I have been looking at an low cost tablet to tinker/play/abuse. I can't see spending 400-500 on a tablet that I will break/brick while playing around with. I was looking at the superpad/a8/flytouch2/etc, then I found the superpad2/flytouch3.
Anyone have any input or suggestions about this device.
I have had mine a week or so, which this is my first android device. I like it so far, but, not that many prople have them yet so I am afraid to start *tinkering*. I have been trying to find a official forum thread dedicated to the tablet, but cannot. The tablet runs froyo ok at most. The mic is awful, speakers are less output then my blackberry. The touchscreen could be somewhat more responsive. I am having a hard time rooting without a usb to usb. The tablet has some potential in the sense that it has 512 mb ram. The tablet does not run flash. I am waiting for someone to develop a honeycomb rom, which is tablet oriented.

I received mine today and I am having same trouble to root the tablet.
I have also a FLYTOUCH2 (now on sale) which I have easy rooted with Universalroot, but don't work with this one.

I figured it out, but have not done it yet because the stupid usb to usb cord. All I have is micro and mini usb to usb.
First, you must declare your application as "debuggable" in your Android Manifest. To do this, go to the android website and go to devoloping then device. What I am not sure about is how to find the right driver for the ft3 that will allow you to see the system files and write to the android manifest file. If you are able to view and write to the android manifest, then that will enable the devolopers setting to actually enable the usb debugging. In essence, you have to enable the settings to enable the usb debugging. As soon as usb debugging is enabeled, then you can run Z4root.
Just ordered mine from Ebay last Sunday, so hopefully it will be here soon. Any estimates? I have a feeling there is a growing community for these tablets, because they really are a bang for your buck.
Well, it turned out to not be made by "Gnome" so I'm thinking we have all been shammed. Anyone that bought it, including me, has a knock off of a knock off in their hands. :/
Good Evening!
Any more progress with rooting this device?
I am having an impossible time trying to tether my Windows Mobile Phone to this device without Ad-Hoc Network Cababilities!
Thanks, Audi2Audi.

Why not get the nook?

I just received mine and in one week I manage to root it, there is a program will makes you enabling the USB debugging, after enabling the USB debugging then I used the z4root to root it. the program for USB debugging is in the market I forget it's name since I'm new to android but search fro "root" or "rooted" then try the programs for that.
but now I played with the system and it's stopped in android logo. I press the MENU button mean while I pressed the POWER ON button then the system interned the recovery mode which has a default process by automatic recovery only with out any interfering from my side. also it's not working.
Any body has an idea how to format it from the laptop?
Just an update:
I think this is the program to enable the USB debugging:
Button Savior (Root)

I would post the links to a guide to successfully root this device and to the "official" (such as it is) tech support site for the Flytouch3 / Superpad 2. However, forums rules...
Contact me at [email protected] and I will forward you the links if you wish to have them...

for price great tablet
JUST NEED A ROM CHIEF
don't know where else to post
i have purchased a flytouch 3 tablet.it has gps and needs an antenna which is external and a seperate piece.i would like to open the case and install an internal antenna.this antenna would still need to be powerful enough to grab the satelites (gps internal antenna available on ebay).don't know if this is doable,no electronics experience,just a thought.
then i was thinking of using the external space on the case from where the external gps antenna mount has been removed.i would like to connect a stronger dbs external(swivel)antenna to the wifi to extend my signal.
should you have a moment,thankyou.
i have a link on another computer,but if i remember,search for disassemble superpad 2.it has written instructions how to take apart the flytouch 2.there are two versions,one with screws and one without.mine has screws. i believe it to be the same case,minus the second tf slot.other take apart searches yielded little info.
to confirm, button savior and z4 worked for me to root.
flytouch 3 open instructions,from slatedroid, duno
Posted 20 December 2010 - 12:17 AM
Please be carefull when you open the device!
When you break your device, it's your problem
01. remove the 4 cover plates with a needle, then the 4 screws
02. you'll need a flat knife with a (about) 5mm blade
03. put the knife with the 5mm blade close to camera into the pad
04. lift up the display with the knife
05. lift up the display with a screw driver from inside the pen holder
06. unplug the touchscreen plug carefully
07. unplug the tft carefully
have fun!
poke around the same link and there are more instructions for the non screw version.as well as clips and tips.
Teardown
Hello guys, my first post here.
I bought mine on mar 26th from this store
ankaka . com
it was us$ 170 for the tablet + 25 for airmail shipping
I'm waiting for its arrival anything near 3 weeks and I'll post here
details when i will get hand on it.
For our friend who will install the internal GPS, please give us a kind
of teardown for the tablet with picutres!!
cheers, Denis
Sounds like an interesting operation...
Good luck & success!
Flytouch 3 has 5000mah battery, more nand (4gb), only one tft slot, froyo, usally comes with external gps antenna. I think there might be a option or two more that I missed. I believe these will become super popular if the hardware is generic enough, to warrent more development.

