Hi,
My no-name Flytouch/superpad from lightinthebox won't boot after my attempt at a firmware upgrade.
It used to identify itself like this:
model DISCO10
Android 2.2-20110826
Linux 2.6.32.9
Build number FRF85B
Further, it has ONE micro SD slot and two USB ports on the right side, and the
power suppy is 5V.
So it seemed to me to be safe to upgrade to Tim's latest firmware:
20111001_Tim6a.zip so I could have root on the thing.
However, when I downloaded that file, unpacked it, put it on a 2G micro SD card,
and booted up, I got this:
Updating system firmware.
Make sure your battery power is more than 70% or is connected to AC power.
Please wait a moment...
Updating system firmware...
Creating partition...
Memory size7948MB
firmware-discovery was extracted wrongly !!!
!!!!!error, please retry! auto shutdown after 1 mininutes!!!
complete with the mispellings you see.
Now, when I power up, I get the "big" green android center screen, then the little green android upper left, and then "A N D R O I D _" left center screen forever.
attempting a reflash with this version or versions 20110712_Tim5a or 20110413_TCH does not change anything.
Holding down "menu", "Escape", and power to "restore to factory" just leaves
me in the same state, "A N D R O I D _" forever.
Please help.
Is there a known good firmware image for THIS tablet, which is obviously
incompatible with the "real" flytouch 2 devices?
Thanks,
Bill Dudley
P.S. I'm an experienced programmer and am sure I've followed the instructions
correctly. I've been reading the forum for a few hours now and haven't found
anything that's been helpful.
