As far as I can tell, the title says what the tablet's model is although I'm not 100% sure as it doesn't have any stickers or decals giving any clues as what it's exact model is other than it has 8GB of storage.
My brother found it in a house he was remodeling for someone. The last occupants of the house were long since gone and the owner (who my brother was doing the work for) said he could keep it and since he already has a tablet, he gave it to me.
The downsides to this are;
1. It has no SD card. But I can easily go out and buy one.
2. It's locked with a passcode and since it's original owners are long gone, there's no way to get the code.
The passcode can range from a single digit and above so guessing was obviously out of the question.
I tried looking up the recovery button sequence and after trying countless different ones that I've found, I've had no luck.
Windows 7 recognizes it as a USB Composite Device, I've tried the instuctions found in google to get it to recognize it as a tablet, but so far no luck there either. The tablet doesn't even show a prompt for USB Mass Storage when it's plugged in. It simply displays the passcode number pad.
I've considered flashing it but LiveSuite is a joke. After trying to decipher all the broken english, it wont even recognize the tablet. I found the firmware on the MaPan website after digging through all their tablet models and comparing the pictures until I found the exact match of the one I have.
Any idea how I can make this tablet usable? I have Ubuntu 12.04 in virtualbox as well if using that will make it easier.
Also, if anyone asks for pictures, I'm sorry as I don't have a camera. I have a cheap phone but it doesn't have one.

Hey guys, I need some major help...
So I was given a Impression i7 Tablet from Leader International.
I have done plenty of research on this tablet, and I do know that support is limited and problems are abundant. Here are some of the things I need help with or it if it to much trouble, I will just take it back.
When I load it, it load all the way up to the homescreen, but I have no touch screen function and the buttoms at the bottom do not light up. I have used the reset button multiple of times with no luck.
Then I have tried to install the Android Drivers Rev 4 but they seem to not install on my computer. (Windows 7)
Also has anyone been able to root this device.
I hope to get some answers. I dont want to take it back unless I have to. (I like to hack away at android devices)
Thanks Everyone!!
the tablet 7 inch have place to put sim card or only tablet 10.1 ?
the leader i7 is a rebrand of another tablet. Find that tablet and youll have your answer.
Current info on it - Android 4.1.1 and stock build - epad-10.4.4.23-20121127
I was rooted for about 2 months and had the tracking cilents frozen in titanium. About 2 weeks ago I saw a thread about the update for .23 firmware. I went and unfroze the clients and did a reboot with no problem getting the OTA update and restoring root. Before this I was able to hook up my tablet to a pc and transfer files. I didn't have need to use this function until last night when I discovered that it will no longer recognize being attached to the pc.
Essentially nothing happens. There is no sound and notification icon on the pc that a device was attached. Nothing shows up in device manager. The tablet doesn't show the USB connection icon. To make sure the usb port was good i connected my cell phone to it, bluetooth dongle, and a thumb drive. It works fine. This system runs XP with the drivers previously installed and working. I tried my laptop that runs Vista and worked fine previously when connected. Again I get the same issue. Even their Asus sync software on the pc shows no device attached. Just now I tried hooked up the tablet to my work pc and no change. That makes 3 pc's that I've attempted.
I can only think it was the firmware update. That was the only change I made to the system. Last night I did a factory reset of stock to see if a setting got messed up somewhere but there is still no connection. I probably lost root in that process and since it won't connect to the a pc, I doubt I can get that back. That is the least of my concerns though. I fear that something physical with the connector went bad that tells the OS a pc connection is occurring. Would that even be possible to happen yet work fine for charging the tablet?
Thanks for any suggestions or comments.
Yes, it is the JB update if your PC is running XP (not sure about Vista, but it's probably the same). You probably noticed that the options for USB connection in JB are limited to Media and Camera? Under JB the tablet sadly does not connect as an external drive to a XP PC anymore.
The Infinity does shows up under Windows 7 as an external device. I looked high and low, but there does not seem to be a fix for XP.
My work-around for anything I do not want in my Dropbox (which is by far the smoothest way to get something from your PC to your tablet) is using Airdroid from the play store. That app uses your WiFi network to transfer files. Works great! And no cables!
Larger files, like movies, I transfer via SD card. Truth be told - I do not really miss the USB connection anymore.

