Unbrick amlogic tablets
Hello stoio
I have almost the same Tablet. It's a Prestigio PMP5580C, for me it is labeld as Intenso Tab 814, but they are completely the same. I have tried to find the u-boot.bin in the stock firmware, but I didn't sucess yet. I've downloaded several tools which allows me to make my 16 GB MicroSD card recognized as a 512 MB SD card, there I have to put the files on it to unbrick my tablet, it's amlogic (like my username) (someone told me that this is the chipset). It has a TOSHIBA TC58TEG6DCJTA00 NAND flash chip of 8 GB capazity. I also need help by getting my tablet unbricked.
In the future Inwant to learn with this amlogic based tablet how to create custom ROM's, recoveries and custom boot splash screens.
Thanks for any help, I reall appreciate your help,
Please note that I'm from Germany and my English is not good as it should used to be, but I have a dictionary (as a normal book) where I can get good communication with you. I like the idea of using english only.
Every Image (.img) were made with the dd command, I need to look inside in the images and open the content, I used a hex editor and tried to strip off the 2k of data, but I can't success. I'm using this tutorial:
I'm using this hex editor under linux: Okteta
I don't know how to delete the 2k of data. I need to know what content the partitions have to unbrick my amlogic based tablet, cause I'm seeing still the white android robot, and the charging battery or charged plugin picture, but this tablet doesn't have a bootloader or recovery so I'm out of ideas, the only way for me is to use a microsd card like an live cd to automatically let this tablet flash stock firmware, but where is it? Please help me out, I meight be wrong, it's possible that different repairing ways exist, too.

[Q] Onda Vi40(Allwinner A10) - USB Brick

Hoping some of you guys with a little more knowledge round here will be able to help with this one.
I believe I've USB bricked my Onda VI40 v3 16gb, I can't access the internal sd card and the device wont communicate with my pc when its connected by usb.
I have CWM Recovery installed and can access and flash roms from it but pretty much all of the guides to unbrick the usb require fastboot and I cant for the life of my work out how to get it on the Vi40.
Can anyone shed some light on how to access fastboot on the Vi40 or any other suggestions for unbricking the usb.
I have flashed multiple different roms on to the device in an attempt to fix it with no luck.
I can access an emulated terminal screen on the tablet when booted if thats of any help.
I have also tried the image_flash and mtd0.img fix but I don't know the devices CID so that doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.
Go back to the original rom
check what version is your onda vi40 by checking the serial numbers at the back (ex Xxxv3xxx) means its a v3.
then go to onda.cn and look for your version firmware.
you nay have to use Google translate.
now once you have downloaded the correct firmware version pls remember to rename the image file which is in Chinese to any English name. hmmm on second thought go to slatedroid.com and search for the onda forums they have a detailed English guide to help you.
don't panic, the same thing happened to me on my onda vi10 elite but my mistake was flashing a custom firmware. just like you I lost some partitions but when I flashed the original 4.03 v1.1 firmware and selected format the tablet is fine again.
Vi40 16gb v3 - can you flash using osx?
Hi all, my vi40 was connected to my MacBook pro the other night ttransfer some mp3s and I think I may have turned Off USB mode on the tablet before unmounting.
Now every time I try to install an app I get the "no space left" type message altjough there's about 15gb of space left.
Almost like permissions won't allow write
Downloading from play store starts but never completes
I'm thinking may be best to reflash the firmware?
I only have macs though.
If I have a mate with a vi40 same model would I be able to clone his onto my tablet using mac carbon copy cloner app maybe?
Cheers
Chris

Ps every time I turn off and reboot it reverts to Chinese too
Easy, run BootCamp on your Mac, I have bootcamp on two of my macs and they run windows 7 pretty nicely

Hi ,
Have you tried to reflash with livesuite ? if not then do it with a stock rom and reflash cwm from there no ? remember to enable "usb mode" by pressing menu key then plugging the tablet to the pc ( the menu key act as a temporizer for the tablet to be detected in that mode afaik)

Bricked my mums rk3066 into maskrom mode - REWARD for anyone who solves this ;)

Hi
Ive been playing around with my mums rk30sdk tablet and managed to fully brick it. It WAS in blue mode (maskrom) but I managed to fix it and now its in green mode. Still nothing on the screen though and unable to flash it or connect via adb
I have the dumps of all partition images but cant adb to it or get into bootloader mode so im a bit stuck. I have an old rkflash tool that allows for flashing of separate partitions but it doesnt recognise the device
Using Windows I do get the 'bing' so I know its alive and rkbatchtool v1.7 gives me a green connection (no switch but can upload firmware)
Ive searched the net for firmware for this device with no luck The guy I got it off is a **** and doesnt even know where it comes from. Im sure I could flash it if i could make a single .img file from my dump .img files but ive had no luck so far
Im thinking my only option may be to build android from the source but thats a massive effort and fraught with problems so Im after an easier way.
It uses an ext3 file system. If I could just get the recovery back it would help but I really need to build a single flashable image from my dumps!
Im not the only one on here with issues with this device so anyone who can help me will be helping other people.
SPEC:
rk3066
1Gb RAM
8Gb ROM
10.1" display
model PT10.1
rk30sdk
Im using both Linux and Windows 7.
Anyone who can help me will get ALL the info on how I just got a FREE rk3188 10.1" tab (Unfortunatlly I think its a 't' chip but i havent opened it up yet so not sure)! It was free though so pretty cool! I found an idiot seller who can be blackmailed into refunding you and letting you keep the tablet as they list it as a totally different model
I know im bribing you guys here but my mum WILL kick my ass for bricking her tab so PLEASE help!

