Thanks khronosrx8

Hi khronosrx8,

You are right we should update it to make it easier for everyone else. Could you please download the files required and a short instruction set and I will modify the install program again to suit. I thank you for uploading your backup. Today I copied it to linux and modified it to make the install easier for all moving forward, now there is an install for your tablet as well as a separate set of install files for the Prolink TA8 Asian version, which will make things easier for all moving forward. Actually now the last 3. bat file is not required, it will just mean ADB has access to the root folder. Running 3. will ensure this mode to mod the tablet by malicious means is closed.

I thank you for your help and lets make it easier for others moving forward.

Cheers TheHamster

Hi ZPEB,

Congratulations, I am pleased you have made it through. With the knowledge of yourself and khronosrx8 we are able to make it easier for all. I think now there are only 4 Duke tablets rooted, 2 in Asia and 2 in Europe, but the process is certainly easier as we move forward. Enjoy your tablet now, you have full control.

Cheers Hamish

PS: Thankyou for pressing Thanks

Hamish,

Here are the latest ADB files
[General Questions and Answers] khronosrx8:
It feels good to be the first!!! :D

So now we need a custom recovery menu like Clockworkmod and a custom firmware like ICS (Android 4)!!!

Which custom recovery is compatible with out tablet? how can I test and find out???
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
I cant see any reason why clockworkmod will not work, I have used Titanium Backup, but just to backup settings to allow me to reset the tablet back to stock with all apps / settings etc.

Worst case is that you will have to reset the tablet back to stock, and this is pretty easy. So far I have had you do a backup of the tablet, but we have only played with the boot.img (part-7.img), so part 3 was to put the old boot back as per stock settings for default.prop (this is the file I modified under linux). If you are going to play then download the latest install files and run step 1 again as it now uses your part-7 but modded.

Where will I find the custom boot image or video in order to change it?

My Duke has an ugly OEM image when it boots...
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
You are now in the domain of Android rather than specific to the Duke. If you search for bootanimation you will find many. Unfortunately most are for Gingerbreas on devices with smaller number of pixels. I searched for boot animation Xoom as these are all Honeycomb. You can also find lots of instruction on creating boot animations on XDA as well.

Once you have the download file use ES File Explorer in root mode (go into settings) to copy it to the correct spot. It is very easy I have a nice green Android Man with a green swirl around him
[General Questions and Answers] khronosrx8:
You are right! :rolleyes:

Well then, I think we must create a DUKE and TA8 section!!!

[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi khronosrx8,

I have been travelling so sorry for the delay in reply. What do you mean by flash a recovery image? If you mean recovery.img then there is no need to do this unless you have it modified for such like CWM. I have had a bit of a look last week and to mod it is not so easy and it must be done in Linux. I also dont have linux. but run it off a USB stick to mod the boot.img to allow root. As far as ROMs I have had a good look and none are applicable as far as I can see for our tablet. It requires a Duke tablet owner with the skills to mod to make it faster etc? I have not tried any of the normal root tools for moding, but they may or may not work.

The actual workings of flashing a recovery image is the same as 1- root... which flashes the boot.img It just sends the recovery to a different partition (boot is 7) I have to look at my work PC to find the other partition.

Yes, this Πλ ai sio logo is really awful !
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
The actual boot logo is only on for a second or so, and not so easy to change. However it is easy to add boot animation, I change mine regularly and this makes the startup of the tablet from scratch very nice. There are loads ready for download and also tools to make your own. Search for boot animation xoom as this has the similar specs and they work well. You will then need ES File Explorer (with root access granted) to copy the boot animation file across to the tablet.

And now its time, to see if this tablet is compatible with . .. . ICS :D

Hi there, i have two questions. Can i root my ekoore duke with the files you uploaded if i buyed my tablet in south america (Venezuela)?

My tablet firmware is DUKE_FW_0723

And, is there any possibilities that a "WI-FI" Duke could catch 3g? Because mine has the SIM slot.

Sent from my Ekoore Duke w/ Android Honeycomb 3.2
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi GMath, if it is the same tablet then yes, follow the instructions and make sure you do the backup section. Use the TA8 files, I don't think you will have any trouble but if you do you have your backup. Upload part7 and I'll mod it on Linux for you.

You won't get GSM as we have not seen this tablet with it working yet

Hi, i have rooted my Tablet Duke using the root files in this posts. So many thinks for that.

But now i have a problem. My tablet is 3G version (Bought in Venezuela), and after root now there is no option to even manage gsm/apn connections, where did it go?
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Limker. Don't worry. Would you please upload Part-7 from your backup and I'll mod it for your unit. The files used for the root are based on my tablet which is wifi, we can use your part 7 for a new GSM set. I'll have a look at it tomorrow Singapore time if you upload today.

TheHamster i have a major problem...

I flashed partition 7 by mistake and now my Duke is stuck to the very first screen.

I cannot enter nvflash mode because I cannot turn it off. When I press reset button it just loops to the first screen...

Please please please help me!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Khronos, Dont stress, there is another way (from memory as it has been a while since I have done this) , you will need two pins, one for the recovery, press this first, then press the reset one as well for one second and then release both it will enter the recovery mode where you can reflash using "3 reflash original boot" from my files.

