m3-chip not right need help

I'm having the same problem I have tried 5 different drivers from 5 different folders I have tried every windows I have tried every button combinations and no luck. this post was made over a year ago so I'm thinking for the new nextbook premium 8 se that I got yesterday there is new software or firmware or drivers. inside of it. any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong chip

Okay, so I ran an app called "Droid X-Ray" and it's reporting a CPU of "AMLOGIC MESON3 8726M SKT SH" on my N8Pse that I just got on 11/23/12. It indeed appears that there has been a change on the newer devices.

So..

I'm guessing Big Lots had these for a reason, NO ONE WANTS EM. I think I'm gonna return mine and see what cyber Monday has to offer me. Unless you had any luck finding a successful root on this POS.
[Android General] redman2770:
yes, got this at biglots too
[Android General] midnite48161:
yep

Got mine at biglots too. I'm thinking we got the refurbished units that added new software in them to fix something
[Android General] ardy:
I'm having a hell of a time getting drivers for Windows 7 installed. Can someone point me in the direction to the drivers and possibly driver install instructions? .

I have tried with and without USB debugging turned on. In device manager I see M3-chip with USB debugging on. The only thing I can figure is I have the wrong drivers.

I have a Nextbook Premium 8 SE.

TIA
[Android General] midnite48161:
i give up lol

There is no drivers for this i have looked forusa 2 days lol even on other tablets this is a problem. If your just looking just to get google market just download mobil1 and blackmart alpha with those two it will be better then google play and you can fix the netflix with the update on nextbookusa .
[Android General] midnite48161:
this dont work for 4.0.4

I just got off the phone with nextbook and the system 4.0.4 is new and has bugs in it. so everybody they got the tablets Black Friday or if you look on the back and it says September and down they are all 4.0.4 . also the Netflix update on the site does not work either they're working on a update for it right now. they do not have a time when it will be released. the drivers will also not work

install amazon app store

I bought 3 of these tablets sold by big lots. I installed the Netflix black rotation mod 1.81 and it plays netflix fine. I installed amazon app store and I am able to install all their apps. The only thing about the amazon app is that when you turn off the tablet it stops working next time you open it. I found a workaround. if you go into settings,apps, then press force stop and clear data ba turning off tablet, It will work once rebooted all you have to do is sign on again.
[Android General] tread_water:
Very black friday :)

So Nextbook is saying there are bugs OTHER than the netflix application they have posted for download?

Anyone have any ideas on being able to root this thing?? I've been trying all sorts of stuff with no luck. It seems like we've got until Jan 15th to get this thing working right as that's the cut off date for big lots holiday returns. ;) lol

I see there is another thread on this issue here at XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990415

Nextbook Next8p12

It would be pretty awesome if someone could work some magic with the Next8P12. It uses an AML processor instead of Rockchip and adb doesn't have root. I've been gathering and posting information here. I hope someone finds use for it and can help out as I'm not really that talented past information gathering.

[Update]

Since several people are getting confused thinking the Next8p12 is the Next8SE or other Nextbook I have created an independent thread here to help/educate/recruit assistance.

Having the same problem like a lot of the others. :eek:

Working on rooting AMLogic M3 devices...

People on another forum are working on this root as we speak. They have a successful root method if you have a 3g dongle modem (located somewhere midpoint in the thread). Other than that I am just trying to get everyone working on this root method together!

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3029-Nexbook-AMlogic-root-WORK!/page22

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

the black inverted netflix v 1.8.1 works fine on this tablet! It's a little glitchy when fast forwarding or rewinding, but no problems otherwise. Uninstall the other one and install this http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1546053 .Also, amazon appstore works on this tablet, but does not display after a restart. This can be solved by clearing the appstore data and re-logging in. Apps>Amazon Appstore>Clear Data

Also, maybe we don't need to root to get the google play store... But then again, I am not a developer. I found this site http://gunnersbarn.wordpress.com/201...ook-premium-7/

I followed the instructions with the gapps supplied on the site, then with the ics gapps downloaded from the cyanogen site, and I was able to get the play store on the nextbook, but cannot login, google services framework says that there is no network connection. I tried different apk combinations from each gapps package. Consistently googlebackuptransport.apk would not install. I have a suspicion that if we find the correct version of these apk's, then we may be able to get google play without root.

Thanks for working on this guys, I cannot wait until we find a root method or other method, to get google play without a 3g dongle.

Force Close starting Camera App

Yes, the camera no-longer works for me either. Additionally, when I go into "Applications", the camera app shown only dead options. Meaning -- I can't clear its cash, I can't uninstall it, I can't clear it's data or it's defaults. It's VERY dead.

This is a huge problem and I can't understand why this is the only post in this thread that I see on that subject. Mine is NOT a Skype problem. It is definitely base-root camera.

I definitely need to get it fixed. Can ANYONE steer us?

Thanks!

