I have installed the latest stock firmware of Iplay 50 pro. Then I installed the latest Derpfest Android 14. One thing I don't know how to fix is that my pc doesn't detect my iplay now. I think all others are functioning well except MTP. I can't transfer any file to and from tablet to pc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Don't knoew if anyone is interested in using the built-in FM radio with GSI, I created magisk module for iplay 50 mini pro to allow use of built-in FM Radio on GSI, it's still experimental and in early development. Radio works fine but sound is broken through both headset and speakers but working through Bluetooth, don't know if it will work on iplay 50 pro and pro max but it should do, testers are welcome.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
settings -> type in the search bar "build number" or something similar, click 7 times and go back to settings and look in the search bar for default USB configuration, click and select file transfer
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
It is ok now. MTP is now working.👍
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dmouck:
This is exactly what I hope to achieve. I recently picked up the iPlay 50 Mini and got stuck at unlocking the bootloader. Can you please share your process in greater detail on how you got LineageOS on the iPlay 50 Mini? Thank you in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
Well, I don't know. I did quite the opposite. The default was file transfer and I toggled to no data transfer. Then the next day the mtp became ok. Derpfest is working fine now. The sound is loud enough for movies and music. Battery is good.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
Of course from no data I toggled back to file transfer. MTP is now working so fine. You try Android 14 GSI friends. It's so light and buttery compared to the latest stock rom. Enjoy the MTk 99-chip tablet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jerky_san:
Which android 14 gsi did you try? I tried the derpfest one but the launcher kept crashing over and over
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
I flashed Derpfest Android 14, mate. The launcher is fine. And I also use Nova launcher.

Has anyone else tried the latest (Android 14) version of crDroid from https://github.com/naz664/crDroid_gsi/releases/tag/v2023.12.23 ? Any issues encountered?

I've put it on iPlay 50 Pro. A few observations:

-The app drawer has incorrect colors in white mode, it's hard to see anything. I've switched to dark mode.

-No Google Services toggle (Control Google services and core apps) under Settings / crDroid Settings / Miscellaneous.

-Some items in Settings (e.g. updates, wireless alerts, android intelligence...) crash, but they're not really important to me.

-The Settings "app" somehow switched to phone/scaled version. I.e. it only displays one level of settings at the same time, without the "bar" on the left, no matter what size of font/display you choose. Previously, it would depend on the font size. (I think the "scaled" version was also in Firefox browser, i.e. it didn't really display the "desktop" website no matter what.)

Otherwise it's a great release. You can even change the size and shape of buttons in quick settings (pull-down), getting rid of their oversized Android 12 and 13 design.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyanide_zh:
everything works fine on Android 13 crdroid GSI except FM radio because it is not included in the system.Seems that FM radio must be compiled from source code.

I just did an OTA update of Derpfest. It stuck on ALLDOCUBE logo. It seems not booting from OTA update. Any solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
Oh I did install via fastboot the update. It's installed now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samasana:
Reset thru recovery or fastboot. It will solve the crashing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ng0177:
Same here. @derd3 may have a solution. In detail, following https://droidwin.com/how-to-install-lineageos-gsi-rom-on-iplay-50-mini-pro-max/ we are stuck here:

Hello. I'm also an owner of the iPlay 50 mini pro now. I would like to install LineageOS or something else I trust but I can't even unlock the bootloader. I went through this whole thread but I still encounter two issues:

1. `adb reboot bootloader` just reboots the device and brings me back to Android. I can boot into fastboot using `adb reboot fastboot` though.

2. `fastboot devices` lists my device. But no command to unlock works.

- `fastboot flashing unlock` always results in "FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')"

- `fastboot oem unlock` always results in "FAILED (remote: 'Unable to open fastboot HAL')".

I'm familiar with Android and the tools but I have not much experience in installing custom roms. Some years ago I installed LineageOS on a Moto X4. Otherwise I'm happy with the easy installing of GrapheneOS :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Enable OEM unlocking in Developer options.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ballbes:
Sorry I didn't say that explicitly but I enabled it and checked it several times. Same as USB-Debugging.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Are you using fastboot flashing unlock command on bootloader or fastbootd?

use it in bootloader.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flashing unlock
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ballbes:
Like I said, `adb reboot bootloader` doesn't load into bootloader. It just reboots with showing me "ALLDOCUBE - Powered by android" very long.

