Pipo M9 Max RileyROM 2.5

[babyboy3265]

so the new 2.5 is still not operational?

[portugues]

Download RileyROM 2.4, extract it to a folder, run the flashing tool v1.37 (should be in the top folder of the extracted file), insert the USB lead to the tablet and the PC. Press the ESC button down for 5 seconds, keeping the ESC button pressed insert a paperclip into the RESET button on the back of the tablet and press it in for 5 seconds, then with the ESC button AND the RESET buttons pressed also press the POWER button for 5 seconds.

Here the pipo start, but appears the android with the signal red.

You should now see the flashing tool recognise the tablet.

The tool don't recognise

I don't understand. I installed the room 2.4 and before the room has intalled i tried to install the 2.5, and i'm stick here in the red signal.
No recovery menu, nothing ...

I'm very sad. I did shit with my tablet

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards,

Edit: Ok, my pc recognise the tablet. I had the charging plug in. Mesnwhile i remove the charge and the pc recognised the tablet, but appears other problem:

the writing data to flash stop in 46232K instead to finish at 634008K
in other words, the download file fail.

Suggestions?

And thanks in advance

Edit #2: I installed the rom Pipo_M9__wifi_4.2.2_RileyROM_1.5. the touch don't work ... I'll try to upgrade now for the 2.4. wish me luck.

Edit #3: Solved. Thank you for your pacience. When the 2.5 is operational give me a call.

Cheers all,

I can't tell you much more as I am not an expert. What I told you is what worked for me. Perhaps I would try and erase the NAND many times until it correctly erases. I think I read in another forum that the erase might need 2 attempts. Other than that you will need to wait until Randy wakes up (still early morning in USA) and see if he has any other advice.

OK, guys...thanks for you patients. Yes, the current 2.5 ROM isn't operational. Stay Tuned for an update.

About your flashing problems...erasing IDB fails when you have a USB connection problem. Make sure you are using the same cable that came with the tablet. That is important, because the Pipo cables come with a longer micro USB plug to reach into the tablet's connector port more firmly.

Make sure you are not using a USB 3.0 port on your PC. The Rockchip drivers only support USB 2.0.

Stay tuned for a fix to the ROM.

Here is yet another troubleshooting chore for someone to try.

This is a revised kernel from the original ROM dump.

Download

Unzip the kernel.img from this archive and place it in the RileyROM folder of the 2.5.1 ROM...and flash the whole ROM. It should boot, OK.

If that doesn't work, take the recovery.img from the 2.4 ROM and flash it, instead of the one from this ROM.

Tell me how that works. I can then put together a whole ROM kit with the fixes in place.

Hello @rrileypm


I didn't tested your last kernel with the 2.5.1 FW but I flashed it on my RR 2.4 and it's ok.
btw, the previous ones didn't!
Now: #117 3.0.36+ dated 02.13.2014
2 hours now without any problems.
Working fine on my Pipo M9 Max bought in december 2013 (Goodix).
I'll test the complete 2.5.1 after the holiday.
Your misc.img is a clean one? no wipe?

Have a good easter and thanx for all your releases.

Long-version

I downloaded and copied the new kernel into my 2.5.1 folder, ran flashing tool v1.37, erased NAND, flashed the ROM (2.5.1 plus new kernel), the flashing and re-checking went OK, the tablet automatically rebooted, the kernel logo came up, the new boot animation came up ("RileyRom", "Pipo M9 Max", "Freaktab.com" all with a spinning ellipse - I prefer this to the pulsating rings on 2.4), and then the welcome screen of a clean Android tablet came up.

One thing I noticed was that the first time I tried to reboot to flash mode the kernel logo came up and I had to wait for it to boot to the Android screen and then reboot to flash mode again. Not really a problem but I thought I'd just mention it.

Also as I was erasing the NAND I saw the following 2 lines

INFO: Start to lower format
INFO: Doing Lower format, Total(4096),Current(xxx)

with xxx increasing from 0, 196 and so on to 4090 (not 4096), and then the 2 lines above ended up looking like the following

INFO: Start to lower format
INFO: Doing Lower format, Total(0),Current(6)
INFO: Lower format OK
INFO: Erasing IDB OK

I am guessing this is just a display bug in the v1.37 flashing tool as I note the final Current(6) plus the last value I saw of Current(4090) make a total of 4096 which matches the initial Total(4096).

Summary - it all worked!

Thanks Randy. Is your new packaged version just going to be the broken 2.5.1 + this downloaded kernel? If so I can continue setting up my tablet but if you are creating a 2.5.2 with some extra bits I might wait a while.

Tested latest kernel on rr2.4, no issues.

[sahor]

Thank you so much for your work. I follow you every day hoping you get a reliable, fast and better firmware for our M9.
I dont have the knowledge for help you in the process,
In any case, thank you from Spain.
I trust

Battery

Gents, this is my battery record with moderate use...

it went around 13 days with the RR 2.4 and the 667 kernel that dnkn posted a while ago... (no underclocks)

Inverted Axis

Hi, i'm a big fan of your RileyRoms and i have tried your new rom in my max succesfully with the alternative kernel. Everything is perfect, but i would want to ask you something that another user asked you a while, and is to make a rom version with the y axis inverted. This is something that appears when the screen is repaired with new parts, and knowing that this will be the last firmware, you could make us a great favour. Thanks for your time and your hard work.

[rrileypm]

I will look into that. Right off hand, I don't remember where that setting is. I'm traveling out of town this weekend, so hopefully I can post a solution for that early next week.

Thanks for your support!!!!!!!!!!!

[remi252]

please post new version without error with new kernel and name 2.5.2

thanks
