Next book ROMs

My Ramos W13Pro AMlogic was pre-rooted in a way. I was able to ADB to it and type su and got the # prompt back.
What we need for sure is uImage dump (boot.img is the same). This will give us the kernel and boot which is the most important part!

Get Android Terminal Emulator. Run it and at the $ prompt type su
If it returns with # it means you have root access.

If you do not get # it is not pre rooted. However you can do this command without root I think
cat /proc/mtd

This will show the mounted blocks. We need to dump those to SDcard using DD command.

See my previous replies to you on other threads. I think you are mistaken about which tablet you have. According to Nextbook tech support, they only made two versions of Nextbook Premium 8 SE and both of them have screen resolutions of 800x600, 500MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal NVRAM. I think you have a Nextbook Premium 10. Screen size is measured diagonally, from corner to corner of the display. Measure yours - height, width, and diagonally and report the results back here. Also, you can check your model by going to the "Settings" page, selecting "About tablet", and looking at "Model number". Report that here, and, while you are at it, report the "Android version", too.

Sure I have 8 inch screen tablet with 8 GB internal memory......
Model Next8P12, Android version 4.0.3.
If you still not believing I will show you screen shot..... :-)

Bob,

I have one of the amlogic tablets. I am more than willing to reset it factory setting and helping any way I can. I am linux illiterrate but not computer stupid.

I downloaded an emulator and the su command failed. The cat one dud generate info, but no idea on to dump the items to a sd card. Someone want to try to walk me through it?

Thx for helping us out with this. Everyone too.

There is no su command, there is no /xsys directory.

I found the apk for Android Terminal Emulator and installed it. Using it I still don't have access to the /data directory, but I now have write access to the sd card, both internal and external.

Her are the mounted blocks, via adb in windows command shell:

shell@android:/ $ cat /proc/mtd
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00100000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00800000 00200000 "logo"
mtd2: 00800000 00200000 "aml_logo"
mtd3: 00800000 00200000 "recovery"
mtd4: 00800000 00200000 "boot"
mtd5: 20000000 00200000 "system"
mtd6: 08000000 00200000 "cache"
mtd7: 20000000 00200000 "userdata"
mtd8: b5400000 00200000 "NFTL_Part"
shell@android:/ $

If you can walk me through the process of dumping what you need to the external SD card I will try it and get back to you today.

The path to the external SD card is /mnt/sdcard/external_sdcard.

BTW, after being denied a ROM image file, I requested source code from their tech support - don't they have to provide this as a condition for using Google's open source OS code? If I got that, could you create a new ROM from it?

Why would their tech support deny making a tablet with your specs? It is not just the display size, but the RAM and NVRAM specs, as well. Did you buy your tablet outside the US?

Forget the screen shot - it will probably just report whatever the ROM you have loaded says. Just tell me what the dimensions of your display are - height, width, and diagonally.

The silence is deafening...

I'm about to try Superoneclick - someone, stop me!

LOL no, do it! I'm linux stupid, wish I could help out. If anyone needs me to do anything on mine with the AML processor, feel free to let me know.

I'd rather continue with the process Bob started on Saturday, but it seems he has abandoned us on the verge of success!

[Finless]

I really cannot help to much now since you dont have root of any kind to dump it.

I imagine like Rockchip it might be possible to read NAND RAW like the Linux RKflash tool does (does not require root) but I bet that tools code would need to be modified.

Bob

[eegorr]

What was the point of this, then?

However you can do this command without root I think
cat /proc/mtd

This will show the mounted blocks. We need to dump those to SDcard using DD command.

See my previous messages. How do I go about this?

The dimensions of my Next8P12 display is - height 8", width 6" and For other information please see attached images.
