Unboxing Rikomagic MK802IV TV Stick

Posted by android team Kamis, 30 Mei 2013 0 comments

Thanks to Rikomagic company, I just received yesterday the new Rikomagic MK802IV Mini PC. As you all know, the MK802IV mini PC runs Android Jelly Bean 4.2 and it is designed to be plugged directly into the HDMI port on a TV, converting the normal HDMI TV into a Smart TV, and makes your living room become a widely popular home entertainment center. 

You can see the new RKM logo inscriptioned on the case of this new beautiful and powerfull device. Also, the case for MK802IV looks the same with the MK802IIIS case. This time Rikomagic chose to add in the box the wall adapter power supply, which is a very good decision, because the previous models got into a lot of trouble because the owners didn't use the 5V 2A power adapters as recommended by the manufacturer. It is known that current of TV and PC USB is about 0,5A (5V) and external power supply to the TV box is needed to ensure the normal functionality of the device. Lower power affects the WiFi reception, video HD decoding, and more...
You can download Hi-Res pictures from here.

 
 
Featuring the Rockchip 3188 chipset solution the MK802IV is capable of truly blistering performance for games and demanding apps, it also has the smoothest GUI you will find on any TV device, fully utilising the capabilities of Android 4.2

The MK802IV comes with 2G DDR3 RAM and 8/16 GB Flash, Wifi and Bluetooth.

*CPU: Rockchip RK3188 quad core Cortex A9

How to dump current Android firmware

Posted by android team Jumat, 17 Mei 2013 0 comments


Romdump is a (very) simple program that dumps the boot, recovery and system partitions to your SD card, this will allow someone who is technicaly minded to create a recovery image.
First, you need a rooted device before you can begin the process. After you have rooted it, you have download from Play Store an application called 'Android terminal emulator'.

Next, copy the 'romdump' file to your SD card and put the sdcard into your device. Copy and paste the romdump file to /data/local/ (open root browers /root access file manager and then go to data folder and then open local folder and paste the file romdump). Change the permission of the romdump file (using ES File Explorer --> Hold the file --> Properties --> and change it to 755 (rwxrw-rw).
Created a folder name 'romdump' in SD card.  Open the installed android terminal emulator app and use to following command:

After you run that you can copy the whole folder from /sdcard/romdump to your PC (using external sdcard, usb plug-in, etc)
Note: if you get a error about "cannot create /sdcard/romdump/..." that means you need remove a file/folder in your sdcard that named as romdump. You will see all the things whats going on below if you see this then you will get the ROM dumped if not then follow the steps once again.

Here is the list of the files you get after running romdump:

config.gz
system.info.gz
boot.img
recovery.img
system.tar
checksum.md5
Android ROM dumper v0.82b
(c)2011 Sebastian404
Device : xxxxxxx
