Chuwi VX8 RileyROM 1.1

[dzenk]

Hello,
I was going to install your 1.1 rom into my vx8 but I think I destroyed it. I did as follows:
- downloaded and extracted your rom directory and flash tool
- opened the flash tool and loaded the scatter file as well as the loader file
- chose the firmware upgrade option
- switched the tablet off and connected it with pc, loaded the drivers
- Pressed the load button inthe flash tool

I waited about 10 minutes but nothing happend. I pluged the tablet out.

Now I cannot start the tablet, the pc recognizes it as unknown device, no driver installation is possible. I tried to reflash it, enter the recovery, all no go... I cannoct connect the pc to the tablet...
Any ideas? I loved this tablet so I would really like to use it again.

You can try to do a factory reset.
Go into recovery mode by pressing the volme up and power button at the same time until you see a black screen where you can choose recovery mode.
Choose recovery then you see a green android doll. Hit the power buttun and you are in recovery mode. There you can select wipe data/factory reset.

Unfortunately when I go into recovery,it reboots stil in loop
EDIT:I tryed to instal stock firmware but same reason

Tested the 1.1 rom today and it is working ok.
Almost the same as the 1.0 rom.

Are you sure there is no more than 8gb NAND? That isn't very much these days on a new tablet. Most have at least 16gb.

I'm not sure what the default is, but if there is only 8gb total, I would only use 4gb.

The total 8gb NAND is divided into partitions. The system takes up roughly 1gb. With 4gb app space you should have 3gb internal SD space remaining.

one more thing, before i proceed with the updating.

what is this 2,4,8,12 GB user space?
I know Chuwi comes with 8GB, and i also add 32GB micro SD card.

which one you recommend i choose?

To fix the scatter file error, open the Checksum.ini file

Make this change:

CHECKSUM_SWITCH=0

Since I modify files, the sizes are different. This turns off the checksum system to allow the flash tool to proceed with the modified files.

I forgot to do that...sorry.

I've moved this thread to the Current ROM's forum in the MTK Tablets section.

Have you tried it by connecting your tablet to your PC and running the app? Sometimes, it will succeed that way.

Not working here to create CWM:
I get two error messages:
No find KernelGZ
No Split Boot Image

I don't know what that means.

I also can't flash te new 1.1 rom
I get an error mssage when trying to load the scatter file.
Tested the satter file from the original 07-26 and that's ok
So there is a problem wih your rom?

[dzenk]

Thanks, I'll try that!

Since you are rooted, you can make your own CWM with MTKDroidTool:

I've searched a long time to find a tool to root my VX8. I did it today just before I found this thread .
Here the link to the tool. I used the pc version; the apk didn't work. It's in chinese so I just did some clicks (green button...) + one reboot and it was done. Don't ask me how??!!

I'll test the existing system at first but then I'll try your version 1.1.

Does it also have just some major languages or is it a real multi language rom?

Is it possible to integrate a cwm or similar recovery?
