I can't seem to find any info here (or anywhere else, really) for this device made by Chinese manufacturer JXD. Here is a link: http://www.jxd.hk/game-console/s192/
It runs the nVidia Kepler chipset. This means, in theory, I should be able to wipe this device and flash the nVidia Shield Tablet K1 stock ROM on it. I can't seem to find any information on how to do it, though. Looks like there is very little information about this particular manufacturer in general. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about this device they can share with me?
Thanks.
Hi, was just able to root mine using kingoroot (pc version) moments ago.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-root-android-4.4.htm
GL! Hope someone would make a marshmallow rom for this great device..
Kingoroot installs some apps with it on your pc and device so just uninstall them too.
Hello
at the moment there is nothing that's a shame for a jxd device does not upgrade a marshmallow
The device is great to play but this way it only uses for retro games
P.S I HOPE THAT SOMEONE VERY GOOD WE CAN HELP
BUT I BELIEVE THAT NO MAYBE it ABLE TO UPDATE THE JXD SINGULARITY
good day
Can you guys give a review of this device?
I'd like to know how the controls feel (compared to an xbox gamepad)
Additionally, I'd like to know how it works with PS4 remote play apk and moonlight (for PC streaming)
As for how to for flashing..etc I could definitely work on that as I'm looking to buy one but I'd like to know more about the device since there are ZERO reviews out there for this.
The controls are well built and it is really comfortable to hold. I had this for 4months and loved it. Unfortunately one of the joystick broke and had to return it. Return process was dodgy but luckily I got my money back. Now I have the GPD XD. User experience wise I liked the JXD S192 more.. Though mine broke, I'd still pick the JXD S192 over the GPD XD if given the chance. The screen was awesome for any gaming.. I'd honestly say they hit the sweet spot design wise.
***********WARNING FLASH/INSTALL @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!*************
I do not take any responsibility if anything were to go wrong in the process of installing any apps to your device!!!!!!
Hey Guys
So I recently brought the JXD S192k of GearBest and the first thought that came to mind was how i was going to root it just like all my other android devices, little did I know just how difficult it was gonna be to find any information regarding the root process.
All searches regarding this device and obtaining root were fruitless, it didn't matter what I searched under there's just isn't anything out there!
Frustrated I turned to Kingoroot only to find myself more frustrated as i needed to reroot everytime i restarted the device, each time taking longer than the last and keeping this thing ON was not an option.
Then.........I happened to stumble across something that changed everything, looking through the official JXD digital site I saw that they had a Firmware available for the previous version the S192 and in amongst the files was a Root apk. So I thought to myself there isn't much of a difference between the 2 devices so I downloaded it from the Mega site and transferred it to my device.
Once it installed it was just like the Chinese version of Kingoroot and even through everything was in Chinese you could pity much make out what you needed to press. The process it didn't take long and with the 2 root checker apps installed I confirmed that I indeed rooted my device so I went ahead and installed BusyBox to the system.
The best thing about this process is not having to worry about losing root upon restarting, there's one thing that I should mention is NOT to install any sort of SuperSu apks or zip files as you'll get a error message stating the SU binary is occupied. Just use the INBUILT supersu that comes with the Root apk and you should be fine.
Here's some screen shots taken from my system to show that it does work, along with my system details taken from Device info apk.
Hopefully someone out there in the XDA community can expand on what I've stumbled across in the hopes that one day we'll be able to get a custom recovery for our machines.
I have owned the sinigularity for about 4-5 years and I think its an awesome bit of gear for what it is. The controls work fine and feel good in the hand and I've used it with remotr linked to my PC and and found it did work fine for games that didn't require split second reflex timing but there was a little lag. Over all it worked great and you can run your PC remotely from other rooms in your house (if you wanted too).
The 10,000 mah battery is the real deal and has plenty of playtime.
I use it a lot for playing movies and link it to a projector via the HDMI output. The screen is a great size and I don't know how they didn't become more popular.
I only found this thread because I was looking for firmware upgrades but as you all know there doesn't seem to be any. Either way I'm still using it but it would be nice if they had support.

