Hi guys!
Since I didn't find any review to the "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" offered in the (german) cect-shop, I was wondering whether someone already bought and tried it. Specs are quite nice, IMHO and videos on youtube look promising. Can someone share his experience with that tablet?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I personally have the device and the experience so far has been good using the device.
There is a whole bunch of information over at slatedroid page where there is a group of active users.
Sorry but my post is very little so you have to head over at slatedroidpage, please replace the dots with "."
www dot statedroid dot com/forum/204-rena/
Perhaps someone wants to start a thread over at this page? Hopefully some XDA developer over here owns the device and we can get things started
overall the device has received 3 firmware upgrades so far and the community is hopeful for gingerbread to be released for this. We do have the kernel source codes for this product but do not have any developers to help us out with getting gingerbread out yet for this.
also replace statedroid with "slatedroid"
I also don't purchase this tablet, but i purchase flytouch 3 from a china site,called mcbub.com,i find they have the A9 NEC renesas tablet, here is some review in their site:
http://www.mcbub.com/customer-revie...GB-Bluetooth-HDMI-MID-black-CN101769--136318/
hope this can help you.

full root for Rena 3
Greetings, comrades!
All the usual, lazy engine of progress. Tired of doing manually as rooting and rebuild the firmware for Rena, i am wrote a script that works like a flash, but flash itself is not working, just do it root! =)
Thus, the universal root for any firmware Rena 3:
Install:
Unzip all the files and qroot directory to root SD card.
Turn off the device.
Turn on, hold VOL+ POWER.
Wait until the message "Well done. Root complete."
Reboot device, enjoy.
The necessary files and directories:
install.sh
uImage4
ff4
cramfs4
sdboot.bin
uboot-sd.bin
and directory /qroot
NOTE!
The update does not repartition and reformat the partitions do not.

Hi budy...
Hey i have a rockchip rk3066 or rk3026 (i´m not sure) based tablet that dont pass form boot logo, the specs are dual core procesor 1.2 ghz, android 4.2, 1 g ddr3 ram, 7" display, 8gb internal storage, when it works in the information about the tablet apears model M73 i have been searching in rockchip firmware page but there is nothing about this model, in the back label apears mgm0283 neither appears in the page or any site or forum i send you image of the tablet...
thaks
pd (excuse my bad english i´m not very good on that
Specs are similar to mine. Mine is a Micormax P365 (India). I am also confused with the Chipset as different apps detect it differently 3066/3168 and the reviews state that it is a RK3028....
But its working nevertheless...

I am not a Developer so i dont know about how to create TWRP and custom rom.
please make any MIUI 8 ported Rom and TWRP recovery for my device.
sorry for my English.
I need same for my kult beyound please somebody step up
Requesting the members to develope roms and recovery for my device
Greetings to one and all present here.Kindly develop some recoveries and roms for my device, ie kult beyond
This is sad.Looks like we made a huge mistake by taking this phone and look how lazy xda members are, they can't even a create a custom recovery for a phoneand they call themselves developers
Don't know about xda but we definitely had done wrong by purchasing it. Total bull****. I even got to know that this device won't get any more update for oreo. We will get stuck on 7.0 only
I also have the same phone.Have been using it for the past 10 months.It is a nice phone but It has some software-based bugs which I feel Developers here can fix -
1) Phone going to silent mode randomly
2) I have to switch on and off Airplane mode to make
Outgoing calls work
3) RAM Management is quite poor.Always above 2GB used,so it requires Optimization
4) Battery,even if it says 3000MaH,It acts like a 1000MaH.Lasts about 4 hours of screen-on time.Again,Down to Optimization I think.
I have contacted kULt about this but no fixes seem to be coming...They seem to completely ignore old Products and focussed on Marketing and new budget offerings.

Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 development
Hi folks, after I've long been working on my device and only made little progress in building LineageOS for my Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 I decided to look for other developers with similar devices.
My Mi Pad 3 (codename: cappu) is a tablet based on a Mediatek MT8176 SoC. It was launched in April 2017. The tablet comes with a 7.9" display with a resolution of 2048 pixels by 1536 pixels at a PPI of 326 pixels per inch. It is powered by a 2.1GHz/1.7GHz Hexa Core processor ( 2 x 2.1GHz Cortex A72 + 4 x 1.7GHz Cortex A53 ) and it comes with 4GB of RAM. The tablet packs 64GB of internal storage that cannot be expanded. It was shipped out with Android 7.0 (Miui) and is still on this version).
Two months ago Xiaomi finally released Kernel Source Code for my device. It was broken, but I fixed most of the conflicts, streamed the kernel up to latest linux-stable and added some features. I also tried to build LineageOS & AOSP trees, but I have to admit, I'm starting to get desperate. For this specific SoC - even it's predecessor MT8173 - there is no activie development. And that is what I am looking for!
I collected some devices that either use MT8176 SoC, or the older MT8173 SoC. Some of them have Kernel Sources, which I listed and linked below.
All questions, requests for help, suggestions, ... are welcome. If you own any of the listed devices feel free to write and help. This thread is also on Reddit.

First thanks for your initiative! And I am very interested in obtaining a Custom ROM for my Teclast T10 E3C5 device with the aforementioned MTK8176 Chipset. I cannot help you with development but are open to test it and report bugs.
Hi Goayandi,
I'm not sure how many experienced ROM developers you will get. (I'm not one of them. I have compiled and modded existing ROMs, but never ported one.) I've heard several people say they will look into building a custom ROM for mt8163 or mt8173. But that's always as far as it gets. They never come back with any results. So I was just curious, what are you getting stuck on?
As far as I can tell, one major problem with porting to Mediatek is that they modify a lot of Google's OS code like frameworks and libraries. I do see that you already have some MTK customized repositories in your github library. You may have to do some reverse engineering of the stock ROM to confirm that the MTK changes are the same ones you have in your repos. Yes, that's a huge pain. It's also likely that MTK's patches for mt81xx and mt67xx, which is probably what you have, are pretty different.
One suggestion I want to make is to start out with a ROM that's as close to stock as possible. That means building a plain AOSP build NRD90M. This will reduce as many trouble-causing variables as possible. That's how I would do it. If you accomplish that, it will be easy to move on to higher Android versions or LineageOS, etc.
I would also use the prebuilt kernel for now. There is not much point to compiling your own for the same reason I just mentioned. A lot more variables would enter the equation. (Unless maybe you can test it independently with the stock FW.)
Any chances of giving TeamMAD access to one of these devices?
I have a Teclast T8 stuck in fastboot mode. No recovery, no system. adb cannot see the device. Is there a way to recover from that?

In T10 thread I have heard of same kind of issue. Disconnect battery (solder) or wait for device to die, then charge and it should be fine

I tried that. That would work if recovery were bootlooping, and system were intact. In my case, my T8 cannot get to system. The Teclast Logo goes through its animation on startup, then gets stuck there. Holding volume up and power gives me 3 choices: recovery, fastboot, normal. Recovery and Normal are both broken. Fastboot is the only one I can do. How to recover from that?

You need to reflash firmware/rom with the sp flash tool.

You should flash stock firmware on your tablet with SPflash tools. Search for Mediatek SPflash + your device name in Google. Flash procedure should look like this:
FLASH Mediatek device
- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select "scatter-Loading" and search MT8173_Android_scatter.txt in ROM
- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool
- Select "Download Only" or if upgrade "Firmware upgrade"
- Turn off your phone (and don't turn on the phone).
- Press “Download” button to start
- and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.
- And green circles display
- Finish !
- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.
So you should look for your ROM/FIRMWARE and than flash it. Key step for you is to turn of the tablet, push download button in SPflash tools, and then connect USB to the tablet. Flash will then start!
But Google for instructions on how to use SPflash
Thank you, BiG_FooT and fastmix! Leaving it in power off state before SP flash was the missing step. I don't know how I missed that in previous Google searches. Fully working tablet now.
I now have two of these things. If you (or any others interested in developing this Mediatek) want me to use one of my Teclast T8s for testing for you, let me know.
Has anyone successfully flashed the firmware??
The system.img for all the ROMs is corrupt
Hi! I have an Alfawise Tab (rebranded JDTAB 01) with MT8173 chipset and android 6.0.
I managed to find the stock firmware and recovery, so i tried to port this TWRP recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-mi-pad-3-cappu-t3744185 unsuccessfully, maybe because of the different android versions(?)
I don't know....
Does anyone know how to port- build a custom recovery for these chipsets (mt8173-76)?
Or know if there is a working TWRP based on android 6.0 and these chipsets?
So, is there still any development? Where kernel-sources for Teclast devices can be found?
What an utter failure. Of both the manufacturers and the community.
It's fairly clear that the problem is hardware fragmentation. There is just too much diversity in Android hardware platforms, even too many different ARM-based CPUs, and too few users on many of those to justify a major development effort for any of them.
The moral of the story must be: if you want your tablet to remain useful for more than a couple of years, don't buy a cheap Chinese generic one made by a company that isn't a famous global brand. Stick to hardware that has sold in the millions.

