Modding & rooting the QMedia Tablet PC Qpc617 firmware

This is a list of modded android images I have tested on the €99 tablet PC from QMedia, currently for sale in Carrefour Belgium ( and elsewhere ).

Note: I will update this list as I test more firmwares.

Note2: BE CAREFULL upgrading the tablet. You MAY brick it. I will take NO RESPONSIBILITY for your actions, when you damage or brick your tablet. I only provide this information as is.

I could not find the original firmware for the QPC617 from QMedia and I don’t know how to make a backup, so I took a leap of faith experimenting with this device.

WMT2.1.2_105_M3CSL_V1.0
This was the first firmware I tested. It works perfectly, but is not rooted. It has the market installed. Processor runs at 174 Mhz. Good performance.

WMT2.1.6_LF-X_V1.0B6
This firmware runs perfect. It is rooted too and has the market installed. Better performance.

PanImage_SGS_ACADEV_2.22.11_Full (link)
This firmware installs ok. HoneyComb (fake) interface. Performance is slow.
PanImage_SGS_ACADEV_2.22.11_Full_1

PanImage_SGS_ACADEV_2.22.11_Full_2

GS_WMT216_V5.0_ACADEV_BLACK_EDITION (link)
Installs fine. Nice interface. Rooted and Market. Performance is good.

LIST of NOT WORKING firmwares:
WMT2.50_RSX_TS_A_SPEC_V2

PS: None of the images/firmwares are overclocked. The two most popular overclock apps (OC Widget & SetCPU ) won’t work. Maybe in future versions.

Tips:
- When booting after a flash update, the animate boot-logo ( ANDROID ) may look like it is locked in a loop. Just be patient (maybe 2 , 3 minutes). All following boots will not suffer from this delay.

The comments plugin requires an application id to properly namespace the provided xid

I recently got stuck while integrating a comments section into a webpage. The social plugin always threw a “The comments plugin requires an application id to properly namespace the provided xid.” at me.
xiderror

There’s was no solution in Google, so I will post my solution here.

In my case I had called the script two times. Once in the header:

xiderror1

And then later in the sidebar (for a simple fan-box)

xiderror3

I don’t know what exactly caused the conflict. I believe the second call somehow erased my ap-id… Anyway, by removing …script src=”http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1… (red box) from the sidebar, both plugins worked fine.

Can’t turn on network discovery on windows 7

Symptoms: You can’t turn on network discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on Windows 7. When turned on, it reverts back to off ( it turns off ).

tond1

Reason: One of the reasons ( and the scope of this solution ) could be that the UPnP service is not running.
Solution: Start the service, here is how:
Go to the service manager. Click start and type services.mmc in the “Search programs and files”-box. Press enter. ( Ignore the ActiveX error / just click the ok button ) On the bottom of the window that you now see, click on the standard tab.

tond2

Make sure UPnP Device Host is started. If not start it by double clicking it.

tond3

In this “UPnP Device Host Properties” windows, make sure Startup type is set to Automatic, if it’s not, change it. Then click Start. Now click ok and close the Services windows.

Try again to Turn on network discovery.