You can find firmware update here
Link for firmware is http://www.4shared.com/file/11HgaFfO/Disco_10inch_android22_2011031.html
To install the firmware, download the .zip on a PC from the link below. Extract the contents of the zip on a PC and copy the two files to the root directory of a formatted TF-Flash Card. The two extracted files must be placed in the root directory of the TF-card. Insert the card in to the Superpad2 FlyTouch3 and power on the tablet. The installation will be automatic.

I have been trying to find the original factory image, but have not been successful so far.
Got the the boot.img pulled and unpacked it, going to try to build proper CWM recovery (it has the "<3e>/ PUB101" recovery).
This is from build.prop: "ro.build.fingerprint=softwinners/crane_pub101/crane-pub101:4.0.3/IML74K/20120607:eng/test-keys"
I think it may be compatible with some other A10 tablets as far as the OS, minus the touch display properties.
My impressions so far:
- it's light weight, QWERTY keyboard is nice (no fingerprints!)
- WiFi reception is pretty good
- processor and RAM are fast enough
- additional storage with full SD Card
- 3 full USB host ports and LAN port
- built in camera and mic are pretty decent for Skype
- built in speaker is kind of weak

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems and bootloop.
I haven't spent much time playing with this, but mine boots and works fine.
When you say "Big Android Logo", is it the square logo in middle of screen, the greenish screen with Android in bottom right corner or the Letters "ANDROID" flashing in middle of screen? And how did you "reset" it?
I agree, there is not any usable information about this device on the interwebs, maybe because is so new and uncommon.
I'm trying to figure out how to connect it to a PC so we can get adb access, but with the 3 USB ports being host only, I haven't had any luck.
Hopefully some more people get this device so we can get some development.

any luck
yes mine got stuck at the point when "ANDROID" flashes in middle, is there any firmware i can flash on it or maybe links to the original firmware?
i really feel stupid now having bought this plastic crap.

I have not found the factory image and there is no manufacturer to contact.
Have you tried to boot it up while it's plugged in?

Lo and behold, I just found this:

From what I read there so far, it can be booted from USB (like the Nook Color from µSD card), so bricking it is almost impossible.

Dead?
Well, I went tot turn it on this morning and.... nothing!!! Only the green LED.
Plugged it it, let it charge for over 4 hours (normally it would take about 2- 2.5 to get full charge while turned off) and it will not come on.
Crap, I thought I was starting to make a little headway here...
Going to pop the cover and inspect the "guts" to see if anything maybe got disconnected and test the battery... (fingers crossed)...

Yup, dead netbook
Still dead, can't see anything "fried" inside, battery check out OK, don't know what else to do...

Hello, anyone still following this thread?
I got a tablet like this from a friend to play with. At least I think it's the same, I found this, it has no stickers except "Boxchp A10" on the bottom and white, but similar otherwise.
It also bootloops after using it a little while and first reboot. Does any one know a key combo to boot it with to factory reset or has any one managed to boot it to recovery? I have some image on a sdcard which the supplier claims it should boot if you just insert it to the sdslot but it has no effect what so ever.
I tried booting it while holding each of the mouse buttons down. Left mouse button has no effect but with right mouse button it just starts with black screen.

