Lava Xtron RileyROM 1.0 [Without HDMI] Feedback Thread

Has anyone successfully flashed this ROM?

I don't see any feedback.

If not, there is more work to do.

Tablet not going beyond the boot logo

Riley Mate and Pradeep Soman,

Thanks to both of you for this wonderfull ROM, I have followed the instructions and flashed this ROM, but after flasing it goes to cwm screen and unable to mount anything, since cwm is not recognising both sd cards(Internal/External). I rebooted the tab thru cwm, but it didn't get past the boot logo.

Then I checked the flash tool, it has 5 files, whereas, the bootloader is unchecked. Should I give it a try checking it and reflash it again????

No...you don't need to check the loader.

Try flashing with stock recovery instead. See if that works.

Thanks Randy, but where can I find the stock recovery for this tab? is it incluced in the flash tool?? Also, when I try to replace any files from within the flashtool(trying to replace the files loaded automatically in the flastool) the tool freezes and closed by itself)

I'm using winxp and all drivers files are loaded and my tab is recognised by the laptop...

I would have to download the ROM kit to be specific, but...look in the RileyROM folder off the root of the flash kit. Within that folder, you should have recovery.img and either stockrecovery.img or cwmrecovery.img.

I thought I made the default as stock recovery, but I can't remember. All you have to do is rename recovery.img something else...then rename the stockrecovery.img to recovery.img. Then run the flash tool.

I have changed the recovery img and flashed again.. Flashing was success... tablet has booted and still on the boot logo... I will wait for 30 minutes to see if something happens and will post the result!!! Thanks Riley...

It's still a no go.....Tab boots and stays on the boot logo and didn't get past it... so, I flashed the original lava ROM from the update.img, posted by pradipsoman, and all is well now... But not sure, why your ROM couldn't get past the boot logo, even after the tab boots up....

[rrileypm]

Thanks for the report. I'll get to work on a redo in the morning. There is something I'm doing that causes the boot loop.

I decided not to wait.

I have put together a very basic rooted ROM with very few other tweaks.

Go ahead and see if this one works for you.

Just download from the same link on post #1.

Riley Mate,

I don't know, what magic you did... I flashed the ver1.0a. Everything went well and it booted this time and all went well... Battery standby time has increased massively than stock ROM... I will test this ROM rigorously, for one week, and will post the results.... Thank you once again for this wonderfull ROM....

BTW: Any chance for us to get CM or AOSP based ROM's for our Tabs??

Thank you so much for your wonderfull support and this awesome ROM....

[rrileypm]

I'm glad to hear we finally got it going!!!!!!!

I'm afraid without kernel sources (which I am not a kernel guy, by any means)...CM or AOSP won't be possible.

We can only hope that Lava will release firmware updates for this and the Xtron+ tablets.

If you happen to discover an update, let me know...and send me a link. I'll be happy to update my ROM.

Lost CWM

Riley Mate,

After flashing your ROM, I think, I lost cwm and stock recovery... Is there a way to get it back?? I want to try the new ROM posted by a user in our thread...

Just download it again. It's still on our server.

Most of my ROMs contain that same CWM file.
