Pipo S2 RileyROM 1.0

[rrileypm]

This is the first release of a ROM for the Pipo S2 8" tablet.

This new ROM is rooted with ext4 file system, init.d support, 2gb user app space and CWM support.

Please look at the ReadMeFirst file for details.

I do not have an actual S2 tablet to test, however I used the M5 as a test platform, and the ROM works fine on it. Anyone with an S2 please test and provide feedback.

I'm still working on polishing the CWM a little more, but I was able to get it to work with a few steps on the user's part. My next release will fix that issue.

Here is the link to the download thread:

If this is the first time you are flashing one of our ROM's, you may encounter some challenges in installing Windows drivers. Please download this First Time User Guide to help you throught the process:

Sorry, I can't explain much, since I don't understand much about it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Anyway, at first this rom didn't work on my S2. After flashing, it booted into CWM fine but after rebooting the device didn't load - just plain black screen. Turning the device off/on didn't help. It still entered into flashing mode with no problems using hardware buttons.
I also tried repacking your rom using Wendal's tools, but when I got an error when trying to load the firmware in RKBatchtool.
The rom worked only when I reflashed the kernel I took from another rom I was using before. Also, I got the "Damaged Storage" error again after formatting the storage.
Something else might had been different too (besides the kernel) since I tried flashing different IMGs from a working rom without erasing NAND.

I just flashed this rom.

Since the recovery image has the same kernel in it, that might be the problem.

Let me make a new recovery without that kernel, and you can then try using your other kernel.

I'll post a new rom tonight to try.

Thanks for testing.

OK, on this recovery.img, I split the kernel. This isn't CWM. I am having a hard time getting CWM to run on these Pipo's. As soon as I figure that out, I can start offering CWM with my ROM's, but until then...it is stock recovery for me.

Here is the link:

Just put it in the RileyROM folder and rename your old recovery...recoveryold.img
Then rename this one recovery.img

It should go ahead and format your internal sd for you.

As for the kernel...try using this kernel again...and if that doesn't work, just use that other one.

If you can send me a link to the other kernel, I can add it to the kit to use as a choice.

I just tested it and it works on my M5.

You have to wait a few minutes for it to initialize after the first boot. Then you should be in business.

Yup. Thanks! Stock recovery works just fine. No more "damaged storage" error.

Tried it again - still no luck with your kernel. So I used stock kernel instead.
Now about that. This device has at least 2 hardware variations with different front camera. There are 2 different stock kernel versions for each of them. This one (taken from 20121123 stock rom) I think is for the most common version of S2. For the less common version this one should be used (taken from the "new camera" stock rom; the ""S2_20120912"stock rom also has the same).

I just tested it and it works on my M5.

You have to wait a few minutes for it to initialize after the first boot. Then you should be in business.

Re: Pipo S2 RileyROM 1.0 Testers Needed

That is a common feature/problem with most Rockchip tablets starting with 3066 and carried over to 3188. There really isn't a solution except to press the power button and put it to sleep mode while charging...that's what I do.

Sleep mode how can i put on sleepmode? Tnx for answering

[rrileypm]

I just tap the power button for a short second. The screen shuts off. Then just press the power button again and the screen comes back on.

The features are in the second paragraph of post#1.

I may do an update to this one, since I've cleaned up my process after I did that ROM.

I can now add larger app space if you want.
