Ok, little question. The white back is a pain in the arse, not only ugly but fets grubby very fast with that texture. Has anyone seen a replacement for it? I already have bought a pair of cases but they add too much bulk to it, as it is it's just perfect for a jacket pocket (I use mine as a phone), so was wondering...
[Device Reviews and Information] coco1476:
Sorry for late reply. Mine says 3g in the top right corner
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Excited, there is a new update, 1.5... Just about to try it (if it takes me with the root applied that is)... Fingers crossed

EDIT : Downloads. Offers the option of update now or later, but nothing happens when I try and update now :(
[Device Reviews and Information] serialkillazzs:
Update to lollipop?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I can't try it yet. The unit I had was bought for someone else but I plan on getting one when I get paid
[Device Reviews and Information] slavar1:
Update 1.5 and 1.6 completed - magnetometer still does not work :(
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Ah, so it is STILL 4.4.4, right? I doubted we'd jumpt to 5.0, but it would have been nice. Anything that you noticed change-wise?

EDIT : You're unrooted still, right? And if not, how did you apply the update?
[Device Reviews and Information] slavar1:
yes - still triplefour (two little updates, like 6 mb each).

yes, I am still unrooted and nothing changed for me at quick glance so far.
[Device Reviews and Information] coco1476:
Same here. I was on v1.4 did every updates available and now on v1.6 but can't see any difference, still on 4.4.4. Would of been wonderful to have lolipop

lost imei

Hey guys I need help. I tried the custom rom on freaktab and my cube t7 and it was freezing up so I did a factory reset and lost my imei. Is there a way to locate the imei on our phablet? I even removed the back cover to see if it was hidden under it but no luck, not even on the box it came with when I bought it. Someone knows where I can find it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Try downloading the MTK Engineering app. It maybe able to recover it for you
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Has anyone still been having issues with GPS, and if not what did you do to fix it
[Device Reviews and Information] coco1476:
It didn't do nothing but I took another imei from another phone that i have and I used the *#*#3646633#*#* and I can send texts and phone calls again until I can recover mine
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Right on. Make sure to report that on the freaktab page so Rrileypm will know
[Device Reviews and Information] coco1476:
I went on the freaktab and downloading it again and will reflash again to see, maybe the first download was no good so this afternoon I will try again and let you guys know

edit. downloaded a second time and was in a boot loop had to reinstall stock and again lost imei
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:

[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Hey just thought about something. Can someone who is not scared to, do a complete hardware breakdown? I'm looking for good measurements for the battery. Although the battery is pretty good, I'm thinking of upgrading it later on. And phone will be in on Monday.
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
It's an easy thing to unclip the back, the battery is pretty exposed, and you could get depth measurements as it's not perfectly flush with the rest, so a small blade slid in and measured might work... Not micrometer scale measurements but it should do the trick
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Right, thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Ok, so has anyone else had issue getting the sp tool to pickup their device? I get the 2005 error which usually means i need to put the phone in Meta mode or something like that. I want to be able to install the cWM and then back up the IMei number. its not working without cwm installed. I have all the drivers installed, ITs just not picking up
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
So I was able to find out that my boot.img and more likely even the recovery.img are secured. This is why anytime I try to flash anything with the spflash tools, its a super fail. Cube wont get business from me again Not with securing the boot.img and recovery. Now that Ive ranted, who can help me to give them? Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
That's weird, I had no trouble at all (apart from my first lame attempt). I will assume you have installed the proper drivers, but what version of spft are you using? HAve you tried on another pc/OS? Different cable? These sound daft but...
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
No your suggestions are sound, however I have done all of this. I was using the the MTK tool when it came up saying the boot was secured
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Bizarre then, maybe a different batch from mine...
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
It could be possible. I seem to only get shell root as well
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I even tried updating recovery through the Unclemobile and the MTK Droid tool, denied me. I couldn't even back up my IMEI number. I could view it, but could not back it up.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
So I was able to install new boot IMG but only through fastboot. I couldn't install over recovery. For some reason they are trying to lock that down so we can't rewrite over it. I can't get the boot loader unlocked as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] DeathByArmadillo:
Same problem with installing via recovery, but as it refused to do a backup either I assumed that it was amounting issue. Anyway, annoying but ways around it, so...
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I did put them on blast on Facebook. No response yet. I'm going to ask Rrileypm from freaktab if he could make the update into a zip file version for those of use having trouble. Maybe I can make it install through fastboot
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Everyone should get a hold of EFS Professional Pro. You can fine it in XDA. It will do a complete backup without a hitch. Maybe able to flash recovery with it. To be continued
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Finally was able to get it to flash the boot and recovery (Currently running TWRP for our devices) There is a more update to date to the SPF tool. I also had to copy the checksum.ini from the old SPFT into the new tool. THe new checksum.ini was invalid. Thank God I still have my imei. I should be able to back up my imei now. Will test this when I get home
[Device Reviews and Information] medsharo:
How to backup the imei please?
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I believe the imei is saved in the nvram. Which the TWRP allows you to backup

Brilliant, have you installed it yet? If so, does the partitioning function properly?

Edit : saw you installed. Just a question, did you change the partition sizes, and if so, how, Riley's instructions beingbrather unclear on that? Saw it had removed your root, any issue with imei as well?

screen problem after fixing charging port

Hey guys

I have a little problem here, my cube t7 wasn't charging anymore so I took it apart and fixed the charging port ( I removed the charging port circuit board off the phone and took a solder gun and re welded the mini UBS port ) and now, it is charging perfect but about 1 inch from the bottom of the screen there is a line across from left to right that is not responding.

