Hello,
just got a Samsung Galaxy S in China (under the name of samsung GT-I9008) and use it with China Telecom as the carrier/operator
Specs as follows
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
Kernel : 2.6.29 Zeus 1
To my biggest disappointment, the phone doesnt come with Android market but with the Mobile phone operator own device called MM ( Mobile Market) which is only in Chinese !! and very limited in terms of applications you could download.
Is there any way I could install instead Android Market ?
Many thanks in advance for your reply
Christophe
I have the same problem in middle east.
Any help please.
I helped a friend with the same phone. Basically do the following:
1. Download and install z4root
2. Download the Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B)
3. Open up the update.zip file and get Vending.apk out of \system\app\ and copy to SD card using UMS mode.
4. Use File Explorer on the phone to copy the file from /sdcard to /data/app
5. Reboot
Any luck installing Google Apps on i9008 (Samsung Galaxy S for TD-SCDMA)?
Guys,
I followed the instructions posted on this thread and other sites, to help a friend who recently bought this phone. Successfully rooted the phone. Installed the Google Apps as instructed, but they all are malfunctioning to the point of being unusable.
- Gmail - only works OK with one account, will not allow extra accounts
- Google Maps - zooming does not function
- YouTube - does not even start
- Market - gets stuck at 0% download point for any downloaded apps
If someone managed to install any (or all of these) Google Apps on their i9008, I would be grateful for instructions on how to properly install.
thanks!!
I installed after updating the official ROM to the latest version. This is 2.1 eclair rather than 2.0 based so may explain why it doesn't work for some people. In that case, using the cyanogenmod 4 gapps files may work.
Another possibility is that not all files were copied from the extracted update.zip to the relevant places under /system (yes, it is /system, not /data as I mentioned in my last post)
These would be /system/app, /system/framework etc.
I daresay that you'll need to copy all files from the folders in update.zip over to the right places. I had to delete some of the Chinese apps to make space for all gapps.
Tell me if it works for you. Cheers.
Hi ,
thanks for your input! As I am not at all an expert on technical stuff and do not want to have my phone no longer working, please let me recap :
- I have downloaded the file z4root.1.3.0.apk --> then i have to install it on my SD card and launch the application?
- Checked to download the "Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B) and it appears on ur link that there are dozens of different files according to phone models but none for the Samsung GT I-9008. Kindly let me know which one to consider.
Did your friend with the same phone eventually managed to have all google apps including the english android market by doing such installation?
Again, the specs of my phone are :
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
Much appreciate your help !
Best
Christophe
Yes, we did manage to get the English market (and many Google apps) running properly.
With zroot, install then run it, choose the permanent root option. It'll reboot the phone to finish the rooting.
The gapps version you need to download is listed in the Cyanogenmod 5 row (android 2.1 or eclair based) and is under the HDPI column (means high dots per inch, or just a high resolution display as the i9008 has). Any of the links in that entry should be fine if they work.
I have realised that in my last post, I mentioned copying to /system/app. This is not possible unless you do the following:
Get http://androidterm.googlecode.com/files/Term.apk install same way as zroot.
Run it then type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Quit out of it then copy the extracted contents of update.zip to the corresponding directories under /system using file explorer.
Same thing happened to me w/
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
I had to follow the instructions above
thanks for your input..
Is your phone also operated by China Mobile ? was told that it was not possible to root the GT I-9008 being operated by China Mobile.
Anyhow, will try and follow above process.
Well I have watched an interview for Galaxy S2 and they showed a new technology in it...And told that they are challenging the Android market as Android challenged the Iphone...
How about this? Any news?
Hi, now I need some help...
I playing with my China Mobile I9008 yesterday, and as I trying without sucess to find a way to install the market, I think I installed a wrong version of clockworkmod, now my I9008 is bricked (I think). Its starts but after first screen (where's appears I9008 name and so on) the boot come back to ophone screen and keep in this looping more than 20 times... full wipe and others doesn't work
In my mind if I apply again the update.zip can solve, but my file having problems showing erros, can not read the file, etc...
I tryed to find this file but I have no success...
Someone can help me? have some update.zip to my i9008ZMJI1 firmware version?
Thanks.
Install factory image
Ok, I've been trying to find a way to install CM (and the market app) onto my GT-I9008L and have managed to nearly brick my phone a number of times. The only thing I have succeeded in is rooting my phone (use Z4root) and installing a fresh factory image.
(I apologize for broken links, XDA doesn't trust me to post clickable links yet)
To install a fresh factory image:
a) Get the software from this Chinese thread: bbs.dkdiy.net/thread-12788-1-1.html
--The first message in the thread has a link to a RAR file that contains everything you need. Including all the tools & the image itself
--To see the link you'll have to create an account and post to the thread
--I was able to do it by using a combination of google chrome and google translate to work my through the free registration process.
b) run Odin v1.81 (I've tried other versions of Odin...they don't work)
c) select the files shown in this image: www .dkdiy.net/article.asp?id=633
d) the file versions in the image don't match the RAR file. The key is put the CSC file into the CSC blank, the CP file in the "phone" blank, the "all low" file into the PDA blank and the PIT file into the PIT blank
e) make sure you have selected the checkboxes in the image
f) start your phone by holding volume-down+home+power
g) when you see the yellow android digging plug your phone into your computer (you may need the samsung drivers)
h) wait for odin to detect your phone (the first box under ID:COM will turn yellow and list the com-port that your phone is connected to)
i) hit start, wait about 3 minutes, you will see the progress bar update every 5-10 seconds
j) it will auto reboot and finish the installation
To root your phone I followed the instructions on this chinese thread (use google chrome to get an instant translation):
ibbs.91.com/thread-53590-1-1. html
DUDE!!!
I think i got some good news.
I have the same problem with my new S2 bought in China, no Android market. I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.
It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.
I find the hint here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
So what i did and what you can try is:
1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)
2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find
3) Launch Android Market
The change for me is i can now input my account login. But it still fails connecting to google to actually login. Maybe because i'm still in china and it blocks the connection.
Could any one try this outside china and tell me if it works?
Cheers
EDIT:
By connecting my APN and Wifi (instead of wifi alone) i managed to finally loggin. I HOW NOW ACCESS TO ANDROID MARKET !!!
But not so fast. I have access to the market, but i get an error when downloading an app. So it is still not working, but getting closer. I sent an e-mail to google see if they can fix this (seems my account and my device are still not linked). Waiting for the reply...
Alright it's working now !!!
After exchanging a couple e-mail with google, i managed to download some apps.
I've been testing it for a couple hours now, works like a charm.
Hello,
Had this working ok on my HSG X5A-G but with a few added libs it does pretty good on the Coby 7015. Please only do this if you have some experience and use Root Explorer or know what to do in Terminal or adb. This may not work for you but it does work if you follow these instructions:
1) Download all needed files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0xdwq6fae45b3cq
2) Extract the 5 files (2 apps and 3 libs) and transfer them to your tablet however you see fit
3) Use Root Explorer to move all 3 lib files to /system/lib then change each of them to reflect the permissions of RW-,R--,R-- (they must match all the other lib files)
4) Install both apps normally using any file explorer or installation apps
5) REBOOT YOUR TABLET!
Open your browser (stock application) and start surfing the net. Do not attempt to go to a flash site immediatly. After you have browsed a few pages you can go to a site like: Show My Flash Player Version and it should return a version of AFL 9,1,122,0 (FlashLite version 9). If it returns this you are set and can start browsing flash sites. I have not had more than a few minutes of testing and I seem to remember there were several sites that do not work since it is FlashLite but it is a start. One of my favorit flash test sites is: Muffin Films by Amy Winfrey , I am not sure why but the short films are funny. If your tablet lags, give it some time to adjust to the new plugin. For some reason the first few times you use flash it takes longer to load and run. No you can't use Hulu or HBO but there are lots of flash sites out there other than these two.
FlashLite runs very well on the Coby tablet but if you are using any CPU software make sure your min speed is not lower than 500 and of course your max is not above 720 because Telechips refuses to release enough sources to compile a kernel. I gave up on that a long time ago... Also a cache cleaner is a good idea to have.
Cheers

