[Q] Herotab MID816 or equivalent 8" Samsung S5VP210 tablets

I've used the search but only found one reply about the Herotab MID816 (and all its equivalent 8" Samsung S5VP210 tablets).
My question is this: anyone building a custom rom for this tablet maybe?

There's quite a bit of discussion on tablet firmware/roms over on slatedroid, the MID816 included.
http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?board=168.0

Can someone please help us get full root? Thanks.

I am only posting here because I can't find the thread that addresses my prob.. I need help with my Herotab MID 816. I can't get rid of the original owners Google account which means no access to Google apps. Can anyone please help?
Thanks!

Did you try to add another Google account first, let it sync, then remove the owner's one?
On my 816 tablet this works.
Another way is to re-flash the tablet and then add your account.

I tried the first suggestion about adding another user.. The new user was added but still could not remove the initial user so I ended up upgrading to the new firmware and erasing the existing data. Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello again guys!
Ok after some (Lots) of searching i finally found firmware update 20110311 i think this is the latest (please feel free to correct me) and i even managed to get into the update firmware menu (power and menu button) now even though i can use ADB to reboot my device, i can connect the usb and transfer files to/from my computer when the tablet is on, the firmware update tells me that there is no driver for this device.
Went into device manager and there's the yellow mark, (cant update driver tried that) here's where it gets odd, the Yellow exclimation mark on the driver in device manager says Android 1.0 Yet i am running Android 2.3.1 maybe thats why i cant get the driver to work (Except for files tranfers) found a driver package but at a loss on how to install them as its a winrar file.
ANYONE who can advice on this, or has had the same issue please post a response

[Q] How can I get the Android Marketplace on my Alldro device ?

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!

thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing

thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?

could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?

nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?

ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli

You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.

[Q] T02A internal memory says 0, no install

ok so this is my first post, ive been messing with android for a year now, first rooted about 2 months after i got my first phone(verizon lg vortex which is also screwed up(boots up but doesnt go past the verizon logo after the lg logo) anyways i thought id save money ordering a "non-branded" tablet Model: T02A (It is the same as EKEN T02 i think)
7`capacitive touch screen 800x480
4GB NAND FLASH
512 MB RAM DDR3
ARMv7 A10 Cortex A8 1Ghz
0.3 mpx front camera
Kernel 3.0.8+
OS - ICS 4.0.3
but after installing titanium backup i simply used the reboot the device option, come to find out it basically factory reset itself and now shows 0 in the internal memory but 37.7MB of apps, it wont let me install apps and there is no way i can find to direct it to install in another location, i can download apps from anywhere but the market but no install, is there anything i can do to get the int. mem. back or somehow flash the original os? ps i have aalready tried hard resetting both with vol down and power and the settings>backup&reset>factory data reset>reset tablet.
as it is i can use it as basically a video screen with stuff on my sd and surfing the net, but i bought it with a bit more in mind. if anyone can PLEASE help i would appreciate it, and im sorry if this post is a bit long...

Dear Friends,
I am a newbie to android.I also faced the same issue after rooting my T02A tab(Telmoco tab,a Indian company but Chinese re-branded device).
I bought it for my wife and did some experiments with it(rooting).Later its automatically doing factory reset in every booting.Also every time I need to login to play store after turning off the device.So she is very upset with the tab as I bricked it.So I did lot of research to bring it up as you guys are trying.After googling I found a support website of EKEN tab (eken.com/support/) and downloaded firmware for T02A and a livesuit(firmware update utility) from another website.
First download both links from below mentioned websites.
Please note that I am not an expert so what ever you are doing please do it on your own risk.
Also these steps and all I found from diffferent google searches so I won't be able to help you if you ask me any questions.
I am happy to answer but no idea about it..
Lets start
Firmware link from eken site for T02A is f t p://202.105.131.8/t02.rar
Livesuit link whatisandroid.me/LiveSuitPack_v1.07.zip
Extract livesuit rar file to a folder and run LiveSuitPack_v1.07.exe and it will extract all the contents to same folder.
extract the t02a.rar(downloaded firmware)and yo will get the following file "sun4i_crane_t02a.img" .Later we need it for firmware update.
Run "LiveSuit.exe" inside the livesuit folder(run as admin)
Now the livesuit user wizard will popup.
If the popup didn't came automatically then choose "wizard upgrade" manually
I prefer you to use the upgrade guide.
so press yes
Choose Mandatory upgrade mode as it is recommended
It will tell you to remove all connected usb devices from your PC as it may interrupt your process.
also remove the power source from the Tablet.
press next
then select yes for to select image file
choose the "sun4i_crane_t02a.img" (extracted firmware file)
The livesuit will tell you to power off the tablet by pressing power button for 10 seconds.
once the device is off press and hold any button except power button .
Then connect the tablet to the computer using your usb cable.
press power button 10 times quickly.
The device will now go to recovery mode(If I am correct)
Then the usb will try to find the driver automatically for upgrade(I am using windows 7 so it found driver automatically)
Then it will update the firmware if you are lucky.....
Sorry for my bad english.....

