Cabletech Android Dongle URZ0193 [TCC8925] aka Plute iSMRTV - Android Stick & Console Computers General

As an introduction, I ended up with this stick with no markings on inside or outside of casing, didn't even know the vendor. The build that was on the device when I first got it didn't even have the Google Play Store. This lead me to a (somewhat lengthy) look into this model. After a lot of fiddling, trawling and eventually playing, I wanted to bundle up everything I can on this stick as what I do know about it is spread wide and thin.

How to Root (thanks to tatubias)
Download file from here
Unzip cx-01.zip
Connect the dongle to your PC via Micro-USB cable. Ignore USB malfunction warning, PC will detect device once the dongle has finished booting (can take a few minutes, took me a while to figure this one out)
When the installation driver screen appears, select advanced option to select the folder driver from the file that you have unzipped
When driver installation is complete go to the folder Root-Script
Run Root-Script.bat
In Root-Script.bat window
7a - Select option 1 and verify the connection if OK
7b - Select option 2 and check if your device can be rooted (with this script)
7c - If its ok select option 3 when finished the dongle will be rebooted
That's all I have for now. AFAIK there isn't a custom ROM available for this device as yet. Wouldn't mind getting into it myself.

Thanks
Work like a charm
Waiting for a custom ROM
Is it complicated to make a custom rom for this device ? How can I get source to start playing ?

Well here is the drama that was the other night. The firmware they have supplied doesn't flash, at least not onto my device. Tried it from a few different memory sticks and even from internal memory. Tried flashing the update.zip via ADB, no dice. Tried recovering it via ADB. I can get to the bootloader for fastboot, but for the life of me I can't get this firmware to flash.
The problem with the current firmware is that it doesn't allow you to log in with a Google account and therefore the Play Store doesn't work. Killing me. I don't know where to start as far as building firmware for this that I can flash either with the built in function or over ADB and I don't want to risk flashing the CX-01 custom firmware from the Pandawill forum in case I completely brick it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I manage to update mine but it's still 4.0.4
Before launching the upgrade in the about I got
Model Number : TCC8925_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #154 Mon Oct 8 10:53:30 CST 2012
Build number full_tcc8920st_emmc-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76D eng.sunny.20121008.105834 test-keys
After upgrade
Model Number : ANDROID_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #364 Fri Nov 16 20:51:49 CST 2012
Build number Android-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D IMM76D eng.root.20121128.105154
So the new firmware seems to be newer but I can't see any news on this firmware
I also tried to change some stuff in the zip and sign it again but I didn't manage to update
BTW this is the Stick that I have
http://plute.en.alibaba.com/product...OOK_GOOGLE_PLAYSTORE_TWITTER_ANGRY_BIRDS.html

Hi,
I also have such a stick from Cabletech. Thanks a lot for the update link, I'll try it. What kind of power supply are you using?

I installed the new firmware, it looks that it is very good, the experience is very smooth. There is however a drawback, the Play Store is not working, it seems that everything connected to a google account is not working (Play Store, login to youtube). I suspect that the necessary applications are not installed since I don't have the option to add a google account.
I'll try to install the Google Apps from CM9.

Did you get the Google Play working? Did you try to restore factory settings?
Is the device working realy smoothly? It works not so well on stock
---------------------------
Edit
I upgraded device using the file. Just after update google services did notwork propertly, it was not possible e.g. to add gogle account or installing aplications from Google Play. I have restored factory settings and it started to work propertly. Device with new firmware works a little bit better...

Possibly you might use this firmware (check if your hardware is the same):

Hello,
thanks for the great information provided. i was able to do this, that you provided us with and much more but i ran into some issues (issues triggered by myself) and now i have to fix the android image. therefore i have a few questions:
do you have an image (done with dd [linux] or [win32diskimager]) of the internal sd card?
do you have any idea how to boot the device in recovery
do you know a method of installing self-made update.zip's?
the dongle is very much the same with cx-01 but the only thing missing is the button which would allow us to boot the device into recovery mode and flash *.rom files.

Unfortunately I don't have anything. I ended up trying to flash a ROM I found online, bricked the stick. I can still access via ADB, but need an image to flash and I don't have that. Haven't even looked at the stick since then.
If anyone has an image that can be flashed via ADB, please let us know.

That sucks... i have a working stick but no stock image to share. If you need it i can make a full sd card image (with dd) and share it. This would bring your stick to the factory settings + version 04 of the modds that float around for the cx-01. I had no time to look at the schematics and fit the stick with a button so now this is the only solution availabke.

