Rooting Trio/Loading CWM

Folks, I just bought this animal (Trio Stealth Pro 7) and obviously trying to flash it with a better stuff asap... Since I'm a newbie I'm trying to do everything very carefully.

I was going to load CWM in the first place but don't know how - the instruction says connect to the PC and the following is required:

- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)

- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded

- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)

Besides the first bullet I have no idea how to do the rest: the OS in this tablet doesn't even have these options and the PC doesn't recognize the tablet so decided not to press any buttons... Also, I installed Novotools 1.0. but was unable to load recovery.img into the root of the "internal sd card". Probably the one I bought is not rooted?

Can anyone recommends what is the best place to start? I'm stuck :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] siuishere:
I did it and the tablets is constantly on and off with only the display, no icons or text, just the blink of the LCD. Anybody has this issue too? Tried to install the LY-F1 firmware using pheanixUSBpro.exe, but it send an error message and then close.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevmodee:
Be warned - some of these tablets lose wifi and no 4.0 ICS versions can get it back so far. Mine is now only working on gingerbread 2.3.4.

Superuser is an app - just install it.

Debugging is turned on in your settings - once you enable that exit from settings to the main tablet desktop screen.

Plug in your usb now and Debugging should be on.

These tablets are rooted already so now you should be able to follow CWR instructions now.

Sounds like maybe the steps in 82 did not complete.

Once you have a. Img file from that link. Open livesuit and select that image file.

make tablet is close to full charge AND blue and/or red power light are off - may need to hold power for 20-30 secs so it really powers off completely

Next, with tablet off hold vol+

insert the usb cable into tablet (already connected to the pc),

quickly press power 10 times

if that worked then livesuit pops up 2 prompts. Say yes to both and it flashes.

Does you flash take about 2 mins and the does the livesuit say it was successful?

I saw this kind of issue the few times I either used an image that just was not right for this tablet or I didn't get the key presses just right and the tablet appeared to die.

I read somewhere that these things are unbrickable so just keep trying the flashing steps until you see it complete with no errors.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] siuishere:
Yes, LiveSuit shows a message at the end. I do not know if its a successful message since its all in chinesse, it has a admiration mark icon. I guess my problem is a bad image. Could you provided an image better suited for this tablet? I flasthed: Post #82 GB Img (tablet reset nothing on screen), and SpeedICS_Seby0.7.1 image (little Android with blue frame stuck on screen, never boots).

I am wondering if I could extract the whole image from another tablet. What do you think? I have another 3 of them.

tri stealth pro a brick, need some help

trio stealth pro 7 is bricked. I did not do a img before bricking it.

Here is what I did:

Installed the recovery: CWM_Recovery_5_ICS.zip

tried to get livesuit 7 to work, but I never could on XP or Win7. Always got bad img error from livesuit.

The CWM recovery came with adb so I used that and did the following ( got all this from links in this thread ):

There is a very good possibility that the recovery is not correctly flashed on you device, mine didn't take the normal method, try this one.

METHOD 2 (Manual, ADB commands):

--------------------------------

1.) turn on tablet and leave it at main homescreen

2.) connect the tablet to the computer with a USB cable

3.) open command prompt, navigate your way to this folder where the CWM files are

(For Vista/Win7: hold Shift > right-click on this folder, choose "Open command window here")

5.) run following commands:

(right-click to copy command & right-click to paste into command prompt)

adb.exe push recovery.img /data/ ( side note: this is the same recovery.img livesuit gave the error on)

adb.exe shell "cat /data/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg; sync"

adb.exe push cm9_nightly_20120721.zip /mnt/sdcard

adb.exe push gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip /mnt/sdcard

adb.exe push lyf1_compatibility_1.2.0_cbw.zip /mnt/sdcard

6.) reboot into recovery... with this command:

adb.exe shell "echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot"

7.) done

Instructions

* Upload zips to MicroSD or internal memory.

