Hello dear friends I managed to get working a new Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 based on the 3.0.8 kernel and the update zips.
Many thanks to:
- M1cha from this forum helping me with the initial rom am the technical procedure for flashing using UART that was necessary in the development stage.
Requirements:
- An Eboda HD for all 900 player (If you don't have one, buy one :p)
- Am sdcard/usb-stick formated using FAT file system with at least 256 MB free space
- Lots of guts (If you follow the procedure right nothing bad should happen)
Instalation Procedure:
- Get an USB-stick/SD-Card
- Format the USB-Stick/SD-Card using FAT file system
- Copy update_system.zip and update.zip to the USB-Stick/SD-Card
- Make sure that you TV is switched on and the Player is connected to it
- Shut down the player
- Unplug the power cable from the player
- Insert the USB-Stick/SD-Card into the player
- Push the player power button and keep it holded down
- With the power button held down plug in the player's power cable
- Keep the player's power button held down for at least 5 seconds (you should be now in recovery mode)
- Now the update procedure will start you will be able to see it happening on the TV
- The update procedure has 2 main stages, after stage 1 it will reboot and continue the second one.
- When the second stage will finish the updater progress bar will reach 100%
- Wait till the second stage finishes then unplug the power cable and plug it back to boot the device
- Congratulation !!! you flashed Android 4.0.3 on Eboda HD for all 900
Installation Notes:
- The instalation will happen in 2 stages, the player will reboot once and continue with stage 2
- After the second stage finishes you must unplug the power cable and plug it back again to boot the device.This is necessary because of a bug in the new 3.0.8 kernel that does not handle well the power management.
