I Pre-Apologize If this Has been asked before My Interest at the current time is about developing a recovery image for my soft-bricked Nextbook Ares A11 Tablet android 5.1 64 bit Atom processor 1gb ddr3 ram if i remember correctly I was experimenting with trying to find a recovery image that i could flash to it and well Bricked I can however boot to some sort of bios hardware settings in it with the ability to boot from file and change manufacturer hardware settings ...I dont believe that is part of the android booting process but somewhere hardcoded! As for the android booting i no longer have the stock recovery<!--go figure--> but i still am able to access fastboot in download mode and i have the update firmware from the manufacturers for my specific device! Sorry if this seems like 2 questions If you could tell me wether i could flash the update to fix it has the boot.img in it also other files looks similar to how to root with file-systems anyways if you have no advice on how to unbrick my advice Here is the real question!! What matters when developing a recovery.img for a specific device what do i have to take into consideration as to hardware specs and software specs any good links to that would be awesome and for the final question how to distinguish my recovery partition type idk if it is MTD or BML I cant find the MTD folder so assuming it is BML I can also get additional info such as last_log or any of that I am able to USB boot the tablet into Kali Linux Sorry for Such a long and drawn out explanation I will revise my question if needed and possibly start two separate posts on this! Thanks in advanced i really appreciate the Help!!! XDA Rules
Update Tried to flash the update firmware boot.img snd now i also have a verity issue I think ive tried everything

maybe my answer is to wait until a flash recovery comes out for this tablet!

I have found a Temporary Solution for my Bricked Nextbook Ares A11 Given it is Buggy and you may need to experiment to get the WIFI working! I didnt yet!
I have read somewhere that you can take these Android_x86.ISO and compile the Kernel I Dont Know How YET but if you cant find one that Supports the Wifi chip then i think you'll have to compile the drivers with the Kernel!

If you can Find an ISO Image for this device that seems to work decent at least the WIFI Let me know please I'll be 4ever Grateful!

Here is my Temporary Fix!

While looking for Android Images to Install on my Nextbook I stumbled upon this webpage It has loads of Android ISO's for running inside a VM
http://www.android-x86.org/download
I used a Bootable usb to test then install the one That worked the best for me
The software on my Device was Buggy One ISO let WIFI work for the first boot then all of a sudden it stopped working.... on this one the touchscreen never worked! heres the ISO name---cm-x86-13.0-rc1.iso--<!--WIFI worked for the first boot-->

The other one is --Android-x86 6.0-- the WIFI never worked but the touchscreen does but not for a real long time!! I think if you get the kernels then custom build them to fit your device that would fix a Soft brick for any device that you could figure out how to boot a USB image on!

Why not extract the device's kernel from an update file if possible?
