We need a bit more information from you. Which android version are you using? What exactly did you type in adb shell and what exactly was the answer from the shell?
[General Questions and Answers] haircut313:
Thanks for the reply I rooted it with vroot program from the link someone posted in fourms but now I stupidly screwed up an got stuck in a boot loop after installing chanfire3d
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Can't you boot into the recovery and execute a factory reset?
[General Questions and Answers] haircut313:
Yes I factory reset it an is still the same
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
The factory reset doesn't restore the system partition on android 4.2.2. So you have to boot into the recovery and use adb shell to restore the system partition to the original state if you know what was altered by chainfire3d. Alternatively you could install the Android 4.2.2 update via recovery again: http://yadi.sk/d/igsBGsAjFpLsL (european version). Maybe this also works.
[General Questions and Answers] haircut313:
Okay I'll try that
[General Questions and Answers] haircut313:
Tried to update via recovery using adb sideload I tried to make adb shell can communicate with device my typing adb devices but it cant find device
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
But adb shell has worked before? Did you connect to a running android in debug mode? I don't know if adb works with stock recovery 4.2.2. But installing the update I have linked above should work without adb if renamed to update.zip on the sd-card.
[General Questions and Answers] haircut313:
Thanks the install from sd card worked ill make ill be more careful next time

I strongly recommend installing CWM recovery! Especially for those who want to make changes to the system like you. ;)

With CWM recovery you can easily make a full system backup and restore it anytime you want.

[General Questions and Answers] Xyqo:
Hello everyone let me first say thanks to you all for your great work on this device. I've read every word of this thread it been very insightful.

I got this tab from a family member to do with as I please so if anyone wants me to test something new or dangerous I'll be more than willing to help.

With that said I did get a ROM for the ainol hero to flash to this tab but it got stuck at the cynogenmod boot animation (just kept spinning).

I think there will have to be some work done to the kernel (as was mentioned previously in this thread) n
[General Questions and Answers] Xyqo:
Hey great news guys. Got a CM 10.2 ROM working like a charm on this thing fast too puts the buggy 4.2.2 stock ROM to shame.

Does have a few issues but its a great start.

Follow the steps on this thread except step 1 if you already have fipsy's excellent CWM 6.0.3.3

All credit goes to the people who made this possible with their hard work like Christian Troy

[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Normally the whole tablet is much slower with 4.2.2 than with 4.1.1. I'm wondering if you didn't have this problem. This was the reason for me to downgrade to 4.1.1. It may help on 4.2.2 to execute a factory reset.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

That's a very interesting thread! But a bit too heavy in construction for those who need their tablet for all days work. :)

But I hope some day it's a real alternative to this cruel stock ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Xyqo:
So the bugs I've found in the rom so far are:

1. WiFi not working

2. Screen rotation not working
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
This is normal. You need the right drivers. The display- and WiFi-modules can be different and so you need the right kernel drivers for this special hardware. It will probably be quite difficult to get these for the HSG1279.

[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Have you checked to see the max speed of the CPU?

Has it gone from 1008Mhz upto 1200Mhz?
[General Questions and Answers] franzmueller:
How do I change that?
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
With any of the many apps on Google such as : Pimp my rom, Rom Toolbox, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Ok, managed to apply update, first impression is that the tablet "seems" faster.

Unfortunately CPU is still capped at 1008Mhz but I have not yet spent time to see if

we can clock this easily to its advertised speed of 1200Mhz.

Will come back with more as I "play" with this over a longer time.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
*laugh* I think we can't say anything about the performance before having tested it for two weeks or more. I didn't install it so far. But perhaps will test it once.

For me one of the most important things is the internal support for UMTS surfsticks because I sometimes use the tablet for navigation with a bluetooth GPS receiver. And I think UMTS support (which works like a charm with android 4.1.1) will still not be available with this new update.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Well, there is only one way of finding out...............:)

Another thing that I thought would have been in this update is the ability to clock the CPU at its advertised speed

but, alas, no such luck !! :(

Shame on you Hannspree.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
You're probably right. :cyclops:

I'm not sure if the 1200 MHz clocking on android 4.1.1 was real 1200 MHz because it only could be achieved using Antutu. Did you read the 2nd part of my posting: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50291736&postcount=328
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Yes I did and I can see how it would be questionable as to whether it was a true 1200

Mhz. or not.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
It's really strange because I tested a lot of apps that have heavy CPU usage (like games or navigation systems). None of this apps was able to clock the CPU to 1200 MHz. Only if I ran Antutu it showed up to have been running at 1200 MHz.
[General Questions and Answers] zephyro5:
Nearly the same here... An error during the update process and... no reboot! Only the green HANNspree logo...

[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
If I remember correctly, if you make a diff between fipsy's recovery and a CWM from Christian Troy, you should see only a couple of different modules (except sizes), that can give the name of the two files responsible for gsensor and wifi... But I doubt the files will be in the CM installation... Maybe trying to extract them from the stock 4.2.2, and see if they are compatible with the CM kernel...?
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Exact same happened to me, applied 20131219 update, then applied latest update and then

did full backup using CWM recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] zephyro5:
I hope you will not follow me...

I have done a full backup with CWM and apply update-FW8963-20131219E_20140218E.zip with CWM too (maybe I should not have...). Update successful but when I rebooted, CWM said me that root access was probably lost. I answered yes for repair (again maybe I should not have...) and now it doesn't boot :crying:

No HANNspree logo, no backlight... nothing!

