Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. I came across this tablet during the holiday season sale at P C Richard and Son (don't see them carrying it anymore). Found it to be a great deal for 59.99 USD (+tax) since it looks like it has a lot of potential for so cheap a tablet.

The one I am currently playing around with is the last of the 5 that I had picked up as gifts for others (and this one will be reaching the recipient soon).

When searching the web for more info, could practically find none. Most of the stuff I saw online was desperate queries of folks struggling with this make/model.

My play toys are the Nexus 7 and the Note II - love the JB, and so was just trying to put together a sort of guide of the great work you folks have been doing here at XDA that will immensely help them. :)

Thank You

:good: Thanks, you have done a great work. yesterday I installed Generic version on my CUBE U9GT4 tablet. Its working. No problems. I have to still test it by making some backups and then restoring it. Usb storage mode is also working.

If u wish to create device specific CWM for my device, then you can download the latest rooted firmware from http://www.arctablet.com/blog/downloads/firmware/Cube/kasty-cube_u9gt4-41-103-rooted.zip

R: [CWM] CWM-based Recovery for RK3066/RK2918/RK2906 devices

any feedback on minix x5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
you mentioned about reinstalling CWM. please make sure your problem is "stock recovery is restored after Android boot" or not. there are "CWM-based" text and CWM logo so it should be easy to identify. please don't use word "recovery" without "stock" or "CWM".

if you are talking only about CWM, and CWM is booted everytime w/o reinstall, then reinstalling will not be necessary. what happen if you use different USB input device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
if you have X5, and if you can give me feedbacks, I'm happy.

it should work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
hi onelovekir,

I can't post a message to your CWM thread on minixforums.com(because of confirmation mail). so I'm posting here about your message on there.

at first, currently I'm thinking you're using my CWM for NEO X5/G4 without any modification. I'm talking about my CWM below.

but if you already did or you are doing some modification to CWM, it may be wrong. I can't read your all posts on there, so I'm not sure about your hard work. if I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

1.

(this was wrong. deleted. sorry)

2.

it's possible to (mis)install my device specific CWM image to different RK3066 device. assert line in my current edify script doesn't throw this kind of error.

3.

as I mentioned you in PM and posted here, if "cut off" issue is just an overscan thing(not a bug or something like that), it can be fixed, and it will be fixed on next my CWM.

kernel version in Android part has no relation to this issue nor my CWM.

----

on minixforums.com, you put 2 links, one points your copy of "CWM for NEO X5" you uploaded, and another points to my site http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/ but labeled as "CWM for NEO G4".

people on there may not know my site and this thread. I hope this information will be informed. and I hope people who read this will not have wrong assumption.

well, please feel free to use my CWM, e.g. uploading to another site, discussing on another forum, using in custom rom, and of course making enhancement and making your own CWM.

but if you're thinking to use my CWM without modification, and if you are asked something about what you are not sure, I recommend to tell a pointer to my site/thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
can you tell me where to download official firmware?

I don't want to use files from custom rom because I'm not sure which part is modified. I want to see non-modified official information/files.

Thanx for your reply

I'm talking always about CWM-Recovery.

First I have had an Logitech K400 Keyboard connected to my system. Lateron I connected RikoMagic RK-800 to my system.

During normal Android work I haven't any issues with both of this devices.

Trying this new keyboard from Rikomatic leads me exactly to the same situation. Once installed USB-conector to this device I was able to make selections and everything worked perfect - :)

Coming back again to CWM, with the new installed keyboard, no single reaction on any cursor-keypressing.:crying:

I've installed Clockworkmod as an application in Android - here I was able to do some backups without any issues and this more than only once.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
well, I don't think you're trying to use non-working keyboard. no need to talk about how these are fine so many :)

I want to see dmesg output both Android and CWM. (with keyboard, of course).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Avantar:
I put Dmesg_USB from Android OS, but don't know to do this during CWM

