Cube T9 ROM/Tools/Mods, etc

[BamaPanda]

the heat gun is necessary only if you open the tablet from the front side.

Post 335 lays out the difficulty getting into some tabs. I think this is where I got the info regarding heat guns being needed in some builds a bit more than others.

In description I said "Working TWRP" and @Rabinowitz says "It works very well"
You don't trust us?
TWRP is in english and works.
Excuse me if you feel insulted in any way through this post.
You have any response from these spanish developers regardind TWRP for your T98?
You should try this ...It could work for you too.

[giouncino]

I suppose it should work for T98 too, as Edius stated.
Flux1000, let us know!

I hate to appear to be a total noob, but I need instuctions .....

Please!

TWRP Instructions

I need instuctions .....

I think you have already installed drivers. If not, look into my Google Drive link and try Cube Talk 9X_T9 - Original Drivers x86_x64.rar / Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1352.00 or PDAnet_4150.rar (there you'll find some instructions too)..all these drivers are working with T9.
1. Download TWRP_Recovery+CUBE-T9.rar in your PC link
2. Extract archive and you'll see MT6752_Android_scatter.txt and recovery.img files.
3. Power off tablet.
4. Open SP Flash Tool v5.1452.00 from my Google Drive link or any version of SP Flash Tool included in previous T9 ROM's V1.02 or V1.04.
5. Go to Scatter-Loading and browse for MT6752_Android_scatter.txt
6. All boxes must be unchecked, except recovery
7. Select Download only mode or Firmware Upgrade mode.
8. Click on Download.
9. With tablet powered off connect USB cable(do not use USB 3.0 port, only USB 2.0 ports are compatible) and you'll see progress bar working at the bottom of SP Flash Tool very fast ....at 100% you'll see a green check box showing Success.
10.Turn off SP flash Tool and disconnect USB cable from your PC.

Go to TWRP recovery from tablet Off state pressing/holding Power for about a second then press and hold vol+ until a menu displays at the bottom left.
Scroll through the menu options with vol+ and select with vol-.
You may need to know that OTA update will not work anymore with TWRP installed...only stock recovery will give you succesfully updates OTA.
To flash back original recovery.img do the steps described above (with original recovery.img from FW's V1.02/1.04) and OTA will work like before.
This TWRP recovery is the only way to backup/restore all partitions from T9 (including NVRAM) and to root with SuperSu avoiding chinese root programs.

Regards, Edy.

Sorry, Edius. I get surprised when things work out for me. I've had long run of bad luck.

1.07 OTA patch released

Can anyone post the changelog for the 1.07 OTA patch, love to know whether its worth the update at the moment seeing as my 1.06 rooted build is pretty good.

Its the ability to change the partition of the internal storage that is the most important for me right now.

THX Edius. Just to be sure at point 2 - rename means just put name of folders to google translate?

[Edius]

No, just rename extracted folders as you want..ex:Tool/ Drivers/ ROM
