My biggest question is how are you flashing these to the 701i? I can not find a lick of recovery anywhere for this tablet. I can access stock recovery but that does not allow me to do anything provided here other than install the "base" and "gapps"...please help me out here. I am no n00b to rooting/flashing but my goodness finding recovery is a pain...

Ah, you fell into the same trap as me. I posted a separate thread asking for help and basically you have to install THIS APK to get the recovery FIRST. Then you can follow the steps.

I agree with Elektrik's response but if you are still stuck I posted detailed info here for this reason: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...-Polaroid-701C

I think I may have f***ed myself on this one. I am in stock recovery, somehow flashed the CM10, loaded the tablet, but the screen didn't work...now I cannot re-flash the stock ROM...help please?

Does this even apply since you are referring to 701c and not 701i?

I have a 701c but even this thread is meant for both tablets and more so I assume they all run very similar A10 Allwinner hardware.

Jacoda-have you ever tried to install the stock ROM before? I'm not accusing, just geniunely asking. All you have to do is download the 'stock' ROM, run the live suite program, make sure the image you want is loaded and then hold down the 'menu' button while plugging in the USB (While the LiveSuite program is running). Keep holding that button down until the program prompts you to flash the ROM....

I have flashed the ROM before. One of the first things I did, but now I can't even do that. I open up LiveSuit, go through the prompts to select the IMG for flash (stock). Then before clicking anything else in LiveSuit I have my tablet powered off, press and hold the Menu key and plug in the usb to the tablet. After a while it pops up says Polaroid and then comes to the Green Android with Red Triangle. I have continued to hold the button as well as release the button but nothing ever happens. I fear that because I cannot do anything in CM10 (touch screen does not work) that the USB Debugging option is disabled and I cannot enable it.

Ok 2 things:

1. You're sure you have enough charge on the tablet?
2. take out the SD card and try the livesuite flash process. (humor me).

You mean like we have been talking? LiveSuit, select img, then hold Menu and plug in?

SCRATCH THAT!!! I figured it out, I wasn't pressing the power button 10 times like LiveSuit suggested.
