Help plz...

Ok, here the deal and hope someone can just make this simple and easy for me.

I have the Dragon Touch X10. and This is my problem. The ribbon cable to the Power and Vol rockers are broken. So no key combos possible of any kind. I power the device on plugging it into power and using the physical reset button next to where the micro sd goes when it shows the charge screen. This makes it restart and boot normally.

I then use a App which uses the motion sensor to wake it up, and on screen vol controls to control the vol. (duh right?). I do have it rooted, and twrp flashed to it which i use a app to reboot into recovery or adb command. None of the IMG files of the firmware i assume aren't meant to be used by twrp because it keeps saying they are too big.

this is an output of my ls -al /dev/block/by-name

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2017-10-09 03:01 UDISK -> /dev/block/nandj
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2017-10-09 03:01 boot -> /dev/block/nandc

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2017-10-09 03:01 system -> /dev/block/nandd

Because of the broken buttons I am stuck on Android 4.4.4. The updater app that came with it is just junk and never sees any update. I've reset the thing dozens of times but it runs like garbage. Has been from day one. It constantly freezes randomly nearly every few secs. It lags soooooooooo bad. I've tried apps that are setup to add swap, change CPU governors, etc. Its just really horrid and makes no difference.

Can i use adb push to push the whole IMG file? or could someone with a compatible tablet willing to do a back up of a factory reset i could use to restore with my twrp for the latest android out for the tablet?

I See people saying its a decent tablet but its been a nightmare and waste of money to me with all the freezing. I'm stuck with it unless i sell elsewhere but i rather not, i want it to really work. I am hoping updating it to a newer version will help these issues and it run more smoothly.

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Not 100% sure your plan will work, lol, but I'll try to help out. I need to charge my tablet, and then I'll get a backup for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TroyFoxxin:
Well like an hour after i posted this, i found mention of a program called nitro which seems so far to be taking care of my issues. but i left my post alone because Id still like to update. so no rush. Kinda shocked how its running with nitro on it. Its doing what many of the apps ive tried from the play stored failed to do. makes me feel there just BS.

But i was about ready to break the tablet using my forehead with the way it was running. freezing every few seconds on the slightest load (even on a clean factory reset), and hardly any ram was being used. So i felt something had to be really screwy. but so far seems fine now with nitro. I dun know which option helped it. I turned on about every single performance enhancement i could enable. lol

So in love with this program now i plan to smack it on my phones as well. So in any case thanks a bunch, i hope it will still work so i can get a newer version of android on it. And while i am no pro coder or anything, maybe its something i can clean up, make little changes to and repost like they did with the moded IMG files. Maybe even create a website just for the dragon touch x10 for those that still use them. So having as much info and back ups as i can for the tablet will be useful.

:fingers-crossed:

UPDATE:

Guess i should of knocked on wood. while less often. there is a freeze here and there, and during a video, it completely locked up. but its no where near as horrid as before it seems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Glad that app helped some, finally got a backup done and uploaded to AFH, Download Link

Just needs to be uncompressed (in "tar.gz" format), then add it to your TWRP folder with your other backups, if all goes well, you should get the Welcome Screen (where you choose your language).

Let me know how it goes,

Nepo
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TroyFoxxin:
Well do. much thanks. Just with that same app worked on my phone. says it installs but the menu wont open. so boo on that. least it works on the tablet. lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TroyFoxxin:
Kinda to scared to reboot it when i restore using your backup. it tells me no OS installed. If i cant boot it into the OS, no way i can tell it to reboot into recovery, and not sure its smart enough to just auto boot into recovery in such a event. lol

I did do a back up of the current install just in case so should be ok. Version i have of recovery is Team Win Recovery 2.8.7.0. Which version did you use? It said your back up restored but long as that message is there and no way to use key combos on the buttons cant risk using it.

UPDATE:

I been going over the recovery log. and the version you used no need to answer that i see now. its a newer version. so i might look into seeing if i can flash it to that and try again. If I can ever get it to accept that version. I tried already and the version remained the same. Still gotta read the recovery log to see whats up. or just maybe the firmware updates something else that cant be flashed over in this manner. I just dont know enough how Tablet Express set up this tablet.

