[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] p-de-geus:
When i slide the keyboard out the light goes on(nothing wrong here).

Then when i wait a short time the light goes off, but when i press a key again the light doesn't go on again.

I have the HTC wm6.1 rom on my Tytn2.

Are there more people with this issue and is there a fix for it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] p-de-geus:
anybody???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] burtcom:
Do the keys actually work, despite the fact that the light doesn't go on?

3/26/24 Update:​

I got a replacement screen! here is what ive been able to do.

So far google services dont work and would need noah to help with that.

the new file app and VLC player are great alternatives for es and default file manager. Please look at the screenshots!!

I had to do a lot of tweaking to get a real stable version of this without battery dying faster. so yeah. Planned release by the end of next month.

APK Installation Guide (Q5 & Q3E) 1/5/24​

Note: We will only be erasing everything one time only, after this you can keep adding apks with this method.

Perquisite (Download Q35_Update_v2_Munk3 or Q3_Update_v2_Munk3 depending on device):

Download Here: (NOW LISTED AS ATTACHMENT)​

Everything is in the rar file, just pick your version

Firmware

Q5 or Firmware Q3E

MoGuRomZhuShou Tool (Chinese Tool)

SP Flash Tool Guide (If you don’t know how to use)

Note: Scatter File is located in Folder called “Firmware”

Section A. REQUIRED (INSTRUCTIONS BEGIN HERE)

Download: MoGuRomZhuShou.exe & Run

Select Preload APK

Select rom: (System.img)

Wait for finish loading.

Click

add APK

(Add all your apks)

Click

Package

to build your system.img

Open Directory of new image, & Rename to system.img

Replace system.img in the MStockQ5 or MstockQ3E

Always make backup of best system.img that worked for you!! SO save old system.img somewhere else/rename

Follow SP Flash Tool Guide.

Section B. Quick Flashing apk’s

ONLY FOLLOW THIS IF YOU COMPLETED SECTION A

Download: MoGuRomZhuShou.exe & Run

Select Preload APK

Select rom: (System.img)

Wait for finish loading.

Click

add APK

(Add all your apks)

Click

Package

to build your system.img

Open Directory of new image, & Rename to system.img

Replace system.img in the MStockQ5 or MstockQ3E

Always make backup of best system.img that worked for you!! SO save old system.img somewhere else/rename

Open Sp Flash tool

SELECT ONLY DOWNLOAD MODE

Check Only System.img/Android

This should Flash your device faster and save all your data. Follow Section.B anytime you need a new app. (TBH A little longer in steps and flashing, but you save data)

2-3 min boot up time possibly longer depending on application. If your app is big expect longer times! My apps are small so anything under 10min boot logo is fine. But anything above 10min, might just mean you soft-bricked your device or the app is very demanding.

Fixing Bootloops & Boot Stuck:

Use reset pin

Follow Section A. (But use the previous system.img that worked for you!!!)

Important: Since this is running android 4.4.2, the apk you need to install must also be 4.4.2, but it may not work because timmkoo has realy dumbed down their device. (I think some files for certain apps are missing)

That’s it, install whatever you want.

leave a thanks :}
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Hey Munk.3! I have the same device, and I was wondering if you ever got anywhere with the Timmkoo Q5? I'm definitely not an expert but I've done a few things with the Android OS, might be able to help out a little if you like?

For anyone else reading this, the device runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, pretty much just plain AOSP except with all the main features removed (i.e. they have removed the "Apps from Unknown Sources" section from the Security settings.

Also, one quick note: The device uses an MTK chip but there is no ADB driver available for the device, so running adb-devices simply shows the device as "offline".

Cheers!
[General Topics] Munk.3:
Saw this after seeein your other post, but yeah man I would love the help!! I need as many hands as possible. I'll send you pm on info about device when I get to my computer. And since you saw my development on my other threads, which others haven't seen yet, iv made son progress.

Though I need more experienced people to help as well!

Your the 15th person to ask me about the device within one week. People really need this device unlocked and back to having full settings.

