Onda V975M is desperately in need of a good ROM dev!

Yes, he has done a fabulous job with developing and refining ROMs for the AMLogic 8726 dual-core based tablets.

If Onda were aware of him and had any sense, they'd gift him a couple of units to play with!

Thier current ROM releases are utter garbage, which is a shame for such great hardware - I am sure thier sales would go up dramatically after stable ROMs fettled by Christian were available.

I donated to him before, as thanks for all his efforts, as I downloaded and used his CM10.2 ROM for my old Ainol Aurora 2.

I was very very grateful, as it completely transformed the device!

I'd bung him £15 (and I hope other people would too) if he would have a bash at improving the V975M ROMs.

rozak, from forum v975m.com may have found a way to unbrick the tablets that were bricked while trying to update... He is asking for people to teste and send feedback... Here is the link to the post with the unbricking instructions: http://www.v975m.com/forum/threads/138-Brick-and-now?p=1567&viewfull=1#post1567
[Device Reviews and Information] rozak:
I would like to request something:

If any of you has tried my unbricking instructions, please give me feedback.

I need to know the success rate, and also the situations in which unbricking fails!

Please give feedback either in this thread, or in v975.com related threads.

Regards,

Dear all,

I have posted a new version of my roms.

This version includes the modified aml_autoscript, that hopefully avoids the bricking problem during rom update.

You can find them in the usual threads:

- For JellyBean (Android 4.3) here: http://www.v975m.com/forum/threads/59-ONDA-V975m-V1-amp-V3-custom-ROM-by-rozak-(v1-1-0-based)

Please give me feedback either in this thread, or in v975.com threads.

I just want to understand something, can I recommend this tablet as a gift ? is is stable enough or you must play with rom flashing?
[Device Reviews and Information] MB525:
I cannot recommend it for people who just want a working device, IMHO.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
:(,

I hope soon they will make more stable Rom, I advised my friends to order it, I hope I am not going to be in troubles...

I am 1 click away to order the 16GB version, for it's price there is no other tablet that matches it's specs.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Sure you can.

For me only root is required, which is a simple process and can help with removing unnecessary Chinese apps.

[Device Reviews and Information] eteles:
For the tab to be really great, you should uninstall at least the chinese apps (needs root) and install nova launcher... than, you will have my recommendations...
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
If so, This is great news!

Root and uninstalling Chinese apps it's easy and I always do it, I was just concerned from special custom ROM flashing and brick/unbrick, for me it's fun, for other new users its scary.

thank you.

You can preorder same tablet with an Intel CPU. In China they are $180 USD

I just wonder how the ROM's will be and if there will be much custom development for it

A quick question for people who flashed custom Rozak Rom.

I am trying to make my sdcard bootable, but I don't know if I did it correct. Will I brick my tablet if I try to flash the Rom or in worse scenario it won't do anything?

It seems that there is a new version of Amlogic USB burning tool (v2.0.0.140306).

Has any body located it? Is it legimate?

Has anybody tried it? Specialy in Windows 8.1?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Finally I made it by reflashing with custom Rom 1.10

After 2 reboots everything was working fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] falc0:
I am still ****ed. Mine bricked when flashing. I was flashing rozak 2.0.1 enough after an hour he was still .flashing. so I pushed power button for 10sec. Now tab does not do anything anymore. Even not indicate it is being charged. When I connect it to pc and power on I see nothing on screen and pc does not detect it. Dead as dead can be. So aml burning tool is not an option for me :(

[Device Reviews and Information] rozak:
There is a solution, but you need to open the tablet:

1. Remove the aluminium back of the tablet (use something like a guitar pen - I personally use my thumb nail!)

2. Download this file: config_progress_erase_my.xml and unrar it into the Amlogic Burning Tool directory.

3. Prepare a bootable sd card and unzip the ROM files in it (you can prepare the card with this tool: SDcardMaker_English.rar. Use the u-boot.bin from the ROM you are going to install with this tool!

