The CM porting has been hitting a snag. I have TWRP 100% working on the tab right now. But, that doesn't get us much without a ROM to flash to it. I could probably get CM10.1 going on it with touch screen and everything working, but have really been focusing on 10.2 (mostly) and a little of 11. CM 10.1 should be easy enough because we already have drivers compiled for our device. However, we will likely have to extract the software from our original tablet from a couple of modules to get everything working on CM 10.2 or newer. This is because the actual hardware for our touchscreen is pretty common, but the implementation appears to be device specific (and therefore, also the drivers). This is a problem because we don't have a rooted version of our original firmware. I do have a firmware (actually 2) that is rooted with working touchscreen but I haven't found a way to extract the data from the module to be able to compile it. The gentleman on Slatedroid who compiled CM has got a working driver for our rear facing camera, so it is a real possibility that it could be working at least, but the front facing one would take more work. It seems that he is not really wanting to make compatibility packs for any new devices right now (he's already maintaining about 10 or so). If I get some free time in the near future I might ask him for some help with setting up my own build of CM and things will be looking better. For, now...I'm just chasing several leads hoping each one will get us somewhere.

In the end, we REALLY need the original firmware to get things going. I have devised a plan to do so, but it's not a sure things and it's going to take a few days. So, for now...I guess it's just a waiting game while I keep experimenting with things.
[Android General] neatojones:
Meh, so my last plan seemed to have failed. Looks like I'm back to the drawing board.

I tried another firmware which is similar to ours but doesn't have the right wifi drivers loaded and still doesn't have the right camera.

CM 10.1 is a possibility, but I can't seem to get the RSA key acceptance dialog to come up so I can use ADB with it...so I keep getting stuck there.

Update: I have found a way to fix the wifi.

The problem with getting the camera working on alternative roms is that I need to find a device that has a similar setup and uses our camera so I can get the appropriate settings from the script.bin file since I can't get it from our own device.

The other option would be trial and error for the script.bin file, but that could take a seriously long amount of time.

By the way, I heard back from our tablet's manufacturer and they refused to send me the tablet software stating that they don't have it (SERIOUSLY?!?). They stated that even if they did, they would be afraid we would break our devices if we had it at our disposal. They were kind enough to offer to let me send my tablet in under warranty to have the "board replaced" stating that it is the only way to get the original firmware...What a joke.

By, the way...the response came from DoublePower tech instead of Nobis, so it seems that they are indeed one in the same company.

I guess, the only other means to get the firmware would be to try to contact the Inet-tek company who makes the board to see if they have it.
[Android General] genecis:
Really appreciate your efforts bro:thumbup: CM on this device would really be great. Say even if you could provide us with the ROM how am I supposed to flash it? Is there a way to get recovery on this device?
[Android General] neatojones:
I have a copy of TWRP recovery that can be flashed using Phoenix Suit software and works on our tablet. It is thanks to the hard work of a kind person on Slatedroid named curt45. I can send a copy of it, but I'd like to ask that people consider donating to him. Do me a favor though and if you still have the original Nobis firmware, make a final attempt to root it using the methods mentioned before. I can't emphasize enough how badly we need a copy of the original firmware for this device. Getting root would allow us to get a copy. Otherwise, I think there is a way to chroot from linux and get a copy as well. If someone could make an attempt at this or any other means it would really help out in the long run. I'm considering sending my tablet in for a "board replacement" to get the original and take another few attempts at it.

The link to slatedroid TWRP and directions is here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/96225-start-here-first-time-cm-installs-or-upgrade-partition-size/

I'll ask him to upload the recovery.
[Android General] neatojones:
As a word of caution. CM itself does load and runs well. Also, it looks like the xbox 360 controller does work (I know there was some interest in this).

HOWEVER, the touch screen does not work so you would need an OTG cable/mouse. Camera won't work until we can get the script.bin from the original firmware. Again, will have to have root to get that (Actually, if someone has time to extract the settings from another tablet with the same camera it could work too, but I have yet to find one). However, it does have wifi and most other functions working when you flash the nanda from iview788tpc to it.

The working version of CM is on slatedroid as well by Christian Troy.
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
That is kind of the dumbest thing I have ever heard. They must get shipped to them then with the firmware already on them.

Any chance you could send it my way. Also, I wonder if it will affect anything with the stock unrooted firmware. Maybe I could actually get the OTA root zip file to flash with TWRP.