* Boot into CWM keeping pressed VOL- (MENU) and POWER for 3 secs, than release POWER and after another sec release VOL- (or use Novo7 tools if it doesn't work for your device)

* Select "wipe data/factory reset"

* Select "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" (or "choose zip from internal sdcard" if your files are into internal memory) and flash, in this order, rom / gapps / compatibility zip

* Now go back, and select "Reboot system now"

HERE is the issue:

All that worked, I did the unzip of the first 2, rebooted and it came up with cm9. Problem was the touch screen didn't work. So I did the steps over again and at the end did the lyf1.zip. Then rebooted.

NOW: I can not do anything. If I boot the system, I nothing but a blank screen. Plug it into windows and it does even try to establish a connection to the USB. So I try the Volume - button with the power button and the USB establishes with VID_1f3a_PID_efe8 driver which is from the livesuit zip. I still cannot get livesuit to recognize the usb. livesuit sees the usb as it give the yellow ! every time I connect in the volume- power button boot mode, but I cannot load anything. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevmodee:
If you cannot get it to boot up you can still Try a flash image like Seby's http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0YANNGHI/SpeedICS_Seby0.7.1.7z_links using livesuit - then you can reinstall CW recovery and try the CM10 again.

First Open livesuit and choose the. Img so it displays in livesuit before buttons and cable.

Now with tablet off, hold vol+ and insert usb and 10 power button presses

Should hear usb attach noise go on, then off, then on again and livesuit pops up 2 popups.

Ok so far, then answer yes on both and flash starts.

If you get the ics one to work you can retry what you did before with CWR and cm9 or cm10

If not try this GB 2.3.4 that has wifi AND sound both working. http://www.mediafire.com/?gd3necyrq3062pd then at least you'll have it mostly working.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

I am not sure how that can be done. I only got the one and just flashed over and over until I finally got gingerbread to work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
I can get livsuit working on my tablet a bit different than the usual method, it may help. I connect a USB cable and with the tablet off I press the reset button, keep pressing it and press the power button till live suit prompts pops up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jdroid_lost:
Thanks for the tip here... I was able to get livesuit to make the double connection sound by using power and volume- to connect in boot mode and then continuing to hold the volume - button and hitting the reset button 10 times ( with a paper clip end ). It gave me the double connect sound but livesuit never gave me any messages and never began putting the image on. I tried on both XP and win7. If I hit the upgrade button on livesuit, I get the yellow ! sign.

I know the livesuit is connect/listening to the tablet because it, if I power off the tablet I get a window send report pop and closes livesuit.

Anything else that I should try?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
You must be doing something a bit quick or wrong and that prevents you from successfully completing your flashing, keep trying both methods, one of them must work. Be patient, I sometimes had to try multiple times to get things working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jdroid_lost:
Maybe I'm missing something on the livesuit.

1. Tablet off, usb disconnected.

2. I get livesuit up and running with Seby's img.

3. I hold the vol - or vol + ( have done both ways and them together at the same time ) connected the usb cable

4. I get the connection sound and see the proper driver displayed in the device manager under usb

Question here: am I in boot mode at this time?

5. I then continue to hold the vol button(s) and hit the reset button 1 time and get the disconnect sound and connect sound. I repeat this several several times, still no response from livesuit.

6. I then turn the tablet off, the pop up window for application crash comes up and I hit close application and livesuit tuns off ( see that in the task manager)

Question here: did I get it in the correct boot mode?

extra info: I also did the hold vol button and hit power button 50 times (in place of hold vol button and hit reset button above) and nothing happens at all. No sound no disconnect reconnect, nothing.

Machine I tested with:

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

livesuit 1.0.9

and

livesuit 1.0.7

also:

Windows XP Home

livesuit 1.0.7
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevmodee:
Exact steps for me : NO RESET button just vol+ and power

1. Tablet off, usb disconnected.

2. I browse to get image everytime I try. Now livesuit is waiting with Seby's img.

3. I hold ONLY vol + and connected the usb cable

4. I get the connection sound(on, off, and on again) and still holding vol+ immediately start pressing power as quick as I can to 10 presses

(I never wait to watch if drivers are correct)

Your Question here: am I in boot mode at this time? Answer : For me at this point Yes.

5. Now I answer the 2 popups and then watch the yellow bar start and the 2 mins and 20 secs (approx) start counting down

It always pauses around 55% then speeds to the finish and pops up the succeded window.

Tablet has either restarted or just shut off.

6. Quickly click OK and EXIT, not Red X to close livesuit as Sometimes if it is left open it tries to flash again and that leaves tablet back to dead and I needed to start from step 1 again.

7. If tablet didn't restart itself hold power until it starts up.

First boot is always very choppy and slow especially on the boot image and the first few screens.

NOTE: I have flashed and reflashed many different roms that have got this tablet stuck in seemingly dead state.

I can always get the above steps to work but I have done it probably 30-40 times but I think I have every detail noted here.

64 Win7 PC with first version 7 but now always version 9 of livesuit.

Good Luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
If the above method didn't work for you, mine is the exact same with the exception of using the reset button instead of the volume button and not the power button and here where you did it wrong, you press and hold the reset button and press and hold the power button and this starts livesuit for me.

I found the problem: it seems that a different Lot of this Trio Stealth 7 has a different motherboard, based on the SoftWinerEvb model, firmware IML74K. That is the about info in the other 3 tablets. Now, I googled for that FW and could not find it. Does anyone know a place to found Android FW?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
Mine had the same information when it first came. These are the software information and not the hardware, they are now changed on my tablet. I also was unable to find any related information online for this software.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] siuishere:
Inded, but based on this information maybe we could find the right clone, isnt it? Anybody knows how to rip the entire img from a working tablet?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevmodee:
You can use root explorer and superuser to access the system folder and zip it. That puts the zip in a folder you can transfer to your pc via usb. Extract it and you can see all the files. Maybe you can see specific hardware details in those files.

Geos,

I'm new to tables, long term developer/support engineer. I bought two of these tables to use as ebook readers and content storage. Out of the box I think they will do what I need but I have them and I want to use them to just learn about tables as well (which means I might try to develop/whatever on them).

So I would like to root this, and I have seen a veriety of directions, what to do, what nots, and I have read a lot of different ways to do things. Some of it's conflicting, some is old. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help on this.

My goals are simple.

* Backup existing firmware/rom/what not

* Install rooted firmware/rom/what not

* Mess around with the system

* Restore existing firmware/rom/what not

Now I know that restoring to factor may not be possible (as I don't know if you can save the existing firmware/rom). Some articles I have read say that if things go back, just restore the factory one, but it doesn't explain how.

Since you have the same model (Mach Trio) I was hoping you can give me some step by step instructions (brief is fine) . You mention installing custom recovery and CM9 based ROM in your original post, but I only see a link to the ROM (probably my misunderstanding of the process).

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to reduce the chance of bricking it by following wrong or outdated instructions.

Missing ADB drivers

I just got one of these and was trying to install CWM Recovery using my PC running Windows 7 64-bit; adb complains that it cannot find a device.

In the Device Manager, the Android Device has an exclamation mark against it indicating that Windows did not find a driver. The ADB Drivers in the CWM Recovery zip file at the top of this thread seem to not be acceptable and I'm wondering if someone can point me to drivers that have worked for them.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] emerging-net.com:
This device comes rooted out of the box, so no need to worry with that.

It's much easier to find information on Allwinner devices in general than on this particular device, so keep that in mind when trying to find information on this online.

Anyway, append "/s/lp4ev9cnp7joq3y/CWM%20Recovery%205%20ICS.zip?dl=1" to the end of dropbox's domain with dl as the subdomain and be sure to remember this page uses a SSL certificate, so start with https. (I don't have enough posts to type in links). Once that is installed you will be able to install, backup, and restore as you would with any android device. If you do not not how to install the recovery image, just do a google search. Many people have already covered this topic, so no need to do it here again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ItbeGary:
Thanks for the link.

I ran into a problem after trying to get the device to work in general (I actually have 2 of them). Before I start tweaking it, I wanted to get some feedback.

I have at home a wireless N network, and at work a wireless N network as well as a verizon wireless aircard. No matter which network I'm connected to I cannot seem to keep a solid connection to either of these two devices. What's also weird is that when data is transmitted I can hear a fair buzzing noise (kind of like the old sound in a car when the radio wasn't grounded properly). My wifi sits 3 feet from me and I'm located 500m from a cell tower (so I get perfect 4g signal most of the time).

I was wondering if others with the device have been experiencing the same or if it's just something that I just don't know about these devices (or tablets in general).

Besides the constant random network drops the devices works well.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
Before you go into any further tweaking for this device, make sure which WIFI adapter you have, it seems that I have a different one from the rest, which gave me no problems with custom ROMs, the rest of the people here are experiencing WIFI problems with custom ROMs and no one was able to get his device back running on ICS.

So if this is the case, you would better stick with the manufacturer's firmware, just get the google app store with the polaroid script, instead of getting stock with a GB ROM.

Hello everyone,

I have a Mach Speed Trio 7C and as others I have the version without WiFi when installing CM9/CM10.

Right now I am running the GB rom that was posted here (thank you all so much!), but it does not seem to be rooted. Can anyone explain how to root it?

Also, to participate in the WiFi discussion, the wifi is managed by the 8192cu module.

Thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Goes1967:
This tablet comes rooted and I very much doubt that any custom ROM will unroot it, I don't have GB on it, maybe someone else would be able to confirm that it is rooted.

What makes you think it is not rooted?!

It is very odd that your lost WIFI when flashing CM9 or 10, as you mentioned, your WIFI chip is supposed to be the same as mine and I am the only one here who has no WIFI problem with those ROMs in addition to AOKP which I am on now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] malmostoso:
Thanks for your reply!

Well, for starters the Superuser app fails complaining that it can't become root, then if I go in the terminal and go "busybox su" it does not become root and complains about suid not being set.

As for the wifi I don't know what to say, I put on CM9 and it did not work.

To be honest I am perfectly happy with GB now, the tablet feels much faster and smoother than with the original firmware. The only thing that annoys me are the stock icons which look really crappy, but I guess I'll have to get over it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevmodee:
I am using the good GB rom and I tried Gingerbreak and it did not work.

After that I have not attempted to root it - there is a script/zip and the superoneclick process described in a number of places but I am not sure about that one being "safe".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ItbeGary:
Goes,

Thanks for the feedback. I've been playing with these things for 2 days now. Overall I like tablet, but as I mentioned in my other post the wireless it self just sucks with the stock OS installed. It seems that I get great connection but as soon as I start downloading any apps/media/whatever, the connection dies after a couple seconds. I'm getting consistent random failures on 2 seperate devices.

I've contacted their customer support regarding the connection, they asked for the lot number/serial number and they said they wanted me to RMA them. I'm wondering if they are using different wifi chips as a fix for something else.

Anyway, hopefully they can get me some working ones in a reasonable amount of time. I'll probably buy some better ones later, but the price was right on these, so I can't complain too much.

Hey guys

I'm getting sick of this tablet constantly rebooting on me. It seems totally random. I've cleaned it up as much as possible but it isn't helping.

Anyway, I'm thinking I should try changing the rom to something else.

My question is how to determine if I have the 8192cu wifi module? If I do, what is the best rom for it? If not, what is the best GB rom for it?

Also, I noticed while using a startup manager that if I disabled "Mobile Data" it would disable wifi. (Sorry if this is obvious, I know very little about Android) I thought I'd mention it in case it is somehow related to these Roms not having Wifi.

Thanks for the advice

To find out install the terminal application and give