So, do you know what I did and mostly... what could I do now?

Thanks for your help!
[General Questions and Answers] Xyqo:
I was going to try that until this morning when the screen cracked.

I really wanted to keep working on gett CM to work with this tablet but now I don't think I can :( unless anyone here knows of a way to get a replacement. The LCD is fine its the digitizer that got shattered.

Make sure your tablet is turned off. Then hold down your volume- & power button at the same time for approx 3to 4 seconds, to get into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik and restart. After that you should be up and running. I had the same issue after update and bug fix. Also make sure that you are not charging or plugged into any thing when you are in recovery or it will do wierd stuff,Good luck.

For CWM recovery I used all the modules from stock HANNspree recovery 4.2.2. Except the ones necessary for CWM that I took from the Ainol CWM recovery for Novo 10 Hero II.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

What I don't understand: He said he applied the update from 20140218 using CWM recovery. So he should know how to enter recovery and normally also should be able to get into recovery again. And I don't think that this update replaces the recovery partition with stock recovery as the update from 20131219 does. And I don't understand why CWM complained about lost root access and was giving the opportunity to repair. CWM is not able to do or say anything if it wasn't started manually explicitly from the recovery partition?!
[General Questions and Answers] b0joker:
I am not sure either, but it did happen..... I have two of these tablets and only had this issue with one of them. I had it charging when doing the update and it would shut itself off instead of restarting I initially thought I killed it, then I realized it had just shutdown instead of restarting.

Sent from my HSG1279
[General Questions and Answers] zephyro5:
Yes, I confirm that I know how to use and enter the recovery mode.

The first time, when the 20140218 update failed (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50674437&postcount=362), I had a black screen with backlight on after the green HANNspree logo, so I could go into recovery mode without problem... But this time, I have nothing at all, no reaction, like the device is switch off.

Even if the update replaces the recovery partition (I don't think, there is only a misc.img file in the zip update), I should still be able to enter in stock recovery?

CWM complained about root access when I wanted to exit CWM. He says something like "root access possibly lost" and offer to fix it in /system/xbin/su. In doubt, I answered yes...

Now, I think I will try to request a RMA from HANNspree...
[General Questions and Answers] franzmueller:
I can confirm that cwm recovery asked to restore root after applying the update. I chose yes as well and it did work for me just fine. I had to update the su binary from super su though.

Hi man, have a problem, hope you can help, my stupid brother said YES to the new update and now the tablet won't boot, did a factory reset, wiped cache and reboot, then I just get the Hanspree logo and then a black screen forever.

At least CWM works but I don't have a backup of the system that I can recover, I was hoping if you can upload a recovery image of v4.1.1 to somewhere I can grab so I can fix it and redo my overclocking on it so I can show you the exact steps I did to permanently activate 1200Mhz.

Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
You now have 4.2.2 working? And he applied the update from 18th of february? This update seems to be quite buggy (at least when installing). A lot of people reported exactly the same. To resolve this problem just reinstall the update from 19th of december using CWM. Up to now this has been working for everyone having this problem. ;)

Unfortunately I don't have a basic image of 4.1.1. But ismaeloelo postet an image made with CWM recovery from HSG1279 android 4.1.1 in HTCmania. Here is the link to the file: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49379135&postcount=205

I didn't try it, but others reported it working.

---------- Post added 1st March 2014 at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was 28th February 2014 at 11:36 PM ----------

Yes! But you installed CWM recovery if I understood what you wrote?! Did you install my version or the one from Christian Troy? And now you are not able to start the device at all?! Even not into recovery mode? It constantly stays off?

This problem is commonly known on some devices. Generally this is no reason for RMA. I read normally it can be solved by frequently plugging in and out the power adapter and/or a USB charging cable. Or plugging in and out the power adapter and a USB charging cable simultaneously together. Try this for a couple of minutes and normally at some point the charging animation should appear again. Then wait another few minutes and try to turn the device on.

Ah, okay! There are different ways of rooting the device. This fix only works with some rooting methods, not with all. @franzmueller & Sparkrite: If you used SuperSU for rooting I'd recommend not to make the su-repair with CWM but download SuperSU from here and apply UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip after making the update.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
OK no big problem, just restore either of these images and you should be ok.

Here is the stock recovery image for Android 4.1.1: http://yadi.sk/d/nOvLdVftEkxap

And here the stock recovery image for Android 4.2.2: http://yadi.sk/d/p9FjxmXIFvuPD

It's not my friend. Just the programmer of the Backup-App. But this App is only able to backup - not to restore! So this won't help that much.

[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Whereas the procedure you described is just necessary for Windows 8 and above. For Windows 7 it's enough to search for your device in the device manager and install or update the drivers from where you extracted them to your hard disk. There is a warning coming up telling you that the drivers are not certified. Confirm this warning and continue installation. For me this worked absolutely perfect.

One thing I'm worried about is if we root, and change the recovery, will we still be able to do an ota update because they promised 4.2 by the end of the year. I don't know what kind of ROM development will happen with this device, so 4.2 could tweak it a bit at least.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
The recovery will not have any influence on Android Updates. But the update to Android 4.2.2 will probably restore the original revocery. So you will have to flash the custom recovery again. But until now nobody seems to have found a working recovery for our device... The main problem seems to be the very different partition layout between the Ainol- and the HANNspree Tablet. :(