Pls can you give me quick help doing dmesg while starting CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
please run dmesg command on adb shell
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
oh I didn't know JB is released for RK29! I was not in RK world for a long time... ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Avantar:
Its not possible because during running CWM - adb don't see any device - I have to switch on USB-Connection during Android to see this device in adb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onelovekir:
I think 80% is safe, but maybe too much. only one of my tv's does the cut off thing, the rest must be auto-scaling so they are fine.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

the CWM for Minix Neo X5 works great!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Avantar:
Once again I have CWM running and I want to show you logfile from CWM-Menu

Maybe it helps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
ah, I see. internal wifi is connected to USB OTG so probably default mode is host mode.

if you switch to "PC connect" mode or something like that to use adb, you lose wifi, right?

it can be fixed. please run following command on android

busybox find /sys -name force_usb_mode
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onelovekir:
1. ...

2. yeah, but its always better to install the specific one. but I edited that line for you ;)

3. can't wait for that one, cuz a lot of people are having issues.

fixed all the other issues. the minix forums are for minix users specifically so its better for them to try and get specific information. the "hard work" reference is for you buddy!! and no modifications have been done to your CWM build from me for the X5 or the G4 so you don't have to worry about that ;)

Edit: also, have you by any chance looked into the key codes I gave you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vulcanize:
I was surprised y'day too when I finally saw their website being updated (was not there two days ago) because I keep checking for any info with regards to it.

Had started a thread in Q&A with regards to the rk2906 chip specifically the Proscan model and would appreciate any and all of your input there for newbies wishing to upgrade. Since it is a cheap tablet, most would be first time tablet users and they would really need a step-by-step guide to help them through the various initiation process.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] onelovekir:
oh yeah, no worries and no rush. everything works as its supposed to right now so there is no urgency for the key codes implemented. I just want to get the codes working so that other IR devices might work properly.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
oops. really sorry, that command should not break anything :(

please reflash working rom for now...

probably "/sys/bus/platform/drivers/usb20_otg/force_usb_mode" exists on your device.

I'll make test image which change USB OTG mode to device, then you can use adb on CWM.

then please get dmesg output on CWM.

btw, please give me whole dmesg output. your dmesg on Android was filtered. I have no idea what happen on your device, so I want to see everything.

and here is a question, which power source are you using? USB port on PC(5V500mA)? AC-USB which can output 5V1A, 5V2A?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
thank you for your message. I made account "fun" and I can login with it.

but, confirmation e-mail was not arrived. confirmation e-mail uses "www-data@xenforos.foco.no" as sender/from, but "xenforos.foco.no" does not exist, so my e-mail server reject it.

I don't think it's so serious issue for me. please don't take it wrong. I don't have any NEO X5/G4. for now I have interest only my CWM and I can discuss about it on here.

if you can do something about this, please use PM. it's little off-topic.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Avantar:
Hello fun,

this small device hasn't any switch - only connection to the power-supply lets start system (BTW I'm using extra 2A Power Supply)

Situation now: There isn't any change to get even adb running my computer don't see anything from this MiniPC

I'm thinking, that I have to disassemble the whole case of this Mini PC and will connect 2 pins (6/7) on one specific chip to let the system startup (HardWare) in download mode.

Now I'm going to send you the complete dmesg running android from yesterday
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
oh... I understand your situation correctly just now :(

I roughly googled about unbricking MK802III. it seems pin# is 8/9. (it depends on NAND chip model)

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2lMt8XD6UaY/UNQcBYQrsmI/AAAAAAAABHk/jbIe566w4E0/s1600/MK802.jpg

I think all "no switch to boot recovery and/or bootloader" and "USB OTG is host mode by default" devices have same risk :(

----

thanks for dmesg
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
plan for "no switch to boot recovery and/or bootloader" devices,

(EDIT: this will be necessary regardress of USB OTG mode, it can happen if boot.img is valid format but unusable)

install special CWM image, which swaps boot and recovery partition, into boot partition. CWM will be booted on every (re)boot.

install boot.img into recovery partition. it will be booted by "reboot system now" menu item or "reboot recovery" command from CWM.

it may be annoying, but it should be safe, unless CWM is broken.

any comments?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Avantar:
Hello fun

I'm back again with my system and I'm good to go on.

