TODO

Backup tf700 through nvflash

1. Reboot in APX mode (Power+VolUp)
2. Connect tf700 to usb
3. Load bootloader through whelle:

• wheelie --blob backup/AndroidRoot/blob.bin

4. Get backup:

• nvflash -r --rawdeviceread 0 2944 backup/block/bricksafe_0_2944.img

• nvflash -r --getpartitiontable backup/block/partitiontable.txt

• nvflash -r --read 2 backup/block/02_BCT.img

• nvflash -r --read 3 backup/block/03_PT.img

• nvflash -r --read 4 backup/block/04_EBT.img

• nvflash -r --read 5 backup/block/05_SOS.img

• nvflash -r --read 6 backup/block/06_LNX.img

• nvflash -r --read 8 backup/block/08_IMG.img

• nvflash -r --read 9 backup/block/09_GP1.img

5. Also you can get other partitions with android:

• nvflash -r --read 10 backup/block/10_APP.img

• nvflash -r --read 11 backup/block/11_CAC.img

• nvflash -r --read 12 backup/block/12_MSC.img

Backup tf700 through dd on unlocked rooted android

1. Go to root mode:

• $ su

2. Try to get locked information:

• hexdump -C | head -n3

3. If you see:

• Non-zero bytes from 0x00000000 to 0x00000020 - you have unlocked bootloader and can continue backup
• Zero bytes from 0x00000000 to 0x00380000 - you have locked or nvflashed (AndroidRoot) bootloader and can't continue this backup

4. Get partitions:

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/bricksafe_0_2944.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 count=2944

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/02_BCT.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 count=768

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/03_PT.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 count=128 skip=767

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/04_EBT.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 count=2048 skip=896

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/05_SOS.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 skip=2944 count=2048

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/06_LNX.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 skip=4992 count=2048

• dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=backup/block/09_GP1.img ibs=4096 bs=4096 skip=11136 count=256

Build Linux Kernel

1. Get kernel source from Hundsbuah

• $ git clone git://github.com/Hundsbuah/tf700t_kernel.git source/kernel/src

2. Get linaro armhf gcc 4.7 toolchain from Linaro release site
3. Unpack it to source/toolchain dir:

• $ tar xvf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-*.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 -C source/toolchain

4. Set need environment:

• $ export KERNEL_OUT=../out MODULES_OUT=../out_modules CROSS_COMPILE=../../toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm

5. Build kernel and install modules:

• $ cd source/kernel/src && make -j4 O=$KERNEL_OUT zImage && make -j4 modules O=$KERNEL_OUT DESTDIR=$MODULES_OUT && make -j4 modules_install O=$KERNEL_OUT INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$MODULES_OUT ; cd ../../..

6. Copy modules to Multi:

• $ rm -rf boot/img/ramdisk/lib/modules && cp -a source/kernel/out_modules/lib/modules boot/img/ramdisk/lib/

Create boot image

1. Install abootimg tool:

• apt-get install abootimg

2. Prepare ramdisk:

• $ rm -rf boot/img/ramdisk; cp -af boot/ramdisk/stock boot/img/ramdisk && cp -af boot/ramdisk/multi/* boot/img/ramdisk/

3. Make ramdisk:

• $ cd boot/img/ramdisk && find | cpio -H newc -o | lzma -9 > ../initrd.img && cd ../../..

4. Build boot image:

• $ abootimg --create boot/img/boot.img -k source/kernel/out/arch/arm/boot/zImage -f boot/bootimg.cfg -r boot/img/initrd.img

5. Init blobtools:

• $ git submodule update --init tools/blobtools

6. Build blobtools:

• $ cd tools/blobtools && make && cd ../..

7. Prepare blob file:

• $ tools/blobtools/blobpack boot/img/boot.blob.tosign LNX boot/img/boot.img

8. Prepend header of the blob, thanx that:

• $ echo -ne "-SIGNED-BY-SIGNBLOB-\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0" | cat - boot/img/boot.blob.tosign > boot/img/boot.blob

Create rootfs on SD card

1. Name of rootfs archive file should start with "rootfs-" string
2. You can use tar.lzma (by default), tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz rootfs file extensions
3. If you prepared working disk.img - you can mount it and use tools/prepare_tar.sh

Test boot linux

1. Power off android
2. Insert SD card into dock SD cardreader
3. Connect your pad to host system by usb datacable
4. Install fastboot tool:

• apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

5. Power on pad and goto fastboot mode:

• Hold on Power and Volume Down buttons
• You see message and wait 5 seconds
• Now you see 3 items in menu - select fastboot by click on Volume Down
• Select fastboot mode by click on Volume Up button
• Now you're pad in fastboot mode

6. Test your device:

• fastboot devices

• You will see your device in output list

7. Boot with your boot image:

• fastboot boot boot/img/boot.img

8. Done. Device should boot your rootfs

Build busybox

1. $ git submodule update --init source/busybox/src
2. $ cd source/busybox/src
3. $ export KBUILD_OUTPUT=../out ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../../toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
4. $ make -j4 install
5. $ cd ../../..

Create installer

1. Prepare kernel zImage and modules
2. Prepare busybox binary
3. Create zip archive:

• $ tools/prepare_installer.sh installer.zip