UPDATE 2:

Got the newer version of recovery to hold but it dont wanna mount /data. seems to not really like internal storage at all. seems i might have to call it here till another answer can be found. because of a dead in that could put it into boot loop no matter what i try. restore with yours on the old recovery, says No OS installed. chance on reboot i could never get into recovery without finding another ribbon cable for this which is harder then you think. i found some that may look like the right cable but dont know.

same thing on the new version. if i cant mount the right parts recovery wont work right, and then i wouldnt be able to use my own recovery not being able to mount. So i think thats what is going on is i cant use the /data on your recovery. Ether it wont restore or i cant mount it on the new recovery. asking you to try to back up with a older version would be too much of a bug on your part that may not even work anyways if the img firmware did change something.

Thanks anyways.

an added note: doing recovery of one partition at a time. its not even trying to restore system. it says it does but i doubt it can do that in only a second. lol

x10 Dradon 2017 flash

Has anyone flashed the 2017 version of the x10 that comes stock with android 7.0? I'm trying to run Nord VPN with the kill switch but im being told because the x10 does not run an official android firmware the kill switch does not work. Of course they don't bother to tell anyone that so I have two x10's and im tempted to just try it. Not sure if the tools on page 1 will work since its already running 7.0 and even then not sure if flashing and updating is going to solve the "official" version issue. It seems the x10 is running a stock version but I'm also not educated enough to know how to check for sure. Thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Where is this 7.0 firmware? And if you're talking about the flash tool, it will work, even though the firmware may not boot. As for TWRP working right and/or being able to root, I have no way of knowing that...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikele2016:
can you tell me if your firmware work with VPN, because stock firmware do not. thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
This is stock firmware, only difference is recovery

Costom Rom or Kernel

Hey I've been looking for a custom Kernel or Rom for my Dragon Touch Tablet, have you been able to successfully build one any news is really appreciated. A link to instructions on how to flash it since, im sorta new to the rooting side of Android devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
We have no viable kernel source, so no custom kernel or ROMs. However, you can root and install the xPosed framework for some nice, custom features.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
I can't seem to get started rooting this device, I don't think I have the correct usb drivers. When I open the command box and ask enter adb devices, nothing gets listed. I tried installing the google usb drivers, the universal android usb drivers, nothing seems to work, and other driver solutions, but my device manager always says there is a problem with that yellow triangle sign.

Also When I try to use kingo root app, it gets stuck at 90%, when I try to use kingo root windows, it keeps telling me to enable usb debugging, which I already have.

I have rooted 2 other devices in the past, so this isn't my first time, but I can't even seem ot get started on this thing. I can't get the usb drivers working is the problem I think. Is there a link to some drivers I can install to get my pc to recognize this dragon touch 10x?

[Edit:] After searching the thread I found the post that finaly got my drivers to work, and now im rooted. ADB Driver Installer.exe fixed my driver and its all working now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Glad you got it going :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Is the device sufficiently charged? What happens when you plug it in to charger? Did you try to boot recovery?

I've never had an issue with flashing, but I have the nand version of the device...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
It's charged, and it wont boot into recovery. I keep volume down pressed when i turn it on and nothing happens, its just a black screen. It is possible I need to flash something different to it? The "mmcblk" version maybe? Does anything look weird in the debug log i posted?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Looking at the log, it appears to have flashed successfully. And yes, you should be using "mmclbk" already, I'm pretty sure the flash tool reads the partition scheme before flashing the firmware.

You could try the KitKat firmware, just to see if it works, since your data is gone already anyway
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
I tried flashing all four of the files from the website, and none of them worked.

X10-HT-PW-V1-AL-5.1-A83T_N106_N1061L2BC_20151126

X10-HT-PW-V1-AL-4.4-20151104

X10-HT-PW-V2-AL-5.1-20150115

X10-HT-PW-V2-AL-4.4-20160116

I still just get a black screen when I turn it on. The 1st and 3rd file look to be exactly the same though. And no where on the download area does it mention anything about nand or mmcblk.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Maybe try an older version of the Phoenix tool (I have v3.3.4) or using LiveSuit for Windows (which is what the Phoenix tool is based from)

The tool(s) will determine the partition scheme, the firmware is the same for all devices
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
I tried flashing it using phoenixsuit v1.10, PhoenixUSBPro_V4.0.0, and PhoenixUSBPro_V3.4.3, and i tried using all of the different firmwares that are available for download, including the 4 on the official website, and the 2 or 3 custom ones in this thread that have twrp and supersu already installed, and every time is says I was successful, and it takes about a minute for the flash to finish, which I still think is too short. Do you remember how long it took to flash? Was is like 1 minute, or was it more like 5 minutes?