I recently got my hands on a quite interesting device, a cideko simple box.
Just for the sake of it, I'd like to hack it, and maybe even get a custom rom on it.
It's basically a set-up-multimedia-thingy-box for a TV running android, and it's pretty damn cheap.
Using adb via TCP/IP I was already able to connect and also get a rootshell (yay!)
However, it seems like no firmware files/instructions how to flash are available by the manufacturer (nay!)... I already asked them nicely, let's see what I get back.
You can find the adb bugreport output here if you're curious.
Anyone wants to help?

Saw this hardware before. 600Mhz, no openGL or any accelleration for games, nothing.
It does play back media files, but that's about it.
Very low-end chipset from Skyviia.. ARMv5TEJ at ~228 bogomips is pretty bad.
Does it support the install of apk files from USB? and does it allow flash on websites?

Did you manage to customise your Simplebox? I bought one and the description said "Install Apps and games via the built in SD card slot (APK files)" but I can't find anything in the manual.

I have one too. I like the device and the air keyboard, plus it was pretty cheap. I was really pleased that SMB/CIFS support worked out of the box and witha few other things, but thats where it stops. The software included is the let down, not the machine itself. Video playback is out of sync 99% of the time until you fast forward and/or rewind then it magically syncs up again, only 1 CIFS connection at a time, the vast majority of apps will not install and those that do fail to run, the video software displays long file names in such a way, that you cannot determine which file is which, etc. I sent Cideko an email asking them to pretty please provide a new update addressing these issues, but I heard nothing back and I sent it months ago.
The picture is good, the device is unobtrusive and if you rename your file appropriately then it is a bearable media streamer, but it could have been the best little cheap media box ever with just a little care and attention. Disappointing that no one is interested in improving it.
Hey guys, I'm not sure where to even post about this.
I ordered two of the Zero Z902 mini computers, since they're currently on sale at Asia Pads for $75 a pop.
http://www.asiapads.com/product_info.php?products_id=2291
The highlights:
-CPU is a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A8 "AllWinner A10" package.
-1GB of RAM
-4GB internal flash storage
-WiFi B/G/N onboard
-MicroSD slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage (pretty much standard)
-stock ROM is some sort of ICS
-Unit is freaking TINY, has a built in HDMI male plug on it, and can be powered off of USB. This means if you get lucky with your TV's port layouts and USB port voltage, you could just piggy back this guy onto the back of your TV and not have to run any cables to it.
The spec sheet on AsiaPads is a fairly amazing Engrish translation, but the company actually making the devices is somewhat reputable.
The Z902 appears to be their third or fourth generation of this type of device, and this one is supposedly pretty decent. Here's their site:
http://www.zero-devices.com/
It seems like this device could be pretty decent. My package of two was delivered today to my house. I'm writing this from the office. I wasn't able to find anyone talking about this device on XDA yet, so I figured I'd post about it.
If its awesome, or terrible, I'll post my OOBE and hacking experiments here
My primary use-case for this is a tiny & silent thing to attach to my TV and give me XBMC and NetFlix at a really good price.
I may test it out for use as an emulator if it doesn't immediately burst into flames when playing Avengers in 1080P
Hopefully if that happens I'll catch it on video...
I found a generic CM10 ROM for A10 tablets, so I'm hoping that with some help I can get CWM working on this device and then maybe custom ROMs? We'll see how terrible the stock ROM is.
From what I have, Zero Devices gives you a rooted device right out of the box, and "stock" Android should be pretty good I hope.
First update:
I was able to hook up one of the two Z902s I ordered to my TV without anything catching on fire or dying.
The device works and can put out 1080P video.
I was able to get the stock Market working as expected, and pretty much immediately installed YouTube, which works nicely.
The UI in general feels kinda slow / crappy, and I'm not sure what exactly to pin this on yet.
I am presently very new at operating Android via mouse & keyboard so its pretty awkward LOL
The stock ROM is honestly kinda terrible and, in its present form, basically useless to me.
BS Player plays everything in SW mode for some reason.
NetFlix will not install from the Market.
XBMC crashes at launch without generating any xbmc.log file.
In the Settings > Info, I see the "Neon" CPU feature listed, but I tested both the "Neon" and non-Neon builds.
I was able to get an SSH app installed and working.
What's weird is, there appears to be a su binary present, but SuperUser.apk I am used to using doesn't work.
I mean, I appear to be able to do "root" stuff, but never get any prompts to OK app access to root.
Also I am unable to remount /system as RW.
My next task is to get some form of ADB connection to the device working so I can further troubleshoot this.
I suspect I'm gonna have to modify boot.img to allow /system to be modified. We'll see.
I didn't have time to set up the device so I could SSH into it from work today, so can't make any progress until tonight.
Hey, DivinityCycle, thanks for your post. I have ordered the Z902 but still waiting. Glad to hear they are shipping. I am using an android 4.1 set top box which is a learning experience. Wireless mouse barely usable. I will come back here when I have anything on the Z902.
I just got my Z902 today. I found the same thing that you did regarding the root. Can mount system as writeable. I also found that MANY apps in the Market are not compatible with this device so they won't let me install them.
I'll be interested to hear what other people's experiences are.
You mean "can't" mount the system as writeable?
Honestly I have been busy with a lot of other stuff, so I haven't bothered messing with my Z902 yet, sort of hoping someone else will get root on it first. We also will need someone to get CWM or something equivalent ported before anything truly useful can be done.
Is it even possible to get ADB to this thing working via some sort of USB hookup?
oops. yeah. "cannot" mount.
It does seem you can do a usb hookup. There is some kind of utility (And driver maybe) on their website.
I downloaded an app called "Root Checker" but it just hangs when I click "Verify root access"
ADB is key to getting even a really basic root going, I think.
From what I have read elsewhere, the boot.img must be modified to allow us to remount / and /system as RW.
Post a link to the site, wouldja? I'm going on vacation starting on Friday, so I may actually find some time to work on this a bit.
update:
I installed another App called "Got Root?"
it checked and says:
Successfully located "su" (superuser) on device.
Successfully obtained root privileges through 'su'!!!
Successfully located BusyBox on the device.

