I have the exact same device (bought off Amazon UK). It came with 'X6D 1.1' firmware #153, and the widgets list only contains Google Search.

I've just flashed it to #348 and now I have to hold the power button in to boot! It would also appear the touchscreen and the side buttons are unresponsive.

Looks like we need to flash #157 instead (look on slatedroid, i'm not allowed to post links).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] palm_pollux:
Firmware #348 is for device without g-senser/pinch-zoom, so you're right #157 is the way, but doesn't solve power button issue.

I have mine with a usb cable connected between USB Host and USB OTG, and is working just fine, at least for now. Everything seem to be working correctly (WI-FI, SD CARD, Sound, Touch screen/Side buttons, Pinch/Zoom, G-Sensor).

Didn't test HDMI.

Applyed root with no problem, now widget problem is solved (Slatedroid)

I have now firmware #157. The device came with #153 X6D MID 1.1 but is actualy a X5A in the back plate, and it has 2 x 1500mA battery, not 1300mA (I took a peak inside the device). The battery is actually quit good, been testing device for 3+ hours and finished with aprox. half battery.

Touch screen seems a little unresponsive, at least when compared to my Xperia X1. Anyone knows if there's some settings/app to increase screen sensitivity?

Broadband (3G) Stick and/ord Ad_Hoc Wifi

Has anyone figured out how to use a broadband stick (Huawei E160 - the most sold over here in germany - for example) or at least Ad_Hoc-Wifi on the X5A?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberfux:
@jenotc

Do you have set FWDN to "low level format" or "quick" ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jenotc:
I have tried both. In normal mode device does not respond.

Even opened the device to swith it to debug mode, so it would allow loading when no operating system is present. It is only then - FWDN recognizes device, but at the same time starting to load gives an error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberfux:
Ok, next question: Do you use a NEWER Windows than XP? Won't work! ONLY Win XP works with FWDN (don't ask why, i had to set up an old crap machine running XP for that)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jenotc:
Yes I have tried on two different WinXP both home edition and tried on Win7 as well.

All the same. Device initializes and then error 6002. about floating point.

Power button problem solved

For those who flash #157 and can only connect device with USB cable or power button pressed, like me, you might try to flash this firmware

Can't post link

Found it in slatedroid under "New Official X5A-SENSE Firmware" thread, second page

It's X6D#153 (the one i originally had) - Folder is named X6D163-ROM and for me it did the trick.

Installed it 10 min ago, added root and AppWidgetPicker fix, all is working

Don't know about battery life or anything else, but at least dont have to send device back to Merimobiles

Hope this can help someone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alt236:
Hi Asure,

I modified the root script you have in #2 to include the latest Superuser APK and to install AppWidgetPicker.

I also added some feedback on what it does as it runs.

There is a readme in there as well now pointing back to this thread.

I am attaching it to this post and mirroring it here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jenotc:
OK ..... I fixed my problem :)

in my case, when I had swithed the hardware in recovery mode I needed to hold all three buttons continuously while device is flashing the ROM.

If process wan't finished and I released buttons it went to floaating point error.

So this means if you think you have bricked your device ... try manually swith onboard to recovery mode. .... Set up FWDN .... start device with three buttons and DO NOT release them untill the process is over ...... woila.

Only problem I have right now is .... that I have the powerbutton or USB problem. Unplug/release it .. device goes blank.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] metamorph.fish:
I have X5A-G which does not sleep properly. In "Spare Parts" I see that it's running 100% of time. In standby mode it eats the battery up as if it was turned on.

Tried a whole lot of firmwares, #157, #153, and #167, #176 for Phecda P7... Nothing helped.

I wonder if I get a defective sample or they're all like this. Does anybody experience such a problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alt236:
Mine is the same.

The only thing the on/off switch does is control the screen. The device keeps running normally in the background.

Does the LED on the bottom left remain on all the time as well?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Hello,

Yes the LED stays on for all working firmware's. I beleive that these tablets never sleep. I also beleive it has something to do with all of the phone functions that are included in each firmware. If someone has a complete list of what Google elements can safely be removed without breaking the market I will make a flashable zip for all to try.

Merry Christmas

sdcard firmware update

hi, everybody.

recieved a X5 (w/o gsens,buttons,gps).

I choosed sdcard.

From user manual: copy tcBoot.rom and nk.rom on the root of Sdcard and turn on the mid, than press power button, installation will start and automatically finish.

After i plug the sdcard and turn on device message on chinese appears. so i press power button shortly. another message apperars. after 10-20 sec 3rd message appears and what should i do there i dont know. Via manual firmware will install automatically.

help please. write all steps of installing via sdcard. hope somebody used this way.

thank you.

Market-Problems

Hi, i've got some seriuous problems with the Android market on my X5A:

Since a few days i can't download anything: It starts but then it "cancels".

It's NOT the account (works on other device (also a X5A)), and NOT the new market (worked before).

I cleared the cache and deinstalled all updates (can't delete settings, it's "greyed out", also can't uninstall the market (tried also with Advanced Task Manager)...