I'm starting to think something is wrong with the screen now, I googled tablets with black screen, and some stuff came up. To fix it you have to remove the battery, but the dragon touch doesn't have a removable battery. I'm letting the battery just run out at this point, its the only thing i can think of.

I let the battery run out, and i'm still just getting a black screen. I think its a lost cause at this point.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
I don't remember the exact amount of time, but it wasn't long, a minute or so. Also, I've opened my X10 up, you just gotta be careful. There's no screws, so you have to pry the screen out, use something like a credit card or guitar pick to get between the screen and the case.

As a last resort, you could try contacting Tablet Express customer support...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
I took the devices apart, and was disappointed to find the battery was soldered on, and I would have to unsolder it to disconnect the battery. I tried to unsolder it, but for some reason my soldering iron wouldnt melt the solder. I put it back together, and in a stroke of genius, I connected the device to my tv with an hdmi cable, and the hello screen appeared on my tv. So something is wrong with my tablet's display. The tablet display output is displaying onto the tv with hdmi, but the tablet remains just a black screen. I'm going to leave the tablet alone for a while and hopefully the battery will just eventually discharge. Do you have an ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Screen replacements can be tricky, ribbon cables are very fragile. So discharging first, is your best option and using the device will be the fastest way to do this. Hook it back to the TV, tell the screen to never time out and get some app running (youtube on repeat, maybe). You can then do something else while it discharges.

It shouldn't take long, lol. If that doesn't work, like I said before: contact TabletExpress support and see what they say :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gideovame:
The touch on the screen still works, and this problem only started after I started flashing these firmwares, I seriously doubt this is a hardware problem, but it is possible. Have you heard of anything like this happening before? Display stopped working after flashing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
I haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it can't happen though. Best of luck, hopefully a full discharge of the battery will get you back right again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rose Autumn:
Might anyone know if this method would work on the dragon touch X8?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Not likely, different chip and screen resolution
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rose Autumn:
Ah.

Ah. Alright then. Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mikey1969:
OK, I'm confused here...

Under 'Root', it says "Install TWRP". OK, I installed TWRP on the tablet. I don't get an option to Root it, just and option to flash the recovery, but I can't determine which tablet this counts as. Nothing for Dragon, nothing for Allwinner, nothing I see for X10, except for an 'HTC One'. KingoRoot fails with the app directly installed on the tablet, and freezes up at 29% on the PC app.

Since I'm a Verizon user, it's been a few years since I had a device I could root, but the last time, KingoRoot worked fine. Anyway, I guess I'm confused.

I can't use ADB to push the TWRP image, as it gives me an error 'remote permission denied'. I found one place on the Interwebz that says that that error is because I haven't rooted the device yet. But that's what I'm trying to do. I have USB Debugging enabled. I'm just stuck, not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PS: There is definitely every chance that I'm just reading something wrong, so my apologies if I make it look like you weren't clear or anything...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mikey1969:
Hey, I know that this is an old post, but I'm curious how you did this exactly. I am running into all of the same issues, and I found PheonixUSBPro to try this route, but can't figure this out. Nothing seems to work. Anything thru ADB givs me permission errors, PHoenixSuit detects the tablet, but I can't figure that part out, PhoenixUSBPro doesn't seem to to anything. KingRoot fails on both the PC and the tablet. I even switched to a Won7 machine to see if that's the issue.

I tried shutting off the tablet, holding down 'Volume', and plugging it in, then pressing 'Power' 8 times. When it detected an unknown device, I was able to go into a folder for the 'PhoenixSuit', and finally get it to install the correct driver, but PhoenixUSBPro still doesn't see the tablet and ADB sees nothing either. Windows sees it, though. I'm just trying to figure out how to root it and get TWRP on there, after that, i can install everything thru recovery...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
If you have TWRP installed, just flash the SuperSu zip, that will root it. Find it HERE

(get the "TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP")

The TWRP built in SU installer doesn't work with this device, that's why you have to flash it separate.

