I don't have OPI-PLUS, so I cannot test, and I won't try to make any new OPI+ image.

I've tested ZIDOO X1 image on OPI-2.

I think the issues I've been having are with my 32GB sd cards, I'm going to try and get an 8 or 16GB tomorrow from somewhere....
Been monitoring my UART ports with an arduino, and although it's sometimes a little buggy - I can see if there is activity.
I'll try again and post some logs - ignore the fact that some characters are messed up, that's because I don't have a proper cable - and was making do with what I had.
Have ordered a USB -> UART - but will be a week probably coming...

Also tested the Zidoo image - some success at last, I've posted in that thread.

@laboris - I went back to trying to use your linux script, and it still wasn't working - so I was trying to debug, even though I don't really know exactly what it's doing...

I wonder if you can answer a quick question: ran command as below

shawn@morpheus:~/Downloads/OPI_android_linuxinst$ sudo ./create_android_sdcard /dev/sdf

It does create some of these partitions - well maybe all of them - but I think the /system image is missing...I have managed to create this partition on a smaller 2GB SDCard, but I don't think its big enough for the rest of the script to work.  

cfdisk /dev/sdf gives this:

I think everything is created ok. If you have empty system or data partition (/dev/sdf7 & /dev/sdf1), maybe you don't have rsync installed. It is needed to copy system, data and cache partitions from image.
Message about overlapping partitions is normal. Allwinner has strange android partition structure (overlapping).

@loboris - sorry I mispelled your name last post!

You are a genius man - that was all I needed to do...maybe you can update your post incase anyone else has similar issues...
I know you mentioned replacing some of the files by unpacking and repacking to get the ethernet working - on my OP+, is that still the case?
Or can I replace the files directly in Linux?
Thanks again!

@loboris - new microSD cards arrived today, and was able to flash using PheonixCard - so issues all along are with my 32GB sd cards...so anyone else having problems - you need to use at most 16GB card.
I have tried with 8 and 16GB cards, and both images boot fine.

Now my final problem is just getting the ethernet port working on either the Xidoo or this image...  I tried copying the system.fex and boot.fex from sun8iw7p1_android_orangepi-plus_uart0.img - and repacked, but I get what looks like the original chinese Android, with no USB or ethernet.

Any ideas - as I know you were considering trying to mod this to allow the ethernet?
Thanks again!

hi~~
I tested on 4K TV last night.
It doesn't work.
Anybody does try it?

Can you be more specific about what exactly does not work.
Have you tried zidoo x1 image with 4K monitor?

P.I.Joe

wow. thanks for your work loboris. I am just testing v2 on an orange pi 2. First impression is that the processor gets very hot. Is there a solution for that?
