i just rooted this augen gentouch for a friend and now i am stuck in bootloops. and ideas on what to do? during reboot it does still have access to adb.

i did not have clockwork installed yet, it was net on my todo list

Before your friend kicks your butt or makes you buy him another (or both), You should try to flash the recovery.img then boot into recovery wipe and install a rom.

I do it!!!
I have installed clockworkmod recovery on my GPAD G10, with really working navigation buttons.
What I do:
I have extracted kernel from bootimage and move it to recoveryimage (for m701), and so I have working buttons on GPAD G10.
to get bootimage open cmdconsole in windows and type
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
# su
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img

Then I extract kernel from boot.img with this instruction http : //android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Then split recoveryM701 image to kernel and ramdisk with split_bootimg.pl.
Then I add recovery ramdisk to kernel from boot with mkbootimg.
Then I change next bytes in hex editor
0x0f 10h --> 40h
0x17 11h --> 41h
0x1f 10h --> 40h
0x23 10h --> 40h
0x25 08h --> 10h
add 00h 2048 times before [0x800 d3 fo ...] so that [d3 fo ...] starting at adress 0x1000
And now reflash recovery.
after reboot recovery I wait for a minute, while all three buttons be able to work.

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH.

I have an Augen Gentouch78 and want to thank you for your work on this. One question...after getting nandroid to restore the proper files it booted up into the new system great ......but the touchscreen was not working at all. The hard buttons worked.

I did a data and cache wipe again just to make sure that was not the issue..still no touch screen.

Did I goof up somewhere? Thanks for any advice....

"restore the proper files"... you are talking about CyanogenMod(froyo), right?

touchscreen doesn't work yet. see
http://www.slatedroid.com/showthread.php?t=11542

I want to know something will be changed with newer kernel. (but I think no...)

I don't have D7/GT78. it is very difficult to solve problem without device.

I read on one of the other threads that you have to backup the touchscreen config and then restore after upgrading to froyo to get teh touchscreen to work. Has anyone tried this?

Just got one of these off Amazon. Has auto rotation out of the box and I rooted it with z4 but can't for the life of me get clockwork flashed on this thing. :(

Tried adb and terminal emulator to no avail. Not sure if I have flashimage on it though.
Where can I get it and how do u get it on the device...

So it may have just been too long for me to remember doing it right, but I downloaded the D7 (20101201) and flashed it with ADB. But nothing changed except the pre-boot animation. It still boot up as 2.1, is this not a 2.2 update? The touchscreen worked as well, so I assume it's not (or I just did it wrong).

Thanks!

please clarify
1. which do you want, ClockworkMod Recovery or CyanogenMod?
CyanogenMod thread is here
2. what did you do?
too difficult to understand from "flashed it with ADB".

Need newer build...

Hey guys.. I have an issue that I think the pros here at xda can help with.

I bought this tablet on Black Friday (actually 3 of them), and received them a few days ago. My version of the tablet came with a 3-axis accelerometer and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The build version is eng.king.20100915.221729. After toying with one, I decided to keep it and give the other 2 away as christmas gifts. Of course the first thing I did was root it, but without doing any research, I simply used Lincs rooted v3 patch. Unfortunately, this patch uses build eng.king.20100822.143725, which is obviously from 8/22/2010 and older than what I already had. After flashing, my accelerometer became disabled.

What I want to do now is go back to the build I originally had -- which the other 2 tablets still have. Is there a way to take the build from 1 of the other tablets and transfer it to mine? Or does someone know where I can find one of these newer builds? I know that there is actually a newer build than 9/15.. there's a 10/01 build as reported by someone at androidtablets.com... and I suspect that would be fine for my tablet as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will do whatever I can to assist!!

Oooh, that explains why it didn't work. I thought it was one thing and it was another. Thanks.

Almost there...

Well, since my last post, I found how to create a system.img, boot.img and recovery.img from one of the other tablets running a newer build. I flashed boot.img and recovery.img successfully, and verified that the tablet boots up fine. So far so good... until the last step. Upon trying to flash system.img, I get the following error:
Code:
c:\os>fastboot flash system system.img
sending 'system' (153600 KB)... FAILED (remote: data too large)
I searched around and saw a very vague directive to update from the sdcard, but I don't know exactly how that would work. I tried moving system.img into update_intson_android.zip and trying to apply the update from recovery, but it failed.

So, are there any solutions to this problem? I'm so close...

Well I figured out how to get Clockwork Recovery installed, and then figured out how to install from a zip file. The update was successful, but unfortunately it hangs during boot, on the screen with the little bird thing in the top-left corner.

So am I wrong in thinking that a system.img taken from one tablet might have some information in it that is specific to that tablet, and thus it cannot be used on another tablet? That's the only conclusion I can come to, as I think I've done everything else correctly.

what procedure did you do to make your system.img?
1. cat /dev/mtd/mtdXro > /sdcard/system.img
2. backup by nandroid(clockworkmod recovery)
3. unzip FIRMWARE_FOR_ANOTHER_MODEL.zip
all of three generate/use different format system.img.

Well I got tired of trying and returned the model, since I saw that the Huawei is much better (but has no multi-touch :(), and honestly I've been thinking more and more about getting an iPad (the Galaxy Tab is just too overpriced for the screen size, as compared to the WiFi-only iPad).

But to answer your question, I was using adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd2 system.img, and I also tried cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/system.img just to see if there would be a difference. I used adb pull for boot.img and recovery.img also, and those flashed fine.

this is why fastboot/recovery didn't work. pull/cat system partition generates unusable file because it is yaffs2 filesystem.

Sorry, if me being repeat asking same question.

My device is :

Apad iRobot Telechip TCC8902 7" Android 2.1 Tablet PC 4GB a.k.a Haipad M701

Apad telechip TCC8902 packs a Telechip CPU clocked at 720MHz and based on the ARM11 core,
NOT ARM9-based 600MHz Rockchip RK2808.
The CPU also includes a DSP co-processor and 3D graphics acceleration with support for 1080p full HD video.

    Stupid question, I've got the market working also, but see the same only 300 or so apps. You mention getting a different vending.apk, can you tell me where you got yours, and how can I tell what version I have?

    Thanks in advance.

    i'll attach the vending.apk I pulled from the other site, also i've done the market unlock for 2.0 listed on the wiki thread. The only other thing i've noticed is that you dont have the option to scroll down in portrait mode, only landscape.

    Gentouchpad, I've got a wifi advanced config editor that will get you on WEP if you're still interested. I mean... we've been working awefully hard to get it working for you...

    goodintentions.... what can I say? once WEP and then WPA did not work I was already in the weeds with ethernet cables and laptops laying around, had to flash firmware as a last resort. you know what they say, once you go WPA you never go back.
    Thanks though. I recall numerous others stuck with WEP who are having trouble as well.
