From the 3561. Really, if I had a UART or literally any kind of output from the device besides for the regular USB sided stuff, I could fix this overnight, but the lack of feedback just makes this a pain. We just need someone with a 3562 to full dump their ROM from MTKTools.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] anatoliipep:
I trying a unbrick but nothing does not exceed
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] anatoliipep:
Who has this file from this bro?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] JakeJensenXK:
I have the update files, they're in the dump I uploaded, but not the original files.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] kozmo2k4:
Here is the 3562 OTA firmware:

Hope that helps you.

You got it working? I was just able to get the device into a fastboot mode on my cobbled together firmware
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] anatoliipep:
Yes all working wifi, Bluetooth, camera, audio,touchscreen
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] JakeJensenXK:
To be clear, you flashed the firmware uploaded above, inside the "Full" folder, and it worked? What tool did you use to flash it, and if SP, what exact version?

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] JakeJensenXK:
That's a partition dump, the one I asked for above is a full EMMC dump, it's a little different. Basically I think there's a partition in there, that isn't listed by MTKClient, so if I flash a full EMMC, it should be 1:1 with yours.

In MTKClient, go to the 4th? tab I think, and then do "Read Flash", or the command above.

For most people, the partition dump should save their device though. This is just like a last resort kind of deal.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] anatoliipep:
Sorry, but this file is so large i can't to upload
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] anatoliipep:
And flash file is user file is 29gb
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] kozmo2k4:
The link works for me, two different computers and an Android phone on carrier network.

Not sure why it is showing as Google Drive link, because it is for Mega.nz.

I can send it to you in a direct message.

./k
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] JakeJensenXK:
Probably something wrong with my tab then. It just sits in DA/ BROM/ Meta constantly and never actually gets to the first boot stage, even if I full flash the firmware with MTKClient or SPFlash. I'm ordering a replacement motherboard, so when that arrives I'll dump the new motherboard's EMMC and compare it to a full flash dump of mine and see what the difference is. Hopefully soon I can put out a repair package to help people fix their bricks.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
TWRP does work properly on the TB007 now. Have you tried the latest version?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Vortell:
That's the DD command to do full backup? Does it make single image/binary backup, or is it split into partions? I think I tried it and there normal command to split the backup did not see the structure of the phone. I might be moving it up with one of my other tablets I got recently. I should just try to find a better place to read explanation of all the options in the command.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
you could do either with the dd command.

I usually just do whichever partitions I care about... for example:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

then just go through making an image of each partition I want (usually boot, recovery, vendor, vbmeta, and system)

just don't switch or typo the "if" and "of" or you could end up messing up a partition. Remember i=input, o=output
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Vortell:
If you can do it by block name it must not be the tablet I was having issues with. Must be the nextbook Ares 8a I got at about the same time. Its Intel based so maybe that's the issue. Sorry to waste your time. I guess I have got to find a good guide to dd on Intel or a tool to pull the partions for backup. Thanks your always kind and helpful.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] mrmazak:
In my rca tablet, it has Intel soc, the structure is same. Mainly. But when you get to the by-name folder, they are all numbers. So it gets confusing for sure.

And the Intel was easy to brick. There was no low level emmc access like with mtk (sp flash tool, etc)

I'd link to the rca root thread if it helps you. There I have a batch file-tool, which may help, depends on the build you have. Remember Intel soc devices are easy to brick.

EDIT. Removed link.

I find resources limited online for Intel based device.

Search for rca Voyager on xda to see how it was done with intel atom based android
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Tried flashing November update from April and got Status 7.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
^ which tablet?

If you're doing OTAs, I'm pretty sure you have to do each one in sequence. IOW, they are not cumulative.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Onn 8
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
And did you apply July's OTA first, or just jump straight to November?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Tried to jump straight to November. Also I'm now rooted so I don't know if the updates would cause me to lose Magisk due to some boot changes (the onn rebrand might be a new boot img) and all that.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
You'll have to apply the updates in order, can't skip.

Also, you'll get a new boot image and lose magisk, but you can simply grab the boot image from the update.zip, patch it with magisk manager, then use mtk-su and dd to overwrite the boot partition, or fastboot to flash it. It's easier than the initial root.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Greetings OP. I am new to this thread and just recently acquired an Onn Surf 10.1" tablet without keyboard (Model # 10005208). I have made clean dumps of the system, dtbo, boot, metadata, vbmeta and vendor partitions (.img format). The Surf 10.1 appears to be an Onn rebranding of the original Onn 10.1" tablet. It has the MT8163 SoC, and the TWRP for the older Onn 10.1 works flawlessly on my device.

If these firmware dumps can be of any use here, please guide me as to the specifics for your firmware repo, and how I may share. I can archive these images into a zip file and post the download link. Anyway, just let me know. You've done an excellent job compartmentalizing this repo. Thanks.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] mrmazak:
In order to determine if the dumps are of use, we will need to know the build number.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
^ correct.

