didn't work

link only NAND http://yadi.sk/d/R9By8N49C3kLE/
if for NAND will work, then I will compile for recovery

my device is mk908 (not v3)
I flashed your xubuntu-13.04-core-vmk
Selected rk3188_mk908_linux_720_defconfig-kernel.img
checked "system" section in RK Tool which was NOT ckecKed (the other four were all checked)
Erased nand (went o.k)
Flashed (went o.k) - took a while of course as it was 1.3 Gb data to write
Waited for 10-15 minutes - blue light was on but no screen output
Then unplugged the device and rebooted (waited for another 10 minutes)
No screen output and the blue lamp was off

What did I do wrong? I am willing to retry couple of more times. It would however so much more convenient to test with recovery linux kernel image if you would compile one plz.

Now I reflashed to android. Then I loop mounted your system img which I could easily convert to RFS and transfer to sd card to test recovery kernels if you are willing to produce them (I always prefere 720p because of my poor vision.

Many thanks again!

No Root filesystem

Hi

I used the PicUntu-4.5-nand-BasicGui installer on a stick MK809III.

The stick boots but into initramfs shell and stops.

Using dmesg i found the root file system (system.img) can not be mounted.
Using linux i tried to mount the system.img with:
mount -o loop system.img /mnt
failed. Error message: EXT4-fs bad geometry

Any help?

sudo mount -t ext4 -o ro /system.img /mnt or redownload

Found out myself: Due to missing space on disk the system.img was not unpacked completely
Picuntu works great, Thanks a lot.

Re: PicUntu-4.5-nand-BasicGUI installer - One file, few click install.

Is this also possible on a rk3066 device, like the iMito MX1? Or is this only for rk3188?

Shutting mk802iv down and Package Manager

Hi everybody, good work on making picuntu work on mk802IV, have tried 2.2 on mk802iiis and this is much better.

I have some doubts about it...
1. Which is the proper way to shut picuntu down? I have tried thru the shutdown command and the logout icon and it doesn't shutdown, it goes to a black screen but it doens't seem to complete the shutdown.
2. Which is thr proper way to force a shutdown, i.e. when it hangs? When I had proplems to shut it down I have unplugged it but that seems to make some mess at the file system since it doesn't boot up again as always, it starts to show errors and, if I'm lucky, after several tries it boots (I had to flash it again in one ocation).
3. Does Synaptic Package Manager work? Since I have tried to install VINO (to alllow remote desktop) and it hung when it was applying the scripts and it never ended.

Thanks in advance!
Alejandro.

Thanks.

or
Rootfs copy to another folder, exclude
(/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found)
Midnight Commander (sudo apt-get install mc), sudo mc

After much looking around I finally tracked down the following

https://github.com/crewrktablets/rkflashtools

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like this will do what I need.

I also had some success using dd from
