needed a firmware (stock or custom) to be able to use some apps etc, so i flashed the one given here:
RK2918 Tab Odys-Loox rocks with CyanogenMod 10 / 10.1!
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012654, beta build - v1.2)
after flashing completed, tablet hard bricked. no screen, nothing (even backlight of screen not working, so it is not a "black screen of death" but instead "death" only i guess :laugh: , though it reacts on charging with led)
anyone have any idea about what happened or how to recover it?
ps. atm i work on "29-30 pin shorted" thing (http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41388-unbrick-instructions/) but not sure if it will work for me yet.
update
I was able to de-brick it (couldnt use "short 29-30 pins" thing, chips had a metal cover over them soldered to mainboard, I used reset button with volume buttons, I pushed them like crazy alot of times and somehow got rockchip usb flash state for once then re-flashed stock rom (I had rom-dump files and original "update.img"), it is working now with stock rom.
continued as follows:
1) Tried alot of other roms from similar tablets, some just stays at android screen, some works with corrupt graphics, etc
2) Oma_Odys_Loox_JB_CM10_4.1.2_v1.2 = killed the tab, debricked by luck
3) Oma_Odys_Loox_JB_4.1.1_v1.2.1a (with Oma_extSD_to_NAND_OTG_fix) = works till welcome screen, but touchpad not working so i couldnt check the system further more
4) Oma - Odys Loox GB 2.3.1 v1.3a = touchpad not working, and graphics weird (low color depth+some minor glitches on image), just waiting at main screen cause of touchpad, adb shell works (with root)
5) flashed original kernel over Oma - Odys Loox GB 2.3.1 v1.3a, screen resolution, color depth fine now, touchpad working too, but have problem with sensor, left-right or up-down shifted up to tablet position, trying to fix it
6) activated "ro.sf.hwrotation=270" in build.prop, sensor fine now. Only problem left is touch screen Y axis inverted
7) still working on Y axis issue, but weird thing is calibration works correctly, no inverted axis! and succesfull. but then I have to click upside for something downside or downside for something upside.
8) darn. it is not up or down. it becomes left or right if flip tablet to 1 side.
9) i decided that problem is about touch-driver and i dont have enough knowledge to fix it. left over tablet with factory rom, working but ehhh.
note:
thx to Oma7144, i learned few things from his/her posts, i try to find thx button now xD

Great initiative, I received mine yesterday (gadgetdealer phone 5c-> same specs) I already lost a whole evening with mtk droid and sp flash tools. So far I managed just to make a dump of the current rom and noticed the kulauncher apk in there besides other non wanted apk's. But none of any threads is very clear of procedures and don't want to brick it.
For root: framaroot works (select supersu). Googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk 4.2.2 was required to get de calendar working with Google. And i had do update youtube manually to get it playing videos.
Update: I tried to flash it with the Goophone i5c rom you can find in several other threads. I am not really sure if it is compatible but so far I haven't been able to start the actual flashing... it seems it cannot find the device. Already tried by putting the phone in bootloader mode... no luck (but perhaps it saved me from a brick phone). Does anybody found a way to get a better notification bar that shows icons for messages like whatsapp, gmail,play store... ? I already installed the SystemUI.apk from Goophone i5c.. it's compatible but does not change anything.
Sup guys
I just received mine one day ago and I noticed that is going veeery lagy. I just started to fight with it. If I make any progress, I'll share my results with you. Btw This thread is a great idea!!!

Hello to everybody,
I have received one phone as described (bought on DHgate).
I have root it with farmaroot: ok.
But, I can not change the launcher, I have the launcher kuLauncher.apk. I have tried with different apps: home switch, home manager, ... but any of them can erase kuLauncher as the home launcher.
Does anyone reached to change it?
I´m in the same situation, I have a KUPHONE but this model includes GPS and 3G (WCDMA - 2100 MHz). The stock ROM has several mistakes and it is very laggy. Now I have added a problem after testing 2 different SIMs: I can´t start up my smartphone with a SIM because after enter the correct PIN, the screen gets frozen and I can´t access to the system. Without SIM it works OK...
I rooted it without problems in order to make work the GPS, but I was not able to make work the 3G (I had selected WCDMA in engineer mode and It did not work) .
There is no info about this phone on internet, the codes of Goophone do not work, and I am reading that the ROMs do not work neither...
Please I need a solution! A ROM that works well on this device.
Thanks a lot in advance, :good:
I have this phone as well and would love to put a new rom on it or change the launcher. Any progress on this? I will say there are menus when holding the volume buttons down and the power button. But that's mainly recovery and some add on side loading stuff. Then there's another menu but it's in full Japanese and I can't make any of it out.
Hi guys, I recently bought a GooPhone i5C, rooted it fine with VRoot, tried to update the ROM over the weekend, and ended up bricking my device.
I had taken a backup of my GooPhone at work, and also at home. I tried restoring from a stock KuPhone ROM, but this just left my phone on the Apple logo (had to take the phone apart to get to the little button near the power switch that kills power to the phone). Once back at work on Monday morning however, I restored (loaded the scatter file then hit Download), and my phone started working again.
So in short, I have uploaded my backup if anyone wants it, although you may have to use MtkDroidTools to 'prepare' the files for flash, and then use the scatter file that this creates. I pretty much just registered to post this, so I can't post the link to the backup just yet (PM me or something?).
help! i deleted kulauncher...

