Clear guide how to flash a none-chinese ROM

Hello everybody.

I went through all the forums and searched the net from bottom to up but didn't find any clear guide.

How to get rid of the Chinese "Homecare" ROM and flash a clear ROM with GAPPS and rooted???

I only found something on the russian forum

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=550594

but it isn't very clear to me.

So is anybody able to put together a clear step by step guide?:D:D:D
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
So, hello there :D

I think I'll be able to translate this, especially since I came here from that forum. Going to do this tomorrow though - no time now. Until then - spread that tegra supertool should be never used with homecare tablets. It writes evga bootloader and kills every Homecare tablet.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
COOOOOL

Hello friend!

Wow, cool. That would be great if you could translate and explain step by step, how to flash.

I am quite experienced in hacking Android devices, but still I prefer to follow a good guide which is tested and works.

I already understood not to use the SuperTool at any time with the HomeCare device.

BTW are there any differences in HW and manufacturing quality between EVGA and Homacare?

Thanks a lot for support.

CHeers,

Jaro

Oh well, XDA won't let me post outgoing links untill I've reached 10 posts. Gotta go through other topics to get that, wait a bit.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
Just a quick update - I've finished translating the script for Homecare. Basically it is the supertool's functions, but done for homecare tablet. It is 615 mb though and I STILL can't post outgoing links. XDA's commenting system is quite unfair. Btw, anyone alive out there?

Instuctions on the Russian forum

Hi.

I was trying to understand the instructions on the Russian forum. GoogleTranslate gives me some help, but something doesn't make much sense :D

Orange ... if you can't post, we can figure out the English version of instructions and I can repost to the forum.

Let me know, I sent you a PM as well.

Thanks a lot you guys! Mind if I put this in front?

Questions:

In the 442 folder, what is HomecarePAP? Is it 4.4.2 stock ROM? It would be nice if there's an explanation for each of the files in the directory.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
So, in fact I have no idea about folders aside from the menthioned under the link (the small list right after the 4.4.2 download link). I do beleive that we don't need them as they are not menthioned in the whole instruction. The guess is that they are a mid-work products, not useable for us, ordinary users.

And yes, I have nothing against putting this post in front - it may actually help saving time for people coming here.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Instrunctions need some adjustments

Hi. I definetely agree, BUT AT FIRST I think the instructions need adjustments and clean-up. I will send a proposal to OrangeCalculator. After we agree on the correct procedure, I will test and re-post.

Cheers.

Jaro
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
Yes, I do think so too - my English is really not perfect and the whole thing was written in a hurry, so I will gladly use the adjustments and corrections from other users.

This is the supertool replacement for Homecare and I do beleive that it is the one preferable for the newbies. To download press "скачать" button under the green one.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
OrangeCalculator, no problem with your English. It is OK. Just the instructions seem to be messy from my point of view.

This SUPERTOOL, which version does it install? Is it 100% working?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
From what I got, while translating it, it installs either 4.3 or 4.4 - the choice is up to you. And it must be working - personaly I can't test it one more time because I have Vega tablet.

SD fix

Just wondering if the ROM has the SD fix or will the SD patch work for this version?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
It must have them, there are 2.1 and 2.3 fixes menthioned in the last changelog.

Yesterday I tested the supertool for Homecare. At first it looked quite well, but it did not work as expected. It installed the recovery, but I am not sure about the boot image. It also copied the backup into the sdcard and I was able to restore the system.

BUT when the tablet boot into Android, after some time (sometimes less then 1 minute, sometimes several minutes) freezes. Display remains on, but no reaction on touch or buttons. The only think which can be done, is to reboot by holding the power button for about 10 seconds.

Can this be a problem of boot image?

I even tried to repeat the procedure, but it didn't help.

Thank in advance for any help.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
It can easily be so, boot can cause different issues. I will connect with the script developer ASAP and try to work out the solution. While I do this - maybe redownload the archive - some files could be damaged in the first one?

P.S. It could greatly help if you described what you did step-by-step.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Freeje:
In reply to Tha T., I had no problems following the instructions of lees08 but I used the files for the EVGA 4.3 ROM since access to the SD card is important to me.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Is it already brick???

Hello.

So now it looks like I am completely f****d.

CWM recovery was working, 4.3 was flashed but it always froze after a few minutes.

So I downloaded the deodex 4.3 from RootJunky and flashed it via CWM.

Now the tablet is in boot loop and I can't access recovery.

The only think I managed to do is to push VOLUME+ and VOLUME- and POWER and get into APX mode.

What can I do now? Any help?

Thanks.

Jaro

PS: If I push only VOLUME+ and POWER, it doesn't start recovery. This combination seems to never work with my table.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
Okay, I contacted the author and this is what I got.

