Here is an Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean rooted firmware for the PiPO M6 PRO (aka Max-M6pro) new tablet hardware that is equipped with a GPS. This firmware is designed for the model without 3G module, it is based a latest official update dated 2013/08/23.

Build information:

Custom firmware features:

removed most Chinese and unnecessary applications, removed Certificate Center asking for product key
Google Play Store fixes so more application are visible/compatible
updated busybox v1.21.0.git (2012-11-29)
Unix like init.d boot scripts support, more details on init.d scripts here
changed permissions on external sdcard to allow write access

NEW! kernel modules (cifs, tun, lan, serial, xpad) compiled by Oma & Crew RKTablets, thank guys!

Download: kasty-pipo-m6_pro-422-20130823-rooted4b.zip

Flash with Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.7, use Restore button.

Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have a PIPO M6pro tablet to test the custom firmware.

You said you can't connect, does that apply only to your WiFI access point or any WiFI network ?

Have you flashed using Restore button in Rockchip Batch Tool ?

You can try flashing again with the Restore button, make sure you are using the right firmware for your model (M6 pro or just regular M6 version).

Cheers.

Dear admin, I liked Your firmware. Thank you for your work. There is a request to add the firmware Multi-user support. If possible of course. Your competitor asserts that it has achieved http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7229-Pipo-M6-Pro-RileyROM-1-2

Our firmware does not offer multi-user by default because I think Pipo may have good reasons not to enable it, maybe it's not stable with their current firmwares.

Still, there is an easy way to enable it with your custom firmware in a minute and just a few clicks, see here:

No Archos/Arnova device

Thanks alot for the firmware. Now my new M6pro is rooted and a bit more snappy. Ota disabled in apps/all apps/disabling firmwareupdate. Looks OK now.

There is one problem for me when trying to use the new Pipo home: It keeps asking for product key, so i cannot try Pipo home and children home. But that is not a dealbreaker. So thanks a lot.

Normally there is no product key to enter, from what I understand the tablet somehow gets verified by Pipo servers once it's going online, that's why you need to activate WiFI for this message to disappear.

I'm not yet very familiar with that weird registration process for Pipo tablets and I'll try to check again on next firmware reflash.

Cheers.