What we really need to do is reverse engineer a few roms already built for these chipsets, then see what they all have in common. This will help us figure out what needs to be done to the kernel, and what firmware we need.
Any news? Has anyone tried to flash GPD firmware on one of the other tablets with the same chipset? I have a Chuwi Hi9 with MTK 8173 and I would love to be able to change the ROM, the default one sucks big time. I actually bought it because it had the same chipset as one of the GPD devices.
Where To Start??

Hi,
If I were you I would start by having a really good look through the MTK_X20_BASE_AOSP open source code here https://github.com/archermind/MTK_X20_BASE_AOSP
In that you will find all the required mtk binary's and documented associated google dependency's and stock mtk app's needed. Dig through all the make files and compare your project_confg which should be in your system/data/misc on 6.0 and vendor/data/misc 7.0 with the one in that source to see whats built.
Because it's mediatek it's messy and things are all over the place but after days of reading it you can kinda start follow the rabbit eventually :laugh:
Take what you need and assemble it into a nice logical fashion using a experienced dev's work as a example and try a AOSP build if that works then try Lineage.
When you have things stable follow others who have stepped up in firmware version.
Most things should work if you have a working kernel.
Best place to start would be HERE it's invaluable :good:
There are other places and make's for BT WiFi GPS etc etc so ensure to explore it well.
Obviosly get the blobs from your own device if poss else pinch them form that source and give them a try it's all trial and error.
If I ever find the time I may join you one day to build a rom for the Lenovo Tab2 mt8165 please note most of these mt8xxxx have a equivalent mt67xx/mt65xx see my sig below for a example.
Good Luck and Happy building :fingers-crossed:

Hello!
Do I have a chance to do this with my teclast T8 device if I don't have even kernel-source code? For now I've ported most of firmwares different from my stock ROM (MIUI, ZenUI etc). But I would like to upgrade android version ( Nougat to Oreo) if it possible. Since not so long new device ( alldocube X) was released on same chipset (mt8176) with installed android Oreo, maybe this may help some way?

Hello To All
I have a Teclast M89 That I rooted with Magisk and have a working TWRP for backing up.
I am very interested in Testing Kernels and new Roms.I have already wiped and reflashed device a couple times -now Everything for testing,flashing, and booting has been verified.

Hello all,
I am interested in rooting and installing a custom ROM on the Chinesium phone I bought the other day and I am having a hard time getting started.
(Can't post a link to the phone but a Google search of E&L S60 should get you there)
Rooting seems to be specific to the model of the phone and processor type, and I am seeing nothing that coincides with my model number.
CPU: Arm64 - V8A
Model: S60 (full_kxd6753_65_s60)
Manufacturer: Alps
OS: Nougat (7.0)
Does anyone know how to go about figuring out
1st - How to Root this thing
2nd- What ROM to install
Do I just look for other phones with known Rooting techniques that closely match my hardware? I'm not adverse to bricking it, but I also don't want to just see what happens by trying something that has a high probability of bricking my phone either!
Any and all guidance and/or suggestions would be welcome!
Screw that guy! lol!
Well.. I soft bricked it. YAY!
I used the ROM for a Umi Iron Pro with the exact same specs... and BRICK.
Any pearls of wisdom?
Please?
