Really messed up tablet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I acquired a china tablet running lollipop 5.1.1 arm64v8
The board is al-mt81xx-86v1 with a cpu 8163
Kernel version 3.10.72 [email protected] #6
Build number HY U804MC_20190517_V1.1.00
Custome build version ALPS.L1.MP8.V_ALONG8163.E_p9
Recovery doen't work, just shows a sideways Android with no choices.
I would love a recovery that works and possibile the stock rom.
I can use my puter and get to adb root.
and the bootloader is already unlocked.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Do you know which commercial Alps tablet is the direct ancestor of your custom U804MC? Maybe if you found the firmware for that, you could fix this.

Thanks for replying

I finally got TWRP ported into the recovery, its upside down on the screen ( ie. you swipe the top when the image is on the bottom )but its at least working
I really want to thank you for replying, Staysafe and COVID free.

Do you think maybe you ported a TWRP for MT8127 into your MT8163? Could be incompatible?

To port TWRP you need the same processor and kernel version for donor and stock....It is the fastest way to port I think

MT6575 CM9 or 10 ROMS

Hi Everyone!
I want to know if there are CM roms for Chinese smatrphones with the MT6575 processor.
Thanks
Unfortunately there are no kernel sources from Mediatek so there are no Custom ROM like CM, the only way to make a ROM is to add some code to the kernel with reverse engineering and this isn't so good, because there are no ways to port MIUI or similar ROMs :'(
I'm working for some mods on Zopo models like ZP100, ZP200, ZP300, ZP400, ZP900, ZP400+ and ZP300+ but nothing over ROOT, CWM and BusyBox
Thanks AresSieran
You can find many firmware for MT6575 on russian forum *ttp://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewforum.php?f=46

Hello,
Would you know by any chance how to remove Phone storage (internal SD card) of the ZP300+ and liberate that memory for Internal storage ?

There are a few custom roms available in that same thread where the cwm recovery was, you could try some of those.
I'm using the 4.1.9 rom found in that thread.
Also there are a couple of Lewa bases roms for MKTK6575 phones you can try.
I dont have the link right here, but google Lewa mtk6575 and I think you will find something.
But first, is your phone working now or not?
If your phone is working, do make a full backup of the firmware before trying to flash any custom rom.
If the phone isnt working, then it cant be much worse, so then you can try any custom rom without risking anything.
Hi I have a 7" tablet with mtk 6575 dual sim cards, do you know where can I find a custom rom for it, it is similar to freelanders pd something with 3g moudles, bluetooth and gps built in any help will be appreciated...thanks.
Also before flashing the tablet, how can I make a full backup of my actual rom.

There is a tuto here in xda (use search engine) of using MtkDroidTools for backup and SP Flash Tool for flashing (sorry, I lost links)
Kernel source
If anyone is looking for a source for mediatek boards, Alcatel has released its sources. Alcatel phones are made by mediatek. I'm currently attempting to port CM to my S'pop which runs in MT6575 board but I'm not yet done syncing repos from CM. If you anyone is intersted, their sources can be found here.

Did you post this by mistake?
You did post the exact same message almost one year ago on page one of this thread. And I did give you a reply as well then.
If you still have the problem, and havent found any working firmware after looking for one year, then I fear you will not find it at all.
But you could always try. Since you already have the cwm on the phone, you could try any rom available for flashing with the cwm, and hope that one will work.
I did learn that these clones can be different even if they are labeled tha same. So one rom for eg. MTK6575 GT-I9300 may fail on a similar looking phone labeled MTK6575 GT-I9300. This happened to me when I tried to flash my wife's phone with my rom. The phones looked the same and was baught from the same dealer at the same time at a marked. So I asumed the hardware was the same. I had a lot of work getting the phone to work again.

MPIE M15 MTK6595 need advice

Hello,
i recently bought a smartphone from Ali.
It's a MPIE M15 with MTK6595 (CPU-z is agree). Here's the specs :
Android Version : 5.0.0
Baseband : MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43, 2014/09/17 10:10
Kernel : 3.4.67 [email protected] #1
Build Number : A100-HYDY 20150627-155331
Custom Build Version : 1435391497
Hardware : mt6595
After test, it's already rooted, i can access to Android Recovery.
The problem is that the installed rom is a Chinese Android version.
i want to install the factory Android Lollipop, but i cant find any version for my phone.
CyanogenMod installation via recovery have a OTA error..
So with my specs, is that possible to run another rom, like the Official Android (5.1?) and how to do it?
Thanks for your answer
Update
I understand that i have to install a custom recovery, but now i have a new problem..
MTK Droid Tools says the hardware is fake in Kernel or Firmware rolleyes not corresponding to the phone..
How to format all the phone, i want the Android Official Firmware on it, how to do that please ?..
OK MTK Droid Tools recognize my phone now. I do the backup for a custom TWRP recovery. if anyone know a link the original image of android .zip, thank you to tell me..
i continue :cyclops:

Please write if you find the program Im interested in purchasing that phone, but don't want to learn chinese
By the way, how that phone looks like in real life? All options works normally?
Hello, after two days working on the phone, i'm almost there.
First, this phone is faking his own components.
It's sold for a MTK6595, in fact it's a MTK6572. Same for Android, it's KitKat, not Lollipop. Not sure about the RAM (maybe 2Go). 1 virus app (AVG). Chinese stuff installed. I bought it 85$ from Ali (i understand now^^). The Camera is sh**, really! (but photo is not a prob for me).
Im not an experimented dev, the phone seems to be block somewhere, it's very hard to launch a custom recovery. I extracted the Stock ROM with MTK Droid Tools.
Finally, I install a custom recovery after a day of search, the Carvil Touchscreen and make it stable for the mPie. Now i want to install a Custom Rom on it, after replace the boot.img from Stock to Port, i have to modify the kernel, i will see..
If i managed a custom rom to get worked, i will post a tuto, if someones are interested
i continue :cyclops:

Hi there,
Since its a GENERIC TABLET made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer, it's impossible to get a firmware update. The best way is for you to create a custom version of android using LINEAGE OS, and also porting a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. But even though you have successfully created the OS you might not be able to install it on your Chinese Tablet.
Anyways if something happened during the process here's the link to download the stock firmware for that tablet :
https://www.cfirmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=8942
USE SPFLASH TOOL TO install the firmware since it is an MTK device.
Sincerely
KISB2173
Yeah i started to go that route but have been unable to find a recovery for it or a lineage version for it. is it possible to use a twrp and linage for a different but similiar tablet?

Hi there,
Yeah Twrp is just a recovery software, and Lineage is just a custom ROM, so you can use it on a different tablet. But again you have to port those two software for it to work.
However you can research it on google to see how to port them on different phones or tablets.

Update android from 4.4.2 to 5.0+ on hisilicon TV Box

I have been trying to find a method to update the android version on Hisilicon Hi3796 M100 android Set top box which is at present running android 4.4.2. As the android is this old, it doesn't support a good number of apps, from playstore, or by adb. I tried to find a custom rom online, but couldn't find. Is there one? Or is there any way to update the os if there is no official update available?
Moving from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0+ is an upgrade not an update.
To upgrade you need a Custom ROM what requires you have to flash a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ) before. Do you have a 100% matching TWRP available?
Hey,
Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you again for correcting that update-upgrade thing. Will keep it in mind.
And I am sorry I couldn't find a custom ROM for my device online. I am not sure what exactly it means by flashing a custom recovery.
Could you please explain it a little bit... or give some link from where I could find it out?
Thank you.
