Excellent, glad you managed to get it all done, apologies I never saw your original post so pleased you got it all solved :)

Is it an Astro or Momo9 device you are using as a matter of interest?

All the best :)
[Android General] podge3:
CM9 installed OK but I am getting an error (signature verification failed) when I try to install the Momo9 patch.

The tab will boot to CM9 but I have no touchscreen response.
[Android General] chris5s:
Its an Astro, Sumvision, bought from ebuyer if I remember correctly ...

Having it rooted is giving my hd2 a temporary break .... not for long tho!

I would like to add a menu button to the soft keys, but can't seem to find a way to do it ... any ideas??

Peace

Maybe try downloading the patch again, sounds like a corrupted file?

[Android General] metalgearhathaway:
Sadly, no I don't know of a way, maybe see if its been achieved else, the solution may be universal if you are lucky!
[Android General] podge3:
Thanks for the replies.

My tab is an 8Gb Astro+. It works fine on stock firmware and I have also ran a few scripts which have improved the overall performance a bit.

I think my main problem is that CWM 5 is causing problems on my device. I can flash CWN fine and boot into it. I can also flash the update zips but the tab will not reboot. It just gets to a black screen and hangs. Thankfully I can reflash it with the stock ROM and its fine again.

I get the "signature verification failed" when I use the stock recovery, not in CWM.

I have tried this now with several different CWM5 sources but it just will not work for me :crying:
[Android General] podge3:
stswher unoffending

OK, I got it sorted :victory:

I must have tried CWM a dozen times and it didn't work. I came across this thread (h t t p : / / scrolltabletforum.co.uk/site/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3012&start=20) and I installed both the 4.0.3 img and the 4.0.4 update.

The 4.0.3 img installed a version of CWM that worked on my tab. I'm now running CM10 and my tab is flying :good:.

Sumvision Astro+

I got mine of ebuyer a couple of weeks back now only 70 GBP. It was unresponsive, slow and rotation didn't work, luckily spotted a new firmware dated 11th Sept on the Sumvision site. Applied the update and miles better now, it also shows as Android 4.0.4 now. Video playback on my TV via HDMI is excellent, far better than the little square that my ipad produced. Its a bit slow unless you shut down open apps regularly and battery is more like 3hrs not 10 but its been a better than expected experience so far.

Wondering what CM9 does and if anyone has upgraded the device to Jelly Bean?
[Android General] metalgearhathaway:
This JB rom is way better than the 4.0.4 update, don't forget you can always backup your current rom prior to installing a custom rom, so as long as you know what you are doing the risks are minimal :)

Evening all,

I'm trying to get CM10 on my Sumvision Astro + but running into a slight problem. I have managed to get CWM installed but when I try and install from internal sdcard it says "no files found".

any ideas?

Ta

[Android General] veto101:
Scratch that!

I managed to get it working using an external sd card instead of the internal one.

Had to do it in this order though CM10>momo9 Compatibilty patch>GAPPS.

Tried CM10>GAPPS>momo9 Compatibilty patch but the touchscreen didnt work!

Everything is working fine now!!
[Android General] chris5s:
There's also a small zip file which you can flash in recovery which allows access to zip files on the internal memory. I had to do this to flash zips stored internally.

Peace

hi there,

im new here and a novice to android.

i have followed ur instructions from page 1 and have installed cm9 but when i boot up my touch screen doesnt work,

how can i fix this?
[Android General] chris5s:
Did you flash the correct compatibility.zip after flashing the rom?
[Android General] yoshibear:
yeah i have, well i think i have haha my tablet is the astro+ same as urs chris and i bought from ebuyer also :)

the momo9 comes up with "E: signature verifercation failed"
[Android General] chris5s:
Does it give this error when installing compatibility.zip? Have you tried switching sig. verification off in cwm menu? Otherwise try downloading the file again...

Peace
[Android General] yoshibear:
yeah it give the error when installing the compatibility only.

what is CWM menu? my menu is called 3e
[Android General] chris5s:
CWM=ClockWorkMod, custom recovery menu. Is there not an option in sausagemod to install it (its been so long since I installed it I can't remember exactly where I got it from)

Its worth doing as you get more options when in recovery.

