Hey All
Its been a while since I got to play with anything these days but I recently found one of these POS 10in touchscreen units in the dumpster and it fires up into a menu running android. So I was hoping I could reflash this and use it like a tablet given it's also got a small thermal printer in it, so maybe try and save it from e-waste
I searched online for more details and came across this HERE which is identical to what I have so hoping I can root it and flash it with a clean android?
I would love to repurposed this to use as a touch screen tablet or similar, since it's got a GSM module and can take an SDCard too as I opened it up and took some pictures and I managed to get it in a recovery mode as well - from the PIX its using a rockchip RK3368

I am not sure if the mini usb port is a OTG port to try and use ADB but I have not been able to do much with it and hoping someone can guide me through to possibly a reflash or ways to unlook root and add in another bootloader/rom
I've downloaded the files from citaq website but so far not been successful to do much with it, has anyone played with these and turned them into something more practical for the home?
Here's hoping for some tips - Apology if this is in the wrong section, move as needed :good:

Device actually is running Android 5.1.1. It seems it has only 1GB RAM what is far too little to run a full fledged Android.
As long as you don't replace device's Stock Recovery by TWRP or similar recoveries, after a successful rooting don't install Magisk and/or Xposed Framework, you're on the safe side to play with, IMHO.
As 1st step check whether device is accessable by means of both ADB and Fastboot.

Hey, Thanks for chiming in!
So in order to get ADB and or Fastboot its suggested to enable USB debugging in the device system settings, but I am not sure on how to do this, would it be safe to assume this is already USB debug is already enabled?
Could I back up the original stock recovery
I'm a little green on the whole process hence looking thought I'd ask here, I don't think I even have an OTG cable handy
I will see if I can load ADB on a windows box and try and talk to this unit
Cheers
Kosti
@Kostiz
An OTG-cable isn't needed, because the recovery menu
doesn't give you the opportunity to load something from an USB-device
OK, some success!
I went back and connected a mini USB straight to the PC and ADB driver installed detected the android device.
Ran ADB in windows powershell
So whats the best method to backup the entire ROM, and recovery files in the event I stuff this up?
Do I use just ADB for this or someother tools?
I did try one tool here from the vendors website but stuck as not sure what the Chinese characters mean..
Is the fact that this is only 1G i couldn't run Android at all and needs to be stripped down?
Cheers

Android Oreo Go Edition is a lightweight distribution of Android that runs better than normal Android on devices with <= 1 GB of RAM
How to backup device's Stock ROM is eplained here.
Thanks again mate!
Seem I have to do a lot of reading and thankfully everything is here, just got to spend time to read and have a go!
BTW how do I go about using volume rockers and power button to move around the menu in recovery when there is none but only the two buttons as shown the reset and recovery buttons on the main board?
BTW, the current ROM installed boots into a special menu, all other settings are hidden, would there be a way to enable seeing all the items and when getting the the settings (gear icon) that pops up in the corner, only takes me to the standard wifi menu to choose a wifi, so it seems everything else is hidden, if by enabling these I could potentially not need to do anything other than stop the default application from starting up - if that makes any sense
Could I just get back into a adb shell and try
adb shell
su
pm enable applicationname
I have to read up on rooting first I assume before I do much more, this is getting exciting, LOL :good:

You use Android's HOME button to navigate within the Recovery menu, use POWER button to select option.
Hi, fellas! Please help me with one of these Citaq H10 POS. All we have is bootloop with some custom ROM showing vendor's logo.
Forcing it into recovery gives me some dead android screen with "No command" text.
Please guide me through this challenge, cause I have no other option but to ressurect it somehow.
Good news is that I have another one that is working fine, so we could try cloning it or something. Please help!
Yet I can't attach pics, cause of few posts, but if needed I can PM some.
citaq h10-2
I am also stuck with this machine citaq h10-2 , i did use a wireless kb to move up/down and not the 2 buttons on the motherboard , i can talk with it with ADB but all you can do is put it in sideload to upload new firmware and put it in fastboot but in fastboot you only get a black screen , what I have don is > opened up developer mode but you have no OEM UNLOCK tick box in side so running any bootloader unlock dose not work and i have run them all, if you google this machine for flashing new firmware you only get XDA this forum, unless any body knows another place to get the info from please let us know as i do think this would make a nice tablet with printer, the firmware is 5.1.1 and would love to put 6.0 or above on it but. i did download some firmware and used sideload to install it but it come up with error , i did try and make a backup but cannot do it ?, I think the firmware was from a galaxy s5 , I am not into all this firmware flashing so I am learning as I go along and if I brick it up well it was for free any way as the takeaway was shutting down and he gave it to me so no loss, if any body knows how we can get 6.0 or above on this machine please let us know.
A big thank you to all that can help put android 6.0 or above on this tablet.
Did you guys take a look at the solution here ? It worked for me ! All with a 2k ohm resistor...

Now that I have a gs2 I really don't know what to do with android. Can someone please just post 3 to 5 things I should do with my phone to best improve my experience and Instructions on how to do them?

I was new to Android too with this phone about a month ago.. I would suggest playing around with it first, figuring out how you like your widgets laid out, what your settings for all your apps should be, etc, before you consider rooting/flashing.. Initially the battery may seem weak, but give it time to stabilize (and also your usage will go down once the newness wears out).. Through various posts you will figure out what apps are good, which ones drain your battery, and which ROM fits your need.. I'm on unnamed ROM and love it.. Let me know if I can help with anything in specific!

Check out the terms and acronyms link in my signature, so you have some basic level of understanding the terminology in the posts.
Look for some apps that interest you in the Android Market, just to start getting a feel for all the things your phone can do with applications...
Decide where to start - such as getting apps that need root level permissions (like Titanium Backup), and how to root on your phone. Or do you want to customize how your phone looks? See what you have available on your phone first, see what you like (or what annoys you!) and then how to change it. Basically get some starting goals.
Start looking up applicable posts, such as how to flash a custom ROM using Odin, customizations such as ADW.Launcher, etc. Be prepared for a lot of reading, and following instructions to the letter!
...(?)
Profit!
Seriously though, the phone has a huge amount of potential ... you have to figure out what you want to do. Chances are someone has posted a guide to do it (or someone helpful will reply) -- but it's up to you to decide what you want.
Your best bet is to read...a lot. Start here and here. And if you have questions about things, I suggest asking via IRC. People get pissed when the forum gets cluttered up. Best of luck to you.

Ok. here is the easy way to start your i777 SGS2 adventure
If you plan on flashing a custom rom you will not need to root your phone because all of the custom
roms here in XDA forums are pre-rooted.
Here is the best and easiest way to flash/install a custom rom and backup your original stock rom.
First you need to install the Samsung USB drivers into windows.
(Be sure to use the original Samsung USB cable for trouble-free operation)
Here is the link for the Samsung Unified USB Driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
After installing the usb driver above restart windows.
Now is a good time to download a custom rom of your choice, there are about 5 or 6 you can choose from.
I would suggest to download the "UnNamed" custom rom which can be found here: update-unnamed-v1.1.0-full.zip
It is currently the best and most reliable full featured custom rom you can find for our i777 phone.
After you have downloaded a custom rom you need to copy it to your phone's internal sdcard.
To copy the rom zipfile to your phone you need to go into the settings of the phone:
settings>applications>development>usb debugging and make sure that the "USB debugging" is disabled.
Connect the usb cable from computer to the phone and open "Computer" from the start menu in windows &
there you will find a "SGH-I777" drive icon.
Open it and you will see 2 icons, PHONE and CARD, copy the custom rom zipfile you downloaded into the
PHONE drive. (you will only see CARD if you have an external micro sdcard in the phone)
Now you need to download these two files below.
SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Odin3_v1.83.exe Windows Executable: http://hotfile.com/get/116095613/4ea...din3_v1.83.exe
Copy both of these files into a new folder on your desktop.
Open Odin3 in your new folder & select the PDA button & select the "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" file.
Once this is done press the volume up & volume down buttons at the same time & hold them pressed
until you plug the usb cable from computer to the phone & you see the triangle on the phone's screen
and the "COM:XX" box in Odin3 light up yellow.
Then click the START button in Odin3 to start the kernel flash.
After successfully flashing you will see the blue CWM Recovery menu of options.
Select "Reboot System" from the menu.
After the phone reboots go back to settings and enable the usb debugging & power down the phone.
Now press & hold both volume buttons & press and hold the power button at the same time until you
see the SAMSUNG text on screen then let go of power button first then let go of the volume buttons.
Wait for the blue CWM menu then select "backup/recovery" then select "backup".
The phone will start backing up your stock rom at this point.
Once it gets done backing up your stock rom you can flash the custom rom.
To flash your custom rom select "Wipe data/Factory reset" from the menu.
Then select "Install zip from sdcard" & select the custom rom zipfile which
you have copied to your phone.
Once it gets done flashing & installing select "reboot system".
Using the blue clockworkmod recovery menu:
HOME softkey = selects.
BACK softkey = go back.
Volume Up/Volume Down = scroll up & down.
Now you are ready to use the phone. (at last!!!)

