I will keep this thread up to date as long as you guys can provide me more and more infos about the tablet. Hope you guys will stick to this thread and keep it up!
Thanks!
I found some Tablets with stereo speakers and enchanced NAND memory. Seems like we got the same thrill here as we got at the HeroTab M802. Correct me if I'm wrong but there where also two versions, one with one speaker and one with stereo speakers, right?

Pretty good to know. I will add it soon. Would be nice if we could discover some good/bad things about this devices from some users.
Unfortunately both the PandaWill Site and Forum are offline..
I just got this tablet today and I am already wanting to hack on it Unfortunately the Android ADK cant see it so I can't ADB to it. has anyone else had this issue?
Since I'm not using this tablet now I can't help you anyway. You may wanna take a lookt at the PandaWill forum. They got some new firmware updates over there. Maybe they will fix your problem?
Can you tell me if the backbody is real aluminium or just poor plastic?
PandaWill Thread: http://www.pandawillforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=2660&extra=page=1
Thanks!
the backbody is real aluminium! The touch is from LG and the same like ipad (glas).
Now everybody how i come into recovery?

Hello,
I ordered a Herotab M10 2 days ago on pricedinchina.com. I'm aware it doesn't comeis with Android Market preinstalled and therefore I would like to install it manually if possible.
Regarding the firmware you're mentioning for the Gpad Gforce, are we really speaking of the same tablet? Many specs are different: 8GB flash NAND (Gpad Gforce) vs 2 GB (Herotab M10), Webcam (only Gpad), different batteries, etc...
How can we be sure that we're not going to brick the tablet if we use Gpad's firmware ?. Btw, there are 2 different firmwares on pandawill forum: one for the original Gpad Gforce that didn't come with Android Market and another one for the new version that comes with the Market. Which would be the right one for the M10?
One last question: is there any other way to install Android Market in the Herotab M10 apart from a new firmware?
Many thanks.

Hi, so you live in Germany, as I do. But I won't buy from Furtwangen, heard to much bad reputation about them. But I also don't want to buy from Pandawill
Have a look at your tablet, does it have 1 or 2 speakers?
From the research i've done so far I believe that there are at least 2 different version out of the device (And I don't mean just the NAND difference). Maybe there is one "original" device and one cheaper copy of it like it is at the Herotab M802..

Thank you! I will try the procedure explained in your link... I'm really a newbie so I was expecting a simpler method (such as a third party apk that could be run from the SD, for instance...).
I will let you know when I receive the tablet!

And you're not wrong with thinking of that. Since Android is an open-source plaform there are several alternative markets, just google for SlideMe, N-Market

i have the original one with one speaker on the right side. i know the problems with furtwangen, but its better to buy from germany as from china. If you have a problem with the tablet, you can send it fast back. send back to china costs 40-60€. So have a little bit trouble with furtwangen is better then have much and expensive trouble with china

Well I think I will wait until the PandaWill site is up again, and then maybe wait until I can buy this device from eBay Germany. It's pretty new though so give it a lil bit of time.
But apart from that I'm assuming you don't have the original one, do you? Because the PandaWill's version is sold with a camera...?
Something new about firmware related issues you may or may not have. Again I'm not owning this device ATM so all I'm saying has not been proved by myself.
As far as it looks now the Pandawill company got connections to the producer of this devices. There are 2 version, one "old" GPad which has no official market by stock and has no Gpad logo on the back, and one "new" version of it which has both.
You may check your device and decide whether you got an old or a new version. If you're done checking there are also 1 firmware update for each version available at the Pandawill forum (Please look at the links in the first post).
Further there is another version from a user in the Pandawill forum that he labeled "clean imx515 2.2 froyo build". You may also want to check out this in the first post.
Hope this helps a lil bit.

Ehm.. you may find one, but it won't bring you any further. The developers of this device haven't just removed the Market (vending.apk) for no reason. They did it because there is currently no way to get a Google ID, which is required to use the market. Another apk you would download from the net will end in the same result.
But anyway, haven't you tried some of the firmwares mentioned in the first thread? Because there should be an firmware with working market for both the old and the new gpad version.

