[Q] Garmin Asus A50 Dead

---

Dear All

I'm a new android user, I just get a new A50 from Australia and try to root it. It's successful with z4root and I try to install Thai font to system. Unfortuantely I did wrong by deleting font folder in the system, therefore I can't run the system again. When I power on, it still have only garmin asus android logo and can't use it again. Does anyone please let me know how to restore or resolve this problem, or I have to throw it away? Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

Android 1.6 or the new 2.1 Eclair update?

It's a new Eclair 2.1 update, is there any solution?

Connect it to your computer via USB cable.

Using ADB, try this:


ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.

If it works, a yellow triangle appears with the green android guy.

Hit the HOME button. A menu appears. Use volume up/down to move through the options. Tap power to select it I beleive.

Reset/wipe to factory is one of the options.

If you need it, ADB is found in the Android SDK.

If that doesn't work, try calling in to Garmin for support.

Dear Spazmogen

Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm really new with ANDROID.
I downloaded ANDROID SDK and try to install but it dodn't work.
I use Win 7 64bit, do I need another software to run this command.
If possible, please let me know some previous post that already teach for beginner.
Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

ADB is a command line tool. But you will have to get Android SDK installed on the computer 1st.

Read the instructions for installing the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

ADB commands: HERE.

Interesting. I got into the recovery screen using the Quick Boot app,used the home button to show the menu. The arrows and volume buttons move, but can't actually do anything. Probably related to missing files that are reported in the data/cache/recovery folder.

official 2.1 update came out today for USA GARMINFONES. Not the A50 Nuvifones elsewhere in the world...

Is the update different from the leaked one?
