So I don't know much about Android in general and I haven't found a lot of resources about this tablet. I'm familiar with ADB and some Java but not much else. I've stumbled across this forum many times in my search and figured that someone here might be able to help me out. I would like to force upgrade it from the current Android 4.4.2 to a version of Android 7 if that's possible. The only information that I have about this tablet is that it has a Qualcomm MSM8960 SoC and 2gb of memory. I have the Elo 15 in I-Series 1.0 for Android model. I would link the spec sheet but apparently I'm not allowed to do so. Also, If it's possible to upgrade it to another ROM like Android 7, can I keep a copy of the current ROM it's running if I ever needed to go back? I haven't been able to find the stock ROM anywhere online so is there a way to maybe pull it from the device?
I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you for your attention.
So this is a question I had but I’m going to try to do the same thing as I did to my Nook HD+. Look up Nook android 7 and it will link you to some files to download and then you have to mount them and put your ELO in recovery mode. The file sets come with a bootloader that in theory the boot-loader should unlock the unit to be able to run play store and all that good stuff. Currently working on the same unit myself.
And as for the OEM software you can try to reach out to the ELO support and see if they can send you a factory ROM

Hi,
Like most i have been on the fence waiting to get a Android tablet. Was looking at Archos 101 or Advent Vega. Then i find this one which doesn't seem too bad a price, can someone else have a look and advise if it's any good, i know it's no Galaxy Tab. I did want a 10inc screen but for the price happy to settle for a 7inch screen. Has anybody used both sizes, is there a great difference in the expirience?

Also it says access toAndroid market, i didn't think any tablet had that at the moment officially?
Thanks.
Hiya, quite a few of us have one of these now and have already started rooting and hacking it!
More info here: http://scrolltabletforum.co.uk/site/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=127
First of id like to say hello
Now the reason im here 8) ...i got given this tablet & i think ive bricked it. Everywhere i look loads of people want help yet can seem to get any, to try & fix it. Then i found here & you are my only hope i haved posted this exact message in a few tablt modding / help forums to no avail
When i start it the damn thing gets stuck on the Scroll screen (maker screen) i cant use the recovery tool as it wont go into it.
Android SDK ADB cant see it but it does put a fastboot driver on when plugged into my PC yet all i get is Fastboot ? when i use the fastboot devices cmd
So as im a noob i was wondering if any one can help with this as im running out of ideas now ! the link shows the device & specs (couldnt post it but its the entry level one NOT the captive )
Specs:
Arm11
Telechip 800mhz (8900 i think)
2gb Nand
Firmware = 0.94
Kernal =2.6.29
Android 2.1
Thanks in Advance for any help
jimbo
P.S. i have a back up of the files but to big to attach here at just over 150mb so i uploaded it to megaupload hope that's ok with rules here (i cant post the link here as im a noob but if you can help & need it PM me & i will give you the link via an email)
Let me start by saying I am not completely new at this now and have unlocked, rooted, and installed some custom firmware (or is rom the preferred term?) on a few other more popular brand devices. Being as they were popular that made it super easy to find information, tutorials, and files. While I understand the basics of all the things I was doing and have learned a lot about using ADB and fastboot for instance I am still a bit lost on a couple key items.
So I recently however bought an iRulu V1 phone off of Amazon. While I was able to resolve how to root the device, which I can post about if anyone is interested, I can't seem to find enough information about custom recovery and roms. So here are some basic questions I have, which again I guess I should know since I dove in head first on my other devices, but I am still not sure when it comes to these things and really should understand them
1) Do I need a version of CWM or TWRP made for this device specifically or is there some generic that works for any device?
My device came with KitKat 4.4.2 no upgrade available form manufacturer currently to 4.4.4 or any update for Lollipop. I would love to install the latest version I can of course.
2) Similar to question #1, Is a custom rom needed to get any higher version of Android or can some generic version be installed?
3) On both question above, where does one begin to locate these generic or standard versions?
4) If there are generic versions of the recovery and/or Android rom, What are some of the caveats I might run into using them? More meaning what features might simply just not work?
5) I cannot find an image of the rom included with my phone from the manufacturer, What application or process could I use to be sure I have a complete backup I could restore should I do something stupid?
I tried an ADB backup and the image it created seemed way off in size even though I was using what I thought were proper parameters to get everything including the system.
I really have these questions as I still think of Android like one would of Linux for instance. If I have a computer Linux can run on, I can usually find a very generic ISO to get the OS installed and customize from there. I guess that is really what I am trying to do here, get as updated a version of Android as I can and then make everything work by loading modules or drivers as needed. I guess finally, Is that not really how it works with the Android OS ?
thanks so much for any answers or insight. I have thus far like many others found the info here invaluable while playing around with my various Android devices I have. I hope too that my post is falling into the proper format requested by this section, apologies if not.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You're right, there is no information about your device on XDA. In general, only flash recoveries or roms that are specific to your device. There are no general ones. Flashing something that is not specific can brick your device. Your best bet is to ask specific questions about your device here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help and hope someone else with your device can help.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thread closed.
Thanks to the senior members who are helping me to get around the XDA site. I will get the hang of it
At the beginning of the week I had posted this thread in the XDA-Assist section and I am now starting it here. I am not sure if my old post was moved to here or not so here goes. If this is a duplicate I am sorry.
Thanks
"I recently bought this tablet from Amazon and I've been scouring the net looking for root solutions. Ive tried most of the popular one-click tools without any success. Here is what I did learn, this tablet has a mediatek MT8127 chipset, running stock Android 5.0.1 on a 3.10.54 kernel. The build number is ALPS.KK1.MP10.V 1.18. Ubuntu 14.04 recognized my tablet only after updating 51-android udev rules. I was finally able to execute adb shell successfully. I was able to reboot into fastboot, but not able to unlock it. Some interesting information that I learned along the way....when I plug my tablet into my PC it's seen as a MT65xx Android device, but when it's in fastboot my PC sees it as a HTC device. I had to update adb_usb.ini to recognize both a mediatek and a HTC device in order to reboot through my Linux command line. I contacted Hipstreet customer service and ask for any information that they would be willing to impart to me, but they weren't much help. I haven't tried building any cwm as of yet since my bootloader is still locked. Any help would be great. Any progress that I make I would love to share. If more information is needed about this tablet just reply and I will do my best.
Thanks,
MitMat"
My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.
Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....
OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?
Your rooted, but stuck.
So my main question is:
What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?
On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.
Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?
Thanks in advance.
Additional backstory if helpful.
I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers.
I have discussed this problem in another thread if more details on all this specific to this device are of interest.

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.
It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?
The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks

The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..
Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..

Totally cool. It's a tough question.
The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
Anything at all that someone might have for this device would be useful. I'm trying to see if I can get a Lineage install for it, or even just a backup ROM before attempting to debloat it a bit (I'm an Android newbie and like having a backup), but I can't seem to find much of anything on it on Google.
The device does have an unlockable bootloader, but I'm not sure how I would go about using this to any of the things in the topic.
E: For the record, I should probably explain why I'm so desperate for this--not only am I wanting to debloat this device, but ideally, I'd like to try flashing a generic system image to see if it can update to Android 12. Android 10 works fine on it, but I'd very much like some of the introduced accessibility features--however, I also want a backup of the original firmware, just in case something goes wrong.
I would also like for someone to answer this...please.
Has there been any luck with 9048s? I have same model and been looking also for the same exact solution.