Hi labbe-
Head on over to the link I posted from elinux.org and read up on how to re-image the device.
Mine is dead, so I can't be of any more help. Over the holidays I'll try to spend some time on it to see if I can resurrect it.
Where did you get a copy of the vendor image? Do you mind sharing it?
I bought that minibook to have as a tool to learn how to develop on Android devices, but only got as far as pulling the recovery/kernel and system images before it decided to die. Hoping I can figure it out somehow...
Best regards

I would not recommend trying to flash the Iberry AX03 image onto the Minibook, hardware specs are quite different.
Ok, so I now got the PC recognizing the device when doing the special startup with holding down mouse2, pressing power button for two seconds and after that pressing powerbutton repeatedly, but I don't have usb drivers for it and the ones with livesuit don't work :E will try to locate some drivers before my friend comes to get it for himself to tinker with during the holidays :E
EDIT: got it working!! found the usb drivers and it upgraded from the image i had! the software model is SoftwinterEvbV13 so i think it's safe to assume this is indeed an allwinter tablet?

How are you connecting it via USB? My version dont have any kind of input USB, I had this laptop openned and there is free space with pinout, but without it. I also can't make it boot from SD. It does not have COM port, so I even can't connect console, to specify uBoot parametters. Any way to get linux running on it?

i wonder how this file is generated
contact me thanks
Reviving a very old thread., but it might come in handy for someone.
I just got this Netbook (OP) come back to life!!!
Steps:
1. download the SoftwinterEvbV13 zip from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35634915&postcount=13
2. Extract it
3. Make sure the Netbook is powered OFF. Remove back cover from the Netbook.
4. Insert USB A-to-A cable to Port #2, the closest on to the charging port; the other end insert to your (Windows) PC.
5. Open the LiveSuit tool and locate/select the (included) "suni4i_a10.img" (it's in the IMAGE folder).
6. Looking at the PC board in the picture of Post #7 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33468211&postcount=7 , there a are two SWITCHES,
marked "SW5" and "UBOOT".
7. Press and hold the "UBOOT" switch and press the "SW5". You should notice the power light should come on, also your PC should discover a new device.
Here, if your PC can't install the proper drivers, open up Device Manager, and manually install/update the driver from the UsbDriver folder.
8. At this point, if LiveSuit didn't recognize the Netbook, unplug the USB, and re-connect. LiveSuit will take over and flash the image.
9. Unplug USB and reboot the Netbook. Will take a while, might be on black screen for a bit, but eventually will boot to factory Android 4.0.3 ICS.
It worked for me.
Good luck.
Anyone else have one? I want to completely remove the demo software and use it as a tablet. Now please note I am looking for an answer that puts the instructions in steps like you're talking to a baby. Assume I have no experience in any of this. I also only want answers from people who have been successful at doing this and own the device.
Also I want to know: are the specs of a demo unit exactly the same as the normal retail version?
Build number if needed is: LRX22G.G920XXXU1AOD7_LLK
Bought in the UK.
So far I've turned the demo stuff off as far as I can. I entered the password 5444 and whatnot to disable it.
Also:
Fast charge doesn't seem to work. Charges quite slowly.
I get this error when I try to install certain apps: unknown error -501.

