how about flashing through USB? did you check the USB cable? or the USB port of the PC?

Reset... like wipe data, and restore factory default?

I do this so many times on my tablet everytime I want to install clean firmware on my tablet, when sometimes I uninstall the wrong root application like the phone.apk it will bug the tablet.

Every time I factory reset my tablet it works fine.

Your tablet is very peculiar, your problem first was easy to solve because you can still install some firmware.

do you have a 2nd tablet?

if you do, try to transfer the battery to the other tablet.

because sometimes our tablet will not able to boot normally when it is low battery.

maybe there is something wrong with your battery, or power board, or maybe it fry the motherboard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr0bz:
I've alredy tried your method but the pc is not recognising a new device when i'm powering on the tablet with power+menu. So i assume the flash tool'll not find the connection. The cable is ok, i've tested it already with my printer, see the pic:))) I've already tried the method to flash through the sd card: nothing happend also.

With reset i mean the small button on the bottom side. The new situation that i have with my tablet came after i pressed this reset button. I agree with you the the first state could be easily solved through flashing.

Too bad i don't have another tablet to exchange the battery. I could buy one, but i think the problem is not the battery or the power supply but my dumb decision to try out the reset button:(

Any ideas?

Regards
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr0bz:
And to be completely clear: powering on the tablet with power+menu brings no difference. I don't get the 'Communicating with PC...' message...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huzo:
simmilar problem here...after remove the otg link i did and now i cant turn it on back no more...battery is charged,and it is plugged into wall socket....how to unbrick it??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr0bz:
Hi, does yours have the same symptoms like mine?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
I don't have any problem with the Full Reset .

About your picture is that a FireWire cable?

What's your OS?

Check your USB Cable and your USB port. Most people here are able to detect their tablet.

Is that a Flytouch2/Superpad Tablet?

Some people are not really reading the description.

If you can still Power+Menu then you are still able to flash it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huzo:
i do have superpad!! and i cant turn it on by pressing power+menu!when i press power the screen flashes,but not the light,only the matrix panel flashes and thats it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr0bz:
Hi, do we really mean the same reset? There is a small reset button on the bottom side of your tablet. That's what i meaning.

The picture that i was having before reset was Infotmic with 0.6.1.5 (number) on the bottom right. It is a gift and i actually hadn't the opportunity to use the tablet at all:( The first time i enabled it, it stuck on the Infotmic logo:(

It's a normal usb B cable. I've build the AA cable from 2 AB cables and tested it with my printer, so the cable and the port should also work with the tablet, right? The wiring is definitely properly.

If we proceed from another state. If my tablet weren't connected through usb with pc should it show me the message 'Connecting with pc...' when i would press power+menu to power it on?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
About the Reset, I thought the reset from factory default, so it was the reset button. Did you press it while it was flashing/Buning?

There might be wrong with the button, maybe it was stuck to reset that's why its not powering. Let me know if you can feel the reset button is pressing. Like there is a feed back / click sound if you press the reset.

Now it's clear, the USB cable you use is from printer, I thought its for firewire (between the 2 male usb) because it has similarity on the tip.

The Connecting with pc... will come up when you press Power+Menu.

1. The tablet should be off, and open the IUW.

2. Plug the USB Cable to PC.

3. Plug the USB Cable to the Tablet, top port.

4. Press Power+Menu

5. Then It will boot the Tablet "Connecting with PC..."

If no success then, it must have been brick gift already. :(

If that is brand new there might be a chance that it can be replaced.

i already gave up on mine...it is in garbage...well spent 200$ on a chinese piece of crap!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nullandvoid:
Damn

Flashing worked like a charm, BUT...

