Help, i just bricked my Allwinner a13 tablet. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, xda-developers community! This is my first post here, and and I come to ask for help.
Yesterday, I ****ed out my tablet, I did it trying to install ClockworkMod Recovery from this thread: Clic here. Ok, I entered to my tablet's stock recovery, installed update from zip, selected cwm6028-a13-10part-v2.zip, rebooted my tablet, and here comes the problem. CWM stuck in a bootloop, I can't boot to Android, just CWM, and CWM can't mount /cache, /system, /data, etc... just the /sdcard. I have tried reinstalling the ROM with Livesuit, and Livesuit throws me a error: Upgrade fails : 0x162[random chars here], no matter what rom try putting on, always throws me that error. Ok, next solution: Change the recovery.img via fastbook, ha! my tablet can't enter to fastboot mode. Wipe data/cache: I can't, because /cache is not mounted. Factory reset: same. After hours of research, I figured my tablet partitions were screwed, why? Here is the answer:
Code:
~ # cd /dev/block
cd /dev/block
/dev/block # ls
ls
loop0 loop2 loop4 loop6 mmcblk0 nandf ram0
loop1 loop3 loop5 loop7 mmcblk0p1 platform ram1
/dev/block #
There must have more partitions, like nanda, nandb, nandc, nandd, nande, nandf, nandg, nandh, nandi and nandj. I tried every solution, but all fails. Here's some info from the tablet connected to adb (in Recovery mode):
Code:
~ # cat /proc/partitions
cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

Code:
~ # mount /system

Btw, my bro has another tablet like this, but fully functional, no CWM, only rooted.
PDT: When installing the CWM, the tablet was still with the stock ROM.
PDT2: I can only access the terminal via ADB.
PDT3: Sorry for my bad English, my native lang is Spanish.
Thanks for all the help.

exact same problem for me too. Please help. Here is my thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45728817#post45728817

me too!
Sounds exactly like what I did!
Except that I have nandf, but as a file not a partition.
I have tried to recreate the partitions with fdisk, but it fails to write the partition table at the end. next reboot i get the same thing. Surely it must be possible to repartition the device, but this is taking me beyond the limits of my linux knowledge.
So annoying because I have each of the partitions backed up on my PC as an image file.

Have the exact same problem.
Anyone found a solution ?

Live suit cant detect my a13....says that NO DEVICE NEEDS UPGRADE
The only way that i can think of to solve this problem is to have someone with an ALLWINNER A13 Tablet which is in stock rom and nothing has been changed could make a back up of his or her tab and upload it here for us to recover in our restore option in the cwm recovery boot loop....

same problem have you found solution??

