It was done in a hurry and all of the files for the Gapps are already in the rom but, obviously, i've messed up something and it doesn't work...

If I find some xtra time i'll try to fix it... ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lomby:
Yes, but the one I'm talking about is for the Next2, which is on the first page. And that's what I'm using, the custom ROM listed at the start of this thread. So what do I do to flash THIS tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Flashing Next2

So afaik, your device has RK2808 chipset and as such you have to use the flash tool for that chipset. I have uploaded flash tools for it in one of the previous posts (post #527).

The only downside is that is on chinese language by default so you'll have to change it manually to english (it's located in settings.ini).

Just open it with the notepad or similar and replace it all with this code:

[DEVICE_ID]
VID=0x071B
PID=0x3228

[MSC_ID]
VID=0x071B
PID=0x3203

[SYSTEM]
LANGUAGE=English
SUPPORTUSB11=0
LOG=ENABLE

[FLASH]
Loader_Path=..\rockdev\Rock28Boot(L).bin
Parameter_Path=..\rockdev\parameter
Misc_Path=..\rockdev\image\misc.img
Kernel_Path=..\rockdev\image\kernel.img
Boot_Path=..\rockdev\image\boot.img
Recovery_Path=..\rockdev\image\recovery.img
System_Path=..\rockdev\image\system.img
Backup_Path=..\rockdev\image\update.img

Parameter_Offset=0x00000000
Misc_Offset=0x00001000
Kernel_Offset=0x00002000
Boot_Offset=0x00005000
Recovery_Offset=0x00007000
System_Offset=0x0000a000
Backup_Offset=0x00028000

[NFS]
Loader_Path=..\rockdev\Rock28Boot(L).bin
Parameter_Path=..\rockdev\parameter-nfs
Kernel_Path=..\rockdev\image\kernel.img

Parameter_Offset=0x00000000
Kernel_Offset=0x00002000

[RAM]
Loader_Path=..\rockdev\Rock28Boot(L).bin
Parameter_Path=..\rockdev\parameter-ram
Kernel_Path=..\rockdev\image\kernel.img

Parameter_Offset=0x60000800
Kernel_Offset=0x60008000
RootFS_Offset=0x62000000

After that, hit save button and run the RKAndroidTool normally.

Hope that helps...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lomby:
Then I flash update.img?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Yes, but before that you must install the drivers for the RK2808 chipset.

They are included within the zip file i've mensioned b4.

REMEMBER: You do this at your own risk! You can brick your tablet if you flash the wrong image to it! Always double-check what you've downloaded!

on the first page is a next 2 rom, what is it? i have a next 2 that came with 2.1 is the posted rom a stripped of bloatware version?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
I think RKAndroidDM for RK2808 is better(more easy) for most people. RKAndroidTool uses unpacked files. it may need to set correct offset.

RKAndroidTool (for both RK2808/2818) is very useful for some purpose e.g. flashing boot.img and system.img only.

Hello! Is there any way to activate usb port for use with BT usb key on PMP3084b with froyo installed?

Thanks, Bojan
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
There is no so much information about use of USB OTG port.

With froyo v5 you have the chance to put USB in Host mode.

From that point ahead you will have to research by yourself... maybe there is an application which deals with that.

In setting can be read the followinh:

HOST MODE

Select usb work as host mode, then you can mount U-disk or 3G modules

Bricked my Next3

Does anyone know of a way of UNBRICKING a Next3 Tablet? This one won't respond to anything. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Unbrick??

Well, i have unbricked my tablet with the following method:

'Bring it back to the retailer and say it blacked out!'

Worked for me... :D

Joke aside, you have most probably flashed wrong firmware (ROM) to your Next3.

This has caused damage to the recovery system of your tablet and therefore it cannot boot up or even allow re-flashing it in conventional way.

Some folks have resolved this by opening the device housing and sticking a needle to short-circuit the nand flash chip...

I really recommend the first method (Take it to the retailer and play dumb...)

Next time whe you're flashing FW double check what you have downloaded and be sure it is made for your device (Next3, Genesis, PMP3084, M901)!

