Do you own a SuperPad III?

After accidentally hit the unroot button on the Z4root, my superpad3 was booted up with problem. it hangs every time I press the home button. After doing the reflash, now everything works fine, but noticed that the camera is not working now, no image shown on the screen, just lines of color jumping up and down. Hope that some guru here can help me out. FYI: the camera works fine previously.

Thanks, but my files are read-only. I guess I need a procedure to "root" (is this the proper term?) my device.
Or can I just modify the file in a downloaded firmware and flash it on my device? Or have these firmwares a checksum?


Yes to edit it you would need to be rooted. Google Uberoid or Modroid for great custom firmware.

Looking at your file bgprotection and the losttime are the two for sure to change. The correct your region if you are in the US

I tried several values with no luck.
Which ones should I use for italy?
And which ones for bgprotection and losttime?

But I don't understand: why should I specify the SSID? Can I connect only to ONE wifi network?!?
I think this file should be actually edited by the wifi configurator... but it does not! Which file are wifi settings stored in when I use the wifi configurator on an android device?!?

go to system/etc/wireless/rt2870sta and edit the rt2780sta.dat and change the following settings to match: (the first settings are assuming you are in the US, you can google settings for your region if not)

ALWAYS MAKE A COPY OF A FILE BEFORE EDITING

When you are don reboot and turn on WiFi

Prob is we can't offer advice as new tabs are appearing all with the same FW date, but they are different, hopefully the FW gurus can sort out the kernal issues and get a useful custom rom working.

At your own risk, you could try the custom FWs, you could ask your supplier if they work or not and see what guarantee they offer, and see if you can get a factory rom to revert back to if it all goes tits up. Try both custom FWs out, tim5a and FlanFlinger, you may get lucky.

Try the youtube app rather than browser. BBC iPlayer is an ongoing issue.

I have found that if you run Dolphin Browser and put YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. in the address bar you can play youtube vids perfectly. Also better still you can set up a gesture of a Y shape so every time you run the browser you can gesture and be took straight to youtube. Hope this helps someone, Click the blue text to see link in your address bar as not showing it on here.

Has anyone come across a similar problem with the camera and if so please help! When i run the camera it says "Please insert an SD Card before using the camera" even though i have one inserted. I have tried diffrent cards and same message apears also the Gallery won't display any pics. It did work intermitently but has now given up the ghost.

Model number disco10
Andriod ver 2.2-20110803

Also does anyone have a copy of the above/mine firmware so i can try tims v5 ect and revert if need be.

Cheers.

What the hell do I have?

Model number: DK1031
Android version: 2.2 V2.6#4416
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root@hibernate-desktop #60
Build number: FRF85B

It came in a Superpad 3 box with 9V charger, GPS antenna and headphones.

I haven't noticed anyone else with that model number.

The camera doesn't work and I'm having trouble updating the firmware to Tim 5a - nothing happens after putting 2 files on SD card and booting up.
