I have been trying to root this tablet for a very long time. I am running windows 8.1 I think the fact that these drivers are for windows 7 that may be the problem? Are there any windows 8 drivers for this dang tablet anywhere?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
The drivers should work. Windows Vista, 7, and 8, are really all in the family of v6.x (Windows 8.1 is really v6.3). Just make sure you get the correct ones for 32 bit or 64 bit.

If you go into Device Manager, does it show the driver is loaded and working when you have the tablet plugged in?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevenj05:
Go here http://sixcolumns.com/t/how-to-disable-and-bypass-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8/151/ and do the temp version to install the drivers your having trouble with. Windows 8 is a little different. I rooted my trio with windows 8

Black Screen Update!!!

After just saying eff-it and try to get something positive done ive got the tablet 95% working again!:laugh: As i mentioned in my initial post, i had come across a rom that would provide us video (the colors were all over the place) and touch functionality (touch the top of the screen the bottom responds), i have managed to get the colors right and PART of the touchscreen working. Using the Uberizer from Techknow to pull the script.bin and edit it with paramaters from the second rom i came across that worked(the touchscreen didnt work but the video was perfect) i got the video right. I found a guide that i used to edit the x axis in the (cpt para) part of the script.bin that lined up part of the touch, but about half way on the screen, the back,home,recent apps, vol, soft keys dont work as they should, which affects the rest of the screen on that side. The menu button,clock side of the screen works perfect. If someone is willing to take a crack at getting the touchscreen right, we'll have a working rom/fix for the 9.7c model of this tablet. Getting late, so i'll be on for a lil while if anyone wants the links for the roms and partial screen fix.:good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevenj05:
Your a genius!!! I hope someone picks this up and finishes it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crmoody76:
Not really a genius, just got tired of getting the run around(especially on Techknow, Satcomranger comes off as an ASS when he replies to some post:angel:) as simple as it was, i didnt want to truly screw up my tablet fiddling about without at least getting pointed in the right direction. But 2morrow i'll post up what i did to get the video right and everything else.:good:

got my screen running but looks like crap with this firmware and orientation is reversed http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=509660&uk=2284526730

rooted got cwm installed...used adb command to start it cause couldnt get buttons to do it...then installed this rom and screen still looks same but functions perfect with touch and orientation
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WoppTorr:
goto the play store and downloaded the app called Screen Adjuster Free, jgb441 posted that and my screen looked great after tweeking the settings, is there any other way to post that link for downloading the firmware you got, it doesn't seem to be downloadable now :p

trio stealth pro 9.7

ok guys here we go I'm kind of the noobat this not all the way but a little bit I rooted my trio stealth 9.7 a couple days ago and being a person that likes to pick with little things i started deleting stuff and everything was working fine until I deleted I think it was Google services framework and all of a sudden none of the apps would work and so I turned it off to reboot it and once I turned it off it will come back on show the little Android guy then the trio logo and then a black screen and it stays like that what should I do I would really like to get it fixedI used the route post and XDA for rooting the trio and while I was rooting it it said that it made a backup I was wondering if there was any way that I could find that back up and maybe push it onto the system in the tabletot how I would do that
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bunnyroll:
Anyone have an updated link?

I had rooted my Trio Pro 9.7 previously but it took over an hour because I could not find the drivers. My old one broke so they sent me a new one and once again I am having difficulties because the link (drivers_g59 in original post) does not work and I can not find the drivers anywhere. I am really not sure how I found them last time honestly... If someone could send me the correct drivers or link me to them that would be great. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eureca:
Thanks again bardell3600. You are right. As long as I can easily root it and install the apps I want like google play. Then thats pretty much all I need as of now. Pretty much just plan to run apps and videos on it anyways. Maybe some cbr comics and see how it looks on the screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bardell3600:
No. I bought this tablet as a Christmas gift for my adult son. I personally use a Window/Yuandao N90 Dual-Core II (don’t let the brand name “Window” fool you. It is just an anglicazation of Yuandao.

I ordered a case with a keyboard to try out but for my N90II and it is Bluetooth.

There is a case that will work. You can buy the same case from multiple sources under several brand names:

Look in Amazon for B007X28US2 (Universal-Protective-Leather-Keyboard-Adapters)

I did not like this one because 1) it doesn’t provide much protection to the tablet if dropped and 2) I have seen it as low as $10 and wonder about the keyboard quality.

Do this, though – download Swiftkey 3 Tablet. It is free. It is a smart (very smart) keyboard. Your default US Keyboard doesn’t get erased. You can always go back to it. Or even switch back and forth between the two. As part of the setup process it asks for your email address and password. It will then goes and reads the outgoing mails you have sent and learns from them. It then continues to learn over time.

