I have an Geniatech ATV510B (M3) and tried to install the recent pivos linux M3 firmware onto it and confirm that it can't be installed. Gives following error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.build.product") =="xiosm3"
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.img
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Was it the force flash method you used?

What version of busybox came installed on your 510b
Thanks

I'm not too well versed with android yet so dont know what force flash means. I just did the usual pinhole reset method to update.
I do see an busybox file in /system/xbin but don't know how to check what version it is.

Hi!
Try this:
rename the update.img to update.zip , unpack , then go to the following folder META-INF\com\google\android\
open "updater-script" with Notepad++
delete these lines from the beginning of the updater script:

assert(!less_than_int(1355547874, getprop("ro.build.date.utc")));
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "xiosm3" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "xiosm3");

Now repack the update , rename to .img and try to update.

only have these two lines
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "xiosm3" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "xiosm3");

So once deleted line 1 is show_progress(0.500000, 3);

Can anyone help really desperate to get this thing flashed, thanks

Pretty please anyone gonna make my Xmas, just a bit more info
 
Would replacing the line with what in the standard update bypass the check?

assert(!less_than_int(1343287419, getprop("ro.build.date.utc")));
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "stvmc" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "stvmc")

I don't have a box I can use at the moment. The one I had is wrapped up for a Christmas present at the moment :). Although I have asked for one myself.

Hye cupi1234,
thanks a lot for the instructions. I tried that and the getprop error is gone now but shows up a E:signature verfication failed error

I tried copying the cert files from METAINF dir and made the new img but still the same error. Any ideas?

Probably you need to resign the update zip.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/93205994/Update-Zip-Packager.zip

unpack this into a folder

unpack the update.zip you want to modify in the "placehere" folder
if you want ,make modifications (remove .apk-s add apk-s etc...)
run "script.bat"
Do you want to clean out previous updater-script and update.zip (y/n)?
press "n" "enter"
press "2" "enter"
wait
When signing is done You're good to go

Ok now. So i did all the steps and was able to install it without errors.
But now the box is keeping on rebooting infinitely without showing any bootup screen. Could it be anything to do with a different bootloader between the pivos and the geniatech boxes?

Hi,

Does anyone know the name of this connector? I'm trying to buy a plug for it so i can fix my bricked ATV1000

I have looked but cannot find one. Nothing seems to fit.

Some time ago I saw a post where Geniatech sent someone a connector.

You might like to contact them.

If they do not have one, they may be able to tell you where to buy one and its item no., etc. And if they do, could you post the info - it would be very useful.

If you don't find a connector you may try with some connectors like this from an old pc:
Best_price_10pcs_lot_RS232_TTL_Converter_RS232_to_TTL_Max_232_chip_2_634557030036292438_2_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

Or you can find connectors like in your picture , in some old cassette players.(go to the flea market and search for some dismantled players)
