I install android with installer and when i press android on boot, i get this message.
error 15 file not found
How can i fix this? (i have windows 7 on my pc)
Booting
Got this installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad 2 - Booted the first time with the option of Android or Windows, but timed out and chose Windows on it's own. The next time I booted computer hung...and now it just goes straight to windows? Any idea how to get the boot option?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Never mind on the last post, got to the boot option, but no luck. I get the android option but it just gives me a black screen and says files are missing... " a required application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors"
I'll try some different versions...maybe that's the ticket.
[error 15 file not found] bootable usb format file system must be in fat32(default)
Also could not find grldr.mbr
I also have the same problem as #108 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 installing to a second ntfs partition of the drive.
I believe it is an AMD x2 2gig ram. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm wondering if I could download the "Android 4.4 KK" file and install it using this installer?
UEFI Support
Hey, I have an Asus Vivotab Note 8 (M80TA) Currently running Windows 8.1
I downloaded the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop x86 iso file from... um... somewhere within the interwebs (I've forgotten where) and so far your installer is the only one that my tablet plays nice with... even though when I try to boot to Android I get the 'no grlbr.mbr' error (because my device is UEFI)
I was wondering if and when this installer was going to get updated with UEFI support? I'm positively frothing at the mouth with anticipation!
Installted the same on windows 8.1 tablet.
Hi, I'm a beginner. I've bought Windows Tablet (Voyo A1 Mini). Upgraded to Windows 10.
I've tried the new one but failed. I have no permission to reply on that post.

USB driver fail
Could not post to the developer thread were mod is detailed. Search results mentioned in the post came from searching there. I'm searching more throughout forums...and seeking quick relief:laugh:
I am trying to root my Sero 7 Pro using the packaged script. I cannot get the usb drivers installed. I searched for other instances and did not find one that resolved my issue,
I am running XP-32bit SP3 - auto updated through 15 Dec 2013 on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 5000+.
My tablet is Kernel Version 3.1.10 Build Number P756.6.02.20.00
I am getting 'A service installation section of this INF is invalid.'
One thing not mentioned in the initial instructions or what I found searching this thread:
I am forced to be in Media Device MTP or Camera PTP mode. Does this selection matter?
Tried both and results are same.
I have tried the 'PdaNetA4126.exe' work-around mentioned in one of the thread search results, but have the same failure. Now I have two Android driver selections in the Device manager install wizard. If I try either, the error is shown to be the same as above.
Misc.:
I don't know what 'Bluestacks' is.
Search shows Cooch1000 post (3rd September 2013, 09:27 PM) of 'same' issue (XP portion) - there is no reply to that post...
Search shows LivinOne post (15th December 2013, 01:02 PM) where he edits the INF file to questionable progress - don't want to go there without explicit advice
I will continue looking but... can someone help me do this?
TIA

Tried on another computer - essentially the same config - just Intel P4 instead of AMD
no better result
Having the same problem
I'm having the same exact issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi guys! I recently installed Genymotion because I can not buy a Android phone and I needed CamScanner, but I realized that it was closed immediately after opening. As necessity is the mother of invention, I created a special flashable zip that solves many (really do not know how many) problems of incompatibility. Here is the YouTube video as proof. I'm not sure if I can post the file here. When I know that I can post it, I will create a exclusive thread for this. Please comment on the video. If it worked for you, nothing costs you press the thanks button and leave a review on YouTube.
Hope it works!

Nice work dude, every app i tried now works. Thanks.
Genymotion cannot install google play.
so it copys the zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952 to downloads i can open said zip with my pc so it isnt corrupted. however it will not auto extract to the system folder nor can i extract them via the file explorer it says that there isnt any app assigned to that file extension... anyone got a simple apk i can install for it..... o.e
Noticed there is another version of online called Genymotion-ARM-Translation_for_amd_phenom.zip (its file can be found in some google drive), is this better for AMD systems or should we continue with Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip ?
Edit: Nevermind just noticed the dates of files in archives of ARM for AMD seems to be from 2008 while ARM v1.1 is from 2013.

