Hello,Wanna use swap, root your eken m003? I made new update.sh from eken m003 1.7.2 update. Rest of the files are from eken_tools.zip for m001, only update.sh is new. Read howto.txt and it should work. Download eken_tools_for m003.zip here:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S3RA8EFRIt works with m003 firmware release.You can download it here: http://www.zonko.nl/files/m003.rarI'm not responsible if you brick your device.I double checked files that they are same that I used, to be sure. They work, here is a screenshot:http://i46.tinypic.com/14v0hg5.jpgI have done this to two eken m003 units and it worked on them both.And: I'm not responsible if you brick your device.

The bar is rotating but nothing else seems to happen.(could be a problem with the original files i'm not really sure though)ah its definitly the files.I flashed a Eken M001 (wrong display) and it went through.Now i have to tinker....

are in the same situation, but worse to me, does not update the files ..I understand why the manufacturers do not release the source code online to allow their customers to update their machine

Even if. at the moment the problem is we can't see whats wrong. (at leats in my case)Where does it stop in yours?(thought i edited it this morning)It works for me now. Had probably a problem with the installation of the System-Files. Helped deactivating 'verbose' in the update.sh where it unpacks the System-files

This is the only way to root?It's not possible without reflashing?BRPaPiTo

 

[Zerodime]

yes you have to reflash.It could be possible without it, but would mean someone has to rework the scriptfiles and see if that'll do.

Rooting M003 is not that difficult.You need to edit init.rc (which is running every startup under root privileges) to setuid /busybox/bin/suBear in mind that busybox su is looking for usernames in /busybox/passwd, so will need to create one.