Did someone experience the following problem? The tablet went to standby. I reactived it using the power button. Screen flickered, went white and the OS froze. I restartet it and now the brightness is 50% less than normal, although it is set to full in the settings section. Are there any known stories of damaged screens after update to froyo?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nullandvoid:
Sorry for the dbl post. Just realized that there is a dark spot slowly growing in the lower right corner of the screen. :eek: It's hot when you touch it. I think this is it. The only question that remains: Did this happen because of the update?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joshgabel:
quick question

So everything worked like a dream. after multiple failed attempts using the usb method i chopped some cords and i now have tablet bliss! thank you so much!

now a question:

I have been utilizing applanet (thanks for this as well :)

however in this rom one of the partitions on the tablet is listed as "sdcard".

the directories "sdcard1" and "sdcard2" correspond to the SD slots on the side of the tablet where i have my new 32gb card. i am trying to make the apps install on the "sdcard1" slot but don't know how. my reason to want to do this is i am trying to load an application that uses stored maps for navigation (over 2gb) but it keeps trying to install and save the maps in the "sdcard" directory

$5 paypal to whoever finds a solution for me.

thanks in advance and thanks a ton for all the work you guys have done!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fandtm666:
I have a similar issue , my navigation apps want to load maps to the sd card but it tries to install them on the units "sdcard"

this is also the same for aldiko where it looks for the books in the import folder on the sdcard but does not find them

on my 8 gig card because its labelled as SDCARD1.

so i would also love a fix for this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
No, some people here got normal result.

Because all of us has DIFFERENT SOURCE of tablets, it's manufacturers faults or the shipping and handling.

We all know that this product is made in china, so we can expect some factory defects.

The hot part is where the LED back light that is over powered, try to lower the brightness.

IF you think this update made some problem with your tablet, you can flash back to your old firmware 3245.

Yes after updating the froyo the download path is now in the tablet internal memory.

Some people are able to map the drive to the SDcard.

You need to decompile the image file in linux system, and apply some modification.

I forgot what thread or forum It was.

::EDIT::

Solution on this issue.

Flash it with UIW only the ramdisk, or you can flash all again with this new Ramdisk.

First post is updated.

Kudos on tutorial

Somthing to keep the folks happy with while i port over clockwork recovery (try) and start the era of custom firmware for this tablet. I will be working on one as soon as im successful on clockwork which im close.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
We are counting on you. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fandtm666:
SmaRkieS thanks heaps your a legend, loaded the ramdisc file on its own and found my books straight away.

Update works perfectly, except for Market

Hi,

First of all thank you very very much for the detailed instructions, as it was my first Flytouch it helped a lot.

The update works like a charm, except that it shows only 'free' apps and also I'm missing some apps. I have searched Google and XDA but I haven't found a solution, yet. I have tried clearing the cache, reinstalling Market APK, Market Enabler.

I can image other people experience the same issue, maybe have a solution, and might be helped by a reply.

Thank you very much in advance!

For the record, I'm running uboot V 0.6.1.2(587):

- Camera functions perfectly

- Sound is working in all installed apps

- Very quick and responsive

- 3G I haven't yet been able to test will do shortly

Regards,

André
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
Update works perfectly, except for Market

3G modem, Huawei E1752, wordt out of the box. I only had to create and APN and reboot!

Thank you, and many respect to the creator/distributor :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joshgabel:
Andre, i believe applanet will take care of your app woes... google "applanet"

cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
Sure, but this is a Market replacement. It is possible to use alternative markets, but why use these when there is the Google Market.

My guess is that there needs to be somekind of footprint change so it will be enabled, I just don't know how to achieve this. I can get the 'country' code installed with Market Enabler, except that it doesn't let me change it.

Hopefully some expert here at XDA is able to help me, and others, out with this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joshgabel:
not trying to give you a hard time but have you looked at applanet? i see no reason to ever return to regular android market.

Either way i am going out on a limb here but it is my understanding that certain apps are locked to certain hardware requirements (foot print) that are checked when market login is initiated. it would be cool to have the ability to "spoof" a EVO for instance for purposes of having the same app availability.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
Hi Josh,

No problem. I'm going to give Applanet a try, as it's one of the best Market alternatives that I have seen.

I hope there will be solution so that the 'original' footprint can be put in place, as I'm hoping this will be the issue for not displaying all apps in the store.

As I'm pretty new to this, it could also be that I should change the uboot to the 0.6.1.5 version. I'm not sure if this is the problem, hopefully someone can give me some advice.

Thanx

André
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
Got it thank you very much! :)

It can help a lot to continue update this page.

Glad to hear you made it! enjoy!

yes applanet can help, I also use infotm market some of the games there are rip-off from the original, but some of the rip-off are much more better than the original. It's all because those games mostly for our tablets.

Yes some issue on compatibility on our tablet.