[Android General] mo_roodi:
Hey guys,

OK so I'm a little confused by what's going on and wanted to just clarify a few things (forgive me if I sound a little like a noob!).

I have a Sumvision Cyclone Astro+ 7" tablet and though I love the tablet, the performance on the stock ROM is atrocious. So I really would like to root and get CM9 or even better CM10 working on the thing.

If I'm understanding right here's what I need to do:

1) Download and use sausage mod from http://www.mediafire.com/?i62w0lws6c73gq0 and use option 5!

- This will root the tablet

2) Get the stable CM10 release from here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/38700-rom-cyanogenmod-10-tweaks/

3) Get the MOMO9 compatibility patch from here: http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/Allwinner_A10_Developers/christiantroy/misc/1.2.x/

4) Install CM10 followed by the MOMO9 patch

5) Install gapps downloaded from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796675 (JB version)

And that should be that... Everything should be taken care of and the tablet should work without any problems.

Does this sound about right?

Have I missed anything?

Astro+ > CM10

I was in the process of following those very same steps but my AVG antivirus has decided to quarantine the Sausage mod file from the same link, it was infected with some Win32 Heur virus.

Anyone know where to find a clean Sausagemod? Really need to get this stock rom sorted its lousy.

Cheers
[Android General] proteored:
OK.. I found SausageScript04.110.1 which appears to be virus free. I assume I am supposed to connect the astro+ in USB debug mode but seems windows doesn't install it correctly. I'm wondering if this step is necessary for Astro+ as it appears to be rooted already. If anyone knows?

I can't get CMW from the Play Store, is there another way?

Thanks
[Android General] proteored:
I'm struggling.. when i run SausageMod it doesn't recognise the Astro+

I have tried..

1. connecting USB, device off

2. device off, Vol+ down, connect usb, press power until PC recognises connection, with USB Debugging enabled

3. device on, usb connected

I did notice Andriod wasn't installed properly in Windows XP, so even tried installing the recommended drivers from EvaWhachaNeedAllwinner.7z

One thing i notice now is that as soon as i connect the tab to the pc, it appears to connect.

Previously I used LiveSuite to flash a new factory img and that process has worked fine before. Is there a CM10 img I can just flash before I give up and throw this thing in the bin :rolleyes:
[Android General] chris5s:
My suggestion - forget SausageMod. (Btw avg will report a false positive when scanning the extracted files, no worries).

The Astro+ 7" is already rooted, so download the latest cwm from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1802268, extract the files to the root of your internal sdcard, and install new recovery image using terminal emulator.

Boot into recovery and install cm9/10 as required.

A word of caution - the latest firmware from the Sumvision website, November 2012, creates a 500mb system partition. Great! However it changes the partition layout and makes installation of custom roms impossible unless you change the corresponding partitions. The original firmware for ICS, from around May 2012, creates a smaller system partition, 250mb, but can easily be customised.

Peace
[Android General] proteored:
Thanks Chris. I'm pretty sure that SausageMod never ran but now I can't even bootup the device. Even when the power is inserted nothing on the display but back of the unit is hotting up. I'm not sure if I have a hardware fault, it has always been a little useless on startup but now acts dead. Windows still recognises it with a beep when connected via USB but feels like its stuck in debug mode, I'll try flashing the earlier ROM from Sept and follow your instructions before I throw it in the washing machine on a high spin cycle.

Many thanks
[Android General] proteored:
Lots of progress. I used Livesuite to format and flash back to the August img with the original rotation fix. This restored the device to a working state. I connected the USB, while the device was on and ran SausageMod option 5 and 13, finally it was able to find the device and ran fine.

After reboot, I found Novotools did another reboot and then went into recovery mode. I used CWM and completed the install of CM10 (8th Dec12 build), then installed Momo compatibility zip and GAPPS, then wiped cache and user data. All three installed without problems, however the first boot which i know is long appears to be never ending with the wheel spinning already 45mins+ I've tried a few builds the last option will be to use the CM10 Lite from Oct, come so far but not quite there :(

Other info to share I used DF in terminal and system partition shows as 503M Used 310M Free 193M, looks like i need to find a way to reduce this formatting and applying the early img didn't do it. The May img isn't available on the sumvision website anymore as the link now takes you the the latest firmware. Would I have the same issues with CM9? Can I use a partition manager to sort out the resizing?

