    Windoze does not recognize Pipo M9 anyhow anyway.

    After much head banging and haranguing against Pipo,
    Schenzen Technology, LLC, AliExpress and Damn near anybody
    to do with my Pipo Max M9 tablet,
    I downloaded a Rom for the V1 (older) first version of the
    Pipo M9. In the Instructions to this Rom for the OLD V1 Pipo
    M9, there was this little gem of info
    which stated that the usb OTG cable micro usb connector on
    the OTG cable that came with the Pipo M9 was not long enough
    to make a secure stable
    connection to the pc from the standard usb service port on
    the Pipo M9. No, I was not using the wrong Rom to upgrade my
    tablet, I was using the WRONG
    CABLE.

    I had been using the micro-usb OTG cable with a standard
    usb male to male extension. I long ago laid aside the
    standard Micro usb to usb male cable,
    figuring the OTG cable worked in every usb port in every
    other tablet I owned or had used. Guess what, I WAS WRONG.
    There is apparently a very miniscule
    but very significant difference between the micro-usb
    connectors on the usb OTG dongle and the long micro-usb to
    standard male usb standard cable, that
    came with the tablet.

    So now I have to go back through several forums on which I
    lambasted Pipo, et al, and 'splain my self, and eat a whole
    five course meal of crow, which I will
    happily do, now that I have successfully upgraded and rooted
    my M9. Use the long std usb to micro usb cable on the std
    usb port of the Pipo M9 to connect to the
    PC and everything will go as detailed in the Rock Chip Tool.

    As Roseanne Rosannadanna once said: NEVERMIND

    My sincerest apologies to Pipo, Ms. Chen of Pipo support,

    NO, the puter does Not recognize the tablet, at all. It does
    not recognize it if I plug in the power cable and the usb
    cable on the tablet first, and then run the batch tool, it
    does not recognize the tablet If I run the batch tool first
    and then plug in the tablet. It does not recognize the
    tablet. Windoze says it does not Recognize the device, not
    that it is Unknown, it does not Recognize it, and I either
    have to plug in the device or replace it. I have tried every
    driver from every flashtool on every android site on the
    internet, and Windoze does not recognize the tablet. I have
    reloaded every device driver on my XP notebook. I have done
    a factory reset of the tablet, NOTHING works. And all I get
    out of Pipo is a recommendation to load the F***ing drivers
    First. You think I ain't tried That???

    NO, NO, NO!

    You can stand on your head clinching a pitchfork between
    your but cheeks and press all the buttons you want, this
    P.O.CRAP tablet will not register in Win Xp. Not in rock
    tools, not in supersport, not in device manager, not on a
    dell notebook running Win Xp, not on a desktop running Xp Pro,
    not on an Asus nb running Win 7, NO NOTHING WILL LOAD THE
    DRIVERS FOR OR RECOGNIZE THIS PIECE OF C PIPO M9 Max RK3188
    tablet.

    You can check usb debugging, you can uncheck usb debugging,
    you can stick a pin in its a*$ and hold reset while holding
    esc, or power, or punch all three while whistling God Save
    the F*ing King and this toilet paper holder of a tablet will not
    register in Windoze.

    Ms. Chen (Pipo support),

    I tried to connect to M9 on my win xp pc, my daughter's win
    7 Pc, rk3188 driver from Pipo, drivers from xdadevelopers,
    tabletrepublix, flashmyandroid Nothing recognizes this
    dipwit tablet. The usb does not work. The method in your
    youtube video Does Not Work. I tried upgrading with 3
    different CWM update.zips found on xdadevelopers.com,

    Nothing will recognize, connect or upgrade this tablet. As a
    toy it is fine, as a serious programming tool it is a Joke.
    The usb does Not Work. NO key combination for this thing
    works. No usb driver will load. NO img file will load, no
    update.zip file will load.


    I bought my new pipo max m9, from a vendor in China. I
    really like this tablet, however, when I tried to upgrade to
    Android 4.2, my xp notebook I am using for the update says
    it "does not recognize my new device" and I need to
    "re-attach it or replace the device". No driver from your
    site solves the problem, the Rk3188 tool does not load the
    tablet, no matter what key, button or reset combination I
    try.

    I was able to get to the CWM refresh screen in my fumbling
    around, I get an android laying down with its chest plate
    open and a red triangle with an exclamation point extending
    from its thorax. I take this to mean it is attempting a CWM
    update, but there is no valid CWM zip update file to load. I
    have a cwm update.zip for my android tv box, on a 32 gb
    micro SD card. I plugged it into the M9, it obviously does
    not upgrade the machine, but it does give me an error
    message to the efect that this is not a valid update.zip
    file. This would indicate I Could update with a valid CWM
    update.zip If i could get one.

    I am hoping that my problem with my notebook recognizing my
    M9 is M9 software/driver related, as I can find No driver
    that will load for this tablet. I hope this problem might be
    solved by an android update, which I could perform through a
    CWM upgrade, IF I could get a valid 4.2 update.zip image for
    my M9 tablet.

    I have been able to connect a usb flash drive to the usb hub
    of the M9, and it reads the usb flash drive, which makes me
    think the problem may be software related, or at least
    confined to the standard usb port.

    The vendor I bought it from sold it to me as having 3g
    installed, with GPS, but it has no 3g, and it has no GPS, it
    took so long to get it from China, that I just kept it.
    Other than that, and this recent problem with connecting to
    the usb port, the M9 has met my every expectation. As I had
    been able to transfer files through bluetooth and via my
    micro SD card, the issue of the standard usb port never came
    up, until I tried to upgrade the OS.

    seems to indicate the tablet is a V2 version, but that
    information comes from an android tech site forum, not
    from your documentation, you would know better than I.

    As I said, I have had no other problems with this tablet,
    wifi works, bluetooth works, just the standard usb port has
    some issue and I cannot get any driver to recognize the
    tablet or load in Win XP.

    Do I need to send this back to your factory for a
    replacement? Can you get me a valid CWM Android 4.2.2
    update.zip rom, to determine if this is a software or
    hardware issue?

    I bought this tablet based on my daughter's positive
    experience with the Pipo S2 that I bought her for college,
    and your reputation for solid tablet architecture.

    If you can help me with this issue I would most appreciate
    it.

    Sincerely,
    me and my address

    If you've tried all this with the orignal usb data (not otg) cable, on both XP and win7 platform, and still have the same issue - I really only have 2 suggestions; Make sure you're using the original usb data cable, connected to the USB port, not OTG/host. Run RKAandroidTool, connect the tablet while /powered off/ - then boot the tablet by holding "volume up" ( or ESC, depending on button function) + Power. Hold for about 15 seconds.

    If this doesn't work - you should send it back if they'll take it.

      I was using three different usb otg cables, no love. Found a ROM instruction that said only OEM micro to USB cable had connector long enough to connect securely to tablet, and it worked.DOH! Tnx for response.

        Glad to hear it worked out some people have reported success with carving off excess plastic on a regular 5-pin microusb-usb cable.

        AFAIK, USB OTG cables/adapters are internally wired for otg function. If long enough, the tablet might still try to operate in host mode, attempting to put the computer in slave mode. Woule explain some of your errors...
