Ok, here goes. I ordered a 7" tablet fromareseller on NewEgg. It's an AGPtEK TP704R. Out of the box, it didn't have Google Play Store. I tried installing it as an APK, and all it did was crash. Lo and behold, their support site had an update ready to solve the problem! I downloaded the appropriate firmware for my chipset (Rockchip 3066), fired up their updating software and...fail. Fail. FailFailFail. Yes, I tried five times, each time going over each step painstakingly so as not to miss a footnote. On the fifth attempt, the PC I had connected the tablet to bluescreened. Now all I get is the AGPtEK splash screen and NOTHING else. It isn't even recognized by Windows. I'm no stranger to modding, rooting, and flashing. I started out with my Incredible (running CM7 by the time I upgraded), and then continuing the trend with my Galaxy S3. I've had soft bricks before, nothing I couldn't boot into recovery to get myself out of...but the only button this thing has is a power button. Well, I guess it has a reset switch that seems to just shut it immediately off. Any suggestions?
TL;DR: New tablet bricked after manufacturer recommended firmware flash.:fingers-crossed:

Download version 1.7 of the Rockchip Batch Tool, that seems to have done the trick for me, there is a bundle of that plus the version 3.5 of the drivers for the usb floating around (not sure about policy for linking outside XDA) easy to find on google though.
Hello,
My Pioneer R1 tablet the other night decided to do an automatic upgrade when booting up and hung for hours on 14 of 18 files updated. I rebooted the tablet for it to get to the home screen but come up with the error android phone services not initinalized and then froze. so rebooted and it got to the animated pioneer logo and just sits there never loading fully. Pioneer customer support sucks with helping and the tablet has a reset button on the back in a pin hole. I pressed that the tablet turns off. The tablet still stuck on animated logo.The tablet was running stock jellybean 4.2. The Pioneer people didnt want to do any troubleshooting. told me to send it to them to fix and that if they found anything wrong other than hardware issue i am liable for the charges on to of the shipping cost. I dont have money to just hand out to people who dont have a system setup for troubleshooting. Sorry for a long story but my question is is there anyone who can help me fix this issue.
Unfortunately I'm stuck with the same issue, tablet was running slow so I rebooted it, got hit with their "system breaking update"
Spent a better part of the day trying to find a way to reboot it into recovery mode and wipe user data/reinstall but so far no luck.
Fired off a email to support, tried calling but the wait time was 54mins last time I called.
Also there is a automated announcement while waiting for call time informing everyone that they "are aware of a problem with the tablet"
If I manage to get it into recovery and fix this I will let you know how
so after further testing :
holding reset for 30 seconds: fail
holding power for 10 seconds: fail
holding power for 1 min: fail
holding reset and then power:fail
power then reset:fail
opening case to disconnect battery; FAIL soldered to the board/battery wtf ?
pinhole on bottom of case between usb and power port doesnt sync up with a reboot option

ok well this was an counterproductive day
called Cs @ 1-800-421-1404
waited 45mins on a "20min" wait
talked to someone who informed me this was the wrong number to call for help with the tablet
called Cs @ 1-888-999-0987
"we are experiencing a high call volume at this time, leave your name # and model number and we will return your call before the end of the business day"
waited until 3pm and called again finally got to talk to someone and it was horrible
I was initially told to press the reset button on the back, when I informed them that was not the issue. I was told to email [email protected] and detail my problem, after around 10mins of this, I was put on hold where 3 different ppl picked up and re-asked my problem. Finally when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told he wasn't there.
When I explained that this is not uncommon in tablet from time to time, ppl forget what they used as a lock code, or one of their children played with it and put a passcode on the device. I was informed that they cant give me any further information because pioneer hired them to field tech support questions and they aren't part of pioneer. The whole reason they cant just tell me how to boot the device into recovery is they dont know, you see pioneer failed to give them that crucial piece of information.
supervisor is supposed to be calling me back tomorrow so lets see what kind of bs this is.
more then likely I will be de-soldering the battery leads from the board to force it into recovery tomorrow afternoon/
only thing I've found out so far thru trial and error is :
power on ,hold power till first logo, press reset and hold. 3-5 seconds later screen flashes white once (either turning on or off)
tablet off, insert usb connected to pc, rapidly tap power and it will stay on the charging screen , pc then recognizes device as libusb-win32 device "Worldcup device"
still no recovery mode
ESI is actually responsible for the tablet as pioneer leased out their logo for the tablet.
This is why there is a ridiculous run around trying to get help from pioneer's cs reps,ESI got my problem sorted.
look for a stock rom dump soon.
so what files would be needed exactly....
so far I have :
aml_logo.img
boot.img
bootloader.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
logo.img
recovery.img
and still have to copy over system.ext4.tar
packaged rom file!
ok so after following this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858
I ended up with this Pioneer r1 stock rom , anyone who has a stuck pioneer want to try ?