Thank you again! I haven't received my tablet yet (and it won't be shipped before Feb 10th because of the Chinese New Year...) so I haven't been able to test anything yet.
In any case I must admit I'm not 100% confident about installing a Gpad Gforce firmware on the Herotab M10. I haven't seen any reference about this procedure and its results anywhere yet and I wouldn't like to be the first to test it with my limited knowledge... It's not a U$100 tablet!
I will keep you updated. Thanks again for your support!

Well, I stil assume both to be the same devices, but of course I don't know it. I don't think that you can constant damage your device because even if they aren't the same they are quite equal. So the firmware bust be quite equal too. The most horrible that could happen is that you won't be able to use your device anymore. Then you would need a HeroTab M10 firmware. But again i'm 90% sure they are the same.
Please send me a link where you bought it.
Hi guys!
Since I didn't find any review to the "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" offered in the (german) cect-shop, I was wondering whether someone already bought and tried it. Specs are quite nice, IMHO and videos on youtube look promising. Can someone share his experience with that tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Rena3 Reply
Hi,
I personally have the device and the experience so far has been good using the device.
There is a whole bunch of information over at slatedroid page where there is a group of active users.
Sorry but my post is very little so you have to head over at slatedroidpage, please replace the dots with "."
www dot statedroid dot com/forum/204-rena/
Perhaps someone wants to start a thread over at this page? Hopefully some XDA developer over here owns the device and we can get things started
overall the device has received 3 firmware upgrades so far and the community is hopeful for gingerbread to be released for this. We do have the kernel source codes for this product but do not have any developers to help us out with getting gingerbread out yet for this.
also replace statedroid with "slatedroid"
I also don't purchase this tablet, but i purchase flytouch 3 from a china site,called mcbub.com,i find they have the A9 NEC renesas tablet, here is some review in their site:
http://www.mcbub.com/customer-revie...GB-Bluetooth-HDMI-MID-black-CN101769--136318/
hope this can help you.

full root for Rena 3
Greetings, comrades!
All the usual, lazy engine of progress. Tired of doing manually as rooting and rebuild the firmware for Rena, i am wrote a script that works like a flash, but flash itself is not working, just do it root! =)
Thus, the universal root for any firmware Rena 3:
Install:
Unzip all the files and qroot directory to root SD card.
Turn off the device.
Turn on, hold VOL+ POWER.
Wait until the message "Well done. Root complete."
Reboot device, enjoy.
The necessary files and directories:
install.sh
uImage4
ff4
cramfs4
sdboot.bin
uboot-sd.bin
and directory /qroot
NOTE!
The update does not repartition and reformat the partitions do not.

Hi, first time posting so I hope I am in the right section. I recently acquired a MachSpeed Trio Stealth Pro tablet. When I received it the previous owner tried to flash the tablet to the unofficial Cyanogenmod 9 ROM that is floating around for the AllWinner A10 tablets. In doing this he rendered the tablet unusable. After doing some research I found out what I have is an updated model with a A8 Cortex A13 instead of the A8 Cortex A10. I did some searching and found a Cyanogenmod ROM for the A13 that mostly works with this unit. I was able to modify the key-map and get all the buttons working. The real problems are the auto-rotation and the camera do not work. I found another ROM that both devices work on and I have tried everything I can think of to try and get the known working kernel modules from one ROM to load with the CM kernel but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried to "insmod" the modules that I know work but I receive the following error, "insmod: init_module 'gc030809.ko' failed (Exec format error)" and the output from "dmesg" is " gc030809: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout" (The other module gives the exact same errors). I have learned this is happening because of the way modules are written for android with them being version and kernel specific. I want to fix this if possible and have a fully functional tablet again. Unfortunately I do not have a dump of the original ROM and my programming skills are basic at best. I know its a long shot but can anyone help me? The ROM that contains the known working modules is "F1(A13)-20121102.1.0.3.img" which belongs to the A13 version of the LY-F1 so I am thinking this tablet I have is a close clone. The CM ROM I am trying to use is "CM9.1-Manta-mid08-alpha7.zip" and was created for the Manta Mid-08. Both ROM's are ICS 4.0.4 with kernel version 3.0.8+. I can provide links to both ROM's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 development
Hi folks, after I've long been working on my device and only made little progress in building LineageOS for my Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 I decided to look for other developers with similar devices.
My Mi Pad 3 (codename: cappu) is a tablet based on a Mediatek MT8176 SoC. It was launched in April 2017. The tablet comes with a 7.9" display with a resolution of 2048 pixels by 1536 pixels at a PPI of 326 pixels per inch. It is powered by a 2.1GHz/1.7GHz Hexa Core processor ( 2 x 2.1GHz Cortex A72 + 4 x 1.7GHz Cortex A53 ) and it comes with 4GB of RAM. The tablet packs 64GB of internal storage that cannot be expanded. It was shipped out with Android 7.0 (Miui) and is still on this version).
Two months ago Xiaomi finally released Kernel Source Code for my device. It was broken, but I fixed most of the conflicts, streamed the kernel up to latest linux-stable and added some features. I also tried to build LineageOS & AOSP trees, but I have to admit, I'm starting to get desperate. For this specific SoC - even it's predecessor MT8173 - there is no activie development. And that is what I am looking for!
I collected some devices that either use MT8176 SoC, or the older MT8173 SoC. Some of them have Kernel Sources, which I listed and linked below.
All questions, requests for help, suggestions, ... are welcome. If you own any of the listed devices feel free to write and help. This thread is also on Reddit.

First thanks for your initiative! And I am very interested in obtaining a Custom ROM for my Teclast T10 E3C5 device with the aforementioned MTK8176 Chipset. I cannot help you with development but are open to test it and report bugs.
Hi Goayandi,
I'm not sure how many experienced ROM developers you will get. (I'm not one of them. I have compiled and modded existing ROMs, but never ported one.) I've heard several people say they will look into building a custom ROM for mt8163 or mt8173. But that's always as far as it gets. They never come back with any results. So I was just curious, what are you getting stuck on?
As far as I can tell, one major problem with porting to Mediatek is that they modify a lot of Google's OS code like frameworks and libraries. I do see that you already have some MTK customized repositories in your github library. You may have to do some reverse engineering of the stock ROM to confirm that the MTK changes are the same ones you have in your repos. Yes, that's a huge pain. It's also likely that MTK's patches for mt81xx and mt67xx, which is probably what you have, are pretty different.
One suggestion I want to make is to start out with a ROM that's as close to stock as possible. That means building a plain AOSP build NRD90M. This will reduce as many trouble-causing variables as possible. That's how I would do it. If you accomplish that, it will be easy to move on to higher Android versions or LineageOS, etc.
I would also use the prebuilt kernel for now. There is not much point to compiling your own for the same reason I just mentioned. A lot more variables would enter the equation. (Unless maybe you can test it independently with the stock FW.)
Any chances of giving TeamMAD access to one of these devices?
I have a Teclast T8 stuck in fastboot mode. No recovery, no system. adb cannot see the device. Is there a way to recover from that?

In T10 thread I have heard of same kind of issue. Disconnect battery (solder) or wait for device to die, then charge and it should be fine

I tried that. That would work if recovery were bootlooping, and system were intact. In my case, my T8 cannot get to system. The Teclast Logo goes through its animation on startup, then gets stuck there. Holding volume up and power gives me 3 choices: recovery, fastboot, normal. Recovery and Normal are both broken. Fastboot is the only one I can do. How to recover from that?

You need to reflash firmware/rom with the sp flash tool.

