Hi, i want some help with unbricking an aml8726-mx tablet. It's Prestigio Multipad Prime Duo, 7" 1024x600 tablet with 16gb internal storage and micro-sd card slot. It has only Power and + - volume buttons.
I've bricked it by flashing official firmware with default recovery. Entered recovery, made wipe, than installed update.zip from sd card. Progress bar started to move, indicating what process is on the way. And than in about 20%(no real percentage was in that recovery) tablet first freezed and than turned off. From this point there was no reaction on buttons, no display(even no backlight) - nothing. Connecting it to PC made the power on light flashing every 1 second(i guess). No device found by PC. I've tried turning on with - and + pressed, with both, without pressing anything - no luck.
So it was deep brick. Later i have found some info about 5th and 6th pins on NAND chip inside tablet, if those pins are connected to each other, after turning on tablet will be discovered by PC as M6 device. That worked! After hours dancing around AML usb flashing tool i was able to boot some uboot on tablet, started some recovery(not on the screen, it's still black as night), connect to recovery with ADB and trying to flash BOOT, BOOTLOADER and RECOVERY.
What i've tried:
1)adb push boot.img, boot loader.img and recovery.img i get from official firmware for this tablet
2)to make sure what my files now exists on tablet. I've pushed them to /cache/ so
Code:
#cd /cache/
#ls
and ls told me what my .img files are there
3)tried to flash
Code:
#flash_image boot /cache/boot.img
#flash_image bootloader /cache/bootloader.img
#flash_image recovery /cache/recovery.img
And here is a problem - each of those command gave me that:
error scanning partitions exit with code -1
I can't flash bootloaders and recovery. I've googled for days and still dont get it - why that "partition scaning" errors and what should i try.
If anyone can help me with that, or is there some different method of flashing it - i will be highly appreciated. I've used this tablet for less than a week and now it's totally bricked what i can't bring it back to life.
Same issue
I have the exact same problem! Could anyone help please?

Hi I have a sirius Nvsbl equals this model and also takes AML8726. Turns out my tablet is dead and the clearing to see if you can revive and has a pin GND, TX, RX and vcc and this gives me the idea that it is a port to relive problem is not with that program .. I guess with riff box can but I have this box I have several cables Nokia I'm sure it is compatible (DKU5) the problem is with software that can burn the boot?

I have exactly the same problem. I managed to flash it with Crystal batch 3 SW. Can acess shell thru adb, but the screen is black too.
I also have boot.img, recovery.img, factory.img, system, but I don't have the bootloader.
Once I flash it with the files mensioned above the tablet doesn't even boot and I have to shunt the TF boot contacts that exist on the board.
It is a DINO 7.17.
AML8726-MX - dual core 1.5GHz
1GB RAM
8GB internal ROM
According to build.prop (original) the board is:
ro.product.model=DINO7.17
ro.product.brand=MID
ro.product.name=DINO7.17
ro.product.device=g08ref - can't seem to find any firmware with this reference
ro.product.board=g08ref
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
the original mtd table:
mtd0: 00400000 00100000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00800000 00400000 "logo"
mtd2: 00800000 00400000 "aml_logo"
mtd3: 00800000 00400000 "recovery" - have it
mtd4: 00800000 00400000 "boot" - have it
mtd5: 30000000 00400000 "system" - have it
mtd6: 08000000 00400000 "factory" - have it
mtd7: 08000000 00400000 "cache"
mtd8: 90000000 00400000 "userdata"
mtd9: 12d000000 00400000 "NFTL_Part"
Did you fix your tablet?
Could someone help us out here?

Yes I can.
It is a Generic MX Droid-TV (AML8726-MX G18REF) box, now with AndroidGadget ROM.
I used this program below to create a special SD card (with a new image), which booted and fixed my box, with AndroidGadget ROM.
FILE: DD
FILE: IMAGE
FILE: ROM (pw: androidgadget.co.uk)
The DD program used to create the special bootable SD only works under Win XP (Under VMware is also OK)
I hope it will be of help.
If anyone makes a kernel for this that supports CWM, CPU speed mod and CyanogenMod, I'd be grateful

Thank you very much
WARNING, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, THEN DO NOT DO IT.
1) THE PROCESS IS ENTIRELY AUTOMATED.
2) NO NEED TO MANUALLY INSTALL ANYTHING ONCE THE PROCESS IS STARTED.
3) THE 2 ERRORS COMING AT THE END OF THE RECOVERY PROCESS ARE PART OF THE PROCESS.
AN IMPORTANT REMINDER:
If you can not follow the instructions correctly or you do not understand them, ASK BEFOREHAND on the FORUM and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES PERFORM THE RECOVERY.
Under no circumstances should you do any manual installation of any of the files located on the recovery sd card.
The result may be a permanently bricked box with no way to recover.
Here is an almost-idiot proof ROM install and UNBRICK method instruction for AML8726-MX (M6) Android TV Box (1gb / 8gb dual core):
If you manage to brick your box, it is your fault entirely. I did the recovery image for myself and decided to share it with community. Use at your own reponsibility.

