I'm sure it's possible to install this due to the same hardware

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

And possibly could u point me to a correct recovery
[Folio 100 Android Development] miazza:
HW is the same but memory I'm not sure is the same size.

Did you flash recovery by ZIP or by fastboot ?

Also it is worth to know if you are still on stock ROM or from which ROM you are starting.

Follow the instructions at this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2152095.

If recovery is not working than you cannot install this ROM on your device.

[Folio 100 Android Development] spicyalan:
I once started a kitkat cyanogen port (code is on github, see other thread). Unfortunately, it does not get passed the boot screen for an unknown reason (it tried the tweaks done by other tegra2 teams, but no luck)

However, I don't think the tablet would run better in kitkat (the JB version in the béta series already did some tricks to conserve memory, which would be lost).

The tegra2 not having a a NEON instruction set is also a big handicap. Other tegra2 tablets also come with 1Gb of memory. The 512mb of the folio is way too low, as it also needs to share at least 128Mb with the GPU, due to the big screen.

Anyway, my Folio is broken (does not power anymore), but it was already dying anyway (screen started to be unresponsive again due to a bad cable fitting, battery got swollen,...)

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Mine is broken. I swore never to buy a Toshiba again due to the bad support (Toshiba should have least upgraded this tablet to ICS + google play store). They even didn't care to leave a fully functional 2.2.

However.... I bought an 8" toshiba encore 2 tablet last week (couldn't leave it with a clearance price at €90, including Office license). There is a reason why the price was low: Crappy hardware with a crappy OS, but still usable as mini PC.

The kids and wife always leave this tablet as last, like it is spreading a disease... They always go for the android tablets (various nexusses, galaxy note). This wasn't the case with the Folio. That one was still used for netflix, or playing hay day :eek:

Trouble upgrading Toshiba Folio 100

Hello,

I have a couple of problems regarding upgrading my Folio 100 to Android 4.2.2.

First of all, the download links in the beginning of this thread don't work.

Secondly, I found another links from this site from where I was able to download necessary files to upgrade my Folio 100 2.2. system to 4.2.2. but no matter what I do, the outcome is the following:

E: Can’t mount DEFAULT_PATH

Finding update package

Opening update package

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Could somebody please help me?
[Folio 100 Android Development] miazza:
Nice to see someone is still flashing the Folio ... I will need to flash it again with 4.2.2. one (right now I'm using a more stable old rom that is not anymore compatible with youtube...).

Remember that with this ROM you will face a few problems that are quite annoying:

- WiFi out of range issue : for some reason once you are registered to your SSID the wifi goes out of range and you need to reboot till you are luky and wifi is again available

- SOD during std-by : once in std-by you cannot wake it up. This is nomething you can solve with an awake app.

Your problem seems related to the wrong recovery.

Follow the installation instruction:

1) Install the correct recovery using fastboot or zip file.

2) Copy everything on the the SD card and install the ROM using the recovery.

You must do a full wipe and format the data and media partition (/sdcard) before installing the ROM using CWM recovery.

Do a full wipe before installing this ROM the first time.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Bundestank:
Hi,

Thank you for a quick reply. I went through the steps you described with exactly the same results. First, the name of the zip file was cm-10.1-20140107-UNOFFICIAL-betelgeuse.zip but I had to rename it to update.zip.

From where could I download appropriate recovery file?

How about the ROM you are using?.
[Folio 100 Android Development] miazza:
You do not need to rename the zip (at least it is not necessary).

The file should be visible from recovery as it is.

Before of the ROM, there is a file called format.zip that is necessary to be run only once.

I do not know where to download original stuff.

Unfortunately in this period I am very busy but as soon as I have some time I can upload the material I have.

Right now I'm using TGfoliomod ... working well but almost not anymore compatible withe any app in the market.

I have been trying to play around with a recovery script (like the formatsd.zip in CM10 A3+) and using resize2fs, but no luck.

Probably it is also limited to the same 4Gb.

I don't know if there is a way to format/resize the filesystem outside android, apart from using NVFlash.

Maybe extracting an img from this partition, resize the imagefile on linux and push it back (not sure if fastboot can do this).

This could be possible because the partition is correct, only the filesystem is not (and even there is is mostly metadata that is wrong).

Reboot
[Folio 100 Android Development] matthewharmon102:

2. when sideloading zip, i just get device offline error. if i look at the list of devices (adb devices) i can see my device, but it says offline. how do i get the device online?

how do i boot recovery via fastboot? not heard of this before! (i guess its something like 'fastboot boot recovery')

Sideload works with previous recovery that can be booted by command: fastboot boot <image.img>

ok, got the image to boot and have transferred formatsd.zip. now if i do a format it doesnt show the /data error (the /sdcard/android.secure error is still there, but I dont have an SD card inserted)

now just transferring alpha2 to alpha 5. I guess after transferring alpha 5 I can then transfer 4.2.2 alpha 1 in the same way?
[Folio 100 Android Development] *Sami:
There is external and internal SD card - I assume You mean internal one. Anyhow, I prefer sideload as not only using this method one don't have to have an SD card, but it takes overall less time to push those commands instead of selecting update file, copying etc.

In terms of sideload - yes, although You will still have to follow installation steps (wiping etc.). Nevertheless, if You consider moving to 4.2 A1 - I personally suggest sticking to A5 (tablet UI, from my experience no SoD or keyboard spell-check issue).

Of course there are several bugs but it is an Alpha 1 (not even a Beta) ... if you use it you will need to accept bugs...

Most of the unofficial ROM on this forum have bugs that are never solved 100 %, this is some times because developers are not doing this for job but only as a Hobby ... just for fun...
