[Gen9]Modified init for HDD and flash G9, 350MB & "no-busybox" archos.ext4

[Gen9]Modified init for HDD and flash G9, 350MB & "no-busybox" archos.ext4
Updated version- should work on HDD models too
Disclaimer: use this at your own risk. I'm not responsible if your tablet wants to kill you.
Here's modified init for suduru_petru's rooted 3.2.80 firmware
Now also for HDD models
Tests were done by philmein
Before you start
-make sure that you have more than 512MB free space in internal memory (/data) or more than 350MB if you want to use attached system file
Features
-system image runs from /data partition (internal flash)
-dalvik-cache wipe is done for system updates, also can be triggered manually
Installation
1. Install SDE menu- INSTRUCTIONS
2. Prepare required files- copy archos.ext4.update file to the root of the card (if you have archos.ext4 just rename it to archos.ext4.update)
NOTE this MUST be archos.ext4.update file, zipped files will not work
3. Boot to Recovery (Volume+ and Power), then Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs. New drive will popup on your pc, copy kernel_test_hdd7.zip contents on it
NOTE- you need zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz files, zip will not work
Click Ok to flash kernel.
4. Now boot to Special Developement Edition
NOTE- first boot will take longer (files must be copied) so don't panic
5. Do not delete archos.ext4.backup file from storage- this is a backup in case you have to do data wipe (Reset Android)
6. Enjoy
Usage:
To update system: copy archos.ext4.update file to storage and reboot
To wipe dalvik-cache: place an empty file wipe-dalvik.update in the storage and reboot- you can use djnilse's script
If you had to wipe data (Reset Android): don't worry, just reboot
If you had to format storage: make sure that when system boots

Old version
What is changed
-dalvik-cache is wiped for every firmware update
-dalvik-cache wipe can be started manually
How does it work
Dalvik-cache wipe is higly recommended with every firmware update (or replacing stock with a modified one), also can help with app FC's.
For every firmware update- archos.ext4/squashfs.update file- dalvik-cache is wiped automatically (and you can't do anything about it )
To trigger dalvik-cache wipe on your own place a file named wipe-dalvik.update in internal storage (/data/media) and reboot.
NOTE: first boot after wipe will take longer
Installtion
Zip contains both zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz, installation as usual: Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs then copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to the new drive that pops up on the pc and click OK on the tablet.

EDIT:
Script for easy creating wipe-dalvik.update file by djnilse: HERE

hi, Let's see if I understand correctly. for updating is necessary first copy new firmaware and empty file called "wipe-dalvik.update" in /data/media. reboot table in sde and copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz. rebooting and delete "wipe-dalvik.update". is correct? thank you

Not exactly.
When firmware is updated -archos.[...].update file- dalvik-cache is wiped anyway without any option not to wipe it.
Wipe-dalvik.update file is needed if you want to wipe dalvik-dache eg. when apps have a lot of FC's.
But in order to have possibility to wipe dalvik-cache you have to flash modified init posted here (for ease of use zImage is included in zip, flash it as usual)

good work
this will be a better alternative for cleaning the system
i've made a script to write and remove the dalvik-wipe.update to storage
simply run it with ScriptManager or with a Terminal Emulator
this script doesnt need root rights
@gen_scheisskopf you could include a link to this in your post
and THIS IS NOT A test file
simply just rename it in dalvik.sh
run it with:
Code:
sh dalvik.sh
and dont forget to hit the thanks button
------------------------EDIT--------------------------------------------
don't hit the thanks button, this was not difficult
try to make a shell script on your own Here a tutorial have fun

Dalvik-cache wipe is included in all "standard" recoveries and it really can help in various situations (sometimes for bootloop also)

There is no need to remove wipe-dalvik.update, init does this just as with firmware .update files.

I've checked supercharger script and honestly I'm not sure if it's absolutely safe to use:
-dalvik-cache wipe is done when Android does not run in every device I've layed my hands on (samsung i5700, htc desire, prestigio multipad 3384 and android hardware belonging to my friends)
-if dalvik-cache is not present system creates it during system boot
-supercharger wipes dalvik-cache also during system boot so there is a possibility of conflict between wiping and creating processes
Modified init wipes dalvik-cache before Android starts to boot so it is 100% safe, and djnilse created a nifty script to create wipe-dalvik.update file without pc access

There is no card reader on the HDD model, so I have it on the root of the HDD (I think I have understood that right, but maybe not.)
Do I need a USB card reader and do it through the 3G port?

