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

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.

From what little information I have been able to find
on the web, the
Build number:
RK31_ANDROID4.1.1-SDK-v1.00.00
rk30sdk-eng4.1.1 JR003H 20130319 release-keys
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
