Leader i7 tablet root + roms?

This is a nice little tablet and I was wondering if anyone had successfully ported a rom to it yet. From a bit of research, mainly here and here, rooting is defiantly possible with a little finesse.
Besides getting android market and google app bundle to work, it would be great to have a custom rom for this tablet. If anyone is willing to take this on, I'd be more than happy to donate and post a system dump.

Well I have also done some research. The leader i7 tablet goes by another name. IT is apparently some re boxed tablet... lost the name. But stay tuned as i will post it here when i find it. But the reason you wont find roms or tricks for this is because theres another name. Find its root hardware before rebranding and you will find roms

Its other name is the impression 7.

It is an "Infotmic" based MID. Particularly the x210 model.
Listed in the hardware information program i used.
Theoretically its internals are the same and it can be flashed to anything the infotmic x210 tablets have listed on various sites, as the only difference would be the external ports, case and etc for the rebranding.
This is good and makes sense because if you were to mass produce a cheap tablet, you would want the insides to be universal (it saves money) but modular enough to fit into different rebranding schemes. (easily resolder/connect additional or less IO ports on main board)
Spread the word on any forum you find, see if we cant and find some people smart enough to crack open these F***ers

Mele A1000G Mini PC TV Box

I am considering ordering one of these. Mele A1000G
I've been looking for a true Android solution for a set top box, and this seems like a great option. I don't have cable and will rely on this for all my TV needs. Currently, I have a Boxee Box and a Zeki Media Streaming Box, but I am not happy with the Zeki at all and I think the specs on this box look like a great replacement. The Boxee has worked pretty well for a year or so, but it;s starting to be too buggy for me. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with the Mele A1000G, I'd love to hear it.

Me too

I’ve also experienced the crash to AllWinner splash screen with another AllWinner A31 device (CS868) twice. I could only fix it by re-installing the firmware. I think there’s a problem with the way they currently handle the partitions.

I ended up ordering an MK808B instead. I opted for it because it has so much development support. After about a week with it, I was frustrated with the navigation on Netflix and Hulu. So, I returned it and just hooked up an old Gateway Core 2 Duo to my TV. I got this computer recently for $100 with a widescreen monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. So, in the end I ended up spending much less money and as much as I thought I wanted the Android box, the PC is working so much better than any other set top box I've ever used. I'm out of the market for anything new now.

if anyone else is still interested in this box. stay tuned mine is on the way from china. i'll update with a mini review

I bought this box after looking at others, the box has good hardware but the software is not optimized for it. The new firmware is still better but still not fully optimized. Mele need to work more on software, a lot of work is needed.

This TV-Box is completely unstable.
During the first hour of use revealed an inherent bugs. Device hangs and reboots spontaneously. Error messages arising that the application is not responding after each mouse click. LAN port does not work. The new firmware 1.2.5 & 1.2.7 does not solve the problem. The seller refused to bear the shipping fee of return which is expensive. The claim has been resolved, and AliExpress has made a full refund to me with no returning goods.

You spam it everywhere, with same sentences and same "build of text". odd...
So I´m asking anyone else here (in his own words) anyone ordered the box and tested it?

Hm no one got this box? ;(

Bought on of these, can't read Chinese so just about.everything on it is being deleted. Honestly the windows 8 front launcher sucks. Download go launcher from google play. Netflix works as does xbmc for media sharing. Would be cool.to.see a new port for another themed rom. Took it.apart and found a spot that looks likes a.sata port connection. Maybe solder a port in the future and see if I can add.som.extra storage.

How about DTS passthrough and 1080p streaming did you tested it?