Firmware Update
I have contacted with the vendor and have received following URL for Calbletech URZ0193 firmware update:
www dot lechpol dot eu slash model slash urz0193 slash - sorry fort unconvenience, but I can't put external links directly. So try remove spaces from the URL and replace "slash" and "dot" words with the characters .
represented by them.
Try it, I just received the mail with the update URL few minutes ago and I do not have any experiences with that update file.
Best regards

Can someone give any mirrot to update 1.1 if im opening lechpol page i need login and pass

This guide is for:
SuperPad / Flytouch2 / WWE10 Tablets
Make sure you've got the right device.
- Infotmic 10.2" Flytouch2 SuperPAD

Flashing is a relatively simple process but it requires patience. If you don't have the time to read all of the directions and follow them, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FLASH, and stick with your old firmware.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS ROM HAS CAUSED. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CLONES OF THIS TABLET, DON'T EXPECT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY.
-------------------------------------------
Note: I'm not so good in English and grammar, so bear with me. The images is not so clear co'z im using webcam for fast capture and focusing.
If I made mistakes, corrections are welcome.

- New Default Application updates
- New Icons

:: Known Issues ::

- "Some" WiFi unstable
- "Some" 3G Device not working
- Market is still free, no paid apps.
- Save path not on MicroSD but inside your Tablet (fixed)

This guide is for Windows XP, I'm windows7 user before but I downgrade because I want to use my other old softwares for flashing. If you get the idea you can do this also on windows7.
------------------------------
NOTE:
- For windows7 user Run As Administrator the IUW application.
- 64bit Operating System may not work with IUW application.
------------------------------
NOTE: If your tablet showing version 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) or 0.6.1.2(587) Then you can skip some part of the guide. Scroll down directly to the "Alternative Solution" using MicroSD burning. You still need to download the Android 2.2 Froyo Main Firmware.
------------------------------
:: Preparing the Male to Male USB Cable :: (if you have one skip this)
Ok let's start, what you need is a male to male USB cable, if you don't have one you can make your own male to male cable.
Tools
- 2 USB Cable
- Scissor or Cutter
- Electrical Tape or anything to cover the exposed wire
- Solder Lead (Optional)
- Soldering Iron (Optional)
1. Cut each USB to the nearest tip of the female, to make your USB cable longer.
2. Cut each end of the USB to expose the wires and copper wires.
3. Now you can connect each end of the USB, and twist each wires, you can solder it if you like.
4. Now you can tape each wires, and tape all the wires.
This is the finish product.
:: Preparation for Files and Flashing Procedures ::
*Note: Please PM me if there are missing links.
Download IUW 1.1 Flashing Tool
Download Firmware V2852
Download Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) working camera
Download Main Android 2.2 Froyo ROM with Flash 10.1
Download New Ramdisk image to change the path of save files to SDCard1
Download Extra Tools Apps
Updated ROM: 25.11.2011
Download Firmware Froyo 2.2 v2.5 #4325
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Clean up the tablet files ::
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe data/factory reset
- then reboot.
Remove all microSD so that it will not start burning if you have firmware on your microSD.
Visit this link how to clean the data for your tablet.
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Let's Start ::
1. Make a Folder on your desktop for fast track of your files, I named it Froyo 2.2 and save all your downloaded files here.
2. Download IUW Flashing tool, and save it inside the folder of your desktop.
3. After download, unpack it inside the folder.
NOTE: Your tablet should be full charged, and connect the charger while flashing, just to make sure it will not drain much power on your tablet. Don't forget also to remove all your MicroSD cards from the tablet.
4. Since your done making your USB Cable, your tablet should be off and plug the other end USB to the PC and plug the other end on your tablet USB Port between the headphone jack and SDCard Slot 1.
5. Open the IUW application, select Link USB on the left side. And on the Link information the DV (driver) is greyed, because it's not detecting the tablet with driver.
6. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC..."
7. A New Hardware notification will pop up on your PC Screen.
(you have 2 minutes to setup this or the tablet will boot normally)
Select Advance, Next.
Browse the driver from your desktop inside the folder "otg_driver"
Then it will install the driver.
The flasher will turn to green.
:: FLASHING V2852 ::
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first.
8. 'Choose a wrapped image' press the "..." button Select the IUS file "WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius"
9. Click 'burn' to flash the tablet.
This picture is flashing the tablet.
10. After burning finishes, plug out the USB cable and press Reset, then restart the device.
:: Flashing UBOOT ::
11. Open UIW application, and connect your tablet USB to PC.
12. Select "Link USB" on "USB Mode:" select "Expert Mode" Uncheck all except "UO".
13. Browse the "u-boot-nand.bin" the one with working camera.
14. After flashing this is the result.
15. Your screen with start to flicker, it will start to initialize.
16. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration.
:: Flashing IMAGES ::
17. Power off your tablet, and prepare again the UIW to flash the main android 2.2 firmware.
18. Click Link USB, and select Expert burn.
NOTE: Use the other Ramdisk.img fix you download, not from the flash10.1-android2.2 folder.
19. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC...", if the Dv is green your ready and click the burn button.
20. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration and your Done!
:: Alternative Solution ::
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method. You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
Lets make a bootable MicroSD, to convert the file size to 700~705MB, you need a MicroSD at least 1GB.
Download WinHex with MicroSD Clone Image.
1. Open your WinHex
2. Click Tools->Disk Tools->Clone Disk->
3. On Source Raw Image: click the file button.
locate the "aben.start sector" file, click open.
4. On Destination Medium: click the drive button.
locate the Physical Media of your card reader/MicroSD, ok.
5. Fill in the Start Sector with 0 (zero).
6. Click OK, and WinHex pop up will appear, click OK and it will start cloning the image file to your MicroSD.
7. A notepad will pop up that you are done cloning the image, close and press OK on the pop up message.
8. Close WinHex, and safely remove the card reader/MicroSD.
9. Plug the card reader/MicroSD again, and do a quick format.
10. If you successfully formated the MicroSD to 700~705MB then create an "android" folder, and copy all the main image files on the folder. And your Done! :: If you fail there are some other reason, some card reader is not working properly, try to find another card reader, if your phone has MicroSD Slot and able to communicate and serve as card reader, you can use this also.
- ramdisk (use the other ramdisk you download)
- system
- uImage
- userdata
some optional or skipped file.
- u-boot-nand (android v2.2)
- zSYS (Flytouch Official Image 3245)
This is what's inside the MicroSD on android folder.
12. After copying the files plug the MicroSD at the top most/Slot 1 between the 2 USB port.
13. And Power On your Tablet, and it will start Flashing just like here on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3
You can also use this MicroSD to downgrade back to 3245 firmware.
Thank you.