Thanks
[Android General] chris5s:
I've failed to install cm9 or 10 using partitioning from latest firmware. The original stock ICS firmware seems to be the only one that worms for me. Can get it http://www.sumvision.com.cn/productinfo/cyclonetablet/cyclonetablet_astro_supportastro.asp here. Its the second download link from the bottom.

There may be a way to use the new 500mb firmware partition with cm9/10, haven't figured it out tho, lol. Looking at vold.fstab, sdcard is on nandj, so don't know what changes were made to system. I did get cm9 to install but just went into a bootloop. Will try adb debugging when I get some spare time.

Peace
[Android General] proteored:
Thanks Chris.. I had tried only the one above dated 25 May thought it should be old enough :) CM9 didn't work for me either..

OK I've now I''ve gone back to that March 4.0 ICS build but I can't install CWM using SausageMod scripts, I don't know how to connect and install CWM on the device, so reverted back to the rotation fix ROM the partitions still shows as 503mb, The funny thing is this ROM is now actually working better than the latest 2 from Sumvision. For now will stick to this build until I work out how to install CWM or change the partition size.

Many thanks
[Android General] chris5s:
To install cwm manually,you need the latest cwm - see couple of posts above - and terminal emulator app from market.

Extract the three files from the cwm zip to the root of the sdcard.

Open terminal emulator and type:

su (enter)

sh install-recovery.sh (enter)

sh reboot-recovery.sh (enter)

Device will reboot into clockworkmod :D

Peace
[Android General] proteored:
Thanks Chris.. now i've discovered terminal on the device :) I will give it a go! I know how I failed last time.. I was trying to run a terminal session on the PC connecting via USB to the tab, maybe if i had a serial or telnet connection that might have worked better.

Cheers man.

Got it working, just a few small issues

Thanks for the great instuctions first of all. I have a sumvision astro+ 7 and i put CM10 from troy using the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1821398

and i used the lite gapps as suggested and the hardware specific momo9 patch all through cwm from the link Chris gave earlier. I have google play working, the touchscreen works, the rom installed ok, wifi works, screen rotation works. (Basically all the things i read other people may have issues with work) but:

-the home button (both softkey and physical) do nothing except highlight and make a sound.

-i can't get the thing to lock and require a pattern code to access the device (this was a suggested fix to the home button issue)

and two other things i don't care about i noticed

-the calculator force closes

-the stock browser just seems to minimise or vanish as soon as it opens with no error reported.

Does anyone else have these problems? Any solutions?

Thanks
[Android General] peppergreg:
maybe gapps is the problem

I installed the nightly build from troy of cm 10 and the home buttons worked correctly.

I thought it was fixed, but the problem came back when i tried to use any of the lite gapps versions and when i use a full gapps version i don't get any gapps at all, the installs reportedly complete correctly and the they are for the correct version.

Still investigating.
[Android General] chris5s:
Do you have enough space on your /system partition for everything? Maybe need to trim the rom to get it all in?

Peace
[Android General] peppergreg:
done!

i think you are right, i did see the warning about the partition size, but i expected to get an error if there wasn't enough space. Used the light build CM10 and light build gapps from

slatedroid. com/ topic/ 39506-rom-cyanogenmod-10-lite

it works! Although i had to go two times round, the second time i did the cm and mono flash together and then did the gapps seperately.

thanks for everyones help!

[Android General] Aaron_M:
I had some of the same problems as other posters, I couldn't get the usb driver to install so I couldn't use sausage mod, which meant MOMO9 and gapps came back verification failed. So no touch screen etc, so I flashed it back to the Sumvision ICS image.

I managed to get it working a different way though, Update CWM to 6.0.1.2 a10, reboot to recovery, choose fix permissions, install CM10 Shaun2029 version for 4.1.2, install MOMO9 patch, Install Gapps, fully working on 4.1.2 now everything tested so far working...

