Anyone tested this firmware?
What is better? Notice any changes?

I am attempting to flash. I think that it might not be working thought because it said board undetected however it appeared to flash correctly. I am now up and it appears that I was right that it did NOT flash. The version number is the same... I'm about to flash a sdcard and see if i can flash that way.

Still no luck... Anyone have any luck flashing this new firmware??

EDIT: flashing instructions... Flash the u0 first then reboot your device will run a 2 minute test. After that it will still be wowpad. Next flash like the instructions instruct. you should now get a very stock android boot screen. That is where I am currently... I will let you know when it boots. First boot takes a while as always.

This is also the most responsive rom that I have used so far. You may have to reflash the U0 to get the camera to work. I flashed 0V2655

One more thing... I was considering getting rid of my tablet due to lag and uselessness but now after flashing this rom I am gonna keep it and use it more. Just my 2 cents letting you know how much batter this rom is.

z4root does not work in this latest rom as you can not enable usb debugging (at least I can't figure out how... I think that they removed it) :(

With universal root v1.6.1, it shows your device is rooted. Than I use Root Explorer.
Not sure, what is USB debugging is all about.
Have you tried the WEB TV, quite cool.
Market is working but I prefer AppBrain.
wow at least someone tried it and is happy with it.

Hello can you use disk imager to flash this rom . Never had any luck with burn tool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Once you flash U0 you can flash from sdcard but you need U0 first :( Also you need to make the sdcard with burn tool but the good news is that it is a new version of burn tool.

EDIT: anyone have any ideas on how to extract the ius file so that we can grab the img files from it?

Latest Firmware for the Flytouch II - ver 2.1-update1 v1.9:#2852

Just did it.. but. using the USB cable method..

As have been said.. change the sequence from the MSword file

1: Load the drivers for Uburn .. IUW driver in the directory otg file=secbulk.inf (xp go to dir.. right click on file then “install”)

I rebooted my xp machine at this point… ) plug in the pad.. XP should find it as a hard drive.. Might even make you install the secbulk.sys file..

2: Burn Uboot .. (no 4 in the MSfile..) I burnt the 0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005 version (as yet not sure if thats the right one.. will find out as I play with the thing)

Then my pad kinda freaked out on the reboot with some screen tests.. it should tell you that this will take 2 minutes.. Mine even had a split screen thing going..

Note: I didn’t close the IUW program at anytime.. and kept plugging and unplugging things in during the process..

2: do the easy burn process as per No 1 ..MSword file.. let it burn everything in…
3: Do the reboot.. once again.. weird screen tests .. lots of blinking going on..
(DDRII study ok.. Press back.. a 615 number to the right bottom of screen.. )
Little android with a curser blinking for a while.. Then a new look Metallic Android boot screen..
Took a while to go through this process.. Some sounds then into the new look screen…

K.. hope this saves someone time.. I have just figured that with all these updates I most as well use the USB cable method now.. as the sdcard method means you have to deal with burning to a dedicated SD card..
I used this method on one of the other updates then found that the card was screwed.. i.e it had a was a bootable card.. so couldnt stay in the top slot.. and I kept on putting it in there by mistake.. if you have problems with your card and you need to bring it back to a clean slate.. use this..

HDD Low Level Format Tool

http://hddguru.com/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/

Don't try using the right click format in Windows.. it will just give you pain..

K.. its looking good.. noticed that its got VPN services now.. thats great news.. as I use it on my phone.. and was going nuts trying programs over the last few days to try to get a VPN going.. and if you are doing a stint in China like me at the moment.. you gotta have a VPN to do normal things..
Plenty of other new things in there.. and looking forward to playing with it..
I would almost say by the feel and look that we now have something worth playing with..
of course.. most of us on this thread (regulars) will be flicking these off and getting a new one within 6 months..
but its been fun playing with it as it is..
My wish now is.. can someone work out how we can get some Ram on board.. can it be done?
a little soldering?
Can it be done? I don't know enough about chips apart from popping them in and out.. but.. hey.. I would give it a go..
as this is why I brought this in the first place..

After taking the defective display of my XT220 apart in bits and pieces it seems to be an InnoLux BT101IW01 V.0.