The Android type virtual keyboard has a reputation as hard to type on. Indeed it can be difficult. My typo’s increase fourfold using the virtual keyboard (either one.) but that is where Swiftkey come in. It learns your typos and corrects them on the fly. So what I am saying is that with the proper app, you may not want a physical keyboard.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ManImCool:
On all my Android phone devices I've used Swype. Never really liked Swiftkey. Very familiar with it and how it works though. On a tablet's much bigger surface however, I may end up not liking Swype as much. I'll definitely give Swiftkey a try again.

Mach Speed Trio Pro 9.7

I received mine from the Newegg Cyber Monday sale.

I can confirm:

1. Root works as outlined - very nice.

2. Google Play works as outlined

3. Resolution is 1024x768 (triomp3 website has it as 800x600, and the box shows 1204x768 - Newegg had it when purchased as 1280x1024!, but just checked and Newegg now has it correctly listed).

4. Netflix worked without any trouble - just installed from Google Play and watched a full movie.

5. Speedy, thin, responsive.

6. Not ONE crash yet (I know, right?) I've installed half a dozen apps - music, camera app, office suite, cloud print, etc.

7. Angry Birds Star Wars works (why wouldn't it?)

8. HDMI out works like a charm

9. It has 2 usb interfaces - one for pc connectivity, and one for external connectivity labeled "USB HOST". I worked for about 2 minutes thinking I had trouble when my pc wouldn't see the tablet and then I realized I had the usb plugged into host port. Doh!

Now the bad news:

The Mach Speed website is horrid, not a single download, recovery app, system image, whatever, is listed. The information on their own website is incorrect. Just the day before yesterday (11-29-12) did they even have a product page for the 9.7 inch tablet on their website. If it breaks my guess is I'm on my own.

I'll bet this and many other similarly spec'd tablets will be on special again for the price I paid (129.00) around Christmas this year.

Can anyone confirm this is the same device as the Ployer MOMO11 Bird? I believe it may be, and if so could use their image if something goes wrong.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
Its pretty similar, but not identical. For example, the Trio's speakers are on its side and the Bird's speakers are on its back. If that detail is different, who knows that else was slightly changed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ManImCool:
In the slickdeals forums, someone stepped up and trying flashing CWM and MOMO11 Bird firmware, without success.

http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=55559816&postcount=137
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bardell3600:
Thanks, ManImCo. Very useful information. But let me clarify for those new to this world of Android rooting, ADB and ClockworkMod. What the post ManImCool tells you is only one thing and it is not, unfortunately, as much as you would think about the Trio Stealth 9.7's relationship to the MOMO11. What it tells you is that the generic ClockworkMod Recovery code for A10's will brick this tablet. He does indicate that he was able to get into the Trio Stealth again using the MOMO11 Bird firmware but that the screen didn't work. That should not really be a surprise. We know that this tablet is different than the MOMO11 Bird (speakers placed differently, less NAND memory, etc.) The fact that it has a different screen and requires different drivers is almost to be expected. The Trio list for $169. The MOMO11 lists for $295.

One more piece of background for the less initiated. ClockworkMod Recovery's are custom made for each tablet. Even a version 1 and version 2 of the same tablet require different ClockworkMod Recovery's. Trying a generic ClockworkMod Recovery is a VERY risky decision. The best thing to do is sit back and wait for those with the urge and $$'s to develop a ClockworkMod Recovery specific to this tablet.

So it seems it is best to classify the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 as a "MOMO11 Knock-Off". It seems likely that it is manufactured by Ployer for Mach Speed Technologies but that is not 100% certain (numerous piece-parts are identical or nearly so.)

Mach Speed Trio Website Updated

I am pleased to report that Mach Speed Trio website has been updated and now includes the 9.7 inch tablet.

The Trio Stealth 9.7 webpage is http://www.triomp3.com/tablets/trio-stealth-pro-9-7/ The page includes a link to download the Manual and a set of ten (10) FAQ Q&A.

There is also a support video (very basic) http://www.triomp3.com/howtovids/ covering the Android operating System.

There is also a webpage the purports to explain Downloading Apps but I would not even bother to go look at it. Instead install Google's Plat Store as covered previously in this thread http://www.xtremetab.com/help/

What is interesting about the URL directly above is the implied relationship between ICE Technologies and Mach Speed Technologies
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatGoSplat:
Hahah, I was "that guy".

