Hello,
Much to my surprise, my Toshiba Excite 7.7 received Jelly Bean last night.
Version 4.1.1000121313.01
About 360MB
It is a virtually unaltered version of JB. Some Google apps were updated: You Tube, Google Magazines, etc.
The tablet does have a better Quadrant score.
However:
1) The JB "Phablet Mode" is now the default
2) Toshiba did not fix the varying brightness while using the browser issue
3) The Super AMOLED+ screen is still not calibrated very well (look at any B&W picture)
Even so, I am thankful that Toshiba has provided a current update on a tablet that may have been left for dead.
Enjoy! Other major OEMs should really learn from them!
Sent from the zombie world. No they aren't coming yet!
I bought mine a few days ago as a Nexus 7 successor, main reason was the much better and bigger screen and the build quality.
Off course I was very sceptical wrt 4.0 VS. 4.2, especialy because I dont had any small hope that the "Silent Tablet Newby Toshiba" will announce or even release a newer Android Version anytime.
But now, Long Story short: Thumbs Up Toshiba!
Looking forward for an European Release for the "Toshiba AT270 7.7"

I wish there was an option to put 4.1.1 in tablet mode rather than in phone mode; and yo could remove the search bar. Other than that ahven't noticed any issues yet.
Just saw [1] that also the North America "Excite" Variants are using AT270 as model number, which is also used here in Europe.
Does this also mean that the 4.1 Rollout is a global one?? :thumbup:
It yes, anyone found an official document which list the serialnumber groups and the specific Info which one will receive the update message during the next weeks?
HTC released such a list f.e. in the past for their One Series..

Hello,
Would it be possible to create a DUMP of this update in order to update our AT270 ?
Thank you.

If you know how to dump this firmware tell me and I can try to do that.
I caught issue with Excite 7.7 - system booted up and then reboot and every time same thing. Some app cause that, don't know witch one.
So, I switched tablet off, then hold two buttons Volume up and Power, then tablet goes to boot menu where I need to choose recovery mode. After that delete all data and cache and restore clear system (factory reset).
Now there are no hangs up.
AT270 update

Any solution for changing JB phablet mode?
Any solution for changing JB phablet mode and being able to change the dock orientation ?
I was hoping that changing launcher would allow for the dock to change in landscape and in portrait but no such luck
Thanks
Good morning all.
I apologize for my ignorance, but I'm brand new in Android word. I just ordered a gorgeous HTC One and I saw this beautiful Toshiba for an excellent price in a shop where I live (Switzerland). Navigating through the options I saw no update available for the software and the installed version is 4.0.4... years ago. Is there any chance to pass this device to JB? also an unofficial rom will be ok for me. I'm convinced this tool can be significatively better with JB, and moreover, I don't want to buy a not cheap device with a 2 years old software.
Any suggestion?

Sorry for coming back to you after all this time but I have a specific question.
I would like to buy a Toshiba At270: I feel is a great tablet with a great display and the perfect size for me. I prefer it also compared to the Nexus7: more or less same hardware with a better and brighter screen in aluminium chassis.
Anyway I checked a model exposed in a shop trying to update the software and I found no version up to the installed one available. That model is running 4.0.4.
I'm living in switzerland: could be possible no update is availble out of US?
There is another way to get JB running on this tablet or is better for me not to buy it and evaluate a vendor more effective in OTA delivering?
Thanks for the response.

there is no problem, with that, check the switcher near the power button and if it's off check settings.

Still not avaible in Europe / Germany .. and according to Toshiba Europe (eMail from the Mobile Support Team), there are no details avaible if an release will happen
did not arrive yet.
Hi,
I bought a Excite 7.7 recently and it has Android 4.0. As I read your post, and other article from end December 2012, I wanted to update mine as soon as I received it. But the update app, keeps telling no update available.
Do you know how I could get this solved?

Hello,
I don't know how to capture the update. The tablet, to the best of my knowledge, has never been rooted. ICS may have been a better firmware. I think the phablet mode is terrible.

Hi everyone,
I have my eeepad transformer preordered to buy the 32 or 16 GB model, still don't know which one will be the first one...
But, I know that the galaxy tab 10.1 will be upgradeable to android 3.1, and the same happens with the xoom, but, will our future (or current) eeepad transformer see this android version? I'm only saying it because if android 3.1 won't appear on the eeepad, I think the best thing we could do is to buy the galaxy tab
Thanks in advance

Really? who said 3.1 will not be on the Asus???? It will come but we dont have a eta......but yeah if you really need 3.1 then you should get Xoom on Verizon it was launch the other day. Or you could get the tab 10.1 without the sd slot and hdmi port

Yes the GTab is upgradable but when will samsung do it?
Samsung are notoriously slow at upgrading anything!!! plus the GTab has touchwiz which will take more to time for the developers at samsung to get it ready.
If you really want to be negative, maybe google will have an unexpected downturn within the current economic climate and go broke, then all of us will have obsolete devices and we're be forced to buy ipads or windows tablets
I seem to remember reading on another thread that Asus support said that 3.1 would be available on June.
Check this video of the Xoom running HC 3.1
It looks really fast and much more functional.

I think it's possible, but is there any reason? The official update will come in mid June, less than a month left. And it's possible someone will leak it before.

Got a link to that page please? There doesn't seem to be an official Asus Germany or Asus Deutsche anywhere on facebook.
Edit: nevermind just found it... Deutschland...the one word I didnt try. They certainly do reply a lot more often on there it seems.
Mid June for 3.1 is good news. Thanks for the update
juhuuu good news, also in mid June there should be transformer available in Slovakia. So 1 month of waiting to a judgement day for me
Can somone post the new 3.1 browser apk
that great news. Saw a video of 3.1 on xoom, and guy state that his xoom feels much faster then before (UI)
seriously?

The triangle is for when there is an update file detected on the tablet.
Good to see they already have a version they are happy to distribute to regional sales and support teams - means it is stable enough to have internal testing.

Hi,
I would like to install Android ICS on my Yarvik tab 360. Unfortunately the Manufacturer is not planning on bringing an update to ICS I think. But I found an update from Point of view for its 7" and 10" tablet which, due to same hardware i guess, also works with the Yarvik tablets. The problem is that my tablet is an 8" one, so thats not gonna work, I actually tried it and the update succeeded, ICS even starts up, but the screen doesn't respond. My question is now, is it possible to unpack the update image from Point of view and adjust the resolution so it fits 8"? I have no idea so this might be a crazy(noob) question.
Sorry for the long story
Cheers

Greetings,
While I been a tech for 20years supporting the WinTel systems, I am a noob to Android and ROM programming. I needed to be portable, and being unemployed didn't leave many cost-options available. I picked up a China knockoff called the MID M9000 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/330779120701?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649).
What I can confirm on it is that it does run a Cortex A8 (I guess that means it is a AllWinner A10??) running Android ICS 4.04. A look under About Tablet shows Model Number F900, Baseband Version 1.4rc3 Kernel 3.0.8 [email protected] #2 Fir Jul 27 10:27:12 CST 2012 Build Number 20120716-F900.I have some flakiness with the screen, the performance seems poor with alot of waits and do I want to kill the app. I have gone through with Android Assistance and Advanced Task Manager to kill off any background apps, loads, etc. Still no luck.
Funny thing someone dumped in my lap a cheapy Sylvania SYNET7WIC 7" Smartbook with Windows CE 7 this past week. I searched and found you could bootload MODROID (Android 2.2 mod) ROM and I get more responsiveness on that WM8650 CPU than I am getting from this Cortex A8. So I am hoping it is just a bad build, and like the SYNET7WIC be happily surprised with a Mod for my Cortex A8 to improve it as well.
I tried over at CM, but there seems to be no discussion about MID tablets. I found the Christian Troy AllWinner A10 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398) but as I am not a DEV, I can't post to that thread to ask for help. All feedback or assistance is welcome, especially pointing to the right ROM and other parts I should use (I believe I have the right instructions) on how to do my first reimage to Jelly Bean. Thanks!
This seems to be a F900 tab

I think this is a f900 generic chinese tab and a replica of this one http://temtop.en.alibaba.com/produc...13_1_5GHz_Cortex_A8_800_X_480_9_Inch_MID.html
I have the same tab and I was finding it hard to get a stable ROM to replace my factory ROM which had much more serious issues. I used this one on my tab and its been running much better now.

Please note I still face issues with slowness and I need to reboot my tab everytime I play a resource intensive app/ game. I think its more to do with the hardware than with the firmware.

Recently purchased a similar tablet from http://www.agptek.com/New-Android-4.0-MID-7-inch-Capacitive-TouchScreen-Tablet-458-96-1.html. I flashed Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets with the MOMO9 compatibility zip; as the MOMO9 specs are identical to my tablet. Running very smooth, alot faster and more stable than the original ICS 4.0.3.
Where did yuo download the rom flash from? How has it been working for you? Are you still running it on 4.0.3, or are you on 4.0.4 now? I just got a Mid M9000 and kinda regretting it now, but if I can flash it, to a better rom, that would be awesome.
Thanks

Howdy,
Actually I scored instead MaiPan MX913 img file at Maipad dot net . I was reading some reviews because this is a a single core device, and they are now pushing out quad core tablets now, because any attempt with this chipset to do Jelly Bean results in the touch screen stop responding (I have tried three or four already). I think also the problem is how 'low end' the single core is, and is why they are dumping these like crazy.
I have actually seen quite a few posts that some still don't get good ICS response no matter the img file, and so regress back to Froyo with alot of positive results. I dunno if there is a patch with the Froyo to compensate for the changes to Adobe Flash and now the Java scripting changes, if your still not happy with the results from MaiPan.
I was going to sell mine on ebay, but now I might give it a try with the December img at MaiPan and seems to be pretty snappy, but won't replace my laptop where I can open several web pages at the same time I think. I will let you know how the latest image works as I am intending to test this weekend.

Don't waste your time... I downloaded the 12.1 version of the MX913 (not DC), and now have no touch screen response...

Wow. Yes. Maybe. Here is my sad story with a rare happy ending:
I ordered a MID9000 from No More Racks--BIG MISTAKE!--When, a couple of months later, it finally arrived (to my surprise), I set it up and was delighted to find that it actually worked. Up until.....5 weeks later, I left it on the charger overnight and that killed it. It appears these units are susceptible to overcharging. It would not boot past the "android" screen. Well, being an android noob, I was clueless. I finally discovered the Kocaso site that had downloads for the image files. It is here (but seeing I'm a new user I cannot post the link). However, the software that they recommend for installing the firmware did not work on my Windows 7 unit. Further search brought me here (but seeing I'm a new user I cannot post the link but it is on the Tablet Mods site), which clearly explained how to download and use LiveSuit to install firmware from a PC to an android tablet. And so. Back to the mymidpad firmware page! If you check the m9000 firmware, there are 4 possibilities. It says to check your serial number on the back to determine which one to use. Woe is me--my m9000 had no serial number. What the heck did I have? And so, I tried all 4 possibilities. NONE of them worked. They all installed OK, but the touchscreen would not respond. At that point, I was ready to throw the machine in the garbage. But one last chance: I tried to install one of the images given for the M9100 (M9100f), and to my shock, it worked like a charm and my machine is working better than ever. Go figure! I suspect that my M9000 actually is a M9100, at least in part. Who knows. I'm happy, for the time being. The moral is: be careful you don't overcharge these units!
my problem is that the touch stopped working ...
hey I have the same problem and I can not fix !!!! I have the same model. please help !!!!
Hi Gurus,
Does anyone have any information about the Versus touchtab 10.1 dual core with android 4.1? I have just ordered it and am waiting for delivery.
http://www.johnlewis.com/231888577/Product.aspx
It has a pretty decent spec including the RK3066 SoC and 1 GB ram with a IPS screen.
I was wondering if it is possible to root it or even better flash it with cyanogenmod??
I understand it is a generic Chinese tablet that has been rebranded as Versus and I think also CnM touchpad. Does anyone know the "master" tablet model number?
Thanks,
hopoffbaby
Hi,
Yea that'd be great. I really love the performance of this tablet for be the price but would love to get a custom rom on it. Have you noticed any issue with wifi when the screen has been off? Mine doesn't like to reconnect. I have to toggle airplane mode to get it connected again.
Thanks
Hey,
I just picked up the 10.1 touchtab from Maplins yesterday, I've also noticed the issue with the wifi not wanting (or taking a long time) to reconnect after the screen switches off, the wifi also seems to be considerably weaker than on my other devices!
Samuel
Hi,
I don't notice an issue with wifi strength and but it often won't reconnect. I have sent them an email regarding this so if they come back to me with a solution I'll be let you know.
Thanks
Thanks, do keep me updated!
Just incase anybody is interested, I'm 99% sure the CnM 10.1 touchtab is the same as the versus touchtab so some useful downloads can be found here: www_kmscomponents_com/cnmlifestyle/products/touchPad10DC.htm#down
(apologies as I cant yet post links)
Nexus 10
I think the best 10" tablet is the Nexus 10, and it's not bad prized i think you should consider that option.
Granted the nexus 10 is a nice tablet but it's twice the price of this tablet which I already have so don't think I'll be buying that. I already have a galaxy nexus phone which does me nicely.
Ideally would like to root this tablet or flash custom rom. If I don't manage to get the wifi working properly though it might have to go back.
Hi.
Great thanks for the files. Hope you u make some progress with rooting it. I don't really know how to manually root these things. I generally just use tools other brain boxes have written Lol. Would really like to get a ROM like cm on it though
What is the sort of processes you'd normally follow to root something with no tool available?
On another note I still haven't heard back about my WiFi issue however I notice if you go into the advanced WiFi settings you can set it to never release WiFi when the screen is off which seems to have fixed the issue so far.
Cheers.
Hi guys,
I just had a reply from Versus (CnM) stating that upgrading the firmware should solve the wifi issue. I'll give this a go tonight (hopefully the flash tool likes windows 8) and see what happens :fingers-crossed:
Hi there,
There is a new firmware on our website www.versusuk.com if you follow the instructions to upgrade your tablet this will resolve your problem.
Kind Regards,

Quick Versus root tutorial
I just purchased (yesterday) a Versus 10.1 DC from Maplins to and want to use it as a media player when I go away. With so many films in MKV format being bigger than 4GB, the only way I could see films this big was to root it to be able to read NTFS drives.
I followed the same route to root (pun there ) as zoranuk [cheers for that] but started by follwing the guide to install the right drivers first as supplied by user154 [cheers for that too]
So here's what I did and it rooted 1st time:
Installed the correct drivers as per the Vesus Touchpad - USB Debugging Setup Guide.zip earlier in the thread by user154
I then looked at the link supplied by zoranuk
I downloaded the Chinese Android manager application as mentioned on the page above.
Now here's where it can become confusing as it is all in Chinese!
Do not connect Versus yet but have USB Debugging already selected on tablet
Run ZhuoDaShi on loading
it will bring up this window
View attachment 1796599
click where the arrow is pointing
that will bring up the next
View attachment 1796600
again onto
View attachment 1796601
now attach the usb, after a minute or so then click
View attachment 1796602
again click the link
View attachment 1796603
this will root your Versus
I am not taking any credit to this just putting it all in one place, and hopefully get others rooted
cheers
Ian
yes that rooting works great..thanks

I carried out the firmware update on the 8DC and now it won't. It just gets stuck during the root process. So unless anyone has any other advice, give the new firmware a miss if you want to stay rooted.
On another note, has anyone had their ZhuoDaShi update to a new version with a new icon automatically? It also installs some other rubbish as well if you let it!

Just received mine today
Hi davidayling,
I just received mine today (from: hongkongeek[dot].com since they promised to refund customs and VAT); excellent and quick service btw!
This is the first time I bought one of these china phones; encouraged by the many and mostly positive reports...
About the Phone:
+ To me it does look and feel just like the high quality brand phones
+ NOT A SINGLE CHINA APP!!! Just vanilla 4.2.1 - very good performance; smooth animations, transitions
+ 3800 mah battery - though I'm not sure if it really will deliver that much energy - but it says 3.800 on the label at least
+ Display (likely really an IPS): bright (even outside), wide viewing angle - very close to the front glass; comes very close to Samsung S3 amoled
+ 2nd battery included; additional flip cover included
+ Pen looks like a real S-Pen - no softtip; anyway the capacitative finger-touch recognition is not stopped when using the pen; so that can cause inconvenience when using it
+ GREAT (!) web browsing experience: 5,7" & good performance with JS-rich web-apps (like groupware web-clients)
+ Dual-SIM (with dual standby); however just one line can be used at the same time; and only one is WCDMA capable.
+ Worked on two carrier networks instantly
- no compass; well my last phone had one; I'm not sure if I really need one
- 220g = 170g phone + 50g battery - it's not a feather...
I am actually planning to flash CWM & root it; also I haven't tried out the GPS yet - So I'll be back regarding this later.
Many greet's from the hights of the austrian alps!

Hi Guys,
I found this thread and I was wondering if anyone can answe my question: has the s-pen any functionality like the original note2? I mean, something like opening the quick-notes on double tap or something like that? If not, does it have any functionality at all?
Thanks
Hi, the pen has no specific functionality; it's basically useful for exact "clicking" in the browser for example, or drawing sketches...

Hi everyone,
Here are some Pictures of the camera to see it's quality... took them in the 12mpix mode - camera and gallery work very quickly even with pics that large... not sure if the image size is reduced by the forum software.
And yes...
... we still have snow on the mountains, the strawberries are still green and my chihuahua enjoys the sun...
Also I can report that the battery is really as strong as expected, after 3 cycles of complete drain and recharging the indicator works correctly. Even when using it extensively (frequent webbrowsing, phonecalls of a regular business day) it reliably carries me through the day... the weekend left me with 25 % after two days. Standy with wlan on does not consume considerably much... great!
As allready said, it's easily rootable. Also I'm using the apex-launcher so I could increase the number of icons on the homescreens to 5x8, increase the number of screens to 9... it's a pleasure!

i have the star n9599 since few days. It works great, also bluetooth and usb service is better for me than galaxy s3 (in my bmw the star works very well, S3 works not good).
Display: the brightness is good, the black not so good; No crash, a little bit heavy but a very good battery.
The (s)pen is not so good, too much noise when you write on the screen and i haven't find a good app for note with the pen.
Rooted in few minutes.
I only have 2 problems: i can't update maps app (it seem play store can't install in the original path, i have also uninstalled previous version but the problem remains.
The second one is that i can't see facebook photos (or dropbox photos) in the stock gallery app (any idea?)
The settings app doesn't seem to be complete.
sorry for my bad english
Hi,
Regarding maps - i had this with google search... probably caused by inserting an sd card. I guess it is related to the default data location changing after inserting an sd card. So maybe you could try to set the default saving location to the internal memory in the system settings, then update, and reset the default location to sd-card again.
Let us know, if this helped, pls.

I tried everything but read it is a bug in 4.2.1.
Now i am desperately searching for some time now for the Android 4.1.2 rom that these phones were also running on before.
Anyone knows were i can find it?! how to flash it?
Any answer is much appreciated.
Thinking in buying a clone phone
morning / evening.
I have been working exploring searching the web for the best chinese clone phones out there in the market to begin a small bussiness and I was wondering if you people can guide me if there is a "good reputation " website to which purchase the STAR N9599 or other one with a 64 gb tf storage in it or 32 gb storage ?
Thank you
:fingers-crossed:
what micro sd card you recommend for the N9599

Hello,
I just noticed this phone too and there is even a thread about it on XDA (yay )
What are your thoughts about this phone?
the only thing im afraid about is because I heard STAR and some chinese branded phones are unreliable and may suddenly stop work one day.. is it true? or STAR is a reliable company?
I saw it being sold for 213$ for the mtk 6589T version..so.. overall, should I get this phone? how is its size compared to the note 2 ? is it much larger? or about the same? will it be hard to grip it? I mean it's 5.7.. even the note is 5.5 lol
Thanks!~
