[General Questions and Answers] sdesignz:
wow thank you for the quick reply!

i am trying to do the back up to my rom but the MTKdroidTools does not recognize my device when i plug in with the usb cable to the pc

EDIT: ok i run the the .zip file named dopo7088stk and this is what it says:

install/sdcard...

finding update package...

opening update package...

verifying update package...

installation aborted.
[General Questions and Answers] oscarblue48:
Mtkdroid tools only works with mediatek devices (with a mediatek chip eg mt6577, mt6589 etc) so will not work with your device:(

What actually is wrong with your tablet?
[General Questions and Answers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Sorry Then i can't help... But you can try to do factory reset from CWM REcovery... If this helps then you can boot normally.. If this too doesn't works then you will have to give it to SVC.....
[General Questions and Answers] sdesignz:
but to do a cwm recovery i need the tablet drivers isn't it?

and i don't have them :/

:(

it freezes in the operating system start logo, or shows me a box that says: Android is upgrading, Optimizing app 1 of 39, but never pass the 1, it stays there for hours without anything happening. I already tried using the system recovery but it did not work, i tried with diferent roms but nothing :/, i don't have the warranty paper, i guess i'm ****ed :C
[General Questions and Answers] oscarblue48:
Can you get into the recovery menu and do factory reset or anything else??

I guess you've tried resetting via the reset button?

There doesn't appear to be a stock rom available for the GS-918 on the Dopo website, have you contacted them to see if they are able to help?

You could try leaving the tablet on when it freezes until the battery runs right down and it turns off, then put it on charge and try it again, not much else I can think of at the moment:(
[General Questions and Answers] sdesignz:
yes i can do everything but it doesn't fix anything :C

and yes, i've tried the ressetting via reset button.

i can swear you there is no dopo GS-918 model drivers or rom in the whole web u.u

I contacted them but they only told me about the recovery menu, and i send them a question but they haven't answered me yet.

:(((((

now the pc recognizes the tablet via usb, well, it recognized first like vid_1f3a_pid_efe8_driver, then it disappeared and recognized a M3-CHIP driver but with errors (The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver, blabla.)

so i think i need to find the M3-CHIP driver isn't?

EDIT:

I let the battery ran out, and now shows me the box that says: Android is upgrading, Optimizing app 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 of 39, but never pass the 7 now, then i restart the tablet againt, and say: optimizing app 20 of 23, but it freezes,then i restart the tablet... againt, and say: optimizing app 1 of 7, i restart again the tablet, and then it freezes in the first logo forever, the end :C

So, i think one of those last applications is creating the conflict

EDIT 2:

so, now im stuck in the system recovery, i choose reboot system now, and again, i am in System recovery , even if i only press the + volume or -, with the tablet off, it boots automaticly the system recovery :S
[General Questions and Answers] oscarblue48:
I think its banjaxed mate, I think your only hope is if the manufacturer is willing to help you, there are no files available anywhere that I can find, the only thing that might have fixed it is a factory reset, and I guess that is not working from your recovery menu?

Is it out of the question to return it to Dopo?

I suppose you could try running the battery right down again, then leaving it for a while and then restarting again, and keep doing that in the hope that it fires up as its supposed to, but to be honest I have my doubts that it will.

Sorry I cant be of any more help.:(
[General Questions and Answers] sdesignz:
well i contacted the dopo tech support guy , to see if i can do something else, i guess there is no mucho to do now, maybe i could sell the tablet for parts :C

too bad because i just have 4 months with it, at least i learned something about android, do a f ucking backup and enable debugging mode xd

thanks for all your help and the given support :D.

I apreciate your replies and now i know a litte bit of this kind of topics :cool:.
[General Questions and Answers] NeoH4x0r:
The factory reset on these models (DOPO/nobis/apex) only re-initialize the data/cache partitions it will not touch/fix the system partition.

Based on the gist of the initial post -- the only solution is to send the tablet to the factory so that they can reload the firmware.

I am in the same boat right now...

Originally I had some file system errors on the internal nand (on APEX GS-918) that caused the boot animation to loop endlessly -- because I had 'USB Debugging' enabled' I was able to open a adb shell

and run fsck/e2fsck and fix it.

But I have a similar problem now (possibly due to adding an option in build.prop) and also disabled 'USB Debugging' and

I can no longer use adb to open a shell during the boot logo.

PS: I hate to necro a thread -- but people need to know that the issue, described, is by-design........they want you to send it in the factory.

When doing a factory reset, any respectable stock recovery, should restore the system partition.

PPS: I do not believe you can install and update in the stock recovery that attempts to write to the system partition.

I believe that can only be handled by using various amlogic tools (such as amlogic usb burning tool, which requires the firmware image that we don't have)

Anyone tried the latest build B3? I can't find the changelog here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] toxicdust:
Ok some notes and testing done. This is now on Build Beta 3 20140404 and Full PA Gapps Build 20140405

1. Battery drain very quick in Idle. Batterymix claims its chrome so might need to look into that. The process is "chrome:sandboxed_process6"

2. GPS works fine on my side. I can get a GPS fix almost instantly. I stay in South Africa so it could be localised to certain areas that the GPS isn't working correctly.

3. 2 Days use now I had the echo issue only once. Call quality isn't bad. The echo happens before the call is connected. When the phone is still dialing when you speak you hear the echo yourself as if the mic is just being passed through to the speaker directly. Stopping the call and dialing again seem to resolve that and like stated it only happened once.

4. There seem to be a wakelock that keeps on waking the phone up the whole time. It could be kernel related but havent tested that to be able to tell definitively.

5. Phone seem to be defaulted to "USB Debugging" and needs to be disabled before the phone can be used as a media device. Maybe set the default to off?

Potential Wakelock issue reffered to at number 4 above
