Can anybody please advise how to install 2.2 or above on a ViewQuest Slate 2?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have one of these.
I'm qute happy with 2.1 and would be quite happy to stay howeer there are few things that really annoy me.
the first is the touch sensitive buttons. They have a haptic feedback I can't turn off.
second is there is somthing that keeps coming to life and draining the battery.
The third is there isnt a market, but I'm using androzip to copy over programs from my phone so not a major problem.
If these problems can be resolved I'm happy to stay on 2.1 id love flash but I suspect my cpu isn't supported.
I'm prepared to try any experiments.

have the same specifications, Android version 2.1 Eclair & build description contains EM83 in both devices and they look identical! When I connect mine to Windows 7 PC and set the mode on tablet that I could reach its internal storage, in the device manager properties for USB device you can find name MID EM83 and EM83 is also mentioned in the Build description of both these tablets. I think MID EM83 is the clue to find the real manufacturer of this 8" tablet with Telechips 8902 CPU. I have searched google and read slatedroid.com & androidtablets.net but I couldn't find who is the real manufacturer or confirmed working Android 2.2 or 2.3 firmware or custom firmware ROM's. Maybe you, a person who reads this post, know? I thought it is obvious that ViewQuest Slate 8 & a-rival NAV-PA80 have been made by the same manufacturer and I tried to update ViewQuest with update provided by a-rival for NAV-PA80/NAV-PA83

to update my 8" View Quest Slate2 AND IT WORKED!!!. I believe this proves that they both are made by the same manufacturer or on the same platform designed for Telechips 8902 CPU. I am sure that there are other users who have 8" tablet with Telechips 890x CPU like ViewQuest Slate2 or a-rival PAD NAV-PA80 who do search for modified firmware ROM's to update their device from Android 2.1 to 2.2 or even 2.3 version.

every thread I find relating to this bloody view quest slate I find you have copied and pasted the same feckin reply,
I notice you have installed custom firmware on yours, what custom firmware did you use and have you got a DIRECT link to download it (not a link to the 125 page thread elsewhere) and what instructions did you use?
With the custom firmware you are using, do you have access to the android market? (the official google one)
CyanogenMod 7/ClockworkMod Recovery 5 for Slate2 / a-rival PAD NAV-PA80
Hello! I have used CyanogenMod 7/ClockworkMod Recovery 5 firmware modified by Fun_ for a-rival PAD NAV-PA80 because it is the same device as Slate2. You can find instructions here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101094
or files & instructions here:
http://androtab.info/telechips/firmwares - owned by firmware developer Fun_
I was following these instructions. So the sequence was:
Preparation1.
Go to androtab.info/telechips/firmwares.
Find a-rival PAD NAV-PA80/83 capacitive
Download
a.) Stock recovery backup tool - dump-recovery-signed.zip
b.) ClockworkMod Recovery 5 - arival80-recovery-signed.zip
c.) CyanogenMod 7 - arival80-cyanogen-signed.zip
Be sure it is for NAV-PA80/83 if you want it to use it on your Slate2 - I have used this firmware and I can confirm that it worked.
Preparation2. Entering recovery mode. To enter recovery mode hold 'volume-' button and holding 'power' button till you see Android robot - then release 'volume-' button. You are in stock recovery mode now. Use VOL- =next(down), VOL+ =prev(up), POWER=select, BACK=back)
1. Backup of stock recovery
* How to make backup of stock recovery
A. copy dump-recovery-signed.zip to root of SD card (e.g. /sdcard/update.zip)
and rename it to update.zip
B. install update.zip from stock recovery
2. Install ClockworkMod Recovery 5
* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5
