I got the CWM 6.0.1.2 from here it was meant to be specific to A10's.

Problem is I have no drivers so I cannot see it in windows either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
Okay, if we both search we'll find the device faster.

Go to the following link and try to find your device or a device with similar specs: http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/274-allwinner-a10-cpu-devices/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Again thanks for the help, where is the spec for all the models on those pages?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
To be honest it's just a long search through each tablets board to find a post that lists the specs. I'm realizing that's a big headache.

I personally just flashed random A10 images onto my device. Nothing bad seemed to happen to my device, but I'm not sure if the same is going to apply to you. If you feel like taking the chance you can just flash some images and cross your fingers hoping it doesn't do anything to your device. When I did it the worst that happened was that the roms either didn't display anything, displayed a static image, display was off center, touch controls didn't work, or got stuck at boot screen, then one finally worked.

I can try to link you to some A10 firmware images and LiveSuitPack if you want to take the chance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
If I knew how to do it I could persevere trying different images, how easy is it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
It's very simple actually.

Here's the LiveSuitPack tool: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/LivesuiteInstall

Here's the guide for installing firmware: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/A10Firmware

In the guide for installing firmware substitute the menu button for volume down button if you don't have a menu button.

There are two firmwares to download on the firmware installation guide page, although I don't think either of those will work at all to begin with. Try them if you'd like. Give me a few minutes to boot into my other partition so I can get all the links of images I bookmarked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
So the drivers are in the folder? for each particular tablet image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
No, once you download the Livesuitpack you're going to open the folder and run LiveSuitPack_v1.07. That'll install some drivers, or it'll ask you if you want to install some drivers, click Yes. From there you're going to run the LiveSuit application. Then you follow the steps for getting the new firmware onto your device.

EDIT: The drivers that the Livesuitpack installs onto your computer also make your device recognizable in ADB (if you know what that is and ever have a use for it). I also couldn't find drivers for my device for the longest and these seem to work at making your device recognizable across your computer.

Firmware:

This is the one that worked on my tablet, doubt it'll work on yours: http://www.ele-china.com/soft/tablet/7inchA10/

This has a good bunch of them: http://www.tikkitoo.com/Firmware-Downloads

Another one I tried: http://androidtabletfirmware.com/firmware_details=MzE5LTEzMzI5MDkxNzAwNzAxNDkyMDU2

This is a forum thread linking to a bunch of websites with firmware for A10 devices: http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?topic=3807.0

That's a huge portion of the places I searched and the ones I tried. I'll update the post if I find anymore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
I can't thank you enough for your help.

I will update here on any progress I make.

Once again many thanks, karma owes you one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
No need to thank anymore than you already have. I've been helped around here plenty of times by some sincere people. It's all about giving back what you receive. I hope everything goes well with your tablet as it did mine, and be careful, don't want anything getting messed up on you. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
No luck so far, I flashed one image which gave me a sort of cracked looking screen affect, other images I have tried to flash do not make it to 100%?

I am not sure if I have now completely bricked it?

I am still looking for images that closely match my pad and will try again this evening.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
Your device shouldn't brick. I believe A10 devices have all necessary code in the chip itself, or something along those lines. The cracked looking screen effect means that it isn't compatible with your device, I came across plenty of roms that did that to my device, all you do if flash the next image.

I haven't come across any issues with it not getting to 100%. I can only suggest you retry it, or move on to the next image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
Iv got similar problems with my BC1077. Iv been trying to fix it for the last few days. Im not 100% sure, but I think the problem Iv quoted above is that CWM does not support jellybean, so it wont work with cm10, which is jellybean.

Over the last few days Iv flashed 40+ A10 firmwares to my tablet, but Iv only found 1 that installs properly and boots for me. It actually works pretty well, only major issue iv noticed is auto rotate doesnt work. But this same working firmware is also jellybean, after I install CWM I get bootloops and have to reflash the firmware again to boot.

