[Android General] afxtwn:
I apologize for the long post, I've been working the better part of 3 days and have made a TON of progress on this machine I bought.

BACKSTORY

I bought 5 10" tablet "boxes" from an auction last week. They were store display units that would show a single app overlaid on top of Android 4.4.2. I managed to get ADB running and was then able to open android settings and side-load enough apps to get root access working. After I got root access I was able to go through the private-apps and delete all mentions of the store app and now have a functioning tablet except for a few key features.

The tablet doesn't want to load Google Play store, Google Play services or activate the notification bar. I've tried several APK's and whatnot, I can only assume there are a lot more things it has deactivated for kiosk mode so I wanted to go about loading a fresh new android OS. I gathered as much information as I could possibly find on the unit. I was able to get MTK Droid tools to load the unit scatter info but was unable to export it because the tool doesn't want to for whatever reason. I added my CPU into the .ini file and was able to export this scatter.

I was also able to have the program create a backup inoco27_tb_stm_kk_151109_backup_180212-182052 along with the scatter file

Loading this into SP FLash tools gives me an error about the Mediatek MT8117 not being compatible with this version and that I need to download a newer version.

This is where I'm stuck. I tried loading a scatter for an MT8217 but it ended up bricking one of the units Sad I'm hoping to get this squared up so I can restore that one.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. If I've forgotten something I'll do my best to get it posted ASAP.

Thank you!