Be sure to make backup of stock recovery before installing ClockworkMod Recovery 5!
A. Copy arival80-recovery-signed.zip to root of SD card and rename it to install update.zip
B. Start in stock recovery mode, install update.zip
Next time you boot into recovery mode clockworkmod will be booted.
3.make backup of stock ROM
Use buttons to select 'backup' option
4.wipe out / factory reset
if this is your first time when you are using modified Cyanogen firmware it is recommended that you wipe out/factory reset your tablet. Assume that all settings will be deleted, all personal data will be lost.
Use buttons to select 'wipe out/factory reset' option
5.install Cyanogen modified firmware
A.Copy arival80-cyanogen-signed.zip (CyanogenMod 7) to root of the SD card
B.Start recovery mode - ClockworkMod Recovery 5 should start.
C.Select to install arival80-cyanogen-signed.zip
Please be patient - there is no indication light for CPU activity
If you can see that process completed successfully, but you can't move to the restart option - restart the tablet with hardware reset button located near 'power' button. If you can move in the menu select 'restart'
6. touchscreen calibration
The first you have to do when the CyanogenMod7 firmware boots is to calibrate your screen - it is best that you do it in the first time - it saves time & brain cells.
7. if you have problems / suggestions or ideas please post them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101094
Regarding android market you have to download & install vending.apk for it to work. There are different Android Market versions. You need to do research to find out differences between them.
bumping this because i've just got one, but i can't even get it into recovery to try any of the above - any help would be appreciated
just worked out how to get into recovery .. so here goes
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------
all done - and it works fine. few oddities here and there with a brief play, but i need to re-charge it properly so i'll have a good go later on.
rooted as well so i'll copy my titanium backup folder across from my phone and see what works.
just need to work out which model it is on rom backup so i can download google apps as well. will update as i find out stuff - there seems to be little information about this particular tablet about so it might help someone i guess
edit:
bit of a bugbear already - appears, on the face of it, to lock up the device if the screen goes to sleep - have to do a full reset. will see if that's turn-off-able ..
quick update.
angry birds works, but is a bit jerky. i imagine if it had a 'low graphics' option it would actually work quite well. it also takes an age to load.
fruit slice works well, as does robo defense - even zoomed in it runs quickly and looks pretty good.
homerun battle 3d works well as well, even without (i think) a decent accelerometer.
xpectroid spectrum emulator works well.
got a ton of apk's to install to try so will update later
---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------
you don't appear to be able to move things to the sd card either, so the 256mb internal memory does fill up very, very quickly.
also, quite a few apps start upside down - literally. not the worst thing in the world, but sometimes it's a pain
if you want to add apps to the screens, you have to manually add them as shortcuts->applications then select which one.
angry birds rio works quite well
plants v zombies doesn't work
kindle works well enough. swipe to turn pages is a little laggy, but is fine.
youtube app doesn't work.
facebook and twitter work well - widgets work well on screen.
gmail app doesn't work, probably because market app also doesn't work
more later
Later:
Latest version of the official facebook app didn't actually work and get FC'ing. Trying 1.7.1 and it appears to work ok .. so far
any more info on this i have just got my hands on one and would like to have a go at this

