How to install rockchip device drivers under Windows 8.1? I to do the following after installing Rockchip USB driver. In addition to installing the driver. I followed the instructions to the letter but flashtool always shows 'No Found RKAndroid rock usb'. Reinstalling the drivers, different USB ports. Upgrade Guide can help you to reflash your device based on RK3066. All RK SoC supports the same applications and drivers for Host. USB OTG Cable.
I also wouldn't hurt to connect the charger to make sure you don't run out of battery power along the way. Sorry for the inconvenience. I somehow got it wrong.

Worked like a charm, once you've gotten the download mode figured out You just made a slight mistake (Which I noticed from the beginning). You have to press (and hold down) VOL -, hit the reset button, release the reset button and keep holding onto the VOL DWN button for a moment, or two Other than that; great work! If you need some help with compiling a custom ROM, I know my way around Android pretty good (XDA Senior Member: familyguy59) send me a message over @ XDA, and I'll get back to you ASAP! If you don't need my help, keep this thread updated and maybe post it on XDA aswell. We need more threads like this, for these rare devices.
Sorry for the very late reply. @Argramonis Simply download either the customized version or the untouched Stock ROM version (take the 'RKAndroidTool' one) from my MediaFire link above. The flash procedure no longer relies on RKBatchTool but on the much easier to use RKAndroidTool. I updated the modified ROM version on 12/12/12 the last time, and apart from the one or another update for the system apps I also added a few new things like the swipe keyboard from Jelly Bean 4.2 and Emoji keyboard (which is a Japanese IME). The Emoji keyboard doesn't fully work, as I found out later on I forgot to include a few libs to make it fully work (to come in a new update).
Simply check the text file - the changes and flash procedure are documented in there. Now, to recover from a 'total brick' (RK2918 devices cannot be totally bricked) do this: - Download and unpack the Firmware (customized one or Stock - your decision) - Start RKAndroidTool - Check 'Loader' (and do NOT change anything else!) - Connect the charger to the tablet - Connect the USB cable to the tablet (NOT to the computer yet!) - Push the VOL- button and KEEP it pressed - Push the Reset button - Connect the USB cable to your computer Now, if Windows is trying to install the flash driver (you can release the VOL- button now) point it to the provided Rockchip USB drivers. Once the driver is installed. RKAndroidTool will now say 'Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb' (yes, lousy translation from Chinese). Click 'EraseIDB' to repartition the eMMC - Click 'Run' and let it do it's thing When the flash procedure has ended the tablet will automatically reboot - you can disconnect the USB cable - and enter the recovery to format the internal eMMC partitions. @Beatsleigher Didn't get very far with CM10/10.1. The device tree I borrowed from 'vurrut' (@XDA) makes it possible to build, but several things simply don't really work as we don't have the sources of the drivers (GPU) nor the kernel sources.

Also, posting this Stock Mod to XDA is pointless. Oma7144 is already offering a bag of Custom ROMs for RK2918 devices at XDA (and a whole lot of other Android sites). Ranging from CM9/10 to, obviously, AOSP 4.0/4.1 based builds. He even seems to work on a CM10.1 port, but as I worked out a whole lot of things don't work.
If you're still interested in trying to mess with a CM port for the RK2918 devices let me know. Sorry for the very late reply. @Argramonis Simply download either the customized version or the untouched Stock ROM version (take the 'RKAndroidTool' one) from my MediaFire link above.

Click to expand.I'm always trying to get into things I decompiled the kernel as far as I could. I'm just stuck with the zImage.

I also tried flashing this CM10 port, of CyanoMod, and then flashed the stock kernel - No luck:/ It worked, except for the external SD card slot. If you anything on that, let me know. But if you need help, I'll help where and when I can. But to be honest, I decided to give this back to my mum (I got the damn thing for Christmas) and I'm gonna get the Nexus 10, like I wanted. But I guess this would still be useful for people with this device.

