I bought the Novo 7 basic for my dad at Christmas. I have been reading up on it to see if it is possible to get full android market and to update it to ICS.
1. Are the above two possible with the basic?
2.Was too afraid to go messing with it as I read that advanced files and basic files are different and il brick it using the advanced files on the basic.
If anyone could help me with with putting ICS on this and getting full Android market I would be very grateful.
Thanks you
The novo 7 basic didnt come with ICS? Weird, they advertise it as the first tablet with android 4.0. It is possible to get the full android market on it. Simply download the latest market apk from the forums here, just search for it or use Google, mount the tablet's SD card, drop the market apk onto SD, and install it using the native package installer.

hey,
i have the basic tablet as well.
do not flash novo 7 advanced files you will for sure brick the device and void warranty.
if you need help with this unit just pm me.
i have ics 4.0 running and i have also rooted and have recompiled apps for this as well. market is working on ics too.

Novo 7 paladin is the one with ICS, not basic version, they just advertised it is ICS compatible, AFAIK basic version comes with honeycomb only. Just talked with Ainol last week, the official ICS package is not released yet.

ICS 4.0 Firmware Update - http://hotfile.com/dl/138308742/54ee214/update_1222_4.0.zip.html - put on sdcard rename to update.zip. boot up tablet holding power and VOL +. release power when you see Ainol novo 7 basic logo while still holding VOL+. or use clockworkmod menu to update from update.zip menu option.
Root method #1 - http://115.com/file/cl3ugmva - just run and click root.
Root method #2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?uk63d4oz49hi85s - put on sdcard rename to update.zip. boot up tablet holding power and VOL +. release power when you see Ainol novo 7 basic logo while still holding VOL+.or use clockworkmod menu to update from update.zip menu option.
ClockWorkMod - http://www.mediafire.com/?b9nbn9ecrgxh5t2 - put on sdcard rename to update.zip. boot up tablet holding power and VOL +. release power when you see Ainol novo 7 basic logo while still holding VOL+.or use clockworkmod menu to update from update.zip menu option.
MassStorageModeDriver - http://www.mediafire.com/?09xujtqi4g3wwd9 - This is needed for windows while the tablet is in Usb Debugging mode. ADB commands will not work without this. to install connect tablet in usb debugging mode. manually update the driver via hardware manager and select android_usb.inf.
recompiled APK's for MIPS ICS - http://www.mediafire.com/?pe5fjt1o75xf771 - Skype, YouTube and TitaniumBackup all recompiled for Mips.
MagicCode - http://www.mediafire.com/?xa5p2skdma6m66b - exactly what it says. this magically on the fly allows you to run APK's written in ARM to work in MIPs. this only works with HC 3.2 NOT ICS.
to use simply install the apk and open the app and click on then install or run any APK as normal.
they released it on the 21st of December.
i have been running ics since the 23rd.
this is not a final version but this is the version they are shipping with now on all shipments.
i been screwing around the loops with this tablet for a while so here are some files you may find handy.
some warnings DO NOT go to the youtube website. if you click on any video it can crash your tablet. instead use the recompiled youtube app above. it works fine.
I just wish more devs start putting more attention intro mips, especially the chainfire3d dev who is here
the support will come4. just be patient.
mips is the cheaper and as shown looks to be very competitive on power usage.
i get 8 hours out of this tab which is awesome and it performance is right on par with the a8 arm cpu's as well.
Hello,
is that update compatible with novo 7 Paladin ? May i use the updates for basic version for paladin or ?
Thanks

How did you recompile the skype lite app? Does calling work with it?
And would it be possible to recompile the latest skype apk, which supports video calling, in the same manner?
Thank you so much infamouskid. I have the basic and the advance, and now I am waiting on my ELF the Basic is a nice tablet but I wish I would have bought the advance instead. better to use android 2.3.4 that is fully functioning than using a disabled 3.2 or a beta 4.0.
You made my Basic useful somewhat. think I will turn it to my new TV streamer
A correction for those that think the Paladin was first with the ICS firmware. The Basic was the first as I was using it well before the Paladin came on the market. Check the Ainovo site (to confirm this) or the Ainol site to see when the firmware was posted to download. The Basic had beta ICS in the beginning of December and released the stable version on 21st December - build is dated 17th December but showing in settings as 15th December. This firmware, which I had been using for more than a week before the Paladin came to the market, is the actual firmware currently installed on the Paladin. The 4.03 firmware is expected in the next couple of weeks. The current firmware for both is 4.01. I have confirmed all this both on site and by watching videos of the 2 devices and comparing the firmware on the Basic (which I had) with that on Paladin. I can assure you it is the same and with a few minor tweaks runs very well.

