What is my HERO I or HERO II tablet?
According to external signs, it is impossible to distinguish HERO I from HERO II. Corps copy each other. At the moment I know while 3 options. Who knows more say add.
1 option
Go to the settings. Go to the bottom of the tab "About the Tablet PC." In the menu item "Model" pay attention to the inscriptionQuad corewhat does the Four core processor mean, and therefore we haveHERO II.

Option 2
Like a roulette lucky bad luck. ATHero iin the microphone hole there is a miniature reset button (mikrik) and if you press there with something sharp you can feel a characteristic click and a reset will occur. HaveHERO IIthere, as it should be a microphone, and if you wake something up there, you can damage it. So advice advice but think for yourself.

3 option
Less barbaric, but a bit more complicated. Open the tablet and see the name of the processor. It opens in 5 seconds, seeinstruction. If aATM7029it means youHERO II

How to install the driver in Windows 8?
To do this, you will need to disable the manufacturer’s digital signature verification. This is due to the Windows security system.How to do this, see here.


How to install the Russian language after the firmware?
In the main menu we find this icon (Settings).

Click on the item with a little white icon with a letter A (for the future we remember how it looks). In the menu that opens on the right side, click the topmost item.

If you got a brick?
After the wrong firmware, the tablet does not react to anything. All options tried. Then youhere. Thank you sayfet fet. If this method does not work - trysuch. The best option is to find documentation on the chip and contacts by analogy with the first method.


The tablet does not load. Hangs at the beginning of the download on the inscriptions Ainol Novo 10 Hero
At the moment there are three reasons for freezing (if you know more write).
The first reason (the most common)- overloaded, in what way, how, how, the history is silent? Solution - Option # 1.
The second reason (it happens less often)- There are many assumptions on the forums, but the following is more often voiced: "Maybe your memory has fallen off and you need to format it." Solution - option number 2, or option number 3. A significant disadvantage of using these two solutions is the loss of all the data in the internal memory.
The third reason (extremely rare).- Manufacturing defects. Perhaps not drunk. Solution - Option # 4.
Option number 1 - off.
Press the Power button and hold it for 10-15 seconds, then wait 5 seconds and re-enable your tablet.

Option number 2 - Formatting through System recovery.
Go to Recovery:
1. Turn off the tablet (if it is of course enabled).
2. Press the buttonVolume-.
3. Without releasing it we clamp a buttonInclusions.
4. As soon as you see the inscription on the screen Ainol Hero 10 ..., releasejust a button Turning onbuttonVolume-continue to hold.
5. As soon as the recumbent robot appeared, release the buttonLoudness.
Navigate the menu using the buttons.Volume +andVolume-action confirmation buttonTurning on.

In the menu, perform the following steps.
Step 1:wipe data / factory reset- data formatting / reset to default settings.
Step 2:wipe cache partition- formatting the cache section.
Step 3:reboot system now- reboot.

Option number 3 - Formatting through the installation of firmware.
Reflash. After formatting the internal sdcard by means of windows, with full (long) formatting.

Option number 4 - Barbarian.
Attention!!! This is the most extreme way. Use it if we suck nothing helped. Brick. Also, do not forget if the tablet under warranty can send back to the seller.For this method you will have to open the tablet, completely disconnect the board and warm it. (How to do this, look on the Internet for information on how to restore the graphics card), I personally restored the work of 2 tablets in this way.


I can not turn off the tablet, I turn it off, and it reboots.
This situation appears after the wrong firmware. The system does not boot, and when you press the button, turning off the tablet does not turn off as we would like, but starts loading again.
Method number 1
Connect the tablet to the computer with a cable to any USB port. Press the shutdown button and hold it down for 20 seconds. Afterwards, let go and wait a bit. If a battery appears on the screen, you can disconnect the cable. The tablet is turned off.

Method number 2
1. Clamp the buttonVolume +and without releasing it we clamp the buttonTurning onfor 15-20 seconds.
Next buttonInclusionsrelease, but the buttonVolume +continue to hold until shutdown. Thank you say -kwassa


When will the new firmware, or update?
You yourself can track the release of new firmware on the official website of Ainol for exampleRight here.. Before they appear there, no one can answer you. Do not know Chinese? Google Chrome, eitherGoogle translatorYou can help.


How to get a ROOT?
ROOT is already received on all firmware.


How can I save all applications with all settings?
You can using the programTitanium backup, but better with the help of CWM Recovery which needs to be installed in the firmware. How to do this, see "Instructions".


How do I get into System Recovery or CWM Recovery?

With the help of the programReboot recovery ., either Rom manager or buttons. See description below.

1. Turn off the tablet (if it is of course enabled).
2. Clamp the buttonVolume-.
3. Without releasing it we clamp a buttonInclusions.
4. As soon as they saw the inscription on the screen of Ainol Hero 10 ..., release only the buttonTurning onbuttonVolume-continue to hold.
5. As soon as the robot appeared, release the buttonLoudness.
Moving buttonsVolume +andVolume-, action confirmation buttonTurning on.

The following menu items are available for System Recovery:

1. reboot system now- reboot.
2. apply update from ADB- install updates via ADB
3. wipe data / factory reset- data formatting / reset to default settings.
4. wipe cache partition- formatting cache partition
5. apply update from sdcard- install updates from Sdcard.

P.s. You probably heard from many such a question - did you do all the wipe? Know this about points 3 and 4. You have to use them for example when your tablet stops running or is constantly hanging on the initial splash screen, etc.


Problems with the firmware!
The flashing program stopped at 5%!
1. In this case, you need to disconnect the tablet from the computer
2. Turn on the tablet itself!
3. Turn it off normally, wait 2 minutes!
4. Clamping the Vol + connect it to the computer!
The problem must be solved!


Charging work, but the tablet does not charge

Firmware

MiniFAQ on firmware, for reading to beginnersnecessarily
Vocabulary:
  • stock, stock - factory, original (for firmware, recovery, software, etc.)
  • recovery (recovery) - a special mode of the tablet for its maintenance, we have a stock, CWM or TWRP
  • Flash the tablet through a PC, or a PC, or via a PAD — the Actions PAD Product Tool is used for the firmware (from the topic header), the firmware consists of many files (system.img, rec.img, misc.img, etc.)
  • flash through recovery - the firmware is copied to the tablet’s memory or a memory card and flashed in recovery mode without a PC, the firmware is a ZIP archive and must contain the META-INF folder

Firmware marked in the {REC} header - stitched through the recovery, marked {PAD} - through the PC.
For the firmware, you need to make sure that you are holding Hero II (Quad) and know the modification of the LG (V1) or Samsung (V2) display.

Instructions for “how to do this” are listed inFrequently Asked Questions.

The same canoe, only the tablet did not turn into a brick, but everything was the same. plowing ... and the Chinese software is in place .... Tell me who did it, in what mode to connect to the computer and sew (debug mode on yusb on, when connected it is defined as Novo 10 Hero Quadcore, the software for the firmware does not react in any way, I click on nothing is changed, but if you disable debug mode and connect it to your computer, the program sees the device and the system defines it as Actions usb 2.0 (hs) winusb device, but the firmware stops after 5 seconds and the second a line in the program "[A] DOWNLOAD_ADEC_FAILED", if you turn on your drive, the same happens)



Rep: (3)
The tablet should be turned off when you connect to the cable. In the connection settings, I did not change anything as the tablet came. I had drivers for the phone (Zopo and Lenovo) so I think that the reason was in them. Well, do not forget to hold down the volume button "+" before you connect the tablet. Try to remove the program for the firmware and put it again. Well, and another tip - do not connect any other usb devices during the firmware and it is advisable not to use usb hubs. I think that just the device falls off and therefore it turns out. (No other ideas (

PS Unfortunately, after the firmware, it did not become more stable with me. I'll try again today. the games from the market are not pulled pleases.: blush:

Thanks for the hint .... I stuck the tablet on, hence the problems .... With the tablet turned off, everything was done as it should.

: D You forgot to indicate that this is only your IMHO.
In my opinion - this is complete nonsense and the official stock firmware is great. No failure, glitch, freeze.
My HeroII came with android version 4.1.1, kernel version 3.4.0+, build number 2012.12.28 V1

Of the minuses seen - IMHO can not work on the network, because The power supply unit (battery charger) gets very hot. Kslov, in this model it is changed - a ferrite ring and a maximum current of 3A.
And on the one hand, the screen mount is weak - when you click on the edge a little "walks" by 0.5mm.
The camera compared to the Fire disgusting.

Rep: (3)
There are still unofficial Chinese firmware. Today I will try to download and install. Although, I’m hoping that I’ll earn enough money normally (I’ll have to send it under warranty. And this is a loss of about 2 months and costs of sending. Not counting the month I waited for the tablet to arrive. In a word, I lost this lottery (. Mostly I’m a supporter I’ve encountered the problem for the first time with Chinese products. It’s impossible to find the cause of constant visu when launching games. No Ainola website in Chinese only. There’s a forum for foreigners, but I’m barely able to register (I’m still a bit of Chinese). little will (selling I dropped the link to the firmware that I’ve put up already. Therefore, there’s not enough from the seller of the supor ... In short, I don’t have one conclusion to this story - I don’t buy new products right away, because in case of a marriage or poor device you lose either money or time (. And the products are not new, at least you will know the percentage of marriage or the risks associated with the defective device.

Eh damn ... I'll go drink something with grief)

Well, I just decided to try pure Chinese devices after I liked huawei. But in the case I received VERY strong differences in quality, which are compensated by price. Hardly I will try again, huawei do not need to disassemble.