The one on HDD is a backup file (in case of wiping data).
You can't delete the one from flash- that is system image.
I can try to modify init so system file runs from HDD (not internal flash) but this may deplete your battery very fast

if its normal thats fine i still have 500mb free
i have hdd test 3 on mine is that ok do i just updat to hdd test 7 when a new rom comes out?

[Q] Problem with kitkat by Milaq

Hello ,
I have not had success with version 3 kernel . After installation the system is in a loop trying to make the Cyanogenmod boot without success. Appears at a time, Moboot screen and then the screen goes black ( dimly lit ) ... Then the system reboots .
I used Tailor to create the partitions :
USB ( media) : 1.953 MiB
User ( ext3 ) : 1.758 MiB
Android (system ) : 600 MiB
Android ( cache ) : 200 MiB
Android (date ) : 23,148 GiB
Unused Space : None
I created a folder with name cminstall with the following files (all downloaded through the appropriate links) :
cm - 11-20140110 - UNOFFICIAL - tenderloin.zip
GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip
moboot_038 - tenderloin.zip
recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip
I reseted the WebOS Touchpad through and hit the volume button until the USB connection symbol appeared. Finally , as with all Novacom drivers installed on your computer I entered the following command in the Windows command prompt :
novacom.exe boot mem :/ / < ACMInstaller5M
The system installation appears to be correct , but the system is in boot loop .
Any help is welcome .
Grateful.

Off course,
After doing the firmware update A6 ( well described in various forums ) I decided to install a version of android 2.6 kernel . This version was released by Milaq ... It all worked . After that , I copied the files from version 3 kernel for the HP Touchpad in a different folder ( I used / AndroidSetup ) .
Prior to installing the files used the program for WebOS called Tailor to adjust the sizes of the partitions according to my needs . I've allocated the largest share available to the data partition of Android. I left a 2.0 GB partition for media Touchpad also like to use this program . I used the "resize " option in Tailor is quite simple . If it does not work the first time just try another. You need to check the partition and then change its size.
Now , within the ClockWorkMod I installed the files from version 3.0 kernel available by Milaq :
cm - 11-20140110 - UNOFFICIAL - tenderloin.zip
GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip
recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip
I first installed the recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip and rebooted the tablet . Then I did the installation of the other two files and everything usually occurred .
I hope I have helped someone .

The 20140112 milaq nightly gives me reboots and google play crashes every time. I'll give it another try next weekend.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Hangouts, Chrome, Gmail, Navigation and Maps to stop those from crashing. Running GAPPS 20130812 and jcsullins 20140125.

