Hi all does anyone have a backup stock or mode of the Nextbook Ares 11a android mine is bricked and I want to just get it working again, I can get to fastboot and it's showing secure boot-disabled/lock state unlocked at this point, I'm thinking the system partition is trashed not really sure, I'd even go for windows OS at this point. Nextbook support is a waste of time and just got the run around with them wanting me to send it back at a cost of $70 I only paid $150 new for it and can't justifie that cost. I'm hoping to find a way to reflash the OS and give that instruction to other's having the same problem. at this point I'm willing to try anything as it's already jacked up and makes a great 11.6" serving tray.
Thanks ahead for any help you may have.

so i bought the witstech a81-e, and ive had it for a couple days and im happy witht the android side of it, but i cant find a straight forward way to put win ce on it.....i found a download page but its in chinese and the instructions arent clear. i followed them anyway and all it does it make the boot time longer before finally going back to android.....help? this was one of the main reasons i bought this tablet, id hate for it to be all for naught
I ordered mine a few days ago and should get it early next year. When I get it I will immediately be putting WinCE on it. I will then (if I am successful) let you know how I did it.
It is supposed to dual boot and the GPS is supposed to work in both Android and WinCE. I ordered the G model but your E model should work similarly. The only difference being that the G model has full USB support.
If you succeed before I do then please let me know how you did it, might save me the urge of throwing it against the wall
Best,
John

Hi,
I have the same problem, can't get WinCe bootable on SD Card.
Perhaps when the new WinCe7 is introduced?
The Market app in android is working fine after new setups.

Hi all,
I have started this thread after not being able to find any information besides specs on my Sumixe 7inch tablet running 2.1 eclair on it.
I purchased the device from Chinavision (big mistake) and havent been able to get any info out of them regarding firmware.
In the insturction manual provided it shows you how to update the device, But because it was translated into very poor english it is like reading in brail (imposible if you don't know what your looking at). I tryed to follow there procedure to update my device. But this was unsuccesfull.
I then contacted chinavision to get the manufacturs details but they cannot provide me with them.
So i need some help trying to recover a bricked tablet.
First off all where can i get drivers for FWDN for a telechips 8900 arm 11 procersor?
Second can someone dump a copy of there original firmware online for me.
Third. Does anyone know how to get into get into recovery mode on this device after new firmware was installed.
The reason why i want this info is because chinavision want me to pay for shipment back to china which i think is rediculas as it was there crap translation that caused my device to brick.
I would also like to ask the devs to make this thread sticky as there is no info on the net regarding this device that can help. And i know that someone on XDA has a solution
Thanks in advance

i came across this tablet on digg, and then wanted to find out more about this tablet and looked on google..i dont know much about it but i found a page where you can get some manufacturer details
http://www.eriktronica.com/sumixe-7-inch-android-tablet-with-wifi-and-camera..html
scroll down a little
about firmware you can try to manually flash same firmware you had before bricking.. or try(if there is such a way) to go to recovery mode factory reset it.
dont you have some sort of warranty?? to send it back or go to a service or something?
i hope this is useful for you, good luck with your tablet!

Hye pforlin,
Because i orderd my tablet from chinavision they want me to send it back. the cost of sending it back from the netherlands is 20% of the sale value. so not really worth it. I have tryed to do a factory reset, and tryed to get in to recovery mode but havent been succesfull.
I hope i can find someone who has had the same issue to try and get it resolved.
Thanks for your info and ill keep posting to let you know the update
Hello all. How are ya's today. I was wondering what I can do with my tablet. I bought it in haste really cause it was cheap. It is running android 4.0.4 The tablet itself is a HS-9DTB4 8gb hipstreet flare. It came rooted already so that is already done. What can I do with it. Can I upgrade the android or replace it with something. I would like to use it for business purposes but can't find the right apps for it I want. Any suggestions. ??
No one has ideas ??

there could be lots of things you can do with a rooted device, problem is you need a custom recovery, (for restoration and backup purposes) generic tablets like your most of the time dont get one. you can go onto the play store and just type in root and there will be a huge number of apps you can use, read the desc to make sure you meet the requirements, lots of people screw up on that.
Where would I get a custom recovery...from the people that make the device or is there a place on the play store to get it for this device. "Read the Desc"...what is that. ?? As long as I don't brick the tablet I don't really care what I do to it. I called hipstreet and they say there are no more updates for this tablet at all so either I do something or I get to use what I have forever, lol. I don't wanna do that.

Custom recovery is cwm, clockworkmod, google and see if a version exists for your device. Rooting gives superuser permission which is extremely powerful, it removes all safeguards that prevent a user from destroying their system, downloading the wrong app or pushing a wrong option can instantly brick a device, which is why custom Recovery's exist, they back up the entire system not just /data but also /system and others. If you do not know what any of this means then i would suggest not messing with root access.
And read the desc means read the description, it is the mass of words under an app in the play store or app thread that outline use, require my a, what not to do and other good stuff

A Custom Recovery is not CWM, CWM is one of the few Custom recovery we have, but pretty much what he said, the only way you would get a recovery is for someone to make one witch i doubt anyone has for your specific tablet.

Cwm or twrp are the main ones, if someone says custom recovery most will say cwm, i was just trying to keep it relatively simple.

