Joyplus M718

[Blagus]

Hi everyone! I've seen this Joyplus M718 at a quite cheap prize... I got really interested as soon as I've seen it has Android.
However, I don't see firmwares for it anywhere, CWM or any custom Android ROMs... Any clues on this? I've been looking on this forum too, but didn't find anything...
Only thing I've found on googleis that it can be rooted with Z4root...

Thanks in advance

OK, I got the device yesterday. It was ALREADY rooted out of box with permanent shell root, with Android 2.1 but Froyo framework and GB keyboard, and Market preinstalled... really strange, but nice I've made backup of recovery and boot partitions and flashed CWM for 7015 which works too!
Looks like this Chinese copy will be really nice, they did a nice job in customizing However, I'll backup that and flash CM6, and come back with results...

I've installed CWM, rebooted into it. Inserted SD card, tried to make backup... High frequency steady beep started coming out as it was making system backup. It said complete, I rebooted it and it went to recovery automatically. After resetting it few times, it didn't even go into recovery, but into fastboot. Then I downloaded official 2.3 from Joyplusgroup.com and used FWDL provided to format NAND, flash 516kB ROM, flash Android img and make 3.1GB FAT. Beep gone and it's working nicely.
I guess recovery isn't correct?

Thanks. Can you give me cat /proc/mtd (typed in terminal) to see if partition layout is the same? I think that was the problem when I tried CWM for the first time...

unfortunely, I have sold my G10 GPAD, not able to show you the cat /proc/mtd.