Similar problems but finally was able to jump from CM9 to CM11(Milaq) version. Just few days of use but looks ok. I was unable to repartition within cwm recovery scripts, fsck command gave failed=4 error no matter what. Decided to perform the hard way everything.
Current software stack, files and system being used was
Windows7-64bit, Java7-64bit
ACMEInstaller3, ACMEUninstaller novacom bootpush apps
WebOSQuickInstall-4.5.0.jar, webosdoctorp304hstnhwifi.jar Java apps
Preware, Tailor WebOS apps
Moboot 0.3.8 boot menu app
ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7 boot recovery app, this is important must be this or newer to understand datamedia mounts
cm-11-20140208-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin_milaq <- final Android ROM
Additional packages I used during the trial-and-error, you may need them or be without. Im not sure.
ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9 boot recovery app, this is not datamedia compatible but was able to see /cminstall from "webos" usbmedia partition
New cwm was not able to see webos data partition, all it could see was new /0 Android datamedia profile folders. Don't know why maybe mount point problems somewhere in a boot scripts. This game me problems so had finally upload some of the files to this /0 folders using ADB push command.
Partition table after the process, performed in Tailor WebOS application. This table is only for new Android 4 "datamedia" Google use cases.
Android(System) 600MB
Android(Cache) 200MB
USB(Media) 1024MB <- old /sdcard, but A4.4 datamedia don't use it. Leave it to WebOS.
Android(Data) +25GB <- rest data goes to this new data part, my 32GB touchpad had 25GB available
Unused 0MB
Before the rebuild process had to reboot once to ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9 and formatted existing /sdcard partition. It removed filesystem errors and was good to go. Format removed everything including some of the WebOS apps.
* Before anything else run cwm backup command and copy important user files from /sdcard folder to Windows7, copy backup files as well
* Start Palm Novacom ntservice (service name: NovacomD) to enable usb, this service may use startup=manual value.
* Start device to webos recovery (keep VolumeUP during boot), should large usb logo appear on screen
* Remove existing Android, run dos command "C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom" boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller
* Run WebOSQuickInstall-4.5.0.jar Java application on Windows
* Find Preware webos application and install, it should go to HPTouchpad device
* Reboot device to WebOS system
* Run Preware application, find Tailor partition utility and install
* Run Tailor and change partitions, you may shrink and enlarge partitions until get what you want. Leave 1024MB for USB(data) partition its used by WebOS. You maybe could shrink it to 700MB but wanted to play safe even if no planning install WebOS apps.
Following steps I cannot remember exactly what I did but am now running CM11 and CWM 6.0.4.7 datamedia enabled apps. You may need to fiddle with /cminstall, /downloads and /0 folders if new cwm boot app cannot see old sdmedia files from "webos" data partition.
* While in WebOS mount usb fileshare to make it visible in Windows7 file explorer, create /cminstall and /downloads subfolders
* Copy moboot_0.3.8-tenderloin.zip and recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-tenderloin.zip to /cminstall folder
* Copy recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tenderloin.zip to /downloads folder
* Reboot device to webos recovery (keep VolumeUP during boot)
* Run dos command I]"C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\novacom" boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3[/I] to apply zips in /cminstall folder
* Reboot device and choose cwm recovery app from boot menu
* Select Update zip command and choose new cwm.zip from /downloads folder, apply file
* Reboot device and choose cwm recovery app from boot menu
* Use Android sdk ADB tool to push files to device, cwm mount no longer works in win7 because of ext linux filesys in new /data part
* Use adb push <sourcefile> /0/<something>/. dos command to push zips to device folder
* Push copy cm-11-20140208-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin_milaq.zip and gapps-kk-20140105.zip files to device
* Start device and choose cwm recovery app from boot menu
* Select Update zip command and choose cm11.zip from folder, then select gapps.zip
* AndroidROM and GooglePlay apps are now installed on device.
* Reboot device and choose CM11 from boot menu
* TrebutchetUI may constantly crash, use topright corner pull down menu and Settings/Apps/All/TrebutchetUI and clear cache.
* You may need to reboot back to cwm and clear cache and dalvik cache few times if Trebutchet keeps crashing. Try to choose Settings/Theme/System option if keeps crashing. I had to do this few times before it was happy.
This was the very hard way and am sure streamlined method was available. Anyway this gave me confidence I still have all the apps creating CM install from scratch.

[Q] Updated CWM and resized partition, now CWM can't find my folder structure

I just updated my CWM to 6.0.4.6 in preparation for upgrading my CM10 to CM11. Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM10:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
Rebooted into webos:
resized my system partition from 400 to 600 mb.
When I booted in CWM to install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing. All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
The only folder in 0/ is clockworkmod/backup/[mynewnandroidbackup]/
Any idea what I need to do to get things straightened out?
CM10 still boots fine and my files show up in /sdcard0/. There is no sign of a folder called /sdcard/. Same story if I explore the device with a computer.
I should mention that I also moved my nandroid backup to my computer, off the touchpad to save space before I resized my partitions. I then moved it back into the folder. I wouldn't be opposed to wiping the thing and starting over to get 4.4 working.
Any ideas?