I created an easy-install SD Card image from this ROM: Matricom G-Box Midnight MX2 v1.1.5+ (ROM DATE = 9th of August 2013)
The ROM was used for creating the special install SD card.
It is very simple to install, just insert a 4gb or larger SD CARD into Windows PC and use this program to set up the card:
DOWNLOAD THIS:
http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/HDDRawCopy1.02Portable.exe
Then use the extracted sd card image file as a source and set a target to your sd card (4 gb), it writes the image, close the HDD RAW COPY program and eject the card (SAFELY - choose eject from PC, right click menu + eject).
DOWNLOAD THIS:
FILE: Matricom Midnight G-BOX MX2 v1.1.5+ image (August 9th, 2013)
WARNING: THIS METHOD WILL ERASE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR MX BOX AND INSTALL A NEW ROM. USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.
As an added BONUS this will UNBRICK your device in case it is bricked.
Matricom image (Android 4.2.2): OTA works for XBMC etc
- Make sure MX device is powered off and power cable removed.
- Insert SD card you just created.
- Insert a match or a toothpick to reset hole - you will feel a click. (it is the AV hole in the back)
- Power on the MX box by inserting power cable, while holding the match in the reset hole.
- It will boot to recovery and start installing ROM.
- After finishing it will give 2 errors - these do not matter.
- Remove power cable and insert it again, the device will boot as MATRICOM MIDNIGHT G-BOX MX2
This is how the board looks from inside: (NO NEED TO OPEN FOR INSTALLING)

Question, I thought Matricom prevented loading their firmware on non Matricom boxes, will this definitely work on a DroidTV MX?

Make sure you check it is the correct hardware.
Don't forget to back up anything you need from it, since this will format everything and install a new rom.
ANSWER IS: YES
This is a special AMLogic Boot SD card image and YES it works.

Must be an idiot. I can't get the card to flash without an error writing after it says 100. If I try it the box boots into recovery but nothing flashes to the box.. I've tried 2 different sd cards

Your box is not the correct hardware for this ROM.
It is not for other hardware than mentioned in my OP.
It can work in the G02REF(1gb / 4gb dual core)?

- It has 2GB Internal Storage
- Android OS 2.1
- Have 2 MicroSD Card Slots

-------------------------------------------
Warning: Follow these steps. All of them. If you do, it will work. If you misread or miss a step or skip a step because you are hurrying through the process, it WILL brick your tablet. Flashing is a relatively simple process but it requires patience. If you don't have the time to read all of the directions and follow them, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FLASH, and stick with your old firmware.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS ROM HAS CAUSED. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CLONES OF THIS TABLET, DON'T EXPECT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY.
-------------------------------------------
Note: I'm not so good in English and grammar, so bear with me. The images is not so clear co'z im using webcam for fast capture and focusing.
If I made mistakes, corrections are welcome.
:: Super Improvement ::

- New Default Application updates
- New Icons
- New 3D Gallery
- Supports Flash on browser.

This guide is for Windows XP, I'm windows7 user before but I downgrade because I want to use my other old softwares for flashing. If you get the idea you can do this also on windows7.
------------------------------
NOTE:
- For windows7 user Run As Administrator the IUW application.
- 64bit Operating System may not work with IUW application.
------------------------------
NOTE: If your tablet showing version 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) or 0.6.1.2(587) Then you can skip some part of the guide. Scroll down directly to the "Alternative Solution" using MicroSD burning. You still need to download the Android 2.2 Froyo Main Firmware.
------------------------------
:: Preparing the Male to Male USB Cable :: (if you have one skip this)
Ok let's start, what you need is a male to male USB cable, if you don't have one you can make your own male to male cable.
Tools
- 2 USB Cable
- Scissor or Cutter
- Electrical Tape or anything to cover the exposed wire
- Solder Lead (Optional)
- Soldering Iron (Optional)
1. Cut each USB to the nearest tip of the female, to make your USB cable longer.
2. Cut each end of the USB to expose the wires and copper wires.
3. Now you can connect each end of the USB, and twist each wires, you can solder it if you like.
4. Now you can tape each wires, and tape all the wires.
This is the finish product.
:: Preparation for Files and Flashing Procedures ::
*Note: Please PM me if there are missing links.

