{Solved}I have an Azpen A727 i bought from MicroCenter that I bricked.

I found out the solution to unbrick the tablet. First you need the firmware for the version of Android your A727 came with (Jelly Bean or KitKat) which i will provide the links for or you can request from Azpen (which i did and got a response for in 30min), 2nd you need a flashing tool called PheonixUSBPro and a "key" to flash your firmware on the bricked tablet.

1. Follow the instructions on this page for flashing firmware and downloading PhoenixUSBPro here http://www.azpenpc.com/download/detail.php/id-2.html or use the Backup here https://drive.google.com/folderview...JrLUZEYTFjOVF2ajJISy1pdkVCSTgzVlk&usp=sharing

2. a. Firmware and "Key" for A727 Jelly Bean https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B53yZ1fbVqxJVnNFSkY2cjFoRjQ&usp=sharing

b. Firmware and "Key" for A727 KitKat (For some reason we have two different versions. If one doesn't work try the other)https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B53yZ1fbVqxJZGx2SDVPcWhsWmM&usp=sharing

Note: If anyone is having trouble with PhoenixUSBPro detecting your tablet try holding down the power button and plugging in your tablet from the micro-USB side then press the power button 10 times. Then Windows should be installing the driver so PhoenixUSBPro should detect it now. It worked for me in Windows 7.

If anyone has any problems let me know :). Thank you [MENTION=4611599]viper2110[/MENTION] for providing the community with the KitKat firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buellonsholes:
bricked as well

Were you able to get the device working again?

I bricked mine messing with it today and am trying to fix it.

Have the stock recovery so far if you still need it let me know. xda wont let me attach for some reason
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Yep i fixed it. I edited the first post with the solution ;) :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buellonsholes:
thank you

still trying to figure out adb, livesuit, and eclipse all at once but here we go.

nothing like jumping in and just figuring out whats what lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buellonsholes:
no luck

Can 't figure out why but after trying many times phoenixpro fails me (trying to use key but red button and green button both arent there)

livesuit wont run either unsure why

only thing i have up and running is sdk manager and im working on learning the steps with it

anyone who can help it would be appreciated. using a windows 8

3) Select the ROM that you want to flash to your A700.

4) Hold down the Vol button on your device (I usually hold it down Vol-, not Vol+, but I believe that this device does not matter which.)

5) While holding down Vol, plug the micro-USB end of the cable into your A700. Keep holding down the Vol button.

6) While still holding down the Vol button, WITH the USB cable now connected between your computer and your A700, press and release the A700's Power button 10 times, and wait for a second to a few.

7) The LiveSuit program will detect your A700 going into download mode and begin prompting you for what to do.

8) Follow LiveSuit's recommendations, including formatting. It will take less than 5 minutes.

This wasn't clear to me from the original post.

However I followed the original link and figured it out.

Hope that clears it up for anyone else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buellonsholes:
.....

i'm feeling really dumb here i read that too and am pretty sure i have gotten it into this mode. but its the livesuit software thats the problem i cant get that or the other ones i mentioned to even run. anything i do get to run (phoenix and sdk) dont seem to run correctly. windows 8 is annoying me this week. im trying to get one of my old windows 7 computers up and running and ill try again i guess
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Im pretty sure LiveSuit wont work on the A727 because the CPU is different. The A727 uses an Allwinner thats why we have to use PhoenixUSBPro. Sorry for my late response I dont have internet anymore so I got lucky today getting online, lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarezAppz:
Yeah, sorry I was using PhoenixUSBPro, guilty of not mentioning that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Anyone else have any luck unbricking the A727 with this method?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarezAppz:
Look what I ran across

SDK for Allwinner CPUs?

Now will this aid in someone creating a Android 4.4 image for an Azpen a1023 or at least a custom CWM or TWRP? for one?

answer soon back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
I dont know but BLuFeNiX started this thread where he did a CWM for an A700 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532464
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarezAppz:
Yeah I was aware of that, but that's for an A700

and I am actually interested in A1023, not sure the A700 will work for the A1023

Question. Frozen after reimage.

