Thanks, it seems others are having problems?? Just put the guide you used above, thanks again for the help.

 

[vortgrenade4]

what I did also is by manually updating it. I used update.zip and Onda_ICS_2.zip. Just boot to recover then wipe then apply update. My playstore is working great. All apps are now compatible. I've downloaded Chrome and it is working. Though Voice search is not.

This worked great on my v2 (no voice search, but not a big deal for me) - thank you iiDiabolusZz!!!!!

It worked for me.
The Chinese Settings menu was intimidating, but then I looked at my English tablet and
figured it out
Thanks.
The process is precarious, at best.
The Onda tablet does not have volume control buttons, so no way to navigate the recovery menu.
I just rebooted, and it seemed to work. Installed your patch afterward.
It seems that the Wifi is slower/less strong than it used to be.
But Play Store lets me download, and it does not seem to go through Google China any more.
Still experimenting before I trust it with real info.
Downloading Norton Antivirus.

Hi, i think i have rid it of all spyware, if anything shows will you let me no thanks, also im looking in to the wifi issue, i seem to be getting a weaker signal on v701 since i went to 4.1.1, i have noticed a difference in size to 1 file inside the JB update.zip/system/etc/wifi , to the one in 4.0.3, i cant see a reason why a file for hardware needs to be altered as there was no issues and is not a great leap in OS. You could try looking in the 1.5 and 1.5.5 update.zip/system/etc/wifi and see if any difference and try swapping them with root explorer or i will let you no when i get round to it, busy trying to port windows 8.

 

[vortgrenade4]

what I did to fix this wifi problem and playstore being slow is by applying the update first from the update.zip then reboot then boot to recovery then apply update to patch.zip then reboot

 

[vampirefo.]

Do you have a link to the jellybean firmware?

 

[iiDiabolusZz]

Dont have Jellybean for v712 yet.

Everything works. Wifi issue seems to be with a 802.11b/g AP, if I run on 802.11n it seems ok. Thanks a lot! The Onda 712 is a fine tablet, just the battery life is short. Passmark benchmark numbers are impressive.
