[TOOL] rkflashtool for Linux and rk2808, rk2818 and rk2918 based tablets

[900supersport]

The tool works with the rk3188 you need to edit and compile with 310b.

 

[mrgsm]

Need Helppp ... i tried upload Generic rk2918 using rrecovery_RKtool_win_v2 ,on my China TAB rk2918 based, it worked fine, and then suddenly i pressed 'Format' at recovery_RKtool_win_v2, now it cannot Boot. But still detected by software, but not detect by RKBatch15 (for flashing ROM).

pleaseee ...pleaseeee ...pleaseeee

 

[Gilly10]

I had a look at the RK29kitchen and pasted together one simple script that will backup all relevant partitions, it requires rkflashtool and mkkrnlimg in $PATH.

It is basically copied from Oleg's scripts from https://github.com/OlegKyiashko/RK29kitchen, I only added some extra sanity checks and made sure that everything is just in one script file (the original RK29kitchen script sources various plug-in scripts and that was too cumbersome for me).

It will first read and parse the partition table and then dump boot, kernel, misc, recovery, system, backup to your harddrive. Just to be clear, this functionality has already been available in RK29kitchen, I simply put some of the existing things together and modified them to my needs.

Thanks for this just dumped my RK3066 tablet, had no luck with getting firmware from the MFR so needed a way of getting something that I can hopefully use to recover, anyway I noticed it skips kpanic & cache, should it do that & will that affect any future recovery?

Thanks if anyone can answer

Cache is cache so no valuable information there. Kpanic is a place to dump crash info for the Linux kernel. Both are autocreated, need no special handling.

rkflashtool: some blocks aren't flashed to RK3066

I successfully flashed kernel.img several times to my RK3066-based chineese tablet.
But when I tried to flash system.img, it didn't correctly flashed some blocks:

$ /tmp/android-command-line/rkflashtool/rkflashtool w 0x0061A000 0x0CA496 < system.img
...
GOOD
$ /tmp/android-command-line/rkflashtool/rkflashtool r 0x0061A000 0x03 | cmp - system.img
says that 1025'th byte is different

The result was partially flashed partition (corrupt filesystem).
I started to think that NAND is exhausted. But after that I successfully flashed the system.img with RKAndroidTool.exe in Windows. So it looks like the rkflashtool bug.
Ideas?

AFAIK you cannot flash system.img with rkflashtool as system is under control of rkXXnand.ko driver and inherits wear-leveling algorithm. The windows tool seems to know that and adds or relocates data, crc, whatever according that driver.
There is still some 'magic' in the RockChip things...

But you can flash kernel, boot, recovery and misc with rkflashtool.

Confirmed; flashing the kernel works quite well on my u30gt2 RK3188. (Well, flashing it back to its original state works well. Flashing the kernel I built works rather less well.)

Astralix, thanks a lot for your answer.
But I strongly doubt that the RK-chip in flash mode has something to do with Linux kernel and hence rkXXnand.ko. I trust in your experience that RK somehow protects certain areas but that should be somewhere in the SRAM bootloader or such.
Anyway, thanks for clarification.

With the system.img It was just a proposal I made cause we had many troubles with flasing it while all other parts work fine.
There may be another trap you run into:
I got a new tablet based on RK3066, the Odys Xelio 10pro. In that one I tried to fetch the kernel from the flash but got only trash. We then found out that they followed the recommended way to give a separate kernel in boot.img and recovery.img. So you can flash into kernel.img whatever you like, it will not be started until you exchange boot.img with an image that doesn't contain a kernel.

ildar_prophet, are you inspecting the bootloader actually? So it would be very kind to keep me informed about any new information about it. I'd like to get some more infos about the IDB area and it's content. Further I rewrote some parts of the rkflashtool.c and collected all the different commands from different versions from it. And I added all known RockChips that should be supported by it here.
But still a work in progress and I only could verify it on RK2918 and RK3066.

Regards
Astralix

Excuse me, very important: did you see this behavior on RK29xx?
Thanx in advance.

rkflash reads partitions fine, but doesn't write anything, just prints weird symbols in terminal.
Any ideas, where might be a problem?

And it worked a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, your post is very informative.
Could you please write what command you launched, what you expected to see in the result etc...

I have made boot partition backup with command
sudo ./rkflashtool r 0x00008000 0x00008000 > boot.backup
everything went fine, rkflash made a good backup

Then i tried to flash different boot.img with command
sudo ./rkflashtool w 0x00008000 0x00008000 < boot.img
though after executing command terminal was flooded with weird symbols and rkflash didn't write anything to tablet.

LOL, I can see the problem now... I've used r parameter in write command.

I have set top box rockchip device. Bad thing is this device does not have power and volume buttons and it dont have microUSB port. It have 4 regular USB ports, ethernet, HDMI, composite and audio out. There is no way to connect to computer. Its based on rk3066. Internal name is rk30sdk.

