Ok, so the drivers are not in the file in the updated OP. Tried to update the driver by pointing at ALL the different folders with then ROM in the OP and it kept saying "driver is not for this device" or something like that. So I clicked on the link to samhain's ROM and downloaded the drivers from the link on HIS post. Pointed to the unpacked folder a couple different ways and it actually installed. Now, instead of saying "Run" it says "Write ROM!" and instead of saying " EraseIDB" it says "Format!" and instead of saying "No Found RKAndroid device" on the bottom like the picture on the OP does, it says "Nextbook8 connected!" Ignoring the exclamation point, I'm rather sure this is NOT good news... Didn't try to run anything as the options that appear are not what's in the OP pic. I'm using Windows 7 and have already flashed my Nextbook back in Dec on a different computer. Where are the correct drivers? And once I find them, can I just update drivers again to get it to work?

[Android General] eybarra2:
Thx loucas! Before I try this, am I correct in assuming all I have to is plug the Nextbook8 back in and select update drivers? When I tried last night and installed those other drivers, it kinda jacked up the Nextbook8 (deleted some random apps)... Thank God for TB! Also, it looks like the forum got some cosmetic tweaks and now I can't find the thx button :-/

Dead nextbook

Hi,

I am new to this thread but have been reading all the posts. I, like another user had the instance where the bottom of the Android Tool says 'Next 8P Connected' and gives the button to 'format' instead.

Unfortunately, I did this, after selecting all the boxes, and now can not get my tablet to even turn on....

Does anyone have any solutions / suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated as I am sooo angry at myself :mad:

Revert Next8P to working state...

There is a quick way to revert to a semi-OEM state with the device. I posted this over on SlateDroid a few days ago, but I'll re-post here.

NOTE! This is using a PMP5080B OEM firmware to do the restoration. Works 100% on the device, but it's not the Nextbook OEM firmware. It actually works a bit better than the Nextbook OEM firmware...

...since I don't have many posts here, looks like I can only point you to my other post.

update.img?

I have an issue when trying to flash this, in the Backup box of RKAndroidTool there is no update.img. I have tried to locate this file on the internet and in all the files supplied but found no luck. I am using the Nextbook Premium 8SE. I have attached a youtube video that perfectly demonstrates my issue. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated!

This Nextbook P8SE is my first rooted Android. How can I overclock CPU, increase screen resolution and do other cool stuff like that? I need a rooted android starters guide!
[Android General] schwil_son:
how are you rooting the Nextbook P8SE? I've tried the steps to flash and I have to stop because I can't get the Nextbook P8 SE drivers. Please help.
[Android General] ArchangelRenzoku:
You can help yourself by reading through this thread. The drivers are posted multiple times. They worked for me.
[Android General] beast1163:
I also am having the issue of finding the update.img file, Where is it located?
[Android General] ArchangelRenzoku:
What? All the .img files you need are inside the folder in the zip you download.
[Android General] beast1163:
there is no update.img inside the zip file
[Android General] ArchangelRenzoku:
You don't need it. Just uncheck the

Backup

checkbox and the rest of the process will still continue.

That checkbox was made for the outdated ROM SamDroid no longer flashes. With this updated one it is not needed as it would increase ROM size and actually be flashing a backup TO your device, not creating one before it flashes the rom - like it really should do.
[Android General] beast1163:
Worked

The only downfall to the rooting is the screen does not rotate anymore.
[Android General] ArchangelRenzoku:
I agree that not having the automatic rotation does defeat a number of purposes, however this is not due to the root - it's due to the ROM. If we were able to root the stock setup that the Nextbook was shipped with, we would have no problems whatsoever on it's own.

Nextbook 8P ROM on Nextbook 8PSE

Hello,

A couple of months ago, I installed a DEVMONKEY ROM from this thread on my 8P that worked perfectly. I now have an 8P SE running Android 4.0.3. Does anyone know if I can install the same ROM I used on my 8P on the new 8P SE ? From other posts in this thread, it seems I can. Just wondering if anyone has positively done it without issues.

