There is 1 thing that I can't do. I can't fully access to my USB NTFS pendrive, I can read from drive in XBMC explorer but can't write to drive. I've fully access to microSD card formatted as Fat32 only NTFS isn't working. Maybe someone have solution how to enable full access to USB NTFS pendrive?

I've been enjoying the Linux goodness since early December! I have a bit of a situation here and I'm trying to get back to recovery. I talked about the situation here. The RevertToBox4.2 isn't working for my situation. I'm wondering if this is related to something Finless said here. Is it possible that I'm not able to reach recovery because the RevertToBox4.1 includes the "factory_update_param.aml" file that Finless believes is unnecessary? I'm going to trying the steps quoted above without "factory_update_param.aml". Am I way off here? Cheers. Edit: Results I don't think that worked. Followed the usual procedure, held reset for 10 seconds and released. I had about 1-2 minutes of display off (not black) and three solid red LEDs. The "Net" LED flashed blue and back to red three times at roughly 10 second intervals. After the third cycle, the screen went to solid pink. It's been about 5 minutes and still pink. I rebooted and get a mix of white/pink/red screen colour. Help? RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - Biatsch - 2014-01-27 Quote:Hello Post from kgonla from another thread Or use my bootcard https://www.dropbox.com/s/q56yszydusv9681/BOOTCARD%20%20for%20MX%2020130805.rar and follow all instructions within rar file dont forget to format in fat 32 and execute dd.exe when copied to sd be patient and wait ...... While flashing For round about 2min. Black screen U have used wrong spi Flash bootcard then go into recovery and flash xda release with bootcard u will get android recovery again RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - bubblefish - 2014-01-27 Testing RC2 Linux on ATV 1200 Working great , NFS / Samba streaming works , very better than xbmc on android ( geniatech image ) , because android works 2 weeks after then android crashes and i had to restore the full image , maybe a bug in intern storage / tested on 3 deff. boxes - geniatech,cyclone,mygacia - no hardware problem ). Now the linux image is faster , and more stable and no on/off booting troubles. ( only time display is not working correct ) thanks RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - tinker - 2014-01-28 (2014-01-27, 12:14)Biatsch Wrote: I wrote to geniatech and they give me this instructions and my atv is working again. I tried another bootcards before this but no one worked. Biatsch: Did you actually need a serial cable to pull this off? If so, what connectors are needed at the PC and ATV ends? I've been wondering about that.

I use usb TTL serial cable. As long as you use the sdcardmaker and the uboot_MX.bin from geniatech it will work. It took me a long time to find this out. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - Biatsch - 2014-01-28 I posted it cause it might be a better description then mine..... It was posted from kgonla in another thread ..... But bootcard and files are the same i got them from geniatech too, like auxbox wrote .... Most of faults u dont need usb ttl just the bootcard just read carefully the description in zip format sd to fat32 copy all to root on sd execute dd.exe then plug sd into box and bootup with toothpin and powerplugin to flash ..... Then wait for round about 2min and u will get android back ......... In the post below i forgot to quote the text from kgonla now its fixed sorry RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - tinker - 2014-01-28 (2014-01-28, 06:31)AuXBoX Wrote: If you cannot boot your device into recovery mode or the led light stays red instead of going to green then you will need a serial cable. Thankfully, I didn't have to go that route! I could not revert to Geniatech Android though. I thought I'd bricked it but the Geniatech Linux/XBMC would successfully install with a bootable SD card. I found the XDA Linux/Android ran very well, but the only real advantage was the 'suspend mode' tied to the power button. I think the power button should just suspend the HDMI video so that an HDMI smart switch can revert to a TV satellite or cable box. When you hit the power button again, XBMC would be where you left it. Both Linux/XBMC versions run much better than the Android versions I've tried. Thanks again for opening the door to these distributions with your clear instructions and help on this thread, tinker |
