Message "Demo Purpose Only" ... Please Help ! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi all you guys !...
I just got this 7" Android Tablet from eBay with the following info:
Model name: MID (M 70003)
the following is from the settings section "About Device":
Firmware Version: 1.6
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty ... (??!)
Build number: 1.7.2
The device seems to work ok but the thing is that it displays on the top left screen's corner in red color the phrase "Demo Purpose Only" ... (which drives me mad since it's in all screens ! ... everywhere, always on, no matter what screen I look at !) and I really need to get rid of it).
Does anyone know how can I do that ? ... i.e. could I flash again Android's previous version 1.5 (instead of the 1.7 it now has in) as it looks like something is going on with its "licenses validation", will this solve the problem or is there another much easier way ? Could I also upgrade to the latest Android versions beyond 2.0 ?
Many thanks in advance you guys !

[Q] Wild Puzzle ROM

Hi All,
I installed "0001_WildPuzzleROM_v0.8.zip" in my HTC.
i have following doubt on the same.
My doubt is when i go to software information it says : Android verson 2.2.1" instead of "Wild puzzle ROM v0.8"
I followed the same steps given here and it's booting with transparent lock screen and battery icon changed to round type and also ROM manager is there under all apps and also super user icon also there.
Can some one please tell me why in software information it's not showing as wildpuzzle rom please.
.
How can i cross verify wildpuzzle rom is installed and working ok...
Thanks in advance...
It's some field below "Android Version" which will show you the WildPuzzle name(Don't really remember the exact name of that field, I think it is "Software Number").
Another easy way to verify - Load up any Live Wallpaper within the Sense Launcher. If it does load, it is WildPuzzle.
I am getting the following information:
Android Version:
2.2.1
Base band Version
13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31
Kernel Version
2.6.32.21-g8f75634
[email protected] 18-2 #1]
Tue Dec 21 00:48:06 CST 2010
Build Number
2.34.75.1 CL306462 release-keys
Software number
2.34.75.1
Browser Version
Webkit 3.1
But when i tried loading LIVE wallpaper - "Liquid Particles Live Wall"... It's loading fine without any issue.
Then I guess danne forgot to implement this in v0.8. Shouldn't matter though, because you do seem to have the ROM installed properly in any case.

iView 756TPC and Unofficial CM9 mod for A10s

Yeah yeah, noob question! Prepare to verbally pants me.
Just bought a iView 756TPC tablet from the egg. Works pretty well some issues and chinese bloatware. Anyhow, want to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760929
Only problem is I don't know whether to try the MOMO9 compatibility patch or the LY-F1 patch. Only differences I can find are I have 1GB DDR3 not 512MB DDR2. Both are almost identical hardware. I am leaning towards the LY-F1 b/c my buildprop shows Broncho which is listed as a clone of the LY-F1. I have googled a ton but it seems this thing is pretty new. You'll prolly find a few of my threads when you search and not much else! There is some info on the 760TPC which is from the same manufacturer. So basically I am confused as possible. I pasted some specs I exported from the systeminfo app. Hope that's enough to go on. Go ahead and rip me a new one.

Why yes, yes you can!
Got ClockworkMod Recovery working. Only issue is my buttons don't work. I have to use adb to initialize the recovery as well. Cannot hit the "back" key while in recovery mode but as long as you do everything right that's ok! I just flashed the LY-F1 version and it is SWEET so much faster than the stock ICS rom that came with the 756 from iView. However, my back, menu and home buttons don't work. They are not hard buttons but rather on the touchscreen part, probably related to why I can't use them to boot into CWM recovery too. The screen flickers a bit as well, but looks like with some tweaking I can get this baby running CyanogenMod9 :victory: Any other iView 756TPC users need some help getting going, it was not easy... let me know!
I'll just keep talking to myself!
OK, well neither of the compatibility patches will work with this tab so I guess I'm on my own. Oh well, I think I have the key mapping figured out and know i can easily change the lcd density so I can fix those no problem. It's including all the modules in the system/vendor/modules/ folder I am concerned about. There are a ton of those and I guess I am just not sure how they work and if I will have to customize the install script to include them in the existing patch. A lil' help would be splendid. I modified the existing Momo9 patch to include the updated key mapping and modified the script that changes the default cm9 lcd density, but I cannot get clockwork to execute my zip. Do i have to zip it up a certain way? I also added the vendor modules in the appropriate location inside the new zip, but I was not sure if I needed to add some scripting to copy them since there is no vendor folder in the existing patch i am modifying?? again if anyone is reading this I would really appreciate some kind of response!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

Yeah, I had bought 2 of them.One of them suddenly had a pixel die, then the screen became unresponsive so I RMA'd them and bought a Samsung Galaxy 2. I could not figure out how to get the extra buttons on the touchscreen to work. I successfully remapped the volume buttons to serve as menu and back until I figured out the touch buttons. It must have something to do with a module for the touchscreen itself. I was going to try and insmod some modules (there are a zillion of them in the vendor module folder in the stock rom) and see what happened, then the pixel died and I said forget it. One thing I wanted to try was using a gingerbread rom for the 760TPC and see if it improved performance, but obviously never got around to it. The stock ICS Rom from iview was sluggish, especially compared to CM9 which the tablet ran admirably I must say. Anyways good luck!
One more note, to answer my own question just in case anyone else had it....
For some reason CWM did not like my winRAR zip files. Zipping them with 7zip default zip settings seemed to remedy the situation. I was able unzip the patch modify files using Notepad ++ and re zip with 7zip. CWM then would execute my patch just fine.
@RedForestStudios. Thanked you for each of your posts. You have given me some hope that I will be able to get CM9 on this little tablet. I didn't need it. I only bought it because I couldn't say no to the price. Any chance of detailing how you got CWM and CM9 on this? Did you use the method for the 760TPC?
I see you said you didn't get the buttons working. I'm assuming that was in CM9, correct? If I can get CWM on it I would be happy using ADB or QuickBoot to initiate it.
Does anyone happen to have a backup of the stock rom? i have searched the corners of the internet trying to find it as mine died on my second day of owning it but could be fixed with a flash of the stock rom. If anyone could help i would be very thankful

Iview has posted this full update on their site. Although I have yet to make it work. If you can get it to work let me know.
Their website is www<dot>iviewus<dot>com. Go to the dowloads page. Replace my <dot> with .
Spoke too soon
It looks like IviewUS has pulled the image. That may have explained the problem I was having after getting LiveSuit 1.09 to work.
From Iview
Iview says they are rebuilding their image file and the rewriting the instructions to the CyPad 756TPC. It should be posted in a few days.

Good to see some activity here in this thread. In case anybody wants/needs it RedForestStudios kindly gave me what he had before he returned his tablet. Sadly, I am too busy/lazy to learn what to do with it. If anybody wants it let me know. Meanwhile I'll reach out to him and make sure its ok.
What his zip included:
• cm9 – CyanogemMod 9 from XDA for AllWinner A10s
• CWM Recovery 5 ICS – CWM for AllWinner A10s (I think there might be some stray .ko and .kl files in their you can just delete)
• iview ICS – The stock rom from iView
• momo9_compatibility_1.2.0 – Don’t know if this is my modded version or not, cannot recall, you can easily find out by comparing to the original
I contacted the OP a while back and he provided me with some stuff he had and accomplished. Perhaps somebody who has one of these could use this to aid in dev? I am to busy/lazy to learn how to do this at this time.
I contacted him again today and he has agreed to allow me to pass it on should someone want it.
Included in zip:
• cm9 – CyanogemMod 9 from XDA for AllWinner A10s
• CWM Recovery 5 ICS – CWM for AllWinner A10s (I think there might be some stray .ko and .kl files in their you can just delete)
• iview ICS – The stock rom from iView
• momo9_compatibility_1.2.0 – Don’t know if this is my modded version or not, cannot recall, you can easily find out by comparing to the original
Also some notes from RedForestStudios:
Couple of notes, first make sure to use a text editor like notepad++ to edit the files unix/linux do not like the extra linebreaks or spaces windows typically inserts. If you happen to be using a program like dreamweaver to edit these make sure to turn on the unix compatibility mode in preferences, default is windows I believe. I think I was about to start insmod’ing modules via adb since I could not get the softkeys to work via mapping the the sun4i files. The key must be in one of the many vendor modules included in the stock iView rom.
Do you know if that stock image from Iview is the one they pulled?
Okay, Iview has posted the new image. I am still getting the same error. I am guessing these things are going to have to go back to the seller.
756TPC Firmware
I downloaded the firmware image and LiveSuite with instructions but was unable to get it to work. LiveSuite would come up with a box with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. The instructions include a step to press the "back" button which doesn't exist on the 756. I had flashed a 760 to ICS a while back so I tried that version of LiveSuite. It included button captions in English. It also came up with the yellow triangle but the caption said "Invalid image file". I sent this info to one of the IView techs and am waiting for a reply. If anyone has any updated info I'd be grateful to hear it. Thanks to all for all the info.
That is what I am getting. Iview had posted they were updating the intructions. I have yet to see them.
---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------
I think I am giving up. I had sent in an RMA to 'nova unhatched chickens' when the thing originally died. They peeled off part of the serial number on the back of the tablet and broke the charger dongle. Then they shipped the broken thing back saying they could not verify the serial number on the tablet even though the serial number was also on the back of the glossy Iview box. After that, I contacted the credit card company to cancel the transaction.
Hey, I have this tablet also and it runs so horribly slow. I was looking for a way to get cm10 on it but after reading this thread it seems like that won't happen, let alone cm9. Most of these chinese tablets are clones. Does anyone know what 756 is a clone of?
I found that this tablet may be similar but I can't find any files for it on the web.

Edit:
Actually I discovered that it is a clone of a tablet called LY-F1.
Don't have time to look it up now but apparently there are several roms for it.
I actually got cm10 running on my 756tpc! But then I bricked it trying to fix the auto rotation lol. Everything worked except auto rotation and the touch buttons. I'll post how I got it running if someone asks.
im making this post for those that have 756tpc issues, and cant yet find much support. ( like me)
around 34(4 days out of warantee) days ago, i purchased 2 756tpc. they worked great, however one day, while my tablet was just plugged in to charge, i held the power button to power it down. After it came back up, the 1g of internal memory appeared totally full, and it said 0%. Also it said the apps on this space were like 80 megs or so. i must add that at one point i used system tuner to freeze a few apps, prevented a few user installed apps from auto firing, and moved a few apps to sd. as a final circumstance, the tablet appeared reset - nothing was installed, etc.
So, im thinking wow, i guess ill start over, well, no apk would install, because it thought the internal memory was full or non existant. when i went to hard reset, it would show the updating android screen, than go instantly to the laying down android with red exclamation point.
the tablet worked perfectly except for this. thats when i got on the livesuit path - well, at the time, not long ago, there was an image for the 756 on the iview website, which i pulled, along with livesuit. after figuring out that this image was fail(756TPC-20120903.img), i pulled the one they had listed for the 760, and flashed it on the tablet. this was how i discovered my image was bad, i initially just wanted to see if the 760 image would initiate -- it did, and it flashed. --for the record the image i had would just give a yellow exclamation popup with no text when i connected the tablet.
with the 760 image, the ram issue i was having was apparently fixed, and i had more hope. it was slightly different, rotation, nor cap buttons worked, but the tablet worked more than it did with the original issue.
so, after a few days, i called iview and an asian sounding tech answered - i explained the issue, and that i wanted the firmware. he told me that in 2-3 days the new one would be up on the site to download. he chuckled at the fact that i flashed the 760 image, and asked me what happened, and that they hadnt tried it yet. he chuckled.
so - after this, to continue on the "mission" -i saw kingofmyworld324 mentioned the LY-F1. after i saw them looking idential almost, and the same for specs - i didnt have to spend long before trying these images.
---
first i used ICS-Seby_8.04.7z - which flashed and showed an ugly boot screen before failing to load. i tried twice.
next i flashed :
4.0______20120315-a721-LF-y1.rar -its 4.0.3 ICS
works perfectly! -maybe even faster and better than the original firmware. theres a few small things that may differ, but -- niice.
problem solved.
i may or may not try the 756 rom if and when they add it back.
thanks!

