[Q] Chinese tablet Wifi Problem

Hello XDA Community
Before I start, I'd like to mention that I've thoroughly searched the forums for an answer and got no luck.
I recently bought a chinese tablet from ebay of model number IRULU- AL101 and it was working fine until i'd decided to use pimp my rom app from the playstore and it was a doddle and worked great as the system had come rooted and open from the box. The play store stopped responding and nothing the the tablet would work, it would turn on, but not let me run any programs. Id also downloaded the pimp my rom 'recovery tool zip file' but I soon realized i couldn't flash it as once i booted into recovery, It worked fine but I couldn't actually use the controls to change the recovery options as the only button that worked was the power button which was highlighting the 'restart phone' which rendered the whole recovery utility useless.
Upon contacting the website owners from ebay, they said I should re flash using the phoenix burning tool onto my TF Card the software I'd downloaded from their website (it was the correct one, yes), which I did and it flashed fine. However after i restarted the tablet, I found that the WIFI wasn't working (It just says turning WIFI on and stays there) and after some further research I found out that this maybe due to a faulty kernal or wifi setting file of some sort.
My entire previous android rooting experience is when i used XDA Developers to help S-off and root my HTC Desire and wildfire phones, but I'm still a rookie at these matters so please go easy on me.
The information I can gather from my tablet is as follows:
Model- IRULU- AL101
Android Version- 4.0.4
Basebrand Version- 1.5rc4
Kernal Version- 3.0.8+

Build Number- crane_al101-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121113 test-keys
I can provide more information if it is needed and you can direct me on how to get it for you.
It contains ethernet internet connectivity but it is an absolute hassle and massive pain to use it as i means me sitting in a dark cold room really awkwardly with my router. Internet DOES WORK but only with ethernet, but the WIFI DOESNT WORK and I often use it in college while tethering to my phones internet through WIFI.
Please could someone help me out and advise me how I can fix the WIFI?:fingers-crossed:
Thank you- Fahad

A solution...sorta
I have the same Al101 tablet and problem, Fahad. As you found, the software IRULU provides leaves WIFI disabled.
Researching the problem I found the tablet is sold under many names, so I opened the case to get the real story. Here's what I found:
The board: i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/kdhaley/BC1003BOARD.jpg
The CPU: i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/kdhaley/BC1003CPU.jpg
The board is a Yones TopTech BC1003 with an Allwinner A10 CPU. It is marketed here: yonesnav.com/products/bc1003.php
After hours of learning and searching I downloaded the LiveSuit installer from topnotchtablets.com/LivesuiteInstall and the ROM from d-h.st/fho and flashed my tablet using the instructions at slatedroid.com/topic/36789-livesuite-guide-allwinner-a1x/.
It's not perfect; WIFI works but GPS doesn't, so I'm going to tinker with it to see if I can get everything right. These look like promising candidates:
old.androidfilehost.com/main/Allwinner_A10_Developers/christiantroy/aokp/ (Ice Cream Sandwich - that's what we've got now)
slatedroid.com/topic/57538-rom-aokp-jelly-bean-android-412-allwinner-a10/ (Jelly Bean! will it work?)
Good luck, Fahad.

Hey Supercereal,
Thank you very very much for this information, I've been tryiing to get them to exchange the faulty tablet but at over 70 pound shipping and postage costs to me, Its much less of a hassle just to Save up a little more and invest in a decent tablet!
Thanks again for the detailed help, I will be using these very promptly and seeing if they work any better. However when people say 'connect your tablet to your PC', how exactly do i go about doing this? Could you describe the sort of cable I would need or maybe i just need to flash a TF card with the firmware image and turn on the tablet again like mentioned in the original tablet's instructions? Please could you link to an article or briefly explain this? Also, could you check for me if the sensors are also functional or not? I would really like to play the game Temple run 2 on mt tablet, but ven it if doesnt work, any decent stable roms will have to do
RSVP
Thanks, Fahad

Sadly, the sensors are NOT functional with any firmware I've tried, even the stock firwmare recommended by the company. I'm thinking there is a critical bit of information missing from the installation procedure. I wouldn't blame you for giving up and buying a better tablet; I'm thinking the same, but I'll keep fussing with it and let you know if I make any progress. The learning curve is a challenge.
The cable mentioned is a basic UBS cable such as this: amazon.co.uk/USB-Male-2m-Cable-Black/dp/B0018I97M0.
I have had better success with the cable method versus the TF card.
Good luck!

I've found a ROM that works at docs.google.com/folder/d/0B_88d7OJP9HPWWEwejlSQkQ0X2s/edit. Everything seems to work except GPS.

