Hey beth remember my post on the extra "fota" partition? Can you verify if it is present on your merit?

# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00600000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "boot"
mtd2: 00180000 00020000 "splash"
mtd3: 00080000 00020000 "misc"
mtd4: 03980000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 0dc00000 00020000 "system"
mtd6: 0a280000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "oem"
mtd8: 00180000 00020000 "persist"
mtd9: 00f00000 00020000 "fota"

Are they on yours?

Last week while still trying to get to FTM mode, I kept doing the adb reboot and it was driving my BF crazy cause of the bootup sound. He asked what was I doing and I told him. He said if you haven't figured it out by now why don't you give up. I said hey it took me more then a month to figure out how to hack my new tablet and I did, I'll figure it out :)

Now that I saw what the files were in that Avail Tcard Flash, the OEMbl is probably that partition mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "oem" I'm going to later go into windows and see if it shows in qpst tools. Also believe the persist is what locks it up the way it is:
