It seems that everything was done according to the instructions, the installation of the root and TVRP. Everything is as it was written, even as in the description a window popped up with a green checkbox OK ... and that's it. After the overload, the screen is completely clogged in color bars. Died? ((

No, not dead. Just turn off the tablet by long pressing the Power button and flash the October firmware.

[ger1969]

Of course, I am wildly apologizing, but it may be worth removing the September firmware altogether! If she carries such troubles in herself!

Some, on the contrary, make the October ripples, and only September treats ...

October 1543 tablet is well suited
Most likely you have such a model

[emeralder]

By the way, did someone come through the air from a cube? Or after the firmware will not come if everything flew?

I wonder if there will be the 6th Android someday on this tablet ... I think it's vryatli))

[Groal]

Hello!
It seems that with your help I successfully solved the problems with the tablet ... BUT!
After flashing, SIM cards are no longer visible. Maybe it somehow has to do with the firmware, or as I was told in one place, they say it was impossible to put the microsim through the adapter, saying that something is breaking there. What could be the reason? No SIM cards .. and everything is here, in both slots ...))

[zeus]

Groal @ 12/07/2015, 20:28

it was impossible to put microsim through the adapter

This is nothing to do with. Restore the nvram from the backup and the problem will disappear.

[vitcheb]

Groal,
or restore it by clicking the link in the forum header in the "instructions" section

[pegasst]

I put a sim card in the other phone through the adapter .. in the end, the SIM card slot came up .. more gentle than the gentlemen ..

According to the instructions for the recovery of IMEI, it does not work, writes that you can not send the necessary command, all according to the instructions.
zeus
Probably the method you recommend works, but according to the instructions you need to slip a copy of the nvram from the backup, which I did not do. Can I download it somewhere?

[asd2003ru]

Everything will work out. It is necessary after the plus to put a space and imei in quotes "imi".
If you did not backup nvram, then you will not take it anywhere else. If imei at least somewhere saved, then you can sew in nvram but I did not succeed.

Well, you can add to the header:
Our device has one IMEI for both SIM cards. NVRAM is written at the factory and in the process of firmware updates this area is never touched.
There are rare cases when the manufacturer releases the firmware with overwriting this area, but rarely and more often it is service firmware. For us, this is not.
If you have saved IMEI (recorded on a piece of paper, it appeared in Google’s account, taken from another old device), then in principle you can restore it (make NVRAM).
We have SN on all devices (the serial number in NVRAM is probably the same), IMEI is the same on both sims, so basically you can try SN Writer
write this data to NVRAM.

Either prescribe IMEI through the engineering menu using AT commands, but this is before the first flashing / full reset.

[asd2003ru]

Oh ... I restored the NVRAM. I did everything on Win8.1x64.
Generally:
IMEI is restored via Maui META 3G (there is a link to the article in the header)
- Take the version v8.1512.0.
-Know on "In the window" Update Parameter "click the button" Load from file "and select the ini-file with calibrations." We don't have it anyway
-As a "Open NVRAM Database" opened BPLGUInfoCustomApp_MT6735_S00_MOLY_LR9_W1444_MD_LWTG_MP_V40_1_ltg_n (what is the difference except the size with lwg_n is not clear)
-On the continuation of the article about the MAC firmware for BT and WIFI - we score (Start "Choose the option“ AP NVRAM Editor ”.")

As I understood BT MAC, I stayed alive and I don’t see any reason to sew it (looked at Maui).
But WiFi was filled with zeros there, for that he sewed instructions from zeus (in the cap).

Yes, my model is still coming from Vladivostok from so cube, so I’m here as an active reader, not a doer. Let's just say while I'm getting ready.
I read a question, but if as I did on the Cube T9.

First we install Twrp to do a full backup on the memory card, then expand the memory for applications, and through Twrp we immediately restore our backup. Accordingly, have the poppy and the same with them in place, and the memory is expanded!
On the Cube T9, it turned out without problems!

This is exactly the way to flash it, only no one does backup))) Probably lazy ...
I put the modified recovery on all devices first - TWRP or CWM (depends on the device). I backup and only then do all kinds of firmware ...

In all instructions I am writing - make a backup, make a backup ... There is no problem anyway, people rub it, and then they create various problems for themselves ...

[doohs]

I also first installed TWRP made a backup.
Then he put the root.
But I don’t see any reason to expand the memory.
All I need to put and use ...
There is already someone who needs to expand the memory and have some problems in different cases ...
Or at least just to see how it works in this mode.

But all the same ... there are jams when scrolling through sites, a fsbuk ... about the market, I generally keep quiet ...
A bit lacking smoothness when paging ...

Well, it means that you do not just have to write in red, but with a font on the floor of the page, although disorderly people will probably still!

[Habeach]

I can accomplish my goal as an ordinary user who reads more and does not ask stupid questions. Firmware had to download two, and September and October, the device in 1543, asking October. Started in October zeus, successfully, but did not get a custom TV. The scooter on 6g took from the search on the forum and inserted in 4.10, there is no this scatter there. I flashed it, flew off to the nravm, recovered from the backup according to the instructions from the cap. Memory redistributed, and custom recovery did not arise. Again, I took the recovery from the forum, did not want to get up from the cap, threw out the scoop from the discussion on 6g, I didn’t take everything from the cap, and with the third attempt everything turned out. For an hour, two installations, there was no ripple of different software, 9 satellites on the first floor of a two-story building, one and a half meters from the window, there was fog in the street, 30 seconds. Wifi is better than my G4s, adjusting the brightness of the screen wider range. I gave a girl for 10 years of birth with a delay of exactly ten days

[zeus]

HaBeach @ 12/10/2015, 10:00 PM

Framed a 6g from the discussion, the usual one didn’t vsat from the cap, and on the third attempt everything worked out.

Good thing you did it. But you just need to be careful.
There is a link in the header:Firmware Cube_T8_Ultimate_10_20151004_Zeus - based on the October official
This link is a description and instructions. The firmware already has all the necessary scatters and twrp for this firmware ... Just download and install ...

Well, your instruction, TvRP and an extended scanner, I used. I did not find skaters in your October, but in September they were, namely, extended

MUST make a backup of your system and save IMEI.

About NVRAM backup in the header is infa. Teach you to do the right fulback and restore, preferably before the root.
Is it possible to partially restore it? What to roll to restore applications and settings? And if there is a root and xposed?
If you flip with another skter, is it possible to roll back the previous backup?