You should flash stock firmware on your tablet with SPflash tools. Search for Mediatek SPflash + your device name in Google. Flash procedure should look like this:
FLASH Mediatek device
- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select "scatter-Loading" and search MT8173_Android_scatter.txt in ROM
- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool
- Select "Download Only" or if upgrade "Firmware upgrade"
- Turn off your phone (and don't turn on the phone).
- Press “Download” button to start
- and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.
- And green circles display
- Finish !
- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.
So you should look for your ROM/FIRMWARE and than flash it. Key step for you is to turn of the tablet, push download button in SPflash tools, and then connect USB to the tablet. Flash will then start!
But Google for instructions on how to use SPflash
Thank you, BiG_FooT and fastmix! Leaving it in power off state before SP flash was the missing step. I don't know how I missed that in previous Google searches. Fully working tablet now.
I now have two of these things. If you (or any others interested in developing this Mediatek) want me to use one of my Teclast T8s for testing for you, let me know.
Has anyone successfully flashed the firmware??
The system.img for all the ROMs is corrupt
Hi! I have an Alfawise Tab (rebranded JDTAB 01) with MT8173 chipset and android 6.0.
I managed to find the stock firmware and recovery, so i tried to port this TWRP recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-mi-pad-3-cappu-t3744185 unsuccessfully, maybe because of the different android versions(?)
I don't know....
Does anyone know how to port- build a custom recovery for these chipsets (mt8173-76)?
Or know if there is a working TWRP based on android 6.0 and these chipsets?
So, is there still any development? Where kernel-sources for Teclast devices can be found?
What an utter failure. Of both the manufacturers and the community.
It's fairly clear that the problem is hardware fragmentation. There is just too much diversity in Android hardware platforms, even too many different ARM-based CPUs, and too few users on many of those to justify a major development effort for any of them.
The moral of the story must be: if you want your tablet to remain useful for more than a couple of years, don't buy a cheap Chinese generic one made by a company that isn't a famous global brand. Stick to hardware that has sold in the millions.

What we really need to do is reverse engineer a few roms already built for these chipsets, then see what they all have in common. This will help us figure out what needs to be done to the kernel, and what firmware we need.
Any news? Has anyone tried to flash GPD firmware on one of the other tablets with the same chipset? I have a Chuwi Hi9 with MTK 8173 and I would love to be able to change the ROM, the default one sucks big time. I actually bought it because it had the same chipset as one of the GPD devices.
Where To Start??

Hi,
If I were you I would start by having a really good look through the MTK_X20_BASE_AOSP open source code here https://github.com/archermind/MTK_X20_BASE_AOSP
In that you will find all the required mtk binary's and documented associated google dependency's and stock mtk app's needed. Dig through all the make files and compare your project_confg which should be in your system/data/misc on 6.0 and vendor/data/misc 7.0 with the one in that source to see whats built.
Because it's mediatek it's messy and things are all over the place but after days of reading it you can kinda start follow the rabbit eventually :laugh:
Take what you need and assemble it into a nice logical fashion using a experienced dev's work as a example and try a AOSP build if that works then try Lineage.
When you have things stable follow others who have stepped up in firmware version.
Most things should work if you have a working kernel.
Best place to start would be HERE it's invaluable :good:
There are other places and make's for BT WiFi GPS etc etc so ensure to explore it well.
Obviosly get the blobs from your own device if poss else pinch them form that source and give them a try it's all trial and error.
If I ever find the time I may join you one day to build a rom for the Lenovo Tab2 mt8165 please note most of these mt8xxxx have a equivalent mt67xx/mt65xx see my sig below for a example.
Good Luck and Happy building :fingers-crossed:

Hello!
Do I have a chance to do this with my teclast T8 device if I don't have even kernel-source code? For now I've ported most of firmwares different from my stock ROM (MIUI, ZenUI etc). But I would like to upgrade android version ( Nougat to Oreo) if it possible. Since not so long new device ( alldocube X) was released on same chipset (mt8176) with installed android Oreo, maybe this may help some way?

Hello To All
I have a Teclast M89 That I rooted with Magisk and have a working TWRP for backing up.
I am very interested in Testing Kernels and new Roms.I have already wiped and reflashed device a couple times -now Everything for testing,flashing, and booting has been verified.
@Goayandi
Just stopping by to say thanks for this, used some stuff from here for lineage-12.1 on Fire HD10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/rom-lineage-12-1-t3953677
Hello,
I recently bought a second A95XF4 (from the official Vontar store on Aliexpress), because the first one is really good.
But the new one came with Android 11, full of bugs, huge bluethoot delay, side screen for portrait apps, etc.
So I found in the net stock firmware: "aml_upgrade_package-x4-04-26.img" and applied it to the new box. But apparently the hardware is incompatible with this firmware, now neither the wifi nor the bluetooth connect anymore, nor does it have a MAC address.
I really need to know how to fix this. Or at the very least, find the stock firmware for Android 11 for this new version.
If anyone can help I will be forever grateful.
Thank you very much !
Please download this version android 11 for wifi chip aw3155-50 R
