PROJECT: Reviving a Hard Bricked Kyros

Lfom, wait... There is no more problem on my usb port... Was just the cable. I tried another data cable and it works (it´s a shame, I know, sorry....).<br>I´m doing the procedure to root right now. I will post my u-boot as soon as possible...
 
I did the script process, got superuser installed and a 0 byte logrooting.txt, but in terminal emulator and ADB I still get the $ intead #.
When I try to extract the u-boot from de external SD I still get:


"dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk1': Permission denied"

I´ve tried yesterday with superoneclick and got the same. My tablet is not rooted or I´m doing something wrong?

Otherwise, I think the u-boot was successfully extracted to external SD card. Maybe there´s another way to send it to you...

You deafult.prop isn't patched so adb won't give you root unless you first do a "su" and authorize it in Superuser.

OK, so let's try this: first, open Terminal Emulator or connect tablet with USB and Debug enabled.

If using adb, type:
Code:
adb shell
su
and authorize Superuser. If on Terminal Emulator, simply use "su" without the quotation marks and then ENTER/RETURN key, then authorize in Superuser.

Now the code to extract u-boot (make sure microSD used with steev's utscript is in external SD slot):

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1 of=/sdcard/u-boot1025_v4.bin bs=512 count=2048

strings /sdcard/u-boot1025_v4.bin | grep -i u-boot
The second line should show you some strings from the file so you can see if it's really the u-boot. The file should be in your /sdcard partition, ready to be uploaded. ;)

Still no joy with WiFi: when one tries to enable it, tablet freezes or restart... When you can, please share two more folders:
1. system -> wifi
2. system -> etc

Thanks again!
 
I checked all the /dev/mtd/* files, couldn't find a u-boot in them.

Here is the utscript I made

Directions:

Note: this will erase all data on your external sdcard (including the partition table)

-Unzip and copy utscript to your sdcard

-Boot your tablet while holding the HOME button

-If it hangs at "Writing u-boot to extsd...", wait about 30 seconds then power off your tablet

-Turn on your tablet and connect it to your computer via USB

-Use adb to extract u-boot from your sdcard;
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1 of=u-boot.bin bs=512 count=2048

-To verify the file is a u-boot:
Code:
adb shell strings u-boot.bin | grep -i u-boot
You should see output like:
Code:
ÁâÃ!ÁâÃ)ÁâÃ1ÁâÃ9ÁâÃU-Boot 1.3.4 (Sep  8 2011 - 09:17:35) for SMDKV210
u-boot
U-Boot
u-boot parted
movi read  {u-boot | kernel} {addr} - Read data from sd/mmc
movi write {fwbl1 | u-boot | kernel} {addr} - Write data to sd/mmc
ready for self-burning U-Boot image

-Finally, pull the file:
Code:
adb pull u-boot.bin

For the record: this procedure works. The file is much bigger than the normal u-boot, so I did some research and it seems that the end of the actual u-boot is the hex string 120CF0FF.
 
@Fbox: Still no joy: WiFi won't work in bricked tablets with the CFW I made.

May I ask for more help?

1. Open Terminal Emulador or use "adb shell" while connected through USB, then run "lsmod" and paste the results here.

2. Backup system folder: it will take a while and create a ~80MB file in /sdcard:
Code:
su  <--- authorize Superuser
cd /
mkdir /sdcard/bkp_system
cp * /sdcard/bkp_system
tar -czf /sdcard/bkp_system/system.tgz /system/

This should create a folder "bkp_system" in your /scdcard with the system files. Could you please zip this folder and host it online? Thanks again!

If anyone has an idea why WiFi isn't working since they both seem to have the same Atheros WiFi chip (ar6000.ko driver), please chime in. ;)
 
I tride ISMOD and nothing happens, them I tried INSMOD, and got this:

#INSMOD


BusyBox v1.16.0 (2010-02-26 14:52:34 HKT) multi-call binary.


Usage: insmod [-qfwrsv] MODULE [symbol=value...]


Options:
-q Quiet
-f Force
-w Wait for unload
-r Remove module (stacks) or do autoclean
-s Report via syslog instead of stderr
-v Verbose


#

I think should choose one of the options but I don´t know which of them...

The link to the system folder:



system.tgz - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download


About the wifi problem, I don´t imgine what can it be...
 
"lsmod", starts with L, all lower case. ;)

Thanks for the system files!

Hmm... I´m really distracted these days....