5. Switch on your phone, you will see Google Play Store app, and Enjoy !
*UPDATE 2* Here is a custom firmware ( most of functions are working and rooted ) , all credits to yiminghung and angelobiz, as usual general instruction and faster links are brought to you by zBeYuz
0. How To Flash Haipai Noble I9220 Firmware On YouTube By Angelobiz
1. Before upgrade to this firmware, remember to backup all your apps using My Backup or Titanium Backup so that we can restore those apps later.
Download ADB driver if you have not installed it ( Tested on Windows 7 )
You must have debug usb active in your phone. this driver need for use adb command example for root script or use MTP function.
2. Download firmware + flashing tool + drivers from here: May 7 Firmware With New System.img
OR Only Driver For Haipai I9220: Drivers
3. Unrar the firmware, turn off your phone and take the out battery, then plug the phone into your PC.
4. Install the driver from the firmware folder that you unrar before, then plug out the phone.
5. a) Go to Flashtool folder and run SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
b) Choose Factory Database --> Setup data source file: "MTK_DATABASE.mdb"
c) Choose File --> Open download agent file: "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
d) Choose Scatter File: "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" in Firmware folder.
e) Choose the figure same as the picture: SmartPhone MPD.jpg, which can be found in Firmware folder.
6. Make sure the phone turned off and the battery was taken out. Click Start All and plug your phone into the PC then wait about 5-10 minutes for the flashing process to finish ( Write OK ! ).
7. After it is done, we are good to change the IMEI. However, before that try to turn on the phone to see whether the phone is working or not.
8. If everything is ok, excepted IMEI was missing, download IMEI Changer Tool from here: IMEI Changer For Mtk6575
9. Unrar, install the program and run SN_STATION, which can be found on your desktop. Follow the instruction in the Chinese manual, but we only need to follow the picture in that manual.
The file "Modem Database" and "AP Database" is in firmware folder. You need to choose exactly the file that you see in the picture.
10. Write down two IMEIs on the back of your phone ( you need to take the battery out to see it ).
11. Again turn off your phone and take the battery out, then plug the phone into your PC, but this time we need to put the battery back in very quickly as soon as we see:
"COM port searching and preloader handshake ok" on SN Writer Log.
11. Wait until "Write Result Indicator" becomes green, then the IMEI has changed successfully.
OR you can try to change your IMEIs by using ZOPO IMEI ( Thanks to colouriste )
1. REMOVE SIM CARD(S) FIRST !
2. Check "Dual Imei"
3. Type in original IMEI #'s 1 & 2 and then
4. Click "Write"
Enjoy the new firmware with GPS working, wifi improved, front camera working, beautiful font and more...

