Ok, just bricked my Nextbook 7
Here is how I flashed a firmware without access to recovery:
If you are in a bootloop, Connect USB and Power.
Press and hold pin on back until you hear windows try to detect a device but the screen is off.
Download this: http://arctablet.com/assets/tools/Firmware/Rockchip_CPU_based/Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.4.zip
Install the driver from the drivers folder.
3. Installing the drivers on the computer
Following the tablet entering in recovery mode, the computer should now show it has found a new USB device and prompt for a device driver. Select the appropriate driver in the driver directory from the Rockchip Flash Tool 1.4 package.
It will then install the driver for RK29 Device
4. Sending the firmware to the tablet
The flashing tool should display a green square around the number 1 in the lower left area of the Windows application.
Select the firmware file to flash using the button in the top right area of the application. Select the update.img file from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/NQHSNZJSO2
Then push the Upgrade button to transfer the selected firmware to the tablet.
The firmware will be copied to the tablet, a progression counter will go from 0% to 100% on this step, followed by a verification.
You are done, let the tablet reboot and update itself. It should take a few minutes for the flash process to finish.
This procedure has been successfully tested on Windows XP 32 bits for flashing a bricked NextBook 7 Premium YF1011 (but should work on others)
Hi, the multiupload link seems down, would it be possible to re-up? thanks!
And how exactly are you supposed to install the drivers from the driver folder? Because those are not Runable files, theyre drivers, with no install command. So, my daughters nextbook is bricked, wont install drivers(says not successfully installed after i plug it in) and there is no way to install the drivers from the batch file. Anything you left out??? Id like to unbrick this thing. Thanks..
SOLVED
I found out how to install the drivers on windows 7!
Follow this:
click the start button > type in the search box right above the start button "device manager"
(make sure the tablet is plugged in and in USB MODE)
right click the tablet or unknown device
select install/update driver manually
browse for the driver in the download folder then it should be updated
worked for me.
Nextbook 8 stuck in bootloop
I am a noob. My Nextbook 8 is stuck in bootloop, the last app i downloaded was firefox. Ive read that this can be fixed by starting safe mode and doing a factory reset, how do i do this?!? Im desperate, and would greatly appreciate any help that works, thanks.
I have been round all these forums X-times, have had well-meaning and helpful replies but no solutions. (Thank you Animatechnica). To recap:
My Galaxy Tab forgets all settings changes, uninstalls, and any newly installed files on reboot.
This means I cannot apply USB debugging before going into downloading mode and adb will not work FROM DOWNLOADING MODE.
(When I apply USB debugging on the tablet once booted and using MS cmd moad, and then launch adb, it DOES return a device number, but this does not work in download mode, when the USB debugging setting has been forgotten on reboot)
I have tried :
- Soft reset
- Factory reset through "settings", and also with power and volume buttons
(The latter gives me an error and the comment : "Can't access to /system/CSC/XEU/System"
- Tried using Odin and re-flashing the Pit file with re-partition checked
- Tried using Odin and re-flashing all the correct files to get back to stock
All to no avail.
Please, Please someone who has seen this problem and found a solution, follow up:
please don't recommend a solution which involves a reboot :IT DON'T WORK!!!!
Finally: probably a noob question: is it possible to apply USB debugging in adb to get some communication going?

How exactly did you try to flash it with Heimdall? In his [KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3.1] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [1/14/2012] thread he has instructions on how to flash the kernel via Heimdall & the command prompt. I have not tried it with this kernel yet, so I'm not 100% that's what you're looking for.
thanks for the kind concern and sorry for the late reply.my problem is that i installed the drivers in heimdall as given in post and then i put my phone my phone to download mode and then when connected to pc heimdall says no device compatible download mode detected i tried reinstalling the drivers,installing kies,restarting laptop and nothing worked for me please help
I just tried this and it works fine. Win7 64bit
I'll post my steps in a minute.
======================================
Install Heimdall - C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32
Unzip “kernel-sms-kj6-v0.2.0-bml”
Copy "zImage" from \kernel-sms-kj6-v0.2.0-bml\kernel_flasher to C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32
Put phone in download mode
Install driver “zadig” at “C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32\Drivers”
Option list all devices – select Samsung and install driver
Open Command prompt “Run as administrator”
cd C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --recovery zImage
Phone boots with new kernel
so you say you have to copy the zimage file in heimdall suite folder itself?
when i load the file into heimdall firmware package or pit file i get either "tar header contained invalid file size" or "invalid pit file" error message
and also i am sure i installed drivers for my phone in heimdall as stated in the post
but still heimdall is not detecting my phone it says "failed to detect compatible download mode device"
please help me if you know anything abt this
thanks for the reply
Attached are two jpgs, first is device with Hiemdall driver (libusb) and the second is with Samsung driver in device manager screen. To change driver just un-install the device in device manager and then let computer scan for hardware changes, this will get you back to Samsung driver. You must use Heimdall to install driver for libusb. Hope this helps... Are you trying to use the Heimdall frontend? I'm not using frontend just command mode, try it...
actually i used frontend first i found it not detecting my phone and so i used heimdall cmd no luck there too
i tried uninstalling samsung usb drivers from the system and installed it again
today morning i found a samsung composite usb device option list(which i was not getting it before)
so the changes i made is changed the compatibility to windows xp and tried it worked fine but still its not detecting help me please please
this is what it looks like after i install heimdall driver
when i go to cmd go to heimdall and flash kernel image it says device not detected
From off
I press both up volume and down volume together
then connect the usb cable to my phone ("Warning!!" screen displayed)
then press the up volume to get download mode ("Downloading" screen displayed)
I enter at the command prompt: heimdall detect
the system returns: device detected
If heimdall is connecting ok then open the command window in the same folder you have the zImage in.
then at command prompt type: heimdall flash --kernel zImage (hit enter)
it will flash the zImage and reboot.. Done.

