How to flash Chinese tablets? Firmware for Chinese Tablet
Deciding to buy a tablet computer,people are faced with an incredible abundance of these devices from both well-known manufacturers and from little-known firms. And often the situation when you have to choose not by hardware characteristics, but by the name of the company and the cost, because only this distinguishes the model.
Why change the software?
Tablet owners from eminent manufacturersProblems with gadgets work, as a rule, almost does not happen. Everything functions exactly as intended. However, unfortunately, with inexpensive Chinese models, this is not always the case. Very often there is a situation when the user of such a tablet after a while notices that in any browser there are spontaneous redirects (redirects) to unwanted resources, although anti-virus programs do not detect anything.
Replacement of operating system files may also be necessary in case of incorrect operation of any hardware and software components. In fact, the reasons can be very different.
Selection of firmware
In order to replace the managersprograms, you should carefully read the existing information on the Web. Usually, owners create multi-page branches of specialized forums for each device, where problems and their solutions are discussed. It is there, in particular, you can find instructions on how to flaunt Chinese tablets, as well as the firmware itself. We recommend that you read everything carefully.
The firmware is a set of files thatare written to the internal drive of the gadget and form the operating system. Inside it, among other things, there are drivers that control the hardware components. In case of an incorrect selection and the loading process, the gadget may stop turning on, becoming a so-called "brick". Firmware for Chinese tablets are selected not only by name, but also by revision. Let us give an example. Take the model 3450DUO. There are modifications B and W, which differ in the display driver. Uploading the 3450DUO / B operating system for W, the user will get a dark screen. Next we will consider solutions on MTK processors.
Program for stitching
In order to "sew" the operating system in the tablet, you need, besides the firmware itself, to download the Flash Tool. Often the verified version comes with stitched files.
How to flash Chinese tablets. Preparation
Before proceeding with the upgrade procedure,you need to make sure that the battery of the gadget is fully charged. Also need a computer running Windows (fewer questions arise), a free USB port and the appropriate cable. It is recommended that you use laptops or a PC with a backup power system, as interrupting the process of flashing can lead to a disruption of the internal memory structure.
Often the question of how to stitch the Chinesetablets, is given because there is an unobvious error in the preparation phase. So, you need to create a folder in the root directory of drive "C", and its name should not contain Russian letters, only English words are allowed. It is important. There are also no gaps.
It should unpack the firmware files (boot.img, system.img). The tablet should be turned off and not connected to the computer.
Filling the system
The next step is to start the programflash_tool.exe. In the Download Agent window, you need to specify MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin from the folder of the brewer application. In the window below, you need to select a markup file - the so-called scatter. This is the key point. Everyone who is interested in how to flash Chinese tablets should have at least a general idea about this. Depending on the modification of the processor, the mentioned file may have different names. So, for modern mass models it is called MT6582_Android_scatter.txt. You can not substitute this file from other devices, even with the same processor. With rare exceptions. Otherwise, it is necessary to study not only how to flash Chinese tablets, but also how to restore them from the state of "brick".
If everything is done correctly, then in the main windowa list of detected files appears (Preloader, MBR ...). Here, a little higher, you can choose the sewing mode. This can be Firmware Upgrade, Download Only or Format +. The least destructive is the second. Most often it should be used. Regardless of the correctness of the preparation, we recommend that you always uncheck Preloader.
When this is all done, you need to press the buttonDownload. The program will go into standby mode. It is required to attach the tablet to the computer and watch the download process. If everything went well, then the program window can be closed, disconnect the tablet from the computer and turn it on. After the software is poured, the initial download takes a long time, up to several minutes.
Important points
Studying how to flash a Chinese tablet Samsung or any other, it should be remembered that:
- When pouring a program from a laptop running on battery, a situation is possible in which the USB ports are turned off due to a decrease in the battery charge below the critical level.
- Sometimes the UBOOT block is not stitched, and the tablet does not start. The problem lies in the fact that the path to uboot.img is registered in the scatter-file, and lk.bin is present in the list, which it is, but renamed.
- Some models of tablet computers andsmartphones refuse to stitch because of the connection to the computer. In this case, immediately after attaching to the USB port, you need to press and hold the Power button together with the volume rocker up.
- To avoid crashes, it is recommended not to connect the gadget to the ports on the front panel of the PC's system unit.
Forgery
Unfortunately, not all mobile devices withmark "Made in China" can boast of high quality and stable performance. Very often gadget owners ask how to flash a Chinese tablet n8000. Well, if someone had this copy of the Samsung model, then you can only sympathize. Of course, about any 64 GB of internal memory and 2 GB of RAM are not talking. This fake at best has "on board" a modest 512 MB of cells for the work of programs and 1.5 GB on the built-in drive. And, which is very sad, often ceases to work after a few months, even with careful use.
Yet there is a solution! Below, we'll show you how to flash a Samsung Galaxy n8000 tablet. The method, of course, is not a panacea, since inside the brand building there can be absolutely any "stuffing". Therefore, what works in one case, in the other is completely useless.
Definition of the hardware configuration
The tablet needs to be opened neatly. On the motherboard there is always a designation, for example Mapan MX913 DC. It must be found and remembered (written down). You should also determine the type of touchscreen controller, sound chip and processor. Under these components you need to start looking for the firmware. For example, the touchscreen can be a GSL3680, the wireless module is a RTL8188ETV from Realtek, and the processor is a common Allwinner A13.
Note that all of the above for MTK in this case will not work. Let's figure out how to flash the Chinese "Samsung" (tablet).
Revitalize the famous forgery
For work you will need to download the programPhoenuxusbpro. It is both with the Chinese, and with the English interface. First, in the application menu, you need to select the desired image - firmware and open it with the Open command. The tablet is disconnected from the computer. When you press the Start button, the icon color turns green. On the tablet, hold down Volume +, hold it, attach it to the USB port, press the Power button. The process of "filling" will begin. When the success message appears, the cable can be disconnected. That's all - you can check the tablet.
