Want to make your tablet run better, faster and get the REAL ANDROID MARKET?

I have done many of these tablets and. I have enclosed my instructions below
and the link to the files from my website.

Follow these directions exactly:

Make sure your tablet is off.
Remove the SD Card.
Download the V9 Final ROM file to your PC from my site. Make sure you know
where to find it after it downloads:

I have uploaded the rom to my own website and it should
download very quick for you. Here is the link to the ROM from my site
http://creativeconceptcomputers.com//downloads/public/WM8650.7z

save it to your desktop and get winrar to unpack the zip file at
http://rarlab.com/rar/wrar41b4.exe

Insert the SD Card into the media reader on your desktop PC.
The SD Card will now show up as a drive letter on your PC's File Manager,
just like C:\ except with a different letter assigned.

Every computer will be different. Let's just say that on your PC it is G:\.
Right click the drive letter of the SD Card (G:\). A pop-up menu appears.
Select "format" and format the card to Fat32.
Now, using a program like winzip or winrar, extract the ROM file that you
downloaded to your PC earlier to a new folder on your desktop
.
After it has extracted, it will have these folders:
firmwareinstall
Changer_files
and these 3 files on it:
changer.bat
wmt_scriptcmd
Universal_Uberoid_WM8650_v9.1.2.txt

Using your PC mouse, double click the "changer.bat" file. A pop up screen
appears.
Type in RT3070 and hit "enter" (this enables WiFi support)

Select the option number that corresponds to your tablet and press enter.
( I found option 27 to work on most wundermedia wm8650 ) if that dont work
run it again and choose option 2 (if that dont work,keep trying differnt
options until you get the right one) if that one hangs on the option
you selected, you will just have to keep running the changer and selecting a
different option number until you get it right. Make sure that after it does
boot that the touchsreen does in fact work.

(Please, if you are trying multiple options, just remember to try options
only for the size tablet you have.
For instance, if you have a 7 inch tablet, try only options
1,2,7,8,9,11,12,13,16,20,21,23,25,26,27,28,29,30,31, and 32.

After you select your option number and hit enter, the changer.bat will ask
you if you want to install the ROM on your SD Card hit y (yes) and if you
want your SD Card formatted. Answer "NO" since you already formatted it
earlier, let the program finish running completly and it will tell you when
its done.
Now safely remove the SD Card from the PC media reader.

Insert the SD Card back into your tablet and turn it on.

it will show a progress bar on the botton, when it's done it will tell you
to remove the sd card , (don't remove card until it says to) when you do
the tablet will reboot
.
Select the wmtlauncher when it comes to options screen and set as the
default and thats all there is to it.

This should only take a few minutes to boot the first time. Make sure that
after the tablet is up and running , that you reformat the sd card in a
computer again before you put it back in your tablet for storage.

Main features:
* Live Wallpaper Support! ("butterfly" live wallpaper included!)
* HoneyComb styled launcher, framework and icons
* Extreme WM8650 compatibility (60 models +!)
* Customizable ROM, make it even more LITE for example (see CHANGER 'x' for
more info)
* 100% Rooted
* Audio Boosted
* Memory cleaning boosted
* Memory read/write boosted
* Lite version, stripped away many apps
* Tries to support as many languages as possible
* Real Android Market
* Real working YouTube
 
OK I have been trying to get my new WM8650 flashed mainly because well the market on it sucks and it was slow. I tried the suggestions you had about using number 27, which worked except the touch screen did not function. I tried a few others with no luck. However, using option 10 seemed to work just fine. Even had the Honeycomb startup animation. One quick thing to add, once you have your ROM flashed, Calibrate your screen. Otherwise you have hit a few issues trying to use it right away.

I need a bit more help. I had 2 Amazon (UK) secured tablets which I upgraded through the process above.
I tablet now is fine and dandy, the second freezes after a few minutes (no touch screen response)
Any ideas?

Please help.

Have you tried re-running the process - just in case you missed a step the first time? In the last few days I have run the process 5 or 6 times trying different things - it doesn't create any problems.

Hey, did all the stes and now on the very last step the tablet is frozen it woun't let me select the wmtlauncher...can anyone help?thanks,Joe

This suggests to me that you have selected the wrong option number.
I had the same problem when I tried #8
I re did the process using #27 and it was fine.

You need to get the right option for your tablet - the batch file does list the various tablets and the correct option but you may need to use trial and error.

Thank you NyRaised. Have been trying to do it all day following other people trying to be helpful, but there's always been a missing detail here and there. (Like Fat32, or option 27 which worked for me.) Brilliant! I have now just downloaded Omar Sharif Bridge from the Android market, which was all the stupid thing was bought for.
