Alldocube iPlay 40 review: an all-around tablet with some minor compromises

[davovapo]

For gapps to work, you need to change the data that is in the build.prop file in the vendor

https://xdaforums.com/t/alldocube-i...-some-minor-compromises.4212541/post-85974737

I used 7zip to extract the img file, added the lines on those 3 build.prop files and used ImgBurn to make and .img again and after flashing and reboot it goes to fastboot. I stayed basically all Saturday dealing with the tablet for now I give up. I'll try to research this further at later points.

Hi guys, today I screwed up, I had a lineageos rom on my iplay40 with magisk and I made the mistake to update from magisk23 to magisk24.1 through the app which brought me to not be able to boot the device again and stays like the pic attached.

I can't go to recovery or fastbood mode either so I don't really know how to move forward, pressing power+up or down just resets the tablet. I have the program called ResearchDownload and the .pac file with the firmware but I think I'd need to enter fastboot to flash the firmware again. Do you think it could be saved?

I just did the exact same thing, care to elaborate if/how you fixed it?, thanks in advance

Edit:

I managed to fix it by flashing the boot.img via ResearchDownload as suggested by @Wajs

Be sure to flash the boot.img of the twrp installer, if you use the default image from the stock .pac you'll loose twrp access, learnt that the hard way lol

The Android 12L(now renamed 12.1) released! I have flashed, it is optimized for tablet. Very nice! Download v410 and flash to enjoy it!

Did anyone manage to put TWRP recovery on Alldocube iPlay 40 H/Pro? "Bootloader UNLOCKED"

 

[Gordolfo]

I was successful thanks to previous comments, these were the steps and files:
-Extract files in a folder
-Go inside the "adb-fastboot" folder, in the address bar write "cmd" and hit enter to open a terminal
-Run

adb shell getprop ro.serialno

-Copy and Install SpreadTrumTools.apk in your tablet
-Open the app, allow permissions and input the serial you just obtained

-Tap Generate
-Copy the file "signature.bin" inside the adb-fastboot folder in your computer
-In the terminal run

adb reboot bootloader

-Wait for the tablet to boot into fastboot, if for any reason boots into fastbootd, navigate to reboot to fastboot
-In the terminal run

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

-Run

fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin

-Follow instructions in your tablet (press volume down)
-If everything is successful you should see something like this

Hope it works for you

Thank you, I was finally able to root my alldocube iplay 40.

Dude, any instructions or at least which files to download? Cheers

EDIT: ALSO, how is the battery life after time for ROM to settle, in comparsion to stock. That's my biggest concern. Cheers

Hey guys - quick question -
Trying to unlock the bootloader, and have tried the two fastboot links that were linked earlier, and no matter what I get the:

fastboot: usage: unknown 'flashing' command unlock

message. (Tried 'unlock', 'unlock-bootloader', and 'unlock_critical', all give the same error.)
I got the signature file, generated (a couple different ways, actually, tried in case one way wa bad), but still no go.

Thoughts?

 

[albe90262]

I have already unlocked my bootloader now how do i flash the .img file in TWRP - iPlay40(T1020S) to my iPLay40 Pro??? Please provide details steps....

 

[kkcheong]

Were you able to unlock your tablet?

Will unlock and root works with iPlay 40H with Android 11? thanks

 

[reg66]

Will unlock and root works with iPlay 40H with Android 11? thanks

I might be wrong, hopefully someone else can confirm, but I think I recall all of this thread only applies to the non H version. Not possible on yours I don't think. Unless there's another thread been opened for your device...

Ok thanks. But I thought Unlock and root is still possible. Haha.

Bootloader unlock is universal, works on h and pro. Rooting is possible, but I no longer do kernel mods and vbmeta signatures.

 

[Neuromancer]

Isn't H the same as non-H, except for the higher version of Android? And "Pro" is the same as H, except for more RAM and storage.

Thanks. Maybe I can try it. Any tutorial?

Isn't H the same as non-H, except for the higher version of Android? And "Pro" is the same as H, except for more RAM and storage.

I need to correct that:
1. H - Android 11
2. Non H - android 10
3. Pro - 256gb

All RAM is 8gb.

I have tried the iplay40 utility from @AllexBast and most of it seems to work, but when fastbootd is opened it gets stuck on "waiting for any device" that might be a driver issue but where could I find the fastbootd drivers ? everything else works, adb fastboot (bootloader) etc, just not fastbootd
I own a standard iplay40 (T1020S)

ps : I checked, I did install at least all the drivers required for the stock flashing tool and i installed these https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

Almost like in this video, but the name of the unknown device will be different.

Almost like in this video, but the name of the unknown device will be different.

I actually did follow this video, and there is a "Unisoc Phone" unknown device here, however, when I try to install the fastbootd driver in the same way as the video, it just results in "windows did not find drivers for your device" when i select the directory of the fastbootd drivers
this is the identifier of the driver that's missing
USB\VID_1782&PID_4EE0&REV_0414