I have just got one of these today, i am wanting to root this thing as i just can't cope with it as is!
Just to ask, once i get this rooted, will i be able to access the android market?
Hi,
I´m a german a-rival pad 80 user and running CM7 from fun_ with google market.
You can find the gapps here at the end of the site.
Use Google Apps Version for CyanogenMod 7. To install gapps you have to put the "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" on your SD-card, then go to the ClockworkMod Recovery and chose install zip from sdcard.
If you want put your apps to SD you must use Link2SD, it works well with the latest build.
If you have any questions you can also post at Android Hilfe in english.
bye

please forgive my bad english
Hello,
I do hope my questions fit in here.
I recently bought the LC-Power MIRA-1 10.1" tablet. In google play it is called "unknown M105F"
the tablet has a 1,2 GHz A10 - ARM Cortex A8 CPU and a Mali 400MP GPU
i do have some experience with backup/root/uc&oc and even custom mods with my motorola defy phone (currently running cm7.2 stable)
when "playing" around with my defy i found it was sold in big numbers and is very well supported not only here but in any number of other communities. however, since my new tablet is pretty new to the market and no brand tablet, finding information on it is near impossible.
i do hope this will change in the future, especially since I really feel that my tablet is well suited for a number of tasks and with the price tag of ~150 EUR might even have a chance of finding its way in the hands of many people
anyway, even if the tablet is fine as it is now, it could be better. i am talking about modifications and this is what this thread is about.
1) BACKUP
in case i screw up, I really would love to have the possibility of resetting everything(!) back to factory defaults.
with my defy it is as easy as downloading the official sfb and flashing it with rsd lite
this wont work here for obvious reasons
is there a possibility to download the firmware to the pc (from the tablet) and later restoring it? probably not
so the only way left is nandroid backup?
easier said than done with a new device and without root...
also, i would very much prefer to have a backup without root / be sure to be able to remove all modifications i made like installing clockwork mod and rooting...
2) ROOT
for various reasons I'd like to have root. according to my information, rooting 4.0.4 is dependant on the device.
considering i have an unknown device, short of trying every possibility, what else could i do/try?
3) UNDERCLOCK/OVERCLOCK
I would LOVE to try to UC and OC the tablet. I know this might fail miserabely, but I could try.
IF i had root and any idea on how to find (again, short of trying every possible app) a working app.
any ideas?
4) GENERAL CUSTOMISATION
i learned that a well made custommod (like 7.2 for my defy) can make a huge difference in customisation and performance.
I would be willing to try a stable custommod but for now, I dont think that is viable since they usually are device specific.
So all I can do is use another launcher and hope for the best. I really like the performance, functions and especial the ability to customize the AWD Launcher that came with the cm7.2 for my phone.
According to google play the awd launcher is not compatible with my device. i cant imagine why, but there it is.
now, is there a way to still try it?
and what launcher comes closest to the performance, feel and customizability of the awd launcher (i do NOT care about special visual effects on which most launchers seem to concentrate)?
5) SIMILAR DEVICES
the best way to approach all those questions might be to find a (very) similar tablet and try to extrapolate answers from there onto my device.
however, I have no clue on how to figure out what chipset my tablet uses and what other information might be needed to try it that way
---
thats it for now
any and all help will be appreciated!
thank you for reading this

Hello
okay, I have some news...
since no one had anything to say I went ahead and started trying stuff out...
Apparently, the tablet is rooted by default (or my measurement of being rooted is wrong):
- when i run the app root checker, it says it is rooted
- when i run adb shell / su the prompt is root:directoy #
- i can create and delete files from /system/app
still, something is up...:
- using the adb shell i can create a file in /system/app (touch test.tst)
- if i try to delete/move anything in the adb shell from /system/app apparently the file can not be found
- it works in terminal emulator
- ive installed superuser, but have yet to see the "application asks for superuser rights"
- with the default file browser or es file explorer i can not get to / (stuck in /sdcard) EDIT: Resolved, layer8 problem!
ive also tried some overclocking apps
- they either do not go beyond 1.2ghz (stock) - the apps however is more or less to uc, not oc
- they crash the tablet even with 1248mhz - maybe the scaling gouvanours fault?
- underclocking seems to work (by accident i set the mhz from 1200 to 60 and well... it was SLOW)
i also found out some stuff (quick info system pro)
- ARMv7 processor rev 2(v71) (ARM Cortex A8 1,2GHz - at least according to the tech sheet at the manufactorer)
- sun4i
so, i wonder:
- is the tablet actually sold rooted? then why do i not get superuser permission popups?
- is my hardware not overclockable with (those) apps (i have) and/or do i actually need a custom kernel (ive read abput self compiled kernel for sun4i and another tablet)
ive gotta say, even with a bit of experience in android (acutally, very little) and a bit of linux (not too much, but decent enough) i am sorta confused
...not alone
I´d bought 2 devices LC Power Mira 2 yesterday...they should be delivered on friday...so hang on...you´re no longer alone...
It could be that the device is rooted...as far as I know...
Google runs some kind of an quality assurance by denying some "nobrand" manufactures the total Android 4.0 compatibility.
For an example the Arnova (Archon´s budget line) 10b G3 is running 4.0 but without the Play Store, ´cause the device is not fully supported as an "Quality Android 4.0 Device" and you have to use a custom rom on that tablet.
That´s one reason to spend 5 Euros more for the Mira2 which have it all onboard...or am I wrong...?