Hello, I am responding to your answer on the thread for *** [HOW TO] Root Nextbook8 Premium (and install market app) [UPDATED 1-17-12 ***.

Do you still have the downloaded files? because I downloaded it and also downloaded the original on the same page and it had everything but the DRIVERS FOLDER in the main folder. Do you still have the drivers? It would be very helpful, or know of someone who does?

Thanks Sully:D

[Android General] Toodp:
Confused by your missing step

Seems you are missing a step

Where is this "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder to install the driver? It is not in the file you had us download.

You did not say to download the driver or where to get it nor can we access the netbooks folders when it is off so where do we get the driver?

At&t has the original atrix lapdock for $50 ! Can the connectors be modded to allow the bionic to work on this or will it not work with the webtop os on the lapdock?

I just ordered one. If there's no way to mod it I'm sure you can unload it on craigslist or ebay.

Found this thread over in the Razr forums, someone got the Atrix lapdock working with their Razr so I'm hoping it does work with our Bionics.

Ya I read on that Photon thread that one guy has successfully modded the ports for the bionic and it works. Sweet deal !
[Motorola Droid Bionic] barrmulio:
I got one too. Although i'm not sure about the spacing, the main difference seems to be that the ports will be upside down for the bionic. Pop open a couple of screws (start on post 6 of the photon thread) and hopefully all we need to do is flip them around. A little trimming of the plastic around the connectors may be needed

[Motorola Droid Bionic] wseyller:
I would like to see pix too. I ordered one yesterday. Can't wait. I assume the terminals could be just turned around and maybe some cutting to make the phone fit in the cradle.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Does the cradle need to be modded? If so, is it just at the openings for the ports? I'd be willing to do that, but not much more.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] barrmulio:
did you just walk in and get it for $50? because it's $99 online now for pricematching...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] alexmishchuk:
Walk in ATT store Monday morning just to check, they have one in stock, price ring up $299 I told them it's $50 online, they pull up website, override price I walk away with lapdock. To make it work with BIONIC you have to flip terminals around, when you turning terminals you will have to trim opening (self explained) .Also you have to trim cradle on the right side for the phone to sit straight. Total time 10 min Max.

Can you take some pics?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] csshih:
got mine modded. here are some quick pics. too lazy to do good ones ;)

webdock.

back, flipped out.

extended battery/case piece removed

on the side there's a little black adhesive sticker covering a screw. remove that and the screw on both sides.

like so.

popped open.

there is a metal piece holding the connectors in place. remove it.

note the rubber piece in between connectors.

the connectors come right out. I used a knife and trimmed the outside plastic so I could flip it.

I found the extended battery cover doesn't play well. I had to sand down the part where it actually docks.

and here we go!

I sanded the right side of the dock down, as the connectors didn't seat deeply enough.

that's all!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] joelmic:
Great pictures! Can you take one of the finished outside of the dock?

To anyone still interested I purchased a lap dock for the ATRIX and spent about $20 on a set of male to female micro USB and micro HDMI cords about 6 inches long on amazon.

Only problem was clearance on the lap dock ports but if you remove the top piece of plastic magically there is room :)

Just bumping this thread as i just received and am modding my dock, ran into a problem - the bionic I'm using on this atrix lapdock is connected with the wires pulled from the housing, the hdmi output is activating the webtop software but the mouse and keyboard are not showing up (the mouse pad light is on and responds to the double tap on the pad to toggle)

Any suggestions? I've restarted the phone with the usb connected and hdmi disconnected, have not had the chance to try an aux mouse or keyboard yet

Had anyone had an issue where the usb/keyboard and mouse aren't withheld
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
My bionic is touchy about the Micro USB port - it will not work if the plug is in too far as well as too shallow. Try moving the plug in and out a very small amount and then rechecking your connection. I flipped the connectors in an Atrix Lapdock, and I'll have the keyboard drop out because the phone has been shifted by a small amount.

If that does not work, you may have pulled the snap connector loose inside the base unit - check there by pushing down hard and see if your finger can wiggle the connector.

If the media scanner runs, it should be mounted and appear at:

I assume you are trying a USB stick that's formatted as FAT32. If you are connecting a hard drive, you may find that you have to use an external power supply for the hard disk drive.

Well I have cwm, but when I get into it, its green lettering...not red.

Only reason I ask is because just about everywhere I see, they say get into red.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
When in cwm, choose to install zip from SD card and go all the way to bottom and select "update.zip" and if it doesn't reboot, select reboot now and it should boot into Red CWM. That might do it i think

I will only want to flash a custom kernel to get root, then back to stock because the rom I will be running is based on one of the newer leaks, and I want video.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Well you need to have a kernel with voodoo enabled like Entropy's or you can't get red cwm. The stock leaks HAVE to have a stock kernel for video to work however. Oh, and yes you can. You can do that or through SGS Kernel Flasher on the market. What do you need red for anyway?
