Hi everyone,
I'm currently working with a Devboard NVidia Tegra 250 Harmony DevKit since about a year.
I've past my year to study Tegra's architecture and comportment on high level abstraction layers, using my GNU/Linux (Debian distrib) on it.
Now I'm working to understand this board a little more deeper, and now a day, I'm facing some problem with it.
Indeed, I'm currently trying to understand what it is this Binary Configuration Table binary.
About my research, it seems to be a Firmware like which is in charge of DDR Memory controller and Bootloader call.
So, my first question is: Am I on the right way with this definition?
Secondly, why did NVidia do this crappy thing??? I mean, there is no any other company working with ARM which choose to use this thing.
I also have a TI Omap based board, and there is no such thing on it.
Well, if anyone has informations/documentations/Links, I'll be happy to read them.
I've searched about this on Google, and for now, the only interesting things that I've found are coming from TrimSlice Wiki and xda-developers forums.
BCT is more commonly referred to as Boot Configuration Table.
It contains a large number of configuration options, among them location, size and load address of the boot loader.
Have a look at the bct_dump tool in the cbootimage repository.
Many thanks for this informations.
So, basically, I've download the L4T package, and just try to replace the default fastboot.bin with my cross-compiled u-boot for Tegra250.
Unfortunatly, it's not working at all :-(
My problem is the following one:
Code:

waiting for bootloader to initialize
and then, I can wait for a looooonggg time for nothing, it seems that the uboot.bin doesn't do anything while the default fastboot.bin (900kb) correctly execute the next step on the script.
Is there any trick to do to be able to have a debug output?

If that is the case, OMAP4 does have something similar, the Configuration Header. http://nishanthmenon.blogspot.com/2009/05/configuration-header-no-more-x-loader.html

-MANY MANY MANY thanks for this URL, I was looking for this software for a long time.
I've been able to read and generate new BCT with it now
But, I'm still unable to boot on U-Boot :-(

Yep, exactly, but basically, NVidia is less complicate in the load process but the way they handle the ROM boot and bootloader call is really crappy
I'm still investigating on my board, I really want to replace the fastboot with U-boot and push my whole system on NAND.

I've made some progress, but the way NV do not share at all this kind of informations is a little bit sad :-(
I go forward step by step, I currently trying to build my own BCT based on the one provided by NVidia on it's L4T and CBootImage, but it seems to have some tricky things to know with the default BCT.
Mine is not compiling, CBootImage do not want to eat it
I'll gonna do some test tonight.
I let you inform of any evolve.

thats good news, as far as with my understanding the tegra 3 follows the same chip architect and we would be able to debug with the same resources and might be able to induce a different BCT over the partial layer, thus giving access to an unsecured bootloader like UBOOT ?

Yes, indeed, I should now be able to do that, BUT, keep in mind that you have to sign your bootloader with csign before loading it on the Tegra DevKit.
This sounds completly crazy for me because the purpose of this board, as it's named, should be to DEVEL on it and then, you need to sign your bootloader?? C'mon NVidia, this is completly nuts, I don't really know if I'll continu to support and use their DevKit, I don't have time to waste with those kind of proprietary things.
If you're also working on that kind of board, we probably should help each other
Hi everyone,
I've been granted by NVidia to access their TRM so now I should be able to perform everything I want on the board.
So, I'll retry to install the u-boot during the week-end and see what's going on when I try to load it into the board.
So far, I've not been able to put anyone of my baremetal programs into the board and u-boot neither.

Lenovo has released ICS for the K1. Everyone was excited until they all realized it had no gapps and no root! Lenovo has now removed the link to the file, but I uploaded it and there is a link below. If anyone can use this to do some thing AWESOME ... or just get it rooted with google apps, you will be greatly appreciated. You guys rock, and if anyone can pull this off, you guys can.
Good Luck!!

