Bluetooth 2.0 Cable Module for Lenovo on Ebay

I hope will work

The link I can not place
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darkstar2000:
Post the transaction number and say if it really works. I digged a little bit into the kernel config and other resources on the web and I think the 8 pin connector is really to connect an internal USB bluetooth module to the tablet. The btusb driver is compiled into the kernel and as far as I can say it supports some broadcom chips. What I don't know is if the pinout fits. This is something I would measure first!

I have a Herotab M10 similar to the one mentioned by Palexr.

Single speaker, white plastic back, no logo

Model Number : imx51_bbg

android version : 2.2

Kernel version : 2.6.31-506-g30df573 gb2b14e ye@ye-desktop # 1

Build number: imx51_bbg-eng 2.2 FRB85B eng.pengfaxin.20110112.134311 test-keys

Good device, great screen but I find Flash & video playback choppy.

I tried all the M10 firmware I could download with the following results:

Download from Merimobiles site: Installed ok but when finished, it's in Chinese and the touchscreen doesn't work.

Firmware B from link earlier in this thread: Same as Merimobiles ROM

Firmware A from link earlier in this post: Works fine but I think it's almost identical to the one I had preinstalled. Kernel is back at #1, for example and video still choppy

I have one other ROM from this post but can’t be certain if it's the "clean" one or the “9.7.rar” as I unzipped it and deleted the original file. I installed it and it works, including screen, but looks unfinished. No file explorer for example, old style launcher not ipad style. Screen sizing wrong on many apps (may just be compatibility mode).

The firmware with touchscreen working for my device seems to be the opposite of most other comments on M10s. I would like to try the clean install and the 9.7.rar just to be 100% certain but they have been removed or the links do not work.

Could someone repost the links?

Thanks

I have the GPad Gforce with nandflash, aluminum, and the single speaker (not 8GB). I'm familiar with rooting and hacking on my HTC Evo, but this tablet seems to be more fickle in what it likes and does not like.

I've built a 2.6.31 kernel that added the NTFS kernel module and NTFS write support. I've installed the module on a stock GPad Geforce and confirmed that NTFS read works.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steafler:
I received my gpad gforce today. I tried the 3g dongle I have which is a Huawei E156G and the tablet didn't recognised the device.

My question is do you think that it will be easy to rite a driver for this device to work on gforce? or most importantly as asked before is it possible to implement a device internally to the tablet by a bluetooth port or any non-used port?

@timorel

thank you for your reply. unfortunately I was not able to find the model in the image but for sale but found an edimax one. the problem is they are quite expensive ( like 1/4 of the price of tablet).

I never created a driver for an android device but I may be able to create a driver for huawei devices if I can get one of the existing drivers to mess with. So if any of you guys can point me to some kind of a usefull informatino I am willing to work on the drivers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nobeagle:
cifs ?

While you're working on this, I don't suppose you want to throw in either cifs or nfs support? I'd be very appreciative.

I just got my gforce on Tuesday, and despite not having much time to play with it am really liking it so far.

One thing that I'll warn people of is to not choose to format the SD card - in theory it should have just reformated the partition that was mounting as extsd , but instead it froze, and the system wouldn't boot up past the "Adroid_" screen. Reflashing wth the firmware provided by pandawill fixed things up again.

3G modem

Hi again guys,

As I mentioned before I am trying to find a way to make my 3g modem work on my gpad. I have a huawei E156G modem. For now there is a very good external wifi modem device with battery you can use to connect to 3G (mentioned by timorel, thanks to him). Instead I am quite interested in making the devices work with android so that we use all of its capabilities. Here is what I have found out as of now:

I know that some modems work on gpad gforce as they have drivers on gpad gforce so that they bypass the cdrom mode and get into modem mode as a result the 3g dialer software recognises them.

So my first problem was the cdrom mode as the green light (stating cdrom mode) was flashing instead of blue light (modem mode) on the 3g device. As there is no usb-modeswitch like in linux for android I searched and found a way to disable the cdrom mode on modem(will post how its done if anyone interested).

