are a lot of ROM's out there, some are good, some are pretty bad. like i said, i can make a flashable zip for your device, so you can try out my ROM.
i can try if you can make a zip for me, this would really help me
also i have another problem with the rom which i gave the link of it, the network problem
if the gsm signal become too low, restricted access changed - voice service blocked error occurs, in my home and office signal is too low so i cant use the phone, do you know any solution for this?
i will make one asap, maybe your networking problems are gone with my ROM. im from Germany, have no problems here with the signal at all.
maybe your smartphone is just ****ed up, we will see later.
you got these problem too, before you got the new ROM? maybe the Baseband drivers are wrong or something...
Press VOL + and power toegether, what Recovery shows up? a standart mediatek one or do you already have a custom recovery?
i didnt use the phone with sim card before this rom so i dont know
recovery screen is standard mediatek
there you go! this is a clockworkmod recovery for your phone. just flash it with Flashtool and try it out! flashing a new rom becomes pretty easy with it. hope it will work, give me a quick response if it isn't working.
edit:
some minor tips: dont flash the preloader in any case, this could damage your phone, if it is the wrong one!!!
and always make a backup of the existing images!
i flashed with flashtool and didnt flashed preloader, dsp_bl, changed the recovery.img with the one you gave, nothing changed same ios gui, did i do something wrong?
do you have whole new rom for this device which includes all the image files in it? the one i shared here is too slow and some problems
the file i given you is ONLY the recovery, after flashing try it out with phone off and hold VOL+ and POWER, the recovery screen shows up with clockworkmod recovery.
the fully rom ( including boot.img and system.img) needs more work, i haven't the time to do it yet. just give me a day for it. porting a Rom to a diffrent screenresolution needs more work, cause my device is 480x800 pixels, yours only 320x480. i have to say, there can be some failures because of the different resolution, but this can be fixed easily.
the custom recovery i gave you is necessary for flashing new roms easily.

"Drivers"?

I have a tablet which can't find the firmware, and trying to develop the mine.
I was reading tutorials and information that find and some well have some questions.
I downloaded a firmware with Android 4.4.2, "installed" and runs good, except that:
Don't works WiFi
Don't works Cameras
Don't have Phone app, i assume that no detect the "3g"
I do not know as they are known the "drivers", are obtained or how are modified.
Upon installation of the firmware, using a computer mechanism, successfully extracted, from the gadget unchanged, with Android 4.4.4, the files:
boot.img
bootloader.img
data.tgz
recovery.img
system.img
system.tgz
Any information that is useful to the case, do not hesitate to ask.
From already thanks and hope, apologize for the lack of appropriate language.
Dude You should first mention the name of your tablet
Like : Samsung TabS etc
Mention Tablet Name so that any one can help you

Got Rebranded Android Device: Any Custom ROM I Can Load?

Got rebranded android device - Need to figure out if there is a custom ROM I can load
Fair warning - I'm an android noob.
I'm have a rebranded android phone and I'm trying to find alternate ROM's for it.
The phone has the following specs:
Brand: AG Mobile
Model: AG Chrome Swift
Operating System: Android 4.4.2
Display 4.5" FWVGA
Memory 4G+512MB
CPU 1.2G Dualcore
Manufacturer refuses to release their ROM's, updates are non-existent. I'm hoping this is simply a re-branded HTC or something similar that I could an alternate ROM on.
When I used the APK Installer detector app it picked it up as:
Manufacturer: HTC
Description: YunOS ACB Interface
Any assistance to figure this out will be greatly appreciated.
It is a knock off device. You are out of luck to be honest. No one develops for knock off device.
Thanks man - possibly not the right forum for this: Is it possible to get a ROM off a working model to re-flash another?
Would solve at least one of my headaches here (and thanks in advance for any help!)
No because you will need a custom recovery to flash it.

closest rom for my tablet?

I have bought this tablet from amazon and it didn’t work right from the box.
model:
Proscan PLT1077G(BT/1G/8GB)
OS:
Android 4.4.2
Processor:
1.3 GHz 8803 CORTEX A8
karnel:
3.4.67
[email protected] #13
build number:
PLT1077G 20141008
custom build version:
1412756465
I’m getting the following error msg repeatedly:
“com.android.systemui has stopped”
I followed some fixes I found online – I flushed the device’s cache and did a hard factory reset, but no luck.
I searched online but couldn’t find a custom ROM for the device (probably because it is a low budget, non-branded product), so I figured my only way out is finding some kind of a generic ROM to replace the current defective OS.
I realize that a rom that isn’t suitable for my device might cause some problems, but at the moment I’ll settle for a poorly working device rather than a not working one.
My question to you is –
Is that a feasible idea? Can anyone recommend me a rom that might work given my device’s specs?
Alternatively, does anyone know a custom rom for the device or have any other course of action I should try?
Thanks and sorry for my English.

I can't seem to find any custom roms for that device, and I would NOT advise you trying to install one which isn't meant for your particular device. In the past, I've faced that problem too. I ended up fixing it with a full wipe before reinstalling the stock firmware. If you haven't tried that before, I recommend you do.
I have the same Tablet and rooted mine. I could backup my rom.

Really messed up tablet

I acquired a china tablet running lollipop 5.1.1 arm64v8
The board is al-mt81xx-86v1 with a cpu 8163
Kernel version 3.10.72 [email protected] #6
Build number HY U804MC_20190517_V1.1.00
Custome build version ALPS.L1.MP8.V_ALONG8163.E_p9
Recovery doen't work, just shows a sideways Android with no choices.
I would love a recovery that works and possibile the stock rom.
I can use my puter and get to adb root.
and the bootloader is already unlocked.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Do you know which commercial Alps tablet is the direct ancestor of your custom U804MC? Maybe if you found the firmware for that, you could fix this.
Thanks for replying

I finally got TWRP ported into the recovery, its upside down on the screen ( ie. you swipe the top when the image is on the bottom )but its at least working
I really want to thank you for replying, Staysafe and COVID free.
Do you think maybe you ported a TWRP for MT8127 into your MT8163? Could be incompatible?

To port TWRP you need the same processor and kernel version for donor and stock....It is the fastest way to port I think