That manual is the best little handbook for these Android HDMI Sticks because of the relatively unfamiliar GUI (mouse and TV) needs
Very sorry to report that after long wait my zero devices Z902 will not boot past the "Android " logo. Resets have not helped.

Its A piece Of Crap. I bought one (Pre-ordered) from asiapads.com. The 4.04 Android OS is very unstable and slow. Device claims to be rooted by only one out of ten apps requiring root were able to run. OS has a built in SU hidden somewhere that does not require permission. Most apps requiring root are not granted permission Others like Titanium backup ARE able to get it. You cannot install your own SuperUser app either. It says you do not have root access. No custom Roms are available for the z902 yet so your stuck with stock. Also, large downer is no built in Bluetooth I have 15 different cheap USB Bluetooth dongles which none of them work after hours of tinkering. Must have 2.4g keyboard or mouse to control. Otherwise you have to plug in a mouse or keyboard manually (One at a time) into the one regular USB 2.0 port. After installing about 20 apps on the device the OS became very unstable with choppy mouse movement. I did not like this so i wanted to do a benchmark test. To be fair though i reset the OS to factory settings erasing everything. I got a scare here when doing the factory reset though. The OS would not boot back up. It instead got stuck in a booting loop. Loading the Zero devices welcome screen then The android loading screen. Then turn off loosing hdmi signal to the TV. A few seconds later the Zero devices Welcome screen would load and continuing this loop. After watching 8-9 loops, I gave up (A bit Mad that I even bought the piece of ****) and walked away. After playing on my phone for about 4 minutes the TV made noise drawing my attention. The OS finally loaded up correctly to the initial setup screen. Installed and ran Antutu Benchmark getting a very low score of 2200 (1.5 stars) and the CPU range was from 0.008-1.005 GHz When its claimed to have a 1.5GHz Cortex-A8. I tried to take screenshots of the results but all the screenshot apps required root and kept force closing. Overall I would highly NOT recommend this product. Instead buy a cheap phone or tablet with an hdmi output. Any of them would provide a better product than this UN-powerful PC Stick that is going in my junk drawer. BTW, my phone got a benchmark score of over 5000 and it also has a 1.5GHz processor.
Also it comes with a card that shows how its authentic and that you can check out its authentic on there website. But the websites checker does not seem to work. Whats the point..
I just received the z902 this week and I'm not unhappy with the purchase. I mean, I bought it to give some "intelligence" to an old TV and it is doing the trick.
I must confess I have only installed a couple of apps (MX Player, Youtube, ES File Explorer...), but it doesn't seem to behave slowly. I agree with the fact that I don't understand/like why can't I install some apps (e.g., Chrome).
Overall I'm happy with the device, taking into account that I just want it to play video and maybe surf the web. High def video plays perfectly fine, so I'm good. Despite everything, I hope in a neer future it will be possible to install CWM and then CM10.
BTW, if you don't want to spend money on a wireless keyboard/mouse, and have an Android tablet/smartphone, check DroidMote, for 1.99 is worth the value. In fact I think you can even install it for free if you go the dev's post here at XDA.
Received the Z902 but it does not show up anything on the screen !!

