How to: Repair Chinese Apad - Android Tablet

Problem: Chinese Android tablet hangs on boot. Android logo appears and then freezes. It shuts down after few seconds.

Reason: The Android installation is corrupted.

Solution: Reflash / install a new android firmware / OS.

Applies to: Flytouch Android Tablet, Epad, Apad, Iped

The one I repaired has the following specifications:
  • VIA chipset 8505 / 300 mhz
  • 256 mb memory
  • 2 GB storage
  • with camera
  • vibrates at startup (unique for flytouch model)
Pics:



What you need:
At least 128 mb microSD card

Step-by-step Guide:
1. Download this file if you have the 256 mb version: http://www.filefront.com/17277089/EPAD256.1.988.3k.7z


2. Extract the script folder to your memory card. If your memory card is drive e, it should look like these: e:\script\

3. While the tablet is off, insert the card to the card reader /slot at the bottom of your tablet.

4. Turn it on and wait for instructions. It will say when to remove the memory card.

5. The unit will turn off. Turn it on again. That's it. You should see the Android logo by now and wait for it to boot.

If the unit won't turn on after flashing, it means that you used the wrong firmware. Download other firmware for your Android Tablet.

Abeng said…
Hi all, I'm attempting the process with the 256 MB version. I started the tablet with the SD card containing the script folder and for quite some time all I see is the Android logo and the OS version in the bottom right: Android2.2.

How long should the process take? Is what I'm seeing normal?

Unknown said…
hi .. a million thanks..

My LY 706 apad (flytouch 1.9.88) did not seem to work and kept hanging at the rudroid screen.

I took tips from this post and although the firmware given here did not work completely for me ( it hung again after boot up at the tutorial screen) ...
I used probably an older firmware.. ly706 v1.7.44 and it worked..

I would have loved an upgrade though.. but nevertheles.. now I can atleast do something with it!

wow- I'm not alone. My tablet will boot and run some software, but I get a 'force close' message on things like the calendar and GPS and contacts.
I don't have a slot in my computer for the tiny card - can it be fixed by downloading something onto a USB stick???
any advice would be appreciated.

Kindly some one help me that how can i upgrade my Chinese made tablet Pc from android 1.6 to 2.1. I already tried an upgrade but it still says android version 1.6. Would anyone be kind enough to guide me how can i install a fresh copy of android 2.2 on my Tablet.
Unknown said…
I have the exact same model as that shown in the pictures. The Android robot is frozen upon start-up. I've followed the directions as well as appreciated Grascia's comments. Nothing happens. It is as if the pad will not read the card. I've reset the pad (paper clip into small hole near center on long side between the microphone and the Volume button), and tried again. No avail. I would appreciate suggestions.

I have a "China ePad - MID" device.
QUALCOMM MSM7227-1 Tablet PC with Mobile Phone function
Android 2.2 OS
512MB RAM/512ROM +4GB Memory
7 inch capacitive multi-touch screen
Built in 3G module and WiFi and bluetooth
Built in GPS navigation
Built in 2.0MP/0.3 CMOS dual cameras
Support phone call and flash10.1 playing
The specs:
Model Number: msm7227_ffa
Android Version 2.2.2
Kernal Version 2.632.9-perf
Build number: I700_P6T06_AC80_FT_H44_R_0_01_111010

SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS POSTS. HANG UP ON RE-BOOT. ANDROID ROBOT FOLLOWED BY "PC - TABLET' SCREEN...THEN NOTHING.
I FOUND A SOLUTUION THAT WORKED FOR ME:

1. PRESS THE RESET BUTTON WITH A PAPER CLIP OR PEN WHILE HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON DOWN.
2. IMMEDIATELY PRESS AND HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON
3. AS SOON AS THE ANDROID ROBOT COMES ON RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MIGHT WORK WITHOUT THE RESET BUTTON, JUST PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON AND THE VOLUME DOWN (-))
4. THE ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e> SCREEN COMES ON WITH 5 OPTIONS
CHOOSE wipe data/factory reset (option 4) -{SCROLL WITH VOLUME BUTTONS & USE THE MENU BUTTON AS ENTER}
THIS SHOULD RESTORE YOUR E-PAD TO FACTORY SETTINGS...
HOPE THIS WORKS IN YOUR CASE AS IT DID IN MINE...

