Not really sure, the main problem is that we haven't had any success porting a rom from another device. I was able to create a .zip format of the rom. Its 1.7 Dolby edition. Root and all. However that's it. There hasn't been a lot of devices with mtk 8752 CPU, although many say its the same as the 6752, no luck with it. Most of the port tools don't work with our CPU SoC yet.

Hey guys i have a question? The Lenovo A936 source code has been released found here http://www.needrom.com/download/official-opensource/, The phone has (for the most part) the same specs as our phone. Is it possible to use their source code to manipulate and create a custom rom for ours?

Hi, I want to install this tablet as a head unit in my car. I need to use OTG host + charging at the same time, some one all ready made it?

Thanks.

If Your tablet suffers under same problem like other's, I dont think it's a good idea, if compass is not working the navigation app's will also not work accuratly, for exmaple google maps with this tablet is ok for locating yourself, but navigating with it is a pain.

Hello there,

I have the following problem. I have a cube 7 T7 ordered from China,

get it and rooted with Kingo Root. It was also far excellent.

The unit I gave my girlfriend. You got an update notification and has

click Yes, then the unit no longer launched. In the Recovery Mode I come,

However, the device is not recognized by the computer to flash around, also I have

not Rome, which you can flash via the Recovery Mode. Does anyone know what I now

may make, or was the update on what my friend has confirmed with yes, death

the Cube 7 T7 ??
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Your best bet wpuld be first check the charge cable, make sure its not faulty. Then try switching to a different USB port on the computer. I have to do this on mine to get it to work. DONT DO ANY OTA UPDATES!!! I uploaded a custom rom of Firmware 1.7 already rooted and debloated.
[Device Reviews and Information] blubenow:
The cable is okay, because it is not.

I have it tested with other devices.

I had the wrong PC driver, after update this driver,

i can flashed the rooted custom Rom 1.7 with Dolby

Anyone any ideas we're I could get a spare sim tray, daughter lost it. Emailed cube a few times but they say return the whole tablet to them. Any chance someone could take a 3d print and sell some on eBay.

Awesome discovery!!!!!!!

So just the same as many of you, I have been playing with trying to port or do custom rom for our phone. Well today I was able to get the phone to boot after installing the rom from the Onda V919 4G LTE Phone Rom. The specs and partition tables are identical. I've been only able to get the install to work via spf tool and even then there is a lot of testing that still needs to be done. I will report more later as I discover more. This would lead me to believe that the Bootloader is unlocked after all. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] blubenow:
The onda 919 phone is an 9,7 inch tablet. Can the onda Rom then

run in the cube 7t7?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I some what have it running, I need some one to do me a favor, with root explorer go to /system/etc/.tp folder, and I need to know what the permissions for each file is and the folder itself? Thanks So far camera is not working, Ill be trying it next, and so on.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:

[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Ok guys, I pulled the system folder and made a flashable zip. Also included is the unsecure boot.img. There are still a few things I didnt get some things working, maybe someone else can work it and see. Like I said before, when I originally installed it, I used the spf tool and mismatched the images to get it installed. The first fix was replacing the /system/etc/.tp folder. If you dont replace it, it will keep saying an overheat error and turn off your phone. Either way, all the correct libs (for the most part) are there. I still need to get the camera to work and I just noticed that the "msensor" is not working so that will be something else to try and figure out. Anyway, If someone do figure out how to get the camera going (and before anyone suggest, yes I switched out all the standard libcam files) please let us know. Also through a friend of mine named Kushyree from needrom.com I will be uploading a Carliv 3.3 Recovery for our tablets. Anyway, if everything else works out, there maybe another port out there. Port for Cube T7

Before i flash this custom rom i have a question:

On which base is this rom make? Kitkat or lollipop?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
The rom I posted is still kitkat, however I just realized I'm getting file corruption when I try to flash the zip. However I'm able to extract it to my computer. It's possible I made the file too big.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
So guys i'm having an issue. I had pulled the system folder and put everything together and archived it. When I tried to flash it, it said the file was corrupted....ok so i figured the file was probably too big. I redid my process, the file is smaller (like half a GB smaller) and went to flash it, and got the same thing. Now the funny thing is, it ONLY happens when I go to zip this system folder and files. I do it with anything else and it flashes like its suppose to......any ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] blubenow:
I have the problem with the Cube 7 T7, that not all Simcards run in Germany.

LTE dont run, i have test simcards from Vodafone, and O2, not all cards run.

Why it is so? When I flash the Rom from you, is the Problem away, or not?