1. Make a Folder on your desktop for fast track of your files, I named it Froyo 2.2 and save all your downloaded files here.
2. Download IUW Flashing tool, and save it inside the folder of your desktop.
3. After download, unpack it inside the folder.
NOTE: Your tablet should be full charged, and connect the charger while flashing, just to make sure it will not drain much power on your tablet. Don't forget also to remove all your MicroSD cards from the tablet.
4. Since your done making your USB Cable, your tablet should be off and plug the other end USB to the PC and plug the other end on your tablet USB Port between the headphone jack and SDCard Slot 1.
5. Open the IUW application, select Link USB on the left side. And on the Link information the DV (driver) is greyed, because it's not detecting the tablet with driver.
6. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC..."
7. A New Hardware notification will pop up on your PC Screen.
(you have 2 minutes to setup this or the tablet will boot normally)
Select Advance, Next.
Browse the driver from your desktop inside the folder "otg_driver"
Then it will install the driver.
The flasher will turn to green.
:: FLASHING V2852 ::
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first.
8. 'Choose a wrapped image' press the "..." button Select the IUS file "WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius"
9. Click 'burn' to flash the tablet.
This picture is flashing the tablet.
10. After burning finishes, plug out the USB cable and press Reset, then restart the device.
:: Flashing UBOOT ::
11. Open UIW application, and connect your tablet USB to PC.
12. Select "Link USB" on "USB Mode:" select "Expert Mode" Uncheck all except "UO".
13. Browse the "u-boot-nand.bin" the one with working camera.
14. After flashing this is the result.
15. Your screen with start to flicker, it will start to initialize.
16. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration.
:: Flashing IMAGES ::
17. Power off your tablet, and prepare again the UIW to flash the main android 2.2 firmware.
18. Click Link USB, and select Expert burn.
NOTE: Use the other Ramdisk.img fix you download, not from the flash10.1-android2.2 folder.
19. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC...", if the Dv is green your ready and click the burn button.
20. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration and your Done!
:: Alternative Solution ::
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method. You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
Lets make a bootable MicroSD, to convert the file size to 700~705MB, you need a MicroSD at least 1GB.
Download WinHex with MicroSD Clone Image.
1. Open your WinHex
2. Click Tools->Disk Tools->Clone Disk->
3. On Source Raw Image: click the file button.
locate the "aben.start sector" file, click open.
4. On Destination Medium: click the drive button.
locate the Physical Media of your card reader/MicroSD, ok.
5. Fill in the Start Sector with 0 (zero).
6. Click OK, and WinHex pop up will appear, click OK and it will start cloning the image file to your MicroSD.
7. A notepad will pop up that you are done cloning the image, close and press OK on the pop up message.
8. Close WinHex, and safely remove the card reader/MicroSD.
9. Plug the card reader/MicroSD again, and do a quick format.
10. If you successfully formated the MicroSD to 700~705MB then create an "android" folder, and copy all the main image files on the folder. And your Done! :: If you fail there are some other reason, some card reader is not working properly, try to find another card reader, if your phone has MicroSD Slot and able to communicate and serve as card reader, you can use this also.
- ramdisk (use the other ramdisk you download)
- system
- uImage
- userdata
some optional or skipped file.
- u-boot-nand (android v2.2)
- zSYS (Flytouch Official Image 3245)
This is what's inside the MicroSD on android folder.
12. After copying the files plug the MicroSD at the top most/Slot 1 between the 2 USB port.
13. And Power On your Tablet, and it will start Flashing just like here on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3
You can also use this MicroSD to downgrade back to 3245 firmware.
Thank you.
Don't forget to click the Thank You button

Confirmed that the 3G USB modem Huawei E1752 is working perfectly. Just create an APN and reboot while the Huawei E1752 is in the USB port.. After startup it makes a connection and works fast!
manually created an APN in settings/connections/mobile providers and configured for your local provider. Also enabled data connection, otherwise I won't start searching. After that reboot and it started working. No specials actions required.

Can you see the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo?
If you can see it then you are ready to update using MicroSD method.
@smarkies
no there is no version number
first time I connected to pc it said found new hardware but no driver. There I selected the otg driver in the package.
Burntool does connect and goes up from 0 to 100 procent (very quick about 7 secs.) when i burn but when i check im still on my previous build.
After that I tried to update to other firmware using update.zip on winhexed sd card. This did work so now I am on 1623 build.
after that I tried again using burntool but still didnt work out.
In the folder containing the 2852 rom there are also two folders
0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and
0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005
both contain uboot and uboot nand files is there something I have to do with them before I can flash?
Any advice?
Other thing I noticed: in recovery menu there is a line saying:
e:can't open / cache / recovery / command
It didnt stop me from update with update zip but could it be the reason burntool isnt working for me?