I wish this box can work as a miracast receiver, maybe in the future. The main guy at Mele said they have received a new sdk from allwinner and that will hopefully help them to get a better firmware

Mine arrived today, so far so good. What is really, I mean really odd:
BubbleUPNP: Not able to browse QNAP dlna directories
MX Player: Not able to fast forward.
Every other trash "media player or dlna browser" no problem.... That's really really odd...
Videos play nice even my 1080p videos. There is a miracast button, but only to send? Didn't tried it.
Most "that´s sad" thing: DTS-Passthrough ;( Don´t know how to get it work or if it will ever work... Any ideas?
If someone wants to let me check something (short video for example) let me know.
My opinion so far: VERY GOOD BOX! Someone wrote other manufactures try to trash the box, I would say right now: It really looks like that...
Edit: DTS-Passthrough seems to work. Receiver switches from analog to digital DTS when playing DTS content. But Im not quit sure because I live atm in a small room so i can´t play on all 7.1 boxes -_-
Edit2: Never XBMC possible (closed source) or someone signs the NDA and makes a custom XBMC if possible? But I dont know. But that would be awesome! But Plex is also VERY VERY nice and works well

Well ok after around two days with this box:
Never a closed source SoC again Samsung S3 is already a pain in the ass.... now this one. Excellent hardware / price / Speed / power consumption. (thats what die design target of the chip was I think) But it gets useless if no v(ideo) app can draw on this power because they dont open up there hardware decoding for videos.... even the onboard video player is not able to fast forward in video from streams.... what a joke... I really sad because on itselfs it looks nice, behaves nice, only one crash with playOn app which might be the app fault, and speed performance etc looks really well. I would rather keep that box instead of waiting for the minix x7 for another two month or so.... ;(
If anyone got a tip how to get fast forward in mx player for example on a 1080p video from upnp stream I would tryi it...
Aaaaand its gone. Even facebook page is closed now... wow ok...

Yeah noticed the Facebook page is gone! That sucks! We should keep this thread going as this looks like the only community that's legible to English users. The Chinese site has a forum but impossible even after chrome translates the pages. What firmware are your devices running. I've stuck to 1.2.5 didn't want to risk an upgrade and break things that are working

I'm still getting some hang time on my device. Btw it looks like a31 source code is available. Even found a Cwm recovery that sort of works, also can u get droidmote to work on your device? Would be awesome if it did

I got my A1000g 2 days ago. It seems to have a lot of potential but has some bugs hopefully Mele will iron out. I noticed the CPU was clocked at 1ghz so I downloaded Set CPU and raised it to 1.2ghz which seems to run stable, any higher and the box crashes. This also seems to help the hangs which happen a lot. Xbmc has some trouble with HD but is fine on SD. Overall its a nice box which I really hope Mele give a lot of support to and updates to.
PS.I'm having trouble with popcorn player. The edge of the player is off the screen so I can't resize it, it seems to be because the Nav Bar is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this or even get the Nav Bar back?
Sent from my M6 using Tapatalk 4

Well I just filled a send back form out. I will send my meleback and get a refund. The no fast forward and back ward problem is no problem for me ( Use bubble upnp for example) but I can't tell my Girlfriend to to exchange her Blackberry for an Android just to get fast forward in a movie. MX Player said that this problem will persist (even inbuilt player doesn't support fast forward)
My box was / is on 1.27, its really a pitty that I cant get to work. It is really really a nice box. ;( (Damn closed source SoC no one wants to support...)

Yeah, as I wrote, nice box, no crashes just one (Might be the app) but I got the second gen with external wi-fi not internal. So the problems you got might be first gen probs.
The problems I listed are the only problems: 720p+ can´t be fast forwarded on streams. Some players don´t play with hardware encoding (Closed source SoC)
It´s almost funny that closed sourced want open sourced software to sell products and don´t want to "update" there software to use closed sourced hw+ accelaration (MX Player for example)