Did you use MTK Engineering app and change to Euro settings?
[Device Reviews and Information] blubenow:
No, that i have not use. I test it. Can you

give me an tipp which app i install, when

i want to chance the phone in Euro settings?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Go to play store and download MTK Engineering Mode. It will have the green Android head as the icon
[Device Reviews and Information] blubenow:
This app i anstalled. Thank you. But were i can chance the

Phone settings to europe or other countries? I cannot find

it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Sorry for the late reply, but you should be able to go to MTK Settigs/Bandmode/ and there should be a setting button or toggle that will allow you to set euro band. Let me know if you still have troubles

I use the T7 in my Hyundai Genesis Coupe with no issues whatsoever. I have no need for OTG though and rely on BT for all connectivity, to my Genesis's stock HU using simple A2DP and BT4 to a CANBus Triple using my own canbus integration software.

My T7 has been plugged in with continuous power for about 3 months now.

Great work, but for my application I need to use otg host + charging because I want to use a USB reverse camera, usb dongle for a remote game controller and a extra usb extension for a usb stick for extra music, movies, etc.

I made some test with a otg hub with charging port and if you put in charge mode first an then pass to a otg host mode the tablet no sense a charging mode but after a few hours to playing some movies the battery remaining in the same percentage and a soon I disconnect the hub the battery immediately mark 100%, so I made more test this weekend, but it appear like this can work.

By the way, you must connect the 5v from the connector (for charger) direct to the otg connector ( bypass the 5v from the switch, just the 5v no the GND), I have photos but I can't share the links ( I need more posts).

cheap. I cannot trust this price, have you order something

at this dealer?
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Actually not that unlikely, I remember when I was looking at a replacement for my dying samsung mega 6.3 (quite a long time ago), seeing that specific model (I remember the daft card access hatch), and even then it was around £150-200, so with the time since. Though no, never dealt with that particular retailer.

Anyone been trying to set up a 5.1 build. Does Riley Rom know?
[Device Reviews and Information] evo4g1473:
To find out some info

Hey what's up . I would like to know how would I hook up my cube t7 to a phone carrier. I live in the USA. Also I use metro PCs , which it's on the T-Mobile network. I put my existing sim card from my zte zmax in the cube t7 ,but its not picking up .I would like to know what step I would have to take to get this cube t7 working on my network. Thank you for any help.
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Right, a quick check of the T-Mobile site and the T7 specs show that their bands don't really overlap , so it COULD pick up a signal, but only in some areas. (LTE is better than 3G for that, but once again, not perfect).

It might be a case of your network has a policy against using tablets as phones (they do here in the UK, as they want to sell tabs-specific data plans, WAY more expensive), and therefore blocks it. Check with your carrier to see if it's the case, and if not, how you can make it work.

Good luck
[Device Reviews and Information] Synman:
My Cube does HSPA+ on the US AT&T network. The LTE bands do not line up. I had to call AT&T, go thru some harassment about it being an unclassified phone (it is not in the database) but ultimately got my IMEI whitelisted and haven't had any problems since.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Yeah ATT is honestly stupid that way. However I'm with T-Mobile and get the same H+. But also T-Mobile no longer require a imei number to work on their network. I did some poking around on my phone to see how it was still working and it showed an IMSI number that apparently works the same way.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Hey guys, I mention earlier about the phone that was selling for cheap. Fiona is the seller for OPNEW products. I just spoken to her on Skype, if you are wanting to purchase the phone email her at opnew@foxmail.com and also include the following link: http://www.opnew.com/mod_product-view-p_id-567.html. The price for the phone is 99USD (I had thought it was cheaper, but my fault) and 32USD for DHL shipping. Not sure if there is a alternate shipping that is cheaper, but thats where its stands. Thanks.

splain lucy..... that product page shows Lollipop as the OS
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
That is correct it is lollipop
[Device Reviews and Information] Synman:
a T7 with a lollipop image? I'm confused. Why can't we get it from Cube?
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Because it's anything but a T7. First, look at the pics (top part of the back coming off for dual sims/sd, different cam placement), then the fact the res is 1200*800, the different ram/rom... Same chipset and screen size but that's pretty much it.

On top of that, looking around at the site, I've noticed tons of discrepancies in the specs for products, and I'd be more than a bit wary. (which is a shame as one of the tabs really looked good for the cost)
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I tell ya what, I'm going to be ordering one regardless as a test sample for business. When I have it in hand ill let you know
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Have to admit they have quite a few very tempting models in there. Please do report when you get the kit, I'd like to spend some bucks their way

Sure will. I'm pretty munch right on with ya on what you said, however I've been talking to Fiona for awhile and she's gained my trust.
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
That's good to hear, as most of these places tend to have a non-existent customer service from the get go. Pay with a credit card and you should be sorted if there is a problem.

