T-R42 - wasser firmware - JB Android 4.2.2

[doperst]

parameter

wasser, thank you for your efforts very much.
I have installed 1.2.5 with 720 boot and kernel to my B351 V2.0 (RTL8723) board,
and have a mixed wifi performance experience so far: i saw it sluggish, and now it is fast, so far.
Bluetooth is working, ethernet too.
What was very strange, is parameter file:
i have found out you gave 32MB to recovery (why?) and 1GB to system (why?).
I have modified parameter to have 6GB data partition, made recovery 16MB and system 512MB,
working so far. Userdata leftover is 636MB.
Another question, is why do you keep modifying build.prop disguising our device as Samsung?
I have never had any compatibility problems with stock ROM, but with this "Samsung" disguise,
i can not install Speedtest from Google Play, and a lot of other apps!

Overclock possible?

Hi Wasser,
thanks for this great 1.2.5 Firmware. Everything is working fine, but it can be a little bit faster.
Is it possible to use your OC Kernels for 1.2.5 on my B351 V2.0 Board?

Thanks for your Help and keep up the good work!

Those kernels don't work..only Ethernet for connection and CPU was 1.4ghz. We need some made on the 1080p T-R42 new kernel for all features to work.

The last update appears to be a lot more stable powering on off etc.. The problem Im now having is it will allow me to install XBMC for Android. When I open file manager and try to type path http//: etc I can not print any letters with remote. ll I can do is exit. What is the problem. XBMC or is there a bug in firmware, kernel etc. Im new to these devices.

Thanks for the Info. Would be great to get some OC Kernels for the 1.2.5 Firmware.

T-R42 V1.0 and 1.2.5 Firmware

Dear Wasser,

by reading through the Forum it seems as if V1.2.5 solves a
lot of nitty-bitty things that are annoying to me
with V1.2.4.
(such as IR remote hangs after a while - by the way is it
configurable which apps are started with the colored
function keys?; 1080p/24 seems to be very slow under
V1.2.4 etc.).
Are you working/willing to provide a bug fix ? Can I help you
with testing or other stuff such as log files if there are ?
I really would like to have 1.2.5 Firmware running
on my V1.0 T-R42.
From the error described by several users (incl. me )
it seems to be a booting problem ('init.d support' is mentioned
in your description).

Hope you can solve it.
Best regards
Makku

can't find firmware where wifi and bt works

Hi all,
I've got this device

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6017949857.html

On rear side model is EKB311b
To get it rooted I decided to change firmware. I tried different firmware not only Wasser's but can't find any on which wifi and bt works. I even can't find stock firmware where it works.
Now firmware is 1.2.5, dmesg is included
I would be very grateful for any firmware with wifi/bt support for my device.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried both New & Old kernels?

1.25 update with TR42 B351_v2.0

Hi Overall Im getting much better performance out of my box. I installed the new kernel with 1080p boot.

The bug I have now is with the supplied remote and mini wireless keyboard air mouse. When I try to use the on screen keyboard the OK button or enter key (depending on which remote Im trying to use) that selects the desired letter does not work. I have to enter the letters with the keyboard on the air mouse.

In 1.24 the remote worked fine.

Any suggestions.

1.25 works the best of all on my box except the remote.

Thanks for yor hard work Wasser

A little bit more info. It seems that my problem with the remote occurs with XBMC (latest download 12.3).

Any ideas.

For all Bricked:

perhaps i found something that can help to build the update.zip by myself:
google `build your own update.zip` xda thread
and

http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/rk3188/

download
generic cwm
if you try to install the generic cwm starting the update from recovery menu, the update starts,
but stops checking the device model...rk3066
perhaps its enought to modify the updater script where there is this check and rebuild the zip, signing it with the above tool

this is the updater script:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "rk3066" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "rk30sdk"); ui_print(""); ui_print("**************************************** *******"); ui_print("* CWM-based Recovery for RK3066 *"); ui_print("* http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/ *"); ui_print("**************************************** *******"); ui_print(""); package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/dump_image"); set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/dump_image"); if is_mounted("/mnt/sdcard") then run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "recovery", "/mnt/sdcard/dumped_recovery.img"); package_extract_file("misc-boot-recovery.img", "/tmp/misc.img"); write_raw_image("/tmp/misc.img", "misc"); delete("/tmp/misc.img"); else if is_mounted("/mnt/external_sd") then run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "recovery", "/mnt/external_sd/dumped_recovery.img"); package_extract_file("misc-boot-recovery.img", "/tmp/misc.img"); write_raw_image("/tmp/misc.img", "misc"); delete("/tmp/misc.img"); endif; endif; delete("/tmp/dump_image"); if is_mounted("/system") then unmount("/system"); endif; package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/test"); set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/test"); mount("ext4", "MTD", "system", "/system"); if run_program("/tmp/test", "-e", "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh") == 0 then set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"); ui_print("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh is disabled"); endif; unmount("/system"); delete("/tmp/test"); package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"); if write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery") then ui_print("CWM-based Recovery for RK3066 is installed"); endif; delete("/tmp/recovery.img");

Hello,
finally i found the tool that signs correctly all the zips i create
and also the tool that helps to create the zip and the updater script, putting in it all the stuff i want (kernel.img, boot.img, and so on) to make a complete zip to be flashed via recovery menu from SD card, without the need of connection with pc, rkbatchtool, rkandroidtool and so on
It is an XDA thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437

My device find the zips created with these tools valid, so i can do any update i want
I already tried a simple updater scripts that only prints some informations on the screen with ui_print

Now i have only to learn the sintax of the updater script language, and to build the zip with all parts i need to recover my system...

Thanks

Any ideas.

Try justxbmc or beyondxbmc. Remote should work.. Or use the key mapper addon in xbmc to map your OK button in your current version of xbmc

Any ideas.

Since beta 1 of XBMC Gotham has been released, featuring hardware acceleration for Android and many other enhancements, it would be highly recommended to upgrade from Frodo.

The developers did announce that no future updates will be released for Frodo after 12.3 V7a.

1.2.5 update does not work with T-R42 B351_v1.1

I've installed 1.2.5 on my T-R42 B351_v1.1
After installation, the TV Box fails to boot. It shows just few frames of the start-up animation and hangs forever.
I had to downgrade to 1.2.4 firmware in order to make my TV Box to work again.