Hi everyone,
i have a Trekstor Surftab Wintron 7.0 which mounts an Intel Atom Z3735G and 1GB ram and runs Windows 10 Home 32bit. it works quite good for just 50€ that i spent to buy it, but i think that it can do more, specially because apps from the Microsoft Store are not so much, and using the tablet without the "tablet mode" is quite difficult because the screen is too small and buttons hard to press.
Standing at the specs I can see it has the same hardware of the Trekstor SurfTab xintron i 7.0, but it comes with Android on it.
What i want to do is to get the image of the internal flash of a Xintron and write it in my Wintron.
Thanks to xblax i have the following partitions img files in different files:
-boot
-bootloader
-fastboot
-oem
-recovery
-system
After many attemps i was able to boot the Ubuntu Live USB and using the DISK application, I formatted the disk according to the partition table always from xblax and i flashed the partitions IMG files.
Anyway now I am stuck because because the bootloadet.img seems to have a 64bit bootloader in it.
The Intel Atom Z3735G processor is 64bit, but I am pretty sure the UEFI is locked to boot only 32 bit systems.
any hint please?
Can anybody help me? I'm not a Linux expert, so I just want to know how to write an IMG partition taken from a device on another device (that is basically the same) and boot it.
I am pretty sure it could boot so i think i just need some basic info

Have you tried Refind Boot manager?
Not yet, i'll give it a try and let you know
So, i tried the flashdrive IMG but in the boot menu I don't see any choice.
But after a few tries I found that if I rename the bootx64.efi file in bootia32.efi refind finds something

http://www.xda-developers.com/remix-os-for-pc-exits-alpha-enters-beta-brings-exciting-news-with-it/
Yep!! I'm waiting for it!
Let's see if it will work!
Finally the Beta came, it looks great but... I am experiencing some hardware issues.
First of all the touchscreen. It works, but seems that it is not calibrated properly, making it impossible to use without a mouse. Than also the audio, Bluetooth, battery monitor and many other things are not working at all
I read that there should be the possibility to calibrate the touchscreen but I didn't find any solution...
Suggestions?
Hello Niddu,
I am also intersted in running android on the wintron 7.
Did yout get success in running the Xintron images on the Wintron, or have you got some other Solution?
Thanks and greetings from Germany.
Hi, unfortunately i had no clue because of my lack of knowledge in Linux.
Anyway I suggest you to spend some time on trying to make RemixOS Beta 32bit working.
I actually don't know how to compile a kernel, but if you can do it you can try to integrate the missing drivers.
With the official release the touch screen is working but is not calibrated properly and that's the main problem because without it you need to connect an external mouse/keyboard without the possibilty to keep the tablet in charge.
Anyway sound, bluetooth, battery management and power and volume keys are not working.
If somebody is able to make it work I'll be glad to help them!!
Now i had Success in running Android x86 4.4 on it.
The Touchscreen is working very well, but the three soft buttons for back home and recent are not working?
Bluetooth, adjust screen lightning and sound are not working
Great! Can you link the release are you using? If someone could explain how to add drivers to an existing android image that could be a good starting point!
I just tested the version that I guess you are using but I have the same result on the touch I had using remix OS.
I'll try to explain you better with images.
Keeping the tablet in portrait mode lets analyse first of all the Y axis.
Clicking on the upper part of the screen it results aligned on the 0 of the y axis.
But if I click in the lower part it not calibrated
Analysing the X, the left side of the screen is not really aligned
While on the right it is almost OK.
Last one is the "windows" key. When I press it, a touch is simulated on the screen in an area that is not covered by the touchscreen
Is there anyone able to guide me in the calibration of the screen?
Hello Niddu,
i used android-x86-4.4-r5 : ....android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-r5...
It themes that there are different Versions of the Tablet out there.
I have the ST70416-6 / Windows 10 Version.
When i start the Android Live image, the Calibration screen appeares automatically and after Calibration it workes like i saied befor.
I also have a ST70416-6 Win 10, but when i launch the live Image of the same version of your it does not ask me for touch calibration. Can you post me a picture of how this calibration is?

Trekstor Wintron 7 touchscreen driver
Hello everybody,
I had success building a touchscreen driver for the ST70416-6 version. The driver that is used in Android x86 is the gsl-firmware: github.com/onitake/gsl-firmware
I used the original driver from Trekstor (SileadTouch.fw) to build a Linux driver using the firmware tool:
./unscramble SileadTouch.fw firmware.fw
./fwtool -c firmware.fw -m 1680 -w 900 -h 600 -t 5 -f track silead_ts.fw.
After that I pasted the silead_ts.fw in system/lib/firmware in Android x86 that i have installed on my sdcard. Now the Touchscreen works quite good.
The Android x86 version I used is the latest android-x86_64-6.0-rc1.iso.
Unfortunately sound, battery, camera and bluetooth are still not working. The sound chip seems to be a ALC5642 which is still not supported by Linux.
The gyrosensor is working but the axis are inverted so that it is unusable. Has anyone an idea how to swap the axis of the gyro.
Link to firmware: dropbox.com/s/bce8bc6zu3gc0g4/silead_ts.fw?dl=0
Unfortunately I´m not allowed to post a link because I´m a new member , so you have to paste a http www before the two links.
Hello, im back
Sry for the long time, i got my second son and many, many positive trouble with family and so on
Sry nidu for not sharing that screenshots.
I tried Merlins guide to build an own driver and it is working.... thank you very much
I tried it with Android x86 6.0 rc and maybe with a very slow usb drive touch is working but all react very slow, i will try it with android 4.4 and other usb drive tomorrow.
[Q] Anyone delt with Samsung 5 Series Chromebook Model xe500c21? Need to Reset / Format somehow.
Chromebook is from 2011-2012. I aquired 15 of these units from an auction. All ex units from a local school. I was told all were removed from the Admin System. Yet when I log in i get the login screen with the icon and password box. So its obvious user accounts are still on there and i need to reset the chromebooks somehow. I went to add user i believe it was on the bottom bar and it took me to a google login screen (similar to FRP) asking for username @"school".k12."state".us and password. At the top it says "Enterprise Enrollment Managed by "school".k12."state".us". I have not been able to make it back to the original screen. I tried flipping the dip switch on the side to enable developer mode and it says it was disabled my Admin. Most likely so the kids wouldn't hack it. There is no options for me except a water down Accessibility Menu, Sound, Wifi and Shut Down.
I have tried esc + refresh key on the original login screen and also shift + ctrl + alt + r? i think it was. Neither worked. I have also read that there is a read/write screw that needs to be removed. I am still researching but have yet to find the best working method to bypass and reset these.
I plan on putting Android on a few if possible. On the others I plan on putting Chrome OS back on and Windows 10 on (slimmed down version since SSD on these are only 16GB).
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks,
phonecapone

