It works on a black 2Gb 7" Novel that was bought from Big Lots.

RR7T20WBL1

Hardware platform: RD101-2GB-W
Firmware: S64N-SLST-OP15_PD-2001_03_01_A
KERNEL 2.6.27 PDUI@ANDROID
Adobe RMSDK: 9.1.0


I re-named the file

S64N_SLST_PDUI_PD_KOBO_BB_20101104.dat

I'm just coming late to the party. Just bought two old black rr7t20wbl1 from XScargo for 40 $ because I knew you could do clever stuff with em. PIRATE BOX http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=935157

I'm having a bit of trouble loading the new os. I'm just going to read the comments for a the first 30 tries. Hopefully it'll work out

[DarkRadience]

Sounds silly but I cant seem to find the market after flashing with the market version.

[marcelleblank]

alright!! So after some hesitation I took the plunge and upgraded my pandigital bpdn 7" with the same specs as above (from xscargo) to the 2.1 Google version and it works. Holy street view batman!!

Some bugs and some awards:

gmail works fine, market works fine after the pre-date trick taught to us by the Terminander.. so far only the original email app fails. I haven't tried any of the other apks included with the firmware update. Opera Mini works really well for Facebook and POF.

I may have missed something in the previous threads but how do we uninstall some of the factory apps? I don't care about Barns and Nobel, along with a few of the other preinstalls.. and want to clear up space for others. Is there an easy button for this? Clear Data is an option, but not uninstall. Is this done through the PC or by using another method? Was incredibly easy to flash as well using the naming conventions I covered in a post here: http://www.slatedroi...amt-rr7t20wbl1/ - Overall this thing is a kick butt little tablet.

I even installed ANTI.apk (whooooo...) - Google it.

Some of the apps are slow to load on first run. As mentioned I am also out of space since the bpdn I am using is only 2g. I also downloaded angry birds Rio but it was too slow.. so I went with ebuddy and a few others. Thank you Terminander!

Once I got the market up and running I picked up Ghost Commander. Worked well in uninstalling the stuff i didn't need.

@terminander: Thank you so much man. It's working extremely well.

Anyone else having problems with writing access to /data/data in the root? I can't seem to do anything in there (Create files, folder, or tamper at all)

UPDATE, I got it working by following someone else instruction's from a unrelated post.

(http://stackoverflow...e-to-pull-files)

On rooted device you can do this:

1 Open cmd (terminal emulator)**
2 Type 'adb shell' (I skipped this part)**
3 su
4 Press 'Allow' on device
5 chmod 777 /data /data/data /data/data/com.application.pacakage /data/data/com.application.pacakage/*
6 Go to the DDMS view in Eclipse (No idea what this is, but I can play in /data/data now)**

perhaps a really dumb question but why would you want to access that directory? Is that where you can remove factory apps ? what else can you do?

Well I was trying to get tethering running but since the novel doesn't have iptables/netfilter I cannot set up the novel as a adhoc/wifi access point. (Goal was to set up my novel with a smashed screen as a piratebox)

I guess the kernel needs patched to allow iptables to work.

[eosirl]

terminander - I bow to greatness!!! <bowing>

Thanks for making the BPDN functional.

[mgdm12]

Hey terminander!
We can make a newer kernel, using a base kernel!
Ask for help with xda devs!
My phone, X10 mini pro has originally .29 kernel but paul-xxx from xda has ported the .32 kernel for ICS.
With this we can port a newer version using overclock and ram swap.
I think this can run 2.2 cause im on brazil and on some websites i have ads from generic tablets and netbooks that run Froyo with 128MB Ram.

Best Regards,mgdm
Sorry for bad english im from brazil.In a vacation on USA i buyed the pandigital.

[DerekandriodBLOGz]

@mgdm12 okayy!!! now we talkin wow now i guess we can get FINALLY 2.2 ON THIS THING MAYBE

@DerekandriodBLOGz,with a overclock and swap,we can try to run HoneyC or CM7,cause X10 mini pro have 184mb of ram and run CM7 and a CM9 port is on the way (very stable now).
The list below show what we need to port:
CWM Recovery
A newer kernel like .29 or .32
CM7 or HoneyComb.
But,first,we need to port CM6.

Any new development? I am expecting to see some solutions to run Froyo.

[terminander]

Porting to 2.1 was effortless, because Pandigital released an identical tablet with just more memory and speed. If I could get their newer kernel working, well that would be different.

Porting cm6 would take some work and is not worth it, unless a flacky flash player is your hope.

Porting to cm7 takes new hardware files like acceleration/rotation etc. But this would be the real prize. Decent editing, flash player, speed , etc. But a huge amount of work and with an old kernel?? One of these days I may throw GingerBread on it and see what happens. If anyone with some experience wants to try I'll gladly help out. But believe me it will be an alpha with lots of problems and really not be useable a a daily tablet.

Biggest problem with updating without Pandigital is Hardware Graphics Acceleration. We lost 3D without a newer kernel (important for games), if our kernel doesn't support newer 2D and 3D drivers modules, we won't have either.

But don't stop dreaming... We once asked for Donut and we got Eclair. Maybe if we ask for Ginger we'll get IceCream. LOL

[mgdm12]

Yeah,but,how we compile the AOSP to .dat?
Im looking now at my BPDN.
The Android Hacker say the BPDN has 99MB Ram avaible to the user.
The processor runs at 532MHz.
The BPDN has a GPU?
Im thinking......may the BPDN is similiar to the Samsung SPICA hardware!

Well people, we asked for Donuts and got an Eclair.

Thanks to Pandigital for releasing a new R70F200, we have a hardware compatible Android 2.1 FW. The F200 has 256megs and runs at 800MHz, so I had no luck running it's 2.6.29 kernel, but the rest of the file system is 100% compatible. (Thanks to the guys that screwed up their F200s and got me working on this.) Edca2002 and I have worked out a few bugs and you might be surprised.

This Firmware is for the Original Black 1.5 Novel Not the R70F200

Eclair google_OP21_15v1.0_S64N_SLST_KOBO_BB_20101104.dat (Market Version)
http://www.mediafire...6j1zo53tgyiwv3w

Just rename to S64N_SLST_KOBO_BB_20101104.dat or use normal naming conventions. See Market Note below.

Eclair beta 2.1 OP21-15B1.0_S64N_SLST_KOBO_BB_20101104.dat (unlocked and rooted only)

http://www.mediafire...xkbj1fjvsg81fo9

Just remove the first 12 letters or use normal naming conventions to flash. You should have no problems reflashing any other firmware again

Working:
2D Graphics
Movies
Sound
WiFi
Rotation
Sleep
USB-PC drives
ADB

Not Working:
3D Graphics (may never work without 2.6.29 kernel)

In the Works:
Market and Google apps. (partially done)
Apps to SD (now that there are thousands of apps )
Swap Partition


Market:

Market as of this summer is a little flacky with clockwox modded framework, but follow these steps.

Flash firmware and set date, etc.

Log into Market. Market will reset a few times, so restart Market and you will get finished. Market will load with No Matching Content, close. Wait about 5 min. and Market will update itself.

Set your date back one day. Start Market and it should be fine. Download something. It should work fine.

Reset you date and start Market. It should work.

Note: I have put some of the Google Apps in /data/app where they could be removed by Manage Apps under Settings.

CarDock, com.amazon.mp3, Facebook, GenieWidget, GoogleGoggles, PassionQuickOffice



Enjoy....

thanks so much temrinader! sorry i've been gone for a while with work and school and crap but it was a very pleasant reintroduction to see Market working! you are fantastic!

[mgdm12]

Terminander,anything about 2.2 up versions?