Again, huge thanks for everything your doing with this. I dont have a linux box so I cant really chroot or anything. Unless I can boot to linux from a live CD/thumb drive maybe. Think that would work or not?
[Android General] neatojones:
I agree. So, if we can find a contact with the inet-tek company, that may be our next best option. Here is our board (or versions of our tablet) http://www.inet-tek.com/a/Q70/

But, I have yet to find any contact info on that website other than a phone number and fax. But, I don't speak Chinese so I doubt calling is an option. I did read on another forum that someone found a email to them somewhere, but haven't found one myself.

PM me your email and I can send it to you, but it should be posted to the website above anytime now. It will completely wipe everything from the tablet if you flash it using Phoenixsuit. So, you WILL lose the original firmware and wouldn't have any need for the rootfromOTA.zip because you'll have to flash a new ROM. The only other way to flash the recovery would require root, which we don't have on that ROM. So, you would have to flash another ROM with PhoenixSuit, which would also lose your original ROM. I have wondered if, when flashing it might leave the original if you told PhoenixSuit not to format during the "upgrade", but I doubt it.

You should be able to do it with a thumbdrive, but you'll need a decent sized drive. Actually, I would recommend using Lubuntu or something of that sort that is lighter anyway since it would likely be faster and take up less space.
[Android General] neatojones:
In an attempt to get root on the original firmware, I was wondering if anyone out there might try a few more update zips:

You'll need to go to recovery and "upgrade from external SD" or whatever.:

http://www.arctablet.com/blog/downl...A31_generic/Onda_Allwinner_A31_root_v1_0.zip/

If that doesn't work, try upgrading using this: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-root-from-recovery.html
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
Lame. They both just give me "error" and doesnt flash it. :(

Wish the recovery would not go so fast and actually show why it failed but as soon as it fails, the screen flashes so fast right back to the main screen and there is nothing as far as a log or anything about what it did or why it failed. This thing has to be the biggest pain ever... Ugh!
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
Any word on anything on this tablet? Still using it but would really really love root on it!
[Android General] neatojones:
Sorry, no reply for a while. My wife broke my tablet a while back and so I don't use it anymore. The digitizer broke when she dropped it onto concrete. I've dissected it for fun since then and managed to break it further. I might eventually decide to buy an HDMI cord and try to find a way to use it with CHEAPCAST for an extra tv, but I'm not really sure if I'll ever find a purpose for it.

So, unfortunately, for now...my work on the tablet is done.
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
Thats a bummer. I have pretty much given up any hope of this ever being rooted myself. I dont even really see much info on the web about them at all either. I think most the talk about them has been right here. lol

Oh well, I have pretty much given it to my soon to be 5 year old for playing his learning games on and stuff. Would still be nice to get root though.... Maybe someday.
[Android General] true:
I know this thread is a bit old, but just wanted to update since I just got a few of these tablets.

On the old version of this device in the thread (the 1.2GHz A31s version), Root Genius works.
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
The one that you could buy at Radioshack this Black Friday, for $50, is the NB07, and Root Genius worked danged near instantly. The Drivers I used were located in the TP718AQ_Update_Firmware.rar that was linked earlier in the post. The only thing I had to do was alter the android_usb.inf so it would use this driver for this device. This edit is as follows...

In the section Google.NTx86, below the labeling for the LG Eve, I added these lines

;Nobis
%SingleAdbInterface% = androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_2922&PID_8005
Android ADB=androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_2922&PID_8005&REV_0233&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_2922&PID_8001
Android ADB=androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_2922&PID_8001&REV_0233&MI_01

This allows ADB to be assessed via MTP setting on tablet, or the USB Large Storage option (not sure why you would ever use that option however, unless plugging into an older computer and wanting it to be seen as simply a flash storage drive, negating the simplicity of raw file management, by even having ADB enabled)

If ANYONE wants a dump of this tablet, please respond with the commands or PM me, however if PM, don't expect a reply on a speedy timeframe, I rarely check them.

-Onoitsu2

P.S. When you open Superuser, for the first time, it will immediately notify you that SU needs to be updated, select NORMAL, it will do its thing, and also crash, don't worry, simply wait about 10 seconds for it to finish its task and then run it again and all will be well with the world. You can even check in 'adb shell' by running the 'su' command, you will see the expected # at the prompt versus $.