The cube t7 is rooted, stock rom v 1.6, I did a factory reset and still the same, I did *#*#3646633#*#* and clicked on Hardware testing then TouchScreen, then HandWrighting and the blind spot is there, and then I tried Verification, then clicked on LineVerification, the blind spot is not there.

I am really confused and since I re welded the port my computer does't connect to the cube anymore ( probably something I did )

I am trying to get the charging port circuit board online so I can replace my broken one. Still waiting an answer from cube website (51cube.com).

Thanks in advance

Edit: I have sent 2 different emails to Cube Customer Service and they never answered back to me
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
I get the same thing from their customer service when I post on their facebook page. I'm have ready to start campaigning against the company. Oh and by the way, they locked the bootloader. However I did discover how to install custom recoveries without it going back to its original. There is a file in system/recovery.boot.p file. Delete this, install whatever recovery you want. I'm using the TWRP, it works better than the cwm versiom
[Device Reviews and Information] coco1476:
I am trying to buy part (charging port flex cable) for my cube t7 but no luck anywhere. Thanks for the info on recoveries, I will give it a try
[Device Reviews and Information] rrileypm:
OK, guys...I've been playing around with the T7 I just received. I got one to test because it appears this device...and I guess the T9 have locked bootloaders.

Before I get too carried away, your suggestion to remove the recovery.boot.p file is interesting. I gather that you were able to install TWRP after doing so?

Other problems I'm seeing is that I can't make the system with read/write permissions. Have you been able to accomplish that?

I'm just trying to figure what modifications I need to make to my ROM (other than my usual ROM work) to defeat this locked up monster.

- Randy (RileyROM)
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
Yes, that was the only way I could install the TWRP. I haven't been able to get system to mount yet. Ill keep trying. Also, I will go ahead and post here what i posted at freaktabe.com

"Taajan

I've found a custom rom from a russian server. Apparently the app storage is 3.97gb on this version. Also, it comes already rooted. And by the way if you are using the MTKDroid Tools it wont work because it doesnt support 64bit SoC (CPU). Here is the russian version V1.3 https://yadi.sk/d/tIMr_XRTdbFSt

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Also, if anyone was looking for the latest version of the SpFt tool, here is a link: https://mega.co.nz/#F!P5AlBRZZ!gC5Fc7TnttnGo7xH4OazwQ

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

So I compared the scatter file from a original scatter file, and the one from the russian version. The partition index sys19 and 20 have been changed.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Testing, will let you know the results.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! By using the scatter file from the russian rom, I now show 3.97GB Total for app storage. Now, next test, the russian rom is already rooted. I will switchout the boot.imgs and see if it will be rooted when its done.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
While testing, figured out that if you get a checksum error while switching from rom to rom, go into the folder where the rom is and delete the Checksum.ini Bingo, No more problems

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Test results: FAILED!!! Apparently root was established in the system.img. Oh and by the way, the reason we can't update once rooted is because each update file contains a rootchecker file. Its hidden in a system folder of the .zip file. Cube is very, very, dirty. Currently working seeing if I can make the update file work after mods. Be right back.
[Device Reviews and Information] rrileypm:
I've been playing around with ADB Shell. While I can get the shell to work in su mode, the system is still read only. I've tried editing some files. Somehow I was able to change the bootanimation.zip to mine (just playing around). I'm just trying to figure out if I can manually edit some of the files I usually change in the firmware.

I've tried mounting the system as rw in the shell....but still shows up read only.

I will try pushing and pulling the files and see if I can do it that way.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:
When I was trying to dev another tablet and having the same issue with the system.img, one of the things i tried and worked was using root explorer to mount system as rw and then went back to ADB and was able to access. That maybe something you can try.

Also, did you try downloading the russian rom to get the larger app storage? It works, but when rebooting . it takes longer to start.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dvalin21:

Hey guys, I figured out how to update to V1.7 after the fact changing the partition. Be warned it may remove root. However it can be easily restored with the other zip that I will include. I would suggest using the TWRP recovery which works best with our phone. I'm also using the boot.img from the Russian Rom 1.3 root. Either way like always, backup your stuff first. And yes, go from 1.6 to 1.7

Hey guys i made a 10GB app data and 4gb sd partition for this!!! hope you enjoy installing apps like crazy.. XD

Download here:

DOWNLOAD ATTACHED FILE BELOW ------------ 10GB Scatter by Nicotrial

I used this with this firmware

---ww w.needrom dot com/download/cube-t7/comment-page-4/#comment-170538 -------------Cube T7 - Update V1.6------------ and works perfect..:good:

To install open my scatter file instead of the original one and put Firmware Upgrade in Smart Phone Flash Tool and click download..

I recomend you get an sd card since the size for photos and media will be too small..

Update to 1.7 does not work it tells me that the intsd is not in the correct adress.. to fix this someone should chage the adress in the update scatter to the new one that is 0x2b6000000 and fix the md5 check so the update does not throw an error.

enjoy...

ROOT

Hello to root this worked for me and it is very easy..

Download TWRP recovery from link

userscloud DOT com/s7pk11sxbxdq

then flash it with Smart Phone Flash Tool--instructions below

unrar file in a folder

open scatter in Smart Phone Flash Tool

unchek everything except recovery

brows in recovery for the file TWRP-recovery_2.8.4.0.img

select download only

and click download....

after it has finished boot into recovery (turn phone on with vol up + power) and select recovery

then TWRP recovery should boot up

select reboot -> system and it will ask you if you would like to install root..

accept by swiping and you now have root installer after reboot in apps that will install super su and everything..:D