If you can see it then you are ready to update using MicroSD method.
@smarkies
no there is no version number
first time I connected to pc it said found new hardware but no driver. There I selected the otg driver in the package.
Burntool does connect and goes up from 0 to 100 procent (very quick about 7 secs.) when i burn but when i check im still on my previous build.
After that I tried to update to other firmware using update.zip on winhexed sd card. This did work so now I am on 1623 build.
after that I tried again using burntool but still didnt work out.
In the folder containing the 2852 rom there are also two folders
0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and
0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005
both contain uboot and uboot nand files is there something I have to do with them before I can flash?
Any advice?
Other thing I noticed: in recovery menu there is a line saying:
e:can't open / cache / recovery / command
It didnt stop me from update with update zip but could it be the reason burntool isnt working for me?

dont touch any file inside the folder of 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and 0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005.
Try to burn the UO first, u-boot-nand.bin the one with working camera, if not try this another u-boot-nand.
Then burn the Main Image Android Rom.
Thanks for the quick repy to be sure I wont Brick my Pad
for the uo file I use Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) or uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587)
and for the ROM files I only use files from the 20110416-v1001 folder?
If so I will burn right away

I abused my pad flashing many times, and still it is alive, It will brick if your USB cable is poorly made, or overpowered that will fry the motherboard of your tablet, just like what happen to other people.
the safest way to flash is microSD, but it is tricky with this froyo update that's why I risk on flashing using USB.
V 0.6.1.2(587) this one has working camera. But you can try both uboot to display the version under the InfoTMIC logo. But I use V 0.6.1.2(587) coz I want the camera to work fine.
Yes the files inside the 20110416-v1001 folder except for the u-boot-nand inside.
If the USB flashing doesnt work you can try the alternative, using the microSD.
Thank u very very much worked like a chime.
camera and wifi are working I used uo V 0.6.1.2(587)
will play with it tonight to see what else it can do now

I also try swapper2, they say it can improve the performance. This is my Terminal Emulator.
IUW does not work with 64 bit
Please add in the OP that some on other forum sites have confirmed that IUW does NOT work with any 64 bit operating system.
I will link to reference if I come across it again...
For Development USB debugging options for Z4Root, you may also want to link to my post HERE.
quick tip for windows 7 users, picture 6 will not happen, at least it didn't for me, you need to navigate to devices and printers, find the unknown device, and manually install the otg driver
Works as advertised.
I bricked my tab first, but got it up and running again with your step by step guide. Many thanks!
I followed your instruction for SD card and it worked perfectly. I now have the 3925 version on my Superpad and it seems to be working well. Definite improvement on Angry Birds(which I play way too much) and Home Run Battle 3D. WiFI works fine, don't know about GPS or camera as I don't really use them, but I will check just for curiosity sake Seems to be faster and I have had no random lockups that I had with the v5 I had on previously. I will report back as I use it. Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, that's why I made it with Windows XP, and we are aware that 64bit OS is so choosy in terms of software compatibility.
About the USB Debugging, I already made a guide after the Flashing/Burning guide.

