unfortunately he deleted the instructions' video, so it might be there is something wrong about the tutorial, I tried to back up the boot partition myself before missing with it using mtkclient but looks like the helio g99 is not supported by the tool "yet?".

if you know any other method to backup partitions without root kindly let me know.

NB: Spflash tool also can't detect the tablet, don't know why

IPLAY MINI

I've tried translating a few Chinese sites and they seem to mention that if you send your token id to this email (cubefae@163.com) they'll send you back a signature.bin you can flash to unlock the bootloader.

I haven't tried it myself since I bought the new pro version, but maybe someone could give it a go and report back?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TAM1984:
Hi everyone,

I'm from Germany and I'm considering buying my mother the regular iPlay 50 Pro tablet with 10.4 inches next month. I wanted to ask you if the GSI method with Android 13 also works on the ALLDOCUBE iPlay 50 Pro with 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM, and MTK G99? Or is it only for the Mini Pro or generally only for Unisoc Tiger processors?

And one more thing: Are you satisfied with custom ROMs/Lineage ROMs, this GSI ROM, the original ROM, or the tablet itself?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cobraxracing:
Hey,

I have the same tablet with a GSI Rom and I am happy with it. You can flash the Derpfest Android 13. Just follow jtrakx step-by-step instructions in post #20 and you're done!

PS: I'm also from germany
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TAM1984:
Genial!

Vielen Dank für deine Antwort! Also hast du ein iPlay 50 Pro mit 8 GB RAM und dem MTK G99-Prozessor? Habe ich das richtig verstanden? Wenn ja, bin ich froh, dass du mit der GSI-ROM zufrieden bist. Ich werde mir die Derpfest Android 13 ROM ansehen und versuchen, die Schritt-für-Schritt-Anweisungen von jtrakx zu befolgen.

Viele Grüße
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cobraxracing:
Gerne... ja ich habe den gleichen!

ich werde jetzt weiter in englisch schreiben das jeder hier kann verstehen, lesen & mit schreiben.

I'm a samsung guy so it was not easy for me the flashing process and it took me some days to figure out how to do that but finally with the help from "jtrakx" I got it!

If you have problems Just ask here in the thread and you will get help!

@king-totti85 @Kurosoul SUCCESS!! I just got my second one. I tried to use MTK tool to dump the boot.img. It doesnt suppoer the G99 processor. so i said screw it and went for it. Used 'android12-5.10.149_2023-01-boot-gz.img' in GZ compression, and it worked!!!

fastboot flash boot android12-5.10.149_2023-01-boot-gz.img

I DID NOT flash a gsi yet, I currently am just on stock with root. does anyone know how to extract all the partitions on root so I can rebuild the stock firmware to give yall?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kurosoul:
I'm glad you had success man. I've been having drama getting my tablet back from my niece (it's about a two hour drive on a good day) plus I've been stuck at work.

Been reading up on the last couple posts and I didn't even know about the gz compression, so I'm going to review and familiarize myself some more.

If I get any updates or about the extraction, I'll let you know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
oh great news, thank you for sharing.

try Spflash tool and see if it works
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
I rooted successfully using the file you mentioned.. in the beginning I flashed the .gz file before decompressing it.. I went into bootloop, the I decompressed it and flashed .img file it worked successfully and rooted the device.

Unfortunately after rooting the device I am still unable to boot Gsi roms using DSU sideloader, very weird it was straightforward procedure in my lenovo legion y700, booted many GSI without even having root.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
I used this method to back up some partition,s you may want to try it

Spoiler content hidden.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HisokaRyodan:
man its funny you mention this. i tried to use spflash tool to backup the firmware but it doesn't support this CPU. i said screw it and loaded Derpfest using DSU just to see if it worked. Low and behold, it booted without issue, so I went ahead and flashed it (as i got this one to actually be used) but then I went to a bootloop even after it worked with dsu...

Which is a shame because i could have just used stock with root for my purposes...

I am trying to do a combination of flashing the kernelsu boot.img and then gsi to try and get it to work, since Kurosoul had to do somethjing like that since he was in a bootloop until he flashed the kernelsu.

