Actions PAD Firmware Modify Tools

Some Actions' programs I found from Baidu shares during the holidays.
There is many vendors who (unlike Ainol) share these tools there.

When Ainol released the source code, "小二黑, Xiao Erhei"
said that they have some plans to release some more stuff
(like this?) but I've heard nothing about it since then.

With "Pad Firmware Modify Tool" one can do the same things
(and more) that some of my packages do. For example it enables
re-partitioning like the partition patchers and the "Liberator" tool
(although they are lighter/more flexible).
And it also makes boot logo editing package obsolete now...
(when editing Actions' boot logos that is)
For boot.img editing one still might have to use something like my uImage un/repacker.

Anyway, it's a nice tool for stock ROM modders, etc...

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/70585-adb-drivers/

(Tip. Copy adb.exe from driver package to Modify program's "Tools" folder
and using them at the same time becomes much easier.)

Download ATM702X v2.0: http://yadi.sk/d/I8VGcAOfdpUfP

Questions? --> Guide in English, Google translated
Procedure :

1 electrical hardware devices ADFU let into the state , connect the USB to the PC side . If you have already installed the ADFU drive the properties shown below , if the display device or other property can not be identified , reinstall ADFU drive correctly.

2 Double-click on the main folder ATM7029_hardware_tools.exe, open the test interface is as follows :
  • Test item selection area
  • Green indicates normal ADFU devices connected
    Red means no device is connected to normal ADFU
  • Button to start the test
Check the items needed to test , the test is as follows :

(1) PMU_initial: The main control on the PMU chip configuration items , configuration master , DDR and SD card required power . If this does not pass , please focus on examination of the PMU 24M clock and SPI interface is OK. The option is mandatory .

(2) DDR_32bit_scan: scan 32bit bit wide DDR data and address lines of the interface. The right to return to full A, an error is returned full 5 0-3 last bit indicates byte0-3 returns an error , return 4 shows the address error, return 5 represents initialization failed. Below shows , which means that the DDR byte1 error.

(3) NAND_CE1 / 2 / / 3/0: NAND flash interface to scan items. According to the actual hardware configuration, select the corresponding CE items. CE is usually double check CE1, CE2, four CE , then the whole hook. Right will return all A, and flash the ID information.

(4) SD_card: The T card is used to detect connectivity interfaces , make sure T card is inserted properly .

(5) Audio: The test is the master data lost through an audio interface to PMU chip, while the output sine wave audio signal through headphones and speaker, can be used to detect abnormal audio path.

(6) HDMI: The test will output an image to the TV , make sure the HDMI cable connected properly .

4 Click the Start button to start the test .

Pad Card Writer Tool V1.01

Make bootable SD cards. Don't ask me how.

But please tell me how if you know.
Space for instructions... :rolleyes:

Chinese instructions: http://yadi.sk/i/9OVS4SGAVmHw2
SD card package for Hero2: http://yadi.sk/d/FGvUiJ4CVoTgV

For some reason erasing flash didn't work for me. It might be that the boot device must be changed to SD card??
In some package it was done in afi.cfg like this (haven't tested)

// Boot Device
//
// 0x00 - NAND
// 0x20 - SD0
// 0x21 - SD1
// 0x22 - SD2
//
INF_AFI_DEF_BYTE = 0x08,0x20; // sd0

5. Click "Clone" item.

"Clone" operation will clone all setup information in the equipment terminal, including APK installed by user, default bookmark/home in web browser, desktop interface layout, and system settings to the new firmware (saved in file of data.img)

Clone procedures:

Step 1: before click "Clone", check and set up all the contents desired to be cloned (such as default language, time zone, default input method, desktop layout) in your device;

Step 2: shut down the checked and modified device in normal manner (to ensure the modification in the above step (if any) to be cloned, please always do this operation);

Step 2: start up the device and connect it to the PC with USB debugging (if the "Clone" button is highlighted, it indicates a successful connection);

Step 3: click "Clone" button to start clone operation;

Step 4: finally, "Save" in the firmware.

After "Save" in the firmware, two files cloned in formats of data.img and data_bak.img respectively will be available in the firmware. In the mass production of the firmware, please select both data.img and data_bak.img and write them to the device.

You have to open fw file first.
Also usb debug mode must be enabled
and tab running normally.

Clone - is to keep the current firmware that you now stands on the tablet??

It clones the data partition apps from the device, and their settings,
and makes a flashable img file. Also data_bak partition is made,
which if you do factory reset using stock recovery restores the data
partition back to the default. Like the guide says...

Greetings:

CXZ, I am sorry: I read the Help guide and I located the USB DRV_4 file and tried to install it. I went through all three of the options under it. I have USB debugging on. I can see the tablet under the PAD Product Tool, but NOT under the Firmware Modify Tool. I cannot get the Clone button to turn on. I am trying with an Ainol 8 Discovery.

What am I missing? Can you detail what you did to be able to use the clone function? Please excuse the bother, but I have to install the same ROM on 20 different tablets and this would help me immensely. Yes, I tried using TWRP, but you need to have the same serial number on the folder containing your Restore files as the tablet has. It is just too complicated. And there is no Clockwork Mod for the Discovery yet, so, this tool would solve it for me.

Thank you in advance.

Doesn't the CWM work in Discovery. To my knowledge it should work.

Greetings,CXZ, and thank you for the prompt reply. Yes, I did open an FW file with the tablet plugged in to the PC and USB debugging turned on. I had the FW file data visible, the tablet plugged in, USB debugging on and the clone button still unlit.

Please do not apologize, ask anything, however obvious, I well know how any nonsensical detail can get missed and spoil everything.

Did you install any drivers on your PC? Any separate drivers, different somehow? For the ADB bit?

The CWM File you were kind enough to link works perfectly. I am making a Backup as we speak and will restore it unto the other tablets.

Thank you for it, indeed.

However, the matter remains of successfully cloning a tablet using the software you found for us. I hope you can give us a hand with this. A guide detailing how you did it or similar. I do not know if it has to do with installing different USB drivers for the ADB connection. Did you do that?

Also, I just noticed that you are the author of this fantastic CWM version you provided me with. Thank you for solving my immediate problem and giving me a good morning after a terrible day yesterday dealing with this.

Do let me know if I can donate, please.

Thank you again.

Yes, adb drivers must be installed separately.
So here is again the link: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/70585-adb-drivers/

>CWM version

Nope, I'm just the author of the installer.
The author of it is bnmguy.

>donations

Sorry, I don't take donations, but if you (or anybody else) want to support firmware
development for example Christian Troy has good use for them. (maybe bnmguy too?)
(if you make one then please tell it's for atm7029 tabs)

Hi cloud. Yes, that's correct. the older Roms get flashed with the older tools. The new ROMs get the newer tool. This latest ROM gets the 1.05

Sometimes I have to un install one version and install another to flash a ROM. if the ROM won't flash- and you know you're doing it right - the first place to look is the version of tablet tool you're using.

I have donated to Christian Troy in the past. He is awesome. I am sure you received my PMs. I am all for continuing on this. If we can give a detailed cloning guide, I think it will be very useful.

I say "we" but you are doing most everything!