I also wouldn't hurt to connect the charger to make sure you don't run out of battery power along the way. OK, HI eveybody, I just bought a RC0710B, too.
But i tried the whole evening to get root access - without success. I don't know where to start. OSes: Linux Mint 13 32bit, Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit, Windows XP Pro 32bit. Rooting only: Neither Linux nor Windows found the tablet via ADB. Doesn't seem to exist. No device connected.
Flashing: Win7 starts its own driver install routine, installs a bunch, but not for some device like Q3M752B or something like that. Yet the available driver I downloaded via the link in the first post isn't suitable, won't be installed and used. WinXP has the same result. When I try to connect in recovery mode the tablet isn't recognized at all! No USB-Connected-Sound under either Windows! Guys, I'm frustrated to the point of throwing that thing against a wall or out of the window. It's not my first Android device at all, had 3 phones and another tablet b4, but they all went smooth compared to this piece of junk.
If you have no further ideas, the tablet will be returned within the next week - but only if I managed to keep my calm and not throw things against walls. (not seroius, only frustrated, sorry.) Greetings, Martin. Click to expand.You know, the Rockchip USB Drivers are included in the ROM 7zip's and are actually working on Windows 7 x64 Edition as well as an Windows 7 32-Bit as I use them for RKAndroid Tool flashing every now and then. Flashing instructions are included in the 'Changelog.txt' that for download (and also contained inside the 7zip).
You connect the charger to the tablet You connect the USB cable to JUST the tablet (NOT the computer yet) You TURN OFF the tablet (long press the power button in Android and select 'Shutdown') You start the RKAndroid Tool (in the RKAndroid folder) You PRESS AND HOLD the VOL- Button while you press the Reset button with a push-pin or needle Screen stays black - no sound or anything (if the screen comes on with the 3Q logo - try again) You plug the USB connector into the computer and (given the driver is installed) RKAndroid tool will not say that the RKAndroid Rock Usb Loader has been found. Follow further instructions as written down in the text file. Click to expand.Open your USER folder in Explorer. (C: Users yourusername) Create a.android folder Get into the.android folder Create a new text file and call it adbusb.ini Open the file for editing Put '0x2207' (JUST this one line - WITHOUT the quotes!) into the file and save Connect the tablet with USB Debugging enabled 'adb devices' (Command Prompt needs to run as ADMINISTRATOR!) should now show you the device The 'workaround' with the adbusb.ini is not the fault of the rooting toolkit, it's adb that doesn't know of Rockchip devices by default. WOW, thank you!
That was amazingly fast! Going to try right away. I followed the given instructions in the.7z- files, and it's also been these included drivers that didn't work! Rooting worked. Now just one more question: The original Update provided on the vendor's HP, can I install it by unpacking it to the ext.
SD, and it will then install automatically? I still won't get Windows to recognize the device.
I'll have to do a reinstall of Win7 soon, so maybe that'll solve the issue. Ok, just ran into another issue: One of my fav. Games 'Townsmen' runs with graphical errors (animated objects in the game have white background). Any1 had something similar, and a solution would be even nicer. Thanks a bunch, Martin.
Click to expand.This is a known problem on this tablet (and its countless 'RK2918' clones). The Vivante GC800 drivers don't really support all possible hardware acceleration functions of Ice Cream Sandwich / Jelly Bean. Several games either give graphical errors OR even crash (i.e. Angry Birds). Same for Google Earth. V7.0.0 was the last version to work on the RC0710B, newer versions will happily crash on startup with a rather nasty EGL (OpenGL) error. EDIT: As a bit of a more in-depth explanation: The RK2918 devices have actually been designed as Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' was the hot thing in town.
While the devices were updated to run Android 4.0 'Ice Cream Sandwich' the GPU drivers didn't get a 'fully ICS compatible' refresh. They work to some extend, but, unfortunately, cause the one or another problem when it comes down to games or other apps that make use of specific functions. The problem with the GPU drivers can't be solved as Yifang (the manufacturer of the tablet) as well as 3Q refuse to make the source code for Android available (they are violating the GPL on a massive scale as they are not even publishing the kernel sources).
In short: There's nothing that can be done to resolve the problem. Click to expand.Charging the tablet via the µUSB port is NOT possible! This is NOT a 'serious issue' but 'intentional by design'. Before you now ask about the 'Why?' Here's yet another explanation about how things relate to this.
If you take the charger and turn it around you will notice that it shows an output of +5V at a max. Of 2000mA (=2 Ampere). Now, the USB port on a computer does ONLY support devices taking no more power than 500mA (=0.5 Ampere) PER USB-plug.
Since the tablet needs 'a wee bit' more juice to actually charge the battery it is therefore totally impossible to charge the tablet from the computer through the µUSB port. If you want to spare you the extra charger, there are two 'home brew' ways you can consider (that's what I actually did as I have two devices that need to be charged through their own external charger).
Option 1: Get a USB charger station. This means the charger stations having 2-4 normal sized USB jacks to charge devices. Seeing you're from Germany. Simply order yourself the connector you insert into the tablet from Conrad or Reichelt along with a 2-wire cable and a USB plug (or simply crash by the store to get the parts). The idea is to create a charger cable that has a USB connector rather than the charger on the one end and the plug that goes into the tablet on the other end.
That way you can charge the tablet from a charger station - though be WARNED to NEVER plug this cable into a computer or laptop! You may overload the USB port and cause irreparable damage to the motherboard!!! Option 2: Tap into a +5V line in the computer and make yourself a connection port.
The red wires of the power supply inside your computer are +5V and the black ones are GND (Ground). Like above get yourself the power jack the goes into the tablet, some 2-wire cable and a Molex power plug (so you can connect the cable to one of the plug usually powering CD/DVD or old PATA drives). That way you can use your computer to charge the tablet when it is turned on without the fear of overloading anything.
The power supply should be able to spare the 2 Amp for charging the tablet. The only thing you HAVE to keep in mind is that you MUST NEVER short the power line and also prevent it from touching the metal casing of the computer.
IF you short the line (i.e. You spill water/soda/.
Over the connector or you short it past the computer case) the power supply will power off (lousy engineered power supplies may even take a damage). Simply use your imagination and MacGyver-ism to create yourself a worthwhile solution. What I did was to create my own 'charging station' by using a old 'AT board' power supply (you know, the power supply that powered the old motherboards with the large 5-pin keyboard connector).
I got myself a bunch of USB extension cords, clipped off the connector that usually goes into the computer, desoldered the whole cables from the printed board of the power supply, soldered the +5V and GND wires of the extension cords in and modified the power switch to be inside the power supply casing. I have 10 USB ports coming out of the power supply to charge USB devices with (though it doesn't work with devices that are 'locked in' to their own USB charger due to the charger having a chip inside of it to 'tell' the device it is connected to its genuine charger).
Thanks again, as I wrote before, I already read a bit into this issue (imho still a clear desig fail, since there are already other USB solutions out providing up to 2A via the standard USB ports of various sizes, but never mind.) What troubles me most is that I can't simply use one of my phone chargers (1,5A output) or my car charger (2A output), just because this tab uses the small round (2mm? Gonna measure!) plug to draw its power from. Anyway you confirmed that it's simply not possible by design (and therefore no malfunction), and as you wrote I'm going to use my 'imagination and MacGyver-ism' (I love this!), but just in this way as to make (or maybe even buy) two cables offering an USB A plug on the one side and the small round plug needed for the tablet on the other. Should do the thing, not only on a charger station, plus is the simplest way I can think of.
Option 2 is no longer possible for me: There are only laptops left around me, I seriously doubt to find one of those PSUs in one of my hardware boxes I'm still storing for nobody knows why.

Oma7144 said You can create your own update.img to be flashed with RKBatchTool: Don't forget to copy over your kernel first. Oma - You're perfect. I love you man thank you. Everything is perfect but I have one problem wifi is not working. I installed your 'RK30Genio by OmaCM10.1v1.3.5' version with my tablet's original kernel. My tablet has zm973l motherboard.
'CrewRKTabletsCM10.1v1.3.5model fixZM973' install with CWM but it doesn't fix wifi. How can i fix it? This is my tablet's original rom's boot,kernel,misc,recovery,system img files.
Oma7144 said Download again and try: - Oma - Redownload file,before this post fix and kernel but wifi doesn't work again. This is my install order: 1. Install original rom with rkbatchtool than wifi work without problem 2. 'CrewRKTabletsRK30Genio by OmaCM10.1v1.4' Extract to desktop 3.
Overwrite kernel (before this post) 'C: Users can Desktop CrewRKTabletsRK30Genio by OmaCM10.1v1.4 Image' 4. Run 'mkupdate.bat' for update.img file (rkandroidtool doesn't work for me, i can use only rkbatchtool and AndroidTool v2.3) 5. Install new update.img with rkbatchtool or AndroidTool v2.3 (try both of them) 6.

Seems the kernel module crashes against the kernel. The stock firmware linked above runs flawlessly on your tab?
Can you pls doubleckeck if the right kernel is in the rockdev/Image folder and the zip has been installed properly? Did you flash the right update.img? If it still not works then you need to re-flash the stock firmware and provide a dmesg and logcat log from the running wifi.