I have also added the partition information you asked for int he attached text file.
[General Questions and Answers] khronosrx8:
Thank you very much for your help!

I also found another way...

I left the tablet on battery until it turned off.

Then i connected the usb cable, pushed the recovery button and connected the power cable. And it worked!

Also please tell me which one of the partitions is the recovery partition? Is it partition 6 SOS?

I want to flash a custom recovery but I can't...
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Kronos, yes SOS = Recovery partition. I am not sure if any custom recovery will work, or whether you need to modify the one you have in Linux. Either way would you please let me know how you go.

Also if you are using DUKE_FW_07312 then I see there is an update to DUKE_FW_08312 available form the manufacturer.
[General Questions and Answers] limker:
There you go mate: i would like very much you to explain me how and what to modify this .img files.:)
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Limker,

To use put the boot_hiveGSM.img and bootmod_hiveGSM into the Root folder and the other three into the Root Duke Folder and run as required. in your case just run the third one.

The boot_hiveGSM is identical to your part 7 - not modified. The mod version has one file edited default.prop which allos ADB to work. So the mod boot img allows adb which allows superuser to be sent to the tablet. The last step is to put the original part 7 back (boot_hiveGSM) so that the menus etc are back to normal.

It is not easy to mod the boot and recovery images as you ned to use linux. Google it for more information, but please let me know if you get your menus back and the tab is fixed

good luck

[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Kronos,

To be honest as the partition table is gone I am not sure how to do a quick fix to bring it back. I suspect that the only difference between your tablet and mine (both wifi) is the initial starting language, mine being Chinese and yours ?? Greek ??. You have a couple of options, firstly take the tablet back to the shop and ask for repair, or do what I would try.

I have uploaded a folder with the files required to fully reset the tablet back to default. I would use this, put the tablet into Recovery mode and run NVflash, if it fails then try "nvflash try second". Hopefully one of these should reset the tablet back to default - but in Mandarin. The next step is to change language to your choice. This is easy - open settings, 4th from the bottom is Language and input and then the top option is Select Language.

Also if you do this, the ADB is enabled already (so my original step one is done). I had to do this a few weeks ago on my tablet and had some issues with the reset button after, let me know if this is the case as it was something to do with my computer I think when doing the restore. I have another copy of the restore files on my server at home, we can try this if needed.

After everything is reset and in language you can try to put yours back. But only do part 5,6,8,9,10,11. I have had mixed results with 2,3,4, so would avoid these. Or maybe not even bother!

Good luck

TheHamster you are the MAN!

Thanx for your help!

i tried restoring with your files and your isntructions but I had the same error about bootloader... Then I downloaded the latest tegra toolbox from nvidia ind installed it and used the nvflash from there! Everything went smoothly and i had my Duke back to life speaking chinese of course as you said!!!! That was not a problem. I changed the language to greek and everything was almost perfect!!! But you understand that I wanted my tab to be as new! I restored my original backup again back to my tab and did a factory reset. So my Duke was back to STOCK GREEK UNROOTED firmware. That was not a prob because we now have our way on rooting our tab! But I wanted the latest firmware and so I updated. Now the only help I want from you is to patch my Duke files for ADB support so I can follow the instructions again! (We must find tools for windows...).

Also I of course will try the 3G files from our friend to find out if we can enable it!!! I am very curious!!!
[General Questions and Answers] TheHamster:
Hi Kronos, Firstly I ahve tried the 3G and it screwed up my tablet to the same state as yours and infact has not fully recovered. I have also restored fully and still have the menus for the GSM in the settings, I dont know how to get rid of them.

To Root, firstly do a backup then just use the step 1 as you did before then step 2 and for step 3 put back part 7 from your new backup. This will turn off adb, but if you want it back on again you can modify it on the tablet by editing default.prop on the root folder to turn it back on with "ES file explorer" once it is rooted.

Does your version now say the latest version? and when you say you put the original backup, exactly what did you do as I tried this and it failed miserably so am interested to get mine back properly as well. I have been playing for the last few hours and would like to get my menu's back to no gsm stuff.

Note als there is no windows tools for mod the boot.ini, it is to do with Android files structures that will not work in Windows files systems.
[General Questions and Answers] khronosrx8:
I tried to fully restore but I had two different problems.

The first is that I get error restoring partitions 2 and 3... What are these partitions? How did you fully restore your Duke?

Second when I restore partition 4 i get this:

Nvflash started
[resume mode]
sending file: part-4.img

and it stays there.

What is partition 4?

If my tablet is stuck in recovery mode, how do I get out of it? If I connect it to my PC, it detects the APX mode and uses the NVIDIA RECOVERY USB MODE driver.

If I press the reset button in the back, it just reenters into RECOVERY MODE. What would recommend?

From your email it looks like you still have a working tablet, jut with no gsm. If it is rooted and you want the gsm back then run the HIVEGSM3 reset original boot non ADB. This came from a Hive GSM and should put it all back. Let me know if this does not work and we will have to try some alternates, ie putting several of the other backup files back to your tablet. We need to be careful though as it can screw up the tablet even more if you are not careful
