I was able to get the android 12 version of LineageOS to work on the table.
But before that I tried to install the android 13 version and I could not get internet to work, despite being able to turn on Wifi and connect to my home router. I also tried with the android 13 version of crDroid, same problem.
Any idea why android 12 works but not the 13? Does it need new drivers or something else?
Android 13 introduces changes to the underlying system (kernel) compared to Android 12. Itās possible that the LineageOS 13 or crDroid 13 builds you tried arenāt using a kernel fully compatible with your deviceās Wi-Fi hardware. This could lead to driver issues and connection problems.
@andrelima As far as our tablets we did not create any update as this product is discontinued. But maybe its possible @manonegra222 could offer another opinion?
Unfortunately it is not normal for an Android product assembled by Chuwi to accept system software updates. Technology advances very quickly and the development of drivers for processors and peripherals is quickly abandoned to focus on new processors. This happens with all Chinese manufacturers whose products, while working well, become obsolete due to the lack of these operating system updates.
This is not exactly what you say, it is a product with excellent appearance, good finishes, good performance and that meets the required quality standards and that, in addition, costs less than half than a product with similar characteristics from other manufacturers. I think they have their market share and make technology available to all budgets. Tell me, what tablet can you find for a price of 100 Euros? Are you going to demand that he update you to the latest Android? It will be useful to you regardless of the system. Enjoy it.
I donāt use TWRP.
I connected the PC and HiPadplus via USB and rewrote the firmware.
then āfastboot flash boot twrp.imgā was not applied. I am using it as is when shipped from the manufacturer.
I only rewrote the system area when rewriting the firmware.
ex) āfastboot flash system SparkOS-13.4-arm64_bgN-slim-Unofficial.imgā
Also, I havenāt rooted it.
I donāt remember clearly, but maybe I did āfastboot flash vendor vendor.imgā āfastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.imgā to prevent boot loops.
vendor.img and vbmeta.img were extracted from the original image of chuwiHipadPlus.
