[Q] Imaginarium Superpaquito - General Questions and Answers

Greetings from Portugal.
I have a tablet made by the spanish toy manufacturer Imaginarium.
It's a tablet for kids, with special software for them. It also has android on it.
I was trying to update the android version it run on but I seem to have bricked it.
I uninstalled a few apps and now it doesn't starts. It just keeps running the start procedure but it doesn't complete the process so I can not use it.
In fact, I cannot even update the firmware because it doesn't allow me to start the process by simultaneously pressing the MENU, BACK and RESET buttons.
I'm also having trouble installing the drivers for the update tool, the RockUsbDriver for win7.
It shows an error message saying "the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation".
So I was wondering if there is any tool that allows me to hard reset any device, as I don't believe there is a tool for this device.
(I have a new firmware ready to install on it)
As a matter of fact, I don't even know witch hardware we're talking about,,, The only name this has is Superpaquito.
Thanks for your time!

additional info: if I press MENU + POWER buttons, a laying down android figure is showed, with its 'chest' open and with a 'danger' triangular sign on top of it,

Imaginarium Superpaquito Factory Reset
Hello, i was fighting a lot with this problem too but i have a solution for your problem
It's just a few steps :
The superpaquito must be off, and connected to charger:
1. Push 5 buttons (volume down, volume up, on / off, menu and back) at the same time until the screen with the android robot appears.
2. Push the button volume up and the on / off at the same time until you exit a menu with text in blue at the top of the screen.
3 Go to "wipe data / Factory rest" (move with the volume buttons +-) and select with the buttons on / off.
4 select the option "Yes - delete all user data".
5 The superpaquito restore factory settings and return to the original menu.
6. Select "reboot system now" and your device will reboot.
I hope it helped and that you didn't needed to buy a new one

:angel:
complete basic information u should knw before doing anything to u device!!!!!!!!!
Download mode
Download mode is used to flash new ROM or custom ROM firmware. (See Flashing)
To enter download mode, turn off the phone and then hold down Volume Down + Home + Power.
If done properly within at least 8 seconds will reboot the phone.
If you can't enter the download mode your phone might be Soft-Bricked.
recovery mode
Recovery mode is used to install system updates in form of update.zip files (such as the one for rooting your phone), performing a factory reset and wiping the cache.
"Android out of the box" icon indicating successfully booted recovery mode
To enter recovery mode, turn off the phone, connect the USB cable, and then hold down Volume Up + Power.
If done properly, the phone will show the SAMSUNG and Galaxy S Plus screens and then end up at the "Android out of the box screen". Now press Menu to enter recovery mode.
The options for actually performing recovery when something is wrong with your phone are very limited with the stock recovery that comes preinstalled on your phone. However, you have the option to replace it with a much better, fully-featured recovery called "ClockworkMod Recovery" (CWM).
Getting into recovery mode can be a bit fiddly and you might need several tries. Connecting the USB cable makes it a lot easier. CWM recovery does not have this problem and boots reliably. If you are still having problems getting into recovery mode, download Easy Reboot Recovery.zip, unpack and run RebootRecovery.bat while your phone is connected with the USB cable. The phone will reboot into recovery mode.
Navigation in recovery mode is done using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to scroll up and down in lists and the Home button for choosing an item. Sometimes a simple push of the Home button is interpreted as two pushes so be careful.
Recovery mode is a separate partition on your device (#13) that holds its own minimal Android system with a kernel and a small set of tools.
rooting
Rooting allows apps to act as administrator of your phone (called "root") and perform modifications on anything. This allows you to use backup apps that can backup all apps including their data on your phone, firewall apps that control internet access for other apps, adblockers which block ads on webpages and inside apps and much much more. You control which apps you want to grant the root privilege to with an app called "Superuser". Please inform yourself on responsible use of root privileges and do not grant unknown or suspicious apps root rights.
All Custom ROMs, CyanogenMod-based ROMs etc. come pre-rooted. The rooting procedure is only necessary if you are using a stock Samsung ROM.
how to root
Easy rooting and unrooting guide by KeksKlip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
Put Root-i9001-Signed.zip into internal sdcard
Reboot into recovery mode by turning on the phone while pressing Volume Up and Power Button
As soon as the "Android out of the Box" appears, press the Menu button
Use Volume buttons to choose "apply update from sdcard" in the recovery menu.
Press Home button to submit.
Use Volume buttons to choose Root-i9001-Signed.zip on sdcard
Press Home button to start update.
Choose "reboot system now" and press Home button to reboot your phone.
Unrooting is exactly the same, except with the file UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip
hit thanks if i helped !!!
You should just delete this thread. There is a better thread in I9001 stickies. Seeing by your post count and also this 'copied' post, you will end up putting people in trouble rather than helping them.