Maybe it is silly to ask, but did you connect it to the AC? Remember that HDMI is not giving the device any power so you have to connect it via the USB cable provided to the TV or to one plug with an adapter.
If that is not the case... post more details on how you connect it and maybe we can help.
There is also a reset button that does a hard reset.

I found out the hard way that the 902 needs a little extra power. After using a 600mA phone charger and a TV USB port and only getting half way through the boot sequence I changed to a 1A charger and viola!
Not sure if this is the same issue you've been having, but I thought I'd share it.

Did you try a >=1A charger?
(See my post above)
Tatting, that is a great find! I'm pretty sure my TV's USB port doesn't pack enough punch to run the stick at a full 1A, so that may explain my stability issues. I've been working on a ROM for my tablet, so haven't been focused too much on the stick PCs for now.
I AM learning some good tricks which may help in ROMing the stick eventually. The first / most important thing we need for this device to be more useful is CWM. I honestly don't know how feesible it is to port it to this device.
It seems like CWM mostly just needs to know how the store device partitions are laid out on the device, and in this case, probably needs to be patched for keyboard input. This device is kindof on my back-burner for now since I have a lot of other crap I'm working on and I just got notice that my Raspberry Pi has shipped, so I'll probably have it within 21 days. The Pi seems like it'll occupy much the same usecase as the 902, but without as much crappiness. We'll see!
Bigger power supply! It finally solved my problem. No Z902 boot with 500ma. Unstable with 700ma. I am going for greater than 800ma, Will overheating be the next nuisance?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
so basically I've determined that although the device IS rooted, the system file system cannot be mounted as R/W. I've tried several different utilities and they've all come up with the same result.
I'm also frustrated in that I've contacted AsiaPads and have not received a response.
---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------
BTW, I'm using a 1amp power supply on mine. When it comes to amperate, a higher rating on the power supply is ok. The device will only pull the amperate that it needs.
I am using 1 amp supply and Z902 now works properly. Why didn't their support people say this?

Hello, i have a usb xbox 360 controller (realy a usb nothing a charge cable) and a OTG cable, I've seen many videos where to connect these control the galaxy s3 is automatically recognized but in my phone with JB 4.2 and stock kernel only frash the lights, not recognized in any way with any buttons ...... Wath I do wrong?
Sorry for my bad ..VERY BAD ENGLISH xD but this I mean:
http://youtu.be/lrZ-xnzYVLA
Hey everyone, I'm having the same problem and unfortunately searching has not provided a definitive answer. Some youtube vids and articles say you can just plug and play, others say you need to root and use the sixaxis app or the usb/bt joystick app.
Like the OP I have an S3 on 4.1.1, but when I plug in the official wired xbox pad, it doesn't appear to be recognised. Youtube vids show grand theft auto 3 working without anything more then using an OTG cable to connect the pad. I downloaded the usb/bt joystick app and it recognises the pad, but pretty sure I would need to root the phone in order for that to work properly (although I did manage to get the analogue sticks working at least).
If anyone knows for definite whether the pad should work without any apps I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
I already made a small research, it was a big dump of crap
For native support, we need first of all, recomiled xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko modules for the latest kernel, but no of the devs took a look at this problem.
As a programmer noob, I wasnt even able to do this, so it is still up to the devs for helping out on this ****.
I also mailed samsung and the told me, they will pass on the actual situation and maybe we will ged support in near future. so take it on and contract samsung, possibly it will bring something
and sorry for my bad english, hadnt any real conversation for more than a half year.

Yeah man you you're right ... just waiting.
Thanks guys, much appreciated! Guess I'll just wait it out then, the people in the vids must have rooted, was kinda hard to tell.
Of course you need root, mate, without root there is nothing possible.
Only with root you can place modules inside your system partition, use init.d and launch modules trough an terminal emulator or just as I said, have a custom kernel with init.d support, so you can setup a script, that will start the modules just at boot of your phone.
but I havent found anyone who could do this, and I dont have any ideas how to code or compile the ****^^
there are also some versions of the module e.g. for ICS kernels, for GB too, and for extremely old based kernels like 2.6.xxxx, but nothing for exynos based 3.0.31 kernel that sucks
Now, I know this is not the ideal place to post this kind of issue. I have already posted a thread on the Yarvik Support Forum, but I have also read (on their and on this forum) that their support can be a bit... unsupportive. So I would like to repost the thread I have created there, here.
Dear Yarvik Support Team,
My sister and I have quite recently each bought a Yarvik Xenta TAB10-201 tablet. My sister purchased it first, and I, being the forever criticist I am, followed a week later.
In general I am impressed with the tablet. It provides good quality for its price, and while it obviously cannot be compared to 'main brand tablets', it still is a very good tablet.
However, there have been a few things that bother me about the tablet and prevent me from really enjoying it, and I wonder if you could be able to help me.
The tablet sometimes has the issue that it does not register the touch inputs correctly. I mainly notice this while browsing the web (using Chrome & Stock webbrowser);
it can be very hard to open / close tabs, and when I am scrolling the tablet often opens links that I wanted to scroll past. It then can also be hard to open the links I did want to open.
Now, the problem described above is not that big of an issue. It can be an annoyance and I would like to see it fixed, though. The bigger problem is that when I hook up my tablet to the provided charger, and I want to browse a few webpages and / or want to play a game on the tablet, it does all kind of 'phantom touches'. What I mean by that it is that while I do not press on that particular area (or do not even press at all), the tablet still seems to think I have touched that particular area and thus unwantedly launches an app, or unwantedly closes a webpage I was still browsing. It even gets so bad that when I try to unlock the tablet while charging it jumps to the camera app unlock and takes a bunch of pictures. Now, the weird thing about this is that it only happens on my tablet; my sister's tablet (as I mentioned earlier, exactly the same) does not have this problem with either her or my charger. My tablet does have it no matter which charger is used.
I have already looked for a solution on your forums, but have not found a sufficient solution. Some people did provide a solution in the form of 1. Reflashing my firmware, or 2. Installing a custom ROM. I would like to know which solution you can provide for me. It could also be that the touchscreen is simply damaged; I would then like to send in my tablet for repairs.
If any of you would be able to help me, or have had a similar issue (and preferably fixed it), that would be great. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking at this inexpensive HDTV tuner/DVR. I'm guessing that they're ARM/Android-based but I'm going to buy one and open it up to see what's inside. It has all the makings of a cool, inexpensive little OTA DVR box - ATSC tuner, HDMI output, and a USB port for a TB storage drive. I originally bought the wrong (previous) model and played around with it. It was pretty responsive/seemed to have enough horsepower. Picture quality was good. DVR functionality didn't seem to work properly and the EPG was utter crap. If it's ARM/Android based and could be rooted, we could probably get XBMC on it and this thing would be a TiVo Roamio KILLER.
I could try to root it on my own but I've never done anything like that before and wouldn't know where to start. Can anyone point me toward any "how to root an Android device" resources?
I'm not without skills, but it would probably be better to just post a bounty and get help from the experts. What's the best way to go about doing something like that? What kinds of details do I need and how do I come up with the terms for the bounty? And WHERE would I post it?
I should probably add that I've googled rooting Android devices and the resulting haystack is focused on rooting phones. There's no MicroSD card to play with here - only the USB port - and no bootloader or BIOS prompt that I can see.
You could either try to get access through a serial or jtag connector, that is for example, how it was possible to change the firmware on the Fonera FON2100, which is maybe the easiest way.
Or you could try do disassemble a firmware update for this Router and reassemble it to work in your desired way, e.g. flash a different firmware.
Or you could try the numerous combinations of keys to press, where one may lead to something like fastboot.
But if it is really some sort of android-based you should try the various root-methodes like towelroot first.
