I don't think I could've make the title any blander really could I?
So, to the issue.
I've had a hefty prowl around the forum and i've found threads that hint at the information I need (i.e. Letting me know the information exists), but not one thread that actually answers my question.
So without further ado, here it is:
How exactly did the 'nand' block association for CWM recovery change between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4?
I ask because my tablet ran 'Christian Troy's A10 CWM 6.0.1.2' perfectly on 4.0.3, but when i upgraded to my manufacturer's new 4.0.4 rom, it suddenly didn't work. That's not to say that the install-recovery.sh stopped working, but that after applying it, a reboot automatically brought me into recovery, even if I wasn't holding down Vol+. Then, after exiting, the unit stopped loading, and wouldn't even go back into CWM. Effectively, the unit seemed 'bricked'.
I resurrected the unit using Livesuit, and tried multiple other applications, and CWM versions to no joy, and then I found a thread detailing that the dev/block/nandg was no longer valid on 4.0.4, and this is why flashing CWM was causing the unit not to boot.
However, nowhere have I found which block to change it to, or what other developers have had to do to get CWM to work stably on 4.0.4.
Any ideas?
My device's specs are as follows:
Sumvision Astroplus (Astro+) 7 inch tablet.
Stock ROM Android 4.0.4
Arm A8 1.2Ghx Processor
Mali 400 GPU
The unit is known by the following names, but I'm sure there are many more:
Ployer Momo 9
Funbook
IVIEW 760TPC
Does anyone have an idea at all?

Edit : This post was about Coby Kyros 8024 , but recently Kernel Dev. NamKo over at slatedroid has pushed an alpha kernel that is for herotab c8 but happens to work slighty on Coby Kyros 1024.Using official source from urbetter..The kernel is not perfect but it allows us to use CM9 and ICS 4.04 on this tablet. There are many things not working but hoping to attract people with more knowledge to help out

mid8024 firmware
did anyone actually use this. my mid1024 was semi-bricked, so i decided to try this. the manual also specified 1024, so what the hell.
The process was pretty smooth, but upon boot the screen (logo) was all messed up, it made it to the desktop and all i could make out was the time.
tried several times, zipped, unzippped. it accepted the procedure, but for the worst.
pretty bad. device will be going back to where it came from anyhow.

I hope you got your deviced fixed,but the 8024 and 1024 are different The 1024 is capacitive screen while 8024 and 7024 have resistive screen.. Coby has released firmwares for the 7024,8024 and 1024. Also the update only fix devices which were soft bricked and had white screen of death...They do not update the android os

Disclaimer. This is not my work. This is CM-9 ported by SMDKV210 with NAMKO's Kernel(4/22/2012)
Flash this at your own risk. I take NO Responsibility for Bricking Your Device.
This rom is a work in progress. There are numerous things not working, because the kernel is not directly made for Coby Tablets.
This thread is to post your findings and possibly to help get a Kernel thats made for our tablets.
To flash this rom. Prepare a clean fat 32 formatted sdcard.This will format your internal Sdcard and erase your tablet contents.
Press and hold Home center button and Power Button,simultaneously, release when you see mid upgrade in progress. Do not press any buttons or attempt to power off your tablet. Let it up grade your software and it will shutdown when its done.
TESTED ON 1024N board Not sure if this will work on any other device. This kernel did not boot on my 8024 but I haven't tried with the new OS.
On first boot (well every boot) Kernel panics right away(The black penguin) and sometimes the display is snowy or has a faded effect. Just wait and the bootanimation will start. After tablet boots up There you are CM-9 on Coby Kyros 1024.
I suggest you restart tablet after first boot. I am just an end user like most of you I will help in any way possible. I am not a developer I made this so that others would be able to see and help with the development.
Home button works. Soft buttons do not work and I haven't figured out how to kill the lights

Performance is fine
USB
Camera
Axis Rotation
Wifi Connection
HDMI ?
The kernel is made for a different device so things written on the kernel level are not communicated to the os.
You have to enter your wifi settigs manually to connect, turning off wifi shuts tablet down. Camera does not work but someone found sources so kernel dev maybe able to incorporate them soon.
I get over 10 hours of battery without use maybe 6 hours when I am using but there are no tweaks added other than reducing wifi scan in the build prop.
Vernox701 hello, is there any other site that I can follow the development step by step ROM compatible with Kyros 1024?
Do you have any prediction for a new release?

Hi everyone. I have purchased a 7" chinese tablet from ebay, with android 4.0.4.
The specs: Proc Allwinner A10 1,2 GHz, 1GB RAM, Resistive 5 point tutchscreen, 8GB SDCARD and 16GB EXTSD.
Last day i have rooted it with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 script from here. After installing busybox i have rebooted the device, then everything got stuck.and the tutch
When rebooter it startup in the factory settings, every changes i made will lost after reboot / poweroff, and i can`t install any app cuz it show me i have no free memory, but i know its about 6GB free.
After this i have installed another chinese rom, and now my tablet is stuck. I have the same problems, and the tutchscreen no`t work
Any chance to get this tablet alive? It is new :crying:
Any luck on this tab with root of app s???
i have a Ployer Momo9 which is the same as an IVIEW tablet and i had similar problems to you. i tried MANY firmwares and the best one and the one that works the best is the Cyanogenmod 10 which has some patch files depending on the tablet you have. it had the patch for ployer momo 9 and so i installed it. tablet is much faster but still freezes sometimes due to the tablet being a cheap tablet. some tablets are just too cheap and are not well designed. for example, my momo 9 has a problem with the touchscreen, it isnt grounded properly. only a new tablet can solve that manufacturing problem. the custom rom helped a lot, but its not perfect.
Hey gang, I got this Flytouch 8 tablet last week, model number is BC1003, android version 4.0.4, baseband version 1.5rc4, kernel version 3.0.8+ [email protected] #68 Sat Dec 8 08:54:36 CST 2012, build number crane_bc1003-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121217 test-keys.
I've tried several options to load the recovery partition, only way I can access the recovery is through the backup and reset menu in settings, if I try to do it with the device powered off and holding the menu and power it just boots normal. I've tried a number of options home+power, vol up or down + home, none work. When I do get into the recovery, I cannot scroll through the options only thing there is the android robot with a red triangle and an exclamtion point.
Recovery version says android system recovery 3e EVB-V13.
I also cant get the sd card to mount. I've tried refromatting it with fat32, fat16, ext3 ext4. everything I get a message saying sd card damaged. I've tried 3 different card and same thing.
Any ideas XDA friends? I would like to put a custom rom like AOSP or CM9 or CM10 on it and clockwork recovery if that is an option. I've searched the net high and low for roms, I find many for other Flytouch tablets, but not Flytouch 8. This is the allwinner A10 processor in this one.
Thanks for your help friends.
I
Same problem her with a rooted FT 8 (same as yours)
.
After reboot i get sd card damage error.. after give this da RW i can mount this card again in settings/ storage.
After a reboot i get alway the error sd card damage....
I can get CWM 6.02 on this flytouch but didn`t get any custum roms or CWM backup installed...so get back tio basic image file with Livesuite.
have same recovery : recovery 3e EVB-V13 but cannot do anything with it. It don`t react with all the combination button on my flytouch.
Hopefully you can?
Same problem her with my fluytouch 8 32GB any halp pleas.
Recovery menu
hi
I've got the same tablet from china, am stuck at same spot as you are all, but I figured out how to move through menu in recovery, use usb mouse or keyboard.... any news on some custom rom and installation on this lousy tablet would be appreciated......
Solved Recovery Issue.
Hey everyone. I found this thread today, I tried it and it works perfectly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189640
I also read somewhere that Allwinner A10 and A13 cannot be flashed using stock recovery, you must use a program like Livesuit to flash firmwares. You can flash custom roms using CWM once it's installed on your device.

thanks man, this is good news, first step forward in cracking this damn slow tablet....now we need decent rom to install, any ideas?
Possible bricked BC1003..
Hi there I've got the exact same tablet with you BC1003 Model Flytouch Allwinner A10 Superpad 8 1GB Ram version running Android 4.0.4 stock.
So after following guides and researching a lot I ended up trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean.
I got CWM 6.02 installed fine. So I started the flash process.
Firstly I backed up my stuff and then I did a wipe data / factory reset.
Then proceeded and installed the latest possible rom version which I found to be : AOKP JB 4.1.2 ALLWINNER A10.zip
So I installed that one and the process went fine.
Then I installed this compatibility pack : t05a-v3_compatibility_1.2.0.zip
It also went fine.
Then I installed this google apps pack : gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
And it also installed normally.
So I was ready to reboot my tablet and so I did.
It turned off and then on again and here we are :
I now notice the screen turn on but it never shows anything..
Before flashing it it would turn on and show the Android OEM screen, then show the android loading text and then turn off and on and show the locked screen which I had to unlock and enter my desktop.
I notice that the screen light follows that pattern so the system is running normally only I don't get to actually see anything on it.
Now I'm kinda stuck here.. I've installed LiveSuite but when I try to install the recovery.img I have from my backup it says invalid image..
Have I bricked it or is there a way out of this mess?
Actually it's not entirely bricked.. well I finally got it to work with LiveSuit 1.09 and managed to flash its firmware to a couple more roms.
1. sun4i_crane_t05a_20120409.img -> Ends up showing some messy stuff on the screen. Looks like the resolution is not correct.
2. sun4i_crane_futekoA90universal_20120531.img -> Shows lots of white stuff and colors switching jelly-like.. But still it doesn't work.
3. TAB360-364_Android_411_Jelly_Bean.img -> This is the official A10 Jelly Bean firmware for Yarvik TAB364 GoTab Gravity 8".. No wonder I still got back to the blank screen issue. I only notice the back light turn on and off following the pattern of normal functionality, only I'm not able to actually see it..
Well, at least I'm still able to keep flashing roms to it.. Any ideas?
I can't even find my stock rom to turn back to 4.0.4. Where exactly is it located in my recovery-mode backup?
Btw, in case it plays any part my tablet is 10.2''.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT : Finally I figured it out! My correct stock rom is : sun4i_crane_bc1003.img
I found it through google and after flashing to it I managed to get my tablet at a working state. (ICS 4.0.4 ICS 4.0.3)
So, I'll now try to use more Jelly Bean roms without worrying about bricking it.
Oh, something I noticed that might help others too.. even though on the packaging it says Flytouch Superpad 8 Allwinner A10 this tablet model (BC1003) is actually the Flytouch Superpad 7 and that helped me find my correct rom. Keep that in mind from now on. I'll keep you updated if I succeed in booting to Jelly Bean.
Finally some success..
Well, I finally have some interesting updates on the subject.
I managed to get Jelly Bean to work (Versions 4.1.2 and 4.1.1) on my BC1003 tablet without a compatibility pack (still none has worked for me).
Details on 4.1.2 Version :
Rom File Name : AOKP-4.1.2-3.0.52-Revb.zip
System running smoothly with wifi working fine.
Sound is fine and no crashes occurred.
Touchscreen, screen rotation and camera do not work.
I noticed that I can't browse to my external sd card.. it doesn't seem to get mounted.
Details on 4.1.1 Version :
Rom File Name : cm10_a10_20120913.zip
System running extremely smooth with wifi working fine.
Sound is fine and I experienced no crashes.
Touchscreen, screen rotation and camera do not work.
Also could not mount my external sd card.
Important bug noticed : When I try to change the brightness of my tablet's screen it enters suspended mode no matter what I do and is not fixable. I had to reflash the rom to recover from that state.
I think most of the problems would go away if I found a compatible jelly bean compatibility pack for this tablet.
If anyone has any clue please let me know.
So far I've tried these with no luck :
t05a-v3_compatibility_1.2.0.zip
t05a-unk_compatibility_1.2.0.zip
907c_compatibility_1.2.0.zip
By the way the BC1003 ICS rom that I found to be working was actually not my manufacturer's and it was version 4.0.3 instead of 4.0.4 that my original one was.
So, @fldave612 if it's possible could you please backup and upload yours somewhere so that I can also have it?
EDIT: Actually I figured out that I had kept a good backup form my ICS 4.0.4 using clockwork backup/restore and switched back to that for now.
But I've kept a backup of my Jelly Bean installation too so it's very easy to switch to that now. I'll try again once we get a compatibility pack working.
I feel we're very close to completely upgrading to Jelly Bean now on this tablet. We only need a working compatibility pack.
How did you succeed to install these ROMs, I tried both, installation went OK, but after reboot, only black screen......

I just installed them without a compatibility pack. It's not the jelly bean build that fails.. it's just the compatibility pack.
I researched it a bit and starting to look for a compatibility pack that works on very similar tablets (10.2'' - 1024 x 600 - 1GB Ram).
I found some, and got it to boot without a blank screen. Some showed messy colors others seemed to be working fine but still no touch..
So until we get one working on our specific precious tablet, we're kinda stuck here..
The 4.1.2 version seemed to be working fine but without touchscreen it's pretty much useless.
We could live without a camera or screen rotation, but not without touchscreen..
I even figured out that I could browse to the external sd card by going to root and then storage folder.. instead of mnt..
Actually now I'm stuck with ICS 4.0.3 since the original backup I kept proved to not be working fine.. it kept on crashing all the time..
So if someone has the original BC1003 ICS 4.0.4 that came from the manufacturer please upload it somewhere and post a link here.
Also if someone works on it to create a touchscreen driver for the world would become more beautiful..
Go to this link: http://www.maixin-china.com/software-download.asp Scroll down about half way and go to the link for "MaPan F10B (Cortex A8 Flytouch 6 and Flytouch 8) Software". I used the newest one 11-28.
This is a firmware is the one for this tablet. Use Livesuit to flash it, it will restore the tablet back to 4.0.4 factory.
It is virtually impossible to brick an A10 tablet from what I'm reading because it can be flashed via usb and have to boot loader re-imaged.
This link is very helpful to flash via Livesuit: http://elinux.org/Hack_A10_devices
Hope this helps you all as much as it did for me. Hopefully in the near future some developers will build a CM10 or higher version that will work on this tablet, until then I'll use this rom with Clockwork recovery mod.
Moin @all
Ich have chrashed my tab too but the download link is dead.
Any ideas where ich can load the file ?
Sorry for my ****ty bad English :silly:

I've also got this tablet (BC1003) - thank you for all the useful information posted on this thread so far.
If I've understood correctly, it's possible to install custom firmware using LiveSuite but at the moment none of them fully support this tablet - is that right?
At the very least I'm looking for a way to increase the size of the internal memory partition - the stock partition table has this unnecessary virtual sdcard partition taking most of the 2GB internal memory...
i have one of these damn slow tablets
i watched a vid on youtube about how to remove the internal sd card it is so simple to do it only take like 3 mins and 7 screws ive done this and put a 16gb card in there
i cant post a link but heres the name of the vid "Flytouch 5 / Superpad 6 V10 - Disassembly - Access to internal TF"
it is not the same tablet but is pretty much the same
Tip use a knife to pop the caps off the outside i found this easier
try not to stab yourself.
thanks if i helped you out
noob
okay so i tried to install a new rom on my allwinner a10 bc1003 and ended up only booting a black screen i dont know what im doing as this is my first tablet an very little computer knolage but im interested i had seen in a post he used livesuit to flash the new rom.... i dont understand how that works if anyone could sit down and teach me that would be apriciated

okay im sitting at this point but i dont understand the flashing with livesuit
With the Windows utility "Phoenix Card" it is possible to burn the MaPan image mentioned above to a micro SD card. After inserting the micro SD card into the tablet and booting up the image will be flashed onto the tablet, indicated by a progress bar and a ticking sound.This works for our tablet, and should work for firmware for several Allwinner A10 and A20 tablets plus some other processor families (vimicro?).
where can i get Windows utility "Phoenix Card"
cant find 1 that works the inside says Yones toptech BC 1003 all winers A10

hi ... i have a Yones toptech BC 1003 all winers A10 (superpad 8 / flaytouch) that im trying to fix...
after 3 days trying every possible firmware, and booting them from external sd card
all i could do was change de logo at boot start from (mapan to kosaco, to oem etc..)
than i had the idea of removing the internal sd card to look at it ...
and guess what it still runs the same with out no sd card in or out
so i thought ... the sd card was never read in the first place cause is damage or corrupted...
so on the 4th day im trying to format and partition the new internal sd card... hoping for the best.
so...
is the firmware installed in a built in memory ??
and how do i format the internall card TF card , and install all the software again
Problems with CWM v6.0.2.8
Sorry to interrupt people, but I'm quite new at this and I guess I made a mess....
I have a Flytouch Superpad VIII with A10 inside (BC1003), which is bricked.
Don't ask me how I got it this way, I guess **** happens.
Downloaded and installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.8 only to find that on the log it cannot mount...
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache recovery/last log
My idea is that I probably used the wrong version of CWM, but if not the case, please tell me.
Anybody know a fix on this?
I've already intalled ADB drivers on my PC and at least I can communicate with my device using ADB.
Any help on unblocking the device and then flashing it would be greatly appreciated
Hi
I made this post below, but didn't get a reply, so I'm not sure if I'm making it in the right area, or if it isn't being seen, or just no solutions. Anyway, here it is again!
Hello guys
I have an HP 10 tablet(similair to slate 7) running 4.4.2. It is rooted, but it hasn't updated due to the ota not recognizing the root scripts. I wanted to update to lollipop(Android 5), but couldn't find specific roms for may model. I saw some HP touch stuff though, but not sure if that would work. This tablet is a quad core 1.2ghz, ARM v7 processor rev 3 (v71). Since rooting, it no longer keeps its state, and if it goes dead, is turned off, or reboots, it defaults back to factory settings, and I have to start all over with installing my back up (via titanium). It is time to update and make it more stable. any help?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Since 5.x OTA's will fail on rooted devices. I'm not sure if this is the right forum but see if anyone can help you here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad
I have an old Zeki TB782B FID:BN 7" tablet that I haven't used for a while. My son recently decided he wanted a cheap tablet, so I thought I'd give him this one. (Before I set the Zeki aside for a new Samsung Tab S 8.4, it was working fine, but it was just too slow for my liking.) I plugged the Zeki up to charge, and after a while, I turned it on. It displayed the ZEKI splash screen then the ANDROID screen, but after several minutes it got no further. I tried several things, but eventually, it wouldn't even get past the ZEKI splash screen. Then I tried to reset the tablet to the factory settings, but that didn't help.
I searched several places, including the xda Developers Forum, and I found several threads on flashing the tablet. So I tried to update the system (which would have now been at Android 4.0.3 if the factory reset had worked) to Android 4.0.4 using a microSD card - The 4.0.4 update seemed to work, but after resetting the tablet, it still refused to get past the ZEKI splash screen.
One of the threads in the forum on this site (How to Flash Zeki TB782B, TB1082B Rom with Livesuit) gave instructions on flashing a new ROM using Live Suite (and another one that used Phoenix Suit). I downloaded and installed both of these ROM flash programs, but I cannot find the stock (or a custom) ROM for this particular model. One xda thread contained links to ROMs for various Zeki's, including my model, but none of the links work - They say that the ROM files have been deleted.
I also looked on the Zeki web site for help, but they don't provide anything about their firmware.
I did find image files for "Allwinner A10 Stock Firmware" and for "A721 Mainboard Firmware Version 4.2.0" on another site - Each of these contain an img file that might be what I need, but I'm not sure if they would work with this tablet - The Zeki TB782B uses an Allwinner A10 chip, but I'm not sure what the actual chipset is. And I have opened the tablet and looked at the motherboard, but other than verifying the CPU chip, I'm unable to see much more. Therefore, I'm afraid I would brick the tablet if I flash it with one of those generic Allwinner ROMs.
If anyone has, or can point me to, a stock/custom ROM that will work with this tablet, I would greatly appreciate it.
