I'm not sure what you mean by DA

I think: Download Agent

When you load the scatter file, it populates all of the default files as if you are flashing the stock firmware.

If you want to select a custom EBR set, click in the "location" field on the EBR1 line a browse window will pop up in the RileyROM folder. Select the EBR1 file with the number associated with the desired user app space. Do the same thing with the EBR2 file making sure you select the EBR2 file with the same number.

ok,that part i get it.
And what about loading an DA?

Open the checksum.ini file and change the value to zero.

Working now,but if i press "download" it's asking me to load a download agent.What do i have to choose?
Also,i don't understand how do i do this point:
4. Select the desired EBR1 and EBR2 files for the user app space size you wish to create. They MUST MATCH.
I can't select a thing,everithing is loaded from scatter file.

@rrileypm:I tried today to open your rom,but i receive the error msg as u can see in the photo.
Unpacking the archive was ok and if i load from original rom all it's ok.
Any help will be apreciated.

As I've mentioned before in this thread, I'm unable to make a CWM Recovery for this tablet with the files I currently have. The MTK Droid Tools app has a way to make CWM Recovery from the files...or directly from the tablet connected via USB. Each time I use the app to make the CWM with the files, I get the same error posted earlier in this thread.

My suggestion is for someone with one of these tablets to attempt to make a CWM Recovery with MTK Droid Tools by using the USB method and see if you get the same error. There is something about the way recovery.img is configured that prevents the tool from extracting.

I'm able to unpack recovery.img manually...but I'm still trying to figure out how to manually make the CWM. Stay tuned.

Tuned i'll stay

I will look into making a CWM today. I seem to remember there was a problem making the CWM with the tool I normally use, so I may have to do some manual tweaking. Stay tuned.

I'm entering here every day,so i will watch for your work
Anyway,i don't thik that i will have the tablet in less than 2 weeks.
Also,from the posts here i don't really get it: v1.1 is working good or not?

hello,hello...is there anybody in there?

[Klaus69]

Hi Randy,did u manage to make CWM or TWRP for this?
I am waiting my tablet to arive from China and u are the only one working an custom rom for this,so i depend on u
Also,i see no new reports about how this rom works

[dzenk]

Well I was thinking of opening the device. But then I would have to break the warranty seal. Since the shop offers a good aftersale service and the shippment to China was not too expensive I decided to send it back for repair.
Hopefully everything goes well and they don't read this thread .

sadly but these instructions came too late for me. Appearently my preloader was damaged during the flash attempt. So no further reflash attempts with your or stock firmwares were succesfull.
My Chuwi is on the way to China; hopefully the vendor can repair or replace it...

I think that the issue was caused by my desktop PC. It really took a long time to load the flashtool.
Then after I've all done correctly and pressed the download button nothing happened for about 10 minutes. So I disconnected the tablet but I couldn't start it any more.
Later I tried to reflash with an acient XP laptop. Everything ran really smooth and much faster than with the quad core Win7 desktop but I couldn't save anything - and I tried a lot.

I had the same problem.
I opened the Tablet very easy with a guitar pen, unpluged the battery connector, re plug it again and worked.
I then installed the RileyROM 1.1.
The problem I have now is that I cannot install CWM recovery, and when I download some .apk(like xbmc), they cannot opened to run.

Another problem i have with RileyROM 1.1 is that when I reboot the Tablet it looses all the settings.