If it's a live demo unit it's probably crippled in most ways. Wifi, Fast Charging, Cell Radio, things like that are all probably affected by this. Live demo units are primarly there to show a "finished" product. It's there to show of how pretty the exterior of the phone and the screen. Maybe the camera. But it's probably a pre-release version. You're going to have a bad time trying to make it work for your needs. Best of luck.
Thanks but I'm looking for help from people who have the demo unit. I have a galaxy s4 demo unit as well and it's fine, had no problems
OT why are u fun of getting demo units, aren't these supposedly be for demo purposes only?
Why not get the retail and get rid of issues. If u bought it then you should be getting a retail/production phone than demo UNLESS you paid it for less ... Lol

Yes I bought it for 1/3 the price of the normal phone, and I don't need the phone features. I am asking how I can completely remove the demo software. I prefer someone who already owns it and has tried it, to answer.
I've bought the same. mine is clearly removed from display because it's had a bash. So I think it shouldn't be a problem.
I've been trying for the last couple of hours. Can you get yours to be recognised by odin? I couldn't at all.
I turned developer mode on to use adb sideload but it has been no use. the device says everything has the wrong footer and validation denied.
what else do you have besides 5444? That's the first I've heard of that.
Hey Quarzar, the other password needed to turn disable factory reset off is M729Q16K8546, after you've entered 5444 to enter the Samsung Retial software. But even after factory reset I'm stuck with the demo software. I haven't tried Odin, will have a look. I don't want to flash something and risk bricking it.
Quatzar can you try something? Can you try installing 3DMark and run the ice storm unlimited benchmark on your demo unit and tell me what you get?
I would love to but I went looking for what you'd used. found the factory reset code. wiped.
signed in including the fingerprint thing. Samsung installed a software update even though I didn't sign in for samsung. wouldn't let me cancel it. It auto rebooted. Now I can't unlock the damn thing. It knows it should check for thumb prints. won't do it. There is a backup password thing but it won't let me use it.... I'm locked out.
It might be deliberate.
Darn that is annoying, so glad I never tried the fingerprint thing now. It auto installed two updates for me as well without asking me
Easy easy dude
Hi, look its very simple!
You have to ROOT your device, then istall Titanium Backup on it and the open up the Programm and through its options you can UNINSTALL anything you want, even the retail software! Thats it:good:

Ok back awake now.
If anybody gets locked out, just use android device manager in a browser and wipe the device.
If you download this.
https://download.chainfire.eu/733/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.zip
Extract it. There is a copy of Odin in there and the file you need to flash with Odin.
Run Odin. The window will open....
Shutdown the demo unit. Then hold down down+home+power until the logo "demo unit" etc comes on.
It will go into the warning page. Press up to put it in download mode.
Connect your computer to the unit with the USB.
But my guess is of yours is the same as mine Odin won't recognise the unit.
Does Odin show a blue/green bar?
Does text come up in the message window?
If it does find the zip file that came along with Odin inside the original file I linked. Put it in the box that says PDA (or its PA now I think from memory they relabelled it.)
Press start.
I bet it doesn't work and nothing will change.

Please can you show me how to root it in baby steps? The most important thing is, have you done it yourself on a galaxy s6 demo unit? I don't want to follow a procedure for the normal s6 and then end up bricking my device.

Extract it. There is a copy of Odin in there and the file you need to flash with Odin.
Run Odin. The window will open....
Shutdown the demo unit. Then hold down down+home+power until the logo "demo unit" etc comes on.
It will go into the warning page. Press up to put it in download mode.
Connect your computer to the unit with the USB.
But my guess is of yours is the same as mine Odin won't recognise the unit.
Does Odin show a blue/green bar?
Does text come up in the message window?
If it does find the zip file that came along with Odin inside the original file I linked. Put it in the box that says PDA (or its PA now I think from memory they relabelled it.)
Press start.
I bet it doesn't work and nothing will change.

Hi Quatzar, yes Odin recognises it I think. It says 'added!!' and the blue bar under ID:COM. When I plugged the S6 in at first it did have to download 'Serial Gadget' update and Samsung something. But I don't want to flash anything until someone else has already tried it and succeeded, in case it ends up going wrong.

