Do you know how to remove the USB cover completely to fit in a new one? As it is attached to the phone with a plastic tubular like string.

How did you update to 4.0.4 and root it?

I looked on the Chinese forums and people are saying updating it will brick your device so I'm afraid of updating it

any ideas on how to update it without bricking it?

I also have this tablet, bought it on Sunday. I updated the software to the 1026 the otherday, update went as planed. It was only the 1011 (or something like that) that was bricking their tablets.

Tablet seems ok to appart from 2 big problems 1st is the wifi is really weak on mine, i need to use a mini usb to ethernet adapter to get online reliably.

2nd problem is I dont seem to be able to download anything from the play maket, I keep getting 101 download errors.

I have read that clearing the market cache, data and from google services framework and logging out from accounts on the tablet and restarting and hard reseting should clear the problem but it dosent.

Anyone else having google play problems or is it just me :confused:

The tablet seems to be recognised by google play as its in my list of devices along with my ZTE blade which still has the ability to download apps.

Thanks for any help.

This tablet is also sold as "iToos i8". On their forum it was said 4.1 is in beta stage but not stable yet. It's not expected to be released this year (remember chinese new year begins in february).

But some custom ROM would be nice. Btw. does anybody else here have problems that the E8HD won't wake up after standby and just stay with black screen? I have to force it to shut down by pressing the powerswitch for about 10 seconds and hear some noise from speaker, then it will reboot fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrux75:
If you have 4.0.4 ROM the simplest way is to use the attched 870s2-root.zip file (it is for Mediacom 870S2 which is a rebranded Gadmei):

1. Copy 870s2-root.zip on the root of your SD card (DO NOT extract, just copy)

2. Insert SD in your tablet then boot up by pressing Volume UP + power buttons to enter recovery

3. Wait until the recovery menu appear, then using Volume-Up and Volume-Down buttons to scroll the menu and power to enter, select "install patch from SD card" or something like that

4. You will see files list on SD card, again using volume and power buttons, select 870s2-root.zip file

5. Patch will be applied in few seconds

6. Now select "reboot" item.

Now your tablet is rooted but you need super user tool to take advantage of that.

Go to Play Store and search for "Superuser" or "SuperSu" or other tools like them, install it and you'll have a fully rooted gear.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darko150:
Thank You very much. Instructions encouraged me, so I rooted with "hewuqiku.zip" by the same system. Now is rooted, no problem, everything works well. I can install app that require root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakerpr:
First post so be gentle.

My Gedmei E8-hd was a bit of an impulse purchase, and it would appear from what I have researched that this may have been a mistake.

My main issue is not being able to maintain a stable wifi connection, which is obviously a major requirement for any tablet. Although, I have read devices being bricked with certain hardware/firmware combinations I have given both the latest official and the rooted version above a go. My problem is I get to the menu, choose update from sd card option, choose the file, but shortly after the update fails to run and Mr Android falls over.

Has anybody had this issue or know a reason why this would occur. In any event, would the firmware make any difference to the wifi issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kram81:
The battery icon on my E8hd has become permanently stuck at 100%, is there a way to refresh it or clear the battery stats?

Also I see there is a newer 1128 ROM out (im on 1026). The method of instalation seems a bit strange to me. What is step 1 for?

升级方法：

（1）首先用一张TF卡来制作启动卡。启动卡制作方式 Link removed

（2）再将下载的固件包减压，将减压后的文件放到TF卡的根目录，把卡插入你的平板电脑。

（3）关掉平板（MID）后，先按住音量“+”键或者“-”键不放手，再长按“电源键”开机，等到出现“GADMEI"LOGO时，再放开POWER键大概几秒后再放开“+”键或者“-”键，系统将自动进入升级模式，升级完成后会自动重启。

Google translation

Upgrade method:

(1) First, to make a boot with a TF card card. Start card making: link removed

(2) and then download the firmware package decompression after decompression of files into the root directory of the TF card, insert the card into your Tablet PC.