I finally found a local supplier that might have it in stock. So maybe I will finally be able to play and mod in a couple of days. :D

Hi Capeschae,

I'm really anxious whether you were able to get a new display. My Flytouch has ben gathering dust for a few weeks now and I really really want to get it fixed.

Thanks, Ovaal

if you want to change from the stock "home" launcher, go into system-apps in root and change the "launcher.apk"
I go my flying now with ADW.. the stock one is nice but stills seems to have a bit of bloat to it..

I see they are trying to start their own App market too..

lol you csn see I had to much time on my hands.. so have been able to burn this thing like 3 times today from my screwups..

Click to collapse

Use a hex editor to search for gzip headers (0x1F8B08). That way, you will find the compressed ramdisk.cpio image and system.img. E.g. dd if=<thefile.ius> bs=<the offset of the gzip header> skip=1 | gzip -cd - > imagefile

If gzip produces the file and only warns about garbage at the end, you've found the proper location!

If found:

You can create ramdisk image like this:

Code: 
{ cat uboot_header ; dd if=file.ius bs=<offset> skip=1 | gzip -cd - | gzip ; } > ramdisk.img

The uboot_header is the first 64 bytes from the ramdisk.img of older firmwares, you can grab it from there (again, dd!)

And system.img:

Code: 
dd if=file.ius bs=<offset> skip=1 | gzip -cd - > system.img

uImage (kernel + u-boot header) is a little trickier. You have to search in the hex editor for 0x27051956, and then look if you see a Linux kernel version following it in the next 128 or so bytes. I'm not sure how to tell exactly how many bytes the uImage in the .ius file is though, but you can look at the supplied burn tool to see how many KB it reports the kernel to be. Round that up and use that as size to extract. So if it returns 2600.5 KB:

Code: 
dd if=file.ius bs=1 seek=<offset> count=$((2601* 1024)) of=uImage

A few extra bytes in the uImage won't hurt.

I'll have a go at it later if no one has beat me to it :)

Hi to everyone. I'm new to this android tablet and to this forum; following your advertise I've been able to update my 1170 firm up to 1623 but today I've decided ( :( ) to try the v1.9:#2852. I've burned the U0 flash with the u-boot-nand.bin from OV2655 folder and everythng was fine; on the screen appear the message that i could remove the OTG and reboot but...the my FT2 just do not reboot. It only vibrates continuosly (more that one hour then I hit the rest just to stop it) without going on. The screen remain blank. I've tried all the possibile buttons combination in order to reach the programing state or the recovery console without success. Now I don't know how to get my pad to life...
Can someone try to help me.
Thanks in advance...

@stragulus do you use any sort of chat program preferably irc on freenode.net #slatedroid ?

I'm going to try to build a flashable build based on gingerbread 2.3.2 using your patches. It would be great to be able to communicate in real time.

Have you tried to burn the u-boot-nand.bin from the OV2655 folder?

If your pad is still booting you may have to try that file ... or maybe the old one from the pandawill (1170 with u-boot-nand.bin) ...

hmmmm ... hope there is still power on your batteries ... if not, then I think you killed your flash ...

If you killed your flash you have to desolder the flash and try to burn it with a Galep or something like that ...

    First NAND-flash Froyo Release

    Thanks to user LaurensBER @ AndroidForums.com I managed to get a working pointer calibration file, after which I deem the first froyo version that can be written to the internal NAND flash ready!

    VIDEO

    Video demonstrating how to flash the tablet after having created the bootable SD-card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3

    RELEASE NOTES

    • Please provide feedback if things work, or do not work for you.
    • If it eats your tablet, don't blame me. I deem it low-risk though, if it fails you can reflash it using burntool or another bootable sd-card just like before.

    INSTALLATION

    Installation is slightly different from normal releases because it requires flashing in 2 steps. Luckily, it's really easy:

    1. Download bootable SD-card image and unzip: http://www.mediafire.com/?oc1bwnq71smb09k

    2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using Win32DiskImager:

    • Get Win32DiskImager here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
    • In Win32DiskImager: When you open it, there is a button to browse the .img file and after that, at the right of this button there is a selector for the SD-card. Select it, then click write and it's done.
    • When finished, take out the card.

