[Completed] Retreive Files from Bootlooped ATM7029

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?

Hope you find answers.....it can be a challenge on obscure devices.

[Q] Need some answers about Ubuntu on N8000

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this community (as well as these activities i.e. flashing, modding etc..), but i have been following up on threads and topics for about 2 months..
i was obsessed with changing my N8000's OS, and I've found here a lot of Mods and stuff like Cyanogen Mod and OmniRom and others
but i decided to try out Ubuntu.
So far, i have found 2 main topics about installing Ubuntu on N8000, first one by mamenyaka about Ubuntu touch, and the other is X-Stranger's about Ubuntu (the PC version I Guess..),
However, i have a bunch of questions regarding installation and features, so please be patient with my n00bness! and Thanks in Advance...
(if this thread gets solved, I think it can perhaps be used as a "newbie FAQs")
1st of all i have a note 10.1 N8000 running stock JB , and I have about 3.5 GB free
These Questions are based upon procedures and infos in mamenyanka's thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168999
1- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)
2- Do i have to have Cyanogen Mod installed on My device in order to install Ubuntu?
3- Do i have to Root the Device?
4- Can i Dual Boot this or install on SD?
5- Sound doesnt Work? u mean speakers aint detected? can it be usable if i plug the headphones?
6- Cellular Radio doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?
7- What about Play store and its Apps?
8- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?
9- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?
10- What is the best Tool for Backing up? (my device is untouched since buying i.e. didnt do any kind of Modding)
11- Does the backup save my entire data (Apps,games,savegames,notes,contacts,gallery,sounds etc.)
12- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?
And these questions are based upon X-Stranger's Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554959
1- What kind of ubuntu is this?
2- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)
3- Can i DualBoot this or install on SD?
4- Does the sound work here?
5- 3G doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?
6- What about Play store and its Apps?
7- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?
8- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?
9- What is the recovery.img file, what is the custom and the native recovery.img, and what does the "menus" stand for?
10- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?
A Yes/No answer would be enough for most of these questions..
Thanks Again

Windows 8 USB Problems
Hi! I installed this rom since the cyanogenmod one had been giving me problems and huge slowdowns.
Everything seems to work amazingly, but for some reason can't get it to connect to windows 8 through USB.
It was working with the other rom, now it is detected but it just says Android, like it's not detecting which driver to use, and cannot access as external harddrive nor make it work using adb.
Any help/ideas will be deeply apreciated.

I wanted to answer as quickly as possible, however I am not completely firm on the answer.
I had win8 on my latest laptop for about 10 min when I bought it. I only sorta remember something it was going to be good at. Something about , after a boot, being able to walk backwards into the bios level to drop off various settings. Not unlike, telling it that there is new hardware to be expected next boot?
Please, anybody, jump in here if you want before I find a way to back this up.
Keep at it tho. It would be hard enough to get the answer you want dealing with strait Android+(all of the *.apk combos out there).
Will try.....
Try this?http://systems.engr.ucr.edu/tutorials/documents/Windows%208%20Hotkeys%20Complete.pdf
TRom's has always been great for random PC stuff http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-8-review,3334-4.html

Here's an update, I managed to make some progress (I was getting error code 28) and found this at stackoverflow:
"If the device is listed in Device Manager as Other devices -> Android but reports an error code 28:
Google USB Driver didn't work for me. You could try your corresponding OEM USB Drivers, but in my case my device is not listed there.
So, install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.5.33.0
Restart the computer (very important)
Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
Select Browse my computer for driver software
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Select ADB Interface from the list
Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yes to continue.
Done!"
Now I can use adb for debugging but still can't access my device folders (Internal and External SD Cards), maybe I need to change something on my phone configuration (It is already allowing USB debugging)

I'm so ashamed now ... I didn't knew how to activate mass storage.
Thanks for the help!

@wantowan2. Love this ROM and kernel. Was wondering if you could add virtualcdrom support via a few commits please.

Could somebody check HDMI tvout via MHL for this ROM?

[Completed] [Q] cannot bigpart or upgrade my Xooms

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.
GreyBeard51
(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??"

Hi there,
Sorry but this section is for helping guide new members on where to find their answer on XDA.

[Completed] GPS unlock

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.
