hi,

more than 100 sites to read, i having an Odys Genesis and want to know which rom is the best for it?

Actually i'm using "dar237prev4.img" but the unit will be freeze every 20 -30 minutes. Reflashed, same.

If it is possible than please give me a link for download a newer or better rom which match for Odys Genesis.

Thanks in advance. Regards,

It is the latest firmware bq Darwin, Android version 2.2.1, Kernel version 2.6.25, Build number froyo 1.00. Changed default language to English and launcher to launcher pro. I rkDecrypt the system.img and removed some apps that I do not use and gmail so it could be downloaded from market and updated. It has the latest youtube for rockchip which works well in hidef. The rockchip audio and video both work fine, supports mp3 audio mp4 video. I like the onscreen controls for sound volume. Comes with ebook reader for pdf, I use coolreader for other formats. The only thing to do is get root, try for three days but no success yet. If you can help it would be welcome.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I will look into it. I have not much experience in rooting, but I will give it a try.

You have taken the wrong image. It is for prestigio 3084b. Try better this one:

Gingerbread 2.37 for next3, pmp3084 and genesis with launcher pro

On the back where it says reset is a small hole. Use toothpick or paperclip to reset, did you use RKAndroidBatchUpgrade to flash upgrade?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobsoe:
did the reset and nogo. I did the flash by placing the update.img file on the internal ram and disconnecting the USB.

I did just download the RKUtil.zip. So I do have those file now, but that's post-facto.

I assume that I could use the RK files to reflash. correct?

will froyo v5 work with the guide and tools?

Remember that the tablet is stuck on the boot screen and will not got fully into android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobsoe:
IT WORKS!

I did use Froyo v5.

and the Firmware upgrade SOP.doc was awesome.

I can say it's a whole hell of a lot easier than ODIN for my vibrant.

It's almost as easy as the SD CM7 for my Nook color.

THANKS!!!

i cant get root write access...

when i turn on host mode using USBModeSwitch... i dont get any device driver installation... and noting shows up in device manager... after a restart the USBModeSwitch settings gets rested...

also i m keep getting #su binary outrated msg in notification bar... seems like permissions issue again since i cant update neither i can get rid of this message... it comes backup after a restart

i did use adb to force install apps b4 but since i cant connect this bq rom to my pc... i cant use adb...

ill reflash original rooted rom see if that still gives me correct permission...

ill keep you updated...

yesterday that 2.3 just freezed...needed to push reset button again...

i cannot edit build.prop, cause i can't mount /system as R/W so it needs new build, i will try to build something after i finish all exams...

i like stock rom, but i want volume controls like froyo v5, and working market and root, so i will try to do something based on prestigio stock rom

or maybe best thing would be 2.2 with all apps from stock rom

but i have to pass my exams first...

JDfense, here is the original 2.2_Darwin_update.img. http://www.mediafire.com/?wtb3f6bw4wno62a and here is the kitchen I use to cook. RKcooking, uzip to c:\ http://www.mediafire.com/?boany11gi9vb6lz I am new to android and all help is appreciated.

Thanks, stevemp

In RKcooking put img to be modified in rombase, run RKcooking.bat, follow instructions, finished img is in cookedrom.

with external SD all apps works fine.

but in BQ Voltaire firmware apps works with internal SD.

yes, i flashed with RKAndroidBatchUpgrade 1.23

if auto-rotation is active, screen rotation reversed. in portrait orientation screen rotate to landscape and conversely. if turn off auto-rotation, screen switch to landscape orientation. i use Orientation Control utility for manual switching screen orientation.

calibration and screen size - ok

don't work license validation in some paid apps (gReader Pro, Virtual Button Bar, Fancy Widgets)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Try to add this lines in in the built.prop:

accelerometer.flip_xy=1

You have this line inside my rom:

accelerometer.invert_x=1

Hopefully both lines together solve your rotation issue.

