I'm on GSI LineageOS 13 by Andy; what is a good way to update the patch without erasing the current data or apps on the current LineageOS version? Just ignore Fastboot erase userdata and Fastboot erase metadata, right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Audio not working through speaker or headphones?, if headphones go to the settings app, 1st category "phh treble settings" then misc settings then enable use other way to detect headphones.

If speakers I didn't encounter such bug before but you may try the app called "lesser"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
You can try dirty flash as you said "flash new version without erasing userdata", before that do back up with swift backup just in case.

There is another way to do full twrp-like backup by using magisk module called data backup and restore it via related module called data restore, search them in GitHub, they are working great if used in the same rom but should theoretically work fine on different version of the same rom also.

Finally I am working on porting TWRP and I was able to boot it but still having difficulties in mounting partitions

Can someone help me. I have the non pro version and every time I try to flash the vbmeta from this file I get stuck at writing vbmeta and it does nothing. Then I tried it with stock vbmeta same thing. Stuck at writing vbmeta. When I boot to fastbootd to flash it instead I get an error saying there isn’t enough space. Then with stock vbmeta it allow me to flash in fastbootd but the tablet goes in a boot loop. Any help would be appreciated.

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...

Thanks, i still coudnt get the gsi to workm on it. just got the mini pro instead
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andyt315:
If I change to another gsi, do I need to run "Fastboot flash vendor mod-vendor.img" in fastbootD before flash the gsi?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
no, this is only needed in the first time, however if you flashed back stock rom using spflash tool, you have to flash modified vendor again as it will be wiped by flashing stock

YESSSS! After many many hours I finally have a GSI ROM! Thank you!

Note to any others: Step 1 is important.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nscreated:
I spoke too soon. So far I've tried two GSI ROMs and both have stalled on the first boot animation. I know it's supposed to take a while but this seems way too long.

The ROMs I've tried are:

* lineage-20.0-20240215-UNOFFICIAL-gsi_arm64_gNLatest Lineage 20 bGn

* ProjectElixir-4.0-arm64-bgN-14.0-20240108-1305-OFFICIAL

Is this process sensitive to which GSI ROM you use? Is there a different one I should try?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
No, almost any compatible GSI should boot fine, repeat the process again and make sure that you followed all the steps correctly, if failed consider join the group or contact me at telegram it's easier to communicate there
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Anyway there is a new method for booting GSI, flash DFE OR RO2RW and you can flash gsi, @ Adri on telegram has the credit for this method

Replied on the older thread by accident. Just picked up a Mini Pro this past weekend. Most due to this thread and the 'bang for the buck' of this tablet. Right now, just running stock, but I would love to upgrade to A14. Right now, I am running V2.0_20240222 firmware. Do I need to attempt a downgrade or can I just follow the instructions? Not new to rooting and custom ROMs. I know enough ADP to be dangerous. Just don't want to brick a brand new device. TIA
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Are you the one posted in the group?

I think you have NFE varient, correct me if I am wrong.

If you are using NON-NFE varient, flash November firmware then follow this guide.

If you are using NFE varient, things are more complicated, but also possible:

1. Start from stock firmware "clean stock is preferred, with unlocked bootloader"

2. Flash only the super partition from November non nfe firmware, check if booting, then follow this guide.

Also you can try @f1team ready made super
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Okiera29:
yeah, been trying a lot of stuff. right now I am having issues even getting the bootloader unlocked. It is a driver issue. I downloaded the sptools zip, but it still doesn't see my tablet. Running win 11, debloated, so that may be it. Planning on trying a different computer tonight as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
When you see Alldocube logo that means you are already on bootloader, check connection via "fastboot devices", if you didn't see your device it's likely to be driver problem, I know you installed the drivers but mediatek drivers are very buggy, if you have a linux pc it works better as the drivers not needed, otherwise you need to install drivers again or remove driver manually from device manager and install them manually
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TAM1984:
Thanks but it seems as if I actually have no problem with the MediaTek in Windows 10! but when I'm in bootloader at Alldocube logo and enter "fastboot devices" then somehow nothing comes up (see photo)! But that's strange because if I go into Android's own recovery and select "Reboot to bootloader" there, I still only see the Alldocube logo when I restart and it doesn't work any further. Well, thank you anyway, I'll try it with Linux.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Okiera29:
Yes do, that was my issue. Windows refused to see the tablet in bootloader mode. Ran a live linux session(Mint 21) and had no problems unlocking the bootloader. Took me a little bit longer, but now running on a GSI with root. Join the telegram group if you haven't already. Tons of great folks there that are more than willing to help!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
May be you are using old adb version, or the size of the image you are flashing is too large, delete product a partition and try to flash again, go to fastbootD, then "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a", then "fastboot flash system gsi.img". There also new method I will write new post about it soon, it's very easy, flash twrp, flash zip I created, flash gsi. You can contact me on the telegram group for details
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] perez6991:
I found an interesting discovery. I have the NFE variant that had the December update (20231201) installed.