Heres a link to the firmware that works for my BC1077 - http://www.ssb-repair.com/Firmwares/Cherry/M1007_20121217.zip

Its for a completly different tablet (Cherry Mobility - M007), but like I said it works on mine.

Heres another firmware it might be worth you trying to flash, its the only BC1007 specific firmware Iv found, but it wont install on my tablet, I always get a 0x162 error from it. Heres the link - http://www.pandawillforum.com/soft/mate sku20314 firmware for May 25 stock.rar

Good luck, let us know if you make any progress.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
I think I might have been flashing with a very low battery, if a flash was unsuccessful halfway through would this not brick the tablet.

I am not getting any kind of response from the screen at all and when I try to flash although the drivers appear to load the % bar doesn't go up.:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Thanks for that, I will try tonight and get back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
OK, regardless of the image I try to flash the livesuit progress bar gets to 3% and then goes back to 0% and then nothing.

Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
If the battery was low and the flashing process didn't finish all you have to do is load up the exact image that didn't finish flashing into LiveSuit and put your tablet into download mode and let it do its thing. I had the same problem and got scared my tablet was bricked, so I just did the process I stated above and it finished. It wouldn't allow me to flash another rom, I'd get the little Livesuit pop up that you get after a rom successfully flashes, so if that's the same pop up you're getting don't be alarmed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
I dont think your tablet is bricked, if it was I doubt it would respond to Live Suite or PheonixUSB pro at all. From what Iv read about the A10 its meant to be unbrickable.

What error codes does live suite/pheonixUSB give you when they stop?

if youre getting 0x120 and 0x162 errors, just keep trying more firmwares out till you find one that will install without errors.

Theres loads of A10 Allwinner firmwares at this link - http://androidtabletfirmware.com/firmware_search/order=2/sort=1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Right, it took me f*ckin ages to find the 1st image that didn?t complete and finally flashed it 100%.

Since then I have flashed quite a few and have finally found one that works.

The name of the .img that worked for me was: 01F2-D1-H1-H01-1744.20121217.img

Cannot for the life of me remember where I got it though.( I will look)

The display settings will not open, the message I get is Unfortunately stopped.

Strangely some apps will not install, like chrome? Says not compatible?

The auto rotate does not work either, which is probably the worst thing, are there any apps that might do this manually?

It is showing that it is now JB as the android version is 4.1.1, it does seem a bit nippier, especially on the net.

Props to all who chipped in.:D

Perhaps anyone with an Allwinner A10 BC1077 could post their working images here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
Thats great to hear, congrats on getting your tablet booted. :)

I think thats the same firmware thats working on my bc1077. Does it show cherry mobilty when booting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Yes it does.

It initially booted in Dutch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
Yep, definatly the same firmware, its works pretty well but does have quite a few problems. We could do with finding better firmware really.

edit- check to see if you are still rooted, I always lose root after reflashing the firmware. Theres a tool that will re-root your tablet if you need it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
If we find better firmware we could post it here, I think I got that firmware from your link.

Maybe the BC1077 is a misprint, in my about details it is now a PC1077.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
Glad you got that far. That's as far as I've gotten. I have similar issues with my A10 tablet, can't download quite a few apps I like, including Chrome and Evernote, but I just got the apk's off of the internet and installed them. My auto-rotation doesn't work either. I guess it's something we have to deal with since we don't have our original .img files. One day someone will find them. Glad you got it started again.

If you want you can try installing CM10 for A10 tablets, then try finding a working compatibility pack, that's if you want to deal with some more headaches.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
Mine also thinks its a PC1077 now.

My sister has the exact same tablet as me, on its original firmware, if there was some way to build an image from it we could just flash that.

Iv been trying to get CM9 and CM10 working on mine, not had any luck yet, would love to try them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
I will persevere until I find something that works 100%.

Any info that is helpful I will post here.

Good luck guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
Yep, same here, if I find anything interesting I'll post it here, till we get these tablets properly fixed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Looking at the cherry mobility support forum, the firmware we have is for the M1007 which is a 10" tablet.

They also produce two other tablets the M1013 and the M1038 both of which are 10.1" tablets with the mali gpu similar to our tablet.