Korean YP-GB70? Q&A Rom & Kernal

I am looking around this thread has anyone seen anything on YP-GB70 or is this the same as YP-G70? It is from Korea. I guess steve's kernal is NOT compatible with this device. What Kernal / ROM is? Any suggestions
Korean YP GB70 root and non root kernels (firmware KPH)
Hello,
you can find root and non root kernels for Korean Samsung Galaxy Player YP GB70. It is flashable only over the last KPH firmware (as of March 2012). As I cannot yet post links to outside pages (new user) try to decode the URL from this:
HTTP doubledot slash slash bvlgarian dot tistory dot com slash 138
You can flash the kernels with Odin.
That's great help you can give us.
We are many from outside to buy this YP-GB70 from korea and we need support to improve our device or rearrange it.
Our "little" problem is to find the right connexion or links to the people having knowledge and tools available.
I tried the link you provide us, if right, have a look of what i got.
What item is it to open?
Anyway don't be shy with your english it is better than mine. (french I am)
Regards
I got it after several Trials (bulgarian versus bvlugarian!)
Now I have to dig in the subject. * we keep in touch.
Thanks again,
Hey
Hi, Im a Korean Galaxy Player user.(YP-GB70.)
This Root Knernel is not rooting kernel. Because, This Kernel flashed Odin, device has bricked. But, Korean Galaxy Player's Rooting Rom is appear.
(In fact, This is my custum Rom.)
I tested the "rooted kernel" it leads my device alive from KPH brick gotten after upgrade (I felt Happy). Only problem is it doesn't reconize any internal mémory as well as external SD. So anybody got that?
Anyway, send us link for any other rooting solution. you are welcome.
Korean YP GB70 root and non root kernels (firmware KPL)
Hi folks,
here are root and non root kernels for Korean Samsung Galaxy Player YP GB70. It is flashable only over the last KPL firmware (as of April 2012):
http://bvlgarian.tistory.com/320
Once you flash root kernel via ODIN and set up SUDO, you can flash back to nonroot kernel (apparently the features of root kernel are not very well implemented/maintained anymore). Even if you flash back to nonroot kernel, the device would remain rooted.
---
If you want to flash complete customized ROM for Korean GB70:
http://greenview.tistory.com/31
The *.egg archives can be decompressed by AllZip.
---
And before you start, you can temporarily flash RJ's Custom Kernel r13 for YP-GB70. This kernel has support for ClockworkMod, so you can backup your original KPL ROM to sdcard. After flashing with ODIN you can call ClockworkdMod via combination "HOME button" + "POWER button" + "Vol. Up".
The kernel is here:
http://greenview.tistory.com/attachment/[email protected]
Once you backup your ROM, you should go back to stock kernel, RJ's kernel probably wouldn't boot, it is usable only for backup/restore.
---
Note: if you don't know what you are doing, ie. if you aren't comfortable with fdisk, adb etc., you should expect some major setbacks ;-).
Many thanks for your support.
I still have the following problem to understand and to solve in order to have my device fully working.
Detail:
-When using no rooted kernel it stay in loop at Galaxy player logo for a while....
-When using rooted kernel it starts 100% but I can't access any Sd memory or USB connexion like the internal memory is not adressed.
Who knows about this issue?
Any help is appreciated.

It looks like one or more of your partitions are damaged. Probably by setting a wrong option in ODIN. I've did that mistake and here's how to fix it with a good chance of not losing your data:
* Install root kernel via ODIN
* Start your device normally (do not put your device in DOWNLOAD mode), it's OK if it hangs.
* On your PC install Android SDK + platform tools and make sure your adb is working.
* "adb shell" to your device
* "sudo su" or "su"
* "mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp"
* "exit"
* "exit"
* Get busybox binary: http://www.4shared.com/file/DffR-A0B/busybox.html
* Untar /unzip the binary
* Push the binary to your device: "adb push busybox /tmp/busybox".
Then get fdisk working:
* "adb shell" to your device
* "sudo su" or "su"
* "cd /tmp"
* "chmod 775 busybox"
* "ln -s busybox fdisk"
* "./fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0"
* List your partitions by pressing "p".
Here's the listing of CORRECT partition sizes (for 16GB model!):
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 15.9 GB, 15925772288 bytes
1 heads, 16 sectors/track, 1944064 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 5 1944064 15552480 5 Extended
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 9 40 256 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 45 76 256 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 81 240 1280 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 245 404 1280 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 409 1048 5120 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 1053 2332 10240 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 2337 3296 7680 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 3301 4260 7680 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 4265 38824 276480 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 38829 55980 137216 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 55985 64176 65536 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 64181 313396 1993728 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 313401 1937720 12994560 83 Linux
If some of them are mismatched (p14 and p15 probably), delete them and create again in fdisk. You don't have to format them, just setup correct type (T 83). Finally write (w) and quit fdisk.
* "sync; sync; sync"
* "reboot"
If the device still hangs:
* Put your device in SYSTEM RECOVERY mode: ("Pwr button" + "Vol up" + "Home button")
* Choose "wipe cache partition"
* Choose "reboot system now"
If the device still hangs:
* Put your device in SYSTEM RECOVERY mode: ("Pwr button" + "Vol up" + "Home button")
* Choose "wipe data/factory reset"
* Choose "reboot system now"
If the device still hangs, then try your service or shop.

