Reinstall MP827

As said in my previous post, Android 4 on MID8127 is not ready for prime time. But going back to Android 2.3 wasn't as easy as I expected:

  • Install RecoveryTool.apk package
  • Copy update.zip (Clockwork Mod) to your "internal SD card" (might be /sdcard/tflash)
  • Open Recovery Tool app, and then choose update.zip, it will install Clockwork Mod
  • Now the tricky part is to reboot the tablet in recovery mode. To do so:
    • Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in the Android options
    • Connect it to the PC
    • Go to the folder where adb is installed (from Android SDK or various rooting tools like SuperOneClick -- which btw didn't work)
    • Run "adb reboot recovery"
  • Now in Clockwork Mode it's possible to:
    • Backup the current system to the SD card
    • Restore another image such as Kiiv_GB_V0.3
  • Last but not least, I missed the PlayStore
    • Can be downloaded from here
