* Optom,
The line is new, the questions are old.
Is that autonomy really improved.
And we were specifically thrown with the line C67. Type all should now buy new readers, or what?
Creative approach.

The manual says, after the firmware do reset personal data, but it is not said to put a daw or not, in this section, next to the item "erase personal data."
That is, you can go to the personal data section and click reset, but there is an item with the same name.
So I set the checkbox and the pre-installed books were removed (God bless them, I made copies and put them back in place), but now there is no dictionary, but I did not give him a copy.
Can you write in more detail what is deleted without a tick and what is deleted if you put it?
And how to return the dictionary and what else could be removed?



Rep: (215)
* dik-fear, write to tech support - describe the situation. I am sure that they will send standard pre-installed dictionaries.

An interesting observation, by the way. Previously, when resetting from the reader interface, the script copied at least the books folder, exactly. It was possible to wipe EVERYTHING only with a wipe from recovery.

Here, it turns out, when deleting user files, all files from the user section are overwritten (the books, dictionary, download, fonts, images folders, etc.)

I did not backup and I do not remember which dictionaries were there. I think that the same as in past Darwin. Somewhere in the last topic laid out.

* dik-fear, And in the list of applications, there was no application for tests in Chinese?

I came in support of VC, asked a question until they answered, but after reading the comments I saw that it is forbidden to put a tick, and if you need to remove it, it deletes the book and probably everything else is user-defined, I understand the main purpose of resetting without a daw is settings.
Optom @ 03/05/19, 11:39*
Does the application for testing in Chinese appear in the list of applications?

I did not see the applications in the menu, maybe I should look at the processes.

and if it is necessary to remove it, it deletes the book and probably everything else is user,

When checked, all data from the user area is deleted, including dictionaries and pre-installed books.

I went to support VC, asked a question until they answered

For operational assistance, it is better to contact directlytechnical support. The group on Vkontakte does not support. Technical questions are sent to a specialist, then they are published - it is always longer.
Dictionaries can be downloadedfrom here.

From the external card, the data is deleted, if you put a daw?



Rep: (140)
If the card is not unmounted, a separate line for it will be visible.



Rep: (215)
To display the hidden indicator-switch of the button operation mode, a slight modification of the launcher resources (system application) is required. Most likely, the "audio_enable" flag in the json file is a model profile. Replacing the entire profile file works.

For Vasco Da Gama 3 there will be firmware updates? 7



Rep: (215)
* DJ Disk, IMHO model is successful, and we can expect that the updates will be, but the period of support will not be very long, since the model is not from the main manufacturer. Darwin 6 and, probably, Monte Cristo 4 update easier, as they are closer to the usual Poke



Rep: (0)
Optom, Model successful, definitely)

There is not even a hint of this model on the Chinese manufacturer’s website.

Checked at leisure:
1. Route:
The old rootmaster in offline mode did not work.
But I confirm that it worksKingroot, but only from the second time and only in connection with your server
Instructions for removing KingRoot and switching to SuperSu also worked:В®Super-Sume (Post alibek-ru # 75677900)

2. Google services
For luck, I tried easy ways to install gapps:
- opengappsnot expected to be installed
- the installer of gapps from Meizu does not download, from Xiaomi - downloads, tries to install, but gapps do not start

3. Boot animation
Replacing butanimation works, you only need to remember when replacing the rights:Bootanimation (Post Darkei # 4514634)

Reached a hand to remove the dump from the reader. I haven't tried many things, but rkDumper never managed to get me to merge everything, but the bundle rkandroidtool + rkdumpslicer worked.
In short:
1. Drivers from the DriverAssistant 4.5 kit -Attached fileDriverAssitant_v4.5.zip(9.32 MB)

deleted previous ones, put new ones with reboot
2. rkAndroidTool version 2.3 -Attached fileRKAndroidTool23.zip(634.5 KB)

Dump the "old" instructions:Firmware devices on the platform Rockchip 3066 (rk3066) (Post RedScorpio # 31555400)
- run, connect the reader, wait for the Found One MSC (or ADB) Device label, click Switch so that the inscription becomes the Found One Loader Device - step 1-5
(or turn off the reader, hold down the central Back button and connect it to the PC - it will also enter the bootloader mode: the picture of the device is turned off on the screen, the blue diode in the button is lit)
- go to the Advanced tab (empirically find out that the firmware of 4358144 blocks - paragraph 6-9 of the installation), put 0 in Start, in Count - 4358144 - paragraph 10 of the instruction
3. Cut the dump into sections in rkDumpSlicer -Attached filerkDumpSlicer_097.zip(16.09 KB)

- continuing to act onold "instructions"- p.12 instructions
- you may need to run as administrator, then it is easier with a batch file:
% ~ dp0rkDumpSlicer.exe% ~ dp0ExportImage.img
pause

- in the process of dumping, the utility will issue a warning that the beginning of the "radical_update" section does not coincide with the end of the "metadata" section (the reasons discussed above are:ONYX BOOX C68 - Firmware [Android] (Post FOV5 # 80228167) )

As a result, in the ExportImage.img.dump folder we get the config (16) and partition images for uploading back to the reader in case of disaster recovery.
We do not have the original loader only - therefore, we do not set this checkbox when restoring.
Instructions former:
[TOOL] rkDumperor here:Onyx Boox C67ML - Firmware (Post cergor # 64430500)

I checked: I poured into the reader back without incident.

As an experiment, I installed Google services. Gapps took from here:Google Play - Technical Issues, for speed "stitched" withВ® Flash Gordon
The market did not get up, Google services stop when overloaded - you have to manually start. But it came out to check the liters: protected books are downloaded, it is possible to read in theory, but in fact the PDP reader even the newer version of the Liters application is extremely inconvenient (version 3.17 -Read books online (Post Optom # 83542885) )
