*** Official Release 3 ***

Language Translation welcome:
Some of the mod are done purely on English. Anyone wishing to translate to his native language can pass me the translation to be added.

As this is based on Freescale R10.3.1, there are likely to be features that are working in v2.3.3r03c that is not working in this beta rom.

More testing and feedback means better rom. If you have used an usb hardware that work on the rom, please do share.

Some users reported boot loop(stuck in boot animation) after upgrading, you need to use "adb shell wipe data" and restart the tablet. As this will wipe your data, you might want to consider backing it up with application such as titanium backup before flashing v2.3.4. You can also do a factory reset using KKMod ROM Utility(HOME+MENU)

Installation Steps

1. Download update-v2.3.4.zip
2, Connect USB from Table to PC and enable USB from statusbar
3. Copy update-v2.3.4.zip to Tablet
4. Boot into KKMod ROM Utility using HOME + MENU
5. ROM Update-> update-v2.3.4.zip

Enable 3G Support
-If disable, rom will not load phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk which is required for 3G. Enable if you have 3G connection

OpenDNS using DHCP
- By default, ROM will using OpenDNS for name to IP address resolution. In most cases, this is expected to improve browsing experiences. Disable to use your ISP DNS

try adb shell rm -R /data/dalvik*/*

if it does not work, you have to do a "adb wipe data" which is like a factory reset.

which one did you try? and what do you see on your pc after you tried out the command?

 

[y110]

after i say the command and pres enter then it say nothing...

 

[KillerKink]

after i say the command and pres enter then it say nothing...

then something is wrong. when you do "adb shell wipe data", there should be a message saying wiping data.

In any case, when you try the first command, you need to restart the unit. If it does not work, try the 2nd one and also restart.

 

[y110]

i tried it too.... when i type the fist command it say othing and after i write second commnd it say done wipe data....but the same problem occured... when i flash the image back it still suck at the kkmod gingerbread logo....

I get a message "error flashing system image" the udisk did fine. I need to work on it when I can fire up my lap top. I notice also even though the tablet says its in flash mode the rom kit cant connect most of the time. I keep trying and it connects finally and allows me to do what I need to. Right now my tab is also stuck in the boot animation also but it's because I don't think the system image updated correctly or at all Ill keep trying.

 

[y110]

yeah.... my problem is same with yours...i always get error say :'error flash system.img" and when i tried for many time finally it say sending uramdisk okay ..... writing uramdisk okay..... and when i flash the system image it say sending system image ______ bytes okay... writing sytem image okay... then when reboot my tablet it got stuck at the bot animation....

do a "adb shell wipe data" and restart tablet. As long as the system.img get a write ok, its fine.

if its still in bootloop after the above steps, do a "adb logcat" and capture the output and post here.