I followed the guide no problem without flashing the super from the November firmware (non-NFE variant). I couldn't find out how to flash the super.img and I didn't want to lose pin code.

GSIs I flashed:

PLEASE NOTE: I have not tested anything other than if the ROM boots, some things might be buggy or not work. Flash at your own risk! It's very easy to flash another GSI however, no biggie. Test for us and report back any issues :)

Spoiler content hidden.

The listed GSI are NOT the same. Most GSI have noticeable UI lag. Evolution X being the worst. I found an audio "bug," even with a device plugged into the 3.5.mm headphone jack, audio still plays from the speaker. PixelOS has a toggle under Settings > Phh Treble Settings, under the Audio section enable "Use alternate way to detect headphones."

Personally, out of all the options here I would rank them as:

crDroid for most customizability, it seems the maintainer abandoned the GSI unfortunately

LeOS for unGoogling the device, FLOSS/F-Droid only

PixelOS for.. well the Pixel Experience, has less than a handful of customizations

All other GSI are pretty much copy/paste will little differences.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Thank you very much for your input, actually now I am working on flashable zip that will do all the job, it's now ready and being tested by members of our telegram group, now it's only a matter of flashing TWRP, Flash this zip then flash gsi
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yetDragon:
Working absolutely fantastic with the latest 20240118 firmware, and ponces' AOSP GSI! Thanks for the hard work.

Also, I found that you can just use the stock vbmeta.img by reflashing it with verification and verity disabled.

One question though.

Do you know why the original vendor.img does not work with GSI? Having a quick look at mod-vendor.img, it seems a few hardware drivers and libraries are recompiled, but beyond that, I can't understand why it works. After all, this is my first time delving into Android stuff. If you happen to know this, I would be glad to know the inner workings of this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
Great that it worked for you, unfortuantly dont know why stock vendor not working, anyway one member shared link Alldocube os2 and the new vendor is compatible with GSI
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nathanjuk:
Do you know if unlocking bootloader and flashing the GSI breaks widevine L1 on the NFE version? And if so, can it be restored to L1 by flashing the stock firmware and relocking the bootloader?

Thanks King-totti85 for your work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
not sure as I have non nfe, but this can be done by changing device fingerprint

I flashed LineageOS 21 GSI, seems to work, but UI seems to be a bit choppy and they whole UI doesn't seem to be scaled to tablet screen (unlike stock fw). Yes I adjusted the UI sizes but still it feels a bit weird. Any other recommendations for GSIs?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TAM1984:
I have had the same problem with crDroid GSI ROM from Jan 22, 2024 and some other GSI ROMs. You can try to install Project Elixir v4.2 GSI ROM from April 15, 2024, maybe it will work. I would like to try Project Elixir myself, but at the moment I just have far too much data and programs on my iplay mini pro.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonim1:
Thanks so much for conducting these tests.

As much as I purchased this device to run a custom ROM, UI lag seems like a major inconvenience. For folks who prioritize speed over functionality/less bloat, is it recommended to hold off for now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] perez6991:
I am currently running crDroid GSI. It is the smoothest out of all GSI imho. Occasionally the systemUI just force closes for no reason, no FC message, it recovers on it own. Screen Cast does not work for me on crDroid, might not be a big deal for some. Other than those things I have not noticed any other problems.