First, this issue that you observe has been discussed ad nauseam in various CM11 ROM development threads.
Second, you did not post which specific CM11 ROM you are planning to employ. So I assume it is Milaq's CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+).
At any rate, what you are observing in an inability to directly access the /external_sd partition (on the TouchPad), which is accessible in previous CM builds, but is no longer directly accessible in Milaq's recent CM11 builds (Kernel 3.0.101) or in his recent CWM recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49216229
• Milaq and others have suggested you can use ADB to mount the partition manually (sorry no instructions).
• Some have posted you can use Invisiblek's recovery (CWM 6.0.5.4 selinux datamedia) to flash Milaq's recent CM11 (Kernel 3.0+) ROM's
• You may be able to find a version of TWRP that can access the /external_sd partition.
On a related note, the new DataMedia storage paradigm which is the future of Android, has been designed into the newer CM11 and other KitKat ROM and recovery builds. Thus you need to increase the size of your /data partition.
You can use the Tailor app within WebOS to reduce the size of /media partition, then increase the /data partition size. And there are some scripts available that do similarly.
Best to read the specific ROM thread (including the OP) for more info on how DataMedia applies to the ROM build you are employing, and then be sure to read later posts in the thread regarding the inaccessibility of /external_sd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
It is possible that future builds of the CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+) might provide access to /external_sd once again. Will see. Fingers crossed.

I tried invisiblek's cwm recovery and it did not provide access to /external_sd
(and there is confusion on the recoveries specific version number)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49423381
There is another recovery on invisiblek's site: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tenderloin.zip
Anyone have experience with that recovery version, ability to access /external_sd or "compatibility" with Milaq's newer CM11 ROM builds?

Yes sorry, Milaqs rom that you linked is the one I was working from. I don't have ten posts so that's why I'm posting here. I read through most of that forum and tried searching for my issue with no luck.
I went back and saw a couple posts that matched my problem with the following solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49154585&postcount=471
When I get home I will try this although I didn't remember seeing that folder when I explored my device on Windows.
Thank you for the reply and sorry for the redundancy!

Ok so I browsed my sd storage and there is no 0 folder in /sdcard0/media
Not sure what to do now

Hey buddy,
Make sure your file browser is using root. Personally I use Es file explorer. Turn on root explorer (find it at the bottom in the side panel) and make system writeable (By clicking on 'root explorer' then 'Mount R/W'). I'm sure most file managers will have something similar in their settings.
Then go to the root of your device by clicking '/' at the top. From there you should be able to follow the post you linked above by gabhroo123. And yes i tried his method and indeed i could see the files i pasted into the folder.
Good Luck

Here is another trick that worked for me. Recover a previous stored ROM that supported both sd1 and sd0. Use file manager to copy the files you want from sd1 to sd0. Then go back to the new ROM and you will have access to your files on sd0.

Ahhh thank you. I had tried this with a different file explorer in root. Es did the trick.

Now I need figure out how to fix these black screens that lock up after a good amount of inactivity.

I also updated my CWM to http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/misc/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tenderloin.zip
in preparation for upgrading my CM09 to CM11 (Milanq 4.4 Kitkat). Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM9:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
I have not yet resize system partition.
Now, when I want reboot to CWM install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing.
All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
-clockworkmod/backup
Yes I have tried to ES File Explorer (R+W root) and following gabhroo123's notes above
I do not have
/data/media nor /data/media/0 folder
only empty /data folder.... I am able to write to copy older recovery-clockwork to /data but not "/" ...
When reboot to CWM 6.0.4.7 I still don't see any zip file.. (No files found message show).
Can someone at least point me the right URL or discussion xda-developers.com thread so I can read them.
I am not sure what I did wrong...
What extra steps I suppose to do ...because I have HP Touchpad with CWM 5.x.x + Android 4.0.1.x + CM 9 + mobo 0.35 ?
My planning steps were
#1) upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.7
#2) upgrade CM 11
#3) upgrade Gapps
Reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
([ROM] [NIGHTLY] [KitKat] [4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 nightlies [3.0 kernel])
I do see /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backupfolder.. in CM 9 and I did put CM 11 and Gapps in several place in
/media , /sdcard/media, /sdcard/cminstall etc.. but nothing.. kept saying file not found..
Should I downgrade CWM back to 5.x.x ? I do not see any install zip file at all ...how?
HELP!
Thank you

7.remove the sdcard
8.reboot the nook
I did wipe data and cache after step 3. I finished steps 4 and 5. However, flashing gapps in step 6 failed with information of error in gapps zip file [status 6]. The gapps is downloaded from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
I use the mini modular package. I am quite sure the gapps zip file is good since i have finished SD install with the gapps zip file. However, it failed in EMMC install. Now the nook can boot to CM11, but without any google stuff.
Any suggestion?