Nobis NB07 Radioshack root

I just rooted my nobis nb07 bought from RadioShack android 4.2.2 ( I notice they now have same model with android 4.4 if anyone one can backup and upload if you have that version). I had to use both iroot and kingo root. At first I tryed to root with Kingo but no go, then with Iroot that worked but installed some Chinese programs and kinguser which I didn't like so I ran kingo root again and it worked this time (kinguser was replaced with supersu). I uninstalled Chinese programs and installed and updated supersu.
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
If anyone wants the rooted (with superuser as the managment app, instead of kinguser) I have them all hosted on my hard drive plugged into my router.

You can obtain the .img files at the following url...

https://onoitsu2.no-ip.org:4443/shares/USB_Storage/TabletImages/

Disregard the browser warning, it is because it is not encrypted but my router hosts it as https, go figure.

I also will be putting the drivers into that location in their own folder.

Hoping this benefits those more advanced users to create awesome things for this device. Beware if you try to write over the boot image, it will only show the a31s logo and that is all, unless it is a success, and I have been as of yet been unable to locate fastboot drivers for this device.

And advice for fastboot drivers is much appreciated.
[Android General] Talysdaddy:
I'm helping someone that has a Nobis NB7850 S, its the 7.85" version, nearly identical dimensions of an iPad Mini, but with different specs of course, Quad Core 1.2, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM w/ microSD slot w/ max of 32GB, 7.85" screen, 1024x768 res, 4.4 Kit Kat, not bad for $30.. Anyways, after a bit of light digging, I found RootGenius http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ a simple one-click root process. It even installed drivers for me, one of the easiest roots I've done.

Hope this helps someone :good:
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
We have been using root genius to root the ones mentioned in OP. But drivers for fastboot are different than simply adb.
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
Really sucks my kid lost my tablet as I gave up trying to root it but like to give it another go.

Also, that root genius is all in Chinese and it wants to install some other junk on my computer. Wish they would make english versions of this stuff and not make it install a ton of garbage on your computer.
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
There is an english version. I will upload to my dropbox tomorrow and link here. I am too tired, and should have been asleep a couple of hours ago... lol
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
That would be great! Thank you. :)
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
Here it is straight from my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5gy4iwiis4p8b34/RootGenius_en.exe?dl=0

Hope it helps the root movement... lol
[Android General] ecraiger:
which image file do I need? I have the Radio Shack version. TIA
[Android General] Onoitsu2:
Image file? That is a dump of each partition on its own. Seeing as there is no twrp or other bootloader that is capable of nandroid backups that is the best we have, unless someone can get fastboot working then I will gladly risk my tablet to test bootloaders. Already had one die and exchanged out due to messing with the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

I might be able to install online nandroid and back up the tablet, but with no restoral method known, ... ... why even do that?
[Android General] roots-bloody-roots:
This is a complement to the previous post on how to access the tablet using adb on Windows by Onoitsu2:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57124789&postcount=44

For those working on Linux, this is how I accessed the tablet on Ubuntu 12.04.

To check that the tablet is connected to the computer via USB, in the Terminal simply type:

lsusb

The output should contain something like:

Bus 00X Device 00Y: ID 2922:8005

(for NB07 in media device MTP mode)

Bus 00X Device 00Y: ID 2922:8043

(for NB07 in camera PTP mode)

Bus 00X Device 00Y: ID 2922:8001

(for NB07 in USB storage mode)

2922 being the manufacturer number, I added the rule to the relevant file by typing:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

and adding the following lines in the file (replace the YOUR_USERNAME portion, keep the quotes):

#Nobis
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2922", MODE="0666", OWNER=“YOUR_USERNAME”

Save and close the file. Activate the changes by typing:

sudo service udev restart

A similar procedure was sufficient to get my HTC phone recognized. However, for the NB07 I also needed to add the information to the adb_usb.ini file. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal

echo "0x2922" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

alternatively, if you prefer, find adb_usb.ini and open it using your favorite text editor and add the following line

0x2922

at the end of the file.

That is it. Checking that the tablet is accessible by adb can be done by running the following command:

adb devices
[Android General] Hippie459MN:
Well, I can say I have successfully rooted my Nobis NB07 tablet today and am running SuperSU on it! Couldnt be happier and only took a little over a year. haha!

I will post up my directions later today but I used iRoot (Formerly vRoot and also in English). I then installed SuperSU from the app store and updated the binaries then was able to remove Kinguser.