4. Start Amlogic Burning Tool (ImageBurnTool.exe) and from the File menu, Load Config, load the xml file config_progree_erase_my.xml

5. Remove sd card from tablet's slot (this is important).

6. Connect tablet to PC.

7. If you need to install drivers, install the drivers from _DRIVER directory of Amlogic Burn Tool.

8. If PC does not beep (it does not recognize the tablet - not even as unknown device), then proceed as follows:

a. Check the cpu temperature with your finger. It should feel warm.

b. Press <Power> for nearly 30-60 sedonds until the cpu starts feeling cold.

c. Let it rest for a minute or two. The cpu should feel cold now. Now it is really off.

d. Locate the two nand chips on the right of the board (as you look to it from the back, with the usb port on the left).

e. Use a metal pin to bridge (short) the pins 7 & 8 of any of the nand chips. The pin 1 is bottom left as you look at it. Start counting to the right.

f. With the pins 7 & 8 shorted, press the power button. After a while you should here a bleep from Windows and Amlogic Burn Tool should ercognize the tablet. If you need to install drivers, do it.

h. You may need to repeat this part again and again. It is not working every time, for reasons unknown to me.

9. Now that Amlogic Burning Tool has recognized the tablet, proceed as follows:

a. Put the sd card you have prepared in step 3, in tablets sd card slot.

b. Press the START button in Amlogic Burning Tool.

c. After the tablet reboots observer the tablet screen. It may take up to three minutes to start flashing!

d. If nothing happens after five minutes, check again CPU temperature. If it is cold, power it on by pressing <Power>&<Volume+> simultaneously.Release the buttons when use see the green robot. You may need to press buttons for 2 minutes!

Please inform us on the results.

This tablet is worth to buy?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
For the money that costs, yes it does.

Ram seems to be a problem though.

I have all the time only 300-400mb, which makes the whole system quite slow.

From 1.5gb that it has for Ram, only 300mb are usually left at my system.

And this after using a few internet applications and widgets (no Facebook).

That's a good reason, but you can use rozak's safer update script and procedure if you want to give it a shot... The script helps in case something goes wrong if you need to unbrick it... But that probably wont be necessary if you use rozak update script...

There are some android TV box devices using this amlogic chip now. Perhaps more code can be borrowed for this tablet. Tronsmart has a box. I think its the Vega s89 or something. And there's at least one more out there
[Device Reviews and Information] krepler:
Also, the Geniatech(MyGica) ATV1800. Been waiting for the release for at least 5 months now!

The chipsets should be the same, or at least similar, but they're named according to platform..

M802 is what's used in the tablets. M for mobile (MIT).

S802 is what's going into TV boxes. S for Set-Top(STB).

I agree though, hopefully the information available for the M chips can be used with the S chips and viceversa.

How much of an improvement is rozak's ROM anyways? Does it eliminate the annoying slow responses the stock ROM has?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
I am using custom 1.10 by Rozak.

In general it gives much better response to the whole system.

It's rooted, YouTube, mx player etc play excellent.

Only problem is the ram management for this tablet.

With JB it finishes too fast and then system becomes show.

I didn't try, but some say that kit kat rims roms are better for that.

Dear friends - I need your help,

My friend just got this tablet - He has some probems with the stock rom:

1: Error-"System UI has stopped working" if Hebrew interface language chosen.

2: YouTube HD video playback is really bad -lags and drop FPS.

3: UI sometimes laggy

I have attached the build version image- What do you recommend? Can he click the "check for updates" and update via OTA ?

He is not expert android user- so complicated methods not recommended.

Thanks in ahead,
[Device Reviews and Information] eteles:
You will get rid of all the useless Chinese blotware...You will get nova launcher as default (stock launcher was removed) and the ROM is permanently rooted...

For me, version 2.0.1 is a lot faster and eliminates most of the slow responses... But I have v1 tablet... Seems that on v3 there are some issues with WiFi and bluetooth, but I'm not sure...

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

DO NOT UPDATE BY OTA OR ONDA'S OFFICIAL METHOD... Great risk of bricking...