Now CDrom mode is disabled and 3G device directly enters modem mode.But the problem is the 3G Dialer software still does not recognises it.

So I appreciate your help with:

configuring the 3g dialer software to recognise the device. How can this be done?

or is it necessary specify the properties of the device to android as required to be done on linux?

Please help me with this guys.

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timorel:
I think only a new firmware will help to solve it.

There is still a variant - to buy their modem under which the firmware was written.

I asked them a question.

Hey Guys, I dropped my tablet on the floor yesterday, and now it's not booting anymore. I tried re-flashing it but it get stuck on the android screen. There is now way i can even get to the nand flash the computer does not recognize it.

I opened it up and did not see anything unusual. Every parts are fine, the screen is intact. If someone wants it for parts ( battery, screen etc... ) it will ship for cheap. And i've got an extra charger that I just ordered from Merimobile too.

For NTFS support, I still only have read-only mounting working. I've been talking a little with farazite over at slate droid who got NTFS support on a X5A, but I haven't been able to get his ntfs-3g driver working either.

Does mfgtool recognize the herotab as a Freescale BlockIO device? If it does I think you may be able to access the NAND flash by replacing the "179 #" portion of the mknod commands. The 179 needs to be replaced with the address of the NAND memory and the # needs to be replaced with the partition number. I remember seeing a table that listed what the addresses were for various pieces of hardware on a imx515 board, but I don't remember where that was :(

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage done by this information, as it will probably cause the world to end or brick your tablet. :D

EDIT: Boot up and check the contents of /dev/block/vold, that may be able to give you the address you need

Have you tried turning it on and connecting through adb? I tried a stock kernel/bootload/system build of 2.2 on my GeForce and I also got no screen, no lights no nothing. But as if I kept the stock bootloader, I still had no screen and no lights, but it seemed like the tablet booted up and I was able to connect through adb.

Also try this ucl.xml with a fat32 sd card inserted. It shouldn't overwrite anything, but i wouldn't use a sd card with anything important on it just in case :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MasterXBKC:

what are you trying to get this file to do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bqq100:
Hopefully run without error and dump a fdisk -l of the fat32 partition of the internal NAND memory to the SD card. It's just to verify whether or not 31 is the right major number for the mknod command. If it works, then coming up with a fully blown ucl.xml file to restore a backup should be easy. If it doesn't work, back to square 1 to figure out what major number to use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Species 5618:
I have a version of this tablet which is slightly different from those mentioned in this thread. The main difference is that the logo on the back (alu cover) is the Android logo. On the bottom end of the back cover there's a mention of "8 GB", the voltage/amperage value of the charger and a serial number.

Other identifying characteristics:

- 1 speaker

- charger port next to the speaker

- headphone jack is 2.5mm

From the About Device page of the Settings app:

Model number = HT_PAD1051

Kernel version = 2.6.31-00011-ge4e866b-dirty

Build number = HT_PAD1051_V1.4_update1-eng 2.2 FRF85B eng.tianfeng.20110311.234209

The box was blank and there are no indications of any brand or model name other than the HT_PAD1051 identifier. The device came with a ROM that aimed at the Chinese, with some Chinese apps as well as a pinyin -> chinese character translation extension for the keyboard. The launcher and app-drawer were styled to mimic the iPad UI.

I purchased the device in a small shop in a large building loaded with small electronics stands and shops in Shenzen, China. The price was around 170 euro (1450 yuan).

The second is a dot with concentric waves eminating from the dot - all lit up, as if I am transmiting something - the outer bar seems to turn off once every minute or so.

Plain white shipping box with skew number A30020000v00

Purchased from DinoDirect.com

Must have been mishandled and was poorly packaged, as the screen came separated from the body. Managed to get the screen back on but the seal isn't sitting quite right. Came w/ a Euro 2 pin charger (100V-240V) - not a fun thing to cope with in North America, but neighbour had the correct pin convertor.

Problems:

1 - I connected the tablet Wifi to my router. Wifi states it is connected to the wireless router but no internet connection. Anyone know what the problem could be?

2 - Under battery use - "Cell Standby" is chewing up lots of power fast. How do I turn it off?
