TechVendetta ROM Developement

[TechVendetta]

Flashing the new recovery right? I use a laptop for everything, which is what the gpu died in. I'm actually quite lucky it had a backup integrated graphics chip. I'm currently working on kernel patching for the tablets now, when this is done its going to have to update everything but uboot so far.

Should I wait?

It is a SYTABEX7

I forgot how much I like the smaller tab (VS the 10")

 

[TechVendetta]

For the sytabex7(cvs) flashing the recovery causes no damage and doesn't affect normal operation. The 7-2's with no otg however have to be restored because after sdflashing, their updater and the recovery get caught in a boot loop. I'm looking into this issue. Back up and restore works great in my recovery tho. And I'm working on a couple ways to make getting into it easier.

I am going skeet shooting..... starting with the 10 and ending with the 7.....

I got the jacked up ex7 that I can't usb flash and the only machine I have that connects to it doesn't have a SD card reader.... I am going to have to tear in to it and put in a reader. This betta be good!

IF you have the CVS sytabex7 model, no hdmi, you should be able to rename my recovery file as recovery_rd.img and use a bootable sd to flash it. If you dont already have an sd with the modified start sector, I can probably make an easy to use image, but it wont work on the upgraded 7". Its flashes, then bootloops, requiring a restore. So far the only difference I see is bmagic values....

This is like the 3rd or 4th one from DG. So I am uncertain where it came from. It is an EX7 and it DOES have the mHDMI.

OTG port works. It is just that the recovery doesn't seem to take. I can run through it like you state but when it gets to the unplug USB and restart, it goes back to normal operation. Nothing has changed.

SYTABEX7
2.2.1-7b1
2.6.32.9 neville@neville-desktop #3
11.2.1.5

 

[TechVendetta]

That's normal. You then have to type su then reboot recovery in terminal emulator or use reboot recovery option in rom manager to boot into it.

 

[lorenii]

ok, back on path.

only issue that I see is there is no back out (/rootdir) in the recovery area....

 

[lorenii]

I smell like plastic cups.

(a.k.a.- Fixed it! Thanks TechV)

So it's finals, in my Linux Security Administration class I have a research paper assignment that has to relate to Linux, here's my running title: REVERSE ENGINEERING ANDROID
It will document how I got this far and a bit of information on where I am now.

I have a disgo 6000 and have been trying to use you recovewry image but really struggling.


I have flashed the recovery image and then run su followed by reboot recovery from terminal. The tablet then loads "CWM Based recovery v4.0.1.5" which i installed previously but i can't get it to boot the recovery. i am a little lost here and don't know what to do. should i try to remove the Clockwork mod (CWM) recovery or is there an option that i've missed that will get it to work?


actually i've just noticed that there is a tech vendetta logo in the back ground of the recovery. where do i go from here?

Hello Techvendetta, just ordered a[FONT=Arial, Geneva, sans-serif] SYNET7LP and wanted to help out with the CM9 porting. Do you have a repo that you're using, or are you just working locally? (tried to check the website in your sig but it drupal was throwing back an SQL error [/FONT](already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections)

 

[TechVendetta]

Probably since it's almost time to renew my domain. As for Jam, that was a release of a working clockwork recovery, sounds like you just confirmed it works on the disgo 6000. Currently I'm working locally, eventually I'll get hub everything, I was planning to do it after I get one build with proper display on cm9. I still kinda build my recovery and kernel in a separate tree tho....I need to quit being lazy and merge them after finals. If you know what your doing and wanna help out behind the scenes add me on g+ and swing by the irc every now and then. I'm usually in the channel during a build or a test.

Sounds like a good paper, currently for one of my finals i am writing "Linux, Android, and its impact on the End User"

Sounds great! My tab still hasn't arrived yet, so i'm just researching at the moment, but I got my hands on a Raspberry Pi recently so once I can tear myself away from builds for that I'll definitely be checking in here.
