Wooooow I got a very great great great deal today!

I bought a 2nd hand a Chinese / Generic tablet android 4.0.4 at the helm from Cash Convertors.

It has an Allwinner A13 CPU under the hood!!!

Cortex A8 seems to handle like ANYTHING thrown at it.

I am very impressed,

VERY fast machine in my opinion.

It is in very good nick too, comes with Euro Charger, micro usb, and get this!

It ALSO comes with a micro usb to full USB female adapter!!!?

I did not even know these existed up until now!!

It was very cheap like I think it was R600 which is about less then 100 USA Dollars I think so at least???

Not 100% sure about the conversion of currencies now any way that doesn't matter.

BUT the crazy thing is, the build quality is OUTSTANDING... the build quality is really really really great and creepishly high for the price I paid.

WOW it is nice piece of hardware for the money...

I am going to try and get my hands dirty and have some fun with it since it was sooooo freaking cheap and don't really care if I brick her but

NOW I need you to help me with some random stuff!

How do I access "recovery mode" on this machine???

WIll I nee dto learn ADB commands from the start / all over?

Does anyone know how to do this?

I also want to dump the firmware on here onto a fat32 (maybe ext3???) formatted memory card in case the shit SERIOUSLY hits the fan.

It has an sd card slot so I am guessing dumping the firmware.img or the the system.img is not going to be too hard?

If any one can help me out I will be over the moon!!!

I have already come across the flashing kitchen but am Not 200% sure how to use it properly?

How to make livesiute (.img) file from firmware dump files?

:(

I will upload some photos of my new baby later!!!

:D:D:D

Thanks for reading my insane gibberish!

Yak yak yak!

Regards

S.S.

Thanks man!!

You aint seen nothing yet my amigo!

It is a very quick machine from the other stuff I have (which is not that grand but it has now replaced my Fly Touch 3.

This tablet (Q88) was a damn damn damn good deal that I could not afford to forget / miss.

This Allwinner A13 runs android 4 without any issues or hick ups.

ALSO got the Linux Kernel 3 on here!!

Can you believe it!?

:D

LOL

It is a nice machine!

NOW

How do I use ADB to dump the system.img and other stuff???

Wow I am clueless how to use ADB

:-(

Once again thanks Steve Adams!

And thanks to any one that can help me dump the iso :)
 
Here is android kernel 3 from "system settings"-----> "About" just to prove it! :)

Wow, I noticed the baseband line too. It has cell radios too!!! :eek:

stinky-stinky-albums-sally-picture6777-wp-000017.jpg

Dang, nice tablet for $73 US! Hell, nice tablet for $173! Oh, and the MicroUSB to female USB adapter is called a USB OTG (On The Go) cable. I have one for my Galaxy S3, I like it! I hear you can connect a USB game controller up with it and use that to play games!

Aww yeah!!! :D

Hey man, can't you make screenshots with it instead of shooting it with another (phone?)cam?

And can you upgrade to Jelly Bean? I hear that will speed it up even more.

Oh, and tell us about the front and back cameras and megapixels, and about the screen, what technology and what resolution?

Hey welcome to the forums duuuude! :)

Hang on I will upload some better shots with screen capture android application just for you bud! ;-)

I am not 200% sure you can upgrade to Jelly Bean.

:(

But I did find how to modify the os etc etc etc.

There are a few firmware files floating on the net by the looks of it!

Here is a custom rom based on the Allwinner a13 CPU:

[ROM] Ployer/Generic 7" A13 [ Android 4.0.4 Hyper Edition ] - Page 9

Ahh who cares if I got an ever so slightly more expensive price than the normal price?