official ICS 4.0.1 released !

no official change log but here is what I compiled according to some users... all over the net.
The version is 4.0.1 ICS_MR0 eng.mdliu.20111227.1122122
-Bring preinstalled Facebook, Youtube, Kindle, Pandora, Messenger
-Magic Code works (an app to run apk recompiled for arm)
Flash player Doesn't Work and no Market.
here is a link to download from mega upload because the original URL is really slow (at least for me)

also you can download the market apk from here :

yes. no problems here. It works.
Try to install the Clockworkmod and wipe cache. then try to install the market again.
Is the novo 7 basic or paladin worthy of buying?
I would recommend the advance or the upcoming ELF. MIPS based devices don't support many apps. but if you want to chose go for the basic. It has 2 cameras and 5 point multi touch screen while the paladin only has 2 point touch screen and no cameras.
I installed the clockwork mod in the 1st page, wiped cache and dalvik cache x3. I tried installing the market apk and still it didnt work. can you please help. I dont have gmail as well.
16k, I would go for the Basic with ICS or HC (both worked fine for me and both had market, etc, already installed) The Advanced is now out of production and I have a sneaking impression it has been reincarnated as another brand of tablet.
I don't quite understand Ainol's marketing and product planning as the Advanced was released well before the Basic which has been their main vehicle for development. A consumer choosing between tablets would lean towards a tablet with an Advanced version ahead a tablet they called the Basic version. However the Basic is more 'advanced' than the Advance model.
As a follower of their development I would choose the Basic running ICS over the Paladin running the same version of ICS as the Basic has more features, e.g., cameras, hdmi and capacative menu buttons built in. As a final word though I will say the Basic was the first ICS (non Beta) tablet and it was always their intention for it to be so. You will notice on the Ainovo site that it has always shown the Basic as the "the world's first ICS tablet" ( for $99).
Reading some forums I got the impression that they were saying piss off Basic users as we have the Advanced model and you are not worthy to be here. I still have a laugh at those poor, misguided fools and ask 'where is your Advanced tablet now?". I know of at least 1 other branded tablet that sounds too similar not to be called a rebadged old Advanced (and cheap too!!) but you can do your own searching to find it.
16k - only the first bit was for your info, the rest is for anyone who wants to read my ranting but especially certain Advanced users.

I agree with you Waxwrong. but If you want application support right here, right now and you don't want to wait for the developers community to catch up(lets face it it will take some time) then the arm core based tablet will be the better choice. I love my Basic device but I am more happy with the Advanced, because at least there I can have my applications that I purchased and use everyday.
So far, My Basic Tablet was turned in to a Media Streamer with 2tb USB HD and a nice wireless kyboard/mouse set, I couldn't be more happy with a 100$ solution in my living room.
But I agree with you Waxwrong that the MIPS chip seems to be the way for AINOVO (AINOL sounds abit bad in the English language so I guess AINOVO will be the name after CES 2012).

Hi all,
I bought a Point of View (POV) Mobii7 Gen2 some days ago and it appears to work really well, especially for its price (129 euros). Everything works quite smooth and games run quite well. However, there is no update to Android 2.2/2.3 and the credential storage appears to be unavailable (no such menu item?!), which means I can not connect to the WiFi of my university network. Does anybody know:
(a) if there is a similar device so I can use the firmware of that one?
(b) how I can enable or install the credential storage in Android so I can connect to PEAP networks? Think this is a major flaw in the firmware!
Thanks!!
Hi,
Did you found a solution, i have the same question and i am looking for a custom rom for this device.
Regards Rees1267
Nope, not yet...
Ok, maybe later ....?
By the way, i'm using a alternative market, called Applanet and this market wil download very wel and the apps installed fine...
Google it and install it from youre sd card...
When you know a custom rom for this device, please tell me.
Rees
I have the same tablet as you guys i think, i was wondering, is there a way to get the Android Market on these tablets?
I did struggle quite a lot to install the market, but so far no luck. I actually DO have the market installed, but all downloads fail due to missing components. The trick is to install the vending.apk (i'm at work atm so can't post it), but it will not download, I think it is caused by the Google Framework which is missing. What DOES work is the Applanet market. Also copying APK's from a rooted phone does work if you need a certain app which isn't on the AndroidPIT and Applanet market.
One other thing: next week new firmware will be released for this device improving performance and fixing bugs. I hope this firmware does include the google framework, enabling market installation.
Please also post your experience and achievements on installing the market and other improvements/interesting things. Starting to like the device though: watching videos, playing MP3s and e-reading works well. Replacement of the launcher is recommended, I prefer Launcher Pro
mobii gen2 and youtube
I get it before few days, i still not able to have youtube on.
Did someone have made it? And if is from what market is dowloadable?
Thanks
You can install the Youtube app, its working on mine Mobii V2....

new update
I tried new official upgrade last night and all is running fine, i think litlebit faster. And now its inside new android market. I was hoping that will be a new version of android 2.2 but its still 2.1.
Is the Market the official Google Market?
Is the trackball still working? Someone in Holland reported that the trackball didn't work after the firmware upgrade.
Pov just posted a new link for trackball users!
I did the trackball version upgrade. You must download also the other file. The trackball zip doesn't include the upgradetool! There are no extra apps nor Google
The market is still androidpit
I am disapointed with new update. My mobii have not trackball, inside is home, option And back button. after upgrade now they always on with green led in suspend mode. Batery fast running out. Sometimes its not possible to switch on And only reset help. I search way to make downgrade.

how long does the battery last on your mobii?

Guys, I'm happy today!! I managed to get the Android Market working on the Mobii 7. Here is what I did:
- Download the image file from http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=14498.0
- Update your Mobii 7 Gen2 with this image, choose NOT to update the boot image.
- Start the Market, enter your settings.
- Do a test download (even if it fails).
- Follow these instructions: http://www.technipages.com/android-market-download-unsuccessful-error-fix.html
- Install the new market APK from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TON34WSX
- Do not be tempted to test the Market now;
- Reboot your device
- Market is working!

I have working on a project in the form of an app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have I have yet to get much testing on this device and would like more feedback from users!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

This image is just under 500MB to download, once extracted 2.5GB, and include only programs needed (LXDE desktop, web browser, + other basic programs) also allows you to define screen size on boot
ubuntuV5-sm-image.zip
12.04 images
I have now started work on building new 12.04 images these come in core (just the bear-bones ubuntu) and full (ubuntu with GUI and other programs) and will be updated as 12.04 moves through its milestones (and when I make new updates to the mods I make from the main stream arm port).
These are for testing ONLY until 12.04 reaches stable release.
You can view the images here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/12.04/
I also want to build up a small group of testers who I can email with new images and scripts, these will include all future distros that I do. If you are interested in joining this test group please PM me or send a email to [email protected]
The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

This is a guide to running a full ubuntu image within android, the guide includes links to everything you need etc, I have been working on the ubuntu image and guide for some time in the forums of devices I have so now want to expand to all android devices that can support it.
Does the HP touch pad have android/a android port? If so its quite possible this would work
Will test out. Ill report back to let you kno how it goes.

Thank you very much guys! the more devices I can get tested the more I can fix, and give everyone a better Ubuntu in android.
Also will be updating the app in the future to make it even easier to install and run

Indeed there are really only to requirements, root and loop devices support, most custom kernels should include loop device support. If they don't you need to have a word with your devices kernel devs
I forgot to say there is also a donation version of the app for those that want to support me as i trug through Uni. The donation version will give you all updates before the free app and in the future extra features from the free version as i develop it further, this can be bought here
Anyway look forward to hearing all your feedback!
A little update for you all, I am in the process of uploading new images (will take a while on my connection) which include all updates up to today, I have noticed installing all the updates has increased the performance and feel some what which is nice. The desplay image included in the free app will also be changed to 800x480 to fit most phones, in the paid app images with 854x480, 1024x600 and 1280x800 will be included.
But because I do enjoy giving something a little extra back to XDA I will be adding to the first post download links for ALL ubuntu images so you can download them to your computer then put them on the phone/tablet if you wish
Can you upload a YouTube video on how it runs? Pls. If you can that would be cool. Thanks! I wanna try this out but I'm a Ubuntu noob. So bare with me pls, but I do learn quick. Thanks again! & can't wait to try it out.

You need to adjust VNC's settings to show true colour. Open VNC and scroll through the settings for the ubuntu connect, near the bottom you will find 'color format' change this to 24-bit color (4bpp), and you will want the new image that is the same rez as your tablet (1280x800)
New 800x480 and 854x480 images are uploaded the other two will be done today, sorry its taking so long my upload speeds are shocking, however the old image has had 250 downloads over the last two days, so im doing something right , once again please consider buying the paid version which will be getting many more features in the short future that he free one will not!
I have a question, is the paid version of the app showing up as compatible with you device? As someone has said its saying its incompatible even through the free one is compatiable
EDIT
I have now fixed the problem
All images are now done for the tablets etc, the paid app will be updated hopefully today to include them all, and the free app will include the 800x480 image
@zac,
Thanks for the YouTube video & it looks amazing. I can't to test it out when I get home. Cause I see that it recommends wifi for download. Cool. Thanks zac!
There has been a little conversation about this new device in the Yinlips G18 thread, but I thought it deserved it's own space.

Rooting / Google Market install instructions (thanks jutley)
Firmware update/restore instructions - Note that the S7100 is available in either a resistive or (slightly more expensive) capacitive touchscreen version. The ROMs for these two versions are not intercompatible. Make sure you get the correct update. (thanks blokenfeffer)
Starfox 64 demo:
More information will be added as it becomes available.
Quick walkthrough on how to replace the stock emulators on the S7100.
Disclaimer as usual: everything here is at your OWN RISK.
I'll be using Gensoid as an example, as this emulator refused to launch for me out of the box.
Requirements:
Rooted S7100.
File explorer with root permissions.
Gensoid replacement.
1) Once your device is rooted, you'll need to grab a file explorer. The explorer I use is ES File Explorer.
2) Download Gensoid. For this example, place this on the root of your SD card. As long as you can find this file in ES Explorer, it doesn't really matter where you put it.
Instructions:
Launch ES File Explorer, press the menu button and change the following options:
Change Home Directory to /
Check Root Explorer to enabled
Check Mount File System to enabled
Back out of the settings and navigate to the following directory:
/system/app
Long press on Gnes4droid.apk and rename it to Gnes4droid.apkbak
Navigate to /system/libs/ and rename the folder Gnes4droid to Gnes4droidbak
Now power off the S7100 and power it back up again, if you do not power off installation in the next step will fail.
Launch ES File Explorer again and find the APK for Gensoid that you downloaded previously and press it. It should now offer to install the application, follow the on screen steps and you should have successfully replaced the preloaded version of Gensoid.
Any games you have should still autmoatically launch from the Game Center icons and the MD lists, but adds the advantage of having a launcher icon for the emulator itself, should you wish to customise your device with another launcher.
This should work for any preloaded emulator that you wish to replace with a previous version. Do NOT delete the other emulators just incase you want to revert.
If you have any issues, you can always undo the renaming operations above.
I ordered one of these things a few weeks ago, and finally got it in the mail, but it doesn't boot; it sits at a blank white screen. Any thoughts?

Tried booting into recovery and loading factory defaults? I read about someone who had a similar issue.
Which website did you buy it from?
If factory defaults don't work you could also try downloading f/w above and reloading it.
To get into recovery (courtesy of Jutleys via apad forum):
Press and hold the Menu button, keep the Menu button pressed and now press the Power on button. The "upgrading please wait" message will be displayed.The menu will be displayed. Use the Volume + and - buttons to navigate the menu options.From the menu you can perform the following functions:Wipe data/factory reset.Yes-delete all user data.Wipe cache partition.Wipe media storage partition.Apply SD-card update.zip.
From the menu choose "Apply SD-card update.zip" select the option using the Back button. Wait while the tablet reflashes. Ensure the battery is fully charged or the power cable is connected before starting the reflash process. After the reflash is complete. Press the Back button to reboot the tablet.
I just ordered one of these. Sounds perfect since I am delevoping games for Android, and this is a mix of everything Android it seems.
I got just about all Emulators for Android, so I hope to test how well they will work on this. Amiga, C64, almost all Segas, most Nintendo, DosBox and Playstation 1. I just worry that it might be too low quality and won't work at all.

JXD S7100 ADW Launcher & Custom icons
Just got mine a couple days ago...
First thing i did was root, install market, and got rid of that horrible launcher it comes with, replaced it with ADW, and i also made a few custom icons for games and emulators, still working on more. Heres a pic

When u say u got rid of the launcher, can u completely remove it or just use adw instead?
Reason bring is I installed go launcher but the original still resides.
Also do u know how to get rid if the Chinese market and crap? I replaced some default emulators with new versions by renaming originals in system/app folder but can't see anything fire the Chinese stuff.
I did not completely remove it but I beleive you can use titanium backup, I used it to remove all the Chinese apps and everything else I didn't need

Wouldn't be wise to remove their launcher entirely. If you use an alternative launcher though, you can set it as the default launcher which effectively does the same thing anyway.
Settings > applications > all > launcher > clear defaults on "Launch by default".
Next time you press HOME, it will ask you which app to use as your default launcher, set it to Go Launcher and it'll be the default launcher from boot.
To reverse this if you have any issues, repeat the steps above and select Go Launcher to clear defaults, instead of launcher.

JXD s7100 Bluetooth Support?
Does anyone know if this device supports Bluetooth? I read on another forum that there is a firmware upgrade for the resistive screen model that has Bluetooth in the caption. If the device does have Bluetooth, does this mean it's only in the resistive screen model? Maybe only later releases of the device received the Bluetooth capability (resistive and capacitive)? Thanks for any information.

There seems to be a few different models out there and seemingly one of them has bluetooth. I'm not aware of where this model is being sold though, as almost nobody seems to have a bluetooth enabled model.
My capacitive model doesn't have bluetooth and looking at the restive models other users have, theirs don't have it either.
Fairly sure this isn't a stock upgrade for later releases though, rather another SKU.

One thing I find that is strange though. The following sites list that it does have Bluetooth. Sorry I could not link to the entire URL. The forum has yet to give me the privilege to do so.
ownta.com
lettouch.com
r4shop.co.uk
Do you think that this is an error on their part? They have had this same information on their site since the launch of the device.

It's possibly an error, or they could have the bluetooth model. Mine has bluetooth sharing running in the background, but there's no bluetooth hardware in the machine that I'm aware of.
There are definitely 3 different firmware revisions on the JXD site though, including bluetooth and none bluetooth versions.

Thanks again, blokenfeffer. That answers my question to why I saw a picture on JXD's website with the Bluetooth symbol running in the notification bar. It must have just been running in the software, yet it does not have the actual hardware to support it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the new units coming out have Bluetooth or not.
Mine definitely does not have bluetooth. Interestingly, it thinks it has GPS, but even after spending 10 very cold minutes outside with the device pointed at the sky, I could not get a single satellite signal. So I suspect that radio is not present either.
Lots of tinkering!
I have been following this thread since its introduction and appreciate all the tips and tricks that have been very helpful. I thought I would add my findings to the thread.
I finally got current location working in the browser and on wifi.
After countless try's I have found a reliable networklocation.apk that works..
- 1 First you must be rooted
- 2 In order to get it to work google search tiadroid6.1 and its the first link that pops up.
- 3 Extract the file networklocation.apk and using (es file explorer or similiar app) and add it to your /system/apps folder
- 4 shutdown and reboot your device
Volia! enjoy!
Things I have currently done
- Rooted/Market via visionary
- Changed boot screen
- ICS Keyboard (must have)
- Removed Badiu and all the factory launcher and junk (makes this thing pretty snappy)
- Netflix works great
- Skype works but hangs at times
Problems I'm currently working
- factory camera app is really screwy I downloaded HDR app from the market and it appears to work fine so I'm hoping its software
When I load it I sit at a blank screen regardless of which camera I have selected. Sometimes I can get it to work by going to video and clicking the mms video option.
- GTA III boots and loads just fine plays the entire movie and will sometimes even let you play for a minute or two then crashes with an android process error
I *had* Bluetooth on mine untill I dared to update it with one of the firmware on JXD's website
UPDATE:
Fixed my camera problem and with chainfire 3D most games work really well on this thing. For those that have sporadic camera issues make sure that you don't have the screen locked and that the screen rotates.
I'm crossing my fingers to get gingerbread on this device so that we can use OnLive gaming.
Also I have been messing with power profiles and am seeing better battery life in the 4+ hr range.
The charger that came with it died so I'm in the process of building another one. So more to come once I can charge this thing!

Quick question about your bluetooth. Did you actually have it working? If so have you taken apart to get the BT chip info by chance to try and recover that functionality?

Well, I could turn it on & off, it seemed to be responding properly, was going to test some bluetooth gadgets after the firmware upgrade but alas...
I haven't taken the thing apart yet, I'm mailing back & forth with JXD at the moment to see if they can help, if that fails though I probably will take it apart.

Cricket Ignite
I just got my ZTE N9511 on Black Friday. Last night they stopped me from using PowerAmp Pro that I got from torrent downloads. Today I uninstalled it, installed Titanium Backup Pro and deleted Cricket Ignite off my phone... I am still wet behind the ears with all of this, will my phone be okay, and is there anything else I should take off my phone as far as system apps go?

So far I have froze/disabled a few system apps.. Click here to see.

custom rom for zte source ?
Anyone knows about A custom rom for the zte source?
@2012crazymexican
From what I have heard, there is no fastboot for the Source... which means ... well I don't know for sure but I believe you need fastboot in order to flash a custom ROM. I am far from a Dev, and have little experience beyond simple adb commands and a few fastboot commands. There IS a way to put software on this device, though I doubt ZTE is going to give out its secrets. If this phone becomes more popular then hopefully we will get some smart devs, like Hashcode for example, who can work on this phone. Until then, I will be doing whatever I can to unlock this device as best as I can.

So I'm a dumbass
The title says it all. Apparently I either deleted the wrong thing, or something, but I just got my Source this afternoon and did the root on it, and then installed Titanium Backup.... I did a backup of all the apps, but when I try to restore, I get multiple failures. Not sure what happened and frankly don't care, (the phone still works great minus the Ignite crap by the way) but I've found factory test mode and the recovery module...
Using this method I'd like some of you rooted folks to try and do a ROM dump. Try it from Factory Test Mode AND the Recovery Mode.
To get to recovery: Either restart the device and hold Volume Up, or completely power it down and start with the volume up.
Factory Test Mode: Same thing as recovery, except you use Volume Down.
I'm gonna do a DD on this and download the full SDK, see what I can figure out, but I am so not a Dev, dudes and dudettes, so it'll be up to the ZTE lovers out there to make it happen. I'm also looking to see about Link2SD support and EXT4 support, though with all the storage, it'll be awhile before I fill mine...
Still, this is a brand new phone, pretty much, and I'm gonna love messing around with it with you folks, but I've been around dev's and fankids before: androidforums Admire and Evo 4G threads, to name two. I sincerely hope that we can all work together to pimp this darn thing instead of fighting like a bunch of kids :highfive: I'll post my DD dumps and whatnot as I get them, and try on your devices as well. The more people we have working on this the better.
@DaemeonZane
Thanks for the info! Added to OP.
Have you managed to get the driver installed for FTM?
Recovery is crap... No zip install... no backup.... but a must have regardless.
ALL THE MORE REASON WHY WE NEED SOME SMART DEVS HELPING!!
CWM or TWRP would be great! Custom Roms would be great!
Hey Gus.
.
Hey guys I too am a noob and don't know anything hardly about Modding the android system but I am totally techale and willing to try almost anything. I got this phone to learn on but I am finding out tbat there isn't much soft ware writtien for this model so I get to work with you guys on some real development instead of just flashing and recovering...
I really want to k kW if anyone has had any luck finding and flashing any costoms at all... if so could you post the link with instructions. Thanks guys

I got it to register just by having Windows Update look for dirvers. Picked a good ADB driver right off the bat.... Right now I've got root and am attempting to use an adb shell and rkdump to get a good image.... but under /dev/block I can't identify what's recovery, what's system, etc.; all I get is the following:
It's kind of a pain in my ass, because I'm not quite sure what's what, but if any of you have used ZTE devices before, you'd have a better idea of their naming conventions than I would... tell me what to dump and I've got you, just keep in mind I'm no longer stock (i.e., I've deleted a lot of the bloatware from the system)
@DaemeonZane
Excellent work! I will try the windows update idea. The driver for FTM is the only driver I couldn't find. I have ZTE_Android USB_Driver_For_Microsoft_PC and ZTE Handset USB Driver 5.2066.1.8 But neither of those provide the FTM driver. You are making good strides towards unlocking the potential for this phone. We do need someone helping who is a linux wiz or ZTE wiz.
Have you had any success with googling those listed items (like mmcblk0p1)?
#GREAT WORK! :good:
@strykerhandy
Welcome to the thread!
I'm excited to have as many ZTE Source owners working on this device as we can. Any help you can provide is appreciated. As far as any questions you might have, ... what you read here is it! Lol! This device is so new that there isn't anything else written about it outside of specs and reviews. As far as I know, this is the only thread out there ... here on xda, or anywhere for that matter.

You are correct. cricketusers.com/cricket-zte-source/ has a couple basic threads discussing specs, but that's about it. AndroidForums doesn't even have a whole lot on it... So we're it.
As far as googling the partitions, and whatnot, not so much, but it is what it is. I'm currently at work (Buffalo Americas) but when I get to the house tonight I'll be able to dig up a bit more. I'm a Linux enthusiast, but my main bag is actually networking and security... lol Still working on getting that dump, but if anyone figures it out and can make it happen, post it for the world to see... I've never had an Android in my hands that wasn't rooted and customized to some degree, and I'm not giving up on this one just yet... lol
Not a bad benchmark...

I got on there and read up on it but its to.advanced for me right now... also i cant figure out why basic flashing wont work from romtoolbox pro. I have tried frlashing some. BOot animations and i did some.fonts but the animations stop half way through and screen goes black till the.phone boots. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated..
Sent from my ZTE_N9511 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I will look into the cwm builder... As for the boot animations, perhaps you need to resize them. Not all are designed for our layouts. Just a thought.
*Edit* Using ROM toolbox pro I was able to change my boot animation. So it does work.

Yes, Android support English(you can use settings to change into English), but Default Windows 8.1 with Bing can't do this, you have to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro for adding additional language.
I have same tablet and I found same problem. It comes with only chinese single language version 8.1 and there no way to install english or other language.
I tried one tutorial using command line but now my tablet cannot start correctly and it show error and ask for recovering.
Someone can help with an easy way to delete chinese and add different language?
Thanks

Open Control Panel, then use "Add Windows 8.1 Features", input your Windows 8/8.1 Professional License key and click next, after restart several times, you should be able to install other language.
Just ordered mine on Banggood
Is there a way to remove or reduce Android partition?
Edit 05/22/2015 : Just received my X16HD 3G 64GB.
After crashing my Android rom (inconsistent UID or something like this) after trying to remove chinese apps after root, I reflashed the Android rom from files from dl.dbank.com/c0zzh1czvt
Above link concerns X16HD 3G (M5J4) while mine is X16HD 3G (M5J5). Don't know the difference.
Is there another owner of the X16HD tablet? I'm so lonely
Keyboard features limited in Android mode
Just wondering if there's a shift key feature to enable typing in all the symbols when the docking keyboard is attached... the only symbol I can use are all the lower case keys. Important symbols like exclmation mark and 'at', hashtag, dollar sign can't be activated, and I have to detach it, to enable the keyboard so I can press it, and some app actually will auto refreshed the screen upon docking and removing, and it removes whatever thing I previously typed into any fields. Very unproductive..... anyway, I am also looking forward to a English version of the windows... hope some god appear to save us 'exlaimation marks x 3'
anyway, i also realised that the x16hd have a design issue... do not put it in squeezy area, as the back of the tablet sinks in easily, causing the front glass to stick to the LCD, causing a stick mark... i manage to bend it back by applying a force onto the screen directly, praying that it won't break... slowly, it was bent back, and it unsticked itself, but with little pressure like pressing it onto my shirt to cleaning it, will easily cause it to bend back... just take note and don't let this happen. cover doesn't help. it bends too easily
Where i can find product key?
How did u reflash the rom? I have managed to stuff my UI on android after root
Teclast X16HD Original ROM and Installations (in English-ish) here
Hi All,
I've bought this tablet, it's good but of course it comes with an all-chinese manual and no support etc. So if you're like me and start deleting partitions without really knowing what you're doing and trust your luck, you might need a full reinstall one day and unless you speak chinese, you're out of luck
So I took the time and researched the teclast website, downloaded the How-To manual, translated it into English (Google translate so don't expect A-Grade sentences) and made a doc out of it.
The document with detailed how-to and screenshots is attached down here (DOC inside the ZIP). It's the exact translation from the Chinese one from the manufacturer, so don't blame me if something doesn't work
The actual link to download the ROM: dl.vmall.com/c0zzh1czvt - click the folder and download the files one by one (don't fall for those chrome extensions and stuff, nobody needs them).
+Edit: remove all the chinese characters from all the folder names after you dl&extract .
Cheers, hope I could help anyone.

Thanks, I did the same.
Flashed both systems 5-6 times (from a Windows 7 computer. The Intel Android Device USB Drivers v1.5 works well on Win7 but failed to install on Win8.1. Drivers v1.9 installed correctly on Win8.1 but the tablet isn't recognized).
Toolbox from Teclast X98 worked well to root Android from X16HD.
Pay attention, don't uninstall (with Titanium Backup for example) the apps :
- "Game Center",
- tUI (the original Launcher)
- Update
or you'll have to reflash Android system because it won't boot anymore.
Game Center can be disabled, but the option is disabled for tUI and Update.
I installed Nova Launcher and hide these apps from its customization menu.
Installed all the Google apps from Play Store.
All (Inbox, Gmail, Calendar...) works well except Contacts : I can't synchronize with my Google contacts book.
How about you?
Hi guys, I just hit this thread because I was researching how people are going with the Teclast X16HD 3G as it looks like an interesting tablet. I just got the Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet 5 days ago from OKQI and it seems all fine, zero lockups or anything unpleasant like that but I am interested in what else is out there as well now. This has been my first tablet away from Apple.
While the windows 8.1 is quite flashy looking I think I will stick to Android, although I am surprised/disappointed how crappy Chrome looks on it compared to Chrome in Windows 8.1
The main interest for me with the Teclast X16HD 3G 10.6 was the larger screen. as its 10.6 inches.
I noticed a few posts on here complaining they can't get English going in Windows with Bing on it with a *fully activated* installation and I remember reading a while ago this article below.
It basically says that Microsoft deliberately disables the ability to have English on Windows 8.1 with Bing with a fully activated key on tablets bigger then 10.1" inch in size. Well thats the way I understand it anyway.
"Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Bing" is a very specific version of windows aimed at holding ground against Android OS in the tablet wars, is another way of putting it.
Google "Windows 8.1 with Bing licensing model explained, essentially free for some tablets" But not if their too big..
http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-81-bing-licensing-model-explained-essentially-free-some-tablets
These cheaper MS Windows licences have been aimed at the cheaper tablet market against Android (and also Chinese market in general)
So yeah as far as I see it the Teclast X16HD 3G 10.6 is "0.5" inches too big and I guess Windows 8.1 very well knows that too.
Mine from Banggood was delivered with english installed.
No idea how they did. After reflashing windows partition, no way to change back to english from chinese.
Hopefully I have a spare Win8.1 licence.
I'm testing Win10 technical preview. For now, all is working perfectly.

Hello turtlez86, I bought this tablet this week, and I have the same problem with keyboard in android (in windows it's ok), no works ALT, and other keys. Did you find a solution?
For information, I bought it in banggood too, It cames in english and it does not have the 7% battery drain.
Best Regards.

IE11 is preinstalled with Windows8.1, no additional action is required. Just update it via Windows Update. But if you are using thirdparty browser(e.g. Firefox/Chrome), you need to install standalone Adobe Flash Player Plugin.

I ordered one as well.
I'm curious how to remove the Android partition completely as well.