[GUIDE]Yuntab P500 (M5000) Rooting Guide and ROM

NOTE: The rooting method may have the potential to BRICK the phone and will void your warranty, so do it at your own RISK. I am not responsible for any problems caused by this guide..
I recently bought a Yuntab P500 PDA Smartphone 5 inch Screen Android. Here are its main features:
CPU: Qualcomm MSM7227a 1.0GHz / Adreno 200 GPU.
Display: 5.0 inch Mulititouch screen, 800 x 480px.
OS: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Memory: 512MB RAM 8GB ROM.
Camera: Dual Cameras Back: 5MP, Front: 0.3MP.
Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, Bluetooth stereo (A2DP).
I am very pleased with the phone but still wanted to root it. However, I found it is very hard to root the phone because there is lacking of information of it on the Internet.
Its driver files are included on the phone internal rom with a folder called 'android4.0_usb_driver_32bit'. Once you connect the phone with USB Debugging enabled, you will see a new CD drive, double click it and copy the whole folder to your computer.
However, Its driver is not working on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop, so I had to try my XP one and it took a while to install all drivers. Then I followed this instruction to try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry, I got the message to say the phone was rooted but it was not working at all.
Luckily, I found Karbonn A15 is similar to Yuntab P500, so followed ntstatic's instruction to have another try.
I followed the following steps to use Android Root Unlock, DON'T try anything else including A15 driver, it may BRICK your phone!
1. Enable USB Debugging - Under SETTINGS - DEVELOPER OPTIONS
2. Install the drivers for the phone - copy drivers from your phone internal card.
3. download "Android Root Unlock" from sourceforge.net and extract it to a folder on your harddisk
4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"
IMP NOTE : if you pc is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....
if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key
5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted
6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list
Thanks for that guide, now my phone has been rooted successfully.
I hope this will help people like me. Good luck.
I got the ROM from a Chinese guy. I haven't tried them yet, so flash them at your OWN RISK as well.
OTA Zip format: P500W-ota-1.0.623_20120908.zip

Does anybody know where to obtain the ROM of the phone? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for all the work you've put into this project. Unfortunately for me, I am unable to root my Yuntab aka Cobalt SP500. When running the batch file, I received the following: failed, failed, failed after every Press Any Key to Continue message. Now, I am using Windows 7 under the 64-bit architecture. Is this possibly the reason?

Yes, to root Yuntab P500, you will have to use XP 32-bit.
have a p500, has dated rom post published here, such as making backup?
thanks
have yuntab p500 usb otg?
thanks for this, sadly this method doesn't works from me.
searching I found a alternative, I tell about a site that posted a solution that I tested on my p500 and worked:
http://isytec.net/manual-video-root-yuntab-p500/
the bad thing is that the root program that it puts appears to be chinesse.... the right button is "OK" and from program can configure if allows or deny (all in chinesse) but works well

Thanks but this is the same rom as linked in post 1. It is Android 4.0.4 ICS.
Another question: How can I install the Google Playstore on the phone. Playstore app is not installed in stockrom. Thanks.
ROOT & Playstore
Hi,
I have to add that I bought the Yuntab P500 on AliExpress for 70 USD. This is definetly the best low budget smartphone I ever had. The build quality is not like a Samsung's but it's OK. It has a big 5 inch screen :good: with a small viewing angle . It runs not bad with the 1 GHz single-core-CPU and 512 MB RAM . It has 8 GB ROM and the fast WCDMA :good:. The battery seems to be very good :victory:. I think it is not easy to find a device which is similar good for this price.
But unfortunately the Android 4.0.4 ICS system is not rooted and does not have Google Playstore installed .
Solution:
======
1. ROOT:
On the phone storage or in the firmware downloads (see the links in this thread) you find the Windows drivers in the folder "android4.0_usb_driver_32bit". These drivers work excellent on my Windows 7 32bit computer. Connecting the P500 with drivers installed it gives me 3 entries in the device manager (Android phone + Qualcomm COM-port + Qualcomm modem):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For rooting the P500 I tried the above mentioned "ICS Root Unlocker 1.0" and "RomasterSetup_3_2_8". But there was no success. But after that I was successfully rooting with "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
2. GOOGLE PLAYSTORE:
As the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" is already installed on the P500, I only downloaded a "MarketUpdater.apk" and a "Vending.apk" from the web. I put my "RootExplorer.apk" and the "MarketUpdater.apk" + "Vending.apk" to the internal storage. After installing RootExplorer I copied "MarketUpdater.apk" + "Vending.apk" into system/app and gave the same attributes to them just like the other apps have. After that I installed the "Vending.apk" and rebootet the P500. Playstore is working fine now - there was not any app that I could not find.
Have fun with this nice phone !
Summary to the P500: I you can root and install the playstore or if you have somebody to do this for you, this phone is a great deal for 70 USD. Earlier I had a 4-inch-phone with a Spreadtrum SC6820 SOC without WCDMA and a faked Android 4 for 50 USD, which was a bad Android phone. After that I had an 4-inch MTK6572 device without WCDMA and only 256RAM/512ROM and Android 4.2 for 60 USD which was better but to weak with RAM and ROM. And now I have the P500 for 70 USD. Here everything sticks together very fine to be a good smartphone which is worth each cent. So if you want a cheap phone and you see the P500 for this price, don't hesitate to buy.

