Have you tried all the roms? ICS Alpha 1,2,3 and 4?

Tried 3 and 4, didn't bother trying earlier ones, as it seems the latest ones work for most users

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.

Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.

Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.

I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.

Download driver from attachment.

Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder

That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.

Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...

I've attached a screenshot for you




EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing

NVIDIA Android Fastboot Device

and a terminal with fastboot not seeing the device

When You have win7, You have run the console as admin!
Or copy the complete Fastboot folder to another Destination like c:\temp...

Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...

But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash

no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)

Last method I tried was:

1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release


installing update...

then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )

Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method