Yes, pretty much all A10 firmware will actually boot in the Trio. I tried to find a way to restore my dd backups, but that would require a firmware with the exact same partition layout which was pretty much NONE out there. However, A10 firmware for any and every tablet would seem to boot, even A10 firmware for the MK802 would boot. However, the screen wouldn't work in any of them because the Trio has a TN screen and the majority of these tablets have an IPS screen. By replacing the bootloader partition in various ROMs which I think has the kernel in it, I was able to get video in almost every ROM, I assume because the video drivers are in the kernel and loaded very early on. However, touch, Wifi, and rotation sensor drivers are loaded by the OS itself so while touch would work on the Smart Pad 907c ROM and most of the Eken A90 ROMs, it didn't work in many others. Touch didn't even work with the Momo11 Bird firmware, so it's less similar to the Bird than the other tablets.

The generic CWM was designed for tablets with nanda through nandi. I saw later on that tablets with a nandj needed a different CWM, which this tablet maps /sdcard to nandj. Just a guess, but perhaps it may have worked if I used a CWM compiled to support nandj. However, I don't plan to try this again until Trio releases the stock firmware since there is NO way back if anything goes wrong!

Well, I've since fixed the tablet - by exchanging it for another one. It actually worked out for the better, the original one had a black spec near the middle of the screen under the glass that was extremely annoying. I was on the fence about exchanging it for that reason alone.

Just as an FYI, there is a very easy way to flash the google apps...

http://goo.im/gapps

Download the one for CM9:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Save it to the SDcard. I don't have an external SD in mine yet, so I just saved it to the root of the SD.

Go into the Settings menu, then "Backup & reset".

Click on "Recovery Mode"

The device should reboot into recovery mode.

The menu is initially hidden. Press the hardware key next to the volume keys (labeled with an arrow) to show the menu.

The volume keys navigate, and the power button is "Select".

Choose "Apply update from external storage" and then choose the google apps zip that you downloaded.

Boom, working version of the latest Google Play and supporting files :)

I would assume that someone could create a zip with SuperSU and the su executable in it and root it that way.

If that were to happen, rooting could take place without the need for a USB cable at all. Download and flash via recovery.

By the way, I would advise against using Market apps to reboot into recovery... or even adb reboot recovery at this point if you have data on there you want to keep. I used QuickBoot to attempt to reboot into recovery (before I found the menu option) and yes, it did reboot the device, but back into the OS.. and wiped my data partition. Have no clue if it's a fluke or whatever, but just an FYI.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ManImCool:
What recovery does it boot into when you do this? The only recovery I have experience with is ClockWorkMod but we've established that we don't have a custom CWM for this device yet, right? You're saying there is some sort of stock recovery pre-installed on this tablet? And finally, is there any benefit to installing the google apps from the gapps program, vs installing from Google Play?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatGoSplat:
It has a 3e Recovery.

You can get into it with tablet off pressing and holding VOL DOWN and press POWER for a few seconds, then release POWER while continuing to press VOL DOWN. You'll see the Android guy for a short time and can release the button once you see 3e Recovery show up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merwin:
I can confirm that it will flash the Google Apps zip that I linked to.

Looks like Mach Speed (a US company) has a phone number to contact them. Maybe if we all call requesting kernel source and open source components to be posted, we could turn this relatively mediocre performing device into something pretty good.

There are custom builds of Android for other Allwinner based devices extremely similar to this one... what we're missing is the source for this specific device.

I do kernel development for the Galaxy Blaze 4G (tweaks, tuning, I/O schedulers, CPU Governors, etc). Got the Blaze to perform a huge amount quicker just by putting in a decent I/O scheduler and CPU governor. I'd be more than happy to work on this one if/when the source is available.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ManImCool:
Ah. The ol' 3e recovery. Forgot about that, mostly because every device I've ever had I flash CWM on it instantly, so I kinda forgot there is that stock 3e recovery.

That would be fantastic. If/when the source is available.

2nd Trio Stealth Pro just failed

Has anyone tried to do a re-boot, or to power off/on cycle one of these tablets lately?

I rooted mine, and installed the Android Market, as given in this thread. It works fine afterward, and I have been able to download several apps from the Google Play app store. All working just fine for many days.

However, after a re-boot (why did I do that?), all my downloaded apps are suddenly gone! All that is left are the original apps the tablet came with, Super SU, and the Android Market (the update to Google Play, though, is gone too).

In Settings... Storage, the first "INTERNAL STORAGE" is now 0.00B, and the first bar is fully green.

If I try to (re-)download even one app, it fails with a not enough storage error msg. Its like that part of memory is gone, disabled, unaccessible.

