Got the file thanx, but it won't intall?

Maybe I should root?

Is there an easy option to root my tab?

Any howtos for idiots out there?

flashing recovery.zip is ok but don't flash lk.rom please.

Did you install GoogleContactsSyncAgent.apk first? I think you need that before Contacts.apk will install. To be honest, I had to use a replacement (GO Contacts) because I could never get the original Contacts.apk to work even though it was syncing correctly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
That's correct. You cannot flash the lk.rom file by using anything on the device itself. The only way to change lk.rom is if you used fwdn tool.

Sorry to labour the point, I just don't want to end up with a non-functioning touchscreen - the way I will be installing the recovery.zip containing clockworkmod is by going to Settings -> About phone -> System updates -> Install system update -> From SD card

Is that the right way? My tablet doesn't appear to have any other kind of stock recovery installed.

Thanks again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
I haven't tried that way. I booted into recovery by holding the back button while turning on.

You don't need to to to root the tablet, just make /system rw by this command:

You have to boot into recovery by holding back (big button on the front) while powering up.

If it goes to fastboot, then something is broken and you'll need to do fdwn.

I have tried that as well. I just get the ! with he Driod guy. No files to select. I'm wondering if its because my micro sd card is named tflash and my 4gb internal memory is named sdcard? Is there a video or how to guide. All I really want is super user to work.

Video calling, is it possible? Sort of... I' ve been experimenting with any app I could find. Tango works but for some reason the mike is muted? Also the volume is quite low?

Can't seem to find any settings for the microphone...

Fring installed but haven't had a chance to test it.

Dose any one know if its possible to use a usb hub, so more than on device can be used? If so can u recommend one I can buy?

I wanted to download text app, whatsapp installed but I can't use it as it wants to send a text to the phone (tablet). I put in the phone number of the sim card I'm using in the 3g dongle but no luck.

Tried a few other apps which were able to send text messages but not receive. Huawei modem firmware that originally came with my 3 mobile dongle had a user interface that allowed me to send and receive text from the modem while I was using it with my laptop. So it should be possible as this tablet is using the dongle connection via 3g... any ideas?

Still using the stock rom as cannot connect this to a pc yet. Tried to install GingerBreakv1.00.apk but it wouldn't or could not read it. Is there another version I should try? Thought it might be a simple way to root this tablet. Frustrating when u can't plug it into a computer.

Any one used ROMmanger? Oh yeah need to root it first, any ideas for rooting from an .apk etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doortodoorsalesman:
Gingerbreak 1.2 didn't work just ran for over 1/2 hr.

There isn't any solution yet, send your tablet back to the seller.

I don't understand why you don't use adb to edit build.prop, it's prety simple.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb pull /system/build.prop

Hi,

Concerning TCC8803 tablets this (and the Kagora one) are the only threads that I could find on xda. This is why I would like to ask you a question here even though I know that the main-topic is Root/Clockwork. I hope you excuse that I write here, where the TCC8803 owners are present.

Actually I bought a TCC8803 for one use only: to have a cheap tablet that has USB OTG and USB Host - as it is written on the description. Actually I have a hardware-device that acts similarly to a USB-Keyboard and thats the device I wanted to attach to it. But sadly it doesnt work (it makes "beep" on activation but it cannot send the string to the TCC8803 and blocks). I tried a normal USB-Keyboard and a USB-stick and both worked. (Before I have tried already several smartphones/tablets and could only run my device on a Nokia N8 and windows-tablets (although not WM7).

So it would be really great if someone here has a great idea how to make this USB thingi happen. Am I hearing a loud scream "rooooot it***!" ?

Well the problem is that rooting it was not the intended way I thought using it as the guaranty falls away. But is there maybe a clever way how to avoid rooting and somehow activate full usb-support? Maybe there is a command through the abd that I can send? Or do I have to wait for an update to Android 2.3.4?

Thanks in advance and sorry for all those that are irritated by this off-topic post,

Emile
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
I'm not sure but I guess you already solve your problem, so I just correct this one...

do not flash zip file with fastboot. zip is for installing from recovery. you need to unzip and use recovery.img for fastboot.

anyway, all you need to do 1st is making backup before anything e.g. rooting/flash something.

EDIT:

don't forget reading the documents around download link before download too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metroland:
sure, unzip and flash recovery 8k .img

now work properly and i can root and install new rom.

thanks guy.....now my tab is a new tab ;)

kiss all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
sorry, I can't answer your question.

in general, "has USB OTG/HOST" doesn't mean "can use any USB device".

rooting doesn't change anything itself. rooting is needed only for apps which need rooting.

How to dump stock recovery

download dump-recovery-signed.zip as /sdcard/update.zip and install it from stock recovery.

stock recovery image will be dumped as /sdcard/dumped_recovery.img and /proc/mtd will be copied as /sdcard/dumped_proc_mtd.txt.

Got this far but cannot find the stock images? They are not on the sd card?

Done a search with ES explorer but can't find anything? Does this dump-recovery work on the tc8803 or do I need a specific one? Don't want to attempt the next step until I know I have the original files backed up.

Also downloaded pdanet on the tablet and installed it, had to copy the pdanet.exe from the sd card to the computer (its now installed on the computer). When I connect the tablet to the computer it shows up in the My Computer as hard drive F and hard drive G but when I click on them it says insert disc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenz:
Hm I haven´t tried to get acces to my phone trough the hard drive after installing pdanet. But did it install the right usb software for your tablet? and be sure ´usb-debug´ on the tablet is activated.

Parastie,

did you flash lk.rom from EM73 capacitive rom (4K/8K) on your resistive EM73?

I'm thinking to make custom lk.rom and if it's compatible, it's more easy :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
if you can get temporary root with some rooting app(I'm not sure which one can be used on EM73 stock rom, please confirm before doing anything), you can make backup of stock recovery. but there is some EM73 rom image, you may not need to make backup of stock recovery...

to check 4K or 8K, please tell me your /proc/mtd. it can be copied by file explorer like app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
I originally flashed what I believe from a capacitive, and then my device would not turn on. I then used one that I think was bundled with the CM7 you first posted for me to try. That one worked.

thank you!

lk.rom in my CM7 zip is taken from DFP7002A8 (resistive EM73) ROM, so capacitive lk.rom doesn't work on resistive... hmm. I see.

about rooting, my dump.zip doesn't work on some(doortodoorsalesman's) EM73, so clockworkmod is not flashed on his EM73 yet. if he install clockworkmod now, then he lost stock recovery... but I think stock recovery in tablet is not important, it should be ok to install clockworkmod :)