`adb reboot fastboot` seems to reboot into bootloader. I will try to enter the unlock command there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ballbes:
I think I'm not able to boot into bootloader at all. It's always stuck in the very first screen with the ALLDOCUBE logo and doesn't do anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ballbes:
Yea, even if I boot manually into recovery menu and select boot bootloader it only reboots and shows the logo until I do something.

iPlay 50 Pro - any chance for Android 13+?

I've been eyeing iPlay 50 Pro, but I've noticed it only has Android 12. Based on previous Alldocube tablets, do you guys think there is a chance they'll offer at least one upgrade, to Android 13? Or will it stay on 12, and that's it. It's kind of...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ballbes:
Hey man, thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. LIke I said before. In your link in step 4 "4. fastboot flashing unlock" results for me in this error:

```

FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')

I think I'm in the right state though because at the top of the screen it says "fastbootd" and when I run `fastboot devices` it lists my device.

I have no idea whats wrong or what to do.

Hi all,

I have a Mini 50 Pro. I have followed directions--yes including successfully flashing vbmeta.img multiple times with --disable-verification etc, but it is still bootlooping with the "Orange state" error.

Now I am trying to use SP Flash to restore the stock OS and I cannot get the tablet to a point where SP Flash recognizes it and starts flashing.

I have the MTK drivers installed. I can power off the tablet only by going into Recovery mode and then "Power Off". Then in SP Flash I click "Download".

As soon as I plug in the tablet, it powers on and starts bootlooping, and SP Flash is none the wiser. I have tried various combinations of holding down volume buttons before and after plugging it in with no luck. I have also tried Recovery Mode, Bootloader, FastbootD, and Rescue modes with no luck.

How do I get this thing into whatever Mediatek flash mode will work with SP Flash? Is there an IMG I need to flash? Should I just go down the list of components in SP Flash and flash each one manually in bootloader mode?

EDIT: I manually flashed each partition based on what SP Flash showed in its list, and I have a usable system again! However it still gives that stupid "Orange State" error. Wait... what if I --enable-verity and --enable-verification on vbmeta?

EDIT 2: OK so I was able to remove the "Orange State" error simply by locking the bootloader again with "fastboot flashing lock_critical" and "lock". Hurray, back to normal!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Leave the sp flash tool ready and turn on the device when it restarts, insert the usb into the device
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nscreated:
Yes. That is what I have been doing. SP Flash is unresponsive. Wish I understood why. I have the MT drivers installed and they appear to be functional. However I was able to accomplish much the same just by going into bootloader and "flashing flash" each item from the scatter xml.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Was the vbmeta you used from the firmware?

I use the drive booster to update the drivers, whenever this happens I use it and it solves my problem.

search on google for lrepacks and search for drive booster
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nscreated:
I think it is a driver issue after all... even though the iPlay usually shows up, I do get a Windows error about a certain usb driver not able to load due to a security setting. I'll have to mess around with that at home but at least I have a (somewhat cumbersome) workaround.

I just had an OTA update almost 200mb from the original rom (mirror bug fixies and Rom was from January), when was downloaded stuck in installing. I don't know what happen. I will restart my tablet even it says not restart.

Edit: Finally the update complete and the only change is that chrome don't work. I must delete the updates from chrome to make it works. Nothing else until now.

Edit 2: Ghost touch issues still exist in these 2 specific spots.

I was able to get my bootloader unlocked, but trying to flash a GSI rom gets me into a bootloop and I end up having to restore the factory firmware with the vendor tool.

I'm basically just doing (from fastbootd)

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot -w

I did notice I get an error on the cache erase output from fastboot -w (the first step works, but it has an error when trying to erase cache)

Am I missing a step here or something?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Did you write vbmeta in bootloader?

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

get the firmware vbmeta.

If there is an error you will have to sign vbmeta
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PedroHHI:
Ahhh... so I need the vbmeta from the actual alldocube firmware? That must be the step I'm missing.

Thanks!

Is there an easy way to get it? The firmware I have from them is a pac file.

SPD Flash Tool R27.23.1902 for Windows - Official SPD/Unisoc Flash Tool

Download the SPD Flash Tool R27.23.1902 to flash stock firmware on Spreadtrum smartphones and tablets.

download and run spd upgrade, select the gear icon, it will open your files, then you select the .pac, wait for it to load when finished, some information will appear in the top corner.