I've been doing some searching myself, since I've got a soft-bricked R1 (Father-in-Law didn't want it any more), and from the looks of it, reflashing AML8726-based tablets is done via a rescue-SD card, or using a manufacturer produced USB burning tool:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41478-how-to-unbrick-your-amlogic-aml8726-mx-series-tablet-v20/
So it appears that the tools are out there, but I haven't had any luck finding the device-specific files that will help.
I don't suppose you manged to find a way to contact ESI's technicians without going through the support number?
There is a recovery mode i unbricked mine just a few day ago need help finishing it it's very unstable
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app
Could sort of get mine to boot...
My r1 crashed while watching a video and when I tried to restart it was stuck on this pioneer loading screen. I noticed if i let the battery run all the way out I could then get it to load up... but was greeted with dozens of error messages. This program has stopped this program has stopped. Every two seconds another error so trying to get on to google play for a scandisk app was pointless. I chose to restart and... back to Pioneer loading screen :/
Anyone ever locate a stock recovery flash for this tablet? TBT-7R1-P can be flashed via adb and ImageBurnTool. I have 2 tablets that 1, I do have CWM installed but need to connect a mouse to navigate (using a usb mouse plugged inthru an OTC cable) and nothing to restore since I'd wiped it.
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 Guys,
When the projector comes on it goes straight into a white screen without the android interface, I can take screenshots with the remote and turn off the remote control but I cant do anything else. There is no reset on the device itself so I cant reset it back to factory. Does anyone know where I can get the software firmware for this projector or know how to reset it back to factory?
Thanks
Hola, aún necesitas ayuda?
Good day.
I have a BYIntek UFO series P12 projector (Serial#: BYDZ T6ENS319070119050686).
I tried to update the firmware via USB stick. USB stick plugged into USB1. Device switched on and power button pressed for 5 seconds. Then the firmware update started with progress display. After a few seconds the update stopped with an error message that the update was aborted.
Now the projector won't start. No image appears. The operating system will no longer boot.
Please help me. Is there a solution?
Greetings from skysat
I try my luck again. Can someone help me? Is the projector now scrap? I contacted the manufacturer in China. There was only one answer. If you have an order ID, send the device to us and you will receive a new one. That's the only possibility. Unfortunately I don't have an invoice or order ID because I bought the projector used. the seller had no invoice. So I only have one option. To find someone who knows something about this. kind regards skysat
good day all! i purchase a teclast P20HD recently and its giving me a lot of problems..apps keeps crashing, keeps disconnecting to the internet and more often, it just stops working like it reboots itself randomly..i purchase this one for my daughter's online class but she cannot use it, am too desperate to make it work..i already updated it to the latest version and also restored to factory settings..i even emailed teclast but they just told me to try installing the firmware by downloading the files on their website which i did but that didn't help at all..i even tried 2 versions which is 1.5 and 1.6...please help me get this fix..thanks a lot in advance!
If re-flashing tablet's Stock ROM doesn't help then request a replacement or take tablet to authorized repair center.
