I already have all the neccesary files for the mk802 II and will be releasing one soon... I will need a boot.img from the mk805 in order for me to make a compatibility .zip for it. Sorry I have been late to post, I started school, and this isn't really much of a job :P

credentiality: Extract boot.img from an android phone Use these instructions to pull your boot.imgs and post them on my forum

I can't boot into bootloader on my Mk802II, but I could do a dd of the boot partition.

EManU3LXX

That might work... never tried it

kalibangon

I tried to split the image, it was okay, i got the kernel and ramdisk, so hopefully it will work, the image is here

Hi, I'm using a MK802 to play 3D video files via HDMI1.4a (2x 24Hz at 1080p, framepacking, standard 3D format for 3D TVs). Only the first firmware was capable to play such files with the google video player. Though later versions support different display settings, non of them works for 3D, and the google video player app ("Gallery)"was removed. Also I can only get the sound via HDMI as bluetooth isn't supported. So I'd like to try a CWM rom. Does anybody know if it supports 3D playback? Thx in advance!

I just received my MK802 II yesterday. So far so good. Everything is working including Droidmote server. The only issue is that I can't install some application from Market like Chrome. Dolphin is working fine. Graphics are not too bad. I set Ocean HD live wall paper and it runs smooth.
I am waiting for some custom ROM to try it out.

Hi EManU3LXX,
your installation instructions are not right. In CWRM you have to flash the rom, gapps and compatibility.zip without rebooting. The system can only start after comp.zip is flashed. You can read this in Christian Troys threads.

Did you build the rom and the comp.zip or did you only copy the files from Christian Troy ?

The way you described to install CWRM is too much work for me. I only prefer to copy the recovery.img onto sdcard-internal. Then install Novotools.apk. Run Novotools and select "Flash recovery" or later "Reboot recovery". Thats it.

firebird274

Any updates on the next set of comp zips?

EManU3LXX

I didn't make the instructions, I used the same ones in the Riko Forums page, and no I built the rom from his source, but I used his MMk802 compatibility zip. That's why the rom is able to be used in all (well most) all winner devices. If you notice his thread has a dl for source. I'm not like that bro. I dnt dig copyright issues with poeple also,

why yes, there is an update, I finnally got the boot.img to open without curruption so these should be up this weekend. I've been busy with school so NONE of my roms have had any updating. Sorry guys for the hold up! I really need more time managment skills lol

kalibangon

Hi EManU3LXX,

Could you allso write some documentation how to make these compatibility zip

Thank you

EManU3LXX

I never thought about that.... it's no for the faint of heart, but I'll add that today, I'm at lunch right now, but I gotta go to class soon, and I don't wanna post something half done.

kalibangon

That I belive, but like to get my hands dirty

erdilmeet

Hi EManU3LXX,

I request you to please let me know how to make these compatibility zip as It would be very much appreciated! I have the boot.img extracted and I am waiting to hear from you soon. Would appreciate your support!

erdilmeet

Hello.
I connected my Z902 to my computer by USB cable for extract the boot.img.
Previously I installed SDK Manager and the drivers of the device.
I have Windows 7.
In cmd, I typed:
adb devices
and this is answer: List of devices attached 20080411 device
later, I typed from c:\ Adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd2 boot.img and i have no results.
How i can to extract the boot.img?
what am I doing wrong?

THKS!

kalibangon

Try

adb shell

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=1024

exit

killoman

I tried:

adb shell
the system said:

root@android:/#

I typed: dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=1024

The system said:

/dev/mtd/mtd2: cannot oper for read: No souch file or directory

I Typed:

cd dev

The system said:

root@android:/dev #

I Typed:

cd mtd

The system saids: No such file or directory.

Doesn´t exist the directory "mtd/mtd2" in my device?

manage to flash CM10 on my MK802II but the wifi isnt working..anyone haf a workaround on this..tried flashing EManU3LXX comp.zip but wifi is still a no go..thx!

kalibangon

How does your vold.fstab looks like.
How about output of command df
I got a mk802, then its /dev/block/nandc

killoman

THKS.

Where is the boot.img in your device (MK802)?

How you can extract it?

kalibangon

adb shell

su

# make sure sdcard is mounted

dd if=/dev/block/nandc of=/sdcard/boot.img

exit

# boot.img is just a file name you choose yourself, could be what ever

And if you wanna make sure, you could use a Linux box and see if you could splitt the image, I use split_bootimg.pl

Example:
split_bootimg.pl /tmp/boot.img
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 8471836 (0x0081451c)
Ramdisk size: 858803 (0x000d1ab3)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board name:
Command line:
Writing boot.img-kernel ... complete.
Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.

Then you proberly got the right image

So you shold look for partions on your device that is about 20 Mb

kalibangon

Anyone that knows about this, I see this when I run CM 10 on my MK802ii

WifiHW ( 90): Failed to open wlan fw path param (No such file or directory)

E/SoftapController( 90): Softap fwReload - failed: -1

E/WifiStateMachine( 315): Failed to reload STA firmware java.lang.IllegalStateException: command '8 softap fwreload wlan0 STA' failed with '400 8 Softap operation failed (No such file or directory)'

W/CommandListener( 90): Failed to retrieve HW addr for wlan0 (No such device)

What is the fw path it looks for, what is the path on the stock firmware ?

Finnally, Compatibility zips done I gotta get off before I get in trouble, they'l be up when I gety home

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet, I was beginning to lose hope. Thanks again.

killoman

Also for Z902?????

tobytones

Thanks a lot! MiniX owner here

If you notice, compatibility zips have the following files structure;

META_INF
bootloader Folder
system
additions
and bootcm10...

I'll guide you throiught finding all these files and compiling them.

But first, you will need a few things.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946249 <- You'll need this for signing and opening other rom zips.

Install the android development kit, as well as adb
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-adb-on-windows-full-guide/

Alright, let's start with the /system folder. The following extra folders are in this folder:
bin
etc
usr
vendor
lib

These can EASILY be pulled from a working zip... although if your device has no available roms, you can use ADB to pull it directly from your device.

The adb code would be adb pull /system/ C:\pathyouwanttosaveto
This code will save the WHOLE /system folder, so you might need to dig around to find just the files you want.

For the META-INF folder, use the one provided by me *here* (link will be up shortly)... unless you really know the ins and outs of making flashable zips.

For the boot_cm10 IMG. use your boot image. and place that in the folder (once again, unless you used your own meta_inf, because this could ruin the flashing process.) To extract your boot image follow this guide:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Extracted boot images are sometimes shitty, so using a boot image from a different rom is usually best.

I need a boot.img for it, but if you feel comfortable with making your own, a guide will be up soon

kalibangon

Nice, looking forward to it

killoman

I posted the boot.img yesterday.......
Is it not ok?

tobytones

I'd really appreciate it if you uploaded the miniX comp. zip soon too

kalibangon

I'm not sure if this is the "new" zip, but I tried it anyway, it dosen't work, it's stuck on the Cyanogenmod bootanimation

While waiting for this, you might wanna try the updated software for the MK802II, it was released 29 of september 2012

More info is found here

This software is broken, and your device will not boot after a reboot, a new image will be released in a few days according to Rikomagic germany

Last edited by kalibangon; October 11th, 2012 at 02:23 PM. Reason: Warning, broken image

I'm sorry but what's the holdup? Thought you said you had them done, uploading when u got home? As in you're on vacation somewhere?

nasomi

I have the mk802 512mb and I've flashed several recovery images with no luck. the 4.x will flicker on input, the 5.x will reboot on input. I flashed 5 with livesuite, and 4 with the script. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? I've seen ohters with the issue but thus far no one has found a solution that they've posted.

EManU3LXX

Guys sorry for the delay in posting.. had some personal problems to take care of... but anyways, I've been reading the replies today.. I'll post a guide on Removing the boot.img from files etc. Where to get vendor files, all that jazz neccessary to port make compatibility zips and mods maybe... Once again sorry Alot guys, but it's great oto see you guys are working together to solve this problem!

EManU3LXX

No, I wasn't on vacation.. I wish.. but I wasn't.. and I tried u-loading a mk802 II zip but as someone else said it's broken... I think it's the vendor files (drivers etc), but I'm not sure

cjacobs611

Hello, great work on the 802, this is very good news! Any chance you have done any work on the MK 808? We still dont have bluetooth. Also need to know the best way you think to root the device. Thanks for your help you guys are great!

EManU3LXX

Hey guys, for those of you risky enought to mke your own compatibility zips, I'm posting up a guide.. Ben really busy tho.. haven't gotten on af much

DivinityCycle

Hey hey hey, I've got a pair of Zero Z902s that I recently got. The stock firmware is just a mess. I've been able to get ADB shell working, and the stock ROM has a su binary in it, but it isn't possible to remount /system as read-write, so nothing meaningful can be done to make the "factory" firmware less terrible.
I'm familiar with boot.img, and should be able to pull one from the "stock" firmware via adb, then unpack it. I've done some ramdisk mods in the past, and am working on a Samsung tablet ROM, so I've got a good set of skills for this type of job

The Z902 is very tricky, I have only ever been able to flash anything on mine using PhoenixCard and a "stock" M802 firmware.
Any tips on flashing CWM for the z902? Will the M802 build of CWM work?

Since I have two of them and they're so cheap, I'm not super worried about messing one up.

EManU3LXX

If it's running allwinner, it'll work, just chek out my post on making compatibility zips, I'm trying to get soem stuff up on mywebsite, I'll let you guys know when it's done

(although mine comes from a different company and is black in colour with i believe 4GB nand).

Im really struggling to find the guides/files that i need to hack it. I would ideally like to install CWM but it would appear that i need a compatibility file and i can only find one for MK802 series. Can anyone advise me, point me in the direction of the right resource or otherwise help me out?

Would it be possible to get a compatibility zip from you for this?

Thanks in advance

marcelorider

EManU3LXX i'm searching for help making a compatibility Zip for a CEMA10N7 tablet (also know as Artview AT9C), it's a Allwinner CPU based as MK802

Would you help me making it?