I'd suggest that you try a different, smaller size package (you can always add those apps not included later from the Playstore).
Also, if needed an alternate source for Gapss is http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps, use the "small" version.

Thanks for the suggestion. Other gapps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2397942 does not work. The gapps on the wiki page works, though it is for 4.4.2. I think the orginal thread on CM11 EMMC install should notice users on the possible problem.

I'm a total newbie to this but I think I have the same issue.... This is what I done and the results:
Used Win32imager onto 32gb Sandisk to write unpacked image of emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz then loaded onto card the following files:
cm-11-20141212-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
Re-booted and did backup of stock and cleared/formatted internal card. Installed cwmrecovery images, and CM11 nightly. Tried installing to gapps stock and mini both came up with a Status 6 failed installation error .
Tried reverting to stock and couldn't recover due to error so re-installed CM and had same error. Copied off and removed restore apks to ensure enough space and tried again - still
status 6 error.
Checked to see whether script files has LF/CR but script file is dummy and the binary all seems to be in LF format. Running out of ideas as all of this is new to me.
So looks like i'm in same situation - HD+ which boots to CM but no stock googleapps.
I know it doesn't help but looks like same issue - any ideas?

Did you try using the Gapps packages from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps? They are for CM11, the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version.

Status 6 install error solved

Deleted the pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip file.
Downloaded the two files from your link:
gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
dropped both onto the card, re-booted and installed the larger 20140606 version which installed without any error messages. Removed card and re-booted - extra apps all look in place. Will now make sure they all run OK.
Thanks very much for your help - much appreciated. Can you tell me what the difference is in the installers that make the PA versions crash or is that too long winded?

Android Version 4.4.4 Upgrade Issue

Hi,
I upgraded my Android to version 4.4.4 via the updater following these steps (from what I can recall).
1) I downloaded the latest Release version & the latest Gapps files locally to the tablet & went to recovery.
2) I took a backup, wiped Dalvik cache & apply update from sdcard.
3) I ran the Android release build zip file but forgot to run the Gapps zip file.
4) Android upgraded to version 4.4.4 but when I log in I get prompted that 'Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped' . As I forgot to run the Gapps zip file that is to be expected.
When I boot into recovery it can only see the following directories & not the update folder where the Gapps file was downloaded.
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
appdata
clockworkmd
downloads
ringtones
wallpapers
The recovery doesn't seem to be able to see the sdcard & only the internal storage.
However if I copy the Gapps zip file to any of the folders above, boot to recovery again it won't see the zip file.
I also seem to have wiped my backup trying to recovery the situation so can't roll back.
Within the recovery menu I've tried to mount/unmounts the below but it still can't see any of the folders.
Mount /boot
Unmount /cache
Mount /data
Mount /system
unmounts /sdcard
The above is my current settings but I've tried mounting them all.
To complicate the matter further the USB port on the tablet is broken so I can't connect it to my computer.
Previously to transfer files I used a ftp client on my laptop & Wifi File Transfer Pro on the tablet.
I don't know whether to finally give up on my touchpad so any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Access to the sdcard has to be enabled by the developer. You must have installed one that doesn't (since you didn't specify which it was)

Here is the build info currently on the tablet.
Kernel Version:
3.4.82-tenderloin
Mod Version:
ev_ternderloin=testing-2015.01.22
Build number:
ev_tenerloin-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.flintman.20150122.215911 test-keys
If this build doesn't recognise the sdcard, should it not recognise the Gapps zip file on the internal storage?
There is 1.4GB in total on the internal storage with 388MB free.
Do you know if there is anyway I could get a build of Android & Gapps on the tablet & upgrade to that?
Thanks for responding to the thread.

I doubt you've used the latest and proper way to install 4.4/5.0 ROM's. Go here. Start over and follow the instructions to the letter. Read everything first and decide how you want to proceed before doing anything.
