You can find the ADB drivers and how to install them here
http://www.topnotchtablets.com/installADBdriver
To boot into recovery mode from an adb shell prompt, enter
"echo -e 'boot-recovery\0' > /dev/block/nandf; sync"(note: that's a "backslash zero" in the line above)
Now, press and hold Power until the tablet turns off, then turn it back on normally
And to flash with livesuit
1. Download Livesuit v1.07
2. Turn off the tablet and load the image into Livesuit
3. Hold the volume - and THEN plug the tablet into your computer
Don't let go of - until something pops up int Livesuit
Hope this helps you with your problem!

Well you could try to fix the volume button.
Or if there is cwm already on the tablet you can boot into recovery
without the volume button by a adb shell

Yes i have already CWM. I have read about that but do i need download SDK or its possible without that ?

Yes ADB comes with SDK so downloading that would probably be the best.
Then just install the drivers and try the shell (refer to my first reply)

Ok i'll try. Just have very slow internet it's takes time to download sdk about 12 hours...

[Q] Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 recovery

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

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!

[Q] Download Mode Help Soft-Brick

OK, so i went and flashed an old backup. Now i can't enter recovery or download mode at all. Can someone help me out? My phone doesn't go passed the SGS4G boot screen. It just stays there. Left it on for three hours and nothing. The only PC i have access to does not have internet. I am typing this on my backup Nokia X2.
Your going to need to download Odin 1.85 and then download any 2.3 and above up to 2.3.6 firmware. I highly recommend also downloading Dr honks kj 1 kernel for it comes with voodoo lag fix and clock work mod recovery.but u must read alot to find what you need because u could possibly ruin your phone permanently!!! Good luck and like I said you must read... it will be your best bet towards reviving your phone and keeping it operational.
I know that and all but no matter what i do. I cannot enter download mode at all. I can't even enter recovery. The only buttons i can press are the only 3 hardware keys. My soft-keys don't work.
When u can use your computer again.set up Odin then plug your USB cable in then before you connect your phone make sure you take the battery out leave the backing off your phone.then plug your USB to your phone be sure to hold vol. Up and down simultaneously then keep volume up down held down and put your battery in, that should put your phone in download option it should also warn you that placing a custom rom or firmware could pose a problem to your phone then I believe the option to put your phone in download mode is volume up once u push up with the volume key you should immediately be put in Andy's download mode.that's really the other alternative that has worked for me always. I certainly hope u get your phone running again bro otherwise you may have to send your phone to warranty replacement that's if its still valid 4 u or if u pay for insurance on your phone, I saw your posts and know your familiar with several how to's and such so like u said good luck to you homez.

Your other option is to download the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) & install it. It contains 'adb' which will allow you to reboot the phone into download or recovery mode.
Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, download and install the SDK. You only need to install the Tools part, not all of the other parts.
Once done, open a command prompt, cd to the platform-tools directory where the SDK installed, and issue the command:
adb reboot download
That should get you there.

[Q] Need HELP!

Ok,so im in desperation mode here with my Bricked TF101.. i did post a similar problem on here a while ago and thought i had got it fixed,but as it turns out i don't and am in need of as Much help as anyone can give me please.. :/
..
ok so here it goes..
My TF is bricked,and iv'e tried just about everything (NVflash) and STILL can't get my TF to boot normally without Cold booting every-single-time .. its tiring and stressful .. My PC wont even recognize it when i plug it in via USB to try the NVflash method (i have a B40).. it freezes at the "asus" logo..
HOWEVER,i CAN cold boot like i said but Holding the Volume+ button along with the Power button doesn't work on my TF,no sound,no notihng.. Also,when i use "power+volume down" method,pressing Valume up wont work,i have to let it go to cold boot options..
ANY help is much appreciated and i still love my asus tranny enough to give it another shot.. thanks alot -
Asus logo? If you're doing a recovery through NVFlash then you shouldn't be seeing the Asus logo. When you enter APX mode, the screen should be off the whole time (to the best of recollection). The only way that you can really tell that it's on is when you plug it in and go to Device Manager and see it under USB Controllers.

