[Q] Indipad 10" Unblock or ROM

Hi, just recently some student tablets started to drop in my shop with problems, the latest one was an Indipad 10" made by LGS Caribbean, that is ALL the info I know about it since there are no labels anywhere in the tablet or the box, my guess is a generic Chinese re-branded tablet and it looks like is running ICS 4.0.1 but can't be sure since is locked with a number password. The client brought the tablet in cause her child was playing with it and activated the password screen lock and of course the child doesn't remember what he typed in. :silly:
I'm either looking to unlock the tablet, factory reset it or re-flash stock rom.
I already tried using the volume +/-/power combo for the recovery but it takes me to the android boot error screen, so I guess it has no recovery installed or it was deleted on purpose by the company. Also tried entering a lot of failed passcodes to see if it brings the account recovery option, but is a no go.
Did a Google search to see if I could also find a rom to flash on it but since I'm limited on the info about it nothing has come up.
Many thanks for any help.

No one?

Same thing right here. But i can tell you it is running android 4.0.4, and the build number is: crane_m1003h6-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20120921. Of course as you may know the 20120921 is the date so my guess is that it depends on how many updates those tablets have received already. Anyway, the recovery works, cus i have one in here working and you can access recovery from inside android(when you go to factory reset it gives you an option to do so, i did and it works perfect). But again just like you said, It wont work using hardware buttons. I was trying to find someone who can contact me from LGS Carribean but no luck at all. Just nothing, i have a working INDIPAD at this moment and thats how im telling you whats the firmware version and build. Like you said on your post, its an issue dealing with generic tablets it really is. I have not found even a similar enough firmware for the tablet to flash, but i can confirn you can use LiveSuitPack to flash them. Only issue is that i havent found a firmware to do so lol.... And ive look just about everywhere. Im going to run USB deview to check what the real hardware is and brand, if im able to find something ill let you know M8

Many thanks, client called in today and told her I'm still looking for a solution. Will wait for what you find.

Did you get this resolved?

Not yet, @home atm, so I'll check tomorrow for an update.

Seems we still on the black

Yes we are, so far i can tell you the processor is an A10, so its an A10 device. It shows as T10a for manufacturer, but so far thats all i can tell you. There might be a way to pull the firmware image from a working Indipad so that we have something to flash on the password protected ones. But for now, we are all waiting on something

Have same issue

My mother-in-law is an English teacher and has several students with the same issue with a password they forgot or they locked the tablet on accident. I haven't been able to factory reset, but when you mentioned T10a, a quick Google search led me to show that EKEN makes T10a tablets.
I hope I'm not leading you down a rabbit trail, but here is their support site with manuals and firmware downloads
Also, searching on XDA apparently there is a way to get CWM on the EKEN T10a and instructions to flash to their latest ROM.
I haven't had a lot of experience with flashing ROMs, but I have flashed my personal devices before. So please let me know if this is possible in any way. I wouldn't want to mess something up. Well, I hope this helps.

Sweet, I'll do a hardware comparison tomorrow with EKEN T10a and see if they are identical devices (at least from the outside), if they match I'll just try that. The device is a brick atm so it doesn't matter trying to experiment with it.

Awesome! I'm so glad I was able to help. I will go ahead and get mine done.

Its funny, but i have that firmware on my computer. Didnt even know why before this post. Now that i see your posts i realize i have flashed those tablet before using Eken firmwares lol.... Thanks a lot guys

What firmware worked for you? Im asking because i downloaded one of them and when i try to turn the tablet on it will keep booting up and wont flash the new firmware.

The one for T10A, version "T10 G-SENSOR6225".
I also had a bit of a problem at first trying to boot it into flash mode, but what I did was go to the device manager in Windows and saw that there where 2 copies of the special driver that the "LiveSuitPack_version_1.09_20111101.exe" installs, one with the checkmark like they said, the other I assumed was the tablet connected, so I deleted the one with checkmark and tried again, this time it went through and started the flashing process which took less than 2 minutes.
Straight after attaching the cable, and whilst still holding down the volume+ button, start pressing the tablet power button repeatedly. This (slightly frenzied) procedure puts the tablet into update mode.

That was the tricky part, to make it boot into flash mode, it has to be fast between connecting and starting to press the buttons, I took like a 1 second delay between the two things.
Also, got to point out I didn't do the CWM or the root mod, just did the firmware flash cause that's what the client wanted.

Its allright buddy, and thanks. Thing is that i was trying to update it as it said on the Ekken website. But the tablet didnt accept the SdCard update at all. I told you it should be done using LiveSuit and yet i was afraid of bricking the device using LiveSuit ha ha.... Thanks a lot guys, case solved. It took all of us to do so but hey, we made it!!!!

Hi, i have same indiPAD only camera front, i tried flash another rom EkenT10-6225-20120815.rar but touch not work good, works inverted and camera not work.

Their server is kinda slow but I use Free Download Manager to download big files and speed up the download.
Also remember this was an experiment and it worked by chance, so no guarantee that it will for every indiPad out there, specially if the manufacturer changes the hardware, you should check the hardware info on the tablet just to make sure we are talking about the same tablet model or you could brick your device.

thanks bro, i know about rom experimental, i think same tablet from Puerto Rico, indiPAD, same eken t10a.
Can you tell me please what file worked on your tablet? i see some files
sun4i_crane_m1003h6-t10a-mc32x0-20121012.rar 274256 KB
t10.rar 200563 KB

t10_3axis_7660.rar 208078 KB
t10a-mc32x0-20121012.rar 274256 KB
And maybe possible did backup rom from working tablet too. If you can and have one piece we can dump rom.

Touchscreen not working after root, but S-Pen works fine

I posted this somewhere else, but I figured it was more appropriate to place it here.
After rooting and installing CWM using the method in the sticky at the top of the development section, (darkman's unnoficial CWM Recovery), My touchscreen no longer responds to finger input. The pen works fine, and is the only way I can navigate the tablet. Touch input doesn't work in CWM-touch either. I have tried: flashing a custom rom, flashing a stock rom through CWM, flashing stock firmware through Odin (both 4.0.4 and 4.1.2), resetting the triangle count, factory wipe/data reset, re-installing stock recovery, and changing various options in the settings. Nothing helped at all. I'm currently waiting for a reply on filing a warranty claim, but would really like not to have to send it in and wait for a new one. I've seen other people with similar issues, but most of them are either the s-pen doesn't work, or both s-pen and touch don't work. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix it, or is it definitely a hardware issue?
Thanks,
Reffu

Hi,
same issue here. Today the touchscreen stopped working suddenly after i flashed the Android Revolution HD 5.0 Rom yesterday. However, the S-Pen is still working fine. Installing other ROMs and the Stock ROM via Odin did not help. Issue allso appears in Touch-enabled-Recovery.
I see no reason, why this should be a hardware issue, although my N8000 came back from service a few days ago, where they also replaced the screen and digitizer.
Had anyone this issue before and was abled to resolve it?
Greets

I have the same problem on an n8013. Installed Revolution ROM HD version 5, rebooted and lost me touchscreen completely. Nothings worked. Flashed back to stock 4.1.2 but still no go.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

to read this as a Note 10.1 newbie is not very encouraging. are there any similar facts between all of you like
which Note model do you have
how did you jaibreak (which method)
which rom did you have before
which rom do you have now
how did you flash a new rom
...
is there a way to find out whether the touchscreen is really "dead for touch"?

This is a bit scary - my Note 10.1 is arriving today, and I plan to root it at a minimum. I actually don't mind Touchwiz all that much on my Note 2 (which is running CleanROM ACE), so I think I might just root the 10.1 for now.
So restoring completely back to stock (via Odin) doesn't fix it? That is really odd that ROM-ing this thing might cause a hardware failure...

Did anyone solve this, I'm having the same problem.

I never actually ended up solving this. I sent it in for repair (I had just bought it about a week before attempting to root) after flashing back to stock, and now I have a "new" one . I really want to root it, but I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen again. I really don't want to have to check if the warranty will cover the same issue twice, even if they don't know I rooted.

Just curious - did you just root, or did you root and install a ROM?
I am only rooted so far - haven't felt the need to ROM yet - partially due to worries about this happening. I bought a refurb from Best Buy and only get 90 days of warranty.

If they say you got a new one, you got one. They'll tell you otherwise if there's an issue over the phone.
But I wouldn't be afraid of ROMs, but to be more diligent and wise when it comes to choosing them. It's like choosing a poisonous mushroom versus an edible one to make stroganoff or stir fry. If you know what to avoid for the next time and follow the correct process to doing the root and flashing, there will not be an issues.
This is from someone who has soft-bricked my first tablet and learned how to unbrick my SIM-less Captivate and Note 10.1. It's how you apply the method and how much attention you practice not getting stuck into these situations is what matters. Especially since I bricked my tablet via experimentation and un-bricked it on the same day with ease.
It's not some big complex deal of rocket science or something only the mere geniuses can do, its how you perceive yourself and how you act. If you believe that you will suck and brick it to kingdom come , it will happen intentionally or subconsciously.
In this case, it was a freak accident where the file/s accessed and deleted the wrong files which allowed for capacitive touchscreen use, and it should be reported to x developers if you have not done so already.
I have rooted and used the Revolution HD rom, the Rom where you customize the colors of the bar/other things, and on the Captivate, the AOKP Collective. I further customized the latter with the Xperia launcher as it zips.

Did anyone find a repair for this besides replacement? My Note 2 is doing the same thing now.

Has anyone found a fix for the touch screen not working yet??
Anyone have any ideas?

Technicians input for touch problem
I am a technician and been repairing electronic devices for over 30 years and I would say the majority of repairs I have done were caused by people not happy with how their standard brand new device works and feel they need to make it better by modifying it in some way or other.
Now with smartphones if you didn't want the device as a standard rom and operating system why buy it ?
If you think the phone would be so much better with a modified rom then buy one working with a modded rom to start with as most of you put as much effort into modding as you did in your school work.
Anyone with half a brain that follows the instructions on the mod sites exactly as shown step by step will never have a problem, all those that do end up with paper weights or bricks didn't follow the instructions in numerical order.
Believe it or not even if after you have modded a rom and brought it back to standard they know it has been modded as they have a list of problems associated with repairs after roms have been modded so you are only fooling yourself they don't.
Same as the smoker that tells his Dr he has given up even though all the symptoms prove he really didn't.
So in my expert opinion if you play with modding and stuff it up why should you be eligible for a warranty claim ? The manufacturer has sold you or supplied a working item that you decided to f_ck around with and because of your stupidity expect some one else to pay for it.
I am not saying don't mod your phone with all the great roms out there but please to save yourself a lot of pain and cost some poor smuck trying to run a business in these economic times a lot of out of pocket from sending items back for replacement or warranty plus the time it takes to do all the paperwork and such, please please please read the instructions 300% or triple check you are doing everything exactly as the instructions say and you will be enjoying all the new benefits of that customised rom and laughing at all the noobs stuffing up their brand new device from not doing so.
I know this won't fix your problem but reread that last bit it was your problem as you are to clever to follow some one else's instructions

anyone have solution regarding this issue, mine have issue also, can anyone spare how to fix it without changing hardware?

WOW.. And you come to XDA For ? Most of the time The modded roms often fix manufacture issues and add features the manufacturer decided users do NOT Need ..Being your first post on xda . I do NOT think attacking users is the way to go. Also your post adds nothing to help the users..
ON TOPIC
Have any of you who have this issue try to do a full Wipe and flash pit file for your device.. Something is being left behind and not over written is most likely the Cause.. Also post this in the Rom developers forum So maybe he can look into it more as its his Creation..
Good Luck

[ROM][ODIN] P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware

P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SPH-P500 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the Sprint model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 firmware.
Details:
P500VPBMB3 Stock w/ MB3 Modem
Package Includes: BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, MODEM AND CACHE ZONES
Download:
P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com
How To Flash:
BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.
Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site. We also offer repairs on a number of other issues.

27 downloads and nothing? I'd love some feedback so others can be confident in the firmware.

It´s a disease from all P31XX and P51XX useres don´t hitting the thanks button and don´t giveing feedback... maybe they don´t want any support.... (?)...
i don´t have a P51XX - i can´t give other feddback then this... sorry....

Haha it seems that way! Well thanks for your response. Nice to hear from somebody about this. For some reason the Tab 2 10.1 forum members seem to be dead but want development anyhow without any input!

There are a lot of people here in a german forum there is mostly nobody ...
i hope you get some feedback! if not: there is not problem first things that will reported are problems

Haha, how true! No news is good news right?

problem and feedback if it works...
Hi. I am pretty new here (although I have been a member for a while, I have not really been active). I do have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 inch display model P500VPBMB3. Perhaps I can try out what you are talking about if it helps me with my problem below and then I will be more than happy to give you feedback.
PROBLEM
I never really rooted a device before but I am at a loss here since the current version of Android that I have on my device is 4.1.2 . It's working OK but I run out of space very often since I only have 16GB of main memory. I would love to upgrade to 4.2.x so that I have the option of storing apps on the external SD card. I am not clear exactly what you are giving us here on your thread. If you can explain it to me and especially if it does what I am outlining above I would want done, I would love to give it a shot and then give you some feedback.
Either way thank you for helping is Sprint tablet people whether or not what you have above will help me.
Thanks

You will actually want to look into custom recovery combined with a custom ROM to enable this type of option. What I have provided here is a stock firmware (stock operating system). This is actually already what you have installed on the device.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. You seem to be a helpful sort of person. I am sorry to be so dense but I have no idea what those things are. Is there a place where I can, sort of begin from scratch to learn all about these things or can you please fully explain what I need to do here?
I get that yo said that what you are offering is what I already have. What I don't understand is what exactly what to look for. I do know that if I install the wrong thing, I can brick my device. What I don't know if how to find what I am looking for. I already tried it in the search box-that's how I got to your thread.

This is honestly a very tough section as the P500 is a rare unit that has little to no development. You are in the right sub-forum but finding any mods for your unit may not be possible at this time unfortunately.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! You can root with Kingo root and make modifications with xposed. I just have been so busy with work.
I will flash this when I have time. Now I can be more risky with flashing because I can now go back to stock ROM.

Hello, I know its been almost a year, but I tried to flash this ROM and get stuck after the tab reboots with the message "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", is there anything I can do to restore the tab (I did not do any backup).
Thanks a bunch

Do you have the Sprint model? If so, try re-downloading it and flashing again. Afterwards, perform a factory data reset.

The tab comes from China but in the options i've seen SPH-P500 so I supposed it was a model made for Sprint.
I did flash again and reset factory but nothing changed.

That is definitely unusual though the fact it came from China. This likely is NOT the right firmware for your model. The back of the unit should have the model number. See what it says...

Indeed the back says P5110 ... Chinese devices ... Thanks a lot ! :good:

P500
Wow!! I made a mistake!! I bought this tab to have some fun rooting and installing custom roms. I should have checked the forums first to see if there was any support. Thanks for what you've provided here. I'm going to at least try to root and install xposed.

I have a sprint gtab2 10.1 that's out of contract, so i'm willing to start working on things if needed.

if we no longer need to use the Sprint data can we flash a SPH-P5100 rom for wifi only ?

resurrecting an old thread. Need to find the original firmware for sph-p500. This appears to be it, but I can't find or get the password to the .rar file. I can't find the firmware anywhere else after a TON of google searches. any help appreciated in either getting the password to the .rar file, or a different place to download the firmware.

[Q] AOC Q70S15 Bricked

Does anyone have the Stock Firmware for the AOC Q70S15? I have looked everywhere. They dont even have it on the AOC Website. If anyone has it please help me.

No nothing there.

I still cant fix it. No matter what I try I cant get it to show up with RKDevelopTool_v1.37 ,RKBatchTool, or withRK3xxx firmware tools. On the computer it will show android adb device pluged in at the control panel. But the programs will not show a device. i am screwed. I need a firmware to flash from sdcard in stock android recovery. But the AOC q70s15 is not on the AOC website.

gooooooooolllll

I fixted it!!!!!!!! opened it up and pluged it up to a computer,stuck a neddle in between the 7th and 8th pins touched the power button and it showed as conected in mask mode. flashed Oma_RK31_Pipo_U8_KK_4.4_v1.1 and it is working!!!!!!!!

Ok. It is not fixed. I can not turn off the tablet. If I do it will not turn back on. I have to put it back in to Mask Mode and reflash. It will not keep it. Anyone has any help or suggestions?

Strange ... it's not that old. I looked it up out of curiosity and it was being reviewed as something 'new' at the very end of 2013.
You mentioned not seeing a download (of any kind) for your tablet on the AOC web site, but you didn't mention whether or not you've phoned the company's '800' number, or if you've spoken with one of their service technicians.
Did you come across this page, headed Centros de Servicio, for Chile?
For some reason, the "Q-series" does not show on their web site, but perhaps if you can get to speak with a technician, you could explain your problem?

I have emailed Aoc 3 times asking for help and never received an answer. As for calling the number... No I haven't. I would have take the tablet back to the store but my wife bought it and lost the receipt.

Looking at the linked page, in addition to the company's '800' number, there are 13 AOC service centers in Chile, each with its own phone number and each with at least one technician? You don't need a warranty repair, just someone to tell you where to get flashing instructions.
If no luck in Chile, try contacting AOC in another country, where they may have better support for the 'Q series' of tablets.
AOC (Admiral Overseas Corporation International) isn't a 'shoestring operation'. The company dates back to its 1934 founding, in the US. Keep on trying, don't give up so easily.

I have also emailed AOC USA

Someone named 'Patricio' has a kernel for your tablet. You didn't say you needed that, but if they are working with your tablet at that level of complexity, this might be a source to find out why your ROM won't 'stick' after flashing.
There's also someone else, from Chile, working with your tablet's firmware. He also should know how to make your ROM flash 'stick'.
This may or may not apply to AOC tablets, but with the non-branded phone imports, it has been known for a manufacturer to keep the same model name but make hardware changes on later production runs. If you get an expert's flashing instructions and it still doesn't work, then look for internal identification numbers and see if that matches with the ROM's source.
As you may know, that match has to be 100% or the firmware won't work after flashing.

Yes Patricio has shared the stock images with me but when I tried to flash it it said that I need a rk3188loader.bin. I tried with a rk3188loader.bin from a ROM from Oma´s Pipo U8. It wouldn't go past the AOC Splash screen. So I flashed Oma´s Pipo U8 but it will not stay if I turn off the tablet. I don't know much about rk3xxx. I use too Samsung android. They are way different. The way the Roms are built and the way they flash.

???
I guess I need the rk3188loader for the stock ROM.
Does anyone know anything about flashing rockchip devices? Do I need a different rk3188loader.bin? Are they the same for all? I am trying to understand this.

Patricio gave me a different parameter.img than came in the KitKat ROM and I haven't installed any of the apps that came in the ROM. I don't know which one it is but I can reboot the phone or turn it off and it turns back on. I think it was me deleting the apps I don't use in the system like google+ mxplayer ( because I use mxplayer pro) but it works ? thanks to everyone for the help.

Hi, why do you needed the stock rom for this tablet? I have this and I'm looking for a ROM to install, I think this stock rom is very bad, too laggy

I don't need it anymore. After I got the tablet to keep the ROM after I turn off the tablet. Now I am happy and don't need it anymore.

Q70S15 firmware
Hi Patricio, I also have the Q70S15 and I need to root it, but I didnt find any backup firmware on the internet...the files you posted here are the ones of that tablet? If so,can you confirm please? Do you speak spanish, if so I can write in that language too.
Thank buddy, waiting your reply....

[Completed] Can Clockwork or another recovery program find and backup your truly stock ROM?

My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.
Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....
OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?
Your rooted, but stuck.
So my main question is:
What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?
On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.
Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?
Thanks in advance.
Additional backstory if helpful.
I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers.
I have discussed this problem in another thread if more details on all this specific to this device are of interest.

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.
It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?
The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks

The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..
Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..

Totally cool. It's a tough question.
The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