Hi mate,
when i wrote that it is bug free, that was because my wifi headunit is always on, means, I have connected it to the home network and work network, for that reason I always have the right time when I got in my car, not if I turn off the car and start it up again after a few hours!.. so the time of this HA A9 need a wifi connection but when he get it from the (wifi) i-net your headunit get the right time immediately, in comparison with the previous A9 version it did not work via the network neither, but only by rebooting the headunit, I also tested it today via gps only (when I went to visit my younger brothers) and this unfortunately did not work, so it is not solved yet via gps for our (old?) A8 headunits, you can connect it to the i-net from your phone as a hotspot or tether and then you always have the good time indicated.. means problem has been solved!, what I have thought about it in the meantime, it is a combination of fw update but also a mcu update must be done, we need a real A9 headunit to compare it of the indicated time on their original A9 devices is works as well there without any problems with both gps+network?, as you may have known that our A8 is "not really yet entirely suitable or made with its obsolete components perhaps?" for the newer A9 ?.. I could be wrong about that ofcourse.. that is possible too!
let us wait patiently for the next update of the HA for the A9.. maybe they will also fix the gps time too? or a newer mcu file will be the solver?

Hi mate,
something strange happened with my indicated headunit time today, today I had to replace my car windshield, there was a bit crack in it, very sensitive windshield because it is provided with heating elements, means not dubbel glas, there at the windshield replacements company, after about 2,5 hours I had finished the replacement and when I left the company I looked at the headunit time and it was very correct there, I also turned on the times via gps in the morning, why and what was the reason for it? I don't know that either, but I just left it on, but after I went to visit a fam and after a few hours of my visit I startup my car again, and the time was not correct again, that literally surprises me because I just have a satellite reach/range through my navi as well when I start a newer navi route!
did they connect it my car to the wifi for some modifications or testing things while I was waiting there? maybe.
That's mean:the time is not been saving on the memory of the headunit as usual with A8, when I turn the car off the time receiving is also turned off and stays off. maybe with a newer update they will solve that too as they did it with the from network?

Windshields in the Front with heading Elements block almost any GPS Contact. When the GPS is installaed in the dashboard it becomes worse. Try to rearange your gps mouse.

Hi mate,
thanks, it is idd in the "inside" of the dashboard placed, that how I always did with my all purchased (from years ago until now) , placed behind the back of the headunit itself.. as I have written, I don't have any navi gps connections or signal received problem etc, but the time now got its update from the wifi / network instead of the gps.. maybe a newer A9 update will gonna be fixed it?
Anyway, thanks again for the good tip mate!
Goodluck

Wireless Android auto

I bought a new kenwood DDX9905S. Android auto works fine but not wireless. Does anyone know if it's software. Like can I use a custom ROM to get it going. I tried searching but only came up with a 6t thread and no real answer. It's not a huge deal but it would be nice to not have to plug my phone in on short drives. Thanks for any info you guys may have.

witson android 9 pie cropped screen help

Hello XDA community hope you're all doing well! I recently installed an after market double din deck which is android 9 pie by witson. I decided to update the firmware to a 10 after booting everything on screen is stretched or not even fully showing instead everything looks cropped. I am not sure what to do. The OEM is unlocked. I was wondering if any one of you guys may know what I can do to resolve this issue would be very much appreciate it! Thanks for your time

First, that's not Android 9 Pie. That's Oreo 8.1.0. And I'd be willing to bet that any update to that unit is going to STILL be 8.1.0. Was the update you applied one supplied from Witson directly, or a custom build of some kind?

What is the MCU type, are you sure this is a MTCD/E?
Take the time to read the forums.

Any tips? Advice please

Anyone help?

It's not that we don't want to help you, but I guess nobody has seen or used a system like yours before.
The only thing I can advise is to have a look at the Jaguar UK forum.
Edit: and take a look at this post. The topic is different but is it a likewise configuration like you have?

Thank you and sorry i dont mean to offend anyone, i was frustrated and annoyed as there is no support of the buyer and to top things up i done a factory reset on the unit to see if it would sort the problem out! But it did not but has bought me more problems The fyt centre does not delete and on top of that no matter what i have tried no launcher is working on the unit, when i try to select a launcher which has installed it comes up with a error saying it has stopped working!
This android business is new to me and im not very savvy with im happy to pay someone to sort the problems out as time is very short due to work etc.. may be if i upload a video of what the problmes are? Do yo think that would help?
Thank you and sorry again

Maybe. If there is a user who recognises your problem and knows a solution, he/she might help you.
For me personally, and I think most others: We have never seen such a combination and don't know anything about it. In that case a video won't help as we have no knowledge of your unit combination and how it is supposed to work.