Genymotion & arm translation on kitkat
We know that genymotion arm support is buggy on kitkat because there is no real zip package support for kitkat.
But I have seen that the Tesco hudl 2 in the UK is x86 based and runs on kitkat !
So if someone in the UK having access to a hudl could dump the libraries, we should be able to add real arm support to genymotion images?

I'm using oracle virtual box 4.2.12 and the lastest genymotion and andy.

With genymotion it force closes them upon opening and Andy simply hanging on a black screen for hours. I have tried both methods of pushing apks and downloading them from the playstore. I have also attached the catlog for a few of the apps that crashed. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Problem trying to root Acer Iconia Tab 8 - A1-840
Hi,
I have tried to root my Acer Iconia Tab 8 - A1-840-131U following this guide. Unfortunately, when CWM boots on my tablet, I am not able to select the package to install.
Here is the error messages :
E:installer device ignored
FASTBOOT INIT ...
E:Failed to mount device '/dev/block/sda1' as installer partition using fs_type 'vfat'
E:installer device ignored

Could not open /sys/devices/virtual/blacklight
Does anyone know how I can overcome that problem ?
Thanks in advance !

unable to run "run-me.bat"...
good evening ,
I'm sorry but I followed the tutorial but I get a message to the launch of run-me :
The specified path was not found. '' '' '' ' ' '' Is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
And of course it does not work ...
what should I do?
Not yet...
Well, I made a stupidity to install and it could not walk ...
Now I have another problem when I run run-me.bat (choice 2 / choice A2 / choice 1 / ACCEPT)
scripts will reboot my tab into Bootloader mode and start the exploit, but
I can now Vol+ / Vol- to navigate, and Power to validate
but I have not "install zip", instead some messages:
E:installer device ignored
FASTBOOT INIT...
E:Failed to mount device '/dev/block/sda1' as installr partition using fs-type 'vfat'
ition using fs_type 'vfat'
FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...
E:installer device ignored
E:installer device ignored
E:No valid installer medium found.
Could not open /sys/devices/virtual/backlight
I can only reboot but unable install Super SU
me too...
Unfortunately , I also finally arrived at the same result (with or without SDCard inserted).
There may be different sets of tablets with very slightly different characteristics ?
Excellent that worked.
It might be worth mentioning that actually rebooting into cwm recovery takes a while and it throws up various error messages in the process that can be safely ignored. These caused me to abort the reboot the first time. Giving it time solves all the problems others have posted above!

I have the A1409 edition according to the RMN on the box.
It also sucks that I only have 1GB of RAM in mine.
Do I still have root capability?

Hi David,
I need some precisions.
First, is your tablet the Iconia A1-840-131U (ducati2hd) ?
And if so, would you mind to give us more details about the manner you rooted that tablet ?
Thank you in advance.
Can I root this Acer Iconia A1-840FHD?
Android Version: 4.4.4
UEFI: 1.0.5
Kernel version: 3.10.20+
Image version: Acer_AV0K1_A1-840_RV0ERC02_WW_GEN1
Build number: Acer_AV0K1_A1-840_1.061.00_WW_GEN1
Image P/N: FM.NPSA0.013
So,does anybody know if it will root?
Edit:Anyone else have a backlight bright flash issue?
Mine is randomly having a brief light glitch for some irritating reason.
Yes follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-acer-iconia-tab-8-a1-840fhd-t2933317
Note that when the recovery is booting it takes some time and throws error messages just wait and it gets there then you can install the superuser.
Re backlight the intel chipset does some automatic adjustments to the backlight to save power.

re kumaraji.
No mine's a a1-840-19s6 ducati2fhd
I simply followed the method given. I did abort cwm the first time as it was throwing error messages. After checking the method again i restarted and let it continue despite the errors and it eventually got to the cwm screen from which i installed the zip i'd copied to the internal memory as instructed.

