Chineese 10" Tablet soft-bricked

Hello all,

Three months ago I bought through e-bay two tablets. There was no specific brand name on them but the main chipset was MEDIATEK MT8127.

Also the model name that the "MTKdroidTools" gave me was M10. (If anyone wants to know more for this model I can give him/her the e-bay link)

The problem is that after one month of use, both tablets started having problems with reboots, freezes etc. I contacted the seller and asked him to resent two new ones since those were defected. The guy did that and sent me the new tablets one month ago. In about one week of use I had exactly the same problems with both tablets. I tried to contact the seller again but this time without any luck.

So I tried to reflash the firmware of one of the tablets with one rom for M10 I have found without any luck, bricking the tablet. Right now the specific tablet doesn`t even turn on. The other one stopped turning on long ago, by itself. I have a backup of the original rom of the tablet but I don`t know how to push it in the tablet since when I connect the device on my pc through USB it sees it like COM PORT and the ugly part is that windows recognize and loose the connection with the tablet every about 3-4 seconds...

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,

I'm looking for something better than my Z2's default keyboard, I've checked Swiftkey, Touchpal and GO KB, but they all come with this ridiculous Emoji emoticons packs and don't see a way to use different emoticons. I like the ones from the default Sony KB on the phone pretty much, so I want something similar.
[General Questions and Answers] meakshay_mishra:

Go For Google Keyboard. Its better than all you mentioned. Download it's latest updates. You'll love the way you type.

Hit thank if I somehow helped.
[General Questions and Answers] nickem:
Thanks, but this doesn't really help or answer my question. I quite like the looks on these KBs, that's why I want em. I might as well stick to the Sony stock, as it' s not bad at all, but that's not the point.

Even more - the Google KB has the same Emoji icons pack, that really don't like.

Samsung Sucks in all Sense.

I appreciate your thought but according to me Samsung sucks in everything related to software. Even Google has commented on that "Samsung maybe g good in making hardware but they don't know how to make a great software." That caused an argue between Samsung and Google and at end Samsung introduced android copied os tygen is.

That's all.

Soo, I'm not really interested in testing a whole bunch of other KBs, as the 3 I already listed are quite nice themselves.

If it wasn't clear enough, I'm look for a way to change the emoticons these KBs use, as they are all emoji and quite stupid looking.

Any help?

Why can the Galaxy K Zoom (S5 Zoom) and the S4 Zoom only take up to 6 Still images while recording Video, independend from the Video Resolution, FPS and length?

I just want to know why.

I already know, that my last 2 Questions about the Camera of the Note 3 (just 8MP Stills) and the Note 4 (30 Burst Shot in row) were a little bit stupid, but this one, i don't think so...

I do already know, that the slow zoom while VideoRecording is, because otherways you'd hear the Zoom Engine Sound in the Video, but i can't understand the 6 Still Image Limit.

Phone as dashcam monitor

First, I apologize if something similar has already been addressed. I cant seem to find an answer to this anywhere.

I have a dashcam in my car that doesn't have a built in monitor. Instead there is an rca cable that can be plugged into a monitor in the car if I would like. Is there any way to convert that to micro usb or 3.5mm in order to use my Note 3 as a monitor?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to install custom recovery in a blu dash jr k

HI HELPERS.

I´m trying to install CWM or TRWP to flash a ROM to my device.

[MENTION=6341393]ruso946[/MENTION], have you already tried this?
[General Questions and Answers] dolcichw:
Just in case anyone else is wondering about this, here is a real answer that I got over on androidforums...

Most (if not all) of the RCA-to-USB adapters that I can find are directional - they take a USB input to an RCA output. You're wanting something to go the opposite direction. While it's entirely possible that such a device exists, there isn't anything in Android built to handle video input. That's not something that a simple app would be able to accomplish, it would have to be integrated at the hardware and kernel level.

Same goes for the RCA-3.5mm adapters - your phone isn't built to handle raw external video input.

(And yes, there are some scenarios for using a phone/tablet as a monitor for a DSLR camera, but those are using USB connections on both ends so that the input to the phone is actually data instead of raw video.)

no, i´m afraid it´s not. Mine is BLU DASH JR K.

down in my signature you have the whole specifications.

I can post screenshots about the steps i´m doing.

Because the ROM Manager says i already have the CWM or the TWRP installed, but i can´t get to it.

---------- Post added at 19:04 ---------- Previous post was at 18:46 ----------

Well, this is the first screenshot:

It happens when I get the phone off and press volume up and power at the same time

As it doesn´t shows clear I transcribe it for you: "select Boot Mode: Recovery, Fastboot, Normal"

then I choose recovery mode and shows this:

and then i press power button and shows this:

and i choose reboot just not to mess it up ! ! !

and it reboots :o

So, does this help you to help me?:)
[General Questions and Answers] :
Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.

Well, it seems that there is no custom recovery for the JR K. My last recommendation to you is to try the one in the link I gave you for the BLU DASH 3.5 - chances are, it'll work.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you. :(

I´ll try it, but ¿have you seen the shots?

anything else to add?

I think it means i already have the recovery installed, isn´t it?

why can´t i get to them ?:confused:

---------- Post added at 19:29 ---------- Previous post was at 19:22 ----------

well, the problem is me! ! ! !

i mean, when i choose recovery in the first shot, i expect to get the recovery screen, but it just goes to that "SIN COMANDOS" screen (the second). I saw some tutorials about TWRP to make a NANDROID backup, and i can´t get to that screen where you choose the Backup.

[General Questions and Answers] ruso946:
No, i didn´t.

I only just rooted the phone with the kingroot3.3.1, and then I´ve installed the ROM Manager, and it says what is showed in the shot.

TWRP and CWM doesn´t have support for this device. Or I didn´t find it (i´m so new in this, could have passed over it).

So I can´t understand why says i already have it.

I need it to flash a custom ROM, like cyanogem. Or am I wrong with thia too?:confused:

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol,

btw= By The Way

Go do a Google search for

"Custom recovery for [your model number]"

If it doesn't give you any search results then most likely there is nothing for your device or if there is anything for your device then it will be pretty obscure and will take some time to dig up, you may be able to use something for a similar device but they would have to be very close to each other based on chipset and stock firmware/kernel, if the stock firmware and kernel builds are very close to each other and your device shares the same chip set then it will probably work, if you can't find anything for what you already have on the device then look into the possibility that another devices stock firmware can be flashed to yours and whether those devices have a custom recovery, if it does then you could possibly use their firmware then install the recovery that works for it, just a thought.

Multi-boot exists on pc bud :thumbup:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Who were you speaking to?

Were you trying to say that multi boot doesn't exist on Android? If you were then I beg to differ, dual booting exists in android, I know a dev at AA51 that dual boots on his S3, I'm actually looking into setting it up on my S3 also but I haven't really dug in with it yet.

Dripped from the Tapa of my (Deathly)Liquidsmooth S3
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Also, something that is more likely to work for you that I just thought of.

Look into whether your device model was previously produced with a different firmware than yours then see if their are recoveries available for that, some devices can be downgraded to an older firmware for that device that have custom stuff available, you can also see if their are devices of your model that have NEWER firmware than yours then see what is available for that, if their is an older or newer firmware for your model that has custom stuff then you can definitely use it to get where you want to be without a single problem.

***NOTE*** this only applies as long as hardware wasn't changed from older to newer versions. A change in chipset from older to newer could very well cause a problem. Not all devices of a certain model number have the same chips or firmwares, depending on the device their could be any number of devices of the exact same model number but be completely different, sometimes even sitting side by side on the shelf and you wouldn't know the difference if you don't check certain pieces of information.

Food for thought on future device purchases ;)

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Country Code and Rom version

Hi,

First of all I apologize if I beggar anything up here, I am totally new to this stuff even though I have had a tablet for ages and no have a Samsung Galaxy S5 which I totally love.

I have one of the original Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1's and have had a devil of a time trying to determine what firmware and software updates I can apply to it.

According to the back of the unit it states.

Model GT-P7500

FCC ID A3LGTP7500

Android version 3.2

Baseband version P7500 BUKK4

Kernel version

2.6.36.3

root@DELL129 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 6 09:35:48 KST 2011

Build number

HTJ85B P7500BUKL1

I found reference to it here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437679

which suggests that the unit is Croatian ; however it was brought from a retail store in New Zealand and should have something like VNZ.

I am trying to determine how to upgrade this to the latest rom/os combo even if it requires third party tools can someone please give me some pointers as to if I am going wrong with identifying this device and

also as to how to update it.

Thank you all in advance.

screen glitching after flashing custom roms

Galaxy Tab Plus (p6200) running stock kernel, cm12 unnoficial by daniel_hk,(latest update; Feb14,2015)

Since I started flashing roms, (1st rom flashed is the final build of CarbonRom by daniel_hk too) I began to notice that screen glitches at certain points, maybe when i pull down notif bar, open up apps, or excecute recents screen, etc. Sometimes it may appear like the screen flashes for a split second when i click something, or otherwise vertical lines appear. also when i scroll down screen, it seems like some (vertical) parts of the screen is not coping up with the scrolling. Its really hard to explain, but the best word that describes it is that it's a glitch

some suggest that i flash a custom kernel, cuz maybe the kernel isn't up for the rom i guess? but if so, then what kernel should i use? the ones that daniel_hk have on his posts KitKat roms? really hope this could be solved... :confused:

Technically, hitting thanks is for when someone actually helps you, not just because they replied.

How about people start worrying about the advice they give out instead of boosting their thanks count. As I read through here I'm very disappointed in half the garbage I read that people are trying to peddle as help and then ask for a "thanks" on top of it. I can see why so many of the older members have pulled out of here.

You're gonna have to use a PC to do what you're wanting to do.

Its possible depending on your device to root it then install mobile odin(if your device is supported) then possibly use mobile Odin to install the firmware that you're wanting to flash as long as it is a stock firmware. Or if you're wanting to flash a custom ROM you can root then install a custom recovery then flash the custom ROM through the recovery.
