Dear all,
I finally could factory reset my MID X5A/X6D (thanks to l_n and Loomix)
tablet and root it (I used the z4root apk that worked as a champ on my tablet).
I'm now at the point where I'd like to upgrade to Android 2.2.
First of all: on the box there is written that is an X5A, but in the Settings--> Device Information it says that it is an X6D. What ROM should I be looking for?
Anyway, I understood that the roms for my tablet are the one from the team telechip
at the website in the subject.
I would like to give a try to the experimental ROM but the instructions (I'm pasting them below) are not very clear to me:
If so after I've installed it on my tablet how do I flash recovery.NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLET.img into recovery partition?
(and where is the recovery partition?)
Say I succeed to flash the recovery rom.
The instructions follow:
why 3 files? It only mentions two files...
Which is the nandroid backup directory in the SD card?
How do I use the restore function in ClockworkMod recovery?
I guess that for an experienced developer these steps are quite easy, but I'm not an experienced developer, so don't blame me too much
If I can succeed I'd like to write a "newbies" step by step guide.
I've seen that in the various forums many people have the same issues I'm having
but to find an easy to follow solution is quite hard
Ah, I was forgetting: on my computer I've Linux, so I'd prefer to perform operations
using adb (like adb push and so on) since many tools for this task run under Windows but not under Ubuntu.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
Cheers, -Luca

download recovery.NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLET.img.zip, unzip it, then flash recovery.NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLET.img into recovery partition.

The instructions follow:
Do I need to follow the CyanogenMod step as well?CyanogenMod
download NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLET.zip and system.img.zip, unzip them. they are nandroid backup images. to flash them, copy 3 files into single directory under nandroid backup directory in SD card, then use restore function in ClockworkMod Recovery.
