bah, let's get a fully working 2.3 before moving to something else...

steafler: Several people (including me) had to perform several upgrades/installs to get a working device. I would suggest you do the same.

You should be able to find the access points without DHCPD fix.

I used 32GB sd to update mine..I don't think it really is a problem.

About mfg, I guess you may use it to upgrade to 2.3...

On the version I have, the files are located in mfg\Profiles\MX51 Linux Update\OS Firmware\files\android.

Good luck.

So if there is no update for the pengfaxin hardware, could somebody point me to the latest available firmware? The one I have is 20110112.

I have Emit (app to stream video from PC over local network or internet, must run server app on host PC) working very well....I'm able to down-rez and stream anything up to a 720p h.264 in a watchable, non-hitching format that the pengfaxin can play well....

...but Plex doesn't work (more robust program, same function). The best I can do with some configuration of advanced settings is sound, but no video. It would be nice to have it working, as it also transcodes "channels" such as cbs.com, nbc.com, netflix, etc. that don't play well with the pengfaxin via the raw flash/website.

First week on 2.3 was fine, now I need a paperclip in one hand and the gpad in the other. Yesterday I almost threw the damn thing out the window.

Anyone know if there's development going on?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Norcath:
To Be or Not to be, a Frisbee...

Hello All, I posted the Specs for my HeroTab back in March (Post #322) & despite it's shortcomings have soldiered on with it until a couple of weeks ago.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed after recharging that:

1) It was Forcing me to close all the running apps including my 'Home' replacement & 2) was showing as charging when it obviously wasn't (It wasn't connected to anything.)

After reviewing the posts here I decided to re-flash the systems OS. This is where things start to really go south.

I tried using the MFGTool, carefully following the instructions & even pulling out the old XP Computer for compatibility. No luck, MFG only recognizes the Tablet on the USB Port intermittently & is unable to complete the swap. I assume in my ignorance this is because the Tablet thinks it's charging. I hit the factory reset & plan on moving to plan 'B'. Unfortunately, not so fast.

All of the characters have switched to Chinese & after I reverted to English, I see the following:

Kernel Version: 2.6.31-00011-ge4e866b-dirty

Build Number: HT_PAD1051-eng 2.2 FRF85B eng.tianfeng.20110221.183344

Hmmm, this doesn't look good.

Time for plan 'B', I format the external SD card, again transferring carefully the appropriate files & booting to recovery mode (volume down+power)......not. It will not enter recovery mode. I also find that it no longer has Wi-Fi capability.

For those thinking I must have simply flashed the wrong thing. I don't think I'm actually flashing anything with MFG. Reason being; I have since tried (6) different versions of the HT 1051 2.2 Firmware & (2) 2.3 versions, with no change whatsoever.

Finally to add insult to injury, the thing is still showing charging when it is not. My wife is seriously considering buying me an Ipad just to lower my blood pressure.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I was all for Android, but to be frank in reviewing this & other forums, this OS doesn't seem like something which is right for the average 'joe' like me. I see how much work, (It is appreciated) some of you put in just to get incremental improvements. This equipment cost hundreds of dollars. (Yes, I know it's cheaper than an Ipad) Yet, even those who purchased from the most reputable sources seem to have major headaches.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Guerric:
Hi,

What error does MFG give you?

Just in case you don't know: power+vol_down does not display anything. Plug the pad to the computer, press vol_down/power and you should hear the usb_plugging sound on the PC. Then proceed with the upgrading procedure (MFG).

To avoid MFG, you may try the old upgrading procedure, with singularity for instance.

Grab the files here. The topic is here. instructions are included in the .zip file. you do not need MFG to install it.

Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] epasrule:
Upgrade with MFG tool

Hi,

I tried the update a few times, but it does not work, I can recover back to 2.2 however. Can someone tell me the link for the upgrade using Mfgtool?

The probleem that I have is that after the update the system hangs on the first arrowlike logo.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GernBlanston:
Back when I bought this tablet, it was the only game in town with an IPS 4:3 screen of this size, with first-gen Ipad level hardware, for the price they were offering. Six months ago, it was a great deal, imho...