Hi all! I was able to reimage my A727 with PhoenixUSBPro and the firmware and key linked in the OP, but when it reboots and comes up to the initial screen, it's frozen. Won't take any input. The only thing I can do is force a shutdown with the power button. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
I dont know. Have you tried pressing the reset button?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMBackstrom:
Yup, tried the reset button and resetting back to factory. Still frozen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMBackstrom:
I just redownloaded everything from the OP onto a Win 7 Pro x86, instead of on my Win 7 Ultimate x64 system, ran the upload, and it is working fine now. Thanks for all the help. :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Wow interesting. Im surprised it made a difference. Im glad you have everything up and running now :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2110:
I also have an azpen tablet that comes up with the azpen logo when switching it on and it just stays there.

I did try your solution above but does not work. The device does not seem to be picked up in PhoenixUSBPro.

In windows device manager it did pick up the device as "USB Developer". I instlled the Google drives and now it shows as "Android Composite ADB Interface". But PhoenixUSBPro still does nit pick it up.

Any ideas what else I can try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Are you holding down the power button and volume down button while plugging in your tablet like Azpen said?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2110:
Thank you so much.

My computer detected the tablet when switching on the tablet and holding the volume button. I was able to unbrick it and it is working now. Although it did have Kit Kat on before it now has Jelly bean. But I am just happy that it is working now.

Thank you once again.

Only problem that I found now is that Wifi do not work anymore. When going to the wifi setting and turning on Wifi it just stay on the message “ Turning Wi-Fi on..”

Any idea how to resolve this ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Are you sure you have an Azpen A727 and not a newer model? To me it sounds like theres a driver thats not installed for the wifi. But the driver should be automatically included in the image file. I didnt know that the A727 also has KitKat. Mine came qith Jelly Bean. Double check your model number and if it is an A727 Then you can email Azpen and ask them for the ROM image and Ill ask for one too so i cant post it up on here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2110:
It shows Azpen A727 on the back of the tablet and on the box it came in.

I have sent a mail to Azpen support asking for the ROM image.

Waiting for there response.

Thanks again for your help so far.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Your Welcome. Id make sure you clarify to ask for the KitKat version of it since there is also a Jelly Bean. Let me know how it goes. Good Luck :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2110:
I got a responce from Azpen support. They have sent me link to 2 images of KitKat for the A727.

I am busy downloading them now an will see if they work.

As i have less then 10 posts i am unable to post the links. i will send the links to you in a PM and you can prehaps post it so it can help others.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2110:
I manage to get KitKat back on the tablet and wifi is working now.

I used the "Key" from the first link and and the "4.4.2KK.img" image.

Awesome :). Editing Original Post now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancez666:
Could you please share the link to the kitkat room for the aspen a727?

Hello was needing some help on my azpen a727. Last night for no reason the system u.i. stopped and won't start again. I booted into recovery did a restore. Same thing. Did a factory wipe, same thing. Can you send me the link for the kit kat room please. And how would I flash it? Through adb side load? Update from external? Any help would be appreciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
The link to the KitKat ROM is on the first post and the instructions on how to Flash it is also on the first post. Read the first post completely and that should solve your problem. If you have trouble while flashing the ROM feel free to ask questions. But most of your questions will be answered by following the first post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerwolf:
How did you fix the wifi issue? I have the same issue with the kit kat rom :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
I believe viper used one of the KitKat ROMs and one of them was the right one. Did you use the other KitKat ROM to see if that one worked? Also if your A727 came with Jellybean I recommend to use the Jellybean rom just in case there is a hardware compatibility issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerwolf:
I tried both of the roms xD and that's what i'm currently using :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
You tried both KitKat ROMS but you are using JellyBean right now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerwolf:
Yeah because the wifi for the two kitkat roms weren't turning on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enursha101:
[MENTION=5364426]treecheetahdolo[/MENTION] thanks for the help. I was able to restore mine with the kitkat Key and 4.4.2.img you supplied. Wifi works and rooted it again using Root Genius.

[MENTION=315095]WarezAppz[/MENTION]. Thanks for the repost. Was trying and missioning. And was able to put it down for a bit. And BAM! 10 presses later it was picked up by the PC. Would never have figured it out without this thead and post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Sorry guys I didnt have internet for a while. Im back.

Ok so I'm understanding there was a problem with the Google Drive links for the firmware. I checked them in my Google Drive and its still there and active. Anyone else having a problem with the links? If so please explain why. At the meantime, I intend to post up secondary links to the firmware using another service. Anyone have any suggestions to good upload sites I can use that wont delete the links?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Remind me real quick cause i was away. Your tablet was bricked? or there was a hardware malfunction that made you decide to restore your tablet?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiroBiala:
I had the same problem. Fixed it by changing wifi type in build.prop.

