As I've got this tablet with not fully working touchscreen (there are areas where touch doesn't work) I can't get through first setup, and i cant turn on ADB or rotate screen to relocate button which i want to press. If there is a kind owner of this tablet, I wish he could make a (possibly small) backup via recovery (.backup file) with ADB and relocating turned on.
If not, maybe somebody knows how to edit .backup file?
Or just how to skip "Welcome" screen..
EDIT: I have solved this problem accidentally turning on TalkBack(No idea how) and then i was able to click 'start' somehow. :victory:

Sooooo this is a little embarrassing but PLEASE, I need help here .
My friend has a knackered old Elonex Etouch 1000ET (AKA Zenithink ZT-180 I think) that he is determined to hang on to but has locked himself out of (forgot his pin). I've assured him that I could easily facctory reset this for him and/or install a newer / custom ROM on there to help it perform better than it does at the moment - from what I can gather it's running an OLD version of Android, possibly Eclair and it's slow as hell.
Now I've been at this for 2 hours now and I can't work out for the life of me how to do it on this thing. I've been rooting / flashing phones for years without trouble but this is really doing my head in!
Here's what I've tried:
- Connected via the OTG port but Windows (Win7 64bit) doesn't want to install the drivers and then can't find it in device manager
- Tried the above while booting into 'update mode' (Holding home button or the left volume key and booting) - result is 'No zImage_update'
- Copied all relevant files (ZT_Bx.boot, zImage, system.pack.img, userdata.pack.img) to a folder called zt-update on the root of the SD card but still get the 'No zImage_update' message.
I get that this is a piece of crap tablet but it's a favour for a mate and I need to get this done. Please please PLEASE can somebody help here lol. I just want to wipe the damn thing and get it working again.
Cheers.
Fixed
For those looking for a solution to this, I found out a way:
- First go to http://www.elonex.com/index.php/support/etouch/1000et/ and download the elonex.com/support/etouch/1000ET-FWv1122.zip
- Then go here and follow this post to reformat your MicroSD card with a fresh FAT32: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/198...hing-roms/page__st__40__p__219055#entry219055
- Extract the 'zt-update' file from the first zip and put it in the root folder of your squeaky clean SD card
- Pop the SD card back into the tablet, hold the volume down button and turn it on.
You're welcome.
Hello everyone,
My aunt gave me a chinese smartphone (n9000 i9220 pad) with the lcd screen broken.
I tried to control it from my pc with this software ([email protected]). It NEEDS USB debugging to be activated in order to work. Since my aunt obviously didn't have it activated, I could only see the smartphone's screen when I entered to recovery (Where i think debugging it's activated by default). So I need to activate the USB debugging option with no image from the smartphone. To archieve this, I found a solution that consists in editing manually a file on /system, but since it's not rooted, I don't have write permissions on /system.
I'm not gonna die if I can't do this, but I want to know if it's really possible.
More info:
Exact model: e1809l_v75_gq1008_ov5647_v20
*I can access the smartphone with adb, so If anyone needs more info that I could retrieve from it, just tell me.
Hi
My mother has a stock BQ Aquaris 5 HD, probably running on 4.3
Someone spilled a chemical fluid over the phone, and it stoped working. She took it to a local shop where they tried to clean and dry it, but somehow they managed to strip off the touchscreen connector on the mainboard.
The phone actually turns on, but it is impossible to use the touchscreen. No debug was activated. No SD card was installed, so everything was on the main storage. Replacing the mainboard is not an option as the storage will be lost anyways...
I started the phone on recovery mode, allowing me to backup all the data on the SD cart, resulting in a .backup file, which i cannot manage to open in any way. I tried to use Android Backup Extractor (ABE) but it only works with .ab extensions. Changed the extension manually and it did not work either.
I request help, if anybody knows how to recover the pictures and contacts from that file, or if there is some way to enter the main storage unit with a locked screen...
thanks in advance
Anybody?
Hi everybody. I have a big problem with my cellphone, its touch screen is decalibrated, so I've read, I have an theoretical working option, and to try it, I need a person that want to help me and that has a working android phone with gt915 touch screen.
Your colaboration must not be harmful for your phone if everything is made right. What I need is the configuration file (.cfg) of a working, non decalibrated phone. If you already have it, ¡cool! we avoid the intermediate steps, only what you need is pass me a copy of that file.
But if you want to help me and don't have that file, that´s what you need:
-Gtp tool.apk
-Your cell phone
First install gtp tool on you cell phone and run it. When opened, select "config setting" option and into it, select "read" button. After that must appear many options where before was black. DON´T change any of these options, and just press "save" button, then select where to save the configuration (ideal /sdcard to you can remember where is it) and when you reach your save destination, press the chinese letters button.
At last, just confirm your save (is in english, don´t worry). A confirmation of the saved file appears. And we're ready, you just need to send me that config file.
Even, that config file you must keep it safe because it is a backup of your working configuration, so you don't need to be curious and experiment with your phone for decalibrate your touch, even a problematic update can do that; so is beneficial for you by doing this.

Hi.. I have been trying to fix a tv stick for a few months now (basically is more about the knowledge i am getting - I am not desperate in fixing it). It is a strange piece, probably clone that i have been tricked in buying. It has an Allwinner A20 dual core cpu with an AP6210 wifi module...
Tried to flash another firmware ti improve it, ended up with the wifi problem. Wifi (and bleutooth) will not start. When i press the button, it just slides back to off... I have read and tried anything i could find on the internet. I have also tried tens of firmwares, but the wifi problem persisted (the original firmware is nowhere to be found).. To cut the story short, the device will not connect to a computer through ADB (it just doesn't seem to support this function - is not a matter of drivers). So everything i have been trying did not include this option...Also the recovery can not be changed to support backup and restore from custom recoveries (i.e CWM, or TWRP)..
What i did manage was to extract a backup from the rom, of another identical device, with the Nandroid App (online version, not through the recovery). Then i used the Dragonface program to edit another similar firmware (MK808C). While loaded, i open the FSOP folder which is the folder that dragonface collapses the loaded firmware for editing and then, i replaced the existing system folder with the one i had backed up trough the Nandroid procedure... Then hit the save button of the Dragonface...
I flashed the new *.img to my tv stick with the phoenix tool, and the tv stick booted normally, looking EXACTLY the same as when i first bought it. I even managed to get the bleutooth going this time, BUT, the bloody wifi still refuses to come on :-/
I must tell you, I know my way through some computer technical stuff but I am not an expert into the coding level and i haven't had the experience of Linux systems (thus i don't really understand coding). I really thought all settings and drivers are included in the system file and copying the original system file into another firmware, would do the trick.. but i guess is not that simple... The thing is that, the way i see it, the problem is probably hidden at the booting level... hitting the system configuration in the advance settings of the Dragon face, will open some coding thing which i don't understand.. but i do see the AP6210 module in that coding, which means that the new firmware includes those drivers..If anybody have any idea or can point me to the right direction I would really appreciate it.. Thanks
I have the same problem with AP6210 on H3 Allwinner STB box. After firmware ugrade from Android 4.4.2 to Android 10 Wifi just don't work, button slides back to off. Drivers are present. Have both firware files unpacked.
Please help! What i have to do? Sys_config? Init.rc?
