Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

it2Steve did a very detailed review of this dock. The thread has been around for almost a year and has a lot of information if you take some time to read up on it.
Dock review
So, I bought my son a cheap little 7" Android Tablet for his 7th birthday from Amazon. He loves my Skyrocket and Thrill, so I figured he would enjoy it. Got it today and was thinking of rooting it. It seems pretty much unbranded. Here is the issue- It does not hook directly to the pc as our phones do. It has a hub adapter that plugs into it that has 2 usb ports and 1 ethernet port. Will getting a double female usb cord work? If not, are there any on device rooting solutions out there anymore? Here are a few of the specs-
A8 Processor @800MHz
Android Version- 2.3.3
No Baseband
Kernel Version-2.6.35.7-infoTM
Build Number-GRI40
Model Number-m7206 v2.2
Thanks guys. I am not looking for anyone to walk me through this, just a nudge in the right direction. Google has not gotten me anywhere, mainly because of the lack of interface to the pc. Otherwise, I would already have given it a go with Superoneclick just to test it. Again, thanks guys.
Additionally, this Tablet DOES have the actual Android Market on it. Already downloaded quite a few app just to make sure. I downloaded Titanium Backup just to assure myself. Of course without root, it did me no good. More for confirmation than anything.
It appears as if my post was somewhat premature. Gingerbreak has got me done up right. Generic Tablet-$72.00. Rooted-Priceless.
I'm planning to buy the 6 inch N9776 android phone soon and I need to know if it's possible to use an external usb keyboard or game controller with it if I get a usb otg cable. I've done a search but could not find an answer. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.
3 days later and no responses.
I went ahead and ordered it, so maybe in a month or so I'll be able to report back the answer to my question. But I certainly won't be upset if someone gives some feedback.
My Sero 7 Pro will not output to HD resolutions on my television. It will only output to 640x480.
I can't figure out why this is happening, but I'm assuming it's HDCP related. The Sero 7 Pro doesn't have any HDMI output options. So far no ROM I've downloaded has fixed this either (I've tried XESeroROMv2 and Jellytime 4.3.1).
Any suggestions, or apps that may force this?
Thanks!
Nobody knows?
Anybody?
bump.
Can anybody help with this?
Bumping again. Really hoping somebody out there knows what's going on with this.

Same issue here so it's not only you. Wish I could be of help but I came here with the same question. I am going to try some different devices today and see if it makes any difference.

It's definitely a software problem. Jellytime 4.3.1 works in HD but is stuck in portrait mode. That ROM also has HDMI options, unlike the stock one.
I'm losing faith that Hisense will get it together, but maybe the community here will be able to work it out, between XboxExpert, DeloresSpark, and RandomBlame. XESero7ROMv2.2 is actually quite good, it's my daily driver currently, but still has the HDMI output issue.

You're obviously new to this so I'd like to ask you not to do it. Flashing ROM or whatever you want to flash doesn't necessarily make your device better, also if you make a mistake - Usually that ends in bricking the device - then no one is responsible but you, and you'll have very hard time fixing the device.
Don't waste time and good working device for whatever reason you want to do this.
If you're still persistent on flashing your device may I know why you want to do it?

Yes I am newbie to these android boxes or tv boxes.
I purchased this box from local store 2 yrs ago. Not all channels stopped working. The box itself works (can't do much).
I wanted to delete whatever software they have installed and install basic Android, where I can install my own apps. Mostly iPTV smarter app.
that box right now is useless to me.
Is Linux box same as andriod? (sorry this could be a different question)
I believe they installed linux on Andriod box. Based on this, my menu looks just like this

What's your device model? There may be different ways to do it.
No, linux is obviously different from android box. Can't say which is better, but generally speaking I'd prefer android.

I really don't know the exact model. I spent weeks googling and youtube based of the manufacture label. Its says HD-5301B+. The closest I got to was the safe mode menu here

It's device specific so if you can't find the device model then I can't do much.
As for flashing you can only apply update which obviously doesn't do what you want, but you can try factory resetting. Some bloatware can be removed by factory resetting. Here is how.
Alternatively you can use SD card to apply update from it - Should you find the firmware - by following this guide.