It's odd that it won't recognise a connection at all. Have you tried reflashing the full stock firmware?
Under JellyBean, XP, Vista, 7 and 8 recognise it as a Portable Media Device. My main PC runs XP SP3, so no, it's not an XP-issue.
With ICS it used to be an external drive, but sadly that ended with JB. (Which is a feature I thoroughly detest on every device including my sgs3, but alas.) Originally they deleted the feature in ICS to begin with, but for some reason it continued to work on some TF700's. Not all of them, though.
I miss UMS.... MTP drives me insane on any device. It keeps whining about literally every file format that it "is not natively compatible with the device [insert 16 more lines of text I have stopped reading because it is actually longer than the dialogue window...]" . Even .jpgs.... Which is ridiculous, as stock gallery recognises .jpgs just fine.
I mailed the tablet in for RMA and they, well someone at the center, signed for it on Friday. I tried doing the wipes and even downloaded the firmware from Asus and reinstalled it from the sd card. Nothing happens when it's connected. I got it working originally under XP following a guide somewhere on here. You have to update windows media player or something like that to end the failed driver update error. It will install the MTP support or proper drivers that are not included in XP. But yeah, now in Vista or my XP machines nothing happens and I can only assume it's hardware with the connector not recognizing a pc signal. It was working fine with JB installed before.
When I called into support their answer was RMA anyway. I had already done everything the support person was going to ask; reboot, factory reset, try different pc, make sure the usb ports work. Aside form a little screen bleed the tablet has worked without a problem until this last firmware update. There other ways for getting media to the device and that didn't concern me. It is the inability to connect the device to the pc for actions such as rooting, unlocking, or other similar functions that bother me. I had it rooted (lost now that I kept trying different wipes etc) but feared something going wrong later if I unlocked it and lost warranty. Once warrant is up this device is fair game and going unlocked for sure.
In case anyone else encounters the same problem, apparently the connector went bad on the tablet. They replaced the part under warranty. Took about 10 days in total and so far the only issues I see with the tablet is bent metal where the connector and one of the prong holes for the dock is and the screen. I assume the bent metal is from the tools used to pry open the case. The glass over the screen seems mushy and a bit popped up now on the edges. Don't know if that is something I should worry about or just expect since it was opened.
It did come back with 10.4.4.16 firmware. I was real tempted before to unlock and really let the tablet shine but hesitant now. They may not have covered the warranty repair if I did and I don't have another $500 to drop if something else goes bad that isn't minor.
No pc recgnized
I had this happen a few days ago after rom-ing ..... In win 7......
2 thoughts
1. Check in settings mk sure pc sync / connect to pc is enabled...
2. Install asus sync on ur pc
good luck

