Hi fun_,

I fear that you don't want to read my name here because you had a lot of work to build recoveries for my machines before. But if you have time for a new adventure it would be great if you could check building a recovery for my new RK3188 device. I have a 97RQ N90FHD RK3188. If you like you can check this firmware for building a recovery.

I have uploaded it to MEGA. I checked the download with Chrome browser and Firefox (firefox needs a plugin installed when asking for a download). Both browsers are OK with the download:

https://mega.co.nz/#!UVdG2L5a!UcANXCOi2Jv6042UNwCQSENwB5tZszMthE2CA3BfTC4

I would be happy if you are successfully. I don't know if there is any clockwork for RK3188 existing yet.

Thanks for your brilliant work.

Edit:

I saw you made a working recovery for the Pipo M9 RK3188 already. Great job ! Hope you can do it for me too.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pogodancer:
Hi disky,

a few weeks ago I asked fun_ also for giving him a donation (he made already 3 recoveries for me). But he negotiates - seems he is doing this work just like his name: only for fun !

Like everybody here who is buying cheap chinese devices I do not have too much money. But me and maybe others would be satisfied only to give small amounts for his great work. Maybe for fun_ his projects are easy to make, but for Windows-dummies like us his works are awesome, because we never will be able to do such things for ourselves.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] moezaka:
Hey, might i ask if this is compatible with rk29-- based "MSI enjoy 10 plus" ? and if yes, could someone tell me how, am sry for such a nooby question but this whole rockchip is a bit new to me and i've been doing some reading now so bear with me for nw :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pogodancer:
1. Be sure to have your original firmware downloaded on PC and the fitting flash-tool and installed all drivers that your PC can recognize your tab. Just in case you cannot boot your tab after flashing the recovery.

2. Maybe you want to try the generic recovery:

http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/rk2918/

3. Install it as described:

http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/

4. If that does not work, ask fun_ for making a special recovery adding the link of your firmware.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] moezaka:

Hi fun_,

you don't have to be sorry. First your life and your projects. And after that if there is left time and you like you can do things for us. I am sure that everybody here understands this and everybody is happy to have someone like you to help us with your work. I think time is not so important because when we can wait f.e. 4 weeks for shipping a tablet from China. Then we easily can wait a bit longer for you to help us. Thanks for work. If donations are welcome please just add it to your signature.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] rocketero:
Hello [MENTION=2864694]fun_[/MENTION], First I want to congratulate you for such a good work, I installed CWM recovery on my MK808B in almost 30 seconds using the stock recovery screen from this device.

The next description I do apologize if has already been asked, but here it goes:

I perform a backup with your CWM recovery in place, but one thing I noticed after the backup is that there are 12 files instead of the normal 7 files in most CWM recovery in other tablets I have.

The extra 5 files in this backup are: kernel.img, .android_secure.vfat.tar.a, cache.ext4.tar.a, data.ext4.tar.a, system.ext4.tar.a

The Kernel.img I know is one that is fine and it shows in this CWM backup, but in my other cwm tablets it's not a regular one.

For the other files that end-up in .a, I can not make heads or tails because the contra-part of those endup only in .tar (cache.ext4.tar, etc) and those have a value of zero bytes, the one with the correct sizes are the ones that end-up in .a

Is there any reason for this, is this normal ?

thanks very much and again regards for your hard work.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Also, I am using the boot.img and system.ext4.tar(.a) given by this CWM backup, to work with the dxda's kitchen tool, and once I try to set the workspace it comes with this message:

Android 'magic' header not found at start of boot.img

Checking if it exists elsewhere ...

Warning: Android header not found in boot.img (unsupported format)

The same message happens when I try to extrack the kernel+zimage out of boot.img with the kitchen tool and it doesn't extract and the zimage file comes out with zero bytes in size.

NOTE: I'm trying to use the RKUTILS (rkunpack.c) with CYGWIN but the C compiler and G++ compiler can not unpack the boot.img image, the command: g++.exe rkunpack.c boot.img is giving the following error:

$ g++.exe rkunpack.c boot.img

rkunpack.c: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:

rkunpack.c:210:69: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘uint8_t*’
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I have those files when I created a backup, never used any other CWM before but either way everything backed up without error & restored as I expected it to.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
sorry for long silence,

today I can do some(few?) things... I'll try to make device specific images by your requests as much as possible.

but sorry, I will not keep order of request because searching & sorting requests will take time :(

it was fault that I didn't prepare dedicated, unique, useful request form. I'm thinking to prepare new thing with google forms/sheets.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rocketero:
To resume what I posted on Post # 328, what I need is to found out why the boot.img image file extracted with your CWM Backup & Recovery does not unpack with neither the DXDA's Kitchen Tool nor the RKUNPACK.C utility from the RKUtils package. the messages in red in that post # 328 is what I get when I try to unpack this boot.img image.

Can you help me out to unpack (kernel+zimage) so I can do some changes to swap flash nand storage for external sdcard storage? much appreciated.

RK3188

Hi fun_,

I tested your recoveries (2 x Pipo M9 and 1 x U30GT2) on my 97RQ N90FHDRK device. But I cannot access the recovery menu. I tried to access via Rebooter-app and via hardware-buttons. But no way to reach the recovery - it just boots up to Android.

I am wondering why the original recovery.img are so big (about 21 MB) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
you can't enter recovery with stock recovery.img, right?

please flash misc-boot-recovery.img in my CWM.zip into misc partition, then reboot.