First of all - what happens, when you use volume up+power on the switched off tablet? It shouldn't be recovery, it should be bootloader - the list of options and recovery is the "recovery kernel" option. Recovery won't boot if the tablet is in the bootloop, thus you should hold power until the black screen and then use the above combination.

Second - he suggests to install ADB driver and check ADB devices. It is better to be the number of yours there. Also, were the USB debug on when you flashed th tablet? And, once again, can you give us the precise list of what you did flashing tablet? It can greatly help in finding a mistake!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Brick ...

Thanks for your effort, but my Homecare behaves from the beginning a little bit different (don't ask me why) and that's why those suggestions are not working:

First of all, the damn think can't be switched of. If I hold the power for a few seconds (approx. two boot cycles) the screen turns black. BUT as soon as I release the power button, the boot-loop starts again. No way to turn it off.

As I mentioned the button combination VOLUME+ and POWER never worked with this piece. The screen only remained black, but no options (Kernel Recovery and blablabla). I saw someone else mentioned this in a forum post as well.

My ADB and Fastboot was running OK, I unlocked the bootloader, no issues.

I could enter bootloader OR recovery using adb's reboot command. As I mentioned, the bootloader was just black screen with no options.

Second. I started the script. In that time ADB driver was OK, bootloader has been already unlocked, and of course USB debugging was ON. I was going through the script. The recovery was flashed, then it rebooted into recovery and asked me to install ZIP from sdcard. But there was no ZIP file anywhere. The upload must have failed.

What ever ... I finished "somehow" the flashing process using the script. Everything was OK. CWM running (I made a back up BTW), OS booting. I installed the 4.3 version from the script. Everything looked good, unless I found out that the tablet freezes after a few moments. Sometimes almost immediately, sometimes after a few minutes.

Well then I didn't the final wrong step. I downloaded the deodex 4.3 ROM from RootJunky and flashed it via CWM.

Since then the tablet is in boot-loop.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
I sent it, so now we shall wait a bit. Also, I've seen the topic about tegras freezing after a few seconds, and people there may have worked out the solution. In the meantime, check if your device is still seen by adb, this is really impotant!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Hello.

Thanks for you great support!!!

Well I am not able to get the ADB connection. The device is either in bootloop or in APX mode, nothing else.

There still might be a working recovery, however I can't access. I tried the button combination hundred times, but no success. Either APX or bootloop. And by holding the power for a long time, it doesn't switch the device off. Just "waits" until the button is released and then starts booting immediately.

I'll check other posts.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Finally a working solution

OK, so finally dear user hacktrix2006 pointed me to a simple reflash solution.

My preconditions:

Chinese Homecare Fly One, Android 4.2.2

Bootloader can't be accessed by button combination AND if accessed via ADB, it was only a black screen

Target:

Get rid of the Chinese version of OS

How did I mess it up:

I went through all the posts, installed ADB and Fastboot driver, unlocked bootloader, tried this and that, finally reflashed a ROM found on RootJunky's web and off I went into a loop boot. ADB of course not working and also not possible to access recovery. Only available mode was APX mode.

How did I fix it:

To be honest, for the first time in "my Android life" I was thinking about sending the devices to a workshop ignominiously admitting, that I flamingoed it up. (It is the same as **** up, just much much bigger.) And then somebody advised me of a post made by hacktrix2006 which redirected me to ADVENT Vega Webpage. Downloaded the image (the ZIP also contains the APX driver) and the instructions, did what they say and in a few minutes the tablet was alive again!!!

OTA working, no trouble found until now.

So? Forget about all those CMD, ADB, bootloader, flashing recovery, this and that. If you just want to get rid of a Chinese version of OS and have the Google supported, or if you just bricked your Tegra Note 7, just do this! (unless you give a **** about the boot logo, which will now be ADVENT VEGA instead of Homecare :laugh:)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] OrangeCalculator:
Great, I am really happy for you now :D This thing made my tablet work better too - not yet useable, but already booting up to language selection.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Tablet OK so far

I can confirm that my Homecare Fly One is doing well after two days of usage. I don't see any problems with Wifi, battery, GPS, OTA or anything else. I updated to the last status (4.4.2 with some patches, everything over OTA).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Freeje:
Hi! How's the tablet going? Still running smooth?

Got the same Homecare model.. The pins of the micro USB port got broken and I sent it back for repair. I was surprised that they replaced the tablet. I tried upgrading the ROM to 4.3 but when it restarted I get an error message (red triangle). Tried to download the ROM 3-4 times but got the same error message. I'm thinking of doing the same thing as you did 'cause got tired of jumping through all those hoops to get the Chinese ROM replaced.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Hello Freeje.