Will report back if I am able to get it to boot... but may need to step away due to anger :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HisokaRyodan:
@Kurosoul do you remember if you had to do anything else besides just flash the kernelsu once you were in the bootloop for the gsi? also do you have the specific gsi file name that you flashed? Very upset now that i had root and opted to try gsi even after it worked via dsu and now i cant boot

I will check some other ROMs too.

Reducing "blue" to 85-90% in fact improves the display.

I noticed the update on the website. Is it possible to do OTA update (or any other "manual" update without losing settings and apps)?

In Settings, I have the following items pertaining to updates:

Phh Treble Settings / Updater: it returns "your system is up to date"

Security / Security update: same as above, up-to-date, from August 5

Security / Google Play system update (with smaller text "Update from"): nothing happens

System / Derpfest Updater: nothing happens or crashes Settings
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
Don't bother using the OTA. It's unlikely to work. Just download the whole updated version of your GSI and flash it the usual way but do not wipe the data (omit the factory reset procedure).

Check this link for updates:

Hello colleagues, I have bought the iPlay 50 Mini Pro (It will arrive in a couple of weeks), and I would like to know if it is possible to enable double tap to wake and sleep.

If necessary I can root. Are the steps in post #20 by @jtrakx valid for this model?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
It seems to have been successful, but... Shouldn't the Build ID be changed then? It shows TQ3A.230805.001 (not sure which one was there before, though).

The commands issued (all OK) were:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot fastboot

fastboot erase system_a

fastboot flash system_a e:\derp.img

fastboot reboot
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
Hmm..the build number may not change (i.e. same base GSI built as before) but the build date should change to reflect the update.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
The same number is shown on crDroid, so it's probably related to something else.

(Today I went quickly through crDroid, Elixir, ArrowOS, and PixelExperience Plus, and decided to stick with crDroid for now; Arrow coming close second.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Paulpatzer:
I found no way, to get the token ID out of my iPlay Mini. :-(

Maybe I didn't understand the guide how to get it, but I've not the time to figure out, why the modified fastboot to extract the token doesn't work on my computer.

Do you know any other way to get these ID?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tgraneberg:
Sorry to hear!

Try to download https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/

And then use the guide on the site Hovatek named: "How to unlock Unisoc (SPD) bootloader using Identifier Token"

You can only get to step 4 since our device uses a private key.

Try and send the output to cubefae@163.com
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nmajin:
Has anyone received a private key for the iPlay 50 Mini when sending an email to cubefae@163.com? I just sent one last night with the token, so far haven't heard anything.

What happened, were you able to flash stock rom and revive your tablet?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tgraneberg:
Yeah sorry. I've tried mailing them a few times now - no response.

Check out the "coolapk" (app/forum-whatever it is) maybe I've missed something.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Paulpatzer:
I followed the guide, managed to get a singnature.bin file like described in this guide (not shure if it is the right one, due to the fact that I was not able to use the modified fastboot for geting an identifier), but step 9 does only end in an error:

fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin

error: could not load 'unlock_bootloader': No such file or directory

I tried some other commands, i found on some other sites:

fastboot flashing unlock

...

fastboot oem flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin

...

FAILED (remote: unknown cmd.)

finished. total time: 0.005s

fastboot oem flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin

The command "oem" is either misspelled or could not be found.

I'll have a look on it, but first I'll have to get Access to that site (Access blocked). :-(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tgraneberg:
The signature.bin you create through the tutorial doesn't work since it doesn't contain the private keys we need. The only solution I've found is to write to the mailadress, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Download the APK of coolapk from apkpure or something - then you can access the forum.

iPlay50 Mini (None Pro Version) Unlock Bootloader: Done on Windows

1. Enabled Developer Settings

2. Toggle 'Unlock OEM'

3. Download 'alldocube50mini.zip' by clicking that or going to the creators github: https://github.com/TomKing062/CVE-2022-38694_unlock_bootloader

***Make sure your PC can run 'SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R27.23.1902'. On the Alldocube website it provides this for flashing system roms. On my main PC, this fails with a driver error. On my laptop it didn't and because it runs, I know it has the driver to access the device***

4. Turn off tablet

5. Extract 'alldocube50mini'.

6. Run 'unlock.bat' - This will run a bat file that will look for your device

7. Hold Down + Connect to USB Cable

8. The bat file should now start working

9. It will ask you to type 'yes' to erase the partition a bunch of times. Everytime you see this, type 'yes' then enter.

10. It will keep looping through the process until it finishes. Once finished the bat file will close

I also flashed PixelExperience Plus slim on the iplay50 mini as derpfest was to big. But its working without issue!