I thought with my first tablet, I was just a victim of a random hardware failure. I returned it for another one. However,

this just happen again, now to my replacement tablet

. :crying:

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a way of recovering from this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
Re: 2nd Trio Stealth Pro just failed

Maybe I am being a bit paranoid, but is there any chance that Google, after a few days, figures out that this tablet is not suppose to be accessing Google Services like the Play store (the manufacturer didn't license such?), and downloads something that overwrites the app memory during the next boot, effectively destroying any downloaded apps and preventing one from downloading anymore? Is such even possible?

I am just having a tough time believing that my second Trio Stealth Pro tablet has the same hardware failure as the first. :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatGoSplat:
No, it's definitely nothing on Google's end. It could be a rogue app, but it's probably just quality control issues. In fact, I had the same thing happen to my 1st one too, but I thought it was my fault for playing around with flashing ROMs. The /sdcard mount was working fine, and then suddenly it wasn't. Kept saying it's bad and needed to be formatted, and then it would say format failed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
I thought about a "bad" app, but all the apps are just the normal ones from the Google Play store, and are basically all the same apps I have on my android phone for some time now. I have allowed the Google Play store to update everything, including the pre-loaded "system" apps. I hope none of those updates are inherently incompatible with this tablet.

I did have to re-boot the tablet after Google Services was updated. That got my current location working for Maps. That re-boot went fine.

I am also trying to figure out why a memory failure happens during a re-boot. Does an Android OS boot do a memory test, and if it finds even one bit bad, automatically disables the entire memory chip?

Oh, after the app memory failure, and after I did a factory reset (I had hope such would clear the problem... it didn't), during the boot I get the Android robot lying on his side, with this belly door open (kind of like Bender on Futurama), and a red "!" sticking out of his belly. I assume that's the symbol for hardware failure found?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatGoSplat:
That sounds like the screen you see right before it enters recovery mode. Have you tried doing a factory reset in recovery mode?

Mine does have an odd compatibility problem with the Weather Channel app - just won't work (black screen), but it runs in everything else, including my HP Touchpad running ICS. So it's possible some app behaves fine in everything else and could cause problems on this tablet. Although I tend to think it's a quality issue, but so far there doesn't seem to be an epidemic. We'll see if others start mentioning having the same issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] smithmal:
I've had similar issues with another A10 tablet. At that time it was thought to be a busybox issue. It seemed that the ROM I was using already had busybox in the background and installing a new busybox on top of it screwed up the memory somehow causing the tablet to boot back into its original firmware settings and display the internal storage as 0. The only way out of it was a reflash (which obviously you can't do).

This is another great reason for needing the original firmware for this unit. I have sent several emails (mssupport@machspeed.com) and tried calling their technical support line (580-272-0035). I get no reply emails and a constant busy signal on the phone number.

I agree though, we should all send emails to the above support email address requesting a link to the original firmware file and maybe this might get released.

smithmal

EDIT: So I finally was able to get in touch with tech support. They indicated the following:

1. Only their engineering department had access to the firmware file and that they were not releasing it. They indicated if you had issues with your firmware becoming corrupt that is should be sent back if still under warranty. So for now, unless someone can pry this out from Machspeed's Engineering Dept. we won't be able to get a copy of this firmware.

2. There is hope though....From a recorded message, MachSpeed is currently trying to get a Google license for their tablets so that the Google Play Market can be accessed. Perhaps after they get this license, they will provide a new firmware version allowing users to quickly reflash their tablets so that Google Play Market is accessible. I can't imagine them pushing this out to customers without some sort of firmware reflash.

3. I asked if they thought that JB would be released for this tablet. Tech support indicated that it was unknown if JB would be released for this model or some "other models" that they are currently looking at
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
Thanks for the suggestion. Busybox is indeed one of the apps I am downloading from Google Play. I'll skip that app with my latest replacement.

I think I will take the tablet out of Root, too, after I copy the Android Market app.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MilChad:
I'm missing a step somewhere, need help.

I prepped my Trio in the system settings per the instructions, then I downloaded the drivers for my 9.7C and connected the tablet to my PC. Ran cmd.exe as Admin, found the tablet and ran the batch file. My tablet came up to the screen the prompts me whether or not to restore my data, I selected that and then the tablet asks me for a password or security code. (Can't remember which because I am going off of memory on what happened last night) and gave up because it was getting late. Any ideas on why it asked for a some kind of password?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, that's normal. The instructions said just to hit the Restore button no matter what comes up. At the bottom of that screen should be a Restore button. Touch that and it should continue on its merry way.
