Sadly only RO like the rest... as far as i know there is no proven method to gain on the fly write access.
Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?

Sorry I didn't explain well enough. Maps and Google framework have to be installed with the rom for currents to install. If you try to install currents currently it fails.

Flashed the latest rom and was ableto get current s to run! Thanks for that ! The one thing I am see ing thogh is Google framework keeps wanting to force close every half hour or so. With that it seems auto sync is not syncing (Gmail). Any one else seeing this? Any one flashed a rom this the wpa-suplicant file changed so we can connect to ad hockey WiFi networks?

Figured out the sync problem was just a WiFi power setting . Set it to not turn off when the screen goes off and it seems to be working perfect now . Tether is the only thing missing now .and I'm sure that will be solved soon . Thanks for all the work .

The ability to connected to phone tether works on any tether app (including official built into android) app that uses access point mode (Tested and working when connected to my ICS powered nexus s tether).
If i knew what was needed to enable/test adhoc mode i could look into adding it.
Also i really should look into updating the build.prop to have more cleaner names LOL (eg Nextbook Premium 7 instead of NXM726HN).

ro.product.model or Ro.Product.name look like the ones that would need changed in Build Prop i like Next7p.(That's whats on the back as Model NO. but its your rom so you do what you like.)
Here is the link to the instruction on how to make this work on a "rooted' tab. http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/
Here are the instructions as well.
For those of you who want to connect/tether your Android tablet to your Adhoc Wifi such as your smartphone, you can do it by enabling Adhoc on your tablet device.
In this example, I will use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 but should work on any Android tablet device.
Step 1. Download adhoctablets.zip and unzip to the root folder of your hard disk such as c:\adhoctablets.
Step 2. Put your Android tablet into USB Debugging Mode by going to Settings->Applications->Development.
Step 3. Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search for Windows or open up a shell in Linux or Mac.
Step 4. Browse to the directory you unzipped adhoctablets.zip. For Windows, type:
cd \adhoctablets
Then type this to enter shell:
adb shell
For Linux:
adb-linux shell
For Mac:
adb-mac shell
Then type:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.original
cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/.
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
exit
Reboot your tablet and you should now be able to connect to Adhoc wireless devices.
If something goes wrong, you can get back into adb shell and type the following to revert:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.original /system/bin/.
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
exit
Hey....nice rom man, thanks alot! if you want to get adhoc working you will need to add/modify wpa_supplicant. i tether with a hot spot so no problems but i used to tether with ad hoc on my a100. thanks again!
but no one has made a rom for the np7 that is writable... so it wont work

There was some experimental write support by the creator of the unpacking/packing tool but its either hacky (earlier one) or risky (newest one).
In theroy if the adhoc stuff is integrated at rom level it should work.

So All in All, With help from Finless Bob! (Great guy!) I figured out what the issue was I was having. Finless Is also going to be creating a Rom for this tablet. Both Finless's Rooted Rom and Mine will have to be flashed the same way! Stay Tuned for an update.
But here is just a taste.
891MB of internal storage free with all apps that are currently loaded in the Cramfs version of the Rom. Fully RW System. Stay Tuned!

I know of the ext3 method it is using... wendel (creator of the tool that was used to make all the custom roms for this device) posted it up on slatedroid a while back but no tool to automate it. Early results were hit and miss but im sure its been stabilzed.
It consists of 3 tasks:
1. Flashing ext3 enabled bootloader (usually handled by the upadate image)
2. Modifying the ramdisk in boot.img to mount system as ext3 (handled by rom maker)
3. Converting system.img to ext3 (handled by rom maker)
That being said 1 is a unknown risk and 2 & 3 due to my distance from linux for years are not really easy but im getting a friend to help.
Thats all for now

New Rom: 2.2 V2.5 #4325
Kernal [email protected] #26
The U0 "u-boot-nand.bin" in the archive "4325" is U-Boot 2009.08-svn733 (Jun 29 2011 - 14:11:58).
Downloads thanks to kiodo1981
as we know Mega is dead..
and at the moment it looks like fileserver is going the same way..
File name: 4325.zip File size: 212.15 MB
This link is working as of 9/02/2012 - leave a post if you cant get it..

