Hey there hope this is the right place for this ... Just want to report something that has happened. I am currently unable to use the G tablet stock vanilla TnT... any clue as to why this would happen? I dont really use it anyway however should this be resolved? and would it affect the tablet in the long run if not addressed? I use Launcher pro and the tablet forces itself to that when "home" force closes. I would like to try the TnT lite however am not confident about it.
Do i need to root the device before i hold the power button and vol +? to flash the new rom ( it bugs me that this is all i have to do to put in a custom rom. it seems to easy, unless it is that easy)
Will i lose all the files, PDF's, and documents that i have on it once i flash the new rom ?
As you can see im a noob to Android. Thanks for advice and guidance in advanced and patients.
Follow the instructions in the alternate gtab firmware post. It worked great for me. I would suggest installing cwm so you can back up your existing firmware.
My update would force close during download on the stock firmware. I finally got it to work by minimizing the pop up that displayed the progress. For some reason the screen would crash the download.
Your files should be there but you will lose all user settings and installed apps when you do the factory reset.
This is a common issue with stock, and TnT Lite. The user data seems to be very unstable once you upgrade to different firmware.
The "easiest" thing to do is just wipe the user data. However, if there is certain data you need to keep, I would recommend the excellent Titanium Backup. The only caveat is that the device has to be rooted, to use it.

And Z4root does this easily. Just install and click "root".

Tntlite is that easy I was surprised. Too since rooting my HTC hero a year and a half ago was so much more hands on
Hey guys.... first off thanks for the advice it worked great it was easy to do... flashed TnT lite and was excited.... i attempted to pull an app from freewareloversDOTcom and was stuck in downloading status for some time even with a good wifi signal... This is where all hell broke loose ....the file i wanted never downloaded.... then the pic gallery forced closed then the launcher forced closed and had to shut down now now its in bootloop....I attempted to power and vol + but nothing happened in fact got a triangle !.... what is needed now.....
LOL at the entire situation this was my fear..... please if someone with extreme patients can list or point to a noob friendly thread on what i need to do
i have a microSD card can that be used read somewhere that i may need that.....
I thank you guys VERY VERY MUCH appreciate this

I had a similar problem twice today (installed TnT Lite 2.02 and ran into boot loops). Here's how I recovered. Results may vary, so use at your own risk:
1. Download the vanilla restore from http://forum.tegratab.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16 (this is just to get the recovery\console file unless you want to manually create it).
2. Download the updated stock TnT from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9362168&postcount=35
3. Extract the "recovery" folder from gtab_full_vanilla_system_2010_11_09.zip downloaded in step 1.
4. In the recovery folder there is a file called "command" with no extension. Open this file with a text editor (eg. notepad) and edit the line so "SDCARD" says "SDCARD2" instead. Save it and ensure you do not add any extension. It should look like this:
--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip
5. Rename the "update-smb_a1002-2967-user.zip" from step 2 to "update.zip".
6. Copy the entire recovery folder with the edited "command" file from step 4 and the "update.zip" from step 5 to the root of your MicroSD card. It's important that the contents on the root of your MicroSD ends up with:
/update.zip
/recovery/command
7. Put the MicroSD in your gTablet.
8. Power on while holding the Volume Up button until you see a message regarding recovery.
9. You should see a graphic showing package box with a progress bar after a short time.
10. Wait until it completes and the unit will restart.
11. If all goes well, you should be back to stock TnT with the last OTA update.
If you are wondering why I just didn't use the gtab_full_vanilla_system_2010_11_09.zip downloaded in step 1, it's because it didn't help me. I initially used the same general method above with the gtab_full_vanilla_system_2010_11_09.zip downloaded in step 1, but my gTablet still continued to boot loop. After a fair amount of panicking and looking over all of the threads here, I found that gtab_full_vanilla_system_2010_11_09.zip added ClockWork Recovery so I was able to use this to copy over the update-smb_a1002-2967-user.zip to my internal SD, install it, and get my gTablet working again. When the problem happened the second time, I used the method above and it worked for me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

You mind if I steal these directions? It's more detailed than the one I wrote up on my TnT Lite post. I'd like to post it there (specifically the command file, as some people have issues understanding the "SDCARD2" change).
And thanks for posting your experiences to help the other users here!

Same here Roebeet thanks for your work...dcomm222 thanks again... So I tried to only install the TnTlite 2.0 from the microsd card, it read it, looked to have loaded it, and it went right into the bootloop again.... I really want TnT lite ......
so now i am going to try your method... fingers crossed

I had no luck trying to re-flash to 2.0X once I got in the boot loop - I couldn't get past it no matter what until I went back to stock. Once I was back at stock I could re-flash to 2.0X from the internal SD. I'm still trying to figure out what's getting me in the boot loop - everything seems to work great for a while.
Good luck!