Tips + Tricks:
1. Thanks mikeysteele: "One thing I noticed after installing Set CPU is the kernel defaults to the Performance Governor. This means the CPU is always running at the maximum frequency so that might explain the poor battery life. I changed it to the On Demand governor and my battery life has improved."

Hi I would like to update some information about this phone,
1. The resolution of the screen is 800x480.
2. The original battery with 2800mAH capacity is so so, normal usage about 1 -2 days. On the battery stated that the cell made in Japan, yet finished in China.
3. The phone comes with the case with Samsung logo on it, together with a screen protector (not really good).
4. Additional infomation:
a) The front camera is on the left hand side, which is quite bad, because the Galaxy Note's is on the right side.
b) 3.5mm audio port is very depth, I have no idea why, so normal headphone or earphone like Beats Monster,for example, will be loose. But we still can use the one comes with the phone.
c) Camera is 8Mp and the picture looks quite nice if there is enough light.
d) It runs very smooth without any issues.
e) There is no touch pen.
f) Android 4.0.3 without Google Play or Market, Youtube, Google Map.
g) The camera sometime has a noise, like tac tac, when the apps need to use it ?!
At the end ? I still like it and I will try to update other good and bad points later if I can find any
*Update on 17/05/12*
h) After a long usage, the phone using original rom sometime can't rotate the screen even the "auto rotate option" was on.
--> Solution: Remove the battery and put in back in 30s, the phone will be functional as normal.