It was :

ro.inet.wlan.type=8189es

and I changed it to :

ro.inet.wlan.type=8188eu

Now works fine. BTW treecheetahdolo many thanks for the kitkat roms and whole thread :good: .

I went to Azpens website and emailed them requesting it and they sent it to me. But you are in luck, they have the firmware posted right on their site. Here's the link http://www.azpenpc.com/service/#download
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnufool:
that firmware is for azpen a720 all winner chips

for me is azpen a720 rockchips rk3066
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
How do you know? I was just on the site and it doesnt specify what chip its for. I dont think it matters though. Since you have an A720 I suggest using the Rockchip upgrade tool with the firmware at the same site http://www.azpenpc.com/service/#download
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnufool:
because i used that firmware in azpen a720 using tools livesuit...

and that firmware you cannot load in Rockchip Batch Tool

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prwood78:
I have an A727 that bricked itself, and I'm attempting to get it back online. It came installed with Android 4.2, but I'm wondering if there's any reason I couldn't flash it with the Android 4.4 image that was posted in this thread? Do you have to stay with what came installed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
I'd stick with the original Android 4.2 OS you had. I remember in the begining of this thread there was someone who tried what you were considering and they were unable to connect to wifi after. I guess because there was a different driver needed for the 4.2 wifi than 4.4.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyweird:
Tried multiple firmwares, No WiFi w/o JellyBean

I will second that. I have successfully flashed several different ROMs to my A727, but none of them provided a working WiFi connection. The tablet shipped w JellyBean and after attempting to flash a newer ROM (using the OP's method), WiFi would not turn on. I followed a thread about editing the build.prop to change the wifi driver, but to no effect on any of the non-stock roms. In fact, editing the build.prop caused the device to freeze on boot logo indefinitely.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msilver511:
Perfect!

Azpen A727 From Microcenter, Android 4.2, nothing wrong with it but extremely slow! (I know this tablets are slow but this was just ridiculous)

Download image 4.4.2kk.img, the key and PhoenixUSBPro from the links in this page

Run Phoenix (As administrator (Win10 64)) ask me to update the program, I did...

After updating no need for key, only the Image. Run the installer in Phoenix

When check mark turn to green plug usb in tablet while holding "volume up" then press on button several times until the PC "beeps" (As USB device detected)

Tablet when to developer mode by itself! :)

When finish the upload unplug tablet and restart.

No WiFi :crying:

Download Kingo SuperUser then unroot tablet, and root the tablet again. After that restart the tablet.

Copy ES File explorer apk to the tablet using USB cable from the computer. Install APK

Run ES File explorer, select tools and switch on root explorer, (Grant root access to APP)

Navigate to "\ - System" and open build.prop file with the ES File explorer editor

Find the line ro.inet.wlan.type=8189es and then change to 8188eu. (Now will say ro.inet.wlan.type=8188eu)

Save the file, reboot and you are done!

Everything said in here was my experience and pretty much only repeating the comments above. I Download a bunch of useless programs trying to make it work... hopefully now you don't. Sorry I did not provided any links (Just Google it)

Now I have a working tablet, (Kit Kat) and a lot faster than before :) Thanks to all you guys :highfive:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treecheetahdolo:
Its weird. I know its a few years later but I was having problems with my A727 again and I did a reimage and Im having the same problems as you. I cant figure out whats wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meakai:
I was recently given one of these tablets but could never use it because it was extremely slow. I followed your tip and now have a working tablet. I did not use Kingo nor ES though. :cowboy:

Method:

Enable debugging on tablet.

Connect tablet to computer with usb cable.

Open Command Prompt

<code>

adb devices

adb root

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /system

</code>

Leave this window open and open another instance of Command Prompt.

In this new window type:

<code>

adb pull /system/build.prop

</code>

Edit build.prop with Notepad++, then back in the 2nd window type:

<code>

adb push build.prop /system/

</code>

Go back to 1st window and type:

<code>

chmod 644 /system/build.prop

mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot

</code>

Exit and close both windows.

Tablet takes a while to boot so be patient. :cool:
