Gotta start somewhere....

Hello all...

I kno I'm late to the party but I'm here now.....and thoroughly lost as if this tablet was new.

I'm kinda embarrassed to say it but after readin all of this (30+pages so far) I'm not even sure as to which tablet I actually have.

The box says nextbook 7" Multi Media Android Tablet with Digital apen.

Now when I plug it in to the computer says Next5.

Android 2.1

V2.0.9.ECLAIR.eng.root.20110303.194107

My main mission in this journey right now is to put something better than 2.1 on this thing.

I've tried at least 10 different roms (update.img) and all said invalid firmware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I've updated the os on my phone a while back so this isnt toooo foreign to me.

Kinda fun.

Which Nextbook do you have

You can tell which Nextbook Next you have if you look on the back of the device, it will tell you which model it is for example: Model No: Next6 or Next7 etc.

Has anybody figure out the Next6 for root and or custom roms yet? Market is the big one of course.

I have read many posts that go back and forth in regards to the Next6 and Next7. Please if you have figured out how to root or add custom ROMS to Next6 could you please post a walk through as this is all very confusing to a noob like me.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just got one of these and used the blog article mentioned previously to install the google framework and such to my NextP7.

Currently running fine, with LauncherPro Plus, market, gmail, etc.

Are we anywhere close to knowing what makes for a "valid" update.img for the unit? once we get beyond that, we should be able to unpack > modify > repack a rom.

Something tells me this device may be limited with how big a rom it can hold... cramfs size limits to 16MB or 256 MB at best.

Would definitely donate some cash to a dev who can root/s-off this device.

I have a Next6 device and I am quite interested in upgrading the OS on this. I have not done anything on Android yet, but I am chef for the Omnia II i920. So, I'll be doing some reading in hopes of catching up with the rest of you.

Ok so after lookin a lil harder I see that I have a Next5 which is even more frustrating because all I can find info about flashing roms is on the next2, next3....and the next6 and 7......What about the 5????? Will roms for the 6 and 7 work with the 5?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xxProphecyxx:
I have been following this thread since I bought a Next7 a few weeks ago. It seems to me that there is not much of an interest in custom ROM with these devices. I can not find much information on this device besides the link to install the market [I posted back one page]. Maybe we can all work together to get a custom ROM on the Next7, after using ICS on my Captivate... GB just kinda sucks.

Here is how I flashed a firmware without access to recovery:

If you are in a bootloop, Connect USB and Power.

Press and hold pin on back until you hear windows try to detect a device but the screen is off.

Download this: http://arctablet.com/assets/tools/Fi..._Tool_v1.4.zip

Install the driver from the drivers folder.

3. Installing the drivers on the computer

Following the tablet entering in recovery mode, the computer should now show it has found a new USB device and prompt for a device driver. Select the appropriate driver in the driver directory from the Rockchip Flash Tool 1.4 package.

It will then install the driver for RK29 Device

4. Sending the firmware to the tablet

The flashing tool should display a green square around the number 1 in the lower left area of the Windows application.

Select the firmware file to flash using the button in the top right area of the application. Select the update.img file from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/NQHSNZJSO2

Then push the Upgrade button to transfer the selected firmware to the tablet.

The firmware will be copied to the tablet, a progression counter will go from 0% to 100% on this step, followed by a verification.

You are done, let the tablet reboot and update itself. It should take a few minutes for the flash process to finish.

This procedure has been successfully tested on Windows XP 32 bits for flashing a bricked NextBook 7 Premium YF1011 (but should work on others)

Would like the same thing, all the megauploader and whatnot links are DOA. Have a Nextbook 6 I'm trying to get market on for a wife's friend from her work.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

I do think I'm getting closer to adding the device via winusb.inf in the Android SDK, tried a few guesses using PID/VID from logs from other devices that are similar to it.

[Google.NTx86]
;Nextbook Next6
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0x2207&PID_0x281A
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0x2207&PID_0x281A&MI_01

[Google.NTamd64]
;Nextbook Next6
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0x2207&PID_0x281A
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0x2207&PID_0x281A&MI_01

I'm probably not close, but I think I'm going in the right direction.

Quick question...

Will the roms for the NextP7 work on the Next7? Or has the next7 been abandoned for the newer model?

Next 6 Rom

I have searched high and low for a next 6 rom. Every link i find is for megaupload or multiupload which neither work for obvious reasons.

If any of you have a working next6 rom or know of where one resides I would be very grateful.

guys any hard reset method for this device..?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidukfl:
So after updating to the 1.2 bootloader and running a couple of different honeycomb roms i found that my gtab was not waking from sleep and had to be full restarted after a couple of mins with the screen off.

I thought it may be because of honeycomb so i recently switched to CM7 for BL1.2. However I am still having the same problem.

The only solution i found when i was running honeycomb, is to run a wifi lock app which keeps the wifi active and prevents the tab from going to sleep, but i can still turn off the screen. However this is terrible for my battery so i really want to find a proper solution to the problem.

On the 1.1 bootloader i ran the stock rom, TNT lite, CM7, Vegantab, Vegantab Ginger. and had no problem with any of them.

I have tried the following to fix the problem since updating to BL1.2:

wiping data/cache/dalvik

re-partitioning storage

NVFlashing

turning off wifi completely

turning off wifi and turning on bluetooth

using volume buttons to wake

adjusting CPU settings to lower and raise CPU speed when screen is off

lowering and raising voltage

leaving power plugged in vs. running on battery only.

Any other suggestions are very much welcome. I want to fix this problem but still be able to run 1.2 and have the latest best roms

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
Some people report that Fancy Widgets causes sleep of death. My tablet has the sleep of death only when charging on the dock, Vegan 5.1.1 on BL 1.1.

