[DEV] unofficial CyanogenMod 7/ClockworkMod Recovery 5 for TCC8902/TCC8803 tablets

[anthonyburnsred]

ROM?

I have installed it on my friend's COBY Kyros MID7016 and it works great!!

My friend is very happy with the tablet as it is now more useful and easier to use.

Thanks for your work.

Hey what ROM did you use for your friends COBY KYROS 7016 tab?

as anyone tried this on a viewquest slate 2 and got it working

I looked ICS update for KYROS 7022 from cobygermany. it's interesting...
it uses old(GB) kernel and old kernel modules. I'm not sure but I guess userland proprietary libraries are also old. I feel some strangeness.

in ICS for Cat Nova, rom is provided as FWDN image with lk.rom. kernel is new(3.0.8). proprietary files are also new. new ICS library like as hwcomposer.tcc88xx.so and libhwui.so are provided. it seems quite normal.

these 2 are quite different.

I guess cobygermany asked 3rd party for porting ICS... update files for 7022 is distributed from here: http://upgrade-android.com/

then, what I want to say is, ICS for 7022 uses old kernel. it's good. almost of all files except kernel should work on other TCC8803 tablets with GB kernel, e.g. EM73. I was thinking(actually still thinking but no time...) to port CM9(10) for TCC8803 with GB kernel. but making custom ICS for other TCC8803 tablets may be nice too.

Does anyone have Emdoor EM73 resistive AK HY30 stock rom?

Thanks in advance

I looked ICS update for KYROS 7022 from cobygermany. it's interesting...

This caught my eye also and I was planning on trying to flash it, but decided not to risk it as I can't get to recovery/fastboot mode without adb access.

BTW, does anybody know how to get to recovery/fastboot with Diel Flick 7" (aka LY-F521 etc) if the OS won't boot to a point that ADB gets started?


Also it seems that Telechips released a 3.0 version of their kernel source, and it seems to be even buildable (unlike the old ones): http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/07...hips-tcc8925-mini-pcs-cx-01-z900-tizzbird-n1/ No idea though if it supports the 8803 chip and the MALI GPU.

I forgot many things about telechips... but I think kernel sources were buildable. it doesn't promise anything unlike many people thought something was promised...

It seems to build fine and has now the MALI (and afaik other relevant such as the tcc stuff) drivers built in. Can't get it to boot though, which is no wonder, as I just copied the old initramfs and commented out module loading. However, it's next to impossible to debug as there seems to be no way to get the boot messages.

Help please

Hi guys.
I have a Kogan Agora tablet and recently lost control of my touch screen when attempting to put android 3.0 on it. That failed and I have since tried to get the original OS from Kogan tech support and they were no help and directed me here.
I have all the Cyanogen TCC8803 mods now and none of them allow me to use the touch screen again.

Is there any way to sort this issue out?
oh and FWDN doesnt pick up my tablet..


Thanks

I know that here isn't help/give thread. Whit my post i just want to know if somebody have or know this device(MPMAN 720) that could help me with stock recovery, and consequently encourage somebody that will create CyanogenMod for this device.

what is the trick? A some custom rom's for MID7015 woke up my device, but image is indented(offset) and touch screen not working. So i think ther's need a small change in this rom.

Last question. It is possible to get files(i think that are drivers) from system.img which i have uploaded, and overwrite it in rom for mid7015?

This forum is my last option, because i am searching rom for my device for a long time, but there are exist for a lot of similar device, bot for my nothing(also does not work CyanogenMod).

Or If somebody could explain me how to get valid backup from the same device(which it have my friend) i will be grateful. If will be sucessful, i will upload the backup for other users and research for cyanogen.

Tnx again.

hey guys, new to this, just got a MP720, not much firmware about for this one, not must of anything really,

I did however find this site with links to the to original firmware from MPMAN,

using google translate haha, it seems the two flavours of chipset for this taplet,

Hynix NAND firmware:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29403117/MP720 An 2.3_Hynix.rar
Micron NAND firmware:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29403117/MP720 An 2.3_Micron.rar
Flash Tool:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29403117/upgrade tool and Introduction.rar

that said i have not tested these FW's and cant vouch for the safety of using them,

I'm not a developer but hopefully they could be usefull for making a cyanogenmod for it (fingers crossed haha) or some one who has bricked there tap,

I have downloaded these files so if the link becomes dead please let me know and i will send them

* How to make backup of stock recovery
1. download dump-recovery-signed.zip and put it as update.zip on root of SD card (e.g. /sdcard/update.zip) *1 *2
2. install update.zip from stock recovery *3

stock recovery will be dumped as dumped_recovery.img and /proc/mtd will be copied as dumped_proc_mtd.txt on root of SD card. keep them in safe place.

* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5
1. make backup of stock recovery
2. download recovery.zip and put it as update.zip on root of SD card (e.g. /sdcard/update.zip) *1 *2
3. install update.zip from stock recovery *3

clockworkmod will be booted on next reboot recovery.

how to operate: MENU/VOL- = next(down), SEARCH/VOL+ prev(up), HOME/POWER = select, BACK = back

*1 if recovery is 3e, you can put it with any name on any directory in SD card
*2 some tablets/roms mount internal storage as /sdcard. confirm update.zip exists on root of SD card.
*3 some tablets/roms have system update function in Settings to install update.zip

* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (alternative)
a. flash recovery.img in recovery.zip by fastboot (if your tablet has fastboot mode)
b. flash recovery.img in recovery.zip by flash_image command on root shell
c. flash tcc_mtd.img with clockworkmod recovery.img by FWDN

you may need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh before install (if it exists on your tablet)

* How to install CyanogenMod 7
1. install ClockworkMod Recovery 5
2. reboot recovery
3. make backup of stock ROM
4. wipe data/factory reset *4
5. install cyanogen.zip
6. reboot
7. touchscreen calibration *4 *5

*4 only if you are upgrading from non-CM7 ROM (CM7 1st install)
*5 only if you are using resistive touchscreen or misaligned capacitive touchscreen. if calibration is not needed, press BACK to cancel calibration.