2. Copy the file to an sd card, and rename it to update.zip
3. Power off the K1 and insert the SD card.
4. Boot up into recovery mode (press and release power, then hold volume up, I think)
5. The tablet will boot into recovery mode - it should detect the update.zip and whilst it is installing, show a progress bar.
6. When the installation finishes, a green tick will be shown and the device will power off.

I did these steps. The K1 turns on with both LEDs on the home button lit. But then it just hangs there -- no sign of activity --- no progress bar.
BTW, to put the K1 into recovery mode you hold down the Vol Dn, Vol Up buttons and the power button until the 2 LEDs on the Home button illluminate. Note, I tried this with two different gapps-ics files (I found another one dated 20120429) here (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip)
Ideas?
The file you are linking to is OUTDATED... there is a newer release of ICS GAPPS

I dont Know who posted those instructions but it will never work ever. First you don't have clock work recovery on the new ics kernel it's not there. you can boot to APX and maybe work from there but don't waste your time following those instructions there garbage.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm a fan of Android!
Google OS (Android)+ Installing Google OS Major Tools (Android Market/Gmail) == FAIL!
You shouldn't need root or be a developer to install those apps!
It should be as simple as downloading and installing for the Google Play/Market. It's a simple thing like this that makes Android fail. If you're going to make it tough to do things, people will walk away. Hence, the reason it's taking hard-core developers forever to make OTA/Non-OTA releases of ICS to their devices (Not just Lenovo)...
-Cybie
I have an application that MIGHT work if I updated the gapps in it... It requires root.
Would anybody be interested in beta testing this app? My bosses boss has one of these devices, and before I muck around on his device, I want to make sure the solution works
I can probably have the app ready by tomorrow evening, if it all works out properly, again; I would require root and busybox to be installed in order for my app to work, but no recovery required. *crosses fingers*
I think that Lenovo was totally wrong in leaving all their users this way regarding the upgrade to ICS. The owe us a full upgrade with all gapps and third party.
Hi there, so I seem to have similar issues to what some have posted. I used these instructions:
//forums.lenovo.com/lnv/attachments/lnv/[email protected]/81/1/K1%20-%20Vanilla%20ICS%20Image%20Installation%20Guide.pdf
Now it just hangs when i enter recovery mode, just black screen and the two white lights on by home button.
Can anyone get me in the right direction to get this K! back to latest honeycomb? I would love ICS but the support on the web is limited and my experience so far has been bad. I am quite technical too, so this is aggravating...lol or if someone has a new Lenovo K1 ICS file with good directions, maybe i will try again. I guess before i get to that i need to get back to be able to use the thing. Its a brick right now. Win 7 does not show APX device in manager after you update the driver originally. Anyone know how i can at least get the PC to show that APX device like it originally did when i first plugged it on? Hopefully someone can help me here. I really appreciate any assistance. thank you

Have you tried the AOSP build from khanning88 available here. I've been using it since its release and now updated to his R2 and it works great. You can try to re-install the APX driver. I used the one that came in the image I just pointed you to.

Wow, thank you so much. I am up and running. I am so thankful. If only i could figure out these stupid image verification things. Takes me like 12 tries before i can find one that i can even read and i am pretty sure I am human...lol
I'm having an odd problem with my A500, and while I've seen people with some of the symptoms I'm having, I haven't yet found anyone with all of them. I would appreciate any advice you all may have.
I purchased my A500 on the day it came out, so it's long out of warranty. Everything has been fine with it until two nights ago.
I woke up in the morning to a crashed app alert. I don't get crashed apps often, but it does happen, so I hit ok. A few seconds later I was inundated with crashed app alerts, usually starting with Watchdog (the app killer I use), followed by calendar storage, and then a number of others. At that point, any app I opened would crash. Figuring a good reset would fix it, I turned it off...and it wouldn't turn back on.
I did finally get it to start by holding the volume up and power button.
But that didn't fix the problem. I've discovered that it is somewhat stable if I keep wifi off, but if wifi is on, within minutes everything starts to crash again.
I tried uninstalling some of the apps that crash, but when I restart, the apps are back. It doesn't matter what I uninstall, when I restart, it's back. I tried to factory reset but holding volume up, holding the power button, and continuing to hold volume up while switching the screen lock. The screen gives the "erasing user data" message, but when it loads up, everything is just as I left it. I tried using the android os option to factory reset, but when I hit "erase everything", nothing happens. The button depresses, but nothing happens.
So obviously, I'm a bit perplexed.
I've never rooted it, and I ran an anti-virus scan a few hours before this all happened and it came up clean.
Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice?

