SDcard detected only while connected to PC [SOLVED] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i accidentaly wiped my Android OS, recovery mode isnt working neither is ADB or fastboot,
i think my only solution is to flash it with an SD card or use stock recovery files with an SDcard, but neither works because i put update.zip into the root of SD card, and it only detects it and asks to install while its connected to PC with usb, but when i press install its restarts and its black screen(probably cant see SD anymore because of lost contact with pc), i tested it multiple times and it doesent asks to install update.zip firmware when its not connected to PC and turned on normally.
any other solutions?
i also tried to make a bootable SD card with rockchip sd maker , also wont boot from it even when plugged in pc( i guess too late contact with pc)
the device is prestigio pmp5880d
ANY help is appreaciated
also the tablet has a reset pinhole which only restarts the tablet

AFAIK Android doesn't make use of bootable SD-card unless it's added to Android's fstab file what gets processed when Android boots up.

so for what is rockchip SD disk tool used for then?
and why isn't my SD recognized to install update.zip when NOT connected to PC
anything i can do about it?
are you telling me this device is unflashable?

If your time allows look inside here to get an idea of what the Android Boot Process is about:
Android Boot Process - GeeksforGeeks
A Computer Science portal for geeks. It contains well written, well thought and well explained computer science and programming articles, quizzes and practice/competitive programming/company interview Questions.
www.geeksforgeeks.org
BTW:
Never have used the Rockchip SD Firmware Tool, hence I don't know what it does. But I'm pretty sure it only is suitable to Rockchip devices.

thanks a lot for this , its an interesting read.
yes my device is indeed rockchip RK3066.
edit:
flashed the device with stock rom using fastboot on linux, it couldnt get detected on windows no matter what i did.

Original Factory Image Files

Hi, I'm looking for original recovery image for folio so i can return my folio for warranty repair due to the "damaged internal storage" and SD card not detected problem. Other people have that problem but no one got a solution.
There was only one link from dexter
but it does not work for me (maybe due to sd card not correctly detected? sd card can be detected for some other mod though). Also when i open the zip file i notice the files types and location in the "folio stock image" is different from the mod that works on my folio.
Someone seems to have a Folio Original Recovery(apply via recovery).....how to do that actually?
Can it be fixed by fastboot (never done this and not sure what it is about actually) as done here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012980#12482544
http://bb2k.org/folio100wiki/index.php/FolioMod_Issues#Internal_storage_give_problems_.2F_no_enough_space_.2F_internal_storage_results_damaged
If you have sd damage or something like that it must be the mbr .At the end of lost partition method 2 , use this file mbr.mbr inside zip http://www.box.net/shared/suinl2fzqb63jkqaispj with adb
Hope this can help you but you need to install sdk and adb shell on you computer with the correct folio driver to connect your tablet in fastboot
Warning if you re not sure of what you do you should not do this but if it "bricked" it Will not be worst
if you are with Windows seven sometimes it s hard to install proper driver for folio try to use pdanet to do that if you still have waiting for device in adb shell

[Q] My tablet bricked need help

USB port not working, so I cannot connect to the computer to do nvflash or adb.
Getting android.process.acore has stopped message after start. I have the stock update.zip in the internal sd card because of which every time i do a recovery it trys to install the stock update and throws teh FC error. Not able to get past the FC error. Tried putting the clock work recovery in the external sd card but because of existing update.zip in the internal sdcard, external is not read.

What makes you think your USB ports are not work...maybe you haven't downloaded the correct stuff and configured it correctly (adb & apx drivers).
Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and follow code red. Follow the instructions step by step & download everything from the links on the site. If you still have a problem, post a message on that sites forum.

Don't take this wrong...just asking questions to try & help out. You would only see an unknown device if you had not installed the drivers (apx and/or adb). Once you have installed the adb & apx drivers for one gtab it will not be unknown. Are you sure you are entering apex mode correctly...hold power+volume - ? Screen will display 3 birds then go black!
Yes. I went to the apx mode correctly. Still did not see my device recognized.
I am looking for a solution for bypassing the FC temporarily or to clean the internal sdcard. once the internal sdcard is cleaned, i can use the external sdcard to do the clock works mod and go further

Take a look at this thread & see if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853537&highlight=android.process.acore
I am not able to get past the android.process.acore error. I think i will be able to fix it only if the usb drive works, i am going to call viewsonic and see if they will take it in for warranty repair.

Can't install on Windows 10 Tablet iBall Slide i701

I have an iBall Slide i701 running Windows 10. So, I wanted to try RemixOS on my tablet after seeing a thread on some site. So, I downloaded the zip and tried to use the USB option but my USB was not detected at all. I tried everything like formatting the pendrive to different formats, but still no luck. Then, I tried the Hard Disk installation, but here's the problem. My tablet has 16GB of internal storage of which right now about 7GB is free (which isn't enough to repartition). But, I do have a 16GB SD Card on the tablet but it's being shown as Secure SD Storage and I am unable to create a normal bootable partition with the SD Card. So, when I try the hard disk installation option, the SD Card doesn't show up among the hard drives, instead it shows among USB. Anyways, I tried USB installation to the SD Card, but it won't boot into the USB though I have set UEFI as boot option #1 and disabled secure boot.
Please help me out!
Well i have tried everything from booting linux to win7 win 8.1 installers with and without efi installers it just doesn't boot from any flash drive. There is a lock in the bios on boot option that forces it to boot from internal and yes i also tried via its sd slot, the prob is the sd card can only be accessed after it boots up, so thats a bummer,

hello, ive had similar problems with the iball marvel 6 and ive contacted iball for it and they sent me this email
With reference to your below mail, iBall compbook Marvel 6 comes with pre-installed OS 64 bit Windows 10 Home Ver. Customer cannot Upgrade or downgrade the OS through online or with any other external devices. Compbook works on tablet technology it will not support any other OS except the OS which is preinstalled in it, therefore there is no any separate drivers available for that..
i dont know if this is similar to yours but your slide also works on tablet technology so it might be the crux of the problem.
It is possible to load from USB
I had the same problem with my iball i701, during win10 upgrade it went into blank screen of death. Heres what i did.
0. Make efi shell as first boot in bios.
1. Go into efi shell, type map. It lists the drives, usb is not listed.
2. Unplug usb, type map -r
3. Plug in usb drive (my usb was win10 efi bootable drive), type map -r
4. Voila now the last entry is usb drive.
5. Type reset, press esc to go into bios. Usb is now listed in boot options.
Done.

ICOO iCou D70G2 Softbrick -- Please Help

Hello, I rooted my ICOO iCou D70G2 and managed to softbrick it into a loop at the Android messages. I bought another, identical tablet, and would now like to clone the new one into the old. I would very much appreciate complete, newbie level instructions on how this can be done.
Here is what I have tried so far.
I looked for a stock ROM for this device, but can't find one. The closest out there I could locate is for a D70Pro II. I don't know if it will work, and in any case, I still can't figure out how to flash the old tablet.
The old tablet does go into recovery mode using vol up and power. I tried putting the Pro II flash on the micro sd card (tried both img and zip, separate times), but the tablet isn't seeing the micro sd card in recovery mode with the update from sd card option. It shows a folder /sdcard with some seemingly empty subfolders, but even if I take out the micro sd card it shows the same set of folders and says choose a package.
I tried using the Intel USB drivers with adb, but the device isn't recognized in recovery mode by adb. Rockchip Batch Tools 1.8 also doesn't see the device, although it seems to load the ProII img file correctly.
It would be really great to get this old tablet to work. I don't have any CWM, TWRP or any other backup software on either device at this point. The new device is new from the box and not rooted.
