=== MeLE A2000 ===
== Help needed ==


I purchased a MeLE A2000 from Tom over at [http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/546571245-Mele-A2000-TV-box-Allwinner-A10-hackable-device-wholesalers.html aliexpress], and been playing around with it as well. First I wanted to install ICS4, to do that I downloaded the '''android_4.0.img''' file from the 'net. Alas, there is a large volume of confusing information on what to do with this.
Hi,


[http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/ http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/]
I don't know where I can add a discussion but I was wondering if someone can help me,
[https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Firmware/?key=ThisIsFC2012 https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Firmware/?key=ThisIsFC2012]


For the MeLE A2000, I also downloaded '''PhoenixCardV303(win7)''' and installed that in my VirtualBox Win7 system, forwarded the OSX USB drive and told it to install '''android_4.0.img'''.
I have An IOBOX and I tried to install an internal HDD 1.5T. The operation failed and IOBOX said that NMT doesn't support this HDD yet.  


[https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Utilidades%20Mele/?key=ThisIsFC2012 https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Utilidades%20Mele/?key=ThisIsFC2012]
Although the format failed, I successfully connected with telnet, formatted the partitions, unzipped the NMT software to the correct partition. I also managed to load the init_nmt script and restart gaya and now the NMT works.
[http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/ http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/]


After that, I inserted the SD card into Mele, and rebooted.
The problem is that NMT doesn't start if I restart the IOBOX.


The power LED will blink RED + BLUE for a while, then power LED will turn off.
I think that the issue is related to the fact that my /dev/hda1 is mounted to /HARD_DISK_A1 and /dev/hda3 is mounted to /HARD_DISK_A3 although the correct mount is /nmt and /HARD_DISK and something with the /share.


Take out SDcard, and reboot MeLE. It will now boot ICS, but only on HDMI@720p.
I thought of changing the init scripts but I failed to do so (since the scripts are not saved).  


I can confirm BubbleUPNP + 2160pPlayer will play 1080p MKVs over network. Nice!
can you help?


thanks,
Gil


=== Google Market/Play ===
<blockquote>Hello Gil,


I installed one of the Terminal programs, and told adb to use TCP (haven't bothered to open my mele yet). Using adb and the instructions found [http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/30855-scripts-allwinner-a10-tablets-google-play-script/ allwinner a10 scripts] I loaded Google Market/Play to the mele.
If the partition setup is correct for the NMT, the disk volume name is HARD_DISK. So if you get HARD_DISK_A1, _A3 etc, it will fail. Should this occur, the typical resolve (at least for common users) would be to make clean re-install of the disk. And make sure your box is on recent firmware. You could google or search the forum for your HDD (brand/model) to see if there is more info there.<br><br>


=== Changing resolution ===
/share is a link to /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DRIVE/
<br><br>
I think you'll get better response on the NMT forums.<br>

Help needed

Hi,

I don't know where I can add a discussion but I was wondering if someone can help me,

I have An IOBOX and I tried to install an internal HDD 1.5T. The operation failed and IOBOX said that NMT doesn't support this HDD yet.

Although the format failed, I successfully connected with telnet, formatted the partitions, unzipped the NMT software to the correct partition. I also managed to load the init_nmt script and restart gaya and now the NMT works.

The problem is that NMT doesn't start if I restart the IOBOX.

I think that the issue is related to the fact that my /dev/hda1 is mounted to /HARD_DISK_A1 and /dev/hda3 is mounted to /HARD_DISK_A3 although the correct mount is /nmt and /HARD_DISK and something with the /share.

I thought of changing the init scripts but I failed to do so (since the scripts are not saved).

can you help?

thanks, Gil

Hello Gil,

If the partition setup is correct for the NMT, the disk volume name is HARD_DISK. So if you get HARD_DISK_A1, _A3 etc, it will fail. Should this occur, the typical resolve (at least for common users) would be to make clean re-install of the disk. And make sure your box is on recent firmware. You could google or search the forum for your HDD (brand/model) to see if there is more info there.

/share is a link to /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DRIVE/

I think you'll get better response on the NMT forums.

Hello Data3
What NMT model do you have (A110 etc)? What firmware revision?
From the looks of the output it may need an additional symlink for /share somewhere along:
# ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK /share