Well, first guess, you have corrupted data somewhere in one of the partitions (/System or /Data). I'm guessing /System as the issue continues after a factory reset, which is "supposed" to wipe the /Data partition.
I'll assume you are stock and un-rooted? Running stock ICS?
The first thing I would do, is while the tab is still running, get your UID number.
First goto Settings/Developer Options, and turn on USB Debugging.
Then go to the Development forum, and check the sticky about how to get your UID number. Should be a simple app you run from your PC while tab is connected. Write it down and save it somewhere (just in case)

Yes, I'm running stock, unrooted Android version 4.03.
I've installed blackthund3r's A500 Manager, and it detects my tablet, but it when I try to get my CUPID I get the error "system/bin/sh: su: not found".
I've downloaded "Afterota lite", but hesitate to use it because it says "USE WITH OTA ANDROID SYSTEMS ONLY" and I have no idea if that applies to me or not.
I'm assuming I'm ok to use it, but I don't want to take any chances.

Since the 17th I have exactly all the same problems that you describe!!! I also have the same configuration. Did you may have also the following:
Current Image Version:
Acer_AV041_A500_1.062.00.EMEA_DE?
I did not find a solution so far. But I was able to recover the CUPID - not with the A500 Manager (A500Manager1.1.1) - that did not work. But by retrieving the acer_cpu_id from a file. I did it with adb tools and found it here:
/sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpu_id
I have been able to get into APX mode (with blackthund3r_A500_APX_Flash_Tool_v0.4.1), but could not flash a new image. I could not get root (with ICS Root 7.2.0), by any method that I tried.
By every operation that I do - it always starts with the same app's and version that I had before. It seems like an "read only" system.
Hope you could solve that problem in the mean time.

I'm sorry to hear that you have the same problem, though I'm kind of glad I'm not alone here.
My Image Version is: Acer_AV041_AA500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1
"Read only" is a great description of this, in fact, I'm received errors indicating that it's a read only file when trying to resume my previous place in a video that I have saved on my SD card.
So you have not been able to get it to factory reset using external tools either?

Correct. I could not do:
- a factory reset
- root the tablet
- use recover to make a downgrade
I try to write a new image with blackthund3r_A500_APX_Flash_Tool_v0.4.1. But it is very slow.
Hope we get some good idea's what else we could try.

How slow is "very slow"? If it works, I'd be willing for it to take a long time...unless "very slow" means a few percent per day.

Well, I do not know. I had to start again, because I forgot to disable energy saver. Hence during the process there was a stop and I was forced to start again. So my estimation would be several hours (4-8h?).But I’m not sure if it will work.
If you try it again, please let me know how it goes. I probably won't be able to work on mine again until this weekend. I'm also going to continue to research other solutions, though it seems not many people have had this problem, and not many people have ideas for solutions...

Uhhh, that sounds not very good. At the moment I try EUU tool, but it seems also not working. So, did you give up on the tablet?
After spending days and nights with a fried EFS (IMEI null / null), which in no way can be restored - no receipt, no box, no more sticker under battery. I've read a lot of people got their motherboards replaced by service centers.
Where can I get these?
Service center is a no-go in my case, they said they can't help.
Edit: "GH82-07651A" is the official product number for one of the N9005 board types, maybe this one is for the 16GB version tho not sure

I take it as a new motherboard means you get a new IMEI?
If so, where can I get these?