Here in the usa most states have warranty laws that void their claim that unlocking it voids the warranty...and last year the supreme court ruled that jailbreaking was legal in all 50 states, this claim by asus is clearly seen for what it is....a veiled attempt to not have to honor warranty on zillions of devices...to save their scamming butts alot of money
on std warranty repairs. Its a scam, they know it.....and now u know it....
If u unlock, your state warranty laws will in most cases still enforce your warranty...
If u threaten to file a class action suit agianst them for it, they will back down and honor your warranty....or they loose bigtime......
Asus corporate is not...your friend
HI
My wife's phone (i9300 galaxy S3) has gone wrong and it went off without battery.
I found a new battery, but it lasted only one day. I thus decided to take it for repair,
as I think that this is the charge connector that is broken, but actually, the tech told me that it was probably the motherboard,
as when it used a tool to plug it to the direct charge ports on the side, the phone only bootlooped.
Thing is:
My wife's phone wasn't using cloud or external SD,
it was not rooted.
I tried some android toolkits to connect it, but odin or adb don't detect it, so I have no chance to try and put some new kernel on it.
It has no recovery mode, and when in download mode (1st screen), it actually doesn't last long before it reboots anyway.
Choosing some option will also make it reboot.
So I think it is failed beyond software repair.
But if you have suggestion for this (the tech was at a small street stall and I don't expect him to be high level, no offense, but he seemed to only perform two repairs, screen and charge flex boards, so not much more able than me if he can't go beyond this), feel free?
So my second question is :
Does anyone know how to retrieve the internal storage of the phone without breaking it, and reinstall it in a working way on a new motherboard?
Or alternatively, on an emmc reader such as those used for raspberry cards and so on? (I don't want to put some link, I don't want my message to be filtered)
The photos on this chip are priceless for us, and I would even pay professional to retrieve these (I would prefer not having to, because money doesn't exactly come cheap to me, but I guess I won't be able to make it alone.
So if you know some repair service in Europe that would be able to perform such task, I would be grateful for your sharing of such knowledge.
I saw an alternative in malaysia, but it feels a little too far for being able to do something in case of problem.
Thanks for your attention and time.
Im posting this here in hope to get an answer to my issue.
I sold my 2 year old samsung tab T813 on ebay recently. The buyer said it kept rebooting and the battery life was bad, this had never, ever happened in 2 years of owning it. So they returned it and ebay refunded them.
The issue I have is they FRP locked the tablet to their google account. I boot it up and type the buyers phone number and it sends a code to their mobile phone. The buyer will not give me this code as she thinks I am hacking her...ie.. she is worried and unsure as to what im talking about. Anyway, the comms were fine until ebay refunded her. The moment she got refunded she ignores all my messages.
So where do I stand now in terms of getting this tablet into functioning order again?
None of my computers detect the tablet even in download mode. Well, it charges the tablet but ODIN don't recognise the tablet so I cannot flash firmware.
I have tried numerous computers, different MS operating systems, numerous odin versions, numerous micro USB cables (inc original), numerous hours with no luck.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

What Android version are you using? If it's Lollipop I may be able to help out.

I believe it was on 7.0
FRP is locked when you try modifying and playing with your system without unlocking your bootloader and Hence RIP..........
if the person (who you sold on ebay) did it, report it immediately. if you did it, so uhh.... you are responsible for that.
Solutions:
wipe internal storage and cache from recovery
rest my knowledge ends here

The last owner set up their google account during setup of the tablet.
You say wipe internal storage and cache from recovery. Don't that still render the tablet useless? ie.. will need to reload a firmware onto it? well.. another problem.. None of my micro usb cables work with odin to any of my computers. Apparently common problem on the TAB S2.
Hi all,
I wish my first post on this forum could've been under better circumstances butttt I figure better safe than sorry:
So ultimately I should've looked a little closer into this phone, but I jumped the gun wayyy to quickly on a purchase from eBay. I wasn't super concerned about condition and details because I just wanted to use the Huawei p40 camera...and I figured if this had been a knock-off with the same camera then I could make it work.
I saw it, it initially looked like a P40 Pro+, the model said P40 Plus...but I should've looked much closer at the visual details.
I get it and basically it has a random generic OS on it, slow mo doesn't work, many other things don't work.
I was originally trying to get the Huawei camera app on in and tried to connect a USB drive...that didn't work. So I connected it briefly to my linux desktop. It kept unmounting as a regular device...kept unmounting as a camera...(when it was mounted, it would say "the name is not activatable" when I tried to click on it), it also had a "virtualCDROM" option which had a PDF file in it...I was not about to open that though.
The only other thing I did, was try to download the camera app over the internet, but I used my phone's hotspot because I wasn't about to hook this thing up to my Wifi. I only connected it briefly though and changed the hotspot password before and after I connected the phone.
Ultimately if it had the right camera hardware I wouldn't complain because I literally just wanna be able to shoot the super slow mo that the p40 pro can do....but it looks like it's camera is just some cheap thing as well. It claims to have a 32MP mode and 16MP mode but the "32MP" image was 2560x1920 and the "16MP" image is 1536x2048
So now that I plan to return it, I had some questions here:
1. Since I connected it to my computer, are there any processes/apps or anything that it could have tried to auto-install? I've been eyeing up my process monitor ever since and it doesn't look like anything's changed. (running Pop!OS 22.04)
2. Should I do anything to the device before I try to return it? I'll likely factory reset it but I'm wondering if it could've somehow pulled information that I'm not aware of. I 100% didn't log into any accounts or anything like that on the phone.
For the future reference of others, my phone seems to almost exactly be the phone discussed in this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-thread-ask-any-question-noob-friendly.2257421/
Thanks in advance for any help!