Doesn't look like there is a read/write screw on this model. As well I have not successfully been able to enter developer mode. Model seems to be watered down. I had an RMA with Samsung but since 12 out of the 17 have no warranty anymore they want to charge for fixing them. I did hear from a moderator on samsung.com that there is supposedly a specific Chrome OS version that will work on this. Awaiting an answer back.
I have tried everything known to man and nothing works. My last and what should have been my first options are to contact Googles Support dept through samsung and also the school systems IT Dept to get the MAC and domain removed. Deprovisioned basically.
if you've still got these chromebooks around you might want to give this a try. i just got my xe500c21 a few days ago with an enterprise account lock. After long night of tedious trial and error i am officially logged into the developer console with root permissions. Keep in mind that i haven't *entirely* bypassed the enterprise lock, but now that i have root access it will be trivial... lmk if you need details....
the http://mychromehome.blogspot.com/2014/07/download-chromebook-recovery-image.html
this site has a ton of chromebook images you can download directly from google servers. if you check the file names for our device, you'll notice the 4 variables are: 3g, wifi, US, and non-US.
download whichever firmware *does not* match your current configuration, unzip it, and flash it to a usb using win32 Disk Imager.
https://ayera.dl.sourceforge.net/project/win32diskimager/Archive/win32diskimager-1.0.0-install.exe
make sure youve unzipped the .bin file and click the dropdown box to change "img files" to all. select your .bin file and click write. once its done toggle the dev mode switch to on and then reboot to recovery insert the usb. after it finishes you'll notice a new splash screen, then it'll boot up.
at this point if you get online and try to continue you'll still see the enterprise lock, but fear not. toggle the dev mode switch back to off and the reboot. it'll do the wipe and restart, then from the main screen flip the switch one last time to on, then reboot. now youll see an unfamiliar dialog warning you about the dangers of dev mode. proceed and wait for the chromebook to reboot. it took mine about 6 minutes so be patient.
once it reboots you can enter the terminal by pressing ctr + alt + --> (3rd key from left on top row)

Thanks a ton for that information. It has gave me some ideas and i'm sure will help others in a similar situation. Unfortunately I sold all ~20 something of mine and only have 3-4 parts machines left. All need screens and or are still locked. I managed to get all mine unlocked by calling the school district and having their IT guy deprovision all of mine but a couple.
The only chromebook I have left now is a 13 series? i think it is. Its put away else id take a look at it right now. It supposedly has no issues with dev mode which is why i kept it so i can learn everything about chromebooks then sell it off as im not the biggest fan of them personally. Have too many toys too. ha
Thanks for the advice, ill pass it along to a buddy who is doing some dev on chromebooks right now.

Update
Im a tad bit disappointing no one has any replied as where to look or give any input to my problem some of us are not android gurus and so far i have spent 3 solid days trying to find out as much as possible to solve my problem. Anyhow be assured once i do crack this i shell do a complete guide for this for these boards and list all firmware links ect ect
UPDATE SO FAR
So iv been digging about digging around and yet still nothing on the firmware side of things but i have found the board make model which is
SunChip AD-Z05 V4.1 and the device is EL-1851AIO 18.5" screen
I have checked the site for firmware which has come up blank also the seller site of the device its self no firmware there ether but now i have better leads i might (fingers crossed) find it somewhere. I will keep this post updated as i go
anyone who has any idea's to this feel free to comment or message me.

Hello,
i have the same thing like you. But im not a developer. Do you have any update about links to ROM or something? Many thanks.
Don't know if anyone still cares or is tinkering around with this, but I came into possession of a touchscreen display board with the AD-Z05 SoC ARM board.
For everyone's info, the AD-Z05 is made by SunChip and designed to be used by OEMs for various things. If you've ever tried hunting down info about it like I did, you'll find very little documentation about it besides this board overview:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note the "Update" button, located next to the power jack. This is our key to getting into the recovery environment. I haven't found a consistent method for getting it to work, but what seems to work most of the time is holding down the update button, connecting the power source, pressing the Power On/Off button, then waiting until the default android recovery screen is up (should only take about 10 seconds tops.)
From this point, I'm stumped on what to do. ADB reports that the device is in recovery mode, I can get a basic shell and browse the ROM, even finding some factory test binaries, but that's about it. This wiki deals with the Rockchip CPUs and has some useful utilites, but the RkDevTool reports that my CPU doesn't match whatever ID it's expecting. Trying to reboot into fastboot or this "maskrom" mode freezes the utility. I've tried reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have any documentation, I'll post back if I find anything.
Edit: Also see the official Rockchip wiki.

Hello:
I'm not a developer in the least bit, but I'm trying to find firmware for AD-X37. I've done some searching and thought this might be helpful for anyone who might understand the information: https://www.oschina.net/informat/linux下go语言开发
【GoRK3288】1.Rockchip RK3288, GO!GO!!GO!!! - OSCHINA - 中文开源技术交流社区
前言： 最近看了看Google的Go语言，发现有点意思，这个开源的项目准备用golang来实现。 其实开发板本身的驱动程序已经实现了各个功能，但是有的时候在使用中有些麻烦，有可能需要修改dts文件重新编译内核才能够使...
www.oschina.net
Also, maybe this information about maskrom mode from https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-RK3288/upgrade_table.html
Focus on: In Windows, When Linux upgrade to the Android5.1, how to enter Maskrom Mode:
Steps are as follows:
In AndroidTool_v2.58, click “Erase Flash”, this step is erase IDB, it can’t erase flash, so it will appear “erase flash failed”;
Reboot, in AndroidTool_v2.35, click “Erase Flash”, when it finish, the board will enter Maskrom Mode;
Click “Upgrade” to start burn the Android5.1 firmware.
Sorry if this is not helpful at all. Please keep us updated.
Thank you for the info, @jimlarson77! Did you happen to see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing?
I did hear back from SunChip:
Sunchip is one of Apple's provider. We are professional manufacturer and designer of LCD digital signage which established in 2012,we have more than 80 engineers focus on Android mainboard's software and hardware R & D, commercial media player/box(support Android and Linux OS), also provide SKD parts for LCD digital signage.

I did not see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing. I attempted to flash firefly firmware(through the complete steps listed in that last link I sent about Maskrom, and everything went perfectly until the firmware was flashed. Now the board I tried it on won't power on(I'm aware now that the firmware was not the correct one).
If you would like to run some tests with a functional or non-functional board, I could let you play around with a few that I have.
Thank you for the offer @jimlarson77. My curiosity is only from an amerature hobbyist perspective; I'm curious if I can get my digital sign working and flashed, but otherwise I will just try to part it out.
I just received a NUU A5X/N5501LAT from Abbott. Interesting little device; I haven't seen a self-proclaimed "PDA" since the iPAQ days. It's running Android 9 on either a MT6739 or a MT8765, according to the FCC teardown photos.
Either way, it's severely locked down. The notification shade automatically wipes away, developer mode is blocked, most settings are restricted, and the launcher literally only allows four apps: Nuu App Store (which, coincidentally, only has two other apps in it), the AOSP Browser, the Abott Frestyle app that the device is meant to be used for, and Firefox.
It will take a MicroSD (and, entertainingly, has a micro-SIM slot despite not being a phone), and has a micro-USB port as well. I can't find a fastboot combination using its volume and power keys.
I'd love some thoughts on how to make this thing into a generic PDA without all the restrictions. I'm stuck without access to ADB at this point due to the developer settings being blocked, and I'm honestly at a bit of a loss as to where to go next. Thanks for your input!
Hi, I have the identical gadget; the NUU A5X, that is. Mine can't be made to change its boot sequence by holding down buttons, either, it seems. Mine is locked indentically I believe.
Mine responds to USB connection, but It does not seem useful.
I think It mighr be possible to connect to it via NFC or bluetooth, but I know far too little about those protocols, other than TCP/IP, if that runs on blueooth, then that might work. I might try make a grid of procedures to test all buttons

I think you could write and compile an executable to put the nuu service to sleep, or to withdraw its privileges, or to ovet-ride it. Unfortunately, I never got my development environment for Android set up.
I might be able to write a small utility in C,
even if it only makes a system() call. it might do the job. I have found that Firefox can download an arbitrary file. The executable would call an Intent, to do some job or other to "pull the plug".
I am looking to see what the possibilities are.

