Pipo M6 4.2.2 RileyROM 1.8 [MAX not PRO]

[andylcm]

No, it's not corrupted. It is the generic version made by fun_. I use it since the first custom rom came up and it works like a charm. Cwm can't format the internal SD that's why you have to do it manually.

Thank you all, I try this option again. I download the cwm recovery with 22.xMB from the related thread, and flash Riley 1.8a as usual. Then, I flash the cwm recovery. At the beginning, seems everything go well even I installed over 50 apps. However, the problem occurs after I copied around 10 rmvb files inside the movies folder(10 files total 2.1GB). All apps keep force close after I copied the file through the USB cable. Then I restart the tablet, the tablet stuck on logo again.. I am quite tired to use this rom again as I flashed this rom over 6 times...I will try another roms, thanks anyway!

Help....does not boot after bad use of flash tool

Hi, I was trying to flash my Pipo M6 with new 1.8 ( I had 1.5+1.6 kernel), but for mistake I click on Erase IDB after receiving an error that something went wrong with the Reboot3flash process.
Now when boot the tablet, it freezes on rileyrom pipo max m6 artwork,

As it freezes, i'm not getting PC to recognised the tablet, i cant even install manually the rockusbdriver !!

How can I sort this out ?

Thank you very much

You can get into flash mode manually by following the steps in this thread:

What is the right way to format (erase???) sdcard when flashing rom with cwm.
How and when should it be done?

You need to do it each time you flash the whole ROM.

I keep getting a boot loop on 1.8a.

It books fine once, but one I have installed some apps and stuff next reboot goes to the little rileyrom badge and just hangs there indefinitely. M6 Max 16gb wifi. I am using a 10gb partition.

Have you tried flashing on of the other ROM's or stock firmware? See if that boot's and try to re-flash this one again to troubleshoot. Try a different parameter, too.

I'm pretty sure other's are having success with flashing this ROM on their tablets. Also, make sure you are flashing the correct ROM. This is for the M6 Max...not the M6 Pro (pretty confusing, huh?).

I have reverted to 1.7 and everything is hunky dory.

I tried a couple of different partitions and same thing, must just be my tablet not liking 1.8a!

Oh well 1.7 is no bad.

Well looks like mine had died! Copied some photos over to the internal SD and it crashed in the process (first freeze in about 4 weeks) it now will not boot at all just stays at the riley rom logo..

Must be copying of files over a certain amount that causes it.. out of interest is there space allocated to the filesystem and in this instance the filesystem data runs out of room?

Flashing again soon.. may revert back to 1.7..

It looks like Pipo has a bug that causes a crash when you copy files back and forth from internal to external SD. That was reported a while back. I don't think they have released a firmware update since. The only way to solve this is to erase idb and flash again. The problem is less likely to occur if you have your external SD formatted NTFS.

Thanks Randy... any of your sources indicating if there will be a new firmware at any point soon? been a while since the last one was released?

I'm still keeping my eyes open. None of my sources show any updates. I never know ahead of time...they just appear.

Deep Sleep resolved

I have solved the problem with the deep sleep!

I make 2 changes:
1. rename /system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly.so to libril-rk29-dataonly.so.old (with es file explorer)
2. unpack the whole rom including the ramdisk (from boot.img) and make a comment to the following line in the default.prop:

#rild3.libpath=/system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly.so

Afterwards I packed the whole rom again and flashed it.

Now my Pipo M6 max uses correctly the deep sleep.


I know that this makes the 3G modem useless but I don't use it anyways and the deep sleep is much more important for me.



You can try if the first modification (renaming the libril-rk29-dataonly.so) is enough to solve the deep sleep problem. If not I can upload my modified rom.

I am pretty sure that this will solve the deep sleep problem at the M6 pro too.

Nice discovery!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if I will make this change in the ROM because it defeats 3G. But its here for everyone to try if deep sleep is an issue. I just turn my tablet off when I'm not using it.

If you have a Linux box...or VirtualBox, there are some really good tools on Freaktab for making your own ROMs.

If anyone wants to learn how...just watch for new threads from 900Supersport. He taught me...and is sharing his techniques with others.

You just have to name a ROM with this modifications "Wifi only" and everything is alright.
Wifi works as estimated.

btw: where I can find the threads you mentioned?