But whether they're useful or not, kudos for taking the time and effort to make them :good:

You can find the build number under settings > system > about tablet > build number

Also, under the same menu, you can access "wireless update" which is the tablets own (kinda sketchy) OTA update manager. It will show the exact version you're on as well as any updates that are available.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
That sketchy OTA app was the same one that was in a controversy with BLU. The BLU phones are manufactured by the same company as the onn. Tablets.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Well, I installed the July update, then tried November. Still Status 7...
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
So the July update worked, but only November gave the problem?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Yes. It said something about mismatched keys. Is the november update from the Surf Onn version?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
It's from one I got some time ago.

You're applying the updates through the stock recovery?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Yes I am. I attempted the update after a reboot and I took a picture of the error. I did it from the sdcard due to sideload not showing on adb.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Hmmm, I wonder if there was an OTA between July and November that was missed. I only have the 003 and 007, so I'm really not sure.

I assume you're using these images because of uninstalling adups.fota?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Actually no. The check for updates is broken, not showing any updates.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Oh, that's quite interesting. You've tried again since getting the July update I assume?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Yes, it still says up to date. And it seems the build number has not changed, still 20190516, so I don't even know if the July update installed.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
If the build number didn't change, the July update didn't take. Try it again and take a picture of the results.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Here is the update log.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
And does it show up correctly in your build version now?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Still no change. Not even a finishing update notification or optimizing apps.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Checking the ota zip and the system, it seems to actually be updated, but with no changes at all...?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
That doesn't seem to make any sense. Did you say yours is one of the "surf" rebranded ones?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
No, it's the original white box model.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Hmm, well I'm stuck then.

You could always just flash the full images for system, vendor, vbmeta, root, and recovery.

The only thing I had to happen that was similar was one of OTAs failed on mine because I had altered the system partition. Using one of the images from the same version I was on at the time then allowed the OTA to install without issue.

I used mtk-su and dd to write the images
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
I give up for now, I'm gonna stay on the July OTA for now, I'll probably try the next OTA.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Indeed. The Build No. is 100005208_20190731 (Android 9 Pie).

Please note that this build number is not the latest. My device just downloaded a 414MB OTA to bring the build up to 100005208_20191010. I am rewriting the updater script of the OTA so that I can install it with TWRP. As soon as I have installed the update, I will perform another dump consistent with the latest build.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Well, the model numbers are different, so maybe the software is different. Hang on to those images, also grab the update.zip files and put them somewhere for safe keeping. I'll PM you about hosting them or getting a copy over to me.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Sounds good OP. Will do. I rewrote the updater-script from my OTA and was able to install the update successfully via TWRP. (However, I did first save an untouched copy of the OTA zip.) Now that I am running the latest build, I will make another dump. (I realize that some of the images for my new dump are encompassed within the OTA zip itself). But anyway, yes please PM me with your instructions. I am presently at work but will be free this evening. (I'm on EST and it is currently 2:58 p.m. I'll be free by 8:00 p.m. my time.) Thank you for your prompt reply.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
It seems that the July update wasn't installed at all...? I am so confused as to what's happening with the updates on my tablet. There was an error about not able to access misc-sd, would that cause the update to fail?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Pretty much any error will prevent an OTA from installing
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
Is there any way to fix any of the OTA bugs?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
What do you mean "bugs"? Not quite sure I understand the question
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
All the stuff preventing me from installing the otas
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
You can force an OTA install with TWRP recovery by editing updater-script and removing all getprop and partition integrity checksums. For /system and /vendor, use a standard block_image_update command. The other .img and .bin files can be installed by package_extraxt_file commands. If you're not familiar with Edify coding, there are some great guides here on XDA. Just search for "Edify updater-script."
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
If I remember correctly I was able to force an update through adups.fota by installing root activity launcher. When Wireless Update app is opened in activity launcher there are 3 or 4 options to choose from rather than just check for update. Don't know if it still works as that was six months ago, but worth checking out.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
I ran the one command to disable it and I flashed twrp, how would I revert that?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I guess you would have to flash stock recovery. If you used pm disable or pm hide you just pm enable or pm unhide. That's if you're just really wanting to download the updates. I was just letting you know that there was a way to download them when the app says up to date and it's not .
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
Or, just forget the OTA process and flash images that are already up to date.

Side point, I wasn't aware the OTAs could be tweaked to install via TWRP... But if someone wants to make modified ones, I'd be happy to add them to the OP
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Members can PM me the OTA updater-script from META-INF and I'll rewrite the Edify commands to allow install via TWRP. There is a caveat: for the OTA to install without issues, the user needs to be running on the build immediately prior to the OTA or a brick can occur -- not a hard brick by any means, but rather a boot loop that will typically need SP Flash Tool to recover.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
How would one flash the images and can the images be dirty flashed?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] NFSP G35:
There's a few ways, mtk-su and dd, fastboot, sp flash tools, possibly TWRP... It would be better if you researched those options rather than me giving steps though, so you can better understand the different options, pros cons, risks, complexities, etc... for each one.

If you get stuck, there are plenty of us to help, these tablets are fairly brick resistant though
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] AdamSAustin:
Onn 100005207

Story of my life the **** I get always has a different build number than everyone else or so it seems
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Its been said the hardware is exactly the same. Just a rebrand for marketing. As long as you make a backup of your partitions first there's no harm in trying the firmware for the identical model.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] daddimane816:
Full OTA?

Any chance of getting a full ota for the ONA19TB007? (10.1 w/ keyboard)

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] just lou:
Just to let you know, I'm in the same boat as you when trying to install the OTA update. I get the same message.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Not much of a fix, but refrain from modifications to system, vendor and recovery partitions. Makes for a helluva good preventative measure. If all else fails you can follow [MENTION=4267834]caffiene[/MENTION]Pizza's guide to format and flash a full dump with spft. It works perfectly. Then you should be able to start updating from the earliest dump to current update.

That would be the only time you would want to format via spft by the way.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] just lou:
FWIW, mine is completely stock and was bought around launch. I've never received an OTA and manually trying to install them fails too.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Try the no-root activity launcher from play store and see what options it gives in wireless update app. Don't know if it will have the capability to force an update or if that only works in rooted version. Haven't tried it but know the root version works, hell its free to try and see. Maybe it will work.

If not, then something has been wrong for a while now. Flash full dump through SPFT and should correct whatever it is.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] just lou:
I tried to force the update with Activity Launcher, but no luck. It goes thru the update process but doesn't actually update. Still on the original release. Is it possible the July OTA update file for the ONN 8 is corrupted?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I wouldn't know what to do other than study logs and try to figure it out. Or, if you really want the updates, take the easy road with spft. Save your data first. I wouldn't make a backup because you wouldn't want to restore whatever problem you're trying to rid yourself of. Just save the data you want to transfer. Follow the guide I mentioned earlier and you should be good.

Just curious, Are your apps updating? What security patch does it have?

Wouldn't know about the update being corrupt, I haven't used Onn firmware in quite a while now.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] just lou:
Apps update fine. Security patch is April 5th, 2019.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Have you taken a logcat when you try to update? If so post a link to it, I would like to take a look.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
I'm about to just ditch my rooted setup and SP Flash it, but I'm worried about bricking it, as SP doesn't seem that stable.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
If you use guide that CaffienePizza wrote using his dump you should have no problem. I can confirm it works flawlessly if you use SPFT and 002 dump from his server and follow his guide. If you follow his guide to the letter any instability would be on you. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80574967&postcount=192
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Pix12:
I did hear in the one root thread that the Onn 8 OTA servers are dead.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] just lou:
I'm done with this tablet for now. I tried to install SPFT, but the needed driver won't install correctly. Says: "This device cannot start. (Code 10) The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device." This thing isn't worth the headache.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Said that a few times myself. Can't remember the name of the drivers Windoze tries to install for it but it's screwed up for multiple MTK devices that I know of, maybe all of them. I used usbdeview and removed all mtk drivers then installed mtk drivers in legacy mode I think it's called. Didn't get to far into installing unsigned drivers as I run windoze in test mode anyway. There's plenty of guides on unsigned drivers but test mode is easiest to me. Bear in mind I only use windoze when I have to for things like my SigmaKey that aren't Linux compatible. So security isn't really a concern when I keep nothing on it and install a different windows 10 every 2 to 3 weeks. But yeah, drivers for the Onn tablets can be a ***** at times and a breeze other times.

Yeah I think so. I had one that I've tried reflashing and everything goes ok but won't boot. I've used a second unit to charge the battery so I know that's not the issue. At this point the only tool I can use is SPFT and I get the green light with it. I've tried flashing One item at a time to see if I can atleast get into recovery. The x007 always gives me troubles.

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
If feeling brave you could try ultraflash. If nothing else is working it's worth a shot. 'fastboot oem ULTRAFLASH_en' will enable it then 'fastboot oem ULTRAFLASH: <part. to flash> ' then 'fastboot flash <part. to flash>.img'. After flashing chosen partition you have to reboot bootloader to flash another .img. There is a continue command but it did not work when I used it, could have been operator error, don't know. I was just blindly testing it after finding commands referenced in lk.bin, so most likely error on my part. Ultraflash allows bulk transfer and flashing of protected partitions that fastboot does not normally flash, you will see monitor output showing bootloader and screen on tablet will have different output showing bulk transfer and percentage if I remember correctly. I don't know a whole whole lot more than that and documentation was non-existent everywhere I searched for it. If you cant get it to work let me know and I'll try to help as much as I can.

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The update.zip is intended to be flashed with stock recovery on a device that has not been modified. To flash it using TWRP, you can modify the updater-script and remove the asserts and block device checksums.