Where did you get a 2nd gen A1000G with an external antenna?? The only A1000G listed at the MeLE site is this:
http://en.mele.cn/products/show/31.htm
I also got the MeLE A1000G and it's a really bad box. Random factory resets, random freezes and in my box the SD slot is misalligned a bit so you have to force the SD card in. On firmware 1.27 I can't find a XBMC that can play a 720p MKV file without crashing - maybe it will work with an external player, I haven't been able to get that to work yet.
I've been in contact with MeLE directly: Some woman named Susan which seemed very helpfull wrote me that she would send me a new firmware to test. I wrote her back with some more info and then she wrote me that a tech named Issac would contact me. This never happend so I wrote Susan again. Now we start all over and she asks the same info I've gave her once.
When the Facebook page still existed (before MeLE deleted it due to complaints from customers) MeLE promissed most of July that a new firmware would be out before August. That never happend. The last we heard from MeLE was that they got a new codebase from Allwinner with the new SDK and that a firmware would be out in (I think) 4 weeks. Personally I doubt that will happen but time will show.
I also tried contacting DealExtreme where I bought this %#&!# box with the problems. They wrote me back that I should take some pictures of the problems and send them to them - how do you take pictures of random freezes and random resets? I guess I'm stuck with this box and just have to be sad that I lost the money. Too bad - and never buy from MeLE again.
I just ordered a different box which seems to have a new upcoming community and some very skilled people making custom ROMS for it, it can't be worse than the MeLE box

Sorry for my lack of English. I'm not English-speaking, as you might guess from my "build of text". I never said that MeLE produces 100% defective devices. But I have no doubt that MeLE does not control the quality of the output! Otherwise the device I would have bought could not pass QC. A1000G does not have adequate cooling. Overheating of the AllWinner A31 chip reached 95C! Compound near the processor darkened by the action of overheating!

[Q] RCA 7" Android Tablet 4.1.1 root/rom/forum?

I bought an RCA 7" tablet as a manager's substitute for a Xelio which was out of stock at WalMart. Hey, $39 seems like a pretty good deal.
However, there is no mention of this device ANYWHERE, not on the WalMart website... apparently, not even the great Oracle Google has heard of this device. There are some obscure references to google play support. It is NOT the new RCA TV Tablet or the stereo one.
From the device:
1GHz processor
built in 4GB memory
WiFi b/g/n
Google Play Store
0.3 mp forward facing camera (woo hoo)
micro sd support up to 32G
Model number RCT6077W2
Android version 4.1.1 Jellybean
Kernel version 3.0.36+
[email protected]#129
Build number RCT6077W2-Android4.1.1-v1.0.1
I would love to figure out what else is hiding under the hood on this device.
Need help unlocking/tweaking. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum.
I AM A NOOB! First step is admission...

to find out about a little more under the hood you should take a look at CF Bench it will tell ya its secerts. as for tweaking im 99% sure that nobody will develop things for it. 40 bucks for a tablet has to have terrible specs, the best you can do is try to root it. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 good luck mate

Thanks T'zul. Actually the tablet was $80 but I got it for $39 cuz the discontinued Xelio promised was out of stock when I got to Walmart.
I have not been able to locate drivers BECAUSE the tablet is only being released officially next week so I haven't been able to connect for root only to transfer music/photo files.
Yeah, I know that the specs (I listed them above in first post) are lower end but I thought it would be a good toy to learn on/destroy if I wasn't careful.

im sure if you root it you can most likely overclock it and stuff, cheap android tablets like these are always good to start on before you get the big boys that only last a year and then they are outdated. as for the drivers you can try adb and install the android drivers.

Microphone on RCA 7" rct6378w2 Issue
Sorry to change the subject a bit but I am in the correct company, since I have the same tablet bought from Walmart last Black Friday $49. I find the microphone performance very bad. A screeching sound (like feedback) and extremetly low volume on recording using voice recorder or Skype (echo test). Has anyone come accross this issue and got a suggested fix? The tablet is not going to be very functional for video conferencing with this issue. I though i would ask the forum before returning it.
Thanks

Please provide organized instructions for completely exploiting the RCA tablets
Hi I am new here, I got this tablet for christmas and this forum has helped me so much already, because of you wonderful people I have successfully rooted. However after continuing reading I am a little confused on what exactly to do now, can someone please go over unlocking the bootloader, getting clockworkmod recovery or whatever else I need, flashing cyanogenmod for the RCA tablet and any other steps I might not know of? How can I help and where are we all in completely exploiting the RCA tablets? (RCT6077W2 in specific for me) can I get regular drivers instead of that annoying pdanet? would it be possible to flash other ROM's like AOKP and paranoid android or would those lack in support? what do I have to do w/ the android sdk? what apps, launchers,root apps and exploits do you recommend with this device? how can we overclock and make the best out of this crappy device? any tips,cracks,modifications that make this device better? etc. I know it is a lot of questions but any awnsers and help is really appreciated and It would also be really nice if someone made a nice n00b friendly guide on what to do after rooting.

