Working on the tablet

[TeenFaces]

Updated first post with latest recovery img as of right now.
Hopefully sdcard now mounts...

Edited: two recoveries on frontpage, please try second one first. (both will boot but you'll get sdcard missing on only one hopefully )

The second recovery img from the front page is allowing some options and does boot just fine. There are two sdcards on the device so that is why it is launching two different screens at the same time in recovery. sdcard is the internal memory and sdcard2 is the real sdcard. So the code i had to use after i copied the recovery.img to my sdcard was this
flash_image recovery /sdcard2/recovery.img .... still can't mount sdcard

so you cant cant mount /dev/block/mmcblah (or /dev/block/mmcblah2)

give me the following and try recovery img one as well.
I need everyone with the tablet to run cat /proc/partitions in terminal and mount as well and paste both things together on here or on Nopaste and paste link.

Alright, you and justdroid have the same mount and /proc/partitions but shanksv mount is different with on one card.
Doesn't matter since /sdcard is the same for all of you but I still don't get why it doesn't mount when I do mount it.

I am about to consider going to bestbuy with laptop and testing out recovery on the in-store model until it works

Is this at all helpful? Sorry if this is dumb ha, I don't know how to cut and paste on the Android I guess, or there is no cut and paste. Also I have rooted, but I can't run SU in terminal, I'm using the "superuser" app but it will not give me the choice to give root to terminal although it works in other places. Not up to speed on Android yet I guess. This is from the Android System Information app.

I have also picked one of these up from BB, I think it is also a great tablet for the $. I have had some success playing around with the tablet, seems I have root via z4 app, titanium,quickboot,root explorer, Setcpu all seem to work..... Setcpu will allow you to pick 998 MHz on the slider but the max in green does not go past the 768 MHz.

I also wondered about adb, I get permission denied when running $ su,.
Does anyone else have any suggestions or a better method for root?

I also have not flashed any recovery yet as I noticed when rebooting into recovery via quickboot it seems to go straight to a factory reset/wipe, I did keep root but lost all apps/data. I was concerned that if I flashed one of the recovery.img from OP if I would loose that factory reset/wipe capability. Its nice to be able to wipe if you get in some crap..

I am pretty novice at this crap but do run a linux machine and been around awhile. would love to help any efforts for this cool little tab.... I think it could be just as nice as my evo (maybe close) with some good Devs..... imo

I don't get. Have you been able to install clockwork recovery? And get firmware backup?

 

[razor950]

Clockwork recovery installs and boots but issues with mounting sdcard (neither of the two).
My goal is to either continue trying to fix that or get adb to work to see check mount and partitions while in recovery.

 

[nicholasblock]

Is this of any help? It's the Init.rc file. Maybe usefull trying to figure out the sdcard mount issues.

Hit and hold on the page will allow you to select text and then give the cut and paste options.

Yes, that works some places, but not on that page.

 

[razor950]

I sent you a pm brachiopod.

I been working on a few things but I haven't heard from teenfaces, I should have a few testers still tho (feel free to pm if you'd like to test tho).


offtopic, I wish this site would email you when you receive a pm, makes it easier for people to notice