Yes, indeed, at least the MIRA-1 tablet does come prerooted. This is of course nice (since I do not have to try root it myself) but also troubeling, since there is a good reason that android devices usually are not sold rooted. The bigger problem however seems to be that the superuser app is not working properly, i.e. I do not get the "this app is requesting superuser acess" question and probably for the same reason can not get my file browser (ES file browser) to go into the / directory.
what and if other apps could have trouble with the root access that apperently not every app is "finding" i dont know. i do hope not!
however, using the android sdk or shell emulator, all kinds of SU operations can indeed be executed.
concerning your google play store question (was it a question?), yes, the MIRA-1 tablet has google play installed and it can be used without any peticular limitation. its a safe bet that the mira-2 will be able to, too.
my experience with overclocking the tablet does not bode well. even a 48Mhz (smallest step) increase will freeze it. I have tried multiple apps.
i do not have any absolute answer so far. it could be that the oc apps have trouble with the root or are plain the wrong apps or simply that the cpu is already at its absolute limit and just can not be oced.
further investigation into this issue has revealed that apparently other tablets with similar hardware configuration may be able to overclock but apparently it would be neccesary to edit config files and with those compile the kernel. this is far beyond of what i can do and would be willing to do.
i am a bit sad about that, then yeah, the tablet is nice and good enough for me and worth the money, but a bit more speed could not hurt. it does happen that the tablet gets unresponsive for .5-1sec when browsing the web.
one last thought. the gpu does seem to be pretty "powerfull" (please, do not take me to literal.)
but i have yet to find any game that does not run smooth and looks good. according to my information i came across, the gpu is indeed well known for its good performance in 3d and full hd playback
(one exception. snes emulator is unplayable slow. but here i too blame the cpu, not gpu)
...
...sounds good to the fact that I won´t expecting more for this price. Hey 157€ is´nt very much for an 10.1" tablet...
...I´d got also my LG P990 as Android device and smartphone...believe Me...I know what it means being betrayed...no updates...Tegra ? - nVidia ?...I don´t wanna talk about it...lol
It´s rooted and I never got problems with some apps about this fact...ok it´s still on 2.3...thanks LG, by pretending the update comes in May 2012...
I´d send an e-mail to the support of LCpower, by asking about an list of compatible 3g Sticks...10min. later...Answer and an Exel-file with the whole list...great service...´til now...
I just hope that I´d bought 2 "nice" family tablets for a few funny games, sometimes a movie, some social networking...nothing more.
Hope I did´nt misunderstood something here...
...is it only possible with another Explorer (like Astro and ES) to get to the files of an external SD Card or not ???

well, the external sd card behaves a bit strange (at least for my understanding of android)
in short:
we have 2+1 memories in the tablet:
1 internal memory (small, i think 256mb, quite full with the android os and the apps)
1 other internal memory (the 8GB)
1 slot for the sd card, the +1 memory
now, everything begins at / (i figure this is the small internal memory)
the 2nd internal memory with 8gb is mounted under /mnt/sdcard and i believe /sdcard (where i would expect the sdcard!)
the sdcard itself can be found at /mnt/extsd
es file explorer has some trouble with that. if you launch it, it will start in /sdcard
since it does not recognize root, you can not go to /
since you cant type in the path by hand you can not go to /mnt
so apparently you cant browse the sd card with es file explorer (or i havent figured it out yet)
the preinstalled file explorer has no trouble with it at all. in fact, it even actually sends you to the right memory when you tap the corresponding symbols (as preinstalled file explorers go, it is actually not so bad)
ive tried setting up some symlinks but failed. maybe i did it wrong, maybe it just wont work.
another possibility to fix it could be editing fstab. but this could be dangerous and/or cause more problems then it helps
i filed that as a minor inconvenience to be adressed when im bored enough
...
Ok...this means...that I just hope that the Mira2 is accepting my microSD16GB and I can use it quite as normal...
In 2.3 it´s still the structure: " /mnt ---> /mnt/sdcard ---> /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD"
Is this structure changed in 4.0 ?

well on my mobile phone (motorola defy with cm7.2) i have /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard - actually being the sdcard
i also have /sd-ext which is empty
i dont know if that is the default for all android versions and/or if there are differences in sd-card mount points in android
however, the behaviour of the phone seems more logical (or its just that i am used to it)
whatever it is... the sd card of the tablet can not be accessed by /mnt/sdcard/ANYTHING
however, further research especially with the es file browser has shown that indeed you can browse the sd-card /mnt/extsd by switching the two in the favorites options.
so, maybe it makes sense, maybe it dont.
maybe its andorid 4.0.4 conform, or not.
what is important is that apps apparently dont mind (they do get installed on the 8gb internal memory mounted at /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard) and so far have yet to refuse to work/show strange behaviour
also, it is possible to move/copy etc files between /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/extsd and browse both directories, at least with the default android file explorer as well as es file browser.
So...a little update...the 2 devices are now in our hands...for about one week...
....and everything I can telling 'bout them...
,,.they're working great. Not a single bad issue, no freezes, and as far as we can see...
...for a price around 160€ there is no better tablet on the market.
Since yesterday I run the game Wild Blood (Unreal Engine 3 Game) which is most famous for an app who killed some tablets and phones...but nit the mira2 ...it's playable.
The device was also rooted "out of the box" but I can't find a single problem with the external SDcard or other USB Hosts I tested.

