Hi,
I could really use help with my Novo 7 basic. I recently upgraded from honeycomb to Ainol's ICS version. I accomplished this using the normal flash method with the update.zip file copied to my 16G Mini SD. After the Rom update I installed several programs using ADB shell. I was having difficulty getting titanium backup to work and decided to upgrade my Rom to 4.0.3. I used the same method to flash my device with the update.zip file on my SD card. After the power up I get the android robot then the reboot but there is no change to the version of my Rom. I did a factory reset to my device. After the reset my device no longer had any of my previous installed apps but the version indicated in the settings is still 4.0.1. I have even attempted to flash back to honeycomb but no change occurs to my device. I then try to flash using CWM but I cannot get it to install on my device. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated
thanks

Sorry for being a tad late...
Please, don't use CWM. It's a nice piece of the software, but version for Novo7 Basic/Paladin is buggy and you have a good chance to mess up your device.
If you push "menu" button (three lines) next to the screen during update, you'll get to see some messages, and this might give you a clue what's wrong.
Most probably you've got broken update file and the update process aborts right after verifying the signature. Redownload the file and/or check MD5 sum.
If nothing else helps, please, try another SD card, Novo7 tablets are quite picky about them.

I install the clockworkmod for set up the GTAB rom...
but now i want to return to the stock recovery...so how to uninstall clockworkmod?
thanks!
savage,
You install CWM to replace the stock recovery. Therefore, you have to re-install the
stock recovery. If you were using a stock rom like say 3588, you would just reinstall
the rom again and let it overwrite CWM.
But since I don't know what rom you are using, you need to check the source of
your rom, make sure it contains the stock recovery -- and then inquire of the issuer
of the rom whether or not you should re-install or do some other special procedure.

thanks！ Now i am using the VEGAn-Tab Build rom~
so what should i do next?
sorry for the confusion~
GTAB ROM is not granular enough - you running stock or a modded ROM? If so, which ROM?
I can reply for TNT Lite 4.3.0+ or gADAM 1.3.0+ - there's a script setup to go back to standard recovery. If you are running either of these, please see my first posts on those ROMs for instructions on what to do. Again, this is only if you are running TNT Lite or gADAM.
You can also attempt to flash standard recovery using a build 3588 standard recovery firmware image in PART3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005080
savage,
EDIT: roebeet answered you first so I'll just stand by and see what y'all do.
Good luck!

problem with installing CWM
I got my gtablet yesterday and tried to install CWM v.8 using external micro SD card. It looked like it was half way done because it could not reboot by itself and stuck at a screen asking for reboot. So I selected reboot but it did not reboot. I had to force it to close. When I pressed volume+ and power, it had this message on the upper left coner: Recover key detected, booting recovery kernel image and 3 birds in the middle of the screen. It stuck there forever without doing anything. I only installed Z4root and nothing else. How can I remove the half-done CWM and redo it again. If I can do it again, what should I look out to avoid the same error?

If you got your tablet yesterday, then it probqbly had firmware 1.2.4349 on it, which is a 1.2 bootloader firmware. You tried installing a CWM made for a 1.1 bootloader. how much research did you do prior to modding? Seeing as you installed Z4root, I'd imagine that you didn't do much, as it's not needed at all to root your G-tab.
go to http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and start reading at "START HERE" to get an idea of what your dealing with, and what you can and can't do...look through the entire site!
to get out of where you are now, and back to a workable base, follow the "CODE RED" instructions here: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
Lastly...don't do anything else silly until you've read and understand all of the instructions on Goodintentions site...it's a GREAT resource and should be a pre-requisite for all new G-Tab owners.
Hey there everybody, tried to find a solution all day long for my problem, but wasn't successful jet.
Brought uk version of ics on my tab (using P7510XXLPH) without any problems. I came from cm9 with cwm 5.5.0.4, because of the rolling recovery issue i flashed a different bootloader using isimobile's method.
To get ics working i flashed Stock HC, wiped cache and made a factory reset, both 3x. Finally flashed UK 7510 Version (everything with odin 1.85). Works great now, better then ever....
But and here is the problem, if i want to flash the zip for easy-root from internal sd card using stock recovery mode, it can't be mounted (see attached pictures).
I looked all day long on xda without finding a solution fitting for me. Maybe i'm searching with the wrong words, don't know. There are many solutions for a external sd card, also for different devices, but how can i solve my problem with a gt-p7511/7510?
Hope that someone can help me, don't want to kill the tab by using a try-and-error-method.
And please don't kill me directly, if i did something wrong, just getting started and want to learn now activ, after just reading xda for years.
Thanks for your help!
Just to avoid anybody to think i'm blind, yes i read also these two threads without beeing convinced that they would help me:

edit 2:
Just to prevent anyone to stick at the same trapp as i did, all stock recovery from ics and up where patched to prevent access to sdcard from there. This might be clear to many here, but it wasn't to me. Thanks to msedek, who lighted me up, my "problem" is absolutely normal and wished by devs. Just didn't delet my post becaus about 100 people seemed to be interested so there could be need to state that clear.
Sorry to post bs. If someone thinks my post isn't helpful at all it can be deleted also.
I return now back to read-only-state in the forum, there is still much more to learn...
Hi, I have the same problem on my GT-P7500 (Galaxy Tab 10.1).
If I flash with Odin the stock HoneyComb firmware, all returns working as usual.
If I flash with Odin the stock ICS firmware, I get this issue and can't install anything on recovery because it says
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
by the way I'm happy that you confirm this isn't my fault on something :angel:
Anyway, now the only method to get a working root seems to be:
1) Flash HC
2) Root as usual
3) Do the OTA update to ICS
The first time I updated to ICS, I've done this way because I had original Rooted HC and after the update, Root was still present.

Only method?? Once youve installed ICS, use Odin to flash CWM and then install the root zip

I flashed with mobile Odin and had the same problem. I think Samsung blocked it so we are not able to root easily. This was the case in 7510 in honeycomb also. Anyway, I used Odin to install team win recovery and rooted it!

Yes, thats what i was informed about to by msedek. It's a issue to might prevent us from flashing without custom recovery.
Obviousely it worked, thought i did something wrong and my tab didn't act normal

Hi,
I think I might have bricked my Nook. A (hopefully) brief recap of what I did and have tried..
Tablet - 16gb
I was rooted and running CM10 internally. Decided to retore the factory image (I've done this before with no problems) and it worked fine. Restored, set up Nook with B&N, and re-rooted with zip file.
Check things out and decided to go back to the CM10 back-up I'd done via TWRP and this is where I think I screwed things up...I was on rooted stock 1.4.2 with CWM and restored the back-up from CWM.
Since then the internal set-up has been screwed up.
I tried to restore is back to stock again, it starts, tells me it's loading the software, I get the green check mark, pull out my SD-card, the tablet reboots and I get the wonderful red arrow telling me to restart and I get the arrow again to contact B&N support.
I've tried to flash the factory image, got TWRP up and running, tried to restore my back up and it says it runs except for an error: "E: Unable to mount '/data1.'
Also tried to install CM10 again and get the same error about unable to mount data.
Any suggestions anyone? I can work the Nook from the sd card (though it's interesting going back to CM7 again [will have to create a CM10 version]) but would love to fix this....
Thanks,
NikkieL
Try using Adam Outlet Ubuntu Total Re Flash method. It fixes most problems with bricked devices.

I'd suggest that you try flashing afresh a CM10 or CM10.1 build using SDcard recovery, using a method such as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.
In case you're considering using one of the so-called "unbricking" tools, read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 first before you pick the wrong tool that would permanently wipe out your NT's individual device specific data like WiFi MAC address, security certificate, serial number, etc.
Thanks very much! Worked beautifully! Nook back working again!