The 1gb means yours is an a1-840hd rather than a a1-840fhd - the hd is 1gb ram and 1280x800 display the fhd is 2gb ram and 1920x1200 display. From posts I've seen it seems this route method doesn't work with the hd only with the fhd
My product and safety information booklet says FHD on the front,maybe it is FHD with a 1gb chip slapped into it instead.
Or they are scamming me with a delusional booklet,or they are too lazy to print it to match the contained device.
Also,what about Root Master?
Can't find a fully english copy.
Has anyone tried Kingo,Vroot,or any other method?
I think we need to request the Kingo team to find a root exploit for it if one has not already been found.
Kingo is still active since the 20th of November's update.
A1-840 Root
Just wondering if this also works for the non HD version of the A1-840?? I don't want to try it unless i know it works with the non HD version. thanks!!!
A1-840 Root
Will this work with the A1-840? the non HD version??? i don't want to try this and have it brick my device.
I bought a sample model off someone and it looks like I got the hd model not the fhd so hopefully a root can be found for this model too.
Device：acer A1-830 4.4.2
Why my tab can not exploit in Bootloader mode ?
It showed "FASTBOOT CMD WAITING..." and stopped.
What step I did mistake.

I'm new in this forum, so I'm sorry if my topic doesn't match here.
Is it possible to run Windows To Go from an USB-Stick after rooting my Acer Iconia A1-840 FHD and enabling the Bootloader?

There are two very popular mxq variants. A full black "ott" and the beelink,which carries the red stripe across the upper corner. I have twrp for both plus the USB burn tool and factory images. Do you still need the files

I have got the usb burning tool already but do i have to open the box and start shorting pins on the nand? I read i need a usb a male to usb a male and i need to install libusb drivers after i have figured out how to make Windows 10 use unsigned drivers. Am i on the right track or is there an easier way than shorting pins and trying to use unsigned drivers.
Ok i have got the newer Amlogic burning tool version 2.0.3 which seemed to install the libusb drivers without any issues which will save me from forcing Windows 10 to allow use of unsigned usb drivers. All i need now is a picture of the 2 pins i have to short on the nand so Windows will see the device. Can anyone help with the pinout of the nand, and maybe alternatives for the points as they are very small. I could solder to them but its not easy by any means.
Many thanks
Way easier. Win 10 uses the worldcup drivers by default. Male to male you can get at a dollar store. From there. Just make sure when you plug in, you do the toothpick until it sees it in burn tool
Info added to my post at #10
If anyone can help with the nand pinout i would be really happy
H Man
H Man, do you not have the push button inside the a/v jack? Only reason I ask is mine do and have always made the box recognizable within 4 seconds of power applied. So ultimately, plug in USB (you must use the back port, not the sides), hold toothpick in a/v hole and make sure button depressed, hold and apply power and hopefully you will see it recognized in burn tool within seconds

I am trying too to root this Chuwi... With the 1st attachment, it was created a temp file in "0" space. With the new attachment, its created in tmp in sdcard1. Does this stay correct in my case? Thanks in advance.
Rom
Hi!
If possible please upload anywhere the original chuwi Vi7 rom.
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, there is a 0 byte file created (that is what the touch command does)
This is so that custom recoveries can check for the presence of the file and then ´know´ the phablet is rooted.

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I made a similar rooting procedure and script for the Chuwi Vi7. I got good results using SuperSU instead of Kingoroot.
I posted it on this Github repository:
Code:
https://github.com/Pacien/vi7-root
thanks for your contribution, cleaner coding than mine
Just 2 observations...
1) you do not verify that remount worked
2) line 39
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
you loose the original patch command in the file
should be instead:
mv /system/bin/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
This way it will still be loaded.
Also ... why do you ask to install superSU on data when the script is installing it on system?

Good point, I should really have put a check here! I'll correct that!

I actually do make a backup copy of this file on line 38, naming it `install-recovery.sh.bckp`.
I'll change the script to name it in the way you mentioned so that it will still be loaded.