Hope that helps others stuck with Sausage mod etc

Oh and thanks to previous posters that lead me to all the bits and pieces so far and people that created the images and patches.
[Android General] hackinjack:
Arghhh!

I've got this problem also. I made a mishtake and forgot to put CWM on there before installing a rom. Now all the roms I've downloaded, (except cm9 with no touchscreen working), 10 etc. all give the E:signature verification failed error. Now I can't enable USB debugging since I don't have an input device. I also have the small partition sizes in case it matters.

Is there a way to recover? I can write stuff to the external SD card, but don't seem to be able to talk to the device over USB with adb. Can I fudge a signature in a CWM package sufficient to get it installed perhaps?

TiA
[Android General] hackinjack:
In case it helps anyone else, I got the touchscreen working by:

- downloading cwm_recovery_6.0.1.2_a10.zip

- unzipping it on my linux box into /tmp/astro

- editing install-recovery sh changing the /sdcard/recovery.img paths to /mnt/extsd/recovery.img

- attaching a USB mouse and keyboard via an logitec unifying receiver

- opening terminal on the droid

- running these commands:​

cd /mnt/extsd
scp hj@192.168.1.55:/tmp/astro/. # change this to suit
su
cd /mnt/extsd
sh install-recovery.sh
sh reboot-recovery.sh

This gave me a working CWM recovery and I have now installed the unsigned momo-compatibility package, though I seem to have the same gapps issues noted by previous posters over the partition sizes - no play store etc. so I guess I need to do some more fiddling.

I have an astro+ as well and trying to figure out trying to get this installed. I'm fairly new to android as i've always had htc windows or iphones.

For those that cant get sausagemod to pick up astro+ try these ADB drivers http://d-h.st/wGj. I tried loads of different drivers before finding these.

Whats confusing is which files people are downloading and installing, i have been using MOMO9 1.2.0 specific driver with cm10_a10_20121011.zip mentioned in earlier post and gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip.

With the above combination I seem to be stuck at the CyanogenMod (rotating circle) logo when you first turn the tablet on, does anyone with success of doing this know roughly how long it takes for that to go and boot? mines been there for about 10 mins, I assume its stuck.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
[Android General] gog1209:
Well I have made some progress, I have managed to install the lite version which shows as 4.1.1 and Nexus 7, is that right?

Sumvision Astro+ Touchscreen Bricked

Hi folks I have had this tab for a while now but have become increasingly frustrated by slow responses etc. Having updated a Hannspree a while back I though I'd take the plunge and update this. Started off at the Sumvison site where they offered a Beta (clue in the name) upgrade which I applied. This resulted in the unit booting to a white screen. (Since found that I think this update is for the 9.7" unit as the same file appears there). So I reverted to a stock image and bingo it is all back, except it is not, I have lost touchscreen functionality.

Since then I have tried loads of different firmwares for simalar breeds of beast and various compatibility patches but not joy :crying:

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance
[Android General] hackinjack:
You need to install the momo compatibility and gapps zip files, but to do this you will need to plug in an external USB keyboard and / or mouse.

I successfully modded one for a friend with cm9 and accompanying gapps a few months back. Download link was somewhere on slatedroid. If you can't find it come back to me and I'll see if I can dig it up. Made it much more responsive. For CM10 you need to resize the partitions for most of these devices, which is an additional step, and why I stayed with cm9.

Search slatedroid.com for the following topic...

how-to-install-gapps-on-pretty-much-any-rooted-device

Hope that helps.
[Android General] garym999:
hackinjack, thanks for the quick response. I've been adding the the momo compatibility via CWM or "touch_fix_momo9" bat files via ADB but neither work. I have established the touchscreen chipset is an FT5406.

For the moment I have not been bothering with GAPPs as I have not got to that level of functionality. Is that sound thinking?

To compound the issue I can not attach an external mouse as I do not have an OTG cable that fits a mini usb so that is on order from fleabay. Once I have that I can poke around the filesystem more.
[Android General] hackinjack:
Then I guess that the momo compat zip you have is not the right one for the stock rom you wrote on it. I think your best course of action is to either track down a compatibility package which is actually (sic) compatible with that stock rom, or depending on the size of the partitions you have, go for a cm9 or 10 rom.