2. why does the surface rt go offline on 5% battery, shutting down os and no oppinion to start the tablet with the less power?
3. why i cannot deinstall apps from windows rt app store?

1. why does imap in the windows rt mail app works not correct, i think there must be a restriction for sync of max directorys, so the app is not usable, i missing many directorys from my german 1and1 mail hoster (the same on desktop pc win8 pro)?
2. why does the surface rt go offline on 5% battery, shutting down os and no oppinion to start the tablet with the less power?

1) do you have the correct imap prefix set? How many folders do you have?
2) probably because deep cycling the battery under 5% reduces overall battery life
3) you can't? http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-surface-rt-tip-deleting-apps

5) possibly never, but I agree that would be awesome
6) don't understand - keyboard should use your global language setting
7) you could always share your bigger skydrive's account with your smaller skydrive account - that should make the space accessable from the smaller account. Do that in the skydrive web interface.

I don't think that would work well with app resolution issues. However, it may be possible to do something like this. If you want to do research or something with ie, etc. Just go to the desktop. Snap still works. Take a look.

Take the two apps that are loaded on the desktop and drag one to far top left, and drag one to far top right. Then the two will be side by side.

Thinking and knowing are 2 different things, Not all Tegra3 SoCs are clocked to 1.7GHz 1.3 or 1.4GHz top clock is quite standard.
Got my Surface yesterday and installed all the updates and restarted it a few times, battery lasted without any problems. Last evening it was about 50% and then this morning it was turned off and I notices that the battery was completely drained over night. Something must be wrong I guess?

So... to trigger the warning sooner or change auto shut-down:
1. Search battery, tap "Settings" on the searchbar.
2. Tap "change battery Settings"
3. In the following screen, tap "Change plan settings", then "change advanced power settings"
4. In that window, tap the "Battery" option
5. There are options that say "Low battery level" and "Critical battery level" you can change low battery level to change when the notification shows, and critical battery level to change the auto shut-down. I only turned critical to 4% to avoid doing a "dirty" shut-down, so as not to damage the system.
If I helped, please hit thanks!
Is there a way to get movie\tv info to show on your own videos in video app?
I like having the info with purchased movies and tv shows in the xbox video app. Does anyone have any tips to get your own ripped videos to display information in the video app? Or a different app that can do it? I use xbmc on my htpc which would work great but all they have in the app store is the xbmc remote.

Can you use a pen stylus on Surface RT
Hey all,
I have searched the internet and correct me if I am wrong that Surface Pro comes with stylus.... But I really want the surface RT because of the thinner design and the longer battery life compared to Surface Pro but I really wanted to use a stylus so I can write notes on the screen in meetings. I was thinking of the Samsung ATIV as it has SNote and stylus included and has full windows 8 but there is something about the Surface.
Has anyone used a stylus and not one of the filthy fat things you use on an ipad, the actual one that look like a pen with a small nib.
Thanks
I have, and they are ok, but you have to keep your hand up, which you wouldn't have to on the surface pro.
This is really disapointing, so is it only the Surface Pro that see the tip of the pen and cuts out other touch on the screen?
Might have to get the Samsung ATIV instead but I love the Surface RT.
Surface RT has only a capacitive touchscreen. It doesn't have a stylus digitizer at all. The only kind of stylus that will work with it is one that mimics the capacitive characteristics of a finger, and if your hand is on or near the screen at the same time it has no way of telling that you're using a stylus vs. making a multi-touch gesture.