I recently got my YunTab P500, but the primary camera is not working. When starting any Camera-App I always get the commonly known "Can't connect to Camera"-Error. I think I tried nearly every solution one could imagine:
- do ota-update
- do bin update
- empty camera cache
- install alternate camera applications
- factory reset
- empty cache via factory recovery
- set permissions for the camera-app
- use JB-Camera and change cameras (though this worked: after restarting the camera app, I got the video-phone-camera)
So far nothing worked for me. I think the most simple solution would be, to send in the mobile and get my money back. Sadly the seller doesn't answer my support requests - I think he's gone.
I think asking here is my last chance to find someone to help me. Estimating this is no hardware-bug I think theres only one solution:
The installed kernel doesn't come with the proper instructions for the camera. This would be a proper explanation, if the Bin-Update doesn't come with the kernel image (which I dont know).
You, freegoat, mention not to use anything from a15/W719 roms. Did you try that or is it only a general suggestion? If you tried: What was the result? Because in the a15-Thread they've got boot.img (which as far as I know usually includes the kernel)...
Thank you for your help,
Boredland

Update 11.04.2013: Data Resize partition to 2.74GB Detailed description from here
1. We backup with recovery.
2. Unloaded and 2.74GB decompressed data (Thx to spanish friends! ).
3. SP Open Flashtool and as we have done before installing the recovery in scatter-loading MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt select the file in the folder where we unzipped 2.74GB Data
4. We ensure that only EBR1 and EBR2 are marked.
5. We Give to Download, accept the prompt, connect via USB the phone off the PC. As with the recovery if the process fails, disconnect the cable, remove and put the battery and repeat this step.
6. If all goes well, will back the green circle. Disconnect the phone from the PC.
7. Now we go back to recovery (Turn on the phone by holding the power key + volume +).
8. In the recovery do wipe data / factory reset.
9. Optionally if you want to restore the data and installed applications we advance restore, choose the backup you made ​​in step 1, and finally we give to Restore data.
10. Reboot from recovery. In this first boot after repartitioning we may see a notification saying the phone storage is damaged, then click in it. It will show a dialog box asking if you want to format the SD card, does not refer to the External SD but the phone's internal memory, so we do not fear clicking on Format. After doing the latter, voila, you have the Data partition (where apps are installed) extended to 2.74GB
Update 08.04.2013: 3G improvement
if phone is already root
Install from market the mobileuncle tools.
-> enter engineer mode (MTK).
-in modemtestactivity change "factory" for "telephone".
-in "band mode" GSM mode uncheck the "PCS1900."

I've got a quad core 6589 version, so far cannot find a way to root it..
And it's NetworkLocation.apk is missing, i tried a couple of NetworkLocation.apk from JellyBean gapps zip files, no one seems to work, either not installable, crash on boot or not working.
3G connection seems to be dodgy, H/H+ is shown on the top bar but data is not coming down normally, during 1 minute, only less than 100k data come down and not able to load even 1 page...
Anyone has the same problem?
Cheers,

star b943 (mtk6589 b94m)
could someone translate recovery menu from Chinese Language
Yes the baseband or antennas seems to be crap.
Start download and remove your hands from the device or take it only with two fingers on the upper side, then my downlads finish and downloads show normal values. Speedtest with upload is seems to be fine,...
If someone needs root or cwm write me pm, or give me public upload location I´m not so experienced with this,...
Best regards
Thanks for the advice

The MT6589 is really good stuff, for me its my personal Favorite , but I would prefer smaller devices with 4-4,7" max screensize.
5,5" and higher does not really fit in any shirt pocket. If I ever have to carry a bag for my phone I would prefer a tablet with much better screens and battery life.
So i´m looking forward to Jiayu G4, G5, UMI X1S, or something similar screensize

The MTK chipsets have always been weak on data connection starting from the MTK6573. It's so bad that connection can be lost while my Samsung right beside it has a good connection.
Anybody knows what is wrong with this China made phones?
Star
I managed to root. Thanks for the help guys (sarcasm).......The files that "cmoegele" posted worked except for the usb driver files. I had to use PdAnet for connection. I'll be watching to see what other members find on the camera focus and poor data comms.
Thank You
Data upload is stable, and downlad has good values for a while, but slows down from time to time. So I think the device is not doing completly wrong. There needs to be still some finetuning in Baseband and Rom like man other devices always need.
The performance and quality is really good, even +2 days Batter lifetime is a good value for this powerful device.
I´m waiting for new Roms

