Lol i installed it and it don't installation to system at all

version 1.2.0 ???

[Guest rickywyatt]

v 1.5.0

[Guest rickywyatt]

have you looked in system/app to see if its there

[Guest kabirsaini2011]

have you looked in system/app to see if its there

yep its there .. or may be it shifted by accident lol

[Guest rickywyatt]

pm me the link to the application

[Guest rickywyatt]

have you see the mount of Permissions that application has

[Guest ben1066]

Righto, hello guys. I've been speaking to someone who actually develops the firmware for the device, and he can't tell me any more but he has told me that:

1) The IFWI is the modem firmware for the device

2) The K800 and OSD use the same Intel CPU but a different modem so their IFWI is not compatible

3) Their user builds are labelled similarly to the leak we have, however instead of eng.release it's something like supk_user.release.mfld_pr2.BKB4OUK.devr3.i284

4) They do not use the tool to flash engineering firmware

MiHome v1.20 just installed and x-plore does not show it on system/app for me.

Also, uninstalled without problem, maybe it is that apk you have.

so how do thay flash the bootloader

[Guest rickywyatt]

where has he gone lol

[Guest ben1066]

As I said, they can't say any more. It doesn't seem like he touches the bootloader at all, they have engineering devices with the engineering bootloader already.

[Guest rickywyatt]

dam it lol wish thay could tell us how to root it

[Guest rickywyatt]

he cant unstall it untill he disables the one key locker lol

[Guest kabirsaini2011]

he cant unstall it untill he disables the one key locker lol

lol u r right ...this was totally noobish and foolish :D

[Guest zodh]

look.I do not know if this is of interest.

The page just says "Not Found"...?

"Root access intel az210 The Intel AZ210 (also marketed as XOLO X900 in India and Orange San Diego in the *Adb/Hard Root – Access to Android Commander *Soft Root- SU *Pre Deodexed the ability to flash custom ROMs onto the phone, and also providing easy root access."

But that is all it says, no further info.

[Guest i am not a hacker]

Android commander requires root to use and there are no links of any form to continue with it.

[Guest vermat17]

If root was achieved, could it then be used to flash custom roms etc.? As in even if we didn't have a custom recovery or flashing tool??

Edited August 3, 2012 by vermat17

[Guest i am not a hacker]

Potentially yes, but I think we need the bootloader unlocked which should be easier with root achieved.

[Guest vermat17]

I've sent another email to Xolo explicitly asking whether they intend to unlock the bootloader or not, as they keep avoiding giving a proper answer to this...

If they say no, then we should count that as the final nail in the coffin in terms of getting outside support :(

Hi,

And we can't have root or flash with JTAG ? (http://software.inte...roid-atom-jtag/)

In Intel embedded software development Tools, it's said :

(http://software.inte...tom-processors/ in 'What's new')

Intel® JTAG Debugger – extended Intel® Atom™ platform support

• Linux kernel debug, On-Chip trace & SMP run control
  
• Register access via bitfield editor, translation and descriptor table access
  
• Flash memory tool
  
• JTAG probe connectivity
  

the problem is the hardware necessary to do this ... : (

I'm newby, I just wanted to put together an idea already known but not tested and may have forgotten ;)

[Guest vermat17]

Maybe I'm being noobie here, but doesn't flash memory in that context mean storage??? Like as in a usb flash drive??

[Guest ben1066]

If you want to go to hardware hacks, we can flash the flash directly and overwrite the bootloader easily. The point is, it's not practical.