I've asked the xda people for an explaination and I received the following message:
Hi,
it looks like ost of the Zopo threads were started by a member who is now banned, so we removed those threads.
Regards
Administration
xda-developers.com
so we need to rebuild this one!!
I have some questions for this system:
I can't figure out how to connect it to my Windows 7 system,, still downloading the wrong drivers.
How to root the device.. safe way.
oops, didn't check the zopo site: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-1074-1-1.html
but I've been reading something else here which was easier to do.
so fill in the gaps please!
And I have some problems with microphone volume. people are complaining that the volume is to low.
hopefully someone will post me the answers.
Greetings from a new Zopo user..
"so we removed those threads"
Just like that? Just because this user was banned?
What about the ZP990 user who came to this thread to find info and help regarding his new phone?
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS BANNED, EVERYBODY'S PAYING A HEAVY PRICE.
Does it occur to the Administrator that this thread is (was) basically the only thread available on the whole internet for this new phone? There was really no other solution? What do we do now?
And I'm not even mentionning the Zopo official site who is far to be as helpful as this thread is (was).
Hopefully the Admin will take the user's need into consideration and will reconsider.
Why deleting a whole thread just because the user is banned?
He (or she), had amazingly simple guides for this phones, and links. Such a shame. . . I was supposed to follow one of them yesterday for upgrading firmware, now it's gone

I rooted by using only SnapPea http://dl.snappea.com/release/SnapPea_2.36.0.2265_newuser.exe
and eroot_v1.3.4.exe http://www.runamux.net/search/view/file/9fLmV0ty/ERoot-1014.html
Note: USB Debugging mode must be active on your phone.
Also, If you have antivirus it will try and block eroot when running, as it does with all root tools. I temporarily disabled it. Don't have any direct link, but it's on 4shared somewhere.
Just installed it on my W7 computer, ran it and voilá!
Well, at first SnapPea didn't fint my phone, but somehow it did eventually without me downloading any driver. just messed around with the USB settings on the phone. But I think you can find the correct windows driver here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/2af2t3I8/MT6589_drivers.html
Simplest root
Some say you only need to download the MTK driver (http://www.4shared.com/zip/ykW0IGDv/Driver.html), set phone to USB debugging mode and then run eroot (link above). No need for SnapPea.
Firmwares
Going through my log I found this: http://ajnhb5iw3h.l29.yunpan.cn/lk/QXCRdkKHzszvL
Firmware I think. Haven't installed it yet, was suposed to do that yesterday.
Another one here: http://ajewn7iqgb.l29.yunpan.cn/lk/QXGa53pdVrzMW
But I think that's older based on name (130818 [august 18th] vs 130904 [september 4th])
I think I'll follow the guide at the forum you linked to for updating SW. And looks as if it should be simple to Root using that guide as well. Although not as simple as snappea + eroot.

and wait for some operation that need to the phone,
and enjoy the new Firmware .
STEP2
"ONLY " to upgrade new patch for the Touchscreen.
(This procedure is very dangerous and so you do this operation for your own)

Thanks FlipMorten for this tutorial.
- From which website did you took this exactly? How reliable? Did you try some by yourself?
- Also, why trying to modify the firmware of the Touch Screen?
So, here is my latest post and instruction because many users asked me via mail.

This is driver pack (works on W7 and W8) but could be in some case that you have to disable the digital sinature check before installing them and pack for root the device if you will install any rom which is non-rooted.
So download this and get drivers installed, then you can download my complete C7 ROM folder her:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/b-S-fbrx/7GB_Flash_20130915.html
This is the complete folder with latest ROM (rooted...means you will not need to root after flash) and the EBR Mod, to have 7 GB of internal storage after flashing, this ROM works really great and you can use for theming or things like that XPOSED Framework after flashing, everything runs like a charm!
How to flash:
Unzip this zip folder (best on desktop to find it easier) and start the SPFlashtool.exe. (make sure the drivers are installed), use the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from my folder (Change nothing in folder!!!) and take a look, that everythink is checked! Click on download button!
Shut down the phone and take of batterie....connect the phone now with your PC using the USB Cable and wait until flash is running...when drivers will be installed, wait after connecting, in the end you will see different colored lines ins flashtool and a Green OK button will appear, now disconnect the phone and put batterin in, start and have fun with a rooted C7 incl. 7 GB of internal storage!

Thanks FlipMorten for this tutorial.
- From which website did you took this exactly? How reliable? Did you try some by yourself?
- Also, why trying to modify the firmware of the Touch Screen?