You did a good job! Your model is 32GB by the way, so the size of your partition p17 would be different from my model. Your partition p14 is corrupted and p15-17 are missing. You should delete p14 and create p14-17 as type 83 (Linux). You can make the same sizes, as my example, except for the p17, which you can simply create from block 313401 until the end of the disk . Then try the rest of my instructions.
If the formatting in SYSTEM RECOVERY mode would not help you, you can create tool "mke2fs" the same way you created "fdisk" and you can format the partitions via command:
"./mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p14"
That's for partition p14, you should also do that for the rest (p15-17) and then try to format again in SYSTEM RECOVERY.
That should help.
Before correcting the wrong blocks by hand, I innocently accepted the light offer to correct block 14 by typing "w" that's may be not good. but i cann't retur to read dev/block/mmblck0 to see the resulting. What's wrong?
Sorry if bothering for you but that's common problem with beginners!
fdisk
Try: "./fdisk dev/block/mmblck0". What happens?

Great success!
My device restarted after KPL Fw flashing (odin). I have not lost any personal data (photo and music), that's strange after some 20 different flash process and wipes.
Your are top expert guy!
Many THANKS for your help.
I was seeking for solution from end january when I Missrooted my device!
I have in meantime learn so much about Android and also improved my english somehow.
In case I can give you back a service, please ask.
I am sure your problem solving would help many other infortunate guys, why not to make this "sticky".
I can add what is good not to be done to avoid problem then!
Best Regards
Very good! Congratulations Your partitions are correct now. I am sorry you had to wait so long.
trying to fellow the above tutorial with no lcuk , i'm stuck in adb shell error device not found, any clue ?
Hi
In post N°8 You have everything you "must" do.
Rooted kernel is RJ's 14 kernel and nothing else for our device.
You go recovery and adb will connect.
then "shell" et voila.
Forget playing with the PIT file; it si no reason it is wrong at this step, avoid adding a difficulty, please.
Keep informed as you want
now after flashing a Korean kernel the device does boot up normally and everything seems to be fine apart from memory, internal memory and staff is all showing unavailable ?!?! strange situation ?!?! does anybody have an idea about how to fix that ?
Fine,
You mind you are just at a "wipe" step to be done.
Normally full wipe is enough to get the device restarted from home.
OK do it and give me the result reported at the screen after this step.

Cannot connect to PC, internal storage unavailable, SD card damaged

Device: Arnova Gbook (ereader)
OS: Android 4.0.3
Kernel version: Linux 3.0.8
I was using my tablet at an airport and everything was fine before I shutoff my phone for the flight to take off. I turned it back on once the plane reached cruising altitude. I got an indicator that my SD card was damaged, which makes no absolutely no sense. also, my apps disappeared...
Problems are:
-When I connect to PC, tapping "Turn on USB storage" nothing happens, only the lile circle indicates that it is doing something but it does nothing...
-Settings>Storage: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
next to the clock it says "Damaged SD card. SD card damaged, you may have to reformat it." There is not SD card in the slot, but it still says this.
-Cannot push an SD card into the slot: It doesnt stay there even if i push it to the maximum inside. No "click sound" either.
-Cant do anything only using the internet, internal storage is not reachable in any way thus i cant install newer rom too.
Did a factory reset (Settings>factory reset) but couldnt help, still the same... I beg you guyz for your help!
Anyone?