Do not know whether your tab is rooted or not. If rooted, you can try reboot by software. For example, you can try:
1. ROM ToolBox or
2. Tasker's Mis/Reboot action or
3. run terminal emulator and do the following:
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
exit
reboot
It sound to me that it is better to see if you can nvflash it with stock rom and then return it to asus for repair......
when your tablet boots, what version is it on? is it root? does cmw still work?
try install recovery installer of gnufabio as app in your tablet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
if your tablet boots, can you connect it to your pc, disable asys sync and splashtop and see if you can connect with "adb devices" see if it reacts.
Did you install APX driver? When in APX mode to use nvflash the screen on the TF will be black and nothing else.
VOL UP + Power put you in APX mode.
even going through all the instructions of NVflash i still didnt even get a beep on my TF or my PC didnt even recognize it.. the asus logo appears and freezes if i just try turning it on..

How do i go about installing the APX driver?.. do i install it into my TF or my pc?,cuz i have already the NVflash files on my laptop,is it included?.
..i have tried Running it according to the NVflash instructions and nothing happens,no APX driver found in my Device controllers settings..
look in the development section for Brk root toolkit v7.1, download and installed it on your pc.
in this app there is an option to install the usb APX drivers.....
if this application works, it hopefully is also able to place cwm on your system, just try it....
hope this is helpfull.....

Super bricked

I hope I can save it but after 4 hours of trying and reading I can't seem to do it.
I was running an unlocked tf300 with cleanrom. I wanted to update to the newest version of cleanrom and have my tablet on that and ready for school for next term. I downloaded cleanrom on laptop and put it on my micro sd. Went and grabbed the tablet and tried using rom manager to install from sd and backup the os that was on it. Didn't work. So booted into the fastboot spot (vol down and power) and decided i should wipe data since i was there. Went over to that and pushed vol up (once). Let it sit for like 45 minutes and was still on the same screen. Thought to myself well it must be done. Shut off the tablet to restart it.
This is where the problem came up. Now i'm stuck on asus logo. The VD+P doesn't do anything but reboot into the asus logo. The VU+P will put it into a black screen and windows sees it as Asus transformer Prime APX interface. But adb can't see the device. Just device manager. typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 thing just says <waiting for device>
Every post i've read seems to tell people to just push VD+P but if i could do that and get to recovery i wouldn't be doing this. I can't put a blob file into the root sd of the tablet because I can't see the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe this link can help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034866
Device manager already sees it as transformer prime apx thing though. So i assume by getting it into APX mode doing the VU+P method it is in apx? or is that not mean it's actually in apx?

Apx mode is not going to do you any good. The previous link also provides info on blootloader " recovery " mode.
Try the universal naked drivers from this link and try fastboot again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220
If that does not work leave off ' -i 0x0b05 ' in fastboot -i 0x0b05 command and try again.

I know you previously said you couldn't get into recovery-bootloader menu but that is what we have to accomplish. Apx mode on this unit is only good if you previously installed nvflash and had all of the proper backup files.
The first link I provided provides 9 ways to get into bootloader menu and from there either fastboot mode (usb symbol) or recovery (RCK). I know some may not work but we only need one.

apx or bootloader menu-recovery.
To use this guide to enter the bootloader menu just use volume down everywhere it says volume up. Everything else is the same.
4. with unit powered on hold volume down and press reset with paperclip - (don't press hard) reset is located about 25mm or 1in below the sdcard
try this one.

Plug power cord into tab with the other end of the power cord not plugged into anything. Hold volume down and plug other end of power cord into pc. This done without pressing power again after it is powered off. Easier to do than describe.

The Problem lies in holding the volume down button. No matter how i turn it on. either plugging it in while holding power down, reset button, letting it die and then plugging it in and turning it on....it just goes into the asus logo screen .

I'm sorry, I did understand that from the beginning but the only things that can save you is get into that menu or recovery or your tab accepts a fastboot or adb command. That is the reason you keep getting pushed into that direction.
My best guesses are out. Sometimes redoing something you have already done twice works.
My experience and all I have read rom manager has issues on this tab. Also many who wiped data from the bootloader- recovery menu reach this same point when they reboot.
Some have recovered by just doing each thing again and again and suddenly something works.
Yeah i fear i'm just going to have to call ASUS . sad panda. i keep trying different methods of doing the VD+P method but it just won't get into recovery.

I'm sorry but I am afraid you are correct. If unable to use adb, fastboot, or get into recovery there aren't any other options. Sorry if I pushed more than I should but I wanted to see a more positive result than calling Asus.
Good Luck!

If you explain you were having issues with your tab and used wipe data hoping to correct the problem. Now when you turn on it just stays on the asus logo maybe they will repair it without cost.
If you go into detail you probably won't get lucky.

get into recovery without volume buttons

Hey everyone I have a HTC inspire which I flashed jelly time onto, before that my volume buttons worked but now they don't work and the button is complety gone HTC did a very bad job with that it easily came out... So recently when I boot the phone on it boots the normal jelly time startup and the black screen. I have seen the only way to fix this is either factory reset or reflash ROM. But I am unable to do that since ,y volume button is broken. I have read that you can get to recovery via adb and or flash via adb can someone help me out please?

you can connect your HTC phone to your computer via USB cable, and use the command below, before that you need to install adb shell on Windows.
adb reboot bootloader
Also, you could enter Recovery mode through ROM Toolbox and if you're using TWRP, its touch, so you dont need hardware keys.

So you're stuck on booting and your hardware buttons dont work?
There is a way to get into the recovery in such a situation but that usually relies on the hardware buttons. What device do you have? What recovery?
Try this
Remove battery n reinsert it
Now connect the phone to charger.
Don't do anything keep the phone as it is for 5 -10 min.
It will automatically go to recovery

Hey cool. I used to own an Inspire for couple of years.
Im not sure if understood the condition of your phone and whats working or not but:
take out your battery and reinsert. hold the power button and volume down button for a couple of seconds and it will boot into recovery

Im assuming you have android sdk installed
Connect your phone, locate adb using cmd prompt (change directory) (RUN AS ADMIN), type 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)
I will try this in the morning. What screen do I use the command at? Anytime?

Follow these fool-proof steps:
Locate your android sdk folders-> navigate to the folder where adb is located ->hold shift + right click on the folder containing adb and select ''open command window here'' ( this will automatically take care of pointing the directory to that location) -> 'adb reboot recovery' ENTER
This will automatically enter recovery. I suggest you restore your old backup .
As for your volume buttons, you should be able to fix it easily if you know a little bit of soldering and know-how.

ADB *may* work on the boot logo, but it certainly won't work as the phone is booting.

Like MacHackz said. As far as i know also this may be the only way you maybe able to boot into recovery so might as well give it a shot.
MacHackz, your banner made me think i have a bug behind my screen and I spent a while trying figure it out. LOL
HTC Desire HD hard reset without volume buttons
I have htc desire hd and my volume buttons is broken ,my phone is much dispute and have lots of bugs i want to HARD RESET no factory reset only hard reset with rebote. Please help me how to reset my HTC DHD without volume buttons!!
!!sorry for my english!!
SOLVED! (At least for me)
To whom may still be interested, I found a way to get into recovery and subsequently wipe data/factory reset the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD without using the volume buttons.
Phone background: the phone that I used had the internal volume buttons broken. It was rooted and unlocked using the effen hack kit, then I flashed a custom ROM on it and I forgot to do a factory reset before I firstly boot up the phone with the new ROM. So it was stuck on the boot animation forever.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery
Note: use the touch capacitive buttons to manipulate recovery:
- Home/Menu buttons to navigate up/down
- Back button to go back
- Search button to select
That's pretty much it. At this point you can do anything!
I hope this can help someone out there... If it helped you please hit the thanks button!

You can use adb commands to enter in recovery mode. Connect your android to PC. Enable adb debugging and open command prompt in PC.
Type "adb devices" without qoutes and enter then type "adb reboot recovery" and enter. These commands boot your android in recovery mode.
