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

[nagper]

Or at least does anyone know whether Tronsmart mk908II is working or not with picuntu 4.5?

Thank you!

Has anyone successfully installed picuntu 4.5 on Tronsmart mk908II?

Thanks

But where I can find the rights bootloaders, kernel and so on. On the picuntu site the links on the previous versions are dead.
And I thought that the modules were standradised for rokchips cpus.

[no_spam_for_me]

my MK808 is a RK3066

I think this is the problem!
You try to use the
1. bootloader for the rk3188 (because of this, you get the timeout (can not work with rk3066))
2. rk3188-kernel at the rk3066 (this will be the next problem if you skip the first problem)

Blinking Video on MK802IV

So I just got my brand new MK802IV and immediately flashed it with 4.5 (it was so easy thanks!).

The problem is my video goes black ever 10 to 15 seconds. I saw only one other person on this thread has the same issue. This is my first time in a linux environment so I don't understand what a lot of the terminal commands do or how to fix this issue.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?

I just receive a MK808 Tronsmart. I tried to install picuntu 4.5.
When I connect the device I get the device ready and clear the NAND.
Then I follow flashing kernel, system and so on.
There I get a run failed and nothing.

Hopefully the device is not briked and I can flash it with the original firmware.

Can somebody tell me wher I make a mistake or what is wrong ?
Does anybody experiments such troubles ?

Thanks

See first post edit of Oct 12th re bootloader issue re MK808IV 16GB model. May also be of help to "mikeme" post 359.

*** EDIT Oct 12th *** Important for MK802IV 16gb owners.

I found out that the Mk802IV 16 gb model used to fail every-time I was trying to flash it. This was observed by other folks too. Thanks to the awesome work by Milkboy, we now have a fix for it.

Very peculiarly the 16GB model fails to flash, if you are using the Rockchip 1.20 bootloader version, you have to use Rockchip 1.24 bootloader version.

You can find the Rockchip 1.24 bootloader here.

So, after you unzip the PicUntu 4.5 Nand zip file, make sure, you replace the included Rockchip bootloader 1.20 with the 1.24 version, and then flash.

[no_spam_for_me]

1. Make sure the Firmware tool is remain standby
2. Connect the Micro USB cable to the computer (but NOT YET to MK802 IV)
3. Make sure MK802 IV is NOT connected with any cable
4. Press and hold the reset button on MK802 IV (the reset button inside the air vent located on the side next to MicroSD card slot)
5. Connect the micro USB to OTG port (not DC) when the reset button is still holding and wait until Windows notify you it is trying to install driver for MK802 IV then you can release the reset button

I might be asking a foolish question:
I would like to flash my RIKO-MK802IV android to Picuntu, but I don't know how to connect the device to my windows laptop in order to flash it.
Do I have to plug the hdmi port in a TV so I am able to see what's going on and connect it via USB to my laptop?
Please, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Connect via USB making sure to press the recovery button (usually a little plastic tab on the bottom). Depending on which OS you're using to flash it should show up as rockchip device found to flash in which case proceed to flash per Alok's instructions in first post & included in readme in pack. If not you may need to install driver for rockchip which you can get from any number of android custom roms -check the appropriate forum for your device.

As for the hdmi question, the device will reboot after flash and begin to load so having it in place and connected to tv means you can just disconnect usb and allow this process to happen. If you're not connected to tv then you'll have to power off the device (pull the power cord) once flash is done. It doesn't matter which you do, I personally like to flash in situ but it depends on your setup.
