Wish List for MTK Tablet ROM's

[sevo1984]

Tablets are like snowflakes. There are no two models exactly the same...and ROMs are not interchangeable. You are guaranteed to produce a brick if you attempt to flash a ROM designed for another device.

The best solution is to back up the firmware using the MTK Droid Tools app and zip it. Then send me a link. I can work on a ROM for you.

Thank you so much for your promt reply!
Will do so (hopefully over this coming w'end) provided that all goes well with rooting, and send you the link.
Much appreciate your warning too, don't have much experience with Android tablets, having had impression that Rockip TV sticks are almost unbrickable beasts, would have surely went on playing with fire, so you can credit yourself of saving saved one imminent world disaster

OK, I will download this and take a look over the next couple of days. I'm at work today.

[rrileypm]

OK guys...let me kill two birds with one post.....

Here's the Teclast P98 4G ROM: Download

Here's the Cube T7 ROM: Download

These ROM's are based on the supplied firmware linked in your above posts.

They are:

Rooted
Debloated
Init.d/Busybox support added
Google Play Store fixes added to increase compatibility
Write permissions added for SD cards
New bootanimation
Alternate boot.img that swaps internal/external SD cards

Neither of these stock firmwares have EBR files to adjust the user app space...so I'm not able to provide that feature.

Please report the results. As always...if the ROM checks out OK...I will create a new thread for the ROM.

And, please don't forget to donate if you can to support RileyROM development.

[rrileypm]

It should be working now.

Thank you so much. At the moment I have no tablet. Remains on track. On arrival attempt to prove it. If someone has it before, can try it and tell us how it works.

I typically don't add anything that is available for users to install from other well known sources. My job is to provide a bare bones, clean system for you to decorate and enhance on your own.

We have a rule here on Freaktab to only add our own apps/tweaks...and not add work from other developers without their permission.

cherrs, g

o.k. I managed to root it, KingoRoot was the only option that worked for me (might be because of KitKat).
Did make a backup, in fact 5 or 6 different ones, experimented a bit as it turns into a rather large file (3.3 Gb, while entire internal memory is only 4 Gb - 1.5Gb compressed with 7z). Is that normal? There was absolutely nothing on it but the factory default. Log file of the backup was as follows:

 --->>> Connect to device <<<---
ATTENTION! Requests for confirmation on the device screen are possible! 
 --- root shel it is received temporarily before reboot ! 
 --- The preservation folder on the computer: C:\Users\Goran\Desktop\MtkDroidTools v2.5.3\backups\ALCATEL-ONE-TOUCH-P320X_141124_backup_150327-180857\
 --- In phone files will remain in the folder: /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup/150327-180857/
 --- We keep blocks: 
 - preloader_and_dsp
 - MBR
 - EBR1
 - nodl_pro_info
 - nvram.bin
 - userdata_nvram_only.tar
 - nodl_protect_f.ext4.img
 - nodl_protect_f.ext4.tar
 - nodl_protect_s.ext4.img
 - nodl_protect_s.ext4.tar

 --- task end with ERROR  ---

It actually ended with error, but if nodl_otp is a partition I can create it manually with dd.

If I bakup without SD card however (which in my case was 16Gig), and with no SIM card inserted or wifi connection active, than MTK droid tools complains that it cannot backup system or user data. Bat the system is copied into a folder. In this latter case backup is of decent size (around 350 Mb zip file), but it contains only 2 folders and three files (nvram and system folders and firmware.info, phone.info and mount.info). Log file is as follows:

 --->>> Connect to device <<<---
ATTENTION! Requests for confirmation on the device screen are possible! 
 --- root shel it is received temporarily before reboot ! 
 --- The preservation folder on the computer: C:\Users\Goran\Desktop\MtkDroidTools v2.5.3\backups\ALCATEL-ONE-TOUCH-P320X_141124_backup_150327-173142\
 --- In phone files will remain in the folder: clockworkmod/backup/150327-173142/
 --- We keep blocks: 
 - preloader_and_dsp - ERROR :  Zero file, no space left on device!
 --- We keep folders contents copying on PC

 --- task end with ERROR  ---

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. I am uploading the larger file right now (assuming that it is the one which is usable), and it will take me ages as I have rather slow upload (only 1Mbs)

Thanks, G

The files I need are boot.img, recovery.img, system.ext4.img...and EBR1 and EBR2. The remainder of the files will be required for flashing with SP Flash Tool.

Thanks.

Teclast has a model code listed on the back of each tablet that you use to obtain the correct firmware. Can you please post this code so I can download the firmware from the Teclast site?

[rrileypm]

hey Rrileypm, I was talking to another user over at XDA who used the your custom for Cube T7, and he said he lost the IMEI number. Not sure what happened, but he was able to use a separate imei for the time being, but of course he wants to try and get it. I wanted to report that to ya so you would know

The included instructions...the First Time User's Guide has all of the information pertaining to backing up the IMEI number. It's a risk that is taken when flashing MTK ROM's. There is also a thread I started a while back covering this topic....in the main MTK Tablet forum.

As far as getting it back after flashing over it...I'm not sure how to answer that. Perhaps it can be obtained through Cube tech support...but I doubt it.