Wish I could help ya bud.. unfortunately I don't have the tablet anymore. Dropped it and broke into pieces. :(

Step Zero?

Hello!

I apologize in advance for the noob questioning, I'm very new to this.

Sam deal, I have a Dragon Touch x10, but it's stuck in the bootloader. I have been able to get the device into the bios loader (not sure what term to use). I tried to root the device afterwards, but I am doing so through my pc, and it won't recognize the tablet. Not sure where to go from there, as I can't find any drivers online.

Help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
If you're using Winblows, all you need is the Google driver, Link
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerryspring:
Will any method work for Android 6 or 7?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
IF you're referring to TWRP and/or root, then it won't work, this build is for Lollipop
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerryspring:
Since bootloader is unlocked, isn't it feasible to flash to KitKat or lp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
Sure, it's "possible", but it depends on which chip you have in it, I think the newer models are using MTK chips instead of Allwinner
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stonkers:
Hey whatever happened with ur tablet? I just had the exact same problem
[Miscellaneous Android Development] omeletteo:
Is this TWRP???

Hello. I'm confused. My X10 came with the following BIOS-like loader - is this TWRP???

Original X10 Boot-loader.

I didn't think so, so following the instructions in this thread, successfully flashed the linked-to TWRP image file to my X10 using ADB - got a "flashing successful, 17,xxx,xxxMB written" type message. I then did a 'adb boot recovery' as instructed, but this brings up the same screen linked to above. Hence my original question, is this actually TWRP, and did my X10 come pre-installed with it???

I then tried flashing the SuperSU file linked to here from this boot-loader and got the following error;

SuperSU Flashing error-message.

I've googled TWRP for tablets and at least with the Galaxy tab, it is a far more substantial app that what was originally installed on my X10. As it seemed to have written properly to my device with ADB, maybe I'm not invoking it properly - I get the first screenshot by holding down the left volume button then keeping the power button pressed for about 10secs - is there a diferent procedure used for TWRP?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Edit:

Oops, I messed up. I had presumed that my X10 had a 'mmcblk' partition, as that is what I saw when I viewed my Android device from Linux's Disks application. but I've just checked with ADB (as I should have first time around!) and see it's a 'nand' partition!!! Downloading the 'nand' variant of TWRP & writing it to the X10 with ADB, I finally see what TWRP should look like! Flashing SUperSU with it, and I now have a rooted device - easy peezy!

Admin, feel free to delete this post if necessary.

Help

Hi Guys,

I just purchased a dragon touch 10 inch tablet , but i am unable to two apps simultaneously. I am trying to use VPN app for browsing but as soon as i connected to VPN and switch to another app , the VPN app stop working. Any thing i am missing here because the same thing works fine in my Android phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dantibes:
Hello everybody

I received a Altroconsumo tablet with these technical features:

ALLWINNER CPU A50 Quad core 1.5 GHz with Androi TM 8.1 GO

Considering that it is very "locked" I would like to untie it with some modding operation, at least unlocking the bootloader, applying Magisk for the root and some custom recovery.

The first obstacle seems to me to be recognition is can't find the right drivers.

Could someone give me some tips or some links to follow,

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x0acake:
So I purchased a Max 10 with android 9.0

Any risk of running these commands that are meant for 5.1?

edit- Actually..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xXxOnyXxXx:
Son got an X10 for £20 on ebay and wanted to root and install lineage

followed this guide and still get refused permission to push twrp img by ADB

installed kingoroot on PC, says rooted, ran root again, says rooted, but supersu says it isn't rooted

trying to push anything via ADB gets the same message of "failed to push xxxx remote access denied"

I have read and re-read the guide and still at the same impasse

Any ideas where we could be going wrong?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NepoRood:
What version of Android is the device running?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xXxOnyXxXx:
Sorry for late reply it is 5.1.1

I tried Kingoroot on device and it says rooted try it via supersu and says unrooted

then via PC says rooted than as soon as you try and push anything via ADB it says unrooted and refuses permission

just trying to root and install lineage on it if possible so he has something to game on when he is bored ^^
