Did the Device try to Re-Encrypt the tablet or is it just stuck? I had to Re authorize once I removed the Encryption.

Did you test GPS?

Also I might have deleted the os because twrp mentioned something about no os being installed.

Um, now that wouldn't be good, can't boot without OS.

Managed to install boot.img and twrp permanently, now twrp reports internal storage 10650MB. Still stuck on the nextbook logo, fyi both linux and windows cant seem to detect the tablet its either (adb devices) device not found or unautherized so I cant use commands like adb reboot recovery to disable encryption.

you need to format data and cache.

OK, I have uploaded what is needed to root, and disable encryption, plus ability to flash permanent twrp recovery.http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...overy-t3133165

Thanks for the Reply's that is the first thing I want to do is remove the encryption not sure why they would roll out this build and make it forced encryption.

Can you download GPS test from playstore and see if it picks up any satellites?

Mine does not, so I want to see if GPS works on yours or if it doesn't work on any of these devices.

I'll wait for you twrp recovery, because all I can do now is boot into twrp_3830_recovery.zip using trigger 4. Everttime I turn it on the nextbook logo will appear and stay there.

Not a problem, it's a two part process from where you are to get you up and going, I have to get home before I can upload what is needed.
I work out of town, might have up today, if not tomorrow. You will need to format data and cache then boot into fastboot and flash modified boot.img from there run twrp and root.
Once tablet boots it will be rooted with encryption turned off.

something went wrong, now internal storage show 11 megs. used twrp recovery with trigger 4, flashed supersu and it froze right there(prolly corrupt). now it ask for a password i never had, so I wen for factory reset and it gets stuck when its encrypting the tablet. I cant even get there no more it just get stuck at the logo Nextbook. Carefull guys any tips.

You need to be a little more specific what you did. You damaged your data partition for one thing, that can be fixed.
I haven't released a twrp recovery for this device yet, I do have one though.

The password request is an encryption thing, once you root and format data and cache, turn off encryption you won't see that anymore.