The biggest negative hardware wise is the built in audio DAC, the lowest volume setting is very loud from the speaker & 3.5mm jack. Unfortunately it's to cover up the sheer amount of static that is audible at the lowest volume. I used crDroid's settings to increase the number of volume steps to reduce volume overall. It just leads to mostly static at low volumes. The only solution is to use a type C to 3.5mm dongle. I use an Apple dongle, no static is audible now.

Where can I find these drivers? I'm working with a iPlay 50 mini pro NFE with the May 2024 firmware, if that makes any difference
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yetDragon:
If you are using Windows, connect the tablet over USB with a PC (tablet should be turned on before) and check for Windows update. The driver update will appear under an optional update menu.

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002d9​

Is it because I'm using an NFE? I thought they followed the same process as the mini pro.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] king-totti85:
don't know, try to use latest version of platform tools, also make sure that you installed drivers and enabled oem unlock from developers options, also make sure that the device is in bootloader mode "fastboot not fastbootD"

[Lenovo P11] Raging_Flames:
Thanks for the guide, I was wondering if you could help me with a problem though. Everything was going well until part 3 step 5. When I send the command on my linux laptop, it just hangs there and It doesn't say accepted or anything. I've tried pressing the vol down button immediately, I've tried waiting a second then pushing it, pushing it many times, and push and hold. No dice. When I send fastboot oem device-info it also hangs, but it doesn't hang when I send fastboot devices
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
When you send the command, if it is going to work then it will show some text on the screen of your tablet in tiny print which will go away after 5 seconds.

- Is OEM Unlocking toggled on in Developer options? Boot into the device and check. See step I.2.

- Is your device in fastboot mode?

- Does your device show up and say it's authorized (it will show an id and say Device if it is)?
[Lenovo P11] Raging_Flames:
I tried to redo the steps here. You can see earlier I ran fastboot devices and my tablet shows up. But running anything else doesn't work.
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Thanks for the video, I'm taking a look now.
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Ok based on your video there is a problem.

1. I don't know what OS you are using but it does not look like PuppyLinux which I know works. It does look like a different linux though.

2. On your laptop, I can't see if there is an ID, that is important. I see fastboot on the second line which I think is right but I can't see if it's connected.

3. When you typed fastboot flashing unlock, it did not output what it is supposed to. It should look like this:

It will say this even if you did not successfully unlock the bootloader.

4. There is nothing on your tablet screen when you are pushing buttons, so you are not doing anything. It should look like this:

[Lenovo P11] Raging_Flames:
My computer was running debian stable. I tried the guide again but used a usb bootable puppy linux, and that did do the trick! I assume there was some issue with the version of adb I had on debian, but either way it works now. Quick tip for anyone doing this, when you boot back into windows to get the boot image, you have to plug in your tablet and pair it with the recovery software. Go to the recovery page and click to download the firmware. For me, it was about 5.5 GB, the download should go and then extract to the folder OP specified. The boot.img itself is quite small, <100MB

Quick question though, what custom recovery are you using? Looks like there is no official TWRP for this tablet.
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Great to hear! So it will matter which Linux distribution you use. In case of any issues for future users, I would simply advise to use PuppyLinux which has proven to work.

You are right that I did have to pair my tablet with the recovery software in order to download the software directly from the Lenovo recovery software, although that should be intuitive based on my instructions.

I am not currently using a custom recovery as I have not found any TWRP yet for it, although I considered compiling one but got stuck at one of the steps and ran out of time. Maybe I will get around to porting TWRP, if not then there will not be one until someone else does.
[Lenovo P11] LukaNyan:
Thanks for the guide, it's very helpful !! This should work for those Lenovo xiaoxing versions too right? I'm planning to get a tablet and it's my first time with Lenovo.

What's wrong with the class 2? I'm using an SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card in my Fuze, and it works great!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] BUMP THAT:
Its the speed that the class identifies. Class 2 is a minimum write of 2MB a sec. Class 4 is 4MB. So class 4 is faster to copy to.

That's true, but I had a 6 GB Class 4 card in my Fuze before I got the 16 GB Class 2 card, and I don't notice any difference in speeds.