dont touch any file inside the folder of 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and 0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005.
Try to burn the UO first, u-boot-nand.bin the one with working camera, if not try this another u-boot-nand.
Then burn the Main Image Android Rom.
Thanks for the quick repy to be sure I wont Brick my Pad
for the uo file I use Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) or uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587)
and for the ROM files I only use files from the 20110416-v1001 folder?
If so I will burn right away

I abused my pad flashing many times, and still it is alive, It will brick if your USB cable is poorly made, or overpowered that will fry the motherboard of your tablet, just like what happen to other people.
the safest way to flash is microSD, but it is tricky with this froyo update that's why I risk on flashing using USB.
V 0.6.1.2(587) this one has working camera. But you can try both uboot to display the version under the InfoTMIC logo. But I use V 0.6.1.2(587) coz I want the camera to work fine.
Yes the files inside the 20110416-v1001 folder except for the u-boot-nand inside.
If the USB flashing doesnt work you can try the alternative, using the microSD.
Thank u very very much worked like a chime.
camera and wifi are working I used uo V 0.6.1.2(587)
will play with it tonight to see what else it can do now

IUW does not work with 64 bit
Please add in the OP that some on other forum sites have confirmed that IUW does NOT work with any 64 bit operating system.
I will link to reference if I come across it again...
For Development USB debugging options for Z4Root, you may also want to link to my post HERE.
quick tip for windows 7 users, picture 6 will not happen, at least it didn't for me, you need to navigate to devices and printers, find the unknown device, and manually install the otg driver
Works as advertised.
I bricked my tab first, but got it up and running again with your step by step guide. Many thanks!
I followed your instruction for SD card and it worked perfectly. I now have the 3925 version on my Superpad and it seems to be working well. Definite improvement on Angry Birds(which I play way too much) and Home Run Battle 3D. WiFI works fine, don't know about GPS or camera as I don't really use them, but I will check just for curiosity sake Seems to be faster and I have had no random lockups that I had with the v5 I had on previously. I will report back as I use it. Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, that's why I made it with Windows XP, and we are aware that 64bit OS is so choosy in terms of software compatibility.
About the USB Debugging, I already made a guide after the Flashing/Burning guide.

*6 creating new NAND Data.fai is required when size of NAND Data(FAT partition) is changed by flashing new lk.rom in previous step. you can use same NAND Data.fai if you are using same lk.rom. don't use NAND Data.fai from other people.
*7 if size of NAND Data is not changed, you can skip flashing NAND Data.fai to keep your files in NAND(FAT) partition.
*8 you can make non-empty NAND Data.fai in this window
* issues
no mic input with stock apps
USB host on Scroll 7" resistive and 8"
USB mass storage mode (mount from PC) under some condition
some USB mouse
suspend/resume on Emdoor's tablet with Eclair ROM (a-rival PADs, EM51, and EM71 multitouch)
* tips
- what is lk_androtab.rom? / how to increase size of /data?
use lk_androtab.rom in FWDN.zip. in lk_androtab.rom, size of partitions are modified to get more /data. in addition to this, lk.rom/lk_androtab.rom for COBY Kyros MID7015/7016/7022 and EM73 capacitives have +512MB for MTD(assigned to /data) and -512MB for NAND.
- how to use internal NAND flash as SD card?
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Application -> Use internal storage -> On -> reboot
if enabled, internal NAND flash is mounted on /mnt/sdcard and SD card is mounted on /mnt/nand.
in clockworkmod, internal NAND flash is mounted on /emmc. it will be used by "install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from internal sdcard".
- I like portrait / my favorite portrait apps are upside down / accelerometer axes are wrong on some apps
make /data/local.prop with following 3 lines, then reboot.
Code:
accelerometer.hwrotation=270
input.hwrotation=270
ro.sf.hwrotation=270
* FAQ
- what is GB ROM?
old TCC8902 tablets were shipped with Eclair ROM, but there is GingerBread ROM for some tablets. bootloader(lk.rom) and kernel in GingerBread ROM are not compatible with bootloader/kernel in Eclair ROM. CM7 for GB ROMs only work with bootloader in GB ROM, so you need to install GB ROM before installing CM7. (you can use CM7 FWDN image as alternative)
- what is 4K/8K?
there is 2(or more) variants for some tablets. they have different NAND, pagesize are 8192 or 4096, and it may need specific kernel for each.
HY means Hynix, and S means Samsung.
- touchscreen doesn't work (EM71/73)
there is many variants for EM71 and EM73. check your tablet carefully and use proper file.
- touchscreen calibration doesn't run on 1st boot
try run manually
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.zeroxlab.util.tscal/.TSCalibration
- I want to do calibration again
delete following files if exist, reboot, run calibration app, then reboot again
Code:
/data/misc/pointercal
/data/misc/idc/*
- I can't push any file under /system/
Code:
adb remount
- install failed on some apps (e.g. Angry Birds)
remove SD card before install
- no HQ video on youtube app/web
yes, certainly
- no HDMI output
yes, certainly
here is clockworkmod recovery for Kyros7015/Gpad701 users who installed GB ROM(lk.rom)