[Q] ORION TAB-700QC firmware needed (atm7029 cpu)

Sal all,
I cannot find firmware for this tablet. It's a 7inch, dual camera, atm7029 quad core cpu, that doesn't start, but i can write firmware with Actions Pad Product Tool.
The only available firmwares for this type of cpu (atm7029) i was able to find, were from Ainol tablets, but these are not good.(only lights start 1sec)
Can someone help ?
10x in advance !
Hi! There is a similar device firmware from (Russian): (yadi.sk/d/Wku6HWTxKkaKa)
But WiFi and camera other.
System image
Here is the image of the system partition. Dumped with ADB from a working tablet. (512MB)
(mediafire.com/download/roc8870rirvt3hw/actc_system.img)
And this is the image of the recovery partition: (48MB)
(mediafire.com/download/fd30kaio8xb490j/acta_recovery.img)
If you want to see what's inside the images, mount the image in Linux, or use Linux Reader if you're using Windows.
How to use the actc_system.img and acta_recovery.img
Hi, I'm an android newbie needing help. I found this thread while searching for how to deal with a bootlooping Orion TAB-700qc tablet belonging to a friend.
Apparently my friend tried to update the tablet with the wrong update (I'm not really sure what he did), but it went into a bootloop -- it will not get past the "android" screen. I found how to go into the Recovery menu but nothing there would fix the problem. I have downloaded the actc_system.img and acta_recovery.img discussed in this thread, but I need step-by-step instructions for how to use them to get the tablet working again.
Can someone please direct me to instructions that I as a newbie will understand? I have worked a lot with pc's but I have almost no experience with androids.
Thanks,

Tablet stuck on EFI Shell. USB ports disabled.

Hello. I'll try to explain my problem because I really need some help.
A few days ago, I was normally using my Tablet ECS TR10RS1 IntelĀ®.... I turned it off, went to sleep and the next day when I was going to use it again, the OS didn't start, so I tried and tried until I found a forum where they led me to restore a backup file because the original firmware/rom wasn't still available.... publicly. I tried that, but in the process, I accessed the EFI Shell... That wasn't trouble at all, I just plugged the keyboard and typed "exit", and then it let me to the BIOS... And that's when my real problem began: I restored the factory setting default... and it involves "disabling USB ports".... Now, AGAIN, I'm stuck on EFI Shell. But this time, I can not type "exit" since the keyboard is not recognized by the Tablet.
Then I pressed Vol UP + Power ON and I get access to another menu "DNX".... And that's what brings me here to your forum:
I was briefly reading that one of your members managed to flash the BIOS via DNX, so I was wondering if you guys could help me do that to my tablet because I'm not planning to have a really expensive paper holder.
Thanks in advance.
Jinky.
Not sure about your case. But as your tablet use clovertrail chip like my zenfone 5 n fonepad7 170CG, then there's some methods to unbrick like via fastboot, flashtool, or intel factory flash tool... all of above are required a valid firmware, at least a IFWI package then intel FFT can unbrick anyway. So try to find your need, as i tried to help u to find it, but most of webpages use spanish, then i didn't understand anything

Help trying to find stock firmware for bricked tv box

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help me unbrick my MXQ Pro 4k. I've searched high and low for the stock firmware but it is nowhere to be found. My box seems to be a peculiar variant and the specs are as follow:
S905x 1GB/8GB S905XQ_V2.0 2017.05.16
SV6051P Wifi
SK Hynix H27UCG812ETR DDR3
It became bricked when I tried to flash different atvXperience firmware img files with the Amlogic USB burn tool. I had successfully flashed it with a version posted by minixfreak on the freaktab forums.
Although not with exactly the same specs, it worked pretty well except for the remote control wouldn't function. So I tried to flash again with what I thought was the stock firmware but unfortunately, that bricked the box pretty good. I tried to revert to the atvXperience firmware that worked from the post, but it now always fails at 7% when trying to format with USB tool. In all cases, I've tried every possible combination of pushing in the reset button in the AV port, shorting the NAND pins, switching the order of USB ports... The box always has a red light when powered and is always recognized by the USB Burn Tool driver when connected to the OTG port on the box but always stops at 7% when it attempts to format.
I hooked up a serial usb/ttl cable to capture boot output, turned on the box and it seems the box is in an infinite loop with the following output:
LOOP:8F;EMMC:800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:90;EMMC :800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8. It appears the bootloader is corrupt or maybe has been erased.
I tried making a bootable sd card using both burncard maker and bootcard maker but that didn't work either as it can't get past intial boot attempt, even pressing reset or shorting nand pins. I'm not sure if it's because of the boot loop or perhaps incorrect firmware. I haven't been able to find the definitive stock firmware anywhere. I would appreciate help in finding this elusive firmware.
I've scoured the internet for a solution and tried many different things but nothing can get me out of this loop. I'm now at a dead end.
I once had a bricked router that I was able to fix by connecting usb/ttl and putty and repeatedly hitting Ctrl-C after rebooting to get a CFE prompt. At that point I was able to manually flash the router with firmware and revive it. Maybe there's a tool available that would possibly do something like that with the android box?
Also possible I guess that something in the hardware is toast and it's just a paper weight now. Anyway, any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