I can see some files such as kernel modules for wlan, bluetooth, etc. I guess it's for "factory test"...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pogodancer:
Hi fun_

you are right: I cannot access the stock-recovery.

Strange: Flashing the misc-boot-recovery.img (into misc) and recovery.img (into recovery). The tablet does not boot now. Only black screen. No chance to access recovery by hardware-buttons.

Maybe because I have a device not matching with the recoveries you made ?

1. Booting tablet with stock-recovery and stock-misc. Then connecting to USB and "adb devices" ? or

2. Booting tablet with fun_-recovery and stock-misc. Then connecting to USB and "adb devices" ? or

3. Flashing fun_-recovery and fun_-misc. Turning tablet on (booting is not possible). Then connecting to USB and "adb devices" ?

Thanks for your help.

As you have an RK3066-device fun_'s recovery should work. As I told many times: Be sure to have your stockrom, the RKbatchTool and the correct drivers installed in Windows (just in case anything goes wrong).

You also need the RKandroidTool for flashing fun_'s recovery. I recommend to try it with the generic one. Maybe later with the one for Yuandao N80 if the generic does not work. Never mind if it does not work, then you can flash back the stock-recovery.img without losing data on your tablet. If you have problems with the recoveries you should post it here later.

@ fun_

I could not get a connection to the N90FHD after flashing your misc.img and recovery.img. But I even cannot connect when Android is booting with stock.img. I guess I am not very good in ADB. I will wait for another recovery.img you make for the N90FHD. Maybe better for my device.

I read in another forum that they use your recovery for the M9:

thanks. but I'm not sure my image is totally wrong. can M9/U30GT2 official firmware run on your N90FHDRK?

I guess they tried to use my ramdisk(as like as I'm trying), but it had issue...

I wish I can solve issue they met, but it may take time w/o real hardware. I have no feedback from them.

I'll remove my test images soon. (before someone who think it should work copy & redistribute somewhere...)

sorry for confusing you. I cannot guarantee the M9\U30GT2 firmware runs in my N90FHD. I know the U9GTV firmware works. So I did a try. You need a tester with M9/U30GT2 to be sure if your new creation works for RK3188.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pogodancer:
Unfortunately there is also no access to the recovery. Not with apps and not with hardware buttons. I flashed once only recovery.img and the second time I flashed misc.img and recovery.img. Both flashes I did with RKandroidTool. When trying to boot into recovery I only see a penguin in the upper left side on black background for a few seconds. And after the screen goes totally black. But no boot is possible at this moment:

1. When only flashing recovery.img: After unsuccessful boot I can power off the tablet with a long press. After I can reboot into my old Android-system like before.

2. When flashing recovery.img + misc.img: There is no way to boot up the tablet again. I have to flash the stock recovery.img + misc.img. After that a full wipe will be done and the tablet starts into a naked Android (just like after a factory reset).

Maybe you have some idea about that. Thanks for your work.

I guess you can see same penguin with stock boot/recovery image. I didn't touch kernel so it should work.

then, ramdisk in my recovery image, this is what I made for RK3066, is not working.

if recovery works, misc partition will be erased and next boot will go into Android without force factory reset.

sorry, for now, please flash empty misc.img(I'll make it) into misc partition to boot to Android. factory reset will not run with it.

(stock misc.img contains factory reset command)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pogodancer:
Hi fun_,

I have installed your new recovery on my N90FHDRK two times with RKAndroidTool (recovery.img only and misc.img + recovery.img). The result is the the same in both cases:

The good news:

Seems that you are the first dev porting a working recovery to a RK3188 device. :good:

I can access the recovery either with keep holding vol+ and power when booting or by apps from a running system. What I tested: backup to ext sd, wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, restore from ext sd. Everything works. :good:

Not so good:

- Entering recovery with vol+ and power is a bit tricky: Sometimes the tablet powers off.

- Recovery reacts and works bit slow, but it's OK.

- When moving in the recovery with the volume-rockers clockwork is doing each step - but you only see each second step. That means you push the first time and the cursor does not move. Push a second time than the cursor jumps 2 steps. So if I want to reach the step between, I push one time, don't see the cursor moving and press power. And then I am in the skipped operation.

For me the most important lag is to fix the non-skipping-cursor. Maybe it's a small step for you, but I don't know anything about these things.

fun_, congratulations for your great pioneering work. Thank you very, very much. I can work with this recovery and it's very important for me, as the firmwares for these new devices are not running very smooth. And with your recovery I don't have to do everything again when testing another firmware. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
thank you for your cooperation. it should be easy to fix...

oh, I forgot to say what's changed for others. (EDIT: link to RK3066 images are not updated yet)

RK3066 3.0.36+ kernel should be supported so it should run fine on bq Curie (and others).

color format on Gemini Duo 8 Tablet 8113a (and others) should be fixed too.

for all, sorry for delay.

well, skipping-cursor issue is fixed, right?

I didn't fix 'bit slow' issue. is it still bit slow?

I investigated a little, and I guess 'bit slow' issue may happen on hi-res displays.

my device uses 1280x720 16bit color frame buffer = less than 2MB/frame.

probably your device uses 2048x1536 32bit color frame buffer = 12MB/frame. screen drawing speed should be 6 times slower. it may be 'bit slow'.

I have some idea, but it may cause another issue. can you try another one?