Other markets like the AndroidPIT AppCenter work fine - till they have to download from the normal market...

edit:

Done! Reinstalled #348 and all worked - sometimes it's just better to reinstall even if you want to find the bug...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
Good to go

I have one of the X6D models from Merimobiles with #153.

I have rooted the device and pushed the powerwidget.apk and it is working as it should now. I really don't see any reason to screw with it further aside from my WiFi being iffy.

At least now I can have the power widget on the homescreen to toggle wifi. Angry birds played for a good while on Christmas evening (I did a full power drain and charge before wrapping it).

I did notice that the Device powered itself off like the battery was dead. When I turned it back on, it had 50%. I'm assuming the first battery drained, died, and switched to the second battery. I don't know if that is proper (I wouldn't think so) but whatever works.

Replacement power supply??

Has anyone found a replacement power supply for the X6D? I'm not very happy with the one that came with it. The US adapter on mine doesnt hold on very well. Several times i charged my X6D only to find out that the adapter wiggled loose and it didnt charge at all. Battery life on these are too short to not have a reliable power adapter. Any help would be great.

Weird error

I recently got the following error on my X5A - and it's not the LCD Density Changer App, that error came in other Apps too.

[YOUTUBE]6e1eA2YBd1o[/YOUTUBE]

Looks like a hardware problem, cuz it comes during boot now, perhaps the cold weather? *g*

edit:

Looks like it was a cold soldering point on the 4-pin connector-cable to the display!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
I'm using one of the later X5A's showing X6D running the stock firmware. I'm rooted.

I installed SetCPU to try to fix the sleep problem (of it never turning off). Originally it shows 720mhz max but changes showing 528mhz max. (A: )I'm not that familar with SetCPU and (B: )I don't see a preset hardware for Telechips (not surprising).

I think the profiles are making a big difference but I'm curious as the to why the max speed is showing only 528 instead of 720mhz? Any trick to get it to read and force it to run at 720 while the screen is on? We have plenty of battery so hopefully keeping the cpu at max will create a snappier experience.

[EDIT]

Screw it! I just set it to run "Performance" instead of scaling which keeps it at 600mhz. Then I have a profile (Screen Off 122mhz/19mhz) to lower the frequency when the screen is off. Feels much better going through menu's and random OS stuff.

[EDIT 2]

Actually download this setcpu.txt file and just add "720000" at the end and save it to the root of your Sd Card. Then Select Custom settings from SetCPU. Now running at 720mhz. I tried "800000" but it won't go past 720. I'm happy though!

..sorry if I am highjacking, but the following seemed important to our cause...

Hopefully I am not repeating already discovered info, otherwise I stumbled across the following links that should help us get further on a number of topics:

Telechips Android MID Quickstart

========================

Documentation topics include - Kernel Compile steps, adroid build steps, Fastboot, VTC, EVM, FWDM, MTD, Memory config, LCD, Touchscreen, USB

wenku.baidu.c#m/view/e7bd54f79e314332396893c8.h##l

The above along with the source code which was posted earlier can be found here:

I don't have a lot of time on my hands, but I will most likely look at attempting a full build and seeing where I end up.

If links don't show, please PM me and I will forward to someone who can post.

Wireless doesnt come on after flashing x5a with modified lk.rom

Hello all

I have a x5a with G-sensor. It runs Android 2.1update 1, kernel 2.6.29 (#368).

I recently modified the lk.rom in order to change its bootup screen to something else and i forgot to capture the MAC address of the device.

Right now i am not able to turn on the wifi radio within the device. Is there anyway i can get to write a new Mac address to the device using FWDN?

I see that i can get to do this using FWDN but it doesnt seem to work.

Any direction will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Disregard, I found that by leaving that value as is, the program worked on the rom for my tablet!, I only had to change 1 other value at each occurrence.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
SetCPU made a HUGE difference. I've been running at 720mhz Min/Max all the time while having a sleep profile while the screen is off.

I also installed Advanced Task Killer to kill all running programs 10 seconds after the screen is turned off. I do this specifically for my 4 year old because I found he was launching tons of games... which would kill it. Now he'll play a game and turn the screen off when he's done, which will kill the running apps so it doesn't sit there sucking the battery down and process power.

I can honestly say that the unit is pretty speedy and responsive after installing these apps. The only issue is the battery reading. It says it only has 10% remaining after a few minutes of usage but runs for hours after that.

Any idea?

two partitions on the sdcard works fine. just make sure the fat partition is first and the ext is second.

No way here....Creating the 2nd one disable the card.

Is there something I should mount or else?

That is strange I cannot get this and I tried 100 times with:

first fat32 primary

second fat32 or ext2 primary

and no way, only way to have the card recognize is to delete second one.

This is frustrating
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mercrapper:
How did you format the card?

Did you format it in a computer or did you use the recovery (CWM has an option in Advanced).

I used CWM to partition the card, but you will have to backup your sdcard as it will erase everything.

Actually, I partitioned my card using CWM on my HTC Hero a long time ago, then I just popped it into the tablet, started it up and it ran perfect. I have a my own apps2sd on the sdcard and even that worked. All my apps were recognized and seemed to work (except Angry Birds). I only tested a few apps though.
