Rayfile says 'File too big' and RaySource does not download anything for me

just use the kernel provided by bill, this detects the mmc0 device. you can disable nandriver if yousacred of destroing something.

I bought a ttl converter and hope that i didnt destroyed the serial chip already.

please use mdroid_cuptools_r2.rar, r1 have typo in button driver so you can't use home key / touchscreen happy.

I don't understand...where is the r2 ?

Yeah but i can't use rayfile and when i start my meizu (after the upgrade) he say :

Welcome to Buildroot
uclibc login :

What did i do?

r2 updated 7 hours ago in my post.
r2 also add a nand disk waiting scripts.

if you already have r1, please rename rootfs.img to mdroid.img in upgrade mode, and overwrite r2's xip.bin (kernel) into same place. go update n restart.

r2 kernel in xip.bin format:
Download mdroid_cuptools_r2_xip.zip from SourceForge.net

Welcome to Buildroot

What did i do?

You may forgot place rom image into M8. or need a soft reset.

How can i did that? into the settings menu?

hi banxian ,
It have better make kernel usb driver as ADB + UMS Gadget, so user can install apk software from usb line from "adb install *.apk" command in DOS.

Device Drivers --->[*] USB support ---> <*> USB Gadget Support ---><*> USB Gadget Drivers (Android Composite(ADB + UMS) Gadget) --->(X) Android Composite(ADB + UMS) Gadget

I'm not on windows i use Snow Leopard

remove n insert battery, press power+play, get your M8 startup into upgrade mode.
connect M8 with usb cable with your mac.
you'll see a new line MeizuM8 on left of active finder (or a MeizuM8 disk icon on desktop).
navigate into MeizzM8 disk, if there a xip.bin and rootfs.img there, you may used a r1 package.
you must replace it with r2.
get mdroid_cuptools_r2_xip.bz2 from sourceforge and extract xip.bin from it. drop new xip.bin into MeizuM8 in finder, confirm replace. if there no rootfs.img or mdroid.img inside MeizuM8, you need extract from r1 and rename it to mdroid.img, or download and extract mdroid.img from mdroid_cuptools_r2_rootfs.bz2.

you may need stuffitexpander to unpack bz2 archive.
don't drop subfolder into MeizuM8 disk.

after install the adb drivers and download android SDK, you can do many thing:
adb shell: it is a tty the same as serial
adb push: upload file to m8
adb pull : download file from m8
adb install: install software to m8.
......

I had try but it doesn't work I did a soft reset, after i put into my M8 r1 package I've rename the rootfs.img and made upgrade but don't work I don't know how i can do !! And in the archive i have just one file the name is mdroid_cuptools_r2_xip !

Edit: I am downloading stuffitexpander and will try to extract the xip.bin now there is nothing in my m8 i installed the 0.9.3.7 and i copy the r2 xip.bin and the mdroid.img

Kernel hangs shortly after desktop appear, if I enable adb drivers.
And my host os (windows server 2003) get a yellow question mark on adb device, and the usb device can't startup.
I decide to disable it in public release.

so, android is actually working, but how to get back to wince? does android support the usb plug... i mean, is the m8 shown as mass storage in windows?

so i have to download this: Download ReJacker from SourceForge.net

install like normal and everything is ok? android works!?

just like a normal upgrade in FW, enter upgrade menu, copy over xip.bin and follow normal instructions.

Big up for everyone who is working on porting android to our M8! Good job guys!

Here's a short demo video with the current build I just recorded (this is the first time I'm using Android, so please bear with me... ):
