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?

HI everyone,
I bought a HTC HD2 some days ago, and there was win mobile 6.5 and android 2.2 installed. THere were many problem on the Android OS, it was very slow, the auto-rotate function didnt work, the "water scale" didnt also work correctly etc. Win Mobile seemed to work properly...
Today, I installed android 2.2 on my storage card and everything is working fine so far. Of course, WIN MOBILE is on my phones memory. Before installing it, the phone had problems with the flashlight (dual flash), simply, it did not work. Now, it is also not working, neither under WIN Mobile nor ANDROID.
How can I check that it is a hardware failure ? Or maybe its ROM or something ?
Thank you
Please, some idea ?
What level is the battery at? As I think thart below 20% the flash stops working.
What happens in WinMo when you run the camera and select flash always on and then take a picture?
THanx for the response, I really need some help.
Under WinMo occurs the same problem, the flash is not working even if I set it to AUTO/ON/OFF.
I also considered that the image quality after taking a picture and comparing it to my friends phone, is more bad than his one
PLEASE, someone help ?
Anyone has an idea ?

Hi There
I'm not aware of any "diagnostics" modes to test hardware on the device but the first thing I would do from within Winmo is install a Torch App and try and use the torch, if the Torch app initialises the flash on the back of the phone then you know it's a OS fault whereas, if it doesn't you know it's a hardware fault with the flash module itself on the phone
Here's a link to TorchButton
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581382
Let us know how you get on
Thank You very much for the reply.
But I act as a noob.
I copied the whole unrar-ed folder to my SD and to phone, in both ways, when I try to start any of those files it says:
There is no application associated with ... Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.
How to run the application ?
Can someone just download the TORCH and explain to me how to install it
Would be very very thankful.
Can someone just explain me how to install or whatever the torch on my HD2 WIN Mobile 6.5.
THanx
anyone ?
thx
Do not unpack (unzip, unRAR) the file. Just copy it to your phone (or SD card). Use the phone's file explorer and find the file. click on it, and it will install.
.cab files are cabinet files, they pack other files inside them, just like zip files - but they are used in both Windows (the computer o/s) and the WinMo o/s as a unpack and install file (obviously the file should only be run in the desired o/s).
Thank You fred_up,
I barely did it, but the flash is still now working.
I hope its only the flex cable which is not too expensive, about 10 USD !?
Hi everybody.
Many years since I have been on XDA Developers. I recently got given a Sony Tablet S and, in my search for info, ended up here. Great tosee the forum is still great and very useful.
I am from the UK and rooted my tablet yesterday (using methods and SW found here) in order to upgrade to ICS. All went smoothly but I have noticed that I am unable to use the infra red functions on my Toshiba TV and Sky Satellite box after rooting and upgrading. They worked fine before.
Would this be anything to do with changing region?
My world will not end as a result of no longer being able to control my TV and satellite with my tablet. Just curious as to why.
Anyone with explanations or a possible fix, I would appreciate some advice.
Also - and this may just be me - I noticed that if you plug a USB device in or insert the SD card, it creates a folder in the Storage directory which is empty but cannot be deleted. So I currently have sdcard, sdcard1 and sdcard2 and usbdisk1 - usbdisk8. Is there any way to remove these as when I try to delete using File Manager HD, it says no.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I cant give u answer on all but it have two things
First : i hope u did not do a gegion chance while running ics i hope. Strangely enough i thought device should brick but idunno if its supported already
Second : there should be an option to accept root browsing and changing try "Root Explorer" the blue app you can change things if you want. Dont know how much you can adjust change delete etc. Didnt tryed all ofcourse and i think your regular internal sd can not be changed. Permissions for example.

I'm changing my device region all the time, now I've got sony tablet P region lol
About thread/problem name 'Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade' - what root has to do with remote control?
If you don't want to have it, then you can reflash your device with stock ICS zip without any mod, root etc. Remember that its 'one-way-ticket'.
Maybe tomorrow I will check xda forum, and will find a thread about 'I used AiO tool, my leg does not bend to the end'.
OK so, the point is that most probably its an ICS issue.
I've got not-US region device, got ICS on it,
and remote control works just fine!
Start with wiping device, then check, then if its not good for you,
then you can still downgrade your device, back to 3.2.1.
(more info about downgrade in AiO thread - FAQ section).

HAHAHAHA lol xD
Thanks for the advice people.
Condi, thanks for taking the time to read and advise - It was your tool I used to root my tablet in the first place so that I could upgrade to ICS.
I think the point of my post may have got lost in translation a little. All I was saying was that before rooting and upgrading, I/R remote was working on my TV and Satellite receiver and after rooting and upgrading, it no longer does.
I just wondered whether the connection was known or obvious. I presume once Sony officially launch ICS in the UK, we will know!
Thx again
I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.
This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.
More info HERE.
I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux
A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.
Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
With 'busybox installer' and ssh terminal, I am able to get root access.
Now I try to set the default home launcher to something else than original spanish launcher....
I'm interested in this too!
The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.

Hello Guys,
I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.
Here are my findings with it so far:
Android:
The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.
The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.
To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.
Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.
Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.
The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.
The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.
The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.
Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.
It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.
The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.
The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.
Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.
If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.
Official update
There is an official update for this device to ICS 4 (site in spanish though)
engeldroid . com
Got to "Nueva ROM Android 4 ICS" --> "ROM Android 4 ICS" (I'd link it but I don't have 10 posts yet )
Hello everybody,
I'm new on this forum, and you are my last chance. I searched for a long time on the net, but nothing can help me. I bought a memup slidepad NG 808 a year ago (MID rk2918-based, 8" screen, HDMI, 1024 Mo RAM, 6470 Mo stockage) and i wanted to change the ROM because of the low of the official ROM. I searched how to root the tablet, i found and rooted it. After that, i tried to find files to install custom ROM in the tablet. I found a zip from OMA, and i tried to install the ROM via Rkandroidtool. But i made two mistakes. Mistake one, i don't make a backup of the original ROM (oups), and mistake two i don't install the ROM adapted to my tablet specs. When i reboot the tablet after install, the odys loox page appears ont he screen, and after the OMA screen, whith the lightning , appears, but the tablet freezes. I must push the reset button to make reboot the tablet. I can access to the CWM , but anything else. My question is, is it possible to reinstall a ROM from the CWM, and if it's possible,where can i download the file. If it's possible, i would want to install a custom ROM, but if it's not possible, the official ROM works well.
Thank you to welcome me to your forum,
Hello,
I searched on the net, and found some people who has the same problem than me, but no one can help us. I tried to connect my tablet to a ubuntu PC and i have access to the microsd content and the backup file stored in the storage memory of the tablet, with several files in .img. I imagine this is possible to replace this img files by non corrupted files and reboot the tablet. But where can i find this files?
Hello,
I am contacting you to see if someone can help me.
I have a Chinese phone. It is a Guophone i9600, MT6589 CPU quad core 1.2 GHz with 1 GB RAM.
This week it began to continuously display messages “memory full” and it told me to uninstall applications. I looked in settings options and it really showed internal memory was fully occupied ... when it wasn't true. There aren’t no applications installed nor data (including whatsapp app).
I restored the phone to factory defaults and it worked well. Now there was a lot of internal free space. After this, I installed lnk2sd app and I started uninstall applications that came with me smartphone ... but the phone has been bricked.
When I turn it on, it hangs in the original logo GUOPHONE. I don’t have any backup.
My laptop doesn’t recognize it. I have downloaded MT65xx drivers and when I try to connect the smartphone, it tells me not receive reply from the peer (I guess it will be smartphone). Therefore, I can’t use all that solutions that need to connect mi smartphone to my laptop (flash tool, CWM, TWRP, ROM manager ...). I think the only solution is to load a ROM file in ZIP format from the factory recovery menu.
I searched ROMS and I only found one in needrom.com (for Guophone I9602 (I guess you can be the same as mine, i9600)). I've downloaded it from a web page link and a mirror link, and one is a single file with img extension and the other one is a .rar. I have unzipped it and it has a few files with extension tar and img. I've tried everything, zip them, unzip them, renamed file extension... and nothing have worked.
I have also tried to generate a zip with the two img file (I think they're called recovery and boot) as someone said in some websites and it didn’t work. They said I have to include a META_INF folder, but I have no idea where to get it.
I have even located the manufacturer's website, I sent them an e-mail to ask them smartphone`s ROM zip file and they didn’t reply me.
One more thing, I bought two identical phones, one for a friend and one for us. Is there any way to get from me friend’s smartphone a file from ROM ZIP file to use it in our smatphone from recovery menu?
From my friend's phone I have downloaded (in "backup user data" option from original recovery menu) a file with backup extension. But when I try to restore it in me phone, it shows me a checksum error.
Thanks in advance. Excuse my poor English, please.
Best regards