(3) turn off the tablet (MID), first press and hold the volume "+" key or the "-" key is not to let go, and then long press the power button to boot, until "GADMEI" LOGO appears, then release the POWER button probably a few seconds and then release the "+" key or the "-" key, the system will automatically enter the upgrade mode will automatically reboot after the upgrade is complete.

Thanks

Mark.

I would agree that the wifi isnt that good, its not that bad either. If you are using WEP encryption then you stand no chance of getting a good wifi signal. If you have the choice then go with a WPA2psk encryption, it works so much better with the E8.

Im not 100% sure about the firmware affecting the wifi but I would say it does (correct me if im wrong), on my ZTE blade the wifi was quite bad with the stock Orange rom but its really good with just about any developers ROM.

As for the E8 i dont know if either of the updated roms from Gadmei have any wifi fixes/improvements included in them.

I did try to decompress the zip file but will try again and see if it works this time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kram81:
I downloaded that File in step 1 and read the word doc in there, as far as I can tell it seems to be formating the sd card as FAT32, whats the point of this as my card is allready FAT32, or is this step doing something else?

It seems a really strange thing to be doing when to install the last 1026 or whatever you just had to copy the rom zip to the sdcard like I do with my ZTE balde and install from there.

Has anyone installed 1128? how did you do it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrux75:
I installed ROM 1128 and it was a very simple job:

1. Download ROM file from the link i reported in previous post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35722947&postcount=12

2. Extract files to SD; no folder, following files should be present on SD root: aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml, g11refE8-ota-eng.bestidear.zip, patch_gadmei_e8t3cn.zip, u-boot.bin, uImage, uImage_recovery.

3. Reboot in recovery mode and installation will go on automatically

After installation completed, you should root your device again; you can do it with simple procedure I reported here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35936767&postcount=14

In an attempt to flash the CWM Recovery 6, I brick, the tablet was lit with black screen viewing, so I put the original files of SD GADMEI 1128 and was revived.:D

Enabling USB host Gadmei E8-HD

I just went through this and having been unable to find anything in English about how to do this, I thought I would post this so people can find it on the amazing interwebs.

USB host is not enabled by default on the Gadmei, so certain apps like DSLR Dashboard, Helicon Remote, others I am sure, etc, won't work. It's pretty simple to fix.

First, root your tablet- . Find and download the file root_by_hewuqiku.zip, which is on a couple of Chinese sharing sites. Copy this file to your SD card.

Shut down your tablet, then boot into recovery mode by restarting your tablet by pressing power and the volume + button at the same time. The recovery menu will load, and you choose apply update from SD Card, choosing the root_by_hewugiku.zip file. Restart your tablet.

In order to enable the USB host, you will need to write files to /system/etc/permissions. I am sure there are other ways of doing this, but what worked fine for me was installing SuperSU and Root Browser Lite. Using Root Browser lite, go to system/etc/permissions. (using SuperSU and Root Browser Lite, I didn't need to change permissions to make this directory writable; depending on what apps you use, you may need to do this)

Put an extra line in "tablet_core_hardware_xml". The extra line is " <featurename="android.hardware.usb.host" />

Then make a new file "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" (I simply copied my android.hardward.usb.accessory.xml file and renamed it)

Put the following line in the android.hardware.usb.host.xml file :

<permissions>

<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host" />

<permissions>

Restart the tablet.

Once all that is done, you should be able to plug in USB accessories such as cameras and they will be recognized by Android.

Did you by any chance come across a way to expand the stock roms app drawer view to more than the 4x6 rows/columns? Changing DPI only reduces the screen size occupied by the drawer, but does not expand the # of icons. I'd like to get at least 5x8 somehow.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtr33:
Stock rom, stock launcher (Mediacom 4.0.4). Installing Apex has the desired result, but since changing DPI settings worked to increase the app drawer on 'modded stock' on my A7HD 4.0.4 I wondered why it didn't here. I haven't had time tom play around with Christians's roms but I will. Thanks for the input.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LexGr:
I don't think it is possible to change it in the stock launcher. If you want to change it, you can better use another launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtr33:
Probably I will. Odd though, that on the one 4.0.4 ROM changing DPI 'increases' the app drawer space and on the other one it remains the same only shirinking to the center of the screen.