Please share this with us!
I received this same device today. It is not dual core, see: http://dualsim-smartphone.com/img/smartphone/i9220_mtk6575_dualsim_8.jpg
If any vendor claims it is so, what they are referring to is that it has both a 'normal' cpu plus a graphics chip. This is normal and its not the same as dual core!
Neither is the display qHD, as that would be 960x540. This device is 800x480. The display is... mediocre. I don't find the low density to be an issue, but a grainy texture is visible on light areas, e.g. the background in the Messaging app. Colour accuracy is also pretty bad: you get what you pay for.
FWIW I arrived here by googling DF-BPA-13 as I have the same issue. My temporary solution is to load apks onto the microsd on my old phone, then install those through "File Manager"
Thank you, guys. I will update my post above.
Btw, Does anybody hear anything about customised and rooted rom for this phone ?
To richardkemp, can you teach me how to recognize a dual-core phone ?
I thought all the mtk6575 phones were the dual-core phone.
Thanks in advanced.
@zbeyuz: The picture I linked above is from the link you provided in your first post. The first line of the results on the left hand screen shows "Number of cores: 1". Further the vendor correctly lists the chipset as the Mediatek MTK6575. Googling this might bring you (eventually!) to Mediatek's product page for this chipset. You can be sure that if it were actually dual core, the manufacturer would want to tell you about it: they mention no such thing.
Something I noticed while browsing chinese phone websites was that different sellers would provide different specifications for the same devices. Some would claim that a chip was dual core, by counting the presence of a separate main processor and graphics processor as if it was 'dual core'), and some would claim higher chip speed, e.g. 1GHz main processor + 500mhz graphics processor = 1.5GHz total. This is misleading and nothing more than a sales tactic.
It's a shame there's so much misinformation, the vendor I purchased my Haipad from marketed it as having an AMOLED screen, which it plainly doesn't.
As for ROMs, I'm gonna get stuck in to some ROM cooking once my exams are over, but that won't be for another month. In the mean time, I sure would appreciate any tips on getting root. To save anyone checking, SuperOneClick doesn't work.
Additional info on the device:
- Screen is capable of detecting 5 simultaneous multitouch points
- (In the UK at least) Network location does not work. Google maps cannot find my location from cell towers, or from my Wifi. GPS does work however.
- My device came without Android market installed, and as mentioned above, does not work once it is installed.
- Either the proximity sensor or the light sensor (top left by the front camera) flashes faint red constantly when the screen is on. Not a big issue but slightly distracting. The values reported by the prox sensor are just 0 and 1, no middle ground.
- The light sensor reports only 3 light levels: 160, 1200 and 2600. This makes automatic backlight pretty rubbish.
- The speed of the phone is fine - I will add some benchmarks later. Right now it's a pain in the butt since I can't get the benchmark apps from the market.
- WiFi signal seems weaker than I'm used to - my reference devices are my desktop PC, my Fujitsu ST5112 Win7 tablet, my (retired) HTC Desire, and my girl's Samsung Galaxy Y Pro and Asus Win7 Ultrabook. These all received moderate to good WiFi signal in my room from my WNDR3700 N router, all capable of streaming video at this distance. The Haipad on the other hand shows weak signal in the notification bar, and subjectively it is much slower than when it is downstairs nearer the router, a bit of a disappointment here.
- Lots of info on the device is available by starting the "EngineerMode" activity belonging to the "EngineerMode" package. This can be done by making a homescreen shortcut with a third party launcher (eg Nova), and choosing to add an activity shortcut. I recommend only look, don't modify any settings in case you break something!
- I don't know if it's just me but I find the overscroll elasticity way too 'loose'. If I flick a list hard and it hits the end, it takes a long time for the list to settle into the correct position. I look forward to being able to tweak this...
- The battery seems to charge quite slowly. I know it's large so getting to full charge would take longer than with a standard battery, but I am used to large batteies - I used a 2200mAh battery in my HTC Desire and I'm pretty sure it charged faster (using the same charger). Of course a factor in this will be that I have had the device active with the screen on almost constantly, so a lot of power is being diverted to that.
- My phone is capable of connecting to my network (t-mobile)'s proper 3G service, but seems to sometimes choose a 2G service instead, even when there is just as good 3G signal.
Will update this with more as I think of them.
zbeyuz, you say your camera is on the left, I presume you mean the front camera? the main/rear camera is right in the middle.
@richardkemp: Thank you for your quick reply. I did mean the camera in the front is on the left. The main camera is right in the middle, yes.
However, last time, when I tried to put on the Galaxy Note's case, the main camera didn't fit in the right position of the case. Maybe, because the screen was bigger than the real Galaxy Note's, I think ?
Update: The default browser of phone ran quite fast even there was a low wireless signal, but the browser didn't have back and forward button, is that right ?

