Fake WoPad?

3929 Views 9 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  stinkydiver73
I purchased a "WoPad i7" a month or so ago. The box and everything included (other than the tablet) look the same whether it's a "real" WoPad or a "fake" WoPad. But the tablet doesn't have the logo on the back.

So far the tablet has worked great -- I haven't had any problems at all. But now I'm a bit nervous about doing any firmware upgrades.

Just to determine what differences there are would anyone who has a "real" WoPad with the logo be willing to take a picture of the inside? If anyone wants to the see the inside of mine I'd be willing to add a picture of that also.

That Wopad link describes my question exactly. I can't tell from their answer if they say it's not a real Wopad because of the different firmware or missing logo.

The firmware on mine is Android 2.3.1, Kernel version is 2.6.32.27, Build Number is rk29_gingerbread_v1.28 and the Firmware version is ([email protected])_([email protected])_V1.28.13_01_TL11

Can anyone with a "real" Wopad see if there firmware version matches? I guess I don't really care if mine is real or fake, I just need to know if it uses the same firmware.

Maybe I'll post this on the Wopad site also and see what they say.

Where did you buy it?
Mine original is:
[email protected])_([email protected])_V1.28.13_01_TL10
It's same as yours, but with US language. Yours have same inside(AR6302 SDIO wifi), mine fake have RTL8188 usb wifi.

I bought it from a place called euogo.com. Their service was great -- they shipped using DHL and I got it within about 6 days of ordering. The picture on their site shows logos on the back of the tablet but that's not what I got. Oh well.

That is interesting -- I was wondering what all of the numbers meant. Do you know if any of the numbers tell which digitizer or touch screen? If that's the same I think I should be OK with a firmware update.

In dmesg these seem to be the messages related to touchscreen:

<4>[ 3.070008] CAT6611: Reg[0-3] = 0x[00].[ca].[11].[16]
<6>[ 3.110006] cat6611 1-004d: cat6611 i2c probe ok
<7>[ 3.111849] Touchscreen driver of guitar is installing...
<6>[ 3.112300] input: Goodix TouchScreen of Guitar as /devices/virtual/input/input2
<1>[ 3.137013] goodix init panel
<6>[ 3.172878] Goodix_TS 2-0055: Guitar Version: GT801_1R06_2011031601_Goodix_Tech
<6>[ 3.707003] Goodix_TS 2-0055: Reques EIRQ 2 succesd on GPIO:2
<6>[ 3.709905] Goodix_TS 2-0055: Start Goodix TouchScreen of Guitar in Interrupt mode

So it looks like my fimware has the same GT801 driver (I messed up that part in my first post, it's not TG801). Maybe I'll get brave and try a firmware update.

Thanks for your help stinkydiver73

If you haven't got the original firmware files, it's recommended to make a backup of the original before trying to flash anything. cat/dd the backup mtd partition and you can unpack it with some rockchip tools. But there is no firmware update for us, there are just promises.

How is it possible to extract the firmware? I contacted my supplier (DealExtreme) and they couldn't get me the firmware.
In adb shell:

# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00004000 "misc"
mtd1: 00800000 00004000 "kernel"
mtd2: 00400000 00004000 "boot"
mtd3: 00800000 00004000 "recovery"
mtd4: 10000000 00004000 "system"
mtd5: 10400000 00004000 "backup"
mtd6: 07400000 00004000 "cache"
mtd7: 20000000 00004000 "userdata"
mtd8: 00400000 00004000 "kpanic"
mtd9: 84800000 00004000 "user"

you see the backup partition is mtd5 (on the real wopad i7), extract it to the sdcard:
#cat /dev/block/mtdblock5 >/mnt/storage/sdcard/fwbackup.img

or to pendrive:
#cat /dev/block/mtdblock5 >/mnt/udisk/fwbackup.img

if this file begin with "RKFW", the you can extract it with some tool

on linux, I did it with rkunpack: https://github.com/naobsd/rkutils

its worked on my logoless tablet, but on my real i7 i found nothing usefull on the backup partition.
