[ROM] Gome Flytouch Firmware Releases (VIA8505 7" Tablet)

[mamavazquez]

I am getting ready to flash mine with the above firmware but I am concerned that some said that the menu and volume buttons do not work after that. Can anyone tell me if they used this firmware successfully?

Hey Tipstr,
I'm new and have one simple question. If one has a tablet exactly like the first picture, and a dongle with ethernet/2x USB, what model does one have? 256MB and running the same kernel as stated above.
Thanks,

help me. thank​

 

[danwguy]

I'm getting the maybe the kernel don't support this NAND flash error too. I know that mine is the right Apad, it's eP07, has the WMT2.1.2_105 in the lower right hand side when booting. I am trying to get the newest one to work but it keeps giving me that message. Any advice? I have the original system dump from the device if that helps at all.

i think your build in 2gb nand flash is already corrupted or damage you have to replace it then flash the rom again

Hi all, can someone please help me.
I have a 7" tablet that says ePad, on the box it says iRobot.
In the bottom right hand corner when it boots up it says WMT2.1.2_105.
It has the following:
CPU. ARM 9 platform, VIA WM8505, 533MHz
OS. Google android 2.1
Memory. 256 DDR2
Storage device. 2GB Flash HDD(standard; optional up to 32GB)
LCD Screen. 7" Touch screen, 800 x 480 pixels
LAN/WFI. 10/100 Ethernet Access, 802.11b/g
Camera. 1.3 mega pixels
Keyboard. Soft keyboard
Touch operation. Full size touch operation, sliding menus, icons
USB Port. 2 x USB Port(via the external USB Port)
Card Port. SD Card (512MB-8GB

In about device:
Memory size 526MB
Model Number. Generic
Firmware Version. 1.6 ( the supplier says it has been updated to 2.1. They say 1.6 is embedded into the chip)
Kernel Version. 2.6.29.00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty
Build Number WMT2.1.2_105
Green led when on and a red led when charging.
Doesn't vibrate on start up.

What I would like to know is whether I can use a Custom Rom? and which one?
The device is very sluggish.
It has no android market, no Google account set up, no Gmail, no Google maps. If I want to install apps I have try and find them on the net with my PC, download them and then transfer them to the external SD card, very annoying.
And it's just developed a horrible buzzing noise when in use but when it goes into sleep mode the buzzing stops. The buzzing isn't coming from the speakers so turning the volume off doesn't help. The supplier says it's normal to get a buzzing noise from tablets and laptops (never heard of this before) because of the built in mic

I have asked the supplier to arrange for it to be retuned and for a refund, guess what, they aren't answering that one. So if they wont agree then it looks as if I may have to keep it and use a custom rom if there is one for this device. Sorry if this sounds like a rant, I'm just very frustrated. Going round in circles springs to mind.


Thanks for any help.

OK, so now it's my turn, I have a 8505 Flytouch 7" that has the name MID on the box. I've been trying to months to get it going again. This is the second one that I've bricked. On this one I used 1.9.88, which worked on the identical one that I bricked with a different ROM. Now, no matter what I put on it I only get the little Android dude at boot up then it stays there. When I try and change the ROM it goes through the entire flash process and tells me to remove the SD card, but then when it tries to reboot it just sticks with the little android dude.

Can you recommend anything for me to do?

Sorry and Thanks,

DiverDuane