I managed to root device (it was shipped with su), so I just added busybox and superuser. Using teminal emulation I managed to dump first four partitions using dd. Two of them is almost identical. Both starts with ANDROID and have same size and lots of data is identical.

Using kitchen tools I managed to unpack one of those partitions and access to zImage and other stuff. Then I build new zImage based on AndrewDB rockchip 3066 kernel source, replace zImage and create new boot.img file.

Because there is no way to connect device to PC, I transferred new boot.img on device then use dd to directly write into partition... and device wont boot anymore.

Now.. big question is how to write original kernel images. I have dumps, but I cant connect device to PC (no microUSB port). I cant switch device in flash recovery mode because there is no buttons on device.

Is there any guide how to deal with this situation?

 

[ildar_prophet]

It looks you got no other choice but disassemble it and find other plugs inside

I have just bricked my tablet asking for the SD recovery method

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386997

My problem is that it does not boot but I will try to setup my SD to restore the system

How must I do to setup it?

Is it ok to put the original .img from the vendor - I have it - or any other you know can run better? My goal after repairing is trying again to put inside a CM JB rom - perhaps trying without changing the bootloader -

Thanks in advance

PS: ypur post is the most similar to my problem, and I am glad you solved it

afaik... you can flash it back as long as you can still access bootloader/loader/flashmode for the rk device.. good thing you have an original firmware, now there are different types of firmware, i think, in the researches ive done here some types that i still remember are Zip (Edify), FW (uhm, Firmware? i think this is the true Firmware file), and Image/Images in IMG format, (multiple images. i think these are dump / backup files, and a Orig.img which is also flashable in batchtools, right?)

-if you have the original.img from the vendor (Image, if you can take a peek in the content, go check if it has something like a res folder or other imgs inside) you can just simply flash it back, as long as your device can boot to loader/flashmode. can be flashed by rkflash,rkbatch(not really sure), rkflash_tools or any other compatible flasher, double check the start address or device partition parameters in the flasher, if there was any, this was the first major error that i did to my tablet, flashed a wrong cwm recovery in the incorrect start address. rkbatchtool doesnot have these i think but rkflashtool does

-if you have the original.zip from the vendor, you can put this file in the root of a external or internal sd(Adb push to copy in the internal).. You must be able to access the recovery mode for your device. You can adb remount, adb push orig.zip /mnt/sdcard or external_sd or somewhere else where you can push file. then apply update or restore from zip package, to avoid errors and make a clean update/restore, wipe data and cache before doing the steps. more option / tools / command / advanced and much easier if you have already installed a WORKING CWM.

-- you can access recovery mode by adb , removing/clearing the system partition(Not really sure but happened to me, boot priorities of my device is system - recovery - bootloader/flash), or by button combination, which is usually the vol+ and power, must do the combination while the device is off and hold it for a few seconds...

-if you have an original.fw, use batchtools to flash it back, the most easiest way for me to flash a fw for a rk device, but also the most difficult to find rom compatible, Cant use backup.img or tar or dump.imgs here, it checks for a certain structure.

-if update.img or update.zip from the vendor, you can try pushing/copying it to the root folder of your sdcard or external_sd. push it in the /mnt folder

im currently on my 5th day in my android venture, and will be around, im still trying to fix some remaining errors in the dumps of my unpopular unsupported device. I will be around if i can help,

oh and if you cant detect your device, try these...
-double check then make a final check that you have installed the flash driver for your device, usually attached with the flashtools. and make sure that no unknown device or device with no drivers in windows.

-Reset button then plug, wait for a few seconds, scan hardware changes,,, if still not...

-Hold Reset Button, then plug it to computer, and if the device led is off or does not turn on, press/hold the power button, this will light up the leds, but if you dont release the reset button before you release the power, it will be turned off again.

-if all else fail, you will have to look for the nand chip, and pray that it is a hynix one, especially the h27ucg8t2atr or hynix 27 8gb, other variants or hynix nand can still be entered to mask rom mod. if you are lucky, you might find a jumper/switch on the board that will make it automatically a factory built device or masked rom mode,. This is how i revived my tablet, after fully bricking it by nand idb erase + flashing incorrect parameter
and leaving my device with no loader no recovery no system no kernel )

EDIT:
i've just checked the link, and i saw that you are fully bricked unreadable, you might need to open up your tablet, try first some of what ive written, until you are 100% or almost 100% sure that you cannot detect the device in any way,

use an rk flashtool, especially made for rk29 devices i think, 1.37 is the highest version i've found but i am using a 1.35 moded by finless to flash.

extract you original fw, into multiple images,

most important parts are
Loader.bin
Parameter
kernel.img


i think even without these other images you can now start detecting your device in usb, reinstall the drivers, as it will be a fresh device out of the box after reloading the loader.bin find a compatible rk2918Loader.bin. use our bestfriend, google,

boot.img
recovery.img
system.img

my device are also detectable in dead/off state where the device is turned off, (android debug tool compat device)
i think you can adb reboot bootloader here

if you can open up and makesure that your nandchip is the same as what i am talking about in the previous step regarding the nand, You can follow finless steps in enteing masked rom, or follow these for a shorter (Actually these is pretty long already )


0 Press reset or make sure 100% that your device is turned off

1 remove any charger/usb connector first.