Hi fmehrtens, may I know the RAM and ROM capacity of your phone model? I am wondering if 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM model can be rooted using same method, thanks.
Spec says 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM, however AnTuTu shows only 1GB ROM and 1GB RAM. Am I missing anything here?
Hello,
I've ordered this new phone Star One B943 Quad core, and i want to thank u for the rooting method ^^
I'm searching for the ROM stock, does anyone have the idea where i can find it ?
And i found that the Miz Z1 is the same phone, but with Android 4.2.1 installed. Do u think it's possible to upgrade the Star OS version with the Miz Z1 firmware ?

It is a 4G ROM and 1G RAM. Just FYI, the first time I tried to root it did not root, I had to try it a couple of times, and then I also loaded the ZIP file on the ROM memory along with the SD card. It worked that time. Not sure if that's what helped or not. The phone is a really nice phone ecpecially after rooting. I am also having trouble with Amazon App store app, Netflix playing too slow and the camera focus.
Good Luck and Thanks!

I have got a Copy of the origin Rom done with SPFTools. If it is needed. You also can use the Scatterfile from the zip-file.
Do you have a link for the 4.2.1 Miz Z1 firmware ? Perhaps its a fake,...
Otherwise I will flash it to our device except the Preloader, so if it fails I could go back to stock.

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.

How to backup of your stock ROM, install CWM and Root your device.
Requirements
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Intel Android USB Drivers
SDcard (8GB of higher)
Temp recovery script
SuperSU
Steps
Download and unpack IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z
Power off tab.
Hold Vol+ and press Power on the tab 5-10 seconds
You can see logo about 10 sec and after that DROIDBOOT will load
Connect USB cable to PC
Run launch.bat from IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 folder
Type ACCEPT and press Enter
Type 5 and ENTER (cwm.zip)
Type T3 and ENTER (or T4)

Unbrick your Tab!
To unbrick your device all you simply have to do is go back to the CWM and restore your backup that you created earlier. If you don't have one, here is a copy of a working backup ---> Google Drive. Credits to @andrei_kr, say thanks!
How to fix touch!
If you unbricked your tablet and your touch isn't working, there is no need to worry. @andrei_kr has provided a guide on how to fix that touchscreen. Credits to him.
NOTE: If your touch is working then do not try this, it will mess up your touch!!
You probably got this touchscreen issue by flashing a different kernel with incorrect drivers.
Now your configuration is likely to differ from the native. You can view the konifig in command prompt or in the terminal :
Code:
cat /proc/gt9xx_config
(only mtk) or using the gtp_tools apk (it is in the attached file below).
It starts with the byte sequence: 0x41 0x1C 0x02 0xC0 0x03
0x41 - 65 version
0x1C 0x02 - 540 horizontal resolution
0xC0 0x03 - 960 vertical resolution
Touch must somehow work to press the button, if there is support otg, then it's easier, you can connect a mouse.
1. Install the gtp_tools_v2.6_20140126_special.apk
2. Go to the option Firmware update. Click refresh, see IC Version: 913_1020 then touch GT913 firmware and 1020.
3. Go to the option Config Settings, press read, the data were considered. Under Normal Config we have:
65 version
540 horizontal resolution
960 vertical resolution
4. Click browse, select click browse to the native config.
5. Native configuration take from your device, in the same paragraph, press the save (saves the backup config file). Native configuration for Fly IQ446 in the attached file. Press send.
6. If nothing has changed, look at the version you have and native config. Then change the version of the file in the native config in your hex.
Example: 0x41 = 65 home, a stranger 0x49 = 73 => replace the 0x41 to 0x49.

Thanks for report.
First want to say much thanks for this thread, it was getting frustrating trying to find a solution.
I have encountered a slight issue trying to unstuck 2 of these devices.
neither have been rooted and are stock devices.
i cant seem to get cwm to locate the backup that you supplied.
do i need to copy it to the cwm backup folder on my sd card?

NuVision TM101A510L
Will this method work with the NuVison TM101A510L. It seems like a lot of work to do if I'm not sure about this model. Also I have a problem with this model overheating and crashing when I play Pixel Gun 3d and it's pissing me off. I just fired off a curse filled missive to NuVision support. They don't even list this model on their registration page and it seems they have no faith in this model. I will never buy this brand again, in fact I would recommend against it to my customers. I've used Azpen tablets with no problem rooting or playing Pixel Gun 3d. I took a chance and I'm so damned sorry I did.
;angry
Thank you so much for this thread!!! I have been looking for a recovery for a few months now and cant believe I didn't find this until now...
ok so a minor problem... I cant seem to flash the recovery... Not sure if ive placed the recovery file on my sd card properly or not cause i locate a few backup files none of which have any effect. I gave up in frustration untill now. ( Currrently working on a few androids one rooting one imea changing so figured id take a crack at these devices again. THe layer of dust on these things are getting a bit thick.)