[Q] no size detection

When I check the "show pointer location" box in the developer options the value for size is always 0.0
On every other device the getSize method returns a value other than zero. Surfing the net I found old threads with the same problem but no solution. Is it possible to get a size value from the galaxy tab 2? maybe with a custom rom? I realy hope so because otherwise I am in real trouble. ( I need it for a very important project at work)

Mtk6577 Root, build-120920.ics v13 -problems

Hello all,
I have been a reader of work on here for sometime when needing help with a problem, mainly with mine and my wifes Galaxy mini due to it's low built in memory..
Anyway on to this little problem, I have been toying with the idea of rooting my china import hero h2000+ So over the weekend I started collecting information/bits towards it.
Tried the easier route with unlockroot.com free version that couldn't unlock the shells.
Then tried one from Youtube but there's was a new version (phone wise) using MTKdroidtools v237 That one went though okay and had the super user there then when you reboot it, it was gone.
Then tried, sorry can't remember the person/user but was Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17. Press one for normal all goes though fine just nother there at the end again.
Then tried Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 all the same as the v17 but once rebooted and back on there's a little problem..
It seems that all the apk files have been wiped, but on closer inspection they seem like they are there after managing to install the apk for ES File Explorer so I've managed to in still other apk files to keep me going for the moment But it will not reinstall google play. as I can't get it back to 'as before'. I also noticed that the recovery mode no longer works the screen will come up as if it loading it but just turns off.
In an ideal world I would like to either get back to fully working or rooted & working, but read there a bit difficult to.
Other detail are:
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V7,2012/08/20 16:49
Kernal Version: 3.0.13 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Zed Sept 19 05:06:34 EDT 2012
Build number: 120920.ICS.V13.FWVGA.CN.COM.4P4.MT6628
Also just found that it does not Reboot Recovery from about phone.
Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Thanks
Anyone? please.

MediaTek T906 Tablet(Made in China!!)