ALL FILES UNDER KYROS7015-GB DIRECTORY ARE JUST FOR TEST. DO NOT USE THEM FOR DAILY USE UNTILL TEST IS DONE.
I can't test it at all. if it can be booted, please check /proc/mtd at first
Code:

then try to make backup.
Just flashed Clockworkmod on my GB 7015A. Will try it tomorrow. Thanks for the work
by the way, is fastboot mode(not FWDN mode) exist on GB ROM for Gpad701/Kyros7015?
if yes, flashing recovery.img is easy on GB ROM, right?
if no, should I make tcc8900_mtd.img with clockworkmod recovery for easy install?
(no need talk about rooting here. it's meaningless for us because we can modify any files in .img directly)
Fast boot is present
Hey Fun,
Yes fast boot is present in the OEM version.
Cheers

20110529 for Kyros 7015(non-GB ROM)/EM71/EM51 are uploaded.
I'm thinking better way to make zips/imgs to support many tablets...
You r da man!
Fun,
I am excited to say that your Clockwork recovery has made a nandroid of the new OEM 2.3.1 for the Coby 7015. I can't wait to see how your CM version progresses. Is it ok with you to direct some other users to your thread?

here is dev thread, and I don't have that tablet, so if you tried clockworkmod recovery on Kyros 7015 with GB ROM, I want to hear detail what works and what not.
reboot recovery ok? /proc/mtd ok? backup ok? restore ok?
EDIT: oops I read wrongly. "has made a nandroid" == "backup ok", right?
CM7 for it is already uploaded on my site, but I don't know it boot or not. even if everything works as I except, touch screen will not work because there is no calibration yet.
please don't think "I uploaded" is "it boots". please don't consider "it boots" is "it works without problem". test is required but I can't do it on real device.
EDIT:
here is open forum. anyone can join/leave here.
(I'm not owner/admin. I just started this thread)

yep, just did it in fastboot. Really the easiest method to flash recovery. ClockwordMod 3.2.0.0 also made a successfully backup of my GB 7015A tablet. Did it try to restore though but I guess if the mtd is correct for the backup it will be with the restore.
Thanks a lot for that fun
thank you for your cooperation.
here is next test file for Kyros 7015 GB ROM users.
http://androtab.info/files/tcc8902/cm7/20110529/KYROS7015-GB/cyanogen_kyros7015-ota-eng.fun.zip
it's CM7 for Kyros 7015 GB ROM.
there is no support for touch screen calibration (I think no calc_table on GB ROM, but please confirm), so it will be only for test purpose. please try if you have enough free time
I want to know it boots or not. if not boot, what happen e.g. "a n d r o i d" yes/no, boot anim yes/no, adb yes/no, etc... if adb works, I want to see logcat.

I noticed EM71 is usable for this work... touchscreen doesn't work on kernel for Kyros 7015, but it can be usable for initial porting work.
anyway, to get Kyros 7015/EM71 in Japan, cost performance isn't good
I installed the rom for GB and installed your CM7 it gets to chinese 1st boot screen
Then my screen goes black and doesn't do anything ADb doesnt recognize it.

As an introduction, I ended up with this stick with no markings on inside or outside of casing, didn't even know the vendor. The build that was on the device when I first got it didn't even have the Google Play Store. This lead me to a (somewhat lengthy) look into this model. After a lot of fiddling, trawling and eventually playing, I wanted to bundle up everything I can on this stick as what I do know about it is spread wide and thin.

How to Root (thanks to tatubias)
Download file from here
Unzip cx-01.zip
Connect the dongle to your PC via Micro-USB cable. Ignore USB malfunction warning, PC will detect device once the dongle has finished booting (can take a few minutes, took me a while to figure this one out)
When the installation driver screen appears, select advanced option to select the folder driver from the file that you have unzipped
When driver installation is complete go to the folder Root-Script
Run Root-Script.bat
In Root-Script.bat window
7a - Select option 1 and verify the connection if OK
7b - Select option 2 and check if your device can be rooted (with this script)
7c - If its ok select option 3 when finished the dongle will be rebooted
That's all I have for now. AFAIK there isn't a custom ROM available for this device as yet. Wouldn't mind getting into it myself.
Thanks