EDIT: Okay.. searching for its spare part number is easier.. the thing is called "GH82-07651A"
EDIT2: GH82-07651A is the 16GB model I think

Yeah a new motherboard will contain a new IMEI. - How did you fry your EFS? - you know it can actually be saved with some ADB trickery (quite a few have done so)

I've been trying day and night to restore it by flashing hundreds of stock roms - of no avail.
Well the IMEI most likely got formatted away by odin by the previous seller - though if I could restore it I could file a proper lawsuit against the vendor, cause it's obviously stolen (no sticker etc).
Which "ADB trickery" method did you refer to? Cause every method I've found so far requires the IMEI to be reentered from a sticker / receipt or whatever

Ahh, I (assumed) thought you had the original IMEI somewhere, in regards to the ADB I mentioned, there is a thread by Marek on how to restore IMEI and Serial number - The EFS partition btw doesn't actually ever vanish. The Note 3 has the ability to rebuild the EFS by itself using the correct scripts and commands. So all hope isn't lost tbh :good:
EDIT: Have you tried the Fire script?

Actually I've given it another shot with the EFS Pro tool & Qualcomm NV Tools though somehow I can't get the QC tools to connect properly causing the tool to crash... I'd say it's because there is no IMEI (or null/null, where it should be), if I knew better.
fire's script didn't restore the missing IMEI ever tho ..guess I'm really fubar'd

apparently partition is just perfectly fine up to the contents of the /efs/imei (nv files missing). I've seen things like people recreating the imei from their meid?
But whenever I read oft it, it proven not to work in the later posts of the threads lol -_- (why I tried QC again)
EDIT 2: "I'd say it's because there is no IMEI (or null/null, where it should be), if I knew better."
It might have something to do with EFS Professional switching the USB settings from "MTP + ADB" to "DIAG + Modem + ADB" when starting up NV Tools. (Since I get "Mobile Network not available" after dialing *#7284#) ..it's probably connected to the "Baseband unknown" thing.. idk
Google SuperIMEI, I think it's your only hope here.
The first
Efs partition not contain imei number on qualcomm device!
It is stored on mmcblk0p 12 and mmcblk0p 13 if you try use the script from the beginning of my threat if it not work... Just find someone with proper box to repair it.

Still can't post in your thread lol
I did run through the process as described in Soft bricked [ SOLVED ] again. With the sole difference that I had to use a different CWM (6.0.4.7) from
[RECOVERY]CWM Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 for N900 N9005 N900T N900S because it wouldn't work with "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025)" - I've read it's a KK bootloader issue.
So I ran all the 23
Code:
dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0xxx of=/dev/block/mmcblk0xxx
as
Code:
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0xxx of=/dev/block/mmcblk0xxx
and can't start the phone anymore at all. It bootloops right after the "Samsung GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005" write. (doesn't go to the pulsating logo).
I doubt it's cause the CWM I've used has another mount point for the ext SD ;;
Sure an octopus or something might help, but it will be hard to find someone in Switzerland lol.
EDIT: After that, I'm flashing the latest stock KK it boots again, but the IMEI remains null/null, as well as Baseband unknown
From my post just push mmcblk0p11 but you need root and adb on PC and busy box on android.
ㅠㅡㅠ

Kay, on a clean stock ROM I put;
- CWM with recovery su,
- SuperSU-v1.99r3 app
- booted and put busybox
- set super su to perm root / default access [ grant ]
Then I adb to the device and found it suddenly refusing root access.
So I upped to file to sd card, use terminal emu and dd mmcblk0p11...
that's right so far?
rebooted and still

Link: http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=7470
Any chance this version would fix video playback issues I was having across multiple apps?
For people who like to auto generate a grub entry to run from same HD as linux, you can try my script: 50_PhoenixOS
Disclaimer: I have not tried this latest Phoenix OS v2.5.0 yet, but im going to download it now. (I just saw this thread)
*edit*
Ok downloaded and tried to install this version (PhoenixOSInstaller_v2.5.0.267_x86_x64.iso) in a Debian9's VM (Virtual Machine Manager), and it failed to install !
I can't login on their forum due to an incompatibility with Firefox Nightly, so can't inform them about it.
I will extract the needed files for the script like i did for previous version and see if it works at all...

