that slimport module is very poorly written. if you read the code, you'll see that even acer didn't know everything about that chip. there are comments about charging, screen flickering and whatnot bugs which they didn't fix.

also, the elan touchscreen is used by many notebooks, laptops and tvs, there should be some kind of source code.

another thing i found in bios is that supposedly otg is only enabled when you boot android
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
I know. If you disable that option in the bios, the screen goes black, it reboots and it is again on standard. We, would have to remove the chip if SlimPort doesn't give us drivers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
once i tried flashing bios from chuwi tablet. guess what, it just rebooted couple of times and it was like nothing happened, back to old bios.

acer put a lot of effort into not letting us boot anything than stock android.

i think that no matter how hard we try to boot any other os we won't be successful until there is no way for tablet to restore settings we changed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Flash bios again, after done, press (I think) f7 to open up boot menu. Mbe that works
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
pressed all the buttons, nothing.

i'll backup all partitions, wipe them clean and just flash back system and boot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:

Maybe that will work. It's almost the same bios.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
hmmm... it's newer version and that laptop doesn't have microusb port(?) so i could be left fu*ked with a paperweight.

i won't do anything radical to this tablet until i got myself another one, preferably shield tablet or nexus 9
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Yeah. Let's hope the support is helpful in both cases, or we have to use... "Harder methods"

(Hardware modding)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
i'll definitely use harder methods, just need to buy hot air soldering kit and that slimport is going down. and i could add standard usb port and use microusb just for charging.

i already added some homemade copper "heatsinks", applied thermal paste, installed L speed and my antutu scores are over 80k
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Or insert a switch, where you can switch manually between usb and charging mode.

There is a code for a device, using SlimPort. It's not our device, but it's code!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
if you download source code for our tablet on acer website, you'll get code for slimport

For those of you who are asking how I booted Linuxium, here are as far as I can recall:

Working Env: Linux Mint

Requirements: Know-how to mount IMG files (for windows 8 and above) can mount IMG drives

Know how to configure the grub.cfg file to load the ISO to RAM, yes please add "toram" in the MENU entries as well as NOMODSET

Patience

Steps:

Download the Linuxium "ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-linuxium.iso" I no longer have the direct link, but it is on my previous posts. Sorry. But you can try other Linux Distros, but expect that the Wifi and other Drives will not be working.

** if your tablet is working, then copy all the Linux ISO's to the Tablet (Media Partition) **

We can call these ISO's to load to RAM from the MEDIA PARTITION. Please see my reff Grub.cfg config file, also make sure that you Flash or FASTBOOT BOOT using my BootloaderG.img file.

menuentry "ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-linuxium.iso" {

insmod iso9660

loopback loop (hd0,gpt11)/media/0/ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-linuxium.iso

linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename="/media/0/ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-linuxium.iso" noeject noprompt toram i915.modeset=0 vga=current

initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz

If you wish to boot via USB, you can use "LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.4.exe" to create the BOOTABLE USB

* during boot, tap "e" to change the MENU "Start Live CD" and add the necessary configuration "toram i915.modeset=0 vga=current" and "nomodset" and remove "quite splash"

you will only need to edit one MENU Entry.

*toram enables Grub to Copy the ISO into the RAM and BOOT using it, so even if the USB is cut-off during the Pre-boot ENV, with the files from the RAM, you will have to wait maybe 5 mins and you will soon get into the Matte DESKTOP

Using Linuxium, I was able to get into the Matte Desktop, greeted with the Welcome Screen, Seen the Wifi, BT and SOund Icon. No Touch and NO USB of course.

BUT! if someone would be able to decompile the LIVE Linuxuim CD and integrate an X-Server and script that enables the tablet to any OPEN-WIFI and Connect :D then that would be a one-step forwards towards compiling the TOUCH and Slimport .c. .h modules within the Tablet.

This way, we can test the Drivers without Destroying the existing Andriod Env. Imagine the possibilities!

For further testing and hopefully we will be able to figure the ideal MENU Configuration within GRUB.cfg file, I am uploading my BOOTmanagerG.img which has the GRUB.EFI and ISO support. THis enables you to LOAD the ISO into the RAM and BOOT from it.

So there is no Harm in Flashing this img file as you can Flash the OEM BOOTLOADER after getting Tired of Testing this LOADER.

I have also added the MENU to BOOT to Android within the MENU. I'll sleep for now as it is already 1AM and uploading 100MB took me half an hour, so I figured, I will write the Instructions.

