Clockwork?????

Hi. Does anyone know what the status of clockwork recovery is for our devices???

I'm just starting to work on that myself.
Starting with this post from Koush:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
Unfortunately, I'm stuck at dumping the stock recovery with no idea how to proceed. It seems that on other devices, one would start by typing
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
but unfortunately, that doesn't work on our A7 (or at least not on mine). It returns, "cat: can't open '/proc/mtd': No such file or directory"
So, I guess "dump_image" is another option, but Koush says that it only works on devices running MDT. Anybody know how to tell if the A7 runs MDT? Or what MDT is?
After that, it looks pretty straight forward.
Billy

I've run "cat /proc/___" on just about everything else there hoping to find that "mtd" was just renamed on our devices, but no luck.
Billy

well....one of us could send our tablet to him for a week or so...

"My" tablet, technically became my wife's as of 12/25. She let's me play with it but I'm not even going to ask if I can send it to some guy from teh intarweb for a week

sounds like you volunteered

i believe were dealing w/ a mmc device, not MDT. So DD (dalvik debug) which is emulated in android sdk will have to be used. ive been messing with it but time is hard to come by during the holidays!

the memory in the elocity is 4GB eMMC Module via HSMMC Interface for System Boot and Storage it is listed in the specs

Ok guys, I've been talking to Koush a bit in IRC and will be sending him my A7 soon to hopefully get Clockwork ported to it. Maybe then we can get some actual development going for this little guy. I hope someone is able to possibly get true multitouch working for it. Anyway, we'll see what happens.....

[RK3188/3066/2918] Custom Firmware Tool for Windows

Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!
This is what it does:
Extract update.img as well as system.img
Pre-root your firmware
Open system folder to edit your rom
Repack update.img
I cant post links so previews are a no no I guess. Let me know how it works. If this is the wrong section I apologize.

Thanks !!
Would like to bring to your attention (as you seem the only Chef so far) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437990
Hope you can help contribute to the thread, and possibly have the first full solution, root, CWM, CFW, custom ROM

Thanks! I was looking for a material Quick installation!

Doesn't work on Windows 8 either. Compatibility setting was set to Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7, nothing worked.

Okay Windows 8 users should try this. RAR attached

Hi, I also bought a TimingPower RK3188 and was wondering where can I find Roms for it? Like a Finless Rom that might work for it? Anyone? Thanks!

uhhh not sure what to say. i do it in my very rare spare time. i can take requests. i made my personal rom as small as possible. basically all i kept was a browser, google play and a media player. oh and flash player. everything else i just installed from google play

I bought 2 of these

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.
Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.
One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.
Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).
BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.

thanks!

Custom Rom Lenovo S6000

Hey guys,
can you say me if there will be custom roms for this tablet in the future?
would be very nice, cause i love flashing all my devices

I would like to know too. Lenovo has crippled this version of Android.

They absolutely have. I was able to "semi-root" with framaroot, so thankfully su is added BUT I still can't uninstall bloatware...although there isn't much it still bugs me. full root and ROM still needed.

Custom ROM for S6000 would be very nice. Searching for it every day.

KitKat
Hopefully someone will add a KitKat ROM when possible, don't see lenovo upgrading us to it when it becomes available. Don't think the tablet is popular enough unfortunately though.

Just use titanium back up to remove bloat.... Work great for me
Sent from my IdeaTab S6000-F using xda app-developers app

Yea, I wish there was a custom ROM too. I just got my S6000-H yesterday, rooted it right away and used TiBu to remove some of the bloatware (I froze some more that I wasn't sure of). But it's missing simple things I'm used to from my N7000, like the advanced options in the shutdown menu.
I read in another thread that we do have a type of recovery built in - could someone tell me where to find it?
Never mind, found it ... and finally installed CWM today too. Now all I need is a nice custom ROM, but it doesn't look like any devs have that tablet

Use xposed to add modules. .. reboot, multi Window, floating, etc...etc... my S6000 tab works great. .. Still not good as my note 3 but...almost! My wife is jealous of all my tab can do... She think it stock that way. .. And her weird little Ellipses 7 Verizon gave hercan't do half of it. ... Guess I'll have to pimp her tab up for her! ! Look up x posed installer on xda, or Google it, then just follow where it leads. ... Easy

Thanks for that tip ... I just installed xposed and 3 modules, going to have a look through that huge list these days to see if I find more.
I installed the one to show the temperature in the status bar, the advanced reboot one and the one that shows RAM used/free in the task switcher. Pretty neat so far - if you know of any other "must-have" modules feel free to let me know
And sorry criszz, but no idea if that'll work on your tablet too

for xposed module i use a must have module : Gravity box and Boot manager

I installed Advanced Power Menu ... but Gravity Box I'm not sure about, way too much stuff in there I'll probably never need

Thanks for that update!
I won't hold my breath for anything official seeing as Lenovo didn't even bump up to 4.3,
and zero ROMS out there? Or am I rubbish at searching?

