I hope I'm not doing soemthing wrong here, but I've given up trying to update my Xooms. So I copy my post on Questions & Answers to this area. 50 views got no response over there. Any relevant information might get me interested again. Thank You, and please delete this post if it's out of order.

(newby with two xooms,a kindle fire, and Linux Mint 17) I love Xoom.
"I have two identical xooms. The model number lists as "Xoom". Android version is 4 .1.2 , build JZ054K, kernal version 2.6.39.4-g4e32b94 . I've been trying for days to update at least one of them. I'm using a Linux Mint 17 desktop. No Windows available.
I've tried everything I found on these forums, and nothing has worked. I have 32gb external sd cards in both of them. My first trak was to do it from the SD card but I found that recovery cannot see my SD card. I also tried putting " BigPart" in a directory called downloads, but that didn't help. I also tried loading it onto the internal card. Can't see it either way.
I downloaded the Linux android files and plugged in the USB cable. I could talk to the Xoom, and tell it to reboot the bootlooder into fastboot or recovery, and the Xoom would reboot but lock up at the "loading fastboot" screen. I tried sideloading the BigPart file, but the install would fail on validation. If I try to enter fastboot by rebooting it locks on the loading screen. If I load recovery on boot it appears to come up but It can't see the SD cards or accept the files from the computer (From adb).
One of these Xoom's I gedfied and the other was a google device when I bought it. Both got all of their last bunch of updates thru Google, until Google dropped them. Could the google updates have left something needed out??
As I understand the process getting Big part on the device is the first step. I have all needed files for the upgrade,on my SD cards and on my Linux machine. I just can't use them. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know where and what the OS is looking for during that attempted USB update??"

Trying to root my moms new nook (her request) and was rolling along until I hit the nook zergy screen (in red) and it won't read the device to root. I'm basically at step 5/5 just can't see what im missing. I've exhausted Google on this and can't seem to find an answer. I'm noobish to this so from prior experience do I need sdk tools for windows?
Everything is installed (drivers etc) NO SD CARD INSTALLED (make a difference?)
Admins plz move if I posted in wrong area. First post and was directed to general q&a for this questioned instead of the forum I pulled the root info from. Thanks
Anybody.....anybody?
I had the exact same problem. Zergy asked if I saw the nook and I typed "n" and pressed enter and it said something about lieing and I couldnt proceed. Now the computer doesnt recognize the tablet at an android device in device manager. (I unplugged it and tried to do the process over again...)
I am also facing same problem. Tried in Six deferent pc with no luck.
I am using the device out side USA.
Please help indirect .......... We are in no way
Here you go guys. It worked for me. I also had to uninstall the composite devices in the same subcategory...

A friend of mine that I gave a tablet to left it in a hot car and now it is bootlooping. She has a bunch of photos and documents that were written on the tablet that she would like to get back. The only trouble is that this tablet is one of those Chinese Action ATM7029 clones with little to no information on the internet about them. I figured out the combos to get into the stock recovery and do have access to SD cards to load recovery images onto it. ADB bridge / debugging was never turned on in the tablet so going into recovery does not create an ADB link. Here are the details:
Device: FastTouch 10" 8gb
Android: 4.2.2
Processor: ATM7029
Memory: 8gb flash / 1gb ram
ADB Enabled: No, USB Debugging was never turned on
Recovery: Accessible, but only stock version
SD Slot: yes, 8 and 32gb SD Cards are available to be used
Computers and Operating systems: I have a Mac with 10.8 with ADK 'installed', access to a windows 7 machine available
(Amazon link to the device: amazon_com/gp/product/B00ECKG0XK/)
Here is what I have done:
1) Got into recovery
2) Tried wiping cache and rebooting, still stuck
3) Tried ADB from a Mac machine, not recognized (ADB was not turned on in tablet)
4) Looked for any sort of recovery for the device. Sketchy possibles, no direct compatible found
5) Posted here.
Here is what I want to do:
1) Get the files off (if possible)
2) Get the device working, even if that requires wiping the files out (if possible)
Can anyone point me to a CWM or TWRP that would work with this device and let me form an ADB link to backup with? Even if the recovery ran out of ramdisk and didn't install that would be enough. I really want to get those files back out before doing dastardly things to the device. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
Hi!
I can find nothing useful about that device on XDA. It is possible its suffered a hardware failure from the extreme heat and may be unrecoverable.
However, Please ask in the following general thread. Perhaps you will find some help.

Thanks for the advice. I wondered if I should post it there first. Will anyone be mad if I just copy paste that over?

That's exactly where I would post your question. ?
Hope you find answers.....it can be a challenge on obscure devices.
I bought the TF103C last weekend and really enjoy it besides a couple issues. I realized today that I was unable to write to my SD card using FX(File Explorer) or Microsoft Excel. I have done some searching on the forum, but I'm not sure the difference between the TF101 and the TF103, so I'm unsure of the correct answers. My questions are:
1. Is the only way to write to the SD card to root my device?
2.When I plug the tablet into my PC, I am able to see my device as "K010". I have files in the Documents folder, but when navigating to "K010\Internal storage\Documents" it says "This folder is empty", why?
3.What is the best way to root this device currently, and how well does lollipop run? I have seen some people saying everything works, while others say practically nothing works. Whats has everyone experienced?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello, I'd like to kindly ask for some assistance.
I got a GPS device Telesystem ts 8511 running on windows ce 5.0. I tried to update maps on it but it wouldn't let me, beacuse of licenses. So I tried to unlock it with Miopocket. But in the process I have formatted SD card on which there was quite a lot of factory installed GPS program and navigation didn't work anymore, nor did Miopocket (couldn't find a way to instal it). So I found a way to rest the device by using files providet by manufacturer on it's website. that procedure lead me to point where device is asking for SD card I formatted earlier.
I'm triying to get to the os in the device and install some other navigation app on it.
I would really appreciate some help.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I am not finding anything at all for your device anywhere in XDA. Try posting your question in the forum linked below.

Well here I have a wonderful problem, I have two devices, according to the working one and cpu z:
4x ARM cortex A9 @1.42 ghz
revision r3p0
Rockchip RK3066
Model rk3188
Manufacturer Zowee
Android version 4.4.2
bootloader unknown
java vm Dalvik 1.6.0
kernel 3.0.36+ (eng.candy.20150403.110733)
The device that has the problem is the exact same model and all, however, after plugging it to the AC current, it tries to boot up but enters into recovery mode, none of the options work at all, looking into youtube I found out that I can extract the firmware, so far so good, but, I can't use that method because RKROMDUMPER and RKAndroid_v1.29 need the tablet to be plugged and there is the problem, the faulty tablet does not load in that mode while plugged to the computer.
So I was left with the option of getting into recovery mode and attempt to update from external storage, so far the only "Firmware" or "ROM" I've got is the one I extracted from the working tablet, I have, backup.img, boot.img, kernel.img and so on, the biggest one is the system.img which is near 6GB size.
I really don't know how to proceed from this point, do I have anything usable with those .img files? I have tried downloading a 4.4 Android rom, the recovery tried to load the files contained in the zip folder yet the loader showed messages such as, bad footer, or invalid image or always a denial message of whatever sort you may imagine.
So, I am stuck, reading further more I discovered that there are other methods or even other roms that can be loaded, but the Zowee guys have near to nothing to work with.
Could you please help me with this? Are the .img parts usable or in some way "joinable" like merge them into a single file or directory?
The device was not rooted, so I am left with only the chance of fresh installing from sd card and nothing else.
Thanks in advance.