Fix From Another Post
I found a solution, hopefully this can help someone in the future
The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.
To fix it :
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full. If you cant install the terminal use Uniflashv2 (open uniflashv2 and connect your device with the debug usb on, go to rom modding, then file manager)
2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"
3. power off then power on (reboot)
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal
jeewa19 posted this fix, and it helped/ was my exact problem. I hope this helps others as well :cyclops:

i used this to root my hp slate 7 tab.....should work for you my friend but at your own risk....after using this i used unlockroot tool just to remove the chinese root app and install super su....hope this helps....
While searching for a method to root the JB build for the yarvik tablet of my family (usual methods have not been successful), i stumbled upon the following Windows based method that now i want to share and should work with a lot more devices:
On your PC:
1. Install USB/ADB drivers from your manufacturer's website
2. Install & connect via http://www.moborobo.com Management Tools, loads own device specific ADB-drivers
3. Download & install this Chinese piece of software from http://www.shuame.com/
In case you don't understand what you do:
- On Website press blue download-button with arrow pointing downwards
- During Installation uncheck every checkbox except the one that grays out the next-button upon unchecking
the download has been a bit slow for me (10kb/sec), if it fails or the take it offline: drop a comment, perhaps i can share the setup file somehow
4. On your device: turn on USB-debugging
On your PC:
5. Run Moborobo Software, then plug your device to USB-Port, wait until Moborobo has recognized it (in my case i had to click some dialogues...)
6. Run freshly installed software from Shuame.com (titled Ë¢»ú¾«Áé in my start menu)
7. When shuame-Logo appears on your device's screen, head on the windows-software towards the 4th icon in the top row; on the appearing screen click on the 4th icon in the 2nd icon-row (the android with some chinese signs + ROOT as title)
on your device:
8. download SuperUser (or superSU) from Market or install via other sources (if not already done)
9. replace asian root / su files (recognized as older versions) with newer ones by SuperUser or superSU
10. delete 2 chinese shuame-APKs from /system/apps directory or uninstall via Titanium Backup
11. => you're done.
if more than 10 People complain they can't find the right button's to click
then i'm willing to post a few screenshots...
else: have fun!
oh, and if this worked for you: drop a comment and let the others know!

thank you

[Completed] Polatab elite q10 need to completely format it and reinstall kitkat

hello ,
i am hoping for some help . i have very little android experience and knowledge , but here is the info and problem i have on my mums tablet .
tablet is normally only used by her for emails and net surfing and has standard install and set up as it came out of the box . running android kitkat .
8 yr old grandson downloaded some free games and an app to run them ( i wasn't present for this so have no info on what he did or didn't do) , the next time the tablet was turned on a load of porn app icons had appeared on the home screen and the web browsers have been hijacked by rstep.xbkptek.com , and pop ups keep appearing with some zombie cartoon strip on them or bubble games , which then turn to porn . I have run malware removers and done a factory reset , but the web hijacker is still there and the trojan is still in the system apps (system/app/rstech_teni)
, it won't let me uninstall or disable it . someone suggested i look for the device on these forums to do a team win recovery and sidled the os back on . i have searched for the device and it isn't listed here , does anyone know how I can recover this device ?

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
It's possible the tablet got rooted with one of the apps, and the malicious app got moved to the system partition to be persistent. Or it could be, as a factory reset does not remove all files on the userdata partition, the malicious app(s) keep getting leveraged.
For the latter, it's just a situation of wiping everything on the userdata partition, and then doing a factory reset for safe measure. Can do that with connecting the device to a PC, using mass storage or MTP, and then going on a delete frenzy. You may need to force close some apps first though.
If it's the former, you will need a recovery image. This could be attained by contacting the manufacturer, and then flashing it the method they determine (as the method is different by OEM). There is another option if it is rooted, but it is risky if you don't know which app files are safe and which are not.
At any rate, please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. You can try posting in the > General discussion > Questions and Answers > [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly thread. Anyone with general knowledge of all devices should be able to pick this one up for you.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

thank you , i have tried the latter 5 times and still have the problem trojan , so have contacted the manufacturer as suggested . I will create an account once i receive a reply

Good luck! Per RC request, this thread has been closed.