2 locate the nandchip, might be close to the processor chip or edge. You can find a HYNIX, if it is a hynix nand, and the h27-model id or hy/hc-model id

if the same chip with the h27ucg8t2atr (or chip with same hardware features, NOT SPECS)
just count 8 from the top of the legs/pins of the chip in the left, (UPPER LEFT IS 1), in the position where you can normally read the letters/numbers. A magnifying glass can surely help in this process, plus with an aid of assistant,

then after you located the 8th pin, connect it to pin 9, next pin below the 8th, with any metal or tools that can short circuit the two pins. In my case, ive used a flat end precision kit (size 2.0 flat) to short circuit it, it fits in the middle of the two leg so it will be mounted and can avoid misalignment while we do this

Hold the jumper tool or keep it short circuited then insert the cable to the PC, Call your assistant if you have one,

then once you see the masked rom mode, You can release the short circuit and start flashing.

some important Facts:

Run as admin the Tools in win vista or higher just to make sure it works 100%

advice,

For safety precaution, remove any other removable device (including lcds, connected with a flex cables and power cable, memory cards, etc.




If you did all that and still not able to revive your device, (ive done most of what i've typed and revived mine, WITHOUT ORIG FW from the Factory or any other firmware file for my device, CREDITS to LEONAS btw because he made a CWM recovery for my device from my dump of recovery.img and provided some assistance, i have 1 romdump and 1 nandroid/cwm backup from a working and a semi working state.)

last option, (based on my logic, just a simple theory,) Go buy a new compatible nand for your device, better yet, buy a similar and read the manual, especially the pin shorting if it has any way to fool your board & procie or cpu that you have no NAND installed. If no option to do that , might be able to do a workaround with unsoldering the nand, or power legs of nand, then make it get detected with no nand then Support it with you hand, to fully connect the legs, and make a flash to it... just hope that it works, didnt get to the point where i had to test my theory....

Hope you fix your tablet soon....

Try any ways to connect your device to the pc or any other android with usb on the go, or maybe yours have a usb on the go,

Then use adb tools

adb reboot bootloader,

or

if you had use a flasher, you can normally insert and turn on your device it will be pink in rkbatch tools or rock usb mass storage on rkflashtools then there is a button to reboot to flash mode

or

you can also connect to the pc and adb thru wifi,

or


i dont think you can flash it without making it connect to your pc in the most simple way, (wifi needs configs, cant flash thru wifi when bricked. Ethernet might work but may not too, just try anything and everything, )

you might be able to connect with ethernet, try adb listening to the port and ip of the device (Port is the allowed port for the device, specified in the system/build.prop if i am not mistaken, and you can also try default port. check in the router if any ip will be given for the device in the DHCP. ENABLE DHCP in the router first to make the device auto fetch ip from router, or if device have static ip , then try connecting thru it

you can try to look for a nand connector to pc, unsolder the nand from your device, connect to pc then mount it flash the rom, then resolder / remount it back to the device, (these are just my imagination i dont have any ideas how much fact is in there )


try usb M - usb M connector, i know that normal pc can communucate with that kind of cable, nor very sure though,

 

[yooyo3d]

Its fixed now. I have flash tool for Windows and crazy drivers (they won't install properly but forcing them to install works). Trick is to short connect recovery pins on board and turn on power. Connect device with USA A-A cable, using bottom left USB port on device. Then windows should detect rockchip class in device manager. Run flash tool, select firmware image and flash image.

Rockchip is unbrickable. All you need is:
- flash tool
- original image
- to put device in recovery mode (nand flash)
Last one is bit tricky and depends on device. I have set-top box based on rk3066 and it doesnt have any physical buttons. But, when I open it there is a pins on board marker with "recovery". So.. turn off your device, connect with PC using usb cable, connect recovery pins and connect charger. Keep recovery pin connected 5-10 sec. PC should detect device. On windows you need proper driver. On linux, im not sure.. I didnt try yet.
Then just flash device and after its finished device should start regular boot.
This is my experience based on settop box. I dont have any rk based tablet, but I think procedure is more or less same. Entering in recovery depends on manufacturer.

Last one is bit tricky and depends on device. I have set-top box based on rk3066 and it doesnt have any physical buttons. But, when I open it there is a pins on board marker with "recovery". So.. turn off your device, connect with PC using usb cable, connect recovery pins and connect charger. Keep recovery pin connected 5-10 sec. PC should detect device. On windows you need proper driver. On linux, im not sure.. I didnt try yet.
Then just flash device and after its finished device should start regular boot.
This is my experience based on settop box. I dont have any rk based tablet, but I think procedure is more or less same. Entering in recovery depends on manufacturer.

can u show a photo of recovery pin ?
