20 -02-2011 flashing recovery for the ones who updated to the latest build 18 febuary

MCLP · Feb 20, 2011

before fanything you will need to enable the tegra drives do the following so your folio is recognised as and adb interface:
you dont need this if your folio is allredy recognised has a adb interface in device manager.

1) Install the Adb driver.
For driver :
- Download the android SDK
- Edit "<your-android-sdk-folder>/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf"
- Add the following after [Google.NTx86] (or [Google.NTamd64] if 64 bits windows)
Code:

;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

2 now for the flashing
make sure you have the following

adb on your computer
recovery image(recovery.img found inside update.zip from folio mod
folio must be rooted(use superoneclick1.6.5 or over)
and last the app (root explorer)

lets start

step 1. instal root explorer on your folio
step 2. copy the recovery image from foliomod in your computer to a memory card
step 3.with your memory card inserted in your folio using root explorer copy the recovery.img to this directory like this /data/recovery.img note:if found another data folder inside past the recovery.img there aswell
step4. exit root explorer now in your computer type this in comand prom (cmd)

"adb shell" without quotes it should say demon started sucessefuly.and a $ sign should be there

now type this "cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" without quotes
if nothing happens it means it worket

now for the flashing do not factorise do it after instaling the mod your trying to install.

alternative way:If you get the permission denied error, type in: "su -" and on your tablet superuser should come up with a permission request. Allow this and you are really "root" as the # shows in the shell window.

note:if you found this guide usefull dont forget to press the thanks button

if you are having trouble instaling adb on your computer please tell i dont mind making one tutorial cause for tegra devices u need to modifie the driver file.

Looking good, but cant we just fatboot it over, well anyway wich rooting method works? Visionary? z4root? superoneclick?

Launch the SDK by double-clicking SDK Manager.exe, at the root of your SDK directory.
Expand the Third party Add-ons and Google Inc. add-ons.
Check Google Usb Driver package and click Install selected.
Proceed to install the package. When done, the driver files are downloaded into the <sdk>\google-usb_driver\ directory.

To install the Android USB driver on Windows for the first time:

Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Devices in the left pane.
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\google-usb_driver\.)
Click Next to install the driver.

if you did not use my methord u can always share how you did yours

D0cStrange · Feb 20, 2011

Hey, I had a problem, my adb gave me a permission error every time i tried "cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", so all what i have done is downloading a terminal emulator and just tap it, it went then perfectly

Yes !!

I follow this one with a MIX of your post :

(start at section BUT for some of you (including me) this will fail and you will see a text on the screen like booting recovery kernel image and the tablet freezes there. )

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915894

and with FASTBOOT, it works for me.

if you get permission denied or some kind off error u are better off using terminal emulator

If you get the permission denied error, type in: "su -" and on your tablet superuser should come up with a permission request. Allow this and you are really "root" as the # shows in the shell window.

NVM. I solved it.

Great guide! Im now running the foliomod

desbela · Feb 27, 2011

Ok, I'm an idiot. I've updated my new Folio - spot foliomod too late ;(((
Now I can't root it.
I followed what said here (and others post on xda).
I've installed the driver but 'ADB devices' does not show anything below the list in command prompt.
The latest superoneclick idles (more than an hour) with no result.

Maybe I need to change the text string to make it recognize the driver?
Any hint?

EDIT: solved. I've reinstalled driver (not in fastboot mode and checked adb_usb.ini).
Now it's rooted. Superoneclick rules.

Tried factory reset but doesn't help. Nether does flashing the firmware..

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks done

I think could be useful add this part to the guide on the "how to enable Tegra driver":

Type this in the Run of start menu:

echo 0x955 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"

This command prompt add a 0x955 line in adb_usb.ini located in C:\Documents and Settings\<name of the user>\.android
Find the folder with " %USERPROFILE%\ " in Run.

I'll try to recover my Folio ASAP and I'll let you know

EDIT: Done! I'm on FolioMod

Hi and thanks for your guide.

I just wanted to ask some questions before, so I dont screw up my brand new tablet

I rooted it and installed Root Explorer. Copied the Recovery.img to "\data" and "\data\data"-folders.

So far so good. But when i connect my tablet with USB-debugging enable, run a command promt, and typ "adb shell" it shows a $-sign but i doesnt say anything else, the "demon started sucessefuly"-part is missing. Is this a problem?

One more thing, when ive successfully flashed this recovery, should i be able to install FolioMod like with old fimwire?

Thanks in advance!