This is from my seller and it works.
1.Please download root file on
www.t-kstore.com/4.0root.rar
2.Go to*setting-developer options-click USB debugging
3.Connect the phone with computer,turn on usb device.
4.Click the file you download from the link TPSparkyRoot.bat*
5.Your phone will restart first time,after the phone start finish(until you see the unlock),click enter in the window of TPSparkyRoot.bat.
6.The phone will restart second time,still the same as first time we did.Then start third time,same as we did in last two*times.Click enter,then phone was rooted.
7.You will see two more app was installed in your phone,that mean root phone successfully.
After successfully rooted, it will install rootexplorer.apk Chinese version which is rather useless for installing Market because it's all in Chinese. You should be able to find Filexpert.apk from the web, and install it.
Here is how to install Google Play Store:
1. Download Vending.apk from http://downloads.androidadvices.com/apks/Vending.3.3.12.apk
2. copy Vending.apk to \system\app\ folder in your phone by using Filexpert in RW mode
3. change permission of Vending.apk file to Read/Write for Owner; Read for others
4. shutdown your phone.
5. switch on your phone, you will see Google Play Store app, and enjoy!
Did anyone mange to get GPS working ? I tried with Google Maps, but fail.
Thanks a bunch bthoven. I took the liberty of tidying up the script a bit, and including the latest Google Play Store and an English root file manager (Filexpert, as you suggested).
I put it on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?qnmvebaa3k8usjw
Same instructions as before, just extract the archive and run TPSparkyRoot.bat with your phone connected by usb cable, and USB debugging mode enabled. If you wish you can disable USB debugging mode once this process is done.
Beware that the play store I included is the mod version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422, to allow you to access apps without region restrictions. In future we can properly set the phone's region in build.prop should remove the need for this temporary fix. That's for another day..

