Hello everyone .. Im new here but i have searched all over the internet , forums etc...

I think there is a bug for cm9 xperia p ... I installed cm9 because it has minor bugs ...

So when I install it its ok ... after a few hours when i have finished downloading my apps ( facebook,chrome etc )

My xperia starts lagging and when i go to see CPU settings its ONDEMAND and it runs on max frequency ... and then when i lock it and then try to unlock it doesnt show anything... The wierd thing though is that touchscreen still in function and i can reboot ( after guessing where is reboot button)... The same thing when i try to charge it...

Does anyone else experienced the same? Is there any fix?

Thank all of you :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] iLouKaXzZ:
I found it out ... its the auto brightness do not enable it if you have the same problem as I have posted
[Android General] CurlyCoconutTree:
The Wikipad has been rooted and there is also a ClockworkMod Recovery available. I take no responsibility for your actions. This a choice you are making. If you brick your device that's on you. That being said, these procedures have been successful so far.

This only works on the Wikipad 7 inch running Android 4.1.1 and using Windows 7 64-bit (32-bit should work as well). I've not tried this with 4.2.2 or Windows 10, nor I have touched my Wikipad in years.

Download this: Everything you Need.zip and follow the read me(s).

A clean recovery backup! (Props to ordoeb) -- http://dfiles.ru/files/079843b8f
[Android General] maddawg579:
Thanks. Worked for me. Got root and clockworkmod. Still can't see my device in adb in Ubuntu. Trying to figure that out.
[Android General] Leiji-kun:
bad link

Thanks for root.

But link doesn't work.

Please, update the link "Everything you Need.zip".

Thanks again.
[Android General] SmokeyTheAggie:
The Wikipad needs its own forum.
[Android General] CurlyCoconutTree:
Finally

Mad props to ordoeb! Thank you and thank you again.

I'm downloading his stock image. I'll install it, make sure it's clean, then upload a copy with a link to share. As promised, I will also release instructions and files for root.

ordoeb, you've done the Wikipad community a great service. We now have full control over a device we love.

We now:

-Have a way to backup the device

-Restore the device (even in some "bricked" situations")

-Create Custom Roms

-And root the device

:good:

little help

How did you do it? I did everything correctly and I'm stuck in "waiting for device"

[SOLVED] I placed the original fastboot in the motochopper folder which probably didn't do anything. But since my android drivers are everywhere! I removed the adb_usb that was provided in the everything you need rar and used Google's USB drivers. Worked like a charm!

Link not working

The download link only has a file with pictures in it. File says sf baltimore...can someone help me???
[Android General] NgXAlex:
Same for me, many strange JPEG named Baltimore lol

Someone could post a new link with the good files ?

Thanks.

;)
[Android General] kenmacker:
Glad to know I wasn't the only one having that problem...Could someone please help us out...I love my wikipad and am super excited to root it, a million thanks in advance...
[Android General] gmvolk:
does not work

So, got the zip file, downloading the backup, but there are no instructions or read me in the file. So how do we root the wikipad?

Thanks
[Android General] NgXAlex:
The zip file is a wrong one, we need a reupload.

;)
[Android General] gmvolk:
Other zip

I downloaded it when it was called "just for you.zip" now the zip just has stuff about baltimore. Hopefully we'll get something to root the Wikipad soon. It's a good tablet, but it needs button mapping and I want to see if I can get rid of some of the useless google apps.

Thanks
[Android General] NgXAlex:
Yep, link is wrong... Hope someone can reupload or give a way to manually root it.

;)
[Android General] BrooklynNY:
Sorry not this week. My wife's sister got married yesterday, & I'm very tired... -- Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA Premium HD app
[Android General] NgXAlex:
Thanks, no probs, rest well ;)

Let us know.

;)
[Android General] Vono123:
New Link.

This is not exactly a mirror but a new upload. Idk if I can even do that but its needed.

Root does work and there are instructions inside the zip.

The original download link works as well because I've seen that weird download link while trying to download via mobile network. After switching to WiFi it was there bright and clear.

