Is anyone else having issues with keyboards after applying one of these stripped down firmwares on the Enjoy 7. I seem to be able to get the adaptxt keyboard only and none of my attempts to change it will stick.

Proxy Settings

Firstly I would like to thank you for finding a way to root the device. I know this may not matter now but there is now officailly a USB driver located:
h ttp://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#?div=Driver.

May I just ask off topic. Can anyone help on how I could go about putting in proxy settings for this device. When I am at work I need to access the internet however cannot find proxy settings anywhere? I have rooted the tablet and tried using several proxy apps from the app store? I am thinking it is not working because of the cramfs?

1. Download MSI firmware here http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7_download.html
2. Download wendal's tool here http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/19808-rk29xx-imagetools-v21/
3. Unzip the tool into a folder
4. copy the MSI image file into this folder,and rename to wendal.img
5. double click Runme.bat ,and follow the guide (1 unpack)
6. Wait as the the toll unpacks the firmware, the tool will also root it.
7. After unpack, go to system folder created and go to apps, you can remove the apps you want, but be careful of system apps
8. Double click runme.bat again, this time choosing 2. pack
9. Wait as the tool creates the new image, be wary of any error messages
10. Copy update_new.img to your MSI drive.
11. Turn off USB and update firmware.

I've updated aedwards3 rom. But it isn't fool rooted, because /system partitionis still locked.

slatedroid.com/topic/22162-writable-system-for-rk29xxt760p71-et/
To make a fool root it's necessary to edit boot.img.

unpack your boot.img ,open init.rc found
mount cramfs mtd@system /system ro
change to
mount ext3 mtd@system /system wait rw

But i still can't still unpack it cause source code is needed to run unpacking perl script correctly.

    Hey all. Here is a rooted stock ROM (firmware) with bloatware (extraneous apps) removed for the MSI Windpad Enjoy 7" and 10".

    MSI Windpad Enjoy 7"
    mediafire.com/?5bvurbrqtxn8qny

    MSI Windpad Enjoy 10"
    mediafire.com/?wrem1b1511aki36

    HOWTO Install:

    1. Download the correct file for your Windpad
    2. Rename the file to update.img
    3. Connect your Windpad to your computer
    4. Enable USB storage mode
    5. Copy the update.img to your Windpad's storage
    6. Eject your windpad from the computer, then turn off USB storage
    7. A popup will appear asking if you wish to install the update. Click Install.
    8. Sit back, relax and wait for your ROM to finish installing.
    9. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE DEVICE OR REMOVE POWER/USB WHILST THE UPDATE IS INSTALLING. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN A BRICK.

    Please note: although I have tested the 10" version I have not tested the 7" version although the process to create the ROM was exactly the same as the 10". I am also in no way responsible if you stuff up the install and brick your device.

    Removed Apps:

    Adaptxt(d)(e)_f_And(2.3)_pro_dutnl_MSI_v1_4.apk
    Adaptxt(d)(e)_f_And(2.3)_pro_enggb_MSI_1_4.apk

    As requested ROM image + instructions + removed APK's for Enjoy7

    Hi Guys,

    I've built a cleaned ROM image based off the 0224 MSI image and uploaded it for those of you who requested it. (Got the firmware version number wrong in my original post)

    Once again special thanks to everyone else in this thread who's hard work made this possible.

    Just a quick warning this is for the MSI Windpad Enjoy 7", I don't own a 10" so I have no idea if the steps are the same (I assume they are). This is my first rooting of a device and first ROM image and 2nd post on XDA-Developers so please be careful with my instructions I may have gotten something a little wrong.

    Instructions are as follows:

    You'll need the following:
    • Windows PC (I'm using a machine running Vista)
    • Some flavour of Linux (Ubuntu in my case but other *nix's should work).
    • The 0224 image from MSI for your tablet.
    • Wendal's tools
    • Some patience, some linux knowledge and an hour or two.

    Unzip all your tools into a folder, copy the update.img file from the 0224 image and place it in the folder with the Wendal tools and rename it to wendal.img and run the RunMe.bat (Same as rooting the original firmware). Select option 1 - Unpack and let it unpack everything.

    You'll see that it gives a few errors about not being able to run cramfsck against the file and then not being able to copy the su and SuperUser.apk files across or being able to chmod it. This is because unlike the previous firmware, the new system.img is an ext2 file system. (Previous one was cramfs) In theory we could modify Wendal's tools to work with the ext2 filesystem if we can find something that will mount it under Windows. It was easier though for me to just use my linux machine.

    Once that's done copy the system.img file over to your linux machine along with su and SuperUser.apk from Wendal's tools.

    Now you'll need to do the following from a Linux command prompt as root (sudo).

    mount -o loop system.img /media/system​

    *The above command mounts the system.img file to /media/system (make sure this folder exists)

    Next run the following commands as root, these are taken from Wendal's code (rk29xx_rom_tools.lua):

    cp su /media/system/bin/
    cp Superuser.apk /media/system/app/
    chmod -R 0777 /media/system/*
    chmod 6755 /media/system/bin/su
    chmod 6755 /media/system/app/Superuser.apk​

    *The above commands assume you're in the folder that you placed the su & Superuser.apk files and that you mounted system.img to /media/system

    Once you've done that remove whatever APK's you want from the /media/system/app/ folder.

    Next unmount the system.img filesystem by using the following command as root:

    unmount /media/system​

    Wait for it to finish and transfer your system.img back to your windows machine. Overwrite the one that Wendal's tool unpacked from the image and then select option 2-Pack from Wendal's tool.

    Wait for Wendal's tool to complete and copy & rename wendal_new.img to update.img

    Follow Spyral-RSA's instructions here (Post 71 of this thread) and then upgrade your tablet.

    Sorry about the long instructions, hope it all makes sense.

    I'm uploading a rom image including the remove APK's built using the above steps and will edit this post with a link as soon as its done.