There is getting to be quite a bit of information to look through when looking for tip/solutions related to the new Joying 2GB / Sofia units. Since this is not a MTCB or MTCD unit, the threads seem to be scattered all over and very difficult to find in searching. I have seen roll-up threads for other units, that contain information such as ROMS available, tips, tricks and useful information. Kind of a "one stop shop" for the newer Joying HUs. If you have useful software, mod, tips, customization's, get something to work, etc please post here and I can include.
CPU Information - Rockchip Sofia x64 C3230RK / mali 450 GPU / Up to 1.2Ghz / 4 core / FYT5009 SoM - rated to run at up to 85C. My particular is unit clocked at 1.04Ghz.

Android 5.1 Discussion about the Feb 22, 2017/March 5, 2017/March 15, 2017 updates:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-units/joying-intel-update-feb-22nd-t3561285
People have experienced issues with the Joying Launcher (UI3) after the update. This seems related to having other packages (google voice search ) installed prior to installing the ROM. Install time 25-35 minutes.
Recovery from non-bootable system - Without being able to access recovery, about the only solution is to reload the ROM package. Unzip ROM to SD card or USB stick, put in unit (GPS Maps slot, if using SD card ) and press the 'recessed' reset button. The unit should find the update and reload the ROM. This will wipe your data, but does leave the apps. If you use titanium backup, and have a backup, you can restore your data fairly easily. See blog article above for step by step instructions.
Root - Unit comes with root accessible in adb. SuperSU can be installed easily. There are 2 methods for installing superSU. The first method is an overwrite of the boot partition with a pre-rooted image. Problem here is if future upgrade makes boot partition changes, this method will overwrite with an older version. I recommend method 2, which modifies the existing boot partition ( need source so I can provide credit ).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69648860&postcount=84&nocache=1&z=8361786322568856 (over-writes boot partition / may not work on Joying Feb update )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4qmTV7N4JliSjZMdGg3Z18wbkU/view?usp=sharing ( modifies existing boot partition )
OS & Google Apps - Android 5.1.1 ASOP based w/ pico installation of google applications. Voice actions are supported with installation of 'Google App' from play store. No support for google search talk back.
Recovery- A recovery partition is present but does not have any type of graphical UI. It does look like a complete stock android ( command line ) recovery, but no access using USB is available. It maybe be possible using PC-PC OTG cable.
SD Cards - I have not heard of any sdcard size limitations, up to 200GB have been reported to work. Must be formatted as FAT32. NTFS, exFAT, and ext3/4 do not work. You can format a USB stick with ext4 and it will work fine.
Google Voice Calling - Stock BT dialer crashes when being called from google applications ( such as google voice search ). Workaround is available.

Apps not working after resume - The joying code will kill most applications when going into standby. This is really bad for apps that are supposed to be run at boot and background process, as they are not restarted when exiting standby. Symptoms include, widgets not updating, apps not getting GPS lock, process show running but background services are no longer running. This can be fixed by installing an updated apk file in /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0 which removes the task killer. Also the key/button mods V2+ (below) will remove the task killer.

Phone/Tablet view on apps - No app needed - Change from 160dpi -> 161dpi gives "phone" view of many apps instead of "tablet" with no noticeable size change to other things. Done via adb. Requires reboot to take effect.
> wm density 161 # ( phone mode apps )

Yes this is really needed. A FAQ with overview links and tips in just one post
Some people mentioned it was possible to boot into a restore function from a memory card with the update zip. If true, do we know what the exact process is? Any keys need to be held down?
Update, verified this procedure works:
sonof said:
I did recover from endless Android logo (resulting from trying to root with Joying HU root.zip found in this thread).
I did the following:
Put latest Joying update files to microSD card and insert it to GPS slot. Press and hold both reset and power buttons. Once it boots continue holding reset button.
This lead to automatic install of Joying update files and my HU was back alive but I hate the Joying company for not providing means to enter recovery and a complete ROM.
Edit: For me it did not ask if I want to update or not. It just began updating automatically. In contradict to the post above. But I was unable to boot to Android when I tried this.