In fact I did not have realized that the APKs put in `/system/app` would be automatically extracted x)
The format is
/system/app/appname/appname.apk
(used to be different in older android builds)
Now the next challenge is to unlock the bootloader so a custom recovery can be put together with a Vi7 specific fstab.recovery
Personally I will start once I get my hands on a Vi7 with a working touch screen

I registered on this site just to say a big THANK you for this.
I've never touched android devices before, and promptly bricked this tablet. your guide to reflashing it saved me.
One note that I had to do to get it to flash, was fastboot oem lock. It will not work unlocked. Also, it still took under 30 seconds to flash correctly for me, so having that as a check probably isn't valid for everyone.
Chuwi VI7 Gapps not present
Hi,
Recently i have bought a Chuwi Vi7 Tab from Aliexpress.
On making it on , i didn't found Gapps ,which is a basic app for mobile phones and Tab .
I tried multiple times of installing Gapps but its of no use.
Please help.
Subho
At 1st boot there are no Gapps, but - if you check the 'Update...' tab in Settings - you'll see there's an update firmware available. If you proceed to install the update, then you'll have the Play Store...
At least, that was my case.

Thanks for your reply.
Are you referring to the update which is there inside settings
Settings ---> About phone --> system update.
If it is the same , i already have tried but its showing me no new update available.
If you are referring of some other update then please specify.
Do you have the update stored in your TAB , in that case if you can upload the same ,

Yes, I' m reffering to that one.
I'll specify the version I installed the moment I arrive home...
The current version I have on my Vi7 is:
CW-Vi7-20150724-1900
Quick question: how many partitions and what size each of them has?
On mine there's only one partition - Internal storage - with some 3.6Gb (after installing a few GPS apps only 1.5Gb free).
I'm pretty intrigued as my other tablet - a Pipo S1 Pro - with similar features has two partitions: a 2Gb Internal storage (on which apps are installed) and a 4.5Gb NAND flash (at my discretion).

When you have received the Tablet, was it pre-loaded with Gapps and other softwares.
As my Tablet is not having any of the important software.
When I received the tablet, there was no Gapps present (not even PlayStore). I had no possibility of adding a Google account to the tablet (only other mail account or Exchange account). I downloaded a playstore apk, installed it, but couldn't make it work.
Then I searched for updates, found the update mentioned above, installed it and added Google account (it was now possible); concerning Gapps, only Play Store was installed as part of the new update (if I remember correctly)...

In the 1st post towards the bottom there is now a mega link with a full rom to flash that is NOT the crane but the Chuwi v1.1 with gapps installed
I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread but it seems this is the only place to ask.
Is it possible to save/move apps to a SD card? i can't find any option to do so and app2sd report this tablet doesn't support. not rooted and stock
Part I: description on this ChuWi vi7 tablet with 1GB RAM and 8GB flash.
Intel x3-C3230RK (j.v. with Rochip built by 28nm TSMC fab, has 2x 512KB L2 cache) SoFIA
which runs 32-bit Android 5.1.1.
Quad Core CPU is clocked at 416-900MHz (728MHz nominal) is a bit weak (Intel data brief says it's 1.2GHz x 4): GeekBench3 321 & 956.
I think the tablet is downgraded for thermal throttling (plastic case, not metal.) Suspect SDP is somwhere in between 2-3W.
GPU is ARM Mali450 4-core clocked at 600MHz which Antutu gives high score (at 1280x600 LCD resolution.) It should be good at 1080p (not on this tablet.)
It has 3-axis accelerator, USB OTG, GPS and single SIM slot. Proximity sensor seems to be emulated by touch screen multi-point. Li-Ion is on low capacity (~2500mAh) side.
This tablet when first received from China, there is no Google Play Store nor rooted. After performing phone system update, Google Play now works.

Part II Rooting and mishaps
Rooting is difficult.
Find adb 1.0.32 (exact version needed) and install in a Windows PC (C:\adb).
Install Intel Android device driver first, then (Volume up then plug-in the USB, wait for 15 seconds.) Wait until in Device Manager the Vi7 device is recognized as the Intel Android Device.
At the same time, the tablet screen should show the Android robot with a minimal menu.
I transferred the files (unzipped, from main thread, first post) and
Using XDA vi7root script indeed gained the root.
However, I immediately found the Play Store problem, can't install any app (error 504) nor the existing apps can be updated.

Hope this could help:
After Intel Inside flash screen,
It shows one additional screen right before the Home screen showing up.
Android is starting...
Starting apps.

Also the vi7rootscript removed these (and others):

Can one of these related to Google Play?