So it looks like I'm having the same problem with the same gear. I tried several cures to no avail.
But First the Tech Specs of my Arnova GBook:
Manufactor: VIMICRO
Model: ANGB
CPU: ARMv 7 rev 2 (v7l)
Memory: RAM 337, ROM 0.91, SDCard 0 MB (at the Moment more to that later)
Android: 4.0.3
BuildID: generic_vortex-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K 1.0 test-keys
Linux Version: 3.0.8-vimicro([email protected]) (gcc Version 4.4.3)
I copied some files to the mounted exSDCard (4gb noname) when my tablet suddenly died and the only way to reanimate it was by factory resetting it.
The Problem istself seems to relate to the inability to mount a Nonformated SDCard that i can not format because it is not proberly mounted.
I have no clue how to root the tablet. I tried a set of instruction from a french website, but since i don't speak french i'm not sure if the google translator gave me the right directions.
I tried to mount it the SDCard via terminal. Format it connecting the gbook to an ubuntu box and a lot of system tools available via googles play store.
USB connection shows the drives but I'm not abel to mount or list the contents of it. In general the System is booting up and i am able to install apps from Google Play. Since i can't mount any external devices i am not abel to transfer files via other means because the gbook wants to copy them to the interna SDCard (wich is not available ).
I am looking for any possible solution. If there is an alternate Frimware i will try it.
Thanks in advance for any offered Help!

Still trying...
Any solution i found using Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo seems to require Root Access. Has somebody successfully rooted an Arnova GBook?
Or is there really no possibel solution for a dummy user to fix this problem. It seems to boil down that i cannot mount device mmcblk0 to sdcard because "access denied".
Did anybody face a similar problem and fixed it without root?
Tried several SDCard tools to no avail...
ES File Explorer is showing me that everthing i need is there but still, every try to mount the internal storage is leading to permission denied. I'm stating to love Android
Well if there is no root, is it possible to write a shell script to revive the internal SDCard and run that with elevated rights?
ES File manager is showing the directory entry with 0 MB. Since i am a novice in Android Systems i am just not sure if that means anything.
Maybe i'm wasting my time on a piece of chinaware but this nut i still too tempting to ignore. It's just that with my limited Linux knowlegde it seems that mounting a device and formating it afterward sounds not to troublsome or am i completely lost. After asking Google, bing and some other SEs it is not that uncommon but none of the cures i found worked for my GBook.
What am i missing?
Stil no answer from Arnova on my request for a stockrom Download. Somebody got an Idea where elsee i could find a ROM image for an Arnove GBook or does anybody know if there is an alternative Firmware available?
I was able to connect to my Device via ADB

Please I am a complete Android Noob. Is there somebody able to guide me to a Point where i can start to patch all this together.
I am able to find pieces here, but i'm not getting the broad picture.

After reboot the gbook is throwing "unfortunately UI has stopped" and "unfortunately settings has stopped". Nothing works until i factory reset it again (at least something i am growing really good at) and I'm back to square one.
Other means of editing files within the system via ADB are only leading to access denied or system is in read only mode.
Any other ideas?
By using Archtablet.com's method: "http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/firmware-development/dumping-firmware-on-arnova-g2-arnova-g3-and-other-rockchip-based-tablets/" i tried to get an Firmwareimage. They tried to Help me out but again disaster struck. Ubuntu 13.04 with usblib installed failed to even recognize the GBook. Trying it with Windows and adb i need (what a surprise) root rights.
So next question is: Is there any general way to read out a tablet firmware without rooting or is it always up to the vendor to just screw things to their Liking ?
I know i should quit this beast, but stubborn as ever i keep banging my head against the wall .

Hey everybody,
I was setting up online Nandroid on my S4Mini LTE (I9195) and everything looks good so far. Except that preload is not being backup-ed. I also installed the the required recognition script. When using TWRP via recovery I am able to backup the preload partition.
Any ideas why I cannot backup the preload partition online?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Ok, problem solved. It was mistake with backup save location. After changing to /storage/external_SD instead external sd, it working as it should.