* How to flash FWDN image (Windows PC is required)
i) prepare
1. download FWDN_V7_v2.13.exe
2. download & install VTC Driver v5.xx for your Windows PC
3. download lk.rom and tcc_mtd.img for your tablet (DO NOT USE FILES FOR OTHER TABLETS!)
4. connect power cable (do not use USB power for safety)

ii) flash bootloader(lk.rom) you can skip this step if you already flashed proper lk.rom or you don't have proper lk.rom for your tablet
1. start FWDN on PC
2. drag & drop lk.rom into FWDN window
3. (re)boot tablet into FWDN mode
4. connect PC and tablet (window popped and size of "NAND Data" is displayed in Area Map in FWDN window)
5. confirm checkbox of lk.rom is checked
6. click "Start" & wait complete
7. disconnect & reboot tablet into FWDN mode to use new(just flashed) bootloader
8. uncheck checkbox of lk.rom (it's ok if checked but no reason to flash again in next step)

iii) flash Android image and initialize internal NAND(FAT) partition
1. drag & drop tcc_mtd.img into FWDN window
2. (re)boot tablet into FWDN mode (if you forgot it in 7. in previous step)
3. connect PC and tablet
4. click "NAND Data" in Area Map in FWDN window *6 *7
5. fill "Image File Path" (use [...] button) *8
6. click "Create Image" (NAND Data.fai will be added in main FWDN window)
7. confirm checkbox of tcc_mtd.img and NAND Data.fai are checked
8. click "Start" & wait complete (take several minutes)
9. disconnect & reboot tablet

*6 creating new NAND Data.fai is required when size of NAND Data(FAT partition) is changed by flashing new lk.rom in previous step. you can use same NAND Data.fai if you are using same lk.rom. don't use NAND Data.fai from other people.
*7 if size of NAND Data is not changed, you can skip flashing NAND Data.fai to keep your files in NAND(FAT) partition.
*8 you can make non-empty NAND Data.fai in this window

Thank U so much mate - U really saved the day, I thought I would have to go back to HCL to do something about my ME X1, coz nowhere on the internet was any clear instructions or detailed steps to flash a rom on to the ME X1 neither on the HCL website! And the situation was very grief as I was stuck with Recovery screen or the FWDN screen and thru Recovery I tried the Gingerom 1.0 - but because the rom wasn't a proper build it wouldn't last more then 10seconds after booting up - so I gave it a break for 12 hours as I was very tired of googling and visiting 100 of sites but with no results - till I came across your page on XDA and followed the steps described by U - though it took nearly 4 hours for me to revive the ME X1 thru U guidance and downloading all the necessary files and a lot of prayers then voila - CM7 got booted after the Chinese bootloader screen & hence rest is all smiles, my nephew so so glad and I personally can't thank you enough - God bless U & keep up the good work :0)

jelly bean on tcc8803:
(should have GB kernel)

It woul be great to have some roms made, especially for the 7022. I made a cm9 port for the 7022 but I could not get theme chooser to function. The problem with making cm9/10 is that the kernel source files are needed in order to get the rom fully funtional.
If anyone needs help in making roms for tcc8803 tablets I'll be glad to help.

thanks. but I think you're making CM9 for 7022 by modifying another CM9 rom for another tablet, right?
I'm using source code and I'm not using any another rom. and most importantly I don't have enough time

please continue your work. I'll port CM9 for telechips myself but I can't promise when I can do it.

thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,

I hope someone can help me I have tried both

HSG X5A (a.k.a. Herotab RK7, Pandawill G11 1st model)
HSG X5A-G (a.k.a. COBY Kyros MID7005, Herotab X5A, Pandawill G11 2nd model)

I cant get either of them to work the tablet just switches its self of I have to take the table apart to get it back in FWDN mode. I have tried load of different software none of them work I have found but gets constant force closes on me.

Am I flashing wrong? I have followed loads of guides I really appreicate any help getting this running.

Thanks Paul

Hi,

I'm currently trying to port some rom to coby mid8127 (tcc8803 too)... No success so far.
I'm currently working on cat nova ROM cause I was hoping we could fix bugs of coby release with cat libs. But if the kernel version is different, I suppose it is not so simple...
Do you think we can use the kernel from cat nova on our tablets ? I've no much knowledge with kernel so I don't know if we can use a kernel made for an other device if the chipset is the same.

EDIT : and do someone know for which devices those kernel are for ? https://www.telechips.com/technical_support/kor/opensource/opensource_list.asp
I've read jampekka's post but I don't understand if it's a no go or if it needs just a little more work.

 

[Dreamboxuser]

First off all the devices are listed In arch/arm/configs so check if your device is there.

Also fun_ where can I find the source to compile a bootloader.img for a tcc8803_evm?

As for the kernel compiling check out this thread.

Ok, there is a config file for tcc880x chispet and we can select tcc8803 when running make config. So it should be possible to compile a 3.0.8 kernel for coby devices.

I'll read the thread you point me about. Thanks for the link.