I suggest you load barsuk_CWMRecovery first, its down in the 2nd post..and do the usual wipes that you should do before flashing a rom..
Just a quick note, hopefully will save others some time too..
I think if you just went ahead and flashed the zip from the sdcard..
and now got 'android' loading with blinking cursor and no further..
For the hell of it, I did the same and got the same result..
The download is not a flash-able zip straight from the sdcard..
read further down for instructions
Then I went ahead and used the USB method..
[GUIDE] :: SuperPad/FlyTouch2/WWE10 Android 2.2 Froyo USB Flashing ::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
No drama.. flashed and working fine.. just no camera at the moment.. I might play with some of the uboot's to see if it makes a difference.. but for now if you want your pad back.. I suggest go the USB route..
if you need a cable.. I use the same cable that comes with the usb cooling fans,
that power the cooling boards that people use under laptops.. Make sure you load the drivers or your computer will not recognize the pad.
Follow SmaRkieS thread and you should be fine..
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method.
You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the right uboot versions under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
@dyfren What does file zSYS.img?
I would say this is recovery.. I flashed it into this section..
hope this helps..
Will play over the weekend with it..
but at this stage running real smooth..

i had a go following the guide and it was fine until i got to flashing the actual Android image, (number 19 in the Guide). PC does its bit, then tablet comes up with "flashing/updating linux" (first bit tablet does) or something like that but the progress bar always stays empty, left it for 10-15 mins and still hadnt moved. tried the version in the guide and the version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067746
also tried SD card method, comes up with "Updating image hRamdisk" and a dead progress bar.
Which version of Android did you use at step 19?
Thanks for your help so far, seems to be getting there

mine is Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587)

as IUW can be a bit painful..
anybody test this FW ? i wanna try that new 4325 .

Working root using universal androot 1.6.2beta5
@hunterx: 4325 is working very fast. IT won't shutdown when in standby but drains battery faster.
Someone can explain how to modify the firmware to support the 3G _Barsuk_ as he had done?
Thanks for the new ROM, just installed USB method, works fine.
Generaly looks very "snappy" for a Pad with only 256mb of RAM.
Camera "force closes"; Youtube works fine, and Wifi also.
I'll keep posting as long as i play with it.
Sheers
anyone got USB1 or USB2 readable?
when I plug them in I am getting "preparing memory device" then "memory device ready for remove"
To me, this is saying that it see's it.. but for some reason is calling to unmount it straight away..
I would say it is fixable as we had a similar problem on other Roms.. its just setting up the right command..
I have loaded a mix of drivers in to the system/lib/modules...but no success..
Then tried to use terminal but not getting access in to the root..
I kinda need to learn a few more commands in terminal..
(Back to DOS days..)
is there a cheat sheet around for the basic commands?
was playing with the aps2sd.. got the sdcard formatted with a sd2ext
But its a no go at the moment.. as even with TB backup
This Rom is not mounting into it..
As said before, I can't even get script manager to load up so can't load V6 scripts..
Maybe someone will have better luck then me..

question about the flash
Last time I flashed is a while ago so dont know if im doing things right.
So ive got a few questions before I will flash
On startup my pad shows 0.6.1.2. (587) at the right bottom
So can I skip the uboot part of the SMarkies guide?
The folder of 4325 contains more files than mentioned in the guide if i'm correct I only have to use : Kernal, user, system and ramdisk? Please confirm?
Do i have to use ramdisk in 4325 folder or the one mentioned in the Smarkies guide?
Your advice please have to use my pad on christmastrip for my kids so I cant risk to brick it
It's not a problem with this Rom, I also faced the same with previous versions and stock Rom, any of you guys face accelerometer axels inverted when playing games like Raging Thunder or Labyrinth? When bending down turns right and bending up turns left.
Strange, it happens with all games and still can’t find a solution.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Try this patched lib.
View attachment libreference_ril.Universal.zip
Is new solution for 3g. It is much easier. Who want may create update.zip for CWM.
Just replace original lib and set permissions to 644 (owner root).
EDIT
Some patched binaries and libs: View attachment patched_binaries.zip
Include wpa_supplicant with ad-hoc (not tested), vold with ntfs support (need to load kernel module first), ril libs with disabled check for modem model (for gsm only, not for cdma).

Flash all the files as per no:18 of the guide.. but use the ramdisk that comes with this package - dont use sMarkies at this stage - I flashed it to see if any difference but it only was for reading of the USBports.. the one with this package is stable enough

If you follow the guide, you should be right.
as usually people only brick on the U-boot flashing.
just take your time.

best rom so far 4325
I am posting from this right now.
problems:
Wifi not starting on boot
Rotation/accelo messed up. Calibration makes it worse
Cell standby - fixed by renaming phone.apk
Market included but is missing skype and others
Camera working with 612 587 uboot
Anyone have advice on overclocking?
Thanks for the rom it is bad-ass.
I have working on a project in the form of an app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have I have yet to get much testing on this device and would like more feedback from users!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

ubuntu.sh(V5)
Full Image
This image is 1.5GB to download, once extracted 3.5GB, and include alot of programs like openoffice, thunderbird, firefox and over programs for 'developing' - Also allows you to switch between the LXDE and Gnome desktops, and you can define screen size on boot!
ubuntuV5-image.zip
Lightweight Image - This is yet to be included in an app, will be included in the next release (aka 2.0 ), so get it now before anyone else!
This image is just under 500MB to download, once extracted 2.5GB, and include only programs needed (LXDE desktop, web browser, + other basic programs) also allows you to define screen size on boot
ubuntuV5-sm-image.zip
12.04 images
I have now started work on building new 12.04 images these come in core (just the bear-bones ubuntu) and full (ubuntu with GUI and other programs) and will be updated as 12.04 moves through its milestones (and when I make new updates to the mods I make from the main stream arm port).
These are for testing ONLY until 12.04 reaches stable release.
You can view the images here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/12.04/
I also want to build up a small group of testers who I can email with new images and scripts, these will include all future distros that I do. If you are interested in joining this test group please PM me or send a email to [email protected]
The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

Indeed its VERY odd that stock works but custom roms do not work...should really be the other way round, perhaps something to do with how the device file system in custom roms is different or something?
I don't know, this is the problem trying to support as many devices as possible, I don't have the device to test and work out what's wrong, just got to keep basically stabbing into the dark until I hit something
Change log for new release (release will be in the next few days for paid end of next week for free) - all new images etc will be added to the first post as they are finished and uploaded!
*PAID app now supports 960x540 'qHD' resolution

Place them in a folder called ubuntu on either your sdcard or internal memory as you have both either should work
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thanks, by pressing ahead without knowing I put the files there, however, in terminal emulator, after aquiring superuser persmissions, changing to the ubuntu folder wont work. I must be doing something wrong. I came as far as cd /sdcard but /sdcard/ubuntu fails. Asking ls -a says dir is empty ? Linux noob

check in a file explorer where the sdcard is mounted, sometimes the internal memory is mounted as the sdcard directory and then the sdcard itself is mounted in another directory within that.
Once you work out where its mounted then just cd to that location

which Kernel/Rom?
Hi
Before run ubuntu.sh check if loop inst bussy with other kind of programs who use it.
try losetup will show you how many loop you have used and edit ubuntu.sh to get 1 free
like last 1 user will be 10 then line with busybox mknod /dev/loop11 b 7 11
and wher you see loop0 change to loop11 or any free number.
Hope will works for you.

Hi,
Nice work but you forgot something.
Your image wont work on many device since the /sdcard partition if VFAT who limit the file to 2G.
converting /sdcard to ext2 or ext4 is the way to work with files larger than 2G.

Thank you very much I will integrate these changes in the next version of the script
you can also change de fstab line where root partition is mount by uuid and replace by name
losetup returns nothing...
I also asked the dev of FM kernel and he told me that it has loop capabilities
if losetup show nothing then or you dont have loop set or you not root.
for see if you r root type id and the have to show your id. If is not root type su -
For the no loop set then the original ubuntu.sh have to work.
Runs perfectly on my Note
Had rooted it yesterday with CFRootFlasher
Kernel is "KK9" (Android 2.3.6)
Tested the V3 800 first, and now running with the V4 1280 image
Btw I´m an Android noob, came from Ios 2 weeks ago, so i dont really know what is important for you to know. But if you want to know something, just ask

Yeah, it really is. I must say that this is the best ROM so far. I do have one major issue where I cannot select an APN and therefore have no 3G / 2G connection. Needless to say, this is a huge issue which may render the ROM to be unusable for me... Let me know what you guys experience if there's still some people willing to install new ROMs on their device
Do you mean there is no way to set the APN? I'm seriously considering flashing this ROM, but this APN issue that you mentioned is holding me back...

When you make sure you create a backup you can check and always restore the backup. The APN issue might also be related to my carrier or SIM card.
Please note that I definitely had to format /data (ie. factory defaults) because it will not work with the data of another rom. Also make sure to make an extra backup of your backup onto your system, just to be sure - in my case it has created corrupt files many times (ie. 0 kb)...
Good luck!