I read in an other Forum that there is no Custom ROM yet because Mediatek isn't releasing Source Code of their ROMs. After Browsing Lenovo Site of the S6000 I have found this:
mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/s6000_tablet?tabname=manuals
You get linked to Manuals, click on Downloads section and then there is:
Open Source Code - S6000 Tablet 10/12/2013 - 320MB
Don't know if it's the right thing, just wanted to mention it here.
And other News on KitKat:
news.softpedia.com/news/Android-4-4-KitKat-Update-for-Lenovo-Yoga-8-Inch-and-10-Inch-Tablets-Coming-in-June-438474.shtml
It's getting closer now, first 4.4 mediatek tablet ( lenovo yoga ) get's update in June. Let's hope for a compatible version / port for the S6000.
In am wondering if the Updates for the Yoga Tablets are compatible with the S6000, cause they use same processor and overall same specs.
Greetings JanDr0id
ps: i erased the httttttp in front of the links cause its my 1st post and xda isnt allowing me to post links yet.

I saw that mediatek released their source for kitkat. All the parts are there. Just need a Dev with one of these to assemble it.

Shield Tablet Open Source Factory Preinstalled

This is compiled from Nvidia's source using instructions found on this page Link
You need to have an unlocked bootloader and adb/fastboot.
Be aware this does not include any of nvidia's apps or google's frameworks/play store and is just plain android with no extras. (If someone can pull from their /system it may be helpful). I will try to add more later, but this should at least get any bricked tablets going until nvidia released a factory image.
______________Downloads_________________________________________________
Preinstalled
OTA0
_______________Directions___________________________________________________
Run flash.bat while unlocked/ screen on(if your computer hasn't been approved for adb yet), or while in bootloader.
Or flash each file in fastboot, instructions are in the nvidia link if you need more.

Fixed my problem with WIFI not turning on at all, but is there an easy way for me to install gapps? Playing the waiting game for the factory img sucks....but Without even the playstore this tablets a lemon! hahaha any help would be awesome

You'll have to root and push a gapps package into your root directory. We don't have a recovery unfortunately.

precisely...
yeah I normally just slap it in the sd card then boot into twrp and flash away but it's kinda hard at the moment. and even stock recovery is upside down and wont get past the android icon no matter the button combo. lol im SOL.
Pretty sure I received a Lemon Tablet though out of the box. Wifi Was really choppy, but then I factory reset it and wifi was just completely gone. but this reenabled the wifi...thank god. but no playstore/google account is a huge bummer! lmao
I appreciate the fast response though man! I'm not stupid with android, but dummy stock makes me scratch my head. I can throw adb commands all day but I just cant push install them for some reason...maybe im just rtarded

I had some issues just pushing too, try using these commands.
Code:
adb root
adb remount
(from inside the extracted gapps folder)
adb push system /system

WORKED!
Thanks man! Went perfectly smooth! I forogot about pushing the full folder like that. Havent had to do it inna while but yeah man it went smooth as day! Thanks! now to just wait for the factory img...lol
BTW do you know what I have to rename the tablet under about device to make it look as the shield tablet to the playstore? I was using grid when the wifi crapped but I cant use grid as it says my device isnt supported.

I'm not sure exactly what it needs to be changed to, if someone could get a dump of the stock rom it would help. I tried to see if someone could get me a dump, but I've had no luck yet.

I hear yuh. Yeah I'm no help onna dump at the moment. If somebody could post even a screen shot of their about tablet I can rename the stuff directly. I use ROM Toolbox Pro and use the build prop editor. You just rename the builds to the stock nvidia one and you should be golden as the play store reads it as stock nvidia android...I think...I had to do it with the kindle fire back in the day to make it look like a Nexus 7.

