Hi guys, i hope you can help me.
Somewhere around 2011/2012 i bought a tablet (Yarvik TAB467), one of the worst mistake of my life because it is absolutely terrible, it can hardly load a website!
Yesterday i found it lying in a closet, i decided to dust it off and see if there was a better rom for it (it had an andriod 4.0.4 install on it from 2012).
Please note that i am an absolute novice when it comes to these kind of things, but with the help of google and a youtube video i decided to give it a try.
The first thing i read was that i had to root it using something called TWRP, so i downloaded Ainol Spark since that was used in the youtube video, placed it on my microsd card and managed to get into the boot menu.
There i selected the TWRP file, installed it and after rebooting the tablet is dead. The only thing that happens is the backlight turns on, besides that.. nothing.
I can no longer access the boot menu, it also won't boot the regular way, it does not respond to usb-cables, nothing.
Is there anything i can do from this point on, besides throwing it in the dumpster?
I found people saying the tablet was similair to the Allwinner A10, since i couldn't find anything specific for the Yarvik TAB467 i decided to focus on the allwinner roms.
The tables should have a Cortex A8 processor.
Any help would be gratefull.

Right , Hello
Greetings from Ireland and to any Irish people on this, Hows it going ?
Bought this Goophone i5 from aliexpress there last September, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/262984369.html
Everything was fine until the other day when the screen calibration started to act funny so after many resets and the rest it still didnt fix it I thought to myself right ill try flashing a new ROM to it, couldn't be that hard ? right ?.. I've done this with PSP's many moons ago and thought things would be grand.
So I read loads of tutorials and forums here and decided to give it a go.
I used the flash tools from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43678784&postcount=46
and this rom
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=412128&uk=3022339290
The scatter file matches with my phone so im baffled to where the problem is,
My phone wont turn on or boot into recovery mode ,and I've no backup of my initial rom.
I tried flashing it again and everything went fine in flash tools with no errors but the phone still wont turn on or boot, it just slightly vibrates.
Is there anyway where I can completely wipe the phone and re flash it?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated because I have absolutely no idea where to go from here.
Hello guys,
I have an Star S7189 Phone which I had to return to stock (the owner tried to root but failed and wanted me to get rid of the root), but now that I flashed the stock rom the Display is totally glitchy.
The Device boots fine and I can even flash a custom recovery but even there the screen is glitched. (its basically unusable right now in this state)
I have to return it (working) to the owner.. or he will blame me (understandable)...
I flashed the following rom:
http://www.needrom.com/download/star-s7189s/
because it was the only one I could find that SP-Flashtool would let me flash.. (the other roms are all for MTK6589 but this device seems to be a MTK6582 one - at least thats what SP-Flashtool recognizes it for.
When I ran CPU-Z before all this it said 6589 though.. ?!
---
Usually I manage to fix things, but in this case I'm out of ideas.
When I got the phone it had a newer Firmware Version installed than the one I got now (it was from 2014) but I just cant find any other rom for the MTK6582 model than the one above...
Another weird thing: The sticker under the Battery says Quad 1.6 Ghz - but the MTK6582 is not 1.6 GHz is it?
I really hope anyone can help please !!!!!
I either need another rom or find a way to fix the display... I already thought it might be a hardware issue because even the battery charging screen and the custom recovery screens are affected by the glitches - but it was working alright before.. (with a half assed root which was not working .. or else I wouldnt have tried to flash stock rom anyway...)
HALP!
Additional Infos:
I *think* the rom has the wrong lcd drivers or smth .. because even I can't really "see" them, there seem to be onscreen buttons for menu and back, ALTHOUGH the device has hardware buttons for that - and the old rom didnt have any onscreen buttons showing ....
Please guys, if anyone knows a bit about those MTK china stuff please think of a way how to fix this thing .. I'm really out of ideas..
I have loaded that "MDT Flash Tool" which lets you choose drivers for lcd etc.. but this damn thing does not accept the MTK6582 rom which I need to flash - with MTK6589 roms (which do not work for the device) it opens them fine...
This could be the first soft-brick that I really cant fix ........and its due to lack of files it seems..?