The process described above (using the Advent VEGA ROM) works flawlessly. I tested it on 6 Homecare Tablets without any trouble.

In addition I did following:

0. Reflash the Advent VEGA ROM

1. Install all available OTA updates.

2. Use SuperTool (latest version) to install TWRP and root.

3. Use SUperTool (latest version) to install SDcard fix. Truly works compared to the official attempts.

3. Install Xposed framework.

4. Install GravityBox and tune the OS.

Result is NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 with Android 4.4.2, TWRP recovery, rooted, SD card working properly and the system is tuned. It works without any problems since June.

With non-stock-recovery you won't be able to install any new OTAs.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
Please dont give out false information

The latest TWRP recovery created by me allows installation of OTA provided it is stock ROM you have installed
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Hello Shaky.

I don't give false information. I said that one month ago I used the latest version of SuperTool (without mentioning the version number) to install TWRP and it does not allow to install OTA updates.

Is the new version which allows it past of the latest (up to this date) version of SuperTool?

Thanks for the notification though.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Freeje:
Hi Jaro,

Did you install on a system with WIn8 or Win7. I have Win8 and it wont let me install the APX drivers. Will have to use one with Win7. How do you install the APX drivers one one with Win7?

Hello there,

my N7 second Gen device unfortunately got damaged during transport. The small bezel between screen and back case of the device got cracked at one corner.

A search did not bring up any results concerning repair options or parts, therfore I would be very happy for any advice what I can do to fix my tablet. Is the bezel available as a replacement part (I hope so), or is more nescessary?

Best regards

Hans

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] exxi:
Hey, my S200 shows unusual battery drainage behaviour. it seems like if the battery empties to fast. I have the newest DOPOD rom and some programs like Pocket plus, diary and weather running.

Let me give you an example, If I have just finished charing the device and it displays a battery charge of 100% I unplug it and 1 minute later it goes down by 1% to 99 - an additional minute and the battery meter displays 98. By the end of the day i seem to have a charge of maybe 40% while using the device for maybe 1 hour intensly and the rest just phone standby with maybe 2 calls of 2 min avrg length.

On top i noticed that the left side of the device gets a littel warm when I am using the device extensively or charging it. Is that also normal?

Whats the deal with my device? i dont know a whole lot about pda's. Is that a normal power consumption?

How can I measure if my device performs well in terms of CPU speed because I have the feeling it also runs slow.

Thanks a lot

I have been playing around with CM11 based roms, and while they are nice overall I am missing the functionality and steadiness of the MJ9 roms. The two functions I love about CM11 are the pulsing LED, and the fact that Slacker Radio and other apps display the track information over bluetooth to my car radio. With MJ9 roms, only the stock player will show this info. I listen to Slacker in my car for a few hours daily, and having that track info is real nice. Are there any 4.3 roms out there, or any hacks/add-ons that will allow me to have these two functions?

I carry naked and also notice that the buttons scrape the casing which is awful. Therefore I buy a pair of stick on sponge (removable) to heighten at the strategic locations inside and outside and am pleased with the results. After mths of usage, I am happy to say that it still looks brand new no matter what angle of view I view my set. Well put in special pouch with smooth cushion(very soft that cannot scratch the surfaces) is also an essential element for my case. Well if u prefer another option.

Did you do a clean flash before? That problem may cause by a dirty flash

Clean flash:

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe data/factory reset

Format system

Format data

Format cache

Format data and /data/media

Flash rom

Flash gapps

Reboot

Make sure you already have the latest gapps for your rom. Gapps can causing errors too.

Then everything will do as the rom can. And if the issue still persist, it's a bug from the rom. Only dev can fixed it.

This phone seems amazing to me and in a few weeks I'll have enough money to buy it. I need some input, if I were to buy it now what is the best website to do it on or if I should just wait for the p7 even though it may cost more money.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] heross:
You will 4,7"? Then is P6 a very good choice.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
For right now, then yes its a excellent device. But comparing it with phones to come in 2014, then its too early to say but clearly the internal specs of p6 would become slightly outdated. P7 would be releasing by April and if it retains the exterior premium feel, then it is better to wait if your not in urgent need to buy the phone now.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] abequer:
If you like it, buy it. It's a really grate phone. Of course, the longer you take to decide, the closest you'll get to know about a better one and the closest you'll get to P7.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zemega:
Its a great phone, but P7 sounds like a greater phone. I'm not sure about your country, but here in my country, we have shops that stocks thousands of phones directly from the official retailer and sells cheaper than the retail price, and dont worry, its original set. Instead of RM 1400 retail price, I bought it for RM 945. Thats 33% off, not to mention the free gifts. If you're somewhere in South East Asia, it might be worth it to ask someone to buy it from Malaysia.