Patch or No Patch - That Is the....
Help!
Folks, I have one, perhaps-challenging question, and I am hoping that there will be a fairly straightforward answer from one or more of the obviously-above-average-intelligence contributors to XDA.
I recently purchased a Foxconn house-branded phone, an 'InFocus M512'. I had only.moderate expectations - you usually get what you pay for - but, it has exceeded my expectations from almost every angle. However, it arrived already-rooted. And now that I've invested some hours (I'm embarrassed to admit how many) investigating and installing security/privacy apps and mods, and debloating it, I'm really satisfied and it's no longer the cheap throwaway I had originally purchased... and given how many changes I've already made, it's pure luck that I haven't bricked it; I'm waaaay overdue for a full NAND backup.
But, I have no recoveries for it, I have no idea how it was rooted or what magic was thrown at it before it landed in my inexperienced hands. It's KK 4.4.2 - that much I do know. And the launcher is a lightly themed MIUI, as far as I can tell.
I installed Online Nandroid, looking like my best / only option to create a recovery.
I clicked on the 'Get Device Identified' button in Nandroid, which returned a device code MC2_CN - not in the downloaded patch list, of course. So, then I clicked on the 'Request a patch from Santa Claus' button...
I'm not holding my breath, waiting for Ameer to come up with a patch for me; I'm sure he has bigger fish to fry, and this phone is just one in the sea of obscure Chinese mutations (that's an actual place, I think).
So... here it is... finally... my question:
What's my next step?
Is there one? (Oh crap, that's two questions) Have I been too wordy? (Damn, that's three... and don't answer it - you'll hurt my feelings.
Any informed advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
Is this app currently maintained? I thought I would help out and sent in a patch weeks ago for my device (LG Realm) and never heard anything back. I also never got a response as to whether or not I can somehow load and use my own patch with the correct partition layout instead of having to download it.

Does Online Nandroid Backup work for Alcatel OT 5020D?
I tried to restore some apps with a Nandroid Manager and even if the app didn't show any error, none of the restored apps worked. After trying to run them they always crashed.
Not boot found not recovery found
Hi, i tried these script for my Xperia Neo mt15i, in your site in the list of supported devices says that no need of path file for my hallon but during the backup appears this message, and i don't know what is wrong, Online Nandroid makes appslog .android_secure system data cache, but it's strange no boot, recovery, and bootloader. It's something wrong?

@elasca This is common among Xperia devices. Your backup should just be fine. Your custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) would also not backup boot and recovery.

Do you know an alternative method to back up these partitions? I don't see these partitions even on terminal, it should be showed using "cat /proc/partitions" command, but only shows system, cache, appslog, data, and sdcard, no recovery, boot, bootloader, and other partitions showed in my Wolder tablet with Allwinner chipset.
I have also the question for these tablet, i can backup recovery and boot partitions manually but with nandroid appears "boot not found" and "recovery not found", are you working for a patch file for this tablets?
Thank you.

!!! HELP TO REPAIR U-Boot !!!

Hello everybody!!​Sorry for my english, I'm from Russia​
Can somebody help me to recover uboot to MEIZU MX2 (Exynos 4412 proccesor)?
I connect to my phone using UART-USB(RS232) Win7.
It happened after I changed the values of the variables in ENV, This is the factory default ENV (printenv):
Code:
bootcmd=emmc open 0;movi read zero fwbl1 0 40000000; emmc close 0;movi
read kernel0 0 40008000;movi read rootfs 0 41000000;bootm 40008000
41000000
I changed the values to:
Code:
bootcmd=emmc open 0;movi read zero fwbl1 0 50000000; emmc close 0;movi
read kernel0 0 50000000;movi read rootfs 0 50000000;bootm 50000000
Then entered the command: saveenv adn reset.
From that moment, everything changed, the phone has become a brick in uboot does not load, and the terminal writes:
Code:
[UART BOOT] Fail, Can
not connect to DNW.
I know that the problem in U-BOOT. U-Boot can not boot from the address 0x50000000.
Help me to find at least some some information to restore my phone.
Thank you.
