Hi,
Complete newbie to this android / flashing thing, the plan is to:
1. Buy a Samsung i5500,
2. Flash on that awesome new ROM.
Problem: Odin seems to only exist as mediafire / megaupload download, for windows. Downloading and executing an exe file from an unknown from one of those links is against every moral fibre of my being... it's what I keep telling people to stop doing... So how do you guys do it?
Many thanks.
Some newb
It's not illegal so what's stopping you from doing it?
The only links I've seen are off some dodgy megaupload link... how would I know it's not full of rootkits and things that will turn my computer into a botnet that DOSes Iranian power plants or w/e....
If the mediafire link is posted on a thread in XDA you can be pretty certain it's legitimate.
Does anyone know if the ubuntu kit and rootfs files that lilstevie posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141 will be hosted anywhere else. His site that the links refer to appears to be down. Super excited to try this, but can't without the riles. Thanks.
same here. too bad he insisted to host the files only on that site.
Just messaged lilstevie on IRC about this.....
Update: lilstevie had a HDD meltdown and says hopefully in a few hours he will be back up but no guaratees
Thanks!!
Excellent. Thanks for the heads up. I need to get my ass back on IRC.
its back up
Back down again
It's down again... can't get a download anywhere
I am in the process of uploading this onto my online storage. Once it's done uploading, I will link for you guys to download.
Here is an alternate download source for latest version as of 10/03/11:
Download archive
It`s multiupload so stable and maybe quicker too...
Here's the deal. I'm trying to update Android on my Touch Pro 2 (this issue isn't TP2 specific, so don't stop here if you don't own one ) I cant boot into the build I just installed (It hangs on the "XDANDROID" screen) I think my problem is happening because I did not do a clean install. I figured it would work if I simply replaced the old files with the now ones from this thread now I'm at work and do not have the file available. My work has the downloads blocked from XDA Developers, so here's my question:
Can someone go download the zip/rar file in the first post of this thread and tell me which files are included in the zip or post a screen shot so I can delete all the extra stuff I have.
I'm also open to other helpful suggestions if you have any.
TIA

how i delete boot mex? ty
Hi guys,
I bought this tablet at the end of 2016. I played a lot with it, about 2 years. I sold it at the end of 2018.
These days i try to make some space in my hard drive, so i delete some files.
I have downloaded on 2016 many things about this tablet. Even now, Onda's official site is in Chinese and i saw that Onda Forum is down.
So i decided to upload here my experience, some instructions and service files about this tablet.
I will upload the files i have not at once, so before asking questions wait a little.
Enjoy
P.S : Sorry, now i saw that there is a limit on the size of files that a member can upload !! I wanted to upload the Original ROMS of this tablet (they are some GBs !!).
Please put the instructions
Hello,
I appreciate your good will gesture. I am interested in reinstalling the os on such a tablet ( I think mine is v5) and I can't find instructions and files for windows only the V820W_DUALOS_V5_32_1605279_20160602.zip(after windwos 10 reset I can't boot windows ,works only on Android). Hope you will continue, thanks.
Found solution to recover Windows 10 on tablet but lost Android
Hello , after some more search I found an interesting russian forum with many download links for this tablet. Here is a download link that contains many of the necessary files for Onda v820w from there:
........
For my case (tablet was reseted from windows options I presume, and was not able to boot anymore just some automatic repair started but did not work) , making a NTFS bootable disk with rufus and copied all the windows files from 10_V3.rar found in the download link provided and choosing ->"System image recovery"->then something about boot from EFI usb drive I remember. And it worked, it managed to reinstall windows and make it boot again by itself.
After succeeding this I became more confident and tried to update the Android form this tablet from 4.4 to 5 as I saw it has everything we need in the above link. After trying different versions of Manufacturing flash tool and Intel drivers for this tablet I managed to connect to it and make it take the provided image with Android 5 from fastboot menu when connected to laptop with the flash tool.
The only problem is it said it does not have enough space to flash system.img at around 84% on the Manufacturing flash tool loading bar. (strange as the tablet is empty,nothing on it, just default software).
Now Android does not boot anymore (haha, fixed something destroyed something).
The questions are:
-Can and how to use the other Android 5 images I found on the russian forum ? They are different type of backup files (with system.ext4.win type of files not .img files that the manufacturing flash tool expects).
From what I've read they are TWRP generated backups but my tablet has the default recovery.
-Can I convert the TWRP files to .img ?
-I found an TWRP recovery for this tablet (I hope) but I am not sure that if I flash the TWRP recovery it will not mess with the windows partitions already working on this tablet...
Here are the files I found and some english step by step tutorial for flashing the Android and a spanish tutorial for the Windows part of this tablet, on my google drive:
......
Edit: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
So I cannot post yet the links to images and the files but if somebody is interested I will sent in private massage. (If I will remember about this post in a few months , pretty lame the anti-spam rule...) Now I understand why who initiated this thread abandoned it...
RE: Links to Onda v820w windows files
Hi Olaruci,
I seem to have a similar problem to the one you and POWERSER have had. Please can you assist with the download links for this tablet. I can't boot the tablet into Android or Windows, only the system recovery option is available to me and it doesn't work.
Thanks :good:

Download links Onda v820w
Hello Grimm1,
I've sent the download links in private message.
I still did not manage to flash any of the system.img files ( I tried to unzip system.ext4.win images and change extension to .img but it's not working, not valid).
So I've changed the original recovery.img with the TWRP recovery found in the download link, and it works.
Now I have TWRP but with a small problem, it's in russian... now I try to find a way to change language (it's the materialized theme of TWRP 2.8 , and it seems it does't have a change language option)
Also windows 10 on PC needs latest versions of:
- Manufacturing flash tool (6.051)
- IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0
- iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.4 or 1.0.5 (I THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT to have latest version FOR THE MANUFACTURING FLASH TOOL TO SEE THE TABLET)
Also only connect tablet to laptop usb(in fastboot mode) AFTER opening manufacturing flash tool and AFTER selecting xml file and message "ready to flash" appears.
Hi,
I'm using an Onda v820w dual OS. I like this tablet and its dual OS capability.
I'm trying for days to find a way to change a few things but ondaforum is down so it's not easy now.
Once I succede I will give links and steps.
A first link where there is a lot to download : http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/search?q=v820w&x=0&y=0
/!\ WARNING /!\ I did not test any of the software found on the link above so don't blame me if it screw your devices.
The first step was to install TWRP to be able to flash Android 5 instead of 4.4. The one I use is in russian for the moment so I use Google translate...
Anyway I just flashed Android 5.1 found on a russian forum a few minutes ago. For the moment the tablet is on the boot anim for at least 20mn...
I will tell you.

Hi Olaruci, thanks for the link it was a lifesaver for me
I only stumbled to one problem - for some reason I can not calibrate my Touchscreen. It works, but nither the Touch PG or MS Calibration software helped me...the calibration is just off (few cm gap). Did anyone had this kind of problem and what do you think I could do to solve this problem?
Kind regards to everyone who contributed this feed....it helped a lot.