Also in terms of adb driver, I noticed that as well. But it gets the serial number of device then says offline. (When using adb) so quit interesting.
[General Topics] Munk.3:

this is only cosmetic. and many thanks and appreciation for the devs who made apex launcher (thats compatible with android 4.4.2)!

im still woring on updates. Im trying to either get a new rom on timmkoo or get apk installations working.
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
You can download the files that @Munk.3 has published, and use the SP Flash Tool to flash the ROM onto the device. I think he has provided instructions within the download on how to do that (I presume so but I'm not going to download the whole thing just to find out xD)

Cheers!
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Ahhh my apologies, @Munk.3 has already answered below - hadn't seen that. Sorry!
[General Topics] jaythamanager:
can I test your next release
[General Topics] Munk.3:
Have you tried the cosmetic update already?

Also I'm still Working on the next release. I haven't even gotten apk installation working unless its through flashing.

So you can try it whenever I release the next one.

I have a Q3e and it seems to work the same (the only difference is wifi, but the device has wifi feature as seen in the settings). Can I enter this system? Would you check
[General Topics] Munk.3:
You probably don't have the hardware or WiFi. And I on own a Q5, but I can try to check the firmware later and compare the two android systems/apps.

However I'm busy trying to port a ROM.

Actually, i you can I would like your help in testing the Q3. Since you have the device.
[General Topics] yarakus:
Even though the Wi-Fi feature is visible in the settings, I somehow managed to activate it. Maybe there is not much difference between the two devices.I will be here for any help.
[General Topics] Munk.3:
So wifi does work for your device...okay that's decent to know then. On Tuesday i'll send you the firmware the apex launcher so you'll get a nice ui at least.
[General Topics] yarakus:
Thanks. Will I be able to install the APK file I want? What are its nice advantages?
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Hmmmm. Flashing the whole ROM shouldn't be an issue, that's what I used to do - in fact flashing the whole ROM should solve your issue - you should NOT flash just the userdata.img file, do not do that - that will delete all of your data.

Did you try flashing the Q5 firmware? I don't have a copy of the Q3E however I believe the only difference is in the Settings app (and the details in build.prop). I would try flashing the Q5 stock ROM - someone else did it before, and then they were able to use WiFi on their Q3.

Good luck! Cheers, Noah =)
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
It is different for @Munk.3 and I. I'm getting about 90-95% apps working, Munk's getting about 50% to work. I'll grab your email, I need to write to Munk first but then I'll get in touch - have you joined the Discord?

Thanks for dropping by! Cheers, Noah =)
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Did you modify the image yourself?

If so, where did you put the APKs? (i.e. which folder?)

Cheers, Noah =)
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Hi @yourmusicjuice,

Would you be able to let me know your email address? You can send it either here on the main forum or you can DM me if you prefer.

Cheers, Noah =)
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
Hmmmm.. that's pretty strange. Where are you placing the APK files? (like which folder are you putting them in?)

Cheers, Noah =)

P.S. the only time I had something similar was when I included a non-functional version of the Settings.apk file... then it wouldn't boot up. I later discovered that when I modified the Settings,apk file, my PC had thought it was a virus and deleted it - the file I copied to the device was actually an empty APK (it was just a placeholder for the deleted file xD) - if that makes sense.

Munk.3​

When will we be able to get a new img update ??
[General Topics] NoahDomingues:
@Munk.3 is really busy at the moment - and so am I - we've got a ton of stuff to do for college, so apologies if things are going a little slow at the moment.

I'm not sure exactly where he's at in terms of a new image - I think he's focusing mainly on either porting a ROM (harder but is the preferred option, if possible - I have a good one that should work but haven't had time to try it) - OR at least getting app installations working using Package Manager.

I'll let you in on something though - I'm currently working on a custom ROM for the Timmkoo devices - named Lithium. It's a rebuild of the stock firmware - trying to improve and redesign as much as I can - it's still early though and it will take me a while to get it to the point of release.

Cheers, Noah =)

[General Topics] yourmusicjuice:
yourmusicjuice@gmail.com please send asap
[General Topics] Munk.3:
basically im working on porting and getting better performance. Because you seem to be building / messing with the apk installlations.

as of right now i may push out a test.img to my beta participants. It will include the same system.img but with an opensource Minecraft clone or 3d driving simulator copy to see performance in terms of fps and stability.

also psp emulation as well....

so April 5th is when i will push out the beta test (at elast i hope to do so)

and would appreciate donations from anyone, so i can purchase the device once more since i ripped the connector. as of right now im limited to the words of beta testers so i can only do so much in terms of updates and testing.

But regardless, thanks for the motivation everyone and give a big hug to noah for getting things done as well!!

