Unbricking WM8650 based tablet

(PRELIMINARY VERSION - TO BE ADJUSTED ;)

Interface to adapt 3.3v signals to RS-232:

made as

connect here:

conn.jpg

connect serial, use ckermit (apt-get install ckermit)

launch "ckermit" and write this:

set modem type none
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 115200
connect

turn on the device, you will have a boot logo, press a key to block it or maybe you will have the

WMT # 

prompt.

Have a copy of a working firmware for UBEROID, unpack it in a dir, and read the file

wmt_scriptcmd

Now, "copy & paste" line by line from your wmt_scriptcmd to the hyperterminal.

Copy & Paste only the "setenv" lines (before "fastload", "saveenv" lines) in the "WMT #" prompt, and hit ENTER after each line.

setenv kernel-NAND_ofs  
setenv kernel-NAND_len  
setenv initrd-NAND_mtd  
setenv initrd-NAND_ofs  
setenv initrd-NAND_len  
setenv filesystem-NAND_mtd  
setenv filesystem-NAND_ofs  
setenv filesystem-NAND_len  
setenv wmt.nfc.mtd.u-boot-logo  
setenv wmt.nfc.mtd.kernel-logo  
setenv wmt.display.param 2:0:16:0:0:0 
setenv wmt.display.tmr 40000:0:10:46:800:20:10:23:480:10 
setenv wmt.display.pwm 0:25:50:99 
setenv memtotal 214M 
setenv wmt.display.logoaddr 500000 
setenv wmt.kernel.animation.addr f600000 
saveenv   
display init force 
mmcinit 0  
textout -1 -1 \"WM8650 Uberoid2.2 upgrade preparing, please wait ...\" FFFF00 
setenv bootargs 'mem=214M root=dev/ram0 rw initrd=0x01000000,32768K console=ttyS0,115200n8 loadtime=-4' 

Now, do you see those

fatload mmc 0 1000000 FirmwareInstall/ramdisk.gz 
fatload mmc 0 0 FirmwareInstall/uzImage.bin 

lines in that file? we need to do those uploads by serial. As this:

loadb 1000000

now press CTRL-\ C to go to Kermit console, and "send" your "ramdisk.gz" file.

if you have some error, use the SET PREFIX stuff that kermit tell you to use to solve.

now

loadb 0

and send the file "uzImage.bin", in the same way as "ramdisk.gz" above.

note: after every upload you have to write "c" to kermit to reconnect to the terminal :)

After this, do a "bootm 0" and your system will boot.