[Q] Restoring original rom SM-N900 NOTE3

I purchased a used NOTE3 that had turned the system functionality missing : there was no status bar at the top, did not recognize the wi- fi and Micro SD . For these reasons I decided to do a HARD RESET but this procedure has gone wrong at the end of the initial configuration after pressing the END key . The phone , the next time you reboot, go to a black screen only works where the taskbar, left , from where you can access the apps and system status bar at the top: then I can access the system settings.
Unnecessary attempts have been made to restore the phone via the "recovery mode " which always leads to the error above.
I groped to restore the original firmware but I can not get to the mode "download mode" because , when keys are pressed : "Vol -Down + Power + Home button " , you can access a menu incomprehensible language Oriental (Chinese or Japanese) .
Is it possible to restore the original firmware Taking into account that the phone should not be in " download mode" and is not recognized by Keys and ODIN ?
thanks

Is there a way to access the data on the device without getting past the lock screen? Since it isn't encrypted I'm wondering how easy it would be to get a backup of your data and apps before you do the reset.

Fix for bootloop with enablefilecrypto_failed after OTA upgrade to Android 10

On 3 separate Nokia 6.1 (2018) TA-1050 devices, after the OTA upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10 (using either the December 2019 Stable Android 10 Full OTA update with version number V4.10C, or using the May 2020 Full OTA update with version number V4.15C), I encountered a bootloop. Many users with Nokia devices for which Nokia released an OTA upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10 report the same:
After the OTA is applied, the phone restarts, the screen goes black, the phone restarts again, until finally the following screen is displayed:
(sorry for not posting a screenshot - as a new user I am apparently not allowed that privilege until I have made 10 posts, so I have to put in the literal text of the screen instead, using the color scheme of the real screen)
Android Recovery
nokia/plate2_00mm/PL2 sprout
10/QKQ1_190828.002/00ww_4_10C
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If
you continue to get this message, you may need to perform
a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this
device.
Try again
Factory data reset
Supported API: 3
Boot Reason: enablefilecrypto_failed
In the rest of this post I will refer to this screen as the enablefilecrypto_failed screen.
Note the numbers I indicated in bold in this screen, which indicate that the phone is attempting to start Android 10.
Even though I searched the Internet extensively for several months, I did not find a complete solution for this issue. After a lot of trial and error, I have found a working solution myself, which I am documenting here. The idea behind this procedure is to make sure that both slots in the phone get upgraded to Android 10, which the OTA, by design, does not do.
If you have a Nokia 6.1 or a similar Nokia phone (with A/B slots) with the symptom as described above, you are welcome to try this solution AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Please note that following this procedure will result in the complete erasure of all user data stored on the phone! Save whatever data you need on external storage!
Prerequisites
Android Platform Tools: ADB and Fastboot (download here)
The procedure does not require the phone to be unlocked or rooted.
Procedure
If you are on the enablefilecrypto_failed screen, follow these steps to try to boot your phone from the inactive slot, which should not have been touched:
a. First of all, just for good measure, select "Try again" with the volume keys, then press the power button. The phone will restart. If you get the same screen again, try it up to five times. Your phone should turn off completely after the third time. You can turn it on again to try a further few times.
b. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable. If the phone was off, the phone will turn on and show the battery charge screen.
c. From the battery charge screen, or the enablefilecrypto_failed screen, press and hold the volume down key (make sure you do not accidentally select "Factory data reset"), then press and hold the power key. Keep both pressed throughout the power up sequence. You will end up with a screen showing the android one logo and on top the words "Download mode". From now on we will refer to this screen as the bootloader screen.