My VW has reverse parking sensors. Does it not support those?
Just installed this unit. Speedwise it's night and day compared to my old Erisin (1gb 3188). Display is nice and crisp. Bit of a fiddle getting it mounted because of all the crap that needs to be stuffed behind it, but after some swearing and elbow grease I got it secured.
From the instructions, I cut an orange wire because I don't have a backup camera. I do however have optical parking sensors. On my Erisin this was supported (it showed a car model and visual indicators on screen). This unit doesn't appear to have this function. Can anyone confirm? I still get the beep from the speakers, so it's not really a big issue, but would be nice to know.

anotheruserx said:
I'd like to work on this one.
But I have two questions;
1) did you manage to get any logs of how it failed?
2) When you made it unbootable, what was the exact procedure you used to recover the unit?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I didn't get any logs, as I couldn't connect to it until I reloaded the ROM. If I was able to make a USB connection, at least I could have looked at the logcat.
Procedure to recover: Insert USB drive with ROM, push recessed reset button, wait 30m for ROM to install, set up apps again. I have this procedure down pretty good. - The joys of playing with the system partition without USB access or recovery tools.

Actually, it turns out it does, however only when there's an obstacle (hopefully we can change this). Yesterday I only tested while stationary. Today I used it while driving, and noticed that whenever the sensor picked something up, the unit does actually display the sensors. It feels next to useless for me when it only shows on beeps, but at least we know it's there.
Well, that is the way my discarded Newsmy worked. Takes getting used to, but you then again you don't really need confirmation that "nothing" is in your way
Will need to think about this then, thank you.. Cant make up if I want this or the Ownice C500.

After updating to the January firmware parking sensors are gone completely.
edit: enabling "radar" is the solution
Installed supersu (like described in this thread) yesterday and updated it from the play store. Worked fine.
Then I installed Viper4android, also from the store. I didn't expect it to work, but it does! Driver installed, and after a reboot it does exactly what it's supposed to.
Also installed Nova Launcher and set as default home. No issues with that so far. I have not frozen or uninstalled any of the original launchers.
On my Joying unit 130N2 (8 inch unit for VW) the backlight on the display does not work when it is cold. We had minus 8 degrees centigrade here and it took more than 10 minutes before the backlight came on. The radio is playing music and it is actually possible to change channel as long as you know where to touch the monitor. Today it was 5 degrees and it took only about 3 seconds before the backlight came on. I wrote Joying about it and they confirmed to me that there was an issue with 8 inch models for VW. They told me that they were working on a completely new firmware that would fix the problem. I told them that to me it seemed to be a hardware problem and how they wanted to fix that with a software. Their answer of course "No worry my friend ......". I told them that I wanted to return the radio because a radio that doesn't work when it is cold is useless to me. They told me that I would have to send it to China so that their engineers could investigate the problem. I then told them that I had bought it from a German website and it was delivered to me from Germany so if their wanted it to be sent to China then they would have to pay me for it - in advance. They told me that their warehouse in Germany did not accept any returns so it was impossible for me to return it. Then I opened a case with Paypal for selling defective merchandise. Then suddenly their warehouse in Germany was accepting returns. I had put this text also on the Joying Forum, but of course they deleted it. So when dealing with Joying and in case you have problems my advice is to be very tough on them otherwise they will BS you.

I have the same problem on the same unit. With the car headlights off, backlight is dim when it's cold, but gets brighter when it has time to warm up. And when the headlights are on, the backlight isn't on at all until it warms up.
I thought about writing Joying about it but I expected the kind of response you got. Plus, I've had my unit for a few months already so a PayPal claim isn't an option. Please let us know if you hear anything else about it from Joying.
Hi Joshnat,
Yes we have the same problem. Sometimes I can get mine to light up by turning the headlights on and off a couple of times. Are you sure that you cant make a Paypal claim? As far as I know you have 180 days.
Anyway, you should write to them and let them know that you know that many others have this problem.
Regards
Kurt

You may have a faulty screen, my first one did something similar and wasn't very responsive to touches. I returned and my second unit was like night and day with how much better it looked and worked.
Has anyone got a factory backup camera to work? I have a 2015 Camry and right now I have the older Pumpkin rk3066 and the place that installed it hooked up the factory backup camera. I got my new Joying hu yesterday and am going to install tomorrow myself. I'm really hoping I can use my factory camera with this head unit also.