I'll look what I can do to fix this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tnizzel33:
I went into applications and management then cleared the cache for market + forced stopped it. Rebooted and the market worked fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
Ramdisk changes

Worked like a charm..

but I should have backed up a couple of directories to sdcard before doing it.. lol... never mind.. just got to download them and get them in order again.. as the programs are looking for them..

Stuck on equalizer screen

I need a bit of advice. I was looking to update to the new 2.2 ROM. previously I have updated my FL2 to 3245 no problem at all. I have got original cable USB to USB. I have followed the instruction fully apart from doing a factory reset at start (I somehow missed it at that point and didn't know how to do it either) I have uploaded the old ROM, U-boot etc so my FL2 was showing the number 0.6.1.2 (587) in the corner and the old ROM started fine. Then I progressed to the new ROM with the updated RAMDISK. Again it went well, asked me to unplug the cable a restart. But then it got stuck on equalizer screen :(

I have then found that I forgot to do factory reset so I did clear cache and did factory reset and loaded new rom via cable again but the same result. Stuck on equalizer screen.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
Strange question perhaps: Did the Market at first show only Free apps and after clearing cache shows Free and Paid apps?

Pretty interesting that this works for most of the people :confused: Got a delivery of FT2's today, so tonight I'm going to do some upgrades to see what happens with them. I'll post the results :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
I haven't tried yet, but wouldn't this result in the SDCard to become useless? I can see the advantages..

In general, does anyone have experience with replacing the internal SDCard? As they are delivered with 2Gb, I could imagine exchanging it with 8 or 16Gb. The 'removable' SDCard then becomes a nice to have or for temporary use. (?!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
It's ok the equalizer screen is another froyo, but flash it again using the Main Froyo Firmware, that is located on the first post.

And do the :: Alternative Solution :: flash it using MicroSD, but replace the ramdisk from the Main Firmware with the new Ramdisk Fix, copy it to the same directory. If you having a problem I will explain it on detail.

Same here, It's really strange, but I understand since all of us we have different source of tablet. That's why Im still using the applanet, or surf the net and browse manually in Android Market and install from their site, our tablet is detected as Info Pad 10.

noooooo hehehe, before 3245 and later firmwares the default path of the downloaded files, screenshots, cam captured pictures, data and etc. are stored in MicroSD 1, after updating to froyo 2.2 the files are now stored in the tablet, it is annoying to manually copy the files to microSD if you like to copy those files to PC.

The internal memory of the tablet is only 2Gb and there is no chance to upgrade it, unlike the flytouch 3 where there is an internal microSD slot on the board.

And this is what's inside of my tablet.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-flytouch-ii/14255-inside-my-superpad.html

no way to change the Internal Memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majo_scigo:
Well I downloaded only files from your post 1 and followed exactly steps 1 to 20. I didn't have any errors. I do not understand what do you mean by "is another froyo" I have used the flash10.1-android2.2 firmware and ramdisk v4 from the other file. What screen should I see? I doesn't go to ANDROID in the middle.

Could the factory reset made all the difference?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mulderict:
A bit strange, but there are several models with same casing but different manufacturer. Suppliers are available in all kinds and colors. :D

I meant that it will not be used, so available space is wasted. But it makes sense to update so it is redirected to SD1. I'll try it out tonight.

I haven't opened a this model (yet), so I can't tell how the inside looks. I have other models that I have opened and repaired which have MicroSD card, like the aPAD for instance. I could imagine exchanging the memory card to get more storage space inside :)

Flashing works fine but...

First of all: Great work, you've done SmarKies! Thanks a lot for this awsome Tutorial.

I managed flashing my Flytouch 2 without any problems, now having the nice Froyo UI on my device.

But here's the issue: I can't access my Calendar... I've allready tried to delete and recreate my account, to sync the calendar without being logged in in any other app etc...

No change, I can't reach my Cal. If I'm synced to Google Mail (by filling in the needed data under settings->accounts&sync->create account) and launch Cal App, I get the error message "You have no calendars!" when trying to create new date.

If I'm not connected to Google with any other app and trying to exchange Cal data by filling in email and password, I get the error message "Couldn't access server".

My that problem caused by the flashing? Or am I just to stupid to get it right? I already searched for some solution proposals at least 2 hours, found nothing working...