[Edit]

Your welcome :D
[Android General] NgXAlex:
You are a god, thanks my friend, all files are ok ;)

The old link is ok, but it send to a wrong zip file named: sf baltimore.ddtsf with many jpeg files inside instead of the good files lol

;)
[Android General] Vono123:
Yup yup! I'd also create a backup of your own, not saying the one provided is bad. But on my device it stops the G-Sensor from functioning. Could just be my device though. Just a tip aha.
[Android General] NgXAlex:
Hello guys,

I just received my Wikipad 7, it's a very great console without big audio lag unlike my Nvidia Shield...

Controls are excellent !

I just rooted my Wikipad, but I seen it's only a Tegra 3 T30L (not a T30S as described on first Wikipad Details before its release...)

So it's blocked at 1.3Ghz for 1 core and 1.2Ghz for 4 cores (instead of 1.5Ghz-1.4ghz as promised).

This tablet is a Nexus 7 clone lol So maybe an overclocked kernel is possible ? We can also dump the boot etc. with the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Thanks for your help.

I also made a topic in Q/A forum.

;)
[Android General] PHYSC-1:
Hi couldn't use the download link as it wants $5 a month to use the site it's uploaded in, also tried finding you on Facebook but your name doesn't exist can you private message me it please when you get a chance and I will be in touch via Facebook then, if you have Dropbox or better still a free 50gb mega.nz account which is turbo fast they are the best hands down. You can share links off that better than any I know, blitz 's the hell out any Dropbox account don't see the fascination with Dropbox or why it's the main service incorporated into cloud storage based apps, as they only give 15gb on a free account whereas mega.nz give you 50gb? Any way if you get the chance and private message me here I can get you on Facebook then possibly get the ouya files you might have, thanks in advance.
[Android General] mr.crabs!:
Hi,

Did you ever manage to pickup those files? Or, do you have CWM recovery for the WikiPad 7? I cannot get hold of it anywhere (and I have looked and looked). Anyone got it and can help a fellow android enthusiast out?

Regards,
[Android General] mr.crabs!:
Nevermind. I decided I'd pay for a month subscription to get the file. Because I'm a kind sort of guy who's had a ton of useful stuff from XDA over the years I thought I'd give a bit back. Here's a link to the original 'everything you need.zip' file, completely untouched for your enjoyment. ?

Https:

[Android General] PHYSC-1:
I never got the files sorry no, I tried the link it's dead mate, sorry been making music constantly but I would appreciate it if you could pass another link out, I see an article about a version of android 5 for the wikipad on here to so the postee claims? But that has never been answered, to be fair I really think it needs android 5 or 6 but nobody has ever bothered that would be amazing.
[Android General] mateo650:
Looks like Google Deleted your link
[Android General] airfrog7:
This is slightly off topic but I had a situation where I needed to factory reset my Wikipad (constant System UI errors made it unusable). I downloaded Fastboot and Android USB drivers from the links posted here:

Fastboot.zip, ADB, & Android USB Drivers | HighOnAndroid.com

highonandroid.com

I installed Android USB drivers (by ClockworkMod). I plugged the Wikipad in to my laptop (Windows 10), powered it off and booted it holding the power and volume down keys. I selected the "fastboot protocol" option. An unknown "fastboot" device then appeared in Device Manager. I had to manually select the ClockworkMod generic Android driver before it was recognised.

Running "fastboot devices" then listed a device. Running "fastboot -w" then deleted all user data (there's no confirmation prompt, it just runs). It also threw an error:

"CreateProcess failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. (193)

fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata"

I ignored the error and rebooted the Wikipad. It then booted in to the first time start-up wizard and the System UI errors were gone.

