    Notpod's final ROM dump! You guys are ready I think!

    OK guys it is for sure here!

    This is Notpod's DUMP of what I understand is all that is needed to cook a ROM using the A10 tools.

    UPDATED WITH LATEST DUMP 4/17

    http://video.freaktab.com/?subpath=f...m_pmid701c.zip

    This is:
    Boot.img - confirmed to be good it mounts in linux as ext4
    System.img - confirmed to be good it mounts in linux as ext4
    Root.img - Confirmed good as it mounts in linux as FAT32
    Recover.img - I DO NOT KNOW if it is good. I do not believe this is a mountable IMG. I cant mount it with anything. BUT that does not mean it is not good. Android recovery is usually NOT a file system but a booter program. So based on notpod's sucess 100% with dumping the other IMG's, I am guessing it is probably good!

    If you guys want to mount these read my post on how to mount system and boot in linux in Notpod's other post I made here:

    http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...needed-is-here

    Root.img is FAT32 so this is how you mount it in linux

    mkdir root
    sudo mount -t vfat -o loop root.img root


    I now think you guys can build a STOCK ROM!!!! So someone make one and try it. If it works, time for me to get in the kitchen for you guys! I can edit anything other than recovery which really is not required for me to make a kick arse ROM!

    working on it!

    Bob thanks for the peer review and the support! It's keeping me going even tho I am in upto my breathing holes in new stuff.

    With a little luck (and that tutorial) I hope to have a ROM cooked up soon!

    Not only that I will have a full working kitchen with gingerbread and ICS sources (no ICS kernel yet tho, not released that I know of) running on Ubuntu 10.04

    The info from all the posters here have added upto where we are now, I have just been putting the bits together!

    Thanks guys!

      Pod-of-the-not

      Dude, without you dumping this there would be no ROM!

      YOU DA MAN!

      Hell if you want to make the ROM, I will just help you if needed and you can be the author!

            dude, thanks...I had lost that page...

            That XDA page is where I read about Ubuntu 10.04 and then the page "got away from me". Thanks for helping me find it again.

            Bigs storms in the area today not sure how much I will get done. First on the todo list is to rebuilt our stock ROM with the DUMPS. If that works: IE a reflash via livesuite is good then the doors will be open!

            Remember I did not even stay in a Holiday Inn last night so... (is that even the right hotel?)

            Considering going out and getting a fresh one (if there are any more in the area) as I have got a lot of stuff working on the current one.

            ut O! I was typing this while read/downloading from the XDA page and:

            WARNING!!!

            WARNING!!!

            The Kitchen ZIPS on the XDA site have a TROJAN!!!

            WARNING!!!

            DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER!!!

              No progress today 4/4

              I just got in the door, I did not have a chance to do anything today.

              Someone asked about snowbreeze and 2.4.7 vs. 2.4.3 OS builtds. It is pretty much just bundling things up into the image file. I think as long as all the SYS_CONFIG, .fex and whats-nots are correct it should work.

              I put some of the games from the recent Humble Bundle for Android 2 on it and it plays all of them as well as the kindle fire. So the last bit of the evening is going to be spent playing EDGE, Canabalt (so simple so fun) and Cogs. OK, maybe a another level or two of SQUIDS.

                Agreed Notpod, ICS vs Gingerbread, etc, the ROM knows nothing about these. Sure a CWM recovery might need to know, so it knows what it can do, but packaging a ROM should not matter. They are totally transparent to knowing what the OS is.

                I seriously cannot wait until a stock ROM is made and known to work. I have already done some work for you guys

                So when you know how to make a ROM out of the parts and flash it, the "fun" work begins!

                I wish I could help on the ROM building but all the reading I have done etc is really of no use since I would be flying in the dark!

                  as mentioned in another thread...

                  I think I am down to just pulling some facts from the root.img for the config files for snowbreeze and giving it a whirl. Hopefully a output.img will pop out. I just wish I had something to compare it with. Or I could be stuck with a brick until the stock ROM or a update is posted by southerntelcom (or what ever company behind the polaroid name is).

                    I am a willing guinea pig

                    If you get the rom together I have 2 of these bad boys and one of them has test platform written all over it. It is still relatively stock other than the google play stuff so unlike the other one with the clockwork recovery on it this one still has the base recovery so we can see a bit better what happens.

                      I ran accross this page where they were putting together some A10 tools. He said this in post 5:
                      It's a false positive. I've been using UnImg.exe (from SoChip_Modding_Tools) for a while and since the latest MSE malware definitions it gives this message.

                      Now on that one, it is up to you to trust him or not (if it is the same file even causing the trojan report)
                      http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/28942-50-to-the-first-person-to-figure-this-out/


                      If my reading is right it could be that it has the file name of a known trojan, but really isnt one. Again, just giving a plausable explanation, up to you if it seems good.

                        To get around the "possible" torjan issue, setup a VM using either Windows XP Mode (which will run Win7 32) or use VirtualBox which is free. You can install windows into it and if it is a trojan all it will hurt is the VM which you can toss after!

                          my work around was...

                          to move the .zip to my mac where it was not detected as a threat so...

                          sabercatpuck: I think tonight will be the night. I will PM you with a link to the rom.img if I fully believe that it will work. Updates otherwise, fingers crossed.

                            Will be ready

                            I shall be waiting.

                            I was looking through the snowbreeze directory and found a copy of the unimg.exe file BTW. Got it chewing on one of the Onda firmwares I had found. I will run my virus checker to see if it shows up for curiosity. Didn't seem to mind when I extracted and just started running it though.