I would like to try other Roms but dont want to mess my tablet up..
BTW i got this EUL when it rebooted especially sections 4.1 and 4.2 wtf!!! sorry about that but that is how i felt

If I remember correctly, the stock firmware with the OTA update will prompt you to accept a license and prompt to set the time, etc....
I just flashed the TnT 2.02 again. So far it seems OK, however it did the first 2 times I did it as well. I followed all of the instructions at "forum.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=442691#post442691" except I substituted using roeboot's TnT. Once I did it I had everything working (flash, market, etc...). Both times the boot loop happened when I tried to install or uninstall something, and both times were after a few hours of use. I tried a third time and almost instantly got into a boot loop, but I think I got ahead of myself in that try and did some things out of order. The good thing is that I was able to recover each time.
Out of curiosity, did your tablet come with a gray or green cloth to clean the screen? The reason I ask is that I thought I had seen somewhere that this might be an indication of a difference in gTablets.
The EULA shows up with a new stock firmware - and yeah 4.1 / 4.2 kinda bugged me too. I never selected "I Agree" - fark that.
As for the boot loops, it seems that we still can't pin it down - maybe it's just random, I don't know.
Hi,
I was stuck after bootlooping using Cyanmod, then flashing NVflash still didnt fix the issue, this fix did it for me. Thanks for getting me back up & running. I will give another shot at using cyanmod now that I have all the files needed to get me back.
BTW< I have a green cloth. What does that mean?
Thanks,
Rich

My tab came with a grey cloth... funny thing though I got mine on the second wave of shipments to sears... I NEVER had any issues with the time i just set it and it kept the time... I remembered that when these first came out that was a problem... i thought mine was diff because i never had any issues with time reseting itself... anyway Thanks again dude for your help hope i could play this forward to someone more noobier than me
Roebeet looking forward to your TnT lites...

I now have clockwork recovery installed... How do i copy the update.zip from external microsd to internal microsd... mounting sd-ext gives an error..
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Frustration levels are high with this device!!
Thanks!
a "me too" reboot problem
I was able to install TNT Lite 2.0, then 2.11. I got Clockwork Recovery installed as well.
The market would start, but if I did a search for obvious things like "Kindle", the market would give an error that it didn't exist in the market. Thinking it was the error situation described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
I applied those instructions, and rebooted.
Upon reboot, it ended up in a continual reboot loop.
Trying to do the start with volume+power, it brings up Clockwork Recovery, and when told to wipe data/factory reset, it stays in the reboot loop. When told to apply sdcard's update.zip, it looks only at the one on the internal sdcard, which is for CWR, and goes back into the loop.
At that point I setup a microSD with the information from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9439414&postcount=7
including changing the line from sdcard to sdcard2. Again it doesn't recognize that the internal sdcard2 is plugged in, and attempts to mount it with CWR (mount /sd-ext) yields the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
So, unfortunately I'm at an impasse, like the previous poster. I just bought the tablet a couple of days ago, so I'm far from expert at tweaking it into working.
Any suggestions on what to do, are greatly appreciated.
PS - Bought the gtablet from Office Depot, and received a green cloth.
Boot into clockwork recovery and go to advanced and format SD, use the 2gb and 512mb I believe, then flash TNT or another rom. That fixed my boot loop.
It is Zeki TB782B 4.0.4 ROM (non wipe ROM and keep all your setting after flash) and the flash steps is same as the Google market link as below
You need a micro SD card insert to the Tablet TF Card Slot
If you download the file from PC
1. Download 4.0.4 ROM file from below link and extract it to get the update.zip file.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2k7l85czme1e4a8
2. Connect the Tablet with the USB wire to the PC USB prot
3. Go to Tablet USB mass Storage Screen and tap on the (Trun on USB Storage)
4. Goto your PC My Computer you will find two new disk, one is Zeki disc
5. copy the update.zip to the root the new disk of the micro SD in the tablet (Don't copy to the Zeki
Disc)
6. Goto Set UP
7. Goto About Tablet>SystemUpdate>Check Now>OK
8. The tablet reboot and go to the recovery screen
9. The recovery finish and power on again
10.. You will get the 4.0.4 TB782. Enjoy it.
Download the file and extract to get the updated file with the Tablet from the below link
http://www.mediafire.com/?2k7l85czme1e4a8
1 When the file finished download open the Es explorer
2. Tap SDcard download folder and you will find the FID BN TB782B 4.0.4 rar file
3.Extract the file and you will find the folder and a undat.zip file inside.
4. Long Tap the update.zip file and a list jump up
5. Tap on the copy to and another list will jump out
6. Tap on the uppest row name /sdcard and with jump to another page
7. Tap on the /mint/extsd and tap to lowest row OK then the file will copy to the micro SD card
8. Follow PC download steps from 6 to 10
You will get the 4.0.4 TB782B.
But there is a chance to brick your tablet and don't blame me
If you want to get the google market(update.zip) and the G-sensor Tweak just download the attached files.
Warning: All the file and rom in this post is only good for the version mark FID:BN on the back cover beside the Made in China, Otherwise it will brick your tablet
Fantastic....Now how about the 4.0.4 ROM for TB1082B FID:HN?????
Good news I guess
I did follow the instruction and did get Android 4.0.4 on my Zeki TB782B tablet. I don't see much difference at the moment but maybe using it for a little bet maybe I will see what the difference is...just using it for a couple of minutes it does seem maybe a little smoother perhaps.
Now that I've installed it, the volume buttons along the bottom of the screen disappear and reappear every so often, but that's minor. Everything else seems to be working fine.
I did find out that my directv app does not seem to work on the 4.0.4 version.

Works great! Thanks!
Dear team.
good afternoon.
I bought a ZEKI TB1082B tablet FID:HN, and i tried to install google apps, by using this method showed
Just after i tried, my deviced got "bricked" its stock in white screem,
i realized the method but didnt know it only worked for FID:BN Models.
I am asking for your help, hoping maybe you could provide a clean firmware compatible with my device or some update.zip for my device, so i could be able to install it via recovery.
i would really appreciate any help or answer that you could provide.
Thanks in advance..

Try to press the Vol+ and the power switch to see if you can go to the recovery page.
If yes, it can be unbricked. Otherwise you need to reflash the ROM.

any have de rom for this tab? ZEKI tbdc1093b
I applied this ROM to my BN TB782B and now the touch sensor doesn't work. I have tried re-applying the 4.0.4 ROM with no luck. Does anyone have the original 4.0.3 ROM so I can recover it to original? Otherwise, tablet is useless.
Thanks for the help.
little prblem
when I connect my tab to my pc, it does not show names for the tablet's drives. both just appear as "USB drive E:" and have the same contents. so how can I tell them apart?
I've seen posts in other forums about where to find files and how to do this with other devices but nothing specific to the TF700. After installing the latest system update (4.2.1) I found a lot of apps, including system apps. were crashing and the whole thing was running incredibly slow. I went into the settings and did a factory reset, reinstalled the apps and set everything up again but the same thing is still happening.
I read somewhere that flashing the system rom (which I'm guessing reinstalls the system files) might be a way to get things working again. I've never done this before, and I know things can go badly if you do it wrong, so I'm hoping someone can walk me through it, including letting me know which files I should be using.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have tried to do that but the Build Number that I have isn't on the Asus site. After upgrading my build number is JOP40D.ww_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329
All the ones on the Asus site have 2012 as the year, and I even tried the one that matched everything else and just get an error message after it starts installing.
Any ideas?

Try this method:
Download this from Asus " Version V10.6.1.14.4(WW) "
You have to decompress the ZIP File. Then you have the actual update ZIP file, then rename the File to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quote).
Reformat your micro sdcard to fat32 (make sure you do this) and copy the File to the root of a FAT32 formated microSD Card and insert into your Tab.
Now, reboot into recovery (hold volume down and power button and release when see white text on the screen) and the update install will begin without any verification of Software Version.

Download this from Asus " Version V10.6.1.14.4(WW) "
You have to decompress the ZIP File. Then you have the actual update ZIP file, then rename the File to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quote).
Reformat your micro sdcard to fat32 (make sure you do this) and copy the File to the root of a FAT32 formated microSD Card and insert into your Tab.
Now, reboot into recovery (hold volume down and power button and release when see white text on the screen) and the update install will begin without any verification of Software Version.

This did it --- Thanks very much. Renaming the file allowed the update to complete and now it seems to be working normally again. I sure appreciate the help everyone!! :good:
Hello guys, I'm looking for Google Play Services for this tablet it's with Intel and Android 4.4.4. Here are some screenshots of all info. I just can't find working Services. I don't need root, but just Services. It was bought without Google Play Store and Services. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

Yes i thought about this, but how?? I think i need custom recovery for this, but can't install one. If there is other way of installing I will be happy. Thanks.
I don't know any other way to install gapp except using recovery.
Install recovery and find your phone gapp and flash using recovery
Hello guys, just wanted to let you know that after many hours of hard work I finally managed to get Google Play Services and root working. If anyone ever needs help with this particular model or any x86 based Android tablet/phone with unknown brand you can send me private message or answer in this thread. The problem with this type of devices is that no one makes custom recovery for them that's why I had to load a temporary one. Here is a link. By following the guide there you will get in recovery pretty much 99% of time. From there it's easy just flash SuperSU package and GApps. The best and only working x86 (Intel Processors) GApps with this version of CWM recovery are Franken GApps. You flash them and you are done. You now have working, licensed and usable tablet/phone! Screenshots below! :highfive:

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;
*In case the recovery says something like "Not enough space to install zip" or something similar, please, write in this thread so I can help you.
Good luck!