    In linux, you just unzip the file and use dd to write it to the sd-card:

    Code: 
    dd if=/path/to/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX # (where sdX is your scsi disk device, check dmesg)

    3. Turn off tablet and put sd-card in TOP slot (between the 2 usb ports).

    4. Turn on tablet. It will report that it is booting off the sd-card, and that it's flashing kernel + filesystems.

    5. Take out the sd-card when the tablet asks you to do so (takes less than a minute). Put it in the OTHER sd-card slot (bottom one), and reboot the tablet by holding down the power for 10 seconds to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on.

    6. You will now see the tablet booting with a *GREEN* screen. The screen will flash twice to indicate it's starting. The flashing itself will take longer than in the previous step, a few minutes. If succesful, it will automatically reboot, after which you're done and you're booting the new firmware! You'll see a different boot screen (equalizer on a black background)

    7. After it has booted and you have unlocked the screen, reboot the tablet first thing! First boots in android always tend to be behave erratically. This is unrelated to this firmware and applies to all Android setups.

    If step 6 fails (which is very unlikely), it will stay on the green screen and it will keep on flashing the screen. In that case, you'll have to turn it off. Most likely problem for this is a corrupt SD-card. See troubleshooting below.

    Make sure to never put that sd-card back in the top-slot without erasing it first, as it will reflash your tablet!

    TROUBLESHOOTING

    • The 'green screen' keeps flashing!
      • The installer will dump a text file on the root of the sd-card which you can inspect. The file is called fail_reason.txt. If no such file exists, things are seriously wrong and the tablet couldn't even properly write to the sd-card. If using another SD-card, or rewriting the SD-card doesn't help, please upload the fail_reason.txt file here.
    • Flashing was succesful, but the system freezes at the android animation!
      • For this firmware to work, you need to have u-boot version 0.6.1.5 installed. You can tell if you have this by looking at the INFOTMIC bootscreen you see when you turn on the tablet. If the bottom right corner does not show a version number, then you don't have it. To install this, you will need to connect the tablet to your PC using an USB A-A cable and flash u-boot-nand.bin from the v2852 firmware first.

    TODO

    • Find out why some users can't get past the android boot animation despite seemingly succesful flashing
    • Rewrite instructions for creating the sdcard @ windows
    • Figure out why Titanium Backup doesn't work

    (**) Tested:

    • wifi, ethernet port
    • battery status works, g-sensor works
    • touchscreen works (precalibrated, you cannot recalibrate it using the settings app)
    • HD video playback works (I recommend Meridian player)
    • Market works (full)
    • angry birds works ( thought I'd mention it ;) )
    • The firmware has already been rooted! You can connect using adb over wifi, and type 'su' to become root. Find your IP address using the Android System Info app.
    • GPS confirmed

    2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using WinHex:

    • Get WinHex here: http://www.winhex.com/winhex/
    • In WinHex: tools, disk tools, clone disk
    • Choose file from zip (sdcard.img)
    • Choose the sd card as your destination
    • Start sector: fill in 0, also make sure the directories are correct on left
    • When finished, take out the card.

    Stragulus' FT2 SD Froyo port process (How To)

    UPDATE: Froyo port to NAND flash now available HERE
    IF you still want to run Froyo from sd be sure to get the pointer calibration file located at the link above and insert into the appropriate location of the files below. Note: If you don't know where or how to insert the pointer file you should just flash the FT3 to NAND.

    If you don't understand what you are doing/how to do it then you should probably wait for a simple sd card install. This requires the use of a lot of different tools that everyone may not have/understand. Read through it all before you start the process. Neither I nor anyone else referenced throughout take responsibility for anything that happens to your tablet. In other words, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    I hope to have an sd card install worked out soon so anyone not in a hurry may want to wait. I also think I have a clockworkmod recovery process (read: Backup) worked out so anyone that does want to try the below or an sd install can have a backup to go back to if all doesn't go well (and sometimes it won't).

    People that know what you are doing (you know who you are) please feel free to respond if you see error in my delivery. I am just trying to clean up the process around Stragulus' outstanding work (he has a Donate button!) spread out over many many posts. Feel free to "Thank" me if this write up is useful to you.



    -Download necessary files-
    Download Flytouch 3 files (using this google cached page of download link):
    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...E78SDFbJd121Gfftg&sig2=jBjp0lQBhebR0Q5vgAUChQ
    *Rename firmware-discovery to .zip, open (thanx for the catch kineticz)
    Keep system.tar and ramdisk.img

    Download updated kernel (uimage) and wifi driver here:
    http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547139&d=1300632589
    Keep uimage and rt2070sta.ko (wifi driver)



    -Set up tablet to run Froyo from sd card-
    Use WinHex or WIN32DiskIMager (free) to make a bootable sd card using bootable sd .img from second link in this post:
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11830573&postcount=1504

    Put uimage and ramdisk.img files on sd card
    (you may have to format entire card (705MB) FAT32 to drag/drop files to it)
    Put sd card in tablet, turn on.
    Let it burn kernel and ramdisk

    OR

    Use burntool
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10214773&postcount=899
    (ignore firmware files)



    -Set up sd card for running Froyo-
    Partition all of your sd card back to FAT32 (Easus Partition Manager for pc is free)
    You will now create a total of 6 partitions

    First PRIMARY partition (empty): Format this as fat32

    Second PRIMARY partition (will become /system): Format as ext3. Recommend 192MB size

    Third PRIMARY partition (will become /data): Format as ext3. Use rest of space, BUT leave 256MB for last Primary.

    Lastly create another PRIMARY partition of 256MB: Format as FAT32

    Select/highlight the PRIMARY partition created last (256MB). Right click/choose to create logical partition WITHIN it.
    First LOGICAL partition (will become /local): Format as ext3. Recommend 128MB size
    Second LOGICAL partition: Format as fat32. Recommend 128MB size



    -Copy system to sdcard-
    Plug tablet into pc/mac using usb cable
    Using linux enter the following:
    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/system
    sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX2 /mnt/system
    sudo tar -C /mnt/system -xvpf /path/to/system.tar
    (/path/to/system.tar is location where you have the system.tar on your pc/mac)



    -Fix wifi file-
    While tablet is still plugged into pc/mac
    Using linux enter the following:
    sudo su -
    export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp
    cp rt2070sta.ko /mnt/tmp/lib/modules/

    Yesterday I talked to the Chinese seller that sold me my Flytouch II and he gave me the new 1480 firmware , along with Winhex program and instructions. You have to create a clone SD card with Winhex following the instructions in the package (word doc file), then quick format it FAT32 then copy the files under the android folder supplied in the package, but be careful! I tried it under windows 7 and it doesn't work, then I tried it on a laptop running windows XP Sp3 and all went perfectly and smoothly. Also be aware that you must insert the TF card in the upper slot of the Flytouch the one closer to the side with all the physical buttons, this is the only bootable slot.

    I have noticed that my tablet is running slightly smoother under 1480 firmware, and some icons have changed and also the OI File manager is now simply called File manager and has better graphics, also there is a handwriting recognition option as an input choice apart from more keyboard types. I haven't had much more time testing other options, but can post later on my experience on the run.

    Also you should know that you will loose all your programs and settings and the rooting of the tablet. It is advisable to use a backup program (Titanium Backup Pro or Mybackup Pro) and you have to root the tablet again , with z4root for example, after flashing.

    I have uploaded the whole package to my megaupload account, here is the link:

    Happy flashing! ;D

    Wifi + Rotation now works

    See title. I also rooted the rom by adding SuperUser + the su binary. All required files are in the attachment.

    To get this to work, first mount the /system partition of the sd-card on your computer on /mnt/tmp (assuming linux users here), then:

    Replace the wifi driver with rt2070sta.ko from the attachment:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp
cp rt2070sta.ko /mnt/tmp/lib/modules/

    If you want to root the rom:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp

cp su $SYSROOT/bin/su
chown root.root $SYSROOT/bin/su
chmod 6755 $SYSROOT/bin/su
cp superuser.apk $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk
chown root.root $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk
chmod 755 $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk

    If you want to enable adb:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp

echo 'persist.service.adb.enable=1' >> $SYSROOT/build.prop

    To fix the rotation, you need to flash the attached new uImage using burntool.

    And that's all!

    Who wants to turn this into an update that can be applied from sd-card? I'll focus on fixing or changing things when they come up, but so far it looks like this rom is already quite usable!


    ADDENDUM: You *do* need to flash ramdisk.img from the FT3 firmware unmodified as well. It doesn't use the built-in ramdisk image as I presumed.