Hi all,
I checked today and the external SD is available, but not under /mnt/external_sd but under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. Not sure why it is in a subfolder, but see below some screenprints to demonstrate this. If anyone knows how to solve something like this, let me know
Regards,
Nika.
Well, that was easy, changed the vold.fstab and build.prop files and zipped it. Works fine when installed using cwm recovery. /mnt/external_sd is now the correct external sdcard
You can download the new version here:
http://www.multiupload.at/8WAHWX3L4S
While searching for a solution to fix my APN problem, I also changed the default language into English. APN is still an issue, so if someone knows what can cause APNs not to list in MIUI ROMs I'd love to know
Here's the download for the English version of this ROM (including the external storage fix ):
http://www.mediafire.com/?npdyofr2uhn3but
Be interesting to see if this will flash to my device, seeing as none of the other custom ROMs have ever done so...
EDIT: Well, it installed OK and runs, but like you, I have no APN's and setting them up manually doesn't seem to work. Also, a fair number of FC's, especially when trying to search networks...

I've not had any FC's - did you Factory Reset / wipe cache etc?
For APN, I'll see whether I have time to test this week. My device is getting buggier by the day, sdcard is not working anymore and has random reboots, so I may need to take it apart again. sdcard is quite a problem as that is impossible to reach without spare-parts did you see the "take device apart" device on the russian forum? quite cool

I needed internet, so for now, I've flashed back to my previous ROM. TBH, I'm not a fan of MIUI, but at least the bloody thing installed!
Oh, what I wouldn't give for ICS or better, JB, on our Smarts....
Yeah ICS would totally rock on the Smart ! too bad Vache broke his, he only needed to fix 3G on CM9. Well "only" may not be the word. Thepasto is using Vache's source to get CM9 on the Liquid MT and they weren't able to get 3G working so far.

Agree, but I must say, that MIUI build is half not as bad as I expected! It really is good, definitely better than stock (other than the APNs not working for some SIMs - note the Russians do not seem to have any issue with it)...

Hi all,
Anyone interested in TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP)? I've build an initial test version:

Hi KR,
It can be done from both terminal on the phone or PC. Did you root your device? You should be doing to following when doing it on the PC (easiest):
1. Root your device, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17569226
2. With rooting you also install drivers for adb, so that's ok
3. Connect your device with USB
4. Open a Command Prompt
5. Run "adb shell" (adb.exe is also available in the files for the recovery)
5. Type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
cat /proc/emmc
ls -lR /dev/block | busybox egrep -i "rec|sos"
After each command you can copy/paste the results. Wrap the results between CODE tags when pasting it here or use stuff like http://pastebin.com/ and return the results
Thanks!
Regards,
Nika.

Root Transmission: the ONLY app that allows you to root other phones straight from your own device!
Inspired by Kos's p2p-adb hacking toolkit (http://hak5.org/episodes/hak5-1205), this app is a pleasant, easy way to root other phones while away from your computer! Just two buttons, Root and Unroot! Connect the cable and root away! It couldn't be simpler!
Even has its own terminal window so you can see exactly what's going on while your phone does its thing!
You will need a ROOTED device capable of USB hosting (USB On The Go), a USB OTG cable and one-click root scripts for the devices you wish to root.
Scripts and their associated files should be placed in /sdcard/RootTransmission/*devicename*/*version*/, otherwise it will not be available for use. *devicename* and *version* can be whatever you want.
Note that this is an UNSTABLE version, and you use this app at your own risk. Occasional force closes are to be expected (though they will most likely not break the phone you are trying to root). Incorrectly written scripts can permanently damage or brick both devices involved, so only use trusted 3rd party root scripts and at your own risk.

I've attached a zip with the files needed to root a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535), extract it to /sdcard/RootTransmission/ to use.
Note that since I only have one USB host-capable device (my own S3), no warranty is provided over the functionality of this zip since I am unable to fully test it. (It is a repackaged version of the DebugFS one-click root found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883984 and thus will only work if the device to be rooted is running ICS, which shouldn't be a problem as of yet.)
Again, this is an unstable test version. It should mostly work, but no guarantees on its functionality.

In order to run the app, your device (the device that is already rooted) must support USB hosting/USB OTG. Most newer devices have this.
This app uses adb and scripts (which you must provide) to root devices. If there is a root method for the device that uses adb, then it will work.
In the case of the Verizon Galaxy S3 (my primary device), the root method for a stock ROM is to use adb to push an exploit that will allow us to install Superuser and the su binary. I believe the Asus Transformer Prime uses a similar method.
If the only root method available involves using a program such as Odin/Heimdall or a manufacturer's phone flashing utility, or a zip must be flashed in recovery in order to gain root, it will definitely not work. In the case of the HTC Sensation, you must flash a recovery and boot into it, then flash a zip containing the su binary as well as a controller app such as Superuser in order to gain root. So the HTC Sensation could NOT be rooted with this.
In the future I plan on building a compatibility chart within the app to determine which phones can run this app and which phones can be rooted with it, as well as downloads for the rooting process. In the meantime, if there is a phone you are looking to root with this, let me know and if possible, I'll craft a zip to use with this.
Updated Root Transmission to 1.01unstable.
Following changes were made:
-bugfix: app occasionally FC'd when closing app
-bugfix: app crashed if scripts directory did not exist
-smaller size (166k, old version was 1.62mb)
-made it available only for 4.0 and up (had it set to 3.1 and up by accident)
Available in first post or in the Play Store.
Keep sending in those bug reports, it really helps!
Also, if you have any new features you want to suggest, let me know.
I'm considering the following so far:
-Downloading scripts in-app
-Nicer GUI
-Help text
Added script for the Asus Transformer tablets (TF101/TF201/TF300T/TF700T) to the first post. It will only root tablets on 4.0 or below.
This app looks promising, keep it up this great work, :fingers-crossed:
Theoretically could this run any script over adb on another device. not just a root one?
one x
Hey does this work with the one x international version?
I believe that in order for the app to work properly, adb must be running as root, so no. It's not possible to use this with a non rooted phone.
HTC One X should be able to be rooted (as well as other devices relying on fastboot), but I haven't added support for it yet. A fastboot binary for ARM is available, so I'll package that into the app for next release. Stay tuned. However, I don't know about unlocked bootloaders and all that on HTC devices, so beware.
I'm also going to take a look at the Heimdall source code later so that you can perform Odin flashes over USB. This means that basically any Samsung phone should be able to be rooted, even without a one click root script.
All this stuff will take time though, and with school still going on it might take some time. But I'm definitely working on it!

Would it be possible to use this app to flash unsecured boot.img and then recoveries? Basically have it set up to download the recoveries and boot.img from a ftp or something? Can we basically just use the host phone as a standard ADB and Fastboot commander? Using regular commands?
root tranmission
i download the file, and recive the next error while unstalling:

there is a problem parsing the package
there´s any fix?
thanks in advance

This is on my to-do list. I might also include a terminal emulator with access to the app's adb/fastboot binaries.

That would be awesome, let me know if you need some help testing. I've been wanting to be able to do this for awhile. It would pretty much eliminate the need for a computer when flashing roms on devices that have their bootloader already unlocked.

Wow, the idea behind your software is brillant!

Hey there wchill , seems like you are an app dev rookie as I seen some stuff , well you aren't so different from me , PM me , I will help you in your project , btw I have seen a small thing , that the Settings button does nothing , to remove it remove in your mainActivity the lines that say onCreateOptionsMenu , as long as you don't need an options menu !
EDIT : No offence for calling you a rookie , I may have underestimated you , because your work is amazing , but I was talking the Java side of your knowledge , sorry if I offended you !

I know that the options menu is there, but I'm planning on adding to its functionality so there's no point in removing it yet. Don't worry, I didn't forget about it
Also, I only have one year of experience in Java, so my skills definitely are not the most top notch out there. I'd say not bad for being self taught though.
Anyway, in app downloads should be working by this weekend, depending on how much homework I get this week. Did a lot of it today, just need to make the frontend for it. After that I'll work on improving the GUI, because I really couldn't be bothered to spend more than 5 minutes making it what it looks like right now.
Expect an update in the next few days

Working good on yf0312
Thanks a lot, just to let you and anyone interested that this rom works perfectly on my father's nextbook with serial starting with YF0312.
I had nothing to change it installed just fine with no issues !

Hi I was playing with my fathers tablet, he did not leave a sdcard with it, I see there is a 1.17G internal storage but I see no way to use it.
Camera and other apps ask to insert a sdcard intead of using this space.
Is there a way to use it instead of a sdcard ?