I think the models numbers are specific so I can't say for certain that this will work with your tab. Try the fastboot/rooting procedure first and then maybe you can just restore the system partition only not corrupting the boot/kernel.

You are using the fastboot method correct? If the recovery script says finished as in no errors show on the screen then it could be the device itself. What do you see?

ill let you know just as soon as i can get back to working on those devices... im prety sure if memory serves correctly, that I was getting some errors regarding unable to mound sd or ext sd. I could be wrong but thats what comes to mind.
Im up to my neck in jobs on other devices. (rooting galaxy S5, changing imei on another S5, IMEI change on a LG Stylo 2 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 system issues need to diagnose, and several screen and lcd replacments)
STUCK
ok so i have a little time to work on these....
When i run the launch.bat and get to fastboot, it goes through the instalation and everything checks ok till the very end where it says failed cause too many links.
included the screenshot so you can see.
At this point im unsure if i just need to try flashing the supersu zip like it instructs but having tried befor it had no luck.
can I not just flash twrp on this thing then su like with most root methods?
after ive flashed super su, when i go to restor the working backup i see a list of backups... including yours but when i select it i always get :
checking md5 sums...
md5 mismatch!
what now?
(i tried just flashing the boot but even that comes back with same error)
I know on other devices the recovery is an img file any the one you provide is a rar... i extracted to my desktop and was gonna try flashing with abd/fastboot but since its not an img file, im thinking it wont work...
any thoughts?
Im still unsure how to flash the recovery that u supply in the section for fixing bootloop....

The too many links error is common for this device. Touch doesn't work with TWRP on this device so CWM is out only go. You can root and using cwm like any other root method.

WHAT CAN THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE INTEL HEAD UNIT
https://ami.com/board-support-packages/
It looks like we should be able to get some code and kernel for android 6.0..now we just need to find someone to build a roms for us
food for thought can we do something like this for our intel units ...this could open some doors for us
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/12/...k3288-devices/
wasn't necessary thinking Linux ubuntu only...but if you made bootloader look for a system on a sd card android,linux,windows,exc...you could have a dual boot system....this would be awesome it would make it easier to mod system files and experiment with different os and have the ability to pop out the sd card and be back to stock config if you didn't want to boot off sd card make an sd card to redirect boot loader back to internal system...or if bootloader can't find a os on sd make it default back to internal system. ..I think something like this would be one of the best things that could help speed up development and allow roms that were built for different partition sizes and systems become more Universal .
Anyone want to chime in
Can this be done

The head unit JOYING JY-UL135N2 with CPU Intel Atom Sofia come with new firmware structure (neither update.zip nor dupdate.img + dmcu.img like other Joying AMR headunit ). As you can see on this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz8umNL1qrsoLVh5cHVSdmVQOWc
I add some file and script to 5009_20.zip to root firmware but the new firmware can't be pass the verify of upgrade screen.

Fig 1. Structure of JOYING- JY-UL135N2's firmware, these are all of the need files and directories, which we have to copy to root directory of USB Flash
Can you help us root this firmware ? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz8umNL1qrsoLVh5cHVSdmVQOWc
Yes I have seen that that's why I wanted someone to use titanium backup on there unit and do a full backup or nandroid. Also .titanium I believe will generate a update.zip file that could be flashed...once this is done you could just do a standard restore with a titanium or nandroid backup. ....I have reached out to a few people about a multirom boot setup hopefully we can get that to work and boot and flash to sd cards....
Also remember some units are 16gb and others are 32gb so the partition tables will be different. .but that's nothing that can't mod to be fixed...another reason multirom flash to sd card would make life easier
this can be the answer if can this be done with our head unit.... http://www.xda-developers.com/install-use-multirom-xdatv/