What is the current progress with cube t7 locked bootloader? Can I flash firmware that is older than mine? This thread has been a brilliant read for getting my feet wet modding my cube.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
You can flash back and forth. However I think everyone will agree that 1.7 is probably the most stable
[Device Reviews and Information] OLderDan:
My firmware is dated late Oct 15 and I am sure it says 1.9 I have rooted my device and will attempt to backup the stock img. I have the latest twrp for cube I could find and have unsuccessfully tried to spflash it, I also have rrileys 1.1, the Russian 4gig rooted and the 10gig scatter waiting for a successful twrp. I have a Linux box at home with working adb and fastboot and a win7 box at work with same plus spflash.

Sorry for the wall, this is my first decent tech and I am looking forward to putting a saddle on this Chinese bronco!
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Dan you seemed to have discovered a newer firmware. Is it Kitkat?
[Device Reviews and Information] OLderDan:

[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
@ Dan, did you download it (1.9) from somewhere or was it an OTA update?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Ill check the websites. I haven't been to them in a long time
[Device Reviews and Information] OLderDan:
This is the firmware that came with the device just purchased last week. I don't know how to attach a screenshot of my about tablet page. I am holding off my journey to lollipop on my cube t7 till I extract my stock img as I can only find v1.7 online.

First will be change the scatter for one full system partition, then trying to get the magnetometer working from the useless stub then try building from mtk lollipop source!

From small steps...
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Ok guys, I've searched all the sites that I use to watch and i didnt see a 1.9v, however what I did see is that the T8 Ultimate version is an Octacore with Lollipop installed on it. Now with that said, I dont know if anyone would be willing to

try and port that over? I'm not sure if I have it in me to try again.....that and I've flashed my phone so much it already has glitches, lol. Anyway, I've already saved it to my pan.baidu storage account. let me now if anyone wants it and Ill upload it to mega and share the link.

Tutorial for CUBE T7 firmware flashing, TWRP, backup, restore

About the CUBE T7 android tablet.

Found bit's and pieces about firmware flashing, wiping, TWRP update and android backup / restore.

Decided to make a tutorial that covers it all.

Many steps I used might be redundant or not the most effective way.

If found the method I used to be working for me, it might work you.

FIRST watch the tutorial THEN decide if you want to use this approach.

ANY UNWANTED RESULTS ARE YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY!

It's al regarding the CUBE T7:

youtube.com/watch?v=_ATf8LD36oc
[Device Reviews and Information] OLderDan:
I found something interesting while I bricked then resuscitated my cube t7. When using pwr and vol+ to select recovery mode the vol+ moved the selection and the vol- made the selection (not pwr as written on the screen.) Learning this made it much easier for me.

Currently i have 4gig system partition but will try the 10gig scatter tomorrow with hopefully a more recent firmware than the 1.3 I used to revive my brick.

Now that I am confident of not killing the cube t7, I would love a crack at the lollipop image [MENTION=3129964]Dvalin21[/MENTION] before I tackle the mtk lollipop source! I fail at working out the Chinese download pages.

Had the cube in a drawer for a while (network blocked it as it considered it a tablet), but now I've changed network it's out. And I've found the sd reader was dead as a dodo. It doesn't even register a card being sloted in, let alone read it. Not sure if it's hardware of software (had done pretty painful things to the OS before I put the phone away), anyone got the same?
[Device Reviews and Information] OLderDan:
[MENTION=3129964]Dvalin21[/MENTION] thank-you will get on it asap. [MENTION=6383259]DeathByArmadillo[/MENTION] I have no problems with sdcard slot. Maybe it needs a spray of compressed air?

I put mine through hell and back so now the data will randomly turn off even when it shows on. I have to switch the lte from fdd to tdd and back again several time before it comes back on. Oh and by the way. This phone works on the sprint network as long as you have an imei number

could someone please clear up the micro SD card capacity of the Cube T7? Some sources say it can only handle up to 32gb, whereas others say 128gb. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks very much!
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
I had a 64gb card in there with no issue whatsoever. It's just a case of chinese manufacturer quoting for TF cards, which, if I'm not mistaken, only go to 32. But if 64 works, 128 should (technically, up to 2TB for that standard)
[Device Reviews and Information] shadders:
Thanks very much for the reply DeathByArmadillo! that makes me hopeful that the 32gb is not a limit. Could anyone else confirm that they've been able to use a 64gb or higher memory card in the tablet? I have a 128gb micro sd, and would like to use the Cube for media consumption, so it would be a deal-breaker for me if it could not handle cards of that capacity
