From my understanding, it's slightly different hardware.  The first version didn't include Bluetooth but the ug007 does. I read in another form that someone soft bricked trying to flash the mk808 to the ug007.

Watched a movie last night on my mini. Streamed the movie using Es File explorer and MxPlayer over my home network with Wi-Fi. Not a single skip or buffer pause.

I guess that doesn't tell us much, other than the processor, RAM, and OS can do the job.  I streamed the 25th anniversary performance of Les Miserables on SWMBO's quad core AMD laptop.  First time streamed flawlessly.  Second play had a slight one-time audio burp.

Benchmark testing shows the RK3066's dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU is darn slow compared to the quad-core Tegra 3.  You get what you pay for, in this case.  Still, a long way from the MK802.

Ryan, here are instructions on how to dump your firmware.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

I'm hoping mine will be delivered soon.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow (49.6 mpg over 38k miles in  Scion xB)

My wife had a total thyroidectomy yesterday, so I'll be home with the time to play with it. Its been getting a little more use as I let there kids play games on it, but I primarily use it as a htpc.

Darrell,

Thanks for the suggestion on the system dump. The method in your link did not work, but it got my wheels turning. I was able to dump the files using another method, and now I'm working on creating a flashable img file. Bob, the developer of Finless has taken me and the project under his wing. Looks like I'm moving forward as the only developer of ROMs and mods for the UG007. I already have a version of CWM recovery that I put together, but I'm not sure that's the way to go. The issue is the lack of physical buttons, and display drivers.

 There are others out there with soft bricked devices and I want to help get them back up and running.

Don't know if you tried adb push and pull for nand dumps. Found Livesuite 1.11 on that forums polaroid section if you get that far. Haven't tested it yet to see if it's still Engrish. Which is your thread?

http://download.goclever.net/serwis/tab/LiveSuitPack_1.11.zip

Nevermind, found it. Rock chip. Not livesuite.  Think I'll wait to get one after roms are all cooked! Good luck with all.

Ive been using the adb shell commands to perform the partition dumps, but I;m stilll working on getting the full NAND dump.  I have retrieved the backup.img, system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img.

Heres 's an example of what I've been able to do. 

Code: [Select]
root@android:/ # dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd4 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd4 of=/sdcard/backup.img
786432+0 records in
786432+0 records out
402653184 bytes transferred in 105.434 secs (3819006 bytes/sec)
root@android:/ # adb pull /sdcard/backup.img
adb pull /sdcard/backup.img