Try APKPure to update and/or install stuff, i had no problems...

Note that an install from the iso fails on Debian 9 using "Virtual Machine Manager", the previous version didn't have problem installing...

Mouse Problem
I am using Phoenix OS on VMware. Version 2.2.1.247 works fine on VM. But I am having problem in 2.5.0. I am unable to use mouse in phoenix os. Can any one help me why this is happening.
@pietras83
Download gms latest for x86_64 from apkmirror .now reboot pos with DEBUG=1 kernel flag and replace it with orig one inside /system/priv-app/gms**/*.apk .be sure to move downloaded apk to move into root partition in which you have installed pos.
Or
Simply if rooted (guide by meanhacker) ,using es file explorer, replace it. Or
Just use alt+f1 ,mv and overwrite gms apk files as expected .

Guys, I want to install either phoenix or remix os (dual boot along with windows 10), but I cannot resize my partition to 16384 MB even though I've got about 25 GB free space on that disk. Is it the windows files that take up that much space or..? Anyway - does the partition have to be exactly 16384 MB or can it be less, for example 8 gigs?
Does this version work on NVIDIA GTX 970?

No need ,you can even install phoenix on a 4gb storage drive with 3 or 2gb data img

Alright, so I can create a new partition out of my C: Drive and I can resize it to 4096 MB or 8192 MB without any problems? Are you sure it is going to work for dual boot? Every tutorial on youtube always says to put 16384 MB, so I don't know now.
@pannicz Think Technically ,It will surely work but that 2gb Data img will not be enough if you are going to install a lot apps or big games .
Do it like this .
First of all create a dedicated partition for This OS.Now format it into ext2 or fat32 (if you willing to use max 4gb data parttition).now copy iso files in this .And download grub2win and open it ,install grub bootloader through it and add android-x86 entry but change the lines
Like
Code:
/Android/kernel to /kernel
By using custom boot lines or
Simply copy iso files from root to /Android/* in the partition .
Now boot with grub2 win by choosing it in boot menu by pressing F12 or whatever .
Use ext2 file explorer to create /data/ folder like /Android/data/ in the new ext2 partition.
Tip:-
No need to create seperate partition if you want data.img using rmxtools .u can just use installer tool.
Use ext2 formatted partition if you are willing to use data folder since it will preserve file perms.
this build breaks my sound and ethernet is not working anymore,.

The one thing I hate more than anything; one could easily say the Grand Master of them all; is when people perpetuate the "truth" by saying [something along the lines of] "You can't do it."; that just makes my blood boil with rage, because while they may, or may not know the "answer", they already have the "solution" well within their grasp. Well, I know the solution, not answer, the solution; just find the (or, even code, if necessary) file, or set of files that allows the older kernel to communicate with you mouse, and replace/insert the corresponding code/file/files in the new kernel, with that of the old kernel. Simple lodgic; it's not that complicated.
So, I was permabanned from the Phoenix OS forums for asking the same question I asked at the beginning of this thread regarding video playback issues I was having, marked apparently as "spam"? Care to explain that?
Hi mates, sry to interrupt other discussions anyway do you think there's any chance to get some newer version of android on PCs equipped with cpu that don't support SSE4? I have a 64bit machine but for now I have to run the 32bit version (older kernel and android) and it would be nicer to run the newer versions.
Just wanted to put this question in the thread, I'm sorry but for now I can't help with any video playback issue