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AS YOU WILL WIPE OUT ALL YOUR APPS, DATA, ETC. THAT YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED, BUT I GUESS IT'S BETTER THEN HAVING A BRICK...OF COURSE DO SOME BACKUPS TO SD AND RESTORE

doesn't work... :( my tablet only start up normally...no system recovery or whatever...then hangs up in the android logo... :(

Hi Bern
Keep pressing the power button and the volume down button while you turn on the device.
Release the power button when the android button comes on.
The ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e> SCREEN WITH 5 OPTIONS should come on.
Hope this helps.

Guys...pls help me out!!

I bought a Plano Dezibel (Design & Tech From Spain) tablet PC recently. When i tried to access android market its says

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server, This could be temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services."

These are the things that ive done :
1. Searched for the company's web for solution - They are too busy promoting new stuff, without offering solutions to troubleshoots
2. Tried to restore factory setting - it shut down automatically and when I turned it on, nothing seems to be changed...(can't restore factory setting)
3. Tried to press the power & volume down button when switching on, nothing happened - it started like usual..
4. Searched for "How to reinstall android", it guided me to how to install android SDK, Eclipse, ADT and bla3....(it confused me even more)
5. Went to 4th floor of my office with tears & plan to drop the stupid pad from there...just can't do it (thinking of the cash i've spent)....

Guys...pls help :(

problems with ANDROID 1.6 TABLET 7" WMT2.1.2_105 (MID or Apad)

- Freezes after the "Loading" message during the boot.
- The android system loading and after few seconds the display turn off and don't work nothing.
- Touchscreen does not responding/does not working.
- When upgrade the system of your Android Tablet see message:
"Udisk not found (/dev/sda)
Failed Upgrading filesystem. Exit!"
- Or you just want to reset your Android Tablet

I have the same problems with my Android Tablet and finally after several attempts
find this patch:

https://rapidshare.com/files/3675403255/2.0188_99.rar

So, when you download it you must unzip it
(
you can unzip it with WinZip which you can here download at free trial mode:
http://www.winzip.com/win/en/downwz.htm
)

When you unzip it you will see folder with name "2.0188".
Open this folder and you will see folder with name "script",
copy the folder "script" in your micro SD/TF memory card which you will put in your Android Tablet
(ATTENTION: Memory card must be TOTALLY empty!).

1.Connect your Android Tablet with charger.
2.Make sure the tablet is off!
3.Put memory card in your Android Tablet.
4.Turn on the tablet.
5.Now it will update do not interrupt this it can take 5 min.
6.Wait until the tablet says remove memory card.
7.When you remove the memory card the device will OFF.
8.Activate your device and you will be ready to use it again!
(ATTENTION: If you want to use the same memory card in your device you must delete the folder with name "script" from it -
Copy the folder "script" in your PC if you want again reset your Android Tablet).

Hi, I have a Apad similar to the one shown in your post. Android OS 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32, Build Number V1.5.2. I tried the method you suggested and even tried the one suggested by 'Eantd'(https://rapidshare.com/files/3675403255/2.0188_99.rar). I have the 256MB version. I am using a 2gb microsd card to try and repair it. I put the microsd card in the Apad and then turned on the power button. I waited for almost half an hour but all i can see is the android logo with the Android OS, Kernel and Build Number details. Am I making a mistake somewhere? Is the 2 gb microsd card incompatible or soemthing? How do i know that my Apad is reading the card? Please respond as soon (runitsaria@gmail.com)
Runit Saria said…
Somebody please respond. I am losing hope. I just read on the Apad box that it is compatible for upto 32GB micro sd card.

I have a 7" Mid tablet but no power supply or manual. I just got a 9vDC 2Amp power supply that I believe will work with the tablet but am unsure of the polarity on the plug. Is the inside of the plug (+) or (-)? Is 9vDC 2amps the correct size power supply adapter?
Where can I get a manual?