Any chance you bought a dock or started using Fancy Widgets around the same time you switched to BL 1.2?

My computer is flaking out while installing updates, sorry if this is a double post.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidukfl:
nope. no fancy widgets and no other docks. Even on a total clean install with nothing else installed it will go into SOD
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmenzie:
I run GtabComb 3.3 on the 1.2 bootloader and i don't have the SOD. mine goes to sleep and i can wake it up everytime. so i don't think it's the 1.2 bootloader unless the creator of GtabComb figured out how to fix it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonnyLT:
Sleep of Death, HC 3.3 BL 1.2

Just echoing the first note, and confirming that I have the same combination (HC 3.3, BL1.2) with no extras, clean install, and continue to bump into Sleep of Death. Sort of a nuisance. Tried most of the items listed in thread #1, but still no success.

So, in reply to the previos comment, I return to Bootload version 1.2 as the culprit, and not Honeycomb 3.3. Maybe some interesting combination? Will review the files and try to follow-up with a note.

Thank you. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmenzie:
Well that sucks I guess but I can assure you after wiping my device as I normally do when switching roms, all I did was load GtabComb 3.3, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped davalik and reboot. No sleep of death.... EVER :) nothing wrong with the 1.2 bootloader here
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidukfl:
im thinking its just a random problem with a select few devices. If everyone had this issue with BL1.2 im sure we would have heard about it.

but from what i can tell a select few devices had SOD with 1.1 and some have had issues only with BL1.2 like myself
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldfirex:
It could just be the hardware. I have had the SOD (or it just rebooting) since day 1 across different ROMs, bootloaders, and stock.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmenzie:
i will say i had the SOD when i was using CM7 on the 1.2 bootloader but when i switched to GtabComb it stopped. i also don't thing i had it when i was on Flashback either. it was just CM7

Samsung might look good on paper, but their quality really does suck and those fancy screens dont last long in regards to battery life.

The only advantage to samsung is the screen technology. Outside of that they sacrifice usabilty and quality for external asthetics.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
So basically you are saying that Samsung is the Apple of Android phone manufacturers :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Their quality sucks in regards to what? Their mobile processors that have been leading the pack since the Hummingbird? Or their NAND memory that every other manufacture wants for their device? Oh wait. I know. Its their cameras eveb though Engadget just said the GSII has a better camera than any other phone in history besides the N95.

The SGSII actually has longer battery life than any Android device so far. I can also tell you that eveb though the phones are light, it does not mean their not durable. My Vibrant lasted through several drops and over 50 house fires. In those fires it got wet most of the time. My Nexus One however only survived 4 fires before it broke due to water damage. The phone would still turn on but the touch screen wouldn't work and I could see some water under the display. In the end, Samsung uses plastic for a reason. Cell signal along with WiFi signal more readily pass through it than it does through metals.

I think the cable that ships with the Charge contains an extra pin, hence the reason why generic cables do not work.

A 10' USB cable could quite possibly be to long to work properly with the phone. Try something shorter, 3ft or 6ft at the most.

i am trying to port the 2 registry files 1.Discretix DRM.reg and 2.xperia drm.reg

i am using sktool registry editor to import

when I try to import 1.Discretix DRM.reg my x1 reboots

when i import 2.xperia drm.reg the screen pops up a little box and says ported 1

is my x1 suppose to reboot itself on the first reg file?

AM I SUPPOSE TO COPY ALL 88 CAB FILES TO MY x1???????????

I AM ONLY COPYING THE DEPENDENCIES CAB FILES....... is that the problem?

WHAT DOES DEPENDENCIES MEAN???????

COULD IT BE THE ROM I AM USING?

I HAVE GOTTEN X2 PANEL MANAGER WORKING WITH ALL PANELS ON MY X1

JUST NOT SLIDEVIEW

I AM USING DIFFERENT PANEL MANAGER I FOUND ELSEWHERE AND IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY

So slideview still does not show up on my x1 with me doing the following

Heres a list of what i am doing

1st way:

ive downloaded and tried both the sixth release and fourth release files and the original release files as some of the files are missing in the 4th and 6th release.

I've tried this way of installing with both the original release and the files from the 6th release DID NOT WORK EITHER WAY!

Dependencies:

12_SEUS DRMWhiteList

15_Extra Fonts

2_Awox mediaCTRL

28_OEMNotif

42_SlideView Plugins

47_SlideView (of course )

64_Sony Ericsson XpFramework

65_PlayNow (sometimes it can't install, skip it)

70_EmzFilters

88_SlideViewDisableErrorMessage

DRMClient (!). Download, copy .zip contents to \Windows\ manually (using Resco Explorer, ...), apply *.regs.

Thanks to NighPlayer32

DRMClient is MUST-HAVE!

Then I have tried again both the original release and then tried the 6th release files to this tutorial in succession

DID NOT WORK EITHER WAY!

2nd way:

install panel manager R3AA :

1. install sdkcert

2. install panel manager R3AA

3. copy xpengine.dll to folder panelmanager

4. install PMLauncher

5. install Xkeyhandler

6. install X2PM

7. install activeXdeployment

8. install flashpanelAndMMIInstall

9. tilewave panel

install slideview

12_SEUS DRMWhiteList

15_Extra Fonts

2_Awox mediaCTRL

28_OEMNotif

42_SlideView Plugins

47_SlideView (of course )

64_Sony Ericsson XpFramework

65_PlayNow (sometimes it can't install, skip it)

70_EmzFilters

then copy DRM client content \Windows\ and apply *.regs.