Hi

I got a next2 the other day , I be trying to use the rom by delimeat52, i cant make this tablet to update the rom, first i try to put the rom in the root of the sdcard that did nothing, second I use the tool RKAndroidBatchUpgrade.exe i load the driver everything fine but everytime i execute the program he not detect my tablet and keep slot1 gray not green color.

What i doing wrong? Please Help

Thank you

P.S - I try in 3 different computer one with windows 7 and the other 2 with xp.

Using upgrade tool Rk2818

I'm not shure, but maybe you will need a Key-combination on your next 2 to connect the RkAndroidbatchupgrade-Tool with your tablet(green light).

On my odys genesis i have to press and hold menu-Button, then the on/off switch, holding both together about 10 sec. and then I get my green light.:cool:

Okay, short description for the upgrade RK2818:

- Install 281xDriver

- connect tablet with usb

- shut down tablet

- start RKbatchupgrade

- press Menu and then on/off button, hold it together about 10 sec.

----green light will be on ?

---If yes, your tablet is waiting for the flash upgrade

--- then select firmware/rom in the flashtool

--- finally start upgrade and wait until you your new rom/firmware has started complete (about 5 minutes for flashing, deleting memory an booting new)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] estugarda:

now i have another problem i did the update count said Upgrade end, 1 OK, 0 Fail, but my next2 don't go to the recovery system i be waiting already for 20 minutes and nothing, and don't wanna turn on neither, the only stuff let me do is flash the rom again with RKAndroidBatchUpgrade.exe.

Please Help?

Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
If you get the message 1ok, 0fail, then the Ubgrade/update has finished complete without error. Your tablet should start the recovery. If not, I would try another rom or at first back to the original firmware for safe.

Mr.Grimmer

Mr.Grimmer,

Hi, I've read and followed your progress and also the others here. I can't get past 1st base with my Next2. The instructions obtained from the 1st post are very good, but I don't know which button to use for the "Page Down" button described there. I have tried both of the obvous ones, but it doesn't ask me to install the USB driver in either case (I'm in Win7). If I knew for sure which button to use, it would certainly help!

Since you were able to use this procedure successfully with a Next2, could you please enlighten me?

Also, there are some posts that refer to putting the update.img file on external sd and "update". How does one "update"?

This sounds very ignorant as I write it. I am familiar with many procedures like this with different types of electronics, but ... Can you or someone help?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seven64:
Ok, I am getting very confused on what my tablet has on it. It is a nextbook next2, but when I got it the tablet was running Android 2.1. All i can find is the next2's running 1.5/1.6. Also, when i check the device info, the OS version has a part that says rockchip 281x version release v1.08(archos). the hardware is a rk28board, and the build platform is a rk2808sk. I thought it was a rk2808 device, but why is the OS for the 281x?

the build ID is 2.0.4.ECLAIR.eng.root.20110106.171334

it also says that the processor is an ARM926Ej-S Rev 5 (v5l)

I have it rooted on z4root, and have unpacked the boot.img and update.img files to my SD card but cannot get any further

is this tablet just a lost cause? i would love to upgrade to 2.2 I have read about flashing the archos firmware onto it, but i cannot ever get a windows computer to install the correct drivers. my personal computer is on ubuntu, so not all of the programs can run in wine, not to mention i have no idea how to get my computer to recognize it. is there a way to use my sudo root in ubuntu to gain access to the tablet and uncompress the cramfs system to my computer as a whole?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seven64:
apparently you are supposed to be able to put the update.img file onto an sd card, and when inserted into your tablet it will auto update. every single image i have tried (10+) has failed with a message that says it has detected an incorrect boot image and asks if i want to delete it.

i unpacked my stock update.img from my next2 onto my sd card and was getting pretty far in the terminal before things went wrong. somehow i got the file mixed up and tried to use it as an upgrade (i put it in the wrong folder on my computer i later learned) and was really surprised when my tablet told me it had found a valid boot image and asked if i wanted to update. i obviously hit yes, and that was the only time i have gotten this tablet successfully into a stable f-boot. it was all on autorun, but it was cool to see that the device can do it. when it was finished installing and booted back up, it was completely back to stock and i realized what i had done.

i am currently experimenting with flashing different 7" tablet clockworkmods onto it to see if i can get it to boot into a stable recovery. i was just trying random phones at first, but it would always freeze at the recovery screen. it is a little strange because i can reset it from this screen by pressing the right arrow for about 1/2 a second, which i think may be a clue on how to get this M#$@F2#$@ into hboot. i have been failing with this thing for about 2 weeks now, but i have no previous experience and really have almost no idea what i am doing.

ill update if i can find a stable recovery

**edit for above - i cant attach the stock update.img file, but if you PM me your email I can send you the update.img and boot.img stock files off of my next2

Prestigio has released firmware 2.1.14 for PMP3084B, only on autoupdate currently as there is no sign of it on their site yet, and it has working market app included, can't see much difference with 2.1.13 otherwise.

Arnova 84 is same as Yifang M901 i.e. same as Prestigio PMP3084B, Nextbook Next3, Odys Genesis etc. So you can use any of the firmwares found in this thread for these devices, most of them are linked to in the first post.

bash/nano: how to enter control characters on the Odys?

Hello all,

Playing along on my Odys recently upgraded to the Froyo 2.2 v5 rom, and very happy with it. Great tool for exploring Android (and not having to be afraid to brick my phone).

A small question: I have installed bash and nano in order to have a somewhat friendly interface to dig into the system. It works great when connnecting to the Odys via SSH (QuickSSHd) from my PC.

However when I want to use nano directly in the terminal emulator on the tablet: nano starts nice, but... how can I enter control characters, like ^x (quit)??? No control key on the Odys Genesis.

I tried Hacker's Keyboard, but here the characters on the keys are unreadable (will file a bug report) :(. Any ideas?

Thanks, Kees.

3 day experience... my first android rooting...

Device: Nextbook 3

PC OS: Windows 7

At first i tried coping the img(rom) file on the sd card i got an err about the bootloader's version... i searched the net for flashing the img files... and found the tools....

then later I saw these tools were already posted in the first thread... http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X5J1GIDD

[Day One]

Installed Origional Next3 firmware with market and root added

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UR080WKG

did not seem fast enough...

[Day Two]

Installed 2.2 Froyo v5

...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5ZXKJEL7

Looked preety good... started getting auto reboots after couple hours...

[Day Two]

Installed 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD beta v.2

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8EK69NU

Looks good... video isnt fully supported yet...

Started getting problem in Market... after flashing this rom, the first app I downloaded... downloaded and installed fine... after that it just tries to download and fail...

[Day Three]

Lastly Installed (for now) Prestigio PMP3084B firmware 2.1.2 striped of bloat only 12 apps pre-installed the system is truly rw, busybox installer verified, boot animations removed

...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GVFCVAJP

Changed language to english

installed following apk(s):

Auto App Organizer 3.53 (nice organaizer found resently)

Astro file manager (for backing up the apks)

swapper(used 512) [i think this app is must to have if you want to have alot of apps]

adw launcher ex (set the columns and rows on the home screen to 10x8)

beautifulwidgets_3.4 (used the brightness widget)

adao taskmanager (widget to kill open apps)

xScope Browser (multi tabbed browser, organized)

WifiConnecter.1.0.6 (widget is good for force connect a hidden network)

SWKey v1.0.9 (a button always seen on screen, brings up a side panel with soft keys for menu, back, search)

volumePlus.apk (widget to change the volume)

roottoolboxpro_1.5.3.apk

adobe.reader.v10.0.0 (for reading ebooks[pdfs])

and the awsome ButtonRemapper v0 2.1.apk from which i mapped the upkey to backkey and downkey to volume up

note: by default holding the up key takes you home... and holding down key opens up the menu on this device.

Problem in Market... first app I download/installs fine after flashing... after that it tries to download and fail... so i installed SlideMe as a replacement of default Market (for now).

Note: All the links above were copied from the first post.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Well, i personally have no experience in Next2 but as far as i'm aware it belongs to 'first generation' of cheap tablets. It has an inferior RK2808 chipset and as such it's hardly able to run Froyo.

It is doable but i'm afraid that you're stuck to what you have, namely Eclair version of the Android OS.

In the first post you have all of the instructions and the rooted FW for it.