Oh yeah, my kid found my tabled about 2 weeks ago so I was hard at it again today. lol
[Android General] roots-bloody-roots:
Ok, this is a little ironic but it turns out we had root access to the tablet all along since post #2 by the OP. It only took me four months to realize that.

Below, in PART 1, is how NOT to root the tablet (if you choose not to do so) and, in PART 2, how to root it by hand (if you still want to root it).

PART 1: How to access everything on the tablet, including /system

without rooting it

.

As mentionned in the by the OP. There is an image of the firmware of a similar tablet that can be obtained on www: iviewus.com/firmware788TPC/ Get the file.

Burn the image onto an SD card with PhoenixCard using the

startup

option.

Boot the tablet from the SD card: Insert card, press (and keep pressed) the return button, turn the tablet ON, release the return button as soon as you see the A31 logo.

Troubleshooting:

The A31 boots slightly differently from the other Allwinner chipsets. More info here: linux-sunxi.org/BROM if you are interested. You should see an "IVIEW" logo during the boot and you should be able to acess two of the partitions on the SD card once it is booted. If you see the NOBIS logo and get an error saying damaged SD card, you did not boot from the SD, try again and make sure you are not booting in "Quick Boot Mode".

You might not realize it yet, but you are essentially done. Congratulations!

What just happened is that you booted the boot partition on the SD card which, as it turns out, loads a rooted kernel and ramdisk to your RAM. The nice thing is that the rest of the system is mounted from your own NAND partitions. This is why everything looks the same. Nevertheless, you can have full access to your tablet using ADB.

If you want to modify /system on your NAND. Connect the tablet to your computer via USB and fire up adb. The following commands will enable writing to /system:

adb kill-server
adb root
adb remount

Enjoy.

Note that the tablet is NOT rooted and that restarting it will bring you back to normal. You might decide that you do not need to root it any more at this stage. Otherwise you can use your full access to permanently root the tablet by hand.

PART 2: How root the tablet by hand

Install superSU from the Play Store with your tablet booted normally. It will complain about missing su binaries if you try to start it. We will fix that in the following.

On your computer, access the 805 MB system partition of the SD card (an ext4 filesystem, mounted from /dev/mmcblk0p7 on my Linux) and copy the su binary from the /xbin directory onto your computer (in the same directory where you have adb). Alternatively, get the su binary from any other source you trust.

Restart the tablet as in PART 1 and follow all the instructions to get rw on /system.

Run the following code in your shell (bash or CMD.exe):

adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb reboot

Done, you are rooted. After restart, you can let superSU update the su binary and you are all set.

PS. I am not allowed to post links, I am too new here. I hope it is not an issue.
[Android General] roots-bloody-roots:
I tried to make a new initlogo.rle using rgb2565.

I converted a png file to raw file first using:

convert -depth 16 initlogo.png rgb:initlogo.raw

followed by conversion with rgb2565.

rgb2565 < initlogo.raw > initlogo.rle

After including it into the bootimage, I eventually got the logo to be displayed at boot time. However the colors are off. I was wodering if anyone else have a similar experience and where is that I went wrong.
[Android General] romeo501:
Congratulations, I know it's been a long time since you've posted on this thread but taking a chance anyways, would you have a copy of the original ROM for NB07 tablet? If so, could you please leave or send a link to a download? Would greatly appreciate it.

I put the firmware 788TPC from iviewus Tablet but the cam and wifi don't work. Sorry for my bad english

thank
[Android General] roots-bloody-roots:
As mentionned in my post on previous page here.

A very easy way to gain root is to:

1. Put the firmware 788TPC you already downloaded to an SD card. Do not flash the tablet with it.

2. Boot from the SD card.

3. Profit.

This will boot your Nobis internal partition (camera and wifi OK), but in a permissive (almost rooted) mode until next reboot. You have the full rights from the shell, including pushing the su binary to your system partition and running SuperSU to permanently root it. All of the details (too much even) to do it step-by-step are in my post.
[Android General] blakegriplingph:
Sorry for the bump, but I happen to own a rebadged NB07 as well. Kingcom sold it here in Asia as the Joypad Q71, and it's basically the same Inet Q70-based banana apart from having an AP6210 wifi/BT module. A friend of mine did a ROM dump of it, fortunately, and Curt54 was able to cobble up a working compatibility zip for the tab to run CM11 (though it did suffer from a standby bug).

I was wondering if anyone here's still up to developing things for Inet-tek's Q70, and if so I am more than willing to test things for you guys. ;)