d. Open a Command Prompt on the computer, and change the current directory of the command prompt to the folder in which the platform tools were installed.
e. Type in the following command, and at its end press the Enter key:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
You will see either: current-slot: a or current-slot: b. On some phones, the slot character may be prefixed by an underscore (i.e. _a or _b). Write down the current slot.
f. We now want to make the inactive slot active. If the current slot was a (or _a), you want to type the following command (if the current slot was prefixed by an underscore, then also put an underscore before b in the following command), then press Enter:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
If the current slot was b (or _b), then type the command (if the current slot was prefixed by an underscore, then also put an underscore before a in the following command), then press Enter:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
You will see either Setting current slot to 'a' or Setting current slot to 'b', depending on which slot has been made active.
g. Now reboot the phone by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
Code:
fastboot reboot
h. Your phone may come up with the following screen:
Android Recovery
nokia/plate2_00mm/PL2 sprout
9/PPR1.186610.011/00ww_3_54P
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If
you continue to get this message, you may need to perform
a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this
device.
Try again
Factory data reset
Supported API: 3
Boot Reason: enablefilecrypto_failed
Note that this screen shows that the phone has switched to Android 9, as indicated by the numbers I placed in bold in the above screen.
If so, make sure "Try again" is selected, then press the power button. Your phone will restart and Android 9 will come up, which will give you the opportunity to back up your phone before proceeding.
Backup the phone
a. Make sure your contacts, calendar entries, etc., are completely synchronized with whatever cloud provider you are using (usually Google).
b. To backup Whatsapp messages, go into Whatsapp settings and perform a backup either to the cloud, or to phone memory.
c. To backup SMS and MMS messages, use an app like "Anything to SMS".
d. Connect the phone with the computer using a USB cable, and copy the entire contents of the phone memory to a new folder on the computer. Make sure this copy is complete, including the backups of Whatsapp, SMS messages, and any other app-specific data, as well as your documents, pictures and videos, and anything else you want to keep.
e. If your phone is rooted, you may want to additionally use Titanium Backup to make a complete backup of all apps and their data, and use a custom recovery like TWRP to make a NANDroid backup. Make sure these backups are moved off the phone, as you will be required to perform a complete "wipe" of the entire phone.
To make further troubleshooting easier, you may want to enable Developer Mode and USB Debugging:
a. Open Settings->About phone
b. Scroll down until Build number
c. Tap 7 times on Build number
d. When prompted, enter phone PIN or password
e. Exit Settings
f. Open Settings->System->Advanced->Developer options
g. Scroll down to USB debugging and turn it on
h. Exit Settings
i. If not prompted to allow USB debugging, disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable. You should see a prompt on your phone asking whether to allow USB debugging from a specific device (the computer the phone is connected to). You should answer affirmatively to this prompt.
Further preparations
a. If your phone is rooted, disable all apps that require root (for example the firewall), and completely uninstall Magisk, restart the phone when prompted.
b. Before continuing, either connect the phone to a charger, or make sure the phone is (almost) completely charged.
c. Open Settings->System->System update. Let the phone check for updates, download the update, follow the prompts, resume the upgrade it necessary, allow the system update to install, and, when prompted, restart the phone (even if you already did all of this in the past). Your phone will restart and return to the enablefilecrypto_failed screen. Before continuing with the next part, make sure the enablefilecrypto_failed screen shows the version numbers corresponding to Android 10 (as shown at the beginning of this post).
Booting into recovery from the enablefilecrypto_failed screen showing the version numbers corresponding to Android 10
a. If you have a custom recovery permanently installed, follow the next steps until you see the custom recovery screen.
b. If disconnected, connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