Hello! My Timmkoo Q3e MP3 player, for some reason, will not connect to my computer. I have updated the drivers, used all ports, and attempted with another computer; it will charge but not connect. Is there a way for me to still jailbreak it or fix this problem?

Has anybody tried anything with the file system of the Moon Plus Reader Pro app? I noticed that it shows all the system files that the native file manager hides, and I am wondering if anybody has tried anything with that. I tampered with it a bit and found the images that the Timmkoo restart animation plays. It will allow deleting and moving files normally except for the system files, and if a way was found to tamper with those through the app, that could be pretty useful.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
I was looking through the system files on Moon Plus Reader, and I found Build.prop. I opened it in text mode and found a line that said

# USB Charge Only Function ro.sys.usb.charging.only=yes.

Unfortunately, this is probably why I cannot connect it to my computer.

That looks like it's for HiBy's official device. I don't think that would work for the Timmkoo.

When you changed PCs, did you copy all of the files in the "Flash Tool" folder or just the flash_tool.exe? If you just copied the .exe file, I would copy the whole folder and then try again.

Hi, I tried to upgrade my Q5 with custom firmware but it doesn't work...

I followed the guide...Installing MTK Driver, loading the 2 files into Flashing tool, turning off the Q5 with the pin, setting tool to "Format all + Download" - clicking Download... and then when I finally connect the Q5, all what happens is that Windows make the USB connecting sound, logo appears on the Q5, but the I can hear the USB disconnect sound and the Flashing Tool doesn't react to the connected device at all. I tried two different computers, both with Windows 10 installed. Also tried different USB cables... Nothing helps. Any other advice please? Thank you. I just want to try to install Apple Music old app and Flappy Bird for my son :)
[General Topics] davefelzyis15:
Hello,

I was folowing this thread for a while.

You can root the Q3E and Q5 with kingoroot by preloading the apk in system.img. The first time you try to root it, it will probably say it failed but do it a second time it should work. once you have root you can just place any apk in the vender/operater/app folder using Moon Plus Reader or root browser which is what I use.

Link to kingoroot apk: https://www.kingoapp.com/
[General Topics] Munk.3:
WHenever this happens for me i used a different cord. the default timkoo usb cable may not work sometimes
[General Topics] Munk.3:
most likely you missed a step in the sp flashing process. But not to worry im going to update this thread soon with a version thats somewhat stable and nice looking im going to upload some screen shots rn
[General Topics] Munk.3:
Magisk works fine, but the problem is that they went above and beyond so that rooting although happens is missing crucial files for more mods.

I dont really recomend kingoapp to anyone .
[General Topics] EchoLux:
Well, I actually found a file named build.prop in the Moon Plus reader file browser, and as I was looking through it as a text document there was this line that might explain why it is not connecting.

# USB Charge Only Function: ro.sys.usb.charging.only=yes.

This might have something to do with it not connecting. I have the Q3E model, but I don't know why it would be any different from the other models in such a major way.
[General Topics] Munk.3:
Mine says the same thing as well. so i know for a fact its not the problem. ONly one port and a specific usb cable works for the timkoo Q5 i have. anything else just shows charging or not connected.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
Oh, I see. Thank you for the feedback!
[General Topics] EchoLux:
It connected! All I had to do was restart it while it was connected to my computer. Now that it works, how do I add apks by renaming them to SoundRecorder.apk? Now that it is connected, I do not see the vendor/operator folders in the file manager. Do I have to use a different app to do that, or do I have to have already replaced the firmware?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
The vendor/operator folder is in the system.img file. I use the Mo_tool and go to the modify permissions section. You should find it there. If you get the app to work by replacing the SoundRecorder.apk, could you tell me how you did it? I tried it and it didn't work.

I flashed like 75 times (trying different apps) after I got one app to work.

It's weird cuz I also have the samvix q2 which also runs Android 4.4.2 (not sure about "kitkat") and that Device supports basically every app.

By the timkoo, only 3 apps worked so far. (Fx file explorer, Angry birds seasons, es file explorer)

Does anybody have a "APK version converter" that makes the app compatible? Or maybe I'm missing something... what do you think?
[General Topics] Small_ed:
the determination of whether the apps work, is based on a few deterministic factors:

1. if the apk is demanding, it won't run, and sometimes won't even allow android to boot.

2.When adding apk's to the system.img, there are multiple places to put it, depending on where you put it can determine whether it works or not.

I'm sure there are others, but the two I have listed are the most probable
