[ROM] Apad Batch 2 - HiApad Firmware English - 0530

Can someone please host this somewhere else? I could once I have it. I can't get it from the site you linked, because it wants me to install some Windows-only downloader.

It's getting kind of late. I would mirror it but... I'll upload and go to sleep. Going to take 30 minutes...

Someone should just repack this into update.img so it can be flashed easier. If the mechanism exists.

Please report back about this. If not we have to extract the images to find the script that does this on the Archos.

Hello,I've seen that both Archos and aPad have the same kernel but built on different machines (using AFPTool -info). But i've not been able to retrieve to kernel configuration. So is it possible to get the kernel configuration as well as the kernel sources ? The kernel is GPL so any modification made to it should be released as well as the configuration to build it.Maybe we can ask Archos or Chip3c to release the kernel sources and configuration so that we may compile a new kernel.So if anyone could ask him (I don't speak Chinese).

kernel source for Archos 7HT is online on the archos homepage.

thanks for this xaueious!ill work on putting it in the download section.

Why isn't there an easy way to update the firmware, like HTC does with the update.zip file you just put on your SD card.I'm a Mac user, no VM or Windows available.

[quote author=gevrik link=topic=454.msg3846#msg3846 date=1275390783]Uhm, HTC does the same thing with HTC Sync. Most cooked ROMs are available as update.zip, but that does not come from HTC and you need a custom recovery image to use those. So yeah, official aPad flashing works like with any other manufacturer.........[/quote]The Google Nexus One rom is out there, also official rom versions for the HTC Dream and magic. You only need to rename them into update.zip to update using the SD-card. No cooked or custom roms. Used this method a couple of times![quote author=gevrik link=topic=454.msg3846#msg3846 date=1275390783].......Use Virtualbox to install a Windows version inside of OSX and you should not have any more problems.[/quote]Bying in inferior Microsoft product or download an illegal version to update my APad and pollute my Mac? You must be kidding, right ???