The part with your internal and external memory I don't understand. You can install all apps on SDcard, but not on the internal 4GB:confused::confused::confused:. This is normally vice versa. When this is true, then put in a 16GB card and install nearly the hole market. :D;):D

Device: Next3

Rom:Prestigio PMP3084B firmware 2.1.2

Firmware: BQ Voltaire

Flashed Prestigio PMP3084B firmware 2.1.2 (russian version converted to eng)

Then when it was about to bootup i pressed down the down key... and got into bootloader mode... then flashed the BQ Voltaire firmware from Gingerbread 2.37 v8 based on DaremoS gingerbread

video works awsome on this now...

i played a 1280 x 720 Pigeon.Impossible.2009.mkv file and i was shocked with the result... also plays mp4 and 3gp files

music player plays wav and mp3

youtube plays hq...

market works...

has full root...changed keyboard layout... soft_left to volume up, soft_right to volume down...

i got 1 forceclose on launcher... but i didnt look much into it yet...

ill post back later...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Hi stevemp,

I have your rom running on my odys genesis with a few changes since yesterday and it works fine. I took out your launcher 2 and replace it with launcher pro, because I got a boot loop.:confused: I add googlemail, su and superuser.apk for rooting your rom. I'm not shure about the result. Youtube crashes often, because it is an old version and a market update does not succeed. I have to replace youtube in the rom.

One thing is really strange in your rom: It is about 100MB, my rom with googlemail and superuser about 102MB.Okay so fare, but the original has 98MB and your rom seems to be stripped - very small, because there are only a half desktop with apps. I'm searching for the hidden megabytes.:rolleyes::eek:

In the evening I compare the original rom with your rom. Maybe I find some knowledge.:)

I have to mention sometimes that I look in android first time in August 2011 and I don't know linux. I'm more familiar with windows. What is the message in here? I'm no developer, I'm an amateur cooker and I have another profession in real life.So we have both a lot to learn from the devs and from eachother.

Thanks for your rom riddle. I will try to solve it.

JDfense
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
It is strange about the bootloop, works perfect on Next3. Maybe try using kernel from dar237v8.img, it is smaller than the one on my rom. I tried using kernel from my rom on dar237v8.img and had some errors with it even though it says same ver. Like you this is hobby for me and a chance to learn from others.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
When I understand you right, then you have solved the audio problem in the DaremoS gingerbread with the voltaire kernel?

But the voltaire is 7'' kernel. Is the screen of the next3 correct sized and calibrated? And what about the rotation Mr. Philiadelphia?:D:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
lol i guess i solved the audio problem :S :D

looks great cant tell a difference... looks like kernel does not affect screen resolution...

it seems calibrated... used the calibration wizard... worked fine...

i used the tablet for like an hr after flashing... tried installing droid wall that kinda didnt work and messed up the market...

rotation seems fine... ill re test in a bit and let you know...

i was just playing with your v8... will try to flash it today... see if its any better for next3...

question...? if it works can i post it here ? :S

what's the rules of posting other people roms(edited) here?

also i think i figured why dont i get root access on v8...(that's what i was trying to fix)

...

ill keep you updated...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
There are no rules as long the sheriff with the power drinks do not come over here. :D:D:D

Our thread founder from connecticut has left the thread. Now we are without any Alpha-man, but we have our Mr. GingerDev from Santiago, our wise guy DaremoS.

I think - post it as fast as you can. Everybody wants the best gingerbread we can cook.:)

The only rule that I try to follow is to respect the work of others.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
You'll never have root write access in a RK2818 device :(

This is because Rockchip RK2818 is based on a NON WRITABLE system, like are the memory of automated devices (Electronic games like Nintendo, a DVD, a watch, etc).

CRAMFS memory, as are called this type of memory, have lots of benefits like its to be really safe, cheap, non volatile. This spoils a little some applications of android which write directly in the memory.

Anyway writing of memory, like it's updating of applications, are treated in a different way in CRAMFS, like to write in adjacent writeable sectors.

An example of this is when an application is updated will appear in a folder called /data in directory /app instead of /system/app... take a look in your device :)

For this reason we, those we are managing ROM, work with them outside of the device, normally a PC, and then we transfer the modified ROM into the CRAMFS in the device.

Good night and happy wedding!!

PS.: I've posted here some ROM which are writeable. Unfortunately this ROMS are not so reliable as it's a normal CRAMFS.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
This is true. I had only seen 2.6.25 kernels for rk2818 tablets. Do you know a source with a higher source for rk2818?

You can edit the built.prop only outside of your tablet, like DaremoS mentioned before

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
JDfense thanks for your new rom, but i really have to study now so for now i will stick with stock, and if everything goes well, i will try it on tuesday, but i like prestigio rom much, so i think i will try to modify official prestigio 2.2 rom for 3084 to have my resolution and working market and root

but since this is my first android i would like some advice on how to make market working (i think i found something about how to make rom rooted, but haven't tried yet), or even better - some webpage about making custom roms with detailed info about where to find resolution and so...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
I have Next3 and it's very stable with stock launcher, already rooted froyo firmware. Music, video and youtube all work fine. Stock launcher has folders on home screen for apps, only time I see that.

stevemp

I am going to try your rom also, sounds interesting.

Video played fine, here is one to try also, Alice 1008 * 576 30 fps http://www.mediafire.com/?c6exeu8rz3se2zr

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
@stevemp and heart_crafter

If I followed your conversation right, then you are both back to eclair.:D

Or are you kidding? Is there a reason to go back to the stoneage?:p

There are a lot of nice froyo roms for fully stable work.

What about your announcement with gingerbread, heart_crafter?

I'm still looking into the very fast Darwin froyo. Rooting is more complicated as I thought.:eek::(. I don't need it rooted, but I don't give up so fast.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
Eclair vs Froyo

No, haven't given up on Gingerbread or Darwin. Just taking a little break, spent five days on Darwin and learned a lot, even tried mounted the img in linux and rooting it that way. Maybe if I step back and start fresh see what I'm doing wrong. I think maybe the kernel needs mod if gingerbread is to be fully functional, wayyyy beyond my talents. I can read and write scripts a little bit, but that's my limit until I know more.

In system/fonts/adobefonts there are 32 m, that's the reason img is so big.

i feel like when i run newer version of android on next3 i lose performance...

it's like running windows 7 on a win9x machine... (sorry i dont have much linux experience) lol

i was just trying to get full root access to figure out more...

im very new to this cooking/modding apks... just learning... i need to figure out what i need to edit framework apk...

and going back isnt messing up anything... and it's actually really stable

even though i dont do much when i have root... it's just that i like unrestricted access on anything i own.

i did made a gingerbread bq one with ... but since i dont have a full root access i didnt feel like posting it...

im gona try flashing bq firmware on this eclair rom.. and see if i lose root access...

then if i do lose it then ill try to figure out how to actually root lol

alot of learning ahead lol :D if i keep getting encouragment from you guys lol :D

Update: Ok i didnt lose root write access when i changed the firmware...

time to figure out how to root :D

I just went back to stone age. :(

I tried Daremos and JDefense Gingers, and three diferent Froyos but every single one of them suffered from Sleep of Death problem (waking up from standby randomly).

Since I use my Prestigio for ebooks mostly, I decided to go back to good old Eclair.

But I am open to experimentation. Does anybody know of a Froyo ROM for PMP3084 that does not suffer from SOD problem?

Anyway, thanks for all the great ROMs! My USB cable is still hot from constant flashing.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Thanks for feedback. With DaremoS gingerbread and modded prestigio froyo I got no SOD's. Only the fun_stuff based hvdwolf gingerbread has SOD's on my genesis. Have you tried the versions in my signature?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rfjbikini:
Hello, I've tried all the roms, but with no WiFi, it is "scaning" and can not find any network. As I can cook a room with wpa_suplicant file changed? I have a tablet Wolder mitabfun (like a Next2). Thank you.

Here is a hint on an archos rom that works possible good on the next2. If your tablet is very similar, then maybe you will get a froyo.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jozomafijozo:
I did, and beta of Prestigio Froyo v3.04, also.

Got SOD on everything but Eclair.

And I am not the only one with PMP3084 getting SOD with Froyo and GB.

Maybe thats why Prestigo Froyo has been in beta for five months now and shows no signs of ever becoming official.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rfjbikini:
I followed your post of the rom (bq voltaire rooted) that there is no wifi does not work, it is "scanning" is not wifis. dar237v8 the rom works perfectly everything except the wifi is also scanning.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
It seems that you have not the same wlan hardware or you need different adjustments. This could be a very tricky job. You have to compare your stock rom with the bq rom(not archos, my fault). Better you try to find a tablet with the same hardware and a froyo rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rfjbikini:
All roms perfect,only the tablet stay "scanning wifi", think problem is hardware tablet.

Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
One last hint. Don't search for a next2 similar rom, because I have seen that your mitab fun is a 8,4'' tablet, next 2 is 7''.

Your tablet is similar by example to next 3/pmp304b/odys genesis/darwin. I don't understand, why no rom around fits for your tablet, but it could be the wlan hardware. So you have to use your mitab fun stock kernel for any rom built. I have searched for your firmware and find nothing. It would be better had you buyed the mitab fun station.:(:D

Hello folks!

I've been reading up on this post and a few others that were linked, I think I got the steps down correctly and I'm still having a problem, maybe someone can help?!?!?

I'm trying to root a Nextbook2, I've downloaded the BQ image file, needed drivers and the RKAndroidBatch Upgrade.

I'm 99.9% certain I've successfully updated the drivers needed for the NEXT2 to be recognized by my PC (W7), using the authors instructions below:

-start RKAndroidBatchUpgrade>>>>CHECK

-in the program window a green box should appear>>>>>NOT GETTING ANY GREEN BOX ANYWHERE

-click on the button (...) right of image box and select the firmware image (.img)>>>>>CHECK

-click upgrade>>>>>I GET AN ERROR

What gives?!?!?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I think you miss to set your next 2 in the flash mode, with pressing Down/menu and then power button together. After ca. 5 sec. your will see the green light, when you have installed the usb driver for Rk28xx correctly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
I don´t think the problem is in the kernel. I use my own original kernel in DaremoS's rom (Yarvik TAB210, 7") and i still have the problem. I use Mortplayer now because that player does work, it's stable and it's fast. The problem has to be somewhere else, logcat shows errors when playing audio with winamp or any other player that i can't trace to it's source. I've got the feeling that it has to do with the CyanogenMod parts...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xfbo:
Thanks for the quick reply JD, I'm about 100% positive it's a driver issue. One thing I noticed is I cant go plugging in the USB cable unless I'm already holding down the right button, otherwise it starts booting up on its own.....don't ask me how many times it took me to figure this out! LOL.....Anyhow, while holding the right button down I plug in the USB cable then I hear the little chime in Windows and I see it come up on the Device Manager, once I find the recommended driver linked below, all seems to be fine (no yellow yields in the Device Manager) but when I fire up the BatchUpgrade tool I get no green box. I did notice if I let the reader fire up, the box that supposed to be green turns pink....not sure if that has any meaning????

I'm using the one recommended by a member over at the Archos forum> http://www.arctablet.com/assets/tools/Firmware/Rockchip_CPU_based/W9_0.18.20101201.214043.zip.

Has anyone successfully used W7 to flash the NEXT2???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I'm not shure and I can't prove it, but I've read before that the next2 is a rk2808 tablet and not a rk2818. If yes then you can't flash with the rkbatchupgrade1.23

Maybe this one will do the trick.

http://code.google.com/p/apad-irobot/downloads/detail?name=RKAndroidBatchUpgrade1.1EN.zip&can=4&q=

Good luck. Next time buy a better supported tablet.:D
