I have managed to get ICS 4.0.3 nearly working on my Scroll Essential (generic 7" 1.2Ghz, 512mb DDR3, 4GB, Resistive touchscreen) tablet, however the only problem is the touch screen driver.
I can't seem to get it working - I have the one from the stock 2.3 rom but no idea how to make it word with ICS.
I am quite noobish at this stuff but if anyone has any pointers they would be appreciated...a starting point.
Anyone?
interested in this...
hi i'm new to this, but i'd be interested in knowing steps/files for getting ICS on this tablet, i've got the 53511 model, can then start looking into screen problem too ?
Hello,
Much to my surprise, my Toshiba Excite 7.7 received Jelly Bean last night.
Version 4.1.1000121313.01
About 360MB
It is a virtually unaltered version of JB. Some Google apps were updated: You Tube, Google Magazines, etc.
The tablet does have a better Quadrant score.
However:
1) The JB "Phablet Mode" is now the default
2) Toshiba did not fix the varying brightness while using the browser issue
3) The Super AMOLED+ screen is still not calibrated very well (look at any B&W picture)
Even so, I am thankful that Toshiba has provided a current update on a tablet that may have been left for dead.
Enjoy! Other major OEMs should really learn from them!
Sent from the zombie world. No they aren't coming yet!
I bought mine a few days ago as a Nexus 7 successor, main reason was the much better and bigger screen and the build quality.
Off course I was very sceptical wrt 4.0 VS. 4.2, especialy because I dont had any small hope that the "Silent Tablet Newby Toshiba" will announce or even release a newer Android Version anytime.
But now, Long Story short: Thumbs Up Toshiba!
Looking forward for an European Release for the "Toshiba AT270 7.7"
Cheers

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

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

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

Bonjour, avez-vous trouvé une façon de passer à JellyBean ?

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

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

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

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

Hello,
I don't know how to capture the update. The tablet, to the best of my knowledge, has never been rooted. ICS may have been a better firmware. I think the phablet mode is terrible.
hey guys i got a cnm touchpad 9.7 for christmas but when i updated the firmware from their website it left the screen with white lines, the touch works but there is no display any help?

hi
u resolv this problem ?? if not , let me know
As above. All the tablets use the RK3066 chipset with similar hardware. I have flashed the M1 version to my M3, but the screen is garbled. Could any developer tell me what I would need to change to be able to support a different resolution?
I`m no stranger to ubuntu etc. All I want to do is change the resolution so it is viewable on a 10.1 inch tablet rather than the 9.7(?) inch of the M1.
Thanks in advance!
I'd recomend posting it on the ROM page.