Hi, I am creating this thread for anyone who purchases the Ampe A85q Quad Core.
I got mine from FocalPrice Singapore for £70 (inc a £5 discount) just over a week ago and it runs great, at times so I am now looking at improving it, where possible and with the blessing of XDA here, I will post as much info as I can and hopefully do a few things to it, to make it better. I have already found some information out that I will share but having never replaced an existing Rom and such, I am hoping some help is available to guide where necessary.
Today my daughter bought it to me, it had locked up and crashed in an ON state. After a long-hold power, it switched off and switched back on as normal. I then factory reset it and then changed the language and disabled Google PinYin.
Confusingly, the Ampe website (szampe.com) shows the tablet labelled as a A8003QD but another googled site shows it listed as both. Having checked the makers site and specs I see it must be the same tablet. As this tablet is quite new, there are very few results for it.
Official link : http://www.szampe.com/en/Products_show.asp?id=180&i=4
Supporting site showing matching model number : tattoo-ipl.com/productsshow.asp?id=1619
Szampe is now offering a A8003QD Ampe Firmware Update, direct link :
2013/7/24 - http://www.szampe.com/UploadFile/file/2011-08/0335.rar (525MB) #Note I am yet to try this and will add any eventual outcome to this thread.
The download just finished. The rar file contains
FOLDER : A8003QD 爱魅 改乐投风格、4K不支持4个窗口播放的软件20130427 (translated = A8003QD love charm happy to vote to change style, 4K does not support 4 Window Play Software 20130427)
------ and contains >>>> aimei_anpei8003_a31s_v2.0_4.1.1_20130429_[1024x768_ctp兼容_双Camera0308_gsensor兼容_ddr360].img
FOLDER : 全志A31升级工具安装 (translated = Allwinner A31 upgrade tool is installed)
------ and contains >>>> 升级指南（A31主控）.doc (translated = Upgrade Guide (A31 Master))
------ and contains >>>> PhoenixUSBPro_Cn_V330_20121204.rar
------ and contains >>>> PhoenixSuitPacket-V1_0003Beta.rar
------ and contains >>>> PhoenixSuitPacket.msi
Having converted and translated the above .doc file I see some instructions on what to do, however some of the instructions appear to be missing. I need to get this done better so it can be followed properly.
Problems :
Rom language - The tablet came with English setup already. A factory reset changes this back to Chinese.
Keyboard is set to English UK.
Google PinYin can and is now disabled
Some of the features are still in Chinese and I cannot see a way to change them.
Some lag on boot up lasting for a while but appears to stop until put in sleep mode which starts again for a while.
As mentioned above a freeze/crash and black screen then remained after the sleep mode kicked in. Had to long-hold power to turn it off, when I switched it back on, it seems back to normal. I suspect this was caused by some app or other one of my kids installed.
Hopefully I can get this update done and see if things are better and if not, consider a rom replacement. #reboot required now as the windows installer is playing up as I cancelled the first pheonix installer to look for any newer and english version. Back later today.
Edit :
Managed to get through the firmware update and am now going to check it out to see if anything has improved. I think it may be best to give this a couple of days of letting the kids do their thing as well as my own. Of course I will update this again.
update : So after a few hours letting the kids do stuff and having a bit of a play myself, this firmware update really has improved the tablets running qualities. For example, the usage immediately after boot / browsing / gaming / pattern and face recognition unlock all seem to run flawlessly now. The face rec unlock used to sometimes not even load and go str8 to pattern, 30% of the time it wouldn't recognise me and was laggy to happen in most cases. This now runs rapid, loads every time and I think due to lighting and moving around the room, only failed to recognise me, once out of around 10 tries. I tried a game or two with the kids and found reactions were spot on every time, to screen touches. The kids felt it was running nicely now too.
Again, if I find anything contrary to this, i will add another update below.

At the moment, the tablet doesn't seem to be bloated with much un-needed software although I could probably look deeper and find some. Hwoever this is the part that is something I would love to know how to get rid of or change and is making me think about custom roms, if you look at the image above.

I'm looking at various launchers at this moment. I'm toying with the idea for now.
The build number even though dated last week on the offiicial site for this tablet, is
fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130427 test-keys as shown in the img filename
I'm a little confused as to what has happened here. I checked the img file modified date on my pc and it indeed says it was last modified in April. Whatever has happened, the tablet is running much better, noticed by myself and the kids, so far.
thanks.
Maybe before you have an old firmware.
I try to install on mine but impossible , i don't remember message.
here is my rom original http://www.szsanei.com/support_down.asp?id=1056

I am now still running the 24/July rom I found (see post one) and it seems better but not perfect. It seems like a need for TRIM as regards the problems with lag and crashing (trim or not, I am unsure of crashing part) when I reboot the tablet most problems are solved.
I do think we could do with a better rom, to be honest. I have not tried the roms mentioned by others on this thread.
Name: N83 quad-core version of the firmware

Hi. Since I last posted, my tablet seems to have nose dived into regurgitated mdoe. I can factory restore it using the Pheonix tool and a rom and it works but then WIFI refuses to enable and not long after changnig the language and disabling pinyin, it simply reboots and stays at the chinese boot up screen. I'm now trying the rom quoted above as it might solve the problem but I think there may be a hardware issue. When I do manage to get it worknig, it states 1GB of memory instead of what it should be, 8GB - tax
I am a little worried now as I have heard returning this tablet to where I purchased it, can be a pointless nightmare which is an awful thought as I have just ordered a dual core for my daughter and that has already had shipping issues that are making it an extra week late already.
I contacted them but either they are ignorant or just plain stupid.
Just got one of these - Few Problems
Hi all, Just got one of these tabs for my little boy but have a few problems.
1: Wifi is extremely poor, I have a N600 router and everything wifi can use it but this tab can only connect if i am in the room
as the router, then its painfully slow.
2: Does this have bluetooth, Downloaded a hardware tester and it says no bluetooth.
Currently running this
Current rom: fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130427
Kernel Version: 3.3.0 [email protected]
Firmware Version: 2.0
Android Version: 4.1.1
Model: A85 Q
I have found a newer rom: fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130429, anyone tried it, any improvements on the wifi.

Can someone who has already flashed new firmware please give me clear instruction on how to do it as I don't understand the Chinese instruction in the manual and the program is also in Chinese so cant tell what I am pressing.

AMPE internal storage =0 and can't flash rom
I have a AMPE A85Q quad core android tablet running 4.1.1 os. Recently, I rooted the tablet using Z4Root despite warnings from my anti-virus AVG saying that Z4Root is a Malware. (I have used Z4Root before on another tablet before without problem). After confirming that I have temporarily rooted the tablet, I thought I return the tablet back to the original state by unrooting the tablet. Everything works fine until I shutdown and restarted the tablet the next day. The tablet factory resetted itself and I lost all my downloaded applications. I tried to download applications again, and it just hung. I then noticed the internal storage is zero. I factory reset it again via the tablet Settings, but the internal storage remains as 0.
So I started this journey get my tablet to the original state, after 2 days of research and experimentation on that subject matter, I have made some discoveries. There are many android users out there having this problem, ie, Internal storage is 0.
The solution provided by many experience users, appears to be quite simple, just copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin.
As I could not access / directory, so from my PC, I downloaded Root_Explorer_v2.17.2.apk into my extsd card, and using my tablet File Manager to installed it. All went well. I then discovered my tablet does not have busybox installed. I thought perhaps, I can find a busybox.apk, I can install it via the extsd card. No luck, there is no a such apk.
I decided at this point, I must flash my ROM. On the website, they recommend backing all the data and apps before flashing, but I have already lost everything, and I can't install any new applications, so I can go ahead and flash the rom.
Since I'm doing this for the first time, I read many articles on the web. And, yes, there were users out there who had successfully fixed the problem by flashing the Rom.
My tablet rom version is fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1master 20130517 test-keys .
I found this rar from the AMPE home site.
szampe.com/UploadFile/file/2011-08/0335.rar (525MB)

At the same site, I also found the latest ROM 0381.rar (497.07MB) which has the same release date as my ROM. The rar file contains two folders:
FOLDER : A85?|?? contains aimei_anpei8003_a31s_v2.0_4.1.1_20130517.img (789.09 MB0
and FOLDER : -A31??? (As above the ?s represents chinese characters) contains PhoenixSuitPacket-V1_0003Beta.rar and ????A31???.doc (110.5kb)
PhoenixSuitPacket-V1_0003Beta.rar contains PhoenixSuitPacket.msi (12.33mb)
Why they have a rar file within another rar file, I do not logically understand. Maybe that's the reason, I can't get this part to work. I cannot understand the chinese instructions in the doc file.
If they know the recovery process requires a zip file, you would think it would be sensible to upload zip file rather than rar file. Anyway, I unzipped the files from 0381.rar using RootExplorer and copy the img, doc and msi files into a folder called 1dir. I then zipped the 1dir as 1dir.zip. I have to re-zip the files so that the recovery program can find the zip file.
In the tablet Settings>>Backup & reset>>Recovery Mode, I pressed Reboot into the system in Recovery Mode. Using the volume down key moved to highlighted “apply update from external storage” and select 1dir.zip from extsd.
...On my tablet screen display:

. Tried the earlier version 0355.rar. Same result.

. Tried zipping aimei_anpei8003_a31s_v2.0_4.1.1_20130517.img with RootExplorer. Same result.
HELP,Please.

Eureka! Fixed.
OK. Before I forget, I better document the fix. The vendor website actually has the img and the tools to flash the rom. Not understanding Chinese user's guide is my problem. Also pictures in the in the instruction shows the use of Livesuit tool instead of PhoenixSuit; this let me needlessly looking for Live Suit software to work with A31. After unzipping the 0381.rar file, there is a img file and a Window installabled msi file, PhoenixSuitPacket.msi. I copied the img and msi files to a directory in my Windows7 PC, and installed PhoenixSuit V1.003Beta. The installation is the tricky bit, because my Windows Installer does not display Chinese Characters. I was desperate enough to click on what I guessed is the "NEXT" button during the installation process. I could read that all installed files were placed in the /program(x86)/Allwinnertech folder. Once installation complete, in the folder there is a pdf file which tells you in Chinese and in pictures, how to use PhoenixSuit to flash the rom. I started PhoenixSuit. There are enough English words and pictures to understand what to do.
I powered up the tablet before connecting the tablet to the PC. The tablet immediately displayed the USB port is connected, and I chose to enable data transfer to storage. At this point, PhoenixSuit also wake up to display the version of firmware, even partially disfunctional, on the tablet. All very positive signs. I proceeded to flash the rom using my img file located in the PC using PhoenixSuit. It took less than 4 minutes, and successfully flashed the rom.
I have rechecked the Internal Storage and it is now displaying 0.99GB instead of 0. Also, Busybox reappears in /system/bin. All good.
Hope this little adventure helps someone out there.
When I'm game enough, I'll tried to re-create the problem. Was it during the rooting process using Z4Root that the problem appears? I will update again when ....
You would have experienced download failures at least once in your life.
Now I have a solution for this: HTTP Downloader, a free android app on Google play. It is an innovative solution for almost all problems that comes along with downloads.
As a recent release you will need to search Continue failed download on google play to locate the app
How it works
It can be used to request your download from any specified byte offset & up to any byte limit. This has got several advantages
1) Continue expired download links: You can request download from where you stopped. i.e. if you were downloading a file of 5.2GB and download failed at 4.9GB, you can download remaining 0.3GB using a fresh download link.
2) Continue failed download from other apps (like chrome): Even if you were downloading file on your PC, and download fails at 97%, you can download remaining 3% using HTTP Downloader on your phone. These file parts can be joined using File Joiner available on their tutorials page for free. It also houses inbuilt file joiner.
3) Overcome storage limit: Even if your internal storage is limited to 3GB and you were downloading 5GB file, you can download it as two 2.5GB parts. Download first one, transfer to PC, download other, join them. Yeay....
4) Overcome high speed quata limits: If your daily high speed data is limited to 3GB, you can download 2.5GB today, and remaining yesterday. You need not worry about download failures and link expiry.
5) Download using multiple devices: You can download first 2.5GB using one device and remaining 2.7GB from another parallelly for higher speed download. You can later join these files to get the actual file.
6) Request using custom headers & view response: This can be used as an advanced network vulnerability checking tool as you can request using custom HTTP Headers and view how server responds.

You can see a textfield asking for 'file path' on the top. Please use that to change the file name, files will be joined easily.
Sorry for trouble associated with app lags. App is not optimized for android 9. Next update will resolve the error and will be released within 2 days.
