It has Stock ROM v1.3.1 (ie. build JDQ39.20140424.153851). I was trying to flash ROM: "Rooted + ClockworkMod Recovery Stock v1.3.1" (from: www.modaco.com/topic/372551-stock-hudl-rom-for-windows-rktools17-latest-available-rom-v131-build-jdq3920140424153851 -- see post#1: sirius-c 25May14).
I followed the instructions there exactly, namely:
1. Developer Options . USB debugging . enable
2. Connected USB: device showed up as "Hudl" (in both Device Manager and Windows Explorer).
3. AdbDriverInstaller.exe: device installed successfully (Device Manager: "Rockusb Device").
4. RKBatchTool.exe: green square (bottom left) confirmed Hudl connected.
But then the actual flash failed with error:
<Layer 5-1> Prepare IDB Fail
**********Restore Done Success<0> Fail<1> Time<118701>ms**********
I tried again and got error:
<Layer 5-1> Test Device Fail
**********Restore Done Success<0> Fail<1> Time<64350>ms**********
Now, on connecting USB, the Hudl fails to appear in Windows Explorer, and appears in Device Manager as: Universal Serial Bus contollers . Unknown Device:
- I am running Win7 Ult. x64 with Faronics Deep Freeze - which means all changes (eg. driver installs) are discarded on reboot, ie. Windows starts clean on every boot.
- I can't get the Windows USB drivers to install successfully now (because "Unknown Device").
- The Hudl still boots, same as before I attempted flash, (although the first couple of times had video problem: fuzzy horizontal lines).
I have checked/tried:
- unplug/reconnect USB repeatedly, and using different USB ports;
- also with Hudl in safe mode.
The Android System Recovery (ASR) menu is still accessible, but I haven't tried a full Factory Reset as yet: I was rather hoping my /data partition might survive when flashing the new ROM.
How likely would Factory Reset resolve the USB problem? Any other suggestions before I try it? eg. is there another way to install the right Windows drivers?
- I have already tried Snoop05: ADB, Fastboot and Drivers (v1.4.2) at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2588979
Also, if/when USB works again, should I try flashing the exact same ROM again? (have many succeeded with it?) Or use the second ROM in sirius-c's post (ie. rooted but not CWM)? Or is there any other ROM you would recommend? Use a different flash procedure?
Any help much appreciated! thanks, Andrew.