I have the same car and HU, my oem backup carmera works. I bought a harness on Amazon including backup camera, USB, and aux in.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BM3QGCO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Quick tip:
You can adjust backup camera brightness, saturation and contrast by touching the screen while backup camera is on.
Is there a trick to putting in the sd cards? Mine won't click in so it won't mount.
Edit: Forget it i just had to get the edge of a screwdriver and push it in. Had me worried for a minute.

Within the zip there is a file with instructions - HOWTO.txt
How-To install:
1. You need a Windows PC that is connected to the same WiFi network as your HU.
2. Unzip the attached file somewhere to your disk.
3. Run CMD.exe as Administrator
4. Change directory to the folder that you unzipped.
5. Run the install.bat script with an IP address of your HU as a parameter:
C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\Joying_JY-UL135N2_SuperSU> install.bat 192.168.123.137
6. Wait until script finishes and reboot your Head Unit.
7. DONE!
You should now have the SuperSU application working.
Hello
Last week i got some problems with my H96 MAX Android Box.
While turning on the box, its goin into a loading loop. The logo appears, than the start screen and if i press any function, the box was restarting.
Strange is, that i didnt install something since last usage.
I decided to use the Reset button throu AV Port, holding it about 30 sec.
Now the box wont start anymore, no power button is active, cant turn on via remote control, only the light at SPDIF Port is working.
Any suggestions what i can do with this box? Another reset didnt help out.
I also didnt root or flash the box with custom stuff, it was just out of the box with android 7.1.2., ordered at gearbest.
Thank you,
Steve
Hi,
Did you solve your problem? If you solve, please help me. [email protected]
Just bought a H96 Max 4K 64GB most things are working except the google play, will come up but wont allow sign in or go any further, so I can't get a couple apps I need to download, how or what do I need to do to get the google play working to get the apps I need to download??? Thanks
Maybe this will help. I contacted seller for the firmware this was his response:
dear friend
the h96 max 4+32 and 4+64 are use the same firmware
you can have a try
thanks
The zip includes also the Factorytool, driverassistand video and the .img

@ SteveStevsen @ odeon_tr which H96 Max do you mean?? The cheap one based on RK3328 or the (better) "expensive" one based on RK3399? @arcadeplante64 guess you also have the RK3399 version.
I have the same problem; tried to install Google Play 7.?.? it opens up but does not update nor install because of incompatible Google Play Services. ;-( @TjeerdKanthooi10110 your solution is for the cheapo RK3328 version.

idd it is the cheapo version, Im still modding it to fully clean NO GOOLE dependencies. So quite the opposite of the problem your facing
For this box:
H96 MAX Plus 4GB Ram 32GB Rom Smart Android 8.1 TV Box Rockchip RK3328 4K USB3.0 BT4.0 2.4G 5G Wifi
Tried to flash LibreElec but had to many side issues no vpn, eternal loop when installing addons and the (over)heating problem android or libreelec both have this problem.
F-droid open source app market.
Or
Download the apps you need with other device and pull/ export those with ex. Dev Tools Pro. then install on the H96
My opinion all the cheap boxes are really a waste of money and time, ive now 4 boxes still not statisfied.
@Tjeerd* The RK3399 version is a much much better one!! Strange though that the RK3328 has waaay more firmware versions up to Android 8.1
https://androidpctv.com/rom-h96-max-plus-firmware/
@arcadeplante I have succeeded in reflashing old firmware. The Google Play Services version is 15.0.90 and
Google Play Store has version 13.9.17-all [0][PR]236777123
You can instal the latter manually.
True, but to find the firmware is still a pain in the @$$. 9 out of 10 are fail to succeed and you end up your device bricked. No lights no response even nand or emmc shortout trick fails.
My next step will not be buying a cheap / china box but:
