Hello.
After recent acquisition of a Hannspad tablet i decided to install ubuntu desktop on it. Starting from the basics, clockworkmod was needed to be installed. As this tables is a replica of the gtablet , following this tutorial was mandatory. viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com
After installing clockworkmod from that tutorial for the 1.2 branch, i discovered that the softbuttons from the right side were broken, only buttons working for clockworkmod were the up/down (vol+, vol-).
So another recovery.img was neeeded. NVflash for nvidia tegra 250 was downloaded. When trying to understand the program, i issued the default command residing in a batch file, in the nvflash dierctory root " nvflash.exe --bct flash.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x3c000011 --create --go " ( still wonder why i did that ).
After this, the tablet became unresponsive, except for the apx mode. Only thing working was the power button. So i downloaded the bootloader for gtablet. After loading that bootloader, the tablet will start for half a second, but restart immediately. No recovery mode, no booting, just the backlights staying up for half a second.
My answer is, if anyone has any time and patience to help me and others who might encounter the thread, is there something that can be done to bring back the device?
Thanks !
yeah, you´ve 2 options : first you delete the partition and tell them you don´t know anything...
or install win 7/ or use ubuntu
Second option

I don't think that win7 can be installed on an arm processor. As for ubuntu, i will try to install it, but i have to learn more about the post/storage/arm cpu in order to bring the tablet back to life.
Can anyone direct me to some resources on how to install an os on an arm architecture?
I tried to find the resources, but in no avail.
Thanks .
hmmm .. im really interested in this thread.
i also have this tablet and i would want to try some different roms but dont see any support for it anywhere (for the tablet).
hope u manage to recover ur device..
ill be watching this thread .
okay it´s easy....
download the update 4789 etc. from hannspree, rename just update, take zip file(update) into root of your external device than boot ( push volumen up+ and power button 5 seconds) than should the system reboot with old settings, if nothing happens try with ac adapter and usb.
@fxandrei : i try to install win 7,bootlloader etc. if you know something or have honeycombfiles/updates etc. pls say it thx

@RootRightUser
i dont .
im looking for stuff like this.
im hopping that this tablet gets some support (like acer iconia or asus eee transformer).
Any news on it? I am on a worst scenario, the one where one decide to use nvflash_gtablet...zip on the Hannspad (modify partition scheme, and worst cbt )
I can't boot, or rescue anymore, and trying to recover the partition scheme seems to end in only APX mode to work (no more wolume up or down + power working)
Reflashing nvflash_gtablet restore viewsonic start screen but that's all...
I need a fresh and complete dump of hannspad SN10T1 (cbt+partitiontable+every partition dump)
For those interrested, with the help of people from slatedroid and forum.hardware.fr, I've been able to recover my tablet (not stock 12 patitions, but a good working 10 partitions images).
You can find instructions and the full package (rom 1.2.1-4789 + Linux and windows nvflash +drivers for windows + scripts) there:
I can't post URL so go to
www-DOT-slatedroid-DOT-com/topic/20148-hannspree-hannspad-sn10t1-rom-dump
For now, I can give you my Recovery for Hannspad (put you directly to 1.2.1-4789 Hannspree)
Instructions:
Connect your PC and Tablet with the usb cable
Put your device in APX mode.
APX mode is obtained, whe you have bricked your device, or when doing the following:
tablet is off and you start it by pressing and maintaining volume down + power button, it must power on and go to a black screen, it it goes to a freezed boot log or a work in progress image, the try wolume up + power button.
Linux:
You can see if your device in APX under linux by doing a lsusb, if you can see a line with:
Bus XXX Device YYY: ID 0955:7820 NVidia Corp.
So now you have a APX connexion with your tablet.
Download Recovery-SN10T1-1.2.1-4789.zip (link at bottom of post)
Extract it where you want, and execute ./nvflash_sn10t1.sh
After it is finished powerdown th tablet, do the opposite combo key (volume up or down + power for 3-4 seconds) and make a wipe data/factory reset.
You can restart, you have a stock rom (10 partitions only, not stock firmware)
Windows
Download Recovery-SN10T1-1.2.1-4789.zip
Extract it where you want
Now boot your tablet in APX mode:

Now connect your PC and the tablet by USB cable. Windows should search for drivers, it won't find it so you can cancel the windows update search. Now go to device properties (right click on computer and manage), and make it install the driver included in the zip. Now you must be able to execute nvflash_sn10t1.bat
After it is finished powerdown th tablet, do the opposite combo key (volume up or down + power for 3-4 seconds) and make a wipe data/factory reset.
You can restart, you have a stock rom (10 partitions only, not stock firmware).

many thanks
Thanks, that fixed the problem. Although the tablet is working, the quest to have Ubuntu on the tablet is still on the table(some pun intended). On slatedroid forum there are some folks with the exact same ideea, so, let,s hope that running x11/Ubuntu on sn10t1 will happen.

Cant boot into recovery
Hello'
Am sorry if I have posted this in the wrong thread.
I have a 53 version Hannspad and I was able to successfully install Flashback 7.2 onto it.
Everything was well until yesterday when I installed Rom Manager from the market and installed Gtab flash recovery by choosing first option in the rom manager and then selecting Gtab from the list (the list had Advent Vega' Elocity A7' etc).
It said "flashed successfully" and I almost forgot about it until yesterday when I decided to install fards Gtabcomb 3.3_refresh. Now I am unable to boot into either CWM recovery or stock recovery. The tablet boots and runs just fine just doesn't go into recovery. It says 'Recovery key detected' and gets struck though I can boot and use the tablet. I am writing this using the tablet. My main probelm with Flashback is that it doesn't allow me to download apps via market.
Please suggest me how to get CWM back.
Thank you
Help please! My device wont enter apx mode... it does open the recovery mode every time and i can't make modifications because the side buttons aren't working aswell.
I thank everybody for there hard work to get these problems solved, I do have a good one :
I tried to flash Recovery-SN10T1-1.2.1-4789.zip and it excuted ok on my hannspad I saw the Hannspree logo, than the Tap N Tap running logo .. but now the Hannspad didn't startup, it came in a loop of the Tap N Tap screen, after 4 times the screen became blank (only the green powerlight showing) .
Now I read i had to do a Data wipe (go into recovery mode) .. but After (hard) reboot and pushing the +/- button it just goes to APX mode and no recovery (stock nor CWM) i just can't seem to nvflash any recovery.img to make the thing work ..
I would love to have some help, i would really appreciate it
Sadly enough there isn't much of a Hpad community @XDA, so for help with your problem you might be better of in the [email protected] forums or, depending on your language skills at android-hilfe or hannspad.fr. All three have excellent recovery guides. Good luck.
You're a lifesaver!

I thought I had bricked my friends Hannspad for good after trying many other "solutions" until yours did the trick. Thanks for being both clever enough to know how to solve my problem and kind enough to share.
I have a problem with my TF101. What hav i done? I was trying to update my tablet to 4.3. I use CWM Recovery v6.0.1.4 this programm can only update from SDCard but i have download the update software on a MicroSD. After i downloaded the neccesary files on the MicroSD card i have erased all files from my tablet. I thouth that i could update from the MicroSD card. But CWM recovery only can update from the intern SDCard.
Now i can't put any software on te tablet. I have tryed to connect the tablet at the computer but the computer doesn't recognise the tablet. I have tryed it with the USB/power cable and also with USB/USB and a keyboard.
Can someone tell me more??????
You should use TWRP Recovery for JellyBean ROMs, CWM will brick your TF
You should be able to de-brick and flash TWRP using Easyflasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
It still doesn't work
I hav tryed to use easyflasher and put US_epad-user-9.2.1.17.zip in the asusupdate directory.
Because my serial number start with B70 i have tryed it with both options.
Both times i think that the tablet and the PC are not connected. When i look i see that the driver (universal Naked drive 0.72) is active.
When i select OK in the APX screen the CMD screen is active and tells me:
Header size: 60 at the end it is extracting BLOB. When it's done Easyflasher is Done, but on my TF1010 i nothing changed.
On the TF101 is have still CWM Recovery v6.0.1.4 on the screen. My tf101 is not responding.
I still think that the PC and the TF101 are not conected, what do i wrong?
When i push the on/off button and the vol_down button and then the vol_up_the TF101 comes in the CWM recovery v6.0.1.4 screen.
When i push the on/off button and the vol_down and they the vol_down i come in the Wiping screen, then i have the possibillaty to push vol_up (excecute wiping) or vol_down (cancel wiping).
When i push the on/off button and the vol_up button the TF101 comes in the EEE PAd mode from ASUS.
I have tryed several option, but still the TF101 isn't changed.
When i push the on/off button en restart the tf101 the pc respons with a ping.
I do something wrong, but i don't know what. I have also checked youtube and used the film from Unbrick Asus transformer TF101 with EasyFlasher windows 8 revised fron dnagtalon.
Putting a stock ROM in Easyflasher will just flash it back to stock
You want to select the TWRP option and probably SBK2
Some B7Os are SBK1, but I think most are SBK2
Tablet needs to be in APX Mode (Volume Up & Power) nothing will show on the screen, only USB connect sound will show the tablet is in APX mode

I was tired of CM 10, and wanted to be able to use the trackpad on my tf101. I wiped and flashed my tablet back to stock rom. I went to boot it up and it shows the eee pad logo then it goes to this asus logo screen with the loading symbol below the logo. It's been like this for the past 2 hours. i tried rebooting it, but it just goes to the same screen and stays there. When I try to boot in recovery (or twrp) to restore back to CM10, and i get a laying down android robot with its "stomach" open and a triangle with a exclamation point thats red. After a while it goes back to the never ending asus logo with the loading symbol sign.
Serial Number - It's a B70 that SK1
Asus TF101
If you are sure your B7O is SBK1 you can use NVFLASH ROMs to get back to stock

You don't have TWRP installed any more if you flashed stock, if you want TWRP back, use EasyFlasher

I would advise installing a KatKiss ROM after flashing TWRP - trackpad works fine and the ROMs are great

The only thing is now it won't let me get to APX mode at all. The screen goes black then nothing. :/
That is APX mode, nothing appears on the TF screen, only sign it is working is the PC connect USB sound and notification

I have a problem - none of it's working. Do you have to install the drivers manually? I'm on Windows 7 if that helps. and then I run download.bat as admin and the cmd pops up for a second then closes. my tf101 is still here bricked. I was in APX mode too.
Yea, go to device manager and look for the ! entry for the missing driver, then right click that and tell it to update the driver > go through the wizard to manually choose the driver from your PC and point it to the drivers folder in the NVFLASH folder
If you have problems with those drivers, try these ones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
You might have to manually end task in task manager for "adb.exe" before trying again

Thank you for all your help! I would have never been able to figure it out. Just I'm on the asus rom and I hit the trackpad button so it's on, but yet it stilll won't work. I've used it before so I know it works. If you know how to fix it thats great, but if not it's fine. I just bought the keyboard for the keyboard lol.
If you have the on-screen keyboard installed set to anything but ASUS keyboard / Language set incorrectly for Physical dock keyboard, I think that breaks some keys on the dock, and it's possible that the trackpad button you're pressing is not doing anything - try some other keys like screenshot and wifi etc to see if the dock is working properly
Im not 100% sure - but check in settings for a touchscreen method of enabling the trackpad
---
I know there is a setting in the ASUS ROM to change from "Gesture" to "Trackpad" mode, gestures only has a white circle when you touch the pad, trackpad has a mouse pointer iirc
If it's not showing any and you're on the stock ROM Im not sure
Check for updates in Settings > About Tablet > Updates
See if there is an update for the dock if you've just bought it
Other than that, you could try different ROMs to see if it's a ROM fault or if the dock has become faulty, just make sure to flash TWRP recovery if you go for Jellybean / KitKat ROMs, - CWM recovery bricks tablets pretty often
Not sure if I have successfully bricked my first android device or not but here I am. I can not get a succeessful power button/Vol down choice so I can reinstall the ROM.
It looks like I can get to what I think is called apx mode by using the reset button and power up. I installed the Asus Sync pack to get the drivers, (tried on win8 and win7), I tried adb on both OSes but still get no device found. Neither of my OSes are recognizing the device either.
Am I in a state where if I get the OS drivers right I can basically reinstall recovery to the internal drive and go from there?
Currently I just have that dang asus screen and it won't even power off after holding the power button down for 10-15 seconds, it just reboots to the Asus screen.

People are generally not able to restore after a full wipe
APX mode is possible only if you have made Nvflash Backups beforehand (before bricking).
I've had my eee Pad Transformer TF101 for a few years now. I've had it rooted for most of the time, I've installed several roms before. But a few months ago I hard bricked (Pretty sure it's a hard brick) my tablet installing a new rom.
It will turn on, but it well stay on the ASUS logo for 5 minutes then turn off and start back at the ASUS logo until it turns off again. I use the power and down key to somewhat access recovery. I attempt to access recovery but all I get is a screen with an android on it's back with the red explanation point signal. The blue bar under the android acts like it loading, but I never get past this screen, and after a few minutes it will reboot to the ASUS logo again.
Also when I plug my tablet into my computer it will recognize that something is plugged in but is unable to install the driver. I've attempted to install other drivers but my computer wont allow me to, it keeps telling me the driver I have installed is the best driver, even though its not working.
I've looked all over xda, and I've tried easyflasher and peri. but I'm unable to connect to my computer successfully in order to get either to work.
Does anyone have any advice?
You need to get the Universal Naked Drivers installed
If you are running 64bit Windows, disable driver signing from safemode options - or use Win 7 32bit
Win 8.x needs driver signing disabled for both flavours
--
You need to stick the TF into APX mode (Power off then Vol up & power till the PC recognises it and tries to install the drivers) then install the above drivers and try Easyflasher again
I got the Universal Drivers working a few hours ago. I was able to boot into APX and have my transformer recognized by my computer. I ran Easyflasher several times trying to flash a recovery and using the stock/unbrick option, but it hadn't ran all the way through or told me on the tablet that it was successful until a few minutes ago. I tried again a few minutes ago and Easyflasher went all the way through and the tablet stated on screen that it was successful, excpet now I can't boot at all or even attempt to pull up recovery, it now doesn't boot into anything but APX.
Did you use the correct SBK on Easyflasher?
B6O serials and earlier are SBK1, some B7Os too, the rest above are SBK2
Wont do any harm using the wrong one, it just wont work
And to get out of APX mode, hold power for 30 seconds~, then power on normally
--
Did you try flashing it back to stock using the stock firmware instructions on the Easyflasher page ?
If you only flashed TWRP recovery, you will need to power on normally (not recovery) at least once and hopefully see the blue update progress bar under the ASUS logo for a few seconds while it updates RCK - then you should be able to power off and press VOL DOWN & POWER till you see the white text at the top of the TF screen - then release all buttons and within 5 seconds, hit POWER UP once to enter recovery
