Let there be ROOT!!!!

The reason for this thread was to maybe get one of our wonderful devs here at xda to maybe help us arnova g2 owners out. I am looking into how to root as we speak. I will work hard on trying to get us a root and custom firmware ASAP. To answer your question about why the devs won't release what they have already is. I believe its not fully running. Its their project and they can do whatever they choose with it. I always believed in sharing and letting the community help out with bugs and such, but that's just me. I hope to have something close to root or even full root ASAP.

guys, im having massive trouble with this.

i just bought the arnova 10g2 and put the update.img on root folder, and it started firmware upgrade, as it should.

however, the tablet's screen went off, and since then, it hasnt come on again.

ive tried pressing reset, reset + UP and it recognises something has been connected in windows, but windows is refusing to install the rockchip driver in the .zip given above.

i do not get a splash screen, it remains on the blank screen all the time. the only way i know its turned on, is when i connect the micro usb cable and it makes the usb connected sound, then does not find the driver, and does not let me manually update it.

please help!

ive tried the things above, i put the pin in reset, leave it in, press up and immediately release reset, continue pressing the up for 15 seconds, then let go, connect the micro usb, and after a few seconds, usb device not recognised.

thanks for helping guys, i need to get this sorted, as it is a gift for someone on wednesday :(

[General Questions and Answers] kaymado:
second custom firmware

Hi peeps,

FYI, the link above is the first custom rom, which does give you access to install market etc, but it has a bug that limits your app space to half, so very quickly you will have the message "running out of space" and will not be able to move the remaining apps and this can only be resolved by uninstalling.

There is a second custom firmware posted at htcmania with root, market, google apps and 210MB free app space.

I installed it on my 10 G2 and have been using for almost a week now.

Working fine so far. (out on 15th dec i think)

http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arnova-10-g2/new-arnova-10-g2-custom-firmware-posted-htcmania/

What works in comparison to first custom rom:

This one feels smoother

There are no lines on screen when starting (was fixed)

Has the market and other google apps but not all is working yet.

NOT WORKING -

Google calendar does not come with this custom rom (i dont see it), but its strange as other calendar apps such as "acalendar" can still see the birthdays i have on calendar sync -weird...

Google GMail - Apparently the app does not refresh the emails but i use K-mail for all accounts and it does the trick for me (2 gmail accounts, hotmail and yahoo)

Also, please remember that this rom is HALF-rooted, and the system partition is not enabled for "write access" and therefore not all apps will be able to do root stuff.

How to install:

simply download the file from: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BAW9EYIG

Connect your device to the electricity socket, fully charge it and leave the socket connected

Unzip the file and put the file with extension "img" within the root of the device. Make sure it is named "update.img"

Copy the "update.img" file to the root of your device

Unmount USB on your device, it should give a prompt asking to update, if it does not, then restart the device.

If it still does not ask you to update, then the file will most likely be in the wrong place :)

Hope this helps! May the force be with you and bring on ICS for this thing!

(maybe a port of this one since hardware could be very similar)

After rooting my Arnova 10 G2 the Market Doesn't work

hello friends and developers,

I just got my arnova 10 g2 rooted yesterday following this zip file and procedure:

As I can not post links here, the file I used to root this table is called Arn10G2-23-01.zip in the arctable.com website

But after finishing the procedure, the table is rooted as I have checked using the terminal app and issuing the 'su' command. I installed the ArcTools 0.6 as instructed and tried to install the Tools applications and the Android Market, but somehow in the process where the Market ask you to CREATE o ENTER as a already Registered user, I select the second option as I already have registered there, and at this point after selecting the NEXT button it stays there for some quite time and finally the page that appears tells you that 'the phone' (witch is not a phone) can not connect with the servers. I have Internet connection through WI-FI going Fine, and so at this point I got not a clue what to do so the the Market can continue, recognize my device and finally installs.

Any help from anyone who have rooted this with the page I place above please give me some light on what should I do, My best regards.

Never ran the 1.2, ran the 1.1 this past Saturday and had zero issues rooting and reflashing my Philly Newspapers Arnova 10 G2. Got rid of all the garbage apps, just reloaded the 3 PNI apps. Very simple, especially compared to the issues one has rooting and flashing to an S-ON but unlocked bootloader device like the Rezound.

version 1.3

version 1.3 by finless bob http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17806868/arnova10g2_v1_3_market.zip

how to install go here

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....stom-ROM-by-Finless-Version-1-3&p=428#post428
[General Questions and Answers] hgoldner:
Ran the install, updating from finless' 1.1 to 1.3 yesterday. I have reinstalled all my apps; moved what I can (that isn't running a widget) to my 32g microsd card, and I still have more than 700 megabytes free for installation. (Compared with 30 megabytes fee, barely, before rooting and running this ROM).

I think Bob's ROM converts some of that 4megabyte space to ext3 for the ROM to run. Everything is quite smooth, and the tablet clearly runs "smoother" and faster.

BTW, I have the Philly Newspapers version of the tablet myself. I had already backed up those 3 apps (the only ones in the default firmware that I care about), an Bob provides other zips with the apps and media that come with the tablet in its other markets.

I find this one runs a lot better than bob's version and is ext4 not ext3 but more roms = more choice and thats good just need xda to to open a device section for arnova 10 g2 and get everything in one place :D
[General Questions and Answers] hgoldner:
Not sure that's going to happen (a dedicated forum). If I hadn't just gotten 1.3 settled in, I'd jump over to Kasty at once. It's pretty amazing that my tablet went from unrooted stock with barely 30 megabytes free for another application to well over 500 megabytes free with everything installed. Of course, that's probably 'cause the ROM is taking some of that 4 gigabytes internal to convert to ext3, but with a SD card, that doesn't really matter.

