UG007 II (UG007 2)

[mite_jan]

i am expecting this device so i was just wondering if anyone has it ?
i believe nothing should be different except there is a reset button and Extra mini power port

so do you think UG007 firmware will be compatible with it ?
btw has anyone tried this firmware V20130118a which is for the UG007

i guess people dont know what to think of it..
who the f is kimdecent? the UG007 come from UGOOS
why does he have such a brand new firmware?

did you try it?

all i know is this:
my UG007 just arrived 1h ago
it got shipped at 1/18/2013

my build is:
RK30_ANDROID4.1.1-SDK-v1.00.1015
rk30sdk-end.4.1.1 JRO03H eng.ant.20121217.134352 test-keys

and its faaast! i mean real faaast...
if i have to compare it to my Allwinner A13 tablet with 800x480 and android 4.0.4 i must say.. this baby is a rocket.. currently still working in 720p but looking great.. i can enable 1080p in settings, is it normal?

currently i see no reason to custom flash... its working very well..
im not sure if im rooted.. lets see...

I tried to flash my UG007 using the microsd method, but it was recognized as an "invalid update".
I'm currently running the Finless rom 1.5 for the iMito MX1/2, maybe that's why the update wasn't recognized.
I'll flash the stock UG007 firmware (.img) later to test the update.zip again.
Someone knows if there's a .img version of the new update.zip?

i have not tried this firmware since i don't have the UG007 (i am expecting it)
looks like i am going to be the first one who will receive UG007 2 (maybe not but will see)
btw i think kimdecent should be a reseller who has firmwares on his sites (like most of the people do who sell)

btw i am not receiving my ug007 from him . i just found that firmware while searching for the newest

so far i know only for 20121201 firmware(official) and this one 20130118a (no idea if it is official)
yours is newer than the first one (maybe take a dump from it ?)

@ clio have you extracted the zip file ?

I bought my UG007 from dx.com and it came with the same firmware as most people here.
The only thing that seems strange to me is that when I flashed with the firmware UG007_20121201, the bluetooth and wifi were disabled, and looking at the dmesg they weren't even detected.
So every time I tried to turn on the wifi or bt the slider automatically changed to off. When I reverted to the Finless rom 1.5 everything worked again.
(I flash my ug007 using the "short pin" method. I just soldered a reset button from an old pc cabinet to the pins, so when I just want to try a new firmware I just press that button to enter "flash mode")

[mite_jan]

there are too many versions appearing on the market
and probably yours have different wifi/bluetooth chip so that's why they are disabled

yeah im currently reading into taking a dump (sounds weird :P)

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3622-Pulling-rk3066-ROMs-with-rkflashtool-on-Linux

i still dont know if i need root, how to put into flashmode and if its safe
also install ubuntu into hyper-v and i guess i need win7 too.. i think i read people have problems on win8

after i get the backup i think about using this tut, root without opening device
try out linux on(over) android and if not working as i hope, get over to linux on rk3066

i still have a lot to learn...

[mite_jan]

forget hyper-v (4gb min ram i think)
try with ubuntu livecd or for virtual machines vmware or virtual box

btw i am not experienced with taking a dump
probably just follow the tutorial
or here is a tutorial with adb

i have 8gb so that wouldnt be a problem...
havent used hyper-v yet.. but its bundled with windows why not give it a try
my win8 is rather fresh and i dont want to install android sdk or any tools i may need.

i would install virtualbox or vmware but only if really needed...
as i got alot images for other devices (i only sync and backup with virtual pc's)
i may need it someday again anyway..

also hyper-v is installed and ready to go.. any other reasons?
ive read its not as advanced as the other two.. or i dont know driver problems or something..
i really dont want anything bad happening while dumping/flashing

[clio]

Personally I use VMware, virtualbox has less USB support (sometimes I connected a USB device to virtualbox and all I got was SNAFU), and I use a debian squeeze VM without X for all my linux needs (I'm a console guy).
I didn't make a dump before install the finless rom, I thought that the stock rom from ugoos would work without a problem... but I was wrong.

i wish i could have made a dump
problem was i really didnt want to open the ug007 yet
you need flashmode to dump the files, meh

i found a really great way to root it and get a good firmware:

you only need to place the update.zip in your sd-card and it will root it, great.

here is where i saw the firmware i posted on the first link

i didn't saw any opening of the device while reading the ADB tutorial for dumping the firmware

but i also saw this

RKdump will not work with RK3066 devices which the MK808 is. So forget that route. Only way to dump it is to use linux and RKflash

yeah tutorial is incomplete
he only said "put device into flashmode"
but to enable flashmode you have to open it, as far as i remember, ill look for the tut again..

btw hyper-v didnt work good at all... really not what i expected..

good looking new devices..

reset(and i bet flash) button is just what i would have needed
a 2nd (3rd) usb slot is a good thing too...
any other info about different hardware inside?

my ug007 works very good..



currently i try to setup linux deploy..
ssh & vnc work great also via network..
but still have some problem with the software i intend to run...
if it wont work ill have to install Bobs Firmware & picuntu.. fun fun

yay got i all working
damn i love my ug007
