A friend of mine that I gave a tablet to left it in a hot car and now it is bootlooping. She has a bunch of photos and documents that were written on the tablet that she would like to get back. The only trouble is that this tablet is one of those Chinese Action ATM7029 clones with little to no information on the internet about them. I figured out the combos to get into the stock recovery and do have access to SD cards to load recovery images onto it. ADB bridge / debugging was never turned on in the tablet so going into recovery does not create an ADB link. Here are the details:
Device: FastTouch 10" 8gb
Android: 4.2.2
Processor: ATM7029
Memory: 8gb flash / 1gb ram
ADB Enabled: No, USB Debugging was never turned on
Recovery: Accessible, but only stock version
SD Slot: yes, 8 and 32gb SD Cards are available to be used
Computers and Operating systems: I have a Mac with 10.8 with ADK 'installed', access to a windows 7 machine available
(Amazon link to the device: amazon_com/gp/product/B00ECKG0XK/)
Here is what I have done:
1) Got into recovery
2) Tried wiping cache and rebooting, still stuck
3) Tried ADB from a Mac machine, not recognized (ADB was not turned on in tablet)
4) Looked for any sort of recovery for the device. Sketchy possibles, no direct compatible found
5) Posted here.
Here is what I want to do:
1) Get the files off (if possible)
2) Get the device working, even if that requires wiping the files out (if possible)
Can anyone point me to a CWM or TWRP that would work with this device and let me form an ADB link to backup with? Even if the recovery ran out of ramdisk and didn't install that would be enough. I really want to get those files back out before doing dastardly things to the device. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
Hi!
I can find nothing useful about that device on XDA. It is possible its suffered a hardware failure from the extreme heat and may be unrecoverable.
However, Please ask in the following general thread. Perhaps you will find some help.

Thanks for the advice. I wondered if I should post it there first. Will anyone be mad if I just copy paste that over?

First things first, I'm completely new to the world of android and tablets so please be gentle.
I bought 2 Nobis NB09, one for myself and one for my wife, we've had them for about 2 weeks now. We bought 32gb Ext. SD cards for them and away we went. A few days ago we started to realize that nothing was being saved to the ext sd cards and we were out of space on the tablets. So off to Google I go to find a solution. The only solution I could find was to root the tablets and here starts the problem. I tried the Kingo route, that didn't work saying no device was found, RootMaster the chinese program didnt work, VRoot has a Trojan virus attached so my antivirus wont allow me to install it, Framaroot also didn't work as my device is not compatible. The SDK route also doesn't work, as no device is found. Here is what I have observed, inbetween trying to not rip my hair out or bash my head against the wall. When I plugged my device into my laptop with USB debugging on, MTP USB device driver didn't install and neither did the Android driver. Trying to manually update Android in Device Manager it says i need to get the driver from the manufacturers website (which I cant find), I could not find the MTP USB device listed in my devices at all. I did find a site that has the drivers, supposedly, but I don't even know what I need exactly. So here are my questions:
Can I not root the tablets because these drivers are missing?
If I have to have these drivers does anyone know where I can find them, reliably?
Has anyone successfully rooted this tablet and if so how did you do it?
Tablet Info:
Model Num: NB09
Android Version: 4.1.1 (Jellybean)
Kernel Version: 3.0.8
Build Num: JR003C. 2013926. v003
Processor Speed: 1.50 GHz
Please help, all we want to be able to do is store stuff on the SD cards.

I hope I'm not doing soemthing wrong here, but I've given up trying to update my Xooms. So I copy my post on Questions & Answers to this area. 50 views got no response over there. Any relevant information might get me interested again. Thank You, and please delete this post if it's out of order.

(newby with two xooms,a kindle fire, and Linux Mint 17) I love Xoom.
"I have two identical xooms. The model number lists as "Xoom". Android version is 4 .1.2 , build JZ054K, kernal version 2.6.39.4-g4e32b94 . I've been trying for days to update at least one of them. I'm using a Linux Mint 17 desktop. No Windows available.
I've tried everything I found on these forums, and nothing has worked. I have 32gb external sd cards in both of them. My first trak was to do it from the SD card but I found that recovery cannot see my SD card. I also tried putting " BigPart" in a directory called downloads, but that didn't help. I also tried loading it onto the internal card. Can't see it either way.
I downloaded the Linux android files and plugged in the USB cable. I could talk to the Xoom, and tell it to reboot the bootlooder into fastboot or recovery, and the Xoom would reboot but lock up at the "loading fastboot" screen. I tried sideloading the BigPart file, but the install would fail on validation. If I try to enter fastboot by rebooting it locks on the loading screen. If I load recovery on boot it appears to come up but It can't see the SD cards or accept the files from the computer (From adb).
One of these Xoom's I gedfied and the other was a google device when I bought it. Both got all of their last bunch of updates thru Google, until Google dropped them. Could the google updates have left something needed out??
As I understand the process getting Big part on the device is the first step. I have all needed files for the upgrade,on my SD cards and on my Linux machine. I just can't use them. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know where and what the OS is looking for during that attempted USB update??"
Hi there,
Sorry but this section is for helping guide new members on where to find their answer on XDA.
If you already founded the right place to ask, then wait there an answer or ask again in the general section for Android Q&A:

Cheers
Thread closed, thank you
Asus Iconia B1. I went to modify a file in system and set the mount option on Es File explorer. Modified the file and forgot to do the mount bit again. Booted and it locks on boot 'Iconia' screen.
I can boot into recovery and see the 3 menu options for Clean boot etc, but none of these have resulted in anything. Unfortunately I do not have a rom on the tablet either to try and install anything else?
I have tried via windows 7 to connect via adb, but the tablet can't be seen? I'm sure the correct drivers should be on, but nothing? kill-server, start-server, devices always brings up nothing?
Can anyone please help?
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device.
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts but first you must register an account on XDA forum:

Good luck
I did register and posted (apparently in the wrong forum), so the Mod moved it here?
Please advise?
No you posted in the right forum I gave you above here: [Q] Broken tablet in recovery. Cannot connect USB from windows

Hi,
First of all Device specs :
Device : Quantum QPulse 100s (Not chinese, its middle eastern company)
Processor : Intel Celeron N2805 1.46GHz
RAM : 2GB
OS : Windows 8.1 Pro, Android 4.2.2 (Dual Boot)
So as the title says, i need to root my android, here goes my story...
I tried so many methods to root but was unsuccessful
Here are the points to first notice :
1. Android is a custom built android but build id matches with nexus phone ( idk why )
2.There is NO BOOTLOADER.
More on that :- The tab itself is a mini PC, and i found out it has BIOS, and in the BIOS I found 2 options,
a) EFI BOOT
b) Windows management blah something we are not interested right now.
I found out that android has an EFI boot and we can go to the EFI SHELL but i found no use of that.
3. You CANNOT connect it to a PC using a USB cable.
Ask why ? Because the tab itself is a host system and in no way can you connect a host to another host. Except maybe networking.
Now for the INTERESTING Things WE can USE :
I found a way to mount all the android partitions on the windows os and I can write to those partitions.
Now i did place supersu.apk, su, busybox to the folders they need to be, but in android terminal app it says su permission denied.
Probably some permission problems. I have tried giving chmod in terminal app and moving those files to system/bin later. But didnt work
Also no root apps, such as Kingroot, Towelroot etc are working.
Beware again - You CANNOT use USB using methods.
I need root so i can install gapps, and also because i like root.
So, I need The XDA help
Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
There is no forum specifically for your device but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck
waiting...
3 day bump.. awaiting any useful reply..
I dont want anyone to go deep into the device but it would be useful to tell me how to root a android, whose partition is accessible from another OS ( windows 8.1 )
Please wait for answers in the Q&A forum.
Try using the generic tools like Framaroot, Kingroot, and so on...

Well here I have a wonderful problem, I have two devices, according to the working one and cpu z:
4x ARM cortex A9 @1.42 ghz
revision r3p0
Rockchip RK3066
Model rk3188
Manufacturer Zowee
Android version 4.4.2
bootloader unknown
java vm Dalvik 1.6.0
kernel 3.0.36+ (eng.candy.20150403.110733)
The device that has the problem is the exact same model and all, however, after plugging it to the AC current, it tries to boot up but enters into recovery mode, none of the options work at all, looking into youtube I found out that I can extract the firmware, so far so good, but, I can't use that method because RKROMDUMPER and RKAndroid_v1.29 need the tablet to be plugged and there is the problem, the faulty tablet does not load in that mode while plugged to the computer.
So I was left with the option of getting into recovery mode and attempt to update from external storage, so far the only "Firmware" or "ROM" I've got is the one I extracted from the working tablet, I have, backup.img, boot.img, kernel.img and so on, the biggest one is the system.img which is near 6GB size.
I really don't know how to proceed from this point, do I have anything usable with those .img files? I have tried downloading a 4.4 Android rom, the recovery tried to load the files contained in the zip folder yet the loader showed messages such as, bad footer, or invalid image or always a denial message of whatever sort you may imagine.
So, I am stuck, reading further more I discovered that there are other methods or even other roms that can be loaded, but the Zowee guys have near to nothing to work with.
Could you please help me with this? Are the .img parts usable or in some way "joinable" like merge them into a single file or directory?
The device was not rooted, so I am left with only the chance of fresh installing from sd card and nothing else.
Thanks in advance.