The firmware downloads are not in .img format, I am looking to see if I can find any firmware for these tablets that will work in livesuit.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] col888:
I spent hours yesterday playing round with the tablet, trying different things out.

Iv tried installing clockworkmod on the tablet using several different methods, it always gives me similar errors:

e:cant mount /cache/recovery/command

e:cant mount /cache/recovery/log

e:cant open /cache/recovery/log

e:cant mount cache/recovery/last_log

e:cant open cache/recovery/last_log

I also tried installing many new firmwares, most gave errors, but I did find 3 more working firmwares for our BC1077's:

TAB-PROTAB25XXL8-Android 4.0.4_2328-20120822.zip - Android 4.04 ICS - seems unstable

TAB-PROTAB25XXL-Android 4.1_201212011.zip - Android 4.1 JB

TAB-PROTAB25XXL8-Android 4.1_20121212.zip - Android 4.1 JB

These firmwares seem faster than the cherry mobility one, also the display settings works properly, but autorotate and the camera dont work.

Heres the site I got the firmwares from - http://downloads.pointofview-online.com/Drivers/

There more firmwares there I have not tested yet.

Hi TheMook,

what problems with the market does your playstore and sdcard tweak fix?

and also, do you have any ideas how we might get clockworkmod working on our tablets?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhosAsking:
While on the subject.

Pardon my interjection, but I have a similar situation. I recently acquired secondhand a 10-inch Android tablet. It is identified on the device as a Digix TAB-1030. It has ICS on it currently. From the manufacturer's website, it is one of the Allwinner A10 types, but apparently not one that's normally listed among compatible devices for custom ROMs like the current CyanogenMod builds. However, I understand that this tablet could be similar if not identical to another brand, so I'm asking if anyone familiar with the A10 line could perhaps tell me if my tablet matches the profile of another tablet so that I can attempt a move to CM10 and Jelly Bean.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1993:
Unless you have an image file for your particular device that you can flash with Livesuit if anything goes wrong I suggest you not even bother with it. Don't even second guess it or take the chance.

To my knowledge CWM recovery will not work with this tablet.

Livesuit with a firmware image is the best bet, finding a decent firmware is the hard bit.

For the BC 1077:

I tried all three Protab firmwares mentioned yesterday and this one: TAB-PROTAB25XXL-Android 4.0.4_2328-20120822

I found the most stable one so far is this one: TAB-PROTAB25XXL-Android 4.1_201212011, I have stuck with this for the time being.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Google searches bring up a lot of results for you asking in other forums.

I think this tablet is a rockchip and not an allwinner.

Best bet is to search on the forum for a Rockchip A10 firmware from a tablet that closely matches your spec.

And flash with Livesuit.

I think that if this was made and sold as a make like samsung or lg it would cost 2X as much its fookin awesome :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlos65:
Not sure what firmware you are using now, if you still have the original then stick with it for now, it is the best one.

All of the alternatives have faults like no auto rotate or some apks not being supported, display settings not working etc.

In my opinion the Jellybean firmware here is about the best alternative so far, second one down on this link:

Hello all,

Iv found a modded version of the protab2xxl firmware on this Italian forum:

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/altri-tablet-mediacom/244853-mediacom-1010i-rom-protab25xxlmod.html

This modded version is already rooted, and includes a few nice apps preinstalled such ES file explorer and novo7tools. It also installs clockworkmod automatically, but after entering CWM it gives the usual E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command errors, and then bootloops.

Iv been trying to get CWM working properly on the BC1077 using this custom CWM recovery builder tool I found here.

Iv not had any luck so far with it. I think the reason we get the mounting errors with CWM, is because the partition information in recovery.fstab needs changing to work properly with our BC1077's.

Iv put together a list of BC1077 clones Iv found, all these tablets as far as I can tell, have the same outer case, and very similar specs to the BC1077. This list maybe useful for finding new working firmware's for the BC1077:

PROTAB2XXL + PROTAB2XXL2
