Sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with the phone/3G. Indoor does not hook signal, while outdoors the signal is very strong. With other tablet the signal indoor is good. I think it's a problem with the antenna 3G tablet. What do you think? Can anyone tell me where is this antenna and if you can change it?

I don't think is a good ideea to replace antenna. As a last resort you may try to check wire soldering.

Thanks for the reply.
I have a question: The black wire soldered to the antenna, comes from the sim card?

Thank you, Edius, for all your instructions and links. I was able to successfully flash TWRP and root with SuperSU. I am a total noob - this is the first time I've tried this on any device. I ran into some problems along the way, since I didn't know what I was doing, so what should have taken a few minutes took me a couple hours trying to look for solutions. I'll be starting a new discussion for noobs, called Cube T9 for Noobs, using the info you posted here, with some additional detail for those, like me who don't know much. Perhaps you can answer basic questions on that thread, so that we can keep this one shorter, and easier to find the info that we need.

Hello, I hope you don't managed to brick your tablet.
That BROM error is related to some chinese characters on extracted folder names from original FW 1.07 archive.
Extract archive onto your desktop and look after/rename folder with ROM using latin characters.
It was really wrong to use "format all_download"...bad news is you just have a T9 tablet without IMEI..useless for phone calls/3G_4G data. Good news is you can restore your IMEI (I suppose first thing you have done after you received your new T9 was to input your Google account details before that disaster) from your Google Dashboard https://accounts.google.com/ServiceL...com/dashboard/
With tablet in off condition try to flash FW 1.07:
- with default scatter file, all boxes checked in Flash Tool, use this time Format all_Download(worse was done already) and use original USB cable, press Download and connect tablet to PC ...if you still don't see avtivity at the bottom of Flash Tool, disconnect tablet feom USB and press power+volume down for ~ 10 seconds and reconnect to PC (Flash tool must be prepared before with Download button already pressed)
I hope you will revive your T9 using what I said above...for moment I'm at work and wrote all from phone...real painfull.
Tomorrow I'll try to be more accurate.

L.E For IMEI restore look here...all required steps are described properly http://freaktab.com/forum/mtk-based-...106#post423106
You have done an complete backup using TWRP?

[Brunek]

I will write about progress in reactivate. In touch. Many thanks.

[Brunek]

YUPI! Problem solved. Now i have FW 1.07 on my tablet :-) Thank you very very much Edius. Now only will try to restore my IMEI (i have number of this).
I thnik it will be usefull for future.

Many thanks.

[Edit] Now i have one notive in wifi (NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10". Before i restored IMEI. Can I good solved this problem? What can i do to reactivated NVRAM file/

[Edius]

Ok.If you already managed to restore IMEI, look here for solution.

I checked the welds of the antenna cable (also on the mainboard) and are ok.
The black plastic where the antenna is welded inside is empty. It must be so?
In the sticky side (where there are two welds) is there any circuit that acts as antenna?
What else could you do to improve the signal reception 3G?

Thanks to hocuspocus69 for posting this link on the main Cube T9 thread. This is supposed to be a way to increase memory partition on the T9. Anyone willing to try this and post instructions in English? http://www.androidiani.com/forum/tut...ml#post6709875

Is my post on Androidiani! I apologize for my bad English.
This is the procedure to expand the /data partition on T9:

Make aTWRP backup of your T9 (microSD or OTG - not internal SD)
Power off the T9
In SPFT upload Stock Rom with Stock Recovery (The stock recovery is very important. The TWRP not work to do that)
Download the new scatter file, copy the selected scatter file in the folder of stock rom, Open SPFT use the selected scatter and upload in "Firmware Upgrade"
After disconnect the tablet and start it in recovery mode
Make a Wipe/Factory reset (It is very very important to do this)
Restart the T9 and enjoy!

Stock recovery 1.08 full (without chinese apps)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Lfglunx7nsalJHcU5pVWsxNkk/view?usp=sharing

From now on when you use the SPFT will need to do using the new scatter you used now.

Now download the TWRP recovery with spft and new scatter in "Download only"
After disconnect the tablet and start it in recovery mode
Restore the backup made at the beginning of the procedure and restart,
that's all

New scatter files (4,6,8 Gb) for data enlargement
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0L...ew?usp=sharing

New scatter files wth \System 1,5Gb, \Cache 512Mb, \Data 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 Gb

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Lfglunx7nsZk9ydk52cmluZlU/view?usp=sharing

This is the new TWRP 2.8.4.0 whit ttf correction & new splash screen

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Lfglunx7nsSDBwMGdxMXZtUXM/view?usp=sharing

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Repartitioning prevents the OTA update.

Requirements for ota update:
1 - Stock rom
2 - Stock recovery
3 - Stock size of all partitions



thanks to hocuspocus69

devilz-wolit, that's great.
I have two questions for you:
1. I suppose you have used V.1.07 with these custom scatter files...OTA update worked right to reach 1.08 FW?
I'm asking because as far as I can remember OTA patches stock recovery too and with TWRP already flashed will lead to failure message.
2.,What is TTE use and TTF correction of TWRP? I think this TTF refers to missing characters error from hanuma TWRP?
Thank's for your kind reply.

Yes. I used version 1.07 stock. But if you're going to restore the backup TWRP initially saved, you do not need to install the 1.08 update.

[USER="68951"]2.,What is TTE use and TTF correction of TWRP? I think this TTF refers to missing characters error from hanuma TWRP?
Thank's for your kind reply.

Yes. Hanuma forgot to insert two ttf fonts. Only one is present.
RobotoCondensed-Regular : present
RobotoMedium : not present