BootloaderG: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e99hr6qdtgcirmq/bootloaderG.img?dl=0

Grub.cfg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x171u79joo5owh7/GRUB.CFG?dl=0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
why load image to ram if it's already on the tablet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
It is needed, for some reason and it applies to either you booted using USB or you've flashed the custom Bootloader with the Grub.efi inside.

So for booting from USB. The power to USB is cut off during the Pre-Boot Env. So the ISO is rather saved to the RAM and the Grub.cfg calls the ISO from the Ram and not from the USB. Therefore the Linux Boots :D

For booting from the ISO coming from the Media (Flash) Partition. For some reason, the Grub.cfg config file cannot interpret or cannot Locate the ISO saved in the Media Partiotion during the Pre-Boot process.

The advantage of Flashing the BootloaderG.img to the BOOT partition is that you need not to have a Bootable USB and the OTG Cable is only for the KEYBOARD though it only works while you experiment and Work on getting the Right Combination while the Unit is in Grub Console (Terminal)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
what if we extract iso image to internal memory?

and did you see the lines in init.usb.rc? looks to me like they disabled usb through init file.

maybe if we flash linux zimage and ramdisk it could work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Hey everone! Got a new paperweight! It looks like an gaming tablet, got 4 speakers and wights 350g. I really enjoy the experience! :o

No, but now seriosly. Installing windows is bad for your tablet. As I said, the new windows 10 builds seem to have slimport drivers preinstalled, but in the installation, your device will crash and voila:

You have a paperweight! (anyone want it? its free)

Oh, and can you recommend a GOOD windows tablet for arround 300$? Will install android on it anyways, so id ownt have to deal with old versions. FVCK THIS DEVICE! :cowboy:

(dont try this at home, kids.)

NO, YOU CANT DO THAT OUT OF THE BOX: YOU NEED TO MODIFY WINDOWS 10 INSTALL USB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
which windows build? and what are your bios settings? i can't seem to boot windows anymore no matter which acpi version i select.

and how did you modify installation?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
I will only say that I downloaded the iso using the media creation tool. It will say boot error. Without mod. As I said, no further information. Never.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
oh, c'mon, don't be such a wuss, share your knowledge lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
No further info. It's very simple just need Notepad ++. But now, for real, no further Infos. I don't want you to have an beautiful paperweight like me. Lol. I maybe even screwed bios alongside with Windows coz after all I flashed an bios which wasn't meant for the device. Ups, more Infos..... But now, no more. Really. Don't even ask, or I will delete every post I made to this thread. I just don't want you to have an broken eMMC chip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
i bought shield tablet so i will experiment with acer. you can send me pm with all the info if you're scared for others tablets. i don't care for mine, really
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Ok. I think I know what is wrong. The battery was empty in the middle of installation. Because I disabled SecureBoot, the charging screen doesn't pop up. I noticed that because it vibrates a short amount of time when I plug it in to charge. Anyone knows solution? Bios reset didn't work, as the battery is empty.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
just connect tablet to charger, it will charge, no worries. leave it for half an hour then try again powering it up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Already tried. Maybe force charge battery? (Taking it out, plug it in and put it back in.)

Please give me an easy solution. My warranty expired a week ago. Lol bad luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
easy solution? nothing's easy with this tablet lol

but... buy yourself an otg cable, y-cable and connect everything to the tablet. to the end of y-cable connect firstly power and when tablet vibrates then connect keyboard
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Connect usb Cord, short circuit every pin of the usb, wait until it vibrazes, now it will vibrate till the infinity, disconnect usb, turn on and charge the tablet. I don't know how I found this solution. I have too much free time. ?

Does the tablet charge in Fastboot mode? Can't access anything else.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

It says now: CHARGING: waiting for the minimum battery level to enter requested mode - maybe because I installed Windows? If yes, ****.

Life hack: Burn windows iso to an micro SD card. I will try that now with my modified windows 10 install iso. If works, expect release soon.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

I got mail from Acer. They said, that the complete source code can't be released cause of legal issues. What a total bullsh***. They probably have something build in the device, what they are not adviced to release. HOWEVER, they did this:

-fixed Kernel source

-Saud, that skimpier drivers are included in the Intel driver. So, we are saved. We can now build an windows "tablet" without touch. Well, at least we have a laptop, like, thingy xD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
oi! can you share what you modified, now that you know it doesn't brick device? i wanna experiment with mine and you're keeping in info lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Didn't work. Sorry. It stopped working after the "brick". It's the same old issue like with every other iso. Micro SD card didn't work too, so, hard modding will be required.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
dang it. i'll try for weekend all the ideas i had. and i think that you can boot from microsd because bios shows it in boot manager. maybe it needs to have some special partition or file system to work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
NTFS and FAT32 doesn't work. I tried GPT Partition and MBR Uefi and bios partition in Rufus. Nit may options left.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Chooser features - USB settings - USB Vbus settings - other mode. Will force the skimpier chip to accept otg only till deativated. Can you try it out? If it doesn't work, just reflash theOS in zero, which will reset bios settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
How far where you able to go with the Windows 10 installation?

If you've gone past accepting the Language selection, then that means you've hooked it up with a USB Hub KB and Mouse :D -- so Slimport is supported.

Careful with overwriting the Secured boot embedded Keys. As well as formatting and partioning the EMMC, I would highly recommend to skipped overwriting both the BOOTMANGER and Recovery Partion, its the best means of Recovering back to Stock.

Hopefully, someone would be able to upload a video of a working Pre-Install Env. We'll stop with the Pre-install Env and rather create a Win-PE based of Win10 (BOOT.WIM) to where we can embed a driver for the Touch. If we do, then we can Embed the same Driver to the main Installer (Setup.wim) please keep me posted.

I am able to easily Boot Latest Ubuntu/Mint Linux (I bet any ISO will do) to the device, except, no USB/Touch Support Still.

Via hijacking the Bootloader :D

.:
Android.efi(originaly bootx64) EFI Fastboot.efi(originally loader.efi)
loader.efi manifest.txt recovery.efi sl_vmm.efi zImage

./EFI:
BOOT ubuntu

./EFI/BOOT:
Androidx64.efi bootx64.EFI fbx64.efi

./EFI/ubuntu:
BOOTX64.CSV fw fwupx64.efi grub.cfg grubx64.efi loopback.cfg mmx64.efi shimx64.efi

I copied the Grub-EFI into the Bootloader.img file and reconfigured (bootloader)/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg file as detailed below:

if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=auto
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod gfxterm
terminal_output gfxterm
fi

set menu_color_normal=white/black
set menu_color_highlight=white/blue
set timeout=5

menuentry "Linux Mint Live ISO" {
set isofile="/media/0/linuxmint.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,gpt11)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile} nomodeset
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

I also tried setting up EFI Chainloads but results to reboot

menuentry "Android-EFI" {
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod fat
insmod chain
chainloader /Android.efi
}

menuentry "recovery" {
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod fat
insmod chain
chainloader /recovery.efi
}

menuentry "fastboot" {
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod fat
insmod chain
chainloader /fastboot.efi
}

I simply copied the Linux.iso into the /media folder/ using file manager.

Notice the location of the ISO file: /media/0/linuxmint.iso

See result below.

Has anybody tried compiling the kernel from acer sourcecode?

I tried to compile the TouchPad (out of tree) ekth.c and slimport but stuck on wake_lock.

There's a way to convert wake_lock for full linux but the Hw also relies on I2C + regulator GPio.

I found a kingston 2gig MicroSD card with a USB thumbdrive adapter. So Cool! I can stick the MicroSD card in the thumbdrive, plug it into my PC, copy all the files onto it, take the MicroSD out of the thumbdrive, and stick it, full of music and files, directly into my phone.

No more activesyncing to my phone's main memory then dragging to the MicroSD card!

Anyway, this seems like the perfect solution if you need a 2 gig MicroSD and a super easy way to fill it up. Kingston is a good brand and $19 shipped is a decent price for 2 gigs including the adapter. Go for it!

$19 at Meritline link

I realize that 2 gigs may be too small for many of you, but it sure is a memory upgrade if you are still using that tiny 512meg card that comes with it!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RuffAmbassador:
I'm getting an S8 on Monday and planning on rooting it and using custom ROMS. The phone will is on contract and I'm worried about it getting bricked and having to pay it off. Is it common for the S8 to get bricked + is it guaranteed to be able to unbrick it if it does? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Mostly it is possible to unbrick the device, but the main issue is when users install Custom Rom, it will trip KNOX and if you would need to send the device in for repair to Samsung, they will see it. Don't know if there is a solution to reset KNOX.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Weblet:
As Charkatak pointed out, it's not possible to reset Knox; once tripped.

In regards to your question, you may experience a bootloop if it's your first time rooting but, it's incredibly easy to get out of said situation: if you follow various rooting / TWRP guides properly and know a thing or two using ODIN (Flashing Tool).

Simply put, it's very hard to completely brick the phone to a point of no return.