Good Evening All(or whatever time it may be there),
I'm new to XDA and Rooting, etc. etc. I purchased a MediaTek T906 Tablet(Made in China!!). After I received it and charged it, the first thing noticed it wasn't allowing some apps to download and install. Keep in mind this is suppose to be Android 9 and 512Gig 8Gig ram device.
Below is what MTK Droid Tool v2.5.3 says about it(and yes I Root it, am fully aware that it voids warranty):
Hardware : MT6582 (MT6797 is Fake!)
Model : T906
Build number : T906_vEN52S2_TB_20191205
Build date UTC : 20191205-085910
Android v : 9.0
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V54, 2018/01/02 15:01
Kernel v : 3.4.67 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Dec 5 16:56:01 CST 2019
Too root(successfully)it I used KingoRoot and Got SuperUser Status/Privileges. I did a lot of reading on root and other root apps(to be used in conjunction with). Long story short, I'm trying to get a specific app to download to this tablet and am not sure how to go about it. I did the dump data/cache thing in Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot. Didn't work. Did all the steps before I root the device. I even used Root Essentials Editor to mod the device name and manufacturer, that didn't work. And the time zone is set to right time zone. So, I'm making this post asking for some guidance and/or help on what I can do? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
I am in the same situation as the previous poster with the same Version, Kernel, Baseband, Build and my experience with this should be considered at a beginner's level. In researching this and came across a post that indicated that the tablet is not actually Android 9.0 but suspected to be KitKat. Please, if anyone knows how I could get this setup with Android Oreo, I would be grateful.
Hi guys,
just got the tablet too, it also seems to me it has this config:
- MT6582
- 1GB RAM
- 16GB Storage
- 1280 * 800, 7.19" display
- Android 4.4
Not sure what options there are, but I hope there are some newer Android builds that would work on this?
I'm following
So far....
I have been successful in rooting my device and hope to find a ROM that will move it up to a level that will allow KODI -Leia to be installed. I will let you know what my findings are. I'm just afraid as I don't want to brick the device.
Hi guys . Same problem. But. Works to me. Go in accounts remove account. then try loggin again.
uncheck all boxes. Unynchronize the two options in the account. Agenda and contacts. Deselect the check options. If it doesn't work restart and turn off the wifi. then rewire. Do it again. good luck
A brother in distress
I've got the exact same issue with my T906 Mediatek. I downloaded the Root app (Thanks!) and kept trying to get the things to load and run. I'm specifically having the issue with Alexa app. I can find it but I get that the app isn't compatible. It runs on my Samsung phone that's running A9.0. It keeps saying the app is already installed, yet it isn't . I went into the Play Store and Play Services apps and deleted the updates and caches as suggested on YouTube. No difference. I'm sort of at a "What Now!?" POINT.
Any help would be appreciated.
Be safe out there and for goodness sake, wear your masks until this crap is beat.
The REAL OldGeezer
you can't upgrade generic android devices until version 9. Android 9 seperates the drivers with the treble abstraction layer allowing you keep the drivers and upgrade the rest. The T906 has android 5.11. If you run CM lite scan you will see a huge Opera beta file that is always 3 times your storage. This is how they fake the RAM and ROM sizes. If you take off the back and look at the board you will ussually see printed on the board 1GB ram 16GB rom. They have also faked the CPU by using the ROM for the upspec version with better camera, screen resolution and CPU which uses the same drivers. Thus these are also falsely reported. Sadly Google no longer supports android 5 for things like Google sheets so your apps will soon stop upgrading. I love this machine because the screen size makes it cheap for 50 USD
Help to get ROM image to restore same model
I have the same model but when trying to get root access managed to brick it. I have got SP Flash working and managed to get some T906 firmware on it so I get the Mediatek logo and battery charging symbol on screen however the boot options i.e. Fastboot etc just gives an error message when selecting any of them.
I've got a development background but new to Android and scatter files but is it possible for anyone on this thread with the exact same model to help get back to a working system? I assume there is a way to back it all up using SP Flash ?
hi everyone are in the same problem boot error !!!
how to solve it I have tried in all ways but I find myself as soon as I turn it on boot error !!!! you can not even go into recovery?
Help!!!
These manufacturers need to be found and dealt with cause they are robbing customers. They are giving fake specifications. They need to be sued asap.
I got a Mediatek tablet and try put it in recovery mode and now I got black screen with blue bar with SIM and Chinese Characters. Any way to fix it

Hello guys.
I have a different problem with my T906. It works fine and it is fast and reliable but I had problems downloading apps from the Google Play Store. When I checked it said that the Device is not certified under the Play Protect Certification. I remembered that it came without the Google Play app and I installed from another APK store (apkmirror.com) and it installed without issues. I've tried to download another Google Play app but can't find the correct match for my version and OS (64-bit - Android 8.1).
Any help will be truly appreciated.
I've just created a dump of this tablet with flash tool, maybe you can try to revive yours

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

Btw I'd welcome any kind of rom that would make this device more usable