c. While making sure "Try again" is selected, press the power button.
d. The moment the phone restarts, press and hold the volume up key, then press and hold the power key. Keep both pressed throughout the power up sequence. If you have a custom recovery permanently installed, it should come up now. If you have the stock recovery, you will end up with a screen showing an android robot lying down on its back, with a red triangle over its open belly, and the words "no command" below it. To enter the stock recovery from this screen, hold the power key and tap the volume up key once. You will then see a screen with a larger menu (see below); this is the stock recovery screen. From now on we will refer to this screen as the stock recovery screen. If you end up again with the enablefilecrypto_failed screen instead, try the above steps again; the timing of step d is quite critical.
The stock recovery screen looks like this:
Android Recovery
nokia/plate2_00mm/PL2 sprout
10/QKQ1_190828.002/00ww_4_10C
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
Mount /system
View recovery logs
Run graphics test
Run locale test
Power off
Supported API: 3
Boot Reason: (null)
Using ADB to sideload the Full OTA upgrade from the stock recovery screen
Please note the links provided here are the official links to the Full OTA for the Nokia 6.1 (2018) "PL2_sprout". If you are attempting these steps on a different Nokia phone, you will have to find the correct links for the corresponding Full OTA upgrade. Do not use the links provided here.
a. Check the Android 10 version number in the stock recovery screen.
b. If the Android 10 version is 4_10C, then, on the computer, download the Full OTA upgrade from here: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../c6260831df0acdfe9828f18bcea7ffb556f4b2e5.zip
If the Android 10 version number in the stock recovery screen is 4_15C, then download the Full OTA upgrade from here: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../bb7fea8687fc11e36c298f2b8e49c0116a174e11.zip
c. If you have a custom recovery on your phone, now press the keys to start the ADB sideload.
d. If you have the stock recovery, on the phone, use the volume down key to move the selection to "Apply update from ADB" and press the power key to confirm the selection.
e. On the computer, open a Command Prompt, and change the current directory of the command prompt to the folder in which the platform tools were installed.
f. Type in the following command, replacing [complete path to filename] with the complete and exact path to the file downloaded in step b above, including the full name of the file itself, and at the end of the command press the Enter key:
Code:
adb sideload "[complete path to filename]"
The phone screen will show it is finding the package, opening the package, verifying the package, and then it will install the package in two steps: Step 1/2 and Step 2/2.
g. When the two steps have completed, you may see some error messages about the recovery log on the phone. You can safely ignore these errors.
h. The menu entry selected on the phone screen should now be "Reboot system now". Press the phone power button to restart the phone.
i. In some cases, the phone will now start normally into Android 10, with all data intact. If so, congratulations! You can skip the rest of this post.
j. In most cases, the phone will again show the enablefilecrypto_failed screen. You will want to select "Try again" with the volume keys and press the power button to try to start the phone normally again.
k. When you have tried this 5 times, you can assume it is not going to work. Select "Factory data reset" with the volume keys and press the power button.
l. The phone will prompt you with a warning "Wipe all user data? THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE!" Select "Factory data reset" with the volume keys, and press the power button.
m. The phone will now wipe all user data, and then turn off.
n. When the phone has turned off for a good while, press the power button (you may need to hold the power button a bit longer than usual). The Nokia logo should come up. The Nokia logo will stay on the screen for a relatively very long time. Your phone should eventually start the Android 10 startup sequence ("Welcome" etc.), in which you will be asked to set up your phone.
o. My recommendation is to connect the phone to WiFi and allow it to download and install all applicable OTA updates before you continue to set up the phone. These incremental OTA upgrades do not usually cause the issue we experienced with the Full OTA upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10.