Anyway, with the Wikipad recognised as a fastboot device, hopefully anyone who needs to can make a bit more progress with rooting/imaging their Wikipad.
[Android General] y0da89:
1 : Install the new update.apk

2 : Download and install the firmware update from the OTA update

In case it does not work the OTA.zip goes into the /UPDATE_OTA folder

3 : Root your device with baidu root located in the Wikipad Root Pack archive

Install Baidu Root

Launch Baidu Root

Tap "A key to get root privileges"

Install Link2sd and Es Explorer and gave them both root access (Check the root explorer option in Es Explorer)

Install Supersu

Launch Supersu within Link2sd

Update the binary

Uninstall Baidu root within link2sd

Delete the baidu app in system/app with Es explorer (if needed)

Reboot

4 : You can install a custom recovery located in the Wikipad Rooting & Custom Recovery archive (the file is originally everything you need.zip)

How did you fix the g-sensor? After restoring the nano backup from this thread my senor will not work.

Does anyone have a diff nano they could upload with working senors ?
[Android General] mpkrcl:
upcoming ota

So thru the rumor mill, it sounds like an ota update is in the works. For now, I've frozen "System Updates 1.31" and "Update 2.0.0" with Titanium Backup to keep my wikipad from attempting to auto-update and causing problems, but since we are such a small community it seems that has wikipads and are interested in root, what is the best thing we can do to try to capture the ota update files when they come so we can turn it into a rooted cwm-flashable form?
[Android General] NgXAlex:
Hi, the OTA is available or not ? Because I have "no availables update" message.

Also a little thing, I discovered a Production Test menu.

Go to the settings and go to the informations menu with all infos (android 4.1.1, build etc.), on the last line click 3 times quickly and tada, you can check temperatures, check sensors etc. etc.

;)
[Android General] electron_theory:
OTA is out, how to unroot?

The ota just rolled out today, but I can't figure out how to unroot the wikipad. I'm stuck at step two where it says to open the command prompt, but I don't know where to open the command window from, my pc or android?
[Android General] Hammerswack:
I can't seem to figure it out but i will continue to mess around with it. I have the OTA.zip update file.
[Android General] Shadsterwolf:
Wikipad root ota update 2014 Q1 Q4 4.2.2

I have successfully kept root while updating with my own custom OTA versions. There are 2 of them. :victory:

Ill create a new forum for this but here:

What you will need:

Download this: (enter at the beginning "www" because this site is f***ing retarded and wont let me post outside links because I'm "new")

dropbox.com/s/c0p4bb1r9ggab1x/Wikipad%20OTA%20custom%20-%20Shadsterwolf.rar

MiniSD (recommended more than 4 GB)

PLEASE FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

PreReq: Extract the .rar you downloaded from me and put everything on your miniSD, then put it in the wikipad.

Step 1: Backup your root with "Voodoo OTA RootKepper"

Download the app, and "Protect Root"

(make sure you granted superuser)

Step 2: Backup your current system with "Nandroid Manager"

Download the app, scroll right to "Recovery", select "Flash New Recovery", select "choose from SD"

/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img

Continue, "Flash into Recovery"

Here you will need to use the

volume buttons to navigate and power to select

.

Select "backup and restore", Select "backup",

you will then start backing up your device in case anything bricks.

Select "Reboot system now" (If it asks about the root or flash, select yes)

Step 3: Install fix for Releasekey.x509.pem

Install "Update.apk" from your browser app. Should take a second.

Step 4: Install "ota2013mod.zip"

Use "Nandroid Manager" again to flash back into the "Recovery.img"

Select "install zip", select "chose zip from sdcard", select "ota2013mod.zip"

Wait for installation, if you encounter an error let me know the EXACT error code (see attachment for one of the errors I had before)

After install is complete,

Select "Reboot system now" (If it asks about the root or flash, select yes)

It will go though an update process.

Check your root, check superuser if you need to update binary.

Step 5: Install "ota2014mod.zip"

Use "Nandroid Manager" again to flash back into the "Recovery.img"

Select "install zip", select "chose zip from sdcard", select "ota2014mod.zip"

Wait for installation, if you encounter an error let me know the EXACT error code (see attachment for one of the errors I had before)

After install is complete,

Select "Reboot system now" (If it asks about the root or flash, select yes)

This part will take a long a$$ time,

Since i did not remove the preinstalled games in this one... but I didn't want to mess with the code.

