I have acquired a fairly new generic 7" tablet which is hung on the boot animation. It is running 4.1.1. I think I have id'd the tablet as the following:

Item Type: Tablet PC
Tablet Data Capacity: 4GB

Screen size:7"

CPUUAL CORE 1.2GHz ,ARM Cortex-A5,infotmic IMAP X15

GPUUAL CORE Mali-400 3D GPU,2D GPU

Memory Capacity:512M

built in flash:4GB

TF card:up to 32GB

TOUCH PANEL:Capacitive Screen

Processor Main Frequency: Dual Core
Operating System: Google Android 4.1
Feature: Camera,wifi
3G:built 3G USB-Dongle (WCDMA,EVDO)
battery:3.7V/2000mA

I do believe I need to reflash this tablet, but since I don't have a lot of experience with this chip, I thought it wise to ask before I proceeded. thank you kindly in advance for any/all insights.

Through reading the posts on this forum, I do know the flashing process, I just need some direction for firmware location . Any help would be greatly appreciated! joeg

If the picture represents your tablet, it does have an HDMI slot. Will the seller consider providing firmware?? I am still searching.

edit: Modest success. I found a rom that fits the precise specs listed in first post, except it is 8 inch. It is listed as a F81 at http:www.wintouch.ae -- key issue is that touch screen does not work. The flashing tool is 2.0.15 beta version . . . . again, the 8" firmware touch screen will not respond! This tablet flashes differently from the older infotmic single core. Hope this helps. Still searching!

this is my tablet

Yes. I saw this earlier. These tablets require the dual core A5 iMAP x15 firmware as I stated in the first post. Don't try to use a single core, resistive infotmic firmware. It just won't work. I was luck learning the new flashing tool that is provided with the 8" wintouch tablet, however, touch screen and g-sensor do not work. I continue to search. Hope this helps. Joeg

What is the great news??? The touch screen and g-sensor of the firmware I found does not work on my 7" tablet. I can offer you the flash tool as a download, but it is quite different from the older single core infotmic chips.

I find good news to know that there is a bit of information,
Your research work is excellent
I understand that much to achieve full functionality
I am in the expectation of progress
Of course I want to download the tool

Allow me to give you the website to download both the firmware and the flashtool *** caution ** the rom is the wrong one for my tablet. I have a 7" tablet and this is for an 8"

http://www.wintouch.ae then go to "downloads" and find F81 tablet. Both the firmware and the flashtool are there for downloading. joeg

Thanks. All of these tablets have the volume buttons as well as HDMI . . . mine has neither -- only a power button. Oh, update.... my tablet has quit working. No life at all. So, the rom I flashed it with might have bricked it . Now the search includes bringing the little tablet back to life. joeg

GPU: Mali 400, quad core

If it is truly like mine, with no physical buttons except power, why/how could you boot into recovery mode -- not fastboot, which is for phones. How would you navigate through each option?? Now, most apps will read the software loaded and not the hardware, but you could try downloading Antutu benchmark app and it should give you some idea. Hope this helps. joeg

Thanks, Joe G.
I have in mind Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, ( ClockworkMod recovery) which features full touch control.
Antutu benchmark : CPU Model

ual-core ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3,NEON).
Seems this processor is build in many chinese clones.
I will keep investigate.

Thanks for your insights and help to others. My tablet will no longer boot, which is needed to install either CMW or TWRP. Additionally, if there are no physical buttons on the tablet, I can not see how any recovery tool will help. joeg

Her is Romdump from my device:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xs7gv4hffyu60qg/J5NebQ9KGu.
Maybe someone could make a update zip from this. I am not an expert on cooking roms, but Ithink it is possible to boot your device from sd card with propper soft.

Thats interesting but I download TWRP manually, put it on my SD card, and then tried to flash it with recovery tools and then tried to reboot into TWRP recovery. It was still the factory recovery screen. Guess I'll have to try CWM. Any other help is greatly appreciated. This was done on my imapx15 Infotmic ZX-X15 Cortex-A5.

Looks like nobody has responded to this yet. I found the infotmic tool that I think the Infotmic company uses. Google iuw or Infotmic upgrade utility or Infotmic upgrade tool. Hope you find it like I did.