Any way that I could "mod" the rom to get the display working?
Hello everyone. This is a long story, so thanks in advance to read it and try to help me.
I've got a Trekastor surftab Ventos 8.0 this one --> http://www.trekstor.de/detalles-de-surftabs/product/272.html?file=tl_files/generatedPdf/272-de.pdf
model st80208-2 . I'm not sure if it is the 8 or 16 GB. And I don't know how to check it because the tablet is bricked.
How did I brick the tab?
This is a good question. I had lost the charger and I tried with another one with a higher voltage. This ruined the batery. And when I found the charger the tablet show a strange behaviour. It was trying to start but reboot before to finish. I was able to finish a full boot but the batery only works for a few minutes. After solve the batery problem, now I can start the tablet without problem about the voltage but, it seems like all this failed attemps to boot have made some damage somewhere.
What I have now?
The tablet start. It show's the trekstor logo. After that it show's the android logo, and that's all. It stuck's looping in the android logo.
What I have tried?
Everything.
1.- Custom recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039964 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995984
This method not working in my tablet even when it was not bricked. (I tried it, when I was trying to get root access a month ago).
Power + Volumen (-) gets nothing at all. It's start normally. (and loop in my currently situation)
Power + Volumen (+) gets this screen http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/android-recovery-mode.jpg and anything happens no matter what button I'm pressing even with the custom recovery in the sdcard.
2.- I tried to flash the tablet, but I didn't find information about how to do it and trust me, I have searched a lot.
I triend with this software: "Amlogic Image Burning Tool v.1.6.2.2" and this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039964 . But I get the error "find no upgrade config, please load it manually". I'm pretty sure I doing something wrong, but I have no experience with this software or flashing in general.
That's all for now I'm tired of reading this forum and this other one in german. (thanks to google translator) http://www.android-hilfe.de/surftab-ventos-8-0-forum/ and I did not find anything useful for me
You people are my only hope. (Any Star wars fan in the room?:laugh:
So any help would be wonderful, thanks in advance and sorry for my mistakes, english is no my mother language.
Hello,
I've wanted to get back on my tablet to the factory reset state, so I've messed up. I tried first with factory reset/delete cache/data.. But I had deleted some of the system apps (bloatware) so It wasn't factory state.. So I did a research and I found on acer website the original OS for B1 710 so I downloaded it and put it on sd card and from the stock recovery installed it. So now my touch screen doesn't work, so should I call that soft brick? Btw. my tab was rooted with KingRoot
I found plenty of threads on XDA but many of them including unlocking bootloader and installing CWM, the links are down (redirecting to some russian site telling me the site is down). So my question is: How can i restore my tablet to factory state? Flash the original firmware/rom.. I don't have experience with MediaTek chipsets and this kind of devices. So I really don't know what to do to bring my tablet back to working state/factory state..
What can I do?
Please help,
Thank you
- I'm sorry if my thread is in wrong section (I'm new in posting threads in XDA and I despredly need help with my tab)
Same here!
Hi, though it's been a been a few months ago your post was posted but I've got the same problem as you. I rooted my tablet with Kingroot and deleted bloatware apps. I went to recovery mode and tried to hard rest my tablet but same issue. I'll answer within a few days time to let you know any fix. Right now I'm trying to install 3rd party apps to fix my screen but for now I've got some paperweight with me. I'll try my best to fix this issue and hope someone else would help us or what their experiences are like.

I acidently bricked my Chinese clone tablet. I got it from Aliexpress (here is the URL http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7000961874.html?orderId=70071566001044) I can get into TWRP OK. but when I boot into the OS I just get short lines across the center of the screen. If this was a PC I would guess it is a problem with the video card driver. Not sure if the same guesses apply here. I did a backup but it ended up corrupted and unusable. Would anyone have some suggestions of ROM's I could try to bring this back to life? When it was working, was looking around in the files, in one of the boot areas found a ton if SAMSUNG logo stuff, not sure if this make it a Samsung clone.
It was/is called a model N9106 or N9101 (forgot which) and the number HK-MTK6582 were in there if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any hints.