I am interested as well in a solution

I'm trying somethiing. It will take time. Don't hold your breath
I found out if you click idk how much times on the nu sogen in the Home Screen then you need to enter a password bud i don’t know the pasword
hi people, the same here, anyone have found something to make this brick useful ?
+1 to this
Acording to NUU Mobile Support, this phone can't booted into recovery mode, or be flashed.....
This phone is made to be used to track blood pressures in hospitals. I haven't tried to flash it yet, but I will
meme problématiques un genie ce cache parmis vous pour resoudre ce probleme???
Mod translation via GT: even problems a genius this hides among you to solve this problem???
Just been given one of these.
As already said holding the power and down or up buttons or all 3 has no effect.
and you cant click about phone 9 times to enable debugging mode for ADB access. which would be handy.
I can bluetooth files from one phone to it. but it doesnt know what to do with them. I put a sim card in, but there is no app to make phone calls.
The default browser does have permission to access system files, but I have no idea how to tell it to do so. Cant even get the camera to work. ah well maybe I should just use it to read my blood sugar levels. I guess I could buy a sensor to hammer into my arm hehh hehh
Same here, tried everything i could but no change.
If you download a file with their built-in browser that it can't open it will open up the file manager where I got some log files
Appearently serial over USB is enabled at some point during the boot process (?)
Use this tool: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
And do: mtk meta FASTBOOT, then follow the instructions shown and finally do fastboot flashing unlock to perform an unlock
It will give you a message basically like:
if you do this, warranty will be void and a factory reset will be done. Press Volume up to continue.
Disclaimer: I haven't tested it to the end (shut it off instead of pressing volume up) since I want to do some more exploring with my currently installed toolset so I can find out more

I tried it today, the result is weird, as MTKClient seems to react to the phone off, but not the ADB command that staying in the wait of any devices.
Also, the phone still can show battery status in that state? Normal?
It looks like it get in, then out of the FASTBOOT
Nuu Service is an extra launcher that opens and overlays when you start your smartphone. The default system launcher is Quickstep and you can change the launcher. However, the change is suppressed and immediately reversed. A reset is also blocked in the system. The standard browser is authorized to make changes to the system. There is definitely a weak point.
How can I execute key codes such as +#06#? I can't find the caller keypad.
You can also enter "secret codes" via a detour.
Open the standard browser, enter a bar/restaurant in google search, press call. The call keypad opens. I've already tested a few codes.
*#*#1111#*#* Hardwareversion
*#*#4636#*#* Display information Wifi, Phone-Info, Userstats
*#*#225#*#* Calendar Storage
Edit:
*#*#3646633#*#* Code for Engenering Mode - I get a message that developer mode is locked.
Just for fun I made a packet recording with the Fritzbox and looked at it with Wireshark. The device pings several servers in Germany, Finland and the USA.
The apps are actually online downloads. I did not expect.
I took a closer look at the ip's and found that "Sure Lock" runs on the device as a kiosk app. This can be configured as the customer wants. So Abbott/NUU.
If you type very quickly and often in succession on the home screen, a password input field will appear after a while.
If you had a password now...
Sure Lock's standard password (0000) obviously doesn't work

Hi,
I found something interesting on this device. Indeed I can have access to notifications and in particular to NUU service, which when I keep pressing it appears a small i button, which allows access to the parameters of this application.
Obviously everything is blocked on it except in the advanced settings it's possible to deactivate the overlay to other apps and the possibility of modifying the system parameters.
After turning everything off and restarting the phone, I arrive not on the launcher but on the classic version of Android 9, which lasts a few seconds before glitching on the famous launcher.
I tried to exploit these few seconds at best but without success, I remain stuck on the lock screen.
Have you tried this generic bootloader-unlocking method?
