[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
A little bit of progress: After doing some digging, it seems like the main reason that the recovery image isn't booting is because the partition sizes are not set properly in BoardConfig.mk. Now I'm not entirely sure what they're supposed to be, either decimal or hex (they look like hex).

root@android:/ # cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

31 0 4096 mtdblock0
31 1 8192 mtdblock1
31 2 16384 mtdblock2
31 3 32768 mtdblock3
31 4 65536 mtdblock4
31 5 524288 mtdblock5
31 6 4096 mtdblock6
31 7 1048576 mtdblock7
31 8 6172672 mtdblock8

root@android:/ # cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00004000 "misc"
mtd1: 00800000 00004000 "kernel"
mtd2: 01000000 00004000 "boot"
mtd3: 02000000 00004000 "recovery"
mtd4: 04000000 00004000 "backup"
mtd5: 20000000 00004000 "cache"
mtd6: 00400000 00004000 "kpanic"
mtd7: 40000000 00004000 "system"
mtd8: 178c00000 00004000 "userdata"

Here is my BoardConfig.mk with my edits. I took the info from /proc/mtd to find what I hope is the correct partition size. Maybe someone with a little more dev skill can help me here.

USE_CAMERA_STUB := true

# inherit from the proprietary version
-include vendor/foxconn_international_holdings_limited/rct6378w2/BoardConfigVendor.mk

TARGET_ARCH := arm
TARGET_NO_BOOTLOADER := true
TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM := unknown
TARGET_CPU_ABI := armeabi-v7a
TARGET_CPU_ABI2 := armeabi
TARGET_CPU_VARIANT := cortex-a9
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT := armv7-a-neon
ARCH_ARM_HAVE_TLS_REGISTER := true

TARGET_BOOTLOADER_BOARD_NAME := rct6378w2

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE :=
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x
BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE := 2048

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x010000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x020000
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x40000000
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x178c00000
BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072

TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := device/foxconn_international_holdings_limited/rct6378$

BOARD_HAS_NO_SELECT_BUTTON := true

I am confident that if we can get those partitions right and pull off a successful build, it will be bootable. One other note, I guessed at the value for BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE := 2048

That's a pretty standard pagesize but may potentially be something else.

tried building but ran into this error at compile:

build/core/Makefile:125: *** BUILD_FINGERPRINT cannot contain spaces: "RCA/cm_RCT6378W2/RCT6378W2:4.2.2/JDQ39E/(stdin)= 2:userdebug/test-keys". Stop.

a little help here?

I'm really glade it work , I know and hate the really of possibly losing s device do to bricking.

[MENTION=228568]noob[/MENTION]-un-2 that last mtd8 partition has a letter in it so I'm sure its hexadecimal . I use hex a lot. At first everything else lood regular decimal till I saw that, I agree with you I also believe fixing the part I on size and or location in nand will get a working recovery. As for the space in the rc name make sure it dosent have any chinese characters in the name or edit it an notepad ++ or other advanced text editor

Hope thibackups,

Also any one wanting to make a full nandroid back up with out the custom recovery in the mean time can use online nandroid backup from the play store. Just in case you need a back up. The only use I had was having my stock recovery save , then used the did command noob-un-2 posted to flash back after the custom recovery did not work
[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
That's what I was thinking. It would be nice if there was another rk30sdk based Android tablet that was already running cyanogenmod. Then I could reference their .mk files to get a good idea of what these values need to be, but since none exists yet I'm in trial and error mode for the foreseeable. Which rc file are you talking about editing?

Okay, we may have a problem. In creating a CM recovery image, it exceeds the partition size given to us. I'm still creating it anyways, and we can try flashing it, but I may need to figure out how we resize all the partitions to make room.

[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
Not without rebuilding the ENTIRE system, and that means we need access to the full source. funny because my builds so far have all been too small. The stock recovery is about 33 MB, but the builds I've generated so far have only been around 9MB.
[General Questions and Answers] Inari-IX:
androtab(dot) info/clockworkmod/rockchip/

Would that work as a rk30sdk ref?
[General Questions and Answers] giveen:
Yeah, if stock recovery is 33MB then my 11MB build should easily fit in there.

Have you tried my build yet? I'm not using the CWM builder bot, I'm building from my sources that are on my github with some adjustments based off your values.

My brain is screaming for me to build a full rom but first we need that recovery built. Has anyone flashed it yet?

[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
Highest score I could get. I'm curious about what other people are scoring.
[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
I am at work. Will take a crack at flashing it when I get home, but I'm not optimistic. Apparently, what we need to do at this point is:

1) determine the proper block size. Assuming it's 1024, but it could be 512 or 2048.

2) we need to take the number of blocks indicated in the value on /proc/partitions, then match those to which partition they are as stated in /proc/mtd. Multiply the number of blocks by block size to get size. 1024 makes sense because if partition 3 (/dev/block/mtdblock3) is 32768 blocks of 1024 bytes, that equals 32,768 KB or EXACTLY 32 MB, which is the size of the recovery.img dump.

3) and this is the part that I am NOT familiar with. It would seem based on all of the examples of BoardConfig.mk files I've seen that that number needs to be converted into hexadecimal format, prefixed by 0x. I am not sure what the proper way to convert this number is. And WHICH value needs to be converted to hex? the size in bytes, kilobytes or megabytes?

When I ran the build with the values I copied from /proc/mtd the my build failed because the resulting recovery.img was too big for the partition.

So... we know how to calculate the partition size. Now we need to know what format it needs to be written in. Wish there were similar devices running Cyanogenmod already.

Found this:

https://github.com/jin-eld/cm_rk3066_ventos97/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk

looks like the values are written in decimal?

I used a tool I found called 'unmkbootimg' that does basically the same thing as unpackbootimg but it can grab things like kernel make time compile flags and flash memory offsets. i made some modifications to mkbootimg with the information I gathered and I am now trying to build again. As near as I can tell, the decimal values worked because it stopped spitting out build errors about the partition being too big, but so far no luck in building a bootable recovery.

Sorry tipaklong1 I was not ignoring you I had composed my comment about 10 minuts before you posted yours and then i finally submitted mine after making sure i got it right.

you may to wait till if or when we ever create a custom recovery. stock will not let us flash non signed and signed with test key files.

you should still be able to get to abd mode and push the original file back. what model tablet do you have.

I have the RCT6378W2 dual core .

If its any help, it looks like RCA's tablet division is owned by Venturer Electronics. So you might try contacting them for the source for these tablets. Also, I believe that they legally HAVE to make the source available under GPL law.

I just got my kindle and didn't like the kindle fire hd os so i tryed to get it to an android os. I followed this guys video and it worked so far until i got the the twrp recovery:(:(:(:(. i did the command fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot and it shut down but never rebooted. Plz help!!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
More details please, though I'm guessing based on what happened you flashed the wrong bootloader in fastboot then rebooted. If that's the case it is hard bricked. But more details will be helpful to diagnose this to make sure, like what commands you ran or what exactly you did.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotdjman:
More details

here are some more details:

-I was watching a video on how to change the os on the kindle fire hd 8.9 inch and I thought it would work on kindle fire hd 7" and everything did work even the fastboot or something like that pooped on the screen while i was doing some commands. Then when i did the command for the fastboot reboot it turned of and never came on. I tried many ways of getting it back on like holding the power button for 20 seconds and then trying to turn it back on. Then i thought it might still be running so I thought that maybe leaving it without a charge for a while would do it and so far nothing. I started this yesterday and yesterday was when it stopped working. Still haven't charged it yet. Also is there anyway for my kindle to be restored and back to normal with that kind of hard brick. (i am a noob at this :D) Thx for your response!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You hard bricked you're tablet. There is no recovery for this at this time. The ROM's are specific for the model and firmware.

Also thanks for your help!:)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
The factory cables help with soft bricked Kindle's. You can get a cord and try it if you want. Flahing a Jem to a Tate is almost a sure hard brick. If you plug your tablet via USB into your PC, look in the device drivers area on your PC, do you see "OMAP" anywhere?

Do you mean device manager, if so i don't see that there, and hard brick means its dead and ill have to buy a new one right?

I have just updated my tab to the above and have to admit I am largely unimpressed therefore thought it might be a good time to root and try some custom Roms (as I had to when I had the same problem with my HTC ONE S).

Is it still done the same way as I would have on 4.2.1 (or whatever I was on)?

As for the update I don't mind it too much it's just the lag and the seemingly worse battery life, I suppose I would rather have the old tool bar and task bar too but hey Ho, at least the keyboard seems more responsive.
