Hello, I need a tablet for this software. Tablet locked with a pattern. The exact name is NewBase2 (ET) GR, without the volume buttons. Overmax wrote that it does not provide firmware for it.
On the Overmax website there is software available for this model, the package contains all the necessary programs and drivers as well as the manual. http://www.ov.overmax.eu/oprogramowanie/?pid=9115
Is the tablet case removed? In the pictures of this tablet on the Internet, where the buttons are not visible, a case is on. On the manufacturer's website you can see that this tablet has buttons. In the readme included in the firmware package, it writes to which models not to upload it and on the unsupported list there is no model that the post topic applies to.
In that case, you download the file to which the link was given to you by your friend nomudrek in the post # 2 you download the file NEWBASE II.zip is unpacked and you have files there:
NEWBASE_2_SOFT.zip
Pad Product Tool_V1.2.04.zip
Universal Adb Driver Setup.zip
Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1208.00.rar
And now you need to unpack Pad Product Tool_V1.2.04.zip and install Pad Product Tool via setup.exe, run setup.exe file as administrator I don't know what operating system you have on XP you normally install. (During installation, the program may let you know that it wants to install the drivers, you agree to install them, if there is any error, the system will have to be run in no digital signature and then it should move)
After installing, if the tablet is normally detected and does not call drivers, ok, and when it does, you have these two Universal Adb Driver Setup.zip files and Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1208.00.rar, after unpacking, you will find the drivers there.
If you have installed drivers, start Pad Product Tool in this program, your tablet should be visible, choose NewBase2.fw file from the previously unpacked directory NEWBASE_2_SOFT and upload.
This OV-Newbase 2.pdf manual is for tablet but with Rockchip RK2928 version, so don't even read it.
EDIT: To initialize the tablet in the program, turn it off, press VOLUME + completely and while holding it connected to USB
INSTRUCTION
Spoiler:
for boot mode Action CPU Tablet turn off tablet. Hold Volume UP (+) button and connect Action ATM702X tablet and insert cable .While holding Volume Up button press power button simultaneously 4 to 5 times. Computer found new hardware and driver will be installed. To make sure either your android tablet is connected go to properties of my computer and find out in USB portion "Action USB 2.0".
Open the tablet as shown in the picture, connect the USB 2.0 cable in the PC and under the tablet. Put the needle between the pins marked in the picture, counting from the top 8 and 7 pins, short-circuiting them. Press the reset button for 3s, release it and after a while it will initiate the detection of a new device on the PC, release the needle from the pins.
Next, as in the description.
Of course, this option does not necessarily work for this tablet model.
✨ The discussion revolves around the Overmax NewBase2 (ET) GR tablet, which is locked with a pattern and lacks volume buttons. Users inquire about firmware availability and solutions for unlocking the device. It is noted that Overmax does not provide firmware for this specific model. A user shares a link to software that includes necessary programs and drivers, but it is confirmed that this package is for a version with volume buttons. Suggestions for unlocking include examining the motherboard for chipset identification (ATM7023A) and using a specific method involving short-circuiting pins on the motherboard while pressing the reset button. This method successfully allows one user to unlock their tablet. Generated by the language model.
TL;DR: Overmax Newbase2 (ET) GR with Actions ATM7023A runs Android 4.1.1 (API 16); “This OV‑Newbase 2.pdf manual is for Rockchip… don’t even read it.” Use Pad Product Tool and a no‑volume-key boot trick to reflash and clear the pattern. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
Why it matters:** This FAQ shows how to unbrick or unlock a no‑volume‑key Newbase2 safely, using tools confirmed in the thread.
How do I remove a pattern lock on Overmax Newbase2 (ET) GR without volume buttons?
Flash the tablet. Install Pad Product Tool v1.2.04 and drivers, enter boot mode using the no‑volume procedure (see below), select NewBase2.fw, and start flashing. This reimages the device and clears the lock. The OP confirmed success after following the shared steps. [Elektroda, Noixer, post #16871974]
Where can I download software/firmware for Newbase2?
A user located software on the Overmax website for Newbase2. The package includes programs, drivers, and a manual. It enabled the workflow used here once boot mode was achieved. Use the included Pad Product Tool with the NewBase2.fw image. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16829383]
Is the official package only for units with volume buttons?
The thread author noted the posted package targets the version with volume buttons. However, the Action‑based flashing method worked after entering boot mode without volume keys. Proceed knowing the package’s manual may not match your hardware. [Elektroda, Noixer, post #16829419]
What chipset does this tablet use?
The examined unit uses an Actions ATM7023A processor. Identifying the SoC helps choose the correct flashing tool and avoid Rockchip‑specific manuals. “Actions ATM702X” also appears in build data shared in the thread. [Elektroda, Noixer, post #16858937]
How do I enter boot/flash mode without volume keys?
Open the back. With USB connected, short pins 8 and 7 (counting from top) as shown by the helper image, press Reset for 3 seconds, then release. The PC should detect a new device; remove the short and proceed to flash. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16871802]
How do I use Pad Product Tool to flash NewBase2.fw?
Install Pad Product Tool v1.2.04 as admin. If drivers fail, disable driver‑signature enforcement and install the included ADB/Actions drivers. Launch the tool, confirm the tablet shows as “Action USB 2.0,” select NewBase2.fw from NEWBASE_2_SOFT, then start. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
What if Windows blocks the driver during installation?
Boot Windows with driver‑signature enforcement disabled, then install the provided driver packages (Universal ADB Driver and Driver_Auto_Installer). Retry Pad Product Tool after the system recognizes “Action USB 2.0.” [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
Does the Rockchip OV‑Newbase 2 PDF apply to this tablet?
No. It targets the RK2928 variant. Use the Actions ATM702x flashing path. As one expert put it, “don’t even read it.” Following the wrong manual can brick the device. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
What Android version and build details are reported after flash?
The shared build.prop shows Android 4.1.1 (API 16), build JRO03C, device gs702a, and locale set to pl‑PL. LCD density is 120, and OpenGL ES version code is 131072 (2.0). [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
How do I identify my motherboard revision?
One board showed “86S V2.2, 28 May, 13” under the thermal pad. Such markings help match firmware expectations and component dates before flashing. Document your exact string for future reference. [Elektroda, Noixer, post #16858917]
Will the pin‑short boot trick always work?
Not guaranteed. The helper cautioned this option might not work on every Newbase2 unit. If detection fails, double‑check pin numbering and cable, then try again. Consider professional service if still undetected. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16871802]
How do I enter boot mode on Actions tablets that do have volume keys?
Turn the tablet off. Hold Volume Up, connect USB, then press Power 4–5 times while still holding Volume Up. Windows should show an Actions device in USB. Proceed to flash with Pad Product Tool. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
What USB IDs or labels should I see when connected?
The thread notes the device appears as “Action USB 2.0.” The build also lists VID 0x10D6 and PIDs in build.prop for MTP/PTP contexts, useful for driver matching. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16859085]
Did anyone confirm this method worked?
Yes. After shorting the specified pins and flashing with the provided tools, the original poster reported success: “Thanks! It works!” This validates the approach on at least one ET GR unit. [Elektroda, Noixer, post #16871974]
Quick 3‑step: boot without volume keys and start flashing?
Connect USB to PC and tablet, open the back.
Short pins 8 and 7, press Reset 3 seconds, release, then remove short.