Stop racing and smell the roses. The OP has a problem where heimdall does not see his device. Have you seen this type of error? Read the entire thread, maybe. Thanks for the help and look out for that tree!
i hope changing the os to windows xp will help i installed drivers for heimdall as instructed in the forum i followed every step suggested by some other devs but still no luck i dont know wt to do now
You can wait for them to finish CM7. You can make sure you are using the correct Heimdall Suite for your computer. You can look at Juls guide in the general section for additional help with Heimdall.
i will tell wt i did frm the begining
first i already had samsung galaxy s usb drivers installed in my windows 7 with which i used to odin roms into my phone then
and downloaded heimdall 1.3.2(binaries it says) for windows and i changed compatibility of zadig to windows xp and ran as an administrator
now i put my phone in download mode and connected to pc while on zadig
i found samsung composite usb device in the list i selected that & installed drivers (wtever was selected by default) then i disconnected my phone and restarted once and then put it to download mode again
this time i opened heimdall-frontend and in utilities i clicked detect
it said "failed to detect compatible download mode device"
i copied zimage file from bhundven's kernel to heimdall folder
now if i load heimdall firmware package and select zimage file i get an error saying "tar header contained invalid file size"
if i load flash pit file and select zimage file it says "invalid pit file"
so i tried this command in heimdall cmd
"heimdall flash --kernel zImage"
it said device not detected
i dont know wt to do please get me out of this situation and thanks for taking concern and replying me regularly

If you still have the Samsung USB drivers installed, then I suggest uninstalling them. They don't seem to get along with the Heimdall drivers.
Next, put your phone in download mode & plug it into a USB port on the computer.
Run Zadig again. Try to reinstall the drivers from there if you can.
Run the Heimdall front end. See if it recognizes your phone now. If so, you should be able to open a command prompt and run the command:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --recovery zImage
Let us know if it works.
as i stated earlier that i am gonna use windows xp for doing this i shifted to my pc which has windows xp in it.i followed all the instructions and it worked pretty fine in that now i am able to install cm7 but i dont know wt has happened to windows 7 as it dint allow me to properly work with it
anyways thanks to all of you guys for supporting me and for spending your time for me
i defenitely owe you guys thanks a lot
nothing works

Hello all.
Heimdall won't recognize my phone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled USB drivers through Add/Remove programs. I've uninstalled the Samsung Composite Drivers through Device Manager and when I put the phone in Download Mode it reinstalled the drivers, but Heimdall still doesn't recognize my phone.
Odin recognizes my phone right away.
I've read that Odin and Heimdall don't play very well together. How do I properly uninstall the USB drivers to clear the "reservation" by Odin so Heimdall could recognize my phone.
I plugged my phone on my wife's computer and Heimdall recognized it even without USB drivers installed!! So I was able to flash Heimdall on my wife's computer.... So obviously it's an Odin/Heimdall conflict problem.
Help plz thank you
un-install Odin or the likes exist
use CCleaner to clean: Cleaner and Registry
reboot computer
re-install driver
reboot computer
Heimdall
Odin was just in the folder, I don't recall ever installing it, it's just an executable file that I ran. All the other steps I have done.
I have downloaded the relevant drivers and the unrooted device is recognized by Samsung Kies and various driver managers say that the drivers are up to date..
I have downloaded Odin 3.09 and unzipped it to a folder on the desktop. The folder contains Odin and and ini file.
I have downloaded what I believe to be the relevant tar.md5 file, called CF-Auto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt8--.tar.md5, unzipped it and placed it in the Odin folder on the desktop.
I then run Odin and check that only the Auto-reboot and F.rest-Time are checked.
Using guidance found on this website I have pressed volume-down, home and power buttons and reached a screen showing several options none of which clearly states download-mode.
The instructions found here said press volume-down and then power.
This has taken me to a screen showing:
# Manual Mode #
-- Applying Multi-CSC.....
Applied the CSC code : XAR
Successfully applied the multi-CSC.
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>....
When I connect the T800 to the laptop nothing happens!!!