I got it from zopomobileshop's forum.
I think it's reliable, as they sell this phone and have close ties to Zopo.
Modifying the touch screen is so that one can answer the phone while having the flip cover closed. Touch through the window of the s-view flip cover. Basically increasing the sensitivity or something. Not a modifification I want or need, as I don't use the flip cover - and even when I did, it wasn't any issue to open the cover to answer and then close when talking. At least not when it's so risky now. They said it might be implemented in a coming firmware.
I'm just going to upgrade the firmware
Thanks Petteri,
Is it possible for you to upload this at something else than 4Share: For some reasons I'm having a hard time to download this...
Easy root.
For those who need root. Search framaroot here at XDA. One Click apk.
Supposed to work on various devices also Mediatek 6577 and 6589.

Problem with new firmware: the phone turns off by itself
I upgraded to the Zp990_20130904_163745 firmware (with the new touchscreen firmware) following the steps you can find here:
http://www.androidiani.com/forum/zopo-modding/335606-modding-zopo-zp990-capitan-s.html
The forum is in Italian, so I translated the text with Google translate. It worked fine with the s-view like cover. I also flashed the CWM 6032 for ZP990 with Mobileuncle Tools. Rooted with eroot.
However, after that my phone started to turn off by itself from time to time. I don't know the reason. So I flashed back the zp990_20130818-102950 firmware and the original recovery. No problems so far.
Did you guys have the same problem?
Use of 64 GB sd card in ZOPO ZP990
Hi all,
Happy to see you back after the original thread disappeared. I asked a question in that whether anybody use 64 GB memory card in the phone. Is it fine or any lag. I am planning to buy one for the phone.

Thanks for your immediate reply.
Saw your video review of the mobile. Certainly the best of all available. Very informative. Did you encounter any ghost touches?

No, everything works really fine!
i inastalled same Apps like on my GALAXY NOTE 2, all apps works,
When you will use XPOSED Framework (for personal theming and settings), you can use these Modules (see picture):
Thanks Petteri,
I got your files.
Hello,
Excuse my broken English, I made a translation with google!
Relates to BQ AQUARIS M10 FHD tablet (freezerhd project).
- Processor MEDIATEK MT8163
- Screen Full HD 1920x1200
- Android 6.0
- Kernel 3.18.22+
- SW : alps-mp-m0.mp8-V1.35_mlt8163.tb.m_P72
After a return to the last original stock rom (version 2.62_20180126-1035_bq_aquaris_m10_FHD), important bugs impacted the functioning of the tablet, such as for example unable to install applications, unable to add shortcuts on the desktop ... without root access or with root.
I then thought that the custom rom that I had installed previously caused problems ... So I decided with "SP Flash Tool" to execute a "Format All", then always flashed the latest stock rom version 2.62. The problem was the same.
By doing long research, I understood that this latest version of original rom (2.62) had several unresolved bugs (BQ support forum in Spanish). So I installed an older stock rom, version 2.30_20170405-1553_bq_aquaris_m10_FHD. There more problem everything worked well, well almost ...
I had the problem of the mac address of the wifi interface which changed with each restart. I solved it with the "SN Write Tool".
By cons, now I have a problem that I can not solve: When I connect the tablet with its micro-HDMI port to an FHD monitor, I have no video and audio signal that is transmitted, by cons the FHD monitor synchronizes well a signal in 1080p ... I launched the "Factory Mode" (power + down buttons when starting the tablet), then "Manual Test", then "HDMI" and made the hdmi test. There it works, I have the video signal and the image to the FHD monitor.
I therefore deduce that it is not a hardware problem, but software and that the formatting of all partitions caused this problem, but I find no subject on it after very long research and tests with several tools for NVRAM.
Maybe it "enough" to flash the nvram partition, but of course I have no backup, and I do not find on the internet for this tablet model.
Maybe I could manually add specific files relating to the hdmi port in the nvram, but is it "standard"? and perhaps linked to a type of architecture?
Maybe it's on a different level than nvram?
Or maybe the kernel version installed (3.18.22+) is different from the one that comes with the stock version 2.30 ?
Thank you for your help on the subject, because I intend to keep this tablet, because the functionality of the hdmi port is important to me, especially that the hdmi ports have disappeared on the tablet, and that the vast majority now have USB-C ports but in version 2.0 and not MHL, which is a regression ... except buying a Samsung or Huawei tablet that has a USB-C port version 3.0 or 3.1 ...
Especially I do not want to use audio / video signal transmission in Wifi with a Wifi/HDMI adapter on the monitor in order to use the Android function of caster the screen.
Thanks to the community.