The reason is most users use a card... flash the attached boot_internal.img as replacement to the boot.img that the kit came with and you will be able to use it.
No sd card

Is there anythin else than flashin the boot_internal.img ?
I flashed it and the camerra and gallery still ask to use a sd card to work.
It's not a big deal I shall get a cheap sd card soon I just wanted to try it more deeply.
btw... do you know if Angry Birds can run on these ? I tried it and it brings a black screen and returns to the desktop without any error messages,
in the logcat it says something about not being able to compile vertex shaders in gles2. I was wondering if it's a gpu support issue or if it could be related to the fact I dont have a sdcard right now.
In anyways THANKS a lot.

Hi, I was wondering since the bigest issue of this device if (for those not stuck in my situation "no sd card") could use the internal storage space as a swap space ?
I did notice using a terminal emulator that there is no "swapon" and "free" command.
just my toughts.
Hi kibmcz, thanks for making this rom, I'm looking forward to using it. My only issue is that your link to the recovery rom/files (n7p12_rescue_kit.zip) seems to be broken.
Any chance you could fix the link or tell me how to make my own?
Also, any idea if Netflix works with this custom rom on this tablet? On the stock rom I get sound playing but no picture, just a black screen. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Apologies for the double post.
Today I tried installing this rom but I can't get it to work. My problem seems to be that I cannot get the drivers installed. I have tried this on 3 different computers, all running Windows7, two are 64bit and one is 32bit. I held down the volume buttons and windows recognizes a new device, it then searches for drivers on Windows Update. It says it does not find any and that's it, it never asks me to give it the drivers. So on all 3 computers I tried going into device manager, right clicking the device, and choosing "Update Driver Software...", then I pick the appropriate folder (drivers/32bit or 64bit/win7) but it always just says that "Windows could not find driver software for your device".
In device manager sometimes it shows up as "Unknown Device" and sometimes it shows up as "M3-CHIP".
My nextbook's model number is NEXT7P12, The serial number is: YFG101212356.
Any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks.
question
about how long do you have to keep pushing the volume buttons? also do we need to have usb debugging checked marked?
thanks

Once windows detects new device that needs driver you let go.. also the usb debugging is useless due to the oddball usb host mode implementation.
Any other ideas at all on how to install firmware on this/get windows to recognize the drivers? I have tried this every way I can possibly think of. Do I just have a dud tablet?
It keeps getting stuck in M3-Chip mode (that's what it shows up as in device manager, this isn't what it is supposed to show up as after holding the volume buttons is it?)
Thanks.

I have the same issue, my SN also starts with YFG10, it's the 4gb model with google play. Our version of the tablet has a different processor, the AML8726-M3 Cortex A9. Per my research, this is an RK3066 chip, so the drivers needed are RK30, along with the RK30update.exe I have downloaded these files elsewhere, and manually installed the RK30 driver, but it still seems not to be recognized.

This will not work on that model and its not adviseable to even try to make it work since the google play models may use different layouts and as you already found out are based on different chip.
You have to use the M3-CHIP driver. I attached the complete AML_Flash tool with all the files (inside you will find the drivers of M3-CHIP)
I hope this let us begin development for AML8726-M3 base tablets!!

driver issue
i am also having a driver install issue windows 7 64 bit shows in device manager but will not install rock usb drivers....any way around this?
ive tried on a second pc and had the same results. windows cant install the usb drivers
SOLVE.. Thank you so much for this tool..great job
kibmcz, thank you very much for making this rom. for the flashing, I followed your instructions and there was no problem on nextbook 7 se with a serial number starting with yf0912. everyting is fine.
but some point, i got into play store and found that i could not install some app that it can run on other andriod tablet such as babel rising cataclysm. when i tried to install it by calling the app via web browser and selected play store, always show me "your device isn't compatible with this version" (another apps that i usually use it on my family tablet is banking, same and connot install on nextbook 7 se).
I tried to get the answer from the internet this problem is from the hardware or some configuration on my tablet but get nothing.
you have an idea about this? kindly advise me.

This is for the rk2918 based model it won't work on the rk3066 models and even more so it could risk bricking them.
Note: There is no stock roms out for the rk3066 based nextbook tablets so a bad flash will leave you without device.

kibmcz, I've been thru this whole thread and I can see that people are having problems with the RK30 chip, but from what i can tell what narongritl has said, he either has figured it out or got lucky, which I was hoping to get more details out of. We both have units that have similar serial numbers YF0912XXXXX. So I was hoping our units were the same.
