Hello All.
So the other day I paid a visit to the local skip, as you do, and I found a Flytouch Superpad 7 in its' box, so I took it home.
Plugged it in and it started to boot up, first screen had "Tablet PC powered by...." then the next screen was of the Android Droid with its' arms folded, it usually freezes here. Sometimes it will go onto a screen with "Android" in the centre, but no further.
So I have tried various combination of pressing buttons to no avail. Cannot access a recovery anything.
I took it apart and found it is a Yones Top Tech BC1003, so have been searching and searching for information and roms etc for days.
What I would like to know is, do you think this tablet is saveable?
I have plugged it into my laptop but it doesn't recognise it, but wouldn't the tablet have to boot to be recognised?
I have read thread upon thread, but still do not understand how I could get a rom onto this tablet if it is not recognised by the laptop and it doesn't show a recovery section where I could boot from a SD Card.
Any advice gratefully accepted. Just trying to save something from the landfill.
Just an update to say I managed to get the tablet up and running.
I ended up going to a lot of foreign language website through Google Translate and found some firmware for this board at the Koncaso site. Burned the .img file and put it in the tablet, which now works again.

Hi,
First of all, great site you've got there, been checking it ever since I laid my hands on my first htc g1.
Secondly, and I hope I'm not double-posting about an issue already raised, as I've screened the threads quite thoroughly.
Here's the issue I have with my MK808B.
I've tried to start it with a USB ubuntu pendrive plugged into the USB OTG (I had saved some files I wanted to transfer, didn't realize it would mess things up).
Regular start up with this hdmi key is Google tv screen > android screen > home screen.
I get stuck at android screen, no matter how long I wait.
Out of nowhere, I tried to use another 2A power supply, as this had been advertised on other threads, no sucess... I also tried to start it with a paperclip pressing the reset button, didn't work...
Honestly, I don't know what to do exactly, I think it might have tried to boot ubuntu out of the usb stick...
I think I have no option left but to flash it (thus losing all that is installed already on it).
Is there any trick that could restore things the way they were? Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks for your time and help.
Solved by flashing
Hi,
Since no mgic trick happened to save the day, I was left with no choice but to flash it.
Used rockchip batch tools, crossed my finger so the stick wasn't a clone with the mediatek chip, flashed stock plus goodies rom, waited 10-15 minutes, and voila!
good as new, got rid of the chinese apps I couldn't even log on, but got a full wipe of my data.
First post but have been reading this forum for a long time. This be the first time I have ran across an issue that has not been covered already on this forum or really any other. So here's the issue(s):
I have a stock X5 that is stuck on the Minix boot screen. I've made no attempts at modifying this device. This happened after watching some shoddy torrents of Breaking Bad. I had been noticing significant lag with the device prior to the downloads. Nothing other than standard media, social networking and gaming apps installed......there is a task killer on the device, the name escapes me at the moment.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Unplug all external devices (keyboard, external hard drives and removed SD card) and power up. Boot issue remains.
2. Unplug (then replug) power supply and start. Boot issue remains.
3. Hold reset button with pin and power up. DROID laying down with red triangle and exclamation comes up for a minute or two then it goes to the indef boot screen.
4. Held in reset button, power button and had girlfriend plug in the device. (I had no delusions of this doing anything but it stopped the gf's nagging to get it fixed for a while. I'm an electronics tech.....apparently that is the same thing as a programmer in her eyes.)
5. I've left the boot screen on for about 48 hours. Obviously this didn't fix anything.
6. Hooking the device up to my Samsung 7.7 tab. It turns on Android debugging on my tab but I really had no idea where I was going to go once I connected the devices. I just now thought of this and am planning on exploring this option a bit more with some searches. I'm quite sure there are no guides for working with these two specific devices though.
Hooking up to a computer to deal with recovery is not an option for me. I am not in the US and access to computers (other than an Internet cafe) is not an easy task. I am going to bet this is the best fix for most though.
My tab is rooted running PAC ROM if that is worth anything. This is currently my only real option for hooking up to another device. Hope to get some ideas here.
Hmm, so no one has any ideas? If using a comp is the only way can someone post how to recover an X5?

In case you didn't know, there is an (un)official Minix forum. May be they can help. (link)
Also, SomeCoolTech in YouTube has done a video on how to flash Minix X7. That could also be helpful.
Thanks for the reply. I was able to find someone to let me borrow their computer. Flashed the Finless ROM and it got it running again. The thing is not running smoothly though.
I had all kinds of issues then sent it in for rma, new x5 works perfectly, that is likely your best option. could you elaborate on your specific issues I am curious?
A couple of days ago, I was trying to get Google Play on the tablet so that I can play the games I bought since it is slightly faster and has a larger screen than my phone. After unsuccessfully jumping through various hoops, I went to clockwork it. First, I attempted to make a back-up, but looking back on it, I don't think it worked because I never got any type of confirmation. Then, with the firmware image on the extSD, I started up the clockwork. In the recovery menu, I formatted the data, but the tablet slipped out of my hands and hit the floor, jostling the battery and turning the tablet off.
Now, if I try the vol+ POW button combo, I just get a black screen. My computer understands that something was plugged in, but adb and fastboot can't find the device. If I try just starting it up normally, all it shows is the Android character standing there doing nothing. I have been trying to get this thing back up and running with any type of ROM I could, but nothing seems to locate the device except for Livesuit, but when I select a ROM for it to load, the application stops working and closes out. So I am at a complete loss at what to do.
Tablet information
Trio Stealth Pro 7c
Allwinner A13
Device ID: VID_1f3a_PID_efe8
Original Android version: 4.0.4
That's all the information I have currently, if you need anything else, please let me know and I will try to find it out.
Thank you for reading!