Yes, you should be able to change a few things to make it work. I think most of what you can se is cosmetic and you'll have to change the ro.build.fingerprint too if I'm not mistaken.

shield tabletiers
Hopefully someone who is rooted/stock is willing to send us some screen shots. I actually kinda prefer this build over the stock nvidia one...its a lot faster. Theres absolutely no lag...granted I use sd maid/unlocker, fstrim, and nova. But so far this rom has been great. And you cant beat that barebone feel of android! Although the nvidia optimizer is there its unavailable through the settings menu. You can tell how stuff is like in there but hidden. Theres pros and cons to both. I just need to get the right build props to make the playstore see this as the shield tablet. Youve been a great help bub btw I appreciate it.
It just sucks that my first experience with the shield tablet was a bad install of android out of the box? Thats the first time ive ever had a software related wifi failure. The only other time was eith my droid 2 back in the day. LOL
Btw Other Shield Tablet owners, this is the screenshot I need from YOU so i know what to change my props too. Im using rom toolbox pro, but the lite version allows adjustments too. All I need is the screenshot! Much appreciated!

Oh! No big deal! Your name is still all in it. Its just the one line, I assume, thats seperating the playstore from recgonizing it as the shield tablet! Lol

This build has external sdcard issues. My 128 GB SD card shows as damaged, every other ROM with sdcard support (including stock) works fine. I'd love to be able to use a pure android build on the tab, any chance of making another build?
EDIT: seems to have issues with exfat formatted cards, works fine with sdcards formatted as fat32 ?

[ROM] Super Early Android Wear 2 for Ticwatch 2

Okay, before anyone asks:
No you cannot flash this without a developer dock on your Ticwatch 2
MAKE A BACKUP
MAKE ANOTHER BACKUP
FOR GODS SAKE MAKE A FRIKKIN BACKUP
This is in no way, shape or form intended as a daily driver if you happen to be able to flash it
Things are broken, stuff is missing and many more undiscovered things are going to happen
THIS IS MAINLY A DEVELOPER RELEASE SO OTHERS CAN HELP!
Well now that's out of the way: Welcome to the first ever publicly released Android Wear 2 ROM for your Ticwatch 2!
As mentioned above this is mainly a download and playground for developers so far and not intended for use with daily driver Ticwatch 2's so far.
I will not provide any support in this thread whatsoever about this ROM as this is not my work. However I have been working together with another guy to make this even possible, tho he did all the coding/rewriting/magic to make this possible at all.
The initial dump came from my very own Ticwatch E and stuff was ported over to the Ticwatch 2 then, or at least we tried as good as we could. Stuff like vibration, microphone and the side tickle are still not working and need to be fixed, however due to missing drivers and their source code this wasn't possible yet. This is why we've decided to release what we have so far so other developers can hopefully jump in and help us here.
The Download comes with a Scatter file for the SP Flash Tool, however I won't provide any further instructions on how to use it or how to make a backup of your watch. I myself am too unskilled to do anything else than making a dump with that tool so the actual "porting-guy" (Luxios) was able to work with since he doesn't own a Ticwatch S/E.
DOWNLOAD --- Mirror
You can also download the FULL TICWATCH 2 ROM ZIP (or directly from Mobvoi) or download a TICWATCH 2 PARTITION DUMP (or a MIRROR available here). For your porting pleasure
"Some" instructions or infos so you won't have to figure them out anymore:
The Ticwatch 2 and Ticwatch S/E go into MediaTek flashing mode the moment you connect a turned off watch via USB
Here's a handy little diagram for the pinout on the back if you wanna try this
Please keep in mind that I'm unable to help you in any way, shape or form with all of this and I won't take responsibility for broken watches or shattered hopes and dreams! I haven't even flashed it myself onto my TW2 yet since my 3D printer and spring contacts didn't arrive yet. Once I have those 2 things I'll probably provide a file for you guys to download and print yourselves to make your very own dev dock
Anyways, have fun and I hope some of you guys can help us to make this awesome Ticwatch 2 finally run Android Wear in its finest form!

Good to see it.

Damm great man. Now i need to get myself a dev dock. Does anybody have any recommendations where to get this..

I've read somwhere of a guy who didn't used a dock but these little mini hooks, maybe that can help ?

You can make a quick version of the developer dock. It works.

I've added both the original dump and ROM from the Ticwatch 2 here now so you guys can get started Thanks already for your help!

I don't get how tho, they only have contacts on the opposite side as it should have. How does it make contact with the one on the TW2?

Some other great news TWRP is working on the Ticwatch E now!

So far there is nothing, we've literally only dumped the partitions from the Ticwatch E and you can flash them onto your 2 without any modifications. However once we have drivers we'll make them available tho.

Except microphone, vibration, the side tickle and prob something I'm forgetting right now everything should work. Basically you can use it daily already IF you want but we won't guarantee that it will since we haven't done anything to it yet except dumping and providing it. We did try to get those things to work but they require more tinkering.

Bad luck. It seems that my watch end up in boot loop after flashing this rom.
I have restore my backup.
Edit: Use twrp to wipe data, then it will boot.
