I fnally got mine today, took 14 days from China.

It's simply a superb "web browsing" tablet, and I don't have anything to complain. For the price this is almost a no-brainer. (I had to laugh yesterday seeing someone on reddit who spent $3k on an ipad). I paid less for this than what they probably paid for shipping.

I don't know yet, should I really get into mobile and I'd like a much better (?) tablet with OLED, I would get the Xiaoxin Pad Pro P11 (which is identical to the Lenovo Pro P11). But it costs 2x as much as this one, but still "cheap" compared to the mainstream stuff everyone has. For browsing and casual stuff like I wanted it for, I think the iplay 40 has everything I want. A little money WELL spent!

I received my unit yesterday, took 14 days from banggood in China, great delivery speed.

For the price, it is unbeatable. I also don't experience unexpected reboot like some users, for the price, this tablet probably has poor quality control, so I guess I got lucky.

The screen on this is gorgeous, and I still can't believe I paid so little for it, compared to all my friends with overpriced Ipad's they only use to browse the web and read newspapers.

The SOC looks kinda snappy, but don't buy this as a work horse.

Very happy with the purchase, this tablet will be a perfect kitchen recipe viewer and news/newspaper reader.
[Device Reviews and Information] flexylol:
Same, see my post before. That thing for €180 is a mind-blowing steal!! I haven't had any negatives with this tablet, quality, performance or whatever. I can only laugh at ipad people who get an ipad to watch Yoga Youtube videos.
[Device Reviews and Information] kidpunk:
Enjoying it so far.. seems well worth the price!

BTW anyone updated to latest firmware ?

Hello everyone I have question

I recently bought a tablet android it's Aldocube Iplay 40 as small computer and for work and I installed Microsoft office app but the problem is it's only reading mode? Can't edit or create ( requires Microsoft 365 membership) while my smartphone ( xiaomi mi 10t the Microsoft office app work 100% All function for free non requires anything!!! Please can someone help me with that please,,,
[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
@Hasanasim: It's the size of the device. A while ago, when Apple moved from 9.7 inch tablets to 10.x inch tablets, I read somewhere that Microsoft offers their Office app for free on devices with screen smaller than 10". Whatever is larger (and iPlay 40 falls into this category) requires membership/fees, or only viewing is available.

My questions if anyone knows:

-For enabling gesture control, I read that the iPlay 20 workaround should work:

iPlay20 tablet – few solutions for some problems:

Home Page › Forums › General Discussion › iPlay20 tablet – few solutions for some problems: Tagged: freeze, freeze...

www.alldocube.com

I haven't tried it out yet. Is there any reason why the manufacturer would even disable "com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural" in the first place?

-In order to try it... which is the correct adb package for iPlay 40 on Windows?
[Device Reviews and Information] Hasanasim:
Thank you for your help,, so that is the reason why not free!! Okay is there any way to get it free? Like modded version or something like that?
[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
I doubt it. Maybe you could try WPS Office if it suits your needs - it's free. I have it on my work device.
[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
So I tried enabling com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural via adb (I guess I already had the correct adb driver installed, because I didn't have to install anything). It works immediately without restarting. However, turns out only gestures for back and home screen work correctly, as I couldn't access "task manager" view (swipe from bottom & hold just misses the "hold" part and closes the app / goes to home screen). It was the same after restart, and there are no relevant UI settings added. So I decided to disable this for now.
[Device Reviews and Information] romjumper:
would it be possible to get a Twrp build for this tablet? If we can at least install gsi roms then this tablet will be perfect
[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
Any idea if iPlay 40 will get Android 11? I noticed they started selling iPlay 40H (sic!), which is pretty much the same device, except that it has 6200 mAh battery and Android 11.

Something similar was pulled off by Chuwi - they've had HiPad Plus, and issued another version of the device recently, which is the same hardware-wise, but its android version is higher.

Why would they do such thing...
[Device Reviews and Information] mad555:
I was thinking about the same.

There is no iplay40h firmware in their web yet.