Man, that's some really bad luck you got there. My sympathies.
However, I was unable to find much support for your device on XDA, and I also think you may have bricked it pretty bad. my advice would be to try a visit to the service centre to get it fixed.
If you want to do it yourself though, visit this thread and see if you can figure it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android
FIXED!
Thank you thank you thank you! Your reference to search those forums led me to someone fixing their bricked tablet. Since the Trio was so similar to theirs, I tried it as well, and it worked!

I'm glad you figured it out. Congratulations!
Thread closed.
Good morning all,
Please go easy on me! I've done some quite extensive searching and trying different things out on my Acer A500 to get it working again. The story;
I bought some tablets to try and fix, things like broken screens etc. I want to try and fix them and give them to local youth clubs and things for them to use as they were asking for odd bits and bobs, for use in their groups, so obviously trying to keep costs down where possible. I've got an Acer Iconia A500 amongst them.
Firstly I bought a charger, charged up fine. Pressed the power and it went to an android screen, looked like it was loading. Then didn't, just hung. Switched it off tried it again, didn't go as far as the android, just hung on Acer screen. I noticed there was an SD card in there, pulled the back off and took it out, looked like someone had put the back cover on whilst leaving the SD in and it snapped the SD card. Put it back together went to the Acer screen and hung.
After much searching I tried the update.zip, which many were taking about. One of the ones I tried started to load and stopped at 25%. Tried a few times, still hung. Tried others and instead of having a loading bar, it had the Android guy with the spinning ball, then he falls over and has a red exclamation mark over him. Reading various other threads, and watching videos some people where saying that the update.zip is inside the download (extract the. Zip was mentioned in various threads) which maybe called "Acer_A500_Gen.........." I can't find anything like that, I've purely just been renaming the download to update.zip. As none of this was working, I tried the computer based approach, but as the tablet doesn't boot properly the PC doesn't recognise it, it see it, starts loading a driver and fails, so it seems I can't communicate with the tablet via a pc either.
Could someone help please? I don't know whether I'm renaming the downloads properly, or whether I should be using something else, I can't communicate with it via a pc (using Windows OS) really quite stuck, but after seeing it start to load I do still have faith that it's fixable?
Thanks in advance and sorry about the massive story!
Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing->w10 fail. Error message, cannot continue. unusable.Urgent
Hey,
I got Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing tablet yesterday.
It was reset to factory settings. After getting things going, it worked fine with win8.1 and updated itself. Then asked do I want to update to win 10 and after reading and ppl saying its better(and i dont really like win 8) I updated it throught windows own update screen.
After night of installing it, it was stuck on 95% (took hellish long time) and had error message on it "please install extrenal removable media and press ok" (its in finnish so translation might not be correct but you get the point)
I tried clicking yes, no affect. Then removed card, put it back in and it started to revert itself back to win 8.1 after saying not enough room or some error(cant remember correct anymore).
It reverted approx 8 hours then that error came again and now its stuck on it, it wont do anything.
I tried to create win10 install to micro SD with win10 media creation tool but it wont boot from it. It boots up, wisky logo is seen and then rolls loading dot for while, then flashes some screen like command screen, very fast, I cant read what its doing and the error is back.
What can I do? there must be some way to get to reinstall of windows 8.1bing or win10 but how? I dont know does tablets have bios or how to get to it, or how do even get it to boot up some install media.
Been googling another 8 hour but i just cannot find anything that would help my situation.
How can I force it to boot from microSD or do I need to get some microusb-female usb adapter for usb stick? I have a USB hub and throught it i was able to install the win10 installation to usb stick and microsd but idk does the tablet understand that hub(and read from it the usb stick)
i have years of experience with pc's but with tablets i dont really have any.
Tablet has 3 puttons: power on/off and volume up/down
Since I dont have manual, i dont know how to do any resets on it or anything and seller did not have one and maker is chinese and hasnt answered me.
I found old posts on internet saying ppl did get the win10 to install but none posted how they did it.
tablet has:
2gb ram
16gb harddrive
microSD port where I have 64Gb brand new Kingston class10(it works even it says on specs 32gb is biggest)
3.5mm port and micro HDMI port.
Please any help is useful and Im forever gracious to whomever can help me fix it! heck i even buy you a beer if possible