3k over on packing recovery.img

hey fun_ , Using your sources and instructions when I try to unpack and repack the same recovery.img for a rk3066. The resulting image is 3k larger than original. Resulting in a broken recovery. This is what I'm doing...

cd

./tools/unpackbootimg -i recovery.img

gzip -cd recovery.img-ramdisk.gz | (cd recovery.img-ramdisk && cpio -i)

(cd recovery.img-ramdisk && find * | sort | cpio -o -H newc) | gzip > recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz

cd

./tools/mkbootimg --kernel recovery.img-zImage --ramdisk recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz -o recovery_new.img

cd

openssl sha1 recovery.img recovery_new.img

any clue what is going on?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SoulReaver75:
I had the same problem. I tried until I got the right cwm logo and menu working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
please don't send same message in PM. it takes my time to answer question from me :(

sha1 fingerprints must be different because you unpacked & repacked ramdisk. it's not my instructions.

did you confirm recovery_new.img can't boot on real device? or you just compared fingerprints?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
yes, I tried it on real device. and sorry for Pm'ing. Also for the confussion, I was under the impression it was yours... from this github (https://github.com/naobsd/rkutils). Something I noticed was that there was a 3kb size difference between the two the original and repack even though it's the exact same files. Do you think you could help. please.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
rkutils are mine. what I said is "comparing sha1 fingerprints before and after ramdisk unpack/repacking" is not my instruction. again, it must be different.

at first, please make sure you can make 100% same image by using (only) unpackbootimg and mkbootimg. if my memory is correct, this is my instruction I wrote somewhere.

and if you tried it on real device, please make sure how did you flashed your image, which tool you used.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Yes, using just those tools I get a identical image. I just did so. I flashed useing "RKAndroidTool" and was successful.

I can extract the ramdisk just fine using "gzip -cd recovery.img-ramdisk.gz | (cd recovery.img-ramdisk && cpio -i)"

but after compressing the extracted (un-modified) ramdisk using "(cd recovery.img-ramdisk && find * | sort | cpio -o -H newc) | gzip > recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz" the resulting "recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz" is 3KB larger.

using the original "recovery.img-zImage" and new "recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz" with "mkbootimg" produces a broken recovery.img when flashed with "RKAndroidTool".

Any more ideas?

If your wondering, I am doing all this trying to get things setup properly so I can modify my recovery images.

thanks by the way for the help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
I see. now I'm sure you're using right tools.

then, I'm still not sure about recovery.img and recovery.img-zImage you're using.

probably it's not so important because you said "successful". I believe you said "recovery booted fine", not just "flashing was fine".

then, I want to see 2 images, original recovery.img which has original ramdisk, and recovery_new.img which has 3KB larger recovery.img-ramdisk_new.gz.

can you upload them to somewhere?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephencapes:
Sure,

http://www.mediafire.com/?k4byixkgaie2yx1

never mind got it all fixed, thanks for your time!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:

i just found it left key# :)

IS there a way, on android stick (ie. ug007), to boot into CWM directly ? maybe by pressing some key on usb keyboard?

i asking because if you flash some bad rom, youwont be able to reboot into recovery, right ?!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
sorry I thought I wrote about it somewhere, but probably it might be in PM...

this time some person mentioned about it on another forum.

I'll add about it to "issues" on my site. but I'm not sure why it doesn't work on my CWM.

(I don' like PM by this reason. if it can be talked in public, it should be talked in public)

ENTER key will work in next release. some remote contoller also generate same key code.

cwm for Uhost2

dear fun

I have an android Tv stick (Uhost2 Android 4.0 RK3066 Dual Core 1.6GHz).

It is also the same rockchip device as the one you have made CWM for.

Can you help me please make a CWM for this device.

I think your current CWM maybe already good for 90% for my Uhost2.

But just need your help to make a special CWM for my device.

thank you very much
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
well, which do you want, my device specific image for Uhost2? or step-by-step instructions to make your own special CWM?

for me, former one is (relatively) easy. only official firmware image is needed. if you just want my device specific image, I'll make it.

is this latest official rom for Uhost2? http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=190

if you want later one, sorry. I'm really busy for now. a lot of items are still in my to do list :(

EDIT:

I found this thread http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/uhost2-u2/uhost2-cwm-possible-3691.html

are you aLex1s on tabletrepublic.com? (sorry if I'm wrong)

I'm just a general user who bought cheap Android device. I'm NOT a person who can access official things such as source code. I have no relation to Rockchip and any vendor such as smallart, and I never get any support from them.

there is no *lock* in Rockchip devices which prevents to make working CWM without official support. same for CyanogenMod, it's already available on the net.

this is just a community thing. please don't expect any official thing from me/here/my site.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Re: [CWM] CWM-based Recovery for RK3066/RK2918/RK2906 devices

Dear fun, yes its correct. that's me on that forum.

the link to the firmware you showed in your post is the latest firmware.

If you can plz make cwm.zip im already very happy.

I dont ask you to make cyanogenmod or release rockchip sources. That is too much to ask.

But a working cwm on the latest firmware you posted is already a good start.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
I see. I'll make device specific image for Uhost2 too.

I hope I can do some work on this weekend, but I can't promise anything because I'm still very busy :(

img to zip?

Installed on a MK808B and could easily make a backup, thanks for the tool. I would like to experiment a bit with other ROMS now for this stick. However, most if not all frnwares are supplied as xxx.img, not as xxx.zip. Is there any tool that can easily convert img to zip so that it can be used with CWM?

thanks, Marcher
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
here is my todo list for next

----

- add device specific images for

AS107

N70S

PLT7035-B

U9GT4

Uhost2

- add key codes for

ENTER on keyboard

OK on remote

(both should be same)

- change HDMI scaling size to 80% for overscan

- change OTG mode to DEVICE for adb on CWM

- add information about

USB hub issue

"install from stock recovery" works on JB rom only(probably)

----

how do you think about "CWM for boot partition" for devices which don't have any physical switch to enter bootloader/recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Re: [CWM] CWM-based Recovery for RK3066/RK2918/RK2906 devices

I think this is amazing.

Cwm for boot is very nice feature.

For instance my uhost2 doesnt have any physic vol+ or power bottom.

To go to cwm i would use terminal emulator and adb command to reboot recovery.

If you can make this proces quicker. that would be great.

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

20130203 is uploaded. changelog page is added on my site.

sorry, device specific images for Yuandao N70S and CUBE U9GT4 is not available yet.

I noticed there are (at least) 2 variants in N70S. I need to download latest official firmware for both.

downloaded file for U9GT4 was corrupted :( I need to download it again.

----

I noticed there are 2 issues on USB input devices and hubs.

1. USB input device is detected after recovery program scanned input devices.

I added 1s delay before scanning, so this issue should be fixed.

2. USB device initialization(reset) is failed in kernel

I have no idea to fix this issue. please reboot your device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
device specific images for Yuandao N70S, N70S(Q), and CUBE U9GT4 are also added.

And will make a step by step guide with images for the cwm procedure for my device.

But to be sure? Fun, I CANNOT USE this cwm recovery with newly released firmware. Am I correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
I have no reason to say "CANNOT".

well...

first of all, nothing is guaranteed. even if I said OK, I never guarantee about it. even if I want to guarantee something, I CANNOT do it because I don't have your device. asking sureness is meaningless. please confirm yourself. you can do it.

next, please describe things more specifically. what's "newly released firmware"? if you're thinking that I have to check newly released firmware and give guarantee to users, it's not correct.

thank you for your cooperation.