Waiting for a custom ROM
Is it complicated to make a custom rom for this device ? How can I get source to start playing ?
Well here is the drama that was the other night. The firmware they have supplied doesn't flash, at least not onto my device. Tried it from a few different memory sticks and even from internal memory. Tried flashing the update.zip via ADB, no dice. Tried recovering it via ADB. I can get to the bootloader for fastboot, but for the life of me I can't get this firmware to flash.
The problem with the current firmware is that it doesn't allow you to log in with a Google account and therefore the Play Store doesn't work. Killing me. I don't know where to start as far as building firmware for this that I can flash either with the built in function or over ADB and I don't want to risk flashing the CX-01 custom firmware from the Pandawill forum in case I completely brick it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I manage to update mine but it's still 4.0.4
Before launching the upgrade in the about I got
Model Number : TCC8925_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #154 Mon Oct 8 10:53:30 CST 2012
Build number full_tcc8920st_emmc-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76D eng.sunny.20121008.105834 test-keys
After upgrade
Model Number : ANDROID_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #364 Fri Nov 16 20:51:49 CST 2012
Build number Android-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D IMM76D eng.root.20121128.105154
So the new firmware seems to be newer but I can't see any news on this firmware
I also tried to change some stuff in the zip and sign it again but I didn't manage to update
BTW this is the Stick that I have

Hi,
I also have such a stick from Cabletech. Thanks a lot for the update link, I'll try it. What kind of power supply are you using?
I installed the new firmware, it looks that it is very good, the experience is very smooth. There is however a drawback, the Play Store is not working, it seems that everything connected to a google account is not working (Play Store, login to youtube). I suspect that the necessary applications are not installed since I don't have the option to add a google account.
I'll try to install the Google Apps from CM9.

I upgraded device using the file. Just after update google services did notwork propertly, it was not possible e.g. to add gogle account or installing aplications from Google Play. I have restored factory settings and it started to work propertly. Device with new firmware works a little bit better...

Hello,
thanks for the great information provided. i was able to do this, that you provided us with and much more but i ran into some issues (issues triggered by myself) and now i have to fix the android image. therefore i have a few questions:
do you have an image (done with dd [linux] or [win32diskimager]) of the internal sd card?
do you have any idea how to boot the device in recovery
do you know a method of installing self-made update.zip's?
the dongle is very much the same with cx-01 but the only thing missing is the button which would allow us to boot the device into recovery mode and flash *.rom files.

Unfortunately I don't have anything. I ended up trying to flash a ROM I found online, bricked the stick. I can still access via ADB, but need an image to flash and I don't have that. Haven't even looked at the stick since then.
If anyone has an image that can be flashed via ADB, please let us know.
That sucks... i have a working stick but no stock image to share. If you need it i can make a full sd card image (with dd) and share it. This would bring your stick to the factory settings + version 04 of the modds that float around for the cx-01. I had no time to look at the schematics and fit the stick with a button so now this is the only solution availabke.
Firmware Update
I have contacted with the vendor and have received following URL for Calbletech URZ0193 firmware update:
www dot lechpol dot eu slash model slash urz0193 slash - sorry fort unconvenience, but I can't put external links directly. So try remove spaces from the URL and replace "slash" and "dot" words with the characters .
represented by them.
Try it, I just received the mail with the update URL few minutes ago and I do not have any experiences with that update file.

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
How to backup of your stock ROM, install CWM and Root your device.
Requirements
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Intel Android USB Drivers
SDcard (8GB of higher)
Temp recovery script
SuperSU
Steps
Download and unpack IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z
Power off tab.
Hold Vol+ and press Power on the tab 5-10 seconds
You can see logo about 10 sec and after that DROIDBOOT will load
Connect USB cable to PC
Run launch.bat from IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 folder
Type ACCEPT and press Enter
Type 5 and ENTER (cwm.zip)
Type T3 and ENTER (or T4)
CWM will load after 10 sec.
Select backup to external sd card.
After the backup is complete, copy it to the PC to ensure it's safe.
Follow steps 1-10 again and go to install zip from sdcard or external and select the SuperSU zip file and flash it.
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH ANY ROMS WITH THIS RECOVERY IT IS ONLY TEMPORARY. I DID NOT TEST XPOSED SO BE CAREFUL.