Once done, go to the folder where you extracted the spd, look for a folder called ImageFiles, enter it and then enter the folder that appears.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PedroHHI:
I assume it's the vbmeta_system.img?

Did you flash everything in fastboot or fastbootd?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Isaac™:
Well, I took a look at the firmware and saw that it contains a vbmeta-sign, try using this command in the bootloader:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta-sign (and drag the vbmeta-sign from the firmware here)

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta (and drag the vbmeta-sign firmware here)

Well, if there is an error I think you will have to create a vbmeta.

google how to create a signed vbmeta

Well, I don't use this device and my knowledge of unisoc is very basic, try looking for communities that talk about unisoc, maybe one will help you better.

Well gsi I don't know if it's possible, but root I think it works.

Hi all! Yesterday I flashed my iplay 50 pro in lineageos 21 bgn. Everyone enjoys the new firmware. However, I now have a problem sending the tablet to sleep. He goes to sleep according to the settings, but after 4 seconds he wakes up again. and so on in a circle. I disabled all applications one by one. still wakes up. I didn't change anything in the settings. everything is according to standard. The only thing: if you double tap on the status bar, it goes to sleep and doesn’t wake up!

Also, when set to charge while the tablet is turned off, the screen with the battery image does not turn off at all.

12. fastboot erase system_a,

and

Keep getting this:

fastboot erase system,

but same error, "partition does not exist,"

Could anyone tell me which partition name I should use??

Thanks a lot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:

my problem is the driver, I have to reinstall the driver again, not sure why,

one more question,

This "T1030M" doesn't have the the Double-Tap for wake-up screen, right?

even I have LineageOS 20 or 21 installed?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
The Iplay 50 Pro does not support the double-tap-to-wake feature. Installing GSIs (LineageOS, CrDroid, etc.) will not add this feature.

Same with Widevine L1.

I recommend the Derpfest 13. I've already tried several GSIs. The one I liked is the LineageOS 20 because it is so simple and the settings menu looks more professional but could not pass the CTS profle so I tried Derpfest13.

The Derpfest is a lot more customizable than LineageOS and can pass the CTS profile.

I have been waiting for a 8” tablet worth it. I loved the iPad mini but doesn’t have the functionality I need for my studying of Japanese, I need an android.

I just ordered the 50 mini hopeful for both a root and a better screen then the Samsung 7a lite. If you make any progress please let me know! Root I guess “isn’t” necessary but having things like Mi-Form make things so much better.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
1. First I recommend that you flash the latest stock firmware dated 07312023 (MMDDYYYY).

In fact, I wanted to do this first (I have iPlay50Pro(T1030M)_EN_20230731.zip), but it also seems to not work. OTA doesn't detect anything new (the tablet has March version). and if I try local update, it says something about incorrect parameters (tried RAR, ZIP with regular compression, and ZIP with 0 compression).

Then I tried with SP Flash Tool, but it doesn't detect the device. I'm guessing I need another, third set of drivers for this, or I have a wrong version of the tool?

I tried: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1936_Win.zip, SP_Flash_Tool_v6.2208_Win.zip, and SP_MDT_v6.2316.00.zip. Auth file was copied from MT6789_DA_File.zip.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
If you ask me (I have both iPlay 50 Mini and Pro at this time), the Mini version is actually awesome without any hacking. It has a reasonably clean Android 13 (plus you can still disable the apps you don't like and replace them with those from Simple Mobile Tools, for example). The screen is great, the battery quite durable for me, etc. And even the default launcher is usable.

It seems they finally got it right, and it escapes me how they couldn't have done it with the Pro version. Pro has Android 12 with the same crappy launcher and homescreen theme as iPlay 40, and (the same as my old iPlay 40) it also doesn't detect new versions OTA.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HisokaRyodan:
This actually makes me SUPER happy! Don’t get me wrong, the Samsung tab 7a lite isn’t a bad device for the money. I can do all I need to but with my OCD the extreme light bleed def drives me nuts and it’s BAD.

Looking forward to it though! Is there a way to make any apps a floating app in a13? Like make it a floating bubble that you can open then close? I use it for a Japanese to Japanese dictionary so if I’m reading manga or something I can look up words without “switching” apps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
Here are the steps:

01. Install the Mediatek Windows 11 drivers

02. Extract the Iplay 50 Pro firmware (the file you've downloaded in RAR format)

03. Extract the SP flash tool

04. Run the SP flash tool (run as admin)

05. from the SP flash tool choose a DOWNLOAD XML file (click the browse button)

06. Select the Flash.xml from the firmware folder you've extracted in step 2 (inside the download_ agent folder)

07. Turn off your Iplay 50 pro tablet and connect to your Windows computer

08. Press the Download button in the SP flash tool. You need to wait for a few seconds.

I hope this helps.