For v3 tablet go to this link and follow rozak's instructions and provided files:http://www.ondaforum.com/files/file/47-onda-v975m-v3-v109-rozak-20140414/

Since you are on stock, just download the 2GB version... It's safer...
[Device Reviews and Information] neptune_:
Hi all,

I bought a V3 tablet and have some questions:

Does rozak's ROM come with official Google Play store? Where to get the remaining KitKat Google Apps from?

Is this v2.0.1 rom actually 'broken'? It says broken in the thread title --> http://www.ondaforum.com/files/file/40-onda-v975m-v3-v201-rozak-20140414/

Which is the recommended / preferred version to flash for V3 hardware?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] StridAst:
I just flashed rozaks 1.0.9. Play store is on it. Can't vouch for any other ROM. Mine is also a v3. I heard WiFi is much less stable on the 2.x.x Roms so that's something to consider. Rozak's 1.0.9. Seems to work *much* better then the stock ROM. The laggy stock ROM is horrible. 95% less lag on the rozak ROM. BTW only flash the 2gb application space ROM. NOT the 4gb. I would suggest waiting for the official KitKat ROM before experimenting much. These tablets brick easily.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Rozak himshelf proposes his 1.10 version, so better not to misinform people.

This is what I use and its 100% stable (4gb version for v3)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23160616/SDFormatterv4.zip

Case B - Clean install

If your tablet has 2GB /data partition (meaning your are NOT running one of my roms), then follow this procedure for the upgrade:

Follow these steps exactly:

1- Extract the .rar file of the ROM. You will get these files:
aml_autoscript
factory_update_param.aml
recovery.img
u-boot.bin
update.zip

2- Put an SD card of size up to 16GB in card reader.

3- Format the SD card with SDFormatter version 4 (hint: run this program as administrator).
You can download it from here: http://www.ondaforum.com/topic/148-sd-formatter-40-for-sdsdhcsdxc/

4- Make the SD card bootable with SDcardMaker_uboot tool.
You can download it from here: http://www.ondaforum.com/topic/29-sd-card-maker/
IMPORTANT: Select the u-boot.bin from the ROM you extracted in step 1.
Format the card when asked to by the SDcardMaker_uboot. Format must be FAT32 with 32KB cluster size.

5- Copy all the files you extracted in step 1 to SD card.

6- Safely remove the SD card from the computer (Very important!).

7- Power off the tablet by pressing <Power> button for 20 seconds.

8- Put the SD card into the tablet's card slot.

9- Press simultaneously AND HOLD the buttons <Power> and <Volume +>.

10- When the green droid appears (or after about 5 seconds if no droid appears) release ONLY <Power> button. Keep pressing <Volume+>.

11- After about 1-3 minutes you will see the big droid with the spinning cube. Now release the <Volume+> button.

12- When the update finishes, the tablet will reboot. As soon as you see the ONDA logo, you are in business.

1:I don't know about HDMI performance but I do know that if the tablet comes with old rom version YouTube FHD videos lags- solved by rom update.

I got mine yesterday, so it took about 3 weeks from the moment I clicked buy at pandawill,which isn't bad at all considering that I chose free shipping. The tablet itself is amazing, runs everything I throw at it with no lag. I tried riptide gp 2 and asphalt 8 on max and it ran super smooth. The screen is very crisp and sharp. Overall you can't beat this tablet for the price. It has Bluetooth and came updated to 4.3 out of the box with a nice screen protector pre applied. In fact I typed this from my new Onda!

How do you flash this?

TWRP flashing instructions:

1. With Root Explorer from Your tablet go at root /system and move (or delete) to other location file: "recovery-from-boot.p"

2. From Google Play Store install Rashr - Flash Tool (formely known as Recovery Tools)

3. In application Rashr choose "Flash Recovery"

4. And choose (of corse unpack) SciBees recovery.img

Thats it. If You change Your mind - You can flash back to old recovery (before flashing dont forget to make backup or just choose recovery.img that comes with firmware update).