At this time you should be completely updated, seeing the Wikipad Game Mapper icon, enjoy :good:

Check your root again, everything should be there.

Troubleshoot:

If you f***ed up anything, restore your device with the recovery. (if you didn't backup then you didn't follow my instructions)

If you encounter any errors while installing the update, tell me the error code and I'll fix it.
[Android General] mpkrcl:
Question

Thanks very much for going through this. I plan to do this on my wikipad, and will post how it goes. Two questions about it:

1. Is the recovery being installed in step 2 the existing CWM recovery CurlyCoconutTree released a while back with the original root? (i.e. if we already have CWM installed, could we just proceed to the nandroid backup?)

2. After all is said and done, is CWM still installed or will the update overwrite the custom recovery? (meaning we will need to reinstall CWM afterwards?)
[Android General] Shadsterwolf:
1. Yes the .img contains CWM, if you know what you're doing with CWM then it should be easy for you.

2. In the update code, I modified it to not remove the recovery.img, but as precaution I always tell nandroid to flash CWM's .img after rebooting anyway.

I want to say you will still have it, but just reflash just in case.
[Android General] mpkrcl:
worked for me

Seems to have worked great for me. I am showing 4.2.2, still have root, and I have the game mapper.

Thanks!!

Those are patch checks, Ill just remove them for you to test with.

I forgot about the addons... lol

[Android General] Hammerswack:
The 2013 update installed but the 2014 update is frozen on the wikipad logo during the reboot. Is this normal or do I have to restore again?
[Android General] GizmoG2:
The same problem. Waited for about two hours but nothing happens.:confused:
[Android General] rhodareyes:
i was able to update OTA 2013 normally using new update apk sent by wikipad support but failed in Q1 2014

do i have to skip 2013mod and proceed right away with 2014mod thru recovery what if it fails again from patch check
[Android General] Shadsterwolf:
There is no patch check in the second ota

make sure you boot back into the system after you install the 2013mod (with or without patch check)

because everything needs to apply the 2013 updates then,

check your binary in superuser.

Then install the 2014
[Android General] Hammerswack:
Doesn't matter what I do it seems the 2014 update bricks my wikipad into a bootloop. Ill just have to live without it or wait for wikipad support to get back to me :(
[Android General] Shadsterwolf:
The reason i did not get rid of the patch check in the 2013 mod is because it would tell you what is missing/corrupt/modified from the app SHA-1 checksum.

Before it was a system app.

I wonder if anyone else got it working and just didn't follow up...

Took me forever to figure out too, I may just release a clean restore image of my wikipad...
[Android General] Hammerswack:
That could fix the issues I have been having. Its been a frustrating process to get my wikipad updated.
[Android General] rhodareyes:
yeah bro that would be great then we all get 4.2.2 the easiest way
[Android General] xphyle1971:
Will the root method in the OP still work with the newest 2014 Wikipad update that includes the Key Mapper software? Basically, I'm currently 100% stock and I now am totally up to date on the software and I'd now like to root. Can I use the method in the OP with this newest 4.2 firmware?

Thanks!
[Android General] Hammerswack:
It would be harmless to try it. I don't see why it wouldn't but make sure you have a backup made before you try.
[Android General] rhodareyes:
hello everyone was able to flash both updates manually and was a success but this one i lose root since i used the unmodified ota.zip

luckily had a backup of it using voodoo...restored...now a root works fine

so heres what i did

1. updating Q4 2013

youll get error updating normally with this [perhaps you are rooted and had system modified already] so you need to install update apk from

hammershacks post, mine was sent by wikipad support

once installed do the update again and surely youll pass 2013 update

once rebooted another update needs to be downloaded, once done dont go update right away but go to sd/OTA-UPDATE and there resides

ota.zip,copy it to external sdfcard

2. updating Q1 2014

now will flashed it manually

shutdown tablet and follow this------simultaneously press power and vol up---there popup wiki logo and a menu somewhere in the corner

press volume down till highlight 'recovery kernel' then press volume up...i mean just vol up----then in a moment popup a dead android with

exclamation mark------now simultaneously press vol up and vol down, this you may need to do it 2 or more times 3 seconds every press---

until the stock recovery menu appears in the corner-----once there using the volume buttons select install uppdate from sdcard-----

select ota.zip----and wait

probably some of you may get errors during patching like app process and audio.conf etc. dont panic