Hello there,
Sorry for the off topic.
I also have the same tablet and I managed to do all the things listed above.
I was trying to update the Android on this thing by flashing a ROM of a very similar tablet (hardware-wise) and I semi bricked it but I managed to recover through the ECU shell(!). I have every partition in img using dd.
The thing is. Do you have any resources about a new ROM? I found the anzhen4_mrd7 source files on GitHub and I'm trying to build a CM build. Downloaded the source code etc.
If you want to collaborate send me a PM

Hello,
unfortunately I am not that good with Android. I don't know how to build ROMs etc., but I may learn one day. Sorry, but I can't help you.
you can root with A5C customizer R02
include original recovery package
you can recover original partition with `a5c_original_6.01.04.B5` (qfil in edl mode)
and apply TF package (hisense SD card updater)
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=19DB5749F1E9151C!5935&authkey=!AJ5IfzAYRv4ZAts&e=0ihAAA
system version should same (version is folder name) or bricked.
install method same and gapps can download below link.
[a5 root & gapps ]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/hisense-a5-root-gapps-customizer-t4097951
So this works just as easy as with the A5?
Just curious because I've done it on the A5 and am thinking of getting an A5C seeing no luck with getting Google on the Pro or Pro CC yet.
So I got the A5C. Can confirm this works.
Are there newer versions around @joygram?
I bricked the A5C. Anyone knows how can I get the ROM to flash without a Chinese number from the hinsensfans forums thread with this title?
Official release~~HLTE202N.B5, HLTE202N.B6 (A5C) public TF card upgrade ROM-L1657.6.01.04.B5

I upload the Stock ROM with OneDrive, but I can't post the link (XDA policy, I'm new on xda).
I use it to upgrade an Hisense A5 (b/w) in an Hisense A5C (color).
Hardware model is the same: HLTE202N.
Also I think it's possible to use this software to do a factory reset on a smartphone that is already an A5C.

Here the Upgrade method:
Use T card to upgrade.
(1) precautions for upgrade:
1. The upgrade operation will clear all non-factory preset user information in the mobile phone. Please transfer important information in advance.
2. Be sure to ensure that the battery is sufficient. It is recommended that the battery should have at least 50% of the battery to avoid power interruption during the upgrade process, resulting in upgrade failure.
(2) preparation before upgrading T card:
1. Prepare a TF card, first format the TF card into FAT format;
2. Decompress the downloaded software version (generally a compressed package, which is divided into multiple compressed subpackages), and copy the obtained folder named "HLTE202N_TF" to the root directory of the TF card;
3. Put the TF card into the mobile phone and put the battery into the mobile phone. Confirm that the battery power is more than 50%, if the battery power is low, please charge first;
(3) T-card upgrade process
1. Press and hold the "volume +" and "volume-" side keys at the same time, and then press the power-on key. The mobile phone will automatically enter the T-card upgrade mode to upgrade. If the mobile phone does not enter the T-card upgrade mode, repeat this operation after shutdown.
2. Wait about 5 minutes for the upgrade to end. A message indicating successful upgrade will be displayed.
3. Restart according to the prompt after the upgrade is successful. If there is no such prompt, press the power-on key for more than 20 seconds to restart the machine. After the upgrade, it takes a long time to restart the machine for the first time, which is several times of the normal startup time, please wait patiently.
Ok. After getting my hands on the file from the upper link, and after a flawless flash through a micro sd card (8gb at least) i made a torrent file for the file. At the momment only my computer is seeding it so slow download, but if others care to download and seed, the file can be reachable easily.
Here is a small dropbox link to the torrent file, so you can download using a torrent client from my pc directly.
HLTE202N_L1657.6.01.04.B5.zip.torrent
Shared with Dropbox

After flashing this rom, the software would find some upgrades (maybe two or three upgrades, one after another) so you will get to a higher version with more control on the e-ink refresh rate.
I accidentally updated Magisk on my A5C and it's bricked.
With TF card method the phone show me a black screen with these chinese and english message:
升级失败！
找不到丁卡升级文件
请长按电源键重启
(TEXT TRANSLATE
upgrade unsuccessful!
Can't find the usual upgrade file
Please long press the power button to restart)
E:ERROR: parse bin head failed!!

Many thanks in advance

I updated Magisk and it works fine.
Can I trouble you for a new version that functions with 6.07.02 firmware? The updated screen controls in the new firmware are really useful and it's a shame that I have to choose between gapps and the new software.
Can someone help me?
I am not able to flash the TF Card update to restore my Hisense A5C. I always get failed to parse bin head.

I already tried different SD Cards. I have a working Google Version Rom which I can flash with MiFlash. But when I flash the "Original" vbmeta and boot from the root package and then try TF Card update. I always get this error.
