ClockworkMod Recovery with Touch Support for Allwinner A10-based Tablet

[crash]

Thank you so much for your hard work! I will try it out right away.

 

[nizar07]

here it is : Romkit v.12
I saw the setup and the hardkey control is the same for a10c that I built eariler and your touchscreen driver is built-in. The challenge for a10c is that it cant get into CWM. Please select a10c for installation of CWM after you have installed the romkit.

volume buttons to control up/down and home button to select.

Do test out the buttons and touch.


yes, if the CWM works for you it will work for other yinlips ydpg18 with the same hardware. take note those that this is based on gingerbread. for table with ics, this will not work. I am not sure your yinlips will get similar partition structure in future firmware release.

sir , it will work on my TreQ A10C now ?

 

[KillerKink]

sir , it will work on my TreQ A10C now ?

no, i did not make any change. waiting for crash to confirm if it will work on his tab.

 

[nizar07]

no, i did not make any change. waiting for crash to confirm if it will work on his tab.

okay, i hope it will work on his tab.

 

[KillerKink]

okay, i hope it will work on his tab.

while you are waiting, maybe you can try the following:

1. down android terminal from the market
2. type "su" <enter>
3 type "busybox" <enter>

let me know if busybox show any output.

 

[crash]

Installed, but unable to launch cwm. I do not have a physical vol up button, I tried to change the keymap under /usr/ still nothing.
Launching from the app... sometimes the screen blanks, sometimes it just hangs, sometimes I see an android with an exclamation point in a triangle with a loading animation, but only briefly then the screen freezes.
Many persons in the community for this device have tried to get the unit into some kind of recovery mode without success. (there is a safe mode... says so on the bottom left corner of the screen if you hold the Menu button while booting... but it looks the same, only missing the majority of the apps)

I'll let the group know about this rom and see if they would like to try it... I will reflash my device and reinstall the app, starting with a clean slate so to speak...

the android with the exclaimation mark is the recovery. you will see this when you do a factory reset. this mean that the cwm is not installed or have been overwritten. I need to check your rootfs.img.

can you install android terminal from the market and do the following?

1. su <enter>
2. busybox

let me know what is the output. dont use adb.

[crash]

okay, weird, but re-installed and gets a little further into booting cwm... I see the screen but no touch controls work and because I cannot choose any other selection it reboots (first selected menu item)
this could be related to su problems... as this unit hangs when updating busybox and/or superuser (the su.bin on this device is in the /xbin dir? don't understand why)

edit: more weird

CWM - based Recovery v5.0.2.8 is visible at times, but says telcast p76ti (r2)

I know I am choosing the a10, but is it the right rom?... is it worth the effort to try the other?

also, so long as I use absolutely no su ... I can install anything... so busybox is now at 1.19.5 and installation of CWM seems much better.

currently the unit in CWM will reboot when i push the analog stick down... this is the only button or input that has any effect (only in CWM)

Did you manage to run su?

To my knowledge, a10-based device came rooted without the need to install new su and superuser.apk. That could be the cause of the issue.

The touch was tested only on capacitive touchscreen and not resistive so I will not be surprise if it will not work. I have another tablet that is using resistive but its not an a10-based. Will do that check later.

The reason why the button do not work if that I thought that you have the volume key. I will have to remapped to your up/down dpad.

[KillerKink]

here sir :

what did you get after doing "su"?

Did you try to root your tablet?

 

[nizar07]

what did you get after doing "su"?

Did you try to root your tablet?

when i type "su" ,i got a notification allow or deny, and i choose allow.

sure ,i follow your step

 

[KillerKink]

when i type "su" ,i got a notification allow or deny, and i choose allow.

sure ,i follow your step

Then the CWM should be able to install and you should be able to reboot into CWM.

I need to confirm that your tablet is compatible. Can you provide the following?

1. busybox dd if=/dev/block/nanda of=/sdcard/boot.img
2. busybox dd if=/dev/block/nandf of =/sdcard/recovery.img
3. dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
4. ls /dev/block/nand* > partition.txt

please provide me these 4 files. Before you do that, can you confirm that if you have manually root the tablet? Why is there allow/deny prompt?

 

[crash]

Yinlips... ydpg 18 ... now working with SU and BusyBox 1.19.3 and used su fixer from google play.
I can boot to the CWM, but still no controls other than pushing the analog stick down... will select the highlighted menu item.
