Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing
 
VIA: https://jolla.comes.today/jolla-tablet-on-taobao-china/

Jolla Tablet have DnX Fastboot mode by press and hold volume up + volume down + power
Droidboot mode activating by holding volume down while booting

Using Intel Phone Flash Tool on windows, or fastboot scripts on Linux/Mac you can reflash Jolla Tablet using firmware from
https://mega.nz/#F!WRYTSTCT!GH3LESa54OAxT9i2aS1fQA

SailfishOS folder contains working SailfishOS firmware to flash Taobao tablet or reflash your Jolla tablet back from Android. Should be flashed from dnx mode.
Android4.4 folder contains firmware to flash your tablet to original Android. Can be flashed from dnx or droidboot modes.
MIUI folder contains MIUI 5.5.4 ROM (based on Android 4.4). En/Cn only. Should be flashed from dnx mode.
CWM-BOOT-ONLY folder contains files to boot to CWM recovery once, flashing CWM permanently is not known yet. Should be flashed from droidboot or dnx mode.
I have tested it myself, flashed to Android 4.4 and back to SailfishOS successfully.
Have fun :)

Cool, Thanks!
But in SailfishOS firmware folder I see only two files with .tar.bz2 suffix. No flash-sailfish.xml file here :confused:

And another question. This tablet don't have recovery mode like a phone ?

P.S. Or you mean Intel Phone Flash Tool should see this file "flash-sailfish.xml" ?

well, i thought you know tar.bz2 is an archive and can be unpacked to a folder on your pc :)

And sure there is an modified recovery mode too, you can check zendesk for more info.

I personally dont know about Aigo, but Jolla Devs said it have worse hw and probably Jolla firmware may be not suitable, but who knows. Jolla tablet with Android is a way to go :)

ok, than i will buy one from taobao with android os and save 15$ and can use it for shipping :)

I say you are wrong.
Most SailfishOS ports start at that level, getting HW to work comes later - after initial booting OS, GUI etc.

nothing interesting when tablet is x86 based and uefi supports ai64, you can just boot any os you like just by inserting installation usb stick. if someone develop or do something to make working touchscreen and other drivers it will be really interesting :)

Re: Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing

No idea, sorry :) need someone who know how to modify android boot and other roms :)

ukica 2016-03-10 20:50

yep.. this 4.4 is ugly as hell :)

coderus 2016-03-10 21:04

Re: Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing
 
install good launcher, root it, install xposed and gravitybox and you can use it very well :)

Uploaded CWM boot files to MEGA. Press and hold volume down during boot to boot to droidboot, and then load cwm xml file to Intel Flash Tool and start flashing to boot to CWM. Flashing CWM permanently not possible yet. Using CWM you can flash opengapps for 4.4 x86, supersu and many other goodies :)

Re: Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing
 
Interesting that the firmware is available. Just an idea. Could this firmware be used to flash another device? I have an old and slow tablet, Viewsonic Viewpad 10pi that came with Windows 7 and Android 2.3 (Intel Atom Z670 Oak Trail with PowerVR GMA600 graphics). I've installed Debian on it, but it is quite slow to run a modern desktop on and the touch interface is not that good on any modern distro (at least two years ago when I tried). I guess Sailfish could be faster, but there could be problems with the graphics. It needs quite a new kernel to get any acceleration from the dreaded PowerVR graphics chip.

I think it wouldn't work without drivers. The HW of the tablet must be the same or at least compatible with the drivers in the SailfishOS Image.....

Re: Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing
 
Hi,

I managed to install Android. However I don't know how to install Google Play Store. I have tried some gapps packages and none of them worked. I don't know if I am installing them correctly and if I am installing the right one.

Please give me some hints. Thanks.

I was also following instructions to install gaps and they wanted TWRP. I was using adb and installing each app separately with adb install. Is that correct?

Where can I get opengapps for 4.4 x86? Does x86 work or do I have to find x86_64?

Re: Jolla Tablet Firmware Flashing
 
opengapps are here: http://opengapps.org/
our android is only x86, so no x64

Thanks a lot. Without your help I would not be able to do anything. And I still have a question. I finally installed opengaps and now play store says "Error retrieving information from server [RH-01]". I have followed several instructions on internet how to fix it with no success. But it is much better now. Google account is added and calenda, mail, etc. are already syncing.