Now, not so much. The market has come down, and seeing the level of hardware and support available from well-known manufacturers, I'm just not seeing the great deals in chinapads until maybe when you get down to the 7" level, and even then, you've got things like refurbed nook colors to contend with...maybe you're not getting all the features some of these chinapads have, but you're getting a much more active mod community and known compatibility with the app market and popular apps. If you scout for the good deals, you can get Tegra II hardware ~$250-$300 depending on the screen quality you want. If you want to mod something, then $250 will get you an HP Touchpad at some ebay and Amazon resellers...as a modded android tablet, that's an all around winner, imho, over just about all the herotabs and whatnot on offer right now. Even as a tablet that wasn't built for Android and must be modded with Cyanogen, it has community support and app compatibility that urinates all over most of the Chinapads....If you got in on some of the better deals ($99), then I would think you'd be in hog heaven with that particular tab.

Hi there !

I saw yesterday a chinese tablet with Gingerbread (2.3.1) and a beautiful launcher seems like honeycomb one ! This launcher is named "Launcher3.0.apk" in /system/app/.

I tried to copy and install in my gPad but when I want to launch it, the tablet gives me this message : "this device has no permissions run this application".

I really want to make it works in my gPad. I have the Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM ... Anyone have an idea ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Metalazzo:
Maybe modifying the build.prop ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wolfen13fr:
Good idea, I'm going to call my friend and he will give to me the good build.prop ... Give you some news ASAP ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vprnl:
Hi Guys,

First of all I wanna thank everyone for there hard work!

I finally got it working and It's amazing! It's much faster and more stable than before!

I have a solution to a problem some of you might have had, and a question myself.

The solution to the following problem: "My tablet freezes and I see strange green or blue lines randomly on my screen." I found is setting the brightness of the device to 100% all the time. Also disable dimming the screen with an marketapp like "Keep screen" or "never sleep" to prevent this error. I don't know if this is a common problem but there you go nonetheless.

My question is the following; I can't put my device into sleep mode (push the on/off button on the top). It doesn't wake up again and I have to reset the device. It sometimes works but usually when I have the powercable connected.

Is there some way to fix this?

Thanks again guys. Hopefully Freescale will update there drivers so we can get our beloved tablet to ICS.

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wolfen13fr:
I have sometimes this issue but I can not say if there is a common reason. Sometimes, my tablet does not awake if I have Wifi On before sleep.

For my Launcher3.0.apk permission problem, my friend find a way to put ICS on the tablet ! Lucky boy ! So, I can not have the build.prop file, I'm going to really work on the ICS with the gPad ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knolle24:
where can I download "pengfaxin.20110112.test imx51_bbg-eng-kys"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vprnl:
Thanks for your reply. Maybe someone knows why this problem occurs.

It seems very random.

But an even better solution would be to have ICS running!

That would be amazing! :D

Edit

=====

Also, Aside from the sleepmode problem I have a problem that my wifi works with one connection, but after I added another wifi It stopped working. I used fastguys solution but without any luck. The strange thing is that the WIFI does connect propperly and says it's connected.

But none of the apps or the browser can access the internet. Not even 127.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8

Edit

====

i edited the WPA_suplicant in a different folder (the one used by the wifidongle) And removed the dhpc fix and it worked!

So the device works great now aside from the sleep problem.

Keep us posted!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] extremy:

Help?

Good morning all... I'm in need of a little help as I seem to be in a pickle.

I'm in possession of what seems to be a Herotab M10.

Its running build number "Slatedroid Singularity M10v2 FINAL v5"... but I believe this has been flashed onto the device after it was purchased.

The kernel is "2.6.31-00011-ge4e866b-dirty" and there is no logo on the back, and no USB port.

Android system info app shows:

Device: SCH-I500

Brand: freescale

Host: tianfeng-honmax

ID: FRF85B

Fingerprint: verizon/SCH-I500/SCH-I500/SCH-I500:2.2.1/FROYO/EB01:user/release-keys

Looking at the first post on this thread I'm led to believe it is this device (though I'm not 100% certiain??):

Stereo/Alu/No Logo - HT_PAD1051 Kernel: 2.6.31-00011-ge4e866b-dirty @ HT_PAD1051_V1.4-eng 2.2 FRF85B eng.tianfeng.20110225.185109 (02/25/11)

The problem is that the Wifi will just not work

When wifi is enabled, it starts "scanning" for networks and then gives an error "unable to scan for networks". After which it disables wifi again by itself.

Thing is, when connected to both a Win7 and a Win XP machine, the device is not recognized. It just appears as an unknown device so the MFG tool doesn't seem to pick it up.

Booting up in "recovery mode" gives errors:

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

...but it does get to the menu. Doing a factory reset does seem to work, but still returns it to the same state (no wifi) - less any data/changes that were made to the tablet.

Could anyone offer any advice on how I could get it sorted / return to stock image with wifi working?

Would it be possible to use the "update from SD card" option perhaps? If so, what would I need to put on the SD?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oddhap:

Try burning this to a cd and booting from it. Afterwards you can run adb logcat and see what errors you get.

To bad to hear that. I would have loved to see the tab running 2.3.4.

Does anyone know why my pad freezes randomly from time to time.

Doens't matter what app I'm using or how long I've been using the tab.

I just randomly freezes up and I see some graphical glitches.

Recently the screen even turns grey. I'm afraid It's gonna brick on me soon. So I really hope someone knows why this is happening and maybe even how to fix it.

No wifi in tablet

hello matthewsammut

I apologize in advance for my english (google translation)

I'm in the same situation as you. No wifi or USB boot mode because our board is a PCB version V3.1, and the wifi module is external to the motherboard.

I opened the tablet and I took out the micro sd to flash in gingerbread. everything is ok except wifi. even putting:

In / data / misc / wifi / wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface = DIR = / data / misc / wifi / wpa_supplicant GROUP = wifi

update_config = 1

chown dhcp.dhcp / data / misc / dhcp / dhcpcd.conf

chmod 0660 / data / misc / dhcp / dhcpcd.conf

reboot

I am in contact with pandawii, but for now, no result possible.:mad:

Hi oddhap

Possible that the 7660 is on the mainboard is soldered flipped.

Hi Matthew,

If you have access to "upgrade from sd card", simply put the update folder from this file on an external sd card, reboot and try the upgrade. Don't forget to clean data / wipe cache and everything.

I think this file will only work with 8GB internal sdcard, so make sure that's what you have. If you have a different SD size, there's a small modification to be done, you'll find the details on slatedroid's forum.

Aside from that, all I can tell you is that several people (including me) explained in their own words how to proceed with the upgrade, so if you browse this thread and slatedroid's threads, you should find many useful tips/how-tos.

Good luck!

Hi All,

I found a fix for the freezing of our tablet!

My tablet kept freezing randomly without a clear motive.

The fix is to buy the Chainfire 3d pro version and install it with the experimental EGL driver. It helped me get rid of the problem.

I only have to fix the power management issue. I can't put the tab to sleep. It can't get out of the sleepmode. I think I can fix it tweaking /sys/power but I'm not sure yet. Maybe someone can shed some light :)

Using SetCPU I can get it to around 800 mhz. So no, not really. Although setting the default mhz higher does improve the speed a bit. But also drains the battery more. To use setCPU you have to be rooted. Use the app z4root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953) if you don't want to change the firmware.

Boot takes 5min with gingerbread

Hi!

I am running the rooted 2.3 fw since it hit the scene a few month ago.

Since i connected my 3G stick a while ago, my tablet needs about 5 minutes to boot up.

It does not matter if i start it with the stick connected or not - Herotab M10v2 hangs in the "ANDROID" bootscreen.

I do not have any clue why and how to fix it.

Does someone have similar issues?

BTW: The internal time is correct! Guess its either from the 3G stick or any crazy app.

Does anyone still work on the camera fix for Gingerbread or on a ICS for our tablet? Found the Linaro project where they obviously have sources for iMX53, maybe there is something for the iMX51 too.

2.3.3 or 2.3.4 with corrected deep sleep issue

Hi all,

I have tested HT_PAD1051_v2.4U1GuCoTu_Release.tar.bz2 on my Gpad Gforce (Logo on back + wifi), and it works, but wifi doesn't work, and gravity sensor is rotated 90º and doesn't rotates the screen. Deep sleep issue looks corrected on this version, but we need to fix the other issues.

Anyone knows if wifi drivers and gravity driver is incompatible with this version or kernel?

Anyone is working on a functional 2.3.3 firmware for our Gpad Gforce (Herotab M10), or anyone knows how to patch the deep sleep issue over HT_PAD1051_V2.3U1GuCoTu-RC Firmware?

Freescale has published IMX5X_R10_32_ANDROID_SOURCECODE, which is maybe android 2.3.4. Anyone knows how to build a room for our tablet, with sensor drivers, wifi and deep sleep issue corrected?

For a "howto" building a working rom for our tablet, we should get in contact with the guys who built the 2.3 rom. They should know, how to implement the drivers supported by freescale into the android SDK.