I agree that it's great we finally have choices, let alone one custom ROM for the device.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remo.sp:
Hi everyone!

Something is seriously messed up with my HTC Desire Z.

I downgraded my phone as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

and rooted it like this:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

I then installed ROM Manager, flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 and flashed Virtuous Unity ROM.

So I've got in Bootloader:

Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)

MICROP-0425

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

Everything worked without any problem - so far. After a few days (and no changes) the phone application of HTC crashed endlessly and I had to enter my PIN code (to unlock SIM) again and again. So I decided to flash a new ROM to fix this problem and this is where my real problems beginn. The ROM update to Cyanogenmod 7 failed.

First what I still can do:

- I can still enter the bootmanager and use fastboot from the computer.

- I can still access cwm recovery but only with errors.

- I can still flash some ROMs (like MIUI) via recovery without any errors, but it changes nothing.

Now what I can't do:

- I can't use adb, the device doesn't show up.

- CWM recovery shows the following errors at startup:

Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Can't mount /chache/recovery/last_log

Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

- I can't boot up my phone, it ends with the HTC screen (waited for a long time >20min).

- I can't flash a newer or older recovery using fastboot (tried a few):

sending 'recovery' (3624 KB)... OKAY [ 0.624s]

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

- I can't perform a RUU. After clicking through all the warnings and starting the update process RUU wants to restart the bootmanager at the beginning of the procedure. This ends with the HTC Screen and RUU brings a connection error after a minute or two. I tried different RUUs.

- I can't manually flash the PC10IMG.zip. The bootmanager brings the errors:

SD Checking...

Loading...[PC10DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PC10DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PC10IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PC10IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

But it loads the PC10IMG.zip anyhow and brings the "parsing...[SD ZIP]" screen with possibility to start update now. After pressing volume up to start flashing ends with error "Fail-PU" at the first entry (Bootloader) and below it says "Partition update fail!". I tried different PC10IMG.zip's.

- I can't do a NANDroid restore in cwm. It says:

Erasing boot before restore...

Error while erasing boot image!

I also formatted the miniSDHC card, did wipes in cwm and performed a full wipe using SuperWipe from the forum here. I hope I didn't forget anything...

I really don't know what else I can do. I would be so thankful if anyone has an idea or solution for me! Thanks in advance!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
I didn't send it back to HTC, as I bought it from a local importer.

Most people have had no issues with rooting, as its a hardware issue so it's HTC's responsibiltiy to replace it anyway.

So you have a dead eMMC. Can you get the phone replaced? If so, before you send it in - would you like to be a guinea pig? :p You have the engineering hboot - do you know how to use fastboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remo.sp:
Hi, thx for the answers!

Using a RUU didn't work and flashing the PC10Diag.zip from the downgrade page (this should be stock) failed too. Is there another way?

So the local importer replaced the phone without sending it to HTC or the responsible service center first?

I hope so but I'm not sure, as it's easy for HTC or the service center to recognise that I bricked it by flashing/unrooting and there's no more warranty.

Here I'am! :o

Yes, but I'm no expert. If I'm in bootloader the command fastboot devices shows my phone, so little experimenting should be possible. What should I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
Disclaimer: Please be aware that following this procedure could permanently brick your phone; so if you don't fancy having a potential paperweight, you don't have to do this.

Could you run the following commands?

fastboot oem reinit_nand

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

and tell me its' output?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remo.sp:
Mhhh ok then I prefer to send it in first. Maybe I'm lucky and I get a replacement. But if not, I will definitely try these commands.

I'm in Switzerland and I have to send it to the responsible service center. What do you think should I tell them that I most likely get a replacement?

Basically same stuff here. DZ:

VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.85.0013

MIVROP-0425

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

can get into fastboot. If i try to go to recovery, device shows htc boot screen, the boot screen with green pictogram, and then switches off, vibrating about six times in a row.

reinit_nand - Command error

rebootRUU - device gets stuck (previously it did load into that mode, but stopped after some time)

erase system - not allowed

erase userdata - same

erase cache - gets stuck (freezes)

As far as I get, bad emmc here? everything was fine till couple of days before - at first freezes and reboots, afterwards - stuck at boot forever.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
Well there's your problem - your hboot is S-ON and it's not an engineering hboot. See if you can update it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_banshee:
Unfortunately, all the methods to update hboot to ENG I located require working adb. Would appreciate if you point me to one with fastboot.

I did try flashing official RUU. If I use .exe process gets stuck at rebooting into update (rebootRUU). If I use PC10IMG.ZIP on SD card - update gets stuck at flashing boot - it saz "updating" and no changes for minutes, and nothing changed after reboot. Can't boot into recovery also.

As far as I understood from reading around, this is probably caused by corrupted emmc chip.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
Yes, it is caused by a corrupt eMMC. I'm just trying to see if there's a way out of it. I have a couple of ideas.

This is why I wish I was in physical possession of a bad eMMC phone then I could work and work at it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remo.sp:
My phone (DZ with eng hboot and corrupt emmc) is now in repair. We'll see if they do it under warranty or how much I have to pay for it. If it's to much I maybe can send you the phone via airmail. But for now I just have to wait...

I have an EnGenius ESR-9850 wireless N router with B+G+N turned on and auto WPA2 encryption. I can connect all of wireless devices(laptops, bluray, tv, iPhone, Xbox, etc) but not my Bionic. About 10 seconds after I attempt to connect to the EnGenius it will actually REBOOT the router! I've tried turning all the encryption off and only using N instead of B+G+N and still the same thing. Then I found that if I just use B + G it works fine. I've tested this on three different model routers and have the same result.

So in conclusion it seems my Bionic dominates any router that has wireless N turned on and reboots them. I guess it really does control all machines, just not in the way I'd like...

Anyone else having this issue???