But when we have it, shoud be compatible with our iplay40, isn't it?
[Device Reviews and Information] rxracer7:
Just got mine today. Really good value.

I think I have a problem though. I get no vibrate at all. It's turned on in settings, but nothing. Test apps fail to vibrate also. I just wanted to confirm with you guys that this tablet is supposed to have vibrate, so I can start the replacement or not.

Everything else is perfect for my needs, such a shame if I have to go through RMA immediately.

Cheers

Thx Viktor
[Device Reviews and Information] mtidroid:
Hi,

Could anyone explain to me what am I missing please.

1. I managed to unlock the bootloader thanks to reg66's guide

2. I've got the tablet reset to defaults, I enabled USB debugging

3. Now I'm struggling with this step to reflash the tablet:

Select option 1 and hit enter, then option 0 for fastbootd and enter. Device should now reboot to fastbootd. Hit enter again to return to main menu. Select option 3 and enter. Should get flashing messages in Utility-T1020S_v02 window. Keep window open for later…

When I execute run.bat I see the serial number of my iplay40, I can select option 1 and then 0. The tablet reboots but at this point it looks like it's got no connectivity with the run.bat script (ADB server).

I can then manually enter Recovery using volume keys and then select "Install update from ADB". run.bat starts responding again by the looks of it but no matter what option I chose the tablet immediately reboots to fastbootd menu.

thanks in advance,

Mike
[Device Reviews and Information] reg66:
Try with latest adb fastboot. It should boot to fastbootd with the utility numbers. I'll have a look to see which version I'm using later

I wonder if the adb issue got fixed since last time i tried it ? (as the custom rom worked but adb didn't work)
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
Good news, it seems like I found a working linux kernel source for the tablet
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
GitHub - CE1CECL/linux-sprd: Linux kernel v4.14.133 for Unisoc (Spreadtrum) T7520 (5G), T7510 (5G), T710, T510, T310, SC9863, SC9860, SC9832

github.com

I built it using https://android.googlesource.com/pl...ux-android-4.9/+/refs/heads/android10-release

I had to do slight adjustments to some files just so that they could find the required headers and it worked

I'll try building a custom rom with it

the target to build is sprd_sharkl5Pro_defconfig

interestingly, i booted the built boot.img fine using fastboot boot theboot.img however if I flash the new boot.img it stays stuck on the alldocube logo

i wonder if there's a reason
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
I don't know if it's something i'm doing wrong but seems like in either cases it stays frozen on the alldocube logo at the start

the way i do it is

- Building the kernel with the defconfig

- replace the boot.img-kernel by the Image file generated by the kernel build

- repack the boot.img and sign it with avbtool add_hash_footer --image boot.img --partition_name boot --partition_size 36700160 --key rsa4096_vbmeta.pem --algorithm SHA256_RSA4096

then I flash the new boot.img
[Device Reviews and Information] AllexBast:
For tests, I suggest temporarily disabling encryption and checking the performance of the kernel assembly. It will be so much easier
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
how would I go about disabling encryption ?

(I'm still kinda new at linux/android dev, i usually am more into game development so i'm not too familiar with this stuff)
[Device Reviews and Information] AllexBast:
If your tablet model is T1020S, then you need to flash these files via fastboot:

super.img - https://xdaforums.com/t/alldocube-i...-some-minor-compromises.4212541/post-85934331

vbmeta.img - https://xdaforums.com/t/alldocube-i...-some-minor-compromises.4212541/post-86203697

After installation, you need to apply a hard reset, otherwise encryption will not turn off. Then you can flash twrp if needed.
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
I tried flashing the super from fastbootd but everytime i do so it freezes on the alldocube logo (I did flash the vbmeta)
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
actually it's not freezing after installing the super, it's rebooting to bootloader fastboot automatically (it's easy to miss the "fastboot mode" text at the top left)

Edit : fixed it by flashing all the imgs from the vendor directory after flashing the super
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
also one thing i notice is that the twrp fastboot mode isn't functional, like, it starts but fastboot doesn't detect the device on my pc, while the stock fastbootd does work

so it seems like the kernel built from source still doesn't work, so i ended up using binwalk to kind of try to see differences between the built kernel and the original

the original is at the left and the built one at the right

seems like the original one has DER certificates which the built one doesn't have, i wonder if it's related

also the firmware update path seems to have a "+" at the end, which might be part of the problem

edit:

meanwhile I also found online vendor blobs for the device

Found more stable gsi firmware for T1020S

ANCIENTROM - Browse /gsi/V7.1 at SourceForge.net

I'm using magisk v24.3. New versions do not allow the tablet to start.
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
talking about this, i learned that adb not working on gsi might be caused by magisk, is there a boot.img without magisk that would work in unencrypted mode ?

I also experimented and seems like it's only "usb debugging" specifically that doesn't work in gsi, wifi debugging seems to work so we can call adb reboot recovery using wifi it seems
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
i tried it but for me it stays stuck in facial recognition during setup, it just never recognises my face and it seems like i can't skip face recognition, it's mandatory
[Device Reviews and Information] AllexBast:
There must be a way to cancel face unlock. Or find a place where the lighting is brighter. The camera is budget, so there may be such a problem.

After installing ANCIENT GSI ADB works in no data mode. Logs are displayed
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
i tried but there absolutely is no way to skip the face unlock, even rebooting just brings me right back to it
[Device Reviews and Information] AllexBast:
There is a way to install firmware over the one that installs without problems. Versions must match android 13. After installation, you should only clear the cache and davlik cache. All data is saved. In this way, you can jump from one gsi firmware to another without losing data and initial settings
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
is there no good way to access recovery or fastboot without going through ADB ? because seems like this tablet's "volume up + power" combination just doesn't work

i can use the researchdownload tool but it can only do flash operations, not boot operations, i also tried flashing recovery over boot to see if it would work but it didn't
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
I finally got the built kernel to work, I just had to replace the dtb file in the boot img !

it is stuck on a black screen at the moment, I think due to a mismatch of driver versions but adb devices does return the attached device

I'm right now checking the dmesg log to try to see what's the problem, but it's promising
[Device Reviews and Information] seledreams:
It indeed seems to be a driver issue, or more, a device tree issue, the device tree lacks entries for the LCD panel used so the kernel doesn't even attempt to load it, the dmesg of the prebuilt kernel tries to load the

hx83102 display

i'll probably need to copy the entries related to it from the decompiled official dtb

[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
I experimented with making this tablet a hotspot, by connecting an ethernet-to-USB adapter to its port, and then connecting an ethernet cable between this and the router's WAN port. Everything worked smoothly.

I repeated the exercise using a multiport USB-C adapter. Primarily because it also has one USB-C port for charging. The network was working perfectly as well in this case.

However, upon connecting a charger to the corresponding port on the multiport adapter, the tablet would not charge. Is this some limitation of this tablet, or a limitation of android system (i.e. no usb charging while USB hotspot tethering)?
[Device Reviews and Information] akaloith:
how to root alldocube iplay40H ? and which rom to install for A13?
[Device Reviews and Information] Neuromancer:
It seems it's the tablet's issue. Charging via the same USB-C multiport adapter while sharing hotspot via its ethernet port works just fine on an OnePlus 9 Pro phone.

If someone has any idea how to fix this (if at all possible), I'd appreciate it.

iPlay 50 has the same socket as the iPlay 40 but cannot unlock the bootloader. Looks like it uses a different private key vba_meta. Has anyone successfully unlocked the bootloader for iPlay 50.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Long time ago but I found a way, maybe someone else needs it:

Do a full format and re-install the ROM.

During the setup you get the ridiculous choice of Face Unlock + ...

Pick Face Unlock + PIN

When asked for PIN, select 'no PIN' or 'skip'

You get warnings etc, select skip again.

After full setup you can select in setting to set a PIN in the security settings.

Tested this on the 'AncientOS ROM' posted here. I will now switch back to CherishOS so see if works too.

I realized the latest one is iPlay40H(T1020H)-EN-20221027.