Here is a little background;
I'm new to the android world and this is my first tablet using it. I received the tablet under the terms that its mine, if I can fix it. THE TABLET So the research begins. The original problem with the tablet: everything would crash after unlock screen, including loader. The tablet does not have any kind of visual recovery mode using the hard buttons. At this time I did not know about any of the tools that I probably could of used to save the stock firmware. When I hit Google with "Cruz velocity micro t510" not much came up, so I spent about a day trying all sorts of different terms with that. There was not even a place to download firmware from cruz, they say wifi is mandatory to upgrade, from within the tablet... I finally ran into a post somewhere where someone said the cruz t510 is an allwinner a10 in disguise. They went on to say that all you need to do is use Livesuit and flash 'sun4i_crane_T05a_v1.5_mxc6225' img from eken website then from there you can use the compatability zip and upgrade to cm10.
So all was good. The t05a firmware there works perfect on it, like the guy said. I kept that on there for a day before I went on to CyanogenMod.
Here is where I am stuck; (Tired of googling, please help )
I decide to try AOKP and CM10 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398 and one for AOKP too with t05a-v1_compatibility_1.2.x.zip. And http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189640 for recovery mode. I learned how to setup and use ADB with command prompt here.
So I install CWM using ADB shell and reboot into recovery using the sh file. I first folowed the steps to install AOKP and all goes smoothly until I reboot.
I get a notice saying "Damaged SD Card, You may need to reformat" and I realize that it is talking about the internal disk space. I try to reformat and the same notice will appear again or I will have to go in Settings>Storage and Mount SDcard, only to be told no, it is damaged. So I got scared and re-flash back to the eken stock firmware with livesuit. Guess what, sdcard mounted and working again. Then I go on to repeat the upgrade but with CM10 this time. Same result.
I have gone back to the stock image and retried many times. I tried with all three partition versions of that CWM I use, even though I knew it was 10, or so adb shows. I also tried partitioning and formmating with CWM, many times, each a little different.
Short, Sweet, and Simple version;
THE TABLET
Eken a90 stock firmware using livesuit -> SDCard works fine
CM10 or AOKP with t05a-v1_compatibility_1.2.x.zip using CWM 6.0.2.8 -> SDCard damaged
If anyone could help I would very much appreciate it. I need a break from all the research, I'm going to play gtav and hope someone has a solution for me.
I'm trying to upgrade my T510 from original manufacturers specs and could sure use whatever files uou have
So, I have never rooted or flashed a device before and I kinda dove into rooting mine and hoped to learn along the way.
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 version i545VRUEMK2, I used this method from a guy on YouTube named Andre Hebra, it's his only video so if you want to see what it was you can find it (sorry couldn't post a link, I'm a forum newb) now I'm rooted but half of the superuser app is in Chinese or Japanese and its kind of annoying but I can figure out what is happening.
Now here is where I started having some trouble, I decided to try and flash a ROM to my device. I was trying to flash CyanogenMod 11 (12/26/13) Nightly (have no idea what nightly means) and I ran into a few problems that I hope some of you guys can help me with. I downloaded Clockwork ROM Manager and Installed a Recovery. I moved the .zip file from the Cyanogen website to the SD card in my phone. And also moved phone's files into a folder on my computer as a backup. I put my phone into recovery mode through the CWM app and cleared the cache and wiped the data. Now, I can't manually enter recovery boot by holding the volume up, power and home buttons, the phone boots up, the Recovery Boot message appears for a split second and then the phone turns off and boots up again into Android. I'm also struggling to figure out how to flash the ROM, shouldn't I be able to use this Clockwork app to install it from my SD card? But when I try and do that the .zip file doesn't show up in the directory. Did I do something wrong? A quick run through and tutorial would be helpful.
Device Info:
Model number: SCH-i545
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Versions: i545VRUEMK2
I'm also having trouble navigating to the guides on this site for rooting and flashing my particular device. So i apologize if there is a guide for all of this somewhere but I couldn't find it.
What ROM

You have to make sure that you get the correct ROM for the device you have as they are many. Always if a new to rooting, write down all information from Setting>about. This is where all the most important information is. This way folks on here can help you out a lot better. It seems that you are stuck in a "Boot loop" it's not a big deal. There are a bunch of Youtube videos about boot loop check it out. I'm not that familiar with the ROM you have. Good Luck!

If you are new to all this, then you need to do alot more reading first of all if you are on MK2 base, you can not load any custom recovery except for safestrap. And with safestrap you CANNOT load any CM or ASOP based ROMS. This situation has been discuss a couple hundred times thru out this forum. You will get to learn about ODin process now as that is your only recourse.
many youtube videos on odin and search function works in XDA
