The trouble is...you can't copy and paste text from a tablet that's in super secret recovery mode to a PC.

Check the link, it's possible to do OCR from the camera image of another Android device, using the Google Translate App - I tried and it works!

While I have made some good MTK ROM's thus far, this one is way different than the others...the files are in different configurations...but I'm getting the nerve to attempt a flash of my test ROM to see if it works with the newest version of the SP Flash Tool. Unless this test flash goes horribly wrong, be looking for a custom ROM for this tablet in the next couple of days. I just want to devote the required time to getting it right.

Hi,

I have deleted the chinese apks and other bloat/malwares from the rom zips (1.0.9 and 1.1.0), updated the gapps, then flashed with the stock recovery. No problems at all. You can delete the 1st line of the update script, which checks against the product name etc, handy if you have messed with the default.prop. I actually deleted the stock kernel from the zip and flashed it separately with MTKDroidTools. Feel a bit safer this way, but not sure.

Looking forward to your properly sanitised and optimised rom.

Did you have to re-sign the zip file?

Did you have to re-sign the zip file?

no. Never did in my previous fiddling with cm roms. My ignorance I guess, but seems to work.

Here's a link to my first RileyROM for this tablet:

hi rrileypm

i have a big problem, found out that i have cwr on it and not the default recovery, so i can´t update the rom from 1.0.7 to 1.0.9 or higher

my tab shows me this when i want to update via sd-card

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Warning:no file_contextsThis package is for "gp920_a1_ifive" devices; this is a "MTK"
e: error in /sdcard/F401_ifive_mini_3GS_442_V1.1.0_2140611.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted

how can i remove this recovery? do i need the stock firmware? and how to do this? hope you can help me.
can i do it with flash tool and stock firmware (but where can i get this)?

[rrileypm]

My ROM contains both the stock recovery and the CWM version.

Just run the flash tool, as stated in the instructions...and check only the recovery.img. You can then flash back to the stock recovery...and then update your firmware.

A warning about firmware v1.1.0. I tried installing it last night to see if I could dump the installed version to make a new ROM. From an powered off stated, every time you plug in the USB, it shows the battery charging screen, and you can't get into flash mode...so, until we figure out another way around it, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to v1.1.0 just yet. My ROM is based on 1.0.9.

thank you so much

i will try it after the soccer match

when everything is fine and running, i will also take a look at your rom the next days

[rrileypm]

Your team did very well!!!!!!!!!

The USA was good, but Germany was better. I hope they do well in the rest of the tournament.

[house-tunes]

thankss, i hope so too, your team did a good job


ok now i tested it, but nothing happened...

my tablet is connected and windows finds it when it is on, but now i´m confused

you write in the instruction: Note: On tablets, just turn the tablet off after you pressthe download button, and connect the USB.

ok, do i have to turn off the tablet without usb connection, start the flash tool, click download and then connect to usb? but when my tablet is off, nothing happens... i have the feeling, i do something wrong

Try the following

Power off the tablet
Start spflashtool and then press download
Connect the tab via USB

If you have the drivers properly installed spflash tool should find it and begin the flash process.

[rrileypm]

Yes, that sounds like a driver problem. Follow the steps outlined in the First Time User's Guide.

If you are running the 4pda app, you might need to quit the app if it's running in Windows.

thx guys i will take a look

i think it´s my mistake, because working on windows is not really what i like

i check the drivers and will test it again

[house-tunes]

just a little update

i hate working with windows the last hours windows installed one update after another, with reboot after reboot
adb driver is installed but there are some problems (code 10 bla bla bla) and i have to find a solution... thats why my daily working machine is a mac

i think i reinstall a clean windows and try it again. i will be back when it´s done