So basically there is nothing I can do with it unless someone has made an image specifically for this device, which I to doubt anyone will do. It's not a high end tablet so there is no reason for anyone to in the first place. Is there anyway to update the existing android o/s on it or no. ??

well from the thread it looks like it might be your device, you should ask the person if its for your model only, i searched and it seems like there is a few different ones. otherwise it looks like this is what you need if its for your tablet.
Now that's just for recovery right. ?? How do I find out what else I can load onto my tablet. ??

so if you get this recovery what your going to do is make a backup so you can always restore to when you do something wrong (for safe purposes) then apps that need root will let you use them, as for the update i doubt someone made a rom aswell, if theres no recovery theres no way people have made a rom for the tablet.
Ok, So I guess I will go on a bit of a search then to see what I can find. So not just ANY rom will do. It has to be made for this specific tablet. Like I couldn't say try and load windows on it or something silly like that. ??
Correct. Regardless of anything else you can only run code that's compiled for that.machine ... and I assume you Microsoft doesn't compile Windows for that thing.
You may want to look for a different tablet that's a clone of yours. A lot of the cheap tablets share hardware designs and are identical inside.

So I should be looking more at what hardware it has in it to figure out a rom for it. ??
I have a Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid ( DTH-A1300L ) android version needs help in so many ways. I bought it because I really need one for one of my jobs, yet can't really afford the crazy overpriced insanity that is a new Wacom so the reason it was so cheap was "can't connect to the Play Store. I know, hella foolish, I thought I could fix it by rooting it, but this thing is like level 10 as there is so little info as no one wanted to touch them it seems. I did find one guy on this forum that at one point rooted I am fair to average at rooting and the understanding of all that surrounds it. I have happily and successfully rooted my phones and tablet but I am no pro and fairly good at having gaping invisible holes in my info or logic when it comes to things like this.
Most frustrating is this thing is stuck on android 4 . 1 . 1 for no good reason I can imagine. It has dev tools installed after factory data reset but no google apps. (It arrived factory data reset)
I tried the relevant framework and store and the delete the cache trick to no avail. It can not update and can not even get to the Play Store.
Sooo the bad news is; no Google apps. No updates offered and stuck on some weird what looks like not stock version of 4 .1 .1 Jellybean.
When I plug it into my PC via USB it does not even show up in device manager.
The good news is I rooted it. Checked with root checker (unfortunately for now its Kingroot)
1. I have no idea how to make a back up from here. (no USB connection to PC issue)
or
2. what rom will work as my device is not listed on any of them. It would be great to find the stock rom as I am afraid this things cool and weird cintiq mode, pen function like abilities may be disabled or rendered useless with just any android rom.
Is there anyway to somehow find the stock OS on my device through boot loader? A place to find my stock or like rom. A clever work around?
Thanks in advance. for any who take up the challenge and offer any help or thoughts.
Cheers
Anyone know

Excuse my noobness. Flashify looks good, I installed it, but don't I need some image from somewhere either the stock OS or a new one for it to work? Not sure how to get Gapps from there.
It did I think, find something, a "restore kernel" and "stock recovery" I am unsure did it find my stock kernel and recovery and or ROM and I should boot from that? ( again apologies a-lot of new info and its getting a bit swirly) In otherwords since my device is not listed any where and at this point any working Android version will do, I am wrong to try and reboot from this? These devices are supposed to come stock on 4.2.2, so I am hoping perhaps incorrectly it will go back to that? That would be ideal at this point.
So I can work again whatever works.
Also I a bit concerned about the "date" I posted from on one of these. I think I posted from the Wacom. Perhaps the problem in deeper than I thought as that is Linux time 0?
I think it self corrected but originally it said I posted on Jan 1 1970...
As for custom ROM, I probably wont be able to make my own custom ROM, even though I would love to take to the time to learn, for now I have too many art and work related deadlines.
I was hoping for one that already existed that would work with my device.
Perhaps I misunderstood something about how all this works? Also I do not have Unbuntu. I should as I support an open internet, but WINE really does not run the Adobe products I need for work so
I am stuck with Windows.

If you just want to be able to install apps from the playstore then this is a simple alternative
https://www.xda-developers.com/unshackle-your-device-from-the-google-play-store-with-apkupdater/
If your phone is rooted then flashify can flash zips like gapps without the need for a custom recovery. If you are serious about trying to make your own rom/recovery then use a virtualbox in windows. http://www.osboxes.org/ has plenty of prebuilt virtual linux machines that will run on windows

I appreciate all your help. I got the "google of every kind from Gapps on has stopped" is over, which was intense as it popped up every few seconds, I somehow got that to quit by reloading the proper one from the APK Pure app which was an odd work around but nothing else was working. Still have this unsettling bare bones screen and none of the stock apps as well as it being stuck in 4.1.1. This device was made for 4.2. and I assume it was on here at one point.
I wonder if that alone could cause hardware issues. I thought about taking out the battery, until I realized that thing is inaccessible as a thing can be without wrecking the industrial glues and taking the entire thing apart which sounds
like an accident waiting to happen and possible making things worse. I imagine that is last case scenario.
Like I said I would love to make my stock reload, at this point that would be great as this thing seems unstable and no trick makes the play store work or allow me to sign into the device with my google email.
I think you are saying to make my own recovery/ROM of my own device I need to do the virtual box thing. Correct? Or is that for writing your own custom ROM? I can try that; make my own recovery that is, as it is not on CWM or TWRPs supported devices list so I have no choice and all in all would prefer the thing to load as if it was fresh out of the box not this 4.1. One serious hiccup I have found trying to use my PC is my device is not recognized as a storage device or otherwise. Not sure if this is due to the weird settings of Cintiq mode or simply because the thing is in a very weird state of 4.1.1. So that may make making changes via computer impossible. I am not the type to give up. Thanks again Saw
Here also is a sum up I added to a the just basic question of Can you find the Stock from a recovery device. Basically is there any way to return a device to stock with no ROMs available to do so, as in extract if from the device itself.
Additional backstory if helpful.
"I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers."
My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.
Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....
OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?
Your rooted, but stuck.
So my main question is:
What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?
On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.
Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?
Thanks in advance.

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.
It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?
The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.

The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..
Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..

Totally cool. It's a tough question.
The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