:fingers-crossed: can install or update MultiROM, it's recovery and kernels. It can also install Ubuntu Touch system-image based builds into MultiROM as a secondary ROM.
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Android devices. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs, daily prebuilt image files to install Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
.Here's the deal... if we could dual boot another android os for head unit let just say rom from joying or other brand/manufacturer you could test rom see what works and what doesnt , modify rom ,extract apps from rom and if rom was better you could make rom you primary boot ..(i also believe we could add or mod the mcu part back in the rom).:fingers-crossed:... and you would be able to test this all with out erasing you stock configuration or stock rom ....you would be able to test and develop new updates as they come out.. you could test with out erasing or wiping your system.. you could run Ubuntu ,Ubuntu touch or other more pc based os and still have the ability to reboot and be back in radio os android mode....and I think there is a fun factor here with experimenting and adding more function to the head unit
This is what XDA is all about right!!! WHO 'S WITH ME:

there are now at lease two types of intel units out there ones based off mtcd and non mtc ones on a totally new board...the firmware should be similar as for there both built for intel x86....developments that help one should be able to be applied to the other...the biggest thing that i think that would help both platforms would be the ability to dual boot these models so you could run experimental os fw os a sd card and still have the ability to go back to stock configuration simply by removing the sd card with the os on it or just telling the bootloader to boot the stock system img....thist is where i think we need to focus and develop.....
Joying JY-UL135N2 2G RAM 32G (Intel Sofia3g and STM8S207C8T6 MCU)
My unit:
Joying JY-UL135N2 2G RAM 32G (Intel Sofia3g, STM8S207C8T6 MCU, TDA7388)
This is not MTCD based unit. My MCU chip is STM8S207C8T6
I got following MCU Version: 2016-08-29 15:46:12 JY_(NOR)__90_C9_7706_5009_CAN(GX)_Newlap.
Purchased from here: Joying on Aliexpress
Photos of the unit outside
Photos of the unit inside
Original (non-modified) boot.img and recovery.img
Note that I have not verified the content, as I do not have sufficient knowledge. I was guided by gurus to extract these partitions from the unit just in case someone really needs them. I have not tested files personally.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2DmzEjJljx3bFVudFpxNzNUS3c
Root instructions (credit to Spider84 for providing instructions and modifying boot.img):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2DmzEjJljx3OXlQM2RFbWp4UWc
Method 1 (didn't work for me, as I could not figure out how to enter revovery):
1) Copy to USB thumb Drive
2) install from recovery
Method 2 (didn't work for me either):
1) Copy to USB thumb Drive
2) Go to Settings -> about device -> system updates
3) System should ask if you want to install update
Method 3 (worked for me):
1) you need to know how to connect and use adb. I connected using head IP address from laptop connected to the same wifi router. I did not use any additional apps or software (other than adb from android sdk). Hint: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html
2) extract su.img, SuperSu.apk and boot.img form the update.zip, place it on USB drive
3) use following commands:
cd /mnt/usb_storage3 (change path according to your USB drive)
cp su.img /data/su.img
cp SuperSu.apk /data/SuperSu.apk
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
4) reboot
THIS IS A GREAT START THANK YOU
a system ROM zip for seller would be useful ...
.also please use apk extractor (updated instructions and link in first post)and back up all apps and system apps and upload that would be helpful.....
we need a full backup copy of total system try to make with nandroid backup or titanium backup you would need root to do this ..
I just got what you've been waiting for, the Joying upgrade file dated 10-31. I have the JY-UL135N2, just like StingerRUS above. I e-mailed Joying about the update shown in Boy ka's youtube, and they sent it to me here: https://mega.nz/#!iUECzLDB!oxXcP9Xa_jOeH3NTWoqwlPNzfYbeOHcJ_hP1NhvHCQs
I kept trying to ask them to show me how to root, as stated on their website root is supported, but they kept saying it's not recommended and would "make chaos for the unit". I tried Kingoroot, but that failed. Hope this file helps.

The rear of your unit looks pretty interesting with those 2 antennas plus the wifi antenna to the right..(that's disconnected) Unless that's GPS ?
Do you have a link for it ?
The disconnected one is the gps antenna.... The other ones:
1) wifi
2) guy from HotAudio claims to be 3G antenna

Why do you want me multi OS on these units?
You will lose all the interaction with MCU, as it is programmed to interact to Android part.

WHAT CAN THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE INTEL HEAD UNIT
https://ami.com/board-support-packages/
It looks like we should be able to get some code and kernel for android 6.0..now we just need to find someone to build a roms for us
food for thought can we do something like this for our intel units ...this could open some doors for us
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/12/...k3288-devices/
wasn't necessary thinking Linux ubuntu only...but if you made bootloader look for a system on a sd card android,linux,windows,exc...you could have a dual boot system....this would be awesome it would make it easier to mod system files and experiment with different os and have the ability to pop out the sd card and be back to stock config if you didn't want to boot off sd card make an sd card to redirect boot loader back to internal system...or if bootloader can't find a os on sd make it default back to internal system. ..I think something like this would be one of the best things that could help speed up development and allow roms that were built for different partition sizes and systems become more Universal .
Anyone want to chime in
Can this be done

Understood. I have the Intel based JY-UL135N2 already.
Just wondering what was updated. Was hoping for some Bluetooth bug fixed for OBD2 devices.
