Ripped open my still unidentified Pad. Looks like a Gome (?)

[martyumengan]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here so please bear with me.

Long story short: I bought an unidentified Pad from an online seller, he claims that this thing was an Apad. Turns out it wasn't. Reading PDF Files was taking forever. (Which was one of the main reasons I bought this thingy)

Please help me identify this Pad.

The package includes:

1 gray Pad
1 9V charger
1 gray adaptor with 2 USB ports and a LAN port
1 nondescript manual (without any model/brand description)
1 small stylus

SPECS:

(Using Quick System Info)

Internal Storage:
618 mb total

System Cache:
100 mb total

Memory:
256mb

Processor
ARM926EJ-S rev5 (v5l) 174.48MHz

Sensor
WM8505 3-axis accelerometer

Model Name
generic

Firmware Version
1.6

Kernel Version
2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty

Build Number
WMT2.1_88

Pics:

So here are my questions:

-What ROMs can I use to flash this thing? (I need all of its functionalities, most especially Wi-Fi and 3G)

-Is there any way I can speed up my PDF reader? (I'm using repligo. Any other faster PDF reader suggestions would be appreciated)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!

Are you sure the build is WMT2.1_88 and not 2.0.1_88, and what number is on the mainboard? something like wms8088e or wms8088b ??

Updates:

So I was feeling lucky a few hours ago and decided to flash my pad. (I really wanted to have an official Android Market Installed.) Now after downloading a couple of ROMs and after a couple of flashes, my pad decides to just hang on boot, regardless of the ROM version installed.

Curiosity bricked my pad? Hopefully there'd be a solution. HELP!

Hi flex,

Oh that. Yes, it's WMS8060B4, same with the link you posted.

 

[martyumengan]

So any suggestions what ROM should I use? I've left it ON now, I'll just see if I can get it working again.

 

[mikethebike]

My pad will run your original software version and this rooted rom Uploaded 2.0.1_88 Rooted Market
so I am pretty sure this should work for you.

Thanks so much, Mike! I'll post updates as soon as I'm done.

Still no good, the flytouch still hangs on boot.

I also tried draining the battery first before reflashing.

I'll try reflashing on another SD Card. Might work. Hopefully.

 

[martyumengan]

Still nothing. I'm stuck at the twirling android image.

I've tried connecting my flytouch to my laptop using an Iphone cable, but my laptop can't detect the flytouch.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

 

[martyumengan]

*BUMP* Still stuck at start up. Help!

Confirm that build is wmt2_1.88. you have an identical pad to mine. the JTAG port is visible on the CPU module.

Hello,

I'd like to know if you had any progress with JTAG. I have a J-Link Segger 20-pin cable (USB), and same problem and same tablet like yours, my doubt is where to soldier rTRef and Ground, cause J-Link cant recognize CPU or SWD. I soldered them to eeeprom (-) leg and +3.3v VPP leg without any resistors.

Thank your help, sorry my bad english.
