*Please be aware there are a lot of M70003 copies out there now and these instructions will only work with the official original M70003. it does not work with the M003, M002, M0003, M703 etc.*<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How to install the firmware update to the M70003 with Google marketplace.<\/p>\n

So you want the market place or you want your M70003 to be more responsive.<\/p>\n

*WARNING DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!*
\nAt the moment there are a few known bugs, like volume buttons on top not working, battery indicator showing incorrectly, some clones also get DEMO writen on the screen.<\/p>\n

Here is a video of what you can expect:<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

So how do you upgrade:
\nEasy, grab this file: M70003_Slatedroid1.3[1.7.4_base].zip<\/a><\/p>\n

ONLY EXTRACT IT WITH 7ZIP (link<\/a><\/strong>)<\/strong> or things break.. AND IM SERIOUS. I didnt believe it i used winzip and winrar and they both broke parts of android.<\/p>\n

Once extracted move the “script” folder to the root of the SD card<\/p>\n

Reboot the Android M7003, you should see something like:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wait\u00a0until\u00a0it tells you to remove the SD card, and remove the card.<\/p>\n

At this point put the SD card in the PC and rename the “script” folder “scriptold”. This will stop it booting in future.<\/p>\n

Configure the touch screen, The touch screen needs to be configured before you can use it.<\/p>\n

To get to the Settings pannel Click:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To Scroll the Settings Window click and drag as below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To Start the touchpad calibration click:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To get youtube application working download and install: com.wmt.tudouwidget.apk<\/a><\/p>\n

Only known issue i can see at this point is the Volume up and down buttons are not working. I had a play but as i have flashed my iped i am unable to get the settings to replicate it.<\/p>\n

QUICK UPDATE:
\nIf the marketplace stops downloading here is how you fix it:<\/p>\n

”
\nThere is a weird bug in the market app. You need to clear the data in goggle apps before a new d\/l will work.
\nTry this:
\nBest way I’ve found to D\/L apps in market.<\/p>\n

Go into Market find and start D\/l of app you want, it will just sit there at starting d\/l. That’s ok for now just find the next app you want and start a d\/l on it. Repeat until you have all the apps you want.<\/p>\n

Now cancel all the D\/l you started.<\/p>\n

Exit the market.<\/p>\n

Go into setttings, manage applications and clear data in Goggle apps.<\/p>\n

Exit settings<\/p>\n

Go back into market Login again and into D\/L tab
\nFind the largest app and start the d\/l. It should start.
\nWhile the d\/l is still going on start the rest of the apps D\/l.<\/p>\n

You can start another d\/l as long as another app is still d\/l. It’s like once the Market thinks it’s done with d\/l’s it’s screwed up and won’t start another. But as long as one app is is in d\/l you can start another.