[Touch HD General] jdta09:
Does anyone use the built-in music player to listen to random songs in their collection?

If so, how?

I have set Shuffle on. On going into the Music Player, I select 'All Songs', naturally it shows them all in Alphabetical order so by default it starts playing the first one and then I hit the forward arrow. It takes me another song, which is random in that it has nothing to do with the first song and is not the second one in alphabetical order, but it is always the same one. The next song after that is again unrelated to the first two, but is also always the same. Basically the shuffle option is almost always the same. That's not what I call Shuffle.

Anyone any ideas?
[Touch HD General] tuomi:
I'm having the same problem and I'm amazed no one else have been posting about this or have they? Will keep on looking in the forums but if you read this and know something, please reply to this call for help :)

Edit: Been looking through the search results for "Shuffle" and no success, there isn't a mention of it in the wiki either.

Edit#2: Edited the wiki to make it reflect the status of the problem.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I have always found this with HTC Audio Manager but it took me a long time to realise. It would get stuck on artists beginning with "B" then sometimes it might venture to "C" occassionally "T" but then always back to "B". Often it would stay stuck on one album and play two or three tracks even though it was set to shuffle.

It is not until you use another music player that you realise that you have not been listening to hundreds of songs in your library.

I give up with anything to do with HTC Audio Manager and I think it is easy to get attracted by the eye candy of it but frankly it does not work well at all. Shuffle is just one of many problems.

The shuffle and sound quality on Core Player is highly recommended.
[Touch HD General] tuomi:
I've succumbed and started to use Core Player, I am allthough looking forward to see this fixed in an official rom or maybe some touch diamond 2 rom..

Is the problem still there in Diamond 2?
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I have been using WM6.5 for quite some time now but did try some ROMS with the new Manila from D2/Topaz a while back and I seem to remember it worked much better with shuffle.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
It seems there is a lot of confusion about the two. If you are trying to just root stock and don't intend to install a custom ROM, then you need to use Magisk to modify the AP md5 file. But you DON'T need TWRP to do this or to install Magisk. After flashing latest stock ROM with Odin, reboot to system and connect wifi. Skip all of the rest of the setup and enable Dev mode. In Dev option, OEM should be greyed out but enabled because you didn't enter a google account in setup. In Dev options, enable USB debugging and set USB mode to file transfer. With the USB cable plugged into the PC, should now be able to copy the magisk.apk file and the AP md5 to the tablet's SD card. Now use the File app to goto the SD card and install the magisk apk. Now run magisk to modify the AP file. Magisk will place the modified file in the internal storage Downloads folder. Copy it back to the PC and then put the tablet back in download mode to flash the magisk modified file in the AP slot and the BL and CSC files in their slots. Reboot the tablet and run magisk again. Only this time there should be an additional option to direct install. Choose that rather than the modify file option. Once the process is finished, the tablet will reboot itself and root will be installed.

edit: Before flashing the modified AP file, check it to make sure there isn't an vbmeta.img file in the tar. If there is, use 7-zip to remove it and re tar the file.

OTOH, if you intend to install a custom ROM (GSI) then FORGET ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!! GSI ROMs already have a modified boot image. Instead, go directly to flashing TWRP and using it to format data and factory reset wipe. Then use its fastboot mode to flash the GSI image. Once the GSI image is up and running it is now time to install the magisk apk. Do it by booting to TWRP and using the Install button (not fastboot) to flash the magisk apk or zip. Either one should work, but just installing the apk from the system won't. It must be install from TWRP.