This absolutely a really good questions. As many people bought the 4 or 8GB versions with plans to expand to external SD card; I hope the moderators / seasoned android pros of this forum can provide a detailed explanation how to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance to all that offer some suggestions / solutions towards the SD card front.

I also thank you for the rooting steps. How can I now upgrade the jelly bean from 4.2.2 to 4.3? I have the same model tablet.

My Only Hope.
I thank you for your response, Jeffrie.* But unfortumately, it did not contain any new information for me.* I am beyond a factory reset. Wiping the data and dalvik cache was actually what killed the tablet after I had actually revived it by flashing the RCT6378W2 firmware to the RCT6077W2 tablet. And I only did that because after days of searching, the internet, the RCT6378W2 firmware was the only RCA tablet firmware to be found.* And at first it seemed like it might work, the only obvious issue was the tablet couldn't tell which way was down.* That was doable.* However after a reboot, the wireless functionality stopped completely.* Wireless couldn't even be switched on.* I could send you numerous links to numerous forums where there are several other consumers with the same issue. And as it stands most of those people feel ripped off and very skidish about purchasing any more RCA products.* I am confident, from the way the 8GB tablets firmware helped bring the 4GB one back from the dead,* that the actual RCT6077w2 4GB tablets original firmware ( 1.0.0) would revive several of your tablets as well as the customers satisfaction and faith in your company. And once they were up and connected to the internet, they wouldt be able to update using your OTA server. Word of your companies actually giving a damn and level of support would surely boost sales as well as bring former customers back.

I know how
I rooted my very own RCT6077W2 (same specs and everything) and got it from Wal-Mart. I know how. Download 4Shared from Play Store, create/login to an account, search up "master root", then click the first one and download it. Install it, then open. I know its in a diff language but click the middle button and then when the screen pops up with the buttons, press the one that is not red. Then again. Once the boxes are away, reboot your device and it is rooted. Congratz, you now have root access.

[Q] apps incompatible only on one of two identical devices

For Christmas, I purchased two 7" Nextbook tablets. One went to my wife, and the other to my daughter. Google Play identifies both as "YIFANG NX007HD". My daughter got hers first. I quickly noticed a large number of apps show up as "incompatible with your device" on it. Common apps like Angry Birds, Wal-Mart, & Chrome. (Even though Chrome came installed on the device)
However, when we set up my wife's tablet, all these same apps show up as compatible, and install from Play just fine. I'm hoping to solve this mystery and hopefully get my daughter's tablet to work the same on the Play Store as my wife's. They are (or seem to be) identical after all, there must be a reason.
I don't know if the following has any bearing on the issue, but if so perhaps someone can tell me. We reside in the United States, but my daughter's google account uses an email address with the .in TLD. Her account also has no payment method set up.
If I had had more time with her, I would have liked to have swapped accounts on the two devices to determine for certain whether the issue was account related or device related. But I won't get a chance to troubleshoot until I see her again in the spring. Also, just to be clear, I don't need info on sideloading APKs. I'm just looking for reasons that only one of these two identical tablets would show so many "incompatible with your device" apps on the Play Store, while working fine on the second.

For Christmas, I purchased two 7" Nextbook tablets. One went to my wife, and the other to my daughter. Google Play identifies both as "YIFANG NX007HD". My daughter got hers first. I quickly noticed a large number of apps show up as "incompatible with your device" on it. Common apps like Angry Birds, Wal-Mart, & Chrome. (Even though Chrome came installed on the device)
However, when we set up my wife's tablet, all these same apps show up as compatible, and install from Play just fine. I'm hoping to solve this mystery and hopefully get my daughter's tablet to work the same on the Play Store as my wife's. They are (or seem to be) identical after all, there must be a reason.
I don't know if the following has any bearing on the issue, but if so perhaps someone can tell me. We reside in the United States, but my daughter's google account uses an email address with the .in TLD. Her account also has no payment method set up.

If you're willing to root, xposed has a module that removes that limitation. If not, I think it might be a software glitch. Bring it to the service centre to check it out.

Unfortunately the guys of Yifang / Nextbook / e-Fun are complete ass***holes.
They I've made a couple (or three?) identical devices, M7000 (silver back) / M7002 (black back) & M7000NBD (silver back), with complete different chips, two first driven by RK3066 (1.6Gz) and third one by AML8726-MXS (1.5Gz).
More than that in the site of Nextbook they promote some Nextbook Premium7HD (silver back) and they didn't mention speed processor or chip inside. This device are also branded as NX007HD & NX007HD8G.
From commercial point of view they just released the one they have in stock.
From user point of view a total mess!!! People is mounting Rockchip stuff in AMLogic devices and vice-verse.
Lots of users with their devices bricked... not all the users have the knowledge to notice the internal difference.
The worse part of it is that this device are cheap and really good.
I love Yifang devices... but IMHO this Chinese guys have gone too far doing this chitty tricks.

How to troubleshoot a failed ODIN flash?

Generic android set top box guide(i have a great many questions)

So, I was at Menards a couple weeks back and saw a generic looking android set top box for around 30$, and so I came here, and find there are a few different kinds of chips that they may use, so... my first question is...
What are the differences between those chips, which is the best, and how can you tell before purchasing, what you are buying, as well as how to buy a good one, as in what to look for, to avoid a bad purchase, and what specs to look for
The next question is, once I buy a generic looking set top box,(the one I saw was labeled abx-12 as a model) how easy is it to find roms for them, and will one rom work on them all
To be fair, I do know about phones, but im out of my depths here, but would like to get into set top boxes, and possibly putting custom roms like resurrection remix (my favorite), on them... i would like this thread to eventually be a guide for every set top newbie, such as myself, and this is the best android modding, and well, anything android, website in my opinion... if these answers can be found elsewhere on this site, condensed into a single thread, please link it, else, if you guys can help me and others like me, I would appreciate it...
I edited it with the right model... i put upx 12, when it was abx 12...

Oh... and id also like to know how much android version matters in set top box discussions as well...

Here's the link to the one I saw at Menards...
https://www.menards.com/main/electr...x-and-wi-fi-router/abx-12/p-1518075021952.htm

i just picked this QFX ABX-12 cheapo ATV box at Menards on Clearance for $20.
Pretty much what i expected, pos china thing.
the rom that is on it is ancient android 7.1 from 2018.
update does not work.
came searching here on XDA to see if maybe someone had easy way to root/re-flash this model box and put a decent ATV rom on it, newer os at least.
but, seems no one cares about these cheap china no name boxes.

Hi, you woukd need to find out what SOC is in your box (amlogic,rockchip ect...) and what model (s905x, s905w ect...) or what bootloade (eg p212, p281 ect...)

The QFX ABX-12 uses the Amlogic S905X, has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB flash. At $25 I might grab one just to mess around with.

I picked up a Transpeed_6k from a Chinese supplier for under €30 to play around with an as a stopgap for my dead Humax box. It runs Android 9.0, has 4GB/64GB memory. CPU-Z tells me that the SOC is Allwinner H6 @ 1.49 GHz, with 4 ARM A53 cores. Bootloader is unknown and no root.
The operation is fast, but the navigation is painful - you have to constantly toggle the mouse mode on and off and you can't scroll the screen. I contacted the supplier because the lack of scrolling prevents Netflix from working. The solution was to install a previous version of the Netflix app. It's still awkward to use. BBC iplayer works with limited scrolling which means you have to use the search function to find TV shows.
I also thought of maybe using it as a Chromecast receiver (like my Mi TV stick does), so I installed Allcast Receiver, but it wouldn't work.
I've also tried using a phone as an external mouse, but that too doesn't let you scroll.
That's it. I haven't managed to find any way of changing the ROM or OS. I suppose not many people are spending time on these boxes.