Unbrick your Tab!
To unbrick your device all you simply have to do is go back to the CWM and restore your backup that you created earlier. If you don't have one, here is a copy of a working backup ---> Google Drive. Credits to @andrei_kr, say thanks!
How to fix touch!
If you unbricked your tablet and your touch isn't working, there is no need to worry. @andrei_kr has provided a guide on how to fix that touchscreen. Credits to him.
NOTE: If your touch is working then do not try this, it will mess up your touch!!
You probably got this touchscreen issue by flashing a different kernel with incorrect drivers.
Now your configuration is likely to differ from the native. You can view the konifig in command prompt or in the terminal :
Code:
cat /proc/gt9xx_config
(only mtk) or using the gtp_tools apk (it is in the attached file below).
It starts with the byte sequence: 0x41 0x1C 0x02 0xC0 0x03
0x41 - 65 version
0x1C 0x02 - 540 horizontal resolution
0xC0 0x03 - 960 vertical resolution
Touch must somehow work to press the button, if there is support otg, then it's easier, you can connect a mouse.
1. Install the gtp_tools_v2.6_20140126_special.apk

Thanks for report.
First want to say much thanks for this thread, it was getting frustrating trying to find a solution.
I have encountered a slight issue trying to unstuck 2 of these devices.
neither have been rooted and are stock devices.
i cant seem to get cwm to locate the backup that you supplied.
do i need to copy it to the cwm backup folder on my sd card?

Yes you do. Copy it to your sd card. Btw if your device is stock why do you want to restore this one?

Oh I thought they were working. Follow the procedure above to fix.
NuVision TM101A510L
Will this method work with the NuVison TM101A510L. It seems like a lot of work to do if I'm not sure about this model. Also I have a problem with this model overheating and crashing when I play Pixel Gun 3d and it's pissing me off. I just fired off a curse filled missive to NuVision support. They don't even list this model on their registration page and it seems they have no faith in this model. I will never buy this brand again, in fact I would recommend against it to my customers. I've used Azpen tablets with no problem rooting or playing Pixel Gun 3d. I took a chance and I'm so damned sorry I did.
;angry
Thank you so much for this thread!!! I have been looking for a recovery for a few months now and cant believe I didn't find this until now...
ok so a minor problem... I cant seem to flash the recovery... Not sure if ive placed the recovery file on my sd card properly or not cause i locate a few backup files none of which have any effect. I gave up in frustration untill now. ( Currrently working on a few androids one rooting one imea changing so figured id take a crack at these devices again. THe layer of dust on these things are getting a bit thick.)

I think the models numbers are specific so I can't say for certain that this will work with your tab. Try the fastboot/rooting procedure first and then maybe you can just restore the system partition only not corrupting the boot/kernel.

You are using the fastboot method correct? If the recovery script says finished as in no errors show on the screen then it could be the device itself. What do you see?

ill let you know just as soon as i can get back to working on those devices... im prety sure if memory serves correctly, that I was getting some errors regarding unable to mound sd or ext sd. I could be wrong but thats what comes to mind.
Im up to my neck in jobs on other devices. (rooting galaxy S5, changing imei on another S5, IMEI change on a LG Stylo 2 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 system issues need to diagnose, and several screen and lcd replacments)
STUCK
ok so i have a little time to work on these....
When i run the launch.bat and get to fastboot, it goes through the instalation and everything checks ok till the very end where it says failed cause too many links.
included the screenshot so you can see.
At this point im unsure if i just need to try flashing the supersu zip like it instructs but having tried befor it had no luck.
can I not just flash twrp on this thing then su like with most root methods?
after ive flashed super su, when i go to restor the working backup i see a list of backups... including yours but when i select it i always get :
checking md5 sums...
md5 mismatch!
what now?
(i tried just flashing the boot but even that comes back with same error)
I know on other devices the recovery is an img file any the one you provide is a rar... i extracted to my desktop and was gonna try flashing with abd/fastboot but since its not an img file, im thinking it wont work...
any thoughts?
Im still unsure how to flash the recovery that u supply in the section for fixing bootloop....

The too many links error is common for this device. Touch doesn't work with TWRP on this device so CWM is out only go. You can root and using cwm like any other root method.
Hi. I bought the Mercury Pro 7" prosumer tablet back in 2014. I installed a google account on it, forgot the password, beat the 10 opportunities, account (and RCA tablet) locked.
Soon after that, I tried to "hard reset" and "factory reset" this tablet, with all the things I found at the moment through forums, but everytime it came to restart, it will lock itself because I forgot my password and it will not allow me to enter nor my gmail account or any other password at all (no text dialogue).
A friend took it to some "expert android shop", but they never got to fix the small tablet (needless to say).
I remember the tablet came with Marshmallow (Android 6?).
It's 2021, and I thought to find the original ROM Image for this device. But tough luck, I haven't found one (from all the forums I've read, you either need to short-circuit or download a similar clone image for the processor and cross fingers so the wifi modem picks up the .img drivers).
In all and all, if anyone of you would be so kind to help me out with this 7+ year plead: I'd like to fix this tablet in 2021, please. Help me out.
The tablet can be switched on, but Loops itself in the "Mercury Pro" logo, after the dogs logo.
The tablet runs out of battery. I charge it up so that it can be turned "on" just 1 time and 1 time only, to access the Bootload menu by power + volume up.
The times I do this procedure, I wipe clean the dalvik cache, user cache, system cache, set the device to factory reset, and reboot after that.
Again, the 2 dog logo appears, but the tablet stops at the Mercury Pro logo in a loop.
Reset pinhole helps to enter the tablet's "hard reset" (power+volume up) boot menu. It reads:
Android Recovery v1.2
RCT6673W-V1MKC-Android6.0-v08-v1.15.0
- Reboot system now
- Reboot to bootloader
- Apply Update from ADB
- Apply update from SD card
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe Cache partition
- Backup user data
- Restore user data
- Root integrity check
- Mount / System
- view recovery logs
- Power off
(Supported API: 3)
In the remote case the so-called "android repair" shop installed a bad rom on this hardware, what are my chances to Factory reset - re-flash the original stock rom for this device?
The Screen works normally, this tablet doesn't have a hardware fail of any kind, it just loops-boot after the 2 dogs logo into "Mercury pro".
I've checked the tablet internally, there are no burnt connections or anything out of the ordinary. Hardware is intact.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Is this device also known as mercury tab 7?
@viktorrios
In the linguistic world of Android users, they often use the term "hard reset" for "factory reset", which means that the device is reset to the state it was in when it was launched. In official serious usage, there is no "hard reset" for Android devices.
Your issue is that phone is stucking at boot logo. That can't get fixed doing a "Factory Reset" or even by means of ADB and/or Fastboot. IMO you've to re-flash phone's Stock ROM what can be achieved if phone is accessible by means of ADB - what requires USB debugging got enabled on phone.

ok. this is one step forward.
Thank you for your reply.
I found this site, but it doesn't have the stock rom:
ROMs | RCA
Be careful download your stock rom from unverified/ unofficial websites. May contain malware
What makes me wonder is; I can access the fastboot menu, I can CLEARLY read the entire log, but the OS is not reached during boot (logo loop). What makes it possible that I have a corrupted library?
Also: If I could find the stock rom and flash it from an SD card: How possible is it from the fastboot menu?
For anyone else who is reading this thread, here's another site with ROMs:

I found an explanation of one of the errors:
I: no boot messages
I: Open /cache/recovery/comand fail error= no such file or directory locale is [(null)]
stage is []
fb0 reports (possibly inaccurate)
The Unable to open DRM node: No such file or directory issue seems to indicate that there is no DRM driver running on your device (or that it failed to initialize). DRM support is a prerequisite for using this tool, as you can see. Most platforms supported by cedrus should also have DRM support, so you probably need to enable it in your kernel config and/or in the board's device-tree file.
Closing since this is not an issue of the tool but a setup issue instead.
I think I need to upload the entire message Log, maybe someone could help. So far I already know the "driver" is not booting and there is no mount of the OS. Everything else is there, and ready to receive an image. It seems the tablet was so wiped off that it doesn't even have an OS.

For anyone else reading, I remember I got this RCA tablet from Amazon years ago. They were out of stock. Recently they are selling the item again: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Keyboard-Marshmallow-Charcoal-RCT6873W42KC/dp/B01M7TSY16
And guess what?
All along the ROM version my tablet had (from the so -called-experts in Android store in my story) put the wrong ROM version.
So Amazon indicated it is: RCT6873W42KC the rom.
Googling, I found: https://naijarom.com/rca-rct6873w42m
And the site looks legit. The scatter file is there and everything matches 1 to 1 to the STOCK image.
This site also has links: https://androidmtk.com/download-rca-stock-rom-for-all-models
My question now:
Whenever I plug the USB cable in my computer, (even after installing the ADB drivers), it says that windows 10 cannot recognize the USB device.
I am ready to flash using the SP Flash tool and the ROM file, but I can't -for the love of me- make contact from the PC to the tablet.
Could anyone help me with some work around suggestions, please?
Also: Why can't I just drag-drop all scatter ROM image to the microSD and Boot from recovery using "Apply update from SDCard"?
Ok so far everything was going full sail until I hit this brick road: Apparently I need a better USB cable. I've tried 3 different USB cables, but the device becomes unstable on win10 (switches on and off, and the "connected USB" sound dingles every 10 seconds.
Please help.

Is the stock rom for your device?
And the reason you can't just apply update from SD card is that the scatter rom doesn't have Meta inf and updater script. So the recovery can't install that
Yes, I checked this is the CORRECT Stock Rom for the RCA 7" Tablet Mercury Pro
I've also installed the "legacy hardware drivers":

After you installed the drivers did you restart you Computer?
No, I didn't restart the computer. Let me do that.
I also tried the "newest" micro USB to USB cable I have...
I hope this works.
This is a driver problem. https://tehnotone.com/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/ check this guide out. Don't use the drivers from the above site, just use the driver you instslled
