Stock 1.02 Image files

[bloggs]

There still seems to be some confusion over the difference between 1.02 and 1.02s. As I've mentioned in another thread, the 1.02s uses an 8k page size for its rom images while the 1.02 uses 4k (I'm guessing that the S is for Samsung as that appears to be the maker of the 8k paged NAND memory chip used in the 1.02s machines whereas at least one of the 1.02 machines uses 4k paged Hynix chips.) I don't see any other difference between them.

If you try to load a 4k paged image on an 8k paged NAND, or vice versa, it won't work. If the only difference is the page size (and I don't know for sure yet), it should be relatively easy to convert between them on a Linux machine using the mkbootimg tool.

It's a bit of a pain, but it looks like we need to have 2 different images for any mods we release. If someone wants to try a "converted" image, let me know what image they want converted and I'll be happy to do it as a one off and I'll write a note on how to "do-it-yourself".

To sum up: -
if you have 1.02s - use only 8k paged boot or recovery images
if you have 1.02 (or anything else without the S on the end) - use only 4k paged boot or recovery images

Thanks, that helped clear things up Eddie.

Though I'm still stuck with no recovery options. I have a 1.02, currently the installed recover partition will freeze when holding the correct buttons down.

On another note i installed the 'kilo'(i think) graphics mod file to fix angry bird glitch, without a problem. I just don't want to be doing stuff like that without a recovery option.

I'm going to have a look around to see if i can find any 4k page boot recovery images that i can try to load on to my tab.

The images in the third post on this thread should be okay for your machine (although I haven't tried them as mine's a 1.02s)

mtd6_recovery.zip should be the one you're after, and if you follow evilbobbins' instructions in that post it should work.

Just ordered a B grade Scroll 8" so I can get the base Image files to repair my existing 8".

I aim to get a base image like these before I do anything other than root it,
Any suggestions where I can host these files to benefit others who need them?

"4shared" is free you willhave to register altough that is the case with all of them "megaupload" there's loads dont know what is best

Got my new 8" Scroll today, and lifted images before anything else other than Z4root
Was able to use these to recover my "bricked 8"

All the usual use at your own risk warnings go with these, but hope they help

The part number shown on the device is 51951 and the firmware version as 1.02

mtd0.zip Boot
mtd1.zip Kpanic
mtd2.zip System
mtd3.zip Splash
mtd4.zip Cache
mtd5.zip Userdata
mtd6.zip Recovery
mtd7.zip Misc
mtd8.zip TCC

Hey Archielittle did you actually manage to boot into the recovery?

[Gazabob]

Hi folks. I want to go back to the original image that would have been on my 8" FW1.02. I have a backup of my recovery partition. Would the process be to flash that and then flash the contents of each of the zip files in ArchieLittle's post (with the exception of mtd6 as that's what my recovery image contains) using ADB? Does the order in which I flash them make any difference? Oh, and I assume I modify the flash_image command to reflect the mtd I'm actually restoring? By this I mean to type flash_image boot /sdcard/mtd0.img for mtd0 and flash_image kpanic /sdcard/mtd1.img for mtd1, etc? And finally, would the fact that ArchLittle rooted his mean mine would be instantly rooted too if I restored using his images? Thanks for any and all help. Cheers.