----if update fails copy the path of the file that shows up in the error and reboot from menu

3.restoring stock files and replace with a stock backup [ill upload the soonest those system files you get error with..post it here]

using root explorer or whatever file manager you prefer that can access root go to the path of the file that made error and replace it with stock

and dont forget to apply permissions----reboot tablet---follow again no.2 if you still have error do this again....me i only got app.process error when i got root

and everything went fine...GOODLUCK and sorry for the format i have a bad pc keyboard

here attached app.process file if ever you have this error just remove .txt in it

if you still get more errors besides this post it here i have the stock system files with me and ill post it here
[Android General] drag59:
thanks you !
[Android General] GizmoG2:
please post this file "/system/framework/core.odex"
[Android General] rhodareyes:
looks like xda gave me hard time uploading such a small file or just my connection so download from here for now....

http://dfiles.eu/files/ol1hg3nce

dont forget to set permission after replacing modified file then reboot...goodluck... i advice you to have a backup first and use CWM to flash ota....the stock recovery works as CWM because i dont know what core.odex does when you replace it though odex file just make an app fast access but to be prepared for something worse make a backup....let me know how it goes
[Android General] Majere_Draven:
I was successful, very successful. Heres how: I updated the Wikipad OTA installs normally without root, Then I Flashed the recovery with CWM, Directly after running the fastboot protocol (the instructions to install cwm from the file "Everything you Need.zip" I selected Bootloader from the menu. Then selected Recovery Kernal. That loaded CWM. (DO NOT REBOOT BEFORE OPENING CWM OR THE WIKIPAD WILL FLASH THE RECOVERY BACK TO DEFAULT.) I selected Reboot from the CWM- IT asked me to remove the other recovery, I hit yet, then it asked me to root the device, I selected yes, It rebooted, And I had root access. Sorry if you don't understand any of that. Just ask and I'll clarify.
[Android General] rhodareyes:
so you did root the new 4.2.2 update using root method in OP? good to hear that
[Android General] kingkoopa10:
hey man good to hear any way you can upload the recovery image for the 4.2 rooted
[Android General] Majere_Draven:
I'm sorry, I'm so newb at this. How would I back up the recovery image?
[Android General] mahe22:
i am root

I am root and I can not update for ota normally. WikiPad soport contact and sent me a new update.apk. install it and follow the instructions but I get this error:

install / sdcard

finding update package

opening update package

verifying update packege

installing update

assert failed:apply_patch_check("/system/app/email.odex", "0baf179723d8864b7cf2b46f204b40cf6abc8e43", "26d242080445763f26042bba65eccdcc461313b")

installation aborted.

can explain that I can do exactly that I can do to upgrade and if I can regain root access on the new update?
[Android General] GizmoG2:
YEAAHH !!! I Finally upgraded, after a heap of failed attempts. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thank you rhodareyes. Сatch thanks.

what happened:

when the update came, I tried to update. when I try to update to Q4 2013 I got an error

"ERROR: java.util.ZipException: Duplicate entry name: device/NVidia/keenhi/wikipad_keys/releasekey.x509.pem"

. after patch Update.apk the system updates. but when trying to update to Q1 2014 after reboot I got an error

" assert failed:apply_patch_check("/system/framework/core.odex" bla bla bla...) "

. and no matter what I tried, nothing worked. But now everything has been updated and still have root.

my procedure

1. I have been updated to Q4 2013

2. make root as it is written here

3.then made as here

4. then made as here

I just replaced one file that is displayed when an error when I update to Q1 2014, with stock file.

The first attempt to replace the file, the tablet reboot itself.

And on the second attempt, normally replaced and when I update to Q1 2014, was no errors.

Thanks again to rhodareyes for providing the file that I needed.