Thanks -

Indeed, no matter how many times I uninstall/reinstall the drivers, the RKAndroidTool says "Next8P CONNECTED!!" instead of "Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb", and I have the Format button instead of "Erase IDB" ... I understand it was said that this means the drivers were incorrectly installed... This is a simple process, and I don't see what I could possibly be doing wrong. Using the Amd64/Win7 drivers, Please advise?

Nextbook Premium 9?

Is there any hope at all of getting help with the Nextbook Premium 9? I have even tried fruitlessly to get help from Kohotech in China who manufactured them before Efun's Nextbook rebranded them.

Has anyone managed to get a working custom rom for it up and going? I read where someone used this Nextbook 8 rom for the 9 and the touchscreen quit working... makes sense since they are a different sized screen. It's almost the same, but not exactly the same.

Has anyone done any successful work on the Nextbook 9P?

I read this thread because it was titled:

[HOW TO] Root Nextbook8 Premium (and install market app) [UPDATED 1-17-12]

All I can find is: How to flash Nextbook8 Premium with a new rooted rom. This seems well written and yes I found the drivers. (you have to pay close attention to step 2 and step 5) But this does me no good as I actually have the nextbook9. It seems the underlying hardware is the same as far as system board and such, but the two devices have different screens and therefore different digitizers. This makes it so that the rom for the 8 will flash to the 9 but the touchscreen no longer functions.

Does anyone have any info on how to root this tablet leaving the original factory rom in place? I thought rooting was the process of gaining root level access to an existing android installation. Any ideas?

Just bought this off Ebay and it was locked in the 2nd start up screen. Found this information and IT WORKS!

I can now use this tablet. Now in the process of adding aps:cowboy:
[Android General] deeno33:
Very sweet....let me know how you like the Rom. Btw did you use the original Rom posted, or the one I linked to??
[Android General] roybales:
not sure

I dont remember. Maybe this will help identify it. The boot page has the authors name. Next page has a black and white picture. Initial language I think is Portugese (not english anyway).

I also have a Coby Kyros MID 8120 that is locked in the '"secret pattern". and want to 'unlock it. I tried this routine, but of course it did not find the Coby tablet.

I can view the files and apps with my XP pc.

Do you happen to know which files or apps are involved? Something that maybe I can execute remotely? Or a ROM update like this one

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Android General] aCanOfDann:
I am having similar problems early on. I've tried this with both a Windows XP and Windows 7 computer. Each time it detects and installs the software automatically successfully, so I don't get the icon with the exclaimation mark. My other problem is that holding down the volume buttons has no effect. The only way I've found to get the tablet to display in the device manager at all is by switching it on, which prompts it to ask about being used as USB storage. What am I doing wrong here?
[Android General] roybales:
Not sure

If I recall, I found some drivers on this thread. When I first tried it on Win 7 it did not see the tablet at all. Went to XP and same thing. Loaded the drivers I found, and then ran the program that came with these posts and it found my tablet. Then simply followed instructions and it worked. Never did see a red exclamation mark - but did not look for itt because of the picture on the screen.

This load takes quite a while - go get coffee or something. When it is finished it will tell you. It does a load and then a verify.

The first boot takes a while - but from then on it is reasonable. Remember it loads in a language other than english. The Setup is in the normal place on the bottom right of the screen. Click on it and then find the language tab -
[Android General] black710:
Help help help!!!!!!!

I'm afraid it may be too late. I went ahead and installed devmonkey's Next8P_OEM.7z file from his post on March 24th from this link

I turned the power off of the device (nextbook 8PSE) then followed the Instructions_Firmware_Update.txt file. I selected all the boxes on the flash tab of the RK29update.exe app then hit the EraseIDB button and waited for that to complete and once it finished I selected Run and got an error saying there was no backup img found. I searched in the image folder and there wasn't a backup img to select so I unchecked that box on the Flash tab of the RK29update.exe and then hit Run and it seemed to work until the device never rebooted and now the device won't power on and the computer doesn't recognize it as an RK29 device and I tried reinstalling the drivers but it didn't work.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Android General] roybales:
OK

Mine is a 8P not SE.

I also did not check the top or bottom boxes - left them the way they cam up. I also did not Erase, just did the load.

Look on this site for SE stuff, I think I saw somethng on it

Step 5: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine.
