[ROM] M701 avaliable from Haipad (20110111 HY)

[mELIANTE]

Haipad released a new firmware for the M701
Couldn't make sense of its descritpion, it's all gibberish but I suppose it's related to available RAM(?)

Translated using google translate:

"Before the default boot Free72MB, freed some of the contents of boot up after the 85MB available
Now boot the default Free101MB, freed after a number of boot is 120MB maximum can be used.
Rocky @ 20110111"

I'm just waiting for my M701 to charge up so I can try it

is it good for the HaiPad MID701 4GB?

 

[mELIANTE]

I suppose it is...

kernel #142, how can tis be? Latest version was 183 or something...

My first impression is the system overall response and speed has been improved

EDIT: Fak! Dumb move, I installed old version instead of new one LOL

 

[mELIANTE]

Well, now with the correct files selected on FWDN, I get a CRC error in the end and no boot

What could it be?

Do you have the 2gb version? If you have the 2gb version this could mean this update is for the 4gb version. Would be nice if they posted this information on the website.

Offworld has posted a how-to on fixing error'ed flashes.

[mELIANTE]

Yes, mine is a 2GB version. Maybe that's what they mean with big memory? lol

It was easily fixed, just had to flash previous version.

I have to agree.
The error i get after checking the CRC of the tcc890_mtc.img is the same i got with the 'HY' firmware
So this firmware is very probably for the new 4GB Haipads with HY NAND flash.

 

[mELIANTE]

Well then, maybe they'll release a new version for the older model too? Otherwise I'll have to stick with #142

I did just send them a mail with nearly that question '^^

Dear Haipad team

I am the lucky owner of a m701-HDMI 2GB
The device works wonderful and i love the Video and 3D capabilities and the responsivenes of the Touchscreen.

But when i look at the last two firmware releases (20110111 and HY 1221) they both seem to be for the new revision with 4GB Hynix(?) NAND.
Will all future firmware releases be only for that model or will you provide secondary downloads for us 2GB pad owners?

Thank you for building these great devices
Your sincere
Loonix

(please dont slip on my slime trail )
I am very curious if i will get any reply.

 

[hammada]

did any one tried the new firmware yet ?
what is the differences?

 

[mELIANTE]

Everything's possible ^^

 

[hammada]

I dawnlode it I'll update now !

 

[Lingerie2Order]

I am going to try it now - wish me luck! The 4gb version I believe they released earlier as a different firmware update I tried it on my pad and just got the boot screen and errors were reported in fwdn, but this babe hopefully is the ticket. Will let you know shortly what happens. I am bricking it, (in english bricking it street slang means scared for those that don't know) but I am as excited as a baby with a blanket.

 

[Loonix]

What makes you think this firmware is different from the one on haipad you linked to in the other thread?
If you would have read this thread you would have known that we already established that this firmware is not compatile with at least two 2GB models
and gives the same CRC error message we get when we try to flash the 4GB HY firmware on a 2G model....

 

[Lingerie2Order]

Well my firmware update failed so I am going to rip my pad to pieces now or maybe I'll wait one or two more days.
