CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

I have a mk808b (RK3066) with the newest Finless 1.7 installed. I have downloaded the CWM MK808 RK903 file and have renamed it to update.zip. I put it to the external SD card and when updating I received a error on the screen. Error not a valid update package!

Please help

Rk3066 is the processor and main chipset, the difference between mk808b is the wifi chipset rk903 or mediatek chipsets. No problems installing it in this way. I suggest you download it again, if it fails again, try to install it by rk tools included in finless Rom, install only recovery.,

Ok, then you must use rk flash tool, the tool who is in every Rom made by finless, so download one of his roms.
Disconect everything from your pc stick, and with the reset button pressed connect the usb to the stick in the usb OTG, wait untill the pc sounds and show new driver found. Install the driver, is in the Rom by finless /driver folder. When the driver is properly installed, you run the flash tool, and install only the recovery.img
I hope you can backup it.

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

My problem is that my mk819 won't boot. It hungs on the first startup picture with 2 pinquins. then it reboots again and back to pinguins... and loop like that. And I assume that you need to have a working system for doing it that way.
I don't have a fw for mk819, but it is stated that it is same as 809II so I will try to flash it with that fw, but I wanted to take backup first....

The more easy way to install it is how I explain in the first post: rename the file you download to update.zip, copy it to a microSD, and when the system ask you if you want to install the update, say yes. The system will reboot and that is all. You have cwm recovery installed. Now you can erase update.zip and reboot to recovery.

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

What kernel are you guys running? Stock Finless?

I am using the stock Rom patched to 1080p in mk808b (rk903).

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

Later,I change a USB wire, anything is OK,I think my original USB wire maybe break signal line,but the power line work well.So lead to the results.

Thanks,Now the new kernel is flashed and runs stably.

good

YES,I can enter flash mode,thanks!

Pls, if you can, do that I say, unplugg everything, everything is all wires attached to your stick. HDMI wire, power usb wire, all
Now in the pc, open rkflashtool.
Plug a USB wire to the pc.
Now with a clip push the reset botton in the stick(it's in a hole at the opposite corner that the blue led) and maintain it pushed.
While reset button is pushed plug the USB wire to the OTG port.
The pc must sound. New hardware detected. Then you can release the reset button.
In rkflashtool you must see "rkdevice found in loader mode".
Flash the new kernel.
Hope this helps.

PD: The USB port at pc must be usb 2.0 and direct in the pc mainboard.

Nop, if you flash a new Rom you flash a new recovery, only need to install it again.

Remember, I don't make this port, fun_ is the man, he develop it, so we need to thanks him.
