PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller

Using PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller to Flash your Desired RC3 kernel

###You will need

1. PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller.rar, which contains:
2. Rockchip's RKAndroidTool 1.35 which I have preconfigured to flash the RC3 1080p kernel as the Android recovery image.
3. All 3 PicUntu RC3 kernels--One in 1080p resolution, one in 720p resolution and one in VGA resolution as well as the RC2 kernel and the stock Android recovery image.
4. The latest RK30 drivers in all Windows flavors.
5. An RK3066 based mini PC running a rooted Android image.
6. A monitor or TV with an available HDMI input port.
7. A USB mouse.
8. A Desktop PC (preferably) Running Windows XP or higher.
9. An OTG cable as appropriate for your device. The MK808 uses a USB A to mini USB cable, while the UG802 and MK802 III use a USB A to micro USB cable.

###Step by step process

1. Extract the PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller.rar archive to a folder on your Windows system.
2. Open up a Windows command prompt in the folder where you extracted PicuntuKernelInstallerRC3.rar to. The following commands are available:

• 1080P -- Presets the Tool to flash the 1080p RC3 kernel image to the Android RECOVERY partition.
• 720P -- Presets the Tool to flash the 720p RC3 kernel image to the Android RECOVERY partition.
• VGA -- Presets the Tool to flash the VGA RC3 kernel image to the Android RECOVERY partition.
• RC2 -- Presets the Tool to flash the RC2 kernel image (which is 1080p) to the Android RECOVERY partition.
• STOCK -- Presets the Tool to restore the stock Android recovery image to the Android RECOVERY partition. Type one of the commands above that corresponds to the kernel version you want to install and press enter. The console should confirm that the mode has been set.

3. On your Windows PC, browse to the folder where you extracted PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller.rar and double click on RKAndroidTool.exe.
4. The Tool will launch. The initial screen should resemble this: The image path may differ, depending on the command you ran in step 2.
5. Connect your devices HDMI out to an HDMI monitor or TV.
6. Connect a mouse of some sort to the full-sized USB port on your device.
7. Connect one end of the USB cable to a fully powered USB port on the Windows system. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port on your device (on most devices, it will be labeled OTG).
8. Your device should now begin to boot up. The PC's USB bus will be the sole source of power to your device during this process.
9. Once the device boots up we need to change a couple of settings so the Tool will detect it. Using the mouse we connected to the device, navigate to Settings, then click on USB in the left panel. You will see an unchecked checkbox in the right panel with the caption Connect to PC. Check this box. Your Windows PC may indicate New Hardware Found, but there is no need to install any drivers yet.
10. Take a look at the very bottom of the Tool dialog--If it says "Found RKAndroid Mass Storage USB", then you are ready to take the device into Boot Loader mode. Skip to Step 12. If it still says "RKAndroid rock USB not detected" then proceed to the next step.
11. We need to change the state of the USB storage, so the Tool will detect it. On your device, go to Developer Settings. Uncheck USB debugging, if it is checked. Now go to Storage. In the upper right corner of the screen you will see a 3 dotted colon. Click on it and then click USB computer connection. Regardless of what is checked here, you will need to change the state at least once and end up with Mass Storage checked. If Mass Storage is already checked, you will need to click on Media Device (MTP) and then back to Mass Storage. The Tool should now indicate "Found RKAndroid Mass Storage USB".
12. It is time to boot the device into Boot Loader mode, a special Android mode that allows complete access to the filesystem, up to and including complete reimaging. On the Tool, click the button labeled Flash Mode. The screen should go blank and Windows should detect new hardware. Here is where we need to install drivers. If your device does not reboot for some reason, try this alternative: Open up a Terminal session on your device. Type the following:

su

Since your device is rooted, the SuperUser dialog may ask if Terminal app may use root. Click Allow. You should now have a # prompt. Type the following command:

reboot bootloader

The device should now reboot into bootloader 13. If you have already installed the Windows drivers, the Tool will now indicate "Found RKAndroid Loader Rock USB". You can proceed to Step 15. Otherwise, proceed to the next step. 14. On the Windows PC, navigate to Device Manager. You should see a new unknown device with a yellow ! next to it. Right click on the unknown device and select Update Driver, then select Browse my computer. Click the Browse button and navigate to where you extracted PicuntuRC3KernelInstaller.rar to. You will see a Driver folder. Browse into Driver, then select the folder that matches your architecture (32 or 64 bit), then select your actual OS. The OK button should now be available. Click it and Windows should install the RK30 device drivers. If you are on Windows 7, you may get a security dialog saying these drivers are not designed for Windows 7. If you do, tell Windows to Install Anyway. Once the Windows drivers have installed, reboot the Windows system and unplug the USB cable to power off the device. Once the PC boots back up, plug the device back into it and re-launch the Tool. Go back to Step 9 and proceed from there to get the device back into Boot Loader mode. This time we will be flashing the Picuntu kernel image. 15. We are now ready to flash your selected Picuntu RC3 kernel as the Android recovery image. On the Tool, click the button labeled Flash ROM. The Tool will display it's progress. It should take approximately 5 seconds to flash. Your device will then reboot.

Congratulations, you have now installed your selected PicUntu RC3 kernel!
