Nextbook 8 (NX785QC8G) Official Firmware Update Is Out

[dcc905]

I might be wrong but I think you need to run all the windows programs as administrator. This *should*fix the problem.

you're a genius dude thanks

Try on an older PC. Thanks for the warning for windows 8

[dcc905]

How's twrp coming along

New ROM uploading currently... Who wants to test?

I'm currently uploading my modified version of the official update for the NX785QC8G...

Pre-rooted, init.d, adb root, etc...

Who wants to try it before I release it publicly?

I'll be the first to test it out

[wiseman9871]

Yeah... something like that...

I'm partially done with it, just a few more changes needed to fix the mount points and such... and possibly add some custom mountpoints.

Then I need to decide if I want to try porting any additional Rockchip specific features from the stock SDK or not... I'd really like to add the ability to flash update.img formats to TWRP, but not sure how much work would be involved.

I'll b second

I'll PM you guys with the test link.

I'll PM you guys with the test link when it gets done uploading...

Installation is simple...

1. Unzip it to find the update.img file

Then you have 3 options:

Option 1. Put the update.img on your external SD card, boot into stock recovery, choose update rkimage from external storage, wait...

Option 2. Put the update.img on your external SD card, boot into android, choose yes when prompted to install update.img

Option 3. Flash from PV using one of the many rkflash tools (you'll have to look elsewhere for flash tools and instructions... check the forums here at Freaktab)

After install... I strongly advise doing a factory reset and recommend erasing SD card also.

Also, don't leave the update.img on your external SD card, because you'll be constantly prompted to install it over and over again...

Factory reset why?

[shaunmt]

Factory reset why?

In my experience, it seems to be good practice, and it seems to eliminate a lot of common user issues...

Dirty flash if you like... but if you have any problems, a factory reset should be your first troubleshooting step following a ROM flash...

Understood. Twrp giving you trouble compiling? That way we can wipe dalvik cache just in case