The phone is rooted but i can't have root shell via adb.
Days ago i had a backup of the rom whit MTK tool but if i try to flash it whit SP_flash tool it return me error 8038.

Clean rom
In my quest for a clean rom i came on this one: needrom.com/mobile/ px-c5s5 . Any chances it would work on our devices? Or could it help to mix up with our original rom... Just a thought.
My biggest frustrations with this phone.
Hi, I also bought this phone (for my daughter with her money) without knowing what it was. I believe it's a kuPhone due to a folder 'Kustore' on the device and the microphone hole which is very close to the left bottom screw and further away from the audio jack than on real GooPhone.
Anyway, this phone can be bought very cheap (65eur, free shipping ) and performs well.
However I see a general problem with signal reception:
Wifi: have to be in very close range to the router, about 5m maximum.
3G: rather slow, speed test reporting max. 1Mbps.
GPS: slow locking (several minutes) and not very precise, but still usable.
FM: worse than my other devices inside the house.
Other remarks:
Audio jack only fits 3 pin headphones, 4 pins with microphone do not work well enough to be usable (low volume, shallow sound).
Camera is only 2 megapixel and show green shading under artificial light and some angles. LED flash very weak, does not help.
Microphone mute is activated accidentally when calling (by your cheek pressing the screen at the mute icon, proximity sensor does not seem to work as expected.
When you go to recent call, the caller app crashes.
512 MB memory seems to fill easily, phone blocks and need to cold boot by pressing HOME+POWER buttons together for 10 seconds
Apart from these I do not see any of the problems mentioned in this forum, UI is response and working very well.
I'm prepared to share my ROM if this is of any use to someone, but he has to explain me how. I never did such a thing.
If anyone can help to improve signal reception, welcome!
Hi guys,
I bought a similar phone but I don't know if is agophone or a kuphone.
There is any way to understand what I bought?
There is a way to change the recovery boot in English, now is in Chinese and is not easy to manage

hi guys I solve this problem by setting my date and time, and the phone work fine now!
"I can´t start up my smartphone with a SIM because after enter the correct PIN, the screen gets frozen and I can´t access to the system. Without SIM it works OK..."
I've seen this on my phone too, but it's been a while ago and I was able to fix it. It's working since. I don't remember what I did to fix it, but it was not something difficult to do, so don't despair and try a few things.
bootloader
Anyone succeed to flash a boot loader on the kuphone?
Hello,
I have been looking for the answer all over but can´t find it.
I have 3 nooks, they all worked fine for 6 month, but this year in January they all automatic self restored them selves, and downgraded to the old version 2.0.2
I don´t know what happened or what could cause this problem, i did not press any restore buttons or install any software that would cause that, no addition SD cards or cables connected. Just woke up next day they all show me Set up Screen where i have to choose language , and connect to the internet, then they install them self, and i check the version and it´s old one..
After that i have to install about 2-3 updates, till i get to the 2.2 version
The only thing that i suspect is that they were all put together in to the same box, and could be that they press on each other THE N button , but would that trigger them to self restore ??
Thank you, i would really appreciate your help. Because i have more nooks and i am afraid if this could happen to them also one day.
The last version of firmware for the Nook Tablet (the Nook model discussed in these forums) are 1.4.3. Your Nooks most likely are HD or HD+, as the latest firmware for them are 2.2.x. You should post on your question on the forums dedicated to the HD/HD+: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd.
FWIW, a commonly known trigger for a Nook to get into a state leading to factory-reset is when it fails to boot/reboot 8 consecutive times.
Thank you for your answer, i am so sorry , didn´t realise that this is not NOOK HD forum (

I found amazing problem that works almost like magic.
So what happens is that i have 3 nooks , and to save some space i put all of the together in to the same box.
Now i have been doing some test and found out that When you put nooks on top of each other they will turn of the screens and can if you move them a little, they will turn on as well. So that could cause the problem that they would turn on / off so many times that that would lead to the boot / reboot / factory-reset.
It´s unbelievable that 1 nook is turned off can have EFFECT on the other one that is ON, it will wireless tell him to turn of the screen .
Here is the video :
I will post this in to the Nook HD forum

hi,
i have a Generic - Tablet screen 7" Allwinner A13 1.0GHz CPU Android 4.0, 4 GB HDD 512 MB , and i used live suit to flash a rom, but the problem is that always when i try to flash a room the touch screen do not work, i am a newbie with this high tech stuff, if anyone could help me i would appreciate a lot .
i installed this rom <> A13-EVB-V1.0-20130926-Android4.2.2-Os-root-MaPan from this site >>>>http://www.androidtablets.net/thread...13-roms.72449/
and i tried to install some drivers of this link but did not worked, i dunno if i run it correctly, i simply downloaded and pressed run.exe in the file of the download, this is the site of the modules>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2447819
i also tried installed the FaaastJB v2.5 rom and the touchscreen driver did not worked and any of those modules worked. so if anyone could help me please write me ....
What touch screen fix worked for me.
I have an A13 running FaaastJB v2.5 and struggled for a long time getting the touch screen working.
The ROM I'm using came from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447819
The set of drivers that worked for me were the FOC110 which is the last of the SPECIAL TS modules listed
One time I had to load them twice in a row to get them working. It complains about missing directories when loading but worked for me.
Hope they work for you also