So please, if you don't mind, help me.

Thanks a lot once again for your tutorial.

When you power on your tablet, and you can see a version 0.6.1.2(587)

You can try the Alternative Solution, burn from microSD.

non chance to replace it hehehehe.

Did you try the solution that I posted on the first page?

try installing this files.

or follow the guide from the expert _barsuk_
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majo_scigo:
Yes yes it is showing now 0.6.1.2(587) After the first half of the upgrade it even started with the 2852 version. But then the other update didn't work.

I will try the SD update when I get back home. Should I do factory reset first? Why would it make a difference to install it via a SD card. I always thought the direct link to flash something is better? (I am just being curious)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
Smarkies,

What games have you pulled from infomarket that you think are worth while?

I am not really a gammer but have been using the pad when I go out for a few drinks..

I live in China.. so it handy to use to chat with the girls in bars.. lol..

I got it setup with translate programs and Angry birds, Shark, Pool..

Now that I can actually use it and trust that it is not going to lock up on me..

So I actually can spend a few enjoyable hours having a few beers..

Getting some smiles from the girls and generally have more fun then just going down there

And being another dumb Lawai that can't speak the language :-)

I think another project I am going to get in to soon on it.. is pull out the speakers and try to install some better ones..

Can't be that hard..I just got to get back to some of the old threads and see the ones on pulling it apart..

Then work out what to do.. I mean speakers are as cheap as chips here.. I just got to head down to the Cyber area in town and can buy anything.. so its going to be a case working out how to modifi what's inside and replace with some that can actually push out some sound.. as the ones that come with it as crap..

Anyone else had a go at this yet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmaRkieS:
As I remember their ripoff of megajump is better compared to the original, because it is very fast loading and very smooth.

I cant write the specific tittle of the InfoMarket because its Chinese, but you can see the icon, and the more star rating.

If I can see attractive icon and more star rating 4~5 star. I download it and tried it on my pad, If I dont like it I erase it hehehe.

About the moding of Speaker, I'm thinking that also. I'm also a moder in my place.

I'm planning to replace the speaker with the china speaker, the speaker from the china phone because it is louder compared to branded phone.

The lowest ohm you can find with more watts will produce more sound.

And placing the speaker to the front, just want to cut an oval shape, and cover it with black speaker cloth.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
Yes, If I can get two going with similar output as my Evo.. then it would be pumping out some sounds..

And as there are plenty of phone shops around here that do repairs..

I am sure I can find something that will fit..

Will keep you posted on it..

Really this is one of the design faults they should address..

Slim the pad down a little..

Throw the speakers to the front as that's where you want the sounds to be coming at you..

Add that extra memory and they have something that would be a redhot competitor to

Most of the name pads selling for 2-3x the price..

Calendar still not working... Rooting bug?

So here we are again... Calendar is still not working.

I followed instructions for z4rooting, but it seems, it didn't worked out. In my Terminal Emu I have no permissions to change the file regulations.

There's a million different roms outta there... Starts getting irritating. My Cam and Wifi works, only f**king calendar won't. And I even don't want to use the Google function, just wanting to have a personal cal on my tablet.

So maybe you can reup a functioning sys image for that issue...

Or if there's anything I can do...

Thanks a lot, you're a great bunch of guys.

hi SmaRkieS, thanks for the awesome walkthrough! and im new to this board so forgive my noobness :o

i was following your steps and all was working well until i started up my unit w/ froyo installed. it booted up to the slide to open screen but i kept getting an error w/ a process acore (forgot to write it down). so i tried to downgrade back to v3245 and restart the process again from scratch. now everytime i try to boot i see the linux penguin in the top left but it hangs on the android screen w/ the blinking cursor. is there anyway to fix this? is there anyway to wipe this clean and start from scratch again? any help would be most welcome.

thanks and keep up the good work!

Any one had this issue?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nunoslv:
I've been fighting with the attempt to open Microsoft Office documents from the pen drive but no software recognises the files in the pen drive, quickoffice pro, documents to go, office 2010, only open documents in the SD slots, not from the pen drives.

For me this is a big issue because I work a lot from the pad and the USB pen is the best way to keep crossing docs from the PC to the pad.

Accept any ideas for this.
