ClockworkMod Recovery

Changelog:

CWM build 5 (2013-12-02)
* corrected internal and external sdcard mount points (previously, the external sdcard was being mounted at /emmc, which is just wrong. The new mount points are /sdcard and /external_sd)
* added more partitions under "mounts and storage" (in case anyone wants to mount them or format them)

CWM build 4 (2013-11-29)
* first working build

How to install a flashable ZIP:

Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sdcard." You must be using a custom recovery for this to work (otherwise authentication will fail).

How to install a recovery image:

Copy the image file to your SD card and run the following commands via ADB or a Terminal Emulator:

su
dd if=/sdcard/name_of_recovery.img of=/dev/block/nandg
sync

You can now reboot into CWM recovery.

Return To Stock ROM

NOTE: These images are not 100% stock because they are fully rooted. If you want true stock, just replace the /system/xbin/su binary with the original, which is preserved as /system/xbin/su.original

The easy way:

I have created an flashable zip to return to stock. You can download it here: Azpen A700 Stock ROM Flashable ZIP

Just copy it to your SD card, boot into CWM, and select "install zip from sdcard." Before rebooting, select "wipe data / factory reset."

The hard way:

Alternatively, stock images for the Azpen A700 can be downloaded here. To return to stock, download the important nand images (a, b, c, d, g) and, copy them to your SD card and then run the following commands via ADB (you must be booted into CWM if you wish to flash anything other than recovery/nandg):

su
dd if=/external_sd/nanda.img of=/dev/block/nanda
dd if=/external_sd/nandb.img of=/dev/block/nandb
dd if=/external_sd/nandc.img of=/dev/block/nandc
dd if=/external_sd/nandd.img of=/dev/block/nandd
dd if=/external_sd/nandg.img of=/dev/block/nandg
sync

Before rebooting, select "wipe data / factory reset."

Unbricking via Livesuit

First, your device needs to be in FEL mode. There are a few ways to accomplish this:

You can also get into FEL mode by using a specially formatted SD card. Read about it here: http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL

The file you want to write to the SD card is here: fel-sdboot.sunxi

NOTE 1: Be sure to backup the SD card first, since the data will be gone.

NOTE 2: There is no on-screen indication that your device is in FEL mode. You can tell by plugging the device into your PC and seeing if it is recognized.

Next, flash the livesuit image from here using the Livesuit software. This will install an older version of android on your A700 (a current version image is not yet available). After you unbrick, you can return to stock jellybean 4.2.2 using the instructions found above.