I've been working with him on another site about this and have told him pretty much the same thing you have. This is his Device model HD-5301B IPMacro this is all I could find on it
CPU: RT6856 MediaTek SoC 700Mhz MIPS
OS: Androdi INNOXPLAY
It most certainly does not Have an Amlogic S905X in it. He want to flash it with custom firmware because it's a locked one provider box that he cannot sideload apk's to. Thing is there is just not a custom firmware out there for it. I've spent way more time looking for one for him than I wanted to but I'm a nice guy. I've told him to chalk it up as a learning experience. Don't buy one provider boxes and get something that's main stream that way you stand a better chance of doing things with it in the future.

Good people should really stop trying imo, like the more you try the more the dude you're talking to asks.
And usually just impudently asks for the unreasonable without doing any research whatsoever by themselves, how rude can someone get?
Anyway lemme give you and people like you a cookie. Don't actually listen to my opinion, good natured people like you are still needed.

thanks, I appreciate that. its a good learning experience.
One thing I wanted pull back from my post is that my box is not IPmacro 5301. IPmacro is just another vendor selling that box. I digg alot of other vendors. Such as NoorHDTV, unitedTV, catcast etc. they all have same box, but under different name.
Just found another vendor http://androidtvboxquadcore.org/201...an-400-channels-two-years-of-service-include/
See attached photo of the safe mode window. what is this URL used for? I do have a paid iPTV service, should I add that here? or should I add the m3u URL directly here?
my question is still outstanding, whether my box is android or Linux?

Thank you for the compliment I am good natured. I'm actually disabled and can't work anymore so helping people let's me feel I'm still useful in the world. lol I Have a TranSpeed 8K Ultra-HD S905X3 box that came with truly cheesy firmware so I set out on a mission to make the box as good as possible without a worry over ruining it. I wasn't going to use it as it was. After several failures trying to find a suitable firmware and bricking it several times I found the SlimBox Rom and am a happy camper.
Before I found the SlimBox I set out on a mission to take another firmware that worked good but wasn't set up for my wifi chip and remote configs and fix it myself. I got as far as getting it unpacked and finding the files I needed to do the fix but wasn't able to repack it. There just not a lot of good software out there for Android 9.0 or there wasn't at the time. Ok I'm rambling have a great evening.
I just connected my box using usb male cable and nothing is happening to USB burning tool or making any sound to my PC.
Did you find the reset button and have it pushed when you powered up the device?

I did. all it does, restarted my box. I can enter the safe mode menu/security menu by just pressing 0 few times at reboot, so I don't know how useful that button. Its hard too.
Disconnect the box completely from everything but the power. Have to the box shut off depress the reset switch then plug the usb into the USB 2.0 port on the box. Then the burner should detect the box. Make sure the USB cable is rated for data transfer and the you are plugged into USB 2.0 port on the PC.

I have this cable
QVS USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male to USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male Cable 3 ft. - Black - Micro Center
Get it now! This cable connects your computer to any USB device with Type A female port. Works with development boards that uses USB Type-A female ports including JTAG programming modules. It is USB 3.0/3.
www.microcenter.com
I have one cable for HDMI connected
Other is the power.
3rd is the USB male A to Male A
I noticed, even when the power cable is disconnected the box seems on because USB cable is connected.
Some people said, to press the reset button, then connect usb to PC? I did that too nothing happens.
If I have the wrong img file, it should still at least detect it?
You know that reminds me. It's been a good while since I've done this and my memory ain't what it used to be. disconnect the power also. You don't want the box connected to anything. Then press the reset and then connect the USB.

what else I should do? I am able to run the upgrade.bin file via USB from this website http://www.eweat.com/download/iptv-box-linux/
It does complets the upgrade process. but the software is still there. I tried downloading some other .bin file and tried, to run that as upgrade it failed. so I know that website upgrade.bin is correct.
The ROM is a Disk Image File. I Don't know what to tell you. I'm not going to help you brick the box. Maybe somebody else will chime in because this is above my knowledge level.
