Smartbook talk

Hello and welcome to this weeks post. Today I will be covering a very useful topic, putting another os on a smartbook, or virtually any other device using the wm8505 processor, for those of you who are *Lucky* enough to own a smartbook using the wm8505 processsor you probably recieved it running windows c.e. 6, which you then probably tried to scrounge up apps for , but eventually gave up. Well dust off your netbooks because with just a 2gb sd card and the links I provide, you can go straight from windows c.ee 6 to android or vice versa. More after the Break:





In this folder, you will find the two Operating systems I have previously mentioned, Don't worry they are safe to download and they both have been tested to work on a sylvania smartbook using the wm8505 processor. Here are the steps to put a new operating system on your netbook. (Note: I will update the folder with new O.S. es as I find them.


1.Unzip the Operating system zip files until you find a Script folder.
2. Plug in your 2gb Sd card and format it to fat 32
3. Copy the script file to the root of your Sd card.
4.Turn on your smartbook and back up all your files to a U.S.B. Disk or other removable media
5. turn it off and insert the Sd card. turn it back on after waiting 30 seconds. The Uboot bootloader installed on your smartbook will WIPE your storage and install your new operating system.
6.Turn on smartbook and plug out sd card.
7. You now have a new O.S. on your smartbook, Enjoy!




 I will be happy to help with any issues that might occur.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that may occur to your smartbook.
