infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" And Updates (*.ius)

cfrockit · May 13, 2011

Overview - There are various models of infoTMIC devices supported by different manufacturers/distributors however, they all seem to utilize the same automatic update process.

Updated information is maintained on xda - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113121

Hardware ID "hwver"

On the "About device" screen in the "Settings" application, on many infoTMIC tablet's the "Model number" is hard coded into the application or pulled from the build.prop thus, it is not a reliable identification of the device. However on some tablet's, once the device has been updated to 2.2 the initial boot screen lower right corner or the "About device" screen displays the "Hardware ID" which is obtained by running /proc/cmdline and extracting the digits returned for "hwver=". Using this information the latest infoTMIC updates can be manually downloaded.

See this thread specific to 7" infoTM powered tablets - http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/sylvania-tablets/12785-infotm-update-wrap-files-bin-ius.html

Notes: Some firmwares identify the Hardware ID "hwver" on the initial boot screen. Example: 0.7.3.1(658). The three digit number between the parentheses (###) is suspected to be the version of U0 - u-boot-nand.bin as it corresponds to the U-Boot file located within the InfoTM Update Wrap *.ius file.

Note: If the device has not been updated the "hwver" can be obtained manually by entering the string "cat /proc/cmdline" using either adb shell or in a Terminal Emulator application. More information regarding these methods can be found in Step 1: Hardware version identification either using adb or a Terminal Emulator application or Alternate Step 1) Terminal Emualtor method to determine "hwver".

Code:

C:\>adb shell cat /proc/cmdline 
console=ttySAC3,115200 androidboot.mode=normal bmagic=0xeef07901 hwver=11.2.0.6

Please post any other know infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver".

System Update

It seems that most of the infoTMIC devices utilize the same "UpdateCheck" and "UpdateSystem" processes.

To check for an update click Settings > Update System > Check for Update or on some devices there is a "System Update" application.

The programmatic process follows these steps:

The Settings application queries DNS for the infoTMIC ip address and then requests a text file containing the location of the update server.

Code:

Source                Destination           Protocol Info
192.168.0.174         192.168.0.1           DNS      Standard query A [B]www.infotmic.com.cn[/B]
192.168.0.1           192.168.0.174         DNS      Standard query response A [B]58.23.131.11[/B]

192.168.0.174         58.23.131.11          HTTP     GET [B]/updateserver/server.txt[/B] HTTP/1.1
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
    GET /updateserver/server.txt HTTP/1.1\r\n
    Host: www.infotmic.com.cn\r\n

192.168.0.174         HTTP     HTTP/1.1 200 OK  (text/plain)
Line-based text data: text/plain
    [B]222.73.93.45[/B]\r\n
    211.147.200.147:2021

The "UpdateCheck" process then uses the digits returned for the "hwver=" from /proc/cmdline and uses the devices MAC address to send a registration request and awaits the response of a 64bit key which is saved to the device.

Code:

192.168.0.174         222.73.93.45          HTTP     GET [B]/reg.php?action=reg&data=11.2.0.6|00MAC_ADDRESS[/B] HTTP/1.1
222.73.93.45          192.168.0.174         HTTP     HTTP/1.1 200 OK  (text/html)
Line-based text data: text/html
    "A 64bit random alpha-numeric string in returned"

The UpdateCheck" process again then uses the digits returned for the "hwver=" from /proc/cmdline and the Version returned from property "ro.versioncode" to send a request and awaits a response if an update file is available given the HardwareID and Version.

Code:

Source                Destination           Protocol Info
192.168.0.174         222.73.93.45          HTTP     GET [B]/sysup.php?data=11.2.0.6&vcode=10[/B] HTTP/1.1
222.73.93.45          192.168.0.174         HTTP     HTTP/1.1 200 OK  (text/html)
Line-based text data: text/html
    [B]12|http://222.73.93.45/update/11.2.0.6/11.2.0.6.2.0_beta3.ius[/B]

Note: In the text string returned above, the digit(s) preceding the pipe "|" symbol is/are assumed to be the most current version. By substituting anything less in the GET command above will return the update.

If an update is available, the file is download to /local/system.ius.

Code:

192.168.0.174         222.73.93.45          HTTP     GET [B]/update/11.2.0.6/11.2.0.6.2.0_beta3.ius[/B] HTTP/1.1

Upon completion of the download, the file is automatically processed which includes unpacking the multi-part update file and burning the images.

On many devices, the automatic process downloads the update but fails to burn and update the device therefore, if you manually want to check for an update insert the identified "hwver" after "data=" and Version after "vcode=" in this string and paste in a new browser session to see if an update is available.

Code:

http:// 222.73.93.45/sysup.php?data=[B]##.#.#.#[/B]&vcode=[B]##[/B]

If an update file is identified it can be downloaded and then using the InfoTM Update Wrap Tool the device can be manually updated.

IUW Version 1.2 posted with additional information in http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/infotmic-based/17274-introduction-iuw-burning-tools.html

These are the update files identified to date -

NA - Not Applicable, not included in update file

Unfortunately, the file naming does not seem to conform to a standard therefore making it difficult to determine new updates.

For additional information on how to utilize the update files see - http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/infotmic-based/17274-introduction-iuw-burning-tools.html

Please post any other known information regarding Hardware ID's and System Updates as it would seem collaboration across devices could yield benefits for all.

However, the updated ROM still says version Android 2.1.

Any ideas how can it be upgraded to 2.2 or 2.3 ...???
The device is pretty neat and works well ... just the update which is required.

It is interesting to note that the Hardware ID's "hwver" is different from update (*.ius) FileNum thus leading to the same conclusion that many of these update files (except for the U0 image) are interchangeable.

Wrap Information:

Code:

Company: None
Board: I10Y
FileNum: 0.5.0.1.0.3
Size: 72MB

Image List:
U0 (232 KB)
UBOOT (216 KB)
RD (159 KB)
LK (2394 KB)
ADD_USER (4.5 KB)
ADD_AS (70731.5 KB)

Using the information above with the Hardware ID "hwver" 0.5.0.1 nothing is found however, substituting 13 as the Company identifier making it 13.5.0.1 in the string below - http://222.73.93.45/sysup.php?data=13.5.0.1&vcode=0 returns

Code:

This InfoTMIC Update Wrap (.ius) while it includes the I7Y in the file name it is Android 2.1 for a 10" tablet.

very helpful cfrockit, but from where can you get the Company Identifier?

I happened to have recently got an Andriod Tablet 7" with 2.2 OS (TPC7901, SVP). It has the all familiar and often encountered"boot loop" problem and I have come accross so many discussions on Forums with issues challenging an end-users' like me ability to enjoy my device (Tablet-Andriod). And I seem to wonder why Users of Tablets devices in particular with Andriod software who just happened to have paid their money for the comfort of using and enjoying all the benefits a paid for device should offer rather have to go through all these expensive time consuming researching exercise on Furums and the like to solve some kind of problem which otherwise Developers of the software or device should be responsible to solve and provide support of their customers?
